MULDER RACES TO GET TO THE SITE OF A DOWNED UFO BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT DOES.
Whatever fell to earth in a fiery explosion in the woods is the focus for two searches: Mulder's one-man expedition, and a highly secret UFO retrieval team. The government team quickly sets up a cover story, a base camp and a trap for the fugitive alien. But the only thing they trap is Mulder, to the chagrin of both the military and the Bureau. Scully is sent to bring him home to a tribunal. But Mulder discovers an unlikely ally in Max Fenig, a UFO true believer whose enthusiasm contrasts with Scully's insistence that the cover story is genuine. She changes her mind, however, when she sees firsthand the radiation burns suffered by soldiers when the being attacks them. Angry at the lies and the coverup, she aids Mulder when he discovers that Max is more than a simple UFO fan, with secrets even he does not know he holds. When a mysterious force takes over Max's body, Mulder is sole witness to a remarkable abduction. But only the intervention of his patron, Deep Throat, can save Mulder's career when charges are brought against him.

Mulder: "That's a lot of firepower just to protect mother nature."
CCH: "I have my orders. And a license to execute them as a I see fit. I suggest you forget what you saw, what you think you saw for your own well being."
Mulder: "You've got a downed craft in those woods, sir. And troops carrying live rounds! We both know what's out there!"

Scully: "This isn't funny, Mulder."
Mulder: "Did you meet Max?"
Scully: "Who?"

Mulder: "What else?"

Commander Calvin Henderson: "Whatever happened, Mulder, it has nothing to do with you."
Mulder: "You're wrong, Colonel. We both want the same thing; only you want it dead. Can't you see that chasing it down like an animal you leave it no choice but to defend itself? How many more people have to die before you rethink your approach?"

Mulder: "How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal?"
FBI Official: "That will be all, Mr. Mulder."
Mulder: "You can deny all the things I've seen, all the things I've discovered, but not for much longer. Because too many others know what's happening out there. And no one, no government agency, has jurisdiction over the truth."

Deep Throat: "Always keep your friends close, Mr McGrath, but keep your enemies closer."
