ONLY A MENTALLY RETARDED JANITOR AND A DEAD SCIENTIST CAN HELP MULDER AND SCULLY SOLVE A SERIES OF MURDERS IN A RESEARCH FACILITY.
A research scientist is trapped in a wind tunnel and sucked into a giant experimental turbine, the first of two bizarre murders whose only link is either a mentally handicapped man or a dead one. Alerted by handwriting analysis and research into the victims' backgrounds, Mulder and Scully discover an old secret that links twins separated at an early age, genetic mutation and the possible survival of a mind after the death of the body. When the last surviving researcher is caught in a fatal trap, Mulder and Scully must act on their instincts to call back the mind of a dead man in his living brother.

Scully: "Does this pitch somehow end in a way for me to lower my long distance charges?"
