About this Episode
In a volcano, no one can hear you scream… unless they’re in the volcano too.
A volcanic research team fails to check in and the observatory sees one of their bodies on the feed from a research robot. Mulder and Scully are sent with a team to investigate what happened and extract the survivors. But everyone at the station is paranoid and the team leader, suspected of killing a team member, has vanished. Mulder and Scully must figure out what’s going on and find the missing scientist before it’s too late.
