About this Episode
The X-Files’ very first three-parter ends here!
While Scully and Skinner face off with guns in Mulder’s apartment, Mulder arrives and is determined to find the truth. Skinner has the DAT tape the Cigarette Smoking Man is after, and Mulder tells him to protect it while he and Scully search for answers about the conspiracy they’ve started to uncover. However, they soon find out that the men behind the conspiracy still want them both dead.
Maybe they can say, “Let’s Make a Deal!”
That’ll make more sense later. ;)
