A really good episode. For the fan of X FILES, you can see Morris Fletcher and Mulder. You discover that Yves and Mulder are in touch ... This episode is focused on Yves. Nice work.

Better but unoriginal

OH, THE IRONY
The episode is ironically much better than the previous ones, and that's actually a problem. Because it is not better by trying to be original, it is better by simply trying to emulate an X-Files episode based on the Lone Gunmen. That's the irony. That's the reason why the spin-off is pointless. It serves no purpose, whatsoever.
FOX MULDER
The appearance of Fox Mulder, portrayed by David Duchovny, is horrible. Horrendous. Stupid. Extremely badly executed. The music when he appears is literally horrible. I mean truly, truly horrible. Mark Snow utilizes the title music of The X-Files in the worst of ways. The same way the sound cue will be used in the movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe, when we get to see the picture frame of George W. Bush.
SUMMARY
A better but still bad episode. I give it 3 out of 10. Also, the cliffhanger is totally uninspiring and uninteresting.
TRANSCRIPT
SCENE 1
GEORGETOWN PLAZA HOTEL
WASHINGTON DC
A very pleasant lowlit bar Gentle piano music is being played As the camera pans across the room we hear a conversation
WOMAN Thank you
MAN Youre very welcome Cheers
The MAN and the WOMAN are sitting at the bar
WOMAN So what do you do for a living

WOMAN Really Well I can keep a secret
MAN Thats what I love to hear
The MAN puts his hands behind his back and pulls off his wedding ring and slips it into his trouser pocket We now see that the man is MORRIS FLETCHER

Cut to an interior room Its just like when Mulder was being tortured by the aliens Through the window we can see the moon seemingly very near MORRIS FLETCHER is strapped into the same chair as Mulder was but his hands are free He appears to be waking up
MORRIS FLETCHER Oh man
He begins to realise where he is
MORRIS FLETCHER Oh Hello Hello
He cant move his head as his face is held just as Mulders was
MORRIS FLETCHER Can we talk about this
He sees an ALIEN moving towards him Its pale grey and small but with round black eyes and a humanoid nose and mouth It doesnt appear to be walking rather gliding noiselessly towards MORRIS FLETCHER
MORRIS FLETCHER Alright alright Im MIB Majestic 12 We play for the same team
The ALIEN produces an instrument
MORRIS FLETCHER Oh no not the nose thing I hate the nose the thing
The ALIEN moves the instrument very close to MORRIS FLETCHER nose

FROHIKE How about it
LANGLY Its tricky Theyve got a wicked access system based on facial recognition If your face doesnt match one in their database they lock you in

LANGLY Negatory Its built as a ROM file Itd be like changing Moses stone tablets
MORRIS FLETCHER Thats what Im saying And even then how would blue boy pass with his complexion

YVES drives through the streets the mystery car following her She turns into an alley the other car follows and stops behind Yves parked car Theres no sign of Yves Then she taps on the window of the mystery mans car with her gun She shoots out the front tyre then taps on the window again The man winds the window down and Yves pushes the gun barrel up against his neck Its the man who was watching her in the Smithsonian Institution
SHARPLY DRESSED MAN Im not armed
YVES You should be
SHARPLY DRESSED MAN I have a message for you People that you care about may die tonight

SHARPLY DRESSED MAN Its up to you If you come with me now theyll be safe Perhaps we could take your car

BYERS There we are that should do it Number fifteen
MORRIS FLETCHER Now what exactly does this do Aside from making sure he never gets laid again
LANGLY Ah bite me Fletcher
MORRIS FLETCHER Maybe You taste like blueberries
BYERS Guys Facial recognition works by scanning the shape of each face and measuring a sampling of its prominent features
LANGLY Fifteen sampling points with this system
BYERS So if Langlys face is chromakey blue and hence invisible to the scanner all the machine picks up are these fifteen pink dots which correspond to the exact sampling points of one Walter Belofsky whom we pulled off the Fenix Atlantic database
The monitor shows the face of Frank Spotnitz with corresponding dots
LANGLY And presto Im in like Flynn
MORRIS FLETCHER You guys never went to your high school prom did you
The VW door opens and FROHIKE climbs in
