“We are not who we are. It goes no further than this. It stops right here, right now.”
From outside the frozen base we hear the two gunshots.
Mulder and Scully are sent to the base during a three day break in the storm to find out what has happened.
They are joined by another doctor, a toxicologist, and a geologist and the one pilot crazy enough to fly them there with the coming weather. The only information they have is the video transmission that was sent.
When they get to the base, Mulder is attacked by a dog.
The pilot, Bear, is bitten by the dog. They find the dog is infected apparently by the same disease that caused the base’s scientists to kill each other.
It shows up in the victim as worm attached to the nervous system. It makes the victim turn violent.
He is told no one can reach them because the storm has picked up earlier than expected.
They discover that by introducing a second worm to the victim the worms kill each other.
They manage to cure the dog. The doctor and toxicologist want to put the last worm in Mulder to cure him. If he is not already infected, the worm will infect him and there is not another one left.
A great episode.
It has a very claustrophobic feeling. If you have not seen this episode, see if you can figure out who is the one that is infected. It is the last surprise of the episode.
