In this first of a three-part story arc, a mental patient who
claims voices in his head are the result of alien abduction escapes from a psychiatric institution, taking
hostages, including his doctor. Mulder is called in to negotiate in the
resulting standoff, where he discovers that the mental patient, Duane Barry, is a former FBI agent
whose UFO abduction stories ring eerily true. Mulder exchanges himself for one of the hostages, but
Scully discovers evidence in Barry's medical records that all is not as it seems.
Resolution of the hostage crisis poses even more questions, as medical evidence may bear out Barry's claims.
But before Mulder can investigate further, Duane Barry kidnaps Scully. |
