Morris in the car!!

TAG LINE
The Truth Is Out There

In Nevada, Mulder and Scully drive down a highway at night because Mulder has been contacted by a source who claims to work at Area 51, the infamous top secret facility housing dead aliens and alien craft. Mulder believes the source may know the truth about UFOs and alien life and, as the pair approach the base, they are surrounded by government vehicles and soldiers who order them to step out of their car. A civilian official, Morris Fletcher, tells them that they must leave, and that there are no flying saucers. But a UFO flies overhead and Mulder and Morris somehow change bodies. Scully, not realizing this, pulls Mulder - who is really Morris - on the arm and they leave. Mulder - who everyone else thinks is Morris - plays it by ear and goes back to Area 51. His name tag has the organizational name "Majestic" on it and a video display at the security desk makes it clear to him that he looks like Morris. He finds Morris' office by the name plate on the wall and sees photographs of him with Presidents. He tries to phone Scully, but she is out of the car and getting gas. Later, a woman calls - she is Morris' wife. She is unhappy with him because he works late and always complains. Another agent comes in and says phone records confirm that an informant did call the FBI. The agent gives Morris (Mulder) a ride home. Mulder - instead of getting into bed with Morris' wife - spends the night in a recliner chair and watches a pornography channel on the TV. In the countryside, authorities are at a crash site. The co-pilot is physically embedded in a boulder but still alive. It is as if they are joined as one being. The pilot is speaking an unintelligible language. At FBI headquarters the next morning, Kersh reprimands the agents (one of whom is really Morris posing as Mulder). Morris promises to never investigate an X-File again. He flirts with Kersh's secretary and Scully tells him he is acting unusual. Meanwhile, Morris' wife, JoAnn, wakes Mulder up. Mulder cannot handle the family homelife, which includes two teenagers, so he locates the car keys and his partner calls to tell him that something big is going on. Back at Area 51, Mulder learns that the pilot of the test craft is speaking Hopi, and claiming to be an elderly Hopi woman. The real woman has been located, and she appears to have the memories of the pilot. Later, from a payphone, Mulder reaches Scully in Washington and tries to explain, but she does not believe his story. Instead, she orders a trace on the call. As Mulder drives his car he sees the white goverment vehicles rushing the other direction, one of which slows to tell Morris (Mulder) to follow. The gas station where Mulder placed the call has been wrecked. Inside, the attendant is embedded in the floor (again, as if they were one being) and someone says, "It happened again." A soldier kills the attendant and the gas station is burned. Later still, Scully visits Mulder's apartment and when she gets there, Kersh's secretary, giggling, is just leaving. Scully tells Mulder (Morris) that the call was traced to near Groom Lake and Area 51, but he says that they would get in trouble if they attempt to follow up. Meanwhile, Mulder is in a meeting at Area 51 in which it is stated that there has been a tear in the space-time continuum, apparently caused by the antigravity propulsion system of the craft. A general at the meeting mentions "We've been flying them since 1953." There is no way to know if they can undo the effects of the tear. Scully, in the meantime, is back in Nevada. She finds the destroyed gas station, and finds two coins fused together as one. In the morning, Scully shows up at Morris' house where JoAnn accuses her husband of infidelity. Mulder tries to convince Scully of who he really is, even describing what she eats for lunch - mixing bee pollen in with her yogurt. She still does not believe him and drives off. Kersh calls her cell phone and threatens that she must do exactly as he says while Morris, posing as Mulder, is also in Nevada and has called Area 51 to report a security leak. Mulder steals the flight data recorder from the crashed craft and meets Scully, but is it a setup and Mulder is arrested. As Mulder is hauled off, he shouts repeatedly to Scully, "He's not me! He's not me!" To be continued ...
