SUMMARY
Leonard Murdoch, a scientist for the high-tech firm Biotech, is murdered, and Chase and August suspect someone in his company wanted to keep him quiet. The detectives get a call from a Biotech whistleblower, who tells them the firm's CEO is planning to sell a top-secret biological chemical to international American enemies. Chase is convinced it's a cover-up for a government study of alien DNA, but before he and August can learn more, they are surrounded by military vehicles and men in black.

TRIVIA
The sound August makes after reading the title Chase's book is the musical sound the alien ship makes in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
At the end of the episode, Chase says to August, "I bet you don't even watch The X-Files," which Steven Williams had a recurring role on at the time.
During dinner, August mentions when Wayne Berry used a smoke bomb on him and Chase to try and escape in the episode "Captain Crimestopper."

As Chase and August stand talking next to the black car after the warehouse ambush, the boom mike's reflection is visible on the hood of the car.
