- Quotes
[last lines]
Mulder: They're shutting us down, Scully.
Scully: What?
Mulder: They called me in tonight and they said they're going to reassign us to other sections.
Scully: Who told you that?
Mulder: Skinner. He said word came down from the top of the Executive Branch.
Scully: Mulder...
Mulder: It's over, Scully.
Scully: Well, you have to lodge a protest. They can't...
Mulder: Yes they can.
Scully: What are you going to do?
Mulder: I'm... not going to give up. I can't give up. Not as long as the truth is out there.
- Crazy creditsThe line at the end of the opening sequence that usually reads "The Truth Is Out There" is instead "Trust No One."

Fast paced and thrilling episode starts in medias res of the high speed car chase. One of these episodes where the beginning is equally effective and exciting as its ending.
I can't describe the story of the episode as it would spoil too much, but it is the best written one of the first season.
