5X20 The End
A twelve year old boy, Gibson Praise sits opposite a Russian man, engaged in a chess game. As the boy announces 'checkmate' and slides back in his chair a shot rings out, killing the Russian.
Meanwhile two masked figures close in on the cabin where the Cigarette Smoking Man is in hiding. One of them reveals himself as Krycek, sent to bring the Cigarette Smoking Man back.
Assistant Director Skinner calls in Mulder and Scully to assist agent Spender heading up the case. Mulder puts forward the theory that Gibson was the target of the assassin not the Russian, that he slid back out of harms way because he is clairvoyant, another agent Diana Fowley agrees with him.
The Cigarette Smoking Man meets with the Well Manicured Man and identifies Gibson as a threat to them. A threat Mulder realises, believing that the boy could hold the key to the conspiracy against the X-files.
Scully visits the Lone Gunman and discovers that Mulder and agent Fowley used to be together.
Mulder meanwhile offers the suspected assassin immunity from prosecution in return for co-operation, he reveals that Gibson is genetic proof of a link between man and extra terrestrials. As the Cigarette Smoking Man executes his plan, killing the assassin and kidnapping Gibson to deliver to the Syndicate. Mulder's case seems lost and the very existence of the X-files comes under scrutiny. A cause further damaged by a fire in the X-files basement office that threatens to put an end to the X-files for good.
