9X15 Jump the Shark
When former Area 51 employee Morris Fletcher gets in to trouble with a client he was scamming, he calls on the X-files team for protection in return for information.
Doggett and Reyes are less than impressed with him, until he claims to be able to help them catch a super solider.
They approach the Lone Gunman for assistance in tracking down the suspect super solider, a woman who is known to the Lone Gunman. Yves Adele Harlow
a former acquaintance who disappeared, they dispute that she is a super solider and question the
source of the information. When they find out it is Morris Fletcher, whom they have also encountered before, they
tell Doggett and Reyes his lies can not be trusted.
However when a former associate of the Lone Gunman, Jimmy Bond turns up, having trailed Yves around the world. With news that Yves
killed Professor Houghton, a prominent immunologist in New Jersey, they join forces to track her down.
Doggett and Reyes talk to the pathologist who autopsied Professor Houghton, determining he was killed with a poisoned pellet and that the incision in his chest
occured post mortem. His chest showed signs of previous surgery, but unlike any conventional surgery. Cartilage had been grafted in to his body,
which appeared to have held something inside. They confront Morris Fletcher who claims no knowledge of Yves's activities.
The Lone Gunman track Yves’s car using traffic cameras and confront her at the Hotel Farragut. She convinces them that she
is not a super solider. She is hunting down sleeper agents with a deadly viral agent implanted in their bodies,
to target scientist vital to America’s anti-biological terrorism project at their convention. And she needs their help to stop them.
Noteworthy Quote
Morris Fletcher: "Langly said to me the ones who never give up, they never die.
I still don't know what that means."
Scully: "That means that like everyone buried here, the world is a better place
for them having been in it. It means that they're gone, but they live on
through us all."
