an anonymous, audio-taped manifesto, on which a man threatens
to commit a violent act. As a result, the company wishes to have
the threat investigated. Mulder is puzzled as to why Skinner
is sending he and Scully to investigate. Skinner then explains
that the maker of the tape spoke of a monster threatening employees.

labeling himself "Monster Boy."

5X20 The
End 05/17/98 DIRECTED BY: R.W. GOODWIN
WRITTEN BY: CHRIS CARTER
A Boy posessing psychic powers
may hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the X-files.
Inside a sports arena, two chess masters, a Russian man and an
odd-looking 12-year-old boy named Gibson Praise, engage in a
battle of the minds as an audience sits in reverential silence.
High above the crowd, on a catwalk overhanging the arena, a sniper
aims his rifle towards the back of the child's head. As the gunman
slowly squeezes the trigger, the little boy announces "checkmate,"
and slides back in his chair. A gunshot rings out... and the
Russian falls to the floor, dead.
Meanwhile,
two armed, masked figures close in on the cabin where the Cigarette-Smoking
Man has holed up. A sensor alerts the Cigarette-Smoking Man to
their presence, and he manages to kill one of them before making
his escape into the woods. The second masked gunman gets the
drop on his prey... and reveals himself as Alex Krycek.
The case was assigned to Agent Spender,
who specified that Mulder be excluded from the investigation.
Despite this, Mulder and Skinner crash Spender's briefing. While
viewing videotape of the assassination, Mulder reaches the conclusion
that the shooter's target was Gibson--not the Russian--as the
boy reacted in an almost precognitive fashion moments before
the shot rang out. Spender disagrees with the theory. Agent Diana
Fowley, an attractive woman in her thirties, opines that Mulder
is correct. Spender rewinds the tape... and forms the same conclusion.
The Cigarette-Smoking Man meets with
the Syndicate Elders. Labeling Gibson a threat, they ask for
the Cigarette-Smoking Man's help in orchestrating his elimination.
Mulder,
Scully and Diana Fowley visit Gibson inside a psychiatric hospital.
The boy declines Mulder's invitation to match wits against a
cheap chess computer... giving credence to Mulder's suspicion
that the boy is not a chess master, but a mind reader. Tests
on the child's brain reveal that Gibson is, indeed, clairvoyant.
Later, Mulder visits the shooter in his cell. He offers him immunity
from prosecution in exchange for his cooperation.
Scully cannot help but notice chemistry
between Mulder and Fowley. She pays the Lone Gunman an unexpected
visit. She gives them data from the tests performed on Gibson,
and asks that it be analyzed. Scully also asks for information
on Diana Fowley. The three men confirm that she and Mulder were
an item back when Mulder graduated from the Academy and first
discovered the existence of the X-Files. Scully returns to the
psychiatric hospital intending to show Mulder the data she has
accumulated. But when she approaches the observation room, she
notices Mulder and Diana inside... and Diana holding Mulder's
hand. Scully, a confusion of emotions, both personal and professional,
leaves the hospital. When Mulder enters the
hospital's parking garage
to retrieve his car, he notices Spender talking to the Cigarette-Smoking
Man. Mulder pushes Spender hard in the chest, demanding to know
his business. Spender explains that he does not know the identity
of the mysterious man. He then reveals that the shooter wishes
to speak with Mulder.
Scully meets
with Skinner and Mulder to reveal the results of the psychiatric
tests on Gibson. It turns out that an area of the child's brain,
dubbed the "God Module" by neurophysicists, exhibits
extraordinary activity. Mulder believes the child's life is in
danger because of his gift, as it might be the key to solving
the unexplained phenomena contained within the X-Files. He also
suspects that the assassin holds the key to the vast conspiracy
working against him. Skinner points out that the very existence
of the X-Files would be put at risk if he asks the Attorney General
to grant immunity to the assassin.
The Cigarette-Smoking Man puts his plan
in motion. The assassin is murdered inside his cell. Shortly
thereafter, a bullet strikes Fowley as she stands watch over
Gibson. The Cigarette-Smoking Man delivers the child to the Well-Manicured
Man and Krycek.
That night, the Cigarette-Smoking Man
sneaks into Mulder's office and steals a file on Samantha Mulder.
He then addresses Spender face-to-face. He informs him that he
is his father. Suddenly, a fire alarm sounds and agents make
their way into the hallway. The Cigarette-Smoking Man disappears
into the crowd.
