Plot:
A research scientist is trapped in a wind tunnel and sucked into a giant experimental turbine, the first of two bizarre murders whose only link is either a mentally handicapped man or a dead one. Alerted by handwriting analysis and research into the victims' backgrounds, Mulder and Scully discover an old secret that links twins separated at an early age, genetic mutation and the possible survival of a mind after the death of the body. When the last surviving researcher is caught in a fatal trap, Mulder and Scully must act on their instincts to call back the mind of a dead man in his living brother.
My Rating: 7/10
Notable Quotable:
Mulder: "How was the wedding?"
Scully: "You mean the part where the groom passed out or the dog bit the drummer?"
Mulder: "Did you catch the bouquet?
Scully: "Maybe."
Mulder: "There is definitely something unexplainable here, Scully, but not unidentifiable."
