The first episode is the resolution of a cliffhanger where Mulder is trapped inside a buried railroad car with the corpses of aliens. The Cigarette-Smoking man orders a soldier to toss a firebomb into the car and it goes off. The soldiers and the Cigarette-Smoking man then depart in a helicopter. This leads Scully to believe that Mulder is dead.
However, he is not. In a manner that is never explained, Mulder has escaped from the car and is found by a group of Navahos under a pile of rocks. They use their ancient healing techniques to save his life. Scully then goes back to Washington where the members of a shadowy group are still desperately searching for the data tapes containing information on alien visitations. The data is encoded using an encryption technique similar to the code-talker format used so successfully in World War II. Information is written in a modified form of the Navaho language, known to few people outside the Navaho tribes and hence unbreakable by others. Scully has been warned that someone she trusts will try to kill her and when she meets with Skinner, they both draw their guns on each other.
The second episode is a continuation of the first, Mulder appears and together with Scully they pursue additional information about ghastly experiments conducted by ex-Nazi scientists. There are further revelations about this shadowy group that Mulder's father was a member of. At the end, Skinner uses the stolen data tape to successfully bargain with the Cigarette-Smoking man for the lives and careers of Mulder and Scully. Their position is further enhanced by the revelation that many members of the Navaho tribes have memorized the data on the stolen tapes.
The lack of an explanation as to how Mulder was able to survive the firebombing cast a pall over the beginning of the first episode. Even if the explanation was weak, without one, the series degenerates to one where any difficult circumstance can be resolved by simply having them appear free of the problem. After this, the complexities seem to convolute, as Scully and Mulder get in deeper against their ruthless adversaries. Their opponents seem efficient at everything except when they try to move against Mulder and Scully, in those cases they degenerate into hopeless incompetents. Even to the point where they accidentally shoot Scully's sister. After a few of these capers, I started to lose interest.

Probably the most awaited season of all. At the end of the season before nobody could wait to see if Fox was dead or what. Those navajo indians in the show gave it a nice twist. A must see for a true X-FILE avid watcher.

I have nothing else to say other than it was a brilliant double but that the first episode could have been included too.

In my opinion the most anxiously awaited season of all. I could barely wait to find out what was going to happen to"Spooky." I found that those navajo indians in these episodes put a nice twist to the show. A must see.

5 stars isnt enough for this movie, i would give is 10 stars. this the best episode ever. it is perfect. I think david Duchovny is perfect for the part of mulder. he is so HOT!!!!!! The Indians do add a great twist to it. this video is a must.

If uve seen Anazi these two episods will show u all the trouble Mulder goes through to find the truth about his gfather being shot. But does agent Dana Katherine Scully turn on mulder, and shoot him or dsoes she?
