12'''Scully:''' Am I to understand that you want me to debunk the X-Files project, sir?

14The FBI assigns Agent Dana Scully to work with a fellow agent and conspiracy theorist, Fox Mulder. He solves what is called the X-Files, ignored mysteries whose answers mostly defy any kind of scientific explanation. The two get along somewhat swimmingly, as they hunt for what lies beyond the unknown. Whether it's humans with untold abilities, supernatural phenomena... and the first possible pieces of evidence about extraterrestrial beings, something that higher-ups refuse to disclose through any means possible, legal or not.

48Ever since Mulder and Scully's discovery of a top-secret alien fetus and the death of a close government informant, the X-Files have been shut down, leaving the two in different jobs. With Mulder as a meager telephone tapper and Scully teaching at Quantico's FBI academy, the two do their best to continue their hunt for the hidden truth. However, their journey becomes increasingly fraught with deadlier monsters, morally ambiguous foes, as well as their own growing paranoia. And in the shadows, the machinations of an elderly chain-smoker lurk over the two, whose power matches his grasp on the reality of extraterrestrials.

83Already in possession of potentially groundbreaking information, Mulder and Scully find themselves hunted by not only the government, but also the Cigarette Smoking Man and his sinister, anonymous group. This leads the two to certain moments in human history that may carry more startling truths behind experimentation on humans... or aliens. With their losses rising, and their lives being in more danger than before, the F.B.I. agents must be wary of who they can trust, and the glimmers of salvation they find, dead or alive.

117Hot on the heels of evading a bounty hunter sent to kill a mysterious healer, Mulder and Scully remain resolute in their search for the Syndicate's bigger picture, whether it's virus-infected bees, mysterious experiments from Russian camps or unexplained plane incidents. However, Mulder's faith in the extraterrestrial becomes questioned at every turn, complicating some of the cases he embarks on and endangering anyone close to him. Things get worse when a cancer diagnosis comes into the fray, along with a final revelation potentially bringing life-threatening consequences...

152Mulder cannot believe in aliens anymore. Scully doesn't have long to live due to her cancer. Yet the two must not only find a concrete cure, but also expose the actions of the Syndicate, who will do anything to maintain the false normality of the world. Because of this, they must watch their step at every case they open up, ringing true in the face of people holding the power of nature in their hands, faceless pyromaniacs, and abductions of special children. Failure to do so could mean that everything Mulder and Scully have worked for goes up in flames.

183Mulder and Scully have once again lost the X-Files, [[Recap/TheXFilesS05E20TheEnd due to their office being reduced to ash by the Cigarette-Smoking Man]]. But their investigations have not ended yet, after a Dallas federal building bombing brings the two FBI agents to the discovery that it was a cover-up for something bigger. Namely, that the Syndicate is continuing their work on a vaccine to combat a sentient black liquid. When their continued pursuit for answers puts Scully's job and life at risk, Mulder must not only save her from any threat that needs her for their expanding plans, but also consider if the truth is worth fighting for.

Despite this change in profession, Mulder and Scully still do their best to stop supernatural threats harming the innocent, while the Syndicate's ever-growing collaborations with the extraterrestrial comes to a shocking end. But as one chapter closes, another will open that will forever change the fabric of religion, science, humanity... and sanity.

226An unknown, submerged alien spaceship leads to many changes to Mulder's and Scully's life. The former has become comatose, due to untapped extra-sensory potential that makes him a target for the Cigarette-Smoking Man. The ensuing meeting eventually leads Mulder to resolve longstanding family issues. The latter, however, has her scientific mindset challenged by the ship's encrypted information, driving Scully to discover what she wants now and for the rest of her life. But the FBI agents' new victories and solved cases cannot last long, as the case that brought them together resurfaces... to do the exact opposite.

258Aliens have abducted Mulder for their own experiments, leading the entire FBI to try and find him alive. But with the X-Files having one less person, a new agent takes the abductee's place: John Doggett, a former New York cop who couldn't care less about the extramundane. Through a gradual building of trust with the new recruit, Scully begins to broaden her scientific mindset and embrace Mulder's ideology, while hiding her new surprise arrival. But eventually, a search must have an end, and everything will not remain the same as it was.

289Doggett and his friend, Monica Reyes, have now become the new keepers of the X-Files, while Scully has gone back to being a FBI academy teacher. But for Mulder, he has unexpectedly gone into the shadows once more, due to the lingering threat of the Super Soldiers, human look-alikes with untold levels of invincibility. Their presence leads to unexpected displays of supernatural power from Scully's "miracle child", William. As a result, Scully must do whatever it takes to protect her son, while holding out hope for Mulder's return... even if such a miracle may prove devastating to her and everyone she holds dear.

330Mulder and Scully have gone their separate ways [[Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve after closing an illegal organ donor case eight years ago]].

346Scully has seen the succumbing of America through a viral apocalypse, as well as the means to prevent this: by finding the son she gave away for adoption 17 years ago, William. Unfortunately, she and Mulder are not alone in their search. The Cigarette-Smoking Man and Monica are dead-set on murdering the boy and reinforcing their victory through their contagion possibly wiping out millions. And a new, splinter faction from the long-gone Syndicate stands against the two parties, intent on reaching the stars through the kid's unknown abilities. The race will drive home one harsh truth: each group may not like the answers they find.
