In the port city Ardis, Maryland, police after a long chase drive the offender's car to a standstill. Having a stiff resistance, the driver, Dr. William Secare, jumping in the water being shot from a gun and leaves behind him on the pier, traces of green liquid.

On a tip from Deep Throat, Mulder receives information about the pursuit and began an investigation. Along with Scully, he visits the laboratory of Dr. Terrance Berube, whose car was trying to escape Secure. That night Deep Throat meets with Mulder for the second time and insists that the investigation was continued. That night in the lab Berube comes with a short haircut and kills the scientist, faking a suicide.

During inspection of the scene, Mulder finds an Erlenmeyer with a dark-red liquid and the label "purity Control". Scully takes the flask to Georgetown University, where microbiologist Anne carpenter analyzes the contents of the vessel. Mulder, searching the office Berube, discovers the keys to the warehouse. At this time Secure three days hiding under the water, calling Berube and takes Mulder for his friend. Agent, not knowing that the conversation listens to the man with the short hair, trying to find the location of Secure, but he loses consciousness due to severe injuries, and the random passer-by calls an Ambulance. During attempts to assist the wounded, doctors lose consciousness, as after the introduction of needle decompression of the chest Secare escapes of toxic gas. He Secure, waking, escapes.

Finding out the location of the warehouse in the footsteps of phone calls Berube, Mulder discovers within six large aquariums, five of which are live connected devices to unknown people, and the sixth empty. Dr. carpenter tells Scully that the flask contains a sample of naturally-occurring bacteria, which can only be of extraterrestrial origin. At the exit from the warehouse Mulder faces prosecution, but he manages to escape. The next day Mulder brings Scully to the warehouse, but he turns out to be completely empty. Agents meets Deep Throat and disclose information about the experiments in an extraterrestrial virus that Berube is spent on terminally ill people. The volunteers recovered, but Berube became aware of the intentions to destroy them, and he helped Secure to escape.

Scully returns to Georgetown University and finds out that Dr. carpenter and her entire family died in a car accident. Mulder finds Secare in the attic of Berube, but watching him man with short hair Secure kills and kidnaps the unconscious by poison gas Mulder. Deep Throat comes on to Scully and replace Mulder on the embryo of the alien Scully to be strictly guarded research center. However, after receiving an embryo, a man with a short haircut kills Deep Throat in front of Scully and hiding, throwing half-dead Mulder from the van. Before the death of Deep Throat, turning to Scully utters his last words: "trust No one".

Several weeks later, the depressed Mulder calls Scully to inform the Department for the investigation of "Secret materials" is closed. Meanwhile, the Smoker places the embryo of a stranger, Scully produced, in a large store, located in the heart of the Pentagon.
