“They’re gonna take Duane Barry.” 

Mulder is called in to assist in a hostage negotiation because the perp (*snicker*) claims to be an alien abductee. While Mulder tries to talk him into releasing the hostages, Scully does research into his past to figure out who the suspect really is and what his motivations might be. 

Spoiler: It *might* be aliens...
