"Trust No 1" is the sixth episode of the ninth season of the American science fiction television series ''The X-Files''. It premiered on the Fox network on . The episode was written by series creator Chris Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz, and directed by Tony Wharmby. "Trust No 1" helps to explore the series' overarching mythology. The episode received a Nielsen household rating of 5.1 and was viewed by 8.4 million viewers; it garnered mixed to negative reviews from television critics, with many feeling that it portrayed the series' characters in a way that was unfaithful to the show's history. The show centers on FBI special agents who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files; this season focuses on the investigations of John Doggett (Robert Patrick), Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). In this episode, Scully is hopeful about reuniting with her former partner, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) when a complete stranger offers new information about what drove him into hiding. Yet her trust in the stranger may place Mulder in even more danger, for the man turns out to be a super soldier. "Trust No 1" features former leading star Duchovny via the use of previously filmed footage. It was written in response to fans who felt that, during season eight, Mulder's abduction was not dealt with until his miraculous return in "This is Not Happening"/"Deadalive". Actor Terry O'Quinn, who appears in this episode as the Shadow Man, had appeared as different characters in the second season episode "Aubrey" and the 1998 feature film. The tagline for the episode is "They're Watching." ==Plot== Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is approached by a couple, whose infant apparently shows the same strange abilities as William. The father has discovered that their infant was part of the government's “Super Soldier” project and begs her to call Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) out of hiding in order to give him this information. John Doggett (Robert Patrick) and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) confirm that the couple's story matches with what is known about the Super Soldiers. Initially, Doggett encourages Scully to contact Mulder. Scully, fearful for Mulder's safety, falsely claims not to know his whereabouts. All the while, she absently touches a printout of an email that Mulder sent her earlier. Later, Scully sees the infant's mother, Patti, arguing with her husband, who then drives off. Scully lets her stay with her. Meanwhile, Doggett and Reyes stake out the location where Doggett traced a tipster's call to his cell phone. They see Patti's husband walk inside the apparently abandoned building. Inside, the Shadow Man (Terry O'Quinn) monitors Scully through surveillance. The next morning, Patti turns off the baby monitor and removes William from his crib. Scully confronts Patti with her gun; Patti sets William down. Just then, Patti's husband attempts to pick Scully's lock, but is stopped by Doggett and Reyes. The husband reveals to Scully that he works for the NSA and has no name; Patti says their daughter is just like William, and they only want to keep both children safe. The Shadow Man calls Scully and explains that he has been watching her for quite some time, and tells her that she has one day to contact Mulder or else he will disappear with a list of the Super Soldiers' identities. Scully finally gives in and contacts Mulder; she tells Doggett that they had worked out a system that, if Mulder was to return, he would be arriving by train. Reyes, Doggett, and the NSA agent cover Scully at the train station. However, as the train pulls up, the Shadow Man appears and guns down the agent before approaching Scully. Before the Shadow Man can kill her, Doggett appears and shoots him twice, sending him falling onto the train tracks where the train seemingly runs over him without stopping. While Scully consoles Patti, Doggett reports that he cannot find the Shadow Man's body. Scully, fearful that he is a Super Soldier pursuing Mulder, chases after the train with Doggett and Reyes. They get a call saying that someone jumped off a train and into a rock quarry. Doggett and Reyes chase after someone they believe to be Mulder, while Scully goes deeper into the quarry. There, she is attacked by the Shadow Man. Suddenly, the Shadow Man is destroyed by the magnetite being mined from the quarry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trust No 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
