[edit] Background Information

[edit] Introductory Details

• Fox Mulder does not appear in this episode, but actor David Duchovny gives a voice performance, when the Lone Gunmen use voice editing software in order to phone Scully.

[edit] Locations

• Def Con '99, Las Vegas, Nevada.
• Clark County Morgue.

[edit] Memorable Quotes

• "In my medical opinion, beeeeeeeep" *claps hands* - Dana Scully's intoxicated explanation for Jimmy Belmont's cause of death, jumping in front of a moving bus.

[edit] Cultural References

• Frohike asks the bouncer if he wants to "Thunderdome", a reference to the "Mad Max" films.
• Scully refers to the Gunmen as "The Three Stooges".
• Langly wears Motorhead and Snoozonica T-Shirts.

[edit] Other Episode Notes

• Jimmy states that he will have front row access to the unveiling of a new stealth assassination technology. This becomes vaguely prophetic when he becomes the first known victim of that same technology.

• The Lone Gunmen contact Scully as they need someone with authority to help with their investigation, but believe Mulder would be too well known to those in attendance.

[edit] Continuity

• This episode continues the storyline of Susanne Modeski trying to fight the government's development of mind control technology, first seen in "Unusual Suspects".

• After being injected, a drugged Scully is surrounded by a group of government suitors. One of these suitors is Morris Fletcher, who offers her a Morley cigarette. As Frohike drags her away, she gives Fletcher a smack on the butt, a throw back to Fletcher having smacked her on the butt when he traded bodies with Mulder in "Dreamland" and "Dreamland II".
