MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: At the end of the episode (runtime 38:54), during Mulder's fight with Mr. X in the parking garage, you can clearly catch several glimpses of a coat or a jacket in the right edge of the frame as the camera follows their movements rapidly from side to side, obviously belonging to a crew member (likely a sound technician or a second cameraman) just barely failing to stay out of the picture as the two actors wrestle. The garage is at that point supposedly empty apart from the two fighting characters, and there is no other possible explanation.

TRIVIA

The Cigarette-Smoking Man's line "Anyone who can appease a man's conscience can take his freedom away" is taken from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel, "The Brothers Karamazov".
Another reference to Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel, "The Brothers Karamazov": the name of the fast food restaurant is "Brothers K".
