MULDER AND SCULLY ANALYZE A SERIES OF MURDERS THAT LOOK AS IF THEY WERE COMMITTED BY A MAN WHO KILLS THROUGH DREAMS.

A prominent doctor calls 911 to report his apartment on fire; firemen later find him dead and the apartment untouched. Mulder investigates, curious about a delusion so strong it can kill. A new informant helps Mulder and Scully uncover a government conspiracy, dating back to the Vietnam War, to create the perfect soldier -- one who never sleeps. But the side effects of this sleepless state seem to indicate a psychic ability to project waking dreams into the consciousness of others.

Mulder must not only track down a murderer who never sleeps, but battle the insidious forces working against him within the Bureau --including perhaps his new partner.

Krycek: "I paid off your cab. I don't appreciate being ditched like somebody's bad date."

Mulder: "Sorry if I hurt your feelings."

Krycek: "Where do you get off copping this attitude? I mean, you don't know the first thing about me."

Mulder: "Exactly."

Krycek: "You know, back at the academy, some of the guys used to make fun of you."

Mulder: "Oh, stop it, or you're going to hurt my feelings."

Mulder: "What's this scar right here?"

Krycek: "According to his medical history, the only surgery he ever had was an appendectomy."

Mulder: "Well, unless they got to his appendix through his neck..."

Scully: "I'm going over the reports you faxed me. They're incredible."

Mulder: "The military already sent troops through radioactive mushroom clouds. I guess they figured they had to top themselves, right?"

Scully: "Even if you're right, you'll have a much better chance of finding Cole if you work up a profile and try and surmise his next move."

Mulder: "Alright, I'll sharpen my pencils and I'll see you later..."

Scully: "Sounds like your new partner's working out."

Mulder: "He's alright. He could use a little more seasoning and some, uh, wardrobe advice. But he's a lot more open to extreme possibilities than..."

Scully: "...than I was?"

Mulder: "Than I assumed he would be."

Scully: "Must be nice not having someone questioning your every move, poking holes in all your theories?"

Mulder: "Oh oh, yeah... i-i-it's great, a-ah I'm surprised I put up with you so long..." (long and kinda sad pause)

Scully: "You better go..."

Mulder: "Alright, what do you want to know?"

Krycek: "Just the truth. You know there's things you're not telling me that I need to know."

Mulder: "It's just that my ideas usually aren't very popular."
