Scully persuades Mulder to help the FBI find a missing agent. A psychic pedophile priest leads them to body parts hidden under the ice of a snowy West Virginia lake. When the trail goes cold Scully wants him to leave the case so she can deal with her own problems involving a cute kid with a brain disease. He refuses and she contemplates leaving him. I didn't realize they were a couple until well into the movie. Well, Mulder eventually stumbles onto the truth, without the help of the priest, which involves an old horror plot device: experiments with head transplants. So essentially we've got a B-movie spruced up with modern settings and slick photography; fun, but it takes itself far, far too seriously.
