Hoe did Crycek get out of the silo from Apocrypha?

Didn't those crooks he teamed up with discover him and let him out?

No, the terrorist leader said he came to them. Most likely, Cancerman let him out. There's more evidence that Cancerman and Krycek are still in cahoots at this point. Cancerman tells WMM that someone matching Mulder's description was spotted flying to Russia, but made no mention of his travelling companion, who probably would have been observed too. So either they are still working together, or Cancerman has some other motive in keeping that info under his hat.

Wait - but Crycek hates CSM. remember the scene in Paper Clip? and the one in THE END ? both times Crycek and Cancer man are alone ( or talking as if they're alone) and tell each other that they hate each other.

I thought that the Russians took him out, but if that's that case, Why would they wanna do that? And what happened to the UFO from Apocrypha?

btw - I haven't seen season 6 yet, so don't spoil with references to it ok?

Also, why did Crycek go to Mulder and Scully in the first place?

I know, that's why I said "at that point"- they must have reconcilled sometime and then had a falling-out afterwards. No, I don't really buy that, but it does fit.

the point being , they must have reconciled AND become enemies within a year and a half, now there's a record for you

My, oh my, Dulles International Airport looks a lot like Vancouver International - exactly the same, in fact. I might add that, when that guy gets thrown off the roof of the building, the skyline is obviously Vancouver's.

Maybe Dulles International Airport and Vancouver International were built by the same people?

Interesting that Krycek chooses to cuss Mulder in Russian when Mulder wants to leave him in the car at the airport, when he's been talking English all the time before (did he ever have an accent that hinted he was a foreigner? Wouldn't that have made it difficult for him to join the patriot group?)
Or does he not know how to curse in English? (Of course, if he had cursed in english, Mulder wouldn't have taken him along... HRTS!)

For that matter, did Mulder really think everybody in Georgia / Russia speaks english, that he doesn't need a translator for his trip? (A bit of ethnic arrogance?) Or did he plan on hiring the next english speaker off the street once he arrived?

If Marita C. arranged the travel and visa stuff for Mulder, it's sure lucky that she arranged for Krycek, too, before Mulder had decided to take him along.

Or is it not H/S RTS, but Mulder planned on taking Krycek with him all along, and just wanted to give him a good scare??

I have a bit of a hard time believing that Krycek, hanging by one hand, can manage to pull the intruder off the balcony, since the intruder's navel (roughly the point of weight balance) seems to be below the railing (an OSHA regulation to prevent people from falling).

Since the apartment complex has at least 17 floors, why is Skinner worried that the police wants to talk to all people there? (Would the police really go to that much trouble?) How would the police know the man fell from Skinners balcony, and not any other on the same floor, or even a different floor? Given that he's FBI, wouldn't he be above suspicion compared to the rest? (Probably Skinner just called them because after CSM had threatened him, he wanted to know about the diplomatic pouch?)

I still don't understand why the scientist at the space center was infected with the black oil wormies inside his suit, even though there's no visible breach; esp. since Scully and Pendrell in their suits escape that fate (not that I would want Scully to be infected... but it sure is lucky that she leads a charmed life!)

If anyone's got this episode on DVD, then zoom in and freeze-frame the passport that's stamped immediately after the titles: the date reads Oct 3 1996! This contradicts Mulder's watch's date (Nov 25).

Right, the opening segment in Honolulu.

This courier is bringing samples of the black oil into the US for The Consortium. So why doesn't he have the papers required to get through customs without any form of checks, random or otherwise, or why don't they land him at somewhere one of The Consortium's agents is working.

Did The Fairies of Out There change his travel plans or put a different customs officer on duty

John-Boy: Maybe Dulles International Airport and Vancouver International were built by the same people?
In case you didn't find out by now no, they weren't built by the same people. I don't think I've seen an airport even close to how Dulles looks. About that scene during the trailer, I used to work for customs and although we don't normally treat people with diplomatic visas that way I thought that whole scene was pretty funny! However, if anybody is carrying biological samples they will need paperwork, even diplomats, and the officer won't just open such samples since he/she doesn't know what it is without documentation or labels.

constance: If Marita C. arranged the travel and visa stuff for Mulder, it's sure lucky that she arranged for Krycek, too, before Mulder had decided to take him along.
Maybe, since Krycek isn't all what he seems and sort of works for the Syndicate, he already has appropriate passport or visa.

constanze: I still don't understand why the scientist at the space center was infected with the black oil wormies inside his suit, even though there's no visible breach
It's been shown several times that these things don't need/make openings to get into something/someone. The French diver, out of the CO of the Zeus Faber, from Krycek back into its ship, the customs officer, the scientist... There might be more examples but those are the ones that come to mind.

Me: we don't normally treat people with diplomatic visas that way [...] if anybody is carrying biological samples they will need paperwork, even diplomats...
Adding to this (after rewatching of course), the guy in HI was an American, so not only does he not have any diplomatic authority in the US as a citizen but also Mulder was incorrect in saying he had a diplomatic US visa since he doesn't need one. On the other hand, his briefcase would be off-limits, if he had at least some paperwork for it that is.

Speaking of diplomatic pouches, why was the pouch coming into Dulles not locked, as most diplomatic pouches are, and why was that fragment inside of it not wrapped in anything? Also, this fragment was a rock right? So why was the scientist cutting into it with a saw, like one may with a piece of wood, and not a chisel or drill?

constanze: did [Krycek] ever have an accent that hinted he was a foreigner? Wouldn't that have made it difficult for him to join the patriot group?
No, I don't believe he did; and probably if he either wasn't a skilled operative or the liklihood that he's had most of his life to perfect his English, effectively hiding his Slovik roots.

Why were Mulder and Scully suited up with the raiding party? They aren't part of a tactical team and just because they were acting on tips Mulder was receiving it wouldn't be necessary for them to don all that gear.

Two more things: Scully says the stuff inside the fragment is lethal and is later surprised to find the doctor still alive. Well, the guys is still standing isn't he? Also, Scully takes agent Pendrell into this laboratory even though this isn't his field of expertese; his is more the technological side of science.
