"X-Files" - "Folie a Deux" II Trivia Quiz

Answer: yes

Gary was about to shoot Pincus on camera, and Mulder stepped between them to stop it. Then the lights went out. As the three men stood there, Gary told Mulder to look behind him at Pincus. When he did, Mulder saw the monster instead. Just then, the FBI assault vehicle broke through the wall and the SWAT team shot Gary.

Answer: Helsinki Syndrome

Helsinki Syndrome was what a terrorist analyst in 1988's "Die Hard" referred to mistakenly. The actual name of the condition is "Stockholm Syndrome", which is where hostages start to identify and sympathize with their captors. Mulder insisted that what he saw "was real, and there may be a way to prove it." Scully was very dubious, though, and refused to do an autopsy on Backus' body based on Gary's claims.

Answer: Pincus

Rice, of course, had never seen the woman, and was becoming more and more concerned by Mulder's erratic behavior.

Answer: external exam

Scully was annoyed that Mulder had sent the body to Quantico for an autopsy after she had said she wouldn't do it. As protest, she was only going to take pictures of the body and do an external exam.

Answer: liver temperature

As he took pictures of the body, he said, "Judging from the corpse's resolved rigor and fixed lividity as well as the decompositional bloating I'd place the time of death between 48 and 72 hours." Scully corrected him, saying that Backus had just died the previous afternoon, but the lab worker insisted that the body looked like it had been dead for longer.

Answer: watching TV

Starns was sitting on her couch staring straight ahead as Mulder saw the monster behind her, seemingly doing something to her neck. Mulder broke her window and ran to the front of the house, chasing the monster. He was too late to save Starns, though, and the next morning she was a zombie under the control of Pincus.

Answer: in a hospital

After he tried to draw his weapon on Pincus in front of Skinner, Mulder was committed to a hospital. When Scully arrived, she took his hand and Mulder quipped weakly, "Five years together, Scully. You must have seen this coming."

Answer: one in five billion

Mulder was obviously feeling desperate, which was only intensified when he saw that Scully didn't believe him. He knew that she was the only person on earth who would ever have faith in a claim like the one he was making and he needed her support. The appeal was enough to get her to go reexamine Backus' body, and she found puncture wounds on the back of his neck, just as Mulder said she would.

Answer: opened window

Mulder was tied to the bed, basically a sitting duck waiting to be attacked. When he saw the shadows from the monster at the window, he screamed until the nurse came and asked to be untied. She wouldn't untie him, but did open the window, telling him ominously that he just needed "some fresh air."

Answer: Scully

Scully saw that the nurse was a zombie and rushed into Mulder's room in time to shoot the monster and save Mulder. Of course, when she later had to report to Skinner, she said she hadn't really gotten a look at the intruder and that Mulder had been suffering Folie A Deux.
