Nollett wants to start testing of the engine, and Surnow not want to risk and ruin the prototype. Kitts and Nollett go evil, and Surnow left to continue his mathematical calculations. It comes in a wind tunnel to do some clarification. At this time in the control room is Roland: it includes a turbine, which sucks Surnow, and he dies.

Studying the death of Grable, the agents find out that he had hired Roland. They think that Grable faked his death and is now killing his former colleagues, using Roland as cover.

Mulder finds a photo of Grable, and it becomes clear that he looks very similar to Roland. This leads agents to opening: Arthur Grable and Roland are twins. When Mulder and Scully are talking again with Roland, Mulder begins to make sure that the cleaner is under the mind control of Grable.
Meanwhile Nollett stealthily penetrates into the cryogenic lab and spoils the urn containing the remains of Arthur's enemy. He returned to the Institute, and proceeds to launch a prototype of the engine, when there is Roland. Nollett confesses that he has stolen the work of Grable and almost ready to shoot Roland, intending to play the self-defense. But he hits his computer keyboard, depriving of consciousness, and places in a wind tunnel. The agents arrive just in time to convince Roland not to kill Nollette.
