Mulder, on the other hand, has become something of a recluse and is bitter toward the way the FBI treated him, but he hasn't given up believing in the unbelievable. Which is good because FBI special agent Dakota Whitney (AMANDA PEET), along with her skeptical subordinate, Mosley Drummy (ALVIN "XZIBIT" JOINER), have recruited Scully to find Mulder.
And that's because one of their agents has gone missing, and an excommunicated, pedophile-convicted priest, Father Joseph Crissman (BILLY CONNOLLY), is having visions he believes will lead them to her. They don't, but a buried severed arm is discovered, and Dakota believes that Mulder is the only person who might be able to figure out the troubled priest and whether he truly has paranormal abilities or is just toying with the authorities.
Accordingly, he and Scully pair up again as partners, albeit reluctantly due to his anger toward the agency and her desire not to delve into the dark matters of the world once again. With Russians Janke Dacyshyn (CALLUM KEITH RENNIE) and Franz Tomczeszyn (FAGIN WOODCOCK) kidnapping various people, Mulder and Scully race against time to decipher Father Joseph's visions before it's too late for the missing FBI agent and the others who've been abducted.
Violence consists of a person being pushed down a shaft to their death, some fighting, two car wrecks, some dog attacks, and the abduction and off-screen dismemberment of people for their external body parts. Some of that has bloody results, and that violence, various moments of potential peril and various visuals (including severed heads, an arm, a dog's head, etc.) might be unsettling and/or suspenseful to viewers, particularly younger ones.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, tense family material is present, and a character smokes a few times.
