Episode 24 "The Erlenmeyer Flask" (Written by Chris Carter, Directed by R.W. Goodwin)

A seemingly unrelated car chase leads Mulder and Scully to a scientific lab encompassing a secret which could provide proof of a government conspiracy. However, individuals involved with the scientific experiment are being murdered, and the two agents must ensure their own safety. The two come across a flask containing strange DNA particles. All living things are built up of a string of four different DNA cells, but this flask contains both a fifth and a sixth. Scully and Mulder believe that this could be firm evidence of extra-terrestrial life forms. Scully also finds a small head sized alien - which changes her beliefs completely. At the end of this episode, the X-Files project is aborted.
