FBI raid! No, not FBI panty raid. That's season 7. A bunch of guys in FBI jackets assemble in a parking garage with Lauren, Mulder and Scully. Gillian takes a deep, deep breath and launches into her forty-seventh take of hollering at everyone about what they're looking for: "evidence pertaining to the sale of restricted manufactured parts," essentially. Really, I remember an interview with Gillian where she said she could NOT get this scene because she was too freaked out to yell at everybody like she was in charge. Thankfully, Man Suit, standing beside her, continues, saying they should be careful not to take anything they shouldn't because they've been working on this investigation for quite some time and they would prefer these goons not screw it up. "OK, LET'S GO!" Scully says at the end for good measure. Everyone heads off, and Scully reminds Lauren that whatever they're looking for will most likely be in Dorlund's office, so they need Lauren to guide them.

RAID! Really this time. That was just the pre-raid. The fibbies start tearing the place apart, and Scully and Lauren walk stonily past Dorlund into his office.

Cut to some time later. They haven't found anything, and Dorlund is looking cool as an evil, baby-eating cucumber. "Our case is BLOWN," bitches Man Suit. "We've wasted a year." He and Woman Suit stomp off. Mulder goes into Dorlund's office and says they have to go. Scully heads out (sigh...of course she does) with a box of stuff, but Lauren's still searching, breaking shit and looking inside picture frames and stuff. Dorlund yells that Lauren's not an agent and has no right to break his personal property. "What about that van that blew up and killed those servicemen?" Lauren snaps back. "I don't know what you're talking about, you stupid BITCH!" says Dorlund, and Lauren lunges for him with a pointy letter opener. Mulder shouts and tries to restrain her, but we all know who's going to jump in here, don't we? Sure enough, Dorlund's slammed against the wall, and he starts choking, grasping at his neck. Lauren shouts, "Don't kill him! Help us find it!" Dorlund falls to the floor, and lights start exploding.

Out in the main office, Scully hears the noise and drops the box she's holding. She runs to Dorlund's office, but it's locked (OF COURSE) and she can't get in to see what's happening (OF COURSE). What's happening, in fact, includes pictures falling off the walls, a mysterious ghostly wind, and the letter opener flying through the air and pointing right at Dorlund's face. It hangs there for a second, while Mulder and Lauren watch helplessly, and then zips across the room and into the wall, where it slices away some wallpaper before dropping.

The wind stops. The door gives, and Scully bursts in. ARGH. All she sees is Dorlund gasping on the floor, Mulder and Lauren huddled by the desk with their hair all mussed, and papers blown everywhere. So, definitely unusual, but not paranormal, it must be admitted.

Mulder goes to the wall and examines the tear, pulling back the wallpaper to reveal a floppy disk. BUSTED, Dorlund! Your days of terrorist-helping, baby-eating freedom are over, bizzatch! (Side note: Can you imagine any data of any importance these days being able to fit on a floppy disk? Do you guys remember how much those held? 800K. Yeah. I think the fancy "new" ones held twice that, because they were "two-sided" or something. I hope they could fit all that incriminating evidence into, like, one two-page Word document.)
