...female agent has been murdered, and her colleague Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) has enlisted Mulder and Scully to help her find the killer. One clue comes from visions of the murder claimed by Father Joe (Billy Connolly), a Catholic priest who had been convicted of sexually abusing dozens of altar boys decades before.
