|
Alex Krycek made his first appearance in the second-season episode "Sleepless", where he was partnered with Mulder on the Augustus Cole case. The "green" young agent seems to share Mulder's point of view on the issue of extreme possibilities, and makes every effort to ingratiate himself to the senior agent. Mulder doesn't trust the "young" man, but does not heavily distrust him, either, despite trying to ditch him in the beginning of the episode. Their working relationship, and Krycek's squeaky-clean image, are cast into doubt by Krycek's clandestine calls (of which Mulder is not aware) to persons unknown. At the end of the episode, Krycek gains a bit more of Mulder's trust, and we find out who Krycek has been calling: he meets in a dark room with the Cigarette Smoking Man, warning him that Scully is a bigger problem than they originally thought. And so began Krycek's evil reign.... Mulder and Krycek remain partners through "Duane Barry" (where Krycek's main role is as coffee gofer) and "Ascension", where he plays a role in Mulder's tram acrobatics, Scully's abduction, and the deaths of Duane Barry and the Skyland Mountain tram operator. Mulder uncovers the younger man's duplicity when he discovers Morley cigarette butts in the ashtray in Krycek's car, but by the time he brings the evidence to Skinner, his erstwhile partner has disappeared. ��� Krycek emerges from hiding in the second-season finale, "Anasazi", when he suddenly appears in Bill Mulder's bathroom. Hearing a shot, Mulder finds his father shot in the head on the bathroom floor. Mulder later apprehends Krycek outside his apartment building, where they fight and Mulder finally emerges with the upper hand, his finger on the trigger and the gun in Krycek's face. Scully prevents him from killing the other man, though, she then shoots Mulder instead (long story, watch the episode). Hence allowing Krycek to escape. In "The Blessing Way" (the third season premiere and middle episode of a trilogy started with "Anasazi"), Krycek and Luis Cardinal are inside Agent Scully's apartment when her sister Melissa walks through the door; Cardinal fires, and Melissa Scully falls to the floor. When Krycek rolls the body with his boot, he curses: they've obviously hit the wrong target. In "Paper Clip" (the third and final segment of the story), Krycek and a few accomplices assault Skinner in a hospital stairwell, stealing the DAT tape and making a run for it. While waiting in the car for his accomplices to return from a short pit stop, Krycek notices the car's clock flashing, and suddenly bolts, with the DAT tape still in his possession. He narrowly escapes as the car explodes, and later calls the Cigarette Smoking Man, threatening to make him a "very famous man". Krycek flees the country with the DAT tape as insurance, going underground once again. �� � In "Piper Maru", Mulder traces information he's seeking to a woman who's just travelling to Hong Kong; when he cuffs himself to her and forces her to her office, he's surprised by a gun-weilding Krycek, who shoves the woman (Geraldine, who has been marketing the DAT tape information for Krycek) into the hallway, locking the door between them. Gunshots ring out, and Geraldine is killed, the cuffs wedged in the door tying Mulder to the dead woman and the wall. Krycek escapes out the window, and Mulder narrowly escapes himself, catching up with Krycek in a Hong Kong airport. Krycek tells him that the DAT tape is in a locker back in Washington, but refuses to hand over the key. Since Krycek's bloodied from his encounter with Mulder, the agent sends him into the restroom to clean up. There, he's assaulted by Joan Gauthier, who is possessed by an oily alien lifeform. The alien transfers itself to Krycek's body, and he emerges from the restroom as "a new man". By the way--) if you have seen the eposide "Piper Maru" be sure to express your like or dislike on the bathroom scene (where Krycek wipes the blood off his face and proceeds to use the restroom when suddenly [Geraldine possesed by the oily alien lifeform ��� The second half of the two-parter begun by "Piper Maru", the episode "Apocrypha" finds a Krycek inhabited by an alien lifeform driving Mulder to the locker where he's stored the digital tape. They're run off the road, Mulder is knocked unconscious and two armed men drag Krycek from the car; there's a flash, killing both men and allowing Krycek to make his escape. Krycek, under alien control, later meets with Cancer Man, tossing the DAT tape onto the table in exchange for information on the salvaged alien vessel. Our next glimpse of Krycek in the episode shows him inside the abandoned missile silo where the craft is being stored, kneeling on top of the ship with black oil oozing from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. The alien returns to its silent ship, and Cancer Man has locked the door to silo 1013, imprisoning Krycek inside. He pounds on the door and screams into the darkness. In the fourth season's "Tunguska", Mulder receives receipts which lead to an assault on a militia compound, where Mulder catches Krycek, who is working with the militiamen to build bombs. Krycek claims that the militiamen set him free from the missile silo on a salvage run; he tells Mulder that he wants to bring CSM down, and knows where to get the evidence to do it. He points the agents to a man with a diplomatic pouch, and tells them that what they want is inside; they find a very old rock of extraterrestrial origin. Mulder tracks the rock to Tunguska, Siberia, and goes to Marita Covarrubias to get credentials that will get him into Russia. While he's there, he uses A.D. Skinner's place as a safehouse: Skinner cuffs Krycek to his balcony. When an intruder enters Skinner's apartment, Krycek grabs him and pulls him over the edge of the balcony to his death; when Skinner learns the news he has Mulder retrieve Krycek. Mulder's intent on getting to Siberia; just as he's leaving Krycek behind in the locked car, the man begins swearing at him in Russian, and Mulder decides to take him along as a translator. They arrive in Russia and hitch a ride into the woods of Tunguska, where they discover a gulag. They're caught, imprisoned, beaten and interrogated, then Krycek is taken by the guards and Mulder is left alone, another prisoner telling him that Krycek is not his friend: he speaks down to the guards. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

��� Mulder is taken out with the other prisoners in the second half of "Tunguska", the episode "Terma". Mulder spots Krycek conversing with the man running the gulag; he is apparently comfortable with his former captors and is wearing warm clothes. Wielding a home-made knife given to him by another prisoner, Mulder rushes Krycek and knocks him into the back of a truck, then jumps into the cab and takes the wheel, driving at high speeds away from the camp. Krycek wakes in the back of the truck, realizes that the brakes aren't working, and jumps out the back. Mulder, unable to stop the truck, slams it into a tree and takes off into the forest. Krycek, fleeing the scene, is accosted by a group of Russian villagers, all of whom are missing their left arm. When they ask who he is, he says he's an American, arrested and falsely accused of spying. They say they can protect him, but in the middle of the night they draw a red-hot knife from the fire and descend on him. We next see him in St. Petersburg, where he visits Vassily Peskow, a KGB assassin who has recently gone on assignment in the U.S., and commends him for a job well done, seeping his tea with a prosthetic left arm. | "Patient X" begins in Kazakhstan, former Soviet Union. Dmitri, a young boy who has witnessed a terrible slaughter is found in the woods by Krycek and a squad of Russian soldiers. The group approaches Marita Covarrubias and her team of United Nations peacekeepers who are inspecting the scene, and Krycek tells her that he knows who she works for, and she can tell him he has a witness (and that they can kiss his American ass). Krycek takes Dmitri back to the gulag, where he gets the information he wants with a brutal beating. He then tells a gulag doctor to do the test on the boy (exposing him to the black cancer), sews the boy's orifices shut so that the black oil can't escape, and steals him from the gulag, taking him on a ship to America. He then phones the Syndicate and offers Dmitri in exchange for information on the black cancer vaccine. He later meets with Covarrubias on the freighter; they kiss and then move off to be alone. When he returns, Covarrubias and the boy are both gone, and the Well Manicured Man stands there, armed, demanding answers. ��� Continued from "Patient X", "The Red and the Black" finds Krycek handcuffed in the hold where he had been keeping Dmitri. The Well Manicured Man has puzzled out Krycek's scheme: he deliberately exposed Dmitri to the black cancer so that anyone who tried to steal or interrogate the boy would be infected. He offers freedom in exchange for a vaccine against the cancer, which he is sure Krycek possesses, and which would enable resistance to alien colonization. Later, Krycek surprises Mulder in his apartment (he places a note on the floor that says, "Things are looking up"; when Mulder bends over to read it, he hits him in the head and rushes him). He tells Mulder about the alien colonization plans, and that the mass burnings he has been investigating are the work of alien rebels trying to prevent colonization. Krycek tells him that the rules are "fight or die" and "resist or serve", then gives him the location of a captured alien rebel, who, he says, is vital to the resistance. He leaves the agent with a kiss on the cheek and a "good luck, my friend" muttered in Russian. ��� In the fifth-season finale, "The End", Krycek appears again: he falls from the sky. Literally. He and another man parachute in to Quebec, outside the cabin where the Cigarette Smoking Man has been living. Krycek's partner is killed, but Krycek catches up with his elusive prey, holding a gun on CSM and saying, "I was sent to bring you back." Krycek returns CSM to the Syndicate, who require his skills for taking care of a young psychic (Gibson) who poses a threat to them. Krycek spends most of the episode acting as the Well Manicured Man's driver, and in the end CSM turns Gibson over to the Well Manicured Man and Krycek.
