    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The series hired two Japanese translators to yield a proper translation of the title phrase, due to the fact that "fox hunting" is not readily rendered in Japanese.
    • Goofs
      When Scully and Mulder are explaining "Pusher"'s background to another character, they state that he follows a warrior code, which they call "Budo". In fact, Budo is a Japanese word referring to martial arts. The Japanese warrior code is called Bushido. Scully is just quoting Modell's own explanation from Pusher (1996), and it just shows that Modell doesn't know what he is talking about.
    • Quotes

      Walter Skinner: Mulder, a moment please?

      [waits for Scully to leave the office]

      Walter Skinner: I just wanted to say you did a good job.

      Fox Mulder: How's that?

      Walter Skinner: Nobody could have figured this out but you. You knew it was Linda Bowman and not Modell. You were way ahead of me.

      Fox Mulder: I almost killed my partner.

      Walter Skinner: Mulder, despite that, you prevailed. You won her game.

      Fox Mulder: How come I feel like I lost?
