The X-Files/Recap/S02/E05 Duane Barry

Mulder, along with his new partner Krycek, is called in to help negotiate a hostage situation being pulled by one Duane Barry, a man claiming to be a multiple-time alien abductee. Mulder uses his sister's abduction to build common ground - but is it Duane Barry who is being manipulated, or is he in fact doing the manipulating?
