Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Though originally telecast March 29, 1998, the X-Files episode "Travelers" takes place in 1990, long before Mulder was teamed with Scully. Upon learning that the chief suspect in a 1952 murder case has died, Mulder further discovers that the long-unsolved murder may have had something to do with his own father. The principal clue is a film clip of Mulder Sr. (Dean Aylesworth) sitting next to notorious Red-hunter Roy Cohn during the infamous HUAC hearings of the early '50s. "Travelers" was written by John Shiban and Frank Spotnitz.
