1X79 Pilot
FBI agent Dana Scully, an instructor at the FBI Academy Quantico for two year since being recruited directly out of medical
school. With her background as a medical doctor with a degree in physics, she is assigned by Section Chief Blevins in the
prescence of a mysterious Cigarette Smoking Man to evaluate the validity of another agent's work. FBI agent Fox 'Spooky'
Mulder is an Oxford educated psychologist, considered one of the best analysts in the Violent Crimes Section and marked for big
things in the FBI following a distinguished stint at Behavioural Science. But agent Mulder has become the 'FBI's most unwanted'
having developed a consuming devotion to an unassigned project outside the Bureau mainstream. The X-files, unexplained cases
that it seems the FBI would rather bury than investigate. Following their introductions in the X-files basement office in
Washington, the two agents travel to Bellefleur Oregon to investigate the death of a high school student Karen Swenson. Her
body bears the same red marks as previous victims found across the US. They discover that a number of Karen Swenson's fellow
students have also been killed. One student Billy Miles' story confirms Mulder belief that they have been abducted and
experimented on by aliens, a theory that Scully with her scientific background finds hard to substantiate, even after an exhumed
coffin reveals non-human remains and an unidentified metallic object found in the nasal cavity.

1X02 Squeeze
Agent Scully is approached by a classmate from the FBI academy, Agent Tom Colton to help in his investigation into a spate of
motiveless murders with an unusual MO. In each case there is no clear point of entry and each victim had their liver removed.
Scully requests the participation of her partner despite Tom Colton's discomfort at the inclusion of 'Spooky' Mulder. At the crime
scene, a high security building where businessman George Usher was the apparent latest victim of the killer, Mulder discovers
strange finger prints on an air vent. Prints that he links to a number of old X-files cases with a similar MO, however the X-file
cases took place in 1903, 1933 and 1963. In each case the killer claimed 5 victims and was never caught. Mulder and Scully
attempt to solve the case, Scully using traditional methods stakes out the latest crime scene, a ploy which appears to pay off as
she arrests a man, Eugene Tooms in the air vent system. But Tooms is later released when he passes a polygraph test. Mulder
however using very much more unorthodox methods, manipulates Tooms' finger prints using a computer and matches them to the
prints from the other crime scenes. Leading Mulder to the conclusion that Tooms is a 100 year old genetic mutant who requires
human livers to sustain him during decades of hibernation. A theory that leads to a confrontation with Agent Tom Colton.

Mulder: "Of course I was, in our investigations, you may not always agree with me, but at least you respect the journey"
1X03 Conduit
Section Chief Blevins calls in Agent Scully when Mulder petitions the bureau to assign a case number to a newspaper article. In
the article Darlene Morris claims her daughter Ruby was abducted by aliens during a family camping trip in Iowa. Blevins is
concerned that the case is so similar to Mulder's own childhood experience of his sister's abduction that it has affected his
judgement. When Scully questions Mulder on the matter, he explains that the incident took place at Lake Okobogee, a renowned
UFO 'hot spot' and shows Scully an old newspaper article about a UFO sighting by a local girl scout group, one of whom was
Darlene Morris. The two agents travel to Iowa to investigate, they question Darlene who sticks to her story about alien abduction,
despite the local law enforcement offices claim that Ruby is probably on the back of a Harley Davidson somewhere. Only Mulder
believes her story. Prompted by memories of his own sister's abduction, Mulder is drawn to Ruby's brother Kevin, who was
present during the abduction but remembers nothing of the incident. Mulder believes Kevin is the key to the recovery of his sister.
The NSA is also interested in Kevin, after his doodling turns out to be snippets of top secret satellite transmissions. The case
opens up some old wounds in Mulder bringing back memories of his sister's abduction but also reveals his believe that she will
one day be returned to him.

1X05 Shadows
Agents Mulder and Scully are contacted by another government agency for their expertise of strange events. They are shown two
dead men whose bodies are still warm and show signs of electromagnetic activity. Told only that their throats were crushed from
the inside but nothing else about the case, Mulder and Scully can offer no help. After they leave Mulder admits he has seen this
before, in the X-files in cases involving psychokinesis. Mulder managed to secretly lift prints off the two bodies during their
examination. Using these they discover that the two men were members of an Iranian terrorist group found murder in
Philadelphia. At the scene where the bodies were discovered Mulder notices an ATM machine round the corner, on checking the
security footage, they see the two men attack a young woman Lauren Kyte. They question Lauren Kyte, a secretary for HTG
Technologies whose boss Howard Graves recently committed suicide. Lauren claims that the two men attacked her for her pay
check but she broke free and ran off, the agents doubt her story but as they leave their car looses control and crashes. Scully is
convinced that Lauren's accomplice sabotaged the car while they were interviewing Lauren. Especially when a photograph
reveals Lauren's supposedly dead boss Howard Graves in the background. Mulder however believes Howard Graves is protecting
Lauren Kyte from beyond the grave.

1X07 Ice
When the Government funded Arctic Ice Core Project's final transmission is a crazed geophysicist saying, "We are not who we
are", Mulder and Scully join the team sent to investigate. Along with geologist Dr. Denny Murphy, physician Doctor Lawrence
Hodge, toxicologist Doctor Nancy Da Silva and their pilot Bear they travel to Icy Cape, Alaska. On arrival at the Arctic base they
discover that the geophysicists all killed themselves or each other. The Ice Core Project's mission was to drill in to the Arctic ice
and extract core samples to analyse Earth's climate all the way back to the dawn of man. Further investigation reveals that there
was a pathogen in the latest ice core samples recovered. It appears that this pathogen got loose among the geophysicists and that it
is capable of inducing a killing frenzy in it's host. When the discovery of an infected dog which attacks the group leads to the
pilot Bear being infected, Scully orders a quarantine to prevent the pathogen spreading. But Bear refuses to stay and has to be
restrained as he attempts to leave, during the scuffle something is seen under his skin, it is surgically extracts and turns out to be
some sort of parasitic worm. The location that the ice core sample came from is traced to a meteor buried deep in the ice
indicating the possibility that the organism is alien in origin. With the possibility that other members of the group could be
infected it soon becomes apparent that the first thing to die is trust.

1X08 Space
Mulder and Scully travel to Houston, Texas after being contacted by NASA Scientist Michelle Generoo when evidence emerges
that the space shuttle program is being sabotaged. Michelle shows them an X-ray of the shuttle's Auxiliary Power Unit, that
appears to have been tampered with, although how the value could have been damaged is a mystery. The X-ray itself was sent to
her anonymously. Mulder fulfils his boyhood fantasy when the two agents meet with the Space Shuttle Program Director, former
astronaut Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt. He assures them that no one is trying to undermined the Space Shuttle
Program, that no one could with the tight security and sophisticated technology NASA employs. However when the next shuttle
mission encounters a technical problem while in orbit Michelle, who's husband is one of the astronauts on the shuttle, again calls
on Mulder and Scully for help. The technical problem is over come thanks to some quick thinking by Lt Col Belt, but it appears
that he may hold the key to the case. He is haunted by an alien image of something he saw in space 20 years earlier. Something
that cohabits his body and may be responsible for the sabotage. When it is discovered that the X-ray that Michelle was sent was
ordered by Lt Col Belt, Scully concludes that Belt is responsible. But as the lives of the space shuttle crew hang in the balance,
Belt has to struggle with the force inside him.

1X10 Eve
When 8 year old Teena Simmons is witness to the exsanguination of her father in Greenwich, Connecticut. Mulder believes it is
the work of extraterrestrials, stepping up their activity from cattle mutilations to humans. A theory that appears to be backed by
Teena's memory of 'men from the clouds'. But when it is discovered that an identical incident occurred at the same time in Marin
County, California, Mulder begins to doubt alien involvement. They meet 8 year old Cindy Reardon, who witnessed her own
father's exsanguination and are surprised at her uncanny resemblance to Teena. They question Ellen, Cindy's mum about whether
or not Cindy is an only child. She explains that Cindy was the product of in-vitro fertilisation at a clinic in San Francisco. When it
turns out that Teena's mother underwent treatment at the same clinic, Scully goes to investigate it's involvement. Mulder is
contacted by Deep Throat who tells him about a 40 year old secret government run eugenics program called the 'Litchfield
Experiment'. There were eight boys and eight girls called Adams and Eves, each with extra chromosomes for heightened strength
and intelligence. But an unwanted side affect of heightened psychosis ultimately doomed the experiment and lead to the deaths of
all but 3 of the Eves. Scully's trip to the fertility clinic indicates that one of the Eve's has carried on the 'Litchfield Experiment'
and that Cindy and Teena are the product. But there is more to the girls than meets the eye.

1X11 Fire
Inspector Phoebe Green of Scotland Yard contacts Mulder and Scully for assistance in the protection of a British diplomat, Sir
Marsden in the US with his family following a foiled assassination attempt. Phoebe, a girlfriend of Mulder's while he was at
Oxford explains that there has been a series of British aristocrats burned to death by an unknown assailant. Mulder tells Scully
that he is afraid of fire and Phoebe knows it, that this is the sort of 'mind game' she likes to play. In order to spare Scully the
ordeal Mulder decides to help Phoebe on his own. A move that causes resentment in an already jealous Scully. Following a fire in
a local bar in which a witness claims that a man with a British accent caught fire, although no body is found in the ashes, Mulder
formulates a theory that the man has the ability to control fire, that he has been using this ability to kill. When a fire breaks out in
a hotel where the Marsdens are attending a party that traps their children upstairs, Mulder is overcome as he tries to rescue them,
although the children are still saved, by the Marsden's caretaker Bob much to the their delight. However Scully working on the
case herself manages to match a name Cecil L'Ively from a list of people the previous victim's employed. Records show L'Ively
has recently been issued a US visa. When Scully gets a description of the man, she realises that he is the Marsden's caretaker Bob.
But can Mulder overcome his fear of fire in time to foil L'Ively's plan.

1X13 GenderBender
Mulder and Scully travel to Germantown, Maryland to investigate the latest in a spate of serial sex killings of both male and
female victims. All of the victims were found dead with high levels of pheromones in their bodies following a sexual encounter.
When security camera footage of the latest victim shows him arriving home with a woman and sometime later a man leaving the
apartment, Scully suspects they are dealing with a transvestite. Mulder believes they are looking for the ultimate sex machine,
that has the ability to change sex. A substance found at the murder scene is traced to a small town in Massachusetts, where an
Amish-like community called the Kindred live. Mulder and Scully go to investigate this reclusive religious group and after
surrendering their weapons are invited to dine with the sect members. During the meal they question the Kindred about the
murders, they claim no interest in the affairs of the outside world. When one of the older members begins choking Scully
attempts to help him but is forbidden to do so. That evening Mulder and Scully carry out their own clandestine surveillance
during which Mulder witnesses the man who was choking at dinner lying in an underground catacomb apparently changing sex.
Meanwhile Scully is approached by Brother Andrew who tells her that another member Brother Martin was seduced by the world
and left the sect, that he is responsible for the murders. But the Kindred are hiding an even bigger secret.

robber Dupree's wife Lula and asks Scully to help him, but when they manage to track her down Willis instead takes Scully
hostage. Willis tries desperately to convince Lula that he is really Dupree, that Willis died in the ER and Dupree entered his body.

son Lyle. However when he examines the animal closer he discovers the body of a Native American man, Joseph Goodensnake.
Mulder and Scully discover physical evidence from the scene, tracks that change from animal to human foot prints and a scrap of
shredded skin. Mulder is quick to suggest Lycanthrophy, the very phenomenon which opened the very first X-file in 1946. Scully
is quick to rebut him, with the Parker's in dispute with local Native Americans over land rights there may be a more conventional
explanation to the case. Mulder and Scully travel to the Trego Indian Reservation where they meet Sheriff Charlie Tskany, who
shows them Goodensnakes' body. During the examination Mulder notices that Goodensnakes' front teeth are elongated like an
animals. Sheriff Tskany denies Scully's request for an autopsy as it would be in violation of Native American burial rites. When
Jim Parker is killed in an animal attack suspicion falls on Goodensnakes' sister, Gwen missing since the attack. However Mulder
interviews an elderly Native American man Ish, who tells him about the Native American legend of the Manitou. A mythical
spirit with the power to turn men into beasts. If Joseph Goodensnake was affected then his sister Gwen could also be a

1X20 Tooms
Agent Scully reports to Assistant Director Skinner and the mysterious Cigarette Smoking Man, who tell her that the X-files cases
must be investigated using proper FBI procedures. Scully tells them that the very nature of the X-files warrants the use of
unorthodox means of investigation. Meanwhile a psychiatric board convenes a parole hearing for mutant killer Eugene Tooms,
Mulder testifies at the hearing to tell them how dangerous Tooms is. But the board members question Mulder's credibility when
he tells them Toom's murder spree spans 100 years, and released Tooms back in to the community. Mulder is sure that Tooms
will attempt to get his fifth and final liver as soon as possible and then go in to a thirty year hibernation. He carries out his own
unauthorised surveillance of Tooms. Meanwhile Scully joins retired detective Frank Briggs, who investigated the previous
murders in 1933 and 1963 in an attempt to find evidence to prove Tooms is responsible. Mulder's foils Tooms' attempt to kill a

1X22 Roland
Mulder and Scully investigate the death of Dr Ronald Surnow, a member of a jet propulsion research team at the Mahan
Propulsion Lab, Washington working on an engine capable of Mach 15. Dr Surnow was trapped in the wind tunnel and sucked in
to the engine. He was the second member of the research team to die following the death of Dr Athur Grable in a car crash 6
months before. At the time of Dr Surnow's accident a mentally challenged maintenance worker called Roland Fuller was the only
other person in the building. Mulder and Scully question Roland about the incident. Mulder is intrigued by Roland's ability to
manipulate complex numbers, he compares Roland's handwriting to the complex equation on the blackboard in the lab, but they
do no match. Scully is ready to dismiss Roland as a suspect due to the advanced theoretical work found at the scene. But when
another member of the research team Dr Keats is killed by being immersed in liquid nitrogen, the agents discover evidence in
computer files that show someone is continuing Dr Arthur Grable's work. Their investigation of Dr Grable uncovers two
interesting facts, that Grable's head was cryogenically frozen after his death and stored in the lab and that Roland Fuller is his
twin brother. This leads Mulder to conclude that Dr Grable may have a psychic link to Roland and is directing his actions, to
complete his work on the engine and kill off the other scientists who threaten it.
