2X01 Little Green Men

After the death of Deep Throat and the closure of the X-files, Mulder and Scully are separated and re-assigned. Scully returns to
her teaching position at the FBI Academy, Quantico. And Mulder bogged down in mundane phone tap surveillance work begins to
lose faith in his search for the truth, after everything he has been witness to in the X-files, he has no hard evidence to prove the
existence of extraterrestrials and his sister's abduction. Mulder is called by his contact on Capitol Hill, Senator Matheson who
questions Mulder on his knowledge about the Voyager spacecraft sent out in to the cosmos with a message from mankind. Senator
Matheson explains that the abandoned Arecibo ionosphere observatory in Puerto Rico had received a signal for outer space, that
appears to be information from the Voyager message. With a Blue Beret UFO Retrieval Team already on route to destroy the
evidence, Mulder goes AWOL in Puerto Rico to the abandoned SETI Program site, in search of contact with intelligent alien life
forms. Scully is questioned about Mulder's whereabouts and manages to trace him via evidence at his apartment and one of his
pseudonym's 'George E Hale' on a flight manifest to Puerto Rico. But as Scully finds Mulder so does the Blue Beret UFO Retrieval
Team. In their rush to leave most of the evidence is left behind. Back in Washington Mulder finds the evidence he does have is
worthless. However he has found the faith to keep looking for the truth.

"I wanted to believe....but the tools have been taken away. The X-files had been shut down. They closed our eyes, our voices had
been silenced, our ears now deaf to the realms of extreme possibilities."

2X02 The Host

Mulder is pulled of his mundane phone tap surveillance assignment and sent to investigate the discovery of a decomposing body in
the New Jersey sewers, but Mulder dismissing it as another gangland killing. Insulted by the pointless assignment he storms in to
Assistant Director Skinner's office and confronts him. Skinner tells Mulder the X-files have been closed and the sooner he accepts
that the better. Mulder later confesses to Scully that he is considering leaving the bureau and pursuing his interest in the
paranormal on his own. But Scully, handling her reassignment more professionally, insists on doing the autopsy and discovers a
parasitic worm in the dead man's body. When a sewage worker is attacked by something in the same sewers, Mulder interviews the
victim in hospital, he has a large unidentified bite mark on his back from the attack. Mulder receives a phone call, an unknown
male voice tells him he has a friend at the FBI. Mulder assuming Scully has been talking about him leaving, asks her not to start
any crusades for him, but Scully denies any knowledge on the phone call. When the sewage worker is later found dead in his
apartment, Mulder realises that the worm is merely the lava stage of a larger creature, that the perpetrator in the murders is a
mutant flukeworm. Scully's investigation reveals the new species arrived on a ship used to dispose of material from the Chernobyl
accident. Scully concludes that nature didn't make it, mankind did.

2X03 Blood
When the small town of Franklin, Pennsylvania is rocked by a series of 'spree killings' the local Police requests the FBI's help.
Agent Mulder is assigned the case and meets Sherrif Spencer at the latest crime scene, where a real estate agent went beserk in a
lift, killing people with his bare hands until police arrived at the scene and shot him dead. It matches the pattern of a number of
recent incidents involving individuals with no previous history of violence or anti-social behaviour suddenly going on a killing
frenzy in a public area until the police use deadly force to stop them. In each case an electronic device was damaged at the scene.
When a car mechanic is found murdered in his garage, Mulder notices that he was repairing a damaged electronic clock display in
a car. Mulder questions the car's owner Bonnie McRoberts, but she attacked him with a knife and is shot dead by Sheriff Spencer.
Scully autopsies Bonnie's body and finds high levels of adrenalin and a substance called LSDM. The Lone Gunman explain that
LSDM is an experimental synthetic insecticide that releases pheromones that induce a fear response in cluster flies. It seems that
local officials sanctioned the spraying of LSDM on crops, that the local local economy depends on to save them from cluster flies.
Mulder believes that LSDM is causing the same fear response in a minority of local people, those who suffer from cronic phobias.
But evidence merges that someone may be using the town as a controlled experiment.

Mulder's cellular phone:"All done.....Bye Bye"

2X04 Sleepless
Mulder receives an audio tape in his morning paper, which draws his attention to the death of Dr Grissom, a prominent doctor
specialising in sleep disorders. The tape is a recording of the 911 call, from the tape it is clear that Dr Grissom believed his
apartment was on fire. But the newspaper article does not mention a fire. Mulder manages to get himself assigned to the case only
to find that another agent, Alex Krycek has been assigned the case. Mulder reluctantly has to partner him for the period of the
investigation. Scully performs the autopsy on Grissom and discovers that his internal injuries are consistent with being burned to
death in a fire, as if his body had thought it was being burned. When a second man, Henry Willig, found dead in his apartment is
autopsied Scully discovers that he has internal wounds that indicate he was shot to death. Mulder is contacted by a mysterious man
X, who sent him the audio tape. X is a colleague of Mulder's former contact Deep Throat, who tells him that he is in a position to
help Mulder, but on his terms. X tells Mulder that Willig and Grissom were both involved in a sleep eradicate experiment on a
group of elite Vietnam soliders known as J7. Evidence emerges that one of the two surviving members of the squad, Augustus
Cole is atoning for their sins during the war. Mulder believes that in his years without sleep Cole has developed the ability to
project his thoughts on to other people and is using this power to kill.

With Scully still missing and no one to trust, Mulder is forced to immerse himself in his work on the recently reopened X-files.
Mulder opens an X-files case (No. 73317) on Scully's abduction, before being contacted by the LAPD, who are investigating a
murder where the victim was drained of his blood. Mulder recognises it as the work of a trio of serial killers called the 'Unholy
Trinity', who he has been following for over a year. They previously struck six times in Oregon and Tennessee. They have a fetish
for drinking the blood of their victims. The LAPD busy with a raging forest fire are more than happy to hand the case over to
Mulder. Mulder rings around the local blood banks to see if any have recently taken on new employees. A ploy which pays off as
he catches one of the killers John drinking blood in the basement of the Hollywood Blood Bank. John who calls himself 'The Son'
claims he ingests blood because he is a vampire who can not die, but Mulder believes John is delusional. John is placed in a cell
for the night but when the sun rises in the morning he is burnt to death, much to Mulder's surprise. During the autopsy on John's
body, a stamp is discovered on his hand that leads Mulder to the Club Tepes. At the club Mulder meets a vampire fetishist called
Kristen. She knows John, they used to be in to blood sports together but then it all turned unnatural. Now he is dead she fears for
her safety. Mulder has trouble determining whether Kristen is a criminal or a victim.

discovery of a silicon based life form living in the Volcano. And that Firewalker accidentally brought back this fungal life form
which infected the members of the research team. Trepkos is killing the infected members to ensure the infection does not spread.
Scully's medical expertise is invaluable once more, her research indicates that infection only occurs if a person is exposed at the
moment that the fungal spores are released, so Trepkos lets them leave.

2X10 Red Museum

Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate by a local sheriff after a number of Wisconsin teenagers are found walking in the
woods in their underwear, drugged and with the phrase 'He is one' or 'She is one' written on their bodies. Sheriff Mazeroski
believes a local religious cult called the Church of the Red Museum is responsible. They came to the area three years before and
bought a ranch, being vegitarian they turned the cattle in to pets, which caused a lot of resentment with local cattle ranchers. But
after going to see them Mulder informs Scully they are 'walkins', who believe in soul transference, that enlightened souls take over
other peoples bodies. Mulder doubts their complicity, however he notices their presence causes a lot of tension in the local
community. An old man shows Mulder and Scully cattle being injected with a genetically modified growth hormone, which he
claims has made the local people very aggressive. The case takes a dramatic turn when the local doctor is killed in a light aircraft
accident. His briefcase contains thousands of dollars, details of local families and a phial of liquid. Later identified as similar to the
substance found in The Erlenmeyer Flask. It would appear that Dr Larson was injected local children with the contents of the
phial. And that the attacks on the teenagers was an attempt by a local paedophile to draw attention to these experiments. But they
have to move fast as the evidence begins to disappear and witnesses start to die.

When nurse Michelle Charter working at the Excelsis Dei Convalescents Home in Worcester, Massachusetts claims to have been
raped by an invisible entity, the details are brought to Scully's attention. Mulder for once is sceptical, there are several X-files
relating to 'entity rape' but all have been inconclusive. Scully argues that a crime has been committed and must be investigated.
They interview Michelle Charter, she tells them that the spirit that attacked her was of one of the residence at the home. Mulder
and Scully interview the accused man Hal Arden, but he assures them he does not have the strength or sexual drive to rape anyone.
Shortly after they interview him Hal starts choking and dies. The head doctor John Grago is upset when he hears of Hal's death, he
like many of the other residence had been responding well to a new drug Depranil, sending Alzheimers in to remission. However
when an autopsy on Hal reveals trace amounts of Ibotenic acid, a hallucinogenic drug in his system, Dr John Grago does not know
how it got there. The situation worsens when one of the orderlies is pushed out of a window by an invisible force whilst chasing
Hal's roommate Stan. Mulder discovers a room full of mushrooms being grown in the basement by an Asian orderly called Gung.
He has been giving them to the residents to enable them to speak with the dead. Gung is convinced that the rape and deaths have

explain how Mulder is suspicious. Dental records confirm the body is that of agent Sam Chaney, both he and his partner Tim
Ledbetter used psychology to solve what were called 'stranger killings' in the 1930's. But they disappeared in 1942 while
investigating a series of 'slash killings' in Missouri. Mulder and Scully interview Morrow, she claims that when her car stalled, she
noticed a dog digging in the field and then discovered the body. Mulder and Scully meet Morrow's superior Lieutenant Tillman,
Scully realises that their relationship is more than professional. When Scully questions Morrow, she admits that she is having an
affair with Tillman even though he is married. She also tells Scully that she is pregnant and has been having dreams about murders
since she has been pregnant. Mulder believes that Chaney and Ledbetter fell victim to the 'slash killer' that they were tracking in
1942. A killer who attacked women and carved the word, 'sister' in to their chests. When he discovers the marks on Chaney's ribs
spell out the word, 'brother' he is convinced they were killed by the same man. When Tillman sees the crime scene photographs
that Mulder has on the 1942 'slash killings', he is shocked. As he is currently investigating a series of attacks on local women
matching the same MO. Mulder soon realises that Morrow's dreams hold the key to the case.

When FBI agent Moe Bocks of the Minnesota Bureau investigates the case of a female corpse dug up and mutilated, he is quick to
think it is the work of extraterrestrial and calls in agent Mulder and Scully for their expertise with UFO's. However Mulder who
has seen this before recognises it as the work of an escalating fetishist. Someone who collects dead things, hair and fingernails, no
one quite knows why they do it. Scully who has never seen a case like it before although she has read about them, is badly shaken
by what she sees. Mulder warns agent Bocks that the escalating fetishist may progress from mutilating the dead to opportunistic
homicide, killing people and then mutilating them. A theory given credence when a prostitute is found murdered and mutilated.
After examining the body and how it was defiled Mulder tells Bocks that the killer has a deep hatred of women and will continue
to kill until he is stopped. As word of the attacks spreads the local populous become uneasy, when a prostitute is hit by a john she
pulls a knife and cuts him. Mulder and Scully joins Bocks as they question the man, who it turns out is innocent. But unknown to

Private Jack McAlpin in North Carolina. He is the second marine stationed at the Folkstone government processing camp for
Hatian refugees to die in mysterious circumstances. The Marine Corp officially classified the deaths as suicides, but another
marine stationed at the camp, Harry Durham attributes the deaths to a voodoo curse. Mulder and Scully travel to the camp and
interview the base commander Colonel Wharton. He tells them that tension has been high in the camp since a young Haitian boy
was killed during a riot. He blames the whole situation on a Haitian revolutionary, Pierre Bauvais who is being held in a camp cell.
Scully is given permission to carry out an autopsy but McAlpin's body is missing. However as she and Mulder drive away from
the camp, she narrowly avoids running down McAlpin walking in the middle of the road. Tests on McAlpin reveal trace amounts
of the poison tetrodotoxin in his blood stream, leading Mulder to conclude that someone injected McAlpin so that he would appear
to be dead. When Durham makes a claim that Commander Wharton has sanctioned the beating of the refugees in retaliation for the
men he lost during the invasion of Haiti, the situation is further muddled. In the charged world of voodoo curses and zombie
soldiers Mulder and Scully search for the truth behind the deaths.

linked to an escaped elephant, despite the fact that no witnesses saw the creature. Mulder and Scully travel to Idaho and meet Ed
Meecham, the elephant trainer at the Fairfield Zoo who shows them that the elephant's cage is still locked. He suggests they talk to

background to gain access to the sole survivor Lieutenant Richard Harper at the Bethsheda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Scully is
surprised to find that the 28 year old Harper is a wrinkly grey haired old man. Mulder believes it has something to do with the

Olafssen, who seems unaffected by premature ageing. They realise his apparent immunity holds the key to the case. As Mulder

When Jerald Glazebrook aka 'Alligator Man' is attacked and killed in Gibsontown, Florida a retirement community for freaks and
side show performers. It matches a pattern of forty-eight similar attacks spanning twenty-eight years all across the US. Someone
working in circuses travelling from place to place across the US would be a primary suspect. Mulder and Scully investigate the
recent attack in an attempt to catch the killer. They meet with Sheriff Hamilton who fills them in on the case. Mulder is intrigued
by a drawing by local artist Hepcat Helm of the Fiji Mermaid, an exhibit P.T. Barnum billed as a 'genuine fake' as it was
supposedly a fish's tail sown on to the body of a monkey. When Hepcat Helm is later killed in his studio and the only access is via
a very small window, Mulder theorises that the Fiji Mermaid is not only real but responsible for the murders. As they later
discover that Sheriff Hamilton himself used to be Jim-Jim, the dog-faced boy and encounter other town residence like Dr

Pharmaceutical not the CDC, is accidentally infected and near death explains to Scully that the company funds exploration of rain
forests for potential drug application. One of their entomologists discovered an insect Faciophagia Emasculata, which carries a
parasite that attacks the human immune system. Now the company and the government are attempting to cover up the fact that the
prisoners were used as guinea pigs. When Mulder and Scully discover the involvement of the Cigarette Smoking Man, they
suspect the whole incident is an attempt to eliminate them and debunk the X-files.
