Agent Colton (Donal Logue), a friend of Scully's (Gillian Anderson)
from the police academy days, offers her to work on a case with him and in
the process get her out of the X-files ... but somehow the case - three
people were found in rooms locked from the inside with their livers torn
out - is so unusual that agent Mulder (David Duchovny)of the X-files gets
wind of it, and he does some investigations of his own, with the result
that similar murders happened 30, 60 and 90 years ago, and the
fingerprints taken in these cases are perfect matches, as unusual as this
might be. Soon, Scully and Colton make an arrest, Eugene Victor Tooms
(Doug Hutchison), a maintenance worker in his twenties, but have to let
him go about as soon, as there is no real evidence linking him to the
crime - only Mulder is not convinced, and he tracks him down to an
allegedly abandoned building, where he finds Tooms' lair ... and finds out
he is some kind of elastic man who after feeding on human liver hibernates
for 30 years - but by then, Tooms has aleady set his eyes on Scully, or
rather her liver, and Mulder arrives just in time to save her and arrest
Tooms ... This one starts quite interesting, as a locked
door mystery with an elastic man, and it could have been much fun
playing with that basic premise. However, about halfway through, the
writers throw the whole premise out of the window and turn the whole thing
into a story about a hibernating man, a story that has no connection
whatsoever to the whole setup, and the two parts are not brought back
together again, it seems that the story has just transformed because the
writers ran out of ideas, and since this is The X-Files, heck, why
not throw in something unexplainable to explain something unlikely? Which
is rather a pity, because the setup was good - the outcome quite plainly
isn't.
