Blood
A recent rash of killings in the small town of Franklin, PA, brings Mulder to profile the murderers - a task made more difficult by the fact that none of them had any previous history of violence and all died at the end of their berserk rages. The only clues he has are some destroyed electronics and an unknown organic substance.
