MULDER IS INTRIGUED BY A BEAUTIFUL SUSPECT AS HE DELVES INTO A SERIES OF MURDERS WITH VAMPIRE-LIKE CHARACTERISTICS.

A businessman is killed in his own hot tub by a trio who drain his body of blood. Mulder, now without Scully to help him, tracks one suspect to a blood bank, where he finds the man drinking blood. Mulder arrests him but thinks his claims of vampirism are a psychotic delusion; he is astonished when his suspect dies as soon as he is touched by sunlight. Now determined to know if vampires really exist, Mulder plunges into a dark and dangerous underworld where sex, murder and blood intermingle in trendy nightclubs. His search is complicated by his involvement with an alluring suspect, who is linked to the unholy trinity of killers by ties of blood and desire.

The only episode, so far, that is missing Scully. She was recovering from childbirth. In my opinion, she is sorely missed, as this ep is not one of my favorites. I just hope the Big Boys are paying attention. The X-Files is NOT the same without Scully!

Perrey Reeves and David Duchovny were dating at the time this episode was filmed.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life,and I will raise him up on the last day.

Mulder: "They have the same feeble, literal grasp of the bible as all those big-hair preachers do."

Policeman: "An FBI agent without a partner?"

Mulder: "Hi, this is Marty Mulder from your payroll service?"

Janitor: "Easy, man! Easy! Sorry, man. I didn't know you were there. Damn freak night watchman down there always breaking the light bulbs."

John: "I'll only talk to him..."

Interrogator: (to Mulder) "Lucky you."

____________________________________________________________

John: "No! When a snake eats a fly, it's not murder. It just is."

Mulder: "Frogs eat flies... Are you dead?"

John: "I never will be."

Mulder: "Do you believe that?"

John: "Don't you want to live forever?"

Mulder: "Not if drawstring pants come back into style."

Mulder: "It's a stiff price though. Look at yourself, drinking blood, living in darkness, unable to see your reflection in a mirror. Or is that just a myth?" (pulls out mirror, sees John's reflection)

John: "I can't be seen in no mirror."

____________________________________________________________

John: "Look, what nobody knows is that there is no after-life. I know this, but listen, listen. I know this, because, when we prolong our lives by taking theirs, all I see is such horror, in their eyes. And that's because at that moment, they're face to face with death and then suddenly they realize there's nothing else. There's no heaven, there's no soul; there's just rot and decay."

____________________________________________________________

John: "He is. A spirit is one who believes. He knows we are possible."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "It's more likely I'll be looking into your eyes at the moment before they lead you into the gas chamber."

Mulder: "...in another couple of hours, there'll be no escaping the sun, son..."

____________________________________________________________

Policeman: "What if he turns into a bat and flies out through the bars?"

Policeman: "Why don't you go back to your hotel room and get some sleep?"

Mulder: "I didn't check into a hotel room. I don't sleep anymore."

Coroner: "You are really upsetting me... On several levels."

____________________________________________________________

Coroner: (light bulb on hand) "An old coroner's trick."

Mulder: "I can make a quarter appear from behind your ear..."

Krista: "Are you about to ask what a normal person like me is doing in a place like this?"

Mulder: "How do you define normal?"

Krista: "Misha, red wine... I don't. How do you?"

Mulder: "All I know is, uh, normal... is not what I feel."

Krista: "You've lost someone. Not a lover... a friend."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "AIDS... Aren't you afraid?"

Krista: (laughs) "I wish I could die."
