Blood

At the main post office in the town of Franklin, Pennsylvania, an employee of Edward Fans engaged in routine work: introduces zip codes in the sorting apparatus. Cutting a finger on the paper, Fans freezes as one drop of blood, and goes out of his stupor only after the treatment of the head. The reports Fansu that at the end of the week he will be fired due to job cuts. After Fans sits back in his sorting machine, he sees the words "Kill them all" on the digital screen of the device.

At the community center Franklin middle-aged man on the monitor in a crowded Elevator sees the inscription "No air". He's the only who sees the message. Sweaty, he again glances at the monitor, which flashes the words "can't breathe", and then "Kill them all".

Mulder arrives in town center, to investigate a mass murder. Sheriff Spencer says that a suspect killed four people in the Elevator with his bare hands, and was then shot by guard. Sheriff Spencer puzzled because Franklin is a quiet farming town, but over the past six months seven of its residents killed a total of 22 people. Mulder inspects the Elevator and notices that the display in it has been damaged. He also examines the suspect's body, which under the nails reveals a green precipitate.

Scully, while in Quantico, reads a preliminary report Mulder, who is convinced that the incidents in town like obsession, but the suspects were very normal people, who soon were to become victims and not criminals. The only connection I can find is that all the suspects destroyed during the assassination of electronic devices with displays, but to predict who will be the next victim or the killer, Mulder can't.

A resident of the city Bonnie Mcroberts night picking up his car from the garage after repairs. The message on the display device for the diagnosis of the engine warns the woman that mechanic is going to rape and kill her. Macroberts with a wild cry strikes on the mechanics and killing the metal drain pipe from the petrol cans.

In the morning Spencer and Mulder found the workshop a receipt with information about Macroberts come to her home. Mulder asks if she saw something strange on the monitor. A woman sees on the display the microwave the message that men will rape and kill. She grabs a kitchen knife and lunges at Mulder, cut his hand, but the Sheriff Spencer kills her service weapon.

At Quantico, Scully conducts an autopsy on Mcroberts. It detects an extremely high level of adrenaline – the physiological basis of fear, the same substance that was found under the fingernails of the murderer from the Elevator. It implies that the substance when combined with other drugs causing neurochemical reaction as in the use of LSD.

While Mulder and Scully are going Fans more crazy, continuing to read the incitement to murder on the screens whenever he sees blood or thinking about it.

During a morning jog Mulder sees a work, the release of half-dead flies on the side. He takes one of them and sends a "lone shooters". Those suggest that flies to pollinate pesticide, which contributes to feelings of fear of insects and similar in composition with LSD. That night Mulder returns to the Franklin to explore the fruit garden falls under the spraying of chemicals from helicopters and is in the hospital. There on the television screen, Mulder sees a commercial with the slogan "Do it!" and comes to the conclusion that pesticides exacerbate the phobia of people so that subliminal messages can be the cause of the murder. The agent believes that this is proof that the town conducted an experiment on people.

Head of the municipal Council cannot clearly answer who advised him to proceed to the pollination of these pesticides. After an unpleasant conversation, he agrees to stop spraying and take the blood of the inhabitants of the town for analysis, but only under the pretext of research on cholesterol. When ed Fansu nurse comes, the fear of not opening the door. The phobia escalates, and Fans, breaking all electronic devices in your home, puts it in the bag hunting rifle and sent to the hospital, where the point of blood donation. Mulder comes home to Fansu, as he is one of the few residents who do not pass blood, and realizes that he is afraid of blood. The empty case from the rifle the agent understands that Fans, most likely, went to the hospital to commit mass murder, and the police arranges an ambush.

The bus Fans sees on the monitor of a cash register, the message "waiting for You. Go bus." Staging a tantrum, Fans stops the bus halfway and goes to a local College. Mulder learns from the driver of the bus arrived where he was going Fans, and hurries with the police there. Fans climbs the clock tower of the College and rifle opens fire on people at the bottom. Mulder runs into the room where Fans and, after a brief conversation and a short battle, disarm him. When FANSA taken away on a stretcher, Mulder was going to call Scully, but on the screen he sees a message "you are done. Bye!". Having taken up Scully calls Mulder, but he loses his voice.
