Fire

In Baseme (England) an elderly man saying goodbye to his young wife before heading to work. Suddenly it lights up and all the servants rush towards him in an attempt to save his employer. Only a gardener named Cecil lively is not moving, intently watching a man burn to death in the middle of the lawn.

A few months in Washington, Phoebe green, an investigator of the Central police Department of London and ex-girlfriend of Mulder's from the time of their study in xforce, asks for Mulder's help in the investigation. Green reports that a serial arsonist chooses as victims of British aristocrats and burns them alive, not leaving a single evidence. The only connection between the crimes – suspicious love letters addressed to the wives of the victims. The last goal of the instigator was sir Malcolm Marsden, but he managed to escape from the fire, and he temporarily went to Cape cod with his family to escape persecution. Mulder and Scully visit expert-pyrotechnics, who informs them that only the rocket fuel burns so much, to destroy the traces of their origin.

Mulder tells Scully that Phoebe once broke his heart, now manipulating him, and confesses that he is madly afraid of fire. Meanwhile, lively is killing the caretaker of a house in Cape cod that took off Marsden, and sometimes covers the building "Altiplano" – a substance containing the elements of rocket fuel. Posing as a supervisor by the name Bob, he welcomed the arrivals of British and later makes friends with the children of the couple, and about the driver offers to bring cough medicine from the city. He's here in town for no apparent reason burns down local bar, demonstrating an obvious ability to pyrokinesis.

At the hospital Mulder, Scully and green questioned the witness to the incident in a bar who says that the arsonist was a strong English accent. The driver Mardanov getting worse because of the cough syrup, in which Cecil allegedly slipped "artipoli," and Mrs. Marsden asks lively to accompany them to a dinner party in Boston. At the request of the green Mulder flies to Boston hoping to arrange for the suspect a trap, while Scully forms a psychological profile of the arsonist, making the conclusion that he kills rich men beautiful women because of his own sexual frustration.

At the party green and Mulder dancing in the lobby, and then kiss in front of the new arrivals Scully, who, turning away, says in the hallway watching her lively. A few seconds later the fire alarm is activated: on the floor, on which there are children Mardanov, the fire started. Mulder tries to save the boys, but because of its pyrophobia and heavy smoke loses consciousness. Child saves "Bob". When Mulder wakes up, Scully informs him of the results of its investigation. Green says that the driver Mardanov who saved children, working at the couple for 8 years and is above suspicion. Phoebe also reports that Marsden the next day back to England, and she will accompany them.

Scully discusses his findings with Mulder suspecting that the new English immigrant named Cecil lively is the attacker. Based on the description given to hospitalized visitor to the burnt bar, is the police sketch of the suspect. Mulder gets to the house Mardanov, knowing that their driver is the arsonist. He ran into the house, the agent finds Phoebe and sir Marsden kissing on the stairs. In the bathroom, found the charred body of the driver. When it comes to the sketch, the agents know what to suspect should the inspector, who is currently upstairs with the children. Lively is facing the corridor of the second floor and set fire to it in front of Mulder. Agent, overcoming their pyrophobia, finds the strength to save the children, while the lively descends to the first floor. Scully keeps a gun on him, but he warns that the flash from a shot can ignite the house. Phoebe out of the corner throws the mug "Altiplano" Cecil in the face. Lively runs out into the garden, where it ignites spontaneously and shouting "you can't fire to kill the fire!" the charred falls to the ground.

Phoebe returned to England, while Scully over reports that the recovery of lively moves unusually fast, and soon he will appear before the court. When the nurse asks lying in the hospital lively than a to help him, he asks to bring a cigarette.
