Season 4, Episode 3: “Teliko”

About this Episode

It *might* be vampires, sort of...?

After a black man is found dead with his skin turned white by what the CDC believes is an unknown pathogen, Scully is asked to look into it. Mulder joins Scully and begins to think there’s no disease at all, but rather a monster from African folklore sucking the melanin out of its victims.
