AN OLD FLAME OF MULDER'S BRINGS HIM A CASE INVOLVING A MAN WHO MAY BE SETTING FIRES AT A DISTANCE -- WITH HIS MIND.

A British peer burns to death before the eyes of his horrified family, and a Scotland Yard inspector, a former girlfriend of Mulder's, tracks the killer to the U.S. Enlisting Mulder's aid (and rekindling some flames of her own), she seeks an arsonist who seems to be able to light fires at a distance. Although Mulder tries to keep her out of the case, Scully tracks down the clues to the killer's identity as well as some chilling background information. Mulder must confront his own fear of fire as he and Scully track down a devilishly clever killer whose weapon may be pyrokinesis.

Notes

The first victim's name is Sir Malcolm Mardsen, the same as the hair stylist for "The X-Files".

 

Quotes

Mulder: "That's weird. I was sure I locked it."

Scully: "Must be an X-File."

Mulder: "I was merely extending her a professional courtesy."

Scully: "Oh, is *that* what you were extending?"

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Ten to one you can't dance to it."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "So Sherlock, is the game afoot."

Mulder: "I'm afraid so Watson."

Phoebe: "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you left your sense of humor in Oxford ten years ago."

Mulder: "No, actually, that's one of the things you didn't manage to drive a stake through."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Mulder, you just keep unfolding like a flower."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Dana Scully, this is Phoebe Green. The terror of Scotland Yard."

Scully: "Hello."

Phoebe: (whispering in Mulder's ear) "She hates me."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: (as Phoebe) "Care to take me to lunch?"

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "So she shows up knowing the power she has over you and then she makes you walk through fire."

Mulder: "Phoebe IS fire."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Oh, I forgot what it was like to spend a day in court."

Mulder: "That's one of the luxuries of hunting down aliens and genetic mutants. You rarely get to press charges."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Can I meet you somewhere?"

Mulder: "No, it's just that I'm kind of anticipating having my hands full."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "Doesn't look like your arsonist is going to make an appearance."

Phoebe: "That doesn't mean there won't be any fires, you know."

____________________________________________________________

Cecil: "Time to call 911."

____________________________________________________________

Nurse: "Can I get you anything, sir?"

Cecil: "I'm just dying for a cigarette."

The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest is held ever year at San Jose State
Univ. by Professor Scott Rice. It is held in memory of Edward George
Earle Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather prolific and popular (in his
time) novelist. He is best known today for having written "The Last
Days of Pompeii."

Whenever Snoopy starts typing his novel from the top of his doghouse,
beginning "It was a dark and stormy night..." he is borrowing from Lord
Bulwer-Lytton. This was the line that opened his novel, "Paul Clifford,"
written in 1830. The full line reveals why it is so bad:

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents -- except
at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of
wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene
lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty
flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
