MULDER AND SCULLY MAY FINALLY HAVE PROOF OF REINCARNATION IN THEIR HANDS WHEN AN EXECUTED KILLER SEEMS TO BE MAKING GOOD ON A PROMISE TO COME BACK FOR REVENGE.
Napoleon "Neech" Manley has been on Florida's Death Row more than eleven years, but tonight his imprisonment comes to an end--in the electric chair. From the chair, he vows to come back and wreak vengeance on his enemies. Only a fellow prisoner knows who is on Manley's enemies list--and he's not talking. When a guard dies mysteriously a few days later, Mulder and Scully are asked to help determine the cause of death. When another guard is murdered in grisly circumstances, Mulder begins to wonder if perhaps Manley is as good as his word, and has returned from the grave. Scully, convinced that a more earthly conspiracy is playing out, argues
that the guards themselves are in on the murders. A growing pile of maggot-riddled corpses, a deceptive wife, and a hulking prison guard all hide secrets to the mysterious series of deaths, but in the end only the Warden discovers the full truth of Neech Manley's final words.
Notes
This episode seems to be a homage to Wes Craven's movie "Shocker" as they have both a similar plotline AND Mitch Pileggi, who plays Skinner (not seen in this ep). Mitch was in the movie "Shocker".
The prison set here is used again in season finale, "Talitha Cumi".
