Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Investigating the murder of the father-in-law of a prominent surgeon, Mulder and Scully have only one clue to go on: the word "Theef," hastily scrawled in blood at the scene of the crime. At first, the two agents assume that the killer had misspelled the word "thief." But all bets are off when an autopsy reveals that the victim was going progressively insane -- and that just before his death, he evinced an unhealthy interest in the occult. Written by Vince Gilligan, John Shiban, and Frank Spotnitz, "Theef" was first telecast on March 12, 2000.
