Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Evidently inspired by the film noir classic D.O.A., the January 17, 1999, X-Files episode "S.R. 819" finds Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) racing against time to solve a murder -- his own. While working out in a gym, Skinner is somehow infected with a freakish blood disease. Investigating, Mulder and Scully unearth a conspiracy involving a world health bill called Senate Resolution 819. Written by John Shiban, "S.R. 819" also brought a familiar X-Files villain back into the fold.
