Accompanied by new partner Peyton Ritter (Richard Ruccolo), Scully investigates the incredibly good luck of crime-scene photographer Alfred Fellig (Geoffrey Lewis). No matter where a murder has occurred, Fellig is always the first man on the scene, forever out-scooping his competition. Scully suspects that Fellig may well be drumming up his own business by killing his "models." Written by Vince Gilligan, "Tithonus" -- a designation which, like many other X-Files episode titles, makes sense only in context -- first aired January 24, 1999.
