GROTESQUE

                             So what is it Mulder.....Little green men.....evil spirits....hounds of hell........

A group of artists draw a nude model, except for one, John Mostow, who draws a gargoyle instead. As the model leaves later that night he is attacked and murdered. The FBI soon arrests Mostow for the murder, finding a bloody razor at his home. Mostow, an immigrant from the Soviet Union after spending time in a mental institution is suspected of murdering seven people. Mostow insists that he was possessed when the murders occurred. Mulder joins the investigation after another murder occurs after Mostow's arrest. Mostow draws a gargoyle and claims that it was what killed the victims. Mulder meets with Bill Patterson, his former mentor, who spent three years on the case. The two no longer get along, with Patterson skeptical of Mulder's theories. Later Mulder heads to Mostow's studio, finding corpses within his sculptures.

Another murder occurs. Another agent on the case, Nemhauser tells Scully that Patterson may have been responsible for getting Mulder on the case and that he may admire him after all. Patterson finds Mulder in the library studying gargoyles and tells him he's wasting his time and is a dissappointment to him. Scully heads to Mulder's apartment finding the place covered with gargoyle drawings. Mulder awakens in Mostow's studio and chases a figure in the darkness that slashes at him with a blade. Mulder tells Scully of the attack but refuses to admit why he was staying in Mostow's studio. Scully confronts Patterson who tells her to let Mulder continue to do what he's doing. Mulder goes to see Mostow again who won't tell him how to find the creature that attacked him.

Scully finds a blade at the latest crime scene with Mulder's prints on it and finds the murder weapon missing from the evidence room. She meets with Assistant Director Skinner who is also worried about Mulder's behavior. Mulder has a nightmare and wakes up in Mostow's studio again, finding a new murder victim there. Scully calls Nemhauser, but his phone is answered by Mulder. Mulder denies taking the knife. He searches Mostow's studio and finds Nemhauser's body under another sculpture. Mulder now believes that Patterson is the killer due to his three year obsession with Mostow and that he requested Mulder join the case so he could stop him. Mulder confronts him, but Patterson flees when Scully arrives. Mulder pursues him and the two fight. Patterson is shot and apprehended. He is jailed for the murders, despite claiming innocence
