| The sewage system on a Russian cargo ship off the coast of New Jersey is blocked. A crew member examines the tank and is pulled into the tank by an unknown being. His disfigured body was days later in the sewers of Newark found. Mulder gets the case assigned by Skinner and initially thinks it is some kind of punishment. In the evening, Mulder meets with Scully and tells her that he plans to leave the FBI to continue his studies in the direction of extraterrestrial life. Scully performs the autopsy on the dead man and finds a tattoo in Cyrillic and a worm on his back. A sewer worker is pulled underwater in Newark, but is rescued by his colleagues. He thinks he was attacked by a python . He undergoes a medical examination in Mulder's presence, and a strange bite wound is found on his back. Scully informs Mulder of their find and it turns out that the bite wounds on the sewer worker exactly match a suction worm, even though the mouth of a normal worm is considerably smaller. Mulder gets a phone call from a stranger telling him that he has a friend in the FBI. During the night, the sewer worker coughs the worm out of himself and dies in the process. Mulder visits a sewage treatment plant and finds a human-like creature there that has a mouth that exactly matches the bite wounds. Scully receives a newspaper through which she succeeds in identifying the dead sailor and also looks at the human-like being that Mulder discovered. Mulder thinks that the sewer worker's death could have been avoided if the X-Files were still open. The unknown being is supposed to be brought to a clinic, but it escapes on the way there. It hides in a camping toilet and then flushes into a waste water tank on a truck . Mulder receives another call, believing Scully may have informed people of his plans, but she says no. The creature is back at the sewage treatment plant and Scully says the worm Mulder found is a larva. An employee of the facility is attacked by the being, but Mulder is able to save him by closing a sewer grate and dividing the being in the middle. Scully believes that the creature on board the Russian ship that was hauling used materials from Chernobyl came to the United States and was made in a "soup" of radioactive waste. However, flukes have regenerative abilities and the remains of the creature in the sewers appear to be still alive. | |||||||

Blame it, according to her, on the animal rights activists who are known to free animals. The leader of the animal rights activists, Kyle Lang, denies having anything to do with the disappearance of the elephant. Lang said the Malawian government charged Ambrose with kidnapping a gorilla 10 years ago. According to Frohike and Byers, Fairfield is known for animal disappearances, but also for UFO sightings. The gorilla in Ambrose's zoo speaks American sign language . Scully follows an animal rights activist to the zoo. The activist wants to release a tiger , but when a bright light flashes the tiger has disappeared, but the activist is torn to pieces. The agents get to know the gorilla, named Sophie, and realize that the animal is scared. Scully examines the dead elephant and finds that it was pregnant. The tiger reappears at a construction site in Boise and is shot by Meecham while attacking Ambrose. The zoo closes and it is discovered that the tiger was also pregnant. Mulder has the theory that aliens impregnate the animals and are following some kind of Noah's Ark plan. Sophie was pregnant too, but the baby had already been abducted. Sophie is supposed to return to Malawi and Ambrose seeks help from Lang, who does not want to help. When Lang tries to visit Ambrose in the warehouse, where Sophie is also, he only finds the empty cage. He is killed by a falling box. However, Scully discovers that Lang was killed by a drover and suspects Ambrose, who in turn believes Meecham is suspect. Mulder wants to arrest Meecham, who is hiding Sophie in another warehouse. In her fear, Sophie attacks and injures Mulder, then the bright light reappears and Sophie is gone. Ambrose and the agents are called to the highway , where Sophie was hit by a car and killed. Meecham and Ambrose are charged, but Mulder still believes that aliens are behind what happened. | |||||||

| Chaos breaks out on the USS Ardent in the Norwegian Sea. Parts of the crew refuse to obey the captain. 18 hours later the ship is sighted by a Canadian fishing boat, the young crew members of the Ardent seem to have aged by many years. Scully and Mulder visit the crew's only survivor who is quarantined in a military hospital. The man is very old. Mulder says the ship disappeared at the 65th parallel , where many ships have already disappeared. He also believes that there was a fold in time and that the Ardent was part of a government experiment similar to the Philadelphia experiment from the Second World War. In Norway, Scully and Mulder meet Henry Trondheim, who is supposed to take them to the last known position of the Ardent. You eventually find the ship, which appears completely rusted despite being only a few years old. Below deck they encounter numerous mummified remains of the crew. They also meet the aged commanding officer of the Ardent Captain Barcley, who says that the ship "lost time" after seeing a bright light in the ocean. Trondheim's boat is stolen and his partner is murdered. Trondheim is later attacked by the Norwegian whaler Olafsson, who has not aged although he has been on board the ship for two days. Trondheim, Scully and Mulder age unnaturally in the meantime. Scully suspects that the Ardent lies near a large metallic object under the ocean, creating free radicals that age bodies quickly. Only the sewer pipe is not corroded, which should mean that something from the ocean has contaminated the drinking water of the Ardent. Olaffson was therefore not affected by the aging process, as he only consumed the recycled wastewater. Trondheim releases Olafsson because he believes he will help him survive. Scully investigates why bodies age and also notices that Trondheim is trying to hold back the water. Trondheim therefore closes itself in part of the ship. Due to the corrosion, the ship can no longer withstand the pressure of the water, the first leaks occur and as a result Trondheim dies from water entering. Scully and Mulder lose consciousness, but are rescued by a military unit shortly before the ship sinks. Based on Scully's notes, she and Mulder can be treated accordingly. | |||||||
