Two muggers are found dead in a back alley of Philadelphia after robbing a woman, Lauren Kyte at an automated teller machine (ATM). Mulder and Scully investigate the case when called in by a pair of agents from an unknown agency. The bodies of the terrorists are found to have an electrical charge and their throats have been crushed from the inside. Lauren sees her boss, Robert Dorlan, and resigns due to her grief over the suicide of Dorlan's partner, Howard Graves, who committed suicide weeks before.
Mulder and Scully determine that one of the bodies is an individual who belongs to a terrorist group, the Isfahan, and using the ATM video are able to track down Lauren. A screenshot of the video reveals a blurry figure who appears like Howard Graves. The agents meet with Lauren at her home and after initially denying it, she admits to the incident but knows nothing about the murders. Upon leaving, the agents find their car going out of control on its own. The car is found to have no evidence of tampering, but an electrical charge is detected within it.
Visiting Graves' grave, Mulder and Scully learn of his suicide and the death of his daughter at a young age, a daughter that would be Lauren's age should she be alive. Scully suspects that Graves faked his death, but through a conversation with the medical examiner who examined his body and testing the organs he donated to others it is proved that he indeed died. Lauren meanwhile witnesses a vision at night including blood appearing in the bathtub, causing her to believe that Graves was murdered. At her going away party, Lauren is threatened by Dorlan, who believes she has knowledge of confidential information that could implicate him. Lauren calls Mulder and Scully to her home, but before the agents arrive two assassins hired by Dorlan arrive to kill her. An invisible force kills both of them.
Lauren is interrogated by Mulder and Scully, and the two unknown agents that called them in, who say they are involved because they believe Graves and Dorlan's company sold technology to the Isfahan. Lauren admits to Mulder and Scully that the sales did indeed take place and that she believes Dorlan had Graves killed. The agents search the company's premises, but are unable to find any evidence. When Dorlan attacks Lauren with a letter opener Graves's spirit takes it and cuts open the wallpaper, revealing a disc with evidence. Weeks later Lauren starts her new job, but it appears that Graves's spirit may have followed her there.
