A prisoner on death row, Neech Manley, is about to be executed in the electric chair.

Strapped in he says, for his last words, that he will come back to life to seek revenge on five men that have treated him horribly over the years. The lever is pulled and Manley is no more and everyone dismisses what he said until a guard dies in mysterious circumstances. Mulder and Scully come in to investigate, and get their hands on the list of men that Neech wants to kill. No one can stop Neech though as he carries on killing leaving the agents thinking whether reincarnation could actually be real.
