The Squeezing

The Squeezing is the third episode of The X-Files (2014 Series). "The Squeezing" was written by and directed by Joss Whedon. The episode featured the first of two guest appearances by Andrew Garfield as the mutant serial killer Eugene Victor Tooms, a role he would reprise in "Tooms". "The Squeeze" is the first "monster-of-the-week" episode of The X-Files, a stand-alone plot which is unconnected to the series' overarching mythology.

Plot
In Baltimore, businessman George Usher arrives at his office building. He is watched from a storm drain by someone who then sneaks into the building by climbing through the elevator shaft into the ventilation system, and kills Usher by removing his liver. The investigation into Usher's murder—the latest of three such killings—is assigned to careerist FBI agent Tom Colton (Idris Elba), who turns to academy colleague Dana Scully (Karen Gillan) for help.
