"Squeeze" is a 1993 episode of The X-Files television series. It was the third episode aired in the show's first season, and only the second to be produced after the pilot. "Squeeze" was the first "monster-of-the-week" episode of the series, as the prior two episodes had dealt with alien abduction and UFOs.
"Squeeze" concerns a series of serial murders in the Baltimore area, and a human mutant with the ability to squeeze into small spaces. The episode features the first of two appearances by one of The X-Files' most popular "monsters" (and one of only three to appear twice), Eugene Victor Tooms, who reprises the role later in the season in "Tooms". "Squeeze" was also the first of dozens of episodes of the series to be written by Glen Morgan and James Wong.

[edit] Plot
Mulder and Scully investigate a series of murders where there appears to be no tangible method for the murderer's entrance and escape. Eugene Victor Tooms, a seemingly normal animal welfare official, is suspected by Mulder to be a mutant who kills his victims and extracts their livers in order to prolong his existence.
