Young At Heart
Mulder is called in by his ex-boss to investigate an armed robbery. The robber murdered the clerk and left a note threatening Mulder, the MO of the criminal in Mulder's first case. However, that criminal was arrested and later died in jail. For some reason, Mulder feels guilty about arresting the criminal instead of shooting him in the back. Now, in typical mediocre thriller fashion, the convict is back for revenge on the man who arrested him.
By strange co-incidence, there is an X-Files element to the case. While in prison, the convict was illegally experimented on by a mad doctor. Deep Throat and Cancer Man make appearances, intent on buying the medical secrets for Uncle Sam.

When Scully's ex-Instructor is revived in hospital, he has the memories and personality of the dead robber. The only person who notices is Mulder, who is assisting the follow-up investigation.
Of note, the robber's brother-in-law is played by Callum Keith Rennie [ BSG 2003].
