6X02: DRIVE

< PREVIOUS

Mulder's Hijacked Sensible Rental Car. Crump's got his gun on Mulder and after a minute the police cars pull back. Crump's yelling into the phone to be left alone. Hey! That rhymed. Mulder then tries to convince Crump to let him go too, because he "must be cramping [his] style." Crump tells him to shut up and then he looks at Mulder's badge. "It's you people. Figures." Mulder's all, Huh? Crump tells him to shut up. Mulder's cell phone starts ringing and then Crump throws it out the window. Mulder spazzes. "Hey! No! That is... so stupid, Crump. That is so stupid." I think Mulder's about to lapse into catatonic schizophrenia. Crump is not down with Mulder's aggro. "You shut up and drive... Hey I kind of like that song. [singing]Get you where you wanna go if you know what I mean. Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine. Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights? If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night. Goes from 0 to 60 in three point five. Baby, you got the keys. Now shut up and drive (Drive Drive Drive) Shut up and drive (Drive Drive Drive)[/singing]. While Crump's practicing for his upcoming American Idol audition, Mulder stops behind a U-haul truck. Crump starts screaming in pain and wants to know what Mulder's doing. "I'm composing a sonnet," Mulder cracks. "I'm slowing down for a light." Crump's yelling for him to go and then he starts passing out. Mulder decides to speed his way through the intersection, nearly killing himself and several innocent civilians. Mulder then asks Crump if this is what happened to his wife. "If you stop moving, you die? I think I saw this movie." Me, too. And it was awesome. Keanu Reeves: Call me! Mulder asks Crump why he didn't tell the police and then says that "[Crump's] life is in [his] hands regardless of whether or not [Crump holds] that gun." Crump the waves said gun all macho manly. Mulder then tells Crump that he may be able to help him. "You people put me here!" Crump shouts. Mulder tells him about the roadblock up ahead and points out the helicopter following them. Crump is clearly afraid of stopping. The police and CDC are at the roadblock. People are in their decontamination suits. The police chopper informs them that Crump's turned off the highway and is heading north. He's going to miss the roadblock. Dude in a decon suit: "Say what?"

Quarantined Autopsy Bay Of Exploded Eardrums And Dreaded Phone Calls. Scully's on the phone with the captain and she asks him what's going on. He tells her that they lost Mulder and Crump in a heavily forested road and the chopper lost them. Are there forests in Nevada? I was not aware of that (Ed. Note: There totally are. I live in Nevada. None anywhere near Elko, but there are some near Lake Tahoe. Just… FYI. – Starbucket). Scully wonders how Crump knew to avoid the roadblock. The captain says that he was hoping Mulder would've steered him towards it. Scully then guesses that Mulder steered him away from it because maybe he knows something. They hang up and Scully turns to a doctor in a decon suit who's been looking at cell cultures from the second victim in a microscope. There is no evidence of any kind of infection in this victim or in Vicky. Scully still wonders what could've killed these people. Then Scully's phone rings and some lady tells her to hold for Kersh. This is clearly the last thing Scully wanted to hear. " Agent Scully. How is Southern Idaho? Agent Scully? Southern Idaho? Think carefully." The wheels in Scully's head are turning. She then concedes the truth and tells him that after they wrapped up their business in Idaho they went to Nevada to look into a case they felt needed their attention. "I eagerly await your report. In the meantime, agents of our Las Vegas field office will be available to assist you in tracking down Agent Mulder." Scully thanks him. "Oh, Agent Scully... I think, at this point I want to see him alive even more than you do." Kersh then hangs up and goes back to his Level Moderate Sudoku puzzle. Scully looks at the chart on the second victim and sees that he was a meter reader and wonders if he read the meter at the Crump's place.

Mulder's Hijacked Sensible Rental Car Of Confused Lineage. Mulder asks Crump what he knows about whatever is happening to him. "Mr. Crump. You call me by my last name, you say "mister" in front of it." Mulder is not in the mood to discuss semantics with Crump. "I can think of something else I'd like to call you. I could put "mister" in front of that, too if you'd like." Crump then asks Mulder if his name is Jewish. Mulder seems affronted, God knows why. I'm pretty sure he's Christian and the name Mulder is Dutch, or something like that. Is this because Duchovny is part Jewish and the show can't seem to separate him from his character? Yeah, that's probably it. "It's Mr. Mulder to you, you peanut-picking bastard. Now, Mr. Crump what can you tell me about what's happening to you?" Crump then starts screaming in pain and tells Mulder that he's going the WRONG WAY! Mulder then turns left, nearly killing more innocent civilians, and Crump starts to feel better. "It's west. Huh, west? You got to head west. It's just like you did with your wife. You took her and you headed west. It's not just motion; it has to be in one direction. Is that right?" That's right! By God, in order to live he must go west!
