Stolen Station Wagon Of A Mutual Desire To Stick It To The Man. So Crump as assumed the position in the backseat and he's in pain. He tells Mulder to go faster and Mulder tells him that he's already going 70mph. Crump tells him to go faster and as Mulder speeds up, Crump feels a little better and tries to apologize. "Hey, uh... The Jew stuff? No offense. I mean, uh... A man can't help who he's born to." Mulder is unimpressed with the attempted apology. "Gee, I don't know if I can see to drive my eyes are tearing up so bad." Sidebar: Mulder's not Jewish! Why doesn't Mulder just start telling Crump some stories about NYC, the Yankees, and Yale University? Geez. So Crump wants to know why Mulder's helping him. My guess would be because you held a gun to his head? Sounds reasonable. Mulder doesn't think it's a good idea to question that. Then Crump decides to get paranoid. "How do I know you ain't doing exactly what they want you to? Hmm? Driving me all around creation, experimenting on me... How do I know it ain't that?" Hey, Crump? You're the one who jumped out of an ambulance and hijacked Mulder's car. And then you threw his cell phone out the window, cutting off his contact with the outside world. And you're the one making him drive faster and head west. Driving all over creation is totally your fault, dude. So Crump then says that he's not really accusing Mulder but it would be better to just kill a man than to take his dignity away by experimenting on him. Yeah, just ask Duane Barry. Mulder then encourages him to stay alive so he can stick it to the government. Mulder says that they'll figure it out. Crump says that he'd better figure it out because they're "running out of west." We are then greeted by a sign reading: Welcome to California! Gateway to the Pacific and the New Home of 1013 Productions!

Naval Base Of Poorly Impersonated FCC Employees. Scully is having a powwow with a navy lieutenant and on the wall are the words "Project Seafarer" in large letters. Scully introduces herself to Lieutenant Breil and says that she called regarding the electrical equipment the navy has stashed in Montello. Breil says something about a miscommunication with her Washington office. Scully's like, "Uh...?" Breil was under the impression that he'd already explained the situation to the FCC. Scully's all, "Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry to make you run through it again, uh... For my official report to the, uh... To the FCC." Scully's a terrible liar and I can't believe this guy can't see right through her. So Breil tells her that a testing of their ground radio system caused a power surge and interrupted television reception in the area, but they've made sure that it won't happen again. Scully asks if that ground radio thing is Project Seafarer. Breil tells her that's classified. "Would you happen to know what effect such a surge might have on, uh... On an organism... Say, a... Say, a human being? Theoretically speaking." Breil tells her that theoretically speaking, that's classified.

Stolen Station Wagon Of Phone Calls With Exhausting Exposition. So some cops on motorcycles pull up behind Mulder and hand him a cell phone. It's Scully calling.

Scully: You ok?

Mulder: I'm dying without my cell phone here and I gotta piss like a race horse.

Scully: I'm hopping on a really expensive government jet and I'm gonna fly right over you.

Mulder: Where?

Scully: You're the one driving there, buddy.

Mulder: Then wherever the road ends but we can't stop and I have no idea what to do.

Scully: I kind of have a theory about what's happening.

Mulder: You mind getting to the point?

Scully: You know what ELF waves are?

Mulder: Big antenna used by military to communicate with submarines.

Scully: Crump's got an antenna array on his property and those transmissions can alter stuff in the body.

Mulder: It can be used as a weapon, too.

Scully: What if a hum from an antenna could mess up the inside of someone's skull and make their inner ear explode?

Mulder: But movement relieves the pressure. Why only westward movement?

Scully: Because California will save Crump! California is all that is good and true in this world! And I hear that 1013 Productions relocated a really awesome show that thrived on dark and moody atmosphere to one of the sunniest places on earth that's home to a megalomaniacal creator/writer/producer/director and happy cows.

Mulder: Um... how can we keep Crump's head from exploding?

Scully: There is one solution and he's not going to like it.
