1. We interrupt this program
for a breaking news bulletin.Copy !req
2. 90 miles and counting—
that's how far officers—Copy !req
3. of the Nevada highway patrol have pursued
the blue car on your screen.Copy !req
4. In a wild chase right through the heart of Elko
at speeds approaching 100 miles an hour.Copy !req
5. Live on the scene in Carlin is
Chuck Pickering in the Fox 11 news chopper.Copy !req
6. Chuck, what can you tell us?Copy !req
7. Benjamin, we're heading west following
route 766, where it feeds off the I-80.Copy !req
8. Now, just under an hour ago, troopers
attempted to pull over the blue car—Copy !req
9. which we understand is stolen.Copy !req
10. That occurred on the 80, east of Wells.Copy !req
11. Now, since then, this driver
has stopped for nothing and nobody.Copy !req
12. Any word yet on who the driver is?Copy !req
13. None at this time.Copy !req
14. What we do think, though and what
we've passed on to the Highway Patrol—Copy !req
15. is that from our vantage point
we've seen another person in that car.Copy !req
16. See, right there.
A hand.Copy !req
17. It just moved.
See, in the back seat?Copy !req
18. Now, we could possibly
have a hostage situation here.Copy !req
19. And, obviously, the sooner
they bring this vehicle to a stop...Copy !req
20. Unit six, ready at milepost 13.Copy !req
21. Coming your way, six.Copy !req
22. Well, that did the trick.Copy !req
23. The automobile seems to be coming to a stop.Copy !req
24. Chuck, what did they just use there?Copy !req
25. It looked to be
a special tire-puncturing chain.Copy !req
26. And now the officers
are approaching the car.Copy !req
27. One of them has opened the door,
and he has hold of the suspect.Copy !req
28. He's pulling him out.
He doesn't seem to have a weapon.Copy !req
29. He may not be armed
but from our vantage point,Copy !req
30. it looks like he doesn't
want to get out of that car.Copy !req
31. Vicky!
Vicky!Copy !req
32. Please get it out of my head.Copy !req
33. Vicky! Vicky!
No! Let me go!Copy !req
34. Let me go! Vicky!
No! Let me go!Copy !req
35. I got to go!
Vicky! No!Copy !req
36. Hostage appears to be okay.
The Highway Patrol has her now.Copy !req
37. But Chuck, it looks like
that driver is still fighting.Copy !req
38. Yes.
He's definitely putting up a bit of a fight.Copy !req
39. He seems to be a man with a few choice
words on the subject as you can see.Copy !req
40. They're trying to restrain him.
I tell you what.Copy !req
41. We're going to move back
and try to get a wider angle.Copy !req
42. See, there's the woman...Copy !req
43. What the hell?
She's...Copy !req
44. Vicky! Vicky!Copy !req
45. There, see?Copy !req
46. She's banging her head
against the window.Copy !req
47. - What the hell just happened?
- CUT! CUT! CUT!Copy !req
48. Yeah?Copy !req
49. Uh, Virgil Nokes?
I'm Agent Scully.Copy !req
50. This is Agent Mulder.
We're with the F.B.I.Copy !req
51. Jehovah's Witness?Copy !req
52. No, sir.
Federal Bureau of Investigation.Copy !req
53. But we do have a free copy
of "The Watchtower" for you if you'd like.Copy !req
54. Uh, sir, this is just
a routine check but, uh,Copy !req
55. we understand that
you recently placedan order for...Copy !req
56. 5,000 pounds of ammonium
nitrate fertilizer.Copy !req
57. Oh, you people.
Come on in.Copy !req
58. - Sugar beets.
- Excuse me?Copy !req
59. I grow sugar beets.Copy !req
60. I figure I got better things
to do with my fertilizer than going...Copy !req
61. around blowing government
buildings sky high.Copy !req
62. Yeah. Well, as we said,
sir this is just routine.Copy !req
63. So routine, it numbs the mind.Copy !req
64. I got my AG card and my papers
'round here somewhere.Copy !req
65. Help me look for them, will you?Copy !req
66. As we reported earlier
a wild police pursuit...Copy !req
67. ended in tragedy this morning with the death
of a 36-year-old female hostage.Copy !req
68. This was the scene west of Elko,
Nevada, one hour ago...Copy !req
69. - Hey, Scully, take a look at this.
- ... died mysteriously while in custody.Copy !req
70. We once again want to warn our viewers
this footage is extremely graphic.Copy !req
71. Now the hostage is still inside the car.Copy !req
72. It appears that she is banging
her head against the window...Copy !req
73. At this time, highway patrol
officials are refusing...Copy !req
74. to identify the woman
or to speculate on how she died.Copy !req
75. Though they do stress it was
not the result of a gunshot.Copy !req
76. A preliminary Coroner's report
is not expected for a day or more.Copy !req
77. Meanwhile residents of
Northern Nevada who first witnessed...Copy !req
78. Thank you, Captain. That's no problem.
We'd be happy to help.Copy !req
79. - Mm-hmm.
- We'll be happy to help what?Copy !req
80. See you soon.Copy !req
81. Mulder, we're not going to Nevada.Copy !req
82. Come on, Scully.
Just one quick side trip.Copy !req
83. No. Sorry, Mulder.
We have a whole new assignment.Copy !req
84. Running down people that buy fertilizer?
This is scut work, bozo work—Copy !req
85. This is the F.B.I. equivalent of being made
to wear an orange jumpsuit...Copy !req
86. and pick up trash by the side
of the highway— they mean to humiliate us.Copy !req
87. Look, Mulder, like it or not,
humiliated or not,Copy !req
88. we're on domestic
terrorism now and, yes, this is...Copy !req
89. This is a punishment...Copy !req
90. but if we want to get back to where
we want to be we have to follow orders.Copy !req
91. We can't freelance.Copy !req
92. You saw that news report.
What did you make of that?Copy !req
93. I think that the obvious assumption
is that the woman was shot,Copy !req
94. regardless of what the police say.
Maybe it was a sniper.Copy !req
95. In the words of their captain
"she just sort of popped."Copy !req
96. And what about this guy who supposedly
tried to take her hostage, her husband?Copy !req
97. Looked to me like he was trying to warn the cops before she died.Copy !req
98. Now, the sun will rise
in America tomorrow regardless of whether...Copy !req
99. or not we're at yet another farm investigating
yet another enormous pile of doo-doo.Copy !req
100. We can be in and out in a day.
Nobody has to know.Copy !req
101. S-s-somebody!Copy !req
102. Please!Copy !req
103. It's starting!Copy !req
104. Somebody!Copy !req
105. Why can't we see him?Copy !req
106. Well, hopefully later.
He pitched quite a fit in his cell—Copy !req
107. screaming a bunch of nonsense that we were
going to kill him the way we killed his wife.Copy !req
108. You know, he's not
a particularly stable individual.Copy !req
109. Captain, he may need medical attention.Copy !req
110. He's getting it.
Our doctor's with him now.Copy !req
111. I mean, after whatever
happened to his wife—Copy !req
112. which I'd like to stress was not our fault—Copy !req
113. we're not going
to take any chances, you know?Copy !req
114. Patrick Garland Crump of Montello, Nevada.Copy !req
115. 40-year-old roofer.
No history of mental illness.Copy !req
116. No prior record.Copy !req
117. He's got one now.Copy !req
118. That Barracuda he jacked
on the Utah state line?Copy !req
119. He yanked some teenager out of
the window threw his wife in back and took off.Copy !req
120. Excuse me.Copy !req
121. What do you think?Copy !req
122. I'm thinking while we're here
I might take a look at Mr. Crump's wife.Copy !req
123. I'm going to stay here
and see if I can see Crump.Copy !req
124. Captain, where's Montello?Copy !req
125. Little town right here.Copy !req
126. So that's where it started.
That's Crump's home.Copy !req
127. Then he headed east in this direction...Copy !req
128. on the 5 about ten miles
to the Utah border where he stole the car.Copy !req
129. You got it.Copy !req
130. Yeah, but you caught up
with him in Wells. Where's that?Copy !req
131. - That's here.
- So that means that he started...Copy !req
132. off in this direction. Then all of a sudden,
he turned around and he headed west...Copy !req
133. To Wells. Why?Copy !req
134. The former Vicky Jenkins Crump.Copy !req
135. I'm hoping you can tell me what I'm
looking at 'cause this is a new one on me.Copy !req
136. There's no gunpowder residue...Copy !req
137. No carbon stippling.Copy !req
138. There seems to be no evidence
of an entry wound whatsoever.Copy !req
139. There is none.
It's all exit, but how that could be...?Copy !req
140. I'm finding what look like fragments
of petrous bone embedded...Copy !req
141. in the remaining portion of the auditory canal.Copy !req
142. In fact, I seem to be looking straight through
to the osseous labyrinth or what's left of it.Copy !req
143. It's almost like a little bomb
went off in her ear.Copy !req
144. - May I?
- Please.Copy !req
145. There seems to be some kind
of tumefaction within the lateral sinus.Copy !req
146. Patient is a white male,
age 40, no known history...Copy !req
147. No, he just went rammy on me.Copy !req
148. Accucheck is normal.
We did a narcan push...Copy !req
149. but he keeps getting worse.
Okay. I.V. beta blocker and topical nitro.Copy !req
150. I don't know if you're going
to get to talk to this fella after all.Copy !req
151. Five's a crowd, buddy.Copy !req
152. Whoa. Something must have worked.
Heart rate's dropping.Copy !req
153. BP's headed south.
I don't understand; what'd you just do?Copy !req
154. Hell if I know but I'll take it.Copy !req
155. Oh, God.
Come on, Mulder.Copy !req
156. Hey, you, out!
This lab is quarantined. Go!Copy !req
157. - Mulder?
- Yeah.Copy !req
158. Mulder, it's me.Copy !req
159. You know how to pick them, I'll tell you that.Copy !req
160. Look, I have no idea what killed this woman
but I have to assume it's communicable.Copy !req
161. Yeah.Copy !req
162. Another body has been found
just outside of Montello—Copy !req
163. same apparent cause of death—
some kind of massive aneurysm or rupture.Copy !req
164. - Uh-huh.
- And Mulder, I've called the C.D.C.Copy !req
165. They're on their way
but Patrick Crump may be infected.Copy !req
166. So you need to quarantine
his cell and make sure that anybody...Copy !req
167. who's had any close contact with him
whatsoever has been quarantined as well,Copy !req
168. and that means you, Mulder.
You're to have no contact with him whatsoever.Copy !req
169. Mulder?Copy !req
170. Well, that's going to be a little tough, Scully.Copy !req
171. Drive.Copy !req
172. Where are they?Copy !req
173. Route 789, heading west.
We're keeping them in visual plus...Copy !req
174. we're in phone contact...Copy !req
175. not to mention the strings
we pulled to keep this off local TV.Copy !req
176. - Where are they going?
- Crump won't say.Copy !req
177. Wherever it is, though,
he ain't getting there.Copy !req
178. - Roadblock?
- We'll shut him down east of Tuscarora—Copy !req
179. - nice, clean, remote space we can own.
- All right.Copy !req
180. I want the C.D.C. on-site.Copy !req
181. I want the officers making the arrest
to be wearing level...Copy !req
182. two or better anti-contamination suits.
I want the car decontaminated.Copy !req
183. I want Agent Mulder
and Crump decontaminated.Copy !req
184. - I want them quarantined separately.
- You got it.Copy !req
185. Crump says that if we don't pull back
our escort he's going to shoot your partner.Copy !req
186. You just leave me the hell alone!Copy !req
187. Now!Copy !req
188. How about if we just pull
over and let me out, too, huh?Copy !req
189. - I must be cramping your style.
- Just... Shut up.Copy !req
190. It's you people.Copy !req
191. - Figures.
- What figures?Copy !req
192. Shut up.Copy !req
193. Hey! No!
No!Copy !req
194. That is... so stupid, Crump.Copy !req
195. - Shut up.
- That is so stupid.Copy !req
196. You shut up and drive, you understand?Copy !req
197. - What are you doing?
- What? What am I doing?Copy !req
198. - What the hell are you doing?
- I'm composing a sonnet.Copy !req
199. - I'm slowing down for a light.
- Go!Copy !req
200. Go!Copy !req
201. Crump?Copy !req
202. Is this what happened to your wife?Copy !req
203. This same thing?
If you stop moving, you die?Copy !req
204. I think I saw this movie.Copy !req
205. Why didn't you tell anybody?
Why didn't you tell the police?Copy !req
206. Oh, geez.Copy !req
207. I don't know how well you
recall the last 30 seconds...Copy !req
208. but your life is in my hands regardless
of whether or not you hold that gun.Copy !req
209. - It's right here, boy.
- Just tell me everything you know.Copy !req
210. - That may be the only way I can help you.
- You people put me here!Copy !req
211. Shut up.Copy !req
212. I'm guessing we got
two or three miles before the roadblock.Copy !req
213. - What roadblock? I got rid of the cops.
- Check your window.Copy !req
214. Oh, God.Copy !req
215. Men, if we get stopped...Copy !req
216. Subject's turning off 789
about a mile east of your position...Copy !req
217. and is heading north on a fire road.
Looks like he's going to miss you.Copy !req
218. Say what?Copy !req
219. - What's the report, Captain?
- They lost them.Copy !req
220. They were last seen
on a forestry service road.Copy !req
221. Trees were too thick.
Our helicopter lost sight of them.Copy !req
222. How did Crump know to avoid the roadblock?Copy !req
223. That's the question.Copy !req
224. I was hoping your Agent Mulder
would manage to steer him toward it, but...Copy !req
225. Maybe Agent Mulder
steered him away from it.Copy !req
226. - Why would he do that?
- Maybe he knew something that we don't.Copy !req
227. Agent Scully, I've got the cell
cultures from the second victim.Copy !req
228. Anything?Copy !req
229. So far, I'm seeing no evidence
of infection in either victim.Copy !req
230. So then, we're in the clear?Copy !req
231. No, no. Not necessarily.
I mean, something killed these people.Copy !req
232. Sorry. Excuse me.
Scully.Copy !req
233. Agent Scully?
Please hold for Assistant Director Kersh.Copy !req
234. - Agent Scully.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
235. How is Southern Idaho?Copy !req
236. Agent Scully? Southern Idaho?
Think carefully.Copy !req
237. Sir, I am not currently in the state of Idaho.Copy !req
238. No, you're not.Copy !req
239. In the course of prosecuting
our assignment in Idaho,Copy !req
240. Agent Mulder and I
came across a situation in Nevada...Copy !req
241. which we both strongly felt
needed our immediate attention.Copy !req
242. I eagerly await your report.Copy !req
243. In the meantime,Copy !req
244. agents of our Las Vegas
field office will be available...Copy !req
245. to assist you in tracking down Agent Mulder.Copy !req
246. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
247. Oh, Agent Scully...Copy !req
248. I think, at this point I want
to see him alive even more than you do.Copy !req
249. Can I see that for a minute?Copy !req
250. This man worked at
Silver State Power reading meters.Copy !req
251. Yes.Copy !req
252. What if he read the meter
at Vicky Crump's place?Copy !req
253. Crump?Copy !req
254. Crump, what else can you tell me
about what's happening to you?Copy !req
255. Mr. Crump.Copy !req
256. You call me by my last name,
you say "mister" in front of it.Copy !req
257. - "Mister." I got you.
- Not Crump. Mr. Crump.Copy !req
258. I can think of something else
I'd like to call you.Copy !req
259. I could put "mister"
in front of that, too if you'd like.Copy !req
260. You know, what kind of name
is Mulder, anyway? What is that, like...Copy !req
261. - like, Jewish?
- Excuse me?Copy !req
262. Jewish... It is, right?Copy !req
263. It's Mr. Mulder to you,
you peanut-picking bastard.Copy !req
264. Now, Mr. Crump what can you
tell me about what's happening to you?Copy !req
265. - What?
- You're going...Copy !req
266. - The wrong way.
- What do you mean so "The wrong way"?Copy !req
267. - Go this... Go this way!
- I can't... I can't go...Copy !req
268. I can't go left.
There's only trees there.Copy !req
269. Crump.Copy !req
270. Crump...Copy !req
271. It's west. Huh, west?
You got to head west.Copy !req
272. It's just like you did with your wife.
You took her and you headed west.Copy !req
273. It's not just motion;
it has to be in one direction.Copy !req
274. Is that right?Copy !req
275. What the hell happened to you?Copy !req
276. Okay, I want a thorough search
with an eye to the usual disease vectors.Copy !req
277. You got it.Copy !req
278. I think we're witnessing
the same pathology here.Copy !req
279. We need to get a blood sample.Copy !req
280. Let's go.Copy !req
281. Try to hold him still!Copy !req
282. Hang on.
Let me sedate him.Copy !req
283. One more time.
You woke up this morning... then what?Copy !req
284. We have been through this.Copy !req
285. You woke up this morning
but you didn't go to work. Why?Copy !req
286. It was raining. You don't shingle in the rain.
I was up at 6:00, reading the paper.Copy !req
287. What was your wife doing?Copy !req
288. Cooking, man. Breakfast. She was just
putting breakfast on the table when the...Copy !req
289. - You looked up.
- I looked up,Copy !req
290. and I saw that she had
this nosebleed she didn't even know she had.Copy !req
291. - What caused it?
- What do I... I'm... I'm, like, Quincy?Copy !req
292. How the hell should I know what caused it?Copy !req
293. It just happened.Copy !req
294. Ten, 15 minutes later, she just...Copy !req
295. Starts getting sick.Copy !req
296. Said she got a headache that just...
keeps getting worse and worse.Copy !req
297. Then she starts... screaming.Copy !req
298. I didn't know what the hell to do.
I just, uh...Copy !req
299. I got her in the truck and...
Taking her to the hospital...Copy !req
300. but then it seemed like
the faster we went the better she'd do...Copy !req
301. but just as soon as
I try to slow down or stop...Copy !req
302. I'm sorry about your wife.Copy !req
303. Sure, you are...
You and the rest of your Jew F.B.I.Copy !req
304. - Crump...
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
305. You think I don't know, huh?Copy !req
306. You think I'm just
some ignorant pudknocker, don't you?Copy !req
307. But I get it, man!
I see what this is!Copy !req
308. I am not sick and I do not have the flu.Copy !req
309. Vicky and me were just some kind of...
Government guinea pigs.Copy !req
310. - You think the government did this to you?
- Hell, yeah. Who else?Copy !req
311. You see it all the time on the TV:Copy !req
312. they're dropping Agent Orange,Copy !req
313. they're putting radiation
in little retarded kids' gonads...Copy !req
314. Oh, yeah. You sons of bitches
sneaking around my woods at night—Copy !req
315. I seen you.
You think I don't know?Copy !req
316. Well, on behalf of
the international Jewish conspiracy...Copy !req
317. I just need to inform
you that we're...Copy !req
318. almost out of gas.Copy !req
319. The trailer looks clean—
no readily apparent vectors.Copy !req
320. Dogs, housewives...
Whatever this thing is, it doesn't discriminate.Copy !req
321. There are zoonotic pathogens
which spread among species.Copy !req
322. Look at that.Copy !req
323. The Crumps have a neighbor.Copy !req
324. Hello!Copy !req
325. Hello?Copy !req
326. Doctor?Copy !req
327. Hello?Copy !req
328. Hello?Copy !req
329. Oh, no. It's...
It's okay, ma'am. It's okay.Copy !req
330. - Who are you?
- It's all right. I'm sorry.Copy !req
331. Go away! Go away!Copy !req
332. It's okay.
It's okay.Copy !req
333. Okay, Crump, we got
about one more mile.Copy !req
334. I'll make it fast.
You ready?Copy !req
335. Here goes nothing.Copy !req
336. Hey, turn on the pump!Copy !req
337. Number four!
Three!Copy !req
338. Number three!
Turn it on!Copy !req
339. You got to pay
before you pump, buddy!Copy !req
340. Hey, dammit, that's my car!
Where the hell do you think you're going?Copy !req
341. One deaf woman survives unscathed
while everything else around her dies.Copy !req
342. Why?Copy !req
343. What... What are you doing?Copy !req
344. The pathology of this thing...Copy !req
345. It affects the inner ear...Copy !req
346. and this area right here is ground zero.Copy !req
347. What if what we're looking for
is some kind of a sound?Copy !req
348. Seriously?Copy !req
349. Oh.Copy !req
350. Excuse me.Copy !req
351. - Scully.
- It's Van Gelder.Copy !req
352. Agent, I don't know
what the hell your partner's thinking...Copy !req
353. but not only is he actively
evading my officers, now he's stolen a car.Copy !req
354. - Come again?
- You heard right.Copy !req
355. He left behind
a crazy note addressed to you.Copy !req
356. - You there?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Read it to me.Copy !req
357. "Crump sick; will die
if stopped same as wife.Copy !req
358. Must head west to keep alive.
No roadblocks!" Exclamation point.Copy !req
359. - This make any sense to you?
- Take him at his word.Copy !req
360. Let him through.Copy !req
361. Let him through?
Look, uh...Copy !req
362. No offense, Agent Scully but how 'bout you
run that by your superiors 'cause frankly,Copy !req
363. I think they'll say different.Copy !req
364. I'll take that under advisement.Copy !req
365. Agent Scully, again, I got to say
I feel like we got a situation here that...Copy !req
366. Faster.Copy !req
367. I'm doing 70.Copy !req
368. You got to go faster.
It's getting worse.Copy !req
369. Okay.Copy !req
370. Yeah, yeah.
That's good. Okay.Copy !req
371. Hey, uh...Copy !req
372. The Jew stuff?Copy !req
373. No offense.Copy !req
374. I mean, uh...
A man can't help who he's born to.Copy !req
375. That was an apology, right?Copy !req
376. Gee, I don't know if I can see to drive
my eyes are tearing up so bad.Copy !req
377. Whatever, man.Copy !req
378. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
379. - Why am I doing what?
- This.Copy !req
380. It's not in your best interest
to make me question that right now.Copy !req
381. How do I know you ain't doing
exactly what they want you to?Copy !req
382. Hmm?Copy !req
383. Driving me all around creation, experimenting
on me... How do I know it ain't that?Copy !req
384. I guess you don't.Copy !req
385. I ain't saying you are.Copy !req
386. I'm just saying...
That's no way to treat a man...Copy !req
387. take away his dignity like that.Copy !req
388. It ain't right.Copy !req
389. Better just to kill him.Copy !req
390. That's all I'm saying.Copy !req
391. Hey, you got to stay alive
if you want to stick it to the government.Copy !req
392. If you die, you let them
off the hook. Am I right?Copy !req
393. - Huh?
- You're right. You're damn straight.Copy !req
394. We'll figure this out.Copy !req
395. You'd better figure quick.
We're running out of west.Copy !req
396. Lieutenant Breil?
My name is Dana Scully.Copy !req
397. I called in regard to the electrical
equipment the Navy is maintaining...Copy !req
398. - in the town of Montello.
- Right. Listen, I don't know if there's...Copy !req
399. been some miscommunication between
you and your Washington office, but, uh...Copy !req
400. - My Washington office?
- Yeah.Copy !req
401. I was under the impression that I'd
explained this to the F.C.C.'s satisfaction.Copy !req
402. Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry
to make you run through it again, uh...Copy !req
403. For my official report to the,
uh... To the F.C.C.Copy !req
404. Okay.Copy !req
405. At 6:17 yesterday morning during a test
of our ground conduction radio system...Copy !req
406. a situation arose in which our equipment
experienced a brief power surge.Copy !req
407. That's what interrupted
television reception in the four-state area.Copy !req
408. However, steps have already been taken
to insure this won't happen again.Copy !req
409. The ground conduction radio—
th-that would be Project Seafarer?Copy !req
410. The specifics of what
we do here are classified, ma'am.Copy !req
411. Sure, sure. Um...Copy !req
412. Would you happen to know what effect
such a surge might have on, uh...Copy !req
413. On an organism... Say, a...
Say, a human being?Copy !req
414. - Theoretically speaking.
- Theoretically speaking?Copy !req
415. Well, that's classified as well, ma'am.Copy !req
416. - Crump?
- Mr. Crump.Copy !req
417. Mr. Crump...Copy !req
418. What is it, Mr. Mulder?Copy !req
419. Mulder, are you okay?Copy !req
420. Yeah, aside from terminal
cell phone withdrawal...Copy !req
421. That, and I got to pee.
Where are you?Copy !req
422. I'm just about to board
a justice department jet...Copy !req
423. Hopefully, I'll overshoot you.Copy !req
424. - Headed where?
- I don't know, Mulder. You tell me.Copy !req
425. I'm guessing wherever the hell
route 36 ends but we can't stop, Scully.Copy !req
426. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do next.Copy !req
427. Well, I think I have
a loose theory as to what caused this.Copy !req
428. - Well, lay it on me.
- Okay.Copy !req
429. Mulder, you know what E.L.F. waves are?
Extremely low radio transmissions?Copy !req
430. Yeah. It uses an antenna,
like, 50 miles long.Copy !req
431. The military uses it to communicate
with the trident submarines,Copy !req
432. Project Seafarer, Project Haarp.Copy !req
433. Well, Seafarer has an antenna array stretching
beneath the edge of Patrick Crump's property.Copy !req
434. Now, ELF fields have been shown to...Copy !req
435. To produce biological effects in human tissue...Copy !req
436. inducing electrical currents,
altering chemical reactions.Copy !req
437. Not to mention that as a potential weapons
application it's been referred to...Copy !req
438. as "electrical nerve gas" or may be
behind the so-called "Taos Hum."Copy !req
439. What if some overload some...
Some hum from this system...Copy !req
440. could somehow match the resonant
frequency of the human skull?Copy !req
441. I mean, what if it could induce a like hum that could...Copy !req
442. That could somehow exert a...Copy !req
443. a rising pressure on the labyrinth
of the inner ear in a sense shattering it?Copy !req
444. But with constant movement somehow
ameliorating that pressure making it bearable.Copy !req
445. - But why only westward movement?
- I don't know, Mulder, I don't know. I mean...Copy !req
446. I mean, maybe it has to follow
certain lines of force electrical or magnetic.Copy !req
447. The big question, Scully,
is what do we do about it?Copy !req
448. Well, I think I know, Mulder, but it's
nothing that Mr. Crump is going to like.Copy !req
449. We'll be there.Copy !req
450. What?Copy !req
451. Well, whether they did this to you
intentionally or not, you were right.Copy !req
452. They did it to you.Copy !req
453. So, what do we...
what do we do?Copy !req
454. Your one chance is that we meet
my partner at the end of the highway.Copy !req
455. There, she will insert a long,
large-bore needle into your inner ear...Copy !req
456. hopefully relieving the pressure.Copy !req
457. Now, when we get there
she's going to have to work fast.Copy !req
458. She's only going to have one chance.Copy !req
459. She's not going to be
able to use any anesthetic...Copy !req
460. and it will probably leave you deaf.Copy !req
461. But I'll live, right?Copy !req
462. Well, that's what it's all about.
All right, man. Let's do it.Copy !req
463. Mr. Mulder, could you go
a little faster, please?Copy !req
464. - Just a little more is all I need.
- Sure.Copy !req
465. Just a little bit faster.Copy !req
466. Get ready!Copy !req
467. "Justice department jet: 2.6 turbine hours
round trip at $1,400 an hour.Copy !req
468. Car rental— over-mileage,
out-of-state use penalties: $346.Copy !req
469. Compensation to one Walter R. Duncan...Copy !req
470. for unauthorized use of
his 1968 Caprice station wagon: $500."Copy !req
471. Why don't you bill me?Copy !req
472. I'll bill your partner instead.
You too obviously relish the role of martyr.Copy !req
473. Okay. So
are we done here?Copy !req
474. Back to the bozo work
investigating huge piles of manure?Copy !req
475. You can always quit.Copy !req
476. - Sir, Agent Mulder has been through a lot.
- And you apologize for him a lot.Copy !req
477. - I've noticed that about you.
- I'm not apologizing for this.Copy !req
478. Because of his work, the D.O.D. is shutting
down their antenna array in northeastern Nevada.Copy !req
479. Our participation in this case
has saved lives.Copy !req
480. I don't see you proving that.Copy !req
481. The Department of Defense
admits no culpability whatsoever.Copy !req
482. Furthermore, they say the closing
of the facility was coincidental.Copy !req
483. Right.Copy !req
484. Don't misunderstand me, Agent.Copy !req
485. I don't care if you
and your partner saved a school bus...Copy !req
486. full of doe-eyed urchins
on their way to Sunday bible camp.Copy !req
487. You no longer investigate X-Files.
You are done...Copy !req
488. and the sooner you and Mulder come to
recognize that, the better for both of you.Copy !req
489. Big piles of manure.Copy !req
