From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Drive" was the second episode of the sixth season of The X-Files science-fiction television series created by Chris Carter.
Police arrest a man driving dangerously, moments before his wife's ear explodes. Leaving the police station, he kidnaps Mulder and forces him to drive west, whilst Scully attempts to prevent him from suffering the same fate.
The man is discovered to be suffering from a condition caused by extremely low frequency radio waves. If he remains still, his ear will also explode. Only driving west alleviates the pressure, but Mulder finds he must steadily increase his speed, and they are quickly approaching the West Coast. Scully develops a possible treatment and flies to a rendezvous point on the coast. However, it is too late, and the man dies.
