Mulder, wishing to speak to Crump, follows the ambulance and ends up being kidnapped by Crump, who has escaped from the police. Crump, who has started to develop symptoms of a sickness, is put in an ambulance. Mulder coerces Scully into taking a detour to Elko, Nevada on a hunch that this may be an X-File. Mulder and Scully get wind of this bizarre car chase as they're doing work in Buhl, Idaho investigating possible domestic terrorism. As the news chopper catches all of this on film, the woman's head explodes, sending a spray of blood across the window.
The woman in the police car begins violently banging her head against the car window. The driver, Patrick Crump ( Bryan Cranston), is pushed to the asphalt and handcuffed. Assuming it to be a kidnapping, police pull the female passenger from the car and place her into the protective custody of a police vehicle. In a live news report, a high-speed car chase comes to an end in the Nevada desert. Cranston's success in "Drive" later led to his casting as Walter White in Gilligan's AMC series Breaking Bad. Gilligan cast Cranston to play the antagonist because he felt he could successfully humanize the role. The episode was written by Vince Gilligan, directed by Rob Bowman, and featured a guest appearance by Bryan Cranston. In the episode, Mulder is trapped in a car by a seemingly deranged man, and Scully races to determine if the man is suffering from a deadly illness-and if Mulder is in danger of becoming the next victim of some sort of government conspiracy. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work.
The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files.
