Mulder learns that he must keep the car moving or Mr. Crump's ear will explode. Scully and a team of scientists scour the Crump property, and Scully learns that the U.S. Navy is operating a transmitter under the Crump property. Scully believes that a power surge caused a condition in the ear that creates increasing outward pressure, which is only relieved by movement. Mulder tells Crump that he'll take him to Scully so she can insert a needle in his ear to save his life at the expense of leaving him deaf. Crump agrees, but the pressure becomes too much and they reach Scully a little too late.
