"X-Files" - "Drive" I Trivia Quiz

Answer: hand

The helicopter camera was following the car and the reporter pointed out that there was a hand up on the back seat. As the camera focused on it, the hand moved off the seat and the reporter confirmed that they "could possibly have a hostage situation."

Answer: tire-puncturing chain

Crump's car was being chased by cops, and another cop laid metal puncturing chain across the road to puncture the tires. Sure enough, as the tires deflated, Crump was forced to stop and the police pulled him out of the car and arrested him.

Answer: true

After the cops arrested Crump, they took his wife out of the car and put her in a police car, thinking she was a hostage and needed caring for. As the cops struggled with Crump, Vicky Crump hit her head against the patrol car's window until it burst against the glass.

As the FOX 11 News replayed the scene later, they warned their audiences that the "footage is extremely graphic." They didn't shy away from showing it again, though! Of course they had to use FOX because it was the network "The X-Files" aired on, but in hindsight, it was also an interesting commentary on what the FOX network would become in the next five or so years in terms of consistently going lower and lower brow with their shows (like "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire", "Temptation Island", "When Animals Attack", and "The Littlest Groom").

Answer: copy of "The Watchtower"

When the farmer opened the door to Scully and Mulder, he asked if they were Jehovah's Witnesses. Scully corrected him, saying that they were FBI, but Mulder told him, "we do have a free copy of 'The Watchtower' for you if you'd like."

Answer: sugar beets

Scully and Mulder had been assigned to do routine follow-ups on large purchases of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Mulder was clearly bored by the assignment, and when he saw the news coverage of Mrs. Crump's death, he convinced Scully to take a little detour with him.

Answer: nose

He was lying on a cot when he noticed his nose was bleeding. Mrs. Crump's nose had been bleeding in the car, so this was clearly a sign that Crump faced the same fate as his wife.

Answer: East

Talking to the Patrol Captain in Nevada, Mulder noted that Crump had started in Nevada and gone east until he stole the car on the Utah state line and headed back west.

Answer: gun

Crump took the gun from one of the prison guards accompanying him in the ambulance. Then he stopped the ambulance and hopped out the back, where he found Mulder and forced him to take over driving duties.

Answer: cell phone

Crump had already had to threaten to shoot Mulder to get the police escort to back off of the car. He then discovered that Mulder was FBI and started fuming about what "you people" had done to him. When the phone rang again, Crump threw it out the window in frustration. Mulder was furious, saying, "That is so stupid, Crump!" Mulder was clearly upset because he realized they no longer had any way of communicating with the outside world, either for negotiation or strategy!

Answer: traffic light

When Mulder started to slow for the light, Crump got really upset, but Mulder didn't understand the gravity of the situation. When he saw that Crump was almost unconscious in the backseat, he floored the gas and sped through the intersection, simultaneously bringing Crump back to a healthier state. Mulder realized that the same thing must have happened to Crump's wife and concluded that they had to keep moving to keep him from dying.
