THE SAME PHENOMENON THAT AGED AN ENTIRE SHIP'S CREW IN A MATTER OF DAYS MAY CLAIM SCULLY AND MULDER UNLESS THEY CAN DISCOVER THE CAUSE.
When a crew of healthy young men ages 50 years overnight, Mulder and Scully take off for the North Atlantic to probe a new version of the "Bermuda Triangle." Suspecting military experiments in wormholes and other phenomena may be responsible, they travel to a stranded, abandoned destroyer. But once on board, they find themselves not only stranded and adrift but at the mercy of the strange force that is aging the survivors overnight. A pirate, a bewildered captain and a water-recycling system hold tantalizing clues; Mulder and Scully must find the cause and counteract it before they die of old age.
Notes
The liferaft the crewman are jumping into in the opening teaser is numbered 925 (9/25 is the birthdate of Gillian Anderson's daughter, Piper).

Scully: "Off by about half a century. You don't seem too surprised."

Scully: "Mulder where are we going?"
Mulder: "I'm not sure yet but we've got to get there soon."

(Mulder looking very sick)
Mulder: "You're lucky you inherited your father's legs."
Scully: "What?"
Mulder: "Sea legs."
Scully: "Oh."

Trondheim: "I guarantee it was Olaffson's men took my boat and left him
stranded here. It's just like these dogs to slit each other's throats."
____________________________________________________________
(Mulder is getting really old)
Mulder: "You know, I always thought when I got older, I'd maybe take a cruise somewhere. This isn't exactly what I had in mind...The service on this ship is terrible, Scully. It's not fair...It's not our time. We still have work to do..."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "I think I just lapped George Burns."
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "What do you know about free radicals?"
Mulder: "Is this a quiz?"
____________________________________________________________
Trondheim: "It's a ghost ship. I mean, look at all this corrosion. No-one's been on this ship in 20...30 years."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "You're almost out of pages. It's good you kept a record."
____________________________________________________________
Olafsson: "You don't have to die."
Trondheim: "We all have to die."
____________________________________________________________
Trondheim: "Why don't you just go ahead and shoot me if you think I'm going to let Mulder have another *drop*!"
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "I looked everywhere. And this is all I could find...It's sardine juice, half a dozen lemons and uh... the water from a snow globe."
Mulder: "Slurp" (licking lips)
Scully: "It's not Evian..."
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "As certain as I am of this life, we have nothing to fear when it's over."

Scully's final monologue:
"Agent Fox Mulder lost conciousness at approximately 4:30 this morning, the 12th of March. There is nothing more I can do for him... or for myself. Supplies are exhausted - no food or liquid consumed for over 24 hours. The outer hull most probably flooded, though for now the inner hull is supporting the ship's mass. Among Halverson's belongings I found a children's book of Norse legends. From what I can tell, the pictures show the end of the world - not in a sudden firestorm of damnation as the Bible teaches us, but in a soft, covering blanket of snow. First the moon and the stars will be lost in a dense white fog, then the rivers and the lakes and the sea will freeze over. And finally, a wolf named Skall will open his jaws and eat the sun, sending the world into everlasting night...I think I hear the wolf at the door..."
