Character actor Brad Dourif, also known as the voice of Chucky, plays another serial killer here—Luther Lee Boggs, who offers to use his alleged psychic talents to help solve a kidnapping in exchange for swapping his death sentence for life in prison instead. He also uses them to try and manipulate Scully, who’s grappling with the recent death of her father. “Beyond the Sea” leaves the authenticity of Boggs’ gifts up for interpretation, but there’s zero doubt that Dourif’s ability to play “creepy as all hell” helps elevate the entire episode.
