Detective Bartley is named after John Bartley, director of photography for the series. Isaac Luria was appointed a well-known rabbi of the same name, who was awarded as the father of Jewish mysticism. The episode was dedicated to Lillian Katz, the grandmother of writer Howard Gordon. He never met her because she died when he was 42. The book, burning in flames inside the tomb, was a problem for several hours for the production team. When it finally started to burn, Gillian and David forgot their lines, and the scene had to be done again. Courtesy XLiz, xfiles.enmente.com Images of the episode: Mulder suspects that Golem, the man made by a monster appearing in Jewish folklore, will be responsible for the deaths of anti-Semites who killed a Jewish man. Several people approach the Brooklyn cemetery to pay tribute to Isaac Luria, a Jew who was brutally murdered by three anti-Semitic teenagers. Among them are Ariel Luria and her father, Jacob Weiss. When night comes, a dark figure enters the cemetery and sculpts a human figure in the mud. Mulder and Scully investigate the death of Isaac Luria. Isaac, who lived in an area known for his history of racial tensions, was severely beaten in his business. Police brazenly said the motive was a robbery, as nothing was stolen from the premises. A video from the market of a 16-year-old boy named Tony Oliver, one of the teenagers involved in the murder, was later found. Oliver was strangled by an unknown assailant. What intrigues Mulder the most is the presence of Isaac Luria's fingerprints on Oliver's corpse. Weiss shows the agents an anti-Semitic pamphlet they left on their doorstep that morning. Mulder tells his partner that whoever printed the pamphlets probably knows who killed Isaac. Agents say Kurt Brunies, the owner of the printing press in front of Isaac's Market. When agents show Brunier pictures of Banks and McGuire (teenagers suspected of beating Isaac), he claims they are unknown to him. If agents don't know, Banks listens to a conversation from another room thanks to a surveillance camera. Scully tells Brunier about rumors that Isaac returned from the dead to avenge his murder. Terrified, Banks and McGuire unearthed Isaac's coffin. McGuire returns to his car to get some tools, Banks opens the coffin lid and sees what Isaac's body is. Banks later finds McGuire's body, dressed in a pile of mud. Officers arrive at the scene. Mulder sees a leather book under the shroud with which Isaac was veiled. But when he's going to play the old book, it's on fire. Agents come to Kenneth Ungar, a student of the Jewish Arkle-ive. Ungar explains that Mulder found a book about Jewish mystism. He insists he could never be buried with a dead man. Ungar notices a name engraved on the skin: Jacob Weiss. Ariel tells agents that although she and her husband were licensed to marry in the weeks before the murder, the wedding ceremony could never have taken place. Agents find Weiss in the attic of the synagogue. They also discover Banks' body hanging from a wooden beam. Weiss has been arrested and charged with murder. The man admits two murders, but Mulder thinks someone - or something - was in the attic with him. Unger tells Mulder about Golem, a mystical creature. He explains that the early Cabalists believed that the righteous could create a living being of the Earth itself. One Jewish word emet is written on the back of Golem's hand. To destroy Golem, Unger explains, the first letter must be removed. Brunjes is dead. When officers examine surveillance footage, they discover that Golem, whose appearance is identical to Isaac Luria's, is responsible for the murder. Weiss returns to the synagogue after his release. There he discovers Ariel is getting ready for marriage. When Weiss tries to stop his daughter, Golem attacks him. Agents rescue Weiss and, while Scully looks after his wounds, Mulder looks for Ariel. Golem attacks Mulder, throwing him aside as he tries to stop him. But Ariel shoves. When the wedding ceremony continues, Golem puts the ring on Ariel. Ariel expresses her love for Isaac as she erases the letter e from Golem's hands. The creature turns to dust. Agent Fox Mulder --- DAVID DUCHOVNY Agent Dana Scully --- JILLIAN ANDERSON ARYANIN ARIEL LURIA --- JUSTINE MICELI Jacob Weiss --- DAVID GROCH Isaac LURIA --- HARRISON COE Derek Banks --- --- --- CHANNON ROE CLINTON BASCOMBE --- JABIN LITWINIEC Tony --- JONATHAN WHITTAKER Kenneth Ungar --- DAVID WOHL Detective --- GEORGE GORDON 1st Hasidic Man --- MURREY RABINOVITCH Rabbi --- DAVID FREEDMAN Files Lord X Herrenvolk Title - Herrenvolk is the Nazi/German word for Master Race - Hitler's plan to create a world of perfect, blue-eyed blondes. There has been a lot of speculation about Mulder's new informant, Marita Kovarrubias. The word Ruby means yellow or blonde in Spanish. The word Covarrubias means yellow cave and it is the name of a medieval city in Spain. Recently there was a rumor circulating that the real Marita Covarrubias is actually a lawyer who works with the Fox network (this I can not yet confirm or deny). Tag Line - The Tag Line Truth there has been changed to All Dies, which is the phrase the mighty morphing-power-alien says Mulder before he throws it through the parking lot. Unruhe Movie Brand, ETAP, is the surname of assistant prop master Jim Pate spelled in reverse. See the joke recordings for Little Potato, Redux, Christmas Song, and Travelers for other ETAP links. Although the name Unruhe is the German word unrest, and the word is pronounced many times during the episode, the real inspiration for this episode came from Time-Life's book about psycho-killers, which included an article about mass murderer Howard Unruh. Writer Vince Gilligan found it eerily poetic that the killer's surname was disorder and included it in an episode of The X-Files. Home This episode marks the return of writers Glen Morgan and James Wong, who left the show mid-season 2 to create their own show, Space: Above and Beyond. Maybe the name Home is appropriate? There was something special about how the location appears in the teaser for the episode - first, we look close-up of the house plate as the word Home appears in the bottom left corner of the screen. Just as we start to wonder if they're going to start showing titles at the beginning of episodes, we're seeing a completed line of House, Pennsylvania - it's just a normal place that appears in every episode after all. While there has been much speculation that the Inbreeding Family (The Peacocks) have been named after the NBC mascot (due to their new copycat shows this season - Dark Sky, The Contender, and Profiler), the family was indeed named after the neighbors of Glen Morgan's parents. Home Scenario Of The Differences of Teliko 925 - When Mulder looks at the resident Aboa alien card, we see that Aboah's birthday is 9/25/62 - Gillian Piper's daughter was born 9/25 as well. 517 - Scully's time to arrive at work in the morning was 5:17 a.m. 5/17 - the date of birth of the wife of producer/writer Frank Spotnitz. Tag Line - the usual tag line, True There, has been changed to Deceive, Inveigle, Obfuscate, the phrase used by Scully and Mulder in this episode. For those who do not have a dictionary at their fingertips, Inveigle means to conquer guile or belief, and Obfuscate means making dark or obscure to confuse. The field where I died Sullivan and Sarah - Sullivan Biddle and Sarah Cavanaugh supposedly lived during the Civil War. In real life, a Civil War soldier named Ballu wrote a now famous (and very touching) letter to his wife Sarah in which he assured her that his love for her without death and that although he might be killed in the war, he would always be with her, he would wait for her, and that we would meet again. A week after writing the letter, Sullivan Ballou was killed in the first Battle of Bull Mook. While his references probably refer to being together in heaven, they can also be interpreted as meeting in another life, just like an episode of The X-Files. Mulder's soliloquy at the beginning and end of an episode of a long Robert Browning poem called Paracelsus. Vernon Ephesian - a character likened to David Koresh, bears the real name of Koresh, Vernon. His last name was taken from the Book of the Bible. The field where I died Scenario Differences Sanguinarium Title - Sanguinary means carnage, bloodthirsty, consisting of blood. Sanginaria means a bloody stream. Sanguinarium is Latin for a place of blood. 1953 Gardner Street - probably named after Gerald Gardner, who founded his own form of witchcraft, the Gardnerian, in 1953. Its the most practiced form of witchcraft today. Gerald Gardner also published many books on witchcraft when laws against this practice were repealed (also in 1953). Rebecca Waite was called a nurse who was a witch. Rebecca nurse was called one of the Salem witches. In addition, Arthur Edward Waite was a well-known writer about medieval witchcraft and one of the creators of the modern tarot deck.
