After a Jewish man is murdered by a group of antisemitic teenagers, Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate the mysterious death of one of the assailants.
A "golem" creature is avenging the (hate crime) murder of Isaac Luria
Isaac's fingerprints are found on the dead guy's body
The agents are suspicious of Jacob Weiss, but it's actually Isaac's wife Ariel who created the golem
Shopkeeper they talk to literally hands out antisemitic flyers, "you look like you might be one yourself" he says to Mulder
Mulder and Scully investigate grave, they find a Torah that instantly catches on fire
Ariel tries to marry the golem version of her husband... this is genuinely really sad :(
Watch it? It's probably best skipped. This one genuinely just bums me out, it's hard to care at all about the young guys being killed because they committed such a horrifyingly evil act. I don't know why they had to make them be teens. But the end with Ariel and Isaac is sort of tragically beautiful.
