The x-files (season 4)

TV Show Season|1996

"Kaddish "is the fifteenth episode of the fourth season of the X – Files television series. The episode is of the "monster of the week" type and is not related to the main "mythology of the series" set in the first series.

The title of the episode is a reference to the Jewish prayer: "Kaddish" (Hebrew ,קדיש meaning "holy") is a prayer in Judaism that glorifies the sanctity of the name of God and His power and expresses the desire for ultimate deliverance and salvation.

In Brooklyn, New York, a group of Hasidic Jews buries a young man, Isaac Lurie. Lurie was beaten and shot by three young neo-Nazis in his shop. Lurie's fiancee, Ariel, and her father, Jacob Weiss, are the first to leave the funeral. At night, a dark figure in the cemetery sculpts a human figure out of the ground and leaves, leaving the breathing figure to lie in the rain.

When one of the neo-Nazis who attacked Lurie is found hanged in his apartment, and Lurie's fingerprints are found at the crime scene, Mulder and Scully come to investigate this mysterious case. Scully believes that the murder is revenge, and Lurie's prints were planted to confuse the investigation. The agents ask Ariel and her father to give permission to exhume Lurie's grave, which enrages Jacob Weiss.

After interviewing Kurt Branges, the racist owner of a copy shop near Lurie's store, the agents begin to suspect him of organizing the murder. With no proof, Mulder tells Brangez that the lives of the other two neo-Nazis (Lurie's murder was recorded by a security camera) are in danger. Lurie's immediate killer, Tony Oliver, is listening in on the conversation while in the back room of Branges ' store. After hearing from Scully that the victim may have risen from the dead, Oliver and a third party to the murder, Clinton, drive to the cemetery at night and dig up the grave of Lurie, whose body lies in a coffin. When Clinton runs to the car for a tool, someone kills him.

While investigating the crime scene the next morning, Mulder and Scully find a book of Jewish religious texts with the name of Jacob Weiss on the cover at the head of Lurie's coffin, which suddenly ignites itself. After finding Weiss in the synagogue, the agents discover the body of the hanged Oliver. Weiss confesses to both murders, but Mulder does not believe him and believes that the real killer is a Golem – a mythological monster that represents a body without a soul. Mulder releases Weiss from custody.

Brangez is killed in his workshop. On the videotape, Mulder and Scully see a man who looks like Lurie. Mulder deduces that, since Ariel and Isaac did not have time to marry, Ariel created the Golem in an attempt to revive the deceased lover, or the Golem was created by Ariel's father for revenge.

Ariel arrives at the synagogue with a ceremonial wedding ring to marry Lurie. Weiss finds her there and tries to talk her out of it, but the Golem attacks him and strangles him. Mulder and Scully, who have guessed Ariel's whereabouts from the missing ring from her apartment, arrive at the synagogue, where they find a barely alive Weiss and see how Ariel and the Golem are married. The golem tries to kill Mulder, but only injures him. Ariel stops the Golem and, confessing her love to Isaac, turns him to the ground.

Phenomena in artwork: Golem

A woman creates a golem from the cemetery earth, sculpting a human figure over the grave of the deceased groom. She only wants to say goodbye to her lover, but the revived golem begins to pursue those who are responsible for his death. At the same time, he looks the same as the deceased, and even leaves his fingerprints at the crime scene.

On the golem's arm is an inscription of three symbols, meaning "truth". If you erase the first character, the meaning of the inscription changes to "death", which leads to the destruction of the golem.
