"Hell Money" is the nineteenth episode of the third season of The X-Files. A string of mysterious deaths of recent Chinese immigrants brings Agents Mulder and Scully to San Francisco's Chinatown. The Agents team up with a Chinese-American detective to better understand the language and customs of the Chinese culture, but one thing remains frightening clear — all of the bodies are missing various internal organs. Text taken from the Hell Money summary here.

[edit] Trivia

  • The term hell money comes from the Chinese tradition of offering representations of money or goods to the dead.
