"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.

  • The term 'hell money' comes from the Chinese tradition of offering representations of money or goods to the dead.
  • The popular Chinese American actress Lucy Liu appears in this episode.
  • Hell bank notes are also featured in The X-Files: The Game, as are the Chinese tiles, which were used as a game in the episode as a lottery.
  • There is a reference to the theme song from Ghostbusters in the episode.
  • A piece of music in this episode can be heard in an episode of the TV series Millennium, also created by Chris Carter. The episode in which it is heard in is called "Siren."
