Malda begins to suspect that the mother had some robbery in both cases. This personally affects Molder, because his mother wrote a similar note during her sister’s disappearance when they were children. Molder should also fight that his mother recently and unexpectedly took her life. He clearly uses the case of abduction as a way to cope with the death of his mother and the 27-year disappearance of his sister. By the end of the episode, Malder will remove himself from the case, knowing that he will not be able to investigate with a good opinion. (Recall this Molder left after the seventh season of the show.)

This is the main and depressive episode that came at the end of the run. “Sein und Zeit” is also marked by a bizarre incident during the shooting. It seems like a crew member – unnamed – left one of the Ransom Propom notes in my mistake’s telephone. When they returned to find him, they were arrested for abduction. Local police seem to have found a note and thought it was real. The incident was described in the book “Everything: Official Handbook on” X-Files “, v. 6” Mac Shapiro.

The incident seemed quite innocent. The crew participant, which was recalled by the director of the episode Kim Maners, conducted a large file folder around the set, and he contained all the letters that were supposed to be used in the episode. They then went to the phone to call (it was in 2000 before the mobile phones were ubiquitous) and was missing the file. The episode was lifted in the Aldaden, California, a city in Los Angeles district, north of Pasadena, and seems to be one of the locals of the Altaden closely followed the X-Files crew. A little suspicious that a stranger must leave a big file folder in the telephone booth.

The local named the police, and they found a fake ransom note. When the crew member returned to get the folder he left behind, he was arrested. You can imagine how kerffels arose, and how someone in the production office had to explain to the altaden police that the note on the ransom was really a support. It seems that the crew member was released and was gone.

“Sein und Zeit”, named after Martin Heidegger’s existentialist work, ended with a moving and gloomy language. In the end, it will be revealed that the abduction of the guilty was not a vindictive spirit, but a professional actor Santa Claus, who abducted and killed children for decades. Malder’s mother took her life because she died from the deadly bone carcinoma, not from what is supernatural. The abducted children did not contain safely in some spirit, but were killed. Molder, and the audience had to learn to mourn. Duchovny left the show but even now, It always opens to return.

Fortunately, the powerful episode did not affect too much arrest of the crew. It’s memorable but it is too depressing considered a favorite of fans.
