Imperium

---

You have the phone?

Should I do it now?

Not yet. Wait until

we get to the checkpoint.

Okay, guys, this is it.

Hey, Ivy league's gun,

put that gun back away.

- What are you talking about?

- I don't need some egghead

who just scored an 81 on his

qual shooting my dick off, okay?

This is my f***ing guy!

I'm not just gonna

sit here while you--

guys, enough! Nate,

just follow our lead, okay?

Is your heart clear?

Are you sure

you want to do this?

The signal

will be better outside.

Here it is.

Did it work?

- Drop it!

- Freeze!

- Hands in the air!

- Turn around!

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can

and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right

to an attorney.

Hello, usman. I can help you.

I can get you phone calls with

your parents, your friends...

My parents?!

I wish they were dead!

And I don't have any friends.

Oh, wow, he's a real prince,

this one.

Can I get in there?

Salam aleikum.

What the f***, tom?

I have this room at 4:00!

I know you don't get a lot

of news downstairs, zamparo,

but we just broke up a massive

terrorist plot, all right?

Try and keep up.

Um...

What? What is it?

Sir, when I flagged up

this guy's email,

I thought the investigation

was only gonna proceed

if there was substantive

criminal evidence to back it up.

We've got hours of him

talking about waging jihad

and killing children.

Right, but talking, though, sir,

not... he's not doing anything.

Isn't that the point?

Hey, Tim. How's it going?

You celebrating something, Nate?

You seeing someone special, huh?

Uh, yeah, actually.

How'd you guess?

Genius, emergency meeting

in the conference room!

The crash was off 301

around 2:
00 last night.

Local police

controlled the scene,

so, thankfully,

the press knows nothing.

These containers

carried cesium-137.

It's used for radiotherapy

applications in hospitals,

but it's highly regulated

and had no business

being on that truck.

When we tracked the shipment

back to Baltimore,

the customs record showed

eight containers, not two.

So there's six more of them

out there, all of them

in the country illegally.

If that quantity made it's way

into a radiological device,

we could be looking at

thousands of casualties,

mass evacuations

and radioactive contamination

throughout the D.C. area.

- Tom?

- Yeah.

Uh, lab analysis puts the

cesium coming from north Africa.

So the guys on four,

they put together this map.

It's an analysis

of Muslim communities in DC,

Maryland and Virginia,

along with their

countries of origin.

We'd like each-- yes?

What about leads

on the dt front?

Well, given the cesium

came from north Africa,

we don't think domestic

is really in the picture.

The last time anyone

tried to build a dirty bomb

on us soil was James cummings.

He was a white supremacist

living in Maine,

he was going to set it off

at Obama's inauguration.

He had uranium, thorium, and he

was trying to acquire cesium.

I'm sure you're familiar

with the case.

It goes without saying,

anyone here is welcome

to pursue any leads

they think are fruitful.

Okay, would you f***ing stop--

- oh, I'm so sorry.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Angela zamparo.

- Nate foster.

- I know.

You got a couple minutes?

Dt's downstairs.

There's only one perk

to being down in this shithole.

Nicorette just isn't the same.

So, Nate...

You seem like you've got

a bit more going on

than most around here.

You remember Oklahoma city?

Well, yeah,

i guess I was five, but sure.

What do you know

about Timothy McVeigh?

Ah... he was some kind of

lone extremist...

...in a militia?

Don't be an a**hole

who bullshits questions

you don't know

the answer to. Here.

Timothy McVeigh was a

decorated Gulf war veteran.

He was not insane;

He was not a lunatic;

And he was not stupid.

He was a white supremacist,

following a plan.

- What plan?

- A plan from a book

called the Turner diaries.

It's about a "race war"

to exterminate blacks,

Jews, and "mud people."

You know how the war

gets started?

The hero drives a truck bomb

into a federal building.

Timothy McVeigh

was reenacting that scene

from the Turner diaries.

He was carrying the book

with him when he was arrested.

What he was trying to do

was start the race war.

You're focused on

the islamic guys. I get it.

We all create a narrative based

on what we think is important.

We see what we want to see.

But just because you're not

looking at something...

...doesn't mean it's not there.

So, why are you telling me this?

I'm talking about a blood

and guts, in the street,

kill or be killed race war.

I have information

about a truck accident

outside DC last night,

involving classified

radioactive material.

But now the FBI is trying

to cover it all up. Why?

Because something

big is happening,

and it's bigger than 9/11,

and it's bigger than

Oklahoma city.

So be warned,

be armed, and be ready.

His name is Dallas wolf.

He gets 20,000

listeners a night.

We believe he's based

just outside of DC,

but almost nobody

knows him personally.

But I have an informant,

a skinhead in a gang.

And the leader of that gang

is friends with wolf.

So I need someone to get

in there, and get close to him.

Right and I'm trying to tell you

that this is not my thing!

I barely passed the pft!

What do you think

undercover work is?

Beating guys up

and shooting at them?

No, it's people skills.

It's controlling situations.

- It's this.

- Seriously?

This is the only undercover

training you'll ever need.

I saw you with that Muslim kid.

You got most of this

going on anyway.

Look, I read your file.

High IQ, great people skills,

but not your typical

FBI profile.

Introverted, an outsider,

unhappy childhood.

Single mother,

always moving around a lot,

always the new kid,

bullied at school,

no close friends or--

okay, okay, okay, f*** you!

That's... this is an invasion.

What gives

you the right to look--

because we don't have time

to dick around here!

You don't smuggle a boatload

of cesium into the country

and then just

let it f***ing sit there!

Fine, but I'm trying

to tell you,

I don't have

the skills for this!

I can't even defend myself!

You do have the skills,

and they mean you will

never have to!

What did you say to that kid?

"You want to change things,

so nobody has to suffer

the way you did."

A dirty bomb

is any kind of crude,

explosive device

that when detonated,

disperses radiation

around and beyond the blast.

What you would do

is irradiate a large territory.

Now some of these things

have a half-life of 30 years.

In many cases,

this material cannot be seen,

it can not be smelled,

cannot be felt,

cannot be tasted.

The more technically

capable an adversary is

the more likely

they would be to find ways

to spread the radioactive

material over larger areas.

One of things that we've been

taught in recent years,

is that we must be able to
