prepare for the unthinkable.

The terrorists sell

smuggling weapons

of mass destruction

into the country

in a shipping container.

An American Hiroshima.

Are you out of

your f***ing mind?

Do you know how management

looks at undercover, Nate?

You think this office is bad?

They'll have you

chasing pedophiles

on an Indian reservation.

I just want to discuss

the option, sir.

Discuss the option?

Of what,

of killing your whole career?

In the beginning was the word.

When the word found us,

we were unconscious.

But the word awakened us.

It made us conscious.

Our enemies were everywhere.

Our eyes were opened.

And they were

filled with shame.

We have been violated,

betrayed, and humiliated.

For we had

allowed this to happen.

And so the word spoke to us,

and told us to stand up!

To take back

what had been stolen from us!

To fight for race,

soil, and honor!

Do you know what they do

to informants, Nate?

You know what a "necktie" is?

They slit your throat,

and they pull your tongue

right out through it?

Oh, shut the f*** up!

Oh, what, so you

want him to go in blind,

so he has no idea

what he's getting into?

You're just trying

to manipulate him!

And you're not?

You do whatever

the f*** you want.

But you better think

long and hard about this.

The Turner diaries, it's sold

over a half a million copies.

Who do you think is buying it?

Eric Rudolph,

the olympic bomber,

Wade Paige,

who shot up the sikh temple.

Larry Ford,

developing typhoid and cholera.

Liam carr,

with the cyanide bomb,

Anthrax, ricin,

botcillism, c-4, ied's,

I could go on like this

for hours. And all of them

are white supremacists.

My name is Nate Thomas.

I was in the marines

for three years,

on a wmd squad in Iraq.

But I saw a lot of things

over there that changed me.

And I'm startin' to wonder...

No.

My name is Nate Thomas.

My name is Nate Thomas.

My name is Nate Thomas.

I was in the marines for three

years, on a wmd squad in Iraq.

But I saw a lot of things

over there that changed me.

I started to wonder

what was really going on

in this country.

And now I'm back home...

Trying to make a new start.

I'm starting to figure out

the truth about some things.

There's really only

a handful of people

who know what's going on.

But I want to be one of them.

And I want to make a difference.

Okay. Not bad. What else?

What's this?

It's my dd-214.

I was up all

night Photoshop-ing it,

so if anyone wants to see proof

of my service in the marines,

they can just--

what the f*** are you doing?

No, no, no, no. Listen to me.

If you get yourself in

a situation where you have to

show somebody your dd-214,

then you're already done.

You understand?

Good. Now what else?

Lone extremism

is not a social phenomena,

it's a tactic.

Terrorists call it

leaderless resistance.

The leaders of the movement

provide inspiration,

but they also encourage

hidden cells act independently

like Timothy McVeigh

and Terry Nichols.

Principle #3:

Arouse in the other person

an eager want.

So what do they want from you?

My loyalty? I'm loyal,

I'm dedicated to the the cause.

No. Any thug can be loyal.

What do you have...

What the guys with the

cesium... are gonna want?

Welcome to medvale medical

supply company.

My military contacts

helped me start this business.

Most of our sales are online.

Our radiotherapy products

are specifically designed

for the handling and storing

of radioactive material.

So we can acquire sensitive

materials and hide them.

His name is frank hedges.

He's been a ci for two years.

He's in a gang called

the panzer strikeforce, and the

leader of the gang is this guy.

Vince sargent.

He's friends with Dallas wolf.

So Vince and Dallas wolf

are tight?

Yeah, I told you, Vince calls

into wolf's show every week.

So frank brings you

into the gang,

you hang out,

get some credibility,

you make these guys like you.

You get close to Vince.

Then, you use him

to get to know wolf.

This is my friend Nate

i was telling you about.

Hey, everybody.

14/88, brother.

Good to meet you.

All right, spread 'em.

Roy does our security.

Okay, fine.

Whoa, whoa, hey,

what the f*** is that?

- What's what?

- That! Under your f***ing

shirt there!

What is that?

Hey, are you a cop?

Hey, look me

in my f***ing eyes, boy!

Are you a f***ing cop?

- No, I'm not.

- No? Whoo!

He's fine.

Sorry about that, Nate.

But you know how it is.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Whoa, whoa.

Have a seat.

You drink bud?

Uh, yeah, absolutely.

Frank tells me you were in Iraq.

Uh, yeah,

three years in the corps.

- You kill anybody?

- Johnny!

He's Johnny. He's a fresh cut.

We're trying to

teach him the ropes.

I know the f***in' ropes, man.

Yeah, then mind your

f***ing manners!

So, did you? Kill anybody?

I don't talk about that.

But what I did see

was a lot of our guys go down.

Good guys... friends.

And for what?

I was on a wmd squad,

the whole reason we were there,

except we didn't find sh*t,

did we?

Hmm. So then I get home,

i started listening

to Dallas wolf.

Oh, yeah?

Dallas and I go way back.

Oh, there's a guy

I'd love to meet, you know.

He's somebody

who's telling the truth.

He's out there,

he's asking why were we there?

And the answer's

always the same.

Iraq, 9/11, osama bin laden,

what does it all come back to?

Look at every war

we've ever been in.

How many white men

slaughtered their brothers

in world war ii?

What, like a 100 million?

And for who?

Who's always

pulling the strings?

It's all here in front of us.

But most people are blind.

Look at this bottle.

You see anything funny?

You're talking about

the Jew tax?

What's the Jew tax?

Tell 'em, Nate.

Start looking at

the food you buy,

and you'll see this little "u."

The union of orthodox rabbis

gets paid to perform

a "blessing" on everything

in the grocery store.

For this "blessing," they rake

in billions of dollars in taxes.

We can't control the ketchup,

but we can control the streets.

That's how

it went down in Germany.

And we think of ourselves

as a sturm abteilung.

We are

a thinking man's soldiers.

First here.

And then here.

And that is where

the revolution starts.

We're not these

tired old kkk guys,

waiting for some catastrophe

to start a race war.

- We're the catastrophe.

- That's f***ing right.

And we need guys like you,

with military backgrounds.

We need best practices

in our security.

Come on, man, I think our

f***ing security is pretty good.

Well, always room

to improve, though, right?

Oh, yeah?

Like what?

Well, like, look at

the position of this booth

and then tell me,

without looking,

where the nearest exits are.

- What's your point?

- The point is,

of all the large

booths in this restaurant,

you picked the one

farthest from the exits.

If something goes down,

we're f***ed.

No, we're ready

for whatever goes down.

Yeah, with only you and him,

i don't know your name yet,
