Oh, yeah,

I'm just flush with cash!

I'm trying to run

a 40-man investigation

on top of all the sh*t

I've already got!

Sir, the alliance is building

a compound outside DC.

Wolf's house is setting off

a geiger counter!

I spent six hours last night

reading your transcripts,

Nate, you don't have sh*t!

You don't have sh*t!

Look at how much carbon

is built up on this bolt.

- See? See that? Like--

- yeah.

That's unacceptable. When's the

last time you cleaned this?

I've been meaning

to get to most of them.

Okay, guys, seriously!

Okay, so we got an ar-15,

serial number a00724,

needs a new buffer spring.

Come on, guys, let's go!

We need to go through

the whole inventory.

Andrew's waiting on this.

I'm gonna have to tell Andrew,

the only way it's gonna change

is with new policies.

And how do I know it's

not me you're trying to f***?

F*** you, you calling us liars?

You get on the phone yourself!

Call them up and ask them...

Hey, guys...

Hey, Nate...

It's been a while.

Yeah, you kinda

disappeared on us.

I'm sorry about that, Vince.

I've been kind of busy.

Yeah, I bet you have.

Seems like you made a bunch of

new friends around here, huh?

See, we were just wondering

if maybe you could explain--

Roy!

Thanks for stopping by.

Be seeing you, Nate.

What was that all about?

Roy says the police

have been following him.

He's paranoid

about infiltrators.

Infiltrators, huh?

Yeah.

Mm. That's why the police

are on his ass?

Have you seen

how that guy behaves?

It's a miracle

he's not in jail already.

Right, uh, you want to

help us with something?

Sure, what's up?

I'm throwing a youth event

for Hitler's birthday.

There's a campground

a couple miles from here.

- Help us scout it.

- Sounds good.

It's amazing how much land

there is right outside DC.

Let me ask you something,

Nathan.

What's your opinion

on infiltration?

Well, how do you mean?

How do we prevent it?

Well, it's tough.

For one thing, you gotta keep

guys with rap sheets

out of important positions.

That's... that's how

they flip most people.

We have a polygraph

back at the compound.

Maybe we should

make everybody take it.

I mean,

i think someone who's trained

can beat a polygraph

without blinking.

Yeah, maybe we should

just do a background checks

for everybody.

Get everyone's records

and documents together?

Yeah, I mean, for informants,

that might work.

But for law enforcement, they

just forge whatever they need.

Yeah, but with a few

phone calls, you know,

a cover only runs so deep.

Do you suspect someone?

You know, it's like they say

at these rallies.

You look to the left,

look to the right,

one of these people is a snitch.

It's the left.

Turn left right up here.

You okay there, Nate?

You look a little off?

No, I'm good.

Just, uh, tired...

Been a long day.

Well, I think this is a great

location. What do you think?

Yeah, I like it.

Uh, well, what about

the permits, though?

We tell them we're

a Christian organization,

holding a youth event.

I gotta ask you something.

Roy said he contacted the nprc.

Said there's no record of you

having served in the marines.

You mean Roy

went and filed a 180

with a government that he

f***ing hates, just to... okay.

I was on a wmd squad,

so that's black ops.

And he knows that, the f***er.

Wait, hold on, are you guys

taking this seriously?

Is that what that

was all about in the truck?

Because, I understand

you have to do your

due diligence or whatever,

but that's a f***ing

serious accusation!

I don't need to take

that sh*t from anybody!

- Hey... hey, hey!

- Least of all from--

okay.

Let's get out of here.

Nate, listen.

We need to get the serial numbers first, and then--

no, look, I don't have

time for that!

What if he wasn't convinced?

What if he calls wolf?

The account name

is Nate foster, please.

You don't know

if he was convinced!

You don't even know if they

talk, okay? You're being--

yeah, I'd like $7,500 in cash.

You're a man of your word,

which is a rare thing

in this movement.

So, listen, Dallas,

my investor is very excited,

but he wants to know some more

about what you're planning,

some details.

Oh, okay, I think it was

all in the presentation,

but we start

with online in tampa,

and then we move down the--

- no, no, I mean, beyond that.

- Beyond Florida?

Beyond the show,

like what we talked about.

The actions we're gonna take.

I'm sorry, Nate. I lost you.

What do you mean?

What I mean is, you have been

talking a lot about a lot of

big things that are coming.

Bigger than Oklahoma city,

bigger than 9/11--

oh, yeah, for sure.

Which is why expanding

the show is so important.

Right, and I have been

spending a lot of time with

Andrew at the Aryan alliance.

He told me

you'd been working together.

Well, yeah, sure,

i mean, he came to the rally.

No, no, what my investor

needs to know is what are

the concrete steps that you are

taking to start the race war.

As I said to you before,

I have the expertise,

the connections, the tools.

Maybe there's some kind

of misunderstanding.

I thought we were talking about

expanding the show.

Yeah, which my investor

is happy to do,

but if you're not willing to be

honest about the other actions

you're taking,

then he's not gonna

be able to support you.

Okay, Nate, fair enough.

Sorry it didn't work out.

I saw the plans, Dallas,

for the water system.

Andrew showed them to me, okay?

So, I know all about it,

and now I just need you

to stop pretending

and be honest with me.

This is private property.

You're no longer welcome here.

I'm asking you to leave.

Come on, Dallas.

I'm on your side.

Get the f*** out. Now.

F***.

We're going to the office,

Dallas wolf is there.

You brought him in?

No. He came to us.

Sir.

I didn't know you'd be here.

Has anyone talked to him?

No, no, of course not.

No, it's your show.

So, Dallas.

Or should I call you Randy?

That is your real name.

You can call me whatever

you like, agent zamparo.

Any reason you're using

an assumed name?

I'm a public entertainer.

Ah... fine.

So, tell me

why you're here today.

I'm here because of

the guy I called about.

He shows up at my conference,

talking about investing

in my show.

But then, he's telling me

how he can get

highly regulated items.

And talking about

plans to the water system,

and threatening me!

His name is Nate Thomas,

and if he does anything crazy,

I don't want to be

associated with it.

Hm. Did he give you money?

- He tried to.

- How much?

- $7,500.

- Wow. That's a lot.

- Why would he do that?

- Because he's a wacko!

A lot of these

nut jobs approach me.

But this guy

is on another level.

So you have no idea

why you, of all people,

would be approached

by this guy?

No, agent zamparo, I don't.

Right. Let me play you

something, okay, Randy.

I have information

about a truck accident

outside DC last night,

involving classified

radioactive material,
