but now the FBI is trying

to cover it all up. Why?

You've gotta be kidding me.

It's a radio show.

It's entertainment!

So you think it's entertaining

to predict and incite

terrorist attacks?

Whether I think it's

entertaining is irrelevant.

Why don't you talk to

somebody around here

who knows something about

the law, preferably a man!

Brandenburg vs. Ohio, 1969,

it is not illegal

to advocate violence.

The first amendment

doesn't protect people who have

knowledge of an actual crime!

What knowledge

of a crime do I have?

Well, why don't you tell me,

Randy? What is this accident?

What is this FBI cover-up?

Why are you living

at an unregistered address?

And why is that location

lighting up a geiger counter?

You've been following me?

You've been casing my house?

Why don't you

answer my questions?

Let me show you something.

Do you mind?

Help yourself.

From the white action network

blog, aryanmother88 writes,

"i was driving down

301 last night,

and the FBI had cordoned off

an accident with Hazmat tape.

I haven't seen anything

on the news.

So what is the zog

covering up?"

As for the unregistered

address, I live with my mom,

and I'd like to keep that

private, if it's okay with you?

And your geiger counter

is lighting up because

I have prostate cancer!

I know your type.

You think

you've got it all figured out,

and you don't know sh*t.

I'm an entertainer.

I do this for money,

and for fun.

And I don't give a f***

about zog or the race war

or any of that sh*t.

I tell these jackasses

what they want to hear,

and they worship me for it.

So f*** you, agent zamparo.

Can you open the door, please?

- Now, tom, look...

- Now, tom, look, what?

Really, what could you

possibly have to say?

Because this is

a f***ing disaster!

I warned you,

i tried to tell you.

- We still might have

a weapons case!

- We ran those serial numbers.

Every single one of those guns

is legally registered.

Every one!

Okay, so you think there's

nothing to any of this? Right?

The prepaid cellphones?

The barracks for 200 guys?

- The water system plans?

- They're conspiracy theorists!

It's all talk!

He keeps those plans around

to trot out when he wants

to act like a big shot!

What are they gonna do,

they're gonna put radioactive

material in the water supply?

That doesn't make

any f***ing sense!

You two, you pull this from here

and that from there,

and you're making up this whole

big f***ing story in your head,

and it's bullshit!

You know,

we see what we want to see!

Well,

now you've compromised him,

and you've compromised

the bureau,

and you've wasted

all our f***ing time!

This happens sometimes,

you know?

- I mean, it sucks, but--

- "this happens"?

Is that all

you're gonna f***ing say

after we find out all of this?

Everything you f***ing put me

through has been for nothing?

It's the nature of the work.

No! This... this happened

because of your pet theory!

And like an idiot,

i went along with it!

"Oh, yeah, she's an expert,"

i thought.

"She knows what she's doing!"

I'm sorry, Nate.

F***ing why?

Why are you even sorry?

This has been great for you!

You got the thrill back!

You got the excitement

you've been wanting,

you got an escape from

your little suburban life,

- by manipulating me!

- No, that is not fair!

I thought we had a case!

God, do you even know how many

dead ends I've been down?

No, you f***ing knew!

You knew I was so eager,

so desperate

to do something meaningful,

to actually work on

a real case in this place,

that I would do

anything you wanted,

while you just sat back

and enjoyed the ride!

Yeah. F***!

Nate!

Hey, good to see you!

I've been calling you!

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry about

that, I've been really busy.

I just wanted to return these.

I'm heading out of town

for a couple of months,

gonna work on setting up

the business on the west coast.

Oh, wow, wow,

well, please come in.

Uh, that's nice of you,

but I don't think I can.

Aw, come on,

just for a cup of tea?

Is everything okay, Nate?

Yeah, yeah, why do you ask?

Well, you said

you're headed out west.

Yeah, I'm gonna work on

setting up the business

on the west coast.

Right.

God, it's hard to find

what we're looking for in life.

But then, I listen

to something like that.

One man made something...

That will make millions,

maybe billions of people

feel the way we just did.

We all have that power, Nate.

All of us.

Honestly... I used to

feel that way, Gerry.

I always felt like

i could change the world.

You know, I could right wrongs,

you know, fight injustice.

Nate, listen, it's guys like us

that feel these things the most.

Idealists.

Yeah, I just keep

thinking about that quote.

"For evil to triumph,

it only takes good men

to do nothing."

But how? You know, f***ing how?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Gerry,

i shouldn't be...

- It's all right.

- I'm just really tired.

You know, Nate,

maybe you're

going about this the wrong way.

The rallies, the speeches,

the politics...

That's not how

the change is gonna come.

It's gonna come from

the unknown soldiers,

from the leaderless resistance.

How do you mean?

Let's go out back.

I made some improvements

to the tree house.

Talking frankly is something we

have to be very careful about.

- Something we always do

outdoors.

- Right, of course.

You know, I've thinking

about this for a long time,

Nate, years really.

What's needed is an event.

What kind of event?

An event that wakes people up.

They're sleepwalkers out there.

They're blind.

Think about this regime.

Media brainwashing,

secret courts,

mass surveillance,

waco, Ruby Ridge.

Using Katrina and 9/11

to set up "refugee camps,"

or "detention camps",

in other words,

concentration camps,

because who cares about

the rights of a few arabs,

n*ggers and racists,

if it makes us safer?

Right? That's how it all starts.

All the lies that the zionists

tell about Nazi Germany,

that's what's

actually happening right now!

The irony of it!

Right?

That's why we gotta be smart.

That's why the event

has to force the zog

to show its hand.

It's gotta reveal the men

behind the curtain.

Because it's not the event

that wakes people up,

it's the reaction to the event.

Yes! Yes, you get it!

Yeah, look at the sons

of Liberty. Look at the ira.

That is how

you start a revolution.

Yeah, yeah, I always felt

this kinship with you, Nate.

And... I wanted to talk

openly with you,

but I just haven't

known you that long,

but I know in my heart,

i can trust you.

You can. You can, Gerry,

i want to help.

I want to make a difference.

Okay.

I still got connections

from my Africa days.

Okay, and we have the means

to create that kind of event.

But, Nate,

if you get involved...

...we may not live to see

the world we're building.

But I'll have

helped to build it.

A man's body dies,

but his deeds live forever.

There's a way you can help us.
