- Okay, yeah.

- Come here.

We need to talk

to the s.A.C., now!

Oh, my lord,

who the hell wrapped it?

You guys aren't trying

to give it a bath!

Oh, hey, guys!

Sorry abut that,

just having some technical

difficulties over here.

- No problem!

- Be right over...

- Okay, one, two...

- Hey, Morgan, David...

I want you

to meet somebody. This is Nate.

Morgan, good to meet you.

- Greetings, sir. I'm David.

- Hey, you guys.

So is the wedding out here?

Yeah, it's right over here.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Wait till we see it all lit up.

Pure of spirit and pure of race,

these two souls commit

themselves to the defense

and prosperity

of their sacred blood.

May their sons and daughters

fill this land,

forever honoring their duty to

folk, kindred, soil, and honor.

I know you guys

don't know Nate that well.

But he's a good man

and he's a good soldier.

If you trust me,

you can trust him.

No luck yet.

No one wants to sell

to an anonymous buyer.

If we give up

that prepaid phone crap,

i use my real name,

I got three guys

i can get it from right now.

If we do it the morning of--

yeah, I thought we were

at least trying to do this

without getting caught?

Guys, guys, shh. Nate has

a potential solution for us.

Tatp. It's much better

than ammonium nitrate anyway.

A smaller quantity will

give you a much bigger blast.

Yeah, well, sure,

but where are we gonna get that?

I run a medical supply company.

And you're gonna get tatp?

I know it's not

the easiest thing,

but I've got some connections.

I can make a few calls

and loop back with Gerry.

Assuming I can,

what are we gonna do about

the cesium powder itself?

Ready when we need it.

No, I mean, how are we

going to handle it?

Well we've got heavy gloves,

and we've got goggles.

No... radioactive particles

will pass through those

as easy as anything else,

including your skin.

- Well, what do you suggest?

- I think we need suits.

They'll be pretty bulky,

but we only need to wear them

when the powder's

out in the open.

When do we need them by?

Well, we've just been

waiting for the explosive.

If you can get the tatp,

Sunday is our day.

You guys remember

Timothy McVeigh's last words?

Yeah, he read invictus.

"It matters not

how strait the gait,

how charged

with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul."

Are you sure

this is gonna look right?

Wow. It looks great.

The secret is the smell.

Where's the bleach powder?

Oh, it's right over here.

And you're sure they're not

gonna try and test this somehow?

Yeah, that's why

terrorists love tatp.

You can't identify it

without a mass spectrometer.

Okay, if you say so.

Yeah. Uh-huh, yeah,

I'm here now.

Sunday, so team's in place

Friday night.

Look, can I just say

I'm sorry about what

i said to you the other day.

I was exhausted.

Don't worry about it.

That's what this job

does to you.

Keep at it another ten years

and you'll turn into

a real a**hole... like me.

It's totally secure.

We can keep everything in here,

and then, on game day,

we can use this space

to put it all together.

Great, great.

This is great, Nate.

And here is...

...the tatp.

- No problems, inquiries?

- Nope. All good.

Morgan's a pharmacist.

All right.

Hm, these crystals

seem a little small.

Smells about right.

Okay, let's test it.

Test it? You got a mass

spectrometer in your bag?

No, we'll just see if it burns.

What? No, whoa, whoa!

Hold on, what do you mean?

Burn it?

What are you talking about?

Well, we use a sample,

we set it a light.

It burns for a while

before it explodes.

I saw it on YouTube.

Are you insane? Do you know

how dangerous this stuff is?

Hey, you are not

the only one with experience!

This is a highly

unstable substance, okay?

It's sensitive

to heat, friction--

which is why

I'll do the test carefully!

Now you want to see the video?

Because I have it here

on my phone!

I don't give a sh*t

about what's on your phone!

We are not

lighting this stuff on fire!

You know how many bomb techs

i saw get their faces blown off

trying to deal

with this stuff in Iraq?

I've worked with this company

for two years!

They are not gonna send me

a container full of baking soda,

okay?

Gerry, this doesn't

work for me, okay, if he doesn't

trust me, or my suppliers--

we need to test

the f***ing stuff!

You don't f***ing

trust me or my suppliers,

that is your problem!

You want to use

ammonium nitrate, fine with me!

- Okay.

- Fine with me.

Nate, Nate, Nate.

It's all right.

It's fine, it's fine.

Morgan, Morgan, he's right.

Come on. He's right.

So, can we see the suits?

And it's kind of

hard with the gloves,

but... and you zip that up

and fasten along there.

You guys, what would be worse,

radiation poisoning

or wearing this thing

around for a couple hours?

Yeah.

So if you ever have any doubt

white men created civilization,

just go have a look.

How do you reason

with someone like that?

How can you ever hope

to change their mind?

Hello?

Hey, hey, listen,

something's wrong.

David drove to Frederick county

early this morning

and went to a farm supply.

It looks like he bought

ammonium nitrate.

And now they're all at Gerry's.

But it's Saturday?

And why do they need

ammonium nitrate?

I don't know. Me and Hernandez

are heading over

to meet the surveillance team

at Gerry's now.

- What are you going to do?

- I don't know!

No! No!

You can not raid them yet!

You don't even know

if they have the cesium?

And Gerry's phone's off.

Okay, I have to go over there.

No, Nate! It--

Nate...

...Come here!

- What are you doing here?

- I was calling, you didn't

answer. I got worried.

- Bullshit! Why are you here?

- I just told you!

I'm gonna give you

one more chance.

Okay, what the f***

is wrong with this guy?

I called three times,

you didn't answer any of them!

I got worried

something happened to you!

All right, put it down!

He's telling the truth!

- Were you followed?

- - No, I wasn't!

- Are you sure?

- Yes! I was worried,

so I was checking constantly!

Okay, calm down,

everybody calm down.

Okay, can somebody tell me

what is going on?

I sent David to do surveillance

on your shop last night.

I saw an electrical crew go into

the building across the street.

- So?

- In the middle of the night?

Could there be like

a power problem?

No, they must have

traced the tatp you ordered.

- Okay, if they're

on to the shop...

- F***.

...they're on to you.

Are you sure

you weren't followed?

- Yes!

- If he said he wasn't,

he wasn't!

Stay calm

and keep your eyes open.

Morgan, get back to work,

please, Jesus.

We had to move forward,

immediately.

It would have been

only a matter of time

before they were on to us, too.

And you weren't

gonna let me know?

Nate, I'm sorry. It's too risky.

Well, he's here now,

let's get him to help!

What about the tatp?

David got

ammonium nitrate instead.
