The Believer

And it came to pass after these things|that God tested Abraham...

..and said to him ''Abraham, ''...

..and Abraham said ''Here I am. ''

And God said...

.. ''Now take your son, your onIy son|whom you Iove, Isaac,...

..and go unto the Iand of Moriah|and offer him as a sacrifice...

..on a mountain that I wiII show you. ''

So, everyone,|what's reaIIy going on here?

(boy) It was a test of Abraham's faith|and devotion to God.

(teacher) Danny?

As usuaI you have something to add?

(Danny) It's not about his faith,|it's about God's power.

God says ''You know how powerfuI I am?''

''I can make you do anything I want,|no matter how stupid. ''

''Even kiII your own son. ''

''Because I'm everything|and you're nothing. ''

(train rumbIes)

- Hey, yeshiva bocher!|- What?

Get up!

Get the f*** up!

Where do you think this is?

Did you f***in' trust?!

Your God's gonna provide a f***in' ram|instead of you? No!

Do me a favour.

Why don't you f***in' hit me, OK?

Hit me!

Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! F***in' hit me!|Hit me, please!

- F***in' kike!|- (gasps and coughs)

It wiII no Ionger be true that the country|has a unified set of core beIiefs.

We wiII cease to be a nation|in the traditionaI sense...

..and become instead a confederation|of interest groups...

..Iike medievaI principaIities.

At the same time, we wiII fIow into|the anonymous sea of the gIobaI market.

The economic advantages are obvious,...

..but the cuIturaI, psychoIogicaI...

Where l grew up in South Boston,...

..when a kid walked down the street,|everybody knew his name.

He runs out in front of a car, someone says|''Jimmy Dunn, get back on that sidewalk...

..and you stay there!''

After high school, he sees his uncle|at the gas works or the shipyard,...

..he gets his apprenticeship.

Eight years later,|he's making $16.50 an hour,...

..he's got four kids,|he's playing ball and going from...

Today, that kid walks down the street,...

..it's filled with trash,|half the faces are black,...

..the shipyard's closed, only jobs left|at the gasworks are set-asides.

And by the time he drops out of high school,|he'd rather get a job at the Burger King.

So he drinks, does crack, whatever.

When he hangs himself at 23, the only|people mourning him are his buddies...

..and his mom.

The soul of this country...

..is being destroyed.

And the only thing this government|can offer us is free trade, mutual funds,...

..and lPOs.

The average man...

..is crushed less by accumulated wealth|than by lack of leadership,...

..lack of community,...

..culture,...

..and a sense of emptiness|he simply cannot fill on his own.

That's why l'm a fascist.

lt's the only form of government that|can address our fundamental needs.

What about race?

This isn't the time for that.

l disagree.

l think race is central to everything|we're talking about.

Spiritual life comes from race, the blood.|Without that, we're no better than the Jews.

What's wrong with the Jews?

Carla.

The point is,|the modern world is a Jewish disease.

- All right?|- What disease?

Abstraction.

They're obsessed with abstraction.

So what would you propose, then?

Killing Jews.

That would be a catastrophic mistake.

- People hate Jews, do you agree?|- They used to. Today that's not an issue.

No. No, no.

Deep down, beneath all the tolerance|they learn on television, nothing's changed.

The very word makes their skin crawl.

And it's not even hate.

lt's the way you feel when a rat runs|across the floor. You wanna step on it!

You just wanna crush it. You don't even|know why. lt's a physical reaction...

..and everyone feels it.

Jew.

Which ones would you kill?

- Barbra Streisand. Kissinger...|- (laughter)

- Don't let celebrity obscure the issue.|- Which is what?

At first no-one would know|why they were being killed.

You wouldn't announce it?

l'd say nothing.

And after one or two, people would try|to find a reason, an answer.

And when it comes out, there'll be outrage.|lt will look like Germany all over again.

lsn't that what we want?

Germany all over again,...

- ..only done right this time.|- (muttering)

And when people find out that rich,|successful, brilliant Jews are being killed,...

..they'll be glad.

And they won't say anything,|not even to themselves.

Once someone says it aloud, they'll think|''That's exactly what l was thinking.''

- (muttering)|- And it'll all spread from there.

lt always does.

You're not in school. What do you do?

Drive a forklift|over at the Big Boy warehouse in Queens.

(clears throat) Young man,...

Lina Moebius. And you are?

Daniel Balint.

Balint?

lt's German.

Are you with the FBl, Mr Balint,|or any other law-enforcement agency?

l was about to ask you the same thing.

So,...

..what are you really after, Daniel? Hm?

Do you wanna just kill Jews|or do you have something larger in mind?

Curtis thinks your ideas|would marginalise us.

Curtis, we're already marginal.

That's our appeal. We're saying|what no-one else has the guts to say.

Who would you kill first?

llio Manzetti.

Former ambassador to France,...

..managing partner|of Damon & Schwartzchild.

lt's an investment banking house.

- He's Jewish, Manzetti?|- Totally.

His parents emigrated from Bulgaria|when he was 1 1 .

How would you do this?

l'd need some time to assess his routines|and security,...

..but ideally, on a New York City street,...

..midday, with a small-calibre automatic|without a silencer.

Why no silencer?

Cos you want it to be an event.

Why don't you come visit us in the country?

We have a retreat.|You might find it interesting.

Bring your friends, if you like.

He reminds me of Karl, when l first met him.

l thought we agreed. Anti-Semitism is|exactly what we're trying to leave behind.

l mean, killing Manzetti(!)

Did you see how they reacted to him?

Of course, in this room, where people|aren't embarrassed to call themselves Nazis.

- lt's a romantic movement. lt always was.|- Lina,...

Look, l don't care about the Jews|one way or another. But it has a power.

The 1000-year Reich barely lasted a decade.|You really wanna go down that road again?

ln America, of all places? Order and|discipline aren't exactly the national virtues.

He's very bright.

He speaks well.

- So what do we do with him?|- ''Bring his friends''(!) We're not his friends.

Hey, Danny, you f*** the girl yet?

- l liked her mom.|- Her mom?!

(car horn blares)

(horn blares persistently)

- (long blast of horn)|- F*** you!

Get the f*** out of the way!

- F***in' n*gger!|- Why don't you f***in' go back to Rwanda?

Shut up, motherf***er!

- Come on!|- (shouting)

(cries of pain)

(hums)

(man cries and moans)

- Like it in here?|- (distant voice) Shut the f*** up.

D'you ever read Mein Kampf?.

Hitler had some of his best ideas in prison.

- Daniel Balint.|- (keys jangle)

- Hey, shut the hell up!|- (man cries and moans)

Not going anywhere without them.

Can l use a credit card?

Be quiet. l don't wanna wake up my mother.
