647-285-1989.

647-285-1989.

That's your number,

isn't it?

Yeah.

647-285-1989.

Did everything

we could think of

to track down, uh, this guy,

Mark Tucker,

who'd written the article.

I contacted Time.

They said that he had

left the magazine years ago.

Literary agencies,

publishing houses,

the article seemed to be...

T-u-c-k-e-r?

the sole evidence

of this guy ever existing.

You think

that Mark Tucker

is an alias?

So then

we had the crazy idea

we would take everything

that we had found out

about the Tarsus Club,

put it online,

and see what came

out of the woodwork.

Come here.

Anything?

What?

What is this?

F*** off.

What are we on?

Nothing.

This is

my, like, little escape.

Oh, this is the farmer

website thing

you're always on.

It's called

an off-grid community.

It's being built

in northern Alberta.

Dude! Oh, f***!

You're a**holes!

F*** off, man! Come on!

It's, like,

completely self-sufficient.

We're gonna grow

our own food,

like, dig our own wells.

There's a group

of 50 of us planning

on building this thing, so...

You know, it's like

sometimes I just feel like

just... start over.

Get away from

this whole f***ed-up world.

Last night, Aaron

got an email, um, from someone

saying that

he wanted to meet

on the conspiracy

chat room site.

Said we can talk

about Murray Chance

and the Tarsus Club.

The thing is that Aaron

in what he posted online

never mentioned

Murray Chance.

So we'll see.

Mmm... 'kay.

Uh, we're making

a documentary film.

Why? Who are you?

How do we know

you didn't just Google

the article in Time?

Right.

How do we know

that you didn't just

Google

the TiMagazine article?

Well done, Bernstein.

Who's Bernstein?

Woodward and Bernstein?

Just give me

a VU reading over here.

Kevin?

That's good, yeah.

I was doing a bio piece

on Murray Chance

and his family,

and quite by accident,

I stumbled on the fact

that the Chance family

going back generations

had attended

this annual retreat

held by an organization

called the Tarsus Club.

Now, I was told

that these meetings

were not about setting

policy or agenda.

But the more

I looked into them,

the more I realized

this couldn't be further

from the truth.

Very real

and tangible shifts

in world financial markets,

in foreign policy,

and even in

so-called random events,

coincided

with these retreats.

But in your article,

you make it sound

like it's just a group

of rich white men

getting together

and having a good time.

It doesn't seem really

all that nefarious.

That's because when

my editor at Time Magazine

found out

what I was reporting on,

he butchered the article.

Then why not get rid

of the article entirely?

Well, it's in the group's

best interest to have

a little bit of information

out there about themselves.

A total media blackout

is a void

just asking to be filled

by fertile imaginations.

I wouldn't be surprised that,

in the very near future,

that Tarsus purposely

lets a little bit

of information out there--

um, news story,

press release,

something that

has the appearance

of being objective,

but has been

engineered by them.

So that they can

control the message?

And it also acts

as a little bit of a warning.

You know, they allow you

to get a glimpse

of how powerful they are.

A warning for who?

People like yourself.

People who have

discovered the truth.

Did this man

ever contact you

about the Tarsus Club?

Couldn't honestly say.

But your friend

may have tried to contact me.

But you have to understand

that my article

is the only mainstream

document out there

that people can find

actual information of Tarsus.

But the truth is,

most of these guys

have monikers

and they're far

too suspicious ever to meet.

So where is

all of this leading?

What is it specifically

that the Tarsus

organization is after?

Three words:

new world order.

We have before us

the opportunity

to forge for ourselves

and for future generations

a new world order,

a world

where the rule of law,

not the law of the jungle,

governs the conduct of nations.

When we are successful,

and we will be,

we have a real chance

at this new world order.

A blueprint

of a one-world government,

a single organization

that controls every nation

and every person

on this planet.

Alice Bailey, H. G. Wells,

Adolf Hitler, Gorbachev,

George Soros,

Herbert Walker Bush.

Um, all these people have

at some point or another

called for

a new world order.

A new world order

is likely to emerge

from the current

economic crisis.

It's about the future

of the whole region.

It's about the future of Europe

and a new world order.

I think a new world order

is emerging,

and, with it,

the foundations

of a new and progressive era

of international cooperation.

Mysterious attacks

that justify war,

trade deals

that erase borders,

stock market collapses

that shift billions in wealth.

All these events

that gradually shifted

more power

into fewer hands,

the hands of seemingly

disconnected individuals,

who are, in fact,

all linked

by one common element:

Tarsus.

Didn't you guys

get the idea that Mark

was, like, ex-CIA

or something like that?

Oh, man, totally.

Like, uh...

Like a retired spook

or something, yeah.

What?

Well, I think it's...

I think it's

really important... .

No, listen to me.

I'm serious.

That we don't get

ahead of ourselves

with this guy.

For everything

that this guy

spoke about,

I can find

10 other guys

that can challenge

and refute him.

For all we know,

we're just

talking to Terrance

in better clothes.

Dude, this is real!

This is not

some fringe fabrication!

You know, he's talking

about real facts, right?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

What are

you looking at?

Is that the same guy

that was in front

of Terrance's place?

Get--

Get that on camera.

Uh, I don't know.

It does look like him.

It is, right?

I don't know, man.

Get this on camera.

I want all of this

recorded.

Yeah, yeah.

Get inside the drawers.

Hang on.

Just get the desk.

Hang on.

It looks like they got

about 40 bucks

and a pair of sneakers.

I think

this is the one time

Aaron being broke-ass

is a good thing.

WOMAN:

I think when Aaron's apartment

was burglarized,

a line had been crossed.

At least a line had been

crossed in Aaron's mind.

The police didn't find

any evidence

to suggest that it was anything

other than common thieves.

They certainly didn't find

anything to suggest

that it was at all linked

to the film

that they were making.

But I think at that point,

it almost didn't

matter who it was.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks

for inviting me here.

Oh, um, probably put

your stuff on the couch.

Come on in.

Right here, dude.

No, you know,

I'm good, I'm good.

CAMERAYeah?

Mm-hmm.

No, I'm good.

You know,

it was one thing

when we were

filming Terrance.

You know, that was--

That was

something strange,

and it was out there,
