but I could

leave it out there.

Now it's

followed me home.

I just want to go

back over a few things

that we discussed

uh, last time we met.

I mean, how do you

quantify the decision of...

Why doesn't anyone

ever try to do anything

about these people?

You know,

like, uh, expose

them, uh, something?

What is it

that really happens

at these things?

You wrote, um,

"The drinking

and deal-making

"all ends at midnight

when the attendees

participate

in the ritual hunting

and slaughter

of the bull. "

What's that about?

The ritual.

The ritual is based

on an ancient and highly secret

set of beliefs.

Which are what?

The worship of Mithras.

The cult of Mithras

was both an association

and a religious cult

focused on the worship

of this god, Mithras.

Mithras was a deity

that first appeared in Persia

over 4,000 years ago.

Now, according to the myth,

he was born

on the 25th of December.

He died and was resurrected

three days later.

Bear in mind,

this was 2,000 years

before the birth of Christ.

Many scholars believe

that this is the basis

of Christianity.

Mithraic caves,

where they secretly worshipped,

have been discovered throughout

the former Roman Empire

from, um, Scotland

to Russia,

from the Sahara Desert

to the heart of India.

This was essentially the world's

first truly secret society.

So, yes,

there probably were

quite a few Mithraists

who had the ear

of quite powerful people.

I don't know about, uh,

modern secret societies

with wide agendas.

Again, if I did,

I wouldn't tell you.

The depiction of Mithras

hunting and killing

the bull

is to the Mithraics

what the Crucifixion

was to the Christians.

It is the central image

of their belief system.

Would you like to see

the Mithraic secret handshake?

Just do what I do.

Follow my movements

exactly, okay?

Okay.

It's a regular handshake.

The custom that

we have of shaking

our friends' hands

when we meet them

on the street

or when we seal

a business deal

comes directly from

the secret handshake

of the Mithraics.

The first-ever depiction

of people shaking hands

in human history

comes

from a 4,000-year-old

carving of Mithras

shaking the hands of

the Syrian King Antiochus.

We live in a world...

We're going

to turn the bull loose.

that has been built

and guided

by cultural forces

that exist behind those

we see in the forefront.

These are politicians

arriving at or leaving

a Tarsus meeting in '06...

'04...

'02.

That's .

He's been a strong advocate

of pushing Canada

towards

a North American Union.

He's also a frequent attendee

of Tarsus retreats.

Coincidence, I'm sure.

Holy sh*t!

Did you take these?

SARAH:
Yep.

I've tried approaching

news agencies.

No one

will touch this stuff.

What's that one?

SARAH:

That's the bull hunt.

It was taken

outside Prague in 2002.

It's one of

the only known photos

of a Tarsus ritual

in progress.

This is a lens?

Yeah,

and it just, uh...

just clips

right on your tie...

Okay.

um, just like a tie clip,

so that's it.

Oh, look at that.

Now, does that record

to the same tiny drive

as the other one?

Yeah.

That is badass.

So what are you guys

using this for,

if you don't mind

me asking?

Uh, no. Yeah.

We're infiltrating

a secret society.

Okay.

Thanks.

I don't know.

Slow down. We'll see.

F***.

What?

He's there.

He's still there?

He's still following us.

Are--

Are you sure?

Okay, make

a right up here,

make a right up here.

Let's just keep

testing this, okay?

All right.

Just keep turning.

God. F***. F***.

Can you go?

I can't go

into traffic, man!

Pull into

this parking lot here.

Why?

Just pull

into the parking lot.

There's lots of people.

Why am I gonna pull--

Lots of people there!

It'll be safe.

Just pull in here.

Okay. Okay, good.

Okay.

He's there?

Aw, Jesus Christ.

He's here.

Shh. We'll just...

What's he doing?

He's leaving.

Thank God.

It clips.

Aw, f***.

Got my fingerprint on it.

Okay, how's that?

Can you see it?

Yeah, I know what it is.

I can see it.

Of course. I'm saying

if you didn't know

what it was,

would you notice it?

How they get a camera

in one of these f***in' things?

What are you guys

using those cameras for?

What are you

using them for, Jim?

Nothing.

We're not using

them for anything.

I don't give a f***

about the film anymore.

You don't give

a f*** about the film?

This has gone--

It has gone too far.

This is not

about the f***in'...

Shh!

This is not about

the f***ing film, okay?

Do you have any idea...

Dude, dude, dude.

what would happen to me--

Okay, will you please

just tell me,

are you too scared--

what would happen to me

and my family

if I would get caught?

I understand.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Are you too scared,

or do you...

I need to know

if it isn't that

you're too scared.

Or do you not believe

what's right

in front of your eyes?

I really don't think

that Jim's mind

is capable of accepting

that the world

doesn't work the way

that, you know,

he was always

told it works.

You know, okay, all right,

for a minute,

let's say that Aaron

is right, okay?

Let's say

they're all right.

It's all true.

That there are these people

that secretly run things.

Then they've

always run things, okay?

And they always will!

Is it still there?

Yes,

it's still out there!

Come on,

come on, come on.

It's still

plugged in. Hang on.

Quiet!

You got it?

I'm coming.

All right, f***.

Is it the same one?

Oh, yeah, definitely.

F***.

Shiny black chrome,

tinted windows.

What's going on?

Nothing, babe.

Go back to bed, okay?

What are you guys doing?

Who's out there?

No--No one's

out there.

Jim, what are you guys

looking at?

It's good.

God, Jim.

45 minutes.

May be just a hired car

for an airport run.

And we're

just gonna sit here

and watch it all night?

It isn't anything.

I'm sick of this, man.

I'm sick

of being afraid.

F*** it.

F*** it, you know?

This is what they want!

This is what they want,

so f*** it.

Aaron, just settle down.

Aaron,

keep your voice down.

Just wait a second!

Aaron, what are you doing?

Aaron!

Hey! Hey, a**hole!

We're not afraid!

We don't even know

if it's the same truck.

It's the same f***in' truck.

That's him.

Do you have the cash?

All right, come here.

Okay.

Good.

You boys sure

you don't want to come?

All right, man.

Bobby. |

Later, dude.

We close?

Okay.

We get separated

for any reason,

let's meet back here.

Is that it?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay,

let's get comfortable.

You don't

have to come.

Really.

You could just leave.

Let's get

the f*** outta here.

JOHN F. KENNEDY:
The very word

"secrecy" is repugnant

in a free and open society.

And we are as a people

inherently and historically

opposed to secret societies,

to secret oaths,

and to secret proceedings.

For we are opposed

around the world

by a monolithic

and ruthless conspiracy

that relies primarily

on covert means
