Dave Hall, (Wendt) the biker, making it on a medical disability was arrested on marijuana charges and rather than face prison time "talks" with a FBI agent named Tym Burkey. Dave becomes well adept as a mole in Pastor Redfeairn's organization, first by being invited to become a member of the Aryan Nations, then being selected to head the propaganda arm of Redfeairn's organization. Dave builds enough trust in Pastor Redfeairn to be unoffically ordained a pastor. Pastor Redfeairn has hopes of being named the replacement leader of the whole Aryan Nations once national leader Richard Butler steps down. Dave then would be in line take over Pastor Ray's ministry. After exposing a plot to bomb a federal building in Texas, Kale Kelly (Vecchio) is arrested. Kelly, trained by the military as a sniper and explosives expert was fingered by Hall as being the person for the FBI to watch. All this has had an effect on Hall and he begins to suffer physically due to the over two year undercover investigation. It wasn't until Morris Dees, a southern lawyer, sued the Aryan Nation and won over $6 million in a civil suit for two plaintiffs. This and the info supplied by Dave Hall finally brought the Aryan Nation down. Produced by Cary Miller and Associate Producer Maria Veronica Garibay.
