Louis Theroux s01e03 Episode Script

1 One, two, three This is perfect.
- I'll just make a square like this.
- And then the other way.
What? Why are you laughing? Hey, that's easy too.
OK.
Do you need music? Sometimes I wonder if you know how that stuff comes across.
Mom, it's track seven.
That's an ancient Aryan good-luck symbol.
Do you care about people's feelings? Of course I do.
I think I'm a pretty empathetic person.
Because irrespective of what the political reality is - as you see it, as other people see it - there's a lot of people who Oh, you mean all the Jews that might be really upset at seeing a swastika? - They might be offended? - That makes you cause more offence? I'm not doing it to cause pain to somebody, just because I find it entertaining to put a swastika on the floor.
You told me to act normal, you told me to do stuff I would normally have done.
When my kids and I go to the beach, sometimes we draw swastikas in the sand and you guys are nowhere around.
I wonder why we do that? Maybe because we just want to, because it's neat looking.
You just can't comprehend it.
You don't seem to understand my way of thinking, but I do somewhat understand your way of thinking because I used to be somewhat of a brainwashed lemming like yourself.
- No offence.
- None taken.
For several weeks, I'd been living among a community of true believers, trying to find the humanity in people whose world view is probably the most abhorrent and discredited conceivable.
But, so far, I wasn't having a very easy time of it.
My journey began three weeks earlier in Fallbrook, California - a small town half an hour outside San Diego.
I was on my way to meet one of America's most notorious racists.
A grand dragon of the KKK in the '70s, a congressional candidate in the '80s and now the leader of White Aryan Resistance - a self-styled revolutionary group.
His name - Tom Metzger.
Hello.
How are you doing? - Pretty good.
- You must be Tom.
What branch of the government are you from? I'm from the BBC, the broadcasting arm of the government.
The heavy duty boys, huh? Come on in.
Are you Tom's better half? Yes, I am, actually.
- Oh, yes.
She's my better half.
- He doesn't admit that too often.
- I gotta say that.
- Yes, you do.
Come on, coffee.
I mean, are you a Nazi? I think I'm more serious than most of the Nazis I've met.
I'm a pan-Aryanist.
I believe in white people all over the world sticking together.
Here's the latest paper.
So the main work you do is Newspaper, internet.
WAR.
Stands for? White Aryan Resistance.
What have we got there? Well, this is a typical white whore and a black guy.
What is the problem with a white woman going out with a black man? Most black men are ugly, number one.
You think you're better looking than Denzel Washington? - Yeah.
- Do you really? - Yeah.
- What if you were outvoted? If I had the money and the power making movies, I'd get ten times more women than him.
Do you really believe that? That seems delusional.
Well, I believe it.
I don't know whether it's delusional or not.
Denzel Washington's in there because they have to do that.
But just on looks, you gotta You can't really believe that.
He's not bad looking.
He's not as ugly a nigger as most.
- Like Kobe Bryant.
- Why did you use that word? I use it all the time.
I never used to use it.
Would you not use it around me? Not use it? In my home I'll use it.
If you don't want me to say it in a restaurant or out someplace, I won't.
But in my home I'll say whatever I want.
- Then it's up to you.
- That's your right.
- Right.
- As a favour to me though.
No.
If I decide I want to say nigger, I'll say it.
That really upsets you, don't it? Hmm It doesn't really upset me.
Good.
Then we'll go on, show some more cartoons.
It makes me think slightly less of you.
That's OK.
I'm not here to adopt you.
Well, I got a lot of CDs.
A lot of skinhead music there.
- That one? - Yeah, that's Hey, leave him alone.
Yeah.
What is the point of having a lynching of a black man on a CD? I think it's conveying a message that if a black person is out of line badly, then it's fine, they should be lynched.
But we'll probably let the sheriff or the police do it.
Don't you think that's quite shocking? I want them all out.
I don't want to hang one at a time.
Are you kidding? That's too slow.
We want them all out.
- Do you really? - Of course.
We don't need them.
They're a pain.
They drag us down.
But, on the other hand, they can have their own nation.
Their own police, their own military.
We don't want any part of them.
They should be happy.
- The blacks are always saying how - Don't you think that's shocking, Mary? To have a picture of a black guy being lynched on a CD.
It's par-t of history.
I don't think it's terribly shocking, no.
- I think somebody knocked at the door.
- Yeah.
Would that be Lynne? I don't know.
She said four.
Oh, it is four.
Laurie.
My long-lost little angel.
Who is Laurie, Mary? - She's the youngest daughter.
- OK.
- Hello, guys.
- Hello.
How do you do? I'm Louis.
Nice to meet you.
- What do you do, Laurie? - I work at Starbucks.
- Do you? - And I go to school.
Do you consider yourself a racist? No.
But I think in everyone's own way that everyone is racist because my whole life, you know, all throughout school kids - white, black, whatever - would hate me because of my last name.
- Really? - Yeah.
- You pointed at me.
- Well, I mean - Why would they do that? - Not because of you "Metzger? Ooh.
Is your dad Tom?" Because they had heard of Tom Metzger as a leading racist? Even now today at work, people talk about me and Could you go out with a Jewish guy? I mean, I can.
I'm of age.
I can do my own choices.
Would you worry about what your dad would think? Maybe a little, but Not much.
I'm not going to ask for his approval.
- That wouldn't make me too happy.
- Well, I'm not.
- I know you're not.
- What would you do then? Well, I would not have a Jew with my daughter in this house.
Period.
It bespeaks a kind of hatred really.
No.
I hate the people who cause me to hate.
They kill my friends, they imprison them for life, they give them many more years than they do the common black Negro.
- They rape and torture our people.
- That is such bull.
Don't you read the crime statistics in your own country, For Christ's sake? Don't you read what blacks do in England? I do.
Excuse me.
It had been a long and, in some ways, depressing day.
I'd found Tom's attitudes exhausting and I was still more confused when the karaoke bar he took me to turned out to be largely non-white.
I could only assume that for Tom karaoke sometimes took precedence over racism.
The next day and Tom was taking me to meet his recently-hired manager, John Malpezzi.
John was supposedly a show-business veteran with a long list of Hollywood contacts.
Exactly why a Nazi needed such a manager was still unclear to me.
- How do you do? - Fine.
You must be John.
- And you must be Louis.
- Yes, I am.
One of the most important things that I do is arranging for his bookings that are outside of the country and that are specialised bookings - the appearances that he does.
We've got a lot of things planned for this year.
We've got several that are up and coming that you've probably heard of and are invited to.
We're looking forward to a very busy year of raising his profile internationally even more than it is.
Why? - Why not? - That's his job.
That's my job.
Has John seen the paper that you put out? - Of course.
- Yes.
I don't know how much he's read it, but he's seen it.
There again, I don't grab anybody by the lapels including my manager.
- No.
- I don't like that.
And, remember, I am an adult guy that's been around a long time.
Would it be appropriate to, um show you a couple ofyou know? Now, if you're gonna read If you're gonna read "on fire" type of stuff and ask, "Do you agree with this?" I don't wanna go there because that is not what this is all about.
People I've known if you pulled that on them and you were in their airplane they'd throw you out of the airplane over the jungle.
If I did what, John? If I did what? Well Let's continue, OK? - I love this guy.
- He is good.
It was all a little bit weird and I still didn't understand how exactly John and Torn fit together.
But I'd heard that John had had a colourful career prior to working with Torn and I wondered whether that might help explain their relationship.
Back at John's house, I seized my moment to ask.
Was there some? You had some sort of a run-in with the authorities and, er - Wait a minute.
What is this? - What? Didn't you tell him? You told him, didn't you? Didn't you spend time in prison, John? Sure, why not? It's all public record.
- What happened? - He's on the run, don't tell anybody.
I'm on the run here, openly and notoriously.
I'd rather not discuss that.
You can't talk about that? Let me put it this way.
I represented a lot of Come on out.
I'll show you the view.
The view out here.
I represented a lot of large clients, like Pablo Escobar and guys like that.
You were some kind of big kingpin cocaine dealer? Me? Little old me? Oh, jeez.
Seriously? Everybody needs an attorney, even guys like Pablo Escobar.
This is the view here And how long did you get? What was your sentence? Well, I was looking at 85 years which at that age would have meant a life sentence We beat it, actually, and wound up doing three and a half.
- And I'm not ashamed to say that.
- What was the conviction? Urn Cocaine trafficking and related charges.
Today Today, folks I'm not into that business.
You have to move on, you know.
And, remember, Louis, every guy that I ever got Who John was and how much of what he said I could believe was still all rather vague to me and possibly to him too.
But it seemed clear that Tom trusted him and I was intrigued by their relationship.
Some days later and Tom was booked to speak at a skinhead rally.
For him to make a public appearance was quite a rarity.
Usually he confined himself to his internet chat room and his phone Zines.
I was curious to meet a few of his supporters face to face, so a few days before the big event, I decided to visit one of the organisers - a skinhead named Skip.
- How are you doing? - Good.
Good morning.
- Shall we come in? - Come aboard.
- Skip, I'm Louis.
- I know.
You have a camera.
- Good morning.
- How are you doing? Introduce us to your family.
How are you doing? Sydney, come here.
Here, Sydney.
Come on.
This is my youngest, Sydney.
- This is number two, Rhiannon.
- Hi, Rhiannon.
- This is number one, Kerney.
- Hi, Kerney.
- My lovely wife, Heather.
- Hi, Heather.
- My baby brother, Lenny.
- How are you? Lenny.
- Lenny.
- Baby brother.
Baby brother.
- Good stuff.
- Welcome to paradise.
Yeah.
So this is where you live? This is where it all happens.
Where the magic happens.
Watch these cats don't come running out.
We're going in.
It's just a regular house.
It don't look nothing like the garage because You know, I am responsible too at the same time.
- Would you call yourself a skinhead? - You bet.
Fuck, since '83.
You know we've been making a documentary about Tom Metzger.
Do you regard him How do you view him? I've been following him since '83.
Every move, all the skinheads.
He's done a lot of good.
He's a good patriot.
Would you consider yourself white racist too? - Yeah, definitely.
- And Nancy? - You don't look - We're not big conversationalists.
Yeah.
She seemed on the fence with that.
You seemed a little on the fence there.
- On the fence? No.
- No.
I think you're on the fence here.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I'm on the media I'm the media.
I don't come I'm not sort of like disguising That's like an insult to say someone's on the fence.
- Why? - They're not in our group, probably.
Get off the fence.
Pick a side.
Be there.
That's what it's all about.
I didn't mean to insult you, Nancy.
I apologise.
So if I told you I was Jewish, would that create a problem between us? Because you've got the camera I'd allow you to stay.
If not I'd probably kick your ass and put you in the street somewhere.
- For real? - Pretty much.
A Jew wouldn't be here on my property.
- Are you Jewish? - Do you mind if I don't answer that? That's not I'm not saying yes or no.
So you're on the fence? - You're on the fence.
- I'll tell you why.
I'm not a racist and I actually think it's wrong to be a racist.
So I feel as though by By saying whether I'm Jewish or not I'm kind of acknowledging the premise that it really matters, when I think it shouldn't and it doesn't.
We're leaving these for the girls.
I wasn't sure how long I'd be welcome but I thought I'd enjoy it while it lasted.
As the afternoon passed, I could almost have convinced myself that I was feeling relaxed.
But something was still bothering Skip.
How about that? Louis's a Jew.
I already know it.
I already know it.
You're a Jew.
That's why you've got so much animosity.
We can't say you don't look like a Jew.
You're a Jew.
- You're part Jewish.
- And don't say, "I'm not" because you think somebody's gonna beat you up.
Why will it make any difference to you whether I am or not? I like to know who's been in my house.
We don't care if you're a Jew, Christian, a fucking spic, Mexican, nigger.
You look kinda Jewish.
You got an accent like these lads.
- He's not Jewish.
- Look at his face.
But you, frankly, we look at your face But we would like to know.
We want to know if you're a fucking Jew and if we've let you into our house to film our fucking everyday ritual Are you a fucking Jew? I don't feel as though - maybe you disagree - I don't feel as though I've compelled you to say anything.
- I feel as though I've been respectful - You have.
I'm not even debating the fact that you've been respectful.
I don't think I would interrogate you to the point where if you said, "I don't want to talk about that", I would say, "Let's talk about something else.
" So I'd like you to respect me in the same way.
Can we turn the camera off for a second? Pull the plug.
- Pull the plug for a second.
- What for? - Nothing crazy.
Don't get all fuckin' alarmed.
- No, it's fine.
Just to feel like we're not being filmed.
- I would really rather not say.
- I would really rather you tell me.
I've exposed myself, I've exposed my family, I've exposed my brothers, my sisters and my children.
Expose yourself now.
- I'll answer anything - Can I speak to you for a minute? - Let's leave it at that, can we, Skip? - We will.
Just a second.
Let's go inside.
Let's go inside.
I thought it was time to leave.
It was the day of the skinhead rally and I was back at Tom's.
Yo, yo, yo.
Are you ready to go to the Hate-nanny? - Is that what they call it? - The Hate-nanny.
With a certain amount of trepidation, I was returning to Skip's place for an all-day White Power music event at which Torn would be the keynote speaker.
I still hadn't seen Torn among fellow racists and I was curious how he would be received.
Is this it? Second house on the left.
White Power, brother.
Tom had told me that he speaks at one or two rallies a year and that by skinhead standards this was a major event.
Hi.
How are you doing? Nice to meet you.
That's fine.
You wanna take a picture of me? With me? We're gonna get our picture taken.
Thank you.
I was hoping that Tom would be my guide through what promised to be, for me, a pretty strange experience.
But with a public to meet, Torn no longer seemed to view me as a top priority.
As a member of the supposedly Jewish-run media, I suspected he found my presence in his entourage a little embarrassing.
- A good turnout, huh? - It's good.
Any of you guys want to talk about Tom for the documentary? Any of you guys want to talk about Tom? I gotta go back here.
I felt like the school kid no one wanted to be friends with.
Then the next act came on stage.
This was the first time I saw the singing duo, Lamb and Lynx.
- Can you hear me out there? - Here's Tom.
Oh, it's good to be here among all you racists! I'll start you out, OK? Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Out! Out! Out! Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Out! Out! Out! This is revolution.
Revolution.
Revolution.
Just keep your powder dry, boys.
Don't waste yourselves, don't jump too soon.
Just wait.
Wait till they come out.
Let them get right out there.
Oh, boy.
I can hardly wait.
I've always said I wouldn't leave California cos this is gonna be the start of the second American Civil War.
Right here in California.
- White revolution! - White revolution! - White revolution! - White revolution! - White revolution! - White revolution! Thank you, thank you.
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
Having my morning popsicles.
- How are you doing? - I'm a little tired, but I'm OK.
How late did you stay there? We left about nine, I guess.
What is it you like about the skinheads? I like them cos they're not hypocritical.
They're out in the open.
They are what they are.
They don't give a damn what anybody thinks.
But they are strong racist and we need 'em.
Don't they turn off a lot of the public? "A lot of the public" doesn't mean a damn to us.
We're not trying to recruit the general public.
What would we do with 'em if we had 'em? They sit on their ass watching television 20 hours a day, they're feeding their mouth full of crap, all they wanna do is buy, buy, buy.
What good would they be to us? We're talking about revolutionary activity.
We want the leaders out there in the public, but not the public.
We're trying to reach those people that really know what's cooking.
I sensed Tom and I needed a break from each other, so I decided to drive up to central California to meet the two little girls I'd seen at the rally - Lamb and Lynx - and their manager and mother, April.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You must be April.
Nice to see you again.
We met at the rally.
Shall we come in? - Which is Lynx and which is Lamb? - I'm Lamb and the one there is Lynx.
- Hello.
- I'm Louis.
Very pleased to meet you.
Remember him from Saturday? - Maybe we can do a recital later.
- Yeah.
I think that would be good.
I want to tell you about South Africa And their so-called fight for freedom The much-praised black resistance And the Communists who lead them Not too far away in Angola And near home Zimbabwe The Marxist black dictators Are looking south and fair to say Strike force, white survival Strike force, yeah Strike force gonna kill our rivals Strike force into the devil's lair Do they? They don't seem old enough to really know what that's about.
Well, I've explained it.
So what's the ANC? It's um African National C African National - Congress.
- Congress.
Right.
And what happened in South Africa? The blacks are killing the whites.
- Out of their homes.
- And in Zimbabwe? - Yeah, and in ZimwabeBinzabwe.
- Zimbabwe.
They seem a little young to get into politics and racial issues, maybe.
Yeah, but they've got to start some time.
- How old are they? - 11.
They're 11.
What is the idea behind creating this group out of themthat sings? I think Lamb and Lynx's music and their appeal, especially as they get older They're going to be an example and they're going to show how being proud of your race is something that would be very appealing to young teenage girls.
I mean, what young man, red-blooded American boy, isn't going to find two blonde twins, 16 years old, singing about white pride and pride in your race Very few are not gonna find that very appealing.
So what? I'm just curious about how What school do you go to? - We home school.
- You home school? - So who teaches you? - My momma.
Mom.
There we go.
OK.
Who wants what? Baloney, ham or salami? So is there a man of the house, April? Yeah, there's my fiancé.
And he, er declined to be shown on camera because of his occupation.
He's worried.
We have the same belief system and he's very supportive of everything and, actually, he'd love to appear but he worries that it would cause him to lose his job.
What does he do? He's an educator.
Are there things that they're forbidden that other kids have? Gameboys.
We don't - Yeah.
I'm not much for the Nintendo.
- People get so caught up What about on racial terms though? We've got Ethnic Cleansing but we don't play that very often.
- What's that? - That's a A computer game that the National Alliance puts out called Ethnic Cleansing.
It's basically a shoot 'em up computer game in which a skinhead goes through a ghetto and shoots blacks and Mexicans.
- Do you like it? - Mm-hm.
It's really hard though because, of course, all the people that you shoot have guns too.
- They shoot back.
- They hide in bushes and stuff.
They're like perched up on basketball hoops and stuff and climbing on trees.
So when you hear the gorilla sound - they make gorilla sounds - it goes, "Ooh-ooh-ooh!" and you go like that and then you shoot it.
Is that a good idea, April? - It seems a little - Vulgar? OK.
After lunch, Lamb and Lynx were keen to show me their horses, stabled a short drive away.
I got the skinhead army thingy.
Who's it by? It's Max Resist but I think it's a cover by somebody else.
I think somebody else like Landser To all white nationalists all around the world.
United we will win.
White power! They call me Nazi and I'm proud of that They call me racist and I shout it out loud I'm proud of my race, I'm proud of my [and White brothers and sisters come and raise your hand We're an 88 rock 'n' roll band We're an 88 rock 'n' roll band We're an 88 rock 'n' roll band Playing and fighting for race and [and We are marching on the streets at night Boots and braces, we are ready to fight Out, gook, out Run, nigger, run White Aryans are saying no fun We're an 88 rock 'n' roll band Playing and fighting for race and [and If anybody asks out here why we've got a cameraman following us around I guess we'll just say you're interviewing us about the kids' music.
Why is that, um? I just don't want somebody messing with my horses because you know, and hurting my horses because of my politics.
Do you have to lead a double life? I've never really had to before because I've never really been in this situation.
It's really hard for me to be covert, though, because I'm just so It's just like so much - It's like in every pore.
- I've noticed.
Would you have a problem if Lynx or Lamb brought home a friend of another race? Yeah.
I probably wouldn't be real happy about it.
What would you do? I would probably tell them not to.
I would probably tell them, you know if that's what you're gonna do, don't bring them home.
This is the way I would see it.
First, it's the "friend" - it's OK to have the nice black friend.
The next thing it's the nice black boyfriend.
- And you'd have a problem with that? - I would never speak to 'em again.
That would be it.
If they were race traitors then they wouldn't that absolutely would be I wouldn't have anything to do with them and I've told them that.
- I consider - That's easy to say but the maternal instinct's got to be one of the strongest instincts in human beings.
You're saying you would completely go against that? Have no contact with your child? I would be so disappointed.
I would just be so disappointed.
Come on.
Come on, Becky.
I couldn't quite believe the almost reckless intensity of April's racism.
She seemed to revel in how outrageous her beliefs were.
I wondered how Lynx and Lamb would grow up and how they'd feel about their mother once they'd left home and were able to think for themselves.
Later, we headed off to meet April's father.
I'd heard he was also a proud racist and I was hoping he might help me to understand how April came by her beliefs.
Louis Theroux, BBC.
Nice to meet you.
- You must be April's father.
- Yeah.
- This is my dad, Bill Gaede.
- Bill Gaede.
Can we look at your cattle brand? The ranch logo? I'm not sure what the right expression is.
It's the cattle brand.
How do you view April's beliefs as far as preserving the white race? I think it's great.
You gotta preserve it, certainly you should.
Doesn't it? My family were Vikings in Denmark in the 12th century.
It seems to me it's going to preserve itself just fine and there's no need for any radical action, as far as laws or campaigning.
You're sitting under a manhole cover.
- You can't see anything.
- Why is that? You can't see it cos you're not here.
You can't see what's going on.
Right now, all the people are so politically correct, they wouldn't say "shit" if they had a mouth full of it.
But now the people are beginning to see what's going on and their backbone's beginning to straighten up a bit and get a little stiffer.
- All the white people are.
- I'm a multiculturalist.
- Are you? - Yeah.
When you get married, are you gonna marry a white person or a nigger? - Huh? - What do you usually date? Do you usually date white women? - So far - That's what you find attractive.
- Does Jewish count as white? - No, not in our books.
Why not? I think we should hope that he marries some Jewess.
- Won't that be funny? - A m.
Yeah.
A Jewish American Princess.
You're gonna be She's gonna have you right there.
- What's your name? - Louis.
"Louis! I want a new ring, Louis! "Bring me my coffeetea, Louis! "Come and flush the toilet for me, Louis.
I can't put the handle down.
" So is that where you get it from, April? The biggest gift that I got from my father was to not give a rip about what anybody else thought.
What you thought, what you really knew in your heart, was the right thing to do.
It didn't matter if every person was against you, if you know what you believe is right you can have the strength to Fight against everybody and stand strong against everyone.
And I believe that I inherited that I think, in the genes and then I was taught that also.
I owe my dad a lot for giving me that.
That was a gift.
Back in Fallbrook, and I had a date with Tom and John.
For some days they'd been talking about the idea of going to Mexico.
The exact purpose was unclear, but I thought it might be a chance to see Tom in a different environment, so I thought I'd tag along.
You're going to love to see Tom in Mexico.
Why? You're gonna see what an international politician does.
These are my medicines here for myself.
He's a racist politician, so it'll be interesting to see him among In a racist country.
They will respect him They're racist down there.
You didn't know that? Follow me.
Hey, Louis - He's afraid of getting kidnapped.
- No? Yes, he is.
Every time he goes to Mexico they try to kidnap him.
- So we'll be in your car? - No.
We'll be in your car.
So what is the plan when we get there? Why don't you tell him the truth? You just want to get to that whore down there.
That's what you're really saying.
I wouldn't refer to a lovely lady like that as a whore.
Well, if you pay money she's a whore.
Boy, that's a mouthful.
- We're in.
We're in.
- Watch it now.
- Stay in this lane.
- Why are you getting in the middle lane? Downtown.
Get over to the left.
Left lane, Louis.
You got more backseat drivers than ever.
Right turn.
I was still curious what form Tom's ambassadorial trip would take and was surprised when John began directing me to Tijuana's tourist bars.
- I want a sombrero.
- They're right down there, those shops.
- Let's go.
- Let's have a drink first.
Yeah.
Let's get a drink.
The drinks are down there too.
Montserrat.
Soy YO- Hello.
I'm Louis.
Un guy como um What's his name? Geraldo Rivera de Inglaterra.
Hi.
- You got a documentary following you? - Yeah.
Where are you from? - Sacramento.
- I was head of the KKK in California.
- No shit? - Yeah.
- What happened, you get kicked out? - No.
I quit.
- Skinhead now, I see.
- I'm skinhead now.
You guys need me in Sacramento.
That's a fucked-up place.
- It's all fucked up.
- We got Schwarzenegger.
- He's going to terminate - The black nigger.
He's going to terminate the state.
Hey, you think he's gonna save us? Bullshit.
- You sound like a racist to me.
- I am a racist.
- I'm not a racist.
- You're not? Don't you want your grandchildren to look like you? I don't give a shit what my grandchildren look like.
Man, you're killing me.
Good choice, Tom.
The ambassadorial visit was degenerating into a pub crawl.
It had all become rather chaotic.
Do I need another hat? Rings? I need a bigger hat.
Swastika rings.
No swastika? - He might have some in this store.
- Do you have any swastika rings? Swastika.
Where's Tom? Where's Tom gone? Several tequilas later, we lost Torn in a souvenir shop somewhere.
When he resurfaced, he seemed even more drunk.
He was concerned that he could have been attacked or kidnapped and accused John of neglecting his security duties.
I don't depend on anybody who runs any town.
I depend on my security.
When I walk out of a place and my security is not there Well, did Louis leave you? You don't seem to understand, John.
What I'm trying to tell you is there are certain towns that are run a certain way and I am totally wired-in down here I don't give a shit how you're wired-in.
I don't trust anybody else.
Nobody's town, nobody you know.
I trust my friends.
- My security next time is coming with me.
- But if I can walk around here My friends are concerned about my security.
If I can walk around with a fucking hat on my head, looking like a clown - Your brain's full of pussy.
- No, it's not.
You think I'm not a racist, I'm just as racist as you are.
No, you're not a racist like I am.
Cambio, por favor.
I'm gonna make a bet.
Put my dollar down.
You would fuck Montserrat and I wouldn't.
- Why? - She's not white.
I gotta go pee.
The day was winding to a close and I reflected on Tom's fears of being kidnapped.
I felt this was Tom at his most unguarded and what struck me was Tom's fantasies of his own importance.
In the car on the way home, John made a last attempt to salvage something from the international trip.
Tom, tell us about Mexico.
What did you think about it? I think it's a very interesting place to visit and I think a lot of Aryans should go there and carve out something like a country.
That might be something I'm thinking about.
When I saw how well you could get on up there, Tom, it made me think, maybe maybe you'd abandon racism.
Maybe you'd find that you didn't really it wasn't something that you needed any more.
Let me answer that.
You don't understand.
Right.
Tom is actually You don't understand, Louis, it's like Go through the next gap.
Go up the hill.
Go up the hill.
- Here's what we're gonna say.
- He doesn't understand.
He doesn't because because the Mexican guys Let Tom answer, John.
I don't want him to answer right now because it's been a long day and my client is tired.
He's tired.
- Mary? Hi, dear.
- It's locked for a reason.
We've got one rather drunken gentleman with us.
Ft was at!' a far cry from the statesman's visit that John baa' advertised, I had to keep reminding myself that Tom was supposed to be one of the most dangerous racists in America.
It was my last day with Tom.
For some time I'd been badgering him for a chance to see him at his day job.
You stay here.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Friend or foe? - We haven't worked that out yet.
- OK.
Stay here, boy.
- That's a work in progress.
- I gotta keep my dog back in there.
He's so used to running in the car, sometimes I have to leave him here.
Tom's a TV repairman and today he was picking up a TV from one of his most faithful clients.
- Do you want a hand with that, Tom? - Sure.
Wait, I gotta open up the back door.
So, anyway, I have known Tommy for many years.
- You like him? - I like him very much.
If I'm not here, I leave my key That much I trust him.
Do you know about his politics? Yes.
Well, we don't argue about politics.
I know him as a man.
He's got his ideas and I have mine.
It does not interfere with it.
He's a friend of mine for a long time.
How about that? You have a slight accent.
Where are you from originally? - From Peru.
- From Peru? Peruvian.
- I never asked you that myself.
- That's true, Tommy.
- And your name is? - Oscar.
And, of course when his wife was alive - We had a big house.
- That's right.
They used to live in a house on the other side.
Oscar was saying that as far as politics, you agree not to talk about it.
Right.
That's right.
- That's absolutely right.
- I respect other people's ideas.
You all right with that, Tom? - You get the other side.
- No.
- Come on.
- Oscar believes in free speech.
- Do you know how much he'll charge? - I don't care about that.
- He knows I'll never cheat him.
- He is the best technician.
- Would you consider Tom a friend? - Yes.
Absolutely.
No hesitation.
Yeah.
And you'd consider Oscar a friend? I believe so, yes.
Sure.
We've had a long association.
Longer than my girlfriend.
I've only known her ten years.
Don't tell Mary that.
You're one of the most famous racists in America, maybe the most famous, and there you were saying that you were friends with this guy who looked to me non-white, or at least mixed-race, and it just seemed inconsistent.
I thought that was weird.
Well, maybe you need to be educated in the ways of the world.
How do you mean? Don't you see that as inconsistent? That you would say you have a friend who looks like he was mixed-race? Louis is hanging on this friend thing.
A very abstract word.
I would not debate the term "friend" on the man's doorstep.
You and I can debate it.
I don't want to hurt the man's feelings.
There was more to it than that, Tom.
I felt warmth between you.
That's just an association - you know these people - and common courtesy and politeness.
Do you really not see what I'm trying to say? I see what you're trying to say but your brain is twisted.
I think your brain is twisted.
Then we both agree that we believe each other's brain is twisted.
- The facts are on my side.
- Your brain will stay twisted You have friends who are non-white and you pal around with people who are non-white and you're living a happy life - in a multicultural community - Whoa And you keep pretending that you're a revolutionary but the facts of your existence completely undermine that.
- Doesn't that totally fit your package? - It's the truth though.
- It is the truth.
- This is funny.
Your day-to-day life is a standing refutation of everything you profess to believe.
- It's not.
- It is.
Follow me to a hostile meeting and I'll show you.
They'll be trying to kill me and I may have to try and kill them.
As abhorrent as his views were, I found it hard to take Tom totally seriously.
He seemed to like being seen as a dangerous figure, but was all the while enjoying the fruits of a multiracial democracy.
I felt there was a touch of karaoke about this supposed international politician.
I was still puzzled by John though and thought I'd pay him one last visit to see if I could pin him down, We'll look at the cartoons.
OK.
"How far will niggers go to compound the misery of an unfortunate situation?" "How about looting during a major hurricane?" How do you react to that? I don't have any reaction at all.
Do you think what's in this paper is the truth? - What this paper is - You're not just - What this paper isis - Just say no.
- .
.
Some very hardcore opinions.
- Why don't you just say no? Because that would not be the truth.
Is it wrong or right? Does this paper tell the truth or is it a pack of racist lies? The paper tells the truth and it tells the truth in a way that appeals to a certaindimension of his readership.
You think this tells the truth? You really think it tells the truth? Tom Metzger always tells the truth.
Ah.
So? I was heading back to central California to see April and the twins.
I'd heard that April had booked a studio for Lamb and Lynx to record the first few tracks of their debut album - to be titled Fragment Of The Future.
This would be my last day amongst the Nazis and a final chance to challenge April on her indoctrination of her daughters.
My stickers keep on sliding.
Would you like to go out with skinheads when you're ready to start seeing boys? - Sure.
- Yes.
Why? Because.
- I would.
It's cool.
- They're very special people.
What did you say, Lynx? They're very special people.
They're important people.
Why are they important? Because they're very dedicated to what they believe in.
Would you mind, April? Would you be cool with that? - With them dating a skinhead? - And maybe getting married.
Yeah, if he was a good, hard worker and he wasn't spending his time boozing it up and causing trouble.
To me they seem kind of angry and sociopathic.
They just don't seem that way to me.
When you see them maybe Maybe it's because you're just so freaked out when you see people salute.
Maybe I'm just not meeting any really good ones.
- Maybe.
- The marriage material.
- Hate for hate - And Ruth for Ruth - Eye for eye - And tooth for tooth - Scorn for scorn - And smile for smile - Love for love - And guile for guile - War for war - And woe for woe - Blood for blood - And blow for blow - That's pretty.
- Mm.
So do you think you'll go to school one day? Maybe next year when we're ready.
Mom says in a year or twomaybe.
Do you know why she doesn't want you to go to school now? Umyeah.
One of the things is because we're having a little bit of money problems.
I thought your mom didn't want you going because she disagreed with what they were teaching.
- Also that.
- But she wants us to go to high school.
But we may not go.
That's new, dudes.
Lamb and Lynx were due to go to a school carnival with some friends.
April had told me that Lamb and Lynx's friends don't know that they're being raised as racists.
I wondered how leading this double life would affect them in the long term.
I knew it was hopeless but I thought I'd try and talk to April.
- You guys are going now? - Are you going? Yes.
It's been a pleasure working with you.
- Don't.
- Have a nice time at the carnival.
Thank you.
- You should give Louis a hug.
- Goodbye.
- Bye, Shaggy.
- Bye.
- Bye, girls.
- Have a nice time at the carnival.
Have you thought about the implications of indoctrinating Lynx and Lamb in this way? Of course I have.
Have you had second thoughts or misgivings of any kind? I don't want to teach them to be politically correct just because that's the easy way out I understand that, but I don't think that means - This is not the easy way.
- It's not a choice between The choice you face is really to bring them up judging people fairly or not.
That's kind of, I think, what you want to think about.
I don't understand how I'm not doing that.
- I don't have kids, but - I think a person A person who tells their children that all people are created equal and that men and women are equal In my mind they're lying to their children.
They're blatantly lying.
Do you realise what a handicap that will be for them in life? No.
It won't be.
That they'll be going through life with thisdual mindset - - what their mom's told them - They shouldn't have to go through and how normal people conduct themselves in the world.
Well, but I believe that we're normal and we're correct and that other people are distorted.
So, yes, I understand that I'm raising my children in a perverted world - a perverted multiculturalist world.
I think what it's about really is judging people based on who they are, not your prejudice about who they are.
Giving people a chance.
I find other races annoying.
They bother me.
I Find them annoying.
I don't like their chattering in other languages, I don't like the way they lookyou know.
I mean, 99% of them I just find the way that they look just really They're not pretty, they're not attractive to me.
I don't want to be around them.
I don't like the way that they act or how their children behave.
I don't like the way they deal with situations.
I don't like the Fact that they seem to make everything messy and dirty.
I don't like to be around them.
I want to be around all-white people.
- But I feel like I can't do that - I'm not being facetious but I'm not being facetious but have you ever thought about getting therapy? What you have is almost like a pathological Have you ever thought about therapy and maybe realising how brainwashed you are by multiculturalism? I feel like I'm pretty well connected to reality.
Well, see, I feel that I am too.
- It's just - But you're outvoted.
- Huh? - Basically, you're outvoted.
What, here? In civilised thought, basically.
My journey through the world of Nazis had reached a frustrating conclusion - with an argument in a kitchen with a mother of two.
I seemed to have made no impact on April during my time with her and I had to keep reminding myself how anomalous her beliefs actually are.
Somehow it wasn't much consolation when the ones who would pay the consequences were her children, Lamb and Lynx.
- See you later.
- Bye.
Did I ever tell you the thing about? - About Denzel Washington? - What about? - That Tom said.
- What did he say about him? He said that he thinks he's better looking than Denzel Washington.
I think Tom is too.
We're going to make a mug out of Tom's head.
I want to trademark his head.
That beautiful head.
What, you would drink out of here? Eryeah.
You wouldn't enjoy your drink out of that.
I sure would.
People like mugs and his head would make a good mug.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Louis.
