Scott re-enters the life of an undercover agent with a new assignment: infiltrate a chapter of the KKK. With white supremacist violence on the rise, he finds himself in the middle of a field in Alabama - about to join the Klan.
Who is Scott and what undercover work has he done before?
We're back in Knoxville now, sitting in Scott's barn, the Barn Dominium. It's hot, so the air conditioner in the house has kicked on. The barn has a tin roof, and it's starting to rain. The more Scott talked about his career, I started to imagine him as a kind of Forrest Gump of the undercover world.
Moving from investigation to investigation, finding himself at the crossroads of the most urgent issues of our times. Crack cocaine, the biker wars, the opioid epidemic. In between, he would take shorter undercover roles, cameos as they're known. He had at least three murder-for-hire cases where the targets believed he was a hitman, and after they hired him, they were sent to prison for years.
Scott has never killed anyone, but he looks like he could have. Scott was never an outlaw biker, but he rides a motorcycle. And Scott's not a drug dealer, but, well, who hasn't indulged in a pot gummy or two? The point being, to be a good undercover, as he says, you have to walk that line. But you also have to draw on what you know, your skill set. You're a tatted biker from the South, right?
Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, I could be a truck driver. I could be. I'm not a Wall Street person. I tried. They were like, nope. I'm like, all right, fine. I guess I'll go get hired to kill somebody.
This is let me ask this in a sensitive way. You also have infiltrated all the white supremacy cases.
Not all of them. No, no, no.
But you know what I mean? Like you this is this is a place you can go to.
I'm white.
But I couldn't. I mean, I grew up in Canada.
