He read Mein Kampf as a teenager and felt, in his own words, "something weird about that book." He changed his name, joined the Klan, and spent a decade sniping strangers from a distance. He wanted to start a race war. He did not start a race war.

Then he walked into one of the oldest Black churches in America and sat down for Bible study. He killed nine people. He reloaded five times.He was a rich kid from the Chicago suburbs who followed a charismatic leader, handed out pamphlets, gave interviews on camera, told a journalist exactly what he was going to do — and then did it on the Fourth of July.Episode 5 examines the Aries missionary: the person who takes the private wound, the personal insignificance, the rage of a life that never delivered what it promised — and converts all of it into a public mission.
