Summary

Murph talks with retired FBI agent Scott Payne, a law enforcement veteran with a harrowing and heroic story. Known for his deep undercover work, Scott takes us inside his mission to infiltrate the Outlaws motorcycle gang, one of America’s most dangerous criminal organizations.

Scott recounts a terrifying moment when he was stripped at gunpoint, unsure if he would make it out alive. This chilling experience highlights the brutal psychological toll of undercover work and the razor-thin line between survival and exposure. His career didn’t stop with bikers—Scott later tackled opioid trafficking, domestic terrorism, and extremist ideology, including a deep dive into accelerationism and radical online recruitment targeting vulnerable youth.
