(theme music plays)

2
00:00:16,604 --> 00:00:18,128
WALTER WINCHELL:
The year: 1930.

3
00:00:18,273 --> 00:00:19,968
The nation locked
in the grinding Depression

4
00:00:20,108 --> 00:00:21,370
takes time out.

5
00:00:21,509 --> 00:00:23,534
The month: December,

6
00:00:23,678 --> 00:00:25,475
when men sing
of brotherly love,

7
00:00:25,613 --> 00:00:27,638
of peace on earth.

8
00:00:27,782 --> 00:00:29,215
(laughing)

9
00:00:29,350 --> 00:00:30,681
Merry Christmas!

10

1
00:00:04,692 --> 00:00:06,683
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,071 --> 00:00:18,163
(whistle blowing)

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,173
WINCHELL:
The 20th Century Limited.

4
00:00:20,241 --> 00:00:22,641
24 hours from New York's
Grand Central

5
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:25,645
to Chicago's
LaSalle Street Station.

6
00:00:25,713 --> 00:00:28,147
On the night of June 3, 1932,

7
00:00:28,216 --> 00:00:31,708
one very special train
carried hot cargo.

8
00:00:31,786 --> 00:00:34,778
Joey Lassiter, a legend
in his own time,

9
00:00:34,856 --> 00:00:38,348
as the greatest inside man

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:05,015
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,739 --> 00:00:19,570
Anything wrong, Mr. Ness?

3
00:00:21,442 --> 00:00:24,434
Not anymore.

4
00:00:24,579 --> 00:00:26,376
You're under arrest.

5
00:00:30,251 --> 00:00:32,811
Another stalemate, Mr. Ness.

6
00:00:34,822 --> 00:00:35,789
Put the gun down, Bauer.

7
00:00:35,924 --> 00:00:37,357
Come out with your hands up.

8
00:00:37,492 --> 00:00:38,481
I don't want to kill you.

9
00:00:38,626 --> 00:00:40,150
I wouldn't talk if I were you.

10
00:00:40,295 --> 00:00:42,729
I wouldn't talk or move.

1
00:00:04,225 --> 00:00:06,216
(theme music playing)

2
00:00:17,171 --> 00:00:19,139
WALTER WINCHELL:
In the summer of 1932,

3
00:00:19,207 --> 00:00:20,504
there were
12 million unemployed

4
00:00:20,575 --> 00:00:22,099
in the United States.

5
00:00:22,176 --> 00:00:26,169
Things were so bad, even
the bootleggers went hungry.

6
00:00:26,247 --> 00:00:28,477
That is, hungry for profits.

7
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:31,041
In Chicago,
the whiskey syndicate met

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:34,520
to consider ways and means
of stimulating sales.

9
00:00:34,589 --> 00:00:37,854
The meeting took place

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,071 --> 00:00:20,837
WALTER WINCHELL:
Chicago, December 18, 1930.

3
00:00:20,909 --> 00:00:22,934
In a swank academy
on the north side,

4
00:00:23,011 --> 00:00:24,535
a distinguished group competed

5
00:00:24,612 --> 00:00:27,479
for the pocket billiard
championship of the world.

6
00:00:27,549 --> 00:00:29,881
Thousands of dollars
hung on every shot.

7
00:00:29,951 --> 00:00:32,476
And on Chicago's south side,

8
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:34,681
another contest--
Herbie Catcher

9
00:00:34,756 --> 00:00:38,192
was playing eight ball

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,438 --> 00:00:20,430
WALTER WINCHELL:
Bonnie Street, Chicago, 1929.

3
00:00:20,508 --> 00:00:22,100
A street made to order

4
00:00:22,176 --> 00:00:23,541
for killing.

5
00:00:23,611 --> 00:00:27,206
Tonight, December 12,
was the climax

6
00:00:27,282 --> 00:00:28,249
of a plan.

7
00:00:28,316 --> 00:00:31,149
The man behind it, Arnie Kurtz.

8
00:00:47,535 --> 00:00:49,901
(gunfire)

9
00:00:52,874 --> 00:00:54,671
(crashing)

10
00:01:08,089 --> 00:01:10,080

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,005 --> 00:00:18,996
(train chugging)

3
00:00:28,383 --> 00:00:30,476
Hey, we should have been
in the Olympics.

4
00:00:30,552 --> 00:00:31,576
Couple of Charley Paddocks.

5
00:00:31,653 --> 00:00:32,813
(laughing):
Yeah.

6
00:00:32,887 --> 00:00:34,445
Billy, we should have waited
for the next one.

7
00:00:34,522 --> 00:00:35,454
Where was it going?

8
00:00:35,523 --> 00:00:36,455
I don't know.

9
00:00:36,524 --> 00:00:37,650
Bring the paper?

10

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,038 --> 00:00:19,529
(toy train whistle blowing)

3
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:28,005
All right, Doctor,
plain English now--

4
00:00:28,149 --> 00:00:29,673
what have I got?

5
00:00:29,817 --> 00:00:32,115
Medical science
doesn't really know a great deal

6
00:00:32,253 --> 00:00:33,777
about this disease.

7
00:00:33,922 --> 00:00:35,617
You got some medicine, though,

8
00:00:35,757 --> 00:00:37,281
you brought some pills,
something?

9
00:00:37,425 --> 00:00:39,825
In the later stages,
your illness will be accompanied

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,539 --> 00:00:18,733
(playing "Call to the Post")

3
00:00:18,873 --> 00:00:20,465
WALTER WINCHELL:
July 4, 1930.

4
00:00:20,608 --> 00:00:21,836
Independence Day.

5
00:00:21,976 --> 00:00:25,537
40,000 patriots jammed
Chicago's Arlington Park

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,114
for the Stars
and Stripes Handicap.

7
00:00:28,249 --> 00:00:33,186
Arnold "Spats" Vincent
was among those 40,000.

8
00:00:36,057 --> 00:00:40,721
So were Eliot Ness
and his Untouchables.

9
00:00:47,335 --> 00:00:49,394
They were there

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:25,246 --> 00:00:26,770
Mike.

3
00:00:26,915 --> 00:00:29,076
The captain wants to see you.

4
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:37,787
(knocking)

5
00:00:37,926 --> 00:00:39,655
Come in.

6
00:00:46,301 --> 00:00:48,030
Well, come in, Brannon.

7
00:00:50,805 --> 00:00:52,739
I did all I could for you.

8
00:00:52,874 --> 00:00:55,468
I spent two hours with
the front office this morning.

9
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:57,271
Two hours?

10
00:00:57,412 --> 00:00:59,937
I spent 15 years on this force.

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,152
(theme music playing)

2
00:00:17,438 --> 00:00:19,099
WALTER WINCHELL:
In 1932, Chicago,

3
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,606
like the rest of the country,
was hiding its nightlife

4
00:00:21,743 --> 00:00:23,210
at the bottom
of basement stairs

5
00:00:23,344 --> 00:00:24,936
and behind locked doors.

6
00:00:41,996 --> 00:00:45,830
On the night of September 30,
one such undercover oasis,

7
00:00:45,967 --> 00:00:50,370
the Deadline, was catering
to its particular clientele,

8
00:00:50,505 --> 00:00:52,530
the members of
the working press.

9
00:00:52,674 --> 00:00:55,074

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:26,514 --> 00:00:27,776
One more beer.

3
00:00:29,918 --> 00:00:31,613
That's it.
Everything you ordered.

4
00:00:31,753 --> 00:00:33,618
Well, how come your people
can make delivery dates

5
00:00:33,755 --> 00:00:34,744
when Guzik can't?

6
00:00:34,889 --> 00:00:37,119
That will be $1142.

7
00:00:37,258 --> 00:00:39,385
I'd still like to know
who I'm dealing with.

8
00:00:39,527 --> 00:00:41,085
We get you the booze,
you pay us cash,

9
00:00:41,229 --> 00:00:42,389
that's all you got to know.

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:28,917 --> 00:00:31,909
♪♪

3
00:00:42,397 --> 00:00:44,388
(car door closes)

4
00:01:13,194 --> 00:01:16,186
♪♪

5
00:01:41,155 --> 00:01:43,453
(ship's horn blows)

6
00:01:43,591 --> 00:01:45,525
WINCHELL:
In Chicago,

7
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,094
the second-largest city
in the United States,

8
00:01:48,229 --> 00:01:50,697
a week rarely went by
without the delivery

9
00:01:50,832 --> 00:01:53,392
of at least one unclaimed body

10

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,152
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,038 --> 00:00:20,030
(phone ringing)

3
00:00:20,174 --> 00:00:21,573
Hello. Ness.

4
00:00:21,709 --> 00:00:24,041
MAN: Mr. Ness,
it's your friend again.

5
00:00:24,178 --> 00:00:25,167
Lee.

6
00:00:29,517 --> 00:00:31,678
I got another tip for you.

7
00:00:31,819 --> 00:00:32,751
Go ahead.

8
00:00:32,887 --> 00:00:35,617
Ain't you gonna thank me
for Artie Graff?

9
00:00:35,757 --> 00:00:36,917
Thanks.

10
00:00:37,058 --> 00:00:38,958

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:19,197
WALTER WINCHELL: In 1930, New
York City watched the growth

3
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,740
of the world's tallest
man-made structure,

4
00:00:21,876 --> 00:00:23,400
the Empire State Building.

5
00:00:23,545 --> 00:00:25,274
1,000 miles to the west,

6
00:00:25,413 --> 00:00:27,313
another empire
was still a dream

7
00:00:27,448 --> 00:00:29,313
in the mind
of a restless young man

8
00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:32,749
working in the basement
of a deserted Chicago tenement.

9
00:00:32,887 --> 00:00:35,549
His name, Jackson Emmit Parker.

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:17,138 --> 00:00:20,539
WALTER WINCHELL: It started
in Wichita, Kansas, in 1930--

3
00:00:20,675 --> 00:00:23,473
a grotesque walk
they called the "jake dance."

4
00:00:23,611 --> 00:00:25,909
There were those
who thought it was comical,

5
00:00:26,047 --> 00:00:29,539
but then, as hundreds of
Wichita citizens were stricken,

6
00:00:29,684 --> 00:00:32,175
the humor suddenly
turned to panic.

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,311
(siren wailing)

8
00:00:41,296 --> 00:00:43,662
One percent of the adult
population of Wichita--

9
00:00:43,798 --> 00:00:46,790

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:16,404 --> 00:00:18,531
(jazz music playing)

3
00:00:22,377 --> 00:00:25,642
WALTER WINCHELL:
In the middle 1920s

4
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:28,442
Chicago reached into its
speaks and cellar clubs

5
00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:30,710
to find a new kind of music.

6
00:00:30,852 --> 00:00:32,547
They called it Jazz.

7
00:00:32,687 --> 00:00:34,882
Restless, hard driving music,

8
00:00:35,023 --> 00:00:36,854
it echoed the mood
of the times.

9
00:00:36,991 --> 00:00:40,552
And mixed a little too easily
with green beer

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:16,471 --> 00:00:20,305
WALTER WINCHELL: 7933, the once
big-bellied traffic

3
00:00:20,441 --> 00:00:23,274
of bootleg liquor had been
reduced to almost nothing.

4
00:00:23,411 --> 00:00:24,708
Eliot Ness and the Untouchables

5
00:00:24,846 --> 00:00:26,575
were hitting hard at a new

6
00:00:26,714 --> 00:00:29,547
and even more terrible racket:
dope.

7
00:00:29,684 --> 00:00:32,084
By early September,
they had found and destroyed

8
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:34,745
every major source
of contraband drug

9
00:00:34,889 --> 00:00:36,982
in the city of Chicago.

1
00:00:05,226 --> 00:00:07,217
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:16,838 --> 00:00:18,499
WALTER WINCHELL:
10:20 p.m.

3
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,302
A sedan, specially fitted
to carry liquor,

4
00:00:21,442 --> 00:00:22,466
sped 80 miles an hour

5
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:23,941
through a Chicago suburb.

6
00:00:24,078 --> 00:00:25,340
Eliot Ness and the Untouchables

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,108
did not know it at the time,

8
00:00:28,249 --> 00:00:30,012
but they were in pursuit

9
00:00:30,151 --> 00:00:32,449
of one of the largest and most
devious bootleg rings

10

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:16,938 --> 00:00:18,803
WALTER WINCHELL:
Chicago, 1931.

3
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:21,500
This junkyard, beyond
a South Side dead-end street,

4
00:00:21,643 --> 00:00:23,372
was the front organization

5
00:00:23,511 --> 00:00:26,844
for one of the largest rackets
empires of the Prohibition era.

6
00:00:26,981 --> 00:00:29,006
The man who ruled this empire

7
00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:32,677
was a man who had risen in two
short, but violent, years

8
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:36,119
from a Glen Street pool room
to and underworld throne.

9
00:00:36,257 --> 00:00:40,125
His formula for success:

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016
(theme music plays)

2
00:00:21,876 --> 00:00:23,207
Warden!

3
00:00:23,344 --> 00:00:24,811
I want the warden!

4
00:00:24,946 --> 00:00:26,504
(grunting)

00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:31,380

8
00:00:32,654 --> 00:00:34,884
and summoned to meet

9
00:00:35,023 --> 00:00:37,048

1
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:06,016

00:00:18,306 --> 00:00:20,672
WALTER WINCHELL: During the
blistering summer of 1931,

3
00:00:20,808 --> 00:00:23,709
the work of Eliot Ness and
his Untouchables was divided

4
00:00:23,845 --> 00:00:26,245
into seemingly
never-ending days

5
00:00:26,381 --> 00:00:29,373
spent on the unbearably
hot pavements of Chicago

6
00:00:29,517 --> 00:00:31,382
tracking down illicit whiskey,

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:33,817

3
00:00:19,707 --> 00:00:22,608
A diner by the Chicago
railroad yards.

4
00:00:22,744 --> 00:00:25,076
On the surface it was
like a hundred others.

5
00:00:25,213 --> 00:00:27,704
Blue plate special
was 35 cents.

6
00:00:27,849 --> 00:00:29,646
Coffee and doughnut,
a nickel.

7
00:00:29,784 --> 00:00:32,116

3
00:00:19,073 --> 00:00:20,973
"Depression" was the key word.

4
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:22,974
Money was just a memory.

5
00:00:23,111 --> 00:00:24,635
Apples were a nickel.

6
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:25,905
Add another nickel,

7
00:00:26,047 --> 00:00:28,607
and you could
dance away your hunger.

8
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:31,241

9
00:00:59,847 --> 00:01:01,337

an enemy machine gun.

-The name Elroy means king.
-(explosion)

6
00:00:34,856 --> 00:00:37,825
And he might have become one
as a baseball star.

7
00:00:37,959 --> 00:00:41,395
Elroy could pick a bird
out of a tree at 50 yards

8
00:00:41,529 --> 00:00:45,465
with a pebble, a rock,
a baseball, or a pineapple.
