Original subtitles

Bye.

Bye.

Peter. Not a bad take of her sister and myself.

What about my cut, Luciano?

Dumb micks don't get no cut. Who are you calling a dumb mick?

It's fair, Luciano.

This deserves a cut, too.

Sure, kid.

Sure.

What do you think you're doing?

I thought it was only fair to split with your little brother.

Well, well, well.

What do we have here now?

What are you doing? Get back here. Hey, hey, hey.

I said get back here.

You

want

to give me a hand here, little brother?

Nothing but wood alcohol.

Who'd O'Malley buy this stuff from anyway?

Carmine Genovese.

Who else?

How you doing, Carmine?

Vincent! Peter!

What seems to be the problem? You gotta go around here shooting up my guy!

I'll tell you what the problem is, Carmine.

That last load of gin you sold my boss?

Wasn't quite up to your normal low standards.

Relax.

Vinnie.

You know I don't do nothing wrong to my booze.

It's good stuff.

Everyone in town knows that.

Sure, comrade.

I hear this stuff can make you go blind.

If you're lucky.

I ain't dirty!

Get him.

Take him

out, Pete.

Like I said, you're fired.

Get out of here, you yellow rat.

You got a light?

Allow me, Big Brother.

Vince? Peter?

Pretty class, yeah?

Like one of those banker fellas.

Carmine Genovese's distillery burned down tonight.

You boys, you wouldn't be knowing anything about that, would you?

It's all cheap booze.

People drank that cheap booze. And they paid plenty of money for it, too.

People buy more good booze.

Oh, so you're running this gang now, are you, Vincent?

No, Mr. O'Malley.

You are.

And don't you forget it, funny boy, or you'll find yourself out on your ass,

shit out of luck.

Talk to him.

Nora.

Just get what he owes me. You got it? Got it, boss.

You understand me, then?

No rough stuff.

I'm telling you, Pete, we're going to be living real good soon.

Yeah, you keep saying that.

Not if O'Malley can help it.

He's happy to sit back and let the world just pass him by.

If you want something, you've got to grab it with both hands.

Then why don't we do that, little brother?

Not too bad.

Just another speakeasy.

What's this guy look like, anyway?

I'll know him when I see him.

Welcome to Club Flamingo, gents.

The name's Ernie Madden. This is my speak.

Well, I'll be damned if it isn't the Brothers Cole.

You boys have been making quite a name for yourselves of late.

Look it, Vince. The room's tight of us already.

Come to rub shoulders with the big boys, eh?

Can't blame you. I got the hottest broads and the smoothest whiskey in

Make yourselves at home, fellas.

You're gonna love the new singer.

Got a voice like Napoleon Brandy.

The best show in town.

I'd take my life on it.

And be careful about making promises like that if I were you.

What's your pleasure, gent?

Get a load of Mr. Big.

Lucky Luciano ain't nothing.

Just forgot where he came from, that's all.

Sure. He's only got half the town in his back pocket. That makes him rich.

Doesn't mean he's any better enough.

Somebody opened all the cages at the zoo.

Mike Moran may be little, but he's a tough son of a bitch.

He's a muscle.

Legs diamond.

Quick on the trigger. Used to be some kind of huffer. Now he dances on

heads for Big Mike.

We ought to be sitting at that table.

They like being seen in front of everybody, kissing up.

Tomorrow, it's back to breaking each other's balls.

There he is.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Club Flamingo.

Here's a gal who wants to make a night here.

How are you doing, Mr. Gotti? It's my pleasure to introduce Miss Lottie

Harrington. Make some noise for her, gents!

I tried to explain to Mr.

O'Malley I might be a little short on cash this month.

These nights are long.

When did they...

wise guy.

I don't care who you are. You don't put that kind of stunt in my club.

Understand? Hey, Club Flamingo is a place where nobody don't have to worry

nothing. Nothing personal.

You owe the boss the money. We're just trying to collect.

Yeah.

Son of a bitch owes me five grand, too.

Billy, give these fellas a drink on me.

You're all right, man.

I love a boy.

You got that right, sugar.

What's your name?

Rosie. And this is Valora.

Rosie. Peter and Vincent Cole.

The Cole brothers.

You girls with anybody special tonight?

We are now.

You're kind of cute. Would you buy me some champagne?

Why don't you girls, uh, take a hike?

Save some for me, shall we?

What's the matter

with you?

Only trash, that's all.

Trash is nice, little brother.

Trash is nasty.

My heart.

Hey, handsome.

Your, uh, brother better watch his ass because, you know, the Dutchman came in

personally last night to watch Miss Florence Nightingale sing.

Who is this Dutchman, anyway? Everybody says he's a big cheat. Is he here

tonight? No, not tonight, but you'll need him.

Hello? I'm changing in case you fail to notice.

Sorry, I, uh... I saw the show tonight. I thought she was really terrific.

Just what I need.

Another devoted fan.

I'm just trying to give you a compliment here.

Is that the same compliment you gave the woman who sang here last week, or is it

a new compliment?

I've never been in this joint before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've seen it all before. I heard it all before.

I've done it all before.

I didn't mean no disrespect.

Maybe we could go have a cup of coffee.

Or something?

I'm a gentleman.

A gentleman comes into a lady's dressing room uninvited.

I'm sorry.

I'll never do it again.

You crossed my heart.

What's your name, anyway?

Vincent.

Vincent Cole.

Listen, Vincent.

You're a nice boy.

It's just that right now I got so many friends.

I don't know what to do with them all.

You got me?

Maybe tomorrow.

Good night, Vincent.

Good night.

I said no raw stuff!

And what do you do? You put a knife to his pink and throw it in a room full of

people, and then you steal his watch!

You mean store.

Bum gave it to me.

Isn't that right, Pete?

That's right, Mr. O'Malley. God, he gave it to Vinnie. Just like he says.

You're scared when I tell you to scare.

Not before, not after. You got me?

Come on, boss.

We're carrying a lot of deadbeats here.

If word got out that we're getting soft, I think... You're not paid to think!

You're paid to do as you're told!

I ain't taking no more crap from you!

You gonna do something about it, O'Malley?

Tease me a lesson, maybe?

Fellas, we don't need to quarrel here.

We're all friends.

Right?

temper of yours is going to get you in a whole lot of trouble, Vince.

Oh, I'll try to keep a lid on him, Mr. O'Malley.

Now, listen up.

The Dutchman's got a load of Canadian whiskey coming into the Bayshore Harbor.

I want you two guys to divert it to my warehouse.

You got me?

That name again.

Who is this guy, anyway?

That's none of your business.

You just get that booze for me.

And you keep your ears and your eyes open.

You understand?

I'm paying $100.

Per person.

In advance.

Sure, Vince.

Why not?

Per person.

In advance.

The deal is $2 ,000 for the whole shipment.

Minus $5 ,000.

And of course, that's not a good deal.

Let's go.

Hey, Pete.

I'm so bad.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Get out of here.

I think I'm going to buy you one of them fancy jackets at the play college.

You know, the guy I was really go for.

Hey, what's with you anyway?

Look at all this stuff.

You should be celebrating.

I can't help thinking why O'Malley wanted us to do this job special for

Because he trusts us.

That's...

Let me do the talking.

Johnson, you and White take the back. Johnson, over here with me.

What

seems to be

the problem, Arthur?

Get out of the truck.

and what kind of cargo you're carrying.

Eatin' oil, officer.

Pick it up.

Who you working for?

I said who you working for?

Mally.

Don't shoot.

We can make a deal.

That was a sweet little double cross you planned for us so manly, wasn't it?

Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Thomas.

I'll cut the both of you in.

Make you my partners.

You mean even Steven -like?

Sure. Sure, 50 -50.

I think you mean 60 -40. 60 -40?

60 -40, sure.

Show anything your fellas want.

64.

I don't think this partnership is off to a very good start.

From now on, co -brothers don't work for no one.

Well, big shot.

Nothing can stop us now. Nothing.

We can have anything we want.

So what do you want?

Have a nice little nap?

What's the big idea kidnapping me and my brother? Shut up!

The Dutchman wants to talk to you two guys.

Now.

Who the hell is this Dutchman creep, anyway?

The cement's ready, boy.

You want us, we should prepare him for the river. Not yet, Joey.

Let's wait a minute.

Hiya, Vince.

It's been a long time.

So tell me, what's new?

You tell these guys to cut us loose.

We got no beef here. Yeah, we got no beef here.

Maybe I's got a beef with you two. What are you talking about?

I'm tired for Christ's sake. You stupid wise guys hijacked my goddamn booth.

Bring over the cement.

You're making a mistake.

That rat O'Malley paid me and Pete a hundred bucks a piece to bring him this

stuff. And then he double -crossed us by setting us up. This is being square

with you, honest.

We took good care of them guys who ambushed us.

And then we took real good care of O'Malley.

He won't be double -crossing no one no more.

It belonged to Luciano.

Remember?

He gave it to me in the arm.

So he got away, and I got mad, Arthur.

Ten years.

What does a schmuck kid know about prison?

It ain't no fault, Arthur.

Your brother's right, Arthur.

It ain't no fault Luciano stabs in the arm like that.

I was only playing with you two.

That stuff ain't in history, right?

Besides, my beef's with Luciano.

How would you boys like to work for me?

I don't know.

You guys throw in with me and I'll give you your own outfit if you make good.

What do you say, huh?

Just like the old days.

All right, Art.

Keep.

And I want you to call me Dutch in front of the boys.

All right, Dutch.

Here, give these mugs a ride home.

Follow me, boys.

Maybe next time, Bo.

These guys don't remember me, do you, sir?

I'm Kid Twist.

I grew up down the street from you, sir.

I remember you, Twist.

You're the one who's always trying to burn down the church.

Yeah, I remember.

You were all right, Twist.

The way I see it, us Irish gotta stick together.

Okay, already. Hold on.

Don't be stupid.

Go get your boss.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, Murphy!

I don't see the Dutchman.

Couldn't make it. He sent us instead.

Got a load of beer to deliver to your warehouse.

Dutch Schultz don't supply me.

He does now.

you're doing business with your Murphy.

See you around.

Tell the Dutchman you said hi.

Hiya, boys.

New girl?

Get out of here.

Dutch.

Girl.

You did good, boys.

Thanks, Bucky.

Now that I got some good legmen on the job, it's time to stretch out.

We're going to take this town and shake it by the balls.

I'm taking over the boundary.

Isn't that Big Mike Moran's territory?

People got to learn to stay out of my way.

I'm with you, Bucky.

Start with someplace small.

Let Big Mike come to life.

Give me a beer.

Yes, sir.

It's rat piss.

Big Mike Moran beer.

Yeah?

From now on, you only serve the Dutchman's beer.

You understand?

Everybody drink up!

You're all guests to Dutch jokes tonight. Come on! Free beer!

Let's make this quick. You know I don't like being here. Two minutes in and out.

Get the door, pal.

I can't get Dutch's finest, but New York's finest.

like some kind of grand dame dragging this dress behind her.

Then Valora stands right on the end of it. Well, you know, Rosie don't take

nothing off nobody.

She turns to her and says, get off my dress.

Zip, bangs, Valora goes right back on Akita. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

Hey, Vince, Vinnie, come here.

Take a look at this.

They bring 500 kegs of beer a day and sell them for 10 bucks a keg.

Dutch off the flag and I miss Schultz.

This million -dollar operation could all be ours if we could just lose this

stooge. We're gonna have our own operation.

Don't you worry about that.

So tell me, who the silk?

newspapers love me.

You know that the Herald Tribune wanted me to write an article about pushing

booze.

Nah, you?

I hope you give us a plug, Cole Brothers.

They tell me you've been giving away my beer.

It's good for business, Arthur.

I told you it's Dutch.

And how the hell do you know what's good for my business?

I know if people like you, they like your beer.

Maybe. Just check with me the next time you want to go improving my image, okay?

Sure thing, Dutch.

You boys got something coming, do you?

About time we started seeing some green.

Money in the whole box.

Sure that they're going to break you, Dutch?

I just want nobody should say Dutch Schultz ain't good to his boys.

Won't you come home, little baby?

Won't you come home?

She moans the whole day.

That's it, girls.

Terrific job.

Wonderful, Lottie.

Great. Take a break, sweetheart. Thanks, thanks.

Okay. Listen, girls.

You're doing great, but I want those kicks higher. Okay?

You understand?

Great.

Okay.

All right. Now, let's do another...

Jeez, it

startled me, Ben.

Well, what do you know?

You know, Vince, no one's never given me flowers before.

No one never gave my mama flowers either.

She used to say to me, if you find a fella who gives you flowers instead of a

busted lip, you should... Well, you know.

Sure, boy.

I don't know, Vince.

It's an old woman's dream.

Sometimes those dreams can come true.

Can they?

Well, they can.

Look at me and Pete.

Who ever guessed that two slobs like us would have a business to our own?

What are you talking about, Vince?

Whatever you got, you got from the Dutchman, just like me.

You don't have to impress me with lies.

The both of us does what we gotta do.

Time to clear out there, Big Mike.

My

legs.

Give me a break.

Sparky! Relax.

Make yourself useful.

Get me a beer, will you?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Did you get this crop from the Dutchman? Thanks.

Look at me. Look what the Cole brothers have done to me. It's okay.

I like it.

Besides, I'd be more than happy to take care of any of your trouble with the

Cole brothers or Dutch shoals.

Anyway, that was a lapper side of the hooker.

Keep the tip.

What a thorn I smell gas leaking in that gurn.

The hell does that little bastard thinks he is blowing up one of my joints, huh?

We grabbed the joint from him, remember, boss?

I don't give a rat's ass whose joint it was before me. It's mine now, right?

I got an idea.

Vince.

in there, boys.

Big Mike wants his stuff on the road by midnight.

So

what's

the problem, fellas?

You guys are under arrest for violating section 22 of the Volstead Act.

Sorry, boys, but we gotta take all this booze away from you.

This is Big Mike Moran's beer, you dumb cops.

Is there anywhere to talk to an officer of the law?

Come on, Vince. Let's grab the booze and get the hell out of here.

You guys ain't cops.

It's busted up, boys! Dutch wants this. I know what Dutch wants.

Terrific tonight, baby.

But you knew that, didn't you?

What's with the roses?

It's just a little something from one of my many secret admirers.

I got something I need to ask you.

I'm listening.

Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking and...

Now that me and Pete are making some money, I figured maybe it might be time.

That is... Dutch.

Well, I see you got the roses that I sent you.

Vince, we need to talk.

Now.

Sure, that's sure.

Now it's fine.

I didn't know

you were keeping company with Lottie.

Yeah?

Kind of.

Okay.

That's the way it is.

I like to see my boys happy like me and my wife, Frances.

Your brother, he runs with the whores.

He'll let me.

It's just like some trampy. He's okay.

What I need to talk to you about can be said in one word.

It's the one word I run my whole life by.

Look at these bums.

They'd stab their mothers in the back for a glass of beer.

We gotta protect our own women.

We gotta think and act like one person.

I want my boys to think like a fraternity of brothers.

A man's gotta be able to trust all his brothers the way you trust your own

brother.

You know what I mean, Vincent?

So I can't have some schmuck running around town on his own, not following

I want.

I can't have somebody I should be able to trust like a brother go stabbing me

the back and blowing up a hundred kegs of beer I could have sold!

Just trying to do something good, Dutch.

Calm down. Calm down?

What do you mean, calm down? I'll... Calm down when you start listening to me

with that thick head of yours.

Get it?

Yes, I got it.

Go back to the neighborhood.

You're my pal.

We don't need to argue.

Here.

Go buy Lottie something nice on me.

Here, kid.

Go buy yourself something warm.

The gift from Dutch Shulk.

Hey, go ahead. Go ahead. Take it all.

You first.

Come on, Joey. We'll squeeze in. Ah, you go on ahead. We're going to walk.

Take that right, baby.

What do you want me to do? She's crazy about me.

Hey, we'll catch up to you later.

It's gonna be cold.

Not where we're going.

Take a look at those stars. They're shining just for you, baby.

I always wanted one of them toy trains when I was growing up as a kid.

I still do.

Hey, Joey.

See you around.

By the way, my regards to the Dutchman.

Joey was a good friend.

I want him to have a big send -off.

Only the best for my boys.

Make sure his family wants for nothing.

Look at all this stuff.

Joey's making more money dead than alive.

It ain't fair.

I got holes in the bottom of my shoes and a dead man's getting a big payoff.

It ain't fair.

Is that fair?

Come on, Pete.

Keep it down.

You keep it down.

Pete! Sober up!

You're making a scene.

Pete!

Can't walk out on Joey's wake, Pete!

Pete!

You take care of him.

He's your responsibility.

Make sure he don't get in no trouble.

He was okay, wasn't he?

The best.

Always liked him.

Only two goddamn years old.

Hey!

It looks just the same.

We had a lot of good years here, huh, Vince?

Me breaking into your piggy bank and you beating me up.

We were a team then.

Just the two of them.

Who the team?

Who are you kidding?

It's just you and the Dutchman now.

That's crazy, Pete.

It's always you and me.

That's the way it's gonna stay.

Why'd you gotta go with disrespect, Arthur, like that, back there, by all

people, Joey's family? Disrespect? What's the matter with you? What's the

with me?

The Dutch play this respect, and you have no problem with that?

We push this stinking beer on every poor slob in town.

And the only thing we come out with is...

A couple of fancy suits and a handbag.

Oh, wait.

We get a first -class funeral after some creep drills us full of holes. Well,

that's not why I got into this racket.

Gotta be patient, Pete.

Whatever happened to him?

The Cole brothers don't work for no one.

You remember someone said that, huh?

Yeah, I said that.

And Arthur said he's gonna cut it. Arthur said, Arthur said, win, Vince.

After we're six feet under.

Look out!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Nobody shoots at the Coal Brothers and wins. Nobody!

You hear me, Pete?

He told me you were shot. I thought I'd lost you.

I'm all right.

Takes more than a two -bit goon like Legs Diamond to take out Vincent Peter

Cole. Does it?

Pete, you know it's only a matter of time, Vince.

Come on.

Get her in line.

Shit, I didn't get used to it.

He's gonna come after us again, Vince. And if we don't make the first move,

we're sitting ducks.

We're gonna make a move.

We gotta wait until things cool down, that's all.

You heard what Dutch said about Judge Crady.

Moran owns him.

With all this heat on us, all we gotta do is blow our nose and every cop in

town's gonna be down our throat. With Moran and Legs dead, it won't make no

difference if they own City Hall.

All right.

All right, we'll ask Dutch.

We don't need Dutch's blessing.

Not after today. Not after Joey.

He's not gonna like it if we don't clear it with him first.

You ought to listen to your brother, Pete.

You stay out of this. This has nothing to do with you. This is family.

Pete. I'm afraid that's all.

Afraid of both legs, diamond, and Dutch.

As soon as we turn our backs, Blake will be there.

There's only one answer, and you know what it is.

Where are you going? What the hell do you care?

Pete!

We gotta be smart about this thing!

Pete!

He didn't mean nothing by what he said.

I know.

It's just... I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to you.

You mean that?

Yeah.

I never felt this way about anybody before.

Kind of scary, isn't it?

Honey, I gotta talk to you about something.

Sure, man. You gotta do it down there?

Yeah, I think so.

You want me to come down there with you?

You're supposed to stay up there.

I know I ain't got much right now,

but I'm gonna someday.

I'm gonna be somebody.

I promise you that.

I love you.

I want you to be my wife.

Will you marry me?

Coffee? Sure, why not?

Eggs?

What the hell?

Ham?

We got ham?

I went down to the corner.

Toast?

What's with you anyway?

Just thought we could use a decent meal, you know?

Rosie can't even boil water.

She's spending a lot of nights over there.

She does this thing with her tongue.

Like out of a circus or something.

Like her Sure, I like it That's nice. She couldn't get enough.

She'll see Mary Lou on the weekend Lila don't forget Lila maybe

Every now and then you don't want to let him forget you around enough by me

again married better

Goddamn time you got some action.

Money is not action.

You can be my wife.

Oh, jeez, Vince.

You don't gotta marry him.

You sleep with him, keep him around till you don't need him no more, then send

him back where they came from. What's the matter with you?

I love him.

I'm gonna marry him.

Oh, boy.

We gotta talk.

Hiya, Lottie.

Morning, Pete.

Mmm,

ham and eggs.

Dabba dabba dabba, give me those magic numbers I love to hear.

Our revenue's $1 .25.

What the hell's this down business?

Quiet, I'm in. Dutch, we got the demand, but no supply.

Dabba dabba's right, boss.

Feds have busted us five times. That judge is hitting us from all sides.

Out! Everybody out!

Now!

Vince,

not you.

Come back here.

Judge Crater's had it.

His time is up.

I want you to rub him out for me.

Are you serious?

Tell him why, guys. There's one thing. Stipping up feds is another.

Crater belongs to Mike Moran.

Do this for me and I'll give you anything you want.

Just get in the car, Judge.

I don't want to have to shoot you.

The bastards, they got our Judge.

I got two requests.

First, with your permission, I'd like to hit the Dutchman. And second, you've

got to let me hit those two dumb mixed boss.

It's the likes of those trash -talking folks that give a gentleman like me a

name.

Besides, I got just the plan in mind.

Mr. Charles Luciano.

Buena fortuna.

Thanks for the wedding invite.

Such a shame about poor little Joey, eh, Dutchie?

That bastard Diamond's a dead man.

into our house our house

okay let's go

you got everything ready to replace

i'm

gonna nail big mike and then i'm gonna get legs i'm gonna get a boat no matter

where they are I'm going to find him. I'm going to blow their heads off.

is mine. It's personal. Don't fight me on this one, Arthur. I got a big score

settle with him. That son of a bitch tried to kill me, too.

You want him?

I want him. Let's make it interesting.

You're gambling, man, Vince?

Heads, I get legs. You take care of Big Mike Moran.

You in?

Regards to Big Mike.

Come on.

Got the quarter I got for you on Atlantic City, boss?

Two heads are better than one.

Vince wants you to stay here.

All the comforts of home.

It's only until things cool down a little.

And keep the drapes closed.

Us guys will be back later.

Go on, big Mike.

Little son of a bitch.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to this very important

meeting between the families.

I know we're all saddened by the sudden passing of Big Mike Moran.

He was a good friend, an ally.

He had his problems with the Dutchman, but I'm sure we can now put that all

behind us.

Fighting between family and friends is no good for business.

We are, after all, businessmen.

And businessmen must conduct themselves.

in an orderly and civilized manner.

Am I right?

Yeah.

So what can we do to infer the protection of our businesses from one

You can get the hell off my back, Luciano.

Please.

It's been understood for some time that I control all the liquor and number

rackets in the state.

You got Boston, you got Philadelphia.

What do you want with Manhattan?

What about Moran's territory?

To the victor, go to spoilers.

Let us drink to a new day, my friends.

A day when we all shall work together in peace and harmony.

Damn it, Vince, you made me lose count.

Can you believe some putz paid me in coinage?

Arthur.

What?

Me and Pete have been thinking.

With Big Mike Moran and Judge Crater out of the way, it's time for us to break

off.

What's the matter? You a little short?

We don't need a handout, Dutch.

We want to go out on our own.

You two?

Don't make me laugh. With your blessing.

You caught me at a bad time.

We'll talk about it later.

No.

We're going to talk about it now.

You want to talk about it now, Vin?

Okay.

The answer is no.

Now get the hell out of my office. You gave us your word. I never did.

Besides, I need the both of you by my side right now.

What a load of crap.

You better watch yourself, Peter. Pete's right.

You ran this operation just fine for years before we came on the scene.

We're sick of taking orders.

Don't push me.

I took out Judge Crater that I could have anything I want.

I want this.

I'm grateful, sons of bitches.

I treat the both of you like my own brothers. I give you positions of

And this is the thanks I get. Where the hell do you think you'd be today if it

wasn't for me? The only reason you have Harlem in the Bronx is because me and

Pete took out Big Mike ourselves.

Legs. Skip's tail. You can't even fight.

Do you want us to head him for you, too?

Boys don't make enough.

Is that it?

All right.

As of today, I'm raising your salary to $350 a week.

You happy now?

You pay us plenty, Dutch. Don't ever forget it.

My boys, Bo.

They're a part of me.

Like my flesh and my blood.

But they will turn against me.

I've seen it coming for a long time.

I want you to take care of Peter personally.

Lucky wants peace, Dutch.

With the Cole brothers alive, there'll never be peace.

I'll handle Lucky.

And then I'll handle Vincent Cole.

Are you guys kidding?

Move on a Dutchman?

Come on.

You'll get the hip like the rest of us.

That's right, kid.

We rub out Dutch, we get our hands on a million -dollar -a -year operation,

minimum.

Us Irish gotta stick together.

Remember?

Count me in.

We need someone on the inside.

Weinberg. Too loyal.

What about Borelli?

Could be.

It's nothing like the rest of us.

All right, set up a meeting with Borelli, but don't tell him why.

How about tonight, outside Dutch's party?

Is that innocent enough?

Good idea.

I'll do it.

All right.

To the brothers, Cole.

Going solo at land.

I think I may just love you. I think I may just love you.

Come on. Come on. Where the hell is he? He said he'd be here just before

midnight.

Oh, don't you really want to?

It could... You don't want to.

Tim. Don't!

I like the gin.

I'm paying you to play, ain't I?

So play!

Nobody came.

Nobody.

But you kept them all away.

That chauffeur's a dead man.

No, Vince, please.

You think you can stop me, Lonnie?

I don't care what happened between the two of you before.

You killed my brother.

We'll be at the Club Flamingo tonight.

Lonnie Madden ain't gonna go for that. That's neutral territory.

Yeah.

Listen, Vince, sorry about Pete, but you've got to be out of your mind coming

here. Borelli's in there with all his goons.

I came to see the Dutchman. Well, he ain't here tonight.

It's no big deal.

I said he ain't here.

Relax on me.

Just came to see the show.

Must have tipped him off.

I'm going to make him come down.

We're going to hit him in the head.

We're going to take his whole damn operation.

See you tomorrow.

to settle down.

Take it easy.

Relax.

Relax, he says.

How the hell can I relax?

My business is falling apart.

My own men tell me it ain't safe to leave my own house.

You want to relax so much, you do it yourself.

I'm getting the hell out of here.

Go for a walk.

Something.

Dutch!

Dutch!

See, Bo, I told you there was nothing to worry about.

It's a beautiful night, huh? Dutch!

It's okay, boys.

Good evening, Detective Wheeler.

What can I do for you?

Heard you got a problem with Vince Cole.

Maybe I can help you.

Let's talk.

Open up.

This place really hurts so bad.

Dink's in here.

Let's open a window.

I'm going out.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

I'm going out. You're not going to stop me, huh, wide guy?

If that's what you really want to do, do it.

I'm not going to stop you.

Look how we're living.

It's breaking us apart.

And what about Pete?

Don't he count for nothing? Putting Dutch in his grave ain't gonna bring

your brother. Don't you see, Vince?

No one wins.

No one.

I'm gonna win, Lottie.

That's the only way I know how to do things.

You wouldn't want it that way.

You're gonna end up dead in the gutter just like your stupid brother!

Get away from me, Vincent.

What do we want that was so bad?

Arthur was our friend.

I'm sorry, big brother.

We had it all planned out different.

Everybody remember this. He's actually speechless.

Oh, look it, look it. This is a birthday party. You can honeymoon anytime.

But right now you should blow out your candles and make a wish because it's

birthday.

The 23 great years.

I don't know how to thank you guys.

Excuse me and the missus for just a minute here.

We've got to talk.

We'll go ahead and start opening the presents. They're going to be a while.

Promise you'll never leave me.

You know, we've got a room full of people out there.

I always liked private partying a lot better.

Happy 23rd. Love, Arthur.

Who the hell's Arthur?

Who cares? Open it.

You alright?

So tell me there's been a problem

Problem?

The package was delivered, but the guest wasn't there.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Now, Dutch, don't get mad.

Vince wasn't touched.

Goddamn son of a bitch!

All right.

Listen to me.

You tell him Saturday morning, 11 o 'clock, I leave the synagogue as usual.

Tell them to hit me there.

We'll take care of it.

Hey, kid.

Hi.

What a beautiful ball.

Mind if I play too? Arthur!

Thanks for the birthday present.

Dinner ball.

Arthur!

Oh, let's get out of here.

Come on, bitch, let's go.

Come on, there ain't nothing you can do.

Run, goddammit.

Extra, extra, re...

has gotten way out of control. Don't you think I know that for Christ's sake?

All the families are suffering because of your difficulties with Mad Dog Cole.

Don't tell me you're taking sides with the Mick. Dutch, listen to me close.

Alphonse Capone has pledged his word to give us some of his best men to help you

out. What are you talking about, Lucky? I don't need that schmuck's men.

It ain't up to you anymore, Dutch.

The organization has decided this is the best course of action.

The Dutchman's gonna be at the Shamrock Club at 1 o 'clock. Now, I know it's 1,

because that's when the day man counts up the receipts from the night before.

Now, the Dutch just started supplying this place, so you know how he is. He's

gonna watch that guy like a hawk.

Good kid.

He did all right.

What's the matter with you?

Hopping around like a canary.

Nothing.

I just want it to be over, is all.

Don't go.

Please.

For me.

You stay right here with her, you hear?

As long as Arthur's alive, we're not safe anywhere.

Then stay with me.

The kid's here.

They'll take care of you.

You know I gotta do this, Lottie.

Doesn't matter where we go.

I was gonna find her.

So you find him and kill him first, right?

Who's that?

Carlo.

What? You guys ain't supposed to be here. I sent him to where Dutch wanted.

Where is the woman?

Leave her out of this, all right? You hear me?

This?

Is that you?

No, no. She's not part of the deal.

the house. She's just a dame, right?

I tell you, you guys could be missing out on a really sweet deal here.

Vince Cole tells me she's just about the hottest thing around.

So what do you say?

Do you like taking a little break?

All right.

Let me help you get started.

He saved my life.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't the mad dog himself.

Welcome to Club Flamingo.

The former Club Flamingo.

I'll offer you a table.

Isn't that a little stunning of yours? People have started to seek their

entertainment elsewhere.

I've got to talk to you.

I don't know about that.

I'm a busy man, as you can see.

You have to help me.

Why is that?

I'm the last person you want to help right now.

But I'm out of friends.

Me and Lottie can't live like this no more.

I want to make peace with the Dutchman.

I can't do a thing about that.

You could talk to him.

And I'll be trying to.

And why should I?

I'll make it up to you.

As soon as I get the air cleared, I'll find some dough somewhere. I'll fix your

place up the way it was.

Got my word on that.

Call me at noon tomorrow.

Yeah, operator, get me Mutual 3771.

Yeah.

Hey, Oney. My Harley?

No, no. You're right on time, Vincent.

What did Arthur say?

Well, he said he felt the same way you do.

Really? Sure.

He wants to make peace.

He agreed to the meet.

I'll never forget this.

They tell them to just name a place anywhere.

for setting up the meeting.

This is for leading us to him.

Gentlemen.

February 9th, 1932.

A lifetime of crime and violence finally caught up with Vincent Cole.

Like most gangsters of his era, Vince was cut down in the prime of his life.

Joey Noe was only 28 when Legs Diamond mowed him down on the streets.

Jack Legs Diamond was killed by Dutch's hitmen as he slept in his bed at the age

of 35.

Kid Twist was shot to death at 26.

Dutch Schultz was fatally wounded as he ate dinner in a tavern in New Jersey.

He died two days later at the age of 33.

Peter Cole was 24 when he was killed by Bo Weinberg.

And Vincent Mad Dog Cole had barely turned 23 when he made his last
