Original subtitles

Night.

Coz probably got himself locked up in our

hotel room with a fifty caliber machine gun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is tough luck.

So pajamas.

I never wore self pajamas in my life.

Didn't I tell you how much help I'd be to you, Dutch?

Yeah.

Speaking of help, maybe it's time you met a phone call.

What have you say?

Yeah.

Whatever I say.

Okay.

You still remember Luchia's phone number?

I'm not sure.

Oh, Dutch is drinking and crazy again.

He's slapped me around.

Bo got him out of here, but I'm afraid he's gonna come back and kill me.

Hold on a minute.

Michael.

Have you slept for me when I get in here?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Go ahead, Chris.

Yeah.

When he's drinking, he starts saying things like I'm spying for you.

He thinks it's like when I was living with Paul, but working for you.

Can you get out of there?

I don't know.

I couldn't go to friends, Charlie.

Dutch would kill anyone who hides me.

I had to call you.

I'm glad you did.

Thank you.

Where should we meet?

Make it by the fountain in Washington Square.

That's Vida's territory.

Right.

Washington Square by the fountain.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah, I better go.

Thank you.

Hey, listen.

When you're in Washington Square, you stay seated on the fountain.

Right.

You stay out of the line of fire.

Don't you get up.

She's scared Dutch is gonna kill her.

Yeah, I gathered that.

You going?

I owe her, Michael.

You owe it to her to go to the village without any cover?

It sounds like a setup, Charlie.

Maybe it isn't.

Maybe it's on the level.

And while I'm making up, my mind shows could kill her.

Maybe you're letting your personal feelings make the decisions for you.

Maybe Chris and Schulz know that.

I'll have cover.

Call Vida after I leave.

If Schulz says soldiers there, they'll be a little war.

We can't afford that, Charlie.

We're paying a lot of cops.

Let them check out the situation.

Chris is on the level to let us know.

They'll even protect her.

How about it, Charlie?

Let me call the cops.

You're

supposed to call what it's over.

It didn't happen.

I didn't get to a phone.

What do you mean?

I was sitting at the fountain like we said.

And instead of Charlie, Johnny Broderick's squad of detectives came in.

You brought her, Kurt.

You would have brought her too.

It was like someone said not to see me.

Put you on home.

Then Broderick's cops beat your boy's bloody dutch.

Beat the bloody in front of me and then arrested.

Then Johnny Broderick himself tipped his hat to me, put me in his car, drove me here.

He said Charlie Luciano said the book is balanced.

Broderick's a cop.

Of course Charlie's going to tell him that.

But Charlie'll fix himself and alibi and he'll work on himself.

No, no, you don't understand dutch.

He owe me one.

He let me walk away because he owed me one.

Then he's a guy who knows you set him up and all

he's going to do is let you get away with it.

Oh, Lucia.

Maybe hitting Charlie head only wrong.

Maybe we take care of him from his side, hit his friends.

Lasker.

Lasker, Lasker, just a bookkeeper.

Siegel.

Bugsy.

The bug.

And he's got my kind of guts.

And he's a wonder hit and I got his brother in law right in my pocket.

The woman's got a killing coming.

But what do you do?

You have Johnny Broderick put her in a car and drive her home.

What is that?

Benny, what Chris did was pay back.

The books were closed.

Schultz is the enemy.

And what?

And the guys who were going to shoot you, they're up on assault charges.

Sullivan law charges.

Vaguarously resisting arrest.

Charlie's going to call Schultz $25,000 to put him on the street again.

That's what you're going to do to your enemy?

Until call hits dutch for us, yes.

Charlie, I happen to have noticed that Vinny's too

busy hiding from Schultz to have killed him, all right?

I don't want to hear that you want to crack a dutch.

All right.

I have an accordion player come up.

You tell him what you do want to hear.

You sure?

I'm sure.

Call phones is lawyer same time every day.

Now we got this from the lawyer's secretary.

Same phone.

You get that from the telephone company.

We paid a phone guy that traced the calls.

Oh, Vinny.

Vinny, call.

No, he should know better to use the same phone.

I sure am.

Charlie paid him a large advance.

This is Vinny.

Put him on, will you?

Yeah.

He

had earned in his short lifetime.

Now only two rebel gangsters remained, Dutch Schultz and Waxie Gordon.

They continued to defy the confederation of criminal combines that Charlie Luciano,

Michael Lasker and Benny Siegel had welded together.

The customers lost a little extra.

They don't make up for what we advanced to call them.

You know, I could've hit Dutch myself if we wouldn't be out of dying.

Calls no good, dead or alive.

Yeah, some good.

Schultz is getting on the blame.

Well, the credit, one way or the other, it doesn't affect us politically.

Poetically.

We want to know what I think, Poetically.

We got a lot of people, depending on us for a living.

We got enough politicians to choke a horse.

We got an arm and we got a territory.

We are a regular little country.

We're our borders.

If we don't have borders, we can't be forced into wars.

It's no good, Mike.

Where's the line?

Schultz just got away with his and calls.

Next he's going to move in on us, see?

Where's the line?

You want it on a map?

No, Charlie.

I just want to know where the line is.

It's on the map.

We draw the line with our businesses.

Schultz stays out of the garment industry and the bakeries.

He stays out of our unions.

He doesn't run numbers south of 110th Street.

If he does, Benny, you use the army.

If he doesn't, he goes into our business.

We'll buy you a navy.

Yeah.

We'll buy you a battleship.

Your birthday's coming up.

We'll get you a ship.

A frigate.

It's like Douglas Fairbanks has in the movies.

He's got a frigate.

No problem.

I still wish it had worked with Call.

But I guess by the percentages we had to lose one, huh?

We'll sunflowers.

Oh, Dutch Schultz seems to be demanding our attention by killing Vincent Call.

That's rather too bad.

Why, too bad.

Schultz is as bad as they come.

Yes, but while he's demanding the attention of this office, Mr.

Luciano gets a chance to burrow deeper unchecked.

Now, who's the greater menace?

In the long run, Luciano.

Well, let's not allow that.

We'll need more staff to go after Luciano and Schultz.

Exactly.

Tony, I want you to find me some graduates of City College.

Young men from the Lower East Side, from Little Italy.

Real men.

From the same streets as this vermin.

There's quite a few, Mr. Dewey.

99%.

I realize that.

We'll let Mr. Lucky Luciano think that the star-shirt boy, prosecutor from a war

also, Michigan, is going to go exclusively after Dutch Schultz.

But I'm going to hit Mr. Luciano, too.

Where his political friends will be afraid to help him.

That's an narcotics and prostitution.

And those are not Luciano's businesses.

Tony, I think that you've brought the Broadway columnists

and the nightclub editors' version of these thugs.

That they'll sell numbers, but not women, that they'll sell illegal booze,

but not narcotics.

I don't believe that.

I think that people like Luciano won't do anything they

can to make an illegal bucket, and I'm going to prove it.

All right.

Thank you.

We'll keep in touch.

Where's Charlie?

Downstairs.

Would you mind getting him for me, Ben?

There's no problem.

Something big happening?

Very big, especially for Charles.

What's Mr. Charlie?

That was Washington.

The judge in Capone's tax trial in Chicago, just throughout the first set of

jurors, brought in a new, absolutely pure panel.

Capone bought the first jury.

The judge seems to think so.

He's mad as hell.

Capone's law is a very upset.

I was looking at at least 10 years in the federal pen in Atlanta.

That's great.

It's just what we want.

You don't look too thrilled by it all.

I suppose it's a victory, Michael.

A victory for doing things your way.

I thought it was our way.

You weren't there that night.

You didn't see what Capone had done to Chris.

So what?

10 years in the federal pen isn't vengeance enough for you.

What do you miss, Charlie?

Bread the wine and the blood?

What do you miss?

Who knows?

Nice trip.

You didn't.

No, no, I didn't hurt anybody.

They made me a deputy sheriff of some county upstate.

Now I can carry a concealed weapon all legally.

Hello.

Do you hear about Capone?

Have you got convicted now?

What's going to happen to him?

Well, he locked him up, honey.

Why is what the government usually does when they can pick somebody?

What's the prison going to be like for him?

Is he going to be like a fish in a glass bowl where everybody can look at him?

He has no place to hide that what prisons like?

Is that what you want?

For him to feel something like you used to feel?

I don't know if that's what I want.

Yeah, maybe I would feel good if everybody could look

at Scarface Al Capone if he had no place to hide.

Uh, I'd like a small one too.

Well, you're poor and you say how much.

It will be half what I have.

Chris.

You spend all his time thinking about how bad it'll be for Capone in prison.

Thinking about what it'll be like to see Charlie get his, right?

Sure, you know that.

The thing is, once you get even, you're back to zero.

When I'm even with somebody, I'm not losing anymore.

What's Dutch Schultz to you after you're not losing anymore?

Oh, whatever happens out there, you're going to be with me.

If that's okay with you.

Yeah.

But you just don't get even.

You win.

You got the Dutch money.

How many notes did I miss?

Very few.

Why do you practice sad pieces?

Sad music is the most beautiful music, isn't it?

Why?

Because sometimes things are very painful.

And if I play something sad, then the pain has a beginning, it has a middle.

And most of all, it has an end.

I understand.

You mean that?

You don't have people lying to tell you.

Sometimes if that's what they want.

They don't like to.

Frankly, I didn't expect a wealthy young woman who lives in Scarsdale and very new

money to like sad music because it's beautiful.

I think I should begin my exercises.

I've heard piano exercises.

You don't want to know me, Paul.

It sounds as if you want me to.

You won't like me.

Shall we bet on it?

Champagne, everybody!

Ben Siegel was 26 years old in 1932, and it lived almost two-thirds of his life.

Hi, Ben.

Hello.

Look, I promised to go out next to you, but right now, I want to open my presents.

Careful, Ben.

Big one.

Oh, good.

Come on, Ben.

That's great.

That's great.

I don't know.

You want to send them like that?

You look like a kid.

Does this thing float?

If you put that in the bathtub, don't you do it.

You're not going to put it in the bathtub.

You know, we should have a guy in one of these when I was a kid.

There you go.

You know, you got to get rich in one of these, a great, Mike.

Yeah, and one for his brother, too.

Or his sister.

Are you?

You got a baby?

Really?

Oh, mother, top.

Congratulations, Mike.

Thank you.

To your children.

To your children.

To your children.

Yeah, maybe if we wage you the sooner.

Or even if we'd met much later.

Joy.

Earlier late, my kid would still have to walk around with the name Luciano.

Okay, great.

On the night of March 1st, 1932, the infant son of Charles Lindbergh was

kidnapped from the popular hero's New Jersey home.

Longie, I want you to help find in this creep.

Then deliver the booze late.

I don't care about that.

Now, all I know is what I read in the papers and hear on the radio.

I don't know what kind of person could do this either.

Not even Schultz.

Charlie, after a report is down there asking if

somebody in hiring the business snatched the kid.

Then we'll hold a press conference.

You have a press conference.

I need the phone now.

Benny, I want you to be sure that Michael's house is

guarded if you're sitting on the boys up to scarred still.

All right, Charlie.

Yeah, Graney, this is Benny.

Look, you get involved when you go to my house.

Anything gets near my kid, you kill it.

Do you understand me?

Just do it.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, I hate to stop the fun,

but I'd like your attention for just a moment, please.

As many of you know, several hours ago, the child of a great American was kidnapped.

So tonight, the partridge club's percentage is going towards a reward for

information leading to the safe return of the Lindbergh child to his family.

And any of you who wants to add from his own pocket,

the club will match whatever you come up with.

You're such a gentleman.

You must never get what you want.

I do.

But being gentle.

No.

No.

I can't let us know.

Why?

Because we'll both be happy.

Because we can't be.

Please.

I'm gonna go check in on Elizabeth.

Please

stop it, Graney.

Graney, stop it.

Please stop it.

It's garbage to anything to you and the kid.

No, of course not.

He's my friend.

This is the secret.

The baby, all right.

The baby is all right.

I'm all right, please.

This is my piano teacher.

He is my piano teacher.

Boys in here in music style.

His car is full of this music stuff.

He wasn't lying about that.

My car was locked.

Yeah, so it's your fault.

You gotta buy new doors.

How's that?

It's dislocated, I think.

You know you, sir, on here.

You don't come around anymore.

You get out of here before I dislocate something else.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for signs of them.

Oh, you're an animal.

That's right, honey.

Yes, that's right.

Snipping around like an animal.

You send your animals to spy on me.

Spy on you?

What, are you got a guilty conscience, Del?

I sent the boys up here to protect my wife and daughter.

Who the hell's the animal, Del?

Nothing happened.

He was going home.

Nothing happened.

I was in the living room downstairs.

I saw the coffee cups.

They were cold.

You finished the coffee a long time ago, and then you went on to the brandy.

I know what you're going to do next.

You were coming up here to my bed.

No.

I wanted to, but I wouldn't let it happen for his sake.

For his sake?

I'll hate to tell a story to a jury like that.

You were going to have him in my bed still.

I wasn't in his bed, maybe.

In a hotel, maybe someday.

I'm gone anywhere up in here, so I can pretend I'm anyone but me.

You should want to be anyone but me.

I don't!

I don't!

I don't!

I don't!

Hold one box.

He seagulls wife.

My God, you just make me hate myself.

You protect me from that.

You'll protect your own baby from that one.

And I talk to you.

That's Andy from Badesill, Mr. Lasker.

He works for Waxie Gordon.

The gun wants to talk to you.

He says it's about what's going on in Jersey.

It's private.

He's clean, and the street's okay.

Maybe you're a wispess, Mr. Lasker.

So wispy.

Mr. Gordon wants you to meet him upon the address.

He says it's a neutral crowd.

He says you won't want to come until I tell you.

If you don't come and talk to him, you'll hurt your family.

Michael Lasker, with his allies, was a powerful and formidable force.

But one of the rebel gangsters, Waxie Gordon, had found a weak spot.

A threat to Michael's family.

Holly brought you all the way out here from San Francisco.

She told me that, hon.

But were you born there?

No.

In Shanghai.

My father was what they called White Russian.

I guess that's why your English is better than mine.

Well, here's to it, hon.

Michael Lasker's here to see you, Waxie.

I think he's a little uncomfortable just being in the place, hon.

Very nice to meet you, Mr. Gordon.

Make it Waxie.

Same here.

Hello, Mike.

Long time no see.

You look good.

Come on in.

See that little oriental girl with Polly?

When we get finished talking, maybe you are.

What concerns my family?

Don't get snotty little, Michael.

I made my bones when you, Ben and Charlie, were still trying to stay in great school.

Yeah.

You've been around a while, Waxie.

I'll give you that.

You want to pour one of those for me?

Oh, sure.

After all, you're going to enjoy something around here.

So what about my family?

Your wife's got a father.

She's pretty fond of, huh?

Keep going.

A while ago, his business got into a little trouble.

I found out he couldn't get alone at the bank.

He could get one from Waxie Gordon.

How much does he owe you, Waxie?

He's not just alone now.

Yeah, he fell behind in payments.

I tried to help him out.

Get him into a couple of other things over in Jersey.

You mean you set him up in your own territory, right?

I mean, his luck was all bad.

Like most people who get in over their heads.

He thought maybe he can get even with a big gambling win.

What's the total package, Waxie?

If you take the original loan, interest gambling

markers, you're looking at maybe $100,000.

I can handle that.

But you see, there's some other things he kind of did in these other businesses.

And desperation to get a contract.

He attempted to bribe a state purchasing officer.

Your father, Mark, could go to jail.

What the hell do you want?

I want the Partridge Club.

You've seen the prison in Jersey, Mike.

You think your wife would enjoy visiting her father there?

I have two partners.

The club's not mine to give away.

Talk to them.

Get back to me.

Can't talk yet to change in your mind about the girl from Shanghai.

Mike, treat Mike!

No, Ruth ever hears a word of this.

What was another kid coming and Richie?

Michael, have you talked to your father-in-law to see if what Waxie said is true?

Yeah, I called him before I asked you to come up.

It's going through hell, Joel.

Well, we gotta help him.

You tell Waxie that he can have this club for a token price.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Don't worry, Mike.

We don't work some time.

Thank you.

Look, this sale, uh, transfer, whatever it is.

How long does it take?

How long are lawyers and Waxie's lawyers say

they can draw the papers in, like, three days?

From what?

I don't think we should say anything to the people that work for us.

Not until the deal's gone through and Waxie's kept his end of it.

Good idea, Benny.

Why don't you go home and tell your father-in-law that

everything's going to be okay and we'll work it out?

Thanks.

Is he gone or is he gone?

A

small mountain lodge converted to an illegal liquor distillery in New Jersey.

Please,

please, please, please, please, come here, break.

You've already got Auntie and Louis Bolt.

They're dead and on the way to hell.

Jake, you tell Waxie that Ben Siegel says this is just the beginning, you got that?

Ganglion warfare exploded across New Jersey in the last 48 hours.

As three distilleries, reportedly owned by Waxie

Gordon, were attacked by an unidentified gunman.

Finney's gone crazy.

I got the first set of papers from the lawyers right in my hands.

The next thing I expect is a call from Ruth telling me her father's been arrested.

Yeah.

Let me talk to Michael.

This is Charlie Waxie.

Let me talk to Michael.

You talk to me.

Look.

This is crazy.

Rampage by Ben Siegel has got to stop.

You want me to tell that to Ben?

Listen, tell Michael.

He picks up his father-in-law's bills.

I call it square.

Forget going to the law.

It's a matter, Waxie.

You don't want the partridge club anymore?

Now, forget it.

Just pull Ben back.

It's not going to be that easy for you, Waxie.

I lost two out of the three Fabrizio brothers already, Charlie.

What the hell else you want?

Newark.

You can stay in Jersey City, but you pull out of Newark.

Newark now belongs to our friend's as long as he's a woman and the Moretti brothers.

I'm on my dead body.

It can go that way too.

I'm going to tell you something.

You came up Michael through his family.

We have never done that to anybody.

Not in all of the years, not in all of the wars.

Nobody does that and gets away with that.

Do you understand me?

Now Newark is the price.

You're getting off cheap.

Bury cheap.

All right.

All right.

Providing.

Providing that's the end of it.

You don't deserve this, Waxie.

But you have my word.

How much is your father-in-law Gordon?

$100,000.

Gordon will have it by the end of the day.

Your father-in-law going to be all right?

Yeah.

Waxie just called.

He said, you leave him in business.

He'll leave my father-in-law alone.

It could have backfired, Ben.

You could have died.

Waxie could have handed my father-in-law over the prosecutors.

No, backfired would have been if we'd have handed the pardon.

That tells you it's grab my daughter, grab my wife, go with me, weren't I?

I appreciate what you're saying, Ben.

But not what I did.

I come through for a friend whose father's going through hell and is about ready to

be locked up and you don't appreciate that?

Come on, I appreciate it.

You know that.

Michael, sometimes one thing works and sometimes something else works.

What Benny did worked.

This time.

We're back in the casino business.

He takes about 20 minutes or something.

Michael.

Now, how do I explain to myself?

For 53 years of my life, I considered myself an honest man.

You're still an honest man.

They took advantage of you in order to get to me.

That's all.

I should have been smarter.

They've gotten the smarter men than both of us, Mr. Soul.

I'm just very sorry that the world I live in had to rub off on you.

Michael.

I think we got good news.

He says that everything does look fine.

My God.

Let's go to lunch.

You have tears in your eyes.

Is this the wind?

I wouldn't let us be late for Jimmy Durrani's show.

Telephone was too soon.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, Frank.

All right.

Tell him to meet me at JB's in half an hour.

All right.

You

have to take care of something I'll be back in time to make me in my show.

Okay?

Okay.

You'll be all right?

Yeah, well.

Permit me to introduce myself.

My name is Robert Whitney.

Hello, Robert Whitney.

I'm Joy.

Joy Oster.

Joy.

I would have thought it was patience.

This isn't the first night you've been left here alone to wait.

Now, do you really want to buy Lucky Lishiana's girl a drink?

Are you asking if I am afraid of the consequences?

I guess so.

Well, I've done quite well as a stockbroker despite the times by taking risks.

I like risks.

But even if I didn't, a woman as lovely as Joy Oster would be worth many risks.

Thank you.

Now, your glass is quite empty as is mine.

Shall we have another round and toast to... what?

Why?

To taking risks?

Of course.

Welcome back.

It's good to see you, Charlie.

How's Italy?

Wow.

In Rome, Charlie had...

worked like he has a dysampiaetron.

And the look up, it's the Sistine Chapel, just...

I'd probably go nuts if I had to live there.

Every time I turn around, Gina has another one of her cousins with it.

Frank, you said you had something important to talk to me about?

I love getting a lot of time to myself, Charlie, and...

I've met a lot of people.

And if I'm not, there's a... trail.

A trail of gold.

What are you talking about?

It's not some places that you and I probably never even heard about.

It's not in Asia.

It moves through the Middle East.

And it ends up in laboratories in the south of France.

Talking about narcotics.

I'm talking about a trail of gold that'll lead light to New York, Charlie.

For us, I made all the connections.

Are you crazy?

Did I make a mistake giving you your life back?

Narcotics is the worst business.

I don't think the money that we get from narcotics will be able to buy.

Even the crazies know enough to stay away from dope

the cops hate it and the feds hate it even more.

Because we'll be able to buy any cop we want.

And since when are you afraid of cops?

I'm afraid of 50 years in stir or death when it doesn't make any sense.

Now I want you to listen to me, Vito, and stop arguing.

Otherwise, I'm going to come to believe that you have lost your reason.

When I was a kid, they sent me up for running heroin.

That's on my record.

You're under me, Vito.

If you go down for heroin, I go down.

And if I ever go down because of you.

Let me put it this way.

What I'm giving you now is not advice.

It's an order.

You keep your family out of narcotics.

Your life is forfeit if you disobey me.

Yeah, who's this?

Yeah, man.

This is Jake Sherman.

Yeah, Jake.

How's Waxie going to do in my youth these days?

Oh, I left Waxie's outfit.

Waxie's got the outfit gunning for me.

My own friends, eh?

Yeah, how come?

On the car, I stole his books.

You want to put your hands on his money?

The books say where it's hid.

I ain't big enough to make that play.

But you are.

Well, why me, Jake?

I mean, it's not that we just shoot at each other.

We're not even friends.

Friends, eh?

Friends is the guy's waxie's got gunning for me.

You got the guts.

And the rep.

Your words good.

Yeah, that's true.

Where are you?

Broadway year 20th.

Can you come down here to meet us?

Uh-uh.

I feel like these books is 10 feet wide and everybody's looking at me.

I want to find a dark place and hide, eh?

Okay.

Broadway in 20th.

Southeast corner half an hour.

Tomorrow

I'll see my guest.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's very nice.

We'll drop your grandson for.

Relax, David.

We all got to go sometime.

Your sister's going to be a rich widow.

We'll meet somebody nice.

Come on, baby.

He's got the flu.

He's my brother-in-law and I love him.

But why should I make him drive with us today and get us infected?

Take these out of the plate doors.

Yeah, well, it's tinks down on the level.

You won't hate the arm of the plate.

David likes to drive this thing?

Sure, why not?

Go.

Hey,

Green, look at this.

This thing really is boatproof.

What's the matter with you, folks?

I'm hit, Ben.

Ben, how did you get hit?

Well, I got blood on my butt, and I'll find

out in a where else it could have come from.

I'll probably break a shit up to the floorboard or something.

Look, you slide over.

I'll run you down to the same entrance.

All right?

That this thing's supposed to be boatproof.

Sorry, it's going to no one.

All right, then.

Stop!

Ben?

Hey.

Oh, God.

Oh, Benny.

I'm all right.

I'm all right.

One of these times I got a call.

What?

Say what?

The seagulls as lucky as Lucky Blue Channel?

Oh, Benny.

Hey, I'm hearing that's the car that fills the place.

All right?

Hey, David.

I thought you were in bed with the floor.

I feel rotten, but, you know, I thought maybe

if I came up, so I'd sell it, you know, family.

David wanted to get back to the city right after we got the call.

Oh, did it take care of me?

Yeah?

I should have been there with, uh, forget it.

Wouldn't have been healthy anyway, would it?

No.

Well, you knew that.

You had the floor.

Stella, what's for lunch?

Oh, Benny, what is it going to take to make you real likely?

Stella, I do realize.

Look at this.

Just two ways to go in this world.

You work hard, you save your money, some boss gives you orders.

You don't live to be a hundred, but you feel like it.

Well, you go my way, okay?

Look, could you give me something to eat up, Starbucks?

Yeah, okay.

David, do me a favor.

Close the front door, will you?

Sure.

I don't want my enemies coming in there.

Yeah.

You keep looking for them.

That's it.

Chink's split with Gordon.

Sure.

Then Chink went with the Dutchman and had Benny set up.

All right, what if that's true?

What do you recommend?

And I check with the outfit and I have Leppe and Albert take care of the Dutchman.

Why?

The convention in Chicago starts in just a few weeks.

You want to turn the streets of New York into a bloodbath when we're trying to

elect the next president of the United States?

I don't know.

The government got Capone for us.

And Dewey's already breathing down on Shultz's neck, right?

The streets?

Remember the streets, Michael?

When we were growing up?

Well, that pipe that Benny always used to have, will it?

Yeah.

And you had a knife?

I never should have lost that damn knife.

And Ben Seagull were hardened criminals.

They lived.

Like the others in that world.

They lived.
