closing due to prohibition,

538

Come on, guys.

Let's get moving.

541

It's not long before they're
selling their illegal booze

542
00:31:27,238 --> 00:31:28,804
to hundreds of speakeasies

543
00:31:28,806 --> 00:31:30,940
and nightclubs throughout
Chicago.

544
00:31:34,445 --> 00:31:36,546
Torrio was
a sophisticated thinker,

545
00:31:36,548 --> 00:31:38,748
and he recognized that this
wasn't just something

546
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:40,383
that you did haphazardly,

547
00:31:40,385 --> 00:31:42,518
but that it had something
in common with

548
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,653
running a real business.

549
00:31:52,497 --> 00:31:55,398
Within months, they've acquired
six breweries

550
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,301
and begin producing thousands
of bottles of beer a week.

551
00:31:59,637 --> 00:32:01,337
But even though
their bootlegging business

552
00:32:01,339 --> 00:32:04,974
is taking off, they still answer
to "big Jim."

553
00:32:20,459 --> 00:32:21,592
Show me the books.

554
00:32:30,936 --> 00:32:32,336
On the left

That's cash
unaccounted for.

558
00:32:52,258 --> 00:32:53,757
Unaccounted for?

559
00:32:55,461 --> 00:32:57,494
Why don't you just call
it what it is-- missing.

560
00:32:58,664 --> 00:33:00,897

accounted for it yet.

570

I took that
$300 from his wallet...
