After taking out the two most
powerful Mob bosses in New York...

34-year-old Charles
'Lucky' Luciano

sets in motion the
next phase of his plan...

to seize control of
the New York Mafia.

Luciano and his crew...

Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello,

Bugsy Siegel, and
Vito Genovese...

send an army of hit
men to eliminate loyalists

of the New York
underworld's old regimes.

Find someone.

But it's gotta be done.

You tell me what
you want me to do.

I'll take care of him.

I think goodfellas
rise in the groups

because they are ruthless.

They were killers.

I mean, that's a known fact.

It's a competitive
game for them.

Over the next two days,

gangsters across the
country are murdered

in the biggest purge
the Mafia has ever seen.

Easy, Joe.

Easy.

Jesus, Vito.

Look, don't do anything stupid.

I ain't here to kill ya.

Then what is this?

Lucky wants to talk to you.

Luciano spares a select few

who he feels are
more valuable as allies.

With his power secured,
Luciano makes his next move...

calling a meeting with
Maranzano's former underboss,

Joe Bonanno.

Killing Maranzano was necessary.

It was either
gonna be him or me.

And it wasn't gonna be me.

The past is the past.

Luciano sees
potential in Bonanno...

a man not tied to the
old-school Sicilian ways...

and decides to offer Bonanno

the opportunity to
head his own family.

Joe Bonanno,

he owned garment-centered
operations on 34th Street.

He owned trucking businesses,

all kinds of businesses,
so he was a man of wealth,

a man of influence,

a man of reason.

With Bonanno on board,

Luciano has eliminated
his competition...

establishing order
in his operation.

Maranzano's gone.

Masseria's gone.

And Luciano is at
the top of the hill.

But Luciano decides

the most important
thing to be done

is to create organizations

that won't war with each other.

They need a regimen, rules.

Otherwise, they'll be going
through this all the time.

Luciano turns to his
homeland for inspiration.

Unlike in America,

the Sicilian Mafia has
always been strictly organized.

There are nearly a hundred gangs

referred to as 'crime families.'

Each family has a boss

and they all work under
the capo di tutti capi...

the boss of bosses.

It's almost like the
aristocracy of the underworld.

Men who were family heads

needed to establish some rules
and boundaries and understanding

for the continuation
of their way of life.

It's a system that has worked
for over a hundred years

and is known as Cosa Nostra,

which translates to 'Our Thing.'

Luciano bases the structure of
his new Mafia on the Cosa Nostra

with one big change.

You just gotta make sure that
when you sell them something new,

you make it seem old.

You know Sicilians
better than Sicilians, huh?

Huh?

To gain the support of
the other Mob bosses,

Luciano keeps Mafia
membership limited to Italians.

But Lansky will remain
Luciano's most trusted advisor

from outside the Mafia's ranks.

Usually, you know, with the...
especially the Sicilian Mafia,

that was it.

Actually, you had to
be a Sicilian to be made.

You got to be Italian,
but Lucky was like,

'Hey, these guys
got great business.

I'm gonna deal with them.'

Luciano was ready to
present the one big change

he's made to the Cosa Nostra

that he knows will revolutionize
the American Mafia forever.

Luciano calls for
a major meeting

of the crime bosses in New York
and major gangsters elsewhere.

Until this time, there really
is no Mafia in America.

There's individual gangs operating
in some kind of ad hoc manner.

Luciano saw that this
had to be changed.

Lucky, good to see you.
- It's good to see you.

Vincenzo.

Al.

The blood on the
streets must stop

and the cycles of
revenge must end.

We may be criminals,

but that doesn't
mean we're savages.

We have to run our
business like a business.

To begin, we'll start organizing
our families like we did in Sicily,

with the capos, the
crews, the consiglieres

all reporting to the
head of the family.

But there will be no
more boss of bosses.

The days of the capo
di tutti capi, they're over.

Instead, we'll have
a board of directors,

a Commission run by the heads
of the five New York families.

They will have the
final say in all matters,

even life and death.

The heads of the
five New York families,

the members of the
Commission, are...

Giuseppe Profaci...

Vincent Mangano...

Tommy Gagliano...

Joseph Bonanno...

and Lucky Luciano.

Luciano creates
the Commission...

a board made up of the heads
of the five New York families

who will run the Mafia
instead of a boss of bosses.

Luciano's motivation was power.

He would give a role

to all these other guys

because he was smart,

he knew how to play people.

And if you share power the
right way, you have the power.

In effect,

Lucky is writing a
constitution for the Mafia.

There will be a
boss of each family,

there will be a
second-in-command... an underboss...

and there will be a
consigliere... the counselor.

To peace and profits.

Luciano creates
the modern Mafia.

He is the main architect of
what will be the American Mafia

for the rest of the century.

To peace and profits.

In a matter of months,

Lucky Luciano has taken out the
two criminal kingpins of New York

and brought together the most
powerful and violent gangsters in America

under a board of directors
known as the Commission.

One thing we never wanna do

is make problems for
ourselves, you understand?

The Commission has
final say on all matters...

from dividing territory
to ordering hits.

They sort of said,
'We're not gonna have

these random killings where one
guy gets pissed off at another guy

and he goes off
and he just kills them.

So we're gonna do it like
they do it in the real world,

which is if somebody has a
problem with somebody else,

he will go to an underworld
court and he will plead his case.'

They were like the
Security Council of the U.N.

And I know that's
laughable in many ways,

but they actually tried to
resolve as many of their problems

peacefully as possible
to stay away from the law.

Disputes would get
reported to the Commission

and most of them
would get settled.

Of course, when it didn't get settled,
then a murder might have to take place.

To carry out the
Mafia's approved hit list,

Luciano knows he will
need an enforcement arm

with no ties to the
Italian Commission.

So he looks outside the Five
Families to a group of Jewish gangsters.

In 1931, Luciano orders his
most trusted business partner

to assemble the lethal team.

Lansky was like a
recruiter, you know?

At a board meeting
for a college.

'Hey, I know who
could play free safety.'

You know, he knew who they
were and he recommended them

as the guys that
could fill this new role

that was suddenly created
by this underworld court.

Lansky quickly enlists an
elite group of Jewish hit men.

Violent killers who
will come to be known

as Murder, Inc.

All right, this is
how it's gonna work.

The Commission
will confirm all hits.

You guys get your
orders, you do your job.

Be precise.

You guys will be like ghosts.

Nothing gets left
behind. Nothing.

It was kind of a subcompany
of the new modern Mafia

that Luciano designed.

But you have to realize

most of the hit men were Jewish.

The reason being,

the law enforcement didn't
expect Jewish guys to be hit men.

They integrated, so
that threw them off.

Each hit man has his
own signature style.

Bugsy Siegel is a loyal
member of Luciano's crew

who takes pleasure in
making his victims suffer.

Albert Anastasia
is a feared killer

with a short fuse and deadly aim

who becomes known as...

the Lord High Executioner.

Abe Reles believes in
a hands-on approach,

earning the nickname 'Kid Twist'

for his preferred
method of killing...

...strangling his
victims with wire.

Louis Lepke is a
disciplined assassin,

isolating his targets
to avoid witnesses.

As a little kid,

I remember hearing
the stories about

these Jewish
killers mobsters had.

And the Italians, how
they worked with them

and how they respected
these murderers.

These were guys that
were the baddest of bad.

They were cold-blooded
murderers that worked for the Mob.

They formed the deadliest team
of hit men in American history

and transformed the art
of killing into a science.

Once a contract is handed down,

the assassin spends weeks
preparing the execution...

assembling weapons,

stealing a getaway car,

and trailing his target.

When the moment is
right, he makes a clean hit...

and begins covering his tracks.

Fingerprints are often
burned beyond recognition

and the body is
dumped in a river

or buried with chemicals
to eliminate the smell.

In just 10 years, Murder, Inc.
will kill more than 1,000 people,

averaging one murder
every three days.

And because no ties to
the assassins are left behind,

hundreds of murders
remained unsolved for years.

The newspapers did know
dead bodies killed in a similar way

started turning up
all over the country.

And they knew that it was
probably one group of guys,

and that's really the story
of Murder, Incorporated.

With the Commission in
place and Murder, Inc. on call,

Lucky Luciano has created
an underground government

and an invisible army.

Lucky Luciano
delegated the violence.

And he said, 'If we
all band together,

you know, we could do
this thing as an organization.'

So there'd be order.

When you don't have
order, then it's chaos.

You get destroyed.

Luciano believes his national
organization is built to last.

But what he doesn't realize

is that the Mob is about
to face its biggest threat

from within.

Lucky Luciano's Commission
is organizing the criminal world...

into an efficient
moneymaking machine.

But one of Luciano's
biggest earners

is a Jewish gangster who
isn't part of the Five Families.

Dutch Schultz ran
a very powerful gang

in New York, in the Bronx.

In fact, some people
used to go around saying

in New York there was a
Big Six, not just a Big Five,

because Schultz
was so important.

Dutch Schultz is known as
the Beer Baron of the Bronx.

He muscles his way
into the restaurant unions

and Harlem's number rackets.

His numbers operation alone

brings in $20 million a year.

Schultz is also a vicious
gangster with a hair-trigger temper.

Schultz has been building
relationships with politicians for years

by fixing their elections.

Come on, boys.
All right, let's go.

Right to the front. Come on.

Schultz pays off voters
and brings them to the polls...

so they can vote
for his candidates.

There was no doubt
that the American Mafia

took advantage of all their
connections with corrupt politicians,

and when they saw the
opportunity to make money,

certainly taking it from
the federal government,

this is what we did.

Can I ask your business here?

Tampering with
elections is illegal.

Ah...

I'll keep that in mind.

Schultz is unaware that
he's just caught the eye...

of the one man in New
York he can't pay off...

a 32-year-old lawyer from
Michigan named Thomas E. Dewey.

Thomas Dewey is an
Assistant US Attorney

with political aspirations.

In New York City,

people are voting
multiple times.

Tom Dewey had been a
poll-watcher at one point

and had seen this, and it probably
inspired some of his later prosecutions.

He'll go on to become
the governor of New York

and run for president...

We are a united party.

Our nation stands tragically
in need of that same unity.

...losing one of the most famous
elections in American history.

I learned a lot of lessons
about being a lawyer

from reading
about great lawyers,

and Tom Dewey
was an inspiration.

I mean, I learned many lessons
of leadership from Dewey.

Dewey firmly believes
in the rule of law.

He also wants to make a
name for himself in New York.

When Tom Dewey
went after Lucky Luciano,

he went after him because he
was a major organized crime figure

in the United States.

He saw this as a stepping-stone,

a way that he could
burnish his resume

so that he would be able
to run for political office

and ultimately run for the
presidency of the United States.

With a New York kingpin
protected by corruption...

Dewey knows he'll have to start by
going after Luciano's known associates,

including the man helping
to fix local elections,

Dutch Schultz.

This is the guy.
- What guy?

The guy from the
polls, Dutch Schultz.

You don't give up, do you?
- This isn't personal.

Schultz is all over
the number rackets,

restaurants, the
Jersey waterfront.

Schultz works
with Lucky Luciano.

Schultz is nothing but a crack.

He's our way in.

We can't get to Luciano,
but we can get to Schultz.

How much time do you need?

Give me a month.

Get busy.

With approval from US
Attorney William Dodge,

Thomas Dewey is about
to declare war on the Mob.

Thomas Dewey is now
a special prosecutor

who's determined to
make a name for himself

by going after organized crime.

With Mob boss Lucky Luciano
insulated by crooked politicians

and an army of thugs...

Dewey's first target is
Jewish gangster Dutch Schultz.

But Schultz has been paying off
judges and politicians for years.

It's very difficult for
people in our time,

really, to understand
how widespread

the corruption in New
York City at that time was.

My grandfather was very
offended by what he saw

and he felt that someone
should do something about it.

To bring down Schultz,

Dewey is going to have to
find a way to prosecute him.

And a trial from a year earlier
may give him the answer.

Al Capone has ruled the
violent Chicago underworld

for a decade.

If you go all the way back
to the time of Al Capone

and you read about it,

he hung around with
politicians and judges and police.

He was right in the midst
of society at its highest level.

He's beaten witnesses,

bribed judges,
intimidated juries...

and has ties to
over 100 murders,

including the savage St.
Valentine's Day Massacre.

When Capone was
finally brought to trial,

it wasn't for murder.

It was for not paying his taxes.

I hereby find
Mr. Alphonse Capone

guilty of tax evasion
on all counts - Guilty?!

and hereby remand him to
the custody - I'll show you guilty!

of the state for
the next 11 years.

Thanks to an ambitious law
enforcement agent named Eliot Ness,

Al Capone will become
one of Alcatraz's

most notorious inmates.

Tom Dewey followed the
lead of the people in Chicago

who went after Al
Capone for tax offenses.

If you can't get them for one thing,
you get them for something else.

Thomas Dewey
sees his opportunity

and goes after Dutch Schultz
on tax evasion charges.

Get him in here.

But even though
he's a wanted man,

Schultz is seen partying at
Manhattan bars and nightclubs.

Schultz liked to be a
big shot around town.

What's the deal, huh?
Hey, let's fill it up, huh?

He was one of the original owners
of the famous Cotton Club in Harlem,

so he was a man-about-town

as well as a man... a
man-about-gangsterdom.

Get another bottle of vino
over here for the ladies.

That's all. Cheers,
huh? We're all here.

We're all here together.

Schultz's exploits
start making headlines.

But he manages to stay one
step ahead of Thomas Dewey

and his investigators.

Months pass without an arrest.

...how much overtime it costs.

I don't care if any
of you get a day off.

I don't care if
you eat or sleep.

Nobody rests!

Dewey.

Yeah... yes, sir, I hear
you loud and clear.

Dewey's inability to
bring Schultz into custody

soon turns from a
local tabloid story

into a national embarrassment...

...landing on the desk
of the director of the FBI,

J. Edgar Hoover.

Hoover has made his reputation

by taking down some of the most
notorious criminals in the country.

But he's refused to let the FBI
investigate organized crime in New York.

For most of his reign,

Hoover totally ignored the
Mafia and claimed it didn't exist.

But he had reasons for
not tackling the Mafia.

In the 1930s, nearly
all of Hoover's agents

are clean-cut men from
small towns in Middle America.

They had no idea
about the Mafia culture.

There was no way they
could infiltrate the Mafia.

Hoover may also have
another more personal reason

for not going after
the New York Mob.

J. Edgar Hoover never
wanted to take on the Mafia

because the Mob
had a file of him

with pictures of him wearing
dresses and garter belts.

That's a theory.

He could've been extorted.

They could've said, 'Look, we're
gonna reveal you as a homosexual,'

something which obviously is
very different than it is today.

Despite the risks,

Hoover decides that his reputation
as a crime fighter is at stake.

He can no longer
let Dutch Schultz

make a mockery
of law enforcement.

For the first time in history,

Hoover names a New York gangster

public enemy number one.

Dutch Schultz was
violating the dictum of,

'Don't put a
spotlight on the Mob.'

Lucky Luciano has spent years

building the perfect
criminal organization.

By drawing the
attention of the FBI...

Dutch Schultz is
threatening to tear it all down.

Sure you weren't followed?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Just... make it fast, huh?

You've been bringing a
lot of heat on us, Dutch.

What am I supposed to...
- You know what you're supposed to do.

You gotta turn yourself in.

Come on.

Lucky, I...

It's the only way.

Look, you'll get the
best lawyers, all right?

The best lawyers, huh?

All right.

If I do this for you,

you gotta help me beat this rap.

Whatever it costs.

You have my word.

After nearly two years
of successfully eluding

Thomas Dewey and the FBI,

the most wanted man in
America is turning himself in.

I don't think Lucky
Luciano was a genius.

I think he was a very
bright guy at the right time

in the right situation.

A Sicilian wiseguy
once told me...

he said, 'When you
got them by their balls,

their hearts and
minds will follow.'

With Schultz in custody,

Thomas Dewey is
now closer than ever

to clinching his first victory
over the New York Mafia.

But what he doesn't know

is that Lucky Luciano has
already put a plan in motion

to make sure Schultz goes free.

In the old days, when
a member of a group

got into trouble,

the group took care of them as
far as a lawyer was concerned.

They didn't go hungry.

They got them out on bail.

Days after Schultz
surrenders, he easily posts bail.

And the Mob's lawyers win
a petition to move his trial

400 miles north

to Malone, New York.

If the Mafia can't buy off
the biggest city in America,

they'll settle for
something smaller.

The minute Schultz
arrives in Malone,

he begins spreading
money all over town...

and hosting parties
for local officials.

Enjoy it! Enjoy it, enjoy it.

And it's on me.

People often think that the
way to succeed in the Mob

is to be feared.

Livin' up.

Certainly that's important,

but what's more important
is just being charming.

She's very funny.
She's very funny.

That's all I can...

A week before his trial,

the Jewish mobster takes
his public relations campaign

a step further.

Schultz had tried to
ingratiate himself so much

that he actually
converted to Catholicism.

These ambitious, lawless
gangsters... they were cunning.

They were capable of
presenting themselves

as men of respect.

Judge.

The jury has been unable
to reach a verdict in this case.

I got... I got off!

Just as Luciano promised,

Schultz gets off and is
free to get back to business.

Dewey has spent
two years of his life

building his case
against Dutch Schultz.

And once again,

Schultz is back on the streets.

There were frustrations

in the prosecutions
in the cases he made.

But he was a fighter

and he was never
going to back down.

Dewey and his team work
tirelessly night and day

on a new case
against Dutch Schultz.

This one.

Right here, that's the
guy. Get him in here.

You got some kind of intel?

These are the new
numbers, just came in.

About $6 million.

Just bring him in.

Just six weeks after
the trial in Malone,

Dewey pins Schultz as the leader

of the largest illegal
gambling ring in New York,

sending over 60
officers on a citywide raid

to shut down Schultz's
most lucrative racket.

I don't care what it takes.

I don't care how much it costs.

Get me Dutch Schultz!

With Dewey closing in,
Dutch Schultz goes into hiding

and decides there's
only one way out...

to kill Thomas Dewey.

Now that Thomas Dewey has issued

a second warrant for his arrest,

Dutch Schultz is once again
the most wanted man in America.

Dutch Schultz got very
intimidated by Dewey.

He realized Dewey
was out for him,

and he decides Dewey
has to be assassinated.

This Dewey is a rabid dog.

He's not gonna stop.

He's not the first and
he's not gonna be the last.

Well, what if he
is the last, huh?

What if Thomas Dewey
takes down you, Luciano?

What if he takes down
every damn one of you?

Is that a chance
you're willing to take?

We can't just knock guys off

every time the law
kicks up some dust.

Since when?
- Since now.

Settle down, Schultz.

It'll all blow over.
- Oh, not this time.

Not this bastard!
- What are you saying, hmm?

I'm tellin' ya, this son of a bitch
Dewey is not gonna rest one day

until every one of
you is behind bars.

Maybe Dutch is right.

Maybe we should take him out
before he causes any more trouble.

It's gonna wreak
havoc on our business.

Business isn't everything.
- Yes, it is.

It's not gonna happen.

When the Commission,
and especially Luciano,

hear about this,

they realize Schultz
is bad for business.

You can't kill a
prominent prosecutor.

You'd bring the whole wrath
of the criminal justice system.

Why risk it?

After being rejected
by the Commission,

Dutch Schultz
sees no other option

than to plan the murder of
Thomas Dewey on his own.

So he turns to Murder, Inc.
hit man Albert Anastasia.

Albert?

Christ, Dutch, you know the
kind of trouble you're in right now?

You know how many people are
talking about you, watching you?

But it's what you do.

That's not how this works.

You gotta get it approved
by the Commission.

You scared?

I'm not scared of nothin',
Dutch, but I'm not stupid.

It'll cost you double.

I open the back of the
truck up... six cases.

That's all this guy's driving
down the road is six cases.

I go to the front,

go to this guy and say,
'What's wrong with you?'

He looks at me, 'It's
my favorite brand.'

Know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna take a leak.

After he's tipped off
by Albert Anastasia

of Schultz's plan to
kill Thomas Dewey...

Lucky Luciano has ordered
a hit on one of his own.

But what Luciano doesn't realize

is that by taking out Thomas
Dewey's number one target...

he's just put himself on the
top of Dewey's most wanted list.
