1
00:00:01,627 --> 00:00:05,297
Previously on 'The Making
of the Mob: New York'...
2
00:00:05,464 --> 00:00:06,966
All right, this is
how it's gonna work.
3
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:11,137
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano takes
control of the New York Mafia.
4
00:00:16,142 --> 00:00:17,184
And with his crew...
5
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:19,895
Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel,
6
00:00:20,062 --> 00:00:22,940
Frank Costello,
and Vito Genovese...
7
00:00:23,107 --> 00:00:25,317
Easy, Joe. Easy.
8
00:00:25,484 --> 00:00:29,613
...Luciano establishes a powerful
commission of five families
9
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:31,323
to rule the underworld...
10
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:32,783
The five New York families.
11
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:37,246
They will have the final say in
all matters, even life and death.
12
00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:40,166
...enlisting notorious
hit squad Murder, Inc.
13
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:42,460
to enforce its power.
14
00:00:42,626 --> 00:00:44,587
You guys'll be like ghosts.
15
00:00:44,754 --> 00:00:47,256
Nothing gets left
behind. Nothing.
16
00:00:56,515 --> 00:00:58,768
But a threat to
Luciano's organization
17
00:00:58,934 --> 00:01:00,519
emerges from within...
18
00:01:00,686 --> 00:01:02,354
Get another bottle of vino
over here, for the ladies.
19
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:05,274
...as rogue gangster
Dutch Schultz...
20
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:10,863
...plans to assassinate the man
on a mission to take down the Mob...
21
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:13,199
New York Prosecutor
Thomas Dewey.
22
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:15,785
I don't care how much it costs.
23
00:01:15,951 --> 00:01:18,621
Get me Dutch Schultz!
24
00:01:18,788 --> 00:01:22,374
Dewey launches a crusade
against organized crime.
25
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:27,296
And to save the Mafia,
26
00:01:27,463 --> 00:01:30,966
the New York
kingpin orders a hit...
27
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:34,220
on one of his own.

38

In a single move, the New
York Mafia has eliminated
39
00:03:04,101 --> 00:03:05,936
the greatest
threat to its power...
40
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:09,273
uncontrollable
gangster Dutch Schultz.
41
00:03:14,403 --> 00:03:16,322
God bless... God bless America.
42
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:22,620
With Schultz out of the picture,
the Mob is back in business.
43
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:25,164
He doesn't have anything
in... that's all natural.
44
00:03:25,331 --> 00:03:27,208
It's beautiful.
- I'm Sicilian, come on.
45
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:32,004
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano,
Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel,
46
00:03:32,171 --> 00:03:37,593
Frank Costello, and Vito
Genovese are living the high life.
47
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,846
{\an8}Guys like Lucky came
up from the bottom...
48
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:45,017
clawed their way up
and wind up being on top.
49
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:47,853
And when they became the boss,
50
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:52,316
it was almost like their
'Man of La Mancha' dream.
51
00:03:52,483 --> 00:03:54,526
This is what they wanted.
52
00:03:56,987 --> 00:03:59,198
All right? Drink up. A salute!
53
00:03:59,365 --> 00:04:01,575
Salute!
- God bless.
54
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:05,913
In my neighborhood growing up,
55
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,498
{\an8}we didn't have money.
56
00:04:07,665 --> 00:04:09,416
{\an8}And now all of a sudden
you see these guys,
57
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:12,753
they have a diamond
pinkie ring, gorgeous suits,
58
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,630
beautiful women with them.
59
00:04:14,797 --> 00:04:17,299
They were gods to us.
60
00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:19,218
By 1935,
61
00:04:19,385 --> 00:04:22,388
Luciano and his crew
had built an empire,
62
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:27,518
pulling in the modern-day
equivalent of over $100 million a year.
63
00:04:30,688 --> 00:04:32,982
Meyer Lansky is
leading the charge,
64
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:35,776
revolutionizing their
gambling rackets,
65
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:38,570
turning their low-rent
gambling dens
66
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:41,865
into high-class establishments.
67
00:04:42,032 --> 00:04:44,201
{\an8}Well, Lansky saw opportunities
68
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:45,828
{\an8}where other people saw nothing,
69
00:04:45,995 --> 00:04:49,164
and he saw treasure where
other people saw trash.
70
00:04:49,331 --> 00:04:53,877
He was the first guy to take
craps, which was a street game,
71
00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:57,256
and put it up on
green felt on a table
72
00:04:57,423 --> 00:05:00,342
and thereby make it
respectable and fancy.
73
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:04,179
As Lansky is inventing
the first modern casinos...
74
00:05:04,346 --> 00:05:06,598
Look, I want all
these collected today!
75
00:05:06,765 --> 00:05:08,851
Collected today.
76
00:05:09,018 --> 00:05:11,103
...Vito Genovese
has a heroin racket
77
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:13,856
that's pulling in
millions of dollars a year.
78
00:05:14,023 --> 00:05:15,691
But he decides to diversify
79
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:18,277
and begins running
high-stakes poker games...
80
00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:21,030
Three of a kind.
81
00:05:22,698 --> 00:05:26,452
...luring in unsuspecting
wealthy businessmen
82
00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:30,664
and fixing the outcome to
make sure he always wins.
83
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:36,628
Full house.
84
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:38,630
Jacks over nine.
85
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:44,803
{\an8}Gambling was the strength
of the American Mafia.
86
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:48,140
{\an8}The reason gambling
was appealing to Mob guys
87
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:50,142
was because their
life was a gamble,
88
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:53,228
and it was only a reflection
of the way they lived.
89
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,071
While business is booming,
90
00:06:02,237 --> 00:06:05,324
Bugsy Siegel makes sure
the money is collected...
91
00:06:07,826 --> 00:06:11,538
and that the Mob's
authority is understood.
92
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:16,335
And as part of the Mob's
hit squad, Murder, Inc.,
93
00:06:16,502 --> 00:06:20,214
Siegel carries out orders
sent down by the Commission.
94
00:06:30,682 --> 00:06:33,977
Frank Costello keeps
the authorities at bay,
95
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:38,190
using his connections with corrupt
politicians and law enforcement
96
00:06:38,357 --> 00:06:42,486
{\an8}to ensure the Mob's
business runs smoothly.
97
00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:45,030
{\an8}Now that they were running
these criminal organizations,
98
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:46,865
very profitable ones,
99
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:49,451
they had to pay off
police and politicians
100
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:51,703
to continue thriving,
101
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:54,164
because they didn't want
any outside interference,
102
00:06:54,331 --> 00:06:56,250
you didn't want to be arrested.
103
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:59,378
{\an8}'The Godfather' was
based on Frank Costello,
104
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:03,632
{\an8}with all the judges and all
the politicians in his pocket.
105
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:08,429
At the top of the operation
is 38-year-old Lucky Luciano.
106
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,223
The best way to
describe Lucky Luciano
107
00:07:11,390 --> 00:07:16,228
was that he was a creative genius,
but a criminal creative genius.
108
00:07:16,395 --> 00:07:18,814
He knew entrepreneurship.
109
00:07:18,981 --> 00:07:21,567
He knew how
organizations should function
110
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:25,988
and how to get rid of
rivalries and competition.
111
00:07:26,155 --> 00:07:28,782
In effect, he was
an early equivalent,
112
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,742
a criminal equivalent,
113
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:35,414
of a Warren Buffett
or a Steve Jobs.
114
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,326
Hey. Where are you going?
115
00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:14,286
None of your business.
116
00:08:15,787 --> 00:08:18,415
You know who I am?
117
00:08:18,582 --> 00:08:20,876
Everybody knows who you are.
118
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:24,421
Am I supposed to be impressed?
119
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:27,716
Hey.
120
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,593
You haven't given
me the chance yet.
121
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:37,392
{\an8}Well, goodfellas are sexy guys.
122
00:08:38,769 --> 00:08:40,521
{\an8}They got money, they got power,
123
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:44,149
they have new cars,
they have the best clothes,
124
00:08:44,316 --> 00:08:47,152
and they're notorious
and they're bad boys.
125
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:50,197
And I think certain
women are attracted to that.
126
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:53,033
He's mesmerized over here, huh?
127
00:08:57,663 --> 00:08:59,665
But soon...
128
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:01,833
soon we can go
traveling together.
129
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,711
We'll go to Paris,
take you shopping.
130
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:06,964
You like that?
131
00:09:07,130 --> 00:09:10,384
Lucky Luciano lived
in the Waldorf-Astoria.
132
00:09:10,551 --> 00:09:13,595
Normal people with normal
lives don't live in fancy hotels.
133
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:16,056
That's for rock
stars and gangsters.
134
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:19,351
From his residential suite
at the Waldorf-Astoria,
135
00:09:19,518 --> 00:09:22,980
Luciano begins to build a
life with his new girlfriend,
136
00:09:23,146 --> 00:09:27,025
a 20-year-old Broadway
dancer named Gay Orlova.
137
00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:28,860
Luciano's relationship
with women
138
00:09:29,027 --> 00:09:31,363
{\an8}was similar to the relationship
139
00:09:31,530 --> 00:09:33,782
{\an8}of a lot of these guys...
140
00:09:33,949 --> 00:09:35,867
one-night stands.
141
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:37,995
Occasionally you met someone.
142
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:43,625
He had a longer relationship
with a woman named Gay Orlova.
143
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:46,253
Well, she was an
entertainer, she was fancy.
144
00:09:47,629 --> 00:09:49,172
I'm gonna take care
of you, you understand?
145
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:52,050
No matter what happens to
me, you'll be taken care of.
146
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:54,052
Do you understand?
147
00:10:05,564 --> 00:10:07,399
While his girlfriend's at home,
148
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:10,569
Luciano looks to
diversify his business
149
00:10:10,736 --> 00:10:13,864
into the seedier side
of the underworld.
150
00:10:44,436 --> 00:10:47,189
All right, fellas, well, it's
pretty self-explanatory.
151
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:49,358
As you see, the
man in the middle...
152
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,281
What do you have on Luciano?
153
00:10:56,448 --> 00:10:57,866
For years, Luciano has been
154
00:10:58,033 --> 00:11:02,788
New York Special Prosecutor
Thomas Dewey's number one target.
155
00:11:02,954 --> 00:11:05,916
But Luciano's rackets
are so well organized,
156
00:11:06,083 --> 00:11:09,670
pinning a crime on him
will be nearly impossible.
157
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:15,509
Well, being a prosecutor,
you come up in a tradition
158
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:18,220
in which you're here
to do the right thing.
159
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:19,930
You're constantly reminded
160
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:23,475
of the correct result
in America is justice,
161
00:11:23,642 --> 00:11:27,646
and the government wins
when we achieve justice.
162
00:11:27,813 --> 00:11:30,148
But what Dewey doesn't know
163
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:34,569
is Luciano is about to
play right into his hands.
164
00:11:43,453 --> 00:11:44,663
At the height of his power,
165
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:49,209
Lucky Luciano is determined
to expand his criminal operation
166
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:53,004
and take advantage of the
oldest profession in the world...
167
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:55,590
prostitution.
168
00:11:55,757 --> 00:12:00,512
In the 1930s, prostitution is
illegal in the United States,
169
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,142
but Luciano knows underground
brothels are still thriving,
170
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:08,520
{\an8}and he wants a
cut of their profits.
171
00:12:08,687 --> 00:12:13,859
{\an8}Luciano realized that crime
could cash in on free enterprise.
172
00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:15,318
That was what he was gonna do.
173
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:19,448
They weren't gonna limit
themselves to one or two occupations
174
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:23,118
like Prohibition or
gambling or loan-sharking.
175
00:12:23,285 --> 00:12:24,828
They would do everything.
176
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:27,122
Like all of his other rackets,
177
00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:30,041
Luciano streamlines
the prostitution business.
178
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:33,253
He has madams to
oversee the customers
179
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:37,382
and bookers to bring prostitutes
to his brothels around the city.
180
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:40,510
{\an8}Prostitution was a
socially accepted thing
181
00:12:40,677 --> 00:12:42,637
{\an8}on high levels of government,
182
00:12:42,804 --> 00:12:45,724
where politicians
would go into houses
183
00:12:45,891 --> 00:12:48,602
in the company of
their gangster friends
184
00:12:48,769 --> 00:12:53,899
and spend a couple of hours
and just slip out the back door.
185
00:12:55,192 --> 00:12:58,487
Soon, the criminal kingpin
has a citywide network
186
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:03,325
of up to 200 brothels
and 1,200 prostitutes.
187
00:13:03,492 --> 00:13:06,745
Lucky Luciano has
created a prostitution empire
188
00:13:06,912 --> 00:13:09,873
that will bring in
$12 million a year,
189
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,502
the modern-day equivalent
of over 200 million.
190
00:13:40,111 --> 00:13:42,030
You know I don't like it.
191
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:43,365
It's a dirty business.
192
00:13:43,532 --> 00:13:45,951
It's a business.
193
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:48,787
Look, these girls,
194
00:13:48,954 --> 00:13:51,748
they get sick,
they get diseases,
195
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:54,626
they get pregnant,
they need doctors.
196
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:58,421
It's trouble.
197
00:13:58,588 --> 00:13:59,631
It's a dirty business.
198
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:01,049
And we're in a dirty business.
199
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:02,884
Charlie, let me ask you this.
200
00:14:03,051 --> 00:14:06,263
Are you all right being connected
to hundreds of drug-addicted girls
201
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:09,474
who will turn on you in a
second for another hit of heroin?
202
00:14:09,641 --> 00:14:13,478
Are you okay with an army of pimps
who are loyal only to themselves?
203
00:14:14,688 --> 00:14:17,107
Are you okay risking
everything we've built...
204
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:20,068
for this?
205
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:26,491
To Luciano, Meyer Lansky
206
00:14:26,658 --> 00:14:29,995
has been a trusted friend and
business partner for decades.
207
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,083
And while he's always
trusted Lansky's advice,
208
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:39,921
this time Luciano ignores
his friend's warning.
209
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,643
Stay longer.
210
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:55,604
I can't.
211
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:57,981
Come on, take me to lunch.
212
00:14:58,148 --> 00:15:00,358
I wish I could.
213
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,278
You don't have time for me?
214
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:05,864
I'll always have time for you.
215
00:15:06,031 --> 00:15:07,866
You're my girl. You're my girl.
216
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:12,287
Within months, Luciano
begins leading a double life,
217
00:15:12,454 --> 00:15:14,414
spending days
with his girlfriend
218
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:16,875
and nights at his brothels.
219
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:18,585
Lucky Luciano, he had a woman
220
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:20,921
{\an8}that was like his main
woman, his main squeeze.
221
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:22,923
{\an8}He adored her.
222
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:24,633
But he cheated on her.
223
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,177
It's a power
thing, yeah, I think.
224
00:15:27,344 --> 00:15:29,679
And then men are also just pigs.
225
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:35,644
♪ Why am I so
happy I could cry? ♪
226
00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:38,521
It's always great
to see you, Lucky.
227
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:41,733
Luciano begins frequenting
one of his own brothels,
228
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,986
run by a madam named Cokey Flo.
229
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:47,280
You happy with the merchandise?
230
00:15:49,032 --> 00:15:50,575
Very.
231
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:59,000
Anything you want... it's yours.
232
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:02,796
♪ Why? Why? ♪
233
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:06,633
♪ 'Cause I found
you, that's why... ♪
234
00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:12,931
{\an8}I was involved with
prostitutes, working girls.
235
00:16:13,098 --> 00:16:16,685
{\an8}There's something about
them that you have in common
236
00:16:16,851 --> 00:16:18,937
which you don't have in
common with your wife.
237
00:16:19,104 --> 00:16:21,106
They're con artists.
238
00:16:21,272 --> 00:16:22,607
They're movers, they're shakers.
239
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,735
They're criminals also, so
you feel at ease with them.
240
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:28,071
You could spend a
night with a prostitute
241
00:16:28,238 --> 00:16:31,199
and let her know more about your
life than you want your wife to know.
242
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:49,551
As Thomas Dewey builds
his case against Luciano,
243
00:16:49,718 --> 00:16:52,887
he brings in an ambitious
young prosecutor
244
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:55,265
named Eunice Carter.
245
00:16:55,432 --> 00:16:58,351
Eunice Carter was an
assistant district attorney
246
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:01,312
and the very first
African-American woman
247
00:17:01,479 --> 00:17:04,315
to serve in that capacity
in New York City.
248
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:08,194
Carter soon discovers
the break in the case
249
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:11,364
Dewey has been looking for.
250
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:14,200
More than half the
prostitutes arrested
251
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:18,580
had the same bail bondsman
and the same attorney.
252
00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:21,166
They're all working together.
253
00:17:21,332 --> 00:17:23,835
What I need is how Luciano
is connected to these people.
254
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:26,171
It's not a coincidence.
255
00:17:27,505 --> 00:17:31,384
Dewey and Carter discover that
the man bailing out the prostitutes
256
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:35,055
is a known criminal
with ties to the Mob.
257
00:17:40,685 --> 00:17:42,520
This is his booker... Ralph.
258
00:17:44,314 --> 00:17:45,607
Get him in here.
259
00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:48,234
On what charge?
260
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:50,528
Littering, jaywalking...
I don't care.
261
00:17:50,695 --> 00:17:52,530
Bring him in.
262
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:53,907
Thomas Dewey believes
263
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:57,994
he's found the weak link
in Luciano's operation.
264
00:17:58,161 --> 00:18:00,455
Now he just has to
make the booker talk.
265
00:18:01,873 --> 00:18:03,374
'What charge?'
266
00:18:11,549 --> 00:18:13,927
Special Prosecutor Thomas Dewey
267
00:18:14,094 --> 00:18:17,889
has finally caught a break in
his case against Lucky Luciano
268
00:18:18,056 --> 00:18:21,726
and brings in a booker tied
to Luciano's prostitution ring.
269
00:18:21,893 --> 00:18:25,313
Now Dewey just
has to get him to talk.
270
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,732
So, Ralph, I'm
wondering what you know
271
00:18:27,899 --> 00:18:30,360
about Lucky Luciano's
prostitution ring.
272
00:18:30,527 --> 00:18:31,736
Who?
273
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:35,406
Sometimes he's known
as Charles Luciano.
274
00:18:35,573 --> 00:18:37,909
Ringing any bells?
- Never seen him before.
275
00:18:38,076 --> 00:18:40,078
Never?
276
00:18:40,245 --> 00:18:44,165
I have a lot of evidence
showing the contrary.
277
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:46,626
Are you sure that's the
answer you want to give me?
278
00:18:51,381 --> 00:18:53,550
I've never seen the guy before.
279
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:56,261
That's real cute, Ralph...
280
00:18:56,427 --> 00:18:59,472
but I'm almost out
of patience here.
281
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:03,434
What do you know
about Lucky Luciano?
282
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:06,104
{\an8}If you were a rat, you were...
283
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:09,107
{\an8}you couldn't be tolerated
in any way, shape or form.
284
00:19:09,274 --> 00:19:11,276
I mean, they would
kill you for that.
285
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:13,653
That's an unwritten law.
286
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:16,322
You and I have nothing
more to talk about.
287
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:32,797
You've gotta be careful.
288
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,465
Dewey's coming for you,
and he's got the mayor
289
00:19:34,632 --> 00:19:36,301
and half the city
council behind him.
290
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,637
Well, then it's a good
thing we got the other half.
291
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:43,558
You can't buy Dewey.
292
00:19:43,725 --> 00:19:46,477
Okay? He's not like the others.
293
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:49,314
Meyer, everybody's got a price.
294
00:19:57,655 --> 00:20:01,367
Dewey lets the booker
walk, but he has a plan,
295
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:05,288
as Assistant District
Attorney Eunice Carter
296
00:20:05,455 --> 00:20:08,917
has introduced a new
crime-fighting technology.
297
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:22,013
Two shifts tonight,
sometimes six to 12 girls.
298
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:23,723
It all depends.
299
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:25,683
Sometimes more, sometimes less.
300
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:28,019
Is this mine?
- Hold on one second. Beat it!
301
00:20:28,186 --> 00:20:29,604
Is this mine?
- Yeah.
302
00:20:29,771 --> 00:20:30,855
Well, I'm looking
at the numbers...
303
00:20:31,022 --> 00:20:35,026
{\an8}The use of wiretaps was very
much of an innovation at the time.
304
00:20:35,193 --> 00:20:38,780
{\an8}No need for a court order.
305
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:42,200
It's really become one of the
staples of law enforcement.
306
00:20:44,202 --> 00:20:47,580
Dewey's investigators listen
to hundreds of hours of calls...
307
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:48,873
Just trying to enjoy my cigar.
308
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,167
...waiting to hear
evidence against Luciano.
309
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:53,294
About one every hour.
- Hey, Ralph.
310
00:20:53,461 --> 00:20:54,879
Your numbers are off, damn it.
311
00:20:55,046 --> 00:20:57,423
I did the books,
so they're not off.
312
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,467
Well, I'm looking at the
numbers. They're off.
313
00:20:59,634 --> 00:21:01,135
Listen, if you're
having trouble,
314
00:21:01,302 --> 00:21:03,680
you're gonna have to talk
to Lucky about it, all right?
315
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:12,897
Well, you talk to Lucky and
then you get back with me.
316
00:21:13,064 --> 00:21:14,816
All right?
317
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:19,612
Always busting my balls.
318
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:30,999
What am I listening to?
- One of Luciano's bookers.
319
00:21:35,378 --> 00:21:36,421
Your numbers are off, damn it.
320
00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:39,007
I did the books,
so they're not off.
321
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:41,134
Well, I'm looking at the
numbers. They're off.
322
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:42,802
Listen, if you're
having trouble,
323
00:21:42,969 --> 00:21:45,096
you're gonna have to talk
to Lucky about it, all right?
324
00:21:45,263 --> 00:21:47,515
Talk to Lucky, and then
you get back with me.
325
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:54,522
Find out where Mr. Luciano is.
326
00:22:07,577 --> 00:22:11,956
So... why do they call
you Lucky anyway?
327
00:22:13,624 --> 00:22:16,210
You're not from
around here, are you?
328
00:22:16,377 --> 00:22:18,212
What makes you say that?
329
00:22:18,379 --> 00:22:19,672
Just a hunch.
330
00:22:28,598 --> 00:22:31,684
Let's go! Let's go!
331
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,644
Police! This is a raid!
332
00:22:33,811 --> 00:22:35,271
Hey, hey, hey!
333
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:36,898
All right, let's go. Let's go.
334
00:22:37,065 --> 00:22:38,941
Come on, let's go.
Come on, everybody out.
335
00:22:42,445 --> 00:22:43,738
Everybody out!
336
00:22:48,951 --> 00:22:52,121
Thomas Dewey
organizes a citywide raid
337
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:54,457
to find Lucky Luciano.
338
00:22:54,624 --> 00:22:56,417
He's not here.
339
00:23:07,136 --> 00:23:08,888
Luciano escapes,
340
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:12,058
but for Dewey, the
raid isn't a total loss,
341
00:23:12,225 --> 00:23:16,562
as he brings in a prostitute who
works in one of Luciano's brothels.
342
00:23:18,689 --> 00:23:22,527
So, how do you
know Lucky Luciano?
343
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:30,993
I don't.
344
00:23:32,453 --> 00:23:34,455
You're lying to me.
345
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:41,838
You and me both know I'm
gonna be outta here in two hours...
346
00:23:42,004 --> 00:23:43,881
three, tops.
347
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,595
Not this time.
348
00:23:54,851 --> 00:23:58,438
I have you on solicitation,
disorderly conduct,
349
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:02,900
resisting arrest,
assaulting a police officer,
350
00:24:03,067 --> 00:24:06,237
public lewdness,
narcotics possession
351
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:08,156
and sodomy.
352
00:24:10,575 --> 00:24:14,328
Given your record, I'd say
you're looking at five to 10.
353
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:17,498
Or you can walk.
354
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:20,751
And I can expunge
your prior convictions.
355
00:24:22,462 --> 00:24:26,549
Just tell me everything you
know about Lucky Luciano.
356
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:33,347
All right.
357
00:24:51,741 --> 00:24:54,160
He's gone.
358
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:56,162
Find him.
359
00:24:56,329 --> 00:24:58,331
No matter what it takes.
360
00:25:05,087 --> 00:25:07,590
Special Prosecutor Thomas Dewey
361
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:11,427
is determined to find Mafia
kingpin Lucky Luciano.
362
00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:13,930
He's gone.
363
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:15,932
Find him.
364
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:17,975
No matter what it takes.
365
00:25:18,142 --> 00:25:21,812
But Luciano is in the last
place Dewey would look,
366
00:25:21,979 --> 00:25:26,400
more than 1,200 miles away
in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
367
00:25:33,824 --> 00:25:35,910
Hustle-bustle of the
city streets, the subway...
368
00:25:36,077 --> 00:25:37,495
who needs that, right?
369
00:25:37,662 --> 00:25:39,163
This is where it's at.
370
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:41,999
You're safe here, right?
- Yeah.
371
00:25:44,919 --> 00:25:46,671
What about the local police?
372
00:25:46,837 --> 00:25:48,714
You don't have to
worry about that here.
373
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:51,342
No?
- No.
374
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:55,429
With one of the most corrupt
police forces in the country,
375
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,890
Hot Springs is the most
sought-after hideout
376
00:25:58,057 --> 00:26:01,477
for gangsters on
the run from the law...
377
00:26:01,644 --> 00:26:05,773
a haven filled with casinos,
overrun with gamblers,
378
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:08,985
and completely under
the control of the Mob.
379
00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:11,195
When Lucky landed
in Hot Springs,
380
00:26:11,362 --> 00:26:13,781
it was controlled
by organized crime.
381
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:18,035
Any gangster could check
in and enjoy the hospitality,
382
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:19,870
{\an8}as long as that
gangster promised
383
00:26:20,037 --> 00:26:24,709
{\an8}not to bring his criminal
activities into the town.
384
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:32,550
Back in New York, Dewey
knows if he can't find Luciano,
385
00:26:32,717 --> 00:26:35,636
all the evidence he's
collected will mean nothing.
386
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:40,641
With Luciano
nowhere to be found,
387
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:44,061
Dewey expands
his citywide search
388
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:46,689
into a nationwide manhunt.
389
00:26:54,530 --> 00:26:57,074
On April 3rd, 1936,
390
00:26:57,241 --> 00:27:01,287
Dewey's big break won't
come from effort or strategy,
391
00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:03,748
but from pure coincidence.
392
00:27:10,254 --> 00:27:11,797
Lucky!
393
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:13,299
Yeah?
394
00:27:13,466 --> 00:27:15,343
Lucky Luciano.
- That's right.
395
00:27:15,509 --> 00:27:18,429
A New York detective
working an unrelated case
396
00:27:18,596 --> 00:27:21,557
recognizes Luciano while
passing through Hot Springs.
397
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:23,809
You're coming with me.
398
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:25,686
Hands off. Get
your hands off me.
399
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:27,396
After months on the run,
400
00:27:27,563 --> 00:27:32,693
the most powerful gangster in
America has finally been arrested.
401
00:27:45,623 --> 00:27:47,792
Hey, Sheriff, let me
make a phone call.
402
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:06,686
Luciano believes if he can
arrange his trial in Arkansas,
403
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:09,980
he'll be able to bribe his
way out of Dewey's charges.
404
00:28:13,234 --> 00:28:15,319
Hello?
- Frank, what's going on?
405
00:28:15,486 --> 00:28:17,446
Charlie, don't worry,
we're handling it.
406
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:19,448
We're pulling every
string that we can.
407
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:21,951
Trust me, I'm on it... we're
calling in all the favors.
408
00:28:22,118 --> 00:28:23,744
All right.
409
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:26,330
Just do whatever you
have to do, you understand?
410
00:28:28,499 --> 00:28:32,128
The police department,
attorneys, they're all for sale.
411
00:28:32,294 --> 00:28:34,547
{\an8}We had them all in our hand.
412
00:28:34,714 --> 00:28:37,591
{\an8}Like 'The Godfather,' they
said he had the politicians.
413
00:28:37,758 --> 00:28:38,801
We had them.
414
00:28:41,679 --> 00:28:44,432
Luciano's bribes pay off
415
00:28:44,598 --> 00:28:48,769
and the local sheriff personally
refuses Thomas Dewey's demand
416
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:52,398
to deliver Luciano
back to New York.
417
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:58,738
Dewey soon learns that Luciano
is continuing to run his rackets.
418
00:29:00,364 --> 00:29:03,951
Vito Genovese is making
millions dealing heroin...
419
00:29:06,203 --> 00:29:07,830
Meyer Lansky is overseeing
420
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:11,041
the largest network of
casinos in the country...
421
00:29:15,337 --> 00:29:18,549
and Frank Costello is
continuing to use his connections
422
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:21,594
to keep Luciano out
of Dewey's reach.
423
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:26,390
From a jail cell in Arkansas...
424
00:29:26,557 --> 00:29:31,353
Lucky Luciano is still in
full control of his empire.
425
00:29:40,571 --> 00:29:42,114
If you have a situation
426
00:29:42,281 --> 00:29:44,867
where you have the level
of institutional corruption
427
00:29:45,034 --> 00:29:49,246
that you had in the late
1920s and early 1930s,
428
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:51,123
{\an8}one of the things
that you need to do
429
00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:54,752
{\an8}is to try to rally the
public behind your efforts.
430
00:29:54,919 --> 00:29:58,130
We are entirely prepared
to prosecute Lucky Luciano.
431
00:29:58,297 --> 00:30:00,132
The only problem is that
he has fled to Arkansas,
432
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:01,592
where for some reason
433
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:04,595
the authorities seem
unwilling to hand him over to us.
434
00:30:04,762 --> 00:30:06,555
Lucky Luciano,
to my knowledge...
435
00:30:06,722 --> 00:30:09,600
To put pressure on
Arkansas state officials,
436
00:30:09,767 --> 00:30:12,186
Dewey takes his
case to the media.
437
00:30:14,438 --> 00:30:16,941
And while still
in police custody,
438
00:30:17,107 --> 00:30:21,612
Lucky Luciano is named
Public Enemy Number One.
439
00:30:26,283 --> 00:30:29,370
We are entirely prepared
to prosecute Lucky Luciano.
440
00:30:29,537 --> 00:30:31,455
The only problem is that
he has fled to Arkansas,
441
00:30:31,622 --> 00:30:32,665
where for some reason
442
00:30:32,832 --> 00:30:35,960
the authorities seem
unwilling to hand him over to us.
443
00:30:36,126 --> 00:30:37,795
Lucky Luciano,
to my knowledge...
444
00:30:37,962 --> 00:30:41,799
With Lucky Luciano protected
by a corrupt Arkansas sheriff,
445
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:45,928
Thomas Dewey goes to the
press and names the Mafia kingpin
446
00:30:46,095 --> 00:30:48,389
Public Enemy Number One.
447
00:30:48,556 --> 00:30:53,269
{\an8}The motivation for calling
Luciano Public Enemy Number One
448
00:30:53,435 --> 00:30:58,399
{\an8}was to personalize the
corruption and the criminal conduct.
449
00:30:58,566 --> 00:31:01,652
Luciano is widely regarded
450
00:31:01,819 --> 00:31:05,030
as the most important
racketeer in the country,
451
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:08,784
and this case involves one of
the most loathsome of crimes...
452
00:31:08,951 --> 00:31:14,081
exploiting the most vulnerable,
downtrodden women in our society.
453
00:31:14,248 --> 00:31:16,417
{\an8}Thomas E. Dewey utilized
454
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:20,963
{\an8}a two-pronged approach to
get Luciano out of Hot Springs.
455
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:24,675
In addition to putting pressure
on the police departments,
456
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:27,219
he also got the press involved
457
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:29,680
and accused Hot Springs
458
00:31:29,847 --> 00:31:32,349
of being afraid
to release Luciano
459
00:31:32,516 --> 00:31:33,767
into his custody.
460
00:31:33,934 --> 00:31:37,104
We intend to see
Lucky Luciano in prison
461
00:31:37,271 --> 00:31:39,440
for the longest
possible amount of time.
462
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:47,448
I'm not afraid of Thomas Dewey.
463
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:50,576
I'm just an American
citizen defending my rights.
464
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:54,163
I happen to respect and think
Mr. Dewey's an intelligent man
465
00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:56,624
and a great prosecutor.
466
00:31:56,790 --> 00:32:00,961
This is about politics, the
most vicious kind of politics...
467
00:32:01,128 --> 00:32:03,213
To counter Dewey's attack,
468
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,383
Luciano launches his
own press campaign.
469
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:08,552
I might not be the most
moral man in this world,
470
00:32:08,719 --> 00:32:11,889
but I have never in my life
supported or participated
471
00:32:12,056 --> 00:32:13,515
in the practice of prostitution.
472
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:17,061
And I have every confidence
that the authorities in Arkansas
473
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:21,899
will uphold the law and send
this man Luciano to meet his fate
474
00:32:22,066 --> 00:32:24,735
in a court of law
here in New York City
475
00:32:24,902 --> 00:32:26,236
where his crimes have occurred.
476
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:29,031
For days, Luciano
and Dewey wage war
477
00:32:29,198 --> 00:32:32,576
through press conferences
and national headlines.
478
00:32:33,911 --> 00:32:35,829
And he can say whatever
he wants in the paper,
479
00:32:35,996 --> 00:32:39,500
but I tell you this... any jury
or judge will see it my way,
480
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:43,629
and this case will be
dropped, and I will be set free.
481
00:32:48,342 --> 00:32:50,594
Let's see if my luck'll change.
482
00:32:53,222 --> 00:32:54,932
Give me three.
- Okay.
483
00:32:55,099 --> 00:32:57,434
With lawyers
fighting his extradition
484
00:32:57,601 --> 00:32:59,687
and the local
sheriff in his pocket,
485
00:32:59,853 --> 00:33:03,607
Luciano believes it's only a
matter of time before he's released.
486
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:05,442
Full house.
487
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:07,861
Hmm... can't beat that.
488
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,124
Send Luciano out!
489
00:33:29,633 --> 00:33:32,386
Dewey's press
campaign has paid off.
490
00:33:32,553 --> 00:33:34,972
And with public
pressure on state officials,
491
00:33:35,139 --> 00:33:37,307
the Arkansas governor
is forced to send
492
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:42,021
a team of heavily armed
state troopers to Hot Springs.
493
00:33:42,187 --> 00:33:43,647
State troopers.
494
00:34:12,009 --> 00:34:14,845
On April 4th, 1936,
495
00:34:15,012 --> 00:34:19,475
the most powerful gangster in
the country is forced to surrender.
496
00:34:32,154 --> 00:34:33,655
What's your name, cop?
497
00:34:36,867 --> 00:34:40,662
It's a long way to New York
from Arkansas, no conversation.
498
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:44,541
How much they paying you?
499
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:46,502
I'll tell you what, I'll give
you $10,000 right now
500
00:34:46,668 --> 00:34:48,629
if you let me go... cash.
501
00:34:49,838 --> 00:34:51,757
What do you say, copper?
502
00:35:08,357 --> 00:35:10,025
His whole case is a stretch.
503
00:35:10,192 --> 00:35:12,236
It's not a stretch.
504
00:35:12,402 --> 00:35:14,321
He's very smart.
505
00:35:14,488 --> 00:35:17,241
Well, we're smart, too.
506
00:35:17,407 --> 00:35:21,286
Back in New York, Lucky
Luciano is out on bail,
507
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:24,998
facing charges of
compulsory prostitution.
508
00:35:25,165 --> 00:35:27,751
With just days to
prepare for the trial,
509
00:35:27,918 --> 00:35:31,547
the notorious gangster meets
with his lawyer and his crew
510
00:35:31,713 --> 00:35:36,260
to plan his defense against
Special Prosecutor Thomas Dewey.
511
00:35:36,426 --> 00:35:39,304
Charlie, this guy
really knows his stuff.
512
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:42,516
That doesn't mean he's gonna win.
- And he's coming after you hard.
513
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:45,185
Look, has anyone tried
to look into this guy, huh?
514
00:35:45,352 --> 00:35:47,563
Pay him off?
- Dewey doesn't care about money.
515
00:35:47,729 --> 00:35:49,398
Does he care about his life?
516
00:35:49,565 --> 00:35:50,607
Listen to me.
517
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:52,442
There's nothing funny
about these charges.
518
00:35:52,609 --> 00:35:55,529
He's right. Dewey
means business.
519
00:35:57,948 --> 00:36:00,784
Look, there's a lot of
things they can get me on...
520
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,621
but not this.
521
00:36:04,788 --> 00:36:06,540
That's not gonna happen.
522
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:16,508
Court will come to order.
523
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:19,219
The case of New York
State versus Charles Luciano.
524
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:22,389
Thomas Dewey finally
has Lucky Luciano
525
00:36:22,556 --> 00:36:24,224
right where he wants him.
526
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:27,060
And after three years
of building his case,
527
00:36:27,227 --> 00:36:31,356
Dewey is determined to put
the gangster away for good.
528
00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:39,531
Court will come to order.
529
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:43,410
The case of New York
State versus Charles Luciano.
530
00:36:43,577 --> 00:36:48,332
In 1936, the most powerful
Mob boss in America
531
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:50,459
finally goes on trial.
532
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,506
{\an8}The prosecution of
Luciano was the first time
533
00:36:56,673 --> 00:37:02,512
{\an8}that a Mob member of that
seniority and stature and power
534
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:06,350
had been called to
account in a courtroom.
535
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:09,353
It was extraordinarily
dangerous to take the Mafia on.
536
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,940
They had operated with
impunity for a very long time.
537
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:16,443
They had substantial
segments of law enforcement
538
00:37:16,610 --> 00:37:19,029
and the courts in their pocket.
539
00:37:19,196 --> 00:37:21,907
So there was a very
substantial personal risk
540
00:37:22,074 --> 00:37:23,951
for my grandfather.
541
00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:26,870
Your Honor, the prosecution
calls Miss Jane Smith.
542
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:31,541
Thomas Dewey
launches into his case,
543
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:35,504
calling prostitutes from
around the city to take the stand.
544
00:37:47,140 --> 00:37:50,644
You say you were
afraid to go to the police.
545
00:37:50,811 --> 00:37:53,146
Why?
546
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,233
I know what they
do to squealers.
547
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:01,196
Plenty of girls who talked
got burned with cigarettes...
548
00:38:01,363 --> 00:38:05,075
...their tongues cut.
549
00:38:05,242 --> 00:38:07,661
I want to be very specific here.
550
00:38:07,828 --> 00:38:12,582
Since you started working
at this establishment,
551
00:38:12,749 --> 00:38:18,380
how many men would
you see in a day?
552
00:38:18,547 --> 00:38:22,926
15, sometimes 20.
553
00:38:23,093 --> 00:38:25,762
I didn't even know
what heroin was,
554
00:38:25,929 --> 00:38:28,015
and...
555
00:38:28,181 --> 00:38:30,434
at first it was free.
556
00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:34,396
Then it wasn't free anymore.
557
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:40,569
In total, Dewey
calls 68 witnesses.
558
00:38:42,404 --> 00:38:44,281
And while the
prosecutor's strategy
559
00:38:44,448 --> 00:38:47,617
to shock and outrage the
jury seems to be working,
560
00:38:47,784 --> 00:38:50,370
Luciano is unfazed.
561
00:38:53,665 --> 00:38:55,917
Luciano is convinced
it will take more
562
00:38:56,084 --> 00:38:59,671
than just the testimonies of
prostitutes to take him down.
563
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:08,305
Your Honor, the prosecution
calls Florence Brown to the stand.
564
00:39:24,196 --> 00:39:26,073
Would you state your
name for the jury, please?
565
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,117
Florence Brown.
566
00:39:29,284 --> 00:39:31,244
Do you go by any other names?
567
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:34,790
People call me Cokey Flo.
568
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:37,292
Why do they call you that?
569
00:39:37,459 --> 00:39:39,878
Take a wild guess.
570
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:44,841
'Cause I like to use cocaine.
571
00:39:47,511 --> 00:39:50,430
Where do you get cocaine from?
572
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:54,810
Different places,
different people.
573
00:39:54,976 --> 00:39:56,228
Depends.
574
00:39:56,395 --> 00:39:59,314
Have you ever received cocaine
575
00:39:59,481 --> 00:40:01,691
from anybody in this courtroom?
576
00:40:09,074 --> 00:40:10,367
Yes.
577
00:40:10,534 --> 00:40:14,579
Would you be so good as to
point out that person to the jury?
578
00:40:22,212 --> 00:40:23,547
Let the record show
that the witness is pointing
579
00:40:23,713 --> 00:40:26,049
at Charles 'Lucky' Luciano.
580
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:38,478
Was this cocaine a gift?
581
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:44,526
A mark of Mr. Luciano's...
generosity?
582
00:40:46,236 --> 00:40:47,904
Not exactly.
583
00:40:48,071 --> 00:40:50,407
Please, enlighten us.
584
00:40:50,574 --> 00:40:52,534
He knew I was an addict,
585
00:40:52,701 --> 00:40:55,620
he knew it was my weakness,
586
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:59,207
so he used it to
control me and my girls.
587
00:41:02,169 --> 00:41:03,587
He said he wanted to
run the whorehouses
588
00:41:03,753 --> 00:41:06,423
just like they do
the grocery stores.
589
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:08,508
The grocery stores?
590
00:41:08,675 --> 00:41:11,386
I'm not sure I understand.
591
00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:14,556
People come in, they
pay for the merchandise,
592
00:41:14,723 --> 00:41:16,224
they leave happy.
593
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:20,687
He wanted to get as
many customers in and out
594
00:41:20,854 --> 00:41:23,273
as quickly as possible.
595
00:41:31,948 --> 00:41:33,783
No further questions,
Your Honor.
596
00:41:45,754 --> 00:41:49,341
Thomas Dewey may have
tipped the scales in his favor...
597
00:41:55,388 --> 00:41:58,892
but Luciano is determined
to make a comeback.
598
00:42:01,895 --> 00:42:07,025
And against his lawyer's advice,
Luciano does the unthinkable.
599
00:42:07,192 --> 00:42:11,154
The New York kingpin will take
the stand in his own defense...
600
00:42:14,407 --> 00:42:17,619
in a move that could
destroy everything.
601
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:22,749
Mr. Luciano...
602
00:42:24,670 --> 00:42:34,100
