That lucky Dutchman.

That lucky Dutchman.

FATS: That's why I was late, Vinnie.

I heard it on the radio.

Well, it looks like you can't beat the Dutchman.

Yeah? I can't beat him, huh?

He ain't gonna pay off now. Yeah.

Okay. That's okay.

Here he saved a hundred grand. Right there.

And right here he's gonna lose it.

He's gonna lose it on this nag right here.

( dramatic theme playing)

And I'm gonna see to it personal.

( dramatic theme playing)

ANNOUNCER: The Untouchables.

A Desilu production.

Tonight's episode: "Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll".

Starring Robert Stack as Eliot Ness.

Costarring Clu Gulager.

And Lawrence Dobkin.

( dramatic theme playing)

NARRATOR: In the month of February in the early '30s,

three widely separate events occurred.

At Churchill Downs, the entries for the Kentucky Derby

were closed.

In Tijuana, Mexico, a gambling syndicate

accepted a huge bet in the Winter Book

on one of those entries.

The bet came from New York City,

from a phone in a building on the west side of Manhattan.

It was placed for a sallow-faced,

tight-fisted man,

named Arthur Flegenheimer Jr.,

better known as the Dutchman.

Dutch Schultz, beer baron of New York,

who, with his bodyguard, Benny Bristow,

and his chief lieutenant, Lefty Gallagher,

sat in his office figuring the take

from his criminal empire,

while outside three men waited.

Fats Finney, Needles Bledsoe,

and their leader, a man who had a vindictive hatred

for Dutch Schultz,

a man who was one of the most fantastic gangsters

of that era, Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll.

We, uh, give it another half an hour?

If we have to, we give it another year.

If it's the last thing we do, we'll put the blocks

to the Dutchman.

Mm-hm.

All right.

All right, that's okay.

Dutch? Yeah, wait a minute.

All right.

It checks out. The take's holding up good.

Did you get that placed? Right.

One hundred grand in the Winter Book

on Enchantment to win the Kentucky Derby.

We average, uh, 7-to-1 odds.

7-for-1.

But a lot of things can happen between now

and the day of that derby.

You know, anything can happen to that horse.

Personally, I think we should hang on to the dough,

bet it at the track

on the day of the derby.

And get 8-to-5?

Me, I like that 7-for-1.

But if Enchantment don't run,

then we lose the whole 100 grand.

They don't give you your money back.

Lefty, you just keep the beer trucks rolling out,

the policy slips rolling in,

and your advice to yourself.

Let me worry about the money.

Okay, Dutch.

Anything you say.

Okay if I go now? Yeah.

There's a little dame down at the Club Durant that I...

Go, go, go. Just get back here in the morning, will you?

Right, Dutch.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Hmm.

Jeez.

( ominous theme playing)

Hello, Lefty.

Oh, hello, Needles.

What are you doing in this neighborhood?

I thought you got tied up with Mad Dog.

VINNIE: Yeah, that's right, Lefty.

He did.

Oh, uh, h-hello, Vinnie.

I-I hope you know I didn't mean nothing

by that "Mad Dog."

Yeah, it's all right, Lefty, it's all right.

Let's walk. Walk?

Yeah, come on. Let's walk.

(tires squeal)

(horn honks)

Look, look, Vinnie,

I never did you nothing.

Why, uh, you work for the Dutchman.

Uh...

Look, Vinnie. Yeah?

He's up there now alone with Bristow.

Be coming down in a couple of minutes. You could...

Heh-heh! What do you mean?

You put a slug in his belly, huh?

You want that, Lefty?

I don't think so. I'll tell you why.

'Cause that'd only make him bleed from his guts, you know.

You know what I mean?

I wanna make him bleed

the way it hurts the most, Lefty, you know.

In the pocketbook, huh?

Why don't you get in the car?

(Vinnie grunts)

Watch where you're going, you big...!

Why, you stupid little... Vinnie!

Get in the car.

Ma.

Ma!

I heard you were in New York digging into the rackets.

I figured you'd be interested in anything to do with Dutch.

Captain, captain.

You won't let anything happen to Tommy, my son.

He's in there now.

Those gangsters... Now, Mrs. Clover,

don't you worry, we'll take good care of him.

Big as a cannon.

Did we miss much?

CAPTAIN: I don't think Tommy will mind going over it again, will you?

From the beginning? Yes. From the beginning,

Tommy... Clover. This is Tommy Clover. Hi.

I'm Eliot Ness.

You're him?

The guy that got Al Capone?

Yes, but that's past.

Now we wanna hear your story, Tommy.

Yeah, sure.

Well, you see, I'm playing on the street,

with the scooter my old man made for me,

when these three guys come down the block.

What'd they look like? Guys.

One was a big guy

and the other was short and skinny.

And the guy in the middle was a real snazzy dresser.

Seen him on the block before. His name's Lefty.

Gallagher. The Dutchman's stooge?

That's the way we figure it.

Go on, Tommy. Like I say,

they're coming down the block and I'm scooting,

only they ain't looking.

So I bump into one of 'em,

the short, skinny one.

So I'm sore and I start to tell him off,

when he pulls this gun on me.

Gee, what a gun.

Real, with bullets.

It looked like a cannon.

He would've shot me dead right there,

only the big guy yells, "Vinnie!"

Vincent.

Vincent Coll.

I don't know. Maybe.

Anyways, he shoves the gun

in the middle of the other guy's ribs,

and they all get in the car and lam.

Did you see who was driving?

No. I never seen him.

I'm sorry.

Don't be, Tommy. You're doing fine.

Is this the man they called Vinnie?

Yeah, that's him. That's him.

Want me to tell it again? No.

All that talking makes a fellow thirsty.

Here.

Go buy yourself a soda. Thanks.

Thank you, Tommy.

What do you think? A ride?

If it's the Dutchman, I'd say a ride.

Coll's hated his insides

ever since the Dutchman pinned that "Mad Dog" label on him

when he was working for Schultz running beer.

But Lefty Gallagher?

Kidnapping?

That's the way we're gonna play it.

It gives us a chance to nose around the Schultz setup.

Keep him under surveillance. Something's bound to develop.

Thanks, captain. Sure.

Captain.

Oh, uh, you'll keep an eye on the kid.

Sure, 24 hours a day.

Good.

(knock at door)

They made you, Vinnie.

The kid was picked up by the cops and questioned.

What do you...? The kid.

The kid.

If you'd have kept your yap shut.

What'd you want me to do? Let you blast him?

If you gunned down that kid, you'd have real trouble.

Big heat that wouldn't let up until they burned you.

Not if he was dead. Not if he was dead,

they wouldn't burn nobody.

I got your milk for you, Needles.

(meowing)

Heh! Even Lefty's in the paper.

What'd they say?

They figure they'll find him

at the bottom of the East River wrapped in concrete.

Or in a pit in New Jersey covered with lime.

Yeah?

That's a laugh, huh?

(laughing)

(chuckles)

Ain't that a laugh, Lefty, huh? Huh?

Yeah.

Look, uh, Vinnie. Huh?

You wouldn't do anything like... What?

Well, you wouldn't do anything like what they said.

What? Me? You... You mean me?

What do you...? No, I... (chuckles)

Well, now, look, Vinnie, what do you intend on...?

Well, I mean... wh-why me?

Why? Why? Why? Yeah, I know...

I-I know, I know what you mean. Yeah, why?

Well, I'll tell you, Lefty.

You see, I... I heard, I don't know,

I just heard that you was a big help,

I mean a big help, see, to the Dutchman. Yeah.

I don't know, I just heard. And I need help.

I need help, you know.

I need a... I need a secretary.

What? I need a secretary.

Yeah, that's it. I need a secretary.

(chuckling)

Yeah, yeah, go. As a matter of fact, I, uh...

I, uh, got some notes...

Got some notes I wanna dictate.

I wanna dictate right now.

Uh... I want you to take 'em down, see?

Just like, uh... Just like I say.

Go ahead, Vinnie. Shoot.

(laughing)

Go ahead. Yeah.

Uh, dear Dutch, uh, I'm with Vinnie Coll.

It's a snatch.

And before he'll let me go he wants...

How much you think I should ask for, Lefty?

You see, word's around that, uh...

Well, that you're kinda

the Dutchman's right arm, you know.

And, uh, now, if a guy was gonna slice off my right arm...

I mean, you know, slice it off.

I'd pay a lot to stop him. Huh.

I'd pay, uh... I'd pay, uh... Yeah.

I'd pay 100,000 bucks.

Oh, now wait a minute, Vinnie...

Put it down, Lefty!

A hundred grand!

Huh?!

Uh, now, Vinnie... You...

All right, look, you know the Dutchman.

You know how tight he is with a buck.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I worked for him, remember?!

Uh...

Twenty-five grand.

Or maybe even 50 grand. Huh?

Oh, but he won't go for 100,00 bucks.

FATS: He's putting that much on a horse.

Huh? It's in Winchell's column.

He put 100 grand on Enchantment to win the Kentucky Derby

with the Winter Book in Tijuana.

Wha...?

A hundred grand on a horse?

Hey, hey, hey, look at this.

Look at that, Lefty, right there. Huh?

Now you should be worth at least...

Just at least as much as a horse.

Know what I mean?

So put it down, Lefty, put it down.

He wants 100,000 bucks...

before he'll spring me.

Then you sign it.

Sign it, Lefty.

That's right. Hey, hey, hey,

that's nice handwriting there, real nice.

Now a second note. Huh?

Dear Dutch...

Well, I mean, Lefty, I-I... Like you say,

I know the Dutchman.

I mean, I know him. You gotta squeeze him.

You gotta squeeze him real hard to get a buck outta him!

Hm?!

So...

Write it down there.

Dear Dutch,

he'll kill me.

Well, I mean it. Put "he'll kill me" down there.

If you don't, uh, pay up.

Yeah.

So send the 100 grand like he says.

Just like he says.

And sign that.

Go on, sign it.

Yeah, that's nice.

That should be enough.

Yeah. I mean, uh, when you figure

the Dutchman's gonna put 100,000 bucks on a horse...

On a horse, I mean...

But just in case it ain't, uh... why...?

Why don't we have another note?

I mean, just in case.

(meows)

Uh, only this time you write it, Lefty,

you write it.

Uh, I got a hunch you can do it better.

Better than me. Uh, by yourself. By yourself.

Say anything you like.

You... You even tell him

I've been mean to you.

(laughs)

I've been mean to you. (chuckling)

You just write it.

( mellow theme playing)

You finished, Lefty?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Here you are.

Why don't you read it, Needles?

"Dutch, for God's sake,

"give him the 100 grand.

"Give him the dough. I'll make it up to you,

"I'll pay you somehow.

"Dutch, I'm begging you, on the grave of my mother,

"give it to him.

Please."

Okay, Vinnie?

Yeah, that's all right, Lefty, that's all right.

(grunting)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(gunshots)

Needles, why don't you get the notes?

Those we need, him we don't.

Fats, you stow him in the closet.

(door opens)

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

The kidnapping of Lefty Gallagher

was a two-day sensation.

On the third day he was shoved off the front pages

by a blonde from the Follies,

who was suing her sugar daddy,

and a mechanic who had killed his wife and three children

because he couldn't find a job.

Lefty had been forgotten by nearly everyone

but Eliot Ness...

and the man who was feeling his pocket being picked,

Dutch Schultz.

A hundred grand.

That's 100,000 bucks.

That's the third note,

and Lefty sounds kinda worried.

You gonna pay it? Why, you think he's still alive?

Well, the boys think he is. Ah...

Will you look at this?

"Toss the money into a garbage can

near the picnic table at Foster Park."

That's just like Coll, ain't it? He's nuts.

A mad dog. Never had no respect for a buck.

"Toss the money in a garbage can."

Are you gonna do it?

How are the boys talking?

Unhappy.

They figure if you won't go to bat for Lefty,

you won't go to bat for them.

And that can be bad for business. I know.

All right.

Here are the keys to the vaults.

And you know where the banks are.

You deliver the money like he says. Ungh!

Tomorrow.

Okay, Dutch.

(door opens)

(chuckles, door closes)

A hundred thousand bucks.

Tossed into a garbage can.

( suspenseful theme playing)

What do say, what do you say? How do you like it?

Well, the Dutchman sure won't set no trap.

That's right, but for insurance, Needles,

you and me, we're gonna stay all night,

right up there.

Just in case he tries to stake out this place

with some of his boys.

Dutchman's due here

noon tomorrow with the dough, see,

so I want you to be back here by 11, Fats.

Right here, on the dot. Not right here on the dot.

Right over by the bridge, see, right there.

Just in case, uh you see more than one car coming up here,

anything looks like trouble, I want you to signal

with your headlights. Got it?

All right.

We'll be ready for 'em, huh?

(chuckles)

We'll be ready for 'em, huh?

Working out of an office in a federal building

in New York,

Eliot Ness and the Untouchables

stood ready to move

at the first sign of action

from either Dutch Schultz or Vincent Coll.

Still nothing? No.

Enrico is still tailing Benny Bristow.

Youngfellow's still out at the stakeout. Nothing else.

We'll wait.

I don't see it, Eliot.

The word's out that Gallagher's been kidnapped.

That should give us a chance to move in on... On Schultz

and start pushing him around a little.

We got a chance to do a lot more than just push him around.

If Coll grabbed Gallagher, he's gonna ask

for a big chunk of money.

Agreed.

If the Dutchman digs it up,

the tax bureau could be interested

in where he got that cash.

Particularly in light of these tax returns of his

that I've been reading.

So if he pays the ransom,

that should give us a chance to pick up Coll for kidnapping

and at the same time, get the Dutchman

for income-tax evasion.

A chance. Not a big one, but a chance.

Worth waiting for?

( ominous theme playing)

(knock on door)

WOMAN: Mr. Smith? (cat meowing)

Mr. Smith?

(knocking on door)

Mr. Smith?

(door opens)

( dramatic theme playing)

Did you catch the doctor? Yeah.

He said he's been dead four days.

The day he was kidnapped. FLAHERTY: Eliot?

They were certainly big eaters.

Must have been four or five of them.

Look at this. Bread wrappers, cake wrappers and candy.

They bought it by the carton not the bar.

Probably the last letter Lefty ever wrote.

He must have been scared green.

No one heard any shots? No one in the building.

Unless they're too frightened to say.

What's with the paper?

Item circled in Winchell's column.

A hundred thousand in the Winter Book.

That's probably what Coll asked for Lefty.

It's a kind of a joke he'd enjoy on the Dutchman.

If your guess is right,

the Dutchman must be real happy.

He just saved himself a lot of money.

But not trouble.

We're gonna make some for him.

Look at that, four days.

Four days he's dead.

I knew that, I told you that,

and you guys pushing me to pay out 100,000 dollars.

I tell you I know that Vinnie. He's kill-crazy.

I pinned the right tag on him.

He's a mad dog.

And look at here, $100,000 just about to get thrown away

in a garbage can.

(door opens)

Hey, Dutch. DUTCH: What?

There's a couple of guys wanna see you.

One of them's Eliot Ness.

Ness? You gonna see him?

(footsteps)

Well, Mr. Ness.

Well, you don't have to break in here. Heh!

I was just gonna call you.

Sure, you were.

No kidding, I was.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I seen this already.

Did you pay the money?

Did I...?

(chuckles)

What kind of a fool question is that?

I mean, you... You work for the federal government, Mr. Ness,

you've seen my tax returns.

Where would I get hold of a sum of money like that?

You didn't pay the money. No.

No, I've been trying to borrow it but no dice.

That's why I was gonna call you.

Eh, heh-heh! No, not to ask you for any money.

I figure as long as I can't pay,

the least I can do is try to nail Vinnie.

And then I see this in the paper and I figure I owe it to Lefty

to see that you guys get hold of this thing.

Foster Park, 12 noon.

Today's supposed to be payoff day.

It's the last run of the morning edition.

Comes out between 10:30 and 11.

This is the only paper the story has been in so far.

Foster Park is way out on Long Island.

There's a chance, just a chance, he hasn't seen it yet.

He might be out there waiting for the ransom money.

DUTCH: Mr. Ness,

I just wanna thank you for coming by.

Don't thank me yet.

(door closes)

That Mad Dog.

He almost trapped us that time.

Dutch, I think it's time we get this guy knocked off.

(sighs)

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to pay somebody to do a job

the law's gonna do for me for free, huh?

(chuckles)

( suspenseful theme playing)

All right, what time is it?

Twenty after 11. That fat tub of lard.

He was supposed to be down at the bridge by 11!

Probably he stopped for an extra breakfast.

Yeah?

I'll give him an extra breakfast.

I'll cut 50 pounds off his fat belly.

I'll cut 50 more pounds off his fat head!

You just keep looking out that window.

(sighs)

Well, he came.

A half an hour late, but he came.

Yeah, that fat boy,

he needs to be taught a lesson.

Hey. What's the matter?

He's driving up here.

( action theme playing)

The jerk. I told him to stay down there by the bridge.

I'm gonna blast his head off!

Don't shoot, Vinnie. Don't shoot.

They found Lefty!

Don't shoot. I got the papers.

Here. Here.

(panting)

That lucky Dutchman.

That lucky Dutchman.

That's why I was late, Vinnie.

I heard it on the radio,

so I waited for the late editions.

I figured you'd want the details.

Welt, it looks like you can't beat the Dutchman.

Yeah? I can't beat him, huh?

He ain't gonna pay off now. Yeah.

Okay. That's okay.

Here he saved a hundred grand, right there.

And right here he's gonna lose it.

He's gonna lose it on this nag right here.

( dramatic theme playing)

And I'm gonna see to it personal.

Stop.

Do you think he's there?

Let's find out.

Cover us.

( melancholy theme playing)

NARRATOR: Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll became the object

of a nationwide search.

He was reported seen in almost every big city in the country.

Working out of the Chicago headquarters

of the Untouchables,

Eliot Ness diligently checked every one of those tips.

But as the days lengthened into weeks

and the weeks into months,

the tips became fewer and fewer

until Vincent Coll was almost a forgotten man

to everyone except Eliot Ness

and the Untouchables.

(laughter, chattering)

For a time, even Dutch Schultz forgot about the Mad Dog,

but Vincent Coll did not forget the Dutchman.

He had plans.

Plans that included Miss Diana Carten,

the owner of the Kentucky Derby favorite,

Enchantment.

On April 20th of that year,

Miss Carten watched the loading of Enchantment

that was to take him from her farm in Lexington

to Churchill Downs.

(tires squealing)

Come on!

(indistinct shouting)

( dramatic theme playing)

ANNOUNCER: And now back to The Untouchables.

NARRATOR: The news of this startling crime

was read with much more than passing interest

in the office of the Untouchables in Chicago.

You read the papers? Yeah.

You got a hunch it's Coll?

A lot more than a hunch.

Item.

Dutch Schultz bet $100,000

on that horse in the Winter Book.

Item.

"Mad Dog" Coll asked exactly that amount of ransom

for Lefty Gallagher, which he didn't get.

Item.

This paper with the knife

stuck through the picture of the horse.

It's the second time it's been linked with Coll.

Finally, the whole idea of kidnapping a horse.

Can you think of anybody else in our files

you'd peg with a crime like this except "Mad Dog" Coll?

But they're asking for ransom.

If Coll just wanted to keep riding Schultz,

wouldn't he just kill the horse? That's what he did with Lefty,

and he still tried to collect.

Get three tickets to Louisville on the first plane available.

Right.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Well, you could be wrong, Dutch. Oh, don't tell me.

This is Coll again.

It's that 100,000 bucks.

He's gonna get it out of me, one way or another.

(door opens)

Here are the tickets to Louisville. Good.

What are we gonna do in Louisville?

We're gonna get that Mad Dog off of my back once and for all.

( dramatic theme playing)

(door opens)

Having kidnapped Enchantment,

Coll and his men holed up in an abandoned farmhouse

outside of Louisville.

You gonna kill a horse?

(chuckles)

Maybe, maybe not. Why?

You gonna cry over it, Needles? Huh? Heh-heh!

I'm beginning to see why the Dutchman

pinned that tag on you.

What tag?

Mad Dog.

FATS: Hey, Vinnie.

What do you want, you big tub of lard?!

Take it easy, Vinnie, the gun.

(breathing heavily)

I'm gonna let some of that hot air out of you right now.

What'd I do?

I done what you told me. I pressed the sailor suit.

So, what do you want, a medal?

And the time. The time.

You told me I should tell you the time.

You wrote in the note to the dame

you'll call her at 4:00,

tell her how to deliver the dough.

Yeah, yeah.

Time.

The time.

(clears throat)

What is it?

The time! What is it?!

Three, Vinnie, see? Exactly 3 on the button, see?

(screams, gunshots)

(whinnying)

A horse.

Why would he wanna kill a horse?

Why would he kill Enchantment?

'Cause he hates a gangster named Dutch Schultz.

A gangster who stands to lose $100,000

if your horse doesn't run.

If you pay the ransom, that could be just a bonus for him.

I'm not going to pay the ransom.

Chief Beaufort tells us you just drew

$50,000 from the bank.

We also know that you never bet on the horses.

Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money for a hat.

All right, it is the ransom money.

Now, may I go, please?

Miss Carten,

if you pay the ransom, we can't stop you.

But work with us so we can trap him. No.

I don't want Enchantment to get hurt.

He'll kill the horse, ransom or not, unless we stop him.

Vincent Coll's a psychopath, an insane killer.

He's called the "Mad Dog."

Are you sure it's this Coll?

Everything we've learned, every piece of evidence

we turned up points to Coll,

but if you ask me, can I swear to it? No.

Then I won't take the chance.

I want Enchantment back.

He's worth more than $50,000 to me.

I don't suppose you'd understand this.

Before my father died he was training Enchantment

for the Kentucky Derby.

I want him back.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

(phone rings)

H-hello.

Yes, it is.

Yes, I have. Right with me.

Yes?

I understand.

Yes, I will.

Oh, and, please,

don't let anything happen to Enchantment.

(phone clicks)

( ominous theme playing)

We're getting too close, drop back.

Get going.

It's all there. I swear it is.

Where's Enchantment?

Ah, you just relax. You'll get him.

Is he all right?

Yeah. He's all right.

He's strong as a horse.

(laughs)

We're losing him. Come on, step on it.

Somebody with her. Must be Coll.

We're being followed.

I didn't tell anybody... Shut up. Go straight ahead fast.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Turn right here.

Enchantment. Where's Enchantment?

You promised. You promised me Enchantment.

Quiet! (screams)

( action theme playing)

It was Coll. I'm sorry.

I should have listened to you.

I'm sorry.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

Fifty grand.

Fifty thousand bucks.

(laughing)

What's the matter, what's the matter?

Needles, ain't you happy?

Sure, sure.

Only let's blow this joint.

Vinnie. You don't have to kill the nag.

Just let him stay here till the derby's over.

That way Dutch loses the 100 grand just the same

as if you killed the horse.

Let's forget the horse.

Let's make the split and lam.

We ain't splitting anything, Fats,

and we ain't blowing this place. What?

You and Needles are gonna take this money,

you gonna take it and spread it all around.

You're gonna spread it around on bets

on the derby.

Bets? What?

Who are we bettin' on?

With Enchantment out of the race,

there's only one horse that figures, right?

That's Dream Prince. The odds on him now are 6-to-1.

That means we stand to make 300,000 bucks

at that price. Oh!

You're figuring wrong, Vinnie.

Dream Prince is gonna be an odds-on favorite.

You'll have to lay three bucks to get two

without Enchantment running.

Who says he ain't gonna run?

But the Dutchman... Enchantment...

That horse is gonna run.

Huh?

He just ain't gonna win.

( dramatic theme playing)

(car approaching)

Candy wrappers. They were here, all right.

I don't get it. I just don't get it.

Coll had everything. The money, the horse.

He could have killed it, but instead he calls the girl

and tells her where it is. That's crazy.

Who ever said Coll was sane?

Insane or not, he's got to have a pattern for his thinking.

Maybe he has.

I don't know what the pattern is,

but I'll bet these have something to do with it.

These houses overlooking the track are being searched.

All the back gates are guarded.

There's a special detail on the front gates and entrances.

Good.

We'll check the paddock and the stable area.

(intercom buzzes)

Excuse me.

Yes?

Oh, good. Send her in.

The Carten girl.

(door opens)

You sent for me?

I did.

Miss Carten, you still have time to withdraw Enchantment

from the derby.

But, Mr. Ness,

my trainer found Enchantment in fine condition.

Why should I withdraw him?

We found these in Coll's hideout.

They're .30-06s, powerful enough

to bring down a horse at 400 yards.

Do you really believe Coll would shoot Enchantment at the track?

I do.

Do you wanna tell her what you've learned, chief?

Miss Carten,

Fats Finney has bet $50,000 on Dream Prince

to win.

We know Fats Finney is associated with Coll.

Are you saying you want me to withdraw Enchantment?

That's a decision you're gonna have to make yourself.

I have to run him.

My father never won a Kentucky Derby.

Enchantment was his chance.

He's the best horse we've ever had.

Don't you see?

I have to run him.

I understand.

Thank you, Miss Carten.

I've got to get Coll.

Let's go over this again.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Friends?

Why not have them join us in my box?

Friends?

Not exactly.

Excuse me.

Hello, Ness.

I didn't know you was a horse fan.

Who do you like in the derby?

I hear somebody's been betting a lot of money on Dream Prince.

Yeah, I heard that. Do you think he's got a chance?

I don't know, I'm not an expert on horses, just dogs.

Mad dogs? And Dutchmen.

I think they both oughta be caged.

Come on.

( ominous theme playing)

( mellow theme playing)

Looks like Coll isn't going to show.

Maybe.

The race hasn't started yet.

ANNOUNCER (over PA): The horses are approaching the starting gate.

That cameraman's Coll. Come on.

ANNOUNCER: The horses are at the gate.

(bell rings) They're off.

At the break it's Royalty Line,

Song Man, Sun Britches, Jim Jam,

Tantalizing, Moonstrike, Brick Gold,

Flying Fox, Dream Prince,

Fun Time by two lengths,

Robin Hill and Enchantment.

Into the clubhouse turn,

it's Jim Jam going for the lead,

Royalty Line second, then Brick Gold,

Moonstrike, Tantalizing,

Sun Britches, Flying Fox,

Blue Day, Fun Time,

Dream Prince, Kismet and Enchantment.

At the half, it's still Jim Jam by a length,

Royalty Line, a length,

Moonstrike and Dream Prince,

Tantalizing and Enchantment.

It's now Jim Jam,

Royalty Line, Dream Prince by two,

Tantalizing and Enchantment on the outside.

Turning for home, it's Dream Prince a length,

Jim Jam second, Enchantment on the outside,

and Brick Gold and Tantalizing.

Into the stretch, it's Dream Prince a half,

Enchantment and Jim Jam.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

Dream Prince a neck, and Enchantment.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

At the finish, it's Dream Prince a neck.

Enchantment and Jim Jam third.

Dream Prince?

That's what the man said, Coll.

You outsmarted yourself.

You could've had your cake and eaten it too.

NARRATOR: Vincent Coll, admitted to bail on an extortion charge,

fled to New York, unaware that a price

had been put on his head,

not by the law but by the lawless.

Leaders of the underworld

offered $50,000 for his death.

Someone put in a claim for that money,

when, on February 7th, 1932,

in a telephone booth

on West 23rd Street, New York,

Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll died as he lived,

in a hail of machine-gun bullets.
