00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,300
and Bugsy Siegel
185
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,900
are rising in the ranks
of the New York underworld,
186
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
after proving themselves
as valuable recruits
187
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,200
to up-and-coming
gangster, Frank Costello.
188
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,200
Over the next few years,
189
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,700
they run successful rackets for Costello...
190
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Under Joe Masseria, a
ruthless criminal kingpin.
191
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,100
By 1919, the crew was nothing more
192
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,000
than a group of petty criminals,
193
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,000
making money through
small-time gambling rings
194
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,200
and protection shakedowns.
195
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:14,400
Seeing an opportunity
to strengthen their crew,
196
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,000
Frank Costello brings in a new soldier.

Guys, we
gotta move. We gotta move.
198

We gotta get 'em outta here.

204
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,800
- Hey, Frank.
- Vito.
205
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,000
I want you to meet my associate,
206
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,300
Charlie Luciano.
207

- Nice to meet ya.
- Likewise.
208
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,800
Vito's in the import-export business.
209
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:40,100

213

Vito Genovese was almost

215

226

With Vito Genovese on board,
227
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,100
they're ready to transform their crew
228
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,500
from low-level street thugs
into a legitimate gang.
229
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,500
Meyer Lansky is the money man.
230
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Bugsy Siegel is the suave charmer
231
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,500
with ruthless instincts.
232
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,400
Frank Costello has all the connections
233
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,100
and knows how to play the system.
234
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:53,500
And Luciano is a visionary
with relentless ambition.
235
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:00,800
They know all they need now
is the right opportunity.
236
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:06,800
On January 17th, 1920,
237
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:10,500
the government passes the 18th Amendment,
238
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:15,000
and prohibition goes into effect,
239
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:19,000
making the sale and
distribution of alcohol illegal.
240
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,900
The theory was,
241
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:25,100
prohibition would, uh,
decrease, uh, alcoholism,
242
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,000
and it would increase the morals
243
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,400
and the moral fiber of Americans.
244
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,900
The whole concept backfired.
245
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,800
Instead of cleaning up America,
246
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:40,000
prohibition plays into
the hands of the gangsters,
247
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:45,500
creating a billion-dollar
industry virtually overnight.
248
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,100
Prohibition was one of the best things
249
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:50,000
the government ever did for the Mob.
250
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,900
Because supply and demand,
251
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,200
and the demand was people wanted to drink
252
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,100
and there was no supply.
253
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,100
So, the gangsters made
a lot of money on it.
254
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,500
I want these payments
coming in every two weeks.
255
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,400
If a guy doesn't pay, kill him.
256
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:09,900
Come on. You're pissing me off.
257
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,500
Get outta here.
258
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:17,300
Joe Masseria has
been running gambling rackets,
259
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:19,100
but he changes his entire business plan
260
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,300
to take advantage of prohibition.
261
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:25,200
Masseria creates an underground network
262
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,500
of bootlegging distilleries in warehouses,
263
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:32,100
selling his own product
at a curbside liquor market
264
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,400
and secret drinking establishments
265
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,300
called "speakeasies."
266
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:37,900
In just months,
267
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,600
there are as many as 100,000
speakeasies in New York,
268
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,300
and thousands of them are
selling Masseria's liquor.
269
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,100
Prohibition probably reverses
Joe Masseria's fortunes
270
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,300
more than anybody else in the underworld.
271
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:54,400
He goes from being petty bootlegger,
272
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,200
to the king of the underworld.
273
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,100
Joe Masseria becomes Joe the boss.
274
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,600
Thanks to prohibition,
Masseria's empire expands,
275
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:06,200
and now covers half of Manhattan.
276
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:15,500
Take that over there.
277
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,100
Now, this guy's been short all week.
278
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,100
- Yeah, who is it?
- Send 'em to Vito.
279
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:20,900
No, I want you to have a boy talk to him.
280
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,400
Working with Costello,
281
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:26,300
Luciano and his crew are
bringing in money for Masseria.
282
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,400
But not enough to get noticed.
283
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,200
Meyer, come here.
284
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:34,000
Luciano begins to devise a plan.
285
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,600
One that he hopes will
get Masseria's attention.
286
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:37,700
Get things movin'. Get it movin', man.
287
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:40,500
I know, I know, I know. I understand.
288
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,600
The Mafia people, like Luciano,
289
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,500
were ambitious.
290
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,400
They were entrepreneurial.
291
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,200
They were not willing to
exist on the lowest level
292
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:50,500

293
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:54,000
They were opportunistic people.
294
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,500
The booze is comin' right through here,
295
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:58,100
right up the coast of New Jersey.
296
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:00,000
It's headin' to Philly.
297
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,500
It's gonna be good stuff.
298
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,700
Are we sure about that route?
299
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,300
We tracked it for a couple weeks.

00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:08,300
Yeah.

This is the big time, boys.
302
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,700
Luciano decides to
hijack a rival gang's truck,

filled with illegal booze,
and deliver it to Masseria.
304
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:19,700
If he can pull it off,
305
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,200
he'll have a chance to move
up in Masseria's organization
306
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:26,100

00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:47,000
He believed in makin' money,
543
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,800
and he didn't care on
what your nationality was
544
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,100
or the color of your skin.
545
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:52,500
He wanted to make money.
546
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,600
He was a businessman.
547
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:56,500
For Luciano,
548
00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:01,500
Rothstein is a role model
he can finally look up to.
549
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:05,900
The father he always wanted, but never had.
550
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:10,500
And Luciano's new mentor was teaching him
551
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,300
there's a smarter way to do business.
552
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,000
Rothstein begins to show Luciano
553
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:24,200
how to organize his criminal
rackets like a corporation.
554
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,500
How long do you keep these books?
555
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,100
You keep these books forever.
556
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,500
Teaching him to
dress like a businessman...
557
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:36,000
and to sell quality liquor
to maximize his profits.
558
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:43,500
Luciano is not exactly as
polished as Arnold Rothstein,
559
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,700
but he's willing to learn.
560
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,100
No, no, no, no, no.
561
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,500
Rothstein says, "make yourself into someone
562
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,800
"who can work not only the lower east side,
563
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,500
"the Upper East Side.
564
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,200
"Be a success."
565
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:02,700
Put these bottles in the back,
566
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,100
wherever you got 'em, all right, men?
567
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,500
- That's the good stuff, from Rothstein.
- Yeah, it's good.
568
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:07,500
It's good stuff, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, really good.
569
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,400
Working for Rothstein,
570
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,200
Luciano and his gang begin
organizing their operation...
571
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:17,300
and selling top shelf liquor
to high-end speakeasies
572
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:19,300
around Manhattan.
573
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:21,500
Pulling in more money than ever before.
574
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,400
Get outta here.
575
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,100
Give him a drink.
576
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,700
Look at this this guy.
577
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,000
There's just one problem.
578
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:38,300
They still have to give a
huge cut of their profits...
579
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,500
To Joe Masseria.
580
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,400
Charles Luciano
and his crew begin following
581
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,600
Arnold Rothstein's bootlegging advice
582
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,600
and making a fortune.
583
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,400
All this stuff, this
is the new stuff from Canada.
584
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,700
Arnold
Rothstein teaches 'em,
585
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:10,400
don't be like Joe Masseria.
586
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,900
Don't sell people rot gut.
587
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:14,700
There's more money in
selling to rich people
588
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:17,700
than to alcoholic poor people.
589
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,700
So, sell the good stuff.
590
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,000
There shouldn't be any
empty bottles in this area.
591
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,700
As soon as they come
in, they go in the back.
592
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:25,100
How are we doing this week, Charlie?
593
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:26,500
Brooklyn was very thirsty this week.
594
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:27,700
Oh, yeah?
595
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:28,700
- What's going on over here?
- All right, listen.
596
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,700
This is all the new stuff from, uh, Jersey.
597
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:32,600
There's all the scotch, okay?
598
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,000
But, despite their success,
599
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,700
they're still forced to give Joe Masseria
600
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:41,100
a large cut of everything they make.
601
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,500
Benny... Take that to Masseria.
602
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:53,700

603

Ten thousand from Brooklyn, Joe.
604
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,700
Masseria
wanted kickbacks from them.
605
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:13,200
He wanted as much as
$10,000 from each person
606
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,800
who worked for another gang.
607
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,800
And he saw this... That he deserved it
608
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:20,500
because he was so important and so vital
609
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,100
to Italian gangsters in New York City.
610
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,000
Masseria, he's sloppy. He's hotheaded.

Yeah, exactly.
