Original subtitles

What?

They got the shipment.

What?

They got the whole shipment.

I want him dead. I don't care how.

We're trying--

Am I alone here?

Did I ask what you're trying to do?

I want you to get this fuck where he breathes.

I want find him. I want him dead.

I want his family dead!

I want his house burnt to the ground!

I want to piss on his ashes!

Look at this guy.

This guy-- he's so serious.

Well, he's got a lot on his mind.

He does?

Yes.

Like what?

Like what his name is.

Well--John.

I thought that was all settled.

It's John.

I suppose his middle name will be Law.

No.

It'll be Edgar.

It'll be J. Edgar.

I don't think so.

God, you're beautiful.

You should have seen us last night.

I know.

I should have been here. I wanted to be.

I understand. I do.

Just tell me, are you being careful?

Careful as mice.

Are you making progress?

Progress?

Yes.

Mrs. Ness, I think your husband

just became the man who got AI Capone.

Gentlemen, a subpoena was issued

for Alphonse Capone by my office this morning

for the crime of evading

and conspiring to evade federal income tax.

What's the maximum Capone could get?

If convicted on all counts,

Mr. Capone could have up to 28 years.

Excuse me. That's all.

Thank you.

O.K., here we go.

The car's in the alley.

You don't answer the phone.

We'll let it ring--

Twice.

From--

The corner.

Anybody knocks--

Come out shooting. I got it.

You enjoy the tactical aspects of law enforcement?

Yeah. It's much more diverting than accounting.

I been good to you. You got to be good to me.

We made a deal. We'll stick to it, O.K.?

Oh, yes. Much more diverting than accounting.

O.K. We see youse tonight.

Yeah. O.K.

All right. All the way down. No stops.

When he sees error...

when he sees crime...

he can say I will speak up.

Before you go, I got one more question.

I must commend the excellent work

of Eliot Ness and his squad of untouchables.

What was it, boy or girl?

Boy.

What's his name?

John.

John?

Yeah.

John James.

So she's O.K.?

Yeah, she's O.K.

She said she wants to repaint the whole house.

Then it will be too small. You'll have to move.

Exactly.

Oh, goodness.

It's nice to be married.

If you can stand the pain.

Mr. Burns, where's Mr. Wallace?

Didn't you see them? They just went down the service elevator.

Very good.

Keep an eye out, you hear?

I'm telling you they're going to send someone.

Did he say the service elevator?

Yes.

Wallace?

Wallace!

Let's take the stairs.

Oh.

No.

No.

Easy.

Easy!

Oscar.

Lord Jesus.

You going to be all right?

Mr. Ness.

Ah.

It's always a crime

when a young guy goes down on the lines.

I'd hate to see it happen to someone I know.

Sometimes it's better not to get involved.

Jimmy.

Take a day off.

Leave the city for a while.

You know what I mean?

AI Capone.

We have no Mr.--

Get him.

We have no--

I said, goddamn it,

I said--

Something you want here?

My friend was killed today.

I don't care.

You don't care.

Now he does.

Come on, Capone.

You want to fight?

You and me, right here.

That's it. Come on!

What's the matter, you afraid to stand up for yourself?

You want it now?

Let's go.

You son of a bitch.

What?

You talk to me like that in front of my son? Fuck you!

Eliot! It's me.

It's me.

Not this way.

Not this way.

You fuck. You got nothing. A lot of talk and a badge.

You hear? You got nothing.

Nothing in court, no bookkeeper.

You got nothing!

Nothing!

If you were a man, you'd have done it.

You punk!

No, l-- No, I understand.

Believe me... I understand.

Well, what's happened?

He says he can't be unprotected.

What is it that the guy says?

He says he won't make a fool out of himself.

He won't go into court without a witness.

Tomorrow the D.A.'s going to announce

that he's dropping the case.

He's going to give up?

I didn't say that.

He's got no witness.

We have Wallace's files--

There's a time when you have to cut your losses.

Hello.

Hello.

Yes.

No, he--he didn't have a family.

How is everything there?

N-no, y-no, you do it how ever you want.

I--I promise I will.

You give her my love.

I love you, too.

Mr. Ness,

we got a ledger here

Listing payments to Chicago city officials.

There's AI Capone, Frank Nitti--

I think that's enough for today.

I know, but--

That will do. Thank you.

I'd like to request to stick around.

We got to bust these guys.

I know.

Is that it?

I'm sorry?

You heard me.

My question is,

are we done?

Yes, I think we're done.

You're saying we sat in at a game

that was above our heads.

It appears so. Mr. Wallace would agree.

He's dead!

And the D.A.'s dropping the case.

He won't go into court without a witness

nor without Capone's bookkeeper Walter Payne.

What will you do now?

What would you have me do?

I've taken this as far as it can go.

What did your wife want?

She wanted to know if I was--

My wife?

Yeah.

Uh, she wanted to know if I was all right.

It's nice being married, eh?

Yes.

She's sitting in some room

surrounded by people she doesn't know

going over...

kitchen color charts or something.

Some part of the world...

still cares what color the kitchen is.

Eliot.

Do one more thing for me.

Get back to the D.A. And stall him.

Wait a minute. Stall him with what?

Just do as I say.

I think I know how to find this guy.

Walter.

AI says we're leaving town

until he can fix this subpoena thing.

We're leaving tonight.

2-ball down.

Mike, you got a minute?

Well, I do now, don't l?

What are you doing

This is a place for cops.

Can we step outside?

All right. All right.

But I got nothing to say to you.

Where the hell are we going, for a swim?

Get out of the rain, fool.

What?

What?

I just need one more piece of information.

One more?

I need--

Jimmy, I just risked my life for you.

I need to find that bookkeeper.

Are you crazy? You're crazy.

I warned you to leave town.

If they knew it was me, I'm dead.

I need to find that bookkeeper.

You're fucking out of your mind.

You're out of it!

And I tried to save your life.

Get your hands off.

You owe me, Jimmy. I don't owe you nothing.

My people are being killed.

We're your people!

You're my people?

You run with the dagos.

He's ruined this town.

For 1 0 years I can't eat my food with the shit that's going on.

Now say I'm a cop.

Oh, bullshit!

Fucking bullshit!

Look at yourself. Look at yourself.

Ah, go on and live the charade...

with your soft clothes and federal stooges.

What the hell do you think he's going to do?

Clean up this town?

Where is this guy?

I need to know now,

or I'll rat you out for all the shit that you've done.

I'm going to turn you over.

This is a dead man talking to me.

Is it?

You're dead.

Who do you think you are?

You'll hang from the flagpole.

Let's cut the wolfing.

Tell me, or you're going to the hospital or the morgue.

You fight this thing,

and we'll have a case.

Yes, but on what basis?

I'm not going to make a fool--

Don't tell me about being foolish.

I have men risking something more than that.

We're following a lead

at risk to more than our standing.

So don't dare stop now.

Yeah, Stone.

Ness.

He's at the D.A.'s.

Tell him I know where Payne is

and to meet me at my place.

Al! Hey, Al!

Al!

Say, what about that court date?

I'm going to tell you something.

Somebody messes with me,

I'm going to mess with him.

Somebody steals from me,

I'm going to say you stole,

not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk.

not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk.

You understand?

Now, I have done nothing to hurt these people,

but they're angered at me,

so what do they do?

Doctor up some income tax,

for which they got no case, to annoy me.

To speak to me like men? No.

To harass a peaceful man.

I pray to God that if I had a grievance,

I would have a little more self-respect.

Mr. Capone, just one more question.

One more thing--

You wait till a prize fight is over.

One guy's left standing.

That's how you know who won.

Huh.

Isn't that just like a wop?

Brings a knife to a gunfight.

Get out of here, you dago bastard!

Go on! Get your ass out of here!

Shots.

All right.

Stay back. Everybody stay back.

Take the back.

Malone!

Malone.

Goddamn! Stone!

- Stone! - Ah!

Call!

Oh, God.

Call an ambulance!

Stone, Treasury Department.

1 634 Racine. I need an ambulance.

What?

1 634 Racine!

What, this?

You want this?

You want this?

You want this?

The bookkeeper.

The what?

Book--

The bookkeeper?

Bookkeeper.

Bookkeeper? What?

The bookkeeper, he's on this train?

Yes.

He's on this train?

What--What are you prepared to do?

Don't--Don't die.

Stay.

Stay.

Stay.

Aw, no.

No, no!

Not this man.

Not this man.

The train's leaving for Miami 1 2:05, Mr. Ness.

We'll be there.

The bookkeeper's no good to us dead.

Stone?

Yes, sir.

Cover the south entrance.

We're almost home.

We're almost home.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Miami, Florida, departing 12.:05, track33.

All aboard.

Stay right there, O.K.?

Just stay right there.

Shh. Stay right there.

Stay right there, honey.

All aboard.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Shh.

We're almost home.

May I have your attention, please?

Miami, Florida, leaving at 12.:05,

A//aboard.

Oh, one more. Here we go.

Mama's going to pull. You ready?

I'm right here, honey.

Here we go.

Your attention, please.

May I have your attention, please?

This is the final call for Miami, Florida,

Leaving at 12.:05 from track33.

All aboard.

Here we go.

Here. Let me help.

Thank you so much.

Get your bags.

Thank you, sir.

Are you all right?

Thank you.

You're such a gentleman.

It's kind of you to help me.

I really wasn't sure if we'd make it or not.

Is there some problem I can help you with?

No.

No.

I really can't thank you enough.

Isn't this fun?

Oh, you're being such a good boy, sweetheart.

Thank you again.

This is so wonderful.

Oh, thank you, sir.

I'll take him from here.

You've been a great help.

Thank you so much.

Almost there.

I'll take it from here.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, don't cry, sweetheart.

We're almost home.

Is something wrong?

Sir?

Come on. Let's get out of here.

What are you doing?

Shut up!

I said shut up!

- What are you doing? - Shut the fuck up!

Hold it!

Hold it.

My baby!

Stay there. He's O.K.

Shut up!

I said hold it!

What the--

See, I'm walking out with the bookkeeper.

And the bookkeeper and me are driving away.

Or else he dies.

He dies.

And you ain't got nothing.

You got five seconds to make up your mind.

I'll tell you what you want to know.

Shut up! I'm not kidding, Ness!

I'll tell you what you want to know!

You got him?

Yeah, I got him.

1 !

Will you stop it?

Take him.

2.

The two coded entries in this ledger

represent cash disbursement

to all levels of city officials,

members of the police,

and to Alphonse Capone.

That's correct.

Excuse me?

I said that is correct.

And you will decipher these coded entries for us.

I will.

Sorry, Mr. Payne. I can't hear you.

I said I will.

You were in charge of disbursements for Mr. Capone?

Yes, I was.

And you personally distributed monies--

vast, undeclared monies--

to Mr. Capone?

Yes, I did.

Would you tell us the amounts?

In a three-year period,

I personally disbursed monies to Mr. Capone

in excess of $1 .3 million.

Would you repeat that amount, please?

$1 .3 million.

Thank you very much.

I don't understand it.

What does Capone have?

We're nailing the lid on his coffin, and he's smiling.

He's wearing a gun in court.

Get me the bailiff.

It'll be a fast trial.

The man in the front row wearing the white suit

is carrying a gun.

I don't want this to turn into something.

When you get him up, I'll lead you out.

Could we speak to you a minute, please?

Get up against it.

Who the hell are you?

You heard him. Up against it.

What's this?

Empty all your pockets. On the table. All of it.

I got a permit for that.

Fine. Let's see it.

You know, I'm not the one under indictment.

Everything on the table.

Give him his gun back.

"To whom it may concern--

"Please extend to the bearer, Mr. Frank Nitti,

"all possible courtesy and consideration.

William Thompson, mayor of the city of Chicago."

I'm sorry, Mr. Ness.

You'll have to give it back.

Fine.

But that man does not go back into that courtroom.

Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

1 634 Racine.

You know, I used to have a friend who lived there.

Don't.

Let him go.

No!

Here. Take it.

Aah!

Here I am, Treasury man.

Come on.

Arrest me.

What are you waiting for?

Don't just stand there. Arrest me.

Don't push me.

They're going to burn you.

Yeah?

I'll come see you burn, you son of a bitch,

'cause you killed my friend.

He died like a pig.

What did you say?

I said your friend died screaming

Like a stuck Irish pig.

You think about that when I beat the rap.

Hey.

Aah!

Aah!

Did he sound anything like that?

One picture. Come on. One picture.

Mr. Ness, take a look at this.

Mr. Ness.

Mr. Ness, you doing O.K.?

I think you better see this.

What is it?

What is it? That's a jury list, Mr. Ness.

They've been bribed.

Got it out of Nitti's coat.

Where is Nitti?

He's in the car.

This constitutes no evidence.

It has no providence.

Your Honor, the truth of the case

is that Capone is a killer and will go free.

The only way to deal with such men

is hunt them down.

I have forsworn myself.

I have broken every law I swore to defend.

I'm content I've done right.

That man must be stopped, and you must--

I'll be the judge

of what I must do, Mr. Ness.

Would you excuse us?

Bailiff.

Yes, sir?

Bailiff, go next door to Judge Hoffman's court.

They've just begun hearing a divorce action.

I want you to bring that jury in here

and take this jury to his court.

Bailiff, are those instructions clear?

Yes, sir. They're clear.

Bailiff, I want you to switch the juries.

Your Honor, I object.

Overruled.

What did you tell him?

I told him his name was in the ledger, too.

His name wasn't in the ledger.

Wait. What is this? Is this the law?

You're out of order.

I think that we--

I don't care what you think.

What do I look like? Do something.

Order!

Your Honor,

we'd like to withdraw our plea of not guilty

and enter a plea of guilty.

Guilty?

Order in the court!

Order!

Guilty?

I'll give you guilty.

Bailiff!

Bailiff, clear the courtroom!

Your Honor. Your Honor, is that justice?

Why did he switch the jury?

Are you going to continue going after the organization?

Excuse me.

I'm asking Your Honor, is this justice?

What about justice?

Is this justice?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Never stop. Never stop fighting till the fight is done.

What did you say?

Never stop fighting till the fight is done.

What?

You heard me, Capone.

You're nothing but talk and a badge.

Here endeth the lesson.

You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!

You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!

So much violence.

Cleaning up a little.

I guess it's goodbye.

Goodbye, George.

I want to, uh, thank you for this.

No. Thank you.

Mr. Ness...

I think he wanted you to have that.

He'd have wanted a cop to have it.

I'm going home.

Mr. Ness, any comment for the record?

The man who put AI Capone on the spot.

when the wheel went round.

They say they're going to repeal prohibition.

What will you do then?

I think I'll have a drink.
