ANTHONY GIOLITO: Shit, Levin.

I remember when one of
those used to break ya.

Why don't you try three?

[CACKLES]

GIOLITO: Mama didn't raise no fools.

See, what you don't understand, Anthony,

is that I come from a long
line of Third Ward roughnecks.

Jews? Come on, Herman. No fucking way!

You're talking to a Sicilian here,
for Christ's sakes.

Yeah, what were your people doing

when mine were building the pyramids?

Stealin' chickens in Palermo.

RADIO ANNOUNCER: We leave
this broadcast of Let's Dance

with Harry James and His Orchestra

to bring you a special bulletin

from Detroit, Michigan,
where a political rally

featuring Democratic
presidential candidate

Walter Winchell,
has resulted in rioting and injuries.

With Winchell himself attacked
and beaten by demonstrators,

according to reporters at the scene.

The former reporter
and radio personality

was rushed by ambulance
to Providence Hospital.

Detroit police officials say
the disturbances are contained

within the area of the
candidate's campaign rally...

They beat him down.

Like he wasn't askin' for it.

Come on, Monty.

- RADIO ANNOUNCER: We now return to...
- Fascist animals.

GIOLITO: I'll tell you one thing.

That Winchell's got balls on him.
He don't quit.

Everywhere he goes,
they're waitin' for him.

In Boston,
they tried to set him on fire.

You're gonna take
truck number four tonight.

You're gonna drive all
the way up past Newburgh

and make pickups at
three separate farms.

Fucking hell.

[NERVOUS CHUCKLE]

- Billy Murphy.
- Alvin.

How the hell d'you find me?

- BILLY MURPHY: I asked around.
- Oh yeah? Asked who?

What the hell you doin' in Philadelphia?

Ah, listen, sweetie.

This is a buddy from my old unit.

You know... You know, from the war.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, absolutely,

so seeing as he's come
all the way to find me,

how 'bout we just pick this up tomorrow?

Just like that?

I told you. This is a friend.

[ALVIN SCOFFS]

Now, who the fuck told
you how to find me, Billy?

And why?

RADIO ANNOUNCER 2:
... violence at the political rally

and then spreading to
predominantly Jewish sanctions

of Detroit, where shops were looted

and windows shattered by rioting mobs.

At least three Jewish synagogues
are said to be afire,

and several hundred of the
city's Jewish residents

have crossed the bridge
into Windsor, Canada,

seeking refuge there,
according to authorities.

This just in to our Columbia
Broadcasting news bureau:

anti-Jewish disturbances
are now being reported

by authorities in both
Cleveland and Indianapolis.

And in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
state police have requested...

HERMAN LEVIN: All right, come on.
We gotta go.

We gotta finish loading up.

FARMHAND: You're contracted for these.

I'm going home now.

We'll be back.

- When?
- MAN: Where's everyone going?

RADIO ANNOUNCER 2:
... where a group of young men

clashed with members leaving an event.

In the street fight that
lasted nearly an hour...

MURPHY: You know, they told
me to find you, and they, uh...

They told me why.

I told them to forget it.

I won't lie to you, Alvin.

I told them I didn't
think you were up to it.

I told them how you folded up in Norway.

- How you broke.
- Yeah, I fucked up.

I couldn't take that screaming Kraut.
I know.

Yeah, Hairston and Riggs got shot

trying to get you out of there.

Hairston bought it.

Riggs... still shittin' in a bag.

You didn't know.

No, I was... I was out of my head. I...

Yeah.

[SCOFFS]

Yeah... Well...

Maybe I wasn't cut out for soldiering.

Not that kind of soldierin' anyway.

MURPHY: Maybe not.

Come on.

Huh? What?

[GRUNTS] Fuck.

[GRUNTING]

So, where do we go?

They're gonna give you one last chance.

[CHUCKLES] To do what?

Lose another limb?

You low son of a bitch.

My job is done here.

They think you can still matter.

See ya around.

I thought you were FBI.

Oh, heavens no.

Do you really think I'd
dress as badly as all that?

I'm glad we found you, Corporal Levin.

RADIO ANNOUNCER 3: ... took place
outside a Jewish house of worship

earlier this evening.

Authorities in Baltimore
are also investigating

the burning of a Jewish
Religious Academy,

believed to be tied to
the communist front.

Several boys, as young as ten years old,

are being transported to
Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Meanwhile, Buffalo police believe
that last night's explosion

injuring 70 people at a Polish...

What's with you guys?

RADIO ANNOUNCER 3: ... was due to
a gas leak in the basement...

Keepin' an eye on things.

- You with Longy?
- Yeah.

RADIO ANNOUNCER 3:
... communist bomb factory

are proliferating amid continuing

- denial from officials...
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Go ahead, take the truck.

- GIOLITO: You sure?
- HERMAN: Yeah.

[ENGINE REVS]

RADIO ANNOUNCER 4: The Alipore,
carrying chrome ore and olive oil,

was torpedoed by a German U-boat...

Who are they?

[ANNOUNCER CONTINUES
SPEAKING OVER RADIO]

Dukie Glick...

and some other knucklehead
I don't recognize.

Who is Dukie Glick?

He's Billy Glick's kid brother.

I know Billy from the Third Ward.

Absolute morons, both of them.

They work for Longy Zwillman.

- Longy Zwillman, the gangster?
- Yeah.

He put his guys out on the streets

in Jewish neighborhoods...

in case any of the
rioting spreads to Newark.

- They're there to protect us?
- [RADIO SWITCHES OFF]

HERMAN: Yeah, they think so anyway.

Can't believe how fast it's
spread to other cities.

The hate is there.

Just like dry leaves waiting on a spark.

Well...

Like or not, Lindbergh is teaching us

what it means to be Jews.

We only think we're Americans.

No...

They think we only
think we're Americans.

They think with...

one more push, one more shove...

that we'll break...

and run to Canada...

or let them dump us in
Kentucky or wherever.

But it's not up for discussion, Bess.

They can call us "others."

They're the others.

Lindbergh is the other.

The man is unfit.

He should not be the president.

It's as simple as that.

Which is why a forceful statement

from your husband right now
would be of such benefit

to my people. It would, in effect,

distance American Jews
from Winchell's rhetoric

and hold us harmless to his offenses.

I take your point.

Clearly, the violence being
directed in Detroit

and elsewhere is no way
condoned by this administration.

A strong public statement right now.

I will take this up with the president.

I assure you both.

Mrs. Bengelsdorf,

we must have that lunch
once things calm down,

perhaps after the
Congressional elections.

That would be lovely.

Rabbi.

Thank you for your candor.

In these days,
with everything so fraught

for the Jewish community,

I have come to greatly value
your honesty and insight.

[PHONE RINGING]

[WOMAN ANSWERING PHONE IN BACKGROUND]

And in fact...

to the extent I can rely on
you to serve as my spokesperson

in these matters, I would be relieved.

Of course.

- [CAR HONKS]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Why the fuck did I have to come
all the way out here to meet you?

BRITISH AGENT: We wanted
to see if you were followed.

ALVIN: No one follows
anyone north of Girard Ave,

for Christ's Sakes.

So, who is everybody?

We have names you don't need to know.

I'm askin'. Is everybody British?

- Or Canadian.
- Or not.

You think you're only
mug who can't stand

to see this country go to hell, Levin?

It went to hell. It's there.

Well, the question seems to be

whether you're still
willing to act on that.

What good will it do?

Even if you pull it off,
you still end up with Wheeler.

He's no better than Lindbergh.
He might even be worse.

Wheeler can be beaten in '44.

Lindbergh and that
little airplane of his

flying from airport to airport talkin'
peace and prosperity,

- no chance.
- But why me?

You have a certain skill set,
as I told you.

Me and a thousand other guys.

The border's closed to us.

It's porous. You can
see I'm here after all.

But every additional man we try
to bring in adds to the risk.

And as you will note,
there are still enough

of your countrymen who understand enough

about fascism to take this on.

I was in the War Department.
Roosevelt's War Department.

Logistics. G4. Just a paper pusher

trying like hell to get guns and ships

and planes to England
where they might matter.

Now, I have a pension.

ALVIN: Good for you.

Then again, Levin, you have an empire

in pinball and slot machines.

The world and its problems must seem

so unimportant at this point.

MAN: Mouthy fellow
didn't get three words out.

Where did it happen?

Kentucky. Louisville, I think.

Blew the back of his head off.

What happened?

MAN: Winchell. They shot him.

He's dead?

Shot?

WOMAN: The way he kept goin' at Lindy,

it was only a matter of time.

MAN: And I heard the
campaign was all for show,

just to revive his radio career.

I mean, a man has
a right to make a living,

but no one asked Winchell to
be the spokesperson for lotion,

- let alone...
- [ELEVATOR BELL RINGS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Sandy? Philip?

- Walter Winchell, he...
- I heard. Where's your brother?

- I don't know.
- Get me the map.

Get the map of the United States.

Find Kentucky.
Find the city of Danville for me.

- WOMAN: [OVER PHONE] Operator.
- Operator, I want to make

a long distance person-to-person call.

- OPERATOR: City?
- To Danville, Kentucky.

To Mrs. Selma Wishnow. And operator,

when my three minutes are up,
don't forget to tell me.

OPERATOR: Yes, ma'am. Please hold.

Kentucky. Find Danville. It's ringing.

- Right there. Danville.
- SELDON WISHNOW: Hello.

This is long distance.
I have a person-to-person call

- for Mrs. Selma Wistful.
- You want to measure how far between...

- Look on the key, down here.
- OPERATOR: Is Mrs. Wistful available?

No, Wishnow. Selma Wishnow.

SELDON: Who's that talking?

OPERATOR: Young lady,
is your mother home?

SELDON: I'm a boy.

Operator, I will speak with anyone.

Please, put me through.

- OPERATOR: Good ahead, sir.
- SELDON: Who is this?

- Seldon, this is Mrs. Levin.
- Mrs. Levin!

- Yes.
- You're in Newark, Mrs. Levin?

I'm calling to speak with your mother,
is she there?

I'm waiting for her to
come home from work.

- Philip.
- She has to work late sometimes.

I just sit here.

Sometimes, I have a snack
and then she comes home.

Miss Adams, I can't emphasize
enough the urgency involved.

Now that this has
happened in Louisville,

the need to reassure
the Jewish community

throughout this country, it's paramount.

Thank you.

Yes, I will...

wait on the First Lady's
call in the morning.

Thank you again.

She must talk to the president.

SELDON: So, you're on Summit Avenue?

- I told you we were, yes.
- It's really clear, isn't it?

It sounds like you're
just down the block.

- I wish you could come over
- Philip.

and have a snack with me.

- Tell Seldon you miss him.
- I don't have any friends at school...

- Just tell him.
- and I have no one to play chess with.

I've been practicing my opening move.

- You remember my opening move?
- Seldon.

SELDON: Yes?

- I miss you.
- I miss you too.

I wish you were here.

Seldon, this is Mrs. Levin again.

I need you to write something down.
Can you do that?

Okay.

I want you to write down
that Mrs. Levin called

because of what happened in Louisville,

- to see if things are okay.
- What happened in Louisville?

Seldon, just eat your snack
and tell your mother

- that I called, okay?
- I've had enough Fig Newtons.

All right. Seldon,

but you'll remember to give
her the note that I called.

If you eat too many, you feel sick.

[SNAPPISH] Seldon.
This is a very expensive phone call,

and I am going to have to hang up now.

But I need you to promise me
that you are going to give

your mother the note that I called

and tell her to call me back.

I promise.

Okay, thank you. Goodbye.

Mrs. Levin. Is Philip going to visit me?

It's my birthday next week and
I don't have any friends here.

- Your three minutes are up, ma'am.
- Seldon.

BESS: This is a hard time for everyone.

But...

Just tell your mother
that I called and good...

Goodbye, okay. Goodbye.

- SELDON: Goodbye.

nine other US cities...

as predominantly Jewish
neighborhoods have been targeted.

Synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses

and 46 deaths are blamed on

how you gon' protect, huh?

RADIO ANNOUNCER 4: Interrupting with
a special bulletin of an announcement

by New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia,

that by his order,
and under the protection

of the New York City Police Department,

the body of slain radio personality

and presidential
candidate Walter Winchell

will be taken overnight
by train from Louisville

to Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan,

and will then lie in state at
the great hall of the train station

throughout the morning.

Then, a funeral will be held at
the city's largest synagogue,

Temple Emanu-El.

Announced speakers at
the service will include

the former President
of the United States,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

New York City Major,
Fiorello La Guardia...

[SIREN WAILING]

- [SCRIBBLING]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Sandy.

Are you sure?

It'll be safe. Trust me.

Forgive me, but I trust La Guardia.

[FIORELLO LA GUARDIA SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER PA]

We're not going to the funeral?

HERMAN: We tried, but...

God, this crowd.

'Scuse me. Let's see if
we can get a little closer.

Philip, come on. Come on.

FIORELLO LA GUARDIA:
Walter lacked every gleaming virtue

demonstrated daily by the
incorruptible test pilot...

I think this is about as
close as we're gonna get.

But there are several more differences

between the fallible
Walter and infallible Lindy.

Our president is a fascist sympathizer.

That's Mayor La Guardia.
They call him the "Little Flower."

Walter Winchell was the
enemy of the fascist.

Our president is no lover of Jews,

and more than likely,
a dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semite,

while Winchell was a Jew

and the unwavering enemy
of the anti-Semite.

And for speaking his mind
in the state of Kentucky,

Walter Winchell was
assassinated by fascists,

who, thanks to the silence

of our strong, silent,
selfless president,

today, run rampant
through this great land.

It can't happen here?

No, it is happening here.

- [MAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
- And where, I ask you, is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

CROWD: [CHANTING] Where is Lindbergh?
Where is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

[CHANTING CONTINUES]

Where is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

Where is Lindbergh?

[CHANTING CONTINUES]

[CLEARS THROAT] With, uh...

regards to the question
asked so cynically

by New York's Mayor La Guardia,

I have here a prepared statement

by First Lady Anne Marrow Lindbergh

that she wishes for
me to read at this time.

"Fellow Americans,
concerned at the civil disturbances

that followed Mr. Winchell's
speaking engagements,

and further grieved

that the violence
spurred by those events

has claimed the life of
Mr. Winchell himself,

my husband, early this morning,

took off from Long
Island's Roosevelt Field

to fly to the municipal
airport in Louisville,

the scene of this tragedy,
to directly address the nation,

and to do all that he can

to bring those disturbances to an end."

And may I only add, that as a rabbi

and a representative
of the Jewish faith...

I have every confidence
that this president

will do all within his power
to prevent any further harm

from coming to the citizenry.

Thank you.

REPORTER: Rabbi, is there any
statement yet from the president?

[REPORTERS CLAMOR]

- BENGELSDORF: Who's that?

- EVELYN: Wait, wait. It's my nephew.
- BENGELSDORF: Oh.

Sandy.

Why is this happening?

I... I can't answer that question.

I thought that Lindbergh
would be good for everyone,

for the Jews, for everybody...

The riots are not because of Lindbergh.

If anything,
this was Winchell provoking people.

SANDY: And they killed Winchell.

As wrong as that was,
wasn't it enough for them?

Do they have to smash
windows and kill Jews

who aren't Winchell, who don't
have anything to do with Winchell?

Sandy, Lindbergh flew out there today

to make them stop the riots.

He had nothing to do with
Winchell being killed.

He wouldn't want that.

I believe he is a good man.

Evelyn, Sandy, the president is
on the radio from Louisville.

LOUISVILLE MAYOR:
... Louisville and all of America.

We are grateful for your attention

to this traumatic moment in our city.

CHARLES LINDBERGH: Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

And thank all of you for coming out

to the airfield today to greet me.

Well, to answer a question
that was asked, here I am.

And I just would like to make
the following very clear:

our country is at peace.

Our people are at work.

Our children are at school.

I flew down here to remind each
and every one of you of this,

and now, I'm going back to Washington,

so as to keep things that way.

Thank you.

Is... Is there a clock near you, Seldon?

Yes, I see a clock on the wall.

It should say that it is ten
minutes after ten o'clock,

and I will call you back
at 10:30, Seldon.

If your mother comes home before then,

she should call me.

But if she doesn't,

I'm going to call you
back at 10:30. Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Bye for now, Seldon. Bye for now.

[CLAMORING]

Again, again,
the First Lady is counseling

all of our countrymen to ignore

all unverifiable hypotheses

about her husband's disappearance

emanating from foreign capitals.

- [CLAMORING INTENSIFIES]
- And she reminds the public that

in 1926 as an airmail pilot,

the president twice survived crashes

that demolished his aircraft.

- [REPORTERS CLAMOR]
- And in this moment,

the First Lady remains unconvinced

by the evidence of any conspiracy,

Jewish or otherwise,
presented by the vice president

in his justification for martial law.

Why can't the First Lady
speak for herself, rabbi?

- [REPORTERS CLAMOR]
- REPORTER: Any truth to rumors

Mrs. Lindbergh is too distraught
to make her own decisions

and you are the one acting for her?

The First Lady is wholly
competent intellectually

and in complete possession
of all her faculties,

And despite the
magnitude of this situation,

neither her reason

nor her judgment is in any way impaired.

Is the First Lady even talking

- to the vice president?
- Excuse me.

[REPORTERS CLAMOR]

PATROLMAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold it right there.

SELDON: My mother's dead, Mrs. Levin.

I know my mother is dead.

My father is dead,
and now my mother, too.

No, Seldon, you don't know that.

We don't know anything.

She would've called me. She would've.

She never doesn't call.

Sandy. How far from the
Mawhinney farm is Danville?

Twenty minutes.

TOMMY: I come up when I hear the shot.

HERMAN: Thank you.

TOMMY: Yeah, sure.

They say there's a
grocery burned and looted

over in Union City.

Who got shot?

It's Longy Zwillman's guys.

At least two that I saw.

Dead on the ground.

Listen to me, Seldon. It's late,

and what I need you to do tonight

is get into your pajamas,
brush your teeth,

and put yourself to bed.

But I promise you,

someone will be coming to help you.

Either tonight, or if you fall asleep,

when you wake in the morning.

[WHISPERING] Hey. How are you?

BESS: Someone will be there to help you.

Either your mother will be there

or someone to help
you get to your mother.

I promise.

- [SELDON SOBS]
- Seldon, do you understand?

- [SIREN WAILING]
- SELDON: Yes.

I promise you, Seldon,
someone will be coming to you.

Now, can you go to bed by yourself?

- SELDON: Yes.
- Okay.

- [SELDON WHIMPERS]
- If you need me, just call.

I'll be right here all night.

But someone is coming.

Okay.

- Good night, Seldon.
- [SELDON SOBS]

I'll talk to you in the morning,
I promise. Good night.

SELDON: Good night.

You were right, Bess.

Shepsie was right.

We should be in Canada now.

I can't live here any longer

not knowing what will happen tomorrow.

You were right, Bess.

We need to go.

They've closed the borders.

Martial law, they wanna war with Canada.

There has got to be a way to get out.

We have to get out.

- Now.
- We can't.

Selma is gone.

[WHISPERS] I think she's dead.

Bess.

We need to go.

Seldon is our responsibility.

Even if he wasn't, he is now.
But he is our responsibility.

[WHISPERING] Danville
was no coincidence.

Sanford, I don't like
you going with him.

But you know the Mawhinney's,
and you know these places,

and your father will need help

with Seldon on the long trip home.

I am relying on you.

TOMMY: Hey, paisan.

HERMAN: Fascists did it?

Polizia. The cops.

The police killed him?

Yeah, to say to Longy,

"You no put your gun on the street,
only we can.

We the big gang here, not you."

Hey, Tommy, wait.

No.

You.

RADIO ANNOUNCER 6:
Secretary of the Interior Henry Ford,

this evening, remarked to reporters
that it was his belief

that Mrs. Lindbergh was under
the sway of what he called

"a Jewish Rasputin," a reference
to the Russian peasant monk

said to held sway over the minds
of the Russian czar and his wife

in the years before the
Bolshevik Revolution.

Secretary Ford called the presence

of Rabbi Bengelsdorf
around the First Lady...

- My God...
-... a, quote, "prime example

of undue Jewish influence

in our public affairs at
a time of national..."

- [SIREN WAILING]
- HERMAN: Pittsburgh is burning.

They're turning us away from the bridge.

Looks like they're keeping
us on this side of the river.

What do you think?

Route 28 will work.
We'll turn at Millville,

stay north of Pittsburgh,
and cross after.

Okay.

GUARD 1: Keep it moving, keep it moving.
All traffic this way.

Head east please. Head east.

AGENT: Get up, rabbi. Get dressed.

Lionel Bengelsdorf,
you're being detained

by the Department of Justice on
suspicion of being a ringleader

of a plot against the government
of the United States.

- My God.
- This is ridiculous.

Get dressed or you're
going in your pajamas, rabbi.

I demand to speak to the First Lady.

I'll bet you do.

But Mrs. Lindbergh is at Walter Reed,

having suffered a severe breakdown.

She's in no condition
to speak to anyone.

You gonna dress?

I will.

We'll wait outside. Five minutes.

FBI AGENT: We'll be right out here.

Evelyn, m... my... my glasses.

I want a warrant for the car.

[CHUCKLES]

This microphone here?

ENGINEER: Yes, ma'am.
Just say a few things

so I can set a level.

Hello, my fellow Americans.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYS]

ENGINEER: That's fine, Mrs. Lindbergh.

My fellow Americans:

this is Anne Marrow Lindbergh,
addressing you live

from a radio station near
our nation's capital.

I understand that some of
our broadcasting networks

have been alerted to these remarks,

and so, you are hearing
my words as I speak them.

I'm speaking today because
some of your countrymen,

who are loyal to my husband's
administration, helped obtain

my release from the US
Army's Walter Reed Hospital,

where I was unlawfully detained

on orders of the acting president.

- _
- I'm grateful for that loyalty.

Not only to myself and my husband,

but to our government of laws.

My fellow Americans, my countrymen,

unlawfulness...

on the part of America's
law enforcement agencies

cannot and will not
be allowed to prevail.

In my husband's name,

I ask that no further violence
be visited upon Americans,

regardless of their race,
religion, or national origin,

and that the men and women
of this great country

do all we can to make
amends for the wounds done

to innocent people

in these past days and
weeks of civil unrest.

I ask the FBI to release
all of those arrested

on charges of conspiring
to harm my husband

and to restore their
full rights as citizens.

There is not a shred of evidence

that a single detainee is
in any way responsible

for whatever befell my
husband and his plane.

I ask all National Guard
units to disarm and disband

and for our guardsmen to
return to civilian life.

I ask the Congress of the United States

to initiate proceedings
to remove from office

the current acting president
of the United States

and to appoint a new
president in accordance

with the Presidential
Succession Act of 1886.

I ask the congress to authorize
a presidential election

that will coincide with the
congressional election,

scheduled for the first Tuesday

after the first Monday of November.

I ask no more of the American people

than that they follow my
example and refuse to accept

or support government
conduct that is indefensible.

Liberty and justice will be restored,

and those who have
violated the Constitution

of the United States shall now
be addressed in strict keeping

with the law of the land.

ROOSEVELT: [OVER RADIO] ... Hope that
America will come greatly through

a dark and dangerous time.

That the ship of state
is sturdy and safe.

And that with continued
courage and wisdom

we will safely return it...

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [MUSIC PLAYING]

ALVIN: Oh!
Oh, look at this little pisher!

Isn't he a beautiful kid?
Isn't he the most beautiful kid?

Where's your brother?

- Welcome.
- Herman.

Alvin.

Oh. Aunt Bess.

[SMOOCHES] And this... This is Minna.

And yes, your nephew is marrying up.

That's Minna Schapp,
daughter of Pinball Billy Schapp.

You know, owner of the steakhouse,

the soon to be lobster house,
managed by yours truly.

[FAKE COUGHS] And half
of the gaming machines

between what, southern Maryland,
northern Jersey?

- MINNA: Please to meet you.
- And you.

Boy, something smells great.

- Yeah.
- Latkes.

Come on, I'll give you the recipe.

SANDY: Alvin, is that your car outside?

Who's this? You must
have grown six inches.

Get over here, slugger. [GRUNTS]

That's my car out front.

I'll give you a ride later if you want.

[GRUNTS] I mean, it ain't a Studebaker,

but then what is, huh?

[CANTOR SINGS "L'CHAH DODI"]

[SINGING ECHOES]

BENGELSDORF: In time,
gentlemen, you will see

that there's more to
this than we now know.

Lindbergh's child was
not actually murdered

those many years ago.

The corpse found was of another child

selected by the Nazis.

Charles Jr. was in fact kidnapped,

and has been raised in Berlin
as a model Hitler Youth.

This being done to exploit
Mr. Lindbergh's fame.

The family has been
tortured by this secret.

Blackmailed, every maneuver
in his campaign,

every divisive
circumstance that resulted

was engineered by the Nazis.

It's been unspeakably cruel,
to the Lindbergh's,

while trapped in this vicious hoax.

They have resisted the Nazi demands

against our people
as much as they dared.

But it was not enough.

So, Lindbergh was ordered back to Berlin

to allow Wheeler,
a true enemy of democracy

to ascend to the presidency
in time, gentlemen.

- All of this will become apparent...
- Rabbi!

We must talk frankly.

See, the thing about the fight game,

if you understand it, is that

unless someone's rigged something,

you can look at a couple of pugs

and just know who has the advantage.

I mean, these certain guys
with certain styles,

- they're gonna last 15...
- SELDON: May I be excused?

BESS: Certainly, Seldon.

[CHUCKLES] Anyway. Um... These guys,

they're not gonna let
themselves get hit the same way

as the bums do. And when they are hit,

they're the kind who've shown you
they can take it, which is why

I'm gonna be backing this one
Italian fella from Camden.

Ugh! There's money in him!
I can smell it.

- HERMAN: So, a big Plymouth automobile.
- [CHUCKLES]

A sharpie's suits,

the scum of the earth for your friends.

- BESS: Herman.
- This is what it comes to, Alvin?

[SCOFFS] Do you... Do
you know? Do you care?

Does it bother you at all
what's happened in this country?

It did once.

But now, no. Now, it's...

big cigars and motor cars

and big bets on Italian boxers.

You have any idea what's happening

to the Jews in this country?
What's at stake now

- in this coming election?
- The Jews?

I wrecked my life for the Jews.

I lost my fucking leg for the Jews.

I lost my fucking leg for you.

All your talk about Lindbergh
and how goddamn awful he was,

but did you ever do anything about it?

Huh?! Did you ever get off
your ass and fight?

- Or were you just gonna sit there...
- Boys.

by the fucking radio,

complaining for the rest of eternity?!

And you're gonna talk to
me about the Jews? You?!

- If Lindbergh was still here...
- [TUTS] But he's not.

- Is he?
- Thank God.

Is that what you think?
That the Jewish God, huh?

Yahweh himself waits
until the time is right

to put a plague on
Pharaoh or part the sea,

so you can sit on your
ass and wait for God.

You think it's too easy.

To speak out against a Lindbergh.

- Do you think it doesn't cost?
- To speak?!

When the fuck do you people ever act?!

Huh? When it's too late.

When the damage is already done.

All you people ever do is talk.

- [SPITS]
