Hey, come on, you, on your feet!
I need you to help me to translate this book!
I'm not gonna ask you a second time.
I'm gonna count to three.
What's the matter? Can't you talk with a gun in your mouth?
One.
Two!
Three.
I'm gonna talk!
Don't! I'm gonna tell ya whatever ya want. What do ya want to know?
Don't let him clean himself until after he talks.
Now, ask him what you want to know.
All right... OK, I want to know the name of the bookkeeper.
I want a complete translation of the code. I want a complete...
Mister Ness!
I do not approve of your methods!
Yeah? Well, you're not from Chicago.
- What? - They got the shipment.
- What?! - They got the whole shipment.
- I want that son-of-a-bitch dead! - We're trying to locate...
What am l, alone in this world? Did I ask you what you're tryin' to do?
I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want Eliot Ness dead!
I want his family dead, 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.
John, I thought that was all settled. I thought we liked John.
I suppose his middle name will be Law.
No...it'll be Edgar.
- lt'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 here.
I know. 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 Al Capone.
Gentlemen! A subpoena was issued for Alphonse Capone
by my office this morning, for the crime of evading
and conspiring to evade Federal lncome Tax.
- What's the maximum he could get? - If convicted on all counts,
Mr Capone could have up to 28 years.
Excuse me, that's all. Thank you.
The car's in the yard. When ya get him there, don't answer the phone.
- We'll call, let it ring... - Twice.
- We'll call... - From the corner.
- Anybody knocks on the door... - Come out shooting. I got it.
You enjoy the tactical aspects of law enforcement, Oscar?
Much more diverting than accounting.
I've been good to you, you got to be good to me.
We made a deal, we're gonna stick to it, OK?
Oh, yes, much more diverting than accounting.
OK, we see yous tonight.
All right, all the way down and no stops.
..he can say, "l will speak up."
For which I must commend the excellent work
of Eliot Ness and his squad of Untouchables.
- What was it, a boy or a girl? - Boy.
- Congratulations! What's his name? - John.
- John? - Yeah. John James.
- So she's OK? - Yeah, she's OK.
In fact, when she gets out, she wants to repaint the house.
Then she'll find the house too small, you'll have to move.
- Goodness, it's nice to be married. - If you can stand the pain.
Mr Burns, where's Mr Wallace?
Didn't you see him? He just went down in the service elevator.
- You keep an eye out at all times... - Take it easy, we'll be fine.
They are going to...
- Did he say the service elevator? - Yes.
- Wallace! Wallace! - Here, let's take the stairs.
Oh, no.
- No, no! - Easy... Easy!
Oscar.
Oh, Jesus.
You gonna be all right?
It's always a crime when a young guy goes down in the line, Jimmy.
I'd hate to see it happen to someone I know.
Sometimes it's better not to get involved.
Jimmy!
Take a day off. Get out of the city for a while.
You know what I mean?
- Al Capone. - We have no Mr Capone...
- I know, get him. - We have no Mr Capone...
I said...
- Something you want here? - My friend was killed today.
- I don't care. - You don't care.
Now he does.
Come on here, Capone. You want to fight? You and me, right here?
That's it, come on!
You afraid to come out from behind your men, to stand up for yourself?
- You want to do the mat now? - Yeah! Come on, you son-of-a-bitch!
- What? - Easy.
You talk to me like that in front of my son? Fuck you and your family!
Easy. It's me. It's me!
Not this way.
You fuck, you got nothin'! You're nothin' but talk and a badge.
You're here because you got nothin' in court, no bookkeeper, nothin'!
If you were a man, you would've done it now! You got nothin', you punk!
Well, 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,
and he won't go into court without a witness.
So tomorrow morning the D.A. will announce that he's dropping the case.
- He's gonna give up. - He won't do it without a witness.
We have Wallace's files and the ledgers.
There's a time when I think you have to cut your losses.
Hello?
Hello.
Yes.
No, he didn't have a family.
How is everything there?
No, you do it however you want.
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.
- We got Al Capone, Frank Nitti... - I think that's enough for today.
- If we don't stay on top... - That'll do. Thank you.
I'd like to request to stick around.
- We got to bust these guys. - I know we got to.
Is that it?
- I'm sorry? - You heard me.
My question is, are we done?
Yes, I think we're done.
So we sat in at a game that was above our head?
It appears so. It appears so to Mr Wallace.
He's dead! And the D.A. is gonna drop the case!
He will not go into court without a witness
and without Capone's bookkeeper, Walter Payne.
- What are you prepared to do now? - What would you have me do?
I have taken this as far as it can go.
- What did your wife want? - She wanted to know if I was...
- My wife? - Yeah.
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 colour charts or something.
Some part of the world still cares what colour the kitchen is.
Eliot, I want you to 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?
Al says we got to get out of town until he can fix this subpoena thing.
We're leavin' tonight.
Two ball, down.
Mike, you got a minute?
I do now, don't l?
And what are you doin' in a club for cops, Jimmy?
This is a place for cops.
Can we step outside?
All right, all right, but I got nothin' to say to ya.
Where the hell are we going, for a swim? Get out of the rain, you fool.
What? What?!
I just need one more piece of information.
One more? Jimmy!
- I just risked my life for ya. - I need to find that bookkeeper.
Are you crazy? You're crazy. I warned you to get out of town.
- If they knew it was me, I'm dead. - I need to find that bookkeeper.
You're fuckin' nuts, man! You're out of your fuckin' mind!
And I tried to save your life.
Get your hands off. You owe me, Jimmy, I don't owe you nothin'.
- My people are being killed. - We're your people!
You?! You fuckin' run with the dagos! They've ruined this town.
For ten years I can't say that I'm a cop for the shit that's goin' on!
Ah, bullshit! Fuckin' bullshit! Look at yourself! Look at yourself!
Go on and live the charade, with your soft clothes and federal stooges.
- What do you think he's gonna do? - Keep your mouth off that!
I need to know where this guy is, and I need to know now!
Or I'm gonna rat you out for all the shit that I know that you've done!
I'm gonna turn you over!
- This is a dead man talkin' to me. - Is it?
You're dead.
Who the hell do ya think ya are?
I'll have your ass hangin' from the flagpole in the mornin'.
Let's cut the woofing, pal. You tell me,
or you're going to hospital or the fuckin' morgue!
You're gonna fight it out and we'll have a case.
Yes? On what basis? I'm not gonna make a fool...
Don't tell me about makin' a fool out of yourself.
I have men out there risking more than that.
We have a lead, and we are following that lead
at risk to more than our standing. So don't you dare stop now.
- Yeah, Stone. - Give me Ness.
He's at the D,A, 's,
Tell him I know where Payne is and to meet me at my place.
- Al! Al! - Mr Capone!
- What about that court case? - I'm gonna tell ya somethin'.
Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with him.
Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say "you stole",
not talk to him for spittin' 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 ever have a grievance,
I would have just a little more self respect.
I'll tell you one more thing. In an all-out prize fight,
when one guy's left standing, that's how you know who won.
(SLlGHT CREAK)
Isn't that just like a wop?
Brings a knife to a gun fight.
Get out of here, ya dago bastard!
Go on, get your ass out of here!

- What are you doin'? - Shut up!
- What are you doin'? - Shut the fuck up!
- Hold it! - Please...
- My baby! - Stay there. He's all right.
I said hold it!
I'm walkin' out with the bookkeeper.
The bookkeeper and me are drivin' away.
See? Or else he dies.
He dies, and you ain't got nothin'.
You got five seconds to make up your mind.
- I'll tell ya what ya want to know! - Shut up! I'm not kiddin'!
He's crazy! Don't let him do this, I'll tell you what you want to know!
- You got him? - Yeah, I got him.
- One! - Will you stop it!
Take him.
Two.
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 one and a third million dollars.
Would you repeat that amount, please?
- One and a third million dollars. - 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.
The son-of-a-bitch is wearing a gun in court.
Get me the bailiff.
It'll be a fast trial.
The man in the front row wearing a white suit is carrying a gun.
I don't want this to turn into something. I'll lead you out.
Could we speak to you a minute, please?
- Get up against it. - You heard him. Now, up against it!
- What's this? - Empty all your pockets, all of it.
- I've got a permit for that. - Fine, let's see it.
- I'm not the one under indictment. - Everything on the table.
- Let me see. - 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.
(TWO GUNSHOTS)
(CLlCKS)
(CREAKlNG)
Here I am, Treasury Man. Come on! Harass me!
What are you waitin' for?
Don't just stand there! Harass me!
Don't push me.
- They're gonna burn you, buddy. - Yeah?
Yeah. I'm gonna 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 that your friend died screaming like a stuck lrish pig.
Now, you think about that when I beat the rap.
Hey...!
(SCREAMlNG)
Did he sound anything like that?
One picture, come on, one picture.
Mr Ness, take a look at this.
Mr Ness?
Mr Ness, are you doin' OK? I think you'd better see this.
- What is it? - That's the jury list, Mr Ness.
They've been bribed.
I got it out of Nitti's coat. Where is Nitti?
He's in the car.
This constitutes no evidence. I'm not about to allow...
Your Honour, the truth is that Capone is a killer and he will go free.
There is only one way to deal with such men, and that is hunt them down.
I have. I have forsworn myself. I have broken laws I swore to defend.
I am content that I have done right. That man must be stopped, you must...
I'll be the judge of what I must do, Mr Ness.
Would you excuse us?
- Bailiff. - Yes, sir.
I want you to go next door to Judge Hoffman's Court,
where they've just begun hearing a divorce action.
I want you to bring that jury in here and take this jury to his court.
- Are those instructions clear? - Yes, sir, they're clear.
What's he talking about?
Bailiff, I want you to switch the juries.
Your Honour, 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 a second! Is this the law? What's goin' on here?
- You're out of order. - What's goin' on?
- I think... - Do somethin' here.
What do I look like to you? Do somethin'!
Order!
Your Honour, we'd like to withdraw our plea of Not Guilty,
and enter a plea of Guilty.
- Guilty? - Order in the court!
Order!
Bailiff! Bailiff!
Bailiff, clear the courtroom!
Eliot!
Your Honour! Is that justice?
Please, why did he switch the jury?
Are you gonna go after the organisation?
Excuse me.
I'm askin' Your Honour, is this justice?
Is this justice?
Never stop fighting till the fight is done.
What did you say?
I said never stop fighting till the fight is done.
- What? - You heard me, Capone. It's over.
You're nothin' but a lot of talk and a badge.
Here endeth the lesson.
You're nothin' but a lot of talk and a badge!
So much violence.
Cleaning up a little.
I guess this is goodbye.
Goodbye, George.
I want to...thank you for this.
No. Thank you.
Mr Ness... I think he would have 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 Al Capone on the spot."
I just happened to be there 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.
