:20:02
...and traffic in liquor
goes completely undercover...
:20:05
...to stay there for many long years.
:20:08
The word "speakeasy"
begins to appear in our language.
:20:11
And the forces of the underworld, who
best know how to operate outside the law...
:20:15
...are moving in on a new source of revenue,
the magnitude of which no man dare guess.
:20:28
Sixty cents.
:20:30
Say, will you do me a favor?
:20:31
Take these into Henderson's and collect
12 bucks. Ask for Panama Smith.
:20:34
- What's her name?
- Panama Smith.
:20:36
- I'm taking these across the street.
- Okay.
:20:38
- Meet you back here at the cab.
- Yeah.
:20:43
Hey, Panama, how about something
to go with this ginger ale?
:20:46
On the way.
:20:49
- You Panama Smith?
- That's me, brother.
:20:51
Package for you. Twelve bucks.
:20:53
Oh, yes. The meat.
:20:55
Come on.
:20:56
Hey, what are you trying to do?
Get us both tossed in the cooler?
:20:59
There's a law against that dry goods.
:21:01
I don't know what's in here,
and I don't care. Twelve bucks.
:21:04
Just a minute. Just a minute.
:21:06
You bootleggers are gonna learn
the law is being enforced.
:21:09
What are you talking about?
:21:11
You're under arrest
for violating the Volstead Act.
:21:14
I don't know anything about it.
:21:15
We know. You came in with a load of soda
water, and on the way it distilled into gin.
:21:20
And you were delivering it for a friend.
:21:21
- That's right.
- You can tell it to the judge.
:21:24
Come on. You too, Panama.
:21:25
- What for, snooper?
- For handling this laughing soup.
:21:28
- This means a padlock for you.
- But I'm not handling it. He had it.
:21:31
And now he has it. Besides, I didn't know
anything about it. Did I, buster?
:21:35
That's the way it was.
:21:37
I drive a guy in my cab, he asked me
to deliver that to a customer in here.
:21:40
I forget his name.
I asked if she knows him.
:21:42
You got me crying for both of you.
Now, come on.
:21:45
I delivered for a guy
who's waiting outside.
:21:47
This guy's on the up and up.
He's no bootlegger.
:21:49
- I never saw him before.
- You see him this time. That's enough.
:21:52
Now, get out of here.
:21:54
Hey, buster, who do you know?
:21:56
- I know a lawyer.
- It'd be better if you knew a judge.
:21:59
Panama Smith, in view of the evidence...
