:54:03
He's gonna be awful sore at you, Eddie.
:54:05
I'm in too much of a hurry
to worry about that.
:54:07
- He's a mean guy.
- I'll take my chances.
:54:13
You know...
:54:15
...I think I'd like to take mine with you.
:54:17
Between us, we ought to do
all right together.
:54:19
I'm doing all right now.
:54:20
Look here, Eddie.
It won't be so easy the next time.
:54:23
Brown ain't gonna stand for you hijacking
his boat. Next time he'll be ready for you.
:54:27
One fine night, a 5-inch shell
is gonna blow the top of your head off.
:54:31
You can't spend your profits
in the bottom of the ocean.
:54:34
- Go on.
- Well, it's like this.
:54:38
I got the organization to bring the stuff in,
and I know where to get it.
:54:42
You've got the organization to peddle it.
:54:47
You mean you want to double-cross Brown.
:54:50
It's been done before, you know.
:54:55
What do you say?
:54:59
I don't trust you, George.
:55:02
You could stand
a little watching yourself.
:55:06
That sounds like
a pretty good basis for a partnership.
:55:09
You're on, it's a deal.
:55:11
Right.
:55:17
1924. By now, America is well launched
into an era of amazing madness.
:55:22
Bootlegging has grown from small,
individual effort...
:55:25
...to big business, embodying
huge coalitions and combines.
:55:29
The chase after huge profits is followed
closely by their inevitable partners...
:55:34
...corruption, violence and murder.
:55:36
A new and powerful tool
appears, the Tommy...
:55:39
...a light, deadly, wasp-like machine gun...
:55:42
...and murder henceforth is parceled out
in wholesale lots.
