1:22:02
And men stare wild-eyed
at the spectacle of complete ruin.
1:22:06
More than 16.5 million shares change hands
in a single day of frenzied selling.
1:22:10
The paper fortunes built up
over the past few years...
1:22:13
...crumble into nothing
before this disaster...
1:22:15
...which is to touch every man, woman
and child in America.
1:22:21
Hey, boys!
1:22:30
- Now what do you want?
- I need 200,000 to cover your account.
1:22:34
- I gave you 200 grand.
- I need it again. I'll give you an hour.
1:22:37
- Lf you don't have it, I'll have to sell you out.
- All right, I'll get it.
1:22:44
There you are. That's five more.
1:22:46
You must be sneaking lessons
on the side.
1:22:50
- What, are you still around?
- George, I've got no time to waste.
1:22:54
I need 200 grand.
1:22:55
Yeah? What am I
supposed to do about it?
1:22:57
Will you put away that thing?
1:22:59
Look, I'll sell you 40 percent
of my cab company for 200,000.
1:23:02
I don't want 40 percent of anything.
1:23:04
- That's a lot of cabs, chief.
- Over 6000.
1:23:06
I'll tell you what. I'll give you
250 grand for the whole company.
1:23:09
Are you nuts? Those guys from Chicago
offered me two million three months ago.
1:23:13
Okay, then. Sell it to them.
1:23:14
But I can't get to them.
I need the money now.
1:23:16
You heard my offer: 250 grand.
Take it or leave it.
1:23:20
I'll take it.
1:23:22
Okay, it's a deal.
1:23:24
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
for you, Eddie.
1:23:27
I ain't gonna take all your cabs away.
1:23:29
What's the hitch?
1:23:30
I'm gonna leave you one, just one...
1:23:33
...because you're going to need it, pal.
1:23:37
First to feel the effects of the economic
disaster which sweeps the country...
1:23:41
...are the nightclubs, the speakeasies,
and the bootleggers who serve them.
1:23:44
With the falling off of profits
in the illegal liquor industry...
1:23:47
...the mobsters have difficulty
in paying protection.
1:23:50
And the number of raids, arrests
and convictions double and quadruple.
1:23:54
Then in the depth of the economic despair
that has gripped the country...
1:23:57
...Franklin Delano Roosevelt
is elected president...
