1:01:01
One mob gets to
massacring another.

1:01:04
The papers play it up big.
Big, see?

1:01:06
-So what happens?
-So what?

1:01:08
The papers play it up big,
and the public. . .

1:01:11
. . .gets the idea that
Prohibition's no good.

1:01:14
That if they can get rid of it. . . .
1:01:16
-Prohibition, I mean--
-I don't believe it.

1:01:18
Eight hundred guys washed out to sea.
You're a liar!

1:01:21
Nobody would live here
after that!

1:01:23
-Would they?
-I remember reading it in the papers.

1:01:26
A relief train was
dispatched from Miami.

1:01:29
The barometer was down
to about 26 inches. . .

1:01:33
. . .when that train
pulled into Homestead.

1:01:36
Engineer backed his string of empty
coaches into the danger zone. . .

1:01:40
. . .and the hurricane hit.
1:01:42
Knocked those coaches
right off the track.

1:01:46
Two hundred miles an hour,
that wind blew.

1:01:50
A tidal wave 1 2 feet high
went right across the Key.

1:01:56
Whole towns were wiped out.
1:01:58
Miles and miles of track
were ripped up. . .

1:02:01
. . .and washed away.
Nothing was left.

1:02:03
More than 500 bodies were
recovered after the storm.

1:02:09
And for months afterwards. . .
1:02:11
. . .corpses were found
in the mangrove swamps.

1:02:19
You don't like it, do you?
The storm?

1:02:22
Show it your gun, why don't you?
1:02:24
If it doesn't stop, shoot it.
1:02:31
So the public votes out Prohibition.
1:02:33
And that's the end of the mobs.
1:02:36
Next time, it'll be different.
1:02:38
We learned our lesson, all right.
1:02:40
Next time, the mobs'll get together.
1:02:46
Make the big wave.
1:02:47
Send it crashing down on us.
1:02:50
Destroy us all, if need be.
But punish him.

1:02:53
Shut up, old man!
I'm warning you!

1:02:55
Hear me. Hear me!
1:02:57
I'll kill you!
1:02:58
Make a big wave.
