- Mr Ness.
- Thank you, Chief.
:08:03
At the request
of the City of Chicago,
:08:07
the Department of the Treasury
has inaugurated a programme
:08:11
to deal with the flow of illegal
liquor and the violence it creates.
:08:14
Mr Ness!
Of what does this programme consist?
:08:18
l and other agents of the Treasury
will be working
:08:21
with the Chicago Police...
:08:23
lsn't it just another
showpiece programme?
:08:25
- What do you think of prohibition?
- Do you drink, Mr Ness?
:08:30
- Come on, answer the questions.
- lt's not just a showpiece.
:08:34
And l'll tell you
how l feel about prohibition.
:08:37
lt is the law of the land.
:08:38
Do you consider yourself
a crusader, is that it?
:08:41
What qualifications
do you have for the job?
:08:44
Do you have any political ambitions?
:08:46
All right, boys,
l think that's enough.
:08:51
What are your real plans?
What have you got coming up?
:08:54
You'll have to read about it
in the paper.
:08:57
- Let me ride along with you.
- No. Can't help you.
:09:00
Mr Ness, Lieutenant Alderson,
the Flying Squad.
:09:04
Are you ready to meet the men?
:09:08
Yes, l am.
:09:19
l have one more thing to say.
:09:26
l know that many of you take a drink.
:09:29
What you've done before today
is not my concern.
:09:33
But now we must be pure,
and l want you to stop.
:09:38
lt's not a question of whether it's
'a harmless drink'. lt may well be.
:09:42
But it's against the law.
:09:44
And as we are going to enforce
the law, we must do first by example.
:09:53
Are there any questions?
:09:56
Good. The Department
of the Treasury's had
