1:15:00
I heard that when they
pulled into the gas station...
1:15:03
Blanche gets out
to get some cigarettes...
1:15:06
and that's
when he confronted them.
1:15:09
How could you? How could you
cheat on me with a bum like that?
1:15:12
Emmet, don't!
1:15:13
Make a fool out of me
in front of everybody!
1:15:15
So I slept with him.
But I was just researching a book!
1:15:18
I loved you!
1:15:21
Don't be crazy. Do something!
1:15:25
I'm sorry. My tire blew out.
1:15:29
Believe me, he never tried to kill
himself, because Emmet Ray was...
1:15:33
He had much too much ego
for anything like that.
1:15:38
A story that Eddie Condon
tells about...
1:15:40
And Eddie Condon definitely
was not a reliable source...
1:15:42
'cause he was
a big embellisher himself.
1:15:45
But the story Eddie Condon tells,
I believe...
1:15:48
is that Torrio was aware...
1:15:51
that the fact that he was a gangster
was a big turn- on for Blanche.
1:15:55
And so he decided...
1:15:56
And so he decided...
1:15:57
that he would
pull into this gas station...
1:16:00
and he would stick it up.
1:16:07
- Can I help you, sir?
- Get your hands in the air, Pops.
1:16:10
Give me everything
in the register!
1:16:12
Emmet was so panicked
by hearing gunshots...
1:16:14
he crept into the front seat
and took off.
1:16:17
He didn't get more than 50 feet
before he crashed into an oncoming car.
1:16:22
Now there's this terrible crash.
Miraculously, no one is hurt.
1:16:26
And who gets out of the car
but a group of musicians.
1:16:30
I can't remember who it was.
1:16:32
It was like Buck Clayton, Coleman
Hawkins, Teddy Wilson or something.
1:16:35
But there, suddenly,
standing in front of Emmet...
1:16:39
is Django Reinhardt.
1:16:55
I believe later that year...
1:16:58
Emmet turned up in New Jersey...
