authorities for years, today

police arrested Owen O'Rourke,

67, and his son Sean O'Rourke,

32, in what some are calling

Chicago's biggest bust against

organized crime since Al Capone.

Long reputed to be members of

the so-called 'Irish Mafia' the

father and son owners of Duplex

Energy face indictment on

several counts of securities

fraud, conspiracy...

Larry >> Turn that crap off.

TV News >> ...money laundering

and blackmail.

While in custody, the elder

O'Rourke suffered what our

source described as a

massive heart attack.

He was rushed to Harbor View

Hospital but there's no word

on his condition.

Sean O'Rourke vowed revenge.

>> Larry, we don't have

to run away from them now.

We can stay in Chicago.

They're in jail.

>> Yes, we do. You don't

understand, Lizzy.

My testimony put

these guys away.

I know you've been

through a lot lately.

I'm trying to make it up to you.

Today I had a second interview

with a headhunter from MaxGen

and I've signed on with a couple

more recruiting agencies.

This nightmare is going to end.

>> How could you do

this to yourself?

To my family?

To us?

>> I didn't know I was doing

anything illegal at Duplex.

They hired me to promote

investment opportunities

to clients. So I did.

I couldn't help it if the

company turned into another

Enron or Worldcom!

Honey, everything

I did was for us.

You have to believe that.

His son Sean is still in prison.

He couldn't raise the

five million dollar bond.

The government froze

all their assets.

Liz >> Because he worked

there, Larry was indicted too.

But his lawyers plea bargained

him out of jail in exchange

to jail to save your hide.

What do you suppose I should do

with you now, now that I know

Save your life?

secret testimony is a crock.

>> Any testimony your husband

made would point the finger

right back to him.

>> I didn't want to move here

but I couldn't leave him.

My poor parents had to take out

a second mortgage just to

pay our legal bills.
