Mafia's Greatest Hits (2012–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Dutch Schultz - full transcript

Narrator: IN THE LAWLESS DAYS
OF PROHIBITION,

ONE GANGSTER STANDS OUT
AS THE BLACK SHEEP --

DUTCH SCHULTZ.

HE'S SO BAD,
EVEN OTHER GANGSTERS HATE HIM.

Dezenhall: DUTCH SCHULTZ NEVER
WANTED TO NEGOTIATE.

HE HAD A SHORT TEMPER.

HE WAS JUST SCARY
AND UNPLEASANT TO BE AROUND.

Narrator: NO ONE'S SAFE
FROM THE DUTCHMAN,

INCLUDING HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS.

Hendley: YOU DO NOT WANT TO
DOUBLE-CROSS THIS MAN.

HE'S GOT A TEMPER, AND HE'S
PERFECTLY HAPPY TO KILL



EVEN PEOPLE HE'S WORKED
VERY CLOSELY WITH FOR YEARS.

Narrator: HE'S A GANGSTER LIKE
NO OTHER,

AND HE SHOWS THE WORLD
IN INCREASINGLY HORRIFIC WAYS.

DUTCH SCHULTZ GOT THIS IDEA THAT
HE WOULD ENCASE FEET IN CONCRETE

AND DUMP THEM
INTO THE HARLEM RIVER.

IT WAS KNOWN AS CONCRETE LEGS.

Narrator: BUT WHEN HE THREATENS
TO TAKE OUT HIS ANGER

ON A STATE PROSECUTOR,

THE MOB CAN'T RISK THE FALLOUT,

AND DUTCH SCHULTZ
GOES DOWN IN HISTORY

AS THE LAST MOB BOSS
TO DARE QUESTION

THE NEWLY CROWNED KING
OF THE NEW YORK MAFIA,

LUCKY LUCIANO.

THE MESSAGE WAS A BODY FULL OF
LEAD, AND HE WAS WIPED OUT.



Narrator: THIS IS THE INCREDIBLE
STORY OF DUTCH SCHULTZ.

[ SEAGULLS CRYING ]

SEPTEMBER 1935 --

ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST FEARED
GANGSTERS, DUTCH SCHULTZ,

SUSPECTS HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN
BO WEINBERG

IS PLOTTING AGAINST HIM WITH
A RIVAL MOB BOSS, LUCKY LUCIANO.

Hendley: SCHULTZ IS OUTRAGED
WHEN HE DISCOVERS

THAT BO WEINBERG
HAS BETRAYED HIM.

HE REACTS, YOU KNOW,
EXPLOSIVELY, TO PUT IT MILDLY.

*

Raab: SCHULTZ CONSIDERED
HIMSELF A UNIQUE KILLER,

AND HE LIKED TO TORTURE
HIS VICTIMS WHENEVER HE COULD

AND WATCH AS THEY DIED.

Narrator:
WEINBERG ISN'T JUST ANY OLD
MEMBER OF SCHULTZ'S GANG.

HE'S ONE OF DUTCH'S
CLOSEST FRIENDS.

AND THAT MAKES
THE BETRAYAL EVEN WORSE.

Dezenhall:
IF YOU WERE NOT WITH HIM,
YOU WERE HIS ARCHENEMY,

AND YOU WERE LIKELY TO END UP
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EAST RIVER.

Narrator: SCHULTZ DOESN'T JUST
WANT BO DEAD.

HE WANTS HIM TO SUFFER.

Raab: HE ENCASED BOTH OF HIS
FEET IN CONCRETE

AND WATCHED HIM SQUIRM.

*

[ MUFFLED WHIMPERING ]

THEY PULLED HIM TOWARDS
THE EDGE OF THE BOAT,

TOWARDS THE BOW, AND JUST
TOSSED HIM OVERBOARD,

AND HE KNEW HE WOULD
DROWN PAINFULLY.

[ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]

*

Narrator: WEINBERG COMMITTED
THE CARDINAL SIN.

HE TURNED HIS BACK ON SCHULTZ,

AND REJECTION IS A WOUND
THAT CUTS SCHULTZ DEEP.

*

*

DUTCH'S PROBLEMS STEM
FROM HIS CHILDHOOD.

AS A KID, HE WAS ABANDONED
BY HIS FATHER.

AND THE WORLD WOULD
PAY FOR HIS PAIN.

AFTER A SHORT STRETCH
FOR PETTY THIEVING,

THE 19-YEAR-OLD KID IS FREE,

AND HE WANTS TO BREAK
FROM THE PAST.

BORN ARTHUR FLEGENHEIMER,

SCHULTZ STARTED OUT IN
LOW-RENT JOBS AROUND NEW YORK,

AND NOBODY THOUGHT THIS KID
WAS GOING TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING.

Hendley: A CHORUS GIRL ONCE
FAMOUSLY SAID,

"HE LOOKS LIKE BING CROSBY
WITH HIS FACE BASHED IN."

HE'S NOT AN ATTRACTIVE GUY,

AND HE'S NOT A PARTICULARLY
FIERCE-LOOKING GUY.

Narrator:
NOW FLEGENHEIMER WANTS TO SHOW
THE WORLD HE IS SOMEBODY.

SO HE JOINS A STREET
GANG IN THE BRONX

AND SHEDS HIS FATHER'S
NAME TO START AFRESH.

Hendley:
THEY ALL REMEMBER THERE HAD BEEN
THIS OLD-TIME GANGSTER

FROM A GENERATION BEFORE
NAMED DUTCH SCHULTZ.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST
BORROW HIS NAME?

THAT HAS MORE ZIP TO IT."

Narrator:
AND SO IT'S DUTCH SCHULTZ,
NOT ARTIE FLEGENHEIMER,

WHO IS DETERMINED TO SHOW
THE UNDERWORLD WHAT HE CAN DO.

*

SCHULTZ STARTS HIS NEW CAREER

AT THE HEIGHT OF
PROHIBITION AMERICA.

IN 1919, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
OUTLAWS THE PRODUCTION OF BOOZE.

BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING
TO BREAK THE LAW,

PROHIBITION MEANS
SOMETHING ELSE.

[ SWING MUSIC PLAYS ]

Pietrusza: PROHIBITION IS
A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY

FOR EVERY GANGSTER IN AMERICA,

EVERY FELLA WHO'S IN
FOR THE FAST BUCK.

Narrator:
GANGSTERS ACROSS THE U.S.
GET INTO THE ILLEGAL PRODUCTION

AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOOZE.

AND A YOUNG DUTCH SCHULTZ
GETS HIS BIG BREAK

AS THE MUSCLE RIDING SHOTGUN TO
PROTECT THE ILLEGAL SHIPMENTS.

HE SEES FIRSTHAND HOW QUENCHING
THE THIRST OF AMERICANS

IN ILLEGAL SPEAKEASIES
CAN MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

*

*

DUTCH SCHULTZ LEARNS
FROM THE BEST,

THE NEW KING
OF CRIME IN AMERICA.

Pietrusza: ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN IS
ESSENTIALLY

THE FOUNDER
OF ORGANIZED CRIME INC.

IN NEW YORK, HE IS NUMERO UNO,
NUMBER ONE,

THE BIG MAN,
THE BIG BANKROLL,

THE GUY WHO PUTS
EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

Narrator:
ROTHSTEIN BELIEVES THAT,
TO BE SUCCESSFUL,

MOB BUSINESS NEEDS
TO BE EXACTLY THAT --

A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS, AND ALL
CARRIED OUT IN THE SHADOWS.

SO HE BEGINS MOLDING ROUGH,
YOUNG HOODLUMS IN HIS OWN IMAGE.

ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN WAS CONSIDERED

A VERY BRILLIANT,
REFINED MENTOR.

HE WAS AN EXTREMELY
PIVOTAL PERSONALITY

IN THE PSYCHE
OF A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Narrator: IN ROTHSTEIN, SCHULTZ
AT LAST FINDS

THE FATHER FIGURE
HE'S BEEN YEARNING FOR,

BUT DUTCH HAS A RIVAL.

ROTHSTEIN IS GROOMING
ANOTHER DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH,

A SMART KID WITH A BIG FUTURE.

Hendley: SCHULTZ MEETS
CHARLES "LUCKY" LUCIANO,

WHO IS AN ITALIAN

WHO'S SORT OF THIS OTHER
STRIVING, YOUNG GANGSTER.

THEY'RE BOTH AMBITIOUS.

Narrator:
BUT LUCIANO LEARNS FAST,

WHILE SCHULTZ JUST CAN'T GIVE UP
THE OLD WAYS.

Raab: ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN COULD SEE
THE DIFFERENCE IN GANGSTERS.

GUYS LIKE SCHULTZ WERE
JUST OLD-FASHIONED KILLERS.

LUCIANO WAS SMART, SLICK --
REALIZED

IF YOU COULD DO IT NONVIOLENTLY
AND GET AWAY WITH IT,

IT WAS A LOT BETTER
THAN DOING IT VIOLENTLY.

Narrator: ONCE AGAIN,
DUTCH SCHULTZ FINDS HIMSELF

ABANDONED BY A FATHER FIGURE,

AND THE KID WITH THE SHORT FUSE

DOESN'T LIKE
COMING OFF SECOND-BEST.

Dezenhall:
DUTCH SCHULTZ WAS NOT SOMEONE

WHO TOLERATED JEALOUSY
VERY, VERY WELL.

IF YOU WERE NOT WITH HIM,
YOU WERE HIS ARCHENEMY.

[ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator:
WHILE DUTCH IS PASSED OVER,

LUCKY LUCIANO IS TRANSFORMED
UNDER ROTHSTEIN'S GUIDANCE.

ROTHSTEIN TEACHES LUCIANO

HOW TO MOVE
AMONG THE MANHATTAN ELITE...

...HOW TO DRESS WITH STYLE,
NOT LIKE A STREET THUG.

*

IT ISN'T LONG BEFORE
THE TWO YOUNG GUNS

BEGIN THEIR OWN GANGS.

TYPICALLY, LUCIANO WORKS SMART,

HOOKING UP WITH TALENT LIKE
CRIMINAL GENIUS MEYER LANSKY

AND THE CHARISMATIC
BUGSY SIEGEL.

IGNORING ROTHSTEIN'S LESSONS,

DUTCH FORMS HIS GANG
FROM A GROUP OF OLD THUG PALS

FROM THE BRONX.

GUYS LIKE DUTCH DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE VALUE OF STRATEGY.

THEY ONLY DO BUSINESS ONE WAY --
THROUGH TERROR.

*

DUTCH FIRST SETS UP WITH TOUGH
NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDY JOEY NOE.

THEY HIRE A BUNCH OF THUGS,

INCLUDING ANOTHER CHILDHOOD
FRIEND, VINCENT "MAD DOG" COLL.

Hendley: VINCENT COLL WAS ONE OF
DUTCH SCHULTZ'S

OLD STREET-GANG BUDDIES
FROM WHEN THEY WERE QUITE YOUNG,

BUT EVEN BY GANGLAND STANDARDS,
HE WAS VIOLENTLY UNSTABLE.

Narrator: ALONG WITH COLL,
A NEW PAL IS BO WEINBERG,

AND LATER, JULES MARTIN.

IT'S A LOYAL AND VICIOUS GROUP,
AND ONE OF SCHULTZ'S FIRST ACTS

IS TO SEND A MESSAGE
TO THE MAN WHO REJECTED HIM.

*

DUTCH STEPS ON ROTHSTEIN'S TOES

BY STARTING HIS OWN
BOOTLEGGING OUTFIT

SMACK IN ROTHSTEIN'S TERRITORY.

ROTHSTEIN'S LUCRATIVE SETUP
IS STRICTLY TOP-END.

HE SELLS ONLY QUALITY, IMPORTED
SCOTCH TO THE MANHATTAN ELITE.

BUT SCHULTZ DOESN'T
HAVE ROTHSTEIN'S CLASS.

*

AT FIRST, NO ONE WANT DUTCH'S
DISGUSTING BOOTLEG BEER --

NOT UNTIL THEY GET
THE SCHULTZ GANG SALES PITCH.

Hendley:
NO ONE WOULD NORMALLY STOCK
THIS, BUT IT WAS PROHIBITION.

IT'S BEING PROMOTED
BY GANGSTERS,

AND WHEN SOMEBODY SHOWS UP
AT YOUR ILLEGAL SALOON

WITH A SHOTGUN AND SAYS,

"WE'D LIKE YOU TO BUY
10 CASES OF THIS,"

YOU DON'T REALLY
TURN THEM DOWN.

*

Narrator:
SCHULTZ'S RIVAL, LUCKY LUCIANO,

IS SMART ENOUGH NOT TO SET UP
WITHOUT ROTHSTEIN'S BLESSING.

*

AND ALONG WITH BOOTLEGGING,

LUCKY'S GANG WILL LATER SPREAD
INTO PROSTITUTION AND NARCOTICS.

THE SUAVE, YOUNG GANGSTER

IS ON A PATH
TO SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS...

...WHILE DUTCH RESORTS TO
EVER MORE EXTREME MEASURES.

WHEN IT COMES TO CHARM,
SMARTS, AND CHARISMA,

SCHULTZ KNOWS HE'S
IN THE LOWER LEAGUES.

BUT HE IS READY TO SHOW
THE WORLD THAT,

WHEN IT COMES TO TERROR,

DUTCH SCHULTZ
IS A HEAVY HITTER.

*

*

Narrator:
YOUNG GANGSTER DUTCH SCHULTZ
WANTS TO BUILD

ONE OF THE MOST FEARED
BOOTLEGGING GANGS

IN PROHIBITION NEW YORK.

ABANDONED BY
HIS CRIMINAL MENTOR,

THE LEGENDARY ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN,

DUTCH HAS A POINT TO PROVE
TO THE CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD.

SO HE SENDS THEM A MESSAGE --

IF HE CAN'T BE RESPECTED,
HE WILL BE FEARED.

*

[ COUGHING ]

[ GROANING ]
[ PUNCHES LANDING ]

[ GASPING, COUGHING ]

[ GROANING ]

WHEN NEW YORK CITY
SPEAKEASY OWNER JOE ROCK

DECIDES TO MAKE A STAND
AGAINST SCHULTZ'S THUGS,

HE COULDN'T KNOW
THE PRICE HE'LL PAY

FOR REFUSING
THE MOBSTERS' BOOTLEG BEER.

SCHULTZ DECIDES TO MAKE
AN EXAMPLE OF HIM.

[ GROANING ]

Dezenhall:
DUTCH SCHULTZ IS A PSYCHOPATH.

SOMEBODY LIKE DUTCH SCHULTZ
HAS NO REMORSE.

HE HAS NO CONSCIENCE.

[ GROANING ]

Narrator:
ROCK ISN'T THE FIRST TO GET A
BEATING AT THE HANDS OF THE MOB,

BUT WHAT SCHULTZ DOES
NEXT TAKES GANGLAND RETRIBUTION

INTO A HORRIFIC NEW REALM.

[ GROANING ]

Hendley:
THEY HANG HIM UP BY HIS THUMBS
ON A MEAT HOOK,

TORTURE HIM IN VARIOUS
HORRIBLE WAYS,

AND THEN, JUST OUT
OF SHEER SPITE,

WRAP A BANDAGE
AROUND HIS EYES

THAT HAS BEEN LIBERALLY
DIPPED IN A GONORRHEAL SORE.

[ SCREAMING ]

Narrator:
AND ALTHOUGH ROCK'S FAMILY
PAY A RANSOM OF $35,000

FOR HIS FREEDOM,

ROCK EVENTUALLY GOES BLIND.

THE STORY OF JOE ROCK SPREADS

AND ENSURES THAT NO ONE WILL
EVER SAY "NO" TO DUTCH SCHULTZ.

HE'S NOW FEARED AS
THE BEER BARON OF THE BRONX.

DUTCH'S BRUTAL REGIME
SOON SEES HIS GANG

MAKING HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS A MONTH.

BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

SCHULTZ STILL HARBORS RESENTMENT
FOR BEING PASSED OVER

BY HIS ONE-TIME MENTOR.

SO THIS TIME, HE MAKES
A DIRECT ATTACK

ON THE EMPIRE OF
ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN.

HIS GANG TRY TO MUSCLE IN
ON A NOTORIOUS MOBSTER

BANKROLLED BY ROTHSTEIN --

MANHATTAN BOOTLEGGER
JACK "LEGS" DIAMOND.

*

BUT DIAMOND WON'T BACK DOWN,
AND SCHULTZ LEARNS

THAT SOMETIMES VIOLENCE
CAN LEVY A HEAVY PRICE.

DIAMOND HAS A
REPUTATION OF HIS OWN,

AND HIS GANG HITS BACK,

SHOOTING SCHULTZ'S
CLOSEST CONFIDANT, JOEY NOE.

*

*

Hendley:
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES
IN SCHULTZ'S ADULT LIFE

WHERE HE'S GENUINELY UPSET
BY SOMETHING HAPPENING

TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF.

JOEY WAS ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO COULD CALL SCHULTZ

BY HIS ORIGINAL NAME, ARTHUR,

WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SCHULTZ
LET ALMOST NO ONE DO.

Narrator:
NOE SUFFERS FOR THREE WEEKS
BEFORE DYING FROM HIS WOUNDS.

*

*

DUTCH HITS BACK.

DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS
TO KILL DIAMOND, SOMEHOW,

ROTHSTEIN'S MAN IN MANHATTAN
SURVIVES EACH ATTACK,

BUT DUTCH'S RELENTLESS
SAVAGERY WEARS DIAMOND DOWN,

AND HE SKIPS TOWN...

*

...LEAVING DUTCH SCHULTZ TO TAKE
OVER LEGS DIAMOND'S BUSINESS.

SCHULTZ NOW HAS A BIG PRESENCE
IN MANHATTAN,

BUT IS GREEDY FOR MORE.

*

AND WHEN HIS ONE-TIME MENTOR
IS KILLED IN A SHOOTING,

SCHULTZ THINKS
HE'S HIT THE BIG TIME.

[ GASPING ]

[ GROANS ]

ROTHSTEIN'S EMPIRE
IS NOW UP FOR GRABS,

AND SCHULTZ FEELS
HE'S IN A PRIME POSITION

TO ASSUME THE ROLE VACATED
BY THE DEATH OF THE MAFIA KING.

*

1929 -- AND WHEN SCHULTZ
TURNS UP TO A MOB MEETING

IN ATLANTIC CITY,

HE DISCOVERS THAT HE'S NOT
THE ONLY MOBSTER WITH A STAKE.

HEY, HEY.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

IT'S THE BIGGEST MEETING IN
THE HISTORY OF ORGANIZED CRIME.

TOP OF THE AGENDA
IS ROTHSTEIN'S EMPIRE.

LEADING THE MEETING IS DUTCH'S
ARCHRIVAL, LUCKY LUCIANO.

BUT LUCKY IS AFTER MORE

THAN A SLICE OF
ROTHSTEIN'S ORGANIZATION.

HE WANTS TO CREATE A LEGACY
IN HIS BOSS'S IMAGE,

AN END TO GANGLAND VIOLENCE,

AND A NEW ERA OF COOPERATION
BETWEEN THE FAMILIES.

LUCIANO PROPOSES A NEW WAY

FOR THE MOB TO BE RUN
LIKE A BUSINESS

AND WITH ITS VERY OWN
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THAT WILL COME TO BE
KNOWN AS THE COMMISSION.

IT WAS COMPOSED ESSENTIALLY
OF THE NEW YORK FAMILIES

AND OTHER FAMILIES
THAT THEY WELCOMED IN,

AND THEY WOULD BE SORT
OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL.

WHENEVER THERE WAS ANY DISPUTES,
THEY COULD RESOLVE IT.

*

Narrator: LUCKY, OF COURSE,
WILL BE ONE OF THE LEADERS

ON THIS NEW COMMISSION,

AND AS A BIG-TIME NEW YORK BOSS,
DUTCH EXPECTS TO JOIN HIM.

BUT VIOLENT REPUTATIONS
LIKE SCHULTZ'S

ARE EXACTLY WHAT THE MOB
NOW WANT TO AVOID.

Dezenhall: AS MUCH AS PEOPLE
THOUGHT ABOUT MOBSTERS,

THAT THEY WAS ALL
ABOUT DOMINANCE,

THE IRONY IS A LOT OF IT WAS,

"CAN YOU GET ALONG
WITH OTHER PEOPLE?"

Narrator:
LUCKY AND OTHER MOBSTERS
MAKE SURE THERE WILL NEVER BE

A PLACE FOR DUTCH SCHULTZ
ON THE COMMISSION.

AND WHEN ROTHSTEIN'S
RACKETS ARE SHARED OUT,

A LARGE PORTION GOES
TO LUCKY LUCIANO.

[ FIST SLAMS, GLASS BREAKS ]

DUTCH GETS NOTHING.

BACK IN THE DAY, BOTH MEN
WERE MENTORED BY ROTHSTEIN,

BUT SCHULTZ DIDN'T LISTEN.

NOW THE GOLDEN BOY LUCIANO
HAS EVERYTHING,

AND WHAT LITTLE SCHULTZ
HAS IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR.

*

1933 -- AND PROHIBITION
IS FINALLY REPEALED,

BRINGING AN END TO THE MOB'S
LUCRATIVE BUSINESS.

THE BEER BARON OF THE BRONX
IS LEFT HIGH AND DRY.

HE NEEDS A NEW BUSINESS PLAN,
AND FAST.

*

WITH LIQUOR NOW LEGAL,
DUTCH TURNS TO GAMBLING,

AND HE SPOTS A BUSINESS RIPE FOR
A HOSTILE TAKEOVER -- IN HARLEM.

*

HARLEM'S GAMBLING
RACKETS ARE THRIVING,

AND DUTCH SEES
THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN

AND HISPANIC ORGANIZATIONS

AS VULNERABLE TO HIS AGGRESSIVE
BRAND OF NEGOTIATIONS.

HE WAS NOT A GUY
WHO WAS REALLY ABLE

TO REACH ACCOMMODATIONS
WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

IT WAS HIS WAY OR YOU'RE DEAD.

Narrator:
SOON, SCHULTZ RUNS ALMOST
EVERY GAMBLING RACKET IN HARLEM.

HE ALSO MOVES INTO
PROTECTION RACKETS,

PUTTING IN CHARGE
HIS TRUSTED LIEUTENANT,

JULES MARTIN.

*

DUTCH AND HIS VIOLENT GANG
ARE BACK ON THE UP-AND-UP,

BUT DUTCH IS THE ONLY ONE
RAKING IN THE PROFITS.

WHILE LUCIANO'S EMPIRE GROWS
BY GIVING EVERYONE A STAKE,

DUTCH KEEPS IT ALL FOR HIMSELF,

PAYING HIS MOB
ONLY A MISERLY WAGE.

AND TO MAKE SURE NO ONE
IS RIPPING HIM OFF,

SCHULTZ BREAKS ANOTHER
OF ROTHSTEIN'S CARDINAL RULES --

HE KEEPS DETAILED LEDGERS
OF HIS PROFITS.

INEVITABLY, THERE'S A MUTINY.

*

WHEN ONE OF SCHULTZ'S
MOST TRUSTED GANG MEMBERS,

VINCENT COLL, DEMANDS A SHARE
OF SCHULTZ'S SUCCESS...

...DUTCH TURNS HIM DOWN FLAT.

Hendley: SCHULTZ IS JUST
TOO MUCH OF A HOTHEAD

AND HAS TOO MUCH PRIDE,
IN A WAY,

TO SORT OF GIVE IN TO
ANY OF VINCENT COLL'S DEMANDS,

AND HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE
THAT SORT OF COMPROMISING GENE

THAT PEOPLE LIKE
ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN,
LUCKY LUCIANO HAS.

Narrator: COLL IS FURIOUS.

*

SO BEGINS ONE OF THE BLOODIEST
FEUDS IN NEW YORK HISTORY.

IT'S THE KIND OF OPEN WARFARE
THAT LUCIANO IS TRYING TO END.

ACTING OUT MOB BUSINESS
ON THE STREETS

IS BOUND TO ATTRACT THE
ATTENTION OF THE GOVERNMENT.

THE HOTHEAD DUTCH SCHULTZ
HAS SET IN MOTION

A VIOLENT CHAIN OF EVENTS

THAT WILL EVENTUALLY
LEAD TO HIS DOWNFALL.

*

*

Narrator:
BRUTAL GANGSTER DUTCH SCHULTZ

FINDS HIMSELF
IN A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE

AS FORMER GANG MEMBER
AND CHILDHOOD FRIEND

VINCENT "MAD DOG" COLL

WAGES WAR FOR CONTROL
OF HIS CRIMINAL EMPIRE.

NEW YORK IS IN SHOCK.

NO ONE'S EVER SEEN
VIOLENCE LIKE THIS.

50 PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS
OF THE CITY IN NINE MONTHS.

[ SIRENS WAIL ]

BUT RIVAL GANGSTERS
LIKE LUCKY LUCIANO

FEAR THE DAMAGE BEING DONE
TO ORGANIZED CRIME

GOES FURTHER
THAN THE BODY COUNT.

LUCIANO REALIZED, IF YOU
COULD DO IT NONVIOLENTLY

AND GET AWAY WITH IT,

IT WAS A LOT BETTER
THAN DOING IT VIOLENTLY,

THAT, IN THE LONG RUN,
TOO MUCH VIOLENCE

BROUGHT TOO MUCH ATTENTION --

TOO MUCH ATTENTION
FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT --

AND THAT COULD
BE YOUR UNDOING.

Narrator:
WHILE THE HEAD COUNT STAYS
WITHIN RIVAL GANGS,

THE WAR IS TOLERATED.

*

BUT WHEN IT SPREADS TO
INNOCENT BYSTANDERS,

THE SITUATION RAPIDLY CHANGES.

Hendley: THAT LED INTO
THE HORRIFIC INCIDENT

IN WHICH VINCENT COLL
AND HIS GANGSTERS

SHOT UP A BUNCH OF CHILDREN
BY TRYING TO HIT

ONE OF DUTCH SCHULTZ'S
ASSOCIATES ON THE STREET.

*

Narrator:
FOUR CHILDREN ARE HIT.

5-YEAR-OLD MICHAEL VENGALLI
LATER DIES IN THE HOSPITAL.

IN THIS NEWSREEL,
YOUNG MOURNERS POINT

TO WHERE THE BULLETS SPRAYED.

*

LUCKY LUCIANO WANTS THE WAR
TO JUST GO AWAY.

AND IT DOES...

BUT ONLY AFTER SCHULTZ'S
MEN TRACK COLL DOWN

AND BLAST HIM TO DEATH
IN A PHONE BOOTH.

*

IT'S A BLOODY AND PUBLIC END
TO A BLOODY AND PUBLIC WAR.

*

BUT IT BRINGS ABOUT
A NEW THREAT FOR DUTCH.

*

JUST AS LUCIANO PREDICTS,

THE GOVERNMENT COME
AFTER ORGANIZED CRIME

IN THE SHAPE OF NEW
AND AMBITIOUS

CHIEF ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
THOMAS DEWEY.

FOR 20 YEARS, THE UNDERWORLD
HAS PREYED ON OUR PEOPLE

AND ROBBED THEM AND THEN
FRIGHTENED THEM INTO SILENCE,

BUT NOW THE DAY OF FEAR OF THE
GANGSTER IS COMING TO AN END.

Narrator:
DEWEY WANTS TO PUBLICLY
TAKE DOWN A BIG-TIME GANGSTER.

BUT WITH LIMITED RESOURCES,

HE MUST PRIORITIZE BETWEEN
THE TWO BIG NAMES IN NEW YORK --

LUCKY LUCIANO...

OR DUTCH SCHULTZ.

Dezenhall: DUTCH SCHULTZ
WAS WILD.

HE WAS HIGHLY PUBLIC.

HE WAS SEEN IN NIGHTSPOTS
LIKE THE COTTON CLUB.

HE WAS FLASHY
IN A REPULSIVE WAY,

AND IT MADE HIM
AN EASY TARGET.

*

Narrator:
INEVITABLY, SCHULTZ IS SEEN
AS THE PRIORITY TARGET.

AFTER THE HIGH-PROFILE
HUMILIATION

OF CHICAGO MOB BOSS AL CAPONE
ON TAX-EVASION CHARGES,

DEWEY GOES AFTER SCHULTZ'S
BUSINESS RECORDS.

BIG-TIME RACKETEERS LIKE LUCIANO

AND HIS FORMER MENTOR,
ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN,

KNEW TO KEEP THEIR LEDGERS

FAR FROM THE PRYING EYES
OF THE STATE'S TAX MEN.

BUT SCHULTZ'S
SCRUPULOUS BOOKKEEPING,

DESIGNED TO SPOT PILFERING
BY ANY OF HIS GANGSTERS,

NOW LIGHT UP DUTCH'S CRIMINAL
ENTERPRISE LIKE BROADWAY.

DEWEY HAS ALL THE EVIDENCE
HE NEEDS TO BRING SCHULTZ DOWN.

*

IN JANUARY 1933, DUTCH SCHULTZ
IS INDICTED FOR TAX EVASION

AND NOW FACES AN EXTRAORDINARY
43 YEARS IN PRISON.

EVENTUALLY, SCHULTZ TAKES A PAGE
OUT OF ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN'S BOOK,

THE MENTOR HE'S COME TO HATE.

IT'S BECOME A STAPLE WEAPON
IN THE MOB'S ARSENAL --

THE BIG BRIBE.

Hendley: SCHULTZ, FOR ONCE,
ACTS RATIONALLY --

THAT HE DOES SEND
ONE HIS MINIONS TO WASHINGTON

TO TRY TO SORT OF
SORT THINGS OUT

AND IMPLICITLY OFFER
A BIT OF A BRIBE,

AND THIS IS TURNED DOWN COLD,

AND SCHULTZ IS GENUINELY
SURPRISED BY THIS

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
IN HIS EXPERIENCE,

ALMOST EVERY POLITICIAN
HE'S ENCOUNTERED CAN BE BRIBED.

Narrator:
WHEN THE BRIBE DOESN'T WORK,
SCHULTZ GOES INTO HIDING.

THE POLICE DISTRIBUTE
50,000 "WANTED" POSTERS.

AND AFTER NEARLY
TWO YEARS ON THE RUN,

THE GOVERNMENT DECLARES SCHULTZ
AS PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE.

*

FEARING THE G-MEN
MIGHT GUN HIM DOWN,

AS THEY HAD FORMER PUBLIC ENEMY
NUMBER ONE JOHN DILLINGER,

DUTCH DECIDES HE NEEDS TO BE
AROUND TO FACE THE MUSIC,

AND HE TURNS HIMSELF IN.

EVERYONE --
EVEN HIS OWN GANG MEMBERS --

THINK DUTCH'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

*

AFTER A PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT
BY HIS LAWYERS,

A FEW DAYS LATER, DUTCH IS OUT,

BUT ON A MASSIVE $75,000 BAIL.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE AND
WITH HIS COURT CASE PENDING,

SCHULTZ IS FREE TO SHORE
UP HIS CRUMBLING EMPIRE.

HE CALLS A MEETING WITH HIS
CLOSE LIEUTENANT, JULES MARTIN,

TO APPARENTLY
DISCUSS STRATEGY.

BUT DUTCH KNOWS ONLY
ONE STRATEGY -- DEATH.

DUTCH HAS HEARD RUMORS

THAT MARTIN HAS STOLEN $70,000
FROM HIM --

MONEY DUTCH NOW
DESPERATELY NEEDS.

WHEN SCHULTZ CALMLY CONFRONTS
HIS LIEUTENANT,

MARTIN CONFESSES,
BUT TO A LESSER AMOUNT,

CLAIMING HE'S ONLY
STOLEN $20,000.

IF HE THINKS THAT'S ENOUGH
TO BUY HIS LIFE, HE'S MISTAKEN.

*

Hendley: HE DOES NOT REACT
VERY WELL AT ALL

WHEN HIS PERSONAL ASSOCIATES
SORT OF TURN ON HIM.

HE TAKES THIS PERSONALLY, AND
HE TAKES HIS REVENGE PERSONALLY.

Narrator:
EVEN WITH THE POLICE AND PRESS
WATCHING HIS EVERY STEP,

DUTCH CAN'T HELP HIMSELF.

Hendley:
SCHULTZ PULLED OUT A GUN,
PUT IT IN JULES' MOUTH,

AND PULLED THE TRIGGER.

[ GUNSHOT ]

*

Narrator: WITH HIS HIGH-PROFILE
COURT CASE ON THE HORIZON,

EVEN FOR SCHULTZ, THE KILLING
OF MARTIN IS A RECKLESS ACT.

*

DUTCH'S DAY IN COURT
FINALLY ARRIVES IN JULY 1935.

Reporter: ARRIVING
TO FACE THE JURY IN NEW YORK

WAS ARTHUR FLEGENHEIMER,
RIGHT --

MORE FAMOUS, OR INFAMOUS,
AS DUTCH SCHULTZ,

PROHIBITION MOBSTER
AND BEER BARON.

Narrator: SCHULTZ'S TRIAL IS THE
NEWSREEL STORY OF THE DAY.

DUTCH'S LAWYERS ARGUE
THAT A TRIAL IN NEW YORK

WILL NOT BE FAIR,

AND THE JUDGE AGREES TO MOVE
THE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

TO A SMALL TOWN CALLED MALONE
ON THE CANADIAN BORDER.

SCHULTZ NOW DOES SOMETHING
COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER

AND ACTS MORE LIKE
HIS ARCHRIVAL, LUCKY LUCIANO.

*

Dezenhall: DUTCH SCHULTZ LEARNED
ENOUGH FROM LUCIANO

TO DO SOMETHING VERY SMART
WHEN HE WAS ON TRIAL.

HE WENT TO UPSTATE NEW YORK,
AND HE BOUGHT THE TOWN.

HE BEGAN TO BRIBE PEOPLE.

HE BEGAN TO TRY TO BE CHARMING.

HE ENDED UP BECOMING
QUITE POPULAR.

HE BECAME A PART
OF THE COMMUNITY.

Narrator:
DUTCH EVEN EMPLOYS LOCAL LAWYERS
AND PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY

TO REPRESENT HIM.

*

THE USUALLY VIOLENT
AND BRUTAL SCHULTZ...

[ GROANING ]

...A MOBSTER WHO'S MADE MILLIONS

THROUGH HIS VICIOUS
REPUTATION...

[ GUNSHOT ]

...IS NOW GAMBLING
HIS ENTIRE LIFE

ON A DIFFERENT WAY
OF GANGSTER BUSINESS --

BRIBES.

THE QUESTION IS,

HAS DUTCH SCHULTZ
MADE THE RIGHT DECISION?

Narrator: IN 1935, BIG-TIME
GANG BOSS DUTCH SCHULTZ,

SEEN HERE ON THE RIGHT,
IS ON TRIAL FOR TAX EVASION

AFTER BEING HUNTED DOWN
BY PUBLIC ATTORNEY THOMAS DEWEY.

DUTCH TRIES TO FIX THE RESULT

BY SHOWERING BRIBES
ON THE SMALL TOWN

WHERE HIS TRIAL TAKES PLACE.

BUT IS IT TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE?

*

EVERYONE THINKS
DUTCH IS GOING DOWN,

INCLUDING THE MEMBERS
OF HIS OWN GANG.

*

BUT DUTCH'S BRIBES PAY OFF.

THE JURY FINDS
SCHULTZ NOT GUILTY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

SCHULTZ IS GENUINELY
SURPRISED AT HIS VICTORY.

AND DUTCH ISN'T THE ONLY ONE.

THE SMALL-TOWN
JUDGE IS APPALLED.

Reppetto: THE JUDGE RULED LATER
THAT THOSE FOLKS

COULD NEVER SERVE
ON ANOTHER JURY.

HE SAID, "THIS DECISION
IS AGAINST THE EVIDENCE".

Narrator:
DUTCH BEATS THE GOVERNMENT
FOR TAX EVASION.

BUT ON HIS RETURN TO NEW YORK,

SCHULTZ DISCOVERS
THAT THOMAS DEWEY

IS GOING TO DOUBLE HIS EFFORTS
TO BRING HIM DOWN.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE DUTCHMAN
HAS NOWHERE TO HIDE.

*

DEWEY HAD HIS FINGER
POINTING AT SCHULTZ,

AND SCHULTZ FOUND OUT ABOUT IT,

AND THAT TURNED HIM
INTO A PARANOID,

THAT HE KNEW THAT IF DEWEY
WAS AFTER HIM, HE MIGHT GET HIM,

AND DUTCH SCHULTZ'S ANSWER
TO EVERYTHING WAS BLOODSHED.

Narrator:
SCHULTZ DOESN'T WANT TO LEARN

AND TURNS AGAIN TO VIOLENCE
TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEMS.

HE CHOOSES TO HIT THOMAS DEWEY.

IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST-PROFILE
MOB HIT EVER.

*

BUT ONE THING STANDS
IN SCHULTZ'S WAY --

GOLDEN BOY LUCKY LUCIANO

AND HIS NEWLY
CREATED COMMISSION.

Hendley: THE COMMISSION IS
SORT OF A, YOU KNOW --

IMAGINE IT AS A BOARD
OF DIRECTORS

FOR ORGANIZED CRIME IN AMERICA,

BUT IT'S BASICALLY
RUN BY LUCKY LUCIANO

AND SOME VERY CLOSE ALLIES,

SORT OF, TO, YOU KNOW,
MAKE DECISIONS

AND MAKE APPROVALS
FOR ASSASSINATIONS.

Narrator: SCHULTZ IS FORCED
TO PUT HIS PLAN

TO KILL ONE OF THE MOST
FAMOUS PROSECUTORS IN THE U.S.

TO HIS PEERS.

AND ALTHOUGH LUCIANO
HAS NO INTENTION

OF ALLOWING SCHULTZ
TO KILL DEWEY,

HE REALIZES THAT
HIS FORMER STABLEMATE

IS TOO HOTHEADED
TO BRUSH OFF.

SO LUCIANO INDULGES
THE WILD DUTCHMAN

AND COMMISSIONS THE MOB'S
TOP HIT MAN, ALBERT ANASTASIA,

TO SCOPE OUT
A HIT ON DEWEY.

ANASTASIA SPENDS DAYS
CASING DEWEY'S APARTMENT,

POSING AS A DOTING FATHER,
FAKE PRAM INCLUDED.

WHEN HE REPORTS BACK
TO THE COMMISSION,

IT ISN'T WHAT LUCIANO
WANTS TO HEAR.

ANASTASIA TELLS THE MEETING
HE CAN HIT DEWEY

WHEN HE MAKES HIS MORNING CALLS

FROM A PHONE BOOTH
OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT.

DUTCH THINKS HE'S GOT
THE GO-AHEAD HE NEEDS.

BUT THEN LUCKY TALKS
TO THE OTHER MOB BOSSES.

Reppetto: LUCIANO SAID,
"IF HE KILLS DEWEY,

HE'LL BRING THE WHOLE WORLD
DOWN AROUND OUR EARS.

THE WHOLE WORLD
WILL DROP ON US HERE.

WE CAN'T LET HIM DO THAT."

*

Narrator: SCHULTZ IS DESPERATE
TO PULL THE PLUG ON DEWEY.

BUT THE DECISION RESTS IN THE
HANDS OF THE GOLDEN-BOY MOBSTER,

LUCKY LUCIANO,

THE GANGSTER WHO WON OUT IN
ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN'S ATTENTIONS,

WHO TOOK CONTROL OF MUCH
OF ROTHSTEIN'S EMPIRE...

...AND WHOSE QUIET,
STRATEGIC APPROACH

HAS MADE SCHULTZ
LOOK LIKE AN AMATEUR

AND THE OUTSIDER
HE'S ALWAYS DESTINED TO BE.

LUCKY KNOWS IF THEY STOP
SCHULTZ KILLING DEWEY,

IT MEANS CERTAIN JAIL FOR DUTCH.

IF THEY SAY "YES",
THE GOVERNMENT

WILL TURN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE
ON ORGANIZED CRIME.

LUCKY DELIVERS THE COMMISSION'S
FINAL VERDICT...

*

NO.

IT'S A "NO".

Hendley: SCHULTZ IS APPALLED,
AND HE FEELS, AGAIN,

A SENSE OF BETRAYAL.

SCHULTZ JUST COMPLETELY
LOSES HIS TEMPER, YOU KNOW --

BASICALLY LOSES
HIS MIND, AND SAYS,

"I DON'T CARE WHAT
THE COMMISSION HAS TO SAY.

I DON'T CARE WHAT
LUCKY LUCIANO HAS TO SAY.

I'M GOING TO DO THIS MYSELF."

Narrator:
THE COMMISSION NOW HAVE TO
DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH SCHULTZ.

Dezenhall: WHEN DUTCH SCHULTZ
LEAVES THE ROOM,

THE COMMISSION KNOWS
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM,

AND THEY KNOW WHAT
THE SOLUTION IS,

AND THE SOLUTION IS
TO KILL DUTCH SCHULTZ.

Narrator:
HAVING DARED TO QUESTION
THE AUTHORITY

OF THE NEWLY FORMED COMMISSION,

SCHULTZ HAS SIGNED
HIS OWN DEATH WARRANT.

THE ONLY QUESTION NOW IS,
WILL THE MOB GET TO SCHULTZ

BEFORE SCHULTZ
GETS TO DEWEY?

*

*

Narrator:
THE STORY OF DUTCH SCHULTZ
IS ABOUT TO ENTER ITS FINAL ACT.

THE NEWLY FORMED MAFIA
COOPERATIVE, THE COMMISSION,

TELLS DUTCH SCHULTZ

TO LEAVE STATE ATTORNEY
THOMAS DEWEY UNHARMED.

BUT NOW THEY FEAR SCHULTZ
IS ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING RASH.

IF SCHULTZ GOES AFTER DEWEY,

THEY KNOW IT WILL BRING
THE FULL FORCE OF U.S. JUSTICE

DOWN ON ORGANIZED CRIME.

DEWEY HEARS WHISPERS OF A HIT

AND IS PROTECTED BY
A SHIELD OF BODYGUARDS,

BUT IT'S THE COMMISSION
WHO STRIKE FIRST.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

OCTOBER 23, 1935 --

SCHULTZ IS
AT HIS FAVORITE RESTAURANT,

THE PALACE CHOP HOUSE
IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

Hendley:
A LOT OF MORE CAUTIOUS GANGSTERS

WILL EAT IN A DIFFERENT
RESTAURANT EVERY NIGHT,

CHANGE THEIR SCHEDULE.

SCHULTZ DIDN'T.

HE JUST PICKED THE SAME PLACE,

AND THEY WOULD HAVE OFTEN
THE SAME MEAL, STEAK AND FRIES,

AND MEET WITH THE SAME PEOPLE,

SO HIS ENEMIES KNEW THIS
AND PLOTTED AN ASSASSINATION.

Narrator: DUTCH LEAVES THE TABLE
TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

*

MOMENTS LATER, TWO MEN
ENTER THE RESTAURANT.

HIT MEN
CHARLIE "THE BUG" WORKMAN

AND EMANUEL "MENDY" WEISS

PULL OUT
A .38-CALIBER REVOLVER...

...AND A DOUBLE-BARRELED
SHOTGUN.

*

*

Reppetto: THE GUNMEN CAME IN
AND BEGAN FIRING.

[ GUNSHOTS ]

SOME OF THE GUYS WHO WERE
WITH HIM WERE SHOT SIX TIMES.

Narrator:
BUT THE KILLERS CAN'T FIND
THE MAN THEY'VE COME FOR.

Reppetto:
THE KILLERS DIDN'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE DUTCH WAS.

[ GUN COCKS ]

AND THEY WENT INTO THE BATHROOM,
AND DUTCH WAS THERE,

AND SO THEY JUST BLASTED HIM.

DUTCH!

*

Narrator: THE TWO ASSASSINS
MAKE THEIR ESCAPE

AS DUTCH EMERGES
FROM THE BATHROOM.

Hendley: SCHULTZ STUMBLES OVER
TO A TABLE,

SITS DOWN HARD
AS IF HE WAS DRUNK,

AND THEN SPLAYS HIS FACE
AND ARMS ON THE TABLE.

HE'S STILL WEARING HIS FEDORA
AND HIS OVERCOAT.

THIS PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS
BECOMES A GANGSTER CLASSIC.

Narrator: SCHULTZ IS
STILL ALIVE -- JUST.

HE'S RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL.

FOR LUCIANO AND THE COMMISSION,
THIS COULD BE A CATASTROPHE.

*

IF DUTCH THOUGHT HE STILL
HAD FRIENDS IN THE MOB,

HE SOON LEARNS THE BITTER TRUTH.

AS HE LIES ON HIS DEATHBED,
HE GETS A TELEGRAM.

IT'S FROM ONE OF
THE HARLEM GANGSTERS

DUTCH THREATENED
AS A GANGLAND BOSS.

THE TELEGRAM IS A LINE
FROM THE BIBLE.

IT READS, "AS YE SOW,
SO SHALL YE REAP".

ON THE 24th OF OCTOBER, 1935,
DUTCH SCHULTZ DIES.

HE IS 33 YEARS OLD.

*

LUCIANO AND THE COMMISSION
MEET AFTER SCHULTZ'S DEATH

TO QUIETLY DIVIDE
UP HIS EMPIRE.

Hendley:
THE IMMEDIATE BENEFICIARY OF
SCHULTZ'S DEATH IS LUCKY LUCIANO

BECAUSE HE'S THE UNOFFICIAL HEAD

OF THE ORGANIZED CRIME
IN UNITED STATES.

HIS PEERS -- THEY SORT OF CARVE
UP SCHULTZ'S EMPIRE,

AND LUCKY LUCIANO HELPS HIMSELF
TO A NICE, BIG PORTION.

Narrator:
DUTCH LOST EVERYTHING

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEE
HOW THE MOB WAS CHANGING.

[ GROANING ]

DUTCH SCHULTZ WAS HATED
BECAUSE HE WAS UNPREDICTABLE,

AND THE THING THAT
THESE GUYS DID NOT WANT

AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY

WAS SOMEBODY WHO WOULD
END UP KILLING THEM.

[ GUNSHOT ]

Narrator:
SCHULTZ DIDN'T SEE HOW LUCIANO
WANTED THE MOB TO WORK TOGETHER,

OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE.

DUTCH WAS SIMPLY BAD
FOR MOB BUSINESS --

TOO PUBLIC, TOO SELFISH,
AND, ULTIMATELY, TOO DANGEROUS.

DUTCH SCHULTZ HAS
ENTERED MOB HISTORY

AS THE BOSS EVERYONE
LOVED TO HATE --

A BLACK SHEEP WHO
MADE MANY ENEMIES

AND INVENTED CRUEL
WAYS TO KILL THEM.

Reppetto:
DUTCH WAS WILD AND DEFIANT

AND KILLED, YOU KNOW,
WITHOUT EVEN THINKING.

Narrator: DUTCH SCHULTZ WAS
THE LAST MOB BOSS

TO THINK THAT HE ALONE
COULD STAND UP

TO THE MIGHT OF LUCKY LUCIANO
AND THE AMERICAN MAFIA,

AND HE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE.
