The Untouchables (1959–1963): Season 1, Episode 6 - Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll - full transcript

That lucky Dutchman.

That lucky Dutchman.

FATS: That's why
I was late, Vinnie.

I heard it on the radio.

Well, it looks like you
can't beat the Dutchman.

Yeah? I can't beat him, huh?

He ain't gonna
pay off now. Yeah.

Okay. That's okay.

Here he saved a
hundred grand. Right there.

And right here
he's gonna lose it.

He's gonna lose it
on this nag right here.



( dramatic theme playing)

And I'm gonna
see to it personal.

And Lawrence Dobkin.

( dramatic theme playing)

NARRATOR: In the month
of February in the early '30s,

three widely separate
events occurred.

At Churchill Downs, the
entries for the Kentucky Derby

were closed.



In Tijuana, Mexico,
a gambling syndicate

accepted a huge
bet in the Winter Book

on one of those entries.

The bet came from New York City,

from a phone in a building
on the west side of Manhattan.

It was placed for
a sallow-faced,

tight-fisted man,

named Arthur Flegenheimer Jr.,

better known as the Dutchman.

Dutch Schultz, beer
baron of New York,

who, with his bodyguard,
Benny Bristow,

and his chief lieutenant,
Lefty Gallagher,

sat in his office
figuring the take

from his criminal empire,

while outside three men waited.

Fats Finney, Needles Bledsoe,

and their leader, a man
who had a vindictive hatred

for Dutch Schultz,

a man who was one of
the most fantastic gangsters

of that era, Vincent
"Mad Dog" Coll.

We, uh, give it
another half an hour?

If we have to, we
give it another year.

If it's the last thing we
do, we'll put the blocks

to the Dutchman.

Mm-hm.

All right.

All right, that's okay.

Dutch? Yeah, wait a minute.

All right.

It checks out. The
take's holding up good.

Did you get that placed? Right.

One hundred grand
in the Winter Book

on Enchantment to
win the Kentucky Derby.

We average, uh, 7-to-1 odds.

7-for-1.

But a lot of things can
happen between now

and the day of that derby.

You know, anything
can happen to that horse.

Personally, I think we
should hang on to the dough,

bet it at the track

on the day of the derby.

And get 8-to-5?

Me, I like that 7-for-1.

But if Enchantment don't run,

then we lose the
whole 100 grand.

They don't give you
your money back.

Lefty, you just keep the
beer trucks rolling out,

the policy slips rolling in,

and your advice to yourself.

Let me worry about the money.

Okay, Dutch.

Anything you say.

Okay if I go now? Yeah.

There's a little dame down
at the Club Durant that I...

Go, go, go. Just get back
here in the morning, will you?

Right, Dutch.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Hmm.

Jeez.

( ominous theme playing)

Hello, Lefty.

Oh, hello, Needles.

What are you doing
in this neighborhood?

I thought you got
tied up with Mad Dog.

VINNIE: Yeah,
that's right, Lefty.

He did.

Oh, uh, h-hello, Vinnie.

I-I hope you know I
didn't mean nothing

by that "Mad Dog."

Yeah, it's all right,
Lefty, it's all right.

Let's walk. Walk?

Yeah, come on. Let's walk.

(tires squeal)

(horn honks)

Look, look, Vinnie,

I never did you nothing.

Why, uh, you work
for the Dutchman.

Uh...

Look, Vinnie. Yeah?

He's up there now
alone with Bristow.

Be coming down in a couple
of minutes. You could...

Heh-heh! What do you mean?

You put a slug
in his belly, huh?

You want that, Lefty?

I don't think so.
I'll tell you why.

'Cause that'd only make him
bleed from his guts, you know.

You know what I mean?

I wanna make him bleed

the way it hurts the
most, Lefty, you know.

In the pocketbook, huh?

Why don't you get in the car?

(Vinnie grunts)

Watch where you're
going, you big...!

Why, you stupid
little... Vinnie!

Get in the car.

Ma.

Ma!

I heard you were in New
York digging into the rackets.

I figured you'd be interested
in anything to do with Dutch.

Captain, captain.

You won't let anything
happen to Tommy, my son.

He's in there now.

Those gangsters...
Now, Mrs. Clover,

don't you worry, we'll
take good care of him.

Big as a cannon.

Did we miss much?

CAPTAIN: I don't think Tommy
will mind going over it again, will you?

From the beginning?
Yes. From the beginning,

Tommy... Clover. This
is Tommy Clover. Hi.

I'm Eliot Ness.

You're him?

The guy that got Al Capone?

Yes, but that's past.

Now we wanna hear
your story, Tommy.

Yeah, sure.

Well, you see, I'm
playing on the street,

with the scooter my
old man made for me,

when these three guys
come down the block.

What'd they look like? Guys.

One was a big guy

and the other was
short and skinny.

And the guy in the middle
was a real snazzy dresser.

Seen him on the block
before. His name's Lefty.

Gallagher. The
Dutchman's stooge?

That's the way we figure it.

Go on, Tommy. Like I say,

they're coming down
the block and I'm scooting,

only they ain't looking.

So I bump into one of 'em,

the short, skinny one.

So I'm sore and I
start to tell him off,

when he pulls this gun on me.

Gee, what a gun.

Real, with bullets.

It looked like a cannon.

He would've shot
me dead right there,

only the big guy
yells, "Vinnie!"

Vincent.

Vincent Coll.

I don't know. Maybe.

Anyways, he shoves the gun

in the middle of
the other guy's ribs,

and they all get
in the car and lam.

Did you see who was driving?

No. I never seen him.

I'm sorry.

Don't be, Tommy.
You're doing fine.

Is this the man
they called Vinnie?

Yeah, that's him. That's him.

Want me to tell it again? No.

All that talking
makes a fellow thirsty.

Here.

Go buy yourself a soda. Thanks.

Thank you, Tommy.

What do you think? A ride?

If it's the Dutchman,
I'd say a ride.

Coll's hated his insides

ever since the Dutchman
pinned that "Mad Dog" label on him

when he was working
for Schultz running beer.

But Lefty Gallagher?

Kidnapping?

That's the way
we're gonna play it.

It gives us a chance to nose
around the Schultz setup.

Keep him under surveillance.
Something's bound to develop.

Thanks, captain. Sure.

Captain.

Oh, uh, you'll keep
an eye on the kid.

Sure, 24 hours a day.

Good.

(knock at door)

They made you, Vinnie.

The kid was picked up by
the cops and questioned.

What do you...? The kid.

The kid.

If you'd have
kept your yap shut.

What'd you want me to
do? Let you blast him?

If you gunned down that
kid, you'd have real trouble.

Big heat that wouldn't let
up until they burned you.

Not if he was dead.
Not if he was dead,

they wouldn't burn nobody.

I got your milk
for you, Needles.

(meowing)

Heh! Even Lefty's in the paper.

What'd they say?

They figure they'll find him

at the bottom of the East
River wrapped in concrete.

Or in a pit in New
Jersey covered with lime.

Yeah?

That's a laugh, huh?

(laughing)

(chuckles)

Ain't that a laugh,
Lefty, huh? Huh?

Yeah.

Look, uh, Vinnie. Huh?

You wouldn't do
anything like... What?

Well, you wouldn't do
anything like what they said.

What? Me? You... You mean me?

What do you...?
No, I... (chuckles)

Well, now, look, Vinnie,
what do you intend on...?

Well, I mean... wh-why me?

Why? Why? Why? Yeah, I know...

I-I know, I know what
you mean. Yeah, why?

Well, I'll tell you, Lefty.

You see, I... I
heard, I don't know,

I just heard that
you was a big help,

I mean a big help, see,
to the Dutchman. Yeah.

I don't know, I just
heard. And I need help.

I need help, you know.

I need a... I need a secretary.

What? I need a secretary.

Yeah, that's it. I
need a secretary.

(chuckling)

Yeah, yeah, go. As a
matter of fact, I, uh...

I, uh, got some notes...

Got some notes I wanna dictate.

I wanna dictate right now.

Uh... I want you to
take 'em down, see?

Just like, uh...
Just like I say.

Go ahead, Vinnie. Shoot.

(laughing)

Go ahead. Yeah.

Uh, dear Dutch, uh,
I'm with Vinnie Coll.

It's a snatch.

And before he'll let
me go he wants...

How much you think I
should ask for, Lefty?

You see, word's
around that, uh...

Well, that you're kinda

the Dutchman's
right arm, you know.

And, uh, now, if a guy was
gonna slice off my right arm...

I mean, you know, slice it off.

I'd pay a lot to stop him. Huh.

I'd pay, uh... I'd
pay, uh... Yeah.

I'd pay 100,000 bucks.

Oh, now wait a minute, Vinnie...

Put it down, Lefty!

A hundred grand!

Huh?!

Uh, now, Vinnie... You...

All right, look, you
know the Dutchman.

You know how tight
he is with a buck.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I worked for him, remember?!

Uh...

Twenty-five grand.

Or maybe even 50 grand. Huh?

Oh, but he won't
go for 100,00 bucks.

FATS: He's putting
that much on a horse.

Huh? It's in Winchell's column.

He put 100 grand on Enchantment
to win the Kentucky Derby

with the Winter Book in Tijuana.

Wha...?

A hundred grand on a horse?

Hey, hey, hey, look at this.

Look at that, Lefty,
right there. Huh?

Now you should
be worth at least...

Just at least as
much as a horse.

Know what I mean?

So put it down,
Lefty, put it down.

He wants 100,000 bucks...

before he'll spring me.

Then you sign it.

Sign it, Lefty.

That's right. Hey, hey, hey,

that's nice handwriting
there, real nice.

Now a second note. Huh?

Dear Dutch...

Well, I mean, Lefty,
I-I... Like you say,

I know the Dutchman.

I mean, I know him.
You gotta squeeze him.

You gotta squeeze him real
hard to get a buck outta him!

Hm?!

So...

Write it down there.

Dear Dutch,

he'll kill me.

Well, I mean it. Put
"he'll kill me" down there.

If you don't, uh, pay up.

Yeah.

So send the 100
grand like he says.

Just like he says.

And sign that.

Go on, sign it.

Yeah, that's nice.

That should be enough.

Yeah. I mean, uh,
when you figure

the Dutchman's gonna put
100,000 bucks on a horse...

On a horse, I mean...

But just in case it
ain't, uh... why...?

Why don't we have another note?

I mean, just in case.

(meows)

Uh, only this time
you write it, Lefty,

you write it.

Uh, I got a hunch
you can do it better.

Better than me. Uh,
by yourself. By yourself.

Say anything you like.

You... You even tell him

I've been mean to you.

(laughs)

I've been mean
to you. (chuckling)

You just write it.

( mellow theme playing)

You finished, Lefty?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Here you are.

Why don't you read it, Needles?

"Dutch, for God's sake,

"give him the 100 grand.

"Give him the dough.
I'll make it up to you,

"I'll pay you somehow.

"Dutch, I'm begging you,
on the grave of my mother,

"give it to him.

Please."

Okay, Vinnie?

Yeah, that's all right,
Lefty, that's all right.

(grunting)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(gunshots)

Needles, why don't
you get the notes?

Those we need, him we don't.

Fats, you stow
him in the closet.

(door opens)

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

The kidnapping
of Lefty Gallagher

was a two-day sensation.

On the third day he was
shoved off the front pages

by a blonde from the Follies,

who was suing her sugar daddy,

and a mechanic who had
killed his wife and three children

because he couldn't find a job.

Lefty had been forgotten
by nearly everyone

but Eliot Ness...

and the man who was
feeling his pocket being picked,

Dutch Schultz.

A hundred grand.

That's 100,000 bucks.

That's the third note,

and Lefty sounds kinda worried.

You gonna pay it? Why,
you think he's still alive?

Well, the boys
think he is. Ah...

Will you look at this?

"Toss the money
into a garbage can

near the picnic
table at Foster Park."

That's just like Coll,
ain't it? He's nuts.

A mad dog. Never had
no respect for a buck.

"Toss the money
in a garbage can."

Are you gonna do it?

How are the boys talking?

Unhappy.

They figure if you
won't go to bat for Lefty,

you won't go to bat for them.

And that can be bad
for business. I know.

All right.

Here are the keys to the vaults.

And you know
where the banks are.

You deliver the money
like he says. Ungh!

Tomorrow.

Okay, Dutch.

(door opens)

(chuckles, door closes)

A hundred thousand bucks.

Tossed into a garbage can.

( suspenseful theme playing)

What do say, what do you
say? How do you like it?

Well, the Dutchman
sure won't set no trap.

That's right, but for
insurance, Needles,

you and me, we're
gonna stay all night,

right up there.

Just in case he tries
to stake out this place

with some of his boys.

Dutchman's due here

noon tomorrow
with the dough, see,

so I want you to be
back here by 11, Fats.

Right here, on the dot.
Not right here on the dot.

Right over by the
bridge, see, right there.

Just in case, uh you see more
than one car coming up here,

anything looks like
trouble, I want you to signal

with your headlights. Got it?

All right.

We'll be ready for 'em, huh?

(chuckles)

We'll be ready for 'em, huh?

Working out of an
office in a federal building

in New York,

Eliot Ness and the Untouchables

stood ready to move

at the first sign of action

from either Dutch
Schultz or Vincent Coll.

Still nothing? No.

Enrico is still tailing
Benny Bristow.

Youngfellow's still out at
the stakeout. Nothing else.

We'll wait.

I don't see it, Eliot.

The word's out that
Gallagher's been kidnapped.

That should give us a chance
to move in on... On Schultz

and start pushing
him around a little.

We got a chance to do a lot
more than just push him around.

If Coll grabbed
Gallagher, he's gonna ask

for a big chunk of money.

Agreed.

If the Dutchman digs it up,

the tax bureau
could be interested

in where he got that cash.

Particularly in light of
these tax returns of his

that I've been reading.

So if he pays the ransom,

that should give us a chance
to pick up Coll for kidnapping

and at the same
time, get the Dutchman

for income-tax evasion.

A chance. Not a big
one, but a chance.

Worth waiting for?

( ominous theme playing)

(knock on door)

WOMAN: Mr. Smith? (cat meowing)

Mr. Smith?

(knocking on door)

Mr. Smith?

(door opens)

( dramatic theme playing)

Did you catch the doctor? Yeah.

He said he's been
dead four days.

The day he was kidnapped.
FLAHERTY: Eliot?

They were certainly big eaters.

Must have been
four or five of them.

Look at this. Bread wrappers,
cake wrappers and candy.

They bought it by
the carton not the bar.

Probably the last
letter Lefty ever wrote.

He must have been scared green.

No one heard any shots?
No one in the building.

Unless they're too
frightened to say.

What's with the paper?

Item circled in
Winchell's column.

A hundred thousand
in the Winter Book.

That's probably what
Coll asked for Lefty.

It's a kind of a joke he'd
enjoy on the Dutchman.

If your guess is right,

the Dutchman must be real happy.

He just saved
himself a lot of money.

But not trouble.

We're gonna make some for him.

Look at that, four days.

Four days he's dead.

I knew that, I told you that,

and you guys pushing me
to pay out 100,000 dollars.

I tell you I know that
Vinnie. He's kill-crazy.

I pinned the right tag on him.

He's a mad dog.

And look at here, $100,000
just about to get thrown away

in a garbage can.

(door opens)

Hey, Dutch. DUTCH: What?

There's a couple of
guys wanna see you.

One of them's Eliot Ness.

Ness? You gonna see him?

(footsteps)

Well, Mr. Ness.

Well, you don't have
to break in here. Heh!

I was just gonna call you.

Sure, you were.

No kidding, I was.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I seen this already.

Did you pay the money?

Did I...?

(chuckles)

What kind of a fool
question is that?

I mean, you... You work for the
federal government, Mr. Ness,

you've seen my tax returns.

Where would I get hold of
a sum of money like that?

You didn't pay the money. No.

No, I've been trying
to borrow it but no dice.

That's why I was gonna call you.

Eh, heh-heh! No, not to
ask you for any money.

I figure as long as I can't pay,

the least I can do
is try to nail Vinnie.

And then I see this in the
paper and I figure I owe it to Lefty

to see that you guys
get hold of this thing.

Foster Park, 12 noon.

Today's supposed
to be payoff day.

It's the last run of
the morning edition.

Comes out between 10:30 and 11.

This is the only paper the
story has been in so far.

Foster Park is way
out on Long Island.

There's a chance, just a
chance, he hasn't seen it yet.

He might be out there
waiting for the ransom money.

DUTCH: Mr. Ness,

I just wanna thank
you for coming by.

Don't thank me yet.

(door closes)

That Mad Dog.

He almost trapped us that time.

Dutch, I think it's time we
get this guy knocked off.

(sighs)

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to pay
somebody to do a job

the law's gonna do
for me for free, huh?

(chuckles)

( suspenseful theme playing)

All right, what time is it?

Twenty after 11.
That fat tub of lard.

He was supposed to be
down at the bridge by 11!

Probably he stopped
for an extra breakfast.

Yeah?

I'll give him an
extra breakfast.

I'll cut 50 pounds
off his fat belly.

I'll cut 50 more
pounds off his fat head!

You just keep looking
out that window.

(sighs)

Well, he came.

A half an hour
late, but he came.

Yeah, that fat boy,

he needs to be taught a lesson.

Hey. What's the matter?

He's driving up here.

( action theme playing)

The jerk. I told him to stay
down there by the bridge.

I'm gonna blast his head off!

Don't shoot,
Vinnie. Don't shoot.

They found Lefty!

Don't shoot. I got the papers.

Here. Here.

(panting)

That lucky Dutchman.

That lucky Dutchman.

That's why I was late, Vinnie.

I heard it on the radio,

so I waited for
the late editions.

I figured you'd
want the details.

Welt, it looks like you
can't beat the Dutchman.

Yeah? I can't beat him, huh?

He ain't gonna
pay off now. Yeah.

Okay. That's okay.

Here he saved a
hundred grand, right there.

And right here
he's gonna lose it.

He's gonna lose it
on this nag right here.

( dramatic theme playing)

And I'm gonna
see to it personal.

Stop.

Do you think he's there?

Let's find out.

Cover us.

( melancholy theme playing)

NARRATOR: Vincent "Mad
Dog" Coll became the object

of a nationwide search.

He was reported seen in almost
every big city in the country.

Working out of the
Chicago headquarters

of the Untouchables,

Eliot Ness diligently checked
every one of those tips.

But as the days
lengthened into weeks

and the weeks into months,

the tips became fewer and fewer

until Vincent Coll was
almost a forgotten man

to everyone except Eliot Ness

and the Untouchables.

(laughter, chattering)

For a time, even Dutch Schultz
forgot about the Mad Dog,

but Vincent Coll did
not forget the Dutchman.

He had plans.

Plans that included
Miss Diana Carten,

the owner of the
Kentucky Derby favorite,

Enchantment.

On April 20th of that year,

Miss Carten watched the
loading of Enchantment

that was to take him
from her farm in Lexington

to Churchill Downs.

(tires squealing)

Come on!

(indistinct shouting)

( dramatic theme playing)

ANNOUNCER: And now
back to The Untouchables.

NARRATOR: The news
of this startling crime

was read with much
more than passing interest

in the office of the
Untouchables in Chicago.

You read the papers? Yeah.

You got a hunch it's Coll?

A lot more than a hunch.

Item.

Dutch Schultz bet $100,000

on that horse in
the Winter Book.

Item.

"Mad Dog" Coll asked
exactly that amount of ransom

for Lefty Gallagher,
which he didn't get.

Item.

This paper with the knife

stuck through the
picture of the horse.

It's the second time
it's been linked with Coll.

Finally, the whole idea
of kidnapping a horse.

Can you think of
anybody else in our files

you'd peg with a crime like
this except "Mad Dog" Coll?

But they're asking for ransom.

If Coll just wanted
to keep riding Schultz,

wouldn't he just kill the horse?
That's what he did with Lefty,

and he still tried to collect.

Get three tickets to Louisville
on the first plane available.

Right.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Well, you could be wrong,
Dutch. Oh, don't tell me.

This is Coll again.

It's that 100,000 bucks.

He's gonna get it out of
me, one way or another.

(door opens)

Here are the tickets
to Louisville. Good.

What are we gonna
do in Louisville?

We're gonna get that Mad Dog
off of my back once and for all.

( dramatic theme playing)

(door opens)

Having kidnapped Enchantment,

Coll and his men holed up
in an abandoned farmhouse

outside of Louisville.

You gonna kill a horse?

(chuckles)

Maybe, maybe not. Why?

You gonna cry over it,
Needles? Huh? Heh-heh!

I'm beginning to see
why the Dutchman

pinned that tag on you.

What tag?

Mad Dog.

FATS: Hey, Vinnie.

What do you want,
you big tub of lard?!

Take it easy, Vinnie, the gun.

(breathing heavily)

I'm gonna let some of that
hot air out of you right now.

What'd I do?

I done what you told me.
I pressed the sailor suit.

So, what do you want, a medal?

And the time. The time.

You told me I should
tell you the time.

You wrote in the
note to the dame

you'll call her at 4:00,

tell her how to
deliver the dough.

Yeah, yeah.

Time.

The time.

(clears throat)

What is it?

The time! What is it?!

Three, Vinnie, see?
Exactly 3 on the button, see?

(screams, gunshots)

(whinnying)

A horse.

Why would he wanna kill a horse?

Why would he kill Enchantment?

'Cause he hates a gangster
named Dutch Schultz.

A gangster who
stands to lose $100,000

if your horse doesn't run.

If you pay the ransom, that
could be just a bonus for him.

I'm not going to pay the ransom.

Chief Beaufort tells
us you just drew

$50,000 from the bank.

We also know that you
never bet on the horses.

Fifty thousand dollars is
a lot of money for a hat.

All right, it is the
ransom money.

Now, may I go, please?

Miss Carten,

if you pay the ransom,
we can't stop you.

But work with us so
we can trap him. No.

I don't want
Enchantment to get hurt.

He'll kill the horse, ransom
or not, unless we stop him.

Vincent Coll's a
psychopath, an insane killer.

He's called the "Mad Dog."

Are you sure it's this Coll?

Everything we've learned,
every piece of evidence

we turned up points to Coll,

but if you ask me,
can I swear to it? No.

Then I won't take the chance.

I want Enchantment back.

He's worth more
than $50,000 to me.

I don't suppose
you'd understand this.

Before my father died he
was training Enchantment

for the Kentucky Derby.

I want him back.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

(phone rings)

H-hello.

Yes, it is.

Yes, I have. Right with me.

Yes?

I understand.

Yes, I will.

Oh, and, please,

don't let anything
happen to Enchantment.

(phone clicks)

( ominous theme playing)

We're getting too
close, drop back.

Get going.

It's all there. I swear it is.

Where's Enchantment?

Ah, you just relax.
You'll get him.

Is he all right?

Yeah. He's all right.

He's strong as a horse.

(laughs)

We're losing him.
Come on, step on it.

Somebody with her. Must be Coll.

We're being followed.

I didn't tell anybody... Shut
up. Go straight ahead fast.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Turn right here.

Enchantment.
Where's Enchantment?

You promised. You
promised me Enchantment.

Quiet! (screams)

( action theme playing)

It was Coll. I'm sorry.

I should have listened to you.

I'm sorry.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

Fifty grand.

Fifty thousand bucks.

(laughing)

What's the matter,
what's the matter?

Needles, ain't you happy?

Sure, sure.

Only let's blow this joint.

Vinnie. You don't
have to kill the nag.

Just let him stay here
till the derby's over.

That way Dutch loses the
100 grand just the same

as if you killed the horse.

Let's forget the horse.

Let's make the split and lam.

We ain't splitting
anything, Fats,

and we ain't blowing
this place. What?

You and Needles are
gonna take this money,

you gonna take it and
spread it all around.

You're gonna spread
it around on bets

on the derby.

Bets? What?

Who are we bettin' on?

With Enchantment
out of the race,

there's only one horse
that figures, right?

That's Dream Prince. The
odds on him now are 6-to-1.

That means we stand
to make 300,000 bucks

at that price. Oh!

You're figuring wrong, Vinnie.

Dream Prince is gonna
be an odds-on favorite.

You'll have to lay
three bucks to get two

without Enchantment running.

Who says he ain't gonna run?

But the Dutchman...
Enchantment...

That horse is gonna run.

Huh?

He just ain't gonna win.

( dramatic theme playing)

(car approaching)

Candy wrappers.
They were here, all right.

I don't get it. I
just don't get it.

Coll had everything.
The money, the horse.

He could have killed it,
but instead he calls the girl

and tells her where
it is. That's crazy.

Who ever said Coll was sane?

Insane or not, he's got to
have a pattern for his thinking.

Maybe he has.

I don't know what
the pattern is,

but I'll bet these have
something to do with it.

These houses overlooking
the track are being searched.

All the back gates are guarded.

There's a special detail on
the front gates and entrances.

Good.

We'll check the paddock
and the stable area.

(intercom buzzes)

Excuse me.

Yes?

Oh, good. Send her in.

The Carten girl.

(door opens)

You sent for me?

I did.

Miss Carten, you still have
time to withdraw Enchantment

from the derby.

But, Mr. Ness,

my trainer found
Enchantment in fine condition.

Why should I withdraw him?

We found these
in Coll's hideout.

They're .30-06s, powerful enough

to bring down a
horse at 400 yards.

Do you really believe Coll would
shoot Enchantment at the track?

I do.

Do you wanna tell her
what you've learned, chief?

Miss Carten,

Fats Finney has bet
$50,000 on Dream Prince

to win.

We know Fats Finney
is associated with Coll.

Are you saying you want
me to withdraw Enchantment?

That's a decision you're
gonna have to make yourself.

I have to run him.

My father never won
a Kentucky Derby.

Enchantment was his chance.

He's the best horse
we've ever had.

Don't you see?

I have to run him.

I understand.

Thank you, Miss Carten.

I've got to get Coll.

Let's go over this again.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Friends?

Why not have them
join us in my box?

Friends?

Not exactly.

Excuse me.

Hello, Ness.

I didn't know you
was a horse fan.

Who do you like in the derby?

I hear somebody's been betting
a lot of money on Dream Prince.

Yeah, I heard that. Do
you think he's got a chance?

I don't know, I'm not an
expert on horses, just dogs.

Mad dogs? And Dutchmen.

I think they both
oughta be caged.

Come on.

( ominous theme playing)

( mellow theme playing)

Looks like Coll
isn't going to show.

Maybe.

The race hasn't started yet.

ANNOUNCER (over PA): The horses
are approaching the starting gate.

That cameraman's Coll. Come on.

ANNOUNCER: The
horses are at the gate.

(bell rings) They're off.

At the break it's Royalty Line,

Song Man, Sun Britches, Jim Jam,

Tantalizing,
Moonstrike, Brick Gold,

Flying Fox, Dream Prince,

Fun Time by two lengths,

Robin Hill and Enchantment.

Into the clubhouse turn,

it's Jim Jam going for the lead,

Royalty Line second,
then Brick Gold,

Moonstrike, Tantalizing,

Sun Britches, Flying Fox,

Blue Day, Fun Time,

Dream Prince, Kismet
and Enchantment.

At the half, it's still
Jim Jam by a length,

Royalty Line, a length,

Moonstrike and Dream Prince,

Tantalizing and Enchantment.

It's now Jim Jam,

Royalty Line,
Dream Prince by two,

Tantalizing and
Enchantment on the outside.

Turning for home, it's
Dream Prince a length,

Jim Jam second,
Enchantment on the outside,

and Brick Gold and Tantalizing.

Into the stretch, it's
Dream Prince a half,

Enchantment and Jim Jam.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

Dream Prince a neck,
and Enchantment.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

Dream Prince and Enchantment.

At the finish, it's
Dream Prince a neck.

Enchantment and Jim Jam third.

Dream Prince?

That's what the man said, Coll.

You outsmarted yourself.

You could've had your
cake and eaten it too.

NARRATOR: Vincent Coll,
admitted to bail on an extortion charge,

fled to New York,
unaware that a price

had been put on his head,

not by the law
but by the lawless.

Leaders of the underworld

offered $50,000 for his death.

Someone put in a
claim for that money,

when, on February 7th, 1932,

in a telephone booth

on West 23rd Street, New York,

Vincent "Mad Dog"
Coll died as he lived,

in a hail of
machine-gun bullets.
