The Untouchables (1959–1963): Season 3, Episode 8 - Man Killer - full transcript
Eliot Ness and his men are having success shutting down the narcotics trade in Chicago thanks to a series of anonymous telephone tips. Ness manages to trace the call to a phone booth and identify the caller as Nick Dulov, owner of the Windy City cab company. Dulov has stolen Nitti's 15 kilo shipment of heroin and then gives it back to him - with a proposition that they go into the narcotics distribution business together. Dulov's wife, Georgiana Drake, is fed up with their relationship however and having killed her husband tries to convince Nitti to do business with her. Her proposal is to use her fleet of taxis - and those in several other cities as well - as mobile narcotics stores and having the junkies come to them, rather than the other way around, and offer a free fix to anyone of the who brings in a new customer.
You looking for something?
Yeah, where's the stuff?
What stuff?
Come on, I need some.
You'd better get out; I
got nothing to sell you.
Out.
Well?
He took the bait.
Let's reel in the line.
Tonight's episode...
Starring Robert
Stack as Eliot Ness.
Costarring Bruce
Gordon and Anne Helm.
With special guest
star Ruth Roman.
And narrated by Walter Winchell.
In July of 1934, acting on
a series of telephone tips,
Eliot Ness and the Untouchables,
with the cooperation
of local police,
moved in on Chicago's
narcotics racket.
The illegal sale of dope
was slowly being strangled.
Despite the continued
falloff in sales, on August 4,
Frank Nitti prepared to
receive 15 kilos of heroin,
the largest
shipment of narcotics
ever to be imported
at a single time.
Thanks.
Sergeant Garson, homicide.
They found one of
Nitti's boys last night...
Two holes where
they count the most.
He thought we'd like to know.
10:00... Our
tipster's right on time.
Ness speaking.
Mr. Ness, I got some
more information.
Go ahead.
Two pushers are operating
out of a candy store
on Michigan and LaSalle.
Wait a minute,
I'll write it down.
Hurry it up, we can't
hold on the line forever.
It's a "Superior" exchange,
same as last time.
All right, I've got it.
Anything else?
You know that beggar that
hangs around Union Station?
Yeah.
He ain't selling pencils.
We're on it.
The first digit is a two.
We're running out of time.
You hear about Nitti's
boy getting it last night?
What do you know about that?
Not a thing,
Mr. Ness, not a thing.
I'll call you again
sometime, eh?
Wait a minute.
What's your angle
in this thing, mister?
My angle?
I'm a public-spirited citizen.
He's got a reason and I
want to know what it is.
See if Rico got the trace.
Taxi, mister?
DISPATCHER: 63, cab 63 is ready.
18, 63, 21, 14 on deck.
All right, you guys, step on it.
Okay.
I don't care what's
wrong or what happens.
Cab 18's ready. You
guaranteed the meter.
Now, you either fix it
or send me a new one.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
18, 63, 21, 14 on deck.
Everything all right, Georgie?
Fine.
63, 14 on deck.
How are you, Manny? Nick.
Where was you?
Listen, you got
to take care of me.
You didn't tell me you was going
to knock off that Nitti guy.
Take it easy,
Manny, take it easy.
Sit down, relax.
Relax, relax? Relax.
You're worried?
I'll take care of your worries.
Here.
Go on, open it.
Go on, go on, count it.
An extra five "G" s.
For what?
Why not?
A bonus for a good job, huh?
And I got something
else for you.
Here, it's a train
ticket for Florida.
You go down, get a good tan.
By the time you come
back it'll all be forgotten.
Right?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I'd better go home
and pack now, huh?
Nah, leave it, leave it.
When you get to
Miami, you'll buy new.
Just send the bill to me.
Oh, uh, Maxie here
will take you to the train.
63, cab 63.
You're a great guy, Nick.
You did a good job, kid.
Have a nice vacation.
Thanks a lot.
Swell guy, huh, Maxie?
21, 14 on deck.
All right, you guys.
Isn't it a shame?
A nice kid like that gets
killed on his vacation.
Take care of it, Maxie.
I don't care where
you have to look.
Turn over every rock.
Find me Manny.
But don't touch him,
don't lay a finger on him.
I want him for myself.
We got every ear
in town listening.
Yeah?
Boss, there's a guy downstairs
says he wants to see you...
Nick Dolov.
I ain't seeing
anybody right now.
Get rid of him.
But, uh, he says he's
got information you want
about last night.
All right, send him up.
The next time there's a meet,
you case the place first
and you check out the driver.
We did.
Manny Kravitz was
all right till last night.
Hello, Frank.
Frank, would I
come with fireworks?
I know you from
someplace, don't I?
Sure, I did a couple
of jobs for Al way back.
Yeah.
You got a cab company now.
That's right, one
of the biggest.
What do you want?
I, um...
I'd like to talk to
you alone, Frank.
Okay.
What do you know
about last night?
You lost a boy...
and a shipment.
Yeah, so?
I know a lot about you, Frank.
I know that Ness is
giving you a bad time.
You're telling me old news.
I'm telling you that I
know you're hurting.
Even if you didn't lose
that shipment last night,
you'd be stuck with it.
I'll worry about that
when I get it back,
and I'll get it back.
You've got it back.
Where did you get it?
It fell my way.
But the big question is: what
are you going to do with it?
Ness has got you boxed in.
Nobody gives away a
million bucks' worth of dope
just to be nice.
I asked you before...
What do you want?
Look,
for the first time since
you're in the business,
you're sitting with too
much merchandise.
I want to show
you how to move it,
get more customers, and
keep out of Ness's way.
Don't you give me
no Barney Google talk.
You think I'm new in this?
I've got top men working for me.
How come they don't
know what you know?
Maybe they ain't so
smart, Frank, huh?
Look, I'll tell you what.
You pick a section in town...
I don't care where it is.
You pick it.
I guarantee you, in one week,
four times as many customers.
What's it cost me?
Nothing... it's a free sample.
All right, the third ward.
Third ward.
Four times the number of
customers and no arrests.
"Six Day Bike Race"?
What's this?
Tickets.
One week from now.
You like the free
sample, use the tickets,
then we talk a deal.
You want to tell me where
you picked the stuff up?
A guy brought it to me.
He used to drive for you.
He wanted to make
some kind of deal.
Why you?
He had some kind of crazy idea,
but me, I don't buck
the organization.
I know it ain't healthy.
Where is he?
Hmm?
Oh, he's dead, Frank.
I tossed that in as
a free sample, too.
Rossi's checkout with the
phone company produced
the number "Superior 2098"
and was traced to
a public telephone.
For the next three days,
cabbies at the adjacent
taxi stand were questioned
by the Untouchables.
Finally, one driver remembered
that at the time in question,
a passenger skipped him and
entered the cab second in line.
The reason: he was Nick Dolov,
owner of the Windy
City Cab Company.
Dolov's background was checked.
He had a record of two arrests
and at one time
had been suspected
of dealing in narcotics.
Convinced that he
had the right man,
Eliot Ness tried the final test.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to bother you.
Certainly I'll talk
to your dispatcher.
Thank you very much.
That's him.
Let's pay a call.
No, Mrs. Glasgow, we
haven't found your umbrella yet.
These two guys
here want to see Nick.
I manage the company.
Can I help you?
Federal officers, Miss, uh...?
Drake, Georgiana Drake.
Won't you come in, please?
Thank you.
We don't do any
interstate traffic.
What would federal
officers want with us?
Not with the
company, Miss Drake.
We'd like to talk to Mr. Dolov.
Well, as you can
see, he's not here.
Where can we find him?
Mister...?
Ness.
Well, Mr. Ness, I just
work for Mr. Dolov.
I don't know if I can
give you any information
without his permission.
What's this all about?
Is he in some kind of trouble?
No, no, there's no trouble.
We just want to talk to him.
Well, I'll see that he
gets your message.
Where can he reach you?
He'll know the number.
Running this company
must be a big responsibility.
Yes, it is, but I manage.
What does Mr. Dolov do?
If you run it all, he must
have a lot of free time.
He sets policy, Mr. Ness.
He built this cab
company up from two cabs.
I just see that his
orders are carried out.
Now that he's made it a success,
he, he has a right
to take things easy.
What does he do when
he takes things easy?
Who are his friends?
I just handle his
business affairs, Mr. Ness.
Very efficient, Miss Drake.
Thank you.
♪ ♪
You're late.
Just wanted to make
sure we weren't followed.
Ness didn't say how
he found me, did he?
No, but he found
you too soon, Nick.
You made a bad
mistake someplace.
So he found me... so what?
All he can do is thank me
for doing my duty
and helping him out.
Well, if he says it loud enough,
you'll have Frank
Nitti all over you.
Ness won't spoil a good thing.
He's too smart.
Nick, if Ness can
find out, so can Nitti.
You'd better get out of town.
Oh, no.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
It's not safe for
you here, Nick.
You've held up your end.
The rest is up to me anyway.
Georgiana and her big plans.
No, no, I ain't leaving, baby.
I'm going to stick around
and make sure
that I get my share.
Nick, I'm only
thinking about you.
Why won't you let me help you?
Still looking out for me, huh?
After so many years,
it gets to be a habit.
Well, kick the habit, baby.
I'm having too much fun.
It hasn't been much
fun for me lately.
Nick... Nick, just...
just hold me a minute, will you?
It wouldn't hurt
just to hold me.
It could be like it was before.
It could be better.
Forget it.
Now, look, I told you before.
You got a great business head.
I got a lot of
respect for you...
but that's it, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Any empty-headed little doll
can make you do cartwheels,
but all I can do
is make you rich.
Nick, I just want
to take care of you.
From now on, I'm
taking care of myself.
We got a good thing going here.
You're going to spoil it.
Nick, you're going
to get yourself killed.
Why won't you let me help you?
If you want to help
somebody, go help Maxie!
I've had it for good.
Now I'm late.
I got a date with Marian.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Maxie.
Maxie, w... Maxie, wait.
Georgie!
Georgie!
The body of Nick Dolov was
discovered by a patrolman
in the junkyard where
he had been slain.
The following morning,
August 16, 1934,
the homicide division
notified the Untouchables.
Anything?
Oh, the usual personal effects,
several hundred
dollars in cash, and, uh...
and this.
Does it unlock a door?
I haven't had a chance
to check it out yet.
Start digging.
Ness speaking.
I got a tip for you, Ness.
Benny's Cigar
Store on State Street.
Dolov's dead, but
nothing's changed.
A new voice, but
the same old tips.
This time, it's Benny's
Cigar Store on State Street.
Benny's Cigar Store?!
Yeah, a half hour ago.
Ness walks in
easy as you please.
Another one... one
right after the other!
Where does he get
his information? Where!
I don't know.
Well, you find out.
I want that leak
found and plugged.
Eliot Ness was able to trace
the key found on Dolov's body
to the apartment of a nightclub
singer named Marian Keyes.
Yeah, yeah.
Miss Keyes?
Federal officers.
May we come in?
Sure.
Am I arrested?
Have you done anything
you should be arrested for?
Well, um...
is a parking ticket
a federal offense?
Miss Keyes, what would
Nick Dolov be doing
with a key to your
apartment in his pocket?
Oh... he's my boyfriend.
Who has a better right?
Why?
Is he in trouble?
He's dead... somebody shot him.
Dead?
Who would want to kill Nick?
No, he can't be dead.
He can't be.
There are some things we'd like
to know about him, Miss Keyes.
Who were his friends,
his business associates?
Nobody.
Or everybody.
He knew a lot of people.
Did you ever hear him
mention Frank Nitti?
No, no, he never mentioned him.
He ever mention
narcotics to you?
No, no... why, what for?
Listen... I don't
know anything else.
All I know is that...
Nick is dead.
Miss Keyes, if you
remember anything
you think might
help, will you...
will you call?
Who... well, who's going
to take care of me, huh?
He's a louse.
You can write that
in your little book.
A dirty, cheating, lying,
conniving little louse.
He doesn't think about
anybody but himself.
He's a louse.
Nick Dolov was one of
the nicest guys I ever met.
Did you give him my
message last night?
I wrote it down...
but he never saw it.
Who killed him, Miss Drake?
I don't know.
And I don't know why.
He was everybody's friend.
You know all about
his business affairs.
Did he have any
connection with Frank Nitti?
He knew him.
Nick Dolov was
making trouble for Nitti.
Did you know that?
I suspected.
Why?
I don't know.
Was Nitti trying to muscle
in on the cab company?
I don't think so.
No wrecks?
No drivers beaten up,
passengers scared off?
No... nothing like that.
Poor Nick.
He was a sweet guy.
Considerate.
Generous.
You know a lot about
him for an employee.
I was his wife, Mr. Ness.
We were married for 12 years.
Will there be anything else?
No, Mrs... Dolov.
Not for the moment.
Thank you.
Cabs 38, 88 and 108,
see the dispatcher.
Better put a tail on her right
away and put Rico on Nitti.
Why, do you suspect her?
I just want to protect her.
Whatever it was Nitti
wanted from Dolov,
he may also want from his wife.
Dolov is dead.
♪ You always scold me ♪
♪ Whenever somebody ♪
♪ Is near, dear ♪
♪ It must be ♪
♪ Great fun to be mean to me ♪
♪ You shouldn't,
for can't you see ♪
♪ What you mean to me? ♪
♪ Can't you see ♪
♪ What you mean to me? ♪
You know who the doll is
going around with? Who?
Nick Dolov. Yeah?
He knows how to pick them.
Yeah.
It's too bad he saw her first.
That's very nice, baby.
Hey, you got plans
for afterwards?
I suppose, huh?
Yeah, I suppose.
With your friend, Nick Dolov?
Didn't you hear?
He got killed last night.
Murdered.
They found him in a junkyard.
That's too bad.
Glad you liked the number.
Hey, you know, a girl like that,
she should get a new
boyfriend right away... huh?
I had a deal with Dolov.
Hey, Frank, can I
see you a minute?
Yeah, sure, have a seat.
We got to have more H.
You know who to see.
But they sent me to see you.
They think there's
something phony.
All of a sudden,
in this one section,
hey, we got a million customers.
Where?
In the third ward.
Me... honest, I ain't
seen nothing like it.
Since this morning, the
pushers ain't had a breather,
they've been running
back and forth so much.
Well, what about the customers?
They come from a
different part of town?
No, a lot of them are
buying it for the first time.
But some cabbies
moved in with some ideas.
Cabbies?
Yeah.
You tell the boys I said
there's nothing phony.
You get what you need.
Bye.
Got a lot of talent right there,
and it's all in
the right places.
Hey, boss, you gonna
need me tomorrow night?
Yeah, you're gonna be busy.
Where we going?
The bike races.
Maybe I still got a
deal and don't know it.
Who is it?
It's me, Marian.
What do you want?
Oh.
Georgie, I... I don't
know what to do.
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you working?
Oh, I can't. I...
I-I'm so nervous, I...
I just want to scream.
Let me in for a minute, huh?
We discussed everything
we had to on the phone.
I thought we had a deal.
Well, we-we do, we do, but...
But not tonight.
Tomorrow.
Tonight's important, too.
I need to know everything
you used to tell Nick,
all the talk that
goes on in the club.
Oh, but there was
nothing going on. I...
I mean, I couldn't
find out anything.
Nobody would
talk to me. There...
Well, Nitti was there, and...
and they were all
trying to talk to him.
Nitti?
Does he know Nick's dead?
Yeah, yeah, I told... I
told, uh, Marty Gladwin.
Nitti was right there.
Georgie, don't make me
go back there tonight, huh?
Okay, take the night off.
So Nitti knows, huh?
Must have been a shock to him.
You can go now, Marian.
Georgie?
Georgie, can I
stay here tonight?
You've got an apartment.
Use it.
Oh, I-I couldn't stay
there alone, not tonight.
I just couldn't.
Yeah?
So why me?
Oh. Well, it-it's like...
It's like you're family.
Nick-Nick used to always say
you were like a sister to him.
Well, you were the only one
I-I could think of to come to.
Look, Marian, Nick's dead.
We all have to get used to that.
Why don't you come to the point?
Well, he said we had a deal.
That's really why
you're here, isn't it?
Oh, Georgie, please.
I-I won't be able to sleep.
Well, I keep wanting
to tear at myself.
It's in there.
Nick should see you now.
You don't look
so soft and cuddly.
The next night, Frank Nitti,
not knowing quite
what to expect,
arrived at the arena
ready to use his ticket,
which he hoped would
become the ticket to a fortune.
Peanuts! Here you
are, folks. Get your...
Five cents for...
Peanuts! Peanuts!
Thank you, mister.
Fresh roasted peanuts.
Five cents... Get
'em while they last.
That's a switch.
I was supposed to follow
her and protect her from Nitti.
Hello, Mr. Nitti.
You're to follow me... alone.
You wait here.
All right, where is he?
Does he want to talk, or
does he want to stall all night?
Where's who?
Your boss or your
boyfriend or whatever he is.
The guy that wants to see me.
There is no guy, Mr. Nitti.
Just me.
What?
I'm Georgiana Drake.
Most people call me Georgie.
All right, Georgie.
What is this, a gag?
No gag, Mr. Nitti.
You're here because
you're interested in a deal.
Let's talk business.
Now, wait a minute.
I don't talk business
with no dame.
Why not?
I just don't, that's all.
It's a rough game, sister.
I don't know where you
fit in, but I need somebody
who don't break out in
tears when things go wrong.
I don't break out into tears.
Well, what do you do when
somebody finks on you?
You, uh, hit him with
your powder puff?
No. I have him killed.
Like I did Manny Kravitz,
who used to drive for you.
Maybe you put him up to it, too.
Maybe.
Maybe I even arranged
for Ness to move in on you
so you'd need my operation.
Oh, you're talking pretty big.
Well, you saw what I
did in the third ward.
I can do it all over
the country for you.
I've got a cab
company here in town,
and connections with others
in Boston, Philadelphia,
Los Angeles, New York.
Well, never mind
the other cities.
But it's the kind
of a distribution
you've never had before.
You want a fix?
Hail a cab.
Just like that, huh?
Even better. It's safe.
Regular passengers
don't tip to it.
We make it so easy,
even honest folks
will want some.
And I've got a few tricks
you haven't tried before.
A free fix to any junkie who
brings in a new customer.
Make every junkie a pusher.
And all with a
good front... Cabs.
We could make millions.
Georgie, you got a
great business head.
You supply the heroin,
keep your hoods off my back,
and in two days,
we'll be ready to roll.
We get 80, you get 20.
They're my contacts, my cabs.
All right.
70 me, 30 you.
It's a deal, Frank.
Even on 30%, I can get rich.
Georgie, you go
tie up the country.
You know something?
You're a great businessman.
And now back to
The Untouchables.
Eliot Ness, learning
of the meeting
between Georgiana
Drake and Frank Nitti,
was convinced that he had
followed the wrong track.
On the night of October 4, 1934,
Ness and Agent Hobson,
armed with a search warrant,
entered Georgiana's
apartment building.
Thanks, Maxie.
You're a nice guy
for waiting so long.
Oh, oh, I-I don't
mind waiting for you.
Not for you, Marian.
You're something
special in my book.
Oh, thanks, Maxie.
You're a doll.
Nice break,
Georgiana leaving town.
Youngfellow called earlier.
He's sticking with her.
And she's still in Kansas City?
St. Louis tonight.
She's been having one
meeting after another.
So far, only one
man's been identified.
He owns a cab
company in New Orleans.
Lee?
Find something?
Georgiana didn't
strike me as an addict.
Did she you?
No, she didn't.
What are you doing here?
We have a search warrant.
Did Miss Drake give you
permission to use her apartment?
Well, I just happen
to live here now.
Nice of Miss Drake
to let you move in.
She's my friend.
You seem pretty well recovered
since the last time we saw you.
You get over everything in time.
It's only been three days.
Listen, why are
you picking on me?
I haven't done anything wrong.
If Nick got himself
killed, it's his own fault.
Now I'm out of it now.
Out of it?
I wouldn't say so.
You moved in
here with his widow.
You're lying.
We checked it out.
She's Mrs. Dolov.
Apparently, Nick had his
own ideas about marriage,
which is why they had different
names, separate apartments.
She's my friend.
If you say so, Miss Keyes.
Will you... Will you
get out of here? I...
I-I don't feel well.
Would you like to take
a drive in the fresh air?
I've got my car downstairs.
Well, you have to go
to my office anyway.
I...
I have... I have
nothing to say to you.
I-I... I told you,
I don't feel well.
This your medicine?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Miss Keyes.
Cold?
My nerves.
I-I told you I didn't feel well.
That's why we're here.
Oh... Mr. Ness, I...
I've got to have my medicine.
Who hooked you, Marian... Dolov?
I don't want... I don't
want to talk. What...?
Georgie's supplying
you with drugs now.
How deep is she in with Nitti?
Listen, I really
need that doctor.
Look, Marian, I need your help.
There are thousands of
innocent people... Listen.
I want you to leave me alone!
Eliot?
All right, Marian.
In there.
Who are these people?
They've been using
drugs most of their lives.
I'll get it.
Hello?
Frank? It's me.
I'm back.
It's all set.
Six of the distributors
are meeting me tonight
at the junkyard to pick
up the merchandise.
Send the stuff over.
Okay, baby.
You'll get it right away.
Now, there's a real dame.
The best businessman I ever met.
You guys could learn something
from her, you know that?
Yeah, she does all right.
All right?!
Why, right now she's
got a setup in ten cities
ready to run like a clock.
She don't have to
do another thing.
Yeah, I'll tell you the truth.
A dame that smart
would worry me a little.
I'll tell you something, Marty,
when I first found
out she tipped Ness
about our operation,
I was plenty sore.
But when she told me she did it
just to persuade me
to go along with her,
I figured that made good sense.
Yeah, I guess so.
Why, sure it did.
Look what she did for us.
Got the whole thing set up.
I tell you it made good sense.
Till now.
Get rid of her.
Did you bring it?
Well, where's the stuff?
You won't have to worry
about that anymore, Georgie.
What are you talking about?
I think it'll be more
quiet this way.
Nitti'd kill you for that.
Nitti sent me.
Marian Keyes talked.
Names, dates and places.
Eliot Ness set the
wheels in motion
for a nationwide round
up of the organization,
while he and The Untouchables
set out to arrest the
brains behind the scheme.
Eliot?
Marty Gladwin.
And where's Georgie?
All we have to do
is to wait for Georgie
to come back and move the body.
And by that time,
it could be too late.
♪ ♪
Frank Nitti?
Nobody makes clam
sauce like you guys.
Hello, Frank.
Hello, Georgie.
You get the stuff I sent over?
Yeah.
Only it wasn't the right stuff.
You won't get home
again tonight, baby.
You're dead.
Why'd you do it, Frank?
You pushed into my operation.
You gotta be an example.
Where's Marty?
You'll find somebody else.
Well, that's another
one I owe you for, huh?
It'll cost you a million
to get rid of me.
I don't need you to
make a million, Georgie.
You done all you could.
I did a little more than I
was supposed to, Frank.
I picked up the heroin.
Marty tried to buy his life.
He told me about
your drop on 4th Street
where you kept the stuff.
I went down there
and got it, Frank.
You don't use it
now, not without me.
What do you want?
To live.
Okay.
And a 50/50 split.
It'll cost you another 20
percent to try to kill me.
What if I kill you
right after the million?
I'm too good a
businesswoman, Frank.
I'm always good for a million.
You won't throw that away.
All right.
You win; we got a deal.
You know what?
You ain't a dame,
you're a cash register!
Where to?
Just drive.
Sure.
You looking for something?
Yeah, where's the stuff?
What stuff?
Come on, I need some.
Marian said I could get it here.
Marian who?
You know.
The singer that works at
the Montmartre Club, Marian.
She spread it all over town.
All you gotta do is hail a cab.
I don't know what you're
talking about, buddy.
Listen, if you
can't sell me some,
take me someplace
where I can get it.
Mister, I don't know
what you're talking about.
You'd better get out. I
got nothing to sell you.
But Marian said!
I don't know any Marian!
Out!
Well?
He took the bait.
Let's reel in the line.
Hold it, don't move, buddy.
It's all right. He works for me.
What are you doing here?
Listen, Georgie, I
gotta tell you something.
Not now.
It's gotta be now,
it's important.
Well?
Something's happening.
I don't understand it. What?
A guy I never seen before
jumps into my cab and
starts looking for stuff, see.
Don't make jokes, Maxie.
He said that Marian told him.
He said she's
spreading it all over town.
She'll spoil everything
if she tips it too soon.
We gotta get out
of here, Georgie.
I got a feeling.
Why, that stupid
little... We're so close.
You've got to shut her mouth.
Find her, Maxie.
Stop her from talking.
I can't do that, Georgie.
I mean, it's not like
getting rid of a guy.
It's different.
Why is it different?
Well, uh, well, she's a girl.
So, what?!
She's so little, so pretty.
Well, what difference
does that make?!
Well, I can't kill her!
She's the kind of
girl you want to marry.
She's nothing, do you hear me?
She's nothing! You
take care of her!
I ain't gonna do it, Georgie!
Don't you understand
she's nothing?
People like her are nothing.
They got no brains!
She's nothing; she's not pretty!
She's not pretty,
sh-she's nothing!
She's nothing!
Let's go.
Hang on, Jack.
Go ahead, I'll be okay.
Move!
You're under arrest, Georgie.
You don't understand, Mr. Ness.
I was married to
Nick for 12 years.
He never looked at me.
Always the other girls.
I tried to make him
treat me like a woman.
But to everybody...
I was just a businessman.
Am I a businessman
to you, Mr. Ness?
Or a woman?
You're a killer, Georgie.
Within 48 hours,
Eliot Ness and The Untouchables
had destroyed the
entire narcotics web
that threatened to
strangle the country.
Georgie Drake was
sentenced to life imprisonment,
while Frank Nitti
impressed his lieutenants
with the folly of doing
business with a woman.
The Untouchables.
Yeah, where's the stuff?
What stuff?
Come on, I need some.
You'd better get out; I
got nothing to sell you.
Out.
Well?
He took the bait.
Let's reel in the line.
Tonight's episode...
Starring Robert
Stack as Eliot Ness.
Costarring Bruce
Gordon and Anne Helm.
With special guest
star Ruth Roman.
And narrated by Walter Winchell.
In July of 1934, acting on
a series of telephone tips,
Eliot Ness and the Untouchables,
with the cooperation
of local police,
moved in on Chicago's
narcotics racket.
The illegal sale of dope
was slowly being strangled.
Despite the continued
falloff in sales, on August 4,
Frank Nitti prepared to
receive 15 kilos of heroin,
the largest
shipment of narcotics
ever to be imported
at a single time.
Thanks.
Sergeant Garson, homicide.
They found one of
Nitti's boys last night...
Two holes where
they count the most.
He thought we'd like to know.
10:00... Our
tipster's right on time.
Ness speaking.
Mr. Ness, I got some
more information.
Go ahead.
Two pushers are operating
out of a candy store
on Michigan and LaSalle.
Wait a minute,
I'll write it down.
Hurry it up, we can't
hold on the line forever.
It's a "Superior" exchange,
same as last time.
All right, I've got it.
Anything else?
You know that beggar that
hangs around Union Station?
Yeah.
He ain't selling pencils.
We're on it.
The first digit is a two.
We're running out of time.
You hear about Nitti's
boy getting it last night?
What do you know about that?
Not a thing,
Mr. Ness, not a thing.
I'll call you again
sometime, eh?
Wait a minute.
What's your angle
in this thing, mister?
My angle?
I'm a public-spirited citizen.
He's got a reason and I
want to know what it is.
See if Rico got the trace.
Taxi, mister?
DISPATCHER: 63, cab 63 is ready.
18, 63, 21, 14 on deck.
All right, you guys, step on it.
Okay.
I don't care what's
wrong or what happens.
Cab 18's ready. You
guaranteed the meter.
Now, you either fix it
or send me a new one.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
18, 63, 21, 14 on deck.
Everything all right, Georgie?
Fine.
63, 14 on deck.
How are you, Manny? Nick.
Where was you?
Listen, you got
to take care of me.
You didn't tell me you was going
to knock off that Nitti guy.
Take it easy,
Manny, take it easy.
Sit down, relax.
Relax, relax? Relax.
You're worried?
I'll take care of your worries.
Here.
Go on, open it.
Go on, go on, count it.
An extra five "G" s.
For what?
Why not?
A bonus for a good job, huh?
And I got something
else for you.
Here, it's a train
ticket for Florida.
You go down, get a good tan.
By the time you come
back it'll all be forgotten.
Right?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I'd better go home
and pack now, huh?
Nah, leave it, leave it.
When you get to
Miami, you'll buy new.
Just send the bill to me.
Oh, uh, Maxie here
will take you to the train.
63, cab 63.
You're a great guy, Nick.
You did a good job, kid.
Have a nice vacation.
Thanks a lot.
Swell guy, huh, Maxie?
21, 14 on deck.
All right, you guys.
Isn't it a shame?
A nice kid like that gets
killed on his vacation.
Take care of it, Maxie.
I don't care where
you have to look.
Turn over every rock.
Find me Manny.
But don't touch him,
don't lay a finger on him.
I want him for myself.
We got every ear
in town listening.
Yeah?
Boss, there's a guy downstairs
says he wants to see you...
Nick Dolov.
I ain't seeing
anybody right now.
Get rid of him.
But, uh, he says he's
got information you want
about last night.
All right, send him up.
The next time there's a meet,
you case the place first
and you check out the driver.
We did.
Manny Kravitz was
all right till last night.
Hello, Frank.
Frank, would I
come with fireworks?
I know you from
someplace, don't I?
Sure, I did a couple
of jobs for Al way back.
Yeah.
You got a cab company now.
That's right, one
of the biggest.
What do you want?
I, um...
I'd like to talk to
you alone, Frank.
Okay.
What do you know
about last night?
You lost a boy...
and a shipment.
Yeah, so?
I know a lot about you, Frank.
I know that Ness is
giving you a bad time.
You're telling me old news.
I'm telling you that I
know you're hurting.
Even if you didn't lose
that shipment last night,
you'd be stuck with it.
I'll worry about that
when I get it back,
and I'll get it back.
You've got it back.
Where did you get it?
It fell my way.
But the big question is: what
are you going to do with it?
Ness has got you boxed in.
Nobody gives away a
million bucks' worth of dope
just to be nice.
I asked you before...
What do you want?
Look,
for the first time since
you're in the business,
you're sitting with too
much merchandise.
I want to show
you how to move it,
get more customers, and
keep out of Ness's way.
Don't you give me
no Barney Google talk.
You think I'm new in this?
I've got top men working for me.
How come they don't
know what you know?
Maybe they ain't so
smart, Frank, huh?
Look, I'll tell you what.
You pick a section in town...
I don't care where it is.
You pick it.
I guarantee you, in one week,
four times as many customers.
What's it cost me?
Nothing... it's a free sample.
All right, the third ward.
Third ward.
Four times the number of
customers and no arrests.
"Six Day Bike Race"?
What's this?
Tickets.
One week from now.
You like the free
sample, use the tickets,
then we talk a deal.
You want to tell me where
you picked the stuff up?
A guy brought it to me.
He used to drive for you.
He wanted to make
some kind of deal.
Why you?
He had some kind of crazy idea,
but me, I don't buck
the organization.
I know it ain't healthy.
Where is he?
Hmm?
Oh, he's dead, Frank.
I tossed that in as
a free sample, too.
Rossi's checkout with the
phone company produced
the number "Superior 2098"
and was traced to
a public telephone.
For the next three days,
cabbies at the adjacent
taxi stand were questioned
by the Untouchables.
Finally, one driver remembered
that at the time in question,
a passenger skipped him and
entered the cab second in line.
The reason: he was Nick Dolov,
owner of the Windy
City Cab Company.
Dolov's background was checked.
He had a record of two arrests
and at one time
had been suspected
of dealing in narcotics.
Convinced that he
had the right man,
Eliot Ness tried the final test.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to bother you.
Certainly I'll talk
to your dispatcher.
Thank you very much.
That's him.
Let's pay a call.
No, Mrs. Glasgow, we
haven't found your umbrella yet.
These two guys
here want to see Nick.
I manage the company.
Can I help you?
Federal officers, Miss, uh...?
Drake, Georgiana Drake.
Won't you come in, please?
Thank you.
We don't do any
interstate traffic.
What would federal
officers want with us?
Not with the
company, Miss Drake.
We'd like to talk to Mr. Dolov.
Well, as you can
see, he's not here.
Where can we find him?
Mister...?
Ness.
Well, Mr. Ness, I just
work for Mr. Dolov.
I don't know if I can
give you any information
without his permission.
What's this all about?
Is he in some kind of trouble?
No, no, there's no trouble.
We just want to talk to him.
Well, I'll see that he
gets your message.
Where can he reach you?
He'll know the number.
Running this company
must be a big responsibility.
Yes, it is, but I manage.
What does Mr. Dolov do?
If you run it all, he must
have a lot of free time.
He sets policy, Mr. Ness.
He built this cab
company up from two cabs.
I just see that his
orders are carried out.
Now that he's made it a success,
he, he has a right
to take things easy.
What does he do when
he takes things easy?
Who are his friends?
I just handle his
business affairs, Mr. Ness.
Very efficient, Miss Drake.
Thank you.
♪ ♪
You're late.
Just wanted to make
sure we weren't followed.
Ness didn't say how
he found me, did he?
No, but he found
you too soon, Nick.
You made a bad
mistake someplace.
So he found me... so what?
All he can do is thank me
for doing my duty
and helping him out.
Well, if he says it loud enough,
you'll have Frank
Nitti all over you.
Ness won't spoil a good thing.
He's too smart.
Nick, if Ness can
find out, so can Nitti.
You'd better get out of town.
Oh, no.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
It's not safe for
you here, Nick.
You've held up your end.
The rest is up to me anyway.
Georgiana and her big plans.
No, no, I ain't leaving, baby.
I'm going to stick around
and make sure
that I get my share.
Nick, I'm only
thinking about you.
Why won't you let me help you?
Still looking out for me, huh?
After so many years,
it gets to be a habit.
Well, kick the habit, baby.
I'm having too much fun.
It hasn't been much
fun for me lately.
Nick... Nick, just...
just hold me a minute, will you?
It wouldn't hurt
just to hold me.
It could be like it was before.
It could be better.
Forget it.
Now, look, I told you before.
You got a great business head.
I got a lot of
respect for you...
but that's it, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Any empty-headed little doll
can make you do cartwheels,
but all I can do
is make you rich.
Nick, I just want
to take care of you.
From now on, I'm
taking care of myself.
We got a good thing going here.
You're going to spoil it.
Nick, you're going
to get yourself killed.
Why won't you let me help you?
If you want to help
somebody, go help Maxie!
I've had it for good.
Now I'm late.
I got a date with Marian.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Maxie.
Maxie, w... Maxie, wait.
Georgie!
Georgie!
The body of Nick Dolov was
discovered by a patrolman
in the junkyard where
he had been slain.
The following morning,
August 16, 1934,
the homicide division
notified the Untouchables.
Anything?
Oh, the usual personal effects,
several hundred
dollars in cash, and, uh...
and this.
Does it unlock a door?
I haven't had a chance
to check it out yet.
Start digging.
Ness speaking.
I got a tip for you, Ness.
Benny's Cigar
Store on State Street.
Dolov's dead, but
nothing's changed.
A new voice, but
the same old tips.
This time, it's Benny's
Cigar Store on State Street.
Benny's Cigar Store?!
Yeah, a half hour ago.
Ness walks in
easy as you please.
Another one... one
right after the other!
Where does he get
his information? Where!
I don't know.
Well, you find out.
I want that leak
found and plugged.
Eliot Ness was able to trace
the key found on Dolov's body
to the apartment of a nightclub
singer named Marian Keyes.
Yeah, yeah.
Miss Keyes?
Federal officers.
May we come in?
Sure.
Am I arrested?
Have you done anything
you should be arrested for?
Well, um...
is a parking ticket
a federal offense?
Miss Keyes, what would
Nick Dolov be doing
with a key to your
apartment in his pocket?
Oh... he's my boyfriend.
Who has a better right?
Why?
Is he in trouble?
He's dead... somebody shot him.
Dead?
Who would want to kill Nick?
No, he can't be dead.
He can't be.
There are some things we'd like
to know about him, Miss Keyes.
Who were his friends,
his business associates?
Nobody.
Or everybody.
He knew a lot of people.
Did you ever hear him
mention Frank Nitti?
No, no, he never mentioned him.
He ever mention
narcotics to you?
No, no... why, what for?
Listen... I don't
know anything else.
All I know is that...
Nick is dead.
Miss Keyes, if you
remember anything
you think might
help, will you...
will you call?
Who... well, who's going
to take care of me, huh?
He's a louse.
You can write that
in your little book.
A dirty, cheating, lying,
conniving little louse.
He doesn't think about
anybody but himself.
He's a louse.
Nick Dolov was one of
the nicest guys I ever met.
Did you give him my
message last night?
I wrote it down...
but he never saw it.
Who killed him, Miss Drake?
I don't know.
And I don't know why.
He was everybody's friend.
You know all about
his business affairs.
Did he have any
connection with Frank Nitti?
He knew him.
Nick Dolov was
making trouble for Nitti.
Did you know that?
I suspected.
Why?
I don't know.
Was Nitti trying to muscle
in on the cab company?
I don't think so.
No wrecks?
No drivers beaten up,
passengers scared off?
No... nothing like that.
Poor Nick.
He was a sweet guy.
Considerate.
Generous.
You know a lot about
him for an employee.
I was his wife, Mr. Ness.
We were married for 12 years.
Will there be anything else?
No, Mrs... Dolov.
Not for the moment.
Thank you.
Cabs 38, 88 and 108,
see the dispatcher.
Better put a tail on her right
away and put Rico on Nitti.
Why, do you suspect her?
I just want to protect her.
Whatever it was Nitti
wanted from Dolov,
he may also want from his wife.
Dolov is dead.

Hey, you got plans
for afterwards?
I suppose, huh?
Yeah, I suppose.
With your friend, Nick Dolov?
Didn't you hear?
He got killed last night.
Murdered.
They found him in a junkyard.
That's too bad.
Glad you liked the number.
Hey, you know, a girl like that,
she should get a new
boyfriend right away... huh?
I had a deal with Dolov.
Hey, Frank, can I
see you a minute?
Yeah, sure, have a seat.
We got to have more H.
You know who to see.
But they sent me to see you.
They think there's
something phony.
All of a sudden,
in this one section,
hey, we got a million customers.
Where?
In the third ward.
Me... honest, I ain't
seen nothing like it.
Since this morning, the
pushers ain't had a breather,
they've been running
back and forth so much.
Well, what about the customers?
They come from a
different part of town?
No, a lot of them are
buying it for the first time.
But some cabbies
moved in with some ideas.
Cabbies?
Yeah.
You tell the boys I said
there's nothing phony.
You get what you need.
Bye.
Got a lot of talent right there,
and it's all in
the right places.
Hey, boss, you gonna
need me tomorrow night?
Yeah, you're gonna be busy.
Where we going?
The bike races.
Maybe I still got a
deal and don't know it.
Who is it?
It's me, Marian.
What do you want?
Oh.
Georgie, I... I don't
know what to do.
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you working?
Oh, I can't. I...
I-I'm so nervous, I...
I just want to scream.
Let me in for a minute, huh?
We discussed everything
we had to on the phone.
I thought we had a deal.
Well, we-we do, we do, but...
But not tonight.
Tomorrow.
Tonight's important, too.
I need to know everything
you used to tell Nick,
all the talk that
goes on in the club.
Oh, but there was
nothing going on. I...
I mean, I couldn't
find out anything.
Nobody would
talk to me. There...
Well, Nitti was there, and...
and they were all
trying to talk to him.
Nitti?
Does he know Nick's dead?
Yeah, yeah, I told... I
told, uh, Marty Gladwin.
Nitti was right there.
Georgie, don't make me
go back there tonight, huh?
Okay, take the night off.
So Nitti knows, huh?
Must have been a shock to him.
You can go now, Marian.
Georgie?
Georgie, can I
stay here tonight?
You've got an apartment.
Use it.
Oh, I-I couldn't stay
there alone, not tonight.
I just couldn't.
Yeah?
So why me?
Oh. Well, it-it's like...
It's like you're family.
Nick-Nick used to always say
you were like a sister to him.
Well, you were the only one
I-I could think of to come to.
Look, Marian, Nick's dead.
We all have to get used to that.
Why don't you come to the point?
Well, he said we had a deal.
That's really why
you're here, isn't it?
Oh, Georgie, please.
I-I won't be able to sleep.
Well, I keep wanting
to tear at myself.
It's in there.
Nick should see you now.
You don't look
so soft and cuddly.
The next night, Frank Nitti,
not knowing quite
what to expect,
arrived at the arena
ready to use his ticket,
which he hoped would
become the ticket to a fortune.
Peanuts! Here you
are, folks. Get your...
Five cents for...
Peanuts! Peanuts!
Thank you, mister.
Fresh roasted peanuts.
Five cents... Get
'em while they last.
That's a switch.
I was supposed to follow
her and protect her from Nitti.
Hello, Mr. Nitti.
You're to follow me... alone.
You wait here.
All right, where is he?
Does he want to talk, or
does he want to stall all night?
Where's who?
Your boss or your
boyfriend or whatever he is.
The guy that wants to see me.
There is no guy, Mr. Nitti.
Just me.
What?
I'm Georgiana Drake.
Most people call me Georgie.
All right, Georgie.
What is this, a gag?
No gag, Mr. Nitti.
You're here because
you're interested in a deal.
Let's talk business.
Now, wait a minute.
I don't talk business
with no dame.
Why not?
I just don't, that's all.
It's a rough game, sister.
I don't know where you
fit in, but I need somebody
who don't break out in
tears when things go wrong.
I don't break out into tears.
Well, what do you do when
somebody finks on you?
You, uh, hit him with
your powder puff?
No. I have him killed.
Like I did Manny Kravitz,
who used to drive for you.
Maybe you put him up to it, too.
Maybe.
Maybe I even arranged
for Ness to move in on you
so you'd need my operation.
Oh, you're talking pretty big.
Well, you saw what I
did in the third ward.
I can do it all over
the country for you.
I've got a cab
company here in town,
and connections with others
in Boston, Philadelphia,
Los Angeles, New York.
Well, never mind
the other cities.
But it's the kind
of a distribution
you've never had before.
You want a fix?
Hail a cab.
Just like that, huh?
Even better. It's safe.
Regular passengers
don't tip to it.
We make it so easy,
even honest folks
will want some.
And I've got a few tricks
you haven't tried before.
A free fix to any junkie who
brings in a new customer.
Make every junkie a pusher.
And all with a
good front... Cabs.
We could make millions.
Georgie, you got a
great business head.
You supply the heroin,
keep your hoods off my back,
and in two days,
we'll be ready to roll.
We get 80, you get 20.
They're my contacts, my cabs.
All right.
70 me, 30 you.
It's a deal, Frank.
Even on 30%, I can get rich.
Georgie, you go
tie up the country.
You know something?
You're a great businessman.
And now back to
The Untouchables.
Eliot Ness, learning
of the meeting
between Georgiana
Drake and Frank Nitti,
was convinced that he had
followed the wrong track.
On the night of October 4, 1934,
Ness and Agent Hobson,
armed with a search warrant,
entered Georgiana's
apartment building.
Thanks, Maxie.
You're a nice guy
for waiting so long.
Oh, oh, I-I don't
mind waiting for you.
Not for you, Marian.
You're something
special in my book.
Oh, thanks, Maxie.
You're a doll.
Nice break,
Georgiana leaving town.
Youngfellow called earlier.
He's sticking with her.
And she's still in Kansas City?
St. Louis tonight.
She's been having one
meeting after another.
So far, only one
man's been identified.
He owns a cab
company in New Orleans.
Lee?
Find something?
Georgiana didn't
strike me as an addict.
Did she you?
No, she didn't.
What are you doing here?
We have a search warrant.
Did Miss Drake give you
permission to use her apartment?
Well, I just happen
to live here now.
Nice of Miss Drake
to let you move in.
She's my friend.
You seem pretty well recovered
since the last time we saw you.
You get over everything in time.
It's only been three days.
Listen, why are
you picking on me?
I haven't done anything wrong.
If Nick got himself
killed, it's his own fault.
Now I'm out of it now.
Out of it?
I wouldn't say so.
You moved in
here with his widow.
You're lying.
We checked it out.
She's Mrs. Dolov.
Apparently, Nick had his
own ideas about marriage,
which is why they had different
names, separate apartments.
She's my friend.
If you say so, Miss Keyes.
Will you... Will you
get out of here? I...
I-I don't feel well.
Would you like to take
a drive in the fresh air?
I've got my car downstairs.
Well, you have to go
to my office anyway.
I...
I have... I have
nothing to say to you.
I-I... I told you,
I don't feel well.
This your medicine?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Miss Keyes.
Cold?
My nerves.
I-I told you I didn't feel well.
That's why we're here.
Oh... Mr. Ness, I...
I've got to have my medicine.
Who hooked you, Marian... Dolov?
I don't want... I don't
want to talk. What...?
Georgie's supplying
you with drugs now.
How deep is she in with Nitti?
Listen, I really
need that doctor.
Look, Marian, I need your help.
There are thousands of
innocent people... Listen.
I want you to leave me alone!
Eliot?
All right, Marian.
In there.
Who are these people?
They've been using
drugs most of their lives.
I'll get it.
Hello?
Frank? It's me.
I'm back.
It's all set.
Six of the distributors
are meeting me tonight
at the junkyard to pick
up the merchandise.
Send the stuff over.
Okay, baby.
You'll get it right away.
Now, there's a real dame.
The best businessman I ever met.
You guys could learn something
from her, you know that?
Yeah, she does all right.
All right?!
Why, right now she's
got a setup in ten cities
ready to run like a clock.
She don't have to
do another thing.
Yeah, I'll tell you the truth.
A dame that smart
would worry me a little.
I'll tell you something, Marty,
when I first found
out she tipped Ness
about our operation,
I was plenty sore.
But when she told me she did it
just to persuade me
to go along with her,
I figured that made good sense.
Yeah, I guess so.
Why, sure it did.
Look what she did for us.
Got the whole thing set up.
I tell you it made good sense.
Till now.
Get rid of her.
Did you bring it?
Well, where's the stuff?
You won't have to worry
about that anymore, Georgie.
What are you talking about?
I think it'll be more
quiet this way.
Nitti'd kill you for that.
Nitti sent me.
Marian Keyes talked.
Names, dates and places.
Eliot Ness set the
wheels in motion
for a nationwide round
up of the organization,
while he and The Untouchables
set out to arrest the
brains behind the scheme.
Eliot?
Marty Gladwin.
And where's Georgie?
All we have to do
is to wait for Georgie
to come back and move the body.
And by that time,
it could be too late.
♪ ♪
Frank Nitti?
Nobody makes clam
sauce like you guys.
Hello, Frank.
Hello, Georgie.
You get the stuff I sent over?
Yeah.
Only it wasn't the right stuff.
You won't get home
again tonight, baby.
You're dead.
Why'd you do it, Frank?
You pushed into my operation.
You gotta be an example.
Where's Marty?
You'll find somebody else.
Well, that's another
one I owe you for, huh?
It'll cost you a million
to get rid of me.
I don't need you to
make a million, Georgie.
You done all you could.
I did a little more than I
was supposed to, Frank.
I picked up the heroin.
Marty tried to buy his life.
He told me about
your drop on 4th Street
where you kept the stuff.
I went down there
and got it, Frank.
You don't use it
now, not without me.
What do you want?
To live.
Okay.
And a 50/50 split.
It'll cost you another 20
percent to try to kill me.
What if I kill you
right after the million?
I'm too good a
businesswoman, Frank.
I'm always good for a million.
You won't throw that away.
All right.
You win; we got a deal.
You know what?
You ain't a dame,
you're a cash register!
Where to?
Just drive.
Sure.
You looking for something?
Yeah, where's the stuff?
What stuff?
Come on, I need some.
Marian said I could get it here.
Marian who?
You know.
The singer that works at
the Montmartre Club, Marian.
She spread it all over town.
All you gotta do is hail a cab.
I don't know what you're
talking about, buddy.
Listen, if you
can't sell me some,
take me someplace
where I can get it.
Mister, I don't know
what you're talking about.
You'd better get out. I
got nothing to sell you.
But Marian said!
I don't know any Marian!
Out!
Well?
He took the bait.
Let's reel in the line.
Hold it, don't move, buddy.
It's all right. He works for me.
What are you doing here?
Listen, Georgie, I
gotta tell you something.
Not now.
It's gotta be now,
it's important.
Well?
Something's happening.
I don't understand it. What?
A guy I never seen before
jumps into my cab and
starts looking for stuff, see.
Don't make jokes, Maxie.
He said that Marian told him.
He said she's
spreading it all over town.
She'll spoil everything
if she tips it too soon.
We gotta get out
of here, Georgie.
I got a feeling.
Why, that stupid
little... We're so close.
You've got to shut her mouth.
Find her, Maxie.
Stop her from talking.
I can't do that, Georgie.
I mean, it's not like
getting rid of a guy.
It's different.
Why is it different?
Well, uh, well, she's a girl.
So, what?!
She's so little, so pretty.
Well, what difference
does that make?!
Well, I can't kill her!
She's the kind of
girl you want to marry.
She's nothing, do you hear me?
She's nothing! You
take care of her!
I ain't gonna do it, Georgie!
Don't you understand
she's nothing?
People like her are nothing.
They got no brains!
She's nothing; she's not pretty!
She's not pretty,
sh-she's nothing!
She's nothing!
Let's go.
Hang on, Jack.
Go ahead, I'll be okay.
Move!
You're under arrest, Georgie.
You don't understand, Mr. Ness.
I was married to
Nick for 12 years.
He never looked at me.
Always the other girls.
I tried to make him
treat me like a woman.
But to everybody...
I was just a businessman.
Am I a businessman
to you, Mr. Ness?
Or a woman?
You're a killer, Georgie.
Within 48 hours,
Eliot Ness and The Untouchables
had destroyed the
entire narcotics web
that threatened to
strangle the country.
Georgie Drake was
sentenced to life imprisonment,
while Frank Nitti
impressed his lieutenants
with the folly of doing
business with a woman.
The Untouchables.
