talkative mood there's one thing you learn in my racket stay in your own territory [Music] have you heard the San Diego cash on the line we don't get the oil leases until his country gets alone how else could it be suppose my government should deliver the oil to you gentlemen at your low price and then should fail to receive the loan from your government once this come up for congress Williamson this is Washington Charlie you can't rush things here you understand Mr Lupo that we must tread most delicately as a matter of fact this brings to mind The Teapot Dome scandal of some years ago serious patients for congress look I know this is no Breeze but you guys aren't working for nothing with your five percent you know no one's complaining Charlie we've just got to be cautious there's been a lot of opposition to this loan have the vessels been purchased yet we bought 12 tankers all under Panamanian registry under dummy names of course I'm worried about the big American and English oil companies if it leaks out your organization's getting the oil leases so cheaply they'll smell the government loans tied to it they'll blow this deal right up in our faces and a lot of people with it too that's my department Charlie let me worry about that in your life Williamson Goodbye Mr Lupo I'll see you huh see you in New York Charlie right don't worry about a thing Charlie I'll keep you

before you won't beat this Magellan they've got him cold you can't even begin to fight this if you do we can forget about the oil deal what's the oil deal Got to Do With It plenty Nick this is meet for judge Kincaid in his commission he'll make a big thing of this Dragon Lupo everybody put the spotlight on The Syndicate look Magellan I've spent nearly a year lining up some very influential people on this government loan you'll scare them off if you put The Syndicate on the front pages thank you janians got to get out of the country before the proceedings can even get underway you want me to break this to Lupo close to Charlie you can explain it to him better than we can oh sure I can explain it real good I just say Charlie you got to throw your best friend out of the country I'm sure you can be a little more diplomatic than that yeah Williamson that can be real diplomatic like you Country Club Hypocrites just wrap the knife and velvet before I shove it in but I think that's a little uncalled for now Nick there's no need to get nasty with Paul about this but besides this isn't the most unfortunate thing that could happen to you after dageanian is gone somebody has to take his place and you're in pretty solid with Lupo Ben's gonna have to go that's all there is to it Nick The Syndicate comes first sure we couldn't find it Charlie there's not a chance this oil deal is too important to have been this is about the toughest thing I've ever had to do in my life you want me to break it to him Charlie oh that hurt him even worse I'll break it to him Nick do you know that

pull a complete double cross like this and you didn't even smell it Williamson was engineering the whole thing I was only handling a face of it what about the millions of dollars we got stuck in those tankers down in Panama I wish I could give you an answer to that but I can't maybe you're cutting in on Williamson's payoff do you think I'd be here now if I were you might look gentlemen I mean I'm

rarely see the high court of organized crime sitting in judgment a judgment which is final from which there is no appeal legally we haven't got a leg to stand on Williamson knows this all we can do is take our losses and keep our mouths shut not only do we lose a billion dollar deal we got to take a rep of 10 million besides what about our other contacts in Washington can't they put some pressure

all afternoon if you need me good day gentlemen the meeting's open for discussion I see no reason for any discussion this rap double crossed us cost us a fortune the only thing to do is hit him in the head wait a minute wait a minute Williamson's an important man he's got powerful friends if we knock him off and erase a Sting from one end of the country to the other he crossed us and he's got it coming like any other Pig I agree with Johnny hit him in the head now I've given us a lot of thought I hate to say this but the smart thing to do is lay off Williamson Charlie we can't that word get around that Williamson crossed us and got away with it we'd be wide open for more double crosses I say vote right now I think we should talk to Albert I've taken into consideration what you might have said but I'm thinking of the organization there's no telling what will happen if we knock Williamson off to tell you the truth I'm afraid of it yeah Mr de Lucia on the phone thanks Nick hello Albert

won't give his name he says it's a personal matter if he won't State his business tell him I don't want to be disturbed I think you want to see me judge Kincaid I'm Arnie Wendler you can leave us alone Mrs Wesley and tell her not to give me cute ideas like call the cops you can retire now I won't need you anymore tonight you're the man who was wounded by the policeman yeah got a shadow whiskey judge I have some Sherry that'll do I guess better nothing I've come to offer you a deal what kind of a deal how would you like me to sing to turn States evidence and what do you expect in return I want to walk out clean absolutely clean you have the audacity to suggest a proposal like that to me that's the deal take it or leave it what makes you think I'd make a bargain like this with you Wendler you haven't a chance this entire city is looking for you you'll be picked up in a matter of days hours do you like to crack The Syndicate would you concave you'd like to reach one of the big boys go on me I'm small fry maybe I burn for Williamson's murder but I don't have to testify I don't even have to open my trap in a courtroom unless I want to but if I do I nail one of the big boys for you maybe the biggest I can put the finger right on Charlie Lupo I can't be a party to this Wendler the police will have to find other means if you mean Whitey and Gino forget it they're lying a couple furnished rooms on the West Side full of lead I dropped over to see him but somebody got there ahead of me when I have devoted my life to stamping out Vermin like you and all my years on the bench I never conceived that I could ever lower myself to make a bargain with your kind okay so you hate my guts is it a deal I can't promise anything I can only assure you that I'll use my influence in recommending the proposition that's good enough for me judge I happen to know that I wouldn't dare cross you downtown let's shake on it that's not necessary Wendell you have my word okay judge or just one thing more you better not call downtown to have me picked up chances are you'd never get to see me in a courtroom alive I'll have you placed in special custody Kincaid's got him done at the DA's office now and he's singing his head off I tried to get in and I couldn't Kincaid's keeping him under wraps when there is not too much he can implicate you in Williamson's murder and that's exactly what Kincaid wants where are they holding Oni I don't know Kincaid's keeping it secret and he's got special guards to watch him 24 hours a day you won't get to him who'd the D.A give the case to Hartman and he's like a bulldog you can't touch him he's absolutely straight besides he sees a big opportunity to make a name for himself all right go down and try and block the indictment if we store long enough maybe some of the heat will be off you don't know Kincaid I'm worried Charlie plenty worried you're not going to fall apart now are you Frawley I'll do the best I can Charlie if I don't talk to you later I'll call you first thing in the morning oh Mama come here a minute will you please that's a good Nick could be a lot better I think you ought to take yourself out of circulation for a while Charlie you can't depend on those slabs downtown they're getting milk in their veins yeah you're right I need time to think the whole thing out what is it Charlie mama would you please pack a bag for me I want to leave town for a while going away mama please just pack the bag I've got to go out of town for a while that's all you're going to hide out that's it isn't it Charlie we've got to hide out again Mama please just pack the bag I won't be gone long honest I you got a spot picked out Charlie yeah Nick I want you to drop me there after you leave me don't tell anybody where I am you understand nobody I understand you're a good boy Nick what's happening those newspaper reporters have been driving me crazy they won't let me alone I told you to have the phone cut off anything happen I just want to talk to you was that the reason for the big rush call well I had to talk to somebody I'd been out of this place in days any cops have been here no just the two detectives I told you about well they come again give them the same treatment you don't know a thing I really don't Nick good keep it that way can I mix you a drink I haven't got time oh oh come on you can spend a few minutes with me you don't know how lonely I've been how's Charlie he's fine things serious isn't it it's no picnic the papers say that Charlie's finished this time for good that'll be a cool day I'm worried about Charlie or about losing this joint and everything that goes with it I don't deserve that why I hadn't noticed yes you do why don't you let yourself go Nick you're way off base Iris no don't call Nick taco you're a beautiful day Iris one of the best I've seen and you treat me like it was Christmas Eve but no thanks I see through you like those silk dresses you wear you figure Charlie's on the skids and it's safe to play I told you before and I'll tell you again I'm not interested we're going for murder in the first degree you'll never make it stick look at your style witness a hood with a police record a mile long his testimony will never stand up in court we'll give it a good try I think we've got loophole this time hello Hardman good to see you froley I thought you ought to be in on this Bob wants to make a deal for his client what would you say to a manslaughter charged with minimum sentence manslaughter that would be a deal for your client all right how about you boys coming up with an offer if we can work this out you'll save the state a lot of time and money get your conviction and come out Heroes want to give us a couple of minutes alone Bob sure take your time I'll wait in Leon's office what do you think Chief well we've got Lupo on the run or Frawley wouldn't be here but if this thing drags out there's always the chance that Windler might get a loss of memory I've seen it happen before that's got me worried too he's already getting jittery asking if we've picked up Lupo yet but manslaughter Frawley doesn't expect to get that I think Kincaid would go along with second-degree murder I'm sure he would let's try it Bob well what's the verdict murder two it's pretty rough they'll throw the book at him he'll never go for it it's the best we can do either that or we go for first degree all right I'll let you know in a day or two but I have a feeling I'm going to see you boys in court what kind of a deal is that you know what this rap carries I'll spend the rest of my life and stir it at pink at Frawley calls himself a lawyer he said if we don't take it they're going for murder one all right let them let him try it I'm gonna sweat this thing out I can sweat it out as long as I can Eric can do you watch that when they turn yellow there's an awful lot of heat on the organization Charlie what do you mean it's getting worse yeah not only here all over the country it's temporary Nick believe me it's temporary the guys are behind me every one of them that cut off their right arm footage at Lupo take a rep yeah you're right Charlie you need anything no I'm fine Nick I'll be all right thanks I guess Kathy's read about this whole thing in the papers yeah I suppose so I hope it isn't too rough on the kid so long Charlie I'll see in a few days okay I'll see you thanks a lot Nick thanks [Music] who is it it's me Kathy hi hi buy me a drink oh I'm making some coffee I said a drink a big one what's the reason for the celebration I just decided to live in Olivia that's all what's eating you Kathy let's have it a big one what's the matter what the cops find you yes they just paid me a little visit at the office to ask a few questions about Papa oh they couldn't have been nicer the reporters were very nice too even the doctor was nice when he fired me oh he assured me it didn't make any difference to him who I was but he had to think about his patience I knew you'd get belted Kathy you were wide open yes Nick you told me and you were right that little world I was planning for myself blow up right in my face but why don't you laugh come on have a good one no Kathy I'm not laughing I should have listened to you Nick you had all the answers you told me I couldn't beat it you told me I was in for a big letdown well I had it Kathy you had to find out for yourself now you know what you're up against there's something I envy about you Nick your strength you're very sure of yourself you know exactly where you're going and it's a strong winner at the Earth come on I'll take you home to your grandmother I'm not going home I'm staying here it's pretty late why don't I see you tomorrow do you understand what I'm saying I'm going to stay here with you I'm taking you home now you want me to stay Nick you do want me I know you do but you see I'm throwing myself at you I'm Yours Nick take me [Music] marry me Nick Mario yes now tonight right away you know I can't marry you Kathy why because you're a hoodlum so am I we're both the same whether I like it or not whether I want to be or not I'm Papa's daughter I know that now Kathy will you stop it [Music] I can't even have you even if I throw myself at you [Music] there would you Nick even if you wanted me because I'm Lupo's daughter Kathy you're all twisted up [Music] if you keep on like this you'll crack wide open me crack up [Music] oh no Nick not me I'm gonna let loose I'm gonna go out and have myself a ball and I'll find somebody who wants me there must be somebody who wants me I'll be seeing you Nick [Music] this thing is reaching National proportions gentlemen they're making a martyr out of Williamson now already there are Rumblings in Washington of another Senate investigating committee like the cafaba thing what are the chances of Charlie's beating the rep it's hard to say if Wendler breaks they're very good otherwise it means a long drawn out battle meantime we're getting slaughtered believe me this is going to get worse much worse if Charlie gave himself up took the murder too rep I hate to say this but in my opinion it's the only logical solution that is without endangering the position of the whole Syndicate I don't think he'll do it Johnny he believes we should fight it that we can beat it Charlie always said the organization came first that it was bigger than any one of us but he still feels that way Johnny but he also feels that this is no time to get milk in our veins all right there's only one way to settle it we'll put it to a vote mess hello Iris go pack a bag a bag what for you're taking a trip and nothing fancy you will need where you're going what are you talking about where are you taking me Charlie needs you please don't make me go Charlie's going to buy the police say I'll get involved please I don't want to get mixed up in this please Nick don't make me go Charlie certainly picked a price package when he picked you close all right Nick believe me out but the heat is on my territory is getting murdered so are the others yeah sure he's here I'll let you talk to him he wants to talk to you hello Albert yes I was just explaining it to the boys we may beat the rap in time but the repercussions would be disastrous yes I believe it would relieve the pressure immediately I'll let you speak to him yeah yeah I know how you feel about me I mean the boys do too I'm afraid it's the only answer yeah goodbye Albert that's all falling I'll be at my office until about five then you can reach me at home good day gentlemen Albert says he'll go along with the rest of us we'll take a vote so the boys want me to take the wrapper me Lupo I I can't believe it I'm Sorry Charlie but that's the way they voted even Albert even Albert is unanimous I can't believe that Albert would go along with him I just can't believe it not Albert I know it's a rough break Charlie but that's the vote the lousy immigrates after all I've done for the organization I am the organization Nick you made the rules Charlie they expect you to live by them we all have to live by them yeah how'd you tell the boys to give me a couple of days and I'll come in and take the rap that's all I need next just a couple of days okay Charlie so yeah why'd you stay for supper Iris isn't too bad a cook I ought to go come on Stick Around we'll bust open a bottle of champagne have a party it'll be like a last book last meal don't talk like that Charlie in a year or two he wants to bring up a roll that is not a chance once they get their hands on Lupo they'll never let go of him foreign Lupo boy she's just a kid I thought something was wrong when she passed me she looked like she was crying there's no skid marks she must have driven right off the road [Music] oh Charlie [Music] all right [Music] listen Bob I just got a tip a straight tip that party's going to talk yeah FBI huh Henry and I are taking the first plane into New York if it'll blow the lid off the country and we'll all go up with it [Music] go back to bed and keep your trap shut foreign [Music] I got you Johnny I'll grab the next plane all right Johnny I'm leaving right away he can't talk the old murders [Music] [Applause] if Lupo talks the country will face a scandal without precedent the FBI is in touch with Kincaid now can we put the fix on them put the fix on the FBI Mr Martinelli all right gentlemen thank you now if you'd excuse us goodbye gentlemen good day gentlemen Lupo's cracked up if he sings they'll Break The Syndicate we'll all get nailed loopho can put every one of us in the electric chair I don't believe it I can't believe Charlie would talk I think they're lying I know it's tough to swallow Nick but we got this straight right from the top we've already taken the vote you are making the hit hey why me Charlie's like my own father you're the only one who can make the hit he trusts you you can get to him Lupo may be on in years but he's still a pretty rough guy he's got to be somebody he thrusts he's got to be unique no I won't do it I can't do it look Nick don't you think I understand how you feel I love the guy you think I like to order his brains blown out you think the other boys like it he's got to be Nick there's no other way if Charlie gets to the FBI we're through every one of us I'll make that after you make it go to the airport I'll meet you come back to Chicago with me all right Johnny Magellan's liable to crack up and he knows an awful lot who knows what lupus told him we can't take a chance Johnny don't worry I've taken out insurance foreign drive back into the City and check into a hotel what is it Charlie what's it all about why going to Washington

can't kill Charlie he's your friend shut up Iris [Music] that's him coming out now in the dark coat Don't miss Mr Achilles wants this clean okay he's all mine [Music] foreign [Music] the circle of self-destruction has claimed new victims it has stilled the lips that might have revealed the secrets of The Syndicate first Charles Lupo then Nick Magellan tomorrow who knows The Syndicate still
