Public Enemies
All right, get out of there.
Let's go.
All the way down
and take a seat.
Let's go. Stop your dragging.
Let's go! Move!
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go! Line up! Line up!
Move! Move! Right turn!
Stay with me!
Keep your head down!
Line up! Line up!
Everybody ready?
Come on.
Line up!
Get off me!
Come on.
- One...
Now march us to the changing rooms.
...2, 3.
Go. Let's go.
Line up!
I know you.
You just got paroled out of
here. You didn't last very long.
When was that?
Did 9 years.
John. John Dillinger.
That's right.
My friends call me John.
But a son-of-a-b*tch screw like you
better address me as Mr. Dillinger.
Open it! Open it or
I'll blow you in half.
Against the wall.
Take your clothes off, now!
You did it, kid.
Sure did, Walter.
Give me the goddamn jacket.
Red!
Come on. Hurry up!
- Get undressed. Take your clothes off.
Come on.
You eyeballing me,
you son of a b*tch?
Cut it out, Shouse!
Shouse! Shouse!
Lockdown!
Bring them in from the yard!
There they are!
Walter! Come on.
Walter Dietrich's dead
'cause of you.
The bastard guard wouldn't
do what he was told, Johnny.
Homer?
Just let him
have it, Johnny.
Pete?
It's up to you.
How far is the farm?
We're ready!
Okay. Let's go!
Burn these, okay, honey?
Thanks for getting us out, Red.
It was Johnny's plan.
Yeah, but thanks.
Take me with you, mister.
I can't, darling. I'm sorry.
Welcome back, Pete.
Let's go to Chicago
and make some money.
Floyd, halt!
Melvin, look out!
Pretty Boy Floyd,
you are under arrest.
It's Charles. Charles Floyd.
Who are you? Melvin Purvis,
Bureau of Investigation.
Where is your friend,
Harry Campbell?
I believe you've killed me.
So you can go rot in hell.
Sport.
Red, call Oscar.
Okay.
Hi, there, doll.
Let's switch out the shorts.
We gonna use Berman?
Yeah. Get a Plymouth
and an Essex.
Where them other gals?
You get a hold of Marty?
Sure did.
How you doing, Mr. Johnny?
Doing great, Sport.
The main spring's too tight
on this one. Jammed twice.
I cut off one coil.
And it rides up
and to the right.
I widen port.
Hey, Red.
Hi, Harry.
Harry, this is Pete.
Pete, this is Harry Berman.
Hi, Pete. How you doing?
So, what do we got? Got a
couple of nice straight eights.
Bored them out. Rebuilt
the carburetors myself.
These are some really fast cars.
Perfect work cars for
a couple of gentlemen.
Johnny, how are you?
Good.
Marty,
tell me that me
and my boys are okay.
As long as you stay
in East Chicago,
you're in safe haven,
any time you want.
Extra cake's in here.
Thanks.
Hey, Anna.
I opened up in Chicago on Halsted
now. Come by and see the girls.
How are you?
On the floor! Now! Now! Do it!
Do it! On the floor, now! Now!
Let's play a game, Mr. President.
It's called Spin the Dial.
You, hands up!
Come on. And, you, sit down!
On the floor!
Relax, pops.
Open it up.
Empty it! Move, move!
Shut up!
It's one of these.
You can be a dead hero
or a live coward.
Get it open.
All of it!
You, hands up.
Come on!
Empty it! All of it!
Hey, sit down!
Push it to me!
And don't move!
We got company!
Move out of there!
You can put it away. Not here for
your money. Here for the bank's money.
I said, move it out of there!
What for?
Come here, sister.
Let's take a ride.
Get down!
Beat it.
You, too, sister.
Come here.
There you go, doll.
Something to remember me by.
You know, when I'm not doing
this, I'm a scout for the movies.
Really?
Join hands.
We'll freeze here!
No. You'll worm your way out
Why do we
need this?
Because criminals flee in fast
automobiles across state lines,
thereby defeating
local jurisdiction
because there is no federal
police force to stop them.
By my tally, your
Bureau wants to spend
more taxpayers' dollars
catching crooks
than what the crooks you
catch stole in the first place.
Well, that's ridiculous.
The Bureau has apprehended
kidnappers and
bank robbers who have
stolen up to and in excess of... Really?
How many have you
apprehended?
We have arrested and
arraigned 213 wanted felons.
No, I mean you, Director
Hoover. How many?
Well, as Director, I administer.
How many have you
arrested personally?
I have never arrested anybody.
You've never arrested anybody.
Well, of course not.
I am an administrator.
With no field experience.
You are shockingly
unqualified, aren't you, sir?
You have never
personally conducted
a criminal investigation
in the field in your life.
I think you're a front.
I think your prowess
as a lawman is a myth
created from the hoopla of headlines
by Mr. Suydam, your publicist there.
Crimebusters, G-men, you're
setting yourself up as a czar?
That's running wild in my estimation.
A crime is what runs wild.
If this country requires
a Bureau such as yours,
I question whether you are
the person fit to run it.
Well, I will not be judged by a
kangaroo court of venal politicians.
Your appropriation
increase is denied.
Feed the following
to Walter Winchell.
McKellar is a Neanderthal, and he is
on a personal vendetta to destroy me.
We will not contest him
in his committee room.
We will fight him on the front page.
Where is John Dillinger?
Agent Purvis, congratulations.
Thank you, sir.
May I ask why?
They're ready for him.
This is Henry Suydam. He is
our expert in press relations.
Congratulations
for Pretty Boy Floyd,
for which you have
my personal gratitude.
Second, you are, as of this moment,
the Special Agent in Charge
of the Chicago field office.
Are you up to that task, Agent Purvis?
Absolutely, sir.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Today, I am declaring the United
States of America's first War on Crime.
And I'd like to introduce one of our
finest G-men, Agent Melvin Purvis.
Agent Purvis will be in charge
of the field office in Chicago,
the center of the crime
wave sweeping America.
His task will be to get Public
Enemy Number 1, John Dillinger.
Director?
Mr. Purvis?
Say a few words, would you?
Mr. Purvis, how did you
run down Pretty Boy Floyd?
Through an apple orchard.
Mr. Tolson, when he's done, you
tell him if he needs anything,
you'll get it for him.
And tell him he may call me J. E.
Yeah, but people say John Dillinger's
a lot smarter and a lot tougher.
Well, nevertheless,
we will get him.
What makes you so sure?
We have two things
Dillinger does not.
What are they?
The Bureau's modern techniques
of fighting crime scientifically
and the visionary leadership
of our Director, J. Edgar Hoover.
The broad over there is looking at me.
She likes me.
How you doing, sweetheart?
Alvin. Good to see you.
How you doing?
Homer. Pete.
Me, Freddy and Doc are
looking to snatch a fellow.
He's a Saint Paul banker, Ed
Bremer. We need a few more hands.
I don't like kidnapping.
Well, robbing banks is getting tougher.
The public don't like kidnapping.
Who gives a damn
what the public likes?
I do. I hide out among them.
