The Untouchables Page #3

What are mine?

What draws my admiration?

What is that which gives me joy?

- Dames!

- Boozin'!

Baseball!

A man...

A man stands alone at the plate.

This is the time for what?

For individual achievement.

There he stands alone.

But in the field, what?

Part of a team.

Teamwork...

Looks, throws, catches, hustles.

Part of one big team.

Bats himself the live-long day,

Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on.

If his team don't field... what is he?

You follow me?

No one.

Sunny day, the stands are full

of fans. What does he have to say?

I'm goin' out there for myself.

But... I get nowhere

unless the team wins.

- Team!

- Team.

Jesus Christ!

'Now I lay me down to sleep'

'I pray the Lord my soul to keep'

'lf I should die before I wake'

'I pray the Lord my soul to take'

- Amen.

- God bless...

God bless Mommy, God bless Annie,

God bless Daddy. Amen.

Amen.

Good night.

- Good night, Daddy.

- Good night, little girl.

Want to rub Eskimo?

Butterfly?

- Where are you going?

- What?

Where are you going?

I thought I'd go downstairs,

some work to do for tomorrow.

- You had a full day today, though?

- Yes, I certainly did.

And you've still got

some energy left?

Oh, a lot of work.

Well, why don't you come up

and brush my hair? You 'Detective'.

- How are we doin'?

- Capone's organization is diverse.

It owns Canadian Holding Company

Associations, which owns in turn

Green Light Laundry, Midwest Cabs,

Jolly Time Playthings...

- Jolly Time Playthings?

- Yes.

Remind me to get a present

for my daughter.

...Bahama Ship-to-Shore,

Miss Lucy Togs... the list is endless!

And all the business is legitimate,

and none is owned by Al Capone.

But we can get him on

income tax evasion if we can show

that any of the 'organization'

business money is going to him.

- Legally, he receives no income.

- He doesn't receive anything?

- Mr. Ness? You have a visitor.

- Mister Ness!

Could we talk for a minute?

I'm John O'Shea, Alderman...

Yes, I know who you are.

Would you excuse us?

We are busy with several large

operations. What can I do for you?

I came up to congratulate you

on a job well done.

Share your good fortune

on such a lovely day.

What's that?

- What is that?

- Mr. Ness, you're an educated man.

Let me pay you the compliment

of being blunt.

There is a large and popular business

which you are causing dismay.

Why don't you just cross the street

and let things take their course?

Would you come in here, please?

In Roman times, when a fellow tried

to bribe a public official,

they would cut off his nose,

sew him in a bag

with a wild animal,

and throw that bag in the river.

You tell your master

that we must agree to... disagree!

- You're making a mistake.

- I'm beginning to enjoy my mistakes.

You fellows are 'untouchable',

is that it? No one can get to you?

You tell Capone...

that I'll see him in hell.

Hey! Nice house!

I said, nice house!

Do you live there?

Little girl's havin' a birthday, huh?

Yes.

Nice to have a family.

Yes, it is.

A man should take care,

see that nothin' happens to them.

Catherine?!

Catherine!

- Where's the baby?

- She's upstairs. Eliot!

- What were you doing up?

- I had to finish my ironing.

You did? You're gonna come

with Daddy now, okay?

Eliot? Okay, it's all right!

Okay, let's go.

Stay there!

Keep your eye on the street!

- Where's Malone?

- On the stake-out. He'll be here.

- Who's this guy?

- He's on Malone's list. He's okay.

Drive to the station. She'll let you

know where to go when you get there.

Take off your hat.

Anything happens, shoot first.

You understand me?

Yes, Mr. Ness.

Kiss.

- Eskimo and butterfly, Dad.

- Okay.

Now, go!

Malone!

- Are they okay?

- Yeah.

- You sure the cop's okay?

- He'd better be, he's my cousin.

I want to hurt the man, Malone!

You hear me?!

I want to take the battle to him.

I want to hurt Capone.

Well, then, a Merry Christmas,

we've got some great news.

A huge international

shipment's coming.

We've got the time, the place

and the whole shebang.

Well, what are we doin'

standin' here, then?

How do you come by this information?

That's the second rule

of police work:

If you want to keep a secret,

don't tell the boss.

You know he's making

over $3 million a year?

But he's paid no taxes,

nothing's in his name.

If we can establish

any payments to him,

we can prosecute him

for income tax evasion.

What?

I said, we can prosecute him

for income tax evasion!

Try a murderer

for not paying his taxes?!

Well, it's better than nothing.

All right. How do we

link him to the money?

I don't know.

Go to sleep, Oscar.

A convoy of 5-10 trucks

with good Canadian whiskey

will be met by a high-level member

of the Capone organization.

He will be bringing full payment

for the shipment in cash.

Now, the meet is to take place just

over the border on the American side.

We want to confiscate

the liquor and the cash.

- Captain?

- We will await their signal.

When they're on the road

and have given the signal,

we will engage from

the Canadian side of the bridge.

Thus taking them

by surprise from the rear.

And surprise, as you very well know,

Mr. Ness, is half the battle.

Surprise is half the battle.

Many things are half the battle.

Losing is half the battle.

Let's think about what is all the battle.

Let's take the fight

to them, gentlemen!

Thank you, Captain.

All right! Move out!

Take it easy.

Take it easy!

It'll all happen in time.

This is the job.

Don't wait for it to happen,

don't even want it to happen.

Just watch what does happen.

Are you my 'tutor'?

Yes, sir, that I am.

- Did you check it already?

- Yes, I did.

Then leave it alone.

You're a good cop, Giuseppe.

You're doing good.

You're gonna do just fine.

- Wallace, are you cold?

- Yes, I am, a little.

Then stamp your feet.

It'll keep you warm.

You learn something,

Stitches and standing in the rain...

Listen, Mr. Ness...

I had an idea.

You all have your spare shells?

If you have to fire,

hold low and squeeze.

And put your man down.

Because he'll do the same to you.

Shoot to kill.

- Did you hear what I said?

- Yes, I did. Shoot to kill.

Let's go.

Easy...

The Canadians will not show

until I flash the badge.

So we must cover the ground

to the bridge as quickly as possible.

George, the count's right.

I'm concerned about

the size of these barrels!

Malone, you and I will

take the men...

Move it! Move it, Georgie!

Get over here!

Leave the stuff in the cars!

Charge!

What the hell!

You got to die of somethin'.

- Look! Here they come!

- Mounties! Let's get out of here!

Move, move!

Let's go!

I can't believe it!

- Here are the codes.

- Give me that.

Don't let those cars off the bridge!

Stone, take the first car!

Get this sh*t out of the way!

Tough guy!

Stone!

Go!

Stone!

I'm okay.

You thugs!

You all right?

Yeah. There he is! Go get him!

All right!

Enough of this running sh*t!

Well, Georgie-boy!
