When it comes to getting Capone,

I don't care who I use.

You remember Deeny O'Bannion?

Remember Hymie Weiss?

Well, you ought to...

because you helped load

their coffins into the hearse.

Or maybe when a friend of yours is gone,

you don't give a damn no more. Well, I do.

And Deeny O'Bannion was my friend,

and I don't forget him.

And I don't forget

who had him knocked off.

Hymie Weiss and me,

we was with Deeny...

not 10 minutes before they got him.

Now, remember those greaseballs.

They'd just as soon put a bullet

in your back as eat a pizza.

To hell with them Sicilians.

Be seeing you, Hymie.

Morning, Johnny.

Ah, good morning, boys.

No.

And that's

the way Capone operates.

That's the murdering double-crosser

who swore he'd keep out of the North Side.

Well, I'm not waiting around

for Capone to put me in no cemetery.

We nail him before he nails me.

All right, let's nail him

to get it over with.

I just say we do it without the help...

of a two-bit spaghetti

snapper likeJoe Aiello.

Frank, you're a dummy,

you know that?

Capone's protection

comes from the Mafia.

He can't make a move

without permission of the head wop.

And he can't be the head himself

because he's not Sicilian.

So he's got his own man,

Patsy Lolordo, running the outfit.

Now, your spaghetti snapper,

Joe Aiello, is a pal of Lolordo's.

He helps us knock over Lolordo,

then he takes over the Mafia.

And that's when we take old Scarface

for a nice one-way ride.

And if it don't work,

he'll take us for a ride.

Well, it better work,

because I'm putting you in charge.

Well, I'm not saying it cannot be done...

especially if Aiello gets us in there.

Albert R. Kachellek,

alias James Clark-

born Krojoencke, Germany,

February 25, 1888.

Ex-convict. Burglar.

Car thief. Suspected killer.

Since marrying Bugs Moran's

sister five years ago...

he has become the number-two man

in the Moran gang.

And then we need a good

driver for the getaway car.

I don't care how you do it.

Just get rid of Patsy Lolordo. Quick.

I learned how to drive

when I was young-

John May-

born Chicago, Illinois,

September 28, 1897.

Married. Seven children.

Twice arrested on charges of safe-blowing

and burglary. No convictions.

Has worked occasionally for

the Moran gang as an auto mechanic.

He has promised his wife he will stay

out of further trouble with the law...

but he is three months

behind in the rent.

I'd really like to help you out, Mr. Clark.

It's just that I don't-

Up to you, Johnny.

You want to do us a favor, fine.

If you don't, that's your luck out.

Here, see?

Well, I'm not really

a trigger man, you see?

Matter of fact,

I don't even own a gun.
