The Untouchables (1959): October 16, 1930. Jackson Parker is a small-time bootlegger, he has his henchman Benny deliver bottles of booze to places on a college campus: student unions, fraternity houses. Parker is arrogant, he tells Benny he could "throw him out with the rest of the garbage." Parker has big plans: he thinks he's meeting with Frank Nitti. At the Montmartre club, Nitti is telling his assembled lieutenants, "And after we get that pipeline set up, the feds will have to dig up every street in Chicago to find it." A round of laughter. Harry, who is guarding the door, tells Nitti that the punk is here; Nitti says to throw him out, but then decides to let him in for amusement. When they laugh at Parker's small-time bootlegging operation on a college campus, arrogant Parker says, "I thought I'd be talking to a more intelligent group of men." Nitti warns him, "One more like that, and the ice is gonna crack right out from under you." Now that they've had their laugh, Nitti has Parker thrown out. Although Parker had bragged to Nitti that his operation could move 100 cases/day, Benny only sells 4 bottles of bad hooch that day-- all of them land the students in the hospital, one of the students is Jimmy Farris. Ness meets with Jimmy and his older brother, Associate Professor Harold Farris. Jimmy is temporarily (possibly permanently) blind from wood alcohol (methanol) contamination; Jimmy gives Eliot a description of Benny. Ness and his men are on the case, they cover the college campus. The newspaper headlines read: "4 students blinded by bootleg whiskey." The papers call whoever did it scum-- the editors would have been even more vitriolic had they known that Parker did it on purpose (it seems Parker wanted to warn students of the dangers of cheep hooch, so they would be willing to pay more for the good stuff). Parker meets with Nitti again; this time Nitti slugs him one. Parker swears he's innocent. Later, Parker kills Benny, trying to make him the scapegoat; he calls Nitti and tells him the problem is taken care of. Then Parker meets with Nitti again. Parker gives Nitti some big talk-- he promises him distribution at all the major campuses: University of Chicago, Northwestern, DePaul, Loyola, the medical schools. Nitti sneers, "You think I can send my boys in there to hustle booze? They'd stick out like Primo Carnera at a midgets' convention."* Parker tells Nitti he won't use gangsters to push the booze, he will hire ordinary men who are desperate for employment in the Depression. Parker says, "They will blend into the surroundings like chameleons," then arrogant Parker talks down to Nitti, adding, "those are lizards that change their colors." Nitti snaps, "I know what they are. And I know what you are. I don't like you." However, Nitti agrees to supply him with booze for 30 days, and he'd better move 100 cases of whiskey/day. Nitti says, if anything goes wrong, it's Parker's neck. Then Parker proceeds to hire salesmen-- he'll only hire men with wives and kids, and Parker threatens to harm their children should they squeal to the cops if they get arrested; (Parker is scum). October 24, the distribution on college campuses starts; this is the big Snowball. Ness arrests salesman Paul Meadows and grills him; but Meadows won't talk because he loves his 3 kids. Ness takes Meadows to the hospital, to meet with 19-year-old Jimmy who is still blind, and may be permanently. Meadows says that the man responsible threatened to hurt his family. At the hospital, Ness finds out that a girl, 18-year-old Barbara Harrison, has just died from wood alcohol. At the Montmartre club, an angry Ness confronts Nitti; Ness dramatically smashes a couple of bottles of whiskey on his table. Ness tells him that 4 students are blind, and Barbara is dead. As for Benny, Ness gives Nitti the revelation that his fingerprints were all over the still; so now Nitti knows that Benny was working for Parker the whole time. Ness tells Nitti to give him the name of the man responsible, and he'll put him away for half a dozen lifetimes. But we can see from the look on Nitti's face that he wants to take care of this himself. Late on the night of October 29, a speeding car dumps the body of Jackson Parker on the sidewalk, in front of Ness, Rico and Lee Hobson. As a way of showing this was to get the scum who distributed the bad hooch, the body had been soaked in wood alcohol. The scum was too dirty to live, even in prison-- this time, Nitti did Ness a favor by bumping off Parker.
