The Organization

Chicago.  November 9, 1932.  Al Capone was in prison, and Frank Nitti was running his Organization.  But other crime overlords were ready to take over; the biggest was Joe Kulak, from St. Louis.  Joe Kulak was called ""The Teacher"" because he had trained so many Underworld bigshots, and given them their start.  Eliot Ness and his men keep tabs on Kulak from the moment he arrives in the Windy City.  Kulak goes to the Westside Athletic Club, a front for crime boss Arnie Seeger.  In his office, Seegar talks to Kulak and lays out his plans for the whole country: gambling, whiskey, houses (of prostitution), dope.  Seegar figures to assign territories: Bouchard in New Orleans, Nicholson in K.C., Danny Kurtz (his lieutenant, sitting right next to him) for Pittsburgh... Kulak interrupts him, saying he already has Malone for Pittsburgh.  Kurtz loses his temper over being cut out; (so Seeger decides to have Kurtz rubbed out that night).  Seegar desperately wants Kulak to attend his upcoming meet

Un gangster de moyenne envergure tente de mettre sur pied une nouvelle organisation qui rassemblerait toutes les bandes du pays. Kulak, parrain respecté, doit superviser le projet mais Ness est renseigné par un indic récemment libéré de prison.

Al Seegar se hace cargo de la mafia de Capone. Y cuando Ness se entera, Seegar da su primera orden oficial: matarlo.
