Of the many gangsters that operated during the Prohibition era, Alphonse 'Al' Capone (also nicknamed 'Scarface', which he hated) was arguably the most famous, and feared, of them all. The undisputed ruler of the Chicago Outfit, he used the corruption that was rampant in Chicago and his ruthlessness to expand the Outfit into one of the most powerful (and violent) criminal organisations in the Midwest.
Virtually untouchable thanks to the corrupt Chicago authorities, it was not until the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929 that the violence of his operations proved too much to ignore, and the federal government intervened, setting Capone's downfall into motion.
This is the full length version of the episode. Previous uploads are TVrips that have about 3 minutes of footage cut.
