1931年的秋天 In the fall of 1931...
查尔斯 见到你真好 Lucky, good to see you.
查尔斯·洛基·卢西亚诺 Charles "Lucky" Luciano
美国最具势力的黑帮头目 calls the most powerful gangsters in America...
你好啊 Al.
来到了芝加哥的一所酒店 To a hotel in Chicago,
参加一个将改变历史的会议 for a meeting that will soon change everything.
街头的血腥杀戮必须得到制止 The blood on the streets must stop,
冤冤相报何时了 复仇的死循环也要停下 and these cycles of revenge must end.
我们也许是罪犯 We may be criminals,
但我们可不是嗜血的野蛮人 but that doesn't mean we're savages.
我们必须把生意经营的正正经经 有声有色 We have to run our business like a business.
要做到这点 首先 我们就得组建起各自的家庭 To begin, we start organizing our families,
就像在西西里岛上一样 like we did in sicily.
头目 手下和各位参谋 The Capos, the Crews, the Consiglieres,
都要向家庭的领导汇报 all reporting to the head of the family,
但是领导之上再无他人 but there will be no more boss of bosses.
我们会组建起一个理事会 Instead, we'll have a board of directors,
也就是由纽约五大家庭领导组成的委员会 a commission run by the heads of the five New York families.
他们对所有事务拥有最终决定权 They will have the final say in all matters,
甚至可以决定生死 even life and death.
为将来的和平和钞票干杯 To peace and profits.
就这样 In a single move,
卢西亚诺创建了美国历史上 Luciano creates the most powerful
最强大的有组织的罪犯财团 organized crime syndicate America has ever seen.
统一了这个国家里成百上千 Uniting thousands of ruthless criminals
各自为政 毫无组织的罪犯 across the country...
给上亿美元的项目行动创造了秩序 And bringing order to a multimillion-dollar operation.
这就是现代美国黑手党的诞生 It's the birth of the modern American Mafia,
这一切还得从20多年前说起 and it all began more than two decades earlier.
纽约
1906年 In 1906,
大约有90万的移民涌进了纽约 nearly 900,000 immigrants pour into New York City.
在他们其中 就有一个九岁的西西里岛人 名叫查尔斯·卢西亚诺 Among them, is a nine-year-old sicilian named Charles Luciano.
卢西亚诺和家人怀着对未来的美好憧憬来到这里 Luciano and his family arrive with hopes of a better life,
但是他们所看到的却和想象中大相径庭 but what they find is nothing like what they expected.
纽约城里住着超过四百万人口 More than four million people live in New York City,
他们都按照种族不同住在分开的公寓里 piled into highly segregated tenements.
大多数人都兢兢业业干活维持生计 And while most fight to scrape out an honest living,
但有些人却走上了犯罪的道路 others turn to crime.
随着社区的发展扩大 As neighborhoods sprang up,
无论是犹太人 爱尔兰人还是意大利人也好 whether they were Jewish, Irish, or Italian,
都有人尝试新的赚钱方式 you had exploiters.
塞尔温·莱布
作家 《五个家庭》作者
都出现了黑帮帮徒 You had gangsters.
他们抢劫同个社区的人 They plundered from their own people.
打劫商店店主 Shaked down storekeepers.
如果你不给钱 If you didn't pay money for them,
就会被打得满地找牙 you might be beaten up.
这钱对他们来说来得很容易 And it was easy money for them,
他们看到了一个赚快钱的机会 and it was an easy market.
城市各地 Across the city,
存在着数百个无组织的帮派 他们 hundreds of unorganized gangs terrorize entire blocks
通过争夺来划定地盘 in a chaotic turf war.
纽约城里的流氓混混可谓各式各样 There's a wide array of mobsters in New York City.
戴维·皮特鲁撒
作家 《鲁斯坦》作者
混混之上还有更高级的混混 There's mobs upon Mob.
那时候真是充满了危险的气氛 It is damn dangerous
因为他们随时会打起来 动拳头甚至开枪什么的 because they are knocking each other off on the streets.
在这么动荡的环境中 In this unstable environment,
卢西亚诺一家挣扎求生 Luciano's family struggles to survive.
但是卢西亚诺的父亲一直找不到工作 And as Luciano's father fails to find work,
于是他终日酗酒 he turns to alcohol,
把脾气都发在家人身上 and takes his frustrations out on his family.
在15岁的时候 By age 15,
卢西亚诺就已经辍学了 Luciano has dropped out of school.
就像下东区的大多数孩子一样 And like most teenagers from the lower east side,
他终日游荡在街上 he's hit the streets,
想尽办法帮补家庭 looking for ways to support his family.
下一个 下一个 Next hand. Next hand.
对于那些跟我一起长大的人来说 For the people that I grew up with,
法兰基·维利
歌唱家 《一年四季》演唱者
除了犯罪这一条路 who ended up getting involved in crime,
他们真的别无选择 there was nothing else.
他们没有接受过良好教育 They didn't have a great education.
在那时候 如果你出身贫寒 In-in those days, if you came from a poor environment,
犯罪就是赚钱的好方法 this was a way of-of earning money.
卢西亚诺决定加入社区十多个 Luciano decides to join one of the dozens of gangs
帮派里其中一个 in his neighborhood.
大多数移民孩子只和自己种族的人玩耍 But, while most immigrants stick to their own kind,
但卢西亚诺却是和几个身强体壮的犹太年轻人混上了 Luciano teams up with a couple of tough Jewish teenagers
他们叫做迈耶·兰斯基和本杰明·“臭虫”·西里尔 named Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel.
我爷爷 迈耶·兰斯基 My grandfather, Meyer Lansky,
小迈耶·兰斯基
迈耶·兰斯基的孙子
是在纽约街头和洛基·卢西亚诺遇到的 met Lucky Luciano on the streets of New York.
当时他正被人追赶 He was being run down for some money
有人想要抢他手中要运到其他区的钱 to cross over to the other neighborhood.
我那1米62的爷爷说 “我不会给你们钱的 My 5'4" Grandfather said, "I'm not giving you any money.
要钱 你们就得先打倒我” "You'll have to fight me for it."
就是在这个时候 卢西亚诺对他肃然起敬 And at that point, Luciano respected him.
他说我爷爷是他见过的最勇敢的人 He said he was the bravest man he ever met.
迈耶·兰斯基是俄罗斯移民 Meyer Lansky is a Russian immigrant
有着极高的数学天赋 with a knack for mathematics,
他的父母来美国是为了 whose parents came to America
躲避宗教迫害 to avoid religious persecution.
七 噢 Seven, oh!
毕斯·西里尔 While Bugsy Siegel
是个生活在布鲁克林的暴力少年 is an intimidating Jewish kid from Brooklyn,
大家都知道他长得好看 也知道他有着暴脾气 known for his charm, and also his violent outbursts.
臭虫·西里尔之所以有这样的花名是因为 Bugsy Siegel got his nickname because when you were bugs,
臭虫都有臭脾气 you were nuts.
把他们身上的天赋结合起来 Combining their unique talents,
卢西亚诺 兰斯基 还有西里尔开始 Luciano, Lansky, and Siegel begin to establish themselves
把自己打造成下东区 as an up and coming criminal force
即将崛起的犯罪势力 on the lower east side.
卢西亚诺真的能算是个典型的美国人 Luciano was really an American.
他没有上一代的 He didn't have the prejudice
里奇·科恩
作家 《顽强的犹太人》作者
那种对外来者的偏见 of the-the generation older than him.
也不在乎别人的出身 He didn't really care about somebody's background.
可能比他年纪大的人会说 Whereas, a guy older than him might say,
“这是个犹太人 我不想和他做生意” "This is a Jew, and I'm not doing business with him.
或者“我们不和他们做生意” "We don't do business with them."
但是他会想 这个人和我一起 He could see, this guy and me, together,
可以拼出一番事业 这才是他所在意的 we can make something, and it sorta carried him.
在他的团伙有了一点小成就之后 As his crew starts to have small-time success,
卢西亚诺开始考虑加入 Luciano sets his sights on joining the ranks
更大型的组织 of a much bigger operation.
纽约势力最大的黑帮头目之一 One of the more powerful gangsters in New York
是个冷血无情的西西里岛人 名叫乔·马塞里亚 is a brutal sicilian thug named Joe Masseria.
马塞里亚通过暴力和恐吓来维持统治 Masseria rules through violence and intimidation,
现在他的统治范围也扩展到 and is now asserting his dominance
卢西亚诺所居住的社区中来 in Luciano's neighborhood.
在马塞里亚手下工作是他们通往成功的 Working for Masseria would be a fast track
快速通道 to the big leagues.
但是 要取得他的信任 But, to get in with the gangster,
卢西亚诺知道他得找个机会证明自己的价值 Luciano knows he'll need an opportunity to prove his worth.
快点 给钱 Come on, pay!
我真的没钱 我发誓没骗你们 I don't got it. I swear.
他在说谎 He's lyin'.
快点给钱 Just pay already.
我真的没钱 真的 Please, I can't. I swear.
看看他身上有什么 快点 See what he has on him. Come on.
动手 Let's go.
好像只有50块 Looks like 50 bucks.
看看他嘴里有没有金子之类的东西 See if he has any gold in his mouth.
什么 What?
有几块填充物 A couple fillings.
好 太好了 Good. That's good.
拿出来 Get 'em.
马塞里亚新招进来的成员中 One of the newest recruits in Masseria's operation

叫做弗兰克·科斯特洛 named Frank Costello.
我的天 Oh, Christ.
走 快给我滚 Go on. Get outta here.
等等 Wait.
也许我们可以帮你 Maybe we can give you a hand.
毕斯 Bugs.
查尔斯·卢西亚诺 Charles Luciano,
迈耶·兰斯基 Meyer Lansky,
和毕斯·西里尔 and Bugsy Siegel
正在从纽约的下层社会中崛起 are rising in the ranks of the New York underworld,
他们向未来的黑帮头目弗兰克·科斯特洛 after proving themselves as valuable recruits
证明了自己的价值 to up-and-coming gangster, Frank Costello.
在接下来的几年里 Over the next few years,
他们为科斯特洛做成了多单生意 they run successful rackets for Costello...
也就是为乔·马塞里亚这个冷血的黑帮领袖出了力 Under Joe Masseria, a ruthless criminal kingpin.
到了1919年 他们的团伙成员 By 1919, the crew was nothing more
都已经成了小犯罪者 than a group of petty criminals,
通过小型赌博和收取保护费 making money through small-time gambling rings
来赚钱 and protection shakedowns.
弗兰克·科斯特洛看到了壮大团伙的机会 Seeing an opportunity to strengthen their crew,
他带进来了一个士兵 Frank Costello brings in a new soldier.
大家伙 都动起来 动作快点 Guys, we gotta move. We gotta move.
这里还有16箱 我们得全部搬出去才行 We got 16 boxes up here. We gotta get 'em outta here.
动作麻利点 Let's go.
加油啊 一次扛两箱 Come on, guys. Two at a time.
或者三箱 快点 Three at a time. Let's go.
手脚麻利点 不要停下来 Let's go. Let's keep it movin'.
加油 It's all right.
-嘿 弗兰克 -维多 - Hey, Frank. - Vito.
我想你见见我的朋友 I want you to meet my associate,
查尔斯·卢西亚诺 Charlie Luciano.
-很高兴认识你 -我也是 - Nice to meet ya. - Likewise.
维多是干进出口生意的 Vito's in the import-export business.
大多数是进口 Mostly import.
维多·吉诺维斯是个比较低级的西西里帮徒 Vito Genovese is a low-level sicilian thug,
他因经常被派出杀人而广为人知 and has earned a reputation as a lethal enforcer.
打死你 Busted!
维多·吉诺维斯是那种典型的硬汉 Vito Genovese was almost a classical tough guy.
塞尔温·莱布
作家 《五个家庭》作者
他会对那些无辜的人动手 Who'd be a guy who-who beat up innocent victims.
敢对任何人动手 Who would slug anybody.
心情不好连狗都踢 Who would kick a dog when he was down.
没有什么他是不敢做的 There was nothing, no atrocity he wouldn't pull.
最硬的硬汉 Toughest guy in the world.
他很在乎名声和威望 And he wanted that reputation.
-是不是帅爆了 -你真恶心 - Wasn't that crazy? - You're a sick bastard, man.
至少有热乎乎的大奶子看 Got a smokin' hot rack, though.
喔喔喔 Whoo-hoo-hoo.
嘿 查理 给你 Hey, Charlie, there ya go.
给我烟 Smokes.
随着维多·吉诺维斯的加入 With Vito Genovese on board,
他们已经做好了准备 把团伙 they're ready to transform their crew
从低级的街头混混 转化为合法的经营组织 from low-level street thugs into a legitimate gang.
迈耶·兰斯基负责财务 Meyer Lansky is the money man.
毕斯·西里尔是拥有冷血本性的 Bugsy Siegel is the suave charmer
温和谦谦君子 with ruthless instincts.
弗兰克·科斯特洛拥有广泛人脉 Frank Costello has all the connections
也知道一个组织该如何运作 and knows how to play the system.
卢西亚诺是个怀揣野心的梦想者 And Luciano is a visionary with relentless ambition.
他们知道现在万事俱备 只欠机会了 They know all they need now is the right opportunity.
1920年的1月17号 On January 17th, 1920,
政府通过了第十八条宪法修正案 the government passes the 18th Amendment,
禁酒令
在午夜
正式生效
禁酒令正式生效 and prohibition goes into effect,
禁酒令让全国酒吧纷纷倒闭
现在销售散发酒水已经是非法的了 making the sale and distribution of alcohol illegal.
他们以为 The theory was,
禁酒令可以遏制美国人对酒的依赖 prohibition would, uh, decrease, uh, alcoholism,
可以提高国人的道德规范 and it would increase the morals
以及道德品行 and the moral fiber of Americans.
但是事与愿违 The whole concept backfired.
禁酒令不仅没有让国人清醒 Instead of cleaning up America,
反而是被黑帮所利用 prohibition plays into the hands of the gangsters,
在一夜之间为他们创造了价值数亿的产业 creating a billion-dollar industry virtually overnight.
禁酒令是政府所作出的对黑帮 Prohibition was one of the best things
最有利的决定 the government ever did for the Mob.
因为供求关系的影响 Because supply and demand,
人们想喝酒 and the demand was people wanted to drink
但却找不到酒源 and there was no supply.
这样就让黑帮大赚了一笔 So, the gangsters made a lot of money on it.
每两个星期就得给我交钱 I want these payments coming in every two weeks.
没交钱的 都给我杀了 If a guy doesn't pay, kill him.
走吧 你惹到我了 Come on. You're pissing me off.
赶紧滚 Get outta here.
乔·马塞里亚一直都是在靠赌博赚钱的 Joe Masseria has been running gambling rackets,
但是现在他把全部生意都 but he changes his entire business plan
投在了利用禁酒令贩卖酒水上 to take advantage of prohibition.
马塞里亚建造了在仓库里 Masseria creates an underground network
开设私人造酒厂的产业 of bootlegging distilleries in warehouses,
把产品卖给城市里的普通人 selling his own product at a curbside liquor market
还有饮酒场所 and secret drinking establishments
叫做“私酒坊” called "Speakeasies."
短短几个月 In just months,
纽约就开设了十万家私酒坊 there are as many as 100,000 speakeasies in New York,
其中上千所都在卖马塞里亚的酒 and thousands of them are selling Masseria's liquor.
禁酒令让马塞里亚的财富翻了几倍 Prohibition probably reverses Joe Masseria's fortunes
比同阶层里的其他人都多 more than anybody else in the underworld.
他从一个小小的贩卖私酒商 He goes from being petty bootlegger,
摇身一变 成了下层社会的主宰 to the king of the underworld.
乔·马塞里亚变成了乔大老板 Joe Masseria becomes Joe the boss.
多亏了禁酒令 马塞里亚的帝国才得以扩张 Thanks to prohibition, Masseria's empire expands,
现在已经覆盖了半个曼哈顿 and now covers half of Manhattan.
带过来 Take that over there.
这个家伙一直都拖着钱不还 Now, this guy's been short all week.
-是谁啊 -把他交给维多吧 - Yeah, who is it? - Send 'em to Vito.
不 我想你叫个人去和他谈谈 No, I want you to have a boy talk to him.
与科斯特洛一起 Working with Costello,
卢西亚诺和他的团伙为马塞里亚赚了许多钱 Luciano and his crew are bringing in money for Masseria.
但是还没多到引起他的注意 But not enough to get noticed.
迈耶 过来 Meyer, come here.
卢西亚诺开始构思一个计划 Luciano begins to devise a plan.
想要以此引起马塞里亚的注意 One that he hopes will get Masseria's attention.
要让大家动起来 计划才能成功 Get things movin'. Get it movin', man.
我知道 我知道 明白 I know, I know, I know. I understand.
黑手党人 比如说卢西亚诺 The Mafia people, like Luciano,
都很有野心 were ambitious.
他们都是野心勃勃的企业家 They were entrepreneurial.
不愿意一辈子屈就在底层 They were not willing to exist on the lowest level
靠别人的施舍过日子 of the social pecking order.
他们都是不会放过任何机会的人 They were opportunistic people.
那些酒就从这里走过 The booze is comin' right through here,
一直去到新泽西的海岸 right up the coast of New Jersey.
最后去到费城 It's headin' to Philly.
这些肯定都是好货 It's gonna be good stuff.
这路线准吗 Are we sure about that route?
我们跟踪了好几个星期了 We tracked it for a couple weeks.
好吧 Yeah.
这可是个重要时刻 伙计们 This is the big time, boys.
卢西亚诺想要劫持敌对帮派的车 Luciano decides to hijack a rival gang's truck,
车上装满了非法的私酒 然后他要把酒运给马塞里亚 filled with illegal booze, and deliver it to Masseria.
如果这事能成 If he can pull it off,
他就有机会在马塞里亚的组织里晋升 he'll have a chance to move up in Masseria's organization
这样才能赚大钱 and finally earn some big money.
如果有人想退出不干 现在就说出来 If anybody wants to back out, now's the time.
卢西亚诺在团伙里居带头地位 Luciano emerged from this whole group
因为他不怕做决定 because he was not afraid to make decisions.
理查德·哈默
《洛基·卢西亚诺的最后嘱托》合著者
他是个天生的领导 He was a leader.
干杯 Salud.
哈蒙顿 新泽西
西部在这个国家有着悠久的历史 This country has a history of the old west.
你也知道 有那些拓荒者 牛仔 I mean, you know, we were the pioneers, and cowboys,
西部枪手 还有其他 and the gunslingers, and all that.
乔·曼蒂格纳尔
作家 《教父》（第三部）作者
突然就过了一百年 I mean, you know, jump cut 100 years,
然后就遍地是黑帮帮徒了 and now you got the Mob.
他们就像是牛仔 只是少了细条纹衫 It-they're just-they're just cowboys in pinstripe suits.
有什么可以帮到你们吗 Need some help?
并没有 Not exactly.
你们难道不知道这辆车是谁的吗 Don't you know whose truck this is?
是马塞里亚的 Masseria.
乔·马塞里亚 Joe Masseria.
卢西亚诺和他的团伙抢了一个大单 Luciano and his crew have just pulled off a huge heist.
但问题是 The only problem is,
他们抢的车是他们老板的 they've robbed a truck belonging to their own boss.
为了干出一番事业 In an effort to make a name for themselves,
查尔斯·卢西亚诺和他的同伴抢了一个大单 Charles Luciano and his gang have pulled off a daring heist,
但却发现他们不小心抢了 only to learn they've inadvertently stolen
他们老板 乔·马塞里亚的东西 from their own boss, Joe Masseria.
卢西亚诺知道他不能就这么把 Luciano knows that he and his crew can't just return
他们抢的东西还回去 what they've stolen,
因为马塞里亚会把他们 as Masseria will make a brutal example
用来杀鸡敬猴 以儆效尤 of anyone who crosses him.
我是弗兰克 让我进去 It's Frank. Let me in.
马塞里亚派人四处搜捕我们 Masseria's got guys lookin' for us everywhere.
我们也不能一辈子躲在这里不出去啊 We can't just stay holed up here forever.
我们去干掉他吧 Let's just take him out.
不是他死 就是我们亡 他死好过我们死 是不是 It's either him or us. It might as well be him, right?
你不可能就这么走出去干掉马塞里亚 You can't just walk in there and take out Masseria.
你说的对 You're right...
但我们也不能像狗一样逃避追捕 But we're not gonna be hunted down like dogs, either.
那我们该怎么办呢 查理 What the hell are we gonna do, Charlie?
我亲自去见马塞里亚 I'll go see Masseria myself.
卢西亚诺很聪明 是条硬汉 Luciano was smart, but he was a tough guy,
又熟知街头生存法则 and he was a street guy.
这些品质加起来 And you put that together,
就是一股不可抵挡的力量 and you got this kinda unstoppable force.
敢这样堂而皇之地回来 你胆子不小嘛 You got some big balls comin' over here like this.
给我不现在就杀了你的理由 Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now.
我不知道那辆车是你的 I didn't know the trucks were yours.
-如果我知道那是你的 我就 -闭嘴 - If I knew they were yours, I would ne... - Shut up.
卢西亚诺 你杀过人吗 Ever kill anyone, Luciano?
从没 No.
杀人其实挺简单的 It's actually pretty easy.
有人说 Some people say...
这是一种慢慢形成的习惯 It's an acquired taste.
但是对我来说 杀人其实是很自然的事情 But, to me, it comes very naturally.
我可以弥补 Let me make it right.
太迟了 Too late.
报上你想杀的人 我来帮你杀 You give me a name... I'll murder for you.
跟马塞里亚交涉的怎么样了 How'd it go with Masseria?
反正是活着回来了 I'm alive.
该死的 他们果然揍了你一顿 Damn, they really worked you over.
谢谢你为我们扛下这罪名 Thanks for taking the fall for us.
现在谢我还太早了 Don't thank me yet.
我需要你的帮助 I need your help.
帮你什么 With what?
帮我杀了厄姆贝托·瓦伦蒂 Killing Umberto Valenti.
什么 What?
如果我不杀了他 我们都得死 If I don't kill him, we're all dead.
厄姆贝托·瓦伦蒂是个令人闻风丧胆的刺客 Umberto Valenti is a feared assassin
他刺杀的人高达20多名 who's murdered over 20 men...
就在前几天 他差点杀了乔·马塞里亚 And nearly killed Joe Masseria just days earlier.
卢西亚诺之前从未杀过人 Luciano has never killed before.
但现在他要杀纽约最危险的 And now he must take out one of the most dangerous mobsters
黑帮暴徒之一 in New York.
有些黑帮帮徒天生喜欢杀人 There are mobsters who liked to kill.
但是 有些帮徒 But, there are other mobsters,
和卢西亚诺一样 and Luciano is in this category,
只在逼不得已的时候才杀人 they'll kill when they must.
而现在 他不得不做出这个艰难的决定 And, he has to make some tough decisions.
连续几周 For weeks,
卢西亚诺和他的同伙们都在计划着如何干掉厄姆贝托·瓦伦蒂 Luciano and his crew plan the hit on Umberto Valenti,
等待着最完美的出手时机 waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
我总觉得 当一个聪明人 I always felt that the mentality of a wise guy
迫不得已开枪杀人的时候 when he has to shoot somebody,
他的感觉 应该和蹲在战壕里差不多吧 it's no different from, uh, being in the trenches.
所以 战争就是战争 So, war is war.
一日为兵 终身为兵 A soldier is a soldier,
不管你是为聪明人卖命的兵 whether you're a soldier for the wise guys
还是为政府卖命的兵 都不能改变这个事实 or you're a soldier for the government.
纽约 第二大道
1922年8月11日
他来了 There he is.
你准备好了吗 You ready?
他来了 There he is.
你准备好了吗 You ready?
加入了帮派 In the Mob,
你就得遵从命令 执行暴力任务 you will get an order to commit a violent act.
但你得把自己和任务分清楚 Now, you have to detach yourself from the act.
你必须觉得你这么做只是为了效忠老大 You have to think that you are paying homage to the boss,
是他逼你做的 and you're doing what's expected of you.
所以 你必须意志坚定 So, you have to be strong-minded,
还有 觉得自己这样子做是情有可原的 and, uh, think you have a license to do it.
反正不管怎样 你就是得服从命令 You-you're just gonna do it, no matter what.
在他25岁的时候查尔斯·卢西亚诺 At age 25,
查尔斯·卢西亚诺杀生命中的第一个人 Charles Luciano has committed his first murder.
他救了自己和同伴的性命 He saves himself and his crew,
但同时 也给了马塞里亚控制自己的能力 but he's also put himself under Masseria's control.
马塞里亚看到这个混混的潜质并提拔了他 Masseria sees the gangster's potential and promotes him.
你会因此得到很多好处的 A lot of good it'd do you.
只用花点时间 听我说一下 Just listen for a second.
作为马塞里亚的得力手下之一 Now in Masseria's inner circle,
卢西亚诺被派去看管高风险的业务 Luciano was ordered to run a high stakes racket,
就是贩卖刚被宣布违法的止痛药 selling a recently outlawed painkiller...
也就是海洛因 Known as heroin.
在那个时候 美国的青少年使用 Heroin was legal in America
克雷格的海洛因混合剂
克雷格药店
海洛因是合法的 into, well, the teens,
而且海洛因也是一种合法的药物 and it's a drug that is legitimate.
海洛因刚上市时 It was just being sold,
迈克·格林
历史学家 内华达大学任教
人们发现 吃了它就能很快入睡 and people could get to sleep a little more easily.
一些药物里面也都含有海洛因 比如咳嗽糖浆 There'd be heroin in things like cough syrup,
海洛因
沙洛芬
丙三醇
阿司匹林
in aspirin.
阿司匹林
海洛因
丙三醇
每25个纽约人之中就有一个药物上瘾
但是海洛因的使用和管制很快就失控了 Heroin usage quickly spirals out of control.
当政府最终决定宣布海洛因为违法药物时 And when the government finally makes it illegal,
海洛因的需求突飞猛涨 demand skyrockets.
海洛因成了乔·马塞里亚最大的生意 Heroin becomes Joe Masseria's biggest business.
黑帮不染指毒品这一说法 The myth of the Mafia not dealing in drugs
源自《教父》这部电影 comes from "The Godfather,"
当唐·柯里昂说出 when Don Corleone spoke the lines about,
“我们不会染指毒品 因为它会腐蚀人类的灵魂”这样的台词时 "We don't do that. It takes people's souls."
我觉得他并没有在说实话 I don't think there's any truth in it.
毕竟 他们对赚钱可是兴趣十足 They were interested in making money.
维托 Vito.
快点 Come on.
卢西亚诺和他的同伴想出了好几种把海洛因 Luciano and his crew devise ways of smuggling heroin
偷运给客户的办法 to their clients,
比如 把海洛因藏到礼帽里 like disguising their deliveries in hatboxes.
他们主要的客户是妓女 Their main customers are prostitutes,
她们都是瘾君子 能信得过 reliable addicts who can sell Luciano's drug
能帮卢西亚诺把货散出去 out of local brothels.
卢西亚诺很快就帮马塞里亚赚了很多钱 Luciano quickly becomes one of Masseria's top earners.
他过去四个月才能赚到的钱 Pulling in what he used to make in four months,
如今一天就可以赚到 in just one day.
卢西亚诺因为走私海洛因被捕了 Luciano was arrested for dealing heroin
被判监禁六个月 and sentenced to six months in prison.
他向马塞里亚证明了自己的忠诚 He's proven himself a loyal member of Masseria's crew,
但却身陷囹圄 but it's only landed him behind bars.
当卢西亚诺被遗忘在牢里时 While Luciano was left rotting in jail,
马塞里亚却继续发着大财 Masseria continues to rake in the profits.
卢西亚诺意识到 如果他想真正成功 Luciano begins to realize that if he truly wants to succeed,
他必须想办法自己当老大 he'll have to find a way to become his own boss.
查尔斯·卢西亚诺服刑满期 After serving his prison sentence,
出来之后 又是自由人了 Charles Luciano was a free man,
他决定要找到更好的办法混得更好 determined to find a better way to succeed in crime.
当卢西亚诺在牢里的时候 While Luciano was behind bars,
他的搭档 迈耶·兰斯基 his partner, Meyer Lansky,
和纽约城里的另一个大走私犯 made an important new contact with another Major bootlegger
搭上了头 in New York City.
这个走私头目叫阿诺德·罗斯坦 His name is Arnold Rothstein.
我爷爷在一次酒吧聚会时 My grandfather met Arnold Rothstein
认识了阿诺德·罗斯坦 at a bar mitzvah.
他们通过介绍认识 并相谈甚欢 They talked. They were introduced.
阿诺德·罗斯坦在我祖父身上看到了潜质 Arnold Rothstein saw potential in my grandfather.
他们谈生意谈了好几个小时 They talked business for hours.
他们两个当时就赢取了对方的尊重 There was an instant respect.
罗斯坦出生在一个中产阶级的犹太家庭里 Born to a middle class Jewish family,
他很小的时候就开始赌博 Rothstein disappointed his parents
他的父母因此对他很失望 by gambling at a young age.
一直以来 他都在操纵赌马 He would go on to fix horse races,
开违法的赌场 operate illegal casinos,
还有操控最臭名昭著的体育博彩 and plan the most notorious sports betting scandal
丑闻 of all time.
运动员有没有收受贿赂
流言称芝加哥白袜队故意输球给赤色队
阿诺德·罗斯坦以其聪明才智而闻名 Arnold Rothstein was known as the brain.
他声称 或更确切地说 他得意洋洋地宣传 One of his claims to fortune, or to acclaim,
他发财得益于他操纵了1919年世界棒球大赛 was that he had fixed the 1919 world series.
这就是后来广为人知的“黑袜事件” It will come to be known as the "Black sox scandal."
阿诺德·罗斯坦在比赛上下了很大的赌注 Arnold Rothstein bets heavily on the series,
然后赢了相当于今天的400美元 winning the modern day equivalent of $4 million.
当禁酒令颁布时 When prohibition goes into effect,
罗斯坦又看到了发财的大好机会 Rothstein sees an opportunity to make a fortune.
但是 和乔·马塞里亚不同 But, unlike Joe Masseria,
罗斯坦把自己的勾当伪装成正经生意 Rothstein treats his operation like a legitimate business
并在纽约赢得了很高的声望 and earns a reputation around the city.
阿诺德·罗斯坦被看做是一个典范 Arnold Rothstein was an influence and model,
这不仅仅是因为他对商业持有长远的目光 not just his vision for business,
还因为他有着独特的生活方式 but his whole way of life.
他既可以在舞厅 He could go into a ballroom
和纽约名流们谈笑风生 and mix with the fanciest people in the city,
又可以和纽约恶棍们 or he could go downtown and handle himself
其乐融融 相处融洽 with the biggest thugs in the city.
他影响了现代黑帮的风格 His style influence becomes the modern gangster.
所以 当你看见街角有个人 So, any time you see a guy on a street corner
拿着一大堆卷在一起的账单时 pull out a big wad of bills all rolled together,
他肯定就是罗斯坦 that's Rothstein.
这挺不错的 That's good.
很好 很不错 好的 嘿 All right, good. Yeah, hey.
就是他 That's him.
他在曼哈顿卖出的酒 He's bringing more booze into Manhattan right now
比谁都多 than anybody.
我们过去吧 Let's go.
迈耶·兰斯基知道 Meyer Lansky knows that
为像罗斯坦这么心思缜密的黑帮头目工作 working for a sophisticated gangster like Rothstein
就是他和卢西亚诺一直 is the big opportunity that he and Luciano
想要的机会 have been looking for.
罗斯坦先生 这是我的朋友 查尔斯·卢西亚诺 Mr. Rothstein, this is my friend, Charlie Luciano.
很高兴认识你 Nice to meet you.
罗斯坦很擅长 Rothstein is very good
预测形势 而且看人很准 at sizing up situations and people.
聪明的人总能看到其他人身上的闪光点 Smart people recognize smartness in other people.
好的 我要说的是 Yeah, I'll tell you what.
我们可以试试水 We're gonna try somethin' out here.
我可以让你们放手一试 I'll give you a shot.
看你们能不能做好 See if you don't screw it up.
卢西亚诺还是乔·马塞里亚帮派中的一员 Luciano was still part of Joe Masseria's gang,
但同时 他开始在背地里为罗斯坦 but he begins distributing alcohol for Rothstein
走私酒水 on the side.
查尔斯 你做得不错 You're on the right track, Charlie.
只要你注意看着点生意 As long as you keep your eye on the business,
就肯定不会出差错 you'll do just fine.
在卢西亚诺身上 In Luciano,
罗斯坦看到了不同于以往普通混混的特质 Rothstein sees a different kind of gangster.
同时他也看到了卢西亚诺的潜质 One who can also see the potential in branching out.
他只在乎赚钱 He believed in makin' money,
所以他不管你来自哪里 and he didn't care on what your nationality was
或你是白人还是黑人 or the color of your skin.
他只想赚钱 He wanted to make money.
他是个商人 He was a businessman.
对卢西亚诺来说 For Luciano,
罗斯坦是值得他尊敬的模范 Rothstein is a role model he can finally look up to.
是他一直想要的但却拥有不了的父亲 The father he always wanted, but never had.
卢西亚诺的新导师教会他 And Luciano's new mentor was teaching him
做生意还有更好的方法 there's a smarter way to do business.
罗斯坦开始教卢西亚诺 Rothstein begins to show Luciano
他是如何将违法的生意变成合法的企业 how to organize his criminal rackets like a corporation.
这些账本你要保存多久 How long do you keep these books?
你得永远留着这些账本 You keep these books forever.
教他如何穿着打扮得像个商人 Teaching him to dress like a businessman...
以及如何贩卖酒水可以让自己的利益最大化 and to sell quality liquor to maximize his profits.
卢西亚诺做不到像罗斯坦这般圆滑老到 Luciano is not exactly as polished as Arnold Rothstein,
但他很乐意去学 but he's willing to learn.
不 不 不 不 不 No, no, no, no, no.
罗斯坦说 “你得成为那种 Rothstein says, "Make yourself into someone
既能处理好下东区生意 "Who can work not only the lower east side,
又能处理好上东区生意的人 "The Upper East Side.
你要成为成功人士” "Be a success."
把这些酒瓶放回后面去 Put these bottles in the back,
就是你拿出来的地方 好吗 wherever you got 'em, all right, men?
-这是罗斯坦给的好货 -好的 很不错 - That's the good stuff, from Rothstein. - Yeah, it's good.
是好货色 的确 没错 真不错 It's good stuff, yeah. Yeah, yeah, really good.
卢西亚诺一边为罗斯坦工作 Working for Rothstein,
一边和自己的同伴开始做起自己的生意 Luciano and his gang begin organizing their operation...
他们向曼哈顿的高档酒吧贩卖 and selling top shelf liquor to high-end speakeasies
高档酒水 around Manhattan.
赚的钱比之前任何时候都多 Pulling in more money than ever before.
乱说些什么呢 Get outta here.
罚他一杯 Give him a drink.
看看这个家伙 Look at this this guy.
只是还有一个问题 There's just one problem.
他们不得不在利润中拿出一大笔钱 They still have to give a huge cut of their profits...
给乔·马塞里亚 To Joe Masseria.
查尔斯·卢西亚诺和他的同伙开始 Charles Luciano and his crew begin following
听取阿诺德·罗斯坦的走私建议 Arnold Rothstein's bootlegging advice
并赚了一大笔钱 and making a fortune.
这些东西都是产自加拿大的 All this stuff, this is the new stuff from Canada.
阿诺德·罗斯坦教他们 Arnold Rothstein teaches 'em,
别跟乔·马塞里亚一样 don't be like Joe Masseria.
别把次品卖给别人 Don't sell people rot gut.
把酒水卖给富人赚的钱比 There's more money in selling to rich people
卖给穷人酒鬼要多得多 than to alcoholic poor people.
所以 要卖就卖好东西 So, sell the good stuff.
这个地方不准有任何空瓶子 There shouldn't be any empty bottles in this area.
只要有空瓶子进来 马上给我拉到后面去 As soon as they come in, they go in the back.
查尔斯 我们这周酒水卖得如何 How are we doing this week, Charlie?
布鲁克林那边进了很多货 Brooklyn was very thirsty this week.
噢 是吗 Oh, yeah?
-这里是什么情况 -噢 看 - What's going on over here? - All right, listen.
这些新东西全都是产自 呃 泽西 This is all the new stuff from, uh, Jersey.
这些全是威士忌 好吗 There's all the scotch, okay?
但是 虽然他们赚了不少钱 But, despite their success,
但是他们还是不得不把赚到的钱 they're still forced to give Joe Masseria
分一大部分给乔·马塞里亚 a large cut of everything they make.
班尼 把这个拿给马塞里亚 Benny... Take that to Masseria.
乔 这是布鲁克林的1万 Ten thousand from Brooklyn, Joe.
马塞里亚想从他们那里拿更多的回扣 Masseria wanted kickbacks from them.
他希望为其他帮派工作的 He wanted as much as $10,000 from each person
每个人都能给他1万 who worked for another gang.
他这么觉得 是因为他觉得自己值得拿那么多钱 And he saw this... That he deserved it
他觉得自己对在纽约的意大利黑帮 because he was so important and so vital
来说至关重要 没他不行 to Italian gangsters in New York City.
马塞里亚很马虎 又很鲁莽 Masseria, he's sloppy. He's hotheaded.
也不够细心 He's not careful.
卢西亚诺和兰斯基知道为马塞里亚工作 Luciano and Lansky know that working for Masseria
是没有出头日的 is a dead-end.
我们必须得采取行动 We're gonna have to do somethin'.
他们就这样看着我们不停地经营 发展 壮大 对吧 They're watchin' us build, and build, and build, right?
然后他们以为 And then, they think they're
可以坐着伸手要什么有什么 对吧 gonna just scoop up and take everything, right?
没错 确实如此 Yeah, exactly.
我们是时候反击了 And that's when we strike.
多年来 迈耶·兰斯基和查尔斯·卢西亚诺 For years, Meyer Lansky and Charles Luciano
都在马塞里亚的掌控下为他卖命 have operated under Masseria's control.
现在 他们受够了 And now, they've had enough.
他们知道唯一的办法就是杀了大老板乔 They know the only way out is to kill Joe the boss,
这个想法十分危险 an idea so dangerous,
他们只有一个人可以相信 they can confide it to only one man.
所以你是说 你就像个兵 Right now, you're just a soldier.
一直拿着枪为别人卖命 但你已经厌倦了 Another tapista with a gun, and you're tired of it.
没错 Yeah.
是的 Yeah.
没人知道你是谁才是最安全的 There's safety in no one knowing who you are.
没有人会想要取无名小卒的姓命 Nobody targets a nobody.
你之前一直过着冒险生活 You took risks.
我是说 你现在做的是哪件不是冒着风险的 I mean, you still take risks.
但这是深思熟虑之后的风险 理智分析之后的风险 Calculated risks. Smart ones.
而且我的运气很好 One where the odds work in my favor.
好吧 Yeah.
你确实很有胆量 我欣赏这点 You got balls. I'll give you that.
你要知道一旦出手 就再也不能回头了 You do this, there's no goin' back.
我知道 I know.
看来你已经下定决心了 You already made up your mind.
为什么还要来问我 Why ask me?
因为我信任你 Because I trust you.
你得相信你自己 Trust yourself...
因为这事之后 你就只能靠自己了 Because if you do this, you're on your own.
要想在黑帮中混得好 得有两个 The qualities that make someone rise in the Mafia
基本品质 is two things...
才智和胆量 Intelligence and big balls.
有时 有些人是真的很聪明 Sometimes, you get someone who's really intelligent,
只可惜不是硬汉 but they're not tough guys.
但又有些人 And then, you get someone who's really,
身手很好 意志坚强 really a tough guy,
但是 可惜没什么脑子 but h-he's just not intelligent.
但是当你又有才智又有胆量时 But, when you get that combination of intelligence
你就能成功了 and big balls, you rise.
卢西亚诺和兰斯基决定 Luciano and Lansky decide
他们要利用自己的团伙 that they're going to use their gang
干掉乔·马塞里亚这个老大 to take out Joe "The boss" Masseria.
这个决定会引发全面战争 A move that will lead to an all-out war,
这将是纽约前所未有的大战争 unlike anything New York has ever seen.
