- Barney Ruditsky: They left their prints on the guns, the victims, and the times. The prints of the men who terrorized New York in the Twenties, that strange and nightmarish time when a gangster sat in judgment and passed sentence on a public prosecutor. Yes, they left their prints on the guns, the victims, the times - and finally each other.
- Barney Ruditsky: Dutch Schultz, born Arthur Flegenheimer, from a hole-in-the-wall speakeasy in the Bronx to one of the most feared gang lords in the City of New York. Ruthless, wild, unpredictable. A troop of a hundred triggers on his payroll. The Dutchman was considered an outlaw even in his own outlaw world.
- Barney Ruditsky: Nobody in the mobs would stand up to the Dutchman. But a young, soft-spoken district attorney came along who said, "This evil force has to be destroyed." And Tom Dewey became the obsession - the black beast - in the waking and sleeping hours of Dutch Schultz. The Dutchman decided Dewey had to be hit.

- Barney Ruditsky: [Voiceover narration] The Dutchman's obsession - that Dewey would get him - was right. Tom Dewey finally put an end to his murderous career, but not the way in which Dewey had planned it. Dutch Schultz, born Arthur Flegenheimer, from a hole-in-the-wall speakeasy to the most feared gang lord in New York, ruthless, wild, unpredictable, died: age 34. His last words: "I want to pay." He did.
