Episode Notes
 
This episode marks the final appearance of Nehemiah Persoff as Jake Guzik. The character acts a little differently than in previous appearances because this was apparently a Nitti script from Season Three that got shelved and wasn't filmed until the following season. They just changed the name of the character as well as a few locations in the script. The Guzik of this episode holds Nitti's position in the mob hierarchy and also spouts several Nittiesque one-liners.
 
Harry Morgan becomes the third and final actor to play North Side crime boss George "Bugs" Moran on the series.
 
Locations: Chicago, Track City MI
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Guzik: I own Chicago. I decide who plays here.
 
Guzik: (to Ness) Well, if it isn't Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
 
Guzik: (about Moran) He'd work for Jack the Ripper if the price was right.
 
Moran: (to Guzik) Whistle for it, fat boy.
 
Peterson: It ain't against the law to steal from crooks, is it?
 
Guzik: (about the speakeasy owners) If they don't show, the next time they hold a meeting they'll have to use shovels to find a quorum.
 
Louie: Friendly! You mean like last night?
Guzik: Look on the good side. You're still alive.
 
Guzik: It's nice you could come, Bugs.
Moran: After all we've been to each other.
 
 
Analysis
 
Probably a Season Three Nitti script which got shelved and was then tweaked a bit with the Nitti character then becoming Jake Guzik. Though this is the character's third appearance on the show, Guzik acts more like Nitti here right down to a few Nittiesque one-liners.
