The Untouchables Season 3 Episode 2

By the Summer of 1933, a new wave of crime has engulfed Chicago.  Due to a public outcry for action, Willard Thornton is appointed as a new commissioner to clean up the town.  At a press conference, Thornton arrogantly says his office does not publicly constitute criticism of any law enforcement agency– while his tone of voice implies he privately does criticize them.  Eliot Ness is standing right next to him, looking more dour than usual.

Ness and his men go on a raid, they find a shipment of heroin in a hideout.
