About this episode

In the 1930s and 40s, an unassuming candy shop in Brownsville, Brooklyn, doubled as the headquarters for Murder Inc., the Mafia's secretive enforcement arm. Led by ruthless figures like Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and Albert “Mad Hatter” Anastasia, this group of killers carried out hundreds of hits with chilling efficiency, shaping the underworld of organized crime. Discover how the mob’s "middlemen for murder" rose to power, upheld their deadly code, and eventually met their own violent demise.
