  • Subtitles section
  • I'm heading back to the 1930s, where the outlaws rule, and the public enjoys reading about their exploits.
  • One man, however, is determined to bring the outlaws down.
  • J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Bureau of Investigation.
  • To succeed, he has to overcome Babyface Nelson, a man so dangerous that other gangsters refuse to work with him.
  • And action.
  • Our graphics wizards are recreating the moment that Hoover's agents clashed with Babyface in a car chase and a shootout worthy of Hollywood.
  • In the early 30s, Hoover was in the process of changing the poorly regarded Bureau of Investigation into the modern FBI.
  • He believed that catching the outlaws would help him do that.
  • Fence flaring.
  • To find out why, I'm going back to Jeff Gwynn.
  • How did Hoover use the outlaw phenomenon?
  • It gave him a way to identify a new enemy to the American people.
  • If J. Edgar Hoover can be the driving force in eliminating this certain high rank criminal or criminals, that allows him in Washington to have built a wider and wider power base and to be able to make the case,
  • If you will give me a full fledged department that I can run, we will bring law and order to this country.
  • To help get the public on side, Hoover develops a list of his most wanted criminal targets.
  • On that list is Lester Gillis, also known as Babyface Nelson.
  • Babyface came from Chicago.
  • To find out about him, I'm heading back there to meet Tony Stewart, who has done in-depth research on the outlaw.
  • Babyface Nelson resented all cops.
  • I mean, if you wore a badge, you were the enemy.
  • He holds a record for killing three FBI agents, and that's the most ever in history.
  • Babyface was an effective criminal and an excellent driver.
  • For the boys, his final car chase is a complex, fast-paced graphic.
  • They need to put four cops, three cars, and two gangsters on the road.
  • But they have to film the car interior shots while the cars are static, so they can drop detailed views of the chase into the windows.
  • So Colin has been figuring out how to create a sense of movement.
  • I'm simulating the passing of trees and fences with these high-profile film production sticks.
  • While the boys create the graphic, I need to find out more about what made an outlaw like Babyface so hard to bring to justice.
