The Untouchables: 4x5

The Pea

Chicago, December 18, 1930. On the southside of town, Herbie Catcher is playing 8-ball for 50 cents a game, in a dilapidated pool joint. Herbie, not being much of a pool player, gets cleaned out by Cooker. Herbie’s best friend is Josh, a nice black man who happens to be blind, who is the employee working in the pool hall. Josh tells him, “”You’d be surprised at the things I can see, I’m an owl in the dark.”” (“”Owl”” is his nickname.) Since Herbie can’t make money shooting pool, and only has a job working as a busboy, he is in the habit of getting a few bucks by giving Eliot Ness tips.
