It doubles as a heartwarming moment, but when Moose desperately asks Capone for help in getting his autistic sister adequate schooling, within just a couple of days it has happened, and Moose gets a note that simply says "Done."
Al Capone Shines My Shoes:
When J. Edgar Hoover is inspecting the prison and complaining about how much money gets spent on security, Warden Williams has imprisoned thief Willy One-Arm pick Hoover's pocket to show him just why he doesn't want to cut back the guard force for the men guarding people like that. The moment becomes even more awesome with the reveal that Willy is plotting to escape, meaning that his going along with the plan to show Hoover the need for high security for the general inmate population was all part of a bluff to make the security and suspicion on him laxer for his escape.
Both the escape plan (which involves smuggling important items into a variety of locations and then trying to get past the guards with a bluff), and the way that seven kids foil it in ways like Annie throwing stones at the escaping prisoners are quite impressive.
Al Capone Does My Homework
An imprisoned counterfeiter manages to con the Warden's daughter into trading good money for some fakes he got past security.
Moose is practicing pitching when he sees a con about to shiv his father (something Capone tried to covertly warn him about earlier but initially failed) and hurls his ball at the assailant, foiling the murder attempt.
The autistic Natalie makes a childlike but surprisingly firm and powerful Shut Up, Hannibal! moment to a villain who makes an implicit alliance offer to her.
Al Capone Throws Me a Curve
After Natalie ends up being smuggled inside the inmate wing (almost certainly as a deliberate attempt to discredit her father, who may be the next warden), the thirteen-year-old Moose briefly fights with an inmate who is harassing her, then (with some help from Annie's guard father and an inmate who he is friendly with) smuggles her back out past both the inmates and any staff members who might report what happened and blame Natalie.
