Our Godfather (2019)

1
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,800
[narrator in Italian] I was just
a boy when I was sworn into the Mafia.

2
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
They pricked my finger with a needle

3
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,360
and told me to wipe the blood
on an image of a saint.

4
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,920
Then the image was burnt
while I recited the ritual oath.

5
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,080
If I betray Cosa Nostra, let my flesh burn
like this sacred image.

6
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,520
When you are initiated it is forever.

7
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Cosa Nostra comes before family,
friends, and country.

8
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Once a Mafioso always a Mafioso.

9
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,240
[indistinct whispering]

10
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,880
[male reporter 1]
What makes this Mafia trial different

11
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320
from any other is the cracking
of the Mafia code of silence.

12
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,320
[male reporter 2]
...the largest anti-Mafia operation

13
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,280
since World War II.

14
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,840
[male reporter 3 in Italian]

15
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,800
[male reporter 4] One man's testimony
is set to convict

16
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,120
over 400 members of the Mafia.

17
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,320
His betrayal makes him
the Mafia's most wanted man.

18
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,120
[male reporter 5] He is the most
significant Mafia turncoat

19
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,200
in criminal history.

20
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,957
[female reporter]
Federal investigators have landed

21
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:15,280
one of the biggest Mafia canaries
of all times.

22
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880
[in Italian] Buscetta is a liar!

23
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,360
[in Italian] Buscetta is...

24
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,880
a worm.

25
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,480
[male reporter 6] He gave Italian
officials a 3,000-page confession

26
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,360
that links Mafia groups in Italy
with those in the United States.

27
00:02:27,872 --> 00:02:29,440
[male reporter 7] As a result of
his testimony

28
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,640
it's expected
there will be many arrests there.

29
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560
[indistinct chatter]

30
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,640
[chairman] Our next witness
will be Mr. Tommaso Buscetta.

31
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Mr. Buscetta, for reasons
of personal safety,

32
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,720
has been relocated
and is now living under an assumed name

33
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,360
in an undisclosed location
in order to protect his identity.

34
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520
He will therefore be testifying
behind a screen.

35
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,680
[Rudy] This man is testifying

36
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,720
against some of the most dangerous people
in the world.

37
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,040
And it is incumbent upon
the United States government

38
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,520
to take extraordinary security precautions
with him.

39
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,200
The witness can be brought in.

40
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,120
[woman speaking Italian]

41
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,880
[boy] My dad, looking at me weird.

42
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Let's zoom into him. My dad.

43
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Stop filming like that.

44
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,760
[boy speaking Italian]

45
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,280
You're spraying it around
like a machine gun!

46
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,840
-[woman speaking Italian]
-[boy] Okay, uh...

47
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,840
[Tommaso in Italian]
Good morning, Mr. Chairman,

48
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:24,040
and members of the subcommittee.

49
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,720
My name is Tommaso Buscetta.

50
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760
I've spent most of my life
as a member of Sicilian Mafia.

51
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
I've seen so many changes
in the organization

52
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,520
that I no longer feel bound
by their code of silence or "Omerta."

53
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,680
They have no trials.
They have no jails.

54
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,640
Their only power is terror.

55
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,720
[siren blaring]

56
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,160
[Cristina] You cannot imagine,
one decision in your life

57
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,840
what's gonna make to you.

58
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Once it's made, that's your destiny,
that's the life you have.

59
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,360
Tommaso had eight children
from three women.

60
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,040
I was the third woman and had two boys.

61
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,520
It's the first time
that I expose our life to anybody.

62
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,240
It-- It's now or never.

63
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Uh... Nothing scares me, really,
but, uh, you know, there's a risk.

64
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,600
There's a risk.

65
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Just a call would kill us all.

66
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,240
-[old man speaking Italian]
-[woman exclaims]

67
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,920
-[chuckles]
-[all speaking Italian]

68
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,480
-[Tommaso speaking Italian]
-[speaks Italian]

69
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,720
-[gunshot]
-[Roberto] They are there,

70
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,480
and killing Tommaso Buscetta's son
would be a perfect trophy.

71
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
So, if I give them the opportunity
to come and find me,

72
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,360
they will definitely take the shot.

73
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,840
-I lost two brothers.
-[shell casing clinking]

74
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,040
I lost uncles.
I lost a lot of family members.

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,920
And I don't want to show
my face not for fear,

76
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440
but I have something to lose.
I have my children and my wife.

77
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,600
The danger will always be there.

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,080
The Mafia never forgets.

79
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,560
[Cristina] There is one thing.

80
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,280
One thing that I-- [stutters]

81
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,160
-I know-- I know. I know I'm lost.
-[Roberto chuckles] Here it comes.

82
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
-I know-- I know that there is no way out.
-[Roberto chuckles]

83
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,680
I don't like you and a gun together.

84
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,640
That's-- [stutters]
That's a bad combination, Son.

85
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,120
[Roberto] Look, Mom,
I earned my right to carry it,

86
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,000
-I fought for the right to carry it...
-Mm.

87
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,920
...and you know what's most beautiful
about all this? Is that I can carry it.

88
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,360
God bless America.

89
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,320
-That's right.
-Yeah, but it's dangerous.

90
00:06:13,477 --> 00:06:15,400
-One day someone will push...
-Yeah, it's dangerous to--

91
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,360
-...your buttons.
-It's dangerous for anyone...

92
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,600
-Mm.
-...that would threaten you,

93
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,080
my children...

94
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,480
-Mm.
-...my wife or myself.

95
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,840
[Cristina] I would--
I don't know. I-- I hate guns.

96
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
[Roberto] You lost that one
before you even started.

97
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,360
I carry a gun at all times
because my father shook up an organization

98
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,880
that stood for a long time.

99
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,000
And there's always a safety concern,

100
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,840
because some of these people
are still alive

101
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,480
and they're still looking
for a piece of retribution.

102
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,960
[Tommaso] Mafioso are the romantic figures
they see in the movies.

103
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,400
They are men of violence.

104
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Until the public understands
the true nature of Cosa Nostra

105
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,200
its power and violence will continue.

106
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,680
In the early 1960s, eight police officers
were killed in a car bombing.

107
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,920
As a result, there was a public outcry
against the Mafia.

108
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Several arrest warrants were issued
including my own.

109
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,400
I left Sicily and went to Mexico
from there to Canada and to New York.

110
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
But I had to flee the US in 1971.

111
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,080
I was caught with a false passport.

112
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,600
I went to Brazil.

113
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,840
[Cristina] I was living in Rio
and I decided to go to the beach.

114
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Then comes this guy...
sit very close to us

115
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,040
and we spoke to each other for four hours.

116
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,440
He said that he was in Brazil

117
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
looking for work with,
uh, planting tomatoes

118
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,240
that the Brazilians didn't have
at that time.

119
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
But I was totally taken by him, period.

120
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,320
If he said he was Jesus Christ,
maybe I would believe.

121
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,400
I was 20 years old and, uh, he was 42.

122
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,960
[bossa nova music playing]

123
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,720
[crowd cheering]

124
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,200
[Cristina] It was carnival.

125
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,560
We were at the beginning
of our relationship.

126
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,000
And there was a lady there,
she was flirting with him

127
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,160
and he loved the attention obviously.

128
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240
But then it got on my nerves,
really got on my nerves,

129
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,360
because he'd stand up,
take our champagne...

130
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,800
and put it on the other table.

131
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,040
I said, now he's gonna know
the other side of me.

132
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480
I stood up,
took the bottle of champagne and...

133
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,360
-[imitates glass shattering]
-[glass shattering]

134
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Glass is everywhere.

135
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,480
I say, "Who do you think you are?

136
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,600
You know, I'm younger than you,
much younger than you.

137
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,120
What you can do,
I can do three times more."

138
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,040
When we got into the house,
closed the door,

139
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,080
he said, now you're gonna get it.
And I got it.

140
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,080
He grabbed me,
"Never do that again to me.

141
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Never embarrass me in public."

142
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,240
When violent, he was to the extreme.
He would go berserk.

143
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,200
I never asked Tommaso if he was a Mafioso

144
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,760
or had any connections with the Mafia,
because I didn't want him to lie to me.

145
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,880
[Tommaso] I was one of those
who persuaded the Sicilian family bosses

146
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,440
to create a Mafia Commission in Palermo.

147
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,440
The Commission was responsible

148
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,560
for setting disputes between families.

149
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,440
The Commission would decide
if a man of honor was to be executed.

150
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Every "man of honor"

151
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,280
must have killed
at least once for Cosa Nostra.

152
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Since you joined the Mafia in 1948...

153
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,560
how many people have you killed?

154
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,360
[Tommaso speaks Italian]
Senator, I cannot answer your question.

155
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,040
I don't want to be disrespectful,

156
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,400
but Italian law forbids me
from responding to this kind of question.

157
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,200
[Cristina] In Mafia, he had to prove
he was a man and he did.

158
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,800
He said,
"Cris, I have to be sincere to you.

159
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040
It was years ago, but I killed somebody."

160
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,840
I became very sad.

161
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,400
I decided that with love and care
I would change him.

162
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,480
But six months after Tommaso and I met...
he was arrested.

163
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,680
[crowd clamoring]

164
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,280
[in Portuguese] By chance,
I was on duty when he was arrested.

165
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,240
Here, he may not have committed
a serious crime,

166
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,760
but in Italy he had.

167
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,560
[Cristina] They thought they had arrested
a big Mafia boss

168
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,200
that obviously was there to do drugs.

169
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Which is something my husband hated.

170
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,800
THE DRUGS MAFIA LINE-UP

171
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,240
[male reporter] Brazilian police confirm
the notorious gangster Tommaso Buscetta

172
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,800
has been extradited to Italy
where he faces drug trafficking charges.

173
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,840
[Tommaso in Italian] I was convicted
and sentenced to eight years.

174
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Yet, I was never caught
with a single gram of drugs.

175
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,160
Not a gram nor 100 kilos!

176
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800
[Cristina] I don't know,
I think people will judge me,

177
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
because what I was doing
with the boss of the Mafia?

178
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,640
But that's not the way
I saw our relationship.

179
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,840
When I went to the hospital
to have Roberto, Tommaso was in jail.

180
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,280
My idea was to let my husband
see the baby.

181
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,240
That's why I took pictures
and video and sent to him.

182

183
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,280
[baby crying]

184
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480
[Roberto]
My father had two distinct families,

185
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,640
the one that he had raised in Sicily
from his first marriage...

186
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,960
and then the one that he created later
with Cristina in Brazil.

187
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,680
My mother adopted two of those children

188
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,800
because they were so young
and they were on my father's heels.

189
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
There was me and Alessandra
and she could have just said,

190
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,320
"Well, I don't want these girls, you know.

191
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,960
I was going to be a stepmom, but, hey,
now he's gone, God knows for how long."

192
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,360
But that woman moved mountains and earth.

193
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,960
And she made sure she kept us,
and she flew us all to move to Italy.

194
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800
You know, she says,
"I'm going to be with him."

195
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:26,160
[Cristina] It's a matter of loyalty,
you love someone...

196
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,120
you take this someone
the way he or she is.

197
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,880
[Roberto] Going to visit him in prison
was difficult, because strip search

198
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,400
and seeing my mom being handled around.

199
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,720
It just wasn't pleasant.
And every time we left, I remember

200
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,960
that I would hold back on my mother
and tell her, "Just wait."

201
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,360
And I would see this slither of an arm
stick out of a jail cell

202
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,560
and try to wave goodbye.

203
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,537
[Lisa] I don't know what he did.

204
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,600
I mean, I know he was a don,
which means a boss, Don Masino.

205
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,600
That was what he was, Don Masino this,
Don Masino that.

206
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,440
To me he was Papa.

207
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,080
You know,
I-- I don't care what anybody said,

208
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,400
he was my dad.

209
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,240
[Tommaso in Italian] Your Honor,
I spent eight years in that prison.

210
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,640
And I was the undisputed boss inside.

211
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,080
I acted as I pleased. I was in charge.

212
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,600
[Cristina] We married in jail.

213
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,280
And our witness was a gangster
100 percent.

214
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,320
And he was feeling secure
because with Tommaso

215
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,280
Mafia would not kill him.

216
00:14:54,080 --> 00:15:00,080
But as soon as they changed him
to another jail, he was killed.

217
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
There were 100 stabbings.

218
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,800
[Tommaso in Italian]
Upon my release from prison

219
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,640
I began to realize
that drugs changed everything.

220
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,600
The family loyalties and codes of respect
that I knew as a Mafioso

221
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920
were quickly becoming things of the past.

222
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
[male reporter] Mafia wars
in the streets of Palermo.

223
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,600
The latest infighting
has claimed hundreds of lives

224
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,320
as one of the Mafia's most powerful bosses
Salvatore Riina,

225
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,160
dubbed the Beast,
has seized on the US drugs trade

226
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,480
to fuel a ruthless campaign
for absolute control.

227
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,280
[male reporter speaking Italian]

228
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,760
[male reporter 2] The latest bodies
are two Mafia bosses

229
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,160
believed to be victims
of Toto Riina's bid for control.

230
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,120
They are associates
of the jailed Tommaso Buscetta

231
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,920
and represent part of the old guard
of the Mafia leadership.

232
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,000
[Cristina] Riina was a psychopath.

233
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,640
And this psychopath
was the man with the power.

234
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,760
Who has the money, commands.

235
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,280
[indistinct chatter]

236
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
[narrator in Italian]
Now money was all that mattered.

237
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Now it was a question
of having a seaside villa

238
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,560
or a place in the mountains.

239
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,360
All that counted now was
who could shoot the most.

240
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,680
Between 1981 and 1983...

241
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,080
there were over 400 Mafia killings
in Palermo.

242
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Before the Mafia had nothing to do
with drugs.

243
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Drugs brought too much attention
from authorities, too much heat.

244
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Now drugs were the main part
of the Mafia's business.

245
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,160
And everyone was getting rich
because of them.

246
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Along with drugs came more money

247
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760
more greed, more violence, less honor.

248
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320
[Lisa] One time, me and my brother
walking back from school

249
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,280
and I'm thinking I'm going, you know,
to take shower,

250
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Mom will have dinner, you know,
we'll do homework.

251
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Hell no! All of the sudden
in the middle of the night

252
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,040
we're-- we're moving.

253
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Oh, okay, where are we moving to?

254
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,320
Across the ocean,
we're going back to Brazil.

255
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,960
[indistinct radio chatter]

256
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,720
[Cristina] I thought we would be safe
in Brazil.

257
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Big mistake.

258
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,320
[Roberto] And I was ten,
I knew nothing of Mafia.

259
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,600
I knew nothing of organized crime
or-- or anything of the sort,

260
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,640
but... my father says, "Come with me,
we're gonna go pick up somebody."

261
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,200
So, we're driving around for an hour
and my father can't spot these guys.

262
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,760
And I turn around and go,
"There they are, right there."

263
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,480
If there was ever a big Mafia boss,
that was one.

264
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,520
And the head of the Mafia Commission
in Palermo gave me my first five dollars

265
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,800
for actually having picked him out
in the middle of a crowd in Copacabana

266
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,040
in the middle of summer.

267
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,800
And, uh, I had them for years,
until I realized who gave them to me.

268
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,160
[Tommaso in Italian]
He told me it was time to return.

269
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,320
I should help Cosa Nostra
get rid of Riina.

270
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,320
I replied, I didn't want to get involved
in a war that didn't concern me.

271
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,960
It wasn't my problem.

272
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,400
-[objects clatter]
-[Cristina sniffles]

273
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,560
[Cristina] That Mafia boss
was trying to convince him

274
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,000
to do war to the Mafia in Sicily.

275
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040
My husband's saying,
"I've just had a baby.

276
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,240
Let me raise my child here."

277
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,400
[Tommaso in Italian] I told him
that I'm not interested in the Mafia war.

278
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,800
Since I had served so many years in jail,
I wanted to enjoy my freedom.

279
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,760
[Cristina] Stefano was a new beginning.

280
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,440
And Tommaso looked at him with such love.

281
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,200
From that day on Stefano was his baby.

282
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,360
[Tommaso in Italian]
Although I refused,

283
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,640
when the Mafioso returned to Sicily,

284
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,200
he spread the lie that I was coming back
to rise against Riina's people.

285
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,400
As a result, while I was in Brazil

286
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Riina's men
began the systematic destruction

287
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,000
of the family I'd left behind in Sicily.

288
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,760
[phone ringing]

289
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,000
[Cristina] He implored his sons
not to get close to the Mafia.

290
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,720
-[ringing continues]
-"What are you doing in Palermo?

291
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Come to Brazil."

292
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,720
[ringing continues]

293
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,440
When I came in, there was a woman
screaming on the phone.

294
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,960
It was his daughter-in-law.

295
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,000
And then she said
the day before his sons had disappeared.

296
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,040
And then I saw him become...
totally white.

297
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Not a word. But he knew
he wouldn't see his children anymore.

298
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,560
They were already dead.

299
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,240
They could never tell
where their father was,

300
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,440
they had no idea.

301
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,080
They were tortured badly
to the point of no return.

302
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,240
Then they...

303
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,720
[stutters] they...

304
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,480
dismantled the guys in acid.

305
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,440
They were dissolved in acid.

306
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,800
[Lisa] We knew something really bad
had happened to my two brothers.

307
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,600
And a piece of my father
had died with that.

308
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,200
He blamed himself for everything.

309
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,160
He always tried
to keep all of us out of it.

310
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,920
But when he lost his two sons.

311
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Wow. [sniffles]

312
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:36,920
You could tell.

313
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,640
A part of my father was gone.

314
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:42,080
And never recovered. [sniffles]

315
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,320
[Cristina] He internalized totally,
this loss that was tremendous.

316
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,400
Never made a comment, nothing.

317
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,080
[Lisa] We did not discuss...
nothing... ever

318
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,520
about the death of my brothers.

319
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,000
But... it totally destroyed my father.

320
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,720
WOE TO THE LOSERS

321
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,360
[sniffles]

322
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,360
[narrator] Yes, there was a Mafia war.

323
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,000
But I never imagined
that it would go so far.

324
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,280
And that was only the beginning
of the slaughter.

325
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,920
Two months later they struck again.

326
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,440
[male reporter in Italian]
Last night there was a massacre

327
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,040
at the New York Place.

328
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Two killers ordered pizza.

329
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,400
They asked to see the owner
and two chefs.

330
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,960
Then opened fire killing all three.

331
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,440
[indistinct chatter]

332
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960
The killers spared the woman
sitting at the till.

333
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Felicia Buscetta is the owner's wife

334
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,000
but also, the daughter of Don Masino.

335
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Buscetta is linked to clans
losing the current Mafia war.

336
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,800
He may have returned to Palermo
to avenge his two sons.

337
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,432
They have mysteriously disappeared.

338
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,240
[Roberto] My sister lost her husband.
He was brutally murdered in front of her.

339
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,880
And, uh, Toto Riina's campaign
of death and destruction went on.

340
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600
[narrator] Two days later they came again.

341
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240
My closest brother was Vincenzo.

342
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,520
He ran the family glass business.

343
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,640
[male reporter in Italian]
We have just received the footage

344
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,360
from the crime scene.

345
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,520
Palermo seems to have
become a slaughterhouse.

346
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,160
[Roberto] I played in that office
a million times.

347
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,200
I've broken glass
and Uncle Vincenzo told me,

348
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,560
"Don't worry about it,
we have a lot of glass here."

349
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Uh... The office
where both of them were killed, uh...

350
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,240
that was a hangout for me.

351
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,920
[narrator] The hitmen caused a bloodbath.

352
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,520
They shot my brother in the face
as he was sitting at his desk.

353
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720
My nephew ran to help his father
although he wasn't armed.

354
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,720
They killed him too.

355
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,840
[Roberto] The first time I was aware
of what was really was going on

356
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,280
was at the second arrest in 1983.

357
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,400
My father's driving me in the morning
to go to school.

358
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,880
-My mother's with us.
-[sirens blaring]

359
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,640
[man in Italian] It's nice here,
but there are lots of police around.

360
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280
-[Roberto] We, uh, stop for breakfast.
-[sirens continue blaring]

361
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,440
The instant he stepped out of the car...

362
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,600
the police came from every direction.

363
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,680
I was whisked away with them.
And I-- I'll never forget it.

364
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:23,840
[Lisa] And I had Stefano as a baby,
my little brother in a crib

365
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,200
and my sister Alessandra
was also with me.

366
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,200
And, uh, of course,
we had to be inside the cars,

367
00:24:29,282 --> 00:24:31,432
'cause all the cameras
were like all around down there

368
00:24:31,527 --> 00:24:33,525
trying to get a picture.
We couldn't even go on the balcony,

369
00:24:33,607 --> 00:24:35,320
there were so many paparazzi's out there,
you know.

370
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,360
[crowd clamoring]

371
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,120
I heard them talk among themselves about,
"Oh, we caught the big fish."

372
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,320
They're like,
"Well, I hope it's not my father."

373
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,320
-[crowd clamoring]
-[cameras clicking]

374
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,400
[in Portuguese] I had to draw up
an arrest warrant...

375
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,640
for conspiracy to traffic drugs

376
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,440
so we could be sure
of holding the whole gang.

377
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,000
What happened next
was a big deal in the media.

378
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,280
[male reporter] At last the world can
glimpse the godfather of two worlds.

379
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,720
These are the only public pictures
of Tommaso Buscetta,

380
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,160
arrested today in Sao Paulo.

381
00:25:10,057 --> 00:25:11,920
[male reporter in Portuguese]
Today Buscetta seemed surprised

382
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,200
to face the press.

383
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,800
He smiled and looked ironically
at the cameras

384
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,480
without saying a word.

385
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,160
[male reporter 2 in Portuguese]
Speak! Speak!

386
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,320
[indistinct chatter]

387
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,760
[Precioso in Portuguese]
In my opinion Buscetta

388
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,520
wasn't involved with
narcotics here in Brazil.

389
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,320
But the people he was mixed up with...

390
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,560
they were definitely a Mafia group.

391
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
[indistinct chatter]

392
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,640
[Precioso in Portuguese]
He was one of the most famous wanted men.

393
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,400
We even received congratulations
from American police.

394
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,840
[indistinct chatter]

395
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,160
When Buscetta was discovered in Brazil...

396
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,640
um, I caught the case, went down to Brazil

397
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,000
to ask for his extradition back to the US.

398
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,600
Buscetta was a fugitive.

399
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,800
The reason the Americans
were looking for him

400
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,480
was charges of drug trafficking
in the United States.

401
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,800
We wanted to make sure
that the Brazilians knew

402
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,280
that the Americans wanted him.

403
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,160
We got there about the same time
as an Italian delegation

404
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,680
who was, uh, also interested
for their own reasons in Buscetta.

405
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040
And I could see
when the Italian prosecutors

406
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:28,480
that-- that saw him, Judge Falcone.

407
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000
It's just their body language
and the way they observed one another

408
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,160
and treated one another,

409
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,080
they were deferring to each other,
no question about it.

410
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,560
[narrator in Italian]
I was especially interested in this man...

411
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,480
because of his intelligence and manner.

412
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,600
He knew exactly what I meant.

413
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Even when I spoke in the metaphors
of the language of Palermo and Sicily.

414
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,880
It is very hard to understand for someone
who is not born in my land.

415
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,280
[Giuseppe in Italian] Falcone was
undoubtedly the greatest magistrate

416
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,360
in the fight against Mafia.

417
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,520
Buscetta wouldn't talk with anyone else.

418
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Only Giovanni Falcone.

419
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,800
On his return from Brazil,
Falcone tells me a strange thing happened.

420
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,200
During interrogation he'd asked as usual
to talk about the Mafia.

421
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,720
Do you know what Buscetta answered? No.

422
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,040
He said, Mr. Falcone, a whole night
wouldn't be enough for my answer.

423
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,440
I'm sorry, but now I'm very tired.

424
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Falcone said, I think it's a sign
he wants to cooperate.

425
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,400
I replied,
Falcone, this is the result of jet lag.

426
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Go and rest.

427
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:07,520
Tomorrow you'll be more clear-headed.

428
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,880
The conspiracy of silence was a wall.

429
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,840
On one side, society and the government.

430
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:16,120
On the other side, Cosa Nostra.

431
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,880
It was almost unthinkable

432
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,160
that someone from behind the wall
would knock it down

433
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:25,560
and start talking to us.

434
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,640
That was Omerta. The word says it all.

435
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,640
[Cristina]
Tommaso had left a letter in his things.

436
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,240
[in Italian]
"My love, once again I cause you pain,

437
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,960
but now I really hope
it will be the last time."

438
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,360
[narrator] "You never ceased loving me
as your price charming.

439
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,960
But your prince charming
is only your tormentor.

440
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,720
What a paradoxical fate!
I leave you because I love you.

441
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,760
[door closes]

442
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Now I'm in this windowless cell.

443
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,840
I feel alone, terribly alone.

444
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,160
They told me I'm being sent back to Italy.

445
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,600
I've decided. No! I will end it here."

446
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,920
[male reporter in Portuguese]
Tommaso Buscetta has been admitted

447
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,240
to hospital in Brazilia

448
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,800
after taking deadly strychnine poison.

449
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,880
The Mafia gangster was due to be sent
to Italy tomorrow

450
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,840
where he faces smuggling
and narcotic charges.

451
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,200
Buscetta's wife Cristina arrived
at the hospital, extremely anxious.

452
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,360
She had no idea
why her husband would attempt suicide.

453
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Cristina denied police accusations
of supplying strychnine to her husband.

454
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,360
[in Portuguese] It's easier for them
to throw their responsibilities on me.

455
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,400
They should be safeguarding him.

456
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,760
I'd never be the vehicle of death
for my husband.

457
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,960
I have four of his children.

458
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,800
I saw him really down

459
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,440
and, uh, when he saw Stefano...
he really cried.

460
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,120
I never saw my husband crying that way.

461
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,240
It was really bad.

462
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,800
"I failed again," he said.

463
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,560
Because he told me,
"I am a problem for you."

464
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,480
I said, "But I chose the problem."

465
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,640
We cannot undo what we did.

466
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,160
We got together, we liked each other,
we cannot undo that.

467
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,440
I love you. I'm okay.

468
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:34,120
[narrator] I've lost sons,
brothers in law, brothers, nephews.

469
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
None of them were "men of honor."

470
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,080
That's what tormented me most.

471
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,560
I'd never complain if they came after me
that would be fair game.

472
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720
But not my sons.
They had nothing to do with it.

473
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,400
That is one of the main reasons

474
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,800
that prompted me to collaborate

475
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,000
with the state.

476
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,640
[in Italian over radio]

477
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,880
[in Italian] Wearing sunglasses
and handcuffs and covered with a blanket.

478
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,080
That's how Mafia boss Tommaso Buscetta
arrived in Rome.

479
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,480
Before leaving,
the Mafioso tried to commit suicide.

480
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,400
A moment of weakness?

481
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,680
Or recognition that this time
he's unlikely ever to walk free again?

482
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,400
[indistinct chatter]

483
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,880
[Roberto] I saw the footage
with the blanket over the arms

484
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,040
and, uh, I remember clearly seeing
he didn't look right.

485
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,440
It was very different from that masculine,
muscular man

486
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,320
that just a couple of weeks earlier
was in front of me.

487
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,400
That definitely was a shock
to see him that way.

488
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,680
[indistinct chatter over radio]

489
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,320
[Giuseppe in Italian]
Buscetta's collaboration can be described

490
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000
as truly having historic importance.

491
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,640
From then on,
nothing in the fight against the Mafia

492
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,280
would be as before.

493
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,920
[Cristina] What I told him
is that no matter what you do,

494
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,080
I trust you. I am with you.

495
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,120
If you decide to open your heart,
I am with you.

496
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,640
Buscetta would never have cooperated
with the authorities.

497
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
But when you kill his children
and so on what do you expect?

498
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,760
For Buscetta the Mafioso
it was Riina who was the traitor.

499
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,320
A heretic
as far as the Mafia code was concerned.

500
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,960
Buscetta realized there was
only one path open for him.

501
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,200
To take revenge by talking to us.

502
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,240
[narrator in Italian] I met Falcone
and told him I wanted to testify.

503
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,520
He was a true opponent of Cosa Nostra.

504
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,480
For me Falcone was the state.

505
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,400
A man who really wanted to fight
the Mafia.

506
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Not like the Italian state
which just pretended.

507
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,200
[Tommaso in Italian]
Between July and December 1984

508
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,840
I gave evidence to Falcone
nearly every day.

509
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,800
[narrator in Italian]
I wish to stress that I am not a rat.

510
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,160
I'm just a tired man who recognizes
all I once believed in is no more.

511
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,200
I want to tell what I know of this cancer
that is the Mafia.

512
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,640
My love!

513
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,760
I wish I could describe the trauma

514
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,400
to admit in public that I am a Mafioso.

515
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,120
[Cristina] For him breaking the Omerta

516
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,720
was really the hardest decision
of his life,

517
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,840
because he had this sensation

518
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,760
that, uh, he broke something
that was sacred.

519
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,800
Omerta is sacred...

520
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,320
in the old times.

521
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:26,480
-Today it's bullshit.
-[sirens blaring]

522
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,880
[male reporter] As a result
of Buscetta's testimony

523
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,000
hundreds of warrants have been issued
across Italy.

524
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,240
[male reporter 2] The arrests are being
called the largest

525
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,240
and the most important
anti-Mafia operations since World War II

526
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,000
[male reporter 3] Italian
investigators say

527
00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:42,360
Buscetta has also named Mafia members
in the United States.

528
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,640
[Giuseppe in Italian] The Americans
asked us to give them Buscetta

529
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,040
once we'd finished with him
as they needed him too.

530
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,760
We couldn't believe our luck.

531
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,120
From a security point of view,
Buscetta was extremely problematic.

532
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:57,840
They sent him to the United States

533
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,080
because Italy had no infrastructure
to protect him.

534
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,160
The DEA chief told me,
"The only thing he wanted

535
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,680
was you and the children...
in the United States,

536
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,800
under protection, that's all he wants."

537
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,800
[Roberto] One day she comes home
and starts packing bags.

538
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,320
"We're going to the United States."
And, oh, man.

539
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,880
Anyone who hasn't been
to the United States.

540
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,080
"We're going to Disney?
This is great, you know.

541
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,360
When do we leave?"

542
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,680
[sirens blaring]

543
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,680
[Rudy] Last evening,
on December 20, 1984 Tommaso Buscetta

544
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,560
was returned to the United States.

545
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,800
For the next several months
he will be kept in secret...

546
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,040
hopefully under very,
very extreme security conditions,

547
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,880
because this man is in jeopardy
and he is offering information

548
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,800
against some of the most dangerous people
in the world.

549
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,960
And it is incumbent upon
the United States government

550
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,040
to take extraordinary security precautions
with him.

551
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,520
[John] The first safe house was located
in the suburbs, um, in New Jersey.

552
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,120
We lived with him for 24 hours a day
on shifts.

553
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,320
And there were eight or nine of us.

554
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,240
You can get to know a person well
under those circumstances.

555
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,080
My first impression of, uh,
of Buscetta was that he was,

556
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,640
uh, just as cool as could be
under these, uh,

557
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:31,400
under these circumstances.

558
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,120
Resigned to where he was,
uh, resigned to, uh,

559
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,520
going through the process to the end,
whatever that, uh, end might be,

560
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,080
but absolutely confident carrying out
what he had promised to do.

561
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,240
[narrator] My guardian
angels jump at the slightest noise.

562
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,280
I am never allowed to leave the house.

563
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,920
The only people who can come near me
are the agents who guard me.

564
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,840
My days are long.

565
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Not least because I don't speak
a word of English.

566
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,720
They're trying to assign me someone
who speaks Italian.

567
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,600
He-- he was a member of the Mafia.
He was a criminal.

568
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,720
That's the bottom line.

569
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,080
However, I had a good relation.

570
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,120
So, we would walk in the backyard
of the safe house.

571
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,200
And, uh, he-- he--
he mentioned one time that, uh,

572
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,960
members of his family were killed
by Toto Riina.

573
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,520
But, uh, usually he didn't like
to talk about his past.

574
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,920
[John] It has to be understood
that during that period

575
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Buscetta was the most important,
most wanted,

576
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,080
and most endangered witness
in American criminal history.

577
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,200
It didn't make security sense
to have anyone,

578
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,400
but a fewest number of people
to know where he was.

579
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:58,440
[Alfredo] Prosecutors were not allowed
to know the address of the safe house.

580
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,360
Someone would pick them up
from the courthouse in Manhattan

581
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,240
and an FBI agent brought them
with, uh, a suburban van

582
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,040
with the dark windows to the safe house.

583
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,280
Because even without knowing,
they might disclose the address.

584
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,880
[narrator] They stop
my wife telling me where she lives.

585
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,160
And I'm not allowed to tell her
where I am.

586
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,960
They tell me I have to accept it.
It's for her safety.

587
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,520
[Roberto] Finally the time had come
that we could go and see Tommaso.

588
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,280
And there was agents there
waiting to pick us up.

589
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,600
Got put into one of their vehicles.

590
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,880
Then we were driven
to this beautiful countryside.

591
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,800
I hadn't seen him,
I believe it was for two years.

592
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,760
And when we arrived there,

593
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,840
it was a surreal scene because...

594
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,560
here's this bunch of DEA agents

595
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,800
armed to their teeth, you know,
and... having a plate of pasta.

596
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,000
He was a good cook.
I loved-- loved the way he cooked.

597
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,200
And, uh... in the morning
he gave us, uh, the ingredients

598
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,117
we were supposed to buy.
We went out to buy the ingredients

599
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,200
and at night he was cooking
the ingredients and we loved it.

600
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,800
We were living like, uh, roommates.

601
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,040
[John] I like to cook.
I like Italian food.

602
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,720
From time to time
he and I would talk about cooking.

603
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,960
The recipe that Mr. Buscetta
wrote out for me

604
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,640
on a piece of legal pad
was for pasta puttanesca

605
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,120
It's a good, good tomato sauce.

606
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,720
And he would make that from time to time,
using this recipe.

607
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,800
And I still use it at home, yes.

608
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,680
I've had it now for, what, 30 years.

609
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,000
Buscetta, we thought,
was in a unique position

610
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,320
having been in the United States before.

611
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,040
He could testify in an upcoming case
about heroin trafficking in New York.

612
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,840
[narrator]
It is a huge investigation.

613
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,560
I have to listen to thousands of wiretaps.

614
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,280
And translate everything
that Americans can't understand.

615
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,720
[Alfredo] For instance, when they said,
"I sent you 12 and a half chocolate."

616
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,920
So, chocolate is sweet and money is sweet.

617
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,720
That means they were sending money.

618
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,560
And for instance,
"I sent you... five white shirts,"

619
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,440
that means cocaine.
It's white and they were sending cocaine.

620
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,600
That's some of the points, uh,
Tommaso Buscetta was clearing up for us.

621
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,600
[man in Italian]
I met the guy with the shirts.

622
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,000
But there's a problem.

623
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,880
Another guy has shirts
that are 10% acrylic.

624
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,280
[John] I traveled to Italy
with him once to testify.

625
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,960
He didn't think
he was going to make it alive.

626
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,880
He thought that he would be assassinated.

627
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:10,640
I remember we ourselves weren’t confident
that he would come back, uh,

628
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,680
and nor were we confident
that we would come back.

629
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,360
It's just that Buscetta
was such an important witness

630
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,560
at that time that anybody
associated with him would be in danger.

631
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,840
[Giovanni in Italian]
Even now after 32 years

632
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,360
I can't make peace with Buscetta.

633
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,080
-[bell tolling]
-[siren blaring]

634
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:46,520
[Giovanni in Italian]
The wound is too deep.

635
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,720
It was December 7th, 1984.

636
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,760
In the evening we closed the factory.

637
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,320
I got into my car and I drove home.

638
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Then from the distance I saw
a group of people, some commotion.

639
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,880
As I got closer, I saw police.

640
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,320
I tried to peer over to see what happened.

641
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,120
Just out of curiosity.

642
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,160
I saw a man on the ground.

643
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,440
He was covered with a table cloth.

644
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,200
The feet were the only thing
you could see of the body.

645
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,680
A pair of brown shoes
and light blue socks.

646
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,200
Those were my dad's socks.

647
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,120
[male reporter in Italian]
The victim, Pietro Buscetta was aged 62.

648
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,360
He was married to Serafina Buscetta

649
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,440
a sister of Tommaso Buscetta.

650
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:58,040
He was shot three times
in the head last night.

651
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,320
Pietro Buscetta had no links to the Mafia.

652
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,200
This suggests that the Mafia
wants to punish

653
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,520
Tommaso Buscetta "the Boss of Two Worlds".

654
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,840
It has already killed two of his sons

655
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,480
a brother and three nephews in Palermo.

656
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,120
[Tommaso in Italian] They took out
my brother in law

657
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,920
a harmless and defenseless man.

658
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,240
That's how Mafia codes are changing.

659
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Before we settled scores
amongst ourselves. It was personal.

660
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,120
If you Tommaso Buscetta failed, you paid.

661
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,520
Now the innocent pay the price.

662
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,800
[Giovanni in Italian]
Buscetta's impact on my life

663
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,360
has been devastating like a grenade.

664
00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:00,200
After dad's death, we were living
in a fear beyond words.

665
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,960
We were given round the clock protection.

666
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,160
But having police guards
outside our factory all day

667
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,240
was catastrophic for business.

668
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,760
"I consider morally void
our sibling relationship

669
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,840
and I don't deem him my brother anymore."

670
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,640
That's what my mother wrote
three weeks after my dad's murder.

671
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:30,960
DON'T CALL ME BUSCETTA ANYMORE

672
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,560
Don't call me Buscetta anymore.

673
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,760
He wrote asking for her forgiveness.

674
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,960
But I didn't allow her
to forgive her brother.

675
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,000
He didn't deserve it.

676
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,160
Then Mom got ill.

677
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,920
When I saw her in her dying days.

678
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,920
I came close and asked,
"Mom, how are you feeling?"

679
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,080
She smiled, though in her state,

680
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,280
she may not have intended to.

681
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:11,360
But she said: "Masino it's nothing."

682
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,800
"Mom, it's Giovanni, not Masino!
Who are you calling?"

683
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,120
"Masino, mattarusa suio."

684
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,080
When they were little and played together

685
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:35,080
she was often naughty.

686
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,400
He'd say to her, "Mattarusa sei."

687
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,400
In Sicilian that means

688
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,360
"You're a wild child,
a horrid little girl."

689
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,040
I return to Mom dumbfounded.

690
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,480
I say, "Mom, it's Giovanni, your son."
And she replies,

691
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,560
"Masino, matterusa suio
and I forgive you."

692
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,440
[sighs]

693
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,280
I felt like scum.

694
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:22,200
I hadn't allowed my mother to express
what she felt in her heart.

695
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,120
[helicopter whirring]

696
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,160
[male reporter] What makes
this Mafia trial different

697
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:35,840
from any other is the cracking
of the Mafia code of silence.

698
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,320
The court, it's known as the bunker

699
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,760
and it's a symbol
of the state's determination

700
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,960
finally to tackle the Mafia
on its home ground.

701
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,880
A great bullet proof glass screen
lines the perimeter

702
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,840
behind a tall steel fence,
which is massive, bomb proof,

703
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,040
an apt and ugly stage
for the litany of death,

704
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,920
which is to be recounted
within its walls.

705
00:46:59,322 --> 00:47:00,897
[Giuseppe in Italian]
It was the most important trial

706
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,360
against Cosa Nostra.

707
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,400
Not just because of the huge number
of defendants.

708
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,760
There were 475.

709
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,880
But because it was the first
to present in court

710
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,040
a comprehensive vision of Cosa Nostra.

711
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,320
It seems unbelievable today
but remember the context of the time.

712
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,400
Some people in Sicily were still claiming
the Mafia didn't exist.

713
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,960
That it was just a bunch of criminals
like anywhere in the world.

714
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,520
This is the Maxi Trial.

715
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,760
[crowd clamoring]

716
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:37,440
[men speaking Italian]

717
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,600
[speaks Italian]

718
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,840
[woman speaking Italian]

719
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:48,760
If they're "men of honor"
why did they kill my son?

720
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,200
-[woman speaking Italian]
-[crowd clamoring]

721
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,920
[man speaking Italian]

722
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,920
One morning, Buscetta's lawyer
gets up to address the court.

723
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,280
[in Italian] I can announce
that Tommaso Buscetta is ready

724
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,600
to appear in person.

725
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:11,840
He'll offer his testimony
at the court's convenience.

726
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:24,120
[Giuseppe] Buscetta enters...

727
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:28,000
like His Majesty arriving. Total silence.

728
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,080
[Cristina] I know
what was going through his mind.

729
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,040
I think he was decided.

730
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,560
He had a resolve, he had no doubt there.

731
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,240
And I could say finally.

732
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,000
[Tommaso in Italian]
I am not someone who repents.

733
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,520
I have nothing to repent.

734
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,760
The man I was, I still am.

735
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:14,760
But I no longer feel part
of the organization I once belonged to.

736
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:21,920
Since the 1970s this organization
known as Cosa Nostra...

737
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,960
has subverted its ideals.

738
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,880
Law abiding people
may have considered them dirty...

739
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:36,480
but to us members,
they were once beautiful.

740
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,600
[Giuseppe] Falcone wrote it word for word.

741
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,120
"As a Mafioso, I have nothing to repent."

742
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,120
It is the people I will speak about.

743
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,600
It is they who have betrayed the Mafia.

744
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,160
They are traitors.

745
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:58,720
While I defend the real Mafia.

746
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:02,040
He put it in those terms;
we couldn't care less.

747
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,280
[coughs] The main thing for us was that
he told us the things he did.

748
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,120
The Commission is made up
of leading figures

749
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,120
chosen from all the families.

750
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,240
[man in Italian] Are there other ranks
within the families?

751
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,560
Yes: soldier, deputy

752
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,400
chief and commander.

753
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,240
If the head of a family is killed
without the Commission knowing

754
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,640
it would mean war breaks out.

755
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,760
[Giuseppe] We had the pieces of mosaic
but didn't know how they fit together.

756
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,600
Buscetta gave us the design.

757
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,240
[Lisa] For him to be able to break
that the code of silence,

758
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,040
it must have totally destroyed him.

759
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,240
I could see it in his face.

760
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,640
My father had changed.
My father was in pain.

761
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,200
His whole aura had changed
going through that.

762
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:04,880
[Giuseppe] Attempts were made
to discredit Buscetta in court.

763
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,240
[speaks Italian]

764
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,520
[Giuseppe] In particular there was
an important defendant named Calo.

765
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,080
A former close friend.

766
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,200
He wanted to speak directly
to Buscetta face to face.

767
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,600
Listen, Buscetta--

768
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,280
[Tommaso] Don't call me Buscetta.

769
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,560
-What do you want me to call you?
-[Tommaso speaking Italian]

770
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,880
Use another name! Because you trampled
over those caressed.

771
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,200
Buscetta! Excuse me, Your Honor.

772
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,880
He knows I was on good terms
with his brother.

773
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,160
Right? You know about this relationship
I had with your brother?

774
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,280
[Tommaso]
Go on! Continue. I'll answer in a minute.

775
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
[scoffs] Very well.

776
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,840
So I would talk with his brother Vincenzo.

777
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,080
And with tears in his eyes he'd say to me,

778
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,640
"Do you know what Tommaso
has done this time?

779
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,560
He's run off again!

780
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,240
Leaving one son in jail
and the other on drugs."

781
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,560
That's what I mean when I ask

782
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,400
"What is this Tommaso Buscetta
capable of?"

783
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,160
[Tommaso] I'm angry with this man.

784
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:17,120
Don't get angry. Anger is for dogs.

785
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,800
[Tommaso] Because not once
in 400 pages of testimony

786
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,600
do I ever mention
anyone's family problems.

787
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:32,560
It's strange for a man of honor like him

788
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,200
to talk about my private family matters.

789
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,040
The only true thing he's saying
in this courtroom

790
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:47,800
is that he and my brother were close.

791
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:55,280
But at the same time,
he sat with the Mafia Commission

792
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,680
to pronounce a death sentence
against that same brother.

793
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,560
And my nephew.

794
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,960
He should not talk about my family!

795
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:05,880
Really?

796
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,840
Your son, a clean young man?

797
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,480
[Tommaso] Yes, you crook!

798
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:15,160
Calling me a crook?
You're the liar Buscetta!

799
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,000
[spectators clamoring]

800
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,520
[Tommaso] You slaughtered half my family!

801
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,520
-Why didn't you have me killed?
-Don't you worry!

802
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,400
[Tommaso] You couldn't find me?

803
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,840
I'm well protected now
so you can't get me killed.

804
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,840
You'll have to wait a few years.

805
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,320
Calo, you're a hypocrite
and a lying mafioso!

806
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,520
[overlapping chatter]

807
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,280
Buscetta, quite skillfully used
an emotional approach.

808
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:48,840
He reminded Calo of a crime.

809
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,640
Even Buscetta may have
forgotten it previously.

810
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,520
He said, "You killed Giannuzzo Lallicata
with your own hands."

811
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,080
I still remember the name.

812
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:03,320
[Tommaso] Giannuzzo Lallicata.
You did him with your own hands!

813
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:06,160
Calo's expression at that moment.

814
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:08,920
I saw he was crushed.

815
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,080
But looking at him from ten meters away...

816
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,360
I saw he was crushed.

817
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,960
For Calo it was carnage.

818
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,560
And he got his life imprisonment.

819
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,760
They all did.

820
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,000
Life sentences for everyone
at the top of Cosa Nostra.

821
00:54:27,195 --> 00:54:33,515
From then on, his life was hanging
by a thread.

822
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:40,800
[Cristina] He wasn't afraid,

823
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:46,640
but he was afraid
of the consequences to his family.

824
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,400
And they were all in the United States,
thank God.

825
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,120
[male reporter] Since Tommaso Buscetta
betrayed Cosa Nostra,

826
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:58,760
the Mafia in Italy and the United States
has sought to hit back.

827
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,320
Palermo yesterday was the scene

828
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,120
of the biggest Mafia massacre
in the city's history.

829
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,600
Eight men were brutally murdered
while meeting in a stable.

830
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Even for Palermo,
a city that has recently witnessed

831
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,440
hundreds of killings,
yesterday's massacre was shocking.

832
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,840
Experts say the killings were carried out
as a warning to any men of honor

833
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,400
thinking of following Buscetta's example.

834
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,882
BUSCETTA ALREADY ON HIS WAY TO NEW YORK

835
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,160
[male reporter 2] It's 44 degrees
with clear skies

836
00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:27,240
tonight in midtown Manhattan.

837
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,320
Tomorrow in federal court
Tommaso Buscetta,

838
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,200
the mob boss they call the Godfather
of the Two Worlds,

839
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,920
will betray the Mafia.

840
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,320
Federal investigators have landed

841
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,840
one of the biggest Mafia canaries
of all times.

842
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,600
[male reporter 3] This trial is known
as the Pizza Connection Case,

843
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:44,400
because the prosecution says the Mafia

844
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,680
ran the heroin ring out of pizza places
across the country.

845
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,480
[male reporter 4] Millions of dollars
in drug money

846
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:54,160
were passing through these pizzerias,
dirty money that had to be laundered.

847
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,920
The pizza men just carried it to the bank.

848
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,760
[male reporter 5]
The first witness in the case,

849
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,880
Tommaso Buscetta, a member
of the Sicilian Mafia,

850
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,800
now breaking his code of Omerta.

851
00:56:04,137 --> 00:56:05,640
[man 1] What he was able to do for us

852
00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:09,240
is demonstrate and explain
to us the connections

853
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,720
between the Sicilian Mafia
and the American Mafia.

854
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,320
[man 2] What kind of illegal activities
do they coordinate on if any?

855
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,760
[Tommaso] What activities? Drugs.

856
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,600
Would you say that drugs now represent
the chief source of income

857
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,480
for the Cosa Nostra
here in the United States?

858
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,520
[Tommaso] Yes.

859
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:32,400
I saw large quantities of heroin
being shipped from Sicily to US.

860
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,407
It would be impossible to sell it

861
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,800
without the authorization
of the local Mafia.

862
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,880
You've use the word "men of honor"
repeatedly throughout your statement.

863
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,560
Do you now agree that...

864
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,240
there is nothing honorable
about being an assassin?

865
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:58,920
[Tommaso] I agree with that.

866
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:06,280
I only used the term "men of honor"
as this is what they call themselves.

867
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,400
But that no longer applies to me.
I am a traitor.

868
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,000
[indistinct chatter]

869
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,600
[Roberto] Something remind you
of something?

870
00:57:21,830 --> 00:57:24,870
[Cristina] You know,
remember the movie Miami Vice?

871
00:57:24,977 --> 00:57:26,600
-[woman] Yeah.
-[Roberto] What more do they got,

872
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,680
-you know?
-[Tommaso] An American favela!

873
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,760
[narrator in Italian] Finally, after three
years apart, I went back to my family.

874
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,880
[indistinct chatter]

875
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,080
[narrator] We were so happy
that first evening we didn't even eat.

876
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,680
[Roberto] Do you see Italian?
That's where the market is.

877
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:45,880
[Cristina] That's the street?

878
00:57:46,117 --> 00:57:47,800
-[Roberto] We still got a bit.
-[Cristina laughs]

879
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,240
[Tommaso speaking Italian]

880
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,920
[Cristina] He thought he would be Daddy,
the head of the family again.

881
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,240
-[Roberto] Oh, got you guys, eh?
-[Stefano shouts]

882
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,720
Yeah, Stefano.

883
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:02,200
[Cristina] But for years
the kids were used to me.

884
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,040
And they would go
straight through him and say,

885
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,760
"Mom, can I do this, can I do that?"
Like he didn't exist.

886
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:13,320
-And he grew very disappointed.
-[Roberto speaking indistinctly]

887
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,440
[Lisa speaking Italian]

888
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,600
So, Daddy was very strong
about keeping the Italian tradition.

889
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,480
[speaks foreign language]

890
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,160
[Lisa] I think
that Daddy was afraid about us

891
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,200
becoming too Americanized.

892
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,200
[Roberto] Tommaso's adaptation
to the United States

893
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,880
-was incredibly difficult.
-[woman speaking Italian]

894
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,480
He was Sicilian through and through,
from the prosciutto and the mozzarella...

895
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,160
-[Cristina in Italian] How's life?
-Great.

896
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,960
Even better with this mozzarella!

897
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,560
[Roberto] The sitting down on Sunday,
the full table, the family.

898
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,240
-[woman speaking Italian]
-[indistinct chatter]

899
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,560
[Cristina] He lost his identity.

900
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,760
He didn't know what to do
with his life anymore.

901
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,160
He wasn't allowed to work.
He wasn't allowed to meet Italians.

902
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,680
He wasn't allowed anything.
Because of security.

903
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,880
He said, "I'm here like a nobody
and my wife is going to work.

904
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,320
This is killing me."

905
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,360
I say, "Thank God I can get jobs."
[chuckles]

906
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,200
My very first job in America
was selling funerals.

907
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,680
[chuckles] It's not a nice job.

908
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,120
There was a funerary,
say we need people, so I went there.

909
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,680
I am the worst sales person
you can imagine in your life.

910
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,360
"No, you are perfect."
I say, "Okay, what am I going to do?"

911
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,480
And then she taught me how many types
of funerals,

912
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,560
uh, the catalog of coffins.
This is not me.

913
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,080
[chuckles] Nothing to do with me,
but I need the money.

914
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,800
-So, I went door to door.
-[doorbell rings]

915
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,240
But my husband Tommaso...
[chuckles] ...that was his disgrace.

916
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:50,600
He feel like a gigolo.

917
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,600
[Roberto] It's the working man again!
All right, here he is!

918
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,920
There's the working man, say hello.

919
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:00,480
-Hello.
-All right.

920
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,000
I'm going to work.

921
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,360
[Roberto] Here is a guy
who's in the prime of his life

922
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,640
all of the sudden not being able
to generate cash.

923
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,400
Whoa, the working man again!
Oh, it's him, it's him!

924
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,120
-[chuckles] Okay.
-All right, time to work.

925
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:17,840
-Stop, stop.
-Okay.

926
01:00:18,407 --> 01:00:20,000
[in Italian] I have to do everything
by myself.

927
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,040
[Roberto] Oh, whoops,
I guess that's my cue to go and help.

928
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:25,820
[in Italian] The foundation of the family!

929
01:00:25,927 --> 01:00:27,200
I'm just the bottom of this family.

930
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,840
[Cristina speaking Italian]

931
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,920
All week I hear, "It's a holiday"
Everyone comes, eats and leaves.

932
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,160
-And no one helps!
-[Cristina speaking Italian]

933
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,320
So, I might as well cook myself,
that's it!

934
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:44,520
-[sirens blaring]
-[horns honking]

935
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,600
[indistinct chatter]

936
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,680
[Roberto] It's the 4th of July.
We're all narrating here.

937
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Who do we got here?
We got Dad going out to cook.

938
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,040
Look at that bum.

939
01:00:54,152 --> 01:00:55,080
[woman speaks indistinctly]

940
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:56,800
[Roberto] Today, I understand,

941
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:01,560
he was going through a lot
of psychological issues at the time.

942
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:07,480
-He felt that he was... no longer anybody.
-[indistinct chatter]

943
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,400
[narrator in Italian]
Today I have a new identity.

944
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,920
I've had many
and probably it won't be the last.

945
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,840
My children look at me and ask,
"Daddy what's my name?"

946
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,000
They're forced to move
from city to city with me.

947
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,680
Of course, this creates mistrust
in the family.

948
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,400
[Stefano] Oh, look at them,
they're fighting.

949
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,000
-[indistinct conversation]
-[Stefano] Look at my mom.

950
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:36,720
Blow a kiss, Mom.

951
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:37,920
[speaks Italian]

952
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
You don't like all this?

953
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,400
[Tony] With Tommaso and his family
I probably spent ten years total.

954
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,240
Looking out for his protection,
travelling with him to Italy,

955
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,160
travelling with him to different
parts of the United States, uh,

956
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,320
travelling with him to Washington,
where they wanted his testimony.

957
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,120
The agency always wanted somebody
with him.

958
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,640
Buscetta has to stay away
from the night clubs,

959
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,720
the-- the big city,
he has to keep himself secluded basically.

960
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,000
Whether he'll be able
to do that or whether his family

961
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,960
will allow him to do that, I don't know.

962
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,000
I personally don't think so.
I think somewhere down the line,

963
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,920
whether it's five, six, ten years along,
something will probably happen to him.

964
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,600
When the trial was completed,
I moved him to another safe house.

965
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,120
That was for the first
time where now he was with his family...

966
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,480
and we were not in the house.

967
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,040
Uh... We actually rented
the house next door.

968
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,280
They could not move unless we said so.

969
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,400
-I moved him one, two, three times.
-[Roberto speaking indistinctly]

970
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,840
-Hey, oh. Here is your moving supplies.
-[Roberto] Hey, man, that's a big roll.

971
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:39,920
Hold on there's more.

972
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,637
-[Roberto] Oh, my God!
-Just for you.

973
01:02:41,712 --> 01:02:42,760
[Tony] Where should I leave this stuff?

974
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:47,080
Hey, man, just take right out to the back.
In case none of you know, we're moving.

975
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,200
-It never ends.
-[Roberto] It never ends.

976
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,280
I tell you.

977
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:54,800
[Roberto]
This is where we're sleeping tonight.

978
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,480
[Cristina] If they found us in America,
they would kill him.

979
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,600
That's for sure, so we were very cautious.

980
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,520
[Roberto] I think the first time
I knew he had a gun,

981
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,520
I must have been already 15-16 years old.

982
01:03:08,162 --> 01:03:10,917
And, uh,
we were doing some reconstruction

983
01:03:11,017 --> 01:03:12,520
-at this house that we lived in.
-[indistinct chatter]

984
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:16,320
And I dropped the box
that belonged to his room.

985
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,800
And, uh, his gun fell out.
And didn't think twice.

986
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,320
You grab it, you put it back in,
you close the box. It never happened.

987
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,040
Look at all these trees down there.

988
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,720
Look at that.
This is the house, right here.

989
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,280
[groans] U-Hauls.

990
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,560
Ah, I don't wanna drive
those things anymore.

991
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,440
But we made it here safe,
we made it here yesterday at midnight...

992
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,120
and... here we go.

993
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:53,520
[Cristina] This house...
were one of the happiest places we lived.

994
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,800
And for-- for the entire year,
no problem. It was always good things.

995
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,520
Good neighbors, good life,
good everything.

996
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,080
[chuckles] Yeah.

997
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,840
I-- I miss the time I lived here.

998
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,497
-[Roberto] It's beautiful.
-[Lisa] Just go, go on out.

999
01:04:11,572 --> 01:04:12,880
-[Roberto] Oh my God.
-[Lisa] Go outside.

1000
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,160
[Cristina] What's going on?
Santa Claus is here.

1001
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,480
[Tommaso] Santa Claus is here.

1002
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,720
[Cristina] Security was the main concern.

1003
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,840
Here he went under the radar, absolutely.

1004
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,200
Because he was like every other Latino.

1005
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,480
He looks like Mexican
when he puts his mustache doesn't he?

1006
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:30,320
Where's Lisa?

1007
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:31,880
-Lisa...
-Oh!

1008
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,720
...your butt is pretty,
but your face I should prefer.

1009
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,080
-Mom, I need the scissors.
-Who cares?

1010
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,920
[Lisa] The Buscetta name never came up.
I was never allowed to say that one.

1011
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Buscetta. Never until today.

1012
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,440
I-- I won't speak the name out.
Not because I'm embarrassed of it,

1013
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,120
but only because I've been told

1014
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,720
that name is not to be brought up
for the safety of the family.

1015
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:57,280
So, if you go look at my school records
with my real name, I never went to school.

1016
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,822
[chuckles] Because every time I went
to school, it was with a different name.

1017
01:04:59,922 --> 01:05:02,440
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Lisa] So there's still a danger.

1018
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,360
So, to me to say that name right now
is still uncomfortable

1019
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,360
-[indistinct chatter]
-[cheering]

1020
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,920
[boy] Right there, Grandpa, Grandpa!
Right there.

1021
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,200
-[screaming]
-[all laughing]

1022
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,160
[Cristina] Stefano. Stefano, say hi, babe.

1023
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:23,560
-[indistinct chatter]
-Hi.

1024
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,760
[Roberto] He always had Stefano's back.

1025
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,200
Because Stefano was the only child

1026
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,400
that he saw from birth
until he was a teenager.

1027
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,000
He drove him to school,
he took him to swimming lessons.

1028
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,240
That's when he was in his element.
My father was happy then.

1029
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,960
That was the only time.
So, it was a different kind of treatment.

1030
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,200
There was never any jealousy on my part.

1031
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,880
I just never understood
why he behaved in a certain way

1032
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,040
with my brother...
and in a certain way with me.

1033
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:52,760
[indistinct chatter]

1034
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:58,520
[Cristina] He fed his heart with this...
love that his children had for him.

1035
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,440
Particularly with Stefano.

1036
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,120
Stefano was a little boy,
he never knew anything

1037
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,160
about the Mafia and the Cosa Nostra.

1038
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,680
♪ Everybody cheered
As they watched him go ♪

1039
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,320

Went just like a broom ♪

-♪ Yeah ♪
-[audience applauding]

1041
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,680
[Cristina] What I told everybody...
[chuckles]

1042
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,280
...when he started making friends
with the neighbors,

1043
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,120
I say he is a consultant
for the Italian government.

1044
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,880
-Because in a certain way he was.
-[indistinct chatter]

1045
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,240
-[man] Hit it!
-[all cheering]

1046
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,520
[Roberto] I hated having to explain
to people little common questions of life.

1047
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,800
"So, what does your dad do?"
"Oh, here we go again with this question."

1048
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,080
It was all the time.

1049
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,240
He was, uh, an investor from overseas,
he was a consultant,

1050
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,480
uh, he, uh, worked with glass, uh,
construction foreman, you name it,

1051
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,880
You know, whatever was convenient
for the time.

1052
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:52,880
-[kid] Papa.
-[Roberto] First neighbors.

1053
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,720
First ones to come up and say something.

1054
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,640
Say bye. Say bye. Tell him bye.

1055
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,520
-[indistinct chatter]
-Bye. Oops.

1056
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,160
[Roberto] Bye.

1057
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:03,800
It was constant disruption.

1058
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,880
You know, you go to school,
you make some friends,

1059
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:12,000
you tell the lies, they all work fine
and then it all falls.

1060
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:18,040
And it happened over and over,
and over again.

1061
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:19,880
I can tell you...

1062
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:26,200
that I've never lived in a house
more than three years and I'm 43 now.

1063
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,160
The grand rules were you never say
who you are.

1064
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:34,000
You never trust anybody
no matter how friendly they become to you,

1065
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:39,200
no matter how close, how bonded, how tied,
because the Mafia doesn't forget.

1066
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:44,080
Somebody is gonna know somebody,
who knows somebody.

1067
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:45,840
And they're gonna come and get you.

1068
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,720
[male reporter]
Buscetta's unprecedented confessions

1069
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,240
have led to over 500 arrests...

1070
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,480
[Cristina] And all of a sudden
he pops up on television.

1071
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,600
[male reporter] At last the world can
glimpse the Godfather of Two Worlds.

1072
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,960
[Cristina] It was a program
about Cosa Nostra

1073
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,757
and Stefano was sitting
in front of the TV.

1074
01:08:05,832 --> 01:08:07,920
-[speaking indistinctly on TV]
-[Roberto] He was eight at the time

1075
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,800
and, uh, he recognized the hands,
he recognized the voice,

1076
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,920
he could see the outline in the shadow.

1077
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,480
And, uh, I remember he kinda had
this really startled look in his face.

1078
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,840
[Cristina] And Stefano got really mad.

1079
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,320
He had no idea who his father was.

1080
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,440
He looked at me and said,
"Mommy, Daddy killed people?"

1081
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:34,520
I said, "No.

1082
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:36,280
No."

1083
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,480
I lied because I wanted to protect my son.

1084
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,200
His father killed somebody
is too much for a nine years old.

1085
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,200
[Roberto]
We could call it the end of innocence.

1086
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,000
He truly saw the veil fall.

1087
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:56,240
He had an image of his father
that was one way.

1088
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,040
And all of the sudden
his whole world crumbled.

1089
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,560
[Cristina] Tommaso, he was devastated
that his son learnt that way.

1090
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:08,640
And I told him, "It's time to you
to get the boys together and tell them."

1091
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,520
"I'm embarrassed, I'm ashamed.

1092
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,480
-I can't talk to them."
-[indistinct chatter]

1093
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,160
[narrator] Today I live a life
that no longer belongs to me.

1094
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,680
Every day, every evening
every minute, I live in shame.

1095
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,480
I did something that was supposed
to bring good to my family.

1096
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,440
But the price was my dignity
the highest price of all.

01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,440
[Roberto] Papa. [speaks Italian]

1098
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,120
His persona became dark.

1099
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,120
He became more reserved than ever.

1100
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,440
Distant, even from the ones he loved.

1101
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:48,800
That's where it got violent.

1102
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:50,760
[Cristina] Punches and kicks,

1103
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,400

he's not your cellmate."

-[speaks Italian]
-[Roberto] Ciao.

What have I done
not to be your favorite?

1106
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,080
Why are you so angry with me all the time?

1107
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,080
Why is it that you feel need
to discipline just me?

1108
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,120
I hated him when he did that.

1112
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:24,400

1113
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,920
-[audience applauding]
-[Roberto] My father decided

1114
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,200
that we were gonna go
for an all-out celebration.

1115
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,040
He sat like always
with his back towards the wall.

1116
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,080
He liked to see what was coming.

1117
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:42,640
[Cristina] We chose our food
and I told him, "Something is wrong.

1118
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,880
That guy is looking at you
a little too much."

1119
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,840
And then he said,
"We cannot just jump and go."

1120
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,480
Then he came with the-- the singer.

1121
01:10:56,440 --> 01:10:59,240
[narrator] The owner
starts singing Toto Cutugno's song.

1122

The one that goes, "I am a true Italian."

1123
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,120
But he changes the lyrics.

1124
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,320
He sings,
I am proud of being a true Sicilian.

1125
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:09,640
He stares at me.

1126
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:15,240
[Cristina] Tommaso was very cool
to hide any emotion.

1127
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,520
[Roberto] And he turned to me
and he goes go get the car.

1128
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,640
He knew that if he stayed
in that restaurant,

1129
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,320
somebody was gonna be waiting
out front when we walked out.

1130
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,320

[car accelerating]

1132
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,720
[Lisa] You talk about parents going out,

1133
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,360
you make a plan
if a fire goes in the house.

1134
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:37,760
Well, we had a different plan, you know.

1135
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,240
It was my dad's plan
of what would happen,

1136
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:44,000
so we knew when he looked at us,
time to go, don't ask questions, just go.

1137
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,760
Uh... We have a mindset,
if the same type of contract

1138
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:53,640
was taken out in the United States,
as time goes on, it dissipates.

1139
01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:57,960
But the Sicilian's thinking is--
it's always the same.

1140
01:11:58,440 --> 01:12:01,640
Threat from the Sicilians
is a threat that lasts forever.

1141
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,680
[phone ringing]

1142
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,360
[Roberto] I received that phone call
and he wasn't home at that time,

1143
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:10,960
he had gone to go get his newspaper.

1144
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:15,080
And, uh, he came into the house
and astute like a fox,

1145
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:19,480
he knew something was wrong immediately.
"What's the matter?" He asked.

1146
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:24,040
And I said, "Dad...
Giovanni Falcone has just been killed.

and three police guards

were killed on this highway
in a bomb explosion.

A revenge attack,
according to anti-Mafia experts

1153
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,680
by Salvatore Riina,
the mobster known as The Beast.

1154

My father's reaction was incredible

1155
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,160
because he couldn't hold it.

1156
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,160
There was a total disillusion in his face.

1157
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,080
Everything that he--
he had been working for was falling apart.

1158
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,840
I saw terror in his eyes.

1159
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,360
[Cristina] He was disappointed
with the family.

1160
01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:25,240
One day he told me, "Nobody understood,
I didn't get out of the Mafia for me.

1161
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:27,040
I did for them.

1162
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:32,200
For you, for my kids.
To not live this nightmare anymore.

1163
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:34,560
And nobody cares."

spoke to Buscetta on the phone in the US

1168
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:57,160

by the FBI.

Yes.

Riina's been arrested, what do you think?

1172
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:12,680
I think it's the first miracle of 1993.
A very beautiful thing.

1173
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,280
He is my great enemy.

1174
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,360
Although I don't know
who exactly killed half my family,

1175
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:26,360
I know for sure he gave his approval
for their destruction.

1176
01:14:27,100 --> 01:14:29,820
Who would commit a murder
without first turning to him?

1177
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,480
Do you think they killed my sons,
and made them vanish

1178
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,480
without him knowing about it?

1179
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:37,360
Absurd!

1180
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:39,720
[Cristina] There are my boys.

1181
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,560

[indistinct chatter]

1183
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,040
[Cristina] He told me, "Let's go to Italy.

1184
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,280
We are safe there now."

1185
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:55,520

There I was truly me, just me."

-[Roberto] The bar.
-The bar.

1190
01:15:02,932 --> 01:15:03,800
[waitress] Okay.

01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,720

this is where I live,

1194
01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:15,320
beautiful city of Miami.

1195
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,680
Big wide streets,
something I'm gonna miss in Italy.

1196
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:28,680
Our last day in Miami
after ten years of life in America.

1197
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,000
We start a new phase.

1198
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,200
I hope it will be better.

1199
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,000
[all] Ciao.

1200
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:36,920
[Roberto] Ciao

1201
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,120
[Cristina] Stefano arrived here
as a tiny three-year-old.

1202
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,920
Now we're going to live in Europe, right?

1203
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,680
Stefano simply hated
this constant moving.

1204
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,880
And, "Mom, I--
As soon as I make friends, I lose them."

1205
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,760
He didn't like at all.
He never liked it, never.

1206
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:03,160
But, uh, my husband was tough.
He wanted to keep them close to him.

1207
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,520
I think he thought
America was more dangerous.

1208
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,480
[airplane roaring]

1209
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,920
[indistinct chatter in Italian]

1210
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:22,240
[Cristina] Daddy's here!

1211
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,360
The house may be empty
but now daddy's here!

1212
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:27,840
-[Stefano speaks indistinctly]
-[Cristina] Oh, yes.

1213
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,640
Living in Rome was a happy time for us,
like we were normal.

1214
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:35,760
But it wasn't normal at all.

1215
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,560
[Roberto] While we were in Italy,
we always had a shadow.

1216
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,000
They were always there.
At lunch, they are there.

1217
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:46,400
Christmas, they're there.

1218
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,200
The bodyguards, they were always there.

1219
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:53,080
And even when they didn't need
to be there, they were there.

1220
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,480
And, uh, it was just funny
to watch the interaction.

1221
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:00,040
I mean, here's a Mafioso
and a bunch of federal agents.

1222
01:17:00,832 --> 01:17:02,480
And they were hanging out
like they were little kids

1223
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,000
at the ball park,
I mean, it was ridiculous.

1224
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,480
I've never seen a guy
have so many uncles like I did.

1225
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,880
In the beginning
there were the Mafia uncles.

1226
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,512
And then in the later years
there were all the DEA guys, the FBI guys.

1227
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,440
Man, did I have a lot of uncles.

1228
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:24,280
[Cristina] He enjoyed Italy,
because he was surrounded all the time

1229
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,480
by about six guys.

1230
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:31,280
He didn't feel they were protecting him.
They were his best friends.

1231
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,920
He was a man in need of being loved.

1232
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,280
[waves crashing]

1233
01:17:41,440 --> 01:17:43,800
[Cristina] And then when we came,
he had a surprise for us.

1234
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,080
He said, "Let's go on a cruise."

1235
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:52,680
[Tommaso] The date is August 13th, 1995.

1236
01:17:54,480 --> 01:17:56,880
[Cristina] And this is Naples.

1237
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:02,680
He was so happy
that, uh, he could give me something.

1238
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,320
At that time, I thought, "Can you change
your hair color or do something?"

1239
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,840
He said, "No, no, no, don't worry,
don't worry." So, we went.

1240
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,440
[Roberto] My father asked me
if I wanted to go on a cruise for her.

1241
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:17,840
Again, this is always for my mother.

1242
01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:20,280
"Your brother's coming,
do you wanna to come?"

1243
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,440
And I said, "No, Dad, it's okay.

1244
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,440
And if that means that I'm going to be
out of your protection, then so be it."

1245
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,600
My father and I argued, and I told him,
I said, "This is not your choice to make.

1246
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,440
That time is finished."
And basically, that's the way it stuck.

1247
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:36,960
And I got my freedom.

1248
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:41,040
[ship horn blowing]

1249
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,480
[Cristina] It was in the Mediterranean,
the Greek Islands.

1250
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,240
It was really, really, really nice
for a teenager.

1251

[speaking in foreign language]

1252
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:54,560
And, uh, the group of teenagers,
they were all on their own.

1253
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,040
So, Stefano was happy.

1254
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,720
[indistinct chatter]

1255
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:06,160
And this guy started taking pictures
of us all the time,

1256
01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:08,560
uh, really bugging us a lot.

1257
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,880
[Cristina speaking indistinctly]

1258
01:19:09,977 --> 01:19:11,800
He did what a journalist does.

1259
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,640
-He-- He recognized Tommaso right away.
-[Stefano speaking Italian]

1260
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,680
[in Italian] Good evening. We open
our bulletin with the Buscetta case.

1261
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,400
The story broke
when a weekly magazine photographed

1262
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,480
the Mafia's most important turncoat

1263
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,000
on a Mediterranean cruise.

1264
01:19:28,440 --> 01:19:31,600
The news immediately set off fears
for Buscetta's security

1265
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:33,760
and for the safety
of the other passengers.

1266
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,320
[Roberto] The reporters
exposed my younger brother

1267
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,000
who had never ever been seen.

1268
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,720
Now he had become a target.

1269
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:42,280
[Cristina] They stopped the cruise

1270
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,560
because the fact
that he got into a confined space

1271
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,880
with a lot of Italians was very risky.

1272
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,240
And then Stefano, he was ashamed.

1273
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:57,280
His friends said, "Stefano, Stefano,
your dad is in the newspapers."

1274
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:04,960
They called the coastal guard
and they took us away.

1275
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:07,920
This changed our life completely.

1276
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:11,480
Because of the danger,
because of the Mafia,

1277
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,560
we had to leave Italy.

1324
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,440
I don't want to speak to him.

1325
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,480
And I've the right to refuse.

1326
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:18,240
[Tommaso] Your Honor, may I speak?

1327
01:23:18,440 --> 01:23:22,720
He talks of morals, with me,
because of women

1328
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:27,040
How can such a person talk about morals?

1329
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:32,040
When he's responsible
for the death of my loved ones

1330
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,080
and so many other innocent people?

1331
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,080
He talks about morality with me!

1332
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,760
Where are his morals? Riina.

1333
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:45,760
Show them to us!

1334
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,680
Let us see them.

1335
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:54,320
Where are your morals? Where are they?

1336
01:23:55,400 --> 01:24:01,200
The Mafia is finished
when a Mafioso speaks out.

1337
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,360
Riina, the Mafia is finished.

1338
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:10,440
[Cristina] He was proud

1339
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,920
that he finally said
what he wanted to say to Riina.

1340
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,360
But seeing the killer of his sons,

1341
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:22,120
he was very somber, very quiet.

1342
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,240
[indistinct chatter]

1343
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:33,720
[Roberto] The house in North Miami is, uh,
the last house that Tommaso lived in.

1344
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:40,000
-[indistinct chatter]
-[laughter]

1345
01:24:42,440 --> 01:24:45,640
[Cristina] No, no, no, wrong.
There you go.

1346
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,800
[indistinct chatter]

1347
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,880
[children speaking indistinctly]

1348
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:03,880
[Cristina speaks indistinctly]

1349
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:08,480
[in Italian] See how elegant she is!

1350
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:09,880
[Cristina] Oh, yes.

1351
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,280
Looks like she's stabbing it.

1352
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,080
[all laughing]

1353
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:20,120
[indistinct chatter]

1354
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,200
[Cristina] He thought he would die...
killed by somebody.

1355
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:29,960
But, uh, when he got the cancer,
no, that was a surprise for him.

1356
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:35,960
He said, "I thought everything,
but not dying of cancer."

1357
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,840
[indistinct chatter]

1358
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:42,640
-[Stefano] Look, Mommy.
-[indistinct chatter]

1359
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:45,440
-Ah.
-[Roberto] Ah.

1360
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,200
-Ah.
-[boy] Ah.

1361
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:48,440
[woman] See, beautiful shirt.

1362
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,880
-Ma...
-[all laughing]

1363
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,400
-[woman] I think it's other.
-[indistinct chatter]

1364
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:57,560
-[in English] Good.
-[woman chuckles]

1365
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:59,320
-Tell Lisa.
-[woman] Do we have your approval?

1366
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,080
[Lisa] It's okay? [chuckles]

1367
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,680
[in Italian] Beautiful shirt,
but I don't think I'll wear it.

1368
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,320
-[Lisa] That's nice!
-[speaks Italian]

1369
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,520
I'm nearly 70
and you buy me shirts like these?

1370
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,640
[Roberto] We left one morning
to the hospital...

1371
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,280
and unfortunately
he never recovered from the surgery.

1372
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,000
Cancer took hold
and he passed away three days later.

1373
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:58,120
[Lisa] My father was the glue
of the family. He kept us all together.

1374
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:04,400
[Roberto] The binding force had passed
and we all broke apart.

1375
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,440
Uh... We don't celebrate
holidays together anymore.

1376
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:10,720
There's a distance.

1377
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,760
Honestly, he would have come down

1378
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,600
with a wrath of God and said,
"What is this?

1379
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,400
What have I sacrificed everything for?"

1380
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,360
He would have been disgusted.
He would have rolled in his grave.

1381
01:27:30,440 --> 01:27:32,880
[Cristina] He would feel very bad...
very bad.

1382
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,400
Because family was everything for him,
everything.

1383
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,960
[Lisa] Cristina, my mom, is living alone.

1384
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:08,120
It would break his heart.

1385
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,480
[Roberto] December 23rd, 2007,

1386
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,960
Stefano passed away
in a-- a motorcycle accident.

1387
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,400
I'm glad my father
wasn't alive to see that.

1388
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,560
[Cristina] My son is here,
my husband is here.

1389
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:53,720
[sobs]

1390
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,240
[sniffles]

1391
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:01,800
I should be there, not my son. [sobs]

1392
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:04,760
Not my son.

1393
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,480
[sniffles]

1394
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:19,040
And I'm still here.

1395
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:22,800
I'm still here. [sniffles]

1396
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:28,600
[sniffles]

1397
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,960
[narrator in Italian]
I never regret giving evidence.

1398
01:29:51,440 --> 01:29:54,720
My only regret is joining the Mafia
in the first place.

1399
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,080
The final tally.

1400
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,920
I lost two sons, a brother
a brother-in-law

1401
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,480
a son-in-law and four nephews.

1402
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,600
They should have killed me instead.

1403
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,400
Rather than condemn me
to end up as a traitor.

1404
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,320
That would have been the right thing
to do.
