He could be generous to a fault or 178 00:13:41,390 --> 00:13:44,330 the meanest man on earth. Tell us more about that. That's true. 179 00:13:45,070 --> 00:13:51,190 He was kind, considerate. You know, he would have done anything for all of us. 180 00:13:52,010 --> 00:13:55,890 Very generous gifts and flowers and the best dinners and nice wine. 181 00:13:57,490 --> 00:14:03,870 But when whatever twisted him, whatever happened, it didn't matter how good 182 00:14:03,870 --> 00:14:04,990 those times were. 183 00:14:05,290 --> 00:14:08,090 Because the bad was so bad. And he abused you physically. 184 00:14:08,330 --> 00:14:09,450 He certainly did. What did he do? 185 00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:10,709 Stabbed me. 186 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:11,710 Broke my nose. 187 00:14:12,410 --> 00:14:14,690 Lost consciousness many times. Strangled me. 188 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:18,250 Would wake up, you know, 2 o 'clock in the morning with a pillow over my face. 189 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:20,430 And he would tell me that he decided that was the day I die. 190 00:14:21,390 --> 00:14:25,670 So the idea that he may have killed you was not outside of the realm of 191 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:29,230 possibility. Absolutely not. Mary, he talked to you about that. What did he 192 00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:33,030 He had said that if he ever went too far with Mom. 193 00:14:33,410 --> 00:14:34,229 Killed her. 194 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:35,230 Right. 195 00:14:35,699 --> 00:14:39,860 that I would have to understand that he would have to take care, you know, get 196 00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:43,640 rid of all of us because he could leave no witnesses and that it would be hard. 197 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,040 He'd have to kill you? 198 00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:47,780 And how old were you when he told you this? 199 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,580 That was probably about 14. 200 00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:55,400 Your father said, if I accidentally kill your mother in a fit of rage, I'm going 201 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,400 to have to kill you too. 202 00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:00,550 But that could have happened at any time during the rages that he could have 203 00:15:00,550 --> 00:15:05,010 slipped and killed any of us, all of us. And you accepted that? 204 00:15:06,010 --> 00:15:07,850 Well, at times that that might have been easier. 205 00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:12,070 There was no choice. What was the choice? 206 00:15:14,270 --> 00:15:15,750 What did you think of your father? 207 00:15:16,630 --> 00:15:21,050 Merrick and him were very close. I was not close with him. I was more, I 208 00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:24,190 protected my mother, and that was where my alliance laid. 209 00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:26,130 Merrick, you made excuses for him? 210 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,900 For his behavior at home. 211 00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:33,760 I don't know if it was excuses per se, but I 212 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:40,540 think that I tried to make him see different, 213 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,160 to try to calm him. 214 00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:48,600 And so my role was to try to keep him happy, to keep him calm so that the 215 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,600 outbursts were less. 216 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:55,340 Good dad was always overshadowed, but bad dad could be there any second. 217 00:15:55,980 --> 00:15:59,180 We had to be the perfect family, smiling. 218 00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:02,500 That's the difference. When he was around, we had to smile. 219 00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:08,180 We were born into this, and this was normal life for us. This is what home 220 00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:10,500 was all about. We didn't know that our friends didn't live like this. 221 00:16:11,310 --> 00:16:14,910 In his own sick, weird way, he loved them more than anything. 222 00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:17,470 They were his pride and joy. 223 00:16:17,690 --> 00:16:21,510 The only time I ever got any emotion out of him during all the many hours I 224 00:16:21,510 --> 00:16:25,750 spoke to him was when he spoke about his family, his dear, profound, twisted, 225 00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:27,170 sick love for them. 226 00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:51,730 Probably the smartest thing that Richard Kuklinski did as a hitman or as a 227 00:16:51,730 --> 00:16:55,610 killer was to leave very little trace of what he had done. 228 00:16:58,790 --> 00:17:03,470 One of the methods Richard used to kill and actually preferred was cyanide. 229 00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:09,390 Cyanide is a toxin that can work very fast on the body. 230 00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:11,730 It's a really potent... 231 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,099 Toxin, meaning that it doesn't take much in the way of milligrams to cause 232 00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:17,099 toxicity. 233 00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:24,859 Kuklinski used a number of different means of delivery of cyanide. He talked 234 00:17:24,859 --> 00:17:25,859 about putting it on food. 235 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,760 There's also injection. 236 00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:32,620 He could walk into a bar, bump elbows with the guy. 237 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,300 He's got cyanide in the drink. 238 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,500 Spill the drink on them. 239 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:39,700 And leave. 240 00:17:40,110 --> 00:17:43,530 Everybody just looks around and thinks you were drunk or that you just had an 241 00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:44,530 accident or something. 242 00:17:45,390 --> 00:17:46,390 Meanwhile, 243 00:17:47,010 --> 00:17:53,830 it's soaking through their clothes into their pores and into their system. 244 00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:57,690 And eventually, they'll die. 245 00:17:58,890 --> 00:18:02,170 Then there's the sprain in the face that he talked about. 246 00:18:02,690 --> 00:18:04,590 You can put it into a spray bottle. 247 00:18:19,090 --> 00:18:25,630 This guy takes 248 00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:28,350 five, no more than ten steps, falls to the ground. 249 00:18:29,850 --> 00:18:31,590 There's no turning around from that at all. 250 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:33,450 Not at all. 251 00:18:33,690 --> 00:18:37,030 Once they ingest that into their system, it's going to kill you. 252 00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:42,190 As a murderer, I can see where Cook -Clemson thought this was a good method 253 00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:44,350 because there's always the problem of the body. 254 00:18:44,830 --> 00:18:48,430 He wants to take somebody out. They suddenly look like they're having a 255 00:18:48,430 --> 00:18:49,430 attack. 256 00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:51,690 No one thinks it's cyanide. 257 00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:59,810 Chris, did you ever wonder why your mom didn't take you and flee the situation? 258 00:19:00,030 --> 00:19:00,729 Oh, many times. 259 00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:04,550 I begged her. Please, let's get out of here. Let's leave. Let's go someplace. 260 00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:05,930 There wasn't anywhere to go. 261 00:19:08,179 --> 00:19:10,940 They planned to poison him, Barbara and Chris. 262 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,340 They actually were planning to kill him, but they realized that if they tried to 263 00:19:15,340 --> 00:19:17,020 do that and it didn't work, that he would kill them. 264 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,360 Paul Hoffman was a pharmacist in New Jersey. 265 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560 At the time, the drug tagament. 266 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,480 was very popular, and was being ordered in large quantities by a lot of the 267 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,560 populace. It was a very expensive drug. 268 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,200 Hoffman wanted this drug that Kuklinski said he had. 269 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,680 I don't know what the price was going back then, but let's just say if the 270 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,740 price for the medicine was $5, he was going to buy it for under a dollar. 271 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,180 He was going to make a ton of money. 272 00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:09,910 Richard Kukwinski told Hoffman that somebody was going to deliver a van 273 00:20:09,910 --> 00:20:13,990 with tagament for him. And Hoffman emptied out his bank account. 274 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:17,450 He had, I believe it was $20 ,000 or $25 ,000 in cash. 275 00:20:21,790 --> 00:20:26,830 Kukwinski had Paul Hoffman come to his garage on New Kirk Avenue. 276 00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:32,250 And he closed the door. 277 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,800 He says, how am I going to get this merchandise? 278 00:20:39,620 --> 00:20:44,480 I put the gun under his chin, and I said, there is no merchandise. 279 00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:48,060 And I shot him. 280 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,300 Paul Hoffman did not die. 281 00:20:54,740 --> 00:21:00,760 He was struggling and gurgling, and Richard tried to shoot him again, and 282 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,240 gun malfunctioned. 283 00:21:04,750 --> 00:21:06,170 Took a tire iron out. 284 00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:11,870 And beat him to death. 285 00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:18,990 He then took his body and he put it in a 50 -gallon drum. 286 00:21:20,150 --> 00:21:25,470 And he placed concrete on top of the body and he sealed the drum. 287 00:21:27,790 --> 00:21:30,810 And that's how Paul Hoffman met his demise. 288 00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:32,690 The murder seems. 289 00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:35,700 Pretty cruel. 290 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,920 Callous. 291 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,040 No feeling. 292 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,120 No remorse at all. 293 00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:01,460 Welcome back to Very Scary People. By 1982. 294 00:22:02,270 --> 00:22:06,010 Police say Richard Kuklinski had killed three men in New Jersey, George 295 00:22:06,010 --> 00:22:10,870 Malaband, Louis Mazgay, and Paul Hoffman, as part of what was dubbed his 296 00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:11,870 commercial murders. 297 00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:15,870 The murders were committed and the bodies dumped in three different 298 00:22:15,870 --> 00:22:20,250 jurisdictions. And though Kuklinski was thought to be the last person to see 299 00:22:20,250 --> 00:22:24,990 each of them alive, these killings were unsolved and unlinked for a long time. 300 00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:27,870 But all that was about to change. 301 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,560 In the 1980s, Kuklinski began working with a small crime ring in the northern 302 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,559 part of New Jersey. 303 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,620 They were doing house burglaries and stolen cars and stuff like that. 304 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,340 Richard Kuklinski was the boss. 305 00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:44,440 Underneath him was Percy House. 306 00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:49,820 Two of the more productive of his crew, if you call it that, were Gary Smith and 307 00:22:49,820 --> 00:22:50,820 Danny Deppner. 308 00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:57,600 I had 40 house burglaries in a three -county area. 309 00:22:58,340 --> 00:23:01,820 And I had an informant with me.

They had no idea 353 00:25:55,860 --> 00:26:00,140 this guy's corpse was underneath it before the odor finally got the hotel 354 00:26:00,140 --> 00:26:01,860 to find it and call the cops. 355 00:26:02,340 --> 00:26:06,600 There was decay that had occurred. So the body had actually turned the skin 356 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,560 in color to the point that they thought it was an African -American male 357 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,560 initially. 358 00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:14,980 Kuklinski knows that there's someone else who has to be eliminated from the 359 00:26:14,980 --> 00:26:16,440 case, and that's Mr. Deppner. 360 00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:26,490 May? Of 1983, Danny Deppner's body was found by a reservoir in the woods and 361 00:26:26,490 --> 00:26:28,710 wrapped in multiple layers of garbage bags. 362 00:26:29,730 --> 00:26:34,350 When I got to the scene, I remember saying to myself, you son of a bitch, 363 00:26:34,350 --> 00:26:35,350 going to get you now. 364 00:26:35,810 --> 00:26:37,790 Come hell or high water, I'm going to get you. 365 00:26:38,790 --> 00:26:41,290 And that's when I started to zero in on him. 366 00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:43,910 We found three reports. 367 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:47,590 They were sitting in like a dead file, going nowhere. 368 00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:51,960 Hoffman. Nascay and Malibu. 369 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,780 The police made the connection that Richard Kuklinski appeared to be the 370 00:26:58,780 --> 00:27:05,260 person who had been seen by these three men who subsequently were murdered. 371 00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:11,060 When I discovered that, I go, oh, wow. 372 00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:13,420 How many people did this guy kill? 373 00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:18,560 They didn't have anything that linked Kuklinski to these cases. 374 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:19,939 For sure. 375 00:27:19,940 --> 00:27:24,660 Given that Kuklinski was pretty experienced as having been a mob hitman, 376 00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:29,060 how to cover his tracks. He was very careful about making sure nobody would 377 00:27:29,060 --> 00:27:30,060 find out what he had done. 378 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,860 They had a lot of disparate crimes. 379 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,900 And because Kuklinski was actively working to eliminate evidence, it was 380 00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:39,920 lacking with proof beyond a reasonable doubt. 381 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,800 They needed to find a way to link Kuklinski to all these different 382 00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:47,820 They needed direct evidence. They needed to hear from Kuklinski himself. 383 00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:50,350 how he murdered these individuals. 384 00:27:57,770 --> 00:28:01,790 I am what you call the person's nightmare. 385 00:28:04,190 --> 00:28:08,850 Because of the way I project myself, people think they can get by. 386 00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:14,670 And then all of a sudden, when they wake up, it's too late. 387 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,520 One of the dynamics we look at is how did Richard get into this business of 388 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,520 being a killer? 389 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,840 What was the template upon which this mass murderer was formed? 390 00:28:30,180 --> 00:28:33,160 Well, basically, Richard was a severely abused child. 391 00:28:35,140 --> 00:28:40,680 Richard Kuklinski was born April 11, 1935, in Jersey City, New Jersey. 392 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440 Kuklinski had three siblings. They were Florian, Roberta, and Joseph. 393 00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:46,780 His family was not well off. 394 00:28:48,940 --> 00:28:52,000 Richard had a very difficult upbringing. 395 00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:59,200 His father, according to Richard, was physically abusive, beat him, beat other 396 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,340 members of the family. 397 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,540 He wrapped a garrison belt around his fist and he hit them in the head and 398 00:29:05,540 --> 00:29:06,319 knocked them out. 399 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:13,020 And his mother was verbally abusive, very strict, and at times would 400 00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:15,160 also beat him with a broom. 401 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,460 There's a lack of love in that family and quite a bit of what I would call 402 00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:23,460 brutality. 403 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,300 So that's really not a very good environment, I would say. 404 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,780 Richard's brother, Florian, died at approximately age eight. 405 00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:39,980 Initially, it was believed that he had fallen down the stairs and sustained 406 00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:41,760 injuries from that fall. 407 00:29:42,770 --> 00:29:48,530 Richard has said that actually what happened was that Florian was beaten to 408 00:29:48,530 --> 00:29:50,070 death by his father. 409 00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:54,110 The impact, I think, stayed with him his whole life. 410 00:29:55,290 --> 00:29:57,410 I asked him, do you have any regrets, Richard? 411 00:29:57,750 --> 00:30:01,150 And he said, yeah, I regret not killing my father. He hated his father. 412 00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:08,630 The question is often raised, is killing genetic, particularly if an individual 413 00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:09,970 comes from a violent home? 414 00:30:10,510 --> 00:30:17,090 If the child is genetically at risk, if that child is raised in a violent home, 415 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:20,270 it's likely the combination of both. 416 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:24,750 And in Richard's case, from what we know, it was likely both. 417 00:30:25,810 --> 00:30:31,090 What's particularly odd in this case is that Richard was not the only killer in 418 00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:32,090 the family. 419 00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:35,510 Richard Kuklinski had a brother by the name of Joseph. 420 00:30:35,770 --> 00:30:37,630 In 1970, he was charged. 421 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,380 in the rape and killing of a 12 -year -old girl. 422 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,820 He had lured her onto the roof of a building where he sexually assaulted 423 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,340 and afterwards he threw her body off the building and killed her. He was 424 00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:53,360 convicted of murder. 425 00:30:55,580 --> 00:31:01,820 When you have violence in the home, it can create the dynamics that can lead to 426 00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:08,440 violent behavior, and in a very small percentage of cases, It can also lead 427 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:15,280 to killing. In this case, clearly that rage could propel someone to kill 428 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,220 or to explode under certain circumstances. 429 00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:30,080 We had acquired a lot of information through various law enforcement sources 430 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,260 which pointed to Richard Kukwinski. 431 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,560 The problem with it was there wasn't enough information to arrest him. 432 00:31:37,060 --> 00:31:42,420 The idea that was suggested was maybe, just maybe, we could have an undercover 433 00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:47,940 pose as another criminal to build evidence that would support a 434 00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:53,460 When the investigation of Richard Kuklinski needed an undercover 435 00:31:53,460 --> 00:31:55,380 went and got Dom Polifrone. 436 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:02,800 If there was a Mount Rushmore for undercover agent, Dom's face would 437 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,980 be carved in the granite. 438 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,120 Dominic Polifrone was a decorated federal agent that has successfully 439 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,520 infiltrated major mob families in New York. 440 00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:15,500 I worked all organized crime, five families in New York before I came over 441 00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,240 New Jersey. I had a lot of experience. I spent 15 years in the streets. 442 00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:21,720 You could talk the talk, walk the walk. 443 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,120 I didn't play a different part. I was myself. 444 00:32:24,380 --> 00:32:27,140 That's who I am, and that's who I'm going to die as, okay? 445 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,360 He had the look. He had the dialect. 446 00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:34,000 He was the person, if anyone, that could get close to Richard Kuklinski. 447 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,040 So I read the information about Kuklinski. They had a huge folder on 448 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,620 he lived, his family, his associates. 449 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,920 And they alleged that he committed five murders. 450 00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:50,360 There was this poison that was involved. 451 00:32:50,580 --> 00:32:57,500 And it cut into your skin there. There's no way an antidote would work 452 00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:58,500 there. 453 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,240 Headquarters called me and says, are you sure you want to do this? 454 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,020 This is a case that is totally, totally like a Twilight Zone case. 455 00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:10,200 So I said, yeah, I want to do it. 456 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,140 I used the name of Dominic Michael Provenzano. 457 00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:21,800 So to make this false persona character real, Michael Dominic 458 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:27,900 Provenzano had fake IDs, fake criminal histories, mugshots on file. 459 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:34,740 a fake apartment, all which were available and accessible and verifiable 460 00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:40,020 solidify his credibility if anybody was trying to look at him from the outside 461 00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:45,720 in.

We simply have no idea. 497 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,500 It's been very difficult for investigators and journalists and 498 00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:18,280 down the actual evidence to support a lot of those claims. 499 00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:27,460 Did you ever let anyone go for whatever reason? Did you ever decide to let 500 00:36:27,460 --> 00:36:28,460 someone go? 501 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,220 Yes. But then I thought better of the idea and shot him anyway. 502 00:36:38,190 --> 00:36:44,590 After 18 months undercover, it was September 2nd, 1986, when the call came 503 00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:46,050 at the store. 504 00:36:46,410 --> 00:36:50,810 And that's when I first met Kuklinski at the Dunkin' Donuts in Patterson, New 505 00:36:50,810 --> 00:36:51,810 Jersey. 506 00:36:52,530 --> 00:36:58,870 If you were going to put this on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most 507 00:36:58,870 --> 00:37:00,850 dangerous, it was an 11. 508 00:37:01,690 --> 00:37:04,910 Dom's going to meet a serial killer. 509 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,680 We didn't know what was going to happen. We don't know if Kuklinski has already 510 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,140 figured out that we're onto him. If Dominic said something wrong, it could 511 00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:17,080 him off. And he had the capability of killing very quickly. 512 00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:23,220 Dominic had a lot of pressure. The entire investigation hinged on whether 513 00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:27,560 could at least entice Kuklinski to participate in something with him. 514 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:35,380 And... Just the added subliminal hidden pressure of knowing that the public's 515 00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:41,920 safety rests in your hands. What Dom did was going to depend on if innocent 516 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,360 civilians lived or died. 517 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,300 He pulls up. 518 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,600 This son of a bitch. 519 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,740 He was like the Jolly Green Giant. 520 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,940 He was a big guy. He was about 6 '4". 521 00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:03,230 maybe 260, 265, and he wore these orange -tinged glasses. 522 00:38:06,810 --> 00:38:12,070 We go into Dunkin' Donuts, and we sit down, and we're just talking 523 00:38:12,610 --> 00:38:16,110 Dom knew what the reputation of Kuklinski was. 524 00:38:16,610 --> 00:38:18,890 Kuklinski believed he knew. 525 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:25,560 what Dom's reputation was. There was no purpose in Dom creating an intimidating 526 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,000 presence for Kuklinski. 527 00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:30,200 He's trying to warm the guy up, not drive him away. 528 00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:36,540 But how do you do that and still maintain your credibility and not be a 529 00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:37,540 for this guy? 530 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:47,180 Richard was trying to likely size Dominic up and to see if he was someone 531 00:38:47,180 --> 00:38:48,180 could be trusted, 532 00:38:52,299 --> 00:38:53,660 He says, you do coke. 533 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,240 I said, no, I don't do coke. 534 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,760 He says, no, no. 535 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,600 What do you get a kilo for? 536 00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:02,980 I said, probably at that time it was about $30 ,000 a kilo. 537 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,200 He says, well, I can get it for $28 ,000. 538 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,100 I said, well, then you should go with your guy. 539 00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:12,480 He goes, you know, he says, I know it's a good price, but I don't know if I can 540 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,480 trust him. 541 00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:16,780 I look at him. I said, you're an idiot. 542 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,020 You don't trust somebody. You don't deal with somebody you don't trust. 543 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:29,960 Dom makes a pretty bold move in challenging Kuklinski. He's calling out 544 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,760 the most dangerous men on the planet. And he's basically saying, you're a 545 00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:35,980 You're crazy. 546 00:39:36,180 --> 00:39:39,380 You're doing narcotics deals with someone you don't trust? 547 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,240 Well, let me tell you something for five seconds. 548 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,320 He looked at me like he was grabbing my soul and say, I'm going to rip your 549 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,118 heart out. 550 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,800 Nobody talks to me that way. And he's looking at me and I'm looking at him. 551 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,420 It was the longest five seconds you can imagine. 552 00:39:55,220 --> 00:39:59,500 He could send fear through somebody's body without saying a word. Just looking 553 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,500 at him. 554 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,720 I said, this is the devil. I'm telling you, I'm sitting down with the devil. 555 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,920 Points his finger and he goes, you're right. 556 00:40:13,230 --> 00:40:15,270 I said, you're damn right I'm right. 557 00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:17,230 You don't deal with people you don't trust. 558 00:40:18,210 --> 00:40:20,490 Then he goes, I hear you have a lot of connections. 559 00:40:20,690 --> 00:40:21,690 I said, yeah. 560 00:40:21,710 --> 00:40:24,130 He said, can you get pure cyanide? 561 00:40:25,070 --> 00:40:26,290 I could have fell off the chair. 562 00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:31,410 There is a sense of urgency. 563 00:40:32,050 --> 00:40:34,250 I just have a few problems I want to dispose of. 564 00:40:34,570 --> 00:40:36,310 I have some rats I want to get rid of. 565 00:40:37,070 --> 00:40:38,990 The scale of danger is off the charts. 566 00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:41,290 It was like the ultimate chess game. 567 00:40:41,930 --> 00:40:45,530 You've got to make a move and hope it's not the wrong move during this 568 00:40:45,530 --> 00:40:46,530 investigation. 569 00:40:48,830 --> 00:40:49,390 When 570 00:40:49,390 --> 00:40:57,110 they 571 00:40:57,110 --> 00:41:02,550 heard their husband and father's voice explaining how to kill people and how 572 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:06,010 cold and calculated he was, their whole demeanor changed. 573 00:41:06,490 --> 00:41:10,870 Through all of that time, all of these murders, Barbara, you didn't know that 574 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:11,870 anything was up. 575 00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,340 You lived with this man for 25 years, you knew nothing. 576 00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:21,860 The multi -agency task force launched to make a case against Richard Kuklinski 577 00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:24,140 was dubbed Operation Iceman. 578 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,800 The goal was to get Kuklinski comfortable enough with an undercover 579 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,500 that he would talk about his crimes. 580 00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:36,480 The agent, Dominic Polifrone, would be wearing a wire, a dangerous cat and 581 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,540 game that could prove fatal in part two of The Iceman. 582 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,100 I'm Donnie Wahlberg. 583 00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:43,500 Thanks for watching. 584 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:44,760 Good night. 585 00:41:44,810 --> 00:41:49,360 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles Synchronizer 1.0.0.0 51798
