1
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,410
[narrator] Look at yourself.

2
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:15,807
Just another cog in the machine.

3
00:00:17,058 --> 00:00:19,352
[man] A working stiff is stuck in a life.

4
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:21,771
They play by the rules,

5
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:23,606
and they get fucked.

6
00:00:23,607 --> 00:00:27,234
{\an8}[narrator] You've tried doing things
the right way,

7
00:00:27,235 --> 00:00:29,320
but the deck is stacked against you.

8
00:00:31,322 --> 00:00:33,783
I can show you how to get the money,

9
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:37,454
power, and respect
you've been denied for too long.

10
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:40,915
It's inside this playbook.

11
00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:45,253
A series of tactics
that the world's most powerful mob bosses

12
00:00:45,336 --> 00:00:48,423
use to become masters
of their own destiny.

13
00:00:48,542 --> 00:00:50,591
One hit...

14
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:51,550
[gunshot]

15
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:52,635
...at a time.

16
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:54,888
[theme music playing]

17
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:13,073
{\an8}Sure, this life isn't for everybody.

18
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:18,745
But follow their examples,
and you can learn how to use these tools

19
00:01:18,828 --> 00:01:20,622
to make a killing.

20
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:22,791
[gunshot]

21
00:01:28,296 --> 00:01:29,923
[narrator] When I say mob boss,

22
00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:31,925
what comes to mind?

23
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,928
Ah, so literal.

24
00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:40,100
A mob boss is someone
who knows how to beat the system.

25
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:43,478
{\an8}A mob boss is basically
the CEO of an organization.

26
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:45,854
{\an8}And some of these organizations
are very big,

27
00:01:45,855 --> 00:01:48,325
{\an8}and some of them make
an awful lot of money.

28
00:01:48,525 --> 00:01:50,527
[narrator] And when problems arise...

29
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:53,363
We have different ways
of dealing with them.

30
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:55,573
{\an8}We do it with fucking fear.

31
00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:56,917
{\an8}We're ferocious!

32
00:01:56,918 --> 00:01:59,409
[narrator] The gangland giants

33
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:02,746
who run the two-trillion-dollar-a-year
organized crime industry

34
00:02:02,747 --> 00:02:04,332
know the value of structure,

35
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:09,212
public relations,
and a diversified portfolio.

36
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:16,344
Before you can flex your muscle as a boss,

37
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:20,974
you need to follow the playbook's guide
to climbing the corporate ladder.

38
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:25,395
And few elevated themselves
as high or as quickly

39
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,939
as the barber's son from Brooklyn

40
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:31,526
who would grow up
to become the original gangster.

41
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:34,696
[reporter] Here he comes!
The big boy himself!

42
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,365
{\an8}[narrator] Al Capone.

43
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:42,078
By the time he turned 30,

44
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:45,540
Al Capone was king
of the Chicago underworld,

45
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:50,712
running a vast criminal empire
that raked in over $100 million.

46
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:56,634
While leaving a trail of bodies
across the Windy City.

47
00:02:58,428 --> 00:03:00,013
But it's how he got started

48
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:02,746
that will be your first lesson
in self-improvement.

49
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:07,854
{\an8}You want the success
that comes with being a boss. You do!

50
00:03:07,937 --> 00:03:10,857
[narrator] Ready to begin launching
your own empire?

51
00:03:12,873 --> 00:03:19,615
{\an8}To be a successful mob boss,
first of all, you have to be driven.

52
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,908
{\an8}You have to be ambitious.

53
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:24,495
You have to be smart
and know how to motivate

54
00:03:24,579 --> 00:03:27,169
and, at times, frighten people
to keep them in line.

55
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:31,586
[narrator] As with any pursuit,
developing this skill set

56
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:33,504
takes studious practice

57
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:35,465
and a goal-oriented approach.

58
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:40,136
Guys who gravitated toward the mob
were looking for a way to succeed.

59
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,679
They didn't have education.

60
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,431
They weren't able to go to college,
and so they thought,

61
00:03:44,432 --> 00:03:46,768
"I can rob somebody.
I can beat somebody up."

62
00:03:46,851 --> 00:03:48,228
Who's gonna value that?

63
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:49,979
Organized crime does.

64
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,606
[narrator] And as you'll see,

65
00:03:51,689 --> 00:03:55,944
most criminal kingpins
unlock their potential at an early age.

66
00:03:55,945 --> 00:04:02,866
{\an8}Future New York City mob boss
John Gotti was arrested five times

67
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,994
{\an8}before his 21st birthday.

68
00:04:05,703 --> 00:04:08,915
And as a kid, he nearly lost his toes
when they were crushed

69
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:11,668
under a cement mixer
he was trying to steal.

70
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:14,712
It's how he developed his trademark strut.

71
00:04:15,505 --> 00:04:19,217
Sicilian mob boss Salvatore Riina
assisted in his first murder

72
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,219
at just 18 years old,

73
00:04:21,302 --> 00:04:25,452
helping to kill a trade union official
who had publicly embarrassed Riina's boss.

74
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:27,892
And as a teen,

75
00:04:27,976 --> 00:04:33,398
Medellín drug cartel founder Pablo Escobar
made his schoolteacher mom proud,

76
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:38,194
selling fake diplomas before graduating
to falsifying report cards.

77
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:47,328
Young Al Capone would also prove to be
a gifted student of the criminal arts.

78
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:55,169
[man 2] Capone's a child of immigrants.

79
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:59,262
{\an8}His father came to the country first.
He was a barber in Brooklyn.

80
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:01,884
They were pasta makers back in Italy.

81
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:06,681
So Capone wasn't born into this.
It was America that created the mobster.

82
00:05:06,764 --> 00:05:10,310
[man 3] He got pretty good grades
in school while he went there.

83
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:12,253
{\an8}But he left in the sixth grade,

84
00:05:12,254 --> 00:05:14,730
{\an8}possibly because of an altercation
with the teacher.

85
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:17,774
{\an8}Possibly, he just got bored
and wanted to go make money.

86
00:05:17,775 --> 00:05:18,775
[narrator] Before long,

87
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:23,114
Al would discover the ideal outlet
for his entrepreneurial spirit.

88
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:26,534
One year, for his birthday,

89
00:05:26,617 --> 00:05:30,288
Capone's father gives him the gift
every kid dreams of.

90
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,373
A shoeshine kit.

91
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:39,547
As young Al waits for customers,

92
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:43,843
he spots another, more profitable
moneymaking venture in action

93
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:47,555
at the hands of local mobster
Don Battista Balsamo.

94
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,485
Capone is impressed

95
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:02,195
and inspired.

96
00:06:02,278 --> 00:06:04,280
[mischievous music plays]

97
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:08,116
The next day,
he recruits two of his cousins

98
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:09,952
to give his own business a leg up

99
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,164
by roughing up his competition.

100
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:18,424
Little Capone tells the boy
that if he wants to avoid further trouble,

101
00:06:19,629 --> 00:06:21,506
he's going to have to pay up.

102
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:26,969
"Will this be every week?" the kid asks.

103
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:29,680
"Of course not," says Capone,

104
00:06:30,431 --> 00:06:31,808
"It's gonna be every day."

105
00:06:31,809 --> 00:06:37,104
You can see the street smarts
in the protection racket, for sure.

106
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:42,193
This shows us that he was resourceful,
that he had ambition, that he had ideas,

107
00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:44,237
and he had the kind of business sense

108
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,906
that would work perfectly
for being a mobster.

109
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:51,603
[narrator] Of course, it's one thing
to show you have the character to succeed,

110
00:06:51,702 --> 00:06:54,831
but you'll never make it
all the way to mob boss

111
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:56,354
without the right direction.

112
00:06:57,917 --> 00:07:00,211
Let the playbook show you the way.

113
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:02,296
[upbeat music plays]

114
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:08,594
No matter how smart
or tough you think you are,

115
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:14,392
nobody gets ahead
in the mob game entirely on their own.

116
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,936
You're going to need a mentor.

117
00:07:18,062 --> 00:07:22,108
It's important to have somebody
who believes in you and wants to teach you

118
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:24,359
because this is a dangerous world
you're getting into.

119
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,112
If you line up on the wrong side,
get in bed with the wrong person,

120
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:28,163
you won't last long.

121
00:07:28,164 --> 00:07:30,615
[narrator] But finding
the appropriate tutor

122
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,034
is going to take some work.

123
00:07:32,035 --> 00:07:35,537
You can't just go up to somebody
and say, "Hey, I'd like to be like you."

124
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:38,123
You know, somebody has to say,
"You have what it takes,"

125
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:41,586
{\an8}and then, you know,
you do whatever necessary work

126
00:07:41,669 --> 00:07:44,319
{\an8}to prove yourself,
and that's how it happens.

127
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,383
[narrator] Young Al Capone showed
his dedication to the playbook

128
00:07:48,384 --> 00:07:52,013
by seeking out
not one underworld mentor, but two.

129
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:00,396
{\an8}John Torrio is regarded
as an underworld genius.

130
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,065
{\an8}Criminal, of course, did illegal things,

131
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:08,154
but in his chosen profession, he's viewed
as a very, very savvy individual.

132
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,739
[Jonathan] And every kid
on the streets of Brooklyn

133
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:13,158
in Capone's neighborhood
knew who Johnny Torrio was.

134
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,620
So when Capone got to meet Johnny Torrio,
and Johnny Torrio said to him,

135
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,915
"If you ever need a job, come see me."

136
00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:20,040
That was big.

137
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:22,542
Eventually, Capone started
running errands for him,

138
00:08:22,543 --> 00:08:24,879
like delivering guns in paper bags,

139
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:28,007
picking up the money
from the night at the local brothels.

140
00:08:28,090 --> 00:08:31,719
Torrio became
almost a father figure to Al Capone.

141
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:36,516
[narrator] From Torrio,
young Capone learned these rules.

142
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:39,519
Dress for success.

143
00:08:40,728 --> 00:08:42,146
Keep your mouth shut.

144
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:45,107
And when it comes to staying on top,

145
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:48,819
remember, money is power.

146
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:52,614
These young guys in the mob,
they get pretty chesty.

147
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:54,325
They think they know everything.

148
00:08:54,408 --> 00:08:56,818
Capone was humble
when it came to Johnny Torrio.

149
00:08:58,287 --> 00:09:00,456
[narrator] As for mentor number two,

150
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:03,251
Capone also took lessons from this guy.

151
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:06,546
{\an8}Brooklyn's top racketeer, Frankie Yale.

152
00:09:08,005 --> 00:09:10,007
Frankie Yale was a very violent man.

153
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:13,302
[gun shots]

154
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:16,263
[Jonathan] This was one
of the most dangerous men in New York.

155
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:18,057
And for Capone not to be scared,

156
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:22,895
for Capone to want to work for this guy
tells you something about his character.

157
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:29,318
[narrator] Frankie Yale taught Capone
an alternate set of skills.

158
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,321
Always show you mean business.

159
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:35,825
Never get outgunned.

160
00:09:37,451 --> 00:09:40,454
And make sure
your reputation precedes you.

161
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,960
And when Capone started
working at Frankie Yale's bar,

162
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:48,462
the Harvard Inn on Coney Island,

163
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:51,966
he got that chance
to prove himself as a worthy pupil.

164
00:09:57,847 --> 00:10:01,350
Nineteen-year-old Al Capone
is paying his dues as a busboy.

165
00:10:03,394 --> 00:10:06,063
When one night,
a young woman catches his eye.

166
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:08,190
[mischievous music plays]

167
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:09,942
He tries to win her over.

168
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,112
Then he tries again.

169
00:10:18,826 --> 00:10:22,913
When his advances fail,
he goes for a more direct approach.

170
00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:25,041

was to make alcohol illegal.

And when the cops came calling,
they convinced them to look the other way.

In the beginning,

He's very happy with his restaurant,

00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:38,904
After Torrio recovers,

339
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:42,032
he tells Capone that he's going back
to New York to retire,

340
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:47,120
making Capone, at just 26 years old,

341
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:49,706
the new boss of the Chicago underworld.

342
00:20:52,167 --> 00:20:57,965
Six years after landing in the Windy City,
Al Capone becomes Chicago's top boss,

343
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:01,677
but his honeymoon won't last long.

344
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:06,723
By following the playbook's guide
to landing your dream job,

345
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:09,559
you've unlocked your criminal talent,

346
00:21:09,643 --> 00:21:11,395
absorbed the right lessons,

347
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:13,522
proved your earning potential,

348
00:21:13,605 --> 00:21:16,566
and positioned yourself for success.

349
00:21:17,150 --> 00:21:18,902
But now that you've got the job,

350
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:21,947
jealous rivals will be out for blood.

351
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:26,118
If you want to survive the coming storm,

352
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:30,122
the playbook's next lesson
will make all the difference.

353
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:38,672
You've made your way
to the top of the food chain,

354
00:21:39,256 --> 00:21:43,468
but it's only a matter of time
until the vultures start circling.

355
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:46,679
{\an8}On the street, everybody wants
to take from you what you have,

356
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,720
{\an8}and you always got to protect that.

357
00:21:49,057 --> 00:21:50,976
And violence is the best way to do it.

358
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:57,164
[narrator] These other rookie mob bosses
would certainly agree.

359
00:21:57,165 --> 00:21:58,858
Just two months

360
00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:02,279
into Nicodemo Scarfo's reign
over the Philadelphia Mafia,

361
00:22:02,362 --> 00:22:05,657
he set his sights
on rivals in the city's Greek Mob,

362
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:08,743
allegedly having boss Chelsais Bouras
and his girlfriend

363
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,034
killed in a popular
south Philly restaurant

364
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,790
so he could take over
the Greeks' drug rackets.

365
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,461
When Yakuza lieutenant Hiroshi Yamamoto

366
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:21,923
split from Japan's largest
criminal organization, the Yamaguchi-gumi,

367
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,258
to form his own group,

368
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:28,013
his first boss move was
to assassinate rival, Masahisa Takenaka,

369
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:31,141
who had edged him out
for the role of Godfather.

370
00:22:31,975 --> 00:22:34,603
And while little Vic Orena
was in his first year

371
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:36,938
as acting boss
of the Colombo crime family,

372
00:22:37,439 --> 00:22:42,194
he secured the organization's finances
by ordering the murder of Thomas Ocera,

373
00:22:42,277 --> 00:22:46,656
who was accused of skimming profits
from a family-owned sanitation company.

{\an8}[narrator] With the Beer Wars raging...

376
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:57,459
[reporter] More than five hundred
Chicago gangsters

377
00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,669
are slain by their own kind.

his bootlegging operation,

380
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:09,638
Capone's first year as boss
was a constant battle for survival.

381
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:13,516
{\an8}Enough guys smell weakness,
they're gonna take you out, kill you,

382

[narrator] When all you've worked for
is under threat,

385
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:21,733
you have to send a message.

[narrator] It's April 27th, 1926.

389
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:33,662
Rival bootleggers Myles and Bill O'Donnell

390
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:36,248
boldly decide to enjoy a night of drinking

391
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:37,999
on Capone's turf.

392
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:41,086
They're soon joined by more friends.

393
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:45,757
For weeks, the O'Donnells
had been trying to tank Capone's sales

394
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:48,468
by disparaging the quality of his spirits.

395
00:23:48,552 --> 00:23:50,554
[murmuring]

396
00:23:50,555 --> 00:23:55,099
[narrator] When Capone learns
they're doing this in his own backyard,

397
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,395
he decides not to take
this challenge lying down.

398
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:02,983
He orders his men to race to the bar,

399
00:24:03,525 --> 00:24:06,111
and Capone declares the party's over.

400
00:24:08,572 --> 00:24:10,157
[guns firing]

401
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,201
The brothers are hit,
but manage to escape.

402
00:24:14,244 --> 00:24:16,538
One of their friends isn't so lucky.

403
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,291
It's a bad break for Capone as well,

404
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:22,752
because he's just killed
Assistant State's Attorney,

405
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:24,045
William McSwiggin.

406
00:24:24,921 --> 00:24:26,882
Capone almost certainly had no idea

407
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:30,035
that Bill McSwiggin was going out
that night with those guys.

408
00:24:30,036 --> 00:24:33,679
[Adam] When they realized
the state's attorney had been murdered,

409
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,307
everybody kind of panicked.

410
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:38,768
This was not
just another gangster getting killed.

411
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:42,939
[narrator] Capone's attempt
to secure his position has backfired

412
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:49,321
as the entire Chicago police force
is mobilized to bring the new boss down.

413
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:52,491
The cops turn up the heat

414
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:55,243
and smoke out every joint in town.

415
00:24:55,785 --> 00:24:57,787
So Capone goes underground.

416
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:01,541
From afar, Capone follows his own manhunt

417
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:05,587
and watches as his legend grows.

418
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:11,218
Finally, Capone decides
it's time to step out of the shadows

419
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:12,511
and make a stand.

420
00:25:12,594 --> 00:25:14,304
He calls a press conference.

421
00:25:14,387 --> 00:25:16,973
He comes back to Chicago
on the courthouse steps

422
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:21,436
and announces that Billy McSwiggin,
this state prosecutor, was one of my guys.

423
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,771
He was on my payroll.

424
00:25:22,772 --> 00:25:25,397
[Adam] He said,
"Why would I have killed McSwiggin?"

425
00:25:25,398 --> 00:25:28,400
"I liked McSwiggin. I paid him plenty,
and I got what I paid for."

426
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:31,363
"And if cops want
to talk to me about it, here I am."

427
00:25:31,364 --> 00:25:32,947
"Reporters have any questions?"

428
00:25:32,948 --> 00:25:36,159
"I'm running the outfit,
and I'm happy to talk to you about it."

429
00:25:36,743 --> 00:25:41,248
[narrator] Capone openly declares
himself the mob king of Chicago.

430
00:25:42,457 --> 00:25:43,792
And in an instant,

431
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:45,835
Capone's legend is forged.

432
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:51,216
That's the moment that launches
Capone into the national spotlight.

433
00:25:51,713 --> 00:25:56,637
[narrator] In the spotlight
is where he'll remain

434
00:25:56,638 --> 00:26:00,600
for five bloody and glorious years

435
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,398
until he gets busted for the one thing
the government never tolerates...

436
00:26:07,148 --> 00:26:08,316
tax evasion.

437
00:26:08,317 --> 00:26:13,237
{\an8}Still, Al Capone's mastery
of this chapter of the playbook

438

brought him up
from the streets to the height of power.

439
00:26:18,034 --> 00:26:22,914
You might have to amass your fortune
without Al Capone's impeccable timing.

440
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:27,085
And for that, you'll need
an ironclad business plan.

441

and helps you build an empire.
