00:00:00,488 --> 00:00:04,088
Previously on The Making
of the Mob New York...

2
00:00:04,154 --> 00:00:05,721
At the beginning of the century,

3
00:00:05,788 --> 00:00:07,388
hundreds of thousands of immigrants

4
00:00:07,454 --> 00:00:09,754
They arrived in New York City.

5
00:00:10,713 --> 00:00:13,446
And like ruthless gangs
who establish their territory,

6
00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:16,380
A new class of gangsters emerges.

7
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:20,780
Charles Luciano, Meyer Lansky,

8
00:00:20,846 --> 00:00:25,046
Bugsy Siegel, Frank
Costello and Vito Genovese

9
00:00:25,113 --> 00:00:27,946
rise in rank
the underworld of New York,

10
00:00:28,013 --> 00:00:30,113
working for the ruthless
mafia boss,

11
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:32,013
Joe Masseria.

12
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,780
The group of street thugs
that scared people

13
00:00:38,846 --> 00:00:41,813
organizes into a larger group of thugs

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,146
who extorts people,

15
00:00:43,213 --> 00:00:46,713
They bet, they even sell drugs.

16
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:52,380
After the heroin deal
de Masseria takes Luciano to prison,

17
00:00:52,446 --> 00:00:55,180
join forces with a
Jewish criminal mind,

18
00:00:55,246 --> 00:00:57,113
Arnold Rothstein.

19
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:00,546
There is certainty that
no one knows who you are.

20
00:01:01,613 --> 00:01:03,380
And he decides that it is time for change.

21
00:01:09,413 --> 00:01:11,380
But to get to the top,

22
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:14,280
Luciano and his gang will have to 
make a bold move...

23
00:01:14,346 --> 00:01:17,280
If I don't kill him, we're all dead.

24
00:01:17,346 --> 00:01:20,246
and eliminate the man who
stands in his way.

25
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:22,746
Joe Masseria.

26
00:01:22,813 --> 00:01:26,046
You have very balls
big ones coming like this.

27
00:01:32,446 --> 00:01:37,313
If you do this... There is no turning back.

28
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,080
I know.

-SPREAD THE WORD-

30
00:02:30,846 --> 00:02:32,913
In less than two decades,

31
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:35,713
Charles Luciano, 30, and his band

32
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:38,646
They have gone from being poor immigrants

33
00:02:38,713 --> 00:02:41,246
to successful criminals in New York,

34
00:02:41,313 --> 00:02:43,580
ready to eliminate the gangster
most powerful in New York,

35
00:02:44,646 --> 00:02:47,313
Joe Masseria.

36
00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:49,780
Thanks to the guidelines of
your trusted advisor,

37
00:02:49,846 --> 00:02:56,113
the famous Jewish gangster,
Arnold Rothstein.

38
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:58,913
Arnold Rothstein was
Lucky Luciano's mentor.

39
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:00,646
I was under his protection.

40
00:03:00,713 --> 00:03:03,813
I taught them how to run this business.

41
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,180
There was an alliance

42
00:03:07,246 --> 00:03:09,646
and that remained in his heart.

43
00:03:09,713 --> 00:03:11,546
For Luciano,

44
00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:13,946
Rothstein is a father figure,

45
00:03:14,013 --> 00:03:16,613
and everything he aspires to be.

46
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,213
Who is accountable?

47
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,246
To that Italian.

48
00:03:20,313 --> 00:03:22,113
Rothstein is the archetype
of sophistication

49
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:24,680
and self control...

50
00:03:27,146 --> 00:03:29,880
But every man has a weakness.

51
00:03:29,946 --> 00:03:33,880
And for Rothstein they are the
high level bets.

52
00:03:36,346 --> 00:03:37,546
Without a doubt,

53
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:40,413
the Mafia will devour your
personality and your soul.

54
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
You have this weight that
you always carry with you.

55
00:03:43,146 --> 00:03:45,646
Some types remove it with alcohol.

56
00:03:45,713 --> 00:03:47,680
Others eliminate it with
sex. And others with drugs.

57
00:03:47,746 --> 00:03:50,780
But in the long run, it ends up affecting you.

58
00:03:50,846 --> 00:03:52,146
Throughout his life,

59
00:03:52,213 --> 00:03:56,046
Rothstein has been a compulsive gambler,

60
00:03:56,113 --> 00:03:57,680
from betting on horses,

61
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,113
until he is the man
who thinks he loves

62
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:03,113
the 1919 world series.

63
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:07,246
But Rothstein's addiction
It finally took its toll on him.

64
00:04:17,846 --> 00:04:20,713
Is it very serious, Arnold? What has happened?

65
00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:23,246
No problem. No...

66
00:04:23,313 --> 00:04:26,646
No problem.

67
00:04:26,713 --> 00:04:28,813
In September 1928,

68
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,080
Arnold Rothstein starts
to abandon luck.

69
00:04:34,146 --> 00:04:36,580
He's been losing with the horses.

70
00:04:36,646 --> 00:04:39,113
He's been losing at cards.

71
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:42,446
Furthermore, their marriage
has deteriorated a lot.

72
00:04:42,513 --> 00:04:43,413
When are you going to leave him?

73
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,180
When will you have enough money?

74
00:04:50,413 --> 00:04:52,180
I raise your 500.

75
00:04:56,246 --> 00:04:58,846
He is invited to an important game.

76
00:04:58,913 --> 00:05:01,113
There are the nicest guys
important of the city.

77
00:05:06,713 --> 00:05:09,413
Rothstein goes on and on and on,

78
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,580
for three days,
constantly losing.

79
00:05:26,713 --> 00:05:28,846
Full house of jacks nines.

80
00:05:33,113 --> 00:05:35,613
He makes a couple of bets at the end and says,

81
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,180
"okay, this is rigged
and I'm not going to pay."

82
00:06:13,646 --> 00:06:18,313
Yes.

83
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:20,680
Okay.

84
00:06:34,513 --> 00:06:36,613
What?

85
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,413
Rothstein is dead.

86
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:00,313
The news about the first murder
of a mafia boss in New York

87
00:07:00,380 --> 00:07:04,246
makes headlines
from all over the country.

88
00:07:04,313 --> 00:07:06,880
On November 4, 1928,

89
00:07:06,946 --> 00:07:12,746
Arnold Rothstein was
shot dead in the street.

90
00:07:12,813 --> 00:07:15,480
And dozens of gangsters
important people arrive in New York

91
00:07:15,546 --> 00:07:20,180
to attend the funeral
Rothstein Orthodox Jew.

92
00:07:20,246 --> 00:07:22,380
Arnold Rothstein taught
to very diverse people.

93
00:07:22,446 --> 00:07:25,713
He was like a kind of mentor to
thieves on equal terms.

94
00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:27,146
He didn't care to help
to Italian gangsters

95
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:29,680
or Irish or Jews.

96
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
So, I had that aura
of gratitude around you

97
00:07:32,146 --> 00:07:34,013
which made him a very important guy.

98
00:07:37,813 --> 00:07:39,213
For Luciano,

99
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,046
the murder of Arnold Rothstein
It was a devastating blow.

100
00:07:44,113 --> 00:07:47,213
With his trusted advisor dead...

101
00:07:48,613 --> 00:07:54,246
He decides to postpone his plans
to liquidate Joe Masseria.

102
00:07:54,313 --> 00:07:57,913
But while Luciano
Question your next move,

103
00:07:57,980 --> 00:08:02,680
a is brewing
even bigger problem.

104
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,446
The Federal Government begins to fight
against gang activities

105
00:08:05,513 --> 00:08:07,113
all over the country

106
00:08:07,180 --> 00:08:09,146
and, for the first time in years,

107
00:08:09,213 --> 00:08:13,046
the gangsters of the city of
New York is in danger.

108
00:08:13,113 --> 00:08:15,113
In the spring of 1929,

109
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:17,680
a group of special forces
Government raids bars

110
00:08:17,746 --> 00:08:21,313
clandestine and in the headquarters
of the mafia throughout New York.

111
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:24,813
It is part of an effort to
take down the gangsters...

112
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,546
Caused by actions
of a famous gangster

113
00:08:29,613 --> 00:08:34,413
more than 1,200 kilometers from
distance named Al Capone.

114
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,713
Al Capone is a Brooklyn gangster

115
00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:38,813
who fled to Chicago

116
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,580
and Chicago was a city
much harder than New York.

117
00:08:48,013 --> 00:08:51,213
And he developed very
good in that environment.

118
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,013
But, I didn't have the calming influence

119
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,146
of a Meyer Lansky, who
I could tell Luciano,

120
00:08:58,213 --> 00:09:00,513
"this is stupid."

121
00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:02,680
I would have done things
a much more public way.

122
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,746
Much more versus
the forces of law.

123
00:09:06,813 --> 00:09:09,946
But on February 14, 1929,

124
00:09:10,013 --> 00:09:11,813
Capone goes too far,

125
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,946
ordering the brutal execution of
some rival gangsters in Chicago.

126
00:09:23,913 --> 00:09:26,513
More than 150 shots were fired,

127
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:29,146
in which it has become known
like one of the bloodiest days

128
00:09:29,213 --> 00:09:31,513
In the history of the Mafia,

129
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:34,680
the Valentine's Day massacre.

130
00:09:34,746 --> 00:09:38,180
The Saint's Day Massacre
Valentin is so incredible,

131
00:09:38,246 --> 00:09:40,146
that attracts attention.

132
00:09:40,213 --> 00:09:42,380
There is more discontent in the public

133
00:09:42,446 --> 00:09:45,680
when these kinds of things continue to happen.

134
00:09:45,746 --> 00:09:48,780
The Mafia was trying to fly under the radar.

135
00:09:48,846 --> 00:09:51,580
And when they had people's attention,

136
00:09:51,646 --> 00:09:53,880
It could be very bad for them.

137
00:10:02,546 --> 00:10:04,813
With the Feds doing
arrests throughout the country,

138
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,380
the boss of the Mafia
New York, Joe Masseria,

139
00:10:07,446 --> 00:10:12,113
you have to act quickly to alleviate
the pressure on their businesses.

140
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:14,946
You know you need to have
Capone under control.

141
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,913
It's a shame about your friend.

142
00:10:20,980 --> 00:10:24,446
I picked a bad time
to be careless.

143
00:10:24,513 --> 00:10:26,913
Knowing that Al Capone
and Luciano were part

144
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:30,346
from the same bands from New
York when they were teenagers,

145
00:10:30,413 --> 00:10:33,313
Masseria is convinced
that Luciano is the only one

146
00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:37,880
in your organization that can
get close enough to Capone.

147
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,013
Now Luciano must do something

148
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,046
that no one has been able to do before...

149
00:10:51,113 --> 00:10:54,113
Control Capone.

150
00:11:07,187 --> 00:11:09,821
With the Feds chasing
Mafia activities

151
00:11:09,887 --> 00:11:13,354
following the massacre
of Valentine's Day,

152
00:11:13,421 --> 00:11:15,521
Joe Masseria orders Charles Luciano

153
00:11:15,587 --> 00:11:19,454
control the gangster
most violent in the country,

154
00:11:19,521 --> 00:11:21,587
Al Capone.

155
00:11:27,021 --> 00:11:28,754
In May 1929,

156
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:31,454
Luciano organizes a meeting
Top secret Mafia

157
00:11:31,521 --> 00:11:34,721
at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlantic City...

158
00:11:34,787 --> 00:11:36,321
Property of the head of
the New Jersey Mafia,

159
00:11:37,387 --> 00:11:41,187
Enoch "Nucky" Johnson.

160
00:11:41,254 --> 00:11:43,587
Promising gangsters
Jews, Irish and Italians

161
00:11:43,654 --> 00:11:46,287
from all over the country they are invited,

162
00:11:46,354 --> 00:11:49,487
Capone included.

163
00:11:49,554 --> 00:11:52,787
Okay...let's get started.

164
00:11:52,854 --> 00:11:54,387
Sit down.

165
00:12:00,954 --> 00:12:02,321
In my opinion,

166
00:12:02,387 --> 00:12:05,654
Al has managed to make us
impossible to run our businesses.

167
00:12:05,721 --> 00:12:09,521
Thanks to you, my bets have gone down.

168
00:12:09,587 --> 00:12:12,754
My business has gone down.

169
00:12:12,821 --> 00:12:16,154
"They have raided everyone and
each of my clubs, twice!

170
00:12:19,287 --> 00:12:23,921
You're a popular guy.

171
00:12:23,987 --> 00:12:25,421
I think I speak for everyone,

172
00:12:25,487 --> 00:12:30,454
when I say, that you are not.

173
00:12:30,521 --> 00:12:34,554
We all know what has to happen.

174
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:37,187
Al has to turn himself in.

175
00:12:44,021 --> 00:12:47,854
I'm not going to be the scapegoat.

176
00:12:47,921 --> 00:12:49,787
Even if Christ Almighty came down,

177
00:12:49,854 --> 00:12:50,321
will walk on the waters

178
00:12:50,321 --> 00:12:52,654
and asked me to surrender,

179
00:12:52,721 --> 00:12:57,121
I would keep saying "no."

180
00:12:57,187 --> 00:13:00,021
Gentlemen, excuse us.
Let's go for a walk.

181
00:13:02,454 --> 00:13:05,154
Lucky Luciano had different ways

182
00:13:05,221 --> 00:13:07,021
to win over people.

183
00:13:07,087 --> 00:13:08,721
It could be through fear.

184
00:13:08,787 --> 00:13:11,187
It could be through good
commercial techniques.

185
00:13:11,254 --> 00:13:13,821
It could be through his will
of collaboration with other people.

186
00:13:13,887 --> 00:13:15,021
It's a threat.

187
00:13:15,087 --> 00:13:17,254
Has the necessary strength

188
00:13:17,321 --> 00:13:19,787
and is willing to use it.

189
00:13:29,887 --> 00:13:33,087
The law is not going to forget this.

190
00:13:33,154 --> 00:13:37,287
- I don't mind.
- Well it should.

191
00:13:37,354 --> 00:13:40,054
It is for the greater good.

192
00:13:40,121 --> 00:13:42,387
I have to take care of myself.

193
00:13:42,454 --> 00:13:45,321
Just like me.

194
00:13:45,321 --> 00:13:47,954
Look, I could help you, Al,

195
00:13:48,021 --> 00:13:50,554
but if you don't listen to me,
I can't protect you.

196
00:13:54,121 --> 00:13:57,154
We have friends in the office
of the prosecutor, in Philadelphia.

197
00:13:57,221 --> 00:13:59,087
You plead guilty to a lesser charge.

198
00:13:59,154 --> 00:14:00,554
Will take care of your business in Chicago

199
00:14:00,621 --> 00:14:03,621
and when you come out, they will be waiting for you.

200
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:16,187
In a bold masterstroke.

201
00:14:16,254 --> 00:14:20,021
Luciano convinces Capone
to take the blame.

202
00:14:20,087 --> 00:14:22,221
And with Mafia contacts,

203
00:14:22,287 --> 00:14:24,921
Capone is sentenced to
only one year in prison.

204
00:14:30,254 --> 00:14:32,587
Following in the footsteps of Arnold Rothstein,

205
00:14:32,654 --> 00:14:35,821
Luciano has shown
be a skillful leader

206
00:14:35,887 --> 00:14:39,254
and an effective negotiator.

207
00:14:39,321 --> 00:14:41,587
Respect for a man like Lucky

208
00:14:41,654 --> 00:14:44,554
it meant that everything
the world listened to him.

209
00:14:44,621 --> 00:14:46,687
As if he were a theater director.

210
00:14:46,754 --> 00:14:48,954
They listened to him. They trusted him.

211
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:52,921
I had control.

212
00:14:52,987 --> 00:14:55,154
Luciano earned a level
superior of respect

213
00:14:55,221 --> 00:14:58,154
among the gangsters of the whole country,

214
00:14:58,221 --> 00:14:59,821
but his criminal skills

215
00:14:59,887 --> 00:15:02,754
are about to face each other
to the definitive test.

216
00:15:08,087 --> 00:15:11,654
On October 28, 1929,

217
00:15:11,721 --> 00:15:14,254
the stock market sinks,

218
00:15:14,321 --> 00:15:19,087
losing billions
of dollars in just one day.

219
00:15:19,154 --> 00:15:20,754
It is the worst economic disaster

220
00:15:20,821 --> 00:15:23,654
that the country has never suffered.

221
00:15:23,721 --> 00:15:25,787
9,000 banks fail

222
00:15:25,854 --> 00:15:28,787
and one in four Americans
he is left without a job.

223
00:15:32,787 --> 00:15:34,554
But while the majority of
people perceive the great depression

224
00:15:34,621 --> 00:15:37,621
like a period of despair,

225
00:15:37,687 --> 00:15:42,521
Luciano sees it as
a new opportunity.

226
00:15:42,587 --> 00:15:44,787
Along with Meyer Lansky,

227
00:15:44,854 --> 00:15:47,187
creates a new fraud,

228
00:15:47,254 --> 00:15:52,321
designed to take advantage
of the economic depression.

229
00:15:52,387 --> 00:15:55,054
Using the millions that have
earned by smuggling alcohol,

230
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:56,854
begin making loans to businesses

231
00:15:56,921 --> 00:15:59,421
on the verge of bankruptcy,

232
00:15:59,487 --> 00:16:01,854
with very high interest rates.

233
00:16:01,921 --> 00:16:03,854
Like Prohibition
It was good for the Mafia,

234
00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:06,654
The depression was good for the Mafia.

235
00:16:06,721 --> 00:16:08,954
The banks are failing.
People need money.

236
00:16:09,021 --> 00:16:11,421
People need to get loans.

237
00:16:11,487 --> 00:16:13,821
With Meyer Lansky handling the finances,

238
00:16:13,887 --> 00:16:16,421
Luciano and his gang are
using your new fraud

239
00:16:16,487 --> 00:16:19,021
to earn a fortune.

240
00:16:19,087 --> 00:16:21,621
You can't just
go to a bank and say,

241
00:16:21,687 --> 00:16:23,187
"Can you lend me some money?

242
00:16:23,254 --> 00:16:24,554
"It's just that my rent has expired."

243
00:16:24,621 --> 00:16:26,087
You can't say,
"lend me some money.

244
00:16:26,154 --> 00:16:27,821
I have to pay the
my son's university",

245
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:29,621
because they are not going to give you any loan.

246
00:16:29,687 --> 00:16:33,087
So, you go to what is
used to call "lenders",

247
00:16:33,154 --> 00:16:36,521
and, hey, credit cards
They charge 18 percent interest

248
00:16:36,587 --> 00:16:39,054
and the interest of a lender
It is 20 percent.

249
00:16:39,121 --> 00:16:40,854
So what does it matter?
if you ask for a loan

250
00:16:40,921 --> 00:16:42,287
to Chase Manhattan Bank

251
00:16:42,354 --> 00:16:44,087
or do you ask for the loan on the street?

252
00:16:55,821 --> 00:16:58,221
I thought I would find you here.

253
00:16:58,287 --> 00:17:00,254
Bugsy, it was just a misunderstanding.

254
00:17:04,621 --> 00:17:07,087
A misunderstanding?

255
00:17:07,154 --> 00:17:08,954
Well, okay,

256
00:17:09,021 --> 00:17:10,121
because people have misunderstandings

257
00:17:10,187 --> 00:17:12,287
all the time.

258
00:17:13,354 --> 00:17:14,521
For example, I don't understand

259
00:17:14,587 --> 00:17:18,421
how can you possibly think that
can you borrow money from me...

260
00:17:18,487 --> 00:17:21,087
And not give it back to me.

261
00:17:23,554 --> 00:17:25,954
It's a terrible misunderstanding.

262
00:17:29,787 --> 00:17:31,987
Do you mind if I finish this?

263
00:17:41,454 --> 00:17:46,154
 �Next time, you're going to
remember to pay me my money!

264
00:17:46,221 --> 00:17:47,987
There were times when
they would break your knees

265
00:17:48,054 --> 00:17:49,154
or the legs.

266
00:17:49,221 --> 00:17:51,321
And as a consequence, people learned,

267
00:17:51,387 --> 00:17:52,954
They paid the Mafia.

268
00:17:53,021 --> 00:17:56,121
They paid the Mafia before the bank.

269
00:17:56,187 --> 00:17:59,087
And when they couldn't, the Mafia said,

270
00:17:59,154 --> 00:18:02,254
"Okay, then we'll stay
with ten percent of your business.

271
00:18:07,221 --> 00:18:10,154
While America is submerged
in financial ruin,

272
00:18:10,221 --> 00:18:13,187
Luciano and his gang are
earning a fortune.

273
00:18:13,254 --> 00:18:16,654
The Mafia has shares
in businesses throughout New York

274
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:21,921
and Luciano is staying with 20
percent interest each week.

275
00:18:21,987 --> 00:18:25,454
You still have the obligation to
give his share to Joe Masseria,

276
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:28,554
so Luciano believes that because
the time has finally come

277
00:18:28,621 --> 00:18:30,721
to eliminate the only person
that stands in your way

278
00:18:30,787 --> 00:18:33,587
to get to the top
from the New York underworld.

279
00:18:35,687 --> 00:18:38,287
But before
Luciano can do anything,

280
00:18:39,354 --> 00:18:40,321
A new rival attacks first.

281
00:19:09,154 --> 00:19:12,054
A surprise attack leaves one of
Joe Masseria's warehouses

282
00:19:12,121 --> 00:19:16,321
in ruins.

283
00:19:17,387 --> 00:19:19,454
The man behind the assault
is determined to get involved

284
00:19:19,521 --> 00:19:24,054
in Joe Masseria's territory.

285
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,854
He is a boss of the Sicilian Mafia...

286
00:19:29,054 --> 00:19:32,487
And a war has just started

287
00:19:32,554 --> 00:19:36,854
with the most important boss
from New York, Joe Masseria.

288
00:19:43,421 --> 00:19:45,021
Joe "The Boss" Masseria has
ran the New York underworld

289
00:19:45,154 --> 00:19:48,087
during the last decade.

290
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:51,754
But, in May 1930,

291
00:19:51,821 --> 00:19:53,821
one of their warehouses is attacked.

292
00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:19,509
Masseria's empire
becomes the target

293
00:20:19,575 --> 00:20:22,842
of a ruthless and wealthy
head of the Sicilian Mafia

294
00:20:22,909 --> 00:20:25,809
called Salvatore Maranzano.

295
00:20:25,875 --> 00:20:27,275
At the end of 1920,

296
00:20:27,342 --> 00:20:30,809
there was an italian band
Brooklyn-based rival,

297
00:20:30,875 --> 00:20:35,442
known as "The Castellammarese"
and that they came from Sicily.

298
00:20:35,509 --> 00:20:36,975
And their leader was a man

299
00:20:37,042 --> 00:20:40,642
whose name was Salvatore Maranzano.

300
00:20:40,709 --> 00:20:42,209
Maranzano had been
sent to new york

301
00:20:42,275 --> 00:20:45,042
by the bosses of the Mafia in Sicily.

302
00:20:48,875 --> 00:20:50,275
The power of the Mafia
is being crushed

303
00:20:50,342 --> 00:20:54,909
for the rise of a
tyrannical and young dictator.

304
00:20:54,975 --> 00:20:57,842
Benito Mussolini.

305
00:20:57,909 --> 00:20:59,542
During the last century,

306
00:20:59,609 --> 00:21:04,242
The Sicilian Mafia has dominated Italy.

307
00:21:04,309 --> 00:21:08,642
Mussolini realized that one
One of their biggest problems was the Mafia.

308
00:21:08,709 --> 00:21:12,009
That they would not yield to his will.

309
00:21:12,075 --> 00:21:17,009
So, he stopped those who
considered alleged gangsters

310
00:21:17,075 --> 00:21:19,175
and he simply put them in prison.

311
00:21:19,242 --> 00:21:22,442
That led to one of the
more numerous exoduses

312
00:21:22,509 --> 00:21:25,542
of the future Mafia in America.

313
00:21:25,609 --> 00:21:28,409
So, Mussolini went without
intention of the person responsible

314
00:21:28,475 --> 00:21:31,809
to help create the American Mafia.

315
00:21:39,009 --> 00:21:40,942
Salvatore Maranzano had been sent

316
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:45,442
to establish a basis for
the Sicilian Mafia in America.

317
00:21:45,509 --> 00:21:47,642
And, with a single blow,

318
00:21:47,709 --> 00:21:51,575
has declared war on the boss
most important in New York,

319
00:21:51,642 --> 00:21:54,142
Joe Masseria.

320
00:22:00,209 --> 00:22:03,142
This is a turf war.

321
00:22:03,209 --> 00:22:05,275
We have to impose ourselves.

322
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:10,575
I want to know every simple
movement you make,

323
00:22:10,642 --> 00:22:13,675
before I do it.

324
00:22:13,742 --> 00:22:16,375
If you suspect anyone
who is with Maranzano,

325
00:22:16,442 --> 00:22:20,775
and I mean anyone...

326
00:22:20,842 --> 00:22:23,642
Kill him.

327
00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:25,342
There are many gangsters who compare

328
00:22:25,409 --> 00:22:28,109
with the soldiers of an army.

329
00:22:28,175 --> 00:22:29,275
When the general says,

330
00:22:29,342 --> 00:22:32,242
"boys you have to assault
that hill and kill the enemy,"

331
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:35,109
It's the same as when
Don of a family says,

332
00:22:35,175 --> 00:22:38,442
"boys you have to
take out those guys."

333
00:22:38,509 --> 00:22:40,442
You are receiving orders.

334
00:23:06,809 --> 00:23:09,375
In May 1930...

335
00:23:12,742 --> 00:23:17,042
An all-out war breaks out...

336
00:23:17,109 --> 00:23:19,675
When Joe Masseria
and Salvatore Maranzano

337
00:23:19,742 --> 00:23:22,942
They fight for control of New York.

338
00:23:23,009 --> 00:23:24,875
No, no, please. I swear.

339
00:23:35,375 --> 00:23:36,642
Oh my God, no, please!

340
00:23:51,809 --> 00:23:54,409
The streets have become
on a battlefield,

341
00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:58,842
in what became known as
"The War of the Castellammareans".

342
00:24:04,275 --> 00:24:07,209
The Castellammarese War
it was the first time

343
00:24:07,275 --> 00:24:12,809
that there really was a brutal war
between rival gangs of Italians.

344
00:24:12,875 --> 00:24:16,809
We had never had before
that in New York or in America.

345
00:24:16,875 --> 00:24:19,342
No one was safe on the streets.

346
00:24:19,409 --> 00:24:22,342
The situation was reached
what they called

347
00:24:22,409 --> 00:24:23,742
"go with the mattresses",

348
00:24:23,809 --> 00:24:26,309
where you had to hide
somewhere safe

349
00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:27,909
because you never knew

350
00:24:27,975 --> 00:24:29,042
If when you go out into the street,

351
00:24:29,109 --> 00:24:30,409
They could shoot you down.

352
00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:38,075
That's how he's doing it down there.

353
00:24:38,142 --> 00:24:39,475
He's going to let us participate.

354
00:24:39,542 --> 00:24:41,009
Right now how many
Do locals have drinks?

355
00:24:41,075 --> 00:24:43,242
We have about four
warehouses in the center.

356
00:24:43,309 --> 00:24:45,175
Next step, Charlie,

357
00:24:45,242 --> 00:24:47,375
is to get contacts
in England, okay?

358
00:24:47,442 --> 00:24:49,142
- We will do it legally...
- And here?

359
00:24:49,209 --> 00:24:50,842
No, we have to be able
to import whiskey legally.

360
00:24:50,909 --> 00:24:51,675
- Do you understand me, Charlie?
- And what's happening here?

361
00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:54,075
I'm asking you,
How many stores here?

362
00:24:54,142 --> 00:24:55,075
Hey! Hey!

363
00:25:02,509 --> 00:25:04,375
Come in!

364
00:25:04,442 --> 00:25:07,009
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

365
00:25:07,075 --> 00:25:08,809
Damn!

366
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:11,542
Shit!

367
00:25:22,893 --> 00:25:25,293
While the Mafia war rages
havoc in the streets of New York...

368
00:25:27,128 --> 00:25:29,461
one of the most senior lieutenants
important by Joe Masseria,

369
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:31,061
Charles Luciano,

370
00:25:31,128 --> 00:25:33,361
is in the power of
ruthless Sicilian boss,

371
00:25:33,428 --> 00:25:34,994
Salvatore Maranzano.

372
00:25:35,060 --> 00:25:38,860
Julius Caesar once said,

373
00:25:38,928 --> 00:25:44,228
"It's easier to find men
who are willing to die...

374
00:25:44,294 --> 00:25:46,161
Than to find those who are willing

375
00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:52,028
to endure the pain with patience."

376
00:25:52,094 --> 00:25:54,661
Salvatore Maranzano is
determined to send a message

377
00:25:54,728 --> 00:25:58,928
to Joe Masseria and his band.

378
00:25:58,994 --> 00:26:00,761
And for the next eight hours,

379
00:26:00,828 --> 00:26:03,361
Luciano is beaten and tortured.

380
00:26:21,193 --> 00:26:23,260
Come on.

381
00:26:23,327 --> 00:26:27,393
Luciano is taken to an area
secluded on Staten Island,

382
00:26:27,461 --> 00:26:29,628
where they throw him away and he is left for dead.

383
00:26:51,561 --> 00:26:54,994
Against all odds,
Somehow, Luciano survives.

384
00:26:58,728 --> 00:27:01,794
What is the rumor on the street?

385
00:27:01,861 --> 00:27:03,961
Nothing good.

386
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:11,694
The incredible recovery of
Luciano gives him a nickname

387
00:27:11,761 --> 00:27:15,228
that would last a lifetime.

388
00:27:15,228 --> 00:27:18,994
"Lucky" Luciano.

389
00:27:19,061 --> 00:27:21,228
He was actually stabbed
and left for dead.

390
00:27:21,294 --> 00:27:23,861
People don't take it
seriously enough his nickname.

391
00:27:23,928 --> 00:27:25,794
The guy was very lucky.

392
00:27:27,928 --> 00:27:30,661
someone has to pay
for this, Charlie.

393
00:27:30,728 --> 00:27:31,794
We're ready, Charlie.

394
00:27:31,861 --> 00:27:34,894
Don't do anything yet. Is it clear?

395
00:27:34,961 --> 00:27:38,894
Because they will be waiting for us.

396
00:27:38,961 --> 00:27:42,394
Luciano understood that
Maranzano was not going to give in.

397
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,994
And he decided that he was not only the same,

398
00:27:45,061 --> 00:27:48,461
but it was better than
Joe "The Boss" Masseria.

399
00:27:48,528 --> 00:27:50,194
It was an all-out war.

400
00:27:50,261 --> 00:27:51,794
And there was not going to be a peace treaty

401
00:27:51,861 --> 00:27:54,461
among those guys because
They hated each other.

402
00:27:54,528 --> 00:27:59,894
And Luciano decided that he had to
get Masseria out of the way.

403
00:28:01,828 --> 00:28:05,794
The time has finally come
of killing Joe Masseria.

404
00:28:05,861 --> 00:28:10,361
And Luciano sees potential
in forging an alliance

405
00:28:10,428 --> 00:28:11,994
with the man who just hit him

406
00:28:12,061 --> 00:28:14,361
until he was about to die.

407
00:29:00,128 --> 00:29:03,261
You look better than
The last time I saw you.

408
00:29:09,961 --> 00:29:12,061
Why are you here?

409
00:29:12,127 --> 00:29:17,327
Because I respect him and I love him
work for you.

410
00:29:17,394 --> 00:29:18,794
I find it hard to believe

411
00:29:18,861 --> 00:29:21,461
that the man who killed for Masseria

412
00:29:21,528 --> 00:29:25,228
suddenly want to work for me.

413
00:29:25,294 --> 00:29:29,694
What honor can a traitor have?

414
00:29:29,761 --> 00:29:33,228
Let me prove it to you.

415
00:29:33,294 --> 00:29:35,528
How?

416
00:29:35,594 --> 00:29:37,528
I will kill Joe Masseria myself.

417
00:29:51,561 --> 00:29:55,261
To show you my gratitude,

418
00:29:55,328 --> 00:29:59,661
you will receive a part of
Masseria's businesses.

419
00:29:59,728 --> 00:30:01,861
I don't want a part of
Masseria's businesses.

420
00:30:01,928 --> 00:30:03,594
I want them whole.

421
00:30:03,661 --> 00:30:08,328
One more thing... It's over
about the boss of bosses.

422
00:30:10,661 --> 00:30:13,428
OK.

423
00:30:13,494 --> 00:30:15,994
Lucky makes a deal with Maranzano.

424
00:30:16,061 --> 00:30:20,561
Lucky said, "I'll take care of Masseria,

425
00:30:20,628 --> 00:30:23,428
and the deal is that
would end the war,

426
00:30:23,494 --> 00:30:25,228
there would only be the two of them left

427
00:30:25,294 --> 00:30:28,028
and business would prosper again."

428
00:30:28,094 --> 00:30:30,194
What did Maranzano have to lose?

429
00:30:30,261 --> 00:30:33,661
So he said, "Sure, go ahead."

430
00:30:33,728 --> 00:30:36,628
Luciano has the deal he wanted.

431
00:30:36,694 --> 00:30:38,761
If you eliminate Joe "The Boss",

432
00:30:38,828 --> 00:30:43,494
will be one step closer
to end the war

433
00:30:43,561 --> 00:30:46,228
and seize power
from the underworld world.

434
00:31:04,491 --> 00:31:07,158
Tomorrow I want you to call Masseria

435
00:31:07,224 --> 00:31:10,591
and organize a meeting in Coney Island.

436
00:31:10,658 --> 00:31:14,858
Determined to end the
Castellammarese War,

437
00:31:14,924 --> 00:31:18,358
Lucky Luciano and his
band make a plan

438
00:31:18,424 --> 00:31:22,558
to kill the boss
mobster, Joe Masseria.

439
00:31:22,624 --> 00:31:25,758
But first, you have to
to be able to get close to him.

440
00:31:27,658 --> 00:31:30,658
Although Masseria is
surrounded by bodyguards,

441
00:31:30,658 --> 00:31:34,458
Luciano knows that his loyalty
can be purchased...

442
00:31:39,291 --> 00:31:41,224
for the right price.

443
00:31:44,791 --> 00:31:46,891
That is part of the
chess game

444
00:31:46,958 --> 00:31:52,091
The loyalty they profess,
It's pure talk.

445
00:31:52,158 --> 00:31:55,324
They are only as loyal as they need to be.

446
00:31:55,391 --> 00:31:56,558
And whenever they can get something,

447
00:31:56,624 --> 00:31:58,291
They try to get something.

448
00:32:11,691 --> 00:32:14,858
Lucky knew, the enormous appetite

449
00:32:14,924 --> 00:32:16,258
that Masseria had.

450
00:32:16,324 --> 00:32:19,358
So I invited him to his
Favorite restaurant in Brooklyn.

451
00:32:21,891 --> 00:32:23,791
Will you excuse me for a moment?

452
00:32:31,724 --> 00:32:33,691
While they were having dessert,

453
00:32:33,758 --> 00:32:36,358
Lucky said he had
have to go to the bathroom

454
00:32:36,424 --> 00:32:39,058
and left Masseria alone at the table.

455
00:33:17,224 --> 00:33:19,858
The man who had ruled the lowlands
New York funds for ten years,

456
00:33:19,924 --> 00:33:25,891
Joe "The Boss" Masseria, has died.

457
00:33:25,958 --> 00:33:31,224
The most important bet of
Luciano has just paid off.

458
00:33:31,291 --> 00:33:35,491
And while you wait to receive the
Masseria criminal empire,

459
00:33:35,558 --> 00:33:39,991
still has to be held accountable
the man he made the deal with.

460
00:33:47,091 --> 00:33:49,458
Thank you for coming, gentlemen.

461
00:33:49,524 --> 00:33:51,358
In May 1931,

462
00:33:51,424 --> 00:33:53,758
Salvatore Maranzano organizes a meeting

463
00:33:53,824 --> 00:33:57,158
with the most gangsters
powerful people of New York.

464
00:33:57,224 --> 00:34:01,924
Men like Joe Bonano, Joe Profaci

465
00:34:01,991 --> 00:34:06,591
and Lucky Luciano, declare victory.

466
00:34:06,658 --> 00:34:09,058
Now, the war is over.

467
00:34:09,124 --> 00:34:11,424
Masseria is dead.

468
00:34:11,491 --> 00:34:15,858
Starting today, let's go
to leave all that behind.

469
00:34:15,924 --> 00:34:20,424
From now on, we will
things differently.

470
00:34:20,491 --> 00:34:24,458
I think it's a good one
idea for all bosses

471
00:34:24,524 --> 00:34:27,458
serve under the orders of a single boss.

472
00:34:31,758 --> 00:34:33,391
I...

473
00:34:33,458 --> 00:34:36,091
will serve as...

474
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:39,358
capo di tutti capi...

475
00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:42,524
the boss of bosses.

476
00:34:55,658 --> 00:34:57,924
Health.

477
00:35:02,158 --> 00:35:05,824
Maranzano declares that he is going
to be the supreme authority.

478
00:35:05,891 --> 00:35:09,758
It will do exactly what
that Masseria tried to do.

479
00:35:09,824 --> 00:35:12,391
Luciano did not like this.
it went down too well.

480
00:35:24,891 --> 00:35:28,758
But shortly after declaring
himself "boss of bosses",

481
00:35:28,824 --> 00:35:30,124
Maranzano is convinced

482
00:35:30,191 --> 00:35:33,924
that his rivals are planning to kill him.

483
00:35:33,991 --> 00:35:36,391
The reason was that being the
Godfather was very dangerous,

484
00:35:36,458 --> 00:35:37,458
You are a target.

485
00:35:37,524 --> 00:35:39,324
You are not just a target
for law enforcement

486
00:35:39,391 --> 00:35:42,458
but your own people
wants to get rid of you

487
00:35:42,524 --> 00:35:45,458
because they want to be the boss.

488
00:35:45,524 --> 00:35:47,558
Salvatore Maranzano
become the boss of bosses

489
00:35:47,624 --> 00:35:50,891
and that is even much worse than before.

490
00:35:50,958 --> 00:35:53,124
Start killing everyone
what you have around you

491
00:35:53,191 --> 00:35:54,958
those he doesn't trust.

492
00:35:57,891 --> 00:36:00,258
Maranzano hires the most lethal assassin,

493
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,591
Mad Dog Coll,

494
00:36:02,658 --> 00:36:07,624
to start killing all those
who suspects they could betray him.

495
00:36:08,691 --> 00:36:10,558
And the first man on your list...

496
00:36:10,624 --> 00:36:12,224
It's Lucky Luciano.

497
00:36:27,736 --> 00:36:29,902
Now that Masseria
is out of the way,

498
00:36:29,969 --> 00:36:34,036
Maranzano is going to have to
change things a little.

499
00:36:34,102 --> 00:36:35,702
More than they are now?

500
00:36:35,769 --> 00:36:38,836
Maranzano has not yet
cleaning finished.

501
00:36:38,902 --> 00:36:40,969
Yes? And what does that mean?

502
00:36:41,036 --> 00:36:47,402
It means that Lucky Luciano
He has exhausted his luck.

503
00:36:47,470 --> 00:36:51,237
Luciano finds out,
thanks to Frank Costello,

504
00:36:51,302 --> 00:36:55,402
that Maranzano has put
price on his head.

505
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:03,769
You can only do one thing.

506
00:37:03,836 --> 00:37:08,036
He has to kill Maranzano
before it kills him.

507
00:37:08,102 --> 00:37:10,102
He will be waiting for us. We know that.

508
00:37:14,002 --> 00:37:15,969
There has to be a way
to kill Maranzano.

509
00:37:16,036 --> 00:37:19,369
Yes, but it has to be
fast, get in and get out.

510
00:37:19,436 --> 00:37:21,702
He has many men.

511
00:37:21,769 --> 00:37:23,636
They will be uploaded to any
bully to come closer.

512
00:37:23,702 --> 00:37:24,702
No, there has to be a way.

513
00:37:24,769 --> 00:37:26,469
There has to be some
way to approach him.

514
00:37:32,469 --> 00:37:34,769
When Luciano, Costello

515
00:37:34,836 --> 00:37:38,402
and Lansky went after Maranzano,

516
00:37:38,469 --> 00:37:41,502
they knew they were in
your list of objectives.

517
00:37:41,569 --> 00:37:44,002
Their survival was at stake.

518
00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:48,069
Kill this guy or him
It's going to wipe you out.

519
00:37:48,136 --> 00:37:52,836
What happens if we don't send
a thug or a hitman?

520
00:37:52,902 --> 00:37:57,802
Those from the Treasury have been
harassing everyone, right?

521
00:37:57,869 --> 00:38:00,102
Maranzano included.

522
00:38:04,336 --> 00:38:05,836
Lucky knows that the Federal Government

523
00:38:05,902 --> 00:38:08,036
has started investigating
high profile gangsters

524
00:38:08,102 --> 00:38:10,802
for tax evasion.

525
00:38:10,869 --> 00:38:13,102
And in the last couple of months,

526
00:38:14,169 --> 00:38:18,336
Treasury has been planning to audit
the accounts of Salvatore Maranzano.

527
00:38:18,402 --> 00:38:21,236
The FBI is struggling a little more.

528
00:38:21,236 --> 00:38:22,802
But, even so,

529
00:38:22,869 --> 00:38:27,402
It's not going to be the FBI that puts
gangsters behind bars.

530
00:38:27,469 --> 00:38:30,336
It's going to be the Treasury.

531
00:38:30,402 --> 00:38:34,269
The Treasury men in contrast
to the men of the Government.

532
00:38:34,336 --> 00:38:37,369
Knowing that Maranzano is
a Treasury objective,

533
00:38:37,436 --> 00:38:41,169
Luciano orchestrates a lethal plan.

534
00:38:42,369 --> 00:38:45,269
And use your advisor
Nearest, Meyer Lansky

535
00:38:45,336 --> 00:38:47,702
and his bully, Bugsy Siegel,

536
00:38:47,769 --> 00:38:50,236
to carry out the operation.

537
00:38:52,769 --> 00:38:56,102
Lansky was a brilliant strategist.

538
00:38:57,169 --> 00:39:00,702
was able to maneuver
between very violent men

539
00:39:00,769 --> 00:39:02,802
and very ruthless.

540
00:39:02,869 --> 00:39:05,602
I would put Meyer Lansky at
charge of anything.

541
00:39:05,669 --> 00:39:09,169
He could run the Pentagon.

542
00:39:11,502 --> 00:39:15,069
On September 10, 1931,

543
00:39:15,136 --> 00:39:19,036
with Bugsy Siegel and his men
disguised as tax agents,

544
00:39:19,102 --> 00:39:23,302
Luciano orders the boss of bosses to be killed.

545
00:39:55,636 --> 00:39:57,869
Treasury! �It's you
Salvatore Maranzano?

546
00:39:57,936 --> 00:39:59,236
I don't know what he's talking about.

547
00:40:46,802 --> 00:40:49,269
Come on.

548
00:41:24,169 --> 00:41:26,169
In less than five months,

549
00:41:26,236 --> 00:41:28,136
Lucky Luciano has liquidated
the two most important bosses

550
00:41:28,136 --> 00:41:32,036
of the New York Mafia...

551
00:41:32,102 --> 00:41:34,636
And now you can take your place

552
00:41:34,702 --> 00:41:37,769
like the king of New York.

553
00:41:39,219 --> 00:41:41,509
