it is such a brilliant such a brilliant film but it is an act of desperation he didn't want to expose himself in that way he didn't want to make a movie in his own home but he does not want to let the iranian government win they're not going to control his life they're not going to limit his imagination and i think for me it's a template right [Music] in new york city today they are still trying to figure out who wanted joe colombo dead carmine galente was rubbed out today as he sat in a brooklyn three other men in trench coats and fedora hats surrounded the car and in close range you compared someone to swatting the fly simple because if i didn't i couldn't tell for three months i traveled across america to try to understand what life is like in the mafia the men i met were major figures some of whom have never spoken before are you saying there were times when your son came with you he was there on occasion until yet i left him in the car i went out and i shot a guy and i walked back in the car he heard the gunshots and i used to joke with him you went on your first hit at seven years old do they come off to you no nobody has maybe after they hear this they might it's a life they may leave but can never entirely escape nor can their families avoid the consequences the first rule of the mafia is loyalty break it and you pay the price nothing could justify killing somebody in that way as your brother was killed trevor this is the life this is the life we chose this is the life he chose the path your life is not your own you're probably of this entity this causes an australia that goes back hundreds of years my introduction to the mobs to life was unusual this is queens in new york and it turns out to be a typical mafia neighborhood the man taking me around grew up here and became a killer his job was to do the mafia's dirty work on the streets meet john elite he's still known in these parts as the sheriff how dangerous an area was this john well back growing up this area is called woodhaven that's the name of the section we nicknamed the death haven death haven yeah there was concert murders he had constant rivalries between different guys in the street different mob families so we would kill almost at will as somebody given a beating my friend angela was shot here three or four times on the corner uh shot the head back several times the bar owners on this corner uh there was a double homicide there those are just a couple i mean there's probably a dozen bodies just on this two blocks here how many of these incidents were you involved in john uh directly quite a few indirectly always but somehow i'm tied into everything that goes on around here this was my neighborhood i kind of forced it i have to grow up here and as i aged i i took over this area hey what's up yeah i've known him a long time since uh six years old very else what do you do for a living these days i'm an attorney so i've seen in out of his various housing arrangements you know housing arrangements yeah you know sometimes some friends oh yeah a long time sure um he was uh sometimes locked up 23 hours a day and his parents had called me up as his attorney i could get him out and so you tried to help john by getting him out of prison i did i don't think it worked but looking at this area today it's still difficult to believe all these things that went on this neighborhood was chock full of trouble it was tough to stay out of trouble here he looked for it he looked we went the other way you know he went one way looking for trouble he went the other way yeah i didn't have the head for that he was he was just different he was like i said fearless but it's good to talk to you pleasure travis nice to meet you nice to meet you i see you guys it's good seeing you guys good luck to you john what do you think it was that made tim go one way in life and your life took a turn the other way i think it was a combination of things his dad was an attorney successful he went to church he went to private school the exposure he had to the street was limited mine was uh every angle of my life was around street guys and wildlife i was exposed to fast money and anybody around my life was in that business and and i took to it and i i didn't have a problem with getting hurt and being aggressive i was used to it as a kid [Music] the mafia was built on fear and intimidation for a man like john rising up through the ranks would depend on his willingness to carry out orders however brutal elite worked for john gotti in the 1980s and 1990s gotti was the godfather of the gambino crime family the most powerful and feared mobsters in america when the order was given to kill local criminal georgie grosso john was given the job it would be his first hit georgia grass was a drug dealer and he was shooting his mouth off and he was marked to be hit so he had to go once that order was down and i set him up to be killed and i lured them lured him in the car with the rest of the guys and i drove up near shea stadium which is now citi field and shot him in the head two times so you put a gun to the back of his head and shot him yeah it was my hit and i was gonna do the work i don't like to use the word pride but at the time that's what i was thinking i'm gonna take pride in what i do and i'm gonna do it good what happened to the body what did you do with the body uh just picked it up i told the guys move it and throw it on the side of the road like garbage we wanted the public and more so street guys and his brother-in-law to understand you do something you're not told and you disobey our laws and our rules uh there is no negotiating you're going to be killed and we want everybody to know as an example that you're going to get killed and we also want them to know who's killing them that's how the godfathers maintained their control they rely on men like john elite to kill on command but in recent times the story of the mafia is one of loyalty turning into betrayal to avoid long prison sentences gangsters testify against their bosses john gotti said to be the new godfather well now his most trusted lieutenant has agreed never it would be not since al capone has anybody stirred up the public appetite for a larger than lifelong reputed boss of the nation's largest mafia family was arrested tonight in a move by the fbi the 1980s john elites boss john gotti had appeared invincible but when one of his most loyal lieutenants broke the mafia's code of silence gotti's empire fell apart nothing had stuck to the teflon dawn until today the teflon is gone the dawn is covered with velcro and every charge in the indictment stuck informers have been the fbi's most valuable weapon in the battle against the mob i was about to meet the man in this picture single-handedly he has inflicted more damage on the mafia than anyone else in recent times a former high-ranking member of the gambino crime family his name is michael de leonardo also known as mikey scars after months of persuasion mikey scars agreed to meet us in miami scars lives in permanent fear of attack and has until recently been in the government's witness protection program he never told us where he lives all he would say was that he was flying in from out of state and would meet us in this hotel [Music] this is the first time he's spoken in public [Music] how safe do you feel in your daily life now uh it's it's a it's an ongoing process uh you never really feel safe uh you take each day as it comes along and you don't dwell on your situation your past or your uh you're in danger zones that you could be in and would be in what's your worst fear what will they do to you that would be death death for myself but my family paramount of course i have a child and a and a wife here now and uh some of these people they may not take into consideration who's sitting in the car with me or walking in the street with me or in my house if they kick my door and kill everybody in the house that's my biggest fear biggest concern and what keeps me up at night is it difficult to live with oh i don't sleep i sleep an hour two hours three four hours tops when i'm up every night for the last uh 12 years i don't get a good night's sleep ever my conscience bothers me what does your conscience bother you about uh the damage that i've done to some people that i loved in the street are friends that i like very much and just my legacy my what i was uh born into and raised into and every fiber of my body that i that i gave up you were captain of the gambino family one of the biggest uh criminal organizations in the country and you decided to testify against people you work with people you knew people i loved people you loved right i after certain things i was arrested in june 20th of 2002 and i was held without bail i had many things going on the street i was in charge of the construction for the family i had the stock business we were making a lot of money for the family and myself when i didn't receive bail all my money stopped every penny that i was earning in the street whether it be family related can be no family related or my own personal money that i was earning and that would send messages back and forth say what that was going on there where's the money i got families i got support out here i got to pay for lawyers where are we going here and that would it it became uh tell him uh tell him tell his wife to go on welfare my wife go on welfare these guys kidding me i sent a message back out he says listen i don't remember dying and i don't remember getting life i may come home one day i steal a dead sentence myself i threatened them so i knew but i knew what i was doing i did not care at that point i'm facing life in jail for a murder that i was arrested for that i did for the family i didn't do it for me do you think you were lucky to still be alive oh absolutely uh it's not it's not if it's when i know that's tongue-in-cheek a lot of people say those things that if when but that's the truth i've told my wife madeline i said marilyn if i get killed don't get mad at anybody what are you talking about don't talk like that no no i accept this is my life you're out of it no i'm never out of it i'm still part of that life it's their job to find me and kill me don't get mad move on and you tell my son that when he's able to lower it don't get mad at anybody i chose this i know i know the consequences and that's it these are pictures of mikey scars forebears his family have been part of the mafia since its creation in sicily when we next meet in new york i discover how betraying his past puts his life in jeopardy to this day right there i can't look that way he'll look right at me i'm saying that right here two guys from the casey [Music] family how many deaths murders do you suppose you are directly responsible for up to now i respectfully decline to answer on the ground that my aunts may tend to incriminate me how long have you been in the united states i declined to answer where did you go to school i respectfully declined to answer because i honestly believe my answer might tend to incriminate me from its inception the mafia had to be a secret organization it survived and thrived by its code of silence that was key to protecting its structure and its members from the law [Music] all that changed one day in 1963 when a mobster determined to save his own skin gave the whole game away who was the boss of the family that you belong to in casa nostra vito geneves veto genovese he picks your finger who the godfather he picks your thing he picks your finger joe valachi described the mafia's induction ceremony revealed that there were five ruling families in new york and that the organization was known to its members as causa nostra more recently the damage done to the mafia by mikey scars is almost as great on his evidence alone 80 of them were sent to prison his deal with the fbi saved him from a life behind bars but he knows the mob will never forgive him how often do you come back to new york these days not very often i try to uh avoid as much as much as possible and why is that uh it'd be like thumbing my uh putting a stick in the eye of the people that i've i've hurt and um that are out to uh you know kill me they're responsible to kill me if they could catch me in the right spot at the right time do they never forget kosa nostra is one long memory uh they don't forget kosonosha does not forget we were venturing into a part of the city mikey scar's new well he wanted to introduce me to an area which holds many memories for him [Music] what i didn't anticipate was that we were about to have a close encounter with some of his friends from the mob [Music] we're in the heart of little italy now is this safe here now well there's a high risk area um even though the social clubs and the presence is not like it was years ago decades ago there's still a strong presence you could run into somebody or i could run into somebody in this area if i was silly enough to walk down these blocks i probably would have a problem [Music] and we're going along a block that i was inducted december 24 1988 in this building right here oh yes this one right here mulberry street it was a very proud day in my life i achieved the goal that i wanted to achieve was being an inductive member of in austria in the gambino family it seems amazing to think that even after all this time over there with the blue shirt kissing the girls over there right right there i can't look that way you'll look right at me suddenly out in the open among the tourists scars recognizes two mafia members sitting at the table yeah yeah that is two guys from the casey family you recognize them you recognize them after all this time oh yeah yeah i know i know that kid since his uh baby his father was murdered by the gambino family he was uh with john gotti on a uh a murder that went wrong and later on this fellow's father was murdered for screwing up on the hit he's a nice kid i like him nice kid nice man he did a big bid in jail and as you see he's back to uh daily business that's what we do well what precisely would be his reaction if he were to see you driving around now well he's with another member of organized crime they're gonna they would react they would react in a way an aggressive manner if he was alone maybe a little different he would be he would act maybe he may make believe he didn't even see me you know but since he's with another member they put each other on the spot that white is doing anything how they're gonna go back says we've seen uh mikey scotts driving around mulberry street and what'd you guys do nothing they would tarnish their reputation a little bit they didn't try anything [Music] [Music] [Music] the mob goes where the money is and new york offers the chance to make more money than anywhere else in america [Music] from garbage gambling in the garment industry to food finance and the construction business the mafia turns street thugs into millionaires they say the gambino family has 400 initiated men 4 000 associates and an estimated worth of 500 million federal agents began a roundup of some of the alleged mafia bosses and musclemen said to be behind the mob's theft of hundreds of millions of dollars in gasoline i had access to so much cash on a regular basis that you lose perspective of what money is and cash is it's like you're almost printing it [Music] john elite amassed considerable wealth from his life as an enforcer before the fbi caught up with him he was once the owner of 10 homes including this estate where he lived with his family for 20 years it's more than an hour's drive from new york but the brutality of those streets was never far away this must have been an amazing estate for you to own at such an early age age in your 20s yeah i felt like i was successful and uh we loved it i mean this this is like a a big playground for my family i mean this was incredible for me yeah i felt uh i was elated beyond elated i would say really i really enjoyed it here my kids enjoyed it my whole family enjoyed it it was great it must have been tough to give up all this when you had to say goodbye to it all yeah i was really sad i mean when i knew i was going to lose this and it was going to be over i was more sad for my kids and family than i was for myself but you know because i have the guilt of uh taking this away from everybody after giving it to everybody and my you know obviously my happiness would be my kids being happy here did you think that life would go on forever yeah i always thought i'd be in a state like this i never thought things would change uh if anything i thought things would get a lot better yeah and when you come back now what are your reflections on seeing this and remembering what went on in the past you know it's some sadness because you know i look at that door and i'm waiting for my grandmother to come out of that house again she would walk out of there with a big smile on her face and i was very close to it so you know those memories you they're embedded in your mind you know in my mind they were great you know happy times elite's rise in the mafia was spectacular his business assets included nightclubs in florida new york and new jersey and he was for a time a major drug dealer with connections around the world and this is the living room area yeah it's just the living room facing and uh and what's this this room this is where uh i kept all the guns in this back corner if you go straight back to the left i had everything hidden back there when you say all the guns how many are we talking about uh usually at a time about eight uh machine guns two semi-automatics nine millimeters a couple handguns 41 uh revolver at 38 and then i would have some smaller handguns inside usually deranges that's a huge stack of ammunition yeah yeah all kinds of ammunition here weapons and this is my uh main bedroom at the time uh it was a sunken jacuzzi tub here and this was the main bedroom and i would overlook the lake you had quite a stack of weapons in this house john did you ever have to use them i used them on two occasions what were those one was construction worker that uh i was mad at that that i thought he wronged me with some money i ended up going to prison for that and another was uh what did you shoot him you shot him uh pistol whipped him with it uh beat him up and stripped them down threw him in the lake and so you took all his clothes off you mean yeah i uh ripped his clothes off broke his uh eye sock and knocked some teeth out broke his hand i believe and then on a second occasion i used it when my wife gave me a phone call the times my ex-wife that several guys were waiting up up on the top of the road for me and i shot home and shot it out with them up at the top of the road and i believe severely wounded three of them so there was a big shootout yeah on this property yeah and were you the only shooter on your side on my side i was the only shooter did you have any evidence that the others that your attackers were wounded well for sure i had one down and uh i uh i killed them i shot them i had them on the floor and i finished them [Music] that life of guns and shootouts ended when john agreed to testify against other senior mafia figures he was given a reduced sentence of 10 years and was let out in 2012 [Music] by sicilian tradition the mafia was structured along family lines sons followed their fathers into the life [Music] michael franzisi was at the top of it all passing himself off as a movie producer was really a tough violent mafia boss implicated in mafia murders going back to the 1970s i was about to meet one of the most successful mobsters of all time he was born into a powerful mafia family and into a life he's found difficult to leave behind [Music] on location in miami with the movie cry of the city michael franzis posed as a hollywood movie producer to launder huge amounts of stolen money his brilliance at inventing sophisticated scams made the mafia more than a billion dollars frenzies conned everyone it seemed apart from the fbi franzisi became celebrities in miami a miami bishop gave them a special blessing from the vatican and to the establishment of federal agents the mayor of miami beach gave franzia the key to the city then during this television interview he was asked the question he hadn't expected it brought his criminal life to an end the fbi says you're a member of the colombo mafia family like i said the fbi can allege and say whatever they like they've been doing it for many many years but what can i say that's the fbi that's lawrence franzis was indicted on 65 counts of tax evasion racketeering and grand theft but he did a deal and served only seven years in prison trevor michael how are you thank you very much for having us thank you thank you come on in today michael franzis lives with his family in california he has denounced the mafia although his father remains an important figure in the colombo crime family in new york michael by your own admission you were one of the most successful members in the costa nostra is it possible to find fulfillment in the straight life you know for me it was extremely difficult because i always tell people you know when you have a change or a transformation in life you don't get a lobotomy you know deep inside i still am who i am and who i was and so at times i still struggle with it i honestly do it for years i struggled with it especially making the break because i did feel for the longest time that i was betraying my former life betraying my oath uh betraying my dad and at times i still have those feelings strangely enough i don't know why but so is a difficult transformation and sometimes it's even difficult to maintain this new persona who i you know who i am now but that suggests that mentally psychologically you can't leave it behind in many ways i think you're right i mean mentally it's still a part of me and psychologically it is and my dad is still alive so he's still very much a part of my thoughts so it's i believe you're right in that respect it's it's still so much a part of who i am is it ever possible to be a member of the mob and have a happy family life i don't believe so i you know the people gotta understand the mob is not a business it's a way of life it's a whole subculture from everything else that exists it affects our families our friends people we do business with it's part of who we are and i have never never seen any family of any member of that life that hasn't gone through tremendous challenges and struggles as a result of that family of that person's membership in that life it's just not normal it's not normal having law enforcement scrutiny around you all the time it's not normal having you know pressure from guys on the street around you all the time remember those are the same people you bring into your home you know we're pretty clannish in that regard you know we hang out with our own members so you're around those people all the time the women speak to the wives of those people all the time they share all the difficulties and the challenges so uh it's it's i've never seen a normal family life from any member of that life including my own my father mother brothers and sisters we lived anything but a normal life as much as my parents tried it was impossible so being part of the mob and having a happy family life is simply not on no they they're not conducive to one another um you know i i would tell mob guys if i stay single you know don't bring this into your home don't create a home uh with the mob life uh you know around it it's not good so it's just not conducive to good family [Music] life authorities say the power behind franzisi the movie business is michael franzisi's father john sunny friends easy one of the top mafia bosses in the country who was released from prison just last month and met at the prison gate by his son michael the elder friends easy and his mob associates were the men behind the distribution of a number of sex and violence films including deep throat and texas chainsaw massacre michael's father john sunny franzis has achieved something of a cult status in the history of the mob he'd been sent down for 50 years for bank robbery four years ago at the age of 93 he was convicted again this time for racketeering after extorting money from a pizza restaurant and from a chain of strip clubs [Music] sunny frances is the oldest federal prisoner in the united states and must surely be the oldest living member of the mafia when cami met his son michael on the set of one of his movies she had no idea about the kind of family she was marrying into [Music] when you first dated michael could you describe the moment when you rarely discovered what his life was all about wow when i really discovered what his life really was all about we weren't dating anymore we were actually married so you know it was a few years later and i think i got a little i mean i knew there was something more to him because of all the attention he got and when we went to restaurants they would just take us right in and give us the best table and the best champagne so i mean you know he told me he was a businessman and he was a film producer and you know i just assumed that he was just very well liked and very popular um but just i think it started with his father when his father was ready to come home and i was in new york and i did read a few articles about you know sonny franzis the mob boss and his son michael frenzie so it started to but you know what what the mob was and what the mafia meant or whatever word that they used for it at the time didn't really mean a lot to me you know it really didn't like today you know my daughters heard that well yeah it would mean everything to them but for me i didn't really quite know what that meant and i didn't really ask i guess he just didn't want to know do you still worry about him today give him his former life and the risk that poses to his life today do you ever worry that he might he might be killed there was a time when um i worried about michael's own father you know when he said i'm going back to visit my dad in new york and i was i was probably more concerned then than i ever was because i didn't trust sunny i felt like sunny's first allegiance was to that family to the mob to the mob even with the expensive even the life of his son yes and i believed that and i was fearful of it and mike said you're crazy my father would never do that and i said well why wouldn't he are there still aspects of michael's past that cast a shadow on your present life i live with this man 29 years i sleep next to him i see him wrestling in his sleep you know and that and i know he says you know i still have remorse and i still feel pain about some of the things that i've done in my life and i guess when i'm asleep and i'm having these fits and these because sometimes i'll just be like what was going on last night and he said well i guess that's when it comes out you know when he's when he's sleeping when he's just not uh not sleeping peacefully he's dealing with all his demons from the past what one hears a lot about the glamorous side of the life of people who are working with the mob or in the mob you you're presenting the other side another side of stark reality which you saw it's ugly there's a lot of ugliness in it and people are like oh the mob is so glamorous and i'm like you know someone needs to really tell how glamorous this life is because it's not it's really not [Music] could it be that the mafia is capable of wielding such influence that a father might abandon his son to their revenge [Music] we don't acknowledge any governments there's this ideology that we do is right people gotta understand the mob is not a business it's a way of life it's part of who we are i think everybody in the world would love to be treated like a god well i was treated like a god the people i met were once true believers in a criminal religion today they're outcasts cut off from the life they were once prepared to die for [Music] i'm back in miami this time to meet someone who is still in the life it's a chance to find out how the mafia survives and operates today the man i'm about to talk to is a low-level street enforcer he's been in and out of prison all his life most recently on charges of racketeering [Music] we weren't allowed to say where we met him and we weren't allowed to show his face thank you very much for giving us so much of your time and thank you for allowing us to come here i wonder but i could begin by asking you this which crime family are you associated with banana cry family that's one of the five big families in new york yes it is i'm told that you are an enforcer an enforcer is somebody who goes and force the rules let's say you owe me money make sure that you paid it that first time i come nicely second time not so nicely would you ever go as fast as threatening to kill somebody you don't threaten to kill nobody i mean if they're gonna do it it's just done how much of that is still happening not much not much not much it's today it's a different world somebody gets in trouble nobody wants to do time no more you know it's the first one who cooperates with the agents gets the first gets the best deal it's a different world there's no loyalty no honor no more but the difficulty today is that you the difficulty is that you're playing hand to hand combat with the fbi agents today you know and today the the wars are so enforced it's just it's just hard to do with the technology the fbi has today and they're gonna get you is the mafia still good at recruiting people yeah yeah today it's it's it's like uh years ago it was you know you had to kill somebody and you had to uh you know be or be able capable to kill it was like you know becoming a green beret but today it's more like if you're a good earner you know can you trust anyone who can you trust you can trust the dead man it's the only person you could trust that's my motto i don't trust nobody except my mother you can't even trust the boss no more because they turn around and rat on you on my first case there was a guy who ratted was a made guy a captain and he didn't get indicted because he proffered and he was the big shot and he you know you can't trust nobody no more but enforcing still goes on of course and you would say the mafia is still alive and well in this part of the country there'll always be a mafia just like there'll always be uh the catholic church or the jewish religion they'll always be the mafia for more than a hundred years the mafia has been by far the preeminent crime organization in the united states even though its ranks have been thinned out its success has been built on a military-like structure and on devout loyalty nothing would more demonstrate this commitment than my final encounter with mikey scars i'd arrange to meet him at a cemetery where his elder brother robert is buried he worked for the mafia and the mafia killed him [Music] right over here leonardo try to let me introduce to my brother robin's beloved wife joanne how often do you get here mike uh i probably was here only three times in uh there's 14 years uh 12 years excuse me 12 years were you very close as brothers oh yeah very close we were different you know but uh i was more conservative he was more liberal guy easy going uh a good man good man good parent good father he died ironically uh 33 years today to this day thursday july 16th 1981. what was your first reaction on on hearing the news of your brother's death devastation uh you know your mind runs 100 miles away should i go load up start killing the people i think killed them uh you know my mother his wife his kids how to deal with all of that there's so many emotions going around in you and you're trying to act like a man you're trying to be strong you're trying to you're trying to be process this and get the right answer but what's the right answer you just lost your brother everything goes out the window but it comes back to the people that came and really not only schooled me put me in my place and threatened me that this is the life and you try to gather your emotions that's unnatural because you you want to grieve you want to get even i'm a criminal i'm a gangster industry i want to kill or kill my brother and here i am that i have to listen to older men who've experienced the same thing they need to be part of kozanosha in this life and accept it or die for it and i could have went and killed people that i thought were involved in this at that time i might have killed some of the wrong people but i would be dead and what would that have accomplished nothing nothing could justify killing somebody in that way as your brother was killed trevor this is the life this is the life we chose this is the life he chose the path and this is part of of the end result when you do something wrong in that life or alleged to do something wrong in that life your life is not your own your property of somebody you're probably of this entity this causes an ostrich that goes back hundreds of years your property of this and when you get involved there you know what could happen uh he killed people he was involved in murders and ultimately he paid the price that he doled out others despite the way you rationalize this how is it possible to remain part of the life when they're capable or when it's capable of doing such horrific things to you and those closest to you well that's the part about living the life with every fiber of your body and believing in that life and that
