The Mafia in New York! | Behind the Scenes | Full Length True Crime Documentary - Part 2

in New York City today they are still trying to figure out who wanted Joe Colombo dead carmine Galante was rubbed out today as he sat in a Brooklyn sermon in trench coats and fedora hats surrounded the car and in close range you compared killing someone to swatting the fly simple because if I didn't I could go for three months I travelled 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 so you put a gun to the back of his head and shot yeah it was my hit and I was gonna do a 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 do they come after you no nobody has maybe after they hear a testing week it's a life they may leave but can never entirely escape no 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 forever this is the life this is a life we chose this is the life he chose the path your life is not your own you probably of this entity is kosher Nostra that goes back hundreds of years [Music] I'm about to meet someone typical of those who enforce the Mafia's will on the streets his name is John elite he's also known as the sheriff and he's an accomplished killer john everyon a leech is referring to loser to Stephanie this was the day justice caught up with him in Brazil he'd been on the run for almost two years hiding out in 20 countries elite made millions for himself than for the mob the FBI offered him a deal his testimony against senior mafia figures in exchange for a shorter prison sentence he went down for 10 years recently released he now lives just outside New York in his sons apart hi friend of the family yep that's my son Johnny Hyde you you that you own this this is yours well right share he's the boss here is the boss yeah how does it feel to be living with your son I love it they're like my friends now so you know we play all day go work out together you know so it's uh it's good must be nice to have a relationship where you know you live with your son you get on together yeah yeah it's it really is after a lot of years you know when I look back and you know they were babies you know I missed a lot of growing up so you know we'll catch it up pal so it's a nice job what's it like living with your with your dad in the beginning it was it was difficult because growing up I never grew up with the man in the house so when he first came home there's a little bit of a butt of heads and it took me some adjusting and then him some adjusting to be able to live because he wanted to be the authoritative figure and then never had anybody really telling me what to do how much did you know about your father's life I kind of knew kind of you know you have that feeling you have that feeling where you kind of just know you could tell your dad is just that guy you know but like being a young kid you don't realize to the extent of it so then when you find out to the extent of it it's kind of like throws you back and you're like whoa he didn't know but he probably forgets you know I'd come to the house with four or five guys grab pistols we go take a ride he was a kid at the time maybe 7 years old and he's crying and he's saying daddy can I come with you I says come on we'll take it a quick ride instead of coming with us he ran in the house and he wasn't grabbed his water pistol so obviously did know subconsciously he knew what we were up to so you are you saying there were times when on your way to execute an order given by the family by the mob your son came with you he was there on a vacation or two yeah by accident we took a ride I ran into somebody I was supposed to hurt I left him in a call I went out I shot a guy I walked back in the car he heard the gunshots he goes what is that daddy I said that firecrackers don't worry about it and we got in a car and ambulances and police cars came and I used to joke with them you went on your first hit at 7 years old John do you remember anything of that water pistol story no I don't but what I do remember is the guys that were around the money that was around the cars that were around kind of that's why I think subconsciously that I do I did know or and I do think I got a shot did you hear the shot I don't remember I don't remember I really don't do you ever get accustomed to the life of hurting people I would be lying to you if I told you I'm an alcoholic with violence not with alcohol so the first thing I did for violence yeah you know while you were I was now I handle it I says you know I changed myself and I've proven over the years I've changed myself and every day is a struggle whole idea if I say if you said something wrong to me on the street and I didn't know you my first thought in my mind is hurt that guy and when you talk about hurting people what are we talking about here whatever it takes whether I have to kill that person to put him down whether I just baseball bat them while they punch him in and out in a jaw to mouth the nose but hurt him make sure that he's not gonna hurt me or my family unlike other members of the mafia who have cooperated with the government John elite has not entered the safe haven of the witness protection program instead he chooses to live out in the open accepting that one day someone could make him pay for his betrayal [Music] he now works in the construction business and spends time with sons who still live in the shadow of their father's past if somebody like you chose the wrong path and got into illegality somebody could easily say well yeah but then then also though if you want to be realistic about it you say somebody to the extent of everything that he's done why would I try and follow in somebody else's footsteps I get lost in his shadow I'll never overcome anything he's ever done or any of his accomplishments or any kind of crime he's committed or anything like that so any crimes any of the many crimes exactly so what's the point of doing it if I'm just gonna get lost in it and I know I if he got in trouble and he was for the most part for a little while the best at what he did so if he was what makes me think I could do it and what's the point at that you said an amazing thing that he was the best he was the best at what he did there's an element of admiration for a little bit yeah hundred percent did I admire him growing up and see what he did and watch those movies and you say wow like I would love to do that yeah but then when you do mature and you do get older and then you think about consequences that come with it illipe is reconciled to the fact that his deal with the FBI makes him a marked man he can do nothing to change that now so get a couple do you ever feel totally safe that nobody's after you nobody is coming to get you is that ever possible for you I always think that some ways everybody's possibly you know could go after you you know that's part of my life since I'm a little kid since I'm probably in the street sense of about 16 17 I live that way so nothing's changed as far as that I mean my issue was in if three guys are over there would have gone most guys that know me if the street guys they would have gone in at night I got you know I will deal with that you're not worried if somebody comes after you with a knife and a gun you feel you can you can deal with that it's like a ballplayer it's a professionally gets up at the plate he doesn't care was pitch and he gets up there with confidence the same thing with me if you tell me a couple guys you waiting for me I can handle that why would somebody want to put a gun to the back of your head now you know I have more than dozens of victims you know I bring that count over a hundred people you know guys tell you you've been involved in hurting kidding killing shooting patent batting stabbing yeah more than a hundred guys and you know guys talk that they did this they did that for the most part they they're full of [ __ ] and when you grow up in a street you know who's faking or was it you don't want a guys boisterous and he's full of [ __ ] I understand the wife so when you go out and heard as many people as I did you know you're gonna get hurt too like I told you I got hurt a lot of times had been stabbed baseball bat hit bite cause you know whether I like it or not it was my pass and it it could be my future however you cut it it's a it's a huge burden to carry around with you your past your past without a doubt I you know I use one of my son's friends these guys are innocent young kids having a good time when he goes home he puts his head on a pillow he can sleep south when I go home if somebody tells you to sleep and sound there's something wrong with them if they would we were doing you know when you're involved with what we were involving you don't sleep so yeah and I I don't believe any but it says they are I think they're lying for the next two years John must report to his parole officer once a week he must also stay clear of violence one other offense will send him back to prison for a long time [Music] it was almost a year ago but the bloody battle for power bikini had been shot several times in the head as he sat in this Park station why these kinds of scenes have been played out so many times in South Philadelphia it's like an old gangster movie the table for nine guests where 50 year-old Steve Boras and 54 year-old Janette Perot were shot was still cluttered with dishes and unconsumed food police say testa arrived and double parked his black Chevrolet and then went to his front porch apparently triggering the bomb when opening his front door Philadelphia has seen some of the worst of Mafia violence but when tensions sparked all-out war in the 1990s the FBI struck an extraordinary deal with a notorious gangster this is Ron privity the evidence he provided brought down the biggest mafia figures in the city I was taken to meet private a one morning by a member of his crew a one-time corrupt cop private a raked in millions with the mob but unlike other gangsters I admit I was puzzled about why he had not spent a single day behind bars he holds caught among

Allen to get a 22 automatic with a silencer I refuse to answer senator at the time of that Senate hearing in 1982 ralph natales stuck to his promise to respect the Mafia's code of silence he would serve a total of 28 years in prison this is the first time a former godfather of the Philadelphia mob has ever agreed to a television interview mr. natolly I'm Trevor McDonald my pleasure how you doing very good to meet you thank you for agreeing to see us mr. natolly did becoming a mafia boss live up to all your expectations I think everybody in the world would love to be treated like a god famous for 15 minutes in life they would almost throw anything well I was treated like a god because I made my own way I did what I wanted to do when you were a mafia boss you ordered a number of killings positively that meant that you had the power of life and death in your own hands how did you exercise that I didn't care about taking a man's life but he wanted to interfere with my life were to attempt to take my life or take what we had on the table our food or food meaning our money of love businesses and that's the only way we would you enforce things out of two things either love or fear love and get his shot it's a terrible thing when you know that another man but put a hole right in your head in a minute it's hard to do but a lot of lot of people it wasn't for me it really wasn't how did you sleep at night oh it's beautiful I sometimes I wonder well why don't I feel like people you know I'm will you ask me why don't I feel like somebody kill you you killed this guy who killed wanted the head of the Irish mob and when right boom beat bang why did you feel different he was my friend at one time until I knew what he wanted you kill your friend yes because he wanted to kill me he was trying to hire a guy to kill me simple take him off the count I'm still trying though to get at the emotion of somebody who has in his hands that power to kill that power of life and death well you know what I'm saying we had a guy in New Jersey some guy didn't show up and do what he's supposed to do it listen that there it's for two or three times he sent me an envelope with money that's a racetrack one of my men brought it here somebody said you know hey I said what's in their money I said you bring that back to him you tell him I want to see him I want to [ __ ] him about them he never showed and I sold this guy that guy I want him dead I want him dead now well two three weeks he still was breathing laughing having fun you know what I told him one week I'll be up they'll kill him if it ain't done within this week that's what I'm coming up boom three days later he was dead they were afraid my own people because I was man how did you deal with people who crossed you betrayed you betrayed me one man I gave a pass to win my life the rest of my kill simple did you keep count of the numbers no because that's when you you're sick you're sick then then you're a serial killer I'm not a serial killer why because you'll kill more than one your serial killer I didn't kill people because I got a thrill out of it what if I killed people because that was my life and it was his life simple if I said the name run private a to you or the big big fat rat that owes his life to me the young man and so he betrayed you yes the young man in Philadelphia wanted to kill him my property is a bunch of [ __ ] I saved the us don't you touch that man you what do you want to do kill everybody let's see what happened and he eventually turned on me for one reason I saved his life you around either I saved his life I returned to the question of how do you how do you sleep at night remembering having those mitosis memories I get up I go to the bathroom I take a piece out and get a peel and I go back I go to sleep what am I supposed to do say prayers for their souls [Music] the raids began before dawn and by the time they ended 110 alleged members of organized crime had been arrested in three states street forces under boss's consigliere Scavo soldiers and associates with nicknames like meatball Vinny carwash and Johnny bandana in the Mafia there are few certainties but most of its members know that one day the FBI will find them whatever they are called underboss William Willie fingers khatola showed up at the grand jury followed by a little a little lollipop karna signed in to appear at the grand jingle eeny is the son of imprisoned mobster Joseph chickie three years for Anthony Tony ducks Corallo 100 years for Anthony Fat Tony Salerno the penalty was death and quack quack knew it I was about to meet someone known as the yuppie dawn and one of the richest gangsters of all time his brilliance for inventing new scams netted the Mafia over a billion dollars but when the FBI arrested him things didn't go quite as expected other prisoners in the custody of US Marshals find themselves in handcuffs and leg irons watched by armed guards for seven thousand dollars a week in cash and a promise of millions and restitution later Francie's can live the good life of Beverly Hills and now some of his former mafia partners say he is pulled off his best con job ever on the United States government Michael how are you thank you very much thank you thank you Mario Franzese most successful job for the Mafia involved the setting up of the network of companies which sold gasoline across America then cheated the government out of the sales tax the authorities promised him leniency if he testified against his bosses but Franzese managed to avoid doing that and now lives comfortably in California see we have the view from up here oh wow and this is kind of my spot here where I do all my TV and everybody knows when I'm in here they don't cross that line unless there's an invisible line which they're not allowed to cross not really this bit is yours this is me I mean what did you actually do in your relationship with the authorities how did that work out yeah I I don't think I've ever said this before but I really led them down a primrose path making them believe that I would cooperate with them but never intending to cooperate and it was you know it was kind of a dance that I had to play for a while and they bought into it because they knew that I could have been a valuable resource for them I was you know I knew a lot of people and I I just played that game and used it until they really put me on the spot and wanted me to testify against a major figure who was also a close friend of mine and basically I refused and that's when I was violated my parole and thrown into the hole and they were pretty upset with me when you were living the mob life how how good was that you know listen I look I had my own jet plane at a helicopter I had a house in Florida at a 7,000 square foot house and in New York with a racquetball court and two acres of land at a house out here in Marina del Rey and I did whatever I pleased you made staggering amounts of money yes yeah we were at one point time I was pulling in close to ten million dollars a week ten million dollars a week ten million dollars a week it was you know we were defrauding the government at attacks on every gallon of gasoline and we were selling five hundred million gallons of gas a month at 20 30 40 cents a gallon that we were keeping so it was staggering amount of money and you know it became a problem at one point that what to do with the money so when you have that problem you know you're earning and what did you do with the money you know you know Trevor it's I mean some of what we put overseas some of it was in cash and always tell everybody I had a lot of expenses were you always pursued by people who felt that of all this money you made you you must have kept some of it Oh until today I have people I mean nobody would ever believe that I was broke didn't have any money I could never convince anybody that it's people I think the government still believes that I got money stashed all over the world I get questioned about it all the time guys in my former life a lot of people believe that they think that's the only reason I'm still alive because one day they're gonna find this money and and force me to give it up who knows and people say oh Mike you still have money buried somewhere and I said listen if it's there I doubt I'll ever get a chance to use it so what's the difference you know [Music] unlike the other mafia figures I've met Franzese has managed to build a successful new life here on America's west coast it's a far cry from his early days growing up on the streets of Brooklyn he'd been born into a Mafia family dropped out of medical school after two years and joined the mob following in his father's footsteps he became a member of the Colombo crime family and quickly rose up through the rats he was implicated in a vast array of crimes and made it onto the FBI's most wanted board his life in the Mafia came to an end when he was indicted on sixty five counts of tax evasion racketeering and grand theft [Music] [Applause] Michael agreed to show me what he does for a living these days it's a business venture underpinned by his newfound faith and belief and one to which he's committed his life [Music] [Music] no one is so bad that they can't be forgiven please give a warm harvest welcome to Michael Franzese [Applause] Michael is now a devout Christian he tours the country as a preacher charging anything from $5,000 per her parents he breaks the Mafia's code of silence every time he speaks about his life [Music] you know a lot of people call it the Mafia but here in America actually among those that are in it they don't call it the Mafia at all do they no one here it's it's La Cosa Nostra it means this thing of ours yeah and it's similar to the Mafia it's hard to believe that Michael Franzese now very public profile has not attracted the attention of his former colleagues what would people in the mob think about the life you now lead well most of the people pretty upset about it I mean I you know I still till today I get every once in a while the FBI will come to me and they'll tell me Michael be careful we're getting word from our informants you know your name is coming up a lot again people aren't happy with you so you know I think they just look at it as a betrayal and and that's it at this point if they feel that you've betrayed them what might their reaction be well I mean I've you know how to contract on my life I'll tell you where the blessing is from 80 the boss of my family Persico who was my boss at the time was now doing life in prison he was extremely upset when I walked away and if he were on the street I would be in trouble because I don't believe he would ever rest until I was a dead man but you know he's doing life in prison his son who took over the family at some point and had that same kind of feeling towards me he's doing life in prison so it's almost like all my enemies are either dead or in prison for the rest of their lives and it just worked out that way do you understand why people might be very skeptical about somebody who occupied such a senior place in the mob could now profess such a deep Christian faith well yeah I understand that you know and part of what I tell people you know if I was in the audience listening to me I don't know if I'd believe me either because it is it is a pretty fantastic transformation to be where I was and have the mentality that I had back then and to be transformed into what I believe now you know trouble when you come to Christ you don't get a lobotomy don't forget anything that I did on the street and I know I'm capable of doing it again but I fight hard against those feelings and that's how it's worked for me I may quite understand why you have changed as a person why do you feel the need to go around the country publicizing what what what this face has done for you you know I never this wasn't a plan of mine it just kind of happened i-i-i-i've I'm probably the most fortunate most blessed person that you can point to because honestly I should be dead or in prison for the rest of my life you spent 20 years on the street you are blessed if you can get out of that and have a transformation and you know and I don't forget that I remember that almost daily [Music] Michael's transformation has given him the trappings of a comfortable existence but his family knows they'll never totally escape the shadow of his former life [Music] you could kill somebody business and go either just as callous as that that's what cosa nostra is if you have a conscience you're in trouble you guys talk that they did this they did that for the most part they're full of [ __ ] I have more than dozens of victims I bring that count over 100 people in his 25 years in the Mafia John elites life was scarred by violence he says he's trying to put behind him the memory of those he killed and the many more he hurt but how does a man brutalized by what he's done adjust to a normal life John is taking me to meet someone who helps him keep out of trouble and stay out of prison what do you think your friends in the Mafia would have thought if they knew you were seeing and confiding to some extent in a therapist a lot of guys in the life a dummy so you know they're morons they would think you're talking about actual crimes and something because they wouldn't understand how that therapy works and it's not the case you're more so talking about your personality and issues that control your personality or your thoughts you found it useful to see him yeah very useful when I was under stress that were obsessed on illness for some reason and not really what was that hand which was the violence that was going on in the street so who was it it was kind of crazy what I was thinking instead of worrying about shootings and killings and getting killed and who you killed I would redirect my thoughts to something ridiculous as a flow saying oh excited to read that because I guess I didn't want to deal with you know the reality of what was really on my mind a couple of times a week the leaf sees his therapist you know the drill certainly do how did you approach a therapy session with somebody who'd had such an extraordinary violent life the first thing I wanted to know was what his experience was in prison and when I learned that he had been in isolation for so many years I knew immediately he'd have to have suffered from post-traumatic stress it's it's strange to hear you talk like that because I would have thought the first concern of yours would have been not so much his isolation in prison but what he'd done to get himself there well I had to learn about his coping skills because if I'm going to work with him I have to know how did he deal with the worst because he's got if he's out here and he wants to go straight which he's made very clear to me I need to know okay what are your coping skills when something really bad is going to happen that you hate how are you going to handle that were you always surprised that a person with such a violent past but such a amazingly horrific past would come to someone like you absolutely and I'm amazed that that he could even do that because I don't know I really don't know that person see he bring I see the heart of John not the horror I see what I call the heart of him not his shadow is it possible for you to say whether John has actually managed to turn his life around so far yes I can say that so far but as far as the future I'm no fortune-teller I don't know what anyone's future will be I don't know if there's a trigger that he won't be able to hold so I can't predict but I can tell you so far absolutely yeah [Music] 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 person's membership in that life at 12 years old I wanted to be a captain again be no family that was my goal not to be a lawyer not to be a president United States or to be captain again be no fair because that's what I idolized when I go home if somebody tells you to sleep and sound there's something wrong with them if they were doing what we were doing [Music] those days have gone I ruined that years ago I can't get that back first long as he could remember John illy dreamed becoming part of the Mafia his story is typical of many young men who come from neighborhoods like these what that's where you grew up yeah right through me here's all my friends lived on this block in the back on a corner my childhood friend used to live in this house so this is very much your area yeah this is my area this is this brings back some memories we ran these streets day and night from little kids as has good kids and we ran them as we got there - what are your reflections John when you come back to this place today oh so many memories good in bed and just I love being here you just feel like you're back home it was it always a breeding ground for mafia crime oh yeah as a kid everybody in this neighbor was involved with the streets so I was educated here more in the mob life and the street life then then anything legitimate do you remember the first time you cross the line into the world of crime depending on what you're talking about if you're talking about the line the line of crime of violence as far as hurting somebody I was very young as far as shooting somebody I was probably about 20 at the time a 19 or 20 or so baseball batting 1617 that started what was the incident when you shot somebody at the age of 19 or 20 retribution was one of my other friends getting shot so I just went back and shot a guy that shot one of my friends you know it was everyday it was it wasn't like anything specific a guy goes to work every day and he delivers milk we went to work every day and hurt somebody shot somebody who killed somebody it was nothing you get used to it after a while it was it was nothing but a regular day routine at work today John rarely comes back to the streets he once control he has no reason to do so and the risk of reprisals remain Elite accepts that as the cost of attempting to change his life around his life of crime afforded him the luxury of millions in his early 20s now at 52 he has to start again [Music] these images conjure up a picture of what life could could be for you on the good side but it also talks about the horror of being in prison and on the run I about this no I never read the small print because when you read the small print it's not all what it's cracked up to be you watch kids out on the street today they see me and some of them understand a little bit about the life to a family through friends and they have a diluted version of it or they see me say well gee sees a nice guy because they only see me on a surface they don't see the other side of me when I was killing and hurting people on a regular basis and they can't really picture it because they weren't there you wish you could take that kid and tell you he'd watch the other side of me if you think I'm such a nice guy and watch me butcher this guy and then understand stay away from this life because it's [ __ ] so you tried you wish you can teach you this is a shortcut to help you're gonna live a good life and then you're gonna suffer like no one's ever suffered before you're in solitary confinement guys can't do three weeks in solitary confinement I spent almost a decade locked down a 23-hour lockup but when you came out to a prison like that did you consciously decide to take another course in life or did you think I must be more careful and not get caught when I'm sitting in that cell in Brazil and everybody's turning on me and I'm getting word through smuggled phones and violent myself in a jail to survive and I'm saying to myself I still believe in this somewhere in my mind I'm believing in something and I'm getting phone calls well your two cousins testified against you your other cousin testified against you two business partners testified against you and you start saying where is all this loyalty obviously I believed in the Gambino family which is a joke those same guys I didn't see them given an envelope to my kids mother was my wife where was that envelope product for my children to live well once guys are still in my nightclub money where's that guy that's supposed to shoot him in a head because I'm still in that life where are they they tell me things are too hot they hang up phones on me they steal my money they didn't steal ten dollars they were stealing millions and then I started realizing when I came back into the States and I got the full paperwork how many guys turned on me and I says well this life's over and I believed in something that didn't exist and and I learned to turn by cheeking and go the other way and live like everybody else does like a normal human being and enjoy life the right way can you ever leave that life entirely behind you can you ever reach a stage where it doesn't in any way impinge on your life now no I don't think you can I believe it entirely yeah you know I can use any a doctor is always gonna be a doctor when retired as a ball plays always gonna be a ball playing when he ties that gangsters always gonna be a gangster but because I quit doesn't mean the rest of the world quit and whether I like it or not that pass is gonna follow me I just got to deal with it the correct way now [Music] for more than a hundred years the Mafia has always succeeded in seducing young men into its cells tonight in New York City it's
