I'm Leo Rossi. Do you remember seeing the movie Donnie Brasco? I sure do. And when I found out it was based on a true story, I said, how did this guy have the balls to do it? Well, you're going to find out because you're going to meet him.

Hi, I'm Joe Pistone, also known as Donnie Brasco. You'll hear the story of my six years undercover with the mafia this season.

Because you're going to find out the truth, not the bullshit. This is deep cover.

There's two things on the street you have to maintain. Your respect and your credibility.

If you lose either one of those, you're finished.

I get to Jilly's Club one day, and there were two guys there that I didn't know.

And I'm introduced to them as Frankie and Patsy, and they just got out of the can.

Frankie wants to have a sit-down, and they're going to back room. They locked the door. Now, that's not a good thing to them to lock the door. No, not a very good thing because, you know, you don't really have time to pick a lock when guys are either shooting at you or beat the hell out of you. So we sit down. Frankie takes out his pistola, puts it on the desk, and he says, Donnie,

if you don't convince me that you're as good at thief and you're straight, as Jilly says you are, the only way you're going out of this room is rolled up in that rug. But I look at the rug, and I say to myself, I hope it's fucking Persian. If you're going to go out, you might as go out to $50,000 rug, right? My whole thing

on undercover is, I'm not going to be on the defensive in conversations. I'm going to come out

and go on the offensive. So as we get up to go leave, I call cock Patsy. You laid him out?

I laid him down, yeah. Yeah. There were three capos that were not fans of Rusty Rustelli, who was the boss.

Who was in the can?

Who was in a can.

And they wanted to take over the family.

It was going to be a war at some point in time.

So what happened was that they called the sit down to say they wanted to iron out the differences.

When the three capos showed up at the location, Sunny Black and his crew killed him.

Sonny calls me and go to the motion lounge and going to the back room with him and he says,

I'm giving you the contract to kill Bruno.

We think he took off for Florida.

So, well, why don't you go down on Miami and look for him?
