Hey, Ryan. This thing's fabulous.
1:49:05
They're trying to make
a monkey out of him.
1:49:07
I hope they nail his ass
10 times over.
1:49:09
We're after headlines, for God's sake.
They're after votes.
1:49:13
So Genovese was your godfather.
1:49:18
Godfather is different.
1:49:21
When you...
1:49:23
When you go to the church,
you baptize a baby.
1:49:26
This is a godfather.
1:49:28
The sworn testimony
you just heard...
1:49:30
... came from the lips
of Joseph Valachi.
1:49:33
Lips supposedly sealed
more than 33 years ago...
1:49:36
... when he joined
the Cosa Nostra.
1:49:37
But today, before a nationally
televised Senate hearing...
1:49:41
... the 60-year-old convicted burglar,
dope peddler and murderer...
1:49:44
... talked in such a way
that he seemed to draw...
1:49:47
... the sympathy of the crowd
and the crime committee.
1:49:49
Valachi said he was talking
because he wanted to.
1:49:52
But it's possible that he is talking
to protect himself...
1:49:55
... from his syndicate boss,
Vito Genovese...
1:49:57
... who had ordered him killed
as an informer.
1:50:00
- But how safe do you feel?
- How I feel now? Right now?
1:50:03
How safe do you feel?
1:50:05
- Now, at this moment?
- Yes.
1:50:07
I feel fine.
1:50:09
How would you feel
if you were back in prison?
1:50:12
I would have to protect myself
against them, senator.
1:50:16
I would have to kill...
1:50:18
- ... or be killed.
- Now, would it be fair to say...
1:50:20
... that if you went back to prison
that you would be a dead man?
1:50:25
If they got to me, I wouldn't be
in prison five minutes.
1:50:29
- Two.
- Now here, we show you...
1:50:31
... the Genovese family,
broken down into its various units...
1:50:34
... demonstrating the wide range...
1:50:40
Listen carefully.
1:50:43
A hundred thousand dollars
for Joe Valachi.
1:50:57
Hold it.
1:50:58
You were fine. No fault of yours.
