Maxi - Il grande processo alla mafia

The Boss of the Two Worlds (1x2)

:

After the arrest of Michele Greco, the big bosses who have been controlling Palermo for years begin to show up in the courtroom. The first one is Pippo Calò, known as "the Mafia's Cashier": he is the first to defend himself against contesting the accusations of Tommaso Buscetta, "the Boss of the Two Worlds" and the trial's most awaited protagonist. His deposition (April 3, 1986) is a key moment of the trail, expected with bated breath by all protagonists - starting with the popular judges, among which there is Filomena, a 60-year-old teacher who lives the process with particular apprehension. Meanwhile, Gianni is slowly settling in Palermo, and is happy with his work. Teresa, on the other hand, seems always worried, her head elsewhere. To better tell the horrors of which Mafia is capable, Franco brings Gianni to Corleone to realise a TV service about the fiefdom of the last two great fugitive bosses, Totò Riina and Bernardo Provenzano. During the trial, Buscetta's statements open a gash in Cosa Nostra secrets, and the process seems to take a turn in favour of the prosecutors. All defence lawyers, including Marsalis, decide to change their strategy: he discloses to Franco that they will challenge directly Buscetta in court, by asking a direct confrontation with him. But Franco also has other things to think about, because of an unexpected postcard from Corleone found in his car.
