UPCOMING EPISODES

In the worst case of police corruption in NYPD history, two decorated cops, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, betrayed their badges and moonlighted as hitmen for the Mafia. Eppolito was born into the mob life, with a father and uncle who were heavy hitters in the Gambino crime family. But instead of following his relatives into the Mafia, Eppolito decided to take a job on the police force. It was there that he met Stephen Caracappa and the two became partners. The combination would prove deadly when the two were recruited by Lucchese family underboss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso to provide confidential information and carry out hits.

In the 1980's, Tommy `Karate' Pitera grew to be one of most violent made men of all time for the ruthless, drug-peddling Bonanno crime family. A meek and retiring child from Gravesend, Brooklyn, Pitera was often picked on and ridiculed. He turned to the Japanese martial arts, and `Tommy Karate' was born. With new-found strength, Tommy joined the Bonnano family as first, an enforcer, and then, a hitman. The former Gravesend pushover took to his job with a meticulous relish, studying the art of killing and body disposal. Before long, he became a made man with his own crew of drug runners, raking in cash by the thousands.

During the 1970s, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso rose through the ranks of the New York Mafia to become underboss of the Lucchese family, raking in millions of dollars through elaborate scams and killing anyone who got in his way.
