فرانك بانتانجيلي يتراجع عن شهادته | العراب الجزء الثاني

More people than a ball game in here. Hey, there's Willie Ciase.

This committee will come to order.

State your name, please. Frank Pentangeli.

And where were you born? Porto Rico. It's outside of Palermo.

And where do you live now? I live, uh, in an Army barracks with the FBI guys.

We have here, finally, a witness that will further testify to Michael Corleone's rule over a criminal empire that controls all of the gambling in this country, and perhaps in other countries.

This witness has had no buffer between himself and Michael Corleone.

He can corroborate our charges on enough counts for this committee to recommend a charge of perjury against Michael Corleone.

Senator. Thank you, Chairman.

Mr. Pentangeli. Mr. Pentangeli, were you a member of the Corleone family?

Did you serve under Capo regime, Peter Clemenza, under Vito Corleone, also known as the Godfather?

I, uh, I never knew no Godfather. I have my own family, Senator.

Mr. Pentangeli, you, uh, you are contradicting a sworn statement you've previously made to me and signed. I ask you again, sir.

Here and now under oath, were you at any time a member of a crime organization headed by Michael Corleone?

I don't know nothing about that. Oh. I was in the olive oil business with his father, but that was a long time ago, that's all.

We have a sworn affidavit. We have it, your sworn affidavit, that you murdered on the orders of Michael Corleone. Do you deny this confession, and do you realize what will happen as a result of your denial?

Look, the FBI guys, they promised me a deal.

So I, so I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone, 'cause that's what they wanted.

But, but it was all lies. Uh, everything.

And I kept saying, uh, uh, Michael Corleone did this, and, uh, Michael Corleone did that.

So I said, uh, "Yeah, sure. Why not?" Mr. Corleone, would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left?

I can answer that. His name is Vincenzo Pentangeli.

Is he related to the witness? He is, I believe, his brother.

Will he come forward and be sworn, sir? Sir, this man does not understand English.

He came at his own expense to aid his brother in his time of trouble.

He's not under subpoena, and his reputation in his own country is impeccable.

Are you saying he knows nothing about these matters?

To my knowledge, nothing. I'm gonna find out what the hell happened here.

All right, this committee is now adjourned. The witness is excused.

Take him out. Senator. Senator. Counselor.

This committee owes an apology. This committee owes an apology. Apology, Senator.

L'onore della famiglia sta a posto. Sta a posto.
