Why Did Frankie Five Angels Betray Michael Corleone?

You won't Believe How Hyman Roth TRICKED Frankie Five Angels into Betraying Michael Corleone? What REALLY happened to Frankie Five Angels... | Using the Rosato Brothers Why Frankie "Five Angels" Pentangeli Betrayed the Corleone Family & Michael Corleone? The HIDDEN Secret Behind Frank Pentangeli aka Frankie Five Angels| In the Godfather 2, Michael Corleone was put in an impossible situation, where his former Capo regime and close associate Frank Pentangeli, was going to appear before the senate and be a witness against the family. What REALLY Happened to Frankie Five Angels? You won't Believe what REALLY happened to Frankie Five Angels... However, just before Frankie was to testify, Michael appears with someone clearly related to Frank. And so, Frank was shocked and then changes his entire testimony in order to not convict Michael. But the question we all want to know, is why? Why did frank suddenly change his mind? And how was Michael able to miraculously survive this seemingly impossible to escape trap?
What REALLY Happened to Frank Pentangeli aka Frankie Five Angels?
After all, Frank truly thought Michael betrayed him, and if he didn’t cooperate, he would be the one facing prison time and even worse. So why did he basically save Michael and thereby the entire Corleone family? And what exactly did Michael do to achieve this?
At this time, Michael was trying to convince the public that he was just a honest businessman and investor, and was working on removing any and all accusations that surrounded the Corleone family. This was so he would succeed in his mission to make the Corleone family actually legitimate. However, following a clever plot orchestrated by Hyman Roth, Michael is now at risk of losing everything, as Hyman was able to make Pentangeli appear before the senate, and testify against Michael, in which would mean the end of the Corleone family.
His bodyguard is longtime soldier Willi Cicci. In The Godfather Part II, Frank Pentangeli is portrayed as having been one of godfather Vito Corleone's (Marlon Brando) most trusted associates. A rift grows between Pentangeli and Michael, however, that eventually results in Pentangeli betraying the family.
We will reveal in this video, exactly Why and How Michael was able to force Frank into changing his testimony, as well as exactly who that man was, and give you the most important context behind all this. Unveiling the mysterious origins of Frankie Five Angels, his dispute with the Rosato brothers, the secret that ties in all the missing pieces you have never realized existed and perhaps more importantly how this masterclass in the game of power relates to our real world. And perhaps how it can help you in your own life? Understanding these concepts will change the way you view history You will also truly comprehend the entire backstory and context that will completely enhance your entire perception of these characters and the film as a whole...
A Lot of you have been asking for this one.
So, sit back, relax and let’s get into it! 👀🍿

Compared to Vito's reign, Michael's was so chaotic!... I'm glad it was Frankie and not Clemenza that had to off himself, it's great to remember Clemenza as loyal and lovable to the end ..

[@skydiverclassc2031]

Consider that most of Vito's reign is off camera and prior to part I.

[@Clonetrooper1139]

Michael reigned in a different era than his father. America, post WWII, was shedding it's "innocence". This was exemplified by the fact that one of Vito Corleone's oldest friend's, Salvatore Tessio, a man Vito considered a brother, would be the one to try to have his friend's son assassinated. Michael's reign was more chaotic, because the landscape he traversed was more vicious and bereft of honor. I also think Michael was a man that was tempered by his experiences. His wife Appollonia, died by betrayal. Michael never really recovered from that. It made him cold and detached.

[@RobBCactive]

Vito is shown as back story, Michael's as undecided, your sentiments about Clemenza show you were hooked into siding with ruthless crooks by the screenplay's artful technique. In the book Santino didn't trust Clemenza's men until he knew the traitor was Tessio.

[@OrestesKyriakosPoulakis]

[@ourthing1312]

It's beacuse crime was Vito's choose, Michael's life circumstances "insterted" him in Mafia. Michael sailed into criminal waters too suddenly, he didn't build everything from scratch like Vito.

[@gandalfgreyhame3425]

Frank Pentangeli was created for Godfather II because Richard Castellano, who played Peter Clemenza, got into a dispute with Coppola about the character arc that was planned for Clemenza in the second movie, insisting that Clemenza would never rat out the Corleones to the Feds and testify, and according to Coppola, felt so strongly about this that he wanted the right to make changes to the dialogue for his character written into his contract (their dispute was not about money). So Coppola had to scratch out Castellano from the second movie and create this new character.

[@pamelamays4186]

I liked the scenes in Godfather 2 where Frankie slips Anthony a hundred dollar bill and tells him to not tell his parents, and where Frankie slickly gives Anthony a teaspoon of wine.

[@BadgerBJJ]

They locked up Sam Giancana for contempt of Congress after pleading the 5th in a Congressional inquiry. The 5th wouldn’t necessarily protect Michael. I think what changed, is that the Don was a Sicilian. The family was becoming American. Michael was American. Frankie’s brother was reminding him they were Sicilians. Not American. They honored Omertà even when betrayed by their boss.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

Pleading the 5th doesn't erase evidence or testimony of others only yourself adding to it. Sam also didn't plead the 5th he was granted immunity to testify and refused. His brother was unlikely reminding him they were Sicilian but rather loyalty? He started something a Don in Sicily and is going to see it through even though leaving would benefit him financially to have moved to america. His brother never spoke except to Tom and Michael. What he got Frank to realize you don't betray your oath no matter what. The sight of his brother a stoic loyal man is what did it he never uttered or even mouthed a word to Frank. As for who betrayed who that is very confusing without the Michael Corleone says hello line. What's strange there is that was not part of the script, it was ad-lib.

[@BadgerBJJ]

Congress granted Giancana immunity AFTER he plead the 5th. They claimed self-incrimination was no longer an issue and charged him with contempt of congress. "Loyalty" is irrelevant. As Michael pointed out, it's business and these are business men. What Sicilians DONT do, is violate their oath of Omerta, or talk to the goverment. Think of the opening scene between the undertaker and the Don... The Don was talking about the Sicilian way of friendship and obligation, but the undertaker tried the American way of law and order (and got no justice). Now apply that same logic to Frankie... The entire movie is about the Corleone family's assimilation as Ameircans and the ultimate destruction of that dream. @@cardinaloflannagancr8929 they D

I always found it very interesting that Michael's attorney, Tom Hagen was on the FBI's Organized crime families org. chart as Consigliere but never was cited as an accessory and not cross examined himself by the government, or not permitted to represent them?..very interesting. As far a Pentangeli was concerned, as soon as he saw his brother, who was looking at him like: what are you doing bro?? it was over! Michael in fact pulled his last and only desperate but well calculated move he could pull. But with his strong connections in Sicily, in all reality this should not have been such a huge surprise. "Never underestimate the capabilities of your opponent".. Always loving the content CM!

[@TheDon62]

It’s a slippery slope for the FBI, given that Tom wasn’t Sicilian and not an official member of the family, his label of consigliere couldn’t REALLY be proven and would rightly be considered a stretch by people who had a base understanding of the mob.

[@kemperboyd1209]

Nah. That wasn't it. You're wrong.

[@citypopradioFM]

I always perceived that scene as Frankie seeing his Sicilian brother to shame him from testifying. His brother looked at him heartbroken, as a guest of Michael, and in those days especially with Sicilian men in the life, Frankie would've shamed his entire family if he testified to the Senate like that.

I have always known and understood pantangelis hatred for the rosoto brothers was key in Roths plot against Michael as their hate for Frankie was mutual, however I’ve always disagreed that his plot was for Frankie to testify against Michael. Frankie was supposed to get whacked in that bar. There’s no way Roth knew a cop was going to walk in during the hit and that Frankie would live and flip. Coincidental luck imo. I believe Roth pitched the whole thing to the rosotto bros as a hostile takeover and only mentioned Michael while strangling Frankie as a final fuck you before he died. Just my take

[@MoneyMayle1]

This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Absolutely phenomenal work.

[@JohnMoog-ug6bk]

1. Are you implying Rosato purposely left Pantangeli alive to further Roth’s plot, that it wasn’t just because the cop walked by? 2. Based on Pantangeli’s backstory here, new to me, didn’t Michael forget another important principle: if Frankie would betray Mariposa he would betray the Corleones? 3. Are people convinced Roth orchestrated the whole plot to avenge Moe?

[@georgeolschewski4651]

Re: question 2- That touches on Law of Power #2 mentioned in a previous video. "Keep a close eye on your friends - they easily become envious and resentful, and will undermine you. In contrast, if you promote an enemy, he’ll be more loyal than a friend in an effort to prove himself." In the end, Frankie proved his loyalty to the family (not saying Vito, Clements, & Tessio didn't have their eye on him keeping your point in mind) by being a good, intelligent earner, and worthy of promotion to caporegime when Clemenza died.

[@Big_Al_the_Greek]

Another great episode. I really love your series. It's better than movies. Could you please make an analysis about the Power of my favourite Godfather, the Great, Don Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, on whom Don Giuseppe Mariposa is based? Joe the Boss, was the most Powerful gangster America has ever seen. He was the one who kept alive the crushed Morello Borgarta. He was the one, who by the mid 20s, had overpowered the official Capo dei Capi, Don Salvatore D'Aquila and the outsider kingpins, like the j#w, Arnold Rothstein. Frankie Yale as his caporegime. In the "Gold Year", 1928, it was Masseria who gave the ok/order to Al Capone, for having Yale whacked, because the 2nd had stole Capone's liquor. The Boss ordered Yale's death, because he had switched sides to D'Aquila. As a reward for Yale's hit, Capone got made a caporegime in the Masseria Family and had the authority by the Don, to himself made 10 soldiers, that's why he was reffering as "capodecina" or "capo dei decina". July, Yale got killed, October, D'Aquila and November, Rothstein, in order to fully dominate the Tammany Hall (the Boss gave the job to Dutch Schultz). In December, Don Giuseppe Masseria, got finally enthroned as the Capo dei Capi. He was now controlling, except from his own Family (who was the biggest in the country, aparted by at least 600 soldiers), the former D'Aquila now Mineo (Gambino) Family, the Reina (Luchesse) Family, the Chicago Outfit (according to an FBI file of the statement of Milwaukee informant, August "Augie" Maniaci, Capone was giving Masseria huge paymnents for Protection due to his conflict with Godfather Giuseppe Aiello-he wasn't afraid Aiello, but his compares across the country, the Castellamareses, so Masseria was keeping thing in line, so the two Chicago gangsters were fighting by their forces, without real support by allies). Joe the Boss was also having control over Clevelant, Detroit (partly), Florida and other cities across the country. His networth was estimated to 70 BILLION DOLLARS in today's money. Like New York Police had reported for Masseria: "He was the King of fish (meaning his dominance over the lucrative Fulton Fish Market), wine and booze. He was a force, mysteriously even to his countrymen, way bigger than the names who are in the papers. He was the Bigger of them all. Bigger than Al Capone. Not even a slice of spaghetti was getting sold, without him taking tribute". Police was afraid that after the Boss's murder, there was gonna be a war, like nothing New York had seen, which would had burnt the city. Of course, we know that it was an "inside job", orchestrating by Masseria's beloved protege and chief lieutenant, Salvatore Lucania, aka Charlie "Lucky" Luciano. The assassins, were not the "infamous four", Genovese, Adonis, Anastasia and Siegel (with Ciro Terranova as the scared driver-such a rediculous story), but Johnny "Silk Stockings" Giustra and his right-hand man, Carmelo Liconti, both Brooklyn waterfront racketeers, connected with Vincenzo Mngano, who was responsible for the security during the dinner in Coney Island (it was his territory-like the "Tessio thing"). Mangano was part of Luciano's cabal, later rewarded by becoming the boss of his Family. They had arranged this duo for the contract, because they weren't very tied to Masseria, so, if something went wrong, it would had been more believable to the Family, that they had sided with Maranzano. This wasn't a regular contract. Joe the Boss, was the most Powerful Godfather in the whole country. It was needed a way bigger motive than a heavy envelope. They had promised them, a bigger piece of the waterfronts. The hit was succeeded. The restaurant owner, Gerardo Scarpato, was also in the plot, but after realising in what he had participated, he was so scared for the Vendetta by the Masseria loyalists, that he gave the Police his fingerprints, in case they found him dead. Giustra and Liconti, maybe had got the job done, but they had left evidences behind. The Police was suspecting them, but that wasn't their problem. The Masseria soldiers, knew that both the three men were involved in their Godfather's murder. Luciano, and his cabal, knew that if the soldiers would had found out the conspiracy, they all would had been in the barrels. So, the "greaving for Masseria" Luciano, gave the order to avenge the Boss and punish the traitors-assassinos. May 10, 1931. Giustra and Liconti were called to Manhattan, to "resolve a territorial dispute". It was a set-up. They both would have been killed there and then, but Liconti had car trouble and was late to the appointment. The body of Giustra, was found riddled with bullets. When Liconti learned of Giustra's death, he nervously went in hiding, but not for long. His corpse was discovered in the Hotel Paramount on July 9. He had been choked and stabbed to death. The 3rd in the "Joe the Boss Avenging List", was the weasel-restauranteur, Scarpato. He was so scared, that he had left US with his wife, going to Italy. However, for unclear reason, the stronzo returned in New York the next September and of course, got caught by the Boss's "Crusaders". They let's say, used all their art on him and after finishing the "painting", they put him (whatever had left from him) in a sack. Luciano was so "Lucky" (and this time), to pretend the Man of Honor the very right moment, before Don Masseria's "artists", putted him in their "gallery"!!! Thank you in advance!!!

[@nathanbaker8757]

The way Tommasino took care of Michael in Italy most likely its Tommasino.

@@johnlueck7606 haha lol love Neri he's sick af!

[@djozone]

@@nathanbaker8757 That makes a ton of sense fr... I was thinking Barzini could be Fredo's godfather, done as a peacemaking gesture, but that's probably a bit farfetched😅... More than likely Tessio..

Luca Brasi 😴 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡

[@vinceyoung5912]

We just assume Michael didn’t suffer from the war. He was a Marine. Maybe Vito pulled strings to keep Michael safe. I think that would’ve been unwise. It would shatter trust between them.

[@Dikomanis]

His surname comes from greek words "πέντε" + ""άγγελοι" means "Five Angels"

[@jasonbodine6033]

Tom would never have been able to get to see Frankie. It would not be allowed in a real life situation.

[@1000Gamernerd]

Uh yeah. It's a movie.

[@516estrela]

These visuals are too fast. I thought it was sped up. Great content tho❤

[@dcboi202]

Where is this footage from?

[@Wyrmwould]

I used to be really bothered about why the hitman says "Michael Corleone says hello" when he attempts to strangle Frankie. After all, why say it if he is just going to die? But now I just assume that he said it just in case Frankie lived. Nothing more complicated than that. By the way, what is the movie from which all those scenes were taken? It looks like a Godfather movie that I have never seen.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

I think the same way on that the line makes no sense no way that hitman expected to be caught half way through a garroting. The line was actually ad-lib I'd like to see what the actor was supposed to have said or how different the second half of the movie was to be. That can happen in movies but this doesn't seem to be one that would totally change midway into filming. For example a movie this did happen on total redo pretty much on the spot was caddyshack. If you can believe it the original movie was a love story starring Danny and Maggie. As we saw that sure wasn't how it ended up.

[@prestigeworldwide5682]

I feel like we barely know about the Rosato Brothers

[@miguelservetus9534]

Michael misjudged Pentangeli. He needed to cultivate the relationship so when others lied to Frankie, his trust In Michael would not have been eroded. Frankie was not an enemy till Michael’s lack of trust endangered his life. Also, why did Vito trust Frankie after he betrayed his don.

[@DBates-nr4ec]

I hate how Family Corleone totally contradicts The Godfather in how Luca Brasi is described physically. Puzo clearly describes him as short and squat. But Family Corleone describes him as some huge beast of a man.

[@Luminousgrin]

If they were going to kill Frankie in the bar, why would they have to trick him into thinking Michael wanted him dead? He would have been dead if the officer didn't show up.

[@pamelamays4186]

How'd get Frankie's brother to America so fast? They didn't have jet airplanes in those days!

[@georgeolschewski4651]

My guess? Michael was playing the odds and once he got wind of Frankie's pending testimony, he made arrangements to have Vincenzo brought to America, not just as an influence to remind Frankie of his oath of omerta (as alluded to in the video), but a not-so-subtle hint to Frankie that his brother and his other family members could pay the price if Frankie talked, even though family members not in the business were typically left alone.

Anyone would think this youtuber knows and understands the rules of power so well he would have no need for a youtube channel

[@maralinekozial9131]

Why is Don Mariposa doing all this stuff during the olive oil war in this video on ur channel but in a older video u have Don Maranzano as the one doing all of this same stuff???? I didn't read the novel so im curious to know which one actually did everything in this video & which one didn't!!!! Please explain , was it Mariposa or Maranzano???

[@DaveReece-u4b]

It was Mariposa

[@TwistedGentlemen]

A thought I once had when watching the Godfather was that Frank Pentangeli killed Moe Greene

[@nathanbaker8757]

It could have been,we don't see the man's face,some people think it's Fredo,no way.

[@edsonestrada8759]

What i don't get is how did Roth expect Frank to betray michael if he was supposed to die? Also fun fact: Franky's strangulation scene is based off Larry Gallo. Larry survived a strangulation attempt at the Sahara Club when a police officer intervened.

[@mg19cal]

It's not a Culture Mafia video without mentioning Don Mariposa👍👍

[@faash41]

Please explain what really happened to the Senator Pat Geray in part II because didn't understand the plot twist

[@jondstewart]

At the beginning, he made it clear to Michael he’s an ole southern racist redneck that disapproves of the Italian people and the Sicilian Mafia in general and that he will make Mike’s life difficult for him to further his goals and power. Shortly afterwards while Michael is dealing with Roth and the Rosatto brothers, Geary visits a brothel unknowingly run by Fredo and framed for the murder of a prostitute by drugging him first and Al Neri killing her. She’s without a family and that works in his favor, but he spends the night at the Corleone compound at Hagen’s request. So with that held over his head, he becomes friendly with the Corleone’s in Cuba and speaks on Michael’s behalf at the senate hearings. But he walks out and has another engagement to go to. After that, I have no idea. But certainly not on Michael’s hit list as long as he at least remains cordial with him.

No disrespect but doesn't Mariposa translate to Butterfly in Spanish?

Trafficked the Frank of five angels to the bid within enemy lines. So they could basically do away in front of everyone named Angelito. The fellow dons of omertà.
