Prima puntata (1943 - 1958)
Palermo, January 15, 1993. Salvatore Riina (Claudio Gioè), head of the Cosa Nostra, has been arrested and is visited in prison by his childhood friend, Biagio Schirò (Daniele Liotti).
In 1943, at the age of 13, Riina is working in the fields around the town of Corleone when he finds a buried bomb. His father decides to take the bomb home, because he wants to extract the gunpowder from inside to sell it to hunters. He is a laborer and his meager income is no longer enough. The bomb explodes, killing the father and the younger brother, Ciccio, leaving Salvatore as the head of the family.
Tired of living in poverty, Totò, together with his friends Bernardo Provenzano (Salvatore Lazzaro), Calogero Bagarella (Marco Leonardi) and Biagio Schirò, starts working for Luciano Liggio, Picciotto of the boss Michele Navarra, who in the meantime orders the kidnapping and murder of Placido Rizzotto. Shortly afterwards, Totò gets into a murderous fight with Menico, the son of a miller to whom he sells his grain, and ends up in prison.
