About this episode

This episode explores the criminal activities of Richard Kuklinski and his downfall due to greed and loose talk.

By the early 1980s, Richard Kuklinski had supposedly killed dozens of men for the New York Mafia. And with his boss Roy DeMeo dead, he was operating entirely on his own terms. But when ATF agent Dominick Polifrone began building an undercover identity inside New Jersey's criminal world, Richard's own greed and loose talk would bring him down.
