Another chance to see the Timewatch that tells the extraordinary story of one of the war's most secret alliances - between the US Naval Intelligence and the Mafia.

The pact, denied for 50 years, was begun on the New York waterfront and sealed in the mountains of Sicily. Now the key players speak for the first time about the deal uniting US Intelligence with "Lucky" Luciano and Don Calo Vizzini - the most feared Godfathers of their day. Today in Palermo, Sicily, the Mafia's number one target, Leoluca Orlando, lives with the tragic legacy of this unholy alliance.
