Frankie Potts Files - Week Eleven Intrigued by Frankie's new street connections, Eddie Scarpa devises a plan. Falcone family accountant Harvey is a master counterfeiter. Under Eddie's orders, Frankie aids Harvey in printing a stack of fresh "cash" which they use to make an illegal deal with the Bombers. With the bogus money's serial numbers, the Falcone family is able to track down the suppliers. The trail of cash leads to a local gang called the Greasers. Unfortunately, Frankie has a hostile run-in with one of Eddie's closest allies, an up-and-comer named Joe Barbaro, who may prove to be a threat.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Ten Frankie receives bad news from his handlers at the Bureau: his whole operation has been officially cut off from all authorization. Freed from official scrutiny, his only mission is to create chaos among the gangs. On his own initiative, Frankie heads into the area controlled by the Bombers street gang. He befriends Eric, a beatnik lowlife, who helps him establish contacts on the street.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Nine At the Cathouse, Frankie overhears gossip about a building feud between Empire Bay's three major families. Clemente knows that someone stole his contraband - but he doesn't blame the Falcone organization. Instead, he suspects his old rival, the aging Don Franco "Frank" Vinci, a staunch traditionalist who disapproves of Clemente's activities. In recent years, Vinci's organization has declined as the aging Don takes more interest in his racehorses than in his criminal enterprises. Falcone's organization considers bucking Vinci's leadership in order to cash in on the illegal trade that Vinci frowns upon.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Eight When he successfully cracks Clemente's safe, Frankie discovers a bloodstained wallet belonging to the recently deceased Silvio. With hard evidence of the murder, Frankie knows he's found a sure path into the Falcone organization. He passes on the evidence to the enraged Eddie Scarpa, who vows revenge on the Clemente family. Frankie also discovers another surprise in the safe: contraband suggesting that Clemente is dabbling in illegal trade with one of Empire Bay's street gangs. Police raid one of the street gang's strongholds, possibly due to a tip from Eddie Scarpa.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Seven At F.B.I. headquarters, Frankie's increasingly unreliable behavior begins to worry the bosses. Despite Frankie's success in mapping the structure of organized crime in Empire Bay, his unauthorized investigation is on very thin ice. Frankie, however, is too absorbed in his latest task to care. Under the tutelage of aging black market maven Giuseppe, Potenza's learning the art of safecracking.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Six Frankie spends time at the Cathouse, a strip club frequented by Falcone's lieutenant, the hard-partying Eddie Scarpa. Though he's regarded with deep suspicion by Falcone's thugs, Frankie manages to earn Eddie Scarpa's trust. Eddie believes that Clemente was responsible for killing his cousin's husband, Silvio - but he needs proof. Frankie hints that the evidence may have been locked in Clemente's safe by the devious Luca Gurino. Promising him a new future in the Falcone organization, Eddie tells Frankie to get his hands on the mysterious evidence by any means necessary.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Five In the wake of Silvio's murder, the highly stressed Frankie becomes increasingly erratic. Through the gossip of low-level mobsters, Frankie learns that Silvio was related by marriage to Eddie Scarpa, the aggressive, emotional capo régime of the rival Falcone family. Frankie insinuates himself into the scene at the Maltese Falcon, a restaurant owned by family boss (and Humphrey Bogart lookalike) Carlo Falcone.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Four Accepted as a foot-soldier in the Clemente family, Frankie Potts soon ends up in way over his head. At Clemente's meat processing plant, he witnesses the brutal torture of Silvio Palmieri. Before murdering Silvio, the paranoid Clemente accuses him of being a spy for a rival gang. The deeply shaken Frankie learns that Clemente has a reputation for violent outbursts. Some of Clemente's own associates eagerly await the day he pushes another Mafia family too far.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Three Using government-supplied contraband, Frankie plies more information out of bartender Johnny Morgan at Freddy's Bar. He learns that mobster Henry Tomasino is tied to Alberto Clemente, the head of a paranoid and mean-spirited crime family.' To earn Tomasino's respect, Frankie assists in stealing and stripping a luxury car belonging to Carlo Falcone, the head of a rival family. At the Empire Arms Hotel, the very pleased Tomasino introduces Frankie to other members of the Clemente Crime Family including the treacherous Luca "Rat Soap" Gurino, an unpleasant and ambitious crime boss.

Frankie Potts Files - Week Two At Freddy's Bar, Frankie meets low-level crooks who work for an auto theft ring. After Frankie earns their trust, they take him inside Giuseppe's General Store. The store turns out to be a false front for a literal black market packed with fake IDs, illegal weapons and tools for safe cracking. Frankie's new friends introduce him to Charlie, whose service station is really a chop shop, and Mike Bruski, whose scrap yard gets rid of the evidence. Frankie is enlisted to help steal a car for a family-connected mobster, "legitimate businessman" Henry Tomasino.

Frankie Potts Files - Week One 1950: F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover continues to deny that an organized crime syndicate exists. To obtain proof, a frustrated inner circle of agents decides to plant an undercover agent in Mafia-controlled Empire Bay. Establishing himself as Francesco Potenza, alias Frankie Potts, the undercover agent sets himself up in a high-rise headquarters equipped with a darkroom. Through informants and surveillance, Frankie becomes aware of low-level players like Derek Pappalardo, a corrupt union boss, Harry, a weapons dealer, and Giuseppe, who runs a general store with mob connections.
