In this clip, Gianni Russo details killing a man in his Vegas restaurant that turned out to be Pablo Escobar's underboss, leading Escobar to put a hit out on Gianni. He explained that he was captured and taken to a prison that Escobar had built for himself, and the hit was called off after Escobar realized Gianni was in his favorite movie, The Godfather. After being let go, Gianni and Escobar went out to dinner and reenacted the last scene of The Godfather, which you can hear more about above.
