While in school, Vito gets involved with a local delinquent named Joe Barbaro , who eventually becomes his best friend.

In 1943, Vito is arrested during a botched robbery and given a choice: go to jail or join the.

Conversely, Falcone offers Joe the position of caporegime if he kills Vito, but Joe betrays Falcone, not wanting to kill his lifelong friend. They succeed in killing Falcone and are picked up by Vinci's men to celebrate.
