WEBVTT - Deep Cover: The Family Man

0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:27.396
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. The fall of two thousand and seven, Keith Giamanco

0:00:27.716 --> 0:00:31.596
<v Speaker 1>was in serious financial trouble, so he came up with

0:00:31.676 --> 0:00:34.036
<v Speaker 1>a bold plan to save his family.

0:00:35.916 --> 0:00:39.476
<v Speaker 2>I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I

0:00:39.516 --> 0:00:40.036
<v Speaker 2>had to do.

0:00:40.876 --> 0:00:43.196
<v Speaker 1>At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea?

0:00:44.116 --> 0:00:48.876
<v Speaker 2>It seemed very crazy, but I felt a sense of

0:00:48.916 --> 0:00:54.156
<v Speaker 2>being so desperate that I felt it was the quickest,

0:00:54.196 --> 0:00:55.236
<v Speaker 2>easiest way out.

0:00:56.836 --> 0:00:59.836
<v Speaker 1>To all who knew him, Keith was a mild mannered

0:00:59.916 --> 0:01:05.636
<v Speaker 1>suburban dad, but secretly he became someone else, a master

0:01:05.756 --> 0:01:06.516
<v Speaker 1>of disguise.

0:01:08.076 --> 0:01:11.356
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't very good looking anyone in the eye. You

0:01:11.396 --> 0:01:14.556
<v Speaker 2>can't share anything like that with someone else if you

0:01:14.676 --> 0:01:15.956
<v Speaker 2>do your.

0:01:15.796 --> 0:01:21.396
<v Speaker 1>Had Eventually, the police showed up one night when his

0:01:21.476 --> 0:01:25.196
<v Speaker 1>teenage daughters were home alone, wondering where their dad was.

0:01:26.996 --> 0:01:29.796
<v Speaker 3>Recognize seriousness, because they wouldn't have sent an entire crime

0:01:29.796 --> 0:01:33.036
<v Speaker 3>scene unit out to my house if it wasn't serious.

0:01:34.516 --> 0:01:37.076
<v Speaker 3>They didn't send one or two dudes. They sent a

0:01:37.116 --> 0:01:39.276
<v Speaker 3>whole van of people plus dogs.

0:01:40.716 --> 0:01:44.356
<v Speaker 1>Every family has its secrets, but what happens when you

0:01:44.436 --> 0:01:47.556
<v Speaker 1>discover that your dad has been living a double life.

0:01:49.196 --> 0:01:52.596
<v Speaker 3>It was literally like there is something wrong. I couldn't

0:01:52.596 --> 0:01:54.996
<v Speaker 3>put my finger on it. But it was anxiety, it

0:01:55.036 --> 0:01:58.756
<v Speaker 3>was defeat. It was fear. Is everyone lying to me

0:01:58.836 --> 0:02:02.796
<v Speaker 3>about who they are? I didn't trust anyone after that.

0:02:05.436 --> 0:02:08.236
<v Speaker 1>Soon it wasn't just Keith's daughters who had to deal

0:02:08.276 --> 0:02:13.996
<v Speaker 1>with his lies. It was friends, neighbors, investigators, prosecutors, and

0:02:14.116 --> 0:02:16.396
<v Speaker 1>ultimately Keith himself.

0:02:19.116 --> 0:02:21.156
<v Speaker 2>Came up and then proceeded to take his hand and

0:02:21.196 --> 0:02:22.356
<v Speaker 2>put it into his jacket.

0:02:22.476 --> 0:02:24.156
<v Speaker 3>Mike, he had a weapon.

0:02:24.476 --> 0:02:27.156
<v Speaker 1>You can't put that many people in that much fear

0:02:28.116 --> 0:02:30.316
<v Speaker 1>and not expect to pay a heavy price for it.

0:02:30.636 --> 0:02:33.196
<v Speaker 2>Okay, before I ask you any questions, you were advisor

0:02:33.276 --> 0:02:39.996
<v Speaker 2>your constitutional rights. People say, oh, you made a mistake. No,

0:02:40.636 --> 0:02:43.956
<v Speaker 2>I didn't make a mistake. Making a mistake is putting

0:02:44.196 --> 0:02:48.276
<v Speaker 2>salt in your coffee instead of sugar. I made bad choices.

0:02:48.756 --> 0:02:51.796
<v Speaker 2>Those things were a choice.

0:02:52.916 --> 0:02:55.396
<v Speaker 1>This is a story about the crimes a man will

0:02:55.396 --> 0:03:00.196
<v Speaker 1>commit in the name of fatherhood. It's about love, deception,

0:03:00.596 --> 0:03:05.236
<v Speaker 1>and justice, and it's about the disguises parents put on

0:03:05.316 --> 0:03:13.556
<v Speaker 1>for their children and the world. Deep cover The Familyman,
