Joe arranged his return to Empire Bay through Tony Balls, a soldato in the Falcone family. Joe then leaves Empire Bay and hides down south for five years. In the aftermath, Joe receives a call from Henry, who warns him that Luca has put a contract out on him.
An angry Joe rushes to Freddy's bar where he runs his mouth off at Luca Gurino, asking what the hell happened, which angers Luca immensely. However, all his efforts seem to be for nothing as his best friend is sentenced to 10 years in prison three months later at his trial. Joe is then ordered to find Mazzeo and shut him up for good.Īfter discovering where the police are keeping Mazzeo, Joe kills him, presumably by shoving him and his car into the icy Culver reservoir, and thinks Vito will be in the clear. He tracks him to the train station and convinces him not to return to Empire Bay, but in the process learns of an even bigger rat, Richie Mazzeo, who intends to testify against the entire Clemente organization. Joe carries Henry out of the now burning distillery and tends to him while Vito drives them to a mob doctor for treatment.Īfter Vito's arrest, Joe is sent to find the witness who squealed and persuade him not to testify. After Pen gets off a lucky shot, wounding Henry, Joe and Vito gun him down. When the plan fails, the trio must chase him inside, finally cornering him on the upper floor. They discuss opportunities for joining the Clemente family and then sit down with Henry to plan their next job, an ambush-style hit to kill Sidney Pen and his men outside of his distillery in Sand Island. About a week later, Joe is at a meeting with Henry and Luca Gurino when Vito arrives. After a brief shootout with the gang and then police, the two manage to get away with the jewels. The robbery goes according to plan until the O'Neill Gang try to rob the same store. He then introduces him to Henry Tomasino, a made man in the Clemente crime family, who offers Vito a job robbing gas ration stamps from the Office of Price Administration.Īfter Vito's success, Joe brings him in on a job robbing a jewelry store owned by a man who owes Alberto Clemente money. The next day he gets Vito settled with a car and a little money in his pocket. Not wanting his friend to leave again, he arranges forged discharge documents through his criminal contacts to ensure Vito can stay in Empire Bay. Joe greets Vito upon his return from war and while the two catch up at Freddy's Bar, Joe discovers that he's only on leave for a month. Moving up the criminal ladder is the perfect way for him to feed his vices. These days, Joe lives large - strong booze, fast cars, and loose women. Over the next ten years, the two of them made a great team, rational Vito keeping wild Joe in check as they enjoyed a life of petty crime. He met Vito when the younger boy offered to fight him for a place in his gang. As a child, Joe was the neighborhood bully. Brash and unpredictable, Joe can seemingly make trouble out of nothing. Joe Barbaro is a career criminal and lifelong friend of Vito Scaletta.
