Peppino agobia a su padre con continuas preguntas acerca de la actividad del mafioso, pero a cambio sólo obtiene silencio. En 1968, ya adolescente, comparte los ideales sociales y políticos de su generación y participa en una manifestación contra la ampliación del aeropuerto, que les quitaría las tierras a los campesinos. En los años siguientes, funda un periódico local y una emisora independiente ("Radio Out") en la que se mofa de la mafia y de los que la protegen, llegando a suscitar la ira de Badalamenti (Tano Seduto) y la reprobación de su familia.
