Plot

Pistone becomes an FBI agent after spending time working for Naval Intelligence. He first goes undercover to infiltrate a theft ring. The operation pays off when the FBI arrests one of the largest and most profitable theft rings in history.[2]

피스톤은 해군 정보국에서 일하다가 FBI요원이 됨

그는 처음엔 절도범들 사이에 위장해 침투했었다. 

작전은 성공해서 FBI는 역사상 가장 크게 활동하던 절도범네트워크를 체포했다.

After the success of the operation, the FBI and Pistone consider going undercover and infiltrating truck hijacking gangs and the Mafia. After months of preparation, the FBI erases Pistone's personal history and he goes undercover as Donald Brasco, an expert jewel thief from Miami, Florida. Hanging out at known crime spots, such as bars and social clubs, he eventually befriends a bartender and joins a crime gang.

작전 성공후 트럭강도단에 침투하는 것과 마피아 침투를 계획함

준비후 FBI는 피스톤의 개인 기록을 소거하고 위장신분인 마이애미 출신 보석도둑 도널드 브래스코로서 범죄자들이 드나드는 바나 클럽같은 장소에 어슬렁대기 시작함

결국 바텐더와 친해지고 범죄단에 들어감

He moves on to Jilly Greca's crew, who are associates in the Colombo crime family. The crew are involved in truck hijacking and selling stolen merchandise. Brasco meets Anthony Mirra and the two begin hanging out. Mirra is a soldier in the Bonanno crime family and is a lot better connected, respected and feared than Greca's crew. Brasco decides it would be a better choice for the operation to go with Mirra, so he starts hanging out more with Mirra.

그리고 범죄집안인 콜롬보 가문과 연결된 질리 그레카가 이끄는 무리에 들어감

그레카 무리는 트럭 강도와 장물 판매하는 자들

브래스코는 앤써니 미라를 만나서 어울리게 되는데 미라는 보나노 가문에 소속된 조직원으로서 그레카 무리보다 높고 두렵게 평가되는 자였다

브래스코는 미라에 연결해서 작전을 하는 게 낫다고 생각해서 미라와 다니게 됨

Through Mirra, Brasco meets another Bonanno soldier called Benjamin "Lefty" Ruggiero. When Mirra is sent back to prison, Brasco and Lefty become close friends. Brasco gains the reputation of being a trustworthy and good earner. He is responsible for several lucrative business ventures, including the Kings Court Bottle Club in Florida, which begins a good relationship with the Bonannos and Santo Trafficante.

미라를 통해 브래스코는 다른 보나노 가문의 조직원인 "레프티"란 별명의 벤자민 루기에로를 알게 된다. 

미라가 수감됐을 대 브래스코와 레프티는 가까운 친구가 됨

브래스코는 돈을 잘 벌고 신뢰할 수 있는 상대라는 평판을 얻어냈다

그는 몇가지 수익성 높은 투기적 사업을 맡았는데 플로리다 소재의 킹즈코트바틀 클럽도 그중 하나였다. 이 일로 보나노 가문과 산토 트라피칸테와 좋은 관계를 맺게 된다.

The Bonannos, particularly captain Dominick "Sonny Black" Napolitano, are happy with Brasco's work and are prepared to sponsor him for membership into the mafia. Brasco struggles in his personal life because he does not see his real family often, spending months without seeing his wife and three daughters.[3] A family dispute breaks out over who "owns" Donnie Brasco. Mirra claims he owns him since he brought him in, Lefty says he owns him because he was the first to put a claim on him, and Sonny Black as the captain says Brasco belongs to him.

보나노 패거리들 중 특히 대장격인 자가 도미닉 나폴리타노였다. 그는 소니 블랙이라는 별명으로 불렸는데 브래스코의 성과에 만족해 하면서 마피아의 정식멤버가 될 수있게 지원해주려 했다. 브래스코는 사적으로는 힘든 상황이었는데 본인의 진짜 가족들을 자주 볼 수 없었기 떄문이다. 몇달을 아내와 세 딸을 만나지 못했다.  조직내에서는 도니 브래스코는 누구의 심복이냐는 이유로 분쟁이 일어났다. 미라는 자신이 데려왔으니 자신의 수하라고 주장했다. 레프티는 자기가 그를 먼저 수하라고 선언한데다 우두머리인 소니블랙도 브래스코가 레프티의 사람이라고 인정해줬으니 브래스코는 자기 부하라고 주장했다

After six years undercover, the operation becomes increasingly dangerous. Three powerful captains are murdered; gunned down by fellow Bonanno family members. The FBI want to pull the plug on the operation due to the danger of Brasco getting killed. Pistone wants to stay at least until he gets "made", in order to prove that the mafia is not invincible. A date is set when Brasco is ordered to come out of the operation. There are six weeks left until Brasco is revealed to be an FBI agent.[4]

6년의 위장수사 이후, 작전은 급격히 위험해져갔다...........나중 계속 번역

To become a made man, Brasco is ordered to kill Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato, although Bruno has fled New York. FBI agents eventually reveal to Sonny Black that their associate is actually an agent. Although Sonny Black and others consider it hard to believe that Brasco is an agent, he informs his superiors. The men responsible for bringing Brasco into the family are ordered to be murdered. Sonny Black and Mirra are murdered, while Lefty escapes death when he is arrested before he arrives at a meeting.[5]

Pistone's work is not complete yet as he has to testify at trials all over America. Operation Donnie Brasco leads to more than 200 indictments and over 100 convictions of mafia members.
