That... he is a holy rule of

Cosa Nostra has violated.

Louie Di Bono says...

That this brother... his confrere has

attacked and threatened with death.

Di Bono has given us access

in his books.

There is no evidence that

he has deceived you.

Or that he has harmed you.

Is it true that you him with death

have threatened?

I threatened him.

Friends I never threatened.

But this scab... He is

a festering, a liar and a thief.

You go too far.

- No, Frankie.

He goes too far. He has everyone

at this table robbed.

Give me a gun, I make you here

cold spot.

I make that fat guy off.

How dare you say that?

Who are you to talk so disrespectfully?

Only I decide on the death of the

members of this family.

I swear...

- You deserve death.

I swear, I'm not lying.

- Calm down.

Sammy has gone too far.

I understand you.

But I am sure that he truth.

He had everything to deny.

But here is a man of honor,

of principles.

Well then.

But the next time...

You... that crosses the line,

you die.

Where was the honor and loyalty?

Where was the brotherhood?

Each week brought Di Bono Paul

the envelopes with my money.

There is a saying: "Keep laughing even

you're screwed."

But after that time it was hard

against Paul to laugh.

Against John Paul has said that

anyone who does drugs, it goes.

He has something against drugs

because he himself never been poor.

Then everything went wrong.

I have some furniture ingested.

So we can talk?

I have everything checked.

This is the phone of my daughter.

How much is it?

Thirty seats. Street Value sixty,

seventy balloons.

Call the movers then.

I say so often:

"Who's dealing, playing with fire.

If they catch you, going down."

Fat Angie and Gene were caught. John

got them free and gave them along.

This was it. It has now ended.

They only have that tape.

You're full of sh*t too. If the phone

pick up, you hear all those thick c*cks.

We have always been together.

Have I ever done something wrong?

I know that you are my friend,

but you cut yourself in the fingers.

With Angie's big mouth the trouble started.

Neil Della Croce, Gotti's capo, was dying.

Yet he did the defense.

Angelo's lawyers refute

those tapes in several ways.

There is a good chance that we are good

come from.

Maybe my name.

Soon I am associated

with them and with drugs.

Your name is not mentioned.

If so, I bring you their heads.

I'm powerless. I want certainty.

The FBI has more to me.

This I can not do.

Angie's lawyers have those tapes yet.

I promise you if we have them,

you get them.

You know, Angelo is a piece of dirt,

he is nothing.

But if you're behind it,

go your whole gang coming.

I swear.

What do I do with those tires?

What do I need? I can see my brother and

my best friend not to burst.

Tell me about it.

Paul gets drug money from anyone.

And I think he suits. He makes

the rules, but not to live there.

He's not a real gangster. He does

in shares and fills his pockets.

I told you so.

Everything goes to his own family.

- That's right.

That the police are the real heroes.

Go away.

- Really.

She lazily against various armed

can get.

Real heroes.

- I can not believe.

Would you say to your men for you

she sends path?

Let him send for the police

a job. Me he should leave it alone.

How do you do this?

- I love him on the line. What else?

If his name is on that

tapes, he gets a thousand years.

That would be nice.

Forward, skip it.

Is it? Nothing wrong with you?

Do I have your moles?

- I could not help it.

You think I'm kidding myself?

What do you think we will let him go?

Hoop it.

Those guys are too strong.

Give me at a pair of gloves.

That's what I hear.

With Mikey can not be mocked.

He is my size.

They seem to be Nixon.

We have no tapes.

We must eliminate.

And do not Gravano.

They are good friends.

Sammy has never done anything.

I do not. I fight it out in

the courtroom.

If they catch me for conspiracy...

- It's okay.

Well, we do so.

If Neil is dead, putting an end

to Gotti's gang.

Then we cut his wings.

Day, sister.

- Hi, Mikey.

Day, Louie.

- Is there Sammy?

Sammy, Louie's.

How are you?

Give this but Sammy.

I go to the car wash.

Come Sunday?

Keep what meatballs.

And remember the breasole not.

Say it again.

That whole thing with horses

gives me a penny on.

That takes time. A matter

of breeding and training.

Gem delivers good bit on?

I have some on order

I need my money.

How can you work with another?

I must do what's best for me.

I do not think you suddenly from

want steps.

Why? Is rumored about me?

Of course not.

- Are you sure?

Definitely.

Go ahead.

You must do what is best.

If you think this is the best,

I can understand that.

Of course not.

Take care of yourself.

What were you with Castellano and Bilotti?

You think I do not notice?

You took the spoils fixed inside.

Big Paul had a capital spent

an alarm.

But it was the FBI succeeded

listening devices to place.

He was arrested for conspiracy.

Not only did Angie's mouth

beyond talk, Paul himself.

How are you?

I looked at John in his club "The Ravenite.

How is life?

Well, are you?

Norman, make the same card table ready.

Where is John?

- They had to get away.

You said he'd be here?

'Fat' Angie is now door number one.

Right, that's 'Fat' Angie.

Who's the other guy?

- Never seen before.

We have a novice at.

They walk to the corner.

I think he will be chatting.

The food remains in my throat stabbing.

I have constant heartburn. Terrible.

You say that all the time.

What are you thinking?

There going to change things.

Paul wants us tackle

So we need him to be.

Was this your idea?

I represent John.

He needs me to say this myself.

Sammy, listen.

You must understand this.

He wants to know if you participate.

Nothing more.

I do not know. This is quite a bit.

This is no small thing.

John does not do anything

without you or Frankie.

And what does Frankie?

Who participates.

I have to think.

I'll talk to you later.

John us dared to imagine,

there was guts.

A murder is easy, but he is a

good boss?

I like him, but he is the best choice?

This shows he still initiative?

Quiet moment.

What about you? Would not you boss?

I can work under him,

but not me.

His ego is bigger than the Empire

State Building.

The question is:
Can he'll curb?

As well, can Sammy "The Bull" him?

Also, you and me.

The boss is off.

This was done in thirty years.

That went against everything. All rules.

He is a fish in the desert.

He is a dead fish.

Are you in?

I'm with you.

- Then the war.

We do it.

We polsten the Columbo's, the Bonnano's

and the Luchese's.

We sought support.

The message was simple:

Give the thugs in power back.

If we would not do,

it would be over with us.

If we could do it,

it could be a long war.

When are you coming back?

About a week or so. I do not know.

These are important issues.

Are you home for Christmas?
