Tell the kids that Santa

had to leave. I send something.

Is it really matters?

I have really no other. That's not it.

Here I have no sense.

I said it was for business

and that it is therefore also for this.

Frankie would mediate peace.

Paul trusted him.

And that was his fatal mistake.

Without trust there is no treason.

A vodka martini.

- Whiskey with ice.

I hope so too.

Where are they?

Nothing to show yet.

Do nothing and stay where you are.

Wait till I give the signal.

Chanel No.. 5.

Gloria loves that perfume.

She says the money to smell.

Just be careful that you do not mix.

Then your wife desolate.

What do you and Francis for Christmas?

We celebrate it in Lido Beach.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

On you.

He stands beside us.

Here beside us.

- I heard you.

If they look, I shoot straight.

I swear, if they look, I shoot.

If you do not touch me.

He stands at the first traffic lights.

They're coming. Caution.

They have been there.

Castellano was gunned down by four men.

These are cold-blooded murders.

- His bodyguard...

According to the police, it

a violent takeover.

Look at that.

It's on all channels.

There is no one arrested. Tommy's

devastated, but that's it.

He's a good guy. He must know

he has nothing to fear.

Now see who our opponents are.

Nobody dares us to challenge.

Who knows? The Chin and brothers

Rotondo worked with Paul.

They see it.

We are not afraid of anyone.

So the "Boss of Bosses" is dead?

Yes, and he has lived.

His servant will'm missing.

But his wife.

He just for that girl

to strengthen his dick.

And now we make him cold.

We are a great couple.

To you and me.

On us.

On that side a little more.

Guess who's here.

Daddy's home.

I felt like a soldier

had made it out alive...

Home... and could celebrate Christmas.

Glad you're here. I missed you.

Me too.

Business is good. The next

year we will have even better.

At the funeral of Carlo Gambino

thousands of people.

That of Paul.

You now have a lot more guts.

You've taught me.

I hear you John as second man wants.

Give me your blessing?

You know, the commission has a rule.

You need permission to a boss

to liquidate.

There are many rules.

Paul did nothing else. You know that.

Without rules, there is no order

and without order no family.

What else is there?

- It had to change.

It did not work.

And I mean not personally.

Loyalty, obedience, honor.

Empty words.

That will always exist.

Only we must now honor and obey John.

I thought I knew a lot. Really.

My whole life I have worked on this.

To us.

You think you are doing something good, but

then something happens. Something goes wrong.

And then you wonder what all those

years have done.

And if you look back,

everything seems small.

Very small.

The 21 heads came together.

In Caesar's East. A restaurant where I

money had been.

Sit all.

We know what we are here.

What happened is terrible.

We do not know who killed Paul.

That is being investigated.

No one here will hurt.

We want no discussion outside the family.

Who has a problem with that,

should say that.

Beautiful.

We are as befits a family.

I wear for John Gotti.

Anyone who supports, is now standing.

It's unanimous.

The new head of the Gambino family

is John Gotti.

It is now time to forget

all grudges and hatred.

Everyone here is, the Cosa Nostra.

And so it continues until our death.

Whether it's about an hour, or about

100 years in prison.

It remains a Cosa Nostra.

On the Cosa Nostra.

You do not know how much money is going.

It is as 21 rivers that flow into a lake.

All those years they have it culminated,

but that's over.

This is a new era.

It must return to the leaders and soldiers.

They are eager and are entitled.

There is enough for everyone.

For the whole family.

That is the message of this evening.

He looks at whether the FBI is here.

Look at you.

All they crawl for Gotti.

Is it true that you are the boss of the

Gambino family?

I'm home alone the boss.

Are you not worried about

the charges against you?

I'm not worried. I am innocent.

Ask him for under Castellano.

Gotti has style and flair.

He is the opposite of Paul.

Inside is even better.

So Charlie and I'm full of sh*t by

on hot coals.

But he does not stop and I'm not leaving.

If I'm tired, I tell him:

"All your stories are the same question:

I molde him."

Typical Charlie.

With you I can enjoy chatting.

That's not going with those guys.

I'm not going to decrease.

You're the boss.

If they give us a few years,

we make something indestructible perch on.

Something about our lives.

That would be nice.

Santa is busy.

- It's been more than a million.

You have a good Christmas.

- This is not a crazy job.

Shall we give agents a cup of tea?

They have fixed the cold.

Who do not celebrate feast.

The whole day?

They never go to the toilet?

I can go and ask them.

Go ahead.

- It's no joke.

They do nothing but wait

till we drop a stitch.

And then they strike.

What are you talking about at night?

Listen carefully. You must know how to

enemy thinks.

You worry too much.

But because you always worry and

everything at once thinks...

Eyes... because you have in mind...

Therefore... I make you my consigliere.

I feel honored.

Consigliere. Now there were only John and

Frank, the underboss, still above me.

I was the third man in the Gambino family.

I hear you. Continue.

Did you get that number for me?

Johnny wants us to speak later in the city.

He may say. He's the boss.

That number is still in the car.

Shall I go get?

That's all right.

Hold on.

You'll never make it.

John said something about food?

Guess.

Weather Da Noi?

- What were you thinking?

He loves soup.

Every day that you survive, is included.

You can not imagine your life that,

if not you yourself have experienced.

You will always wake up with the same idea:

Who survives and who dies?

Some things you forget.

Some things you have to let go

before you really noticing.

Do you have a bet?

- I, on the Knicks.

Against the Celtics? Are

you sometimes religious?

I thought of the words of Castellano.

Continued

Frankie came in the same cemetery

to lie as Paul Castellano.

If Frankie does not own the car was

walked, I had that chest area.

His time will come.

The sooner, the better.

Frankie's killers were there.

As proof that they knew nothing.

I think Bilotti's family was behind it.

He's as cunning as a fox.

He plays theater to stay out of jail.

I saw him in action.

He's a real gangster.

Now Frank is dead, you're my number one.

You are my underboss.

You barks and bites me.

- Exactly.

You're a real tough guy.

Therefore, I will.

I can only trust you yet.

That goes for me.

If anything happens to me,

you take over for me.

Two against one that

nothing happens to you.

Three against one. You need me justice.

If the Chinese did it, I blow him.

I put him out of his eyes.

What did I say about the Chinese?
