the team Organized Crime.

He told us what investigations

there against the family walked...

What they knew about

the case Castellano...

Only the FBI he knew nothing.

Their microphone I could not find.

But I never chatted.

It gave them

4500 hours of tape recordings of me.

And what did they get it? Zilch.

John had a subscription to the courtroom.

Look how he's a hall arrives.

As if he was right.

Whether the court he presides.

That's all invented by the

U.S. government.

They may not be my client Gotti.

Gambling or... are the

people with whom he deals.

But it is forbidden to deal with

people that the state should not?

Is it forbidden your free time in clubs

to spend?

With some cards,

watching TV and drinking coffee?

They want to punish him.

And there is good for nothing.

Think of it like a rotten stew.

The smell remains, the remains rot

and you still have to puke.

You hear this accusation home.

At the other junk.

Talking costs nothing,

until you hire a lawyer.

Or judges who kicked it, I do not know.

How many are you?

To 120.

You're not serious.

- He gets it rough time.

Sixty. And let's say that he with us

person can come whenever he wants.

Agreement?

A different voice is enough.

I can not just guilty.

In the case of the United States

against John Gotti...

Accused of criminal conspiracy...

We consider, the jury, John Gotti

not guilty.

It was Friday the thirteenth.

But it was John's lucky day.

Comments like.

They have no evidence and no conscience.

How you doin '?

We would like to say that we do not

will forget.

That can not be otherwise.

Nice suit. The clearance?

Of a truck cases.

Go catch crooks.

This was madness.

What were all these people here?

He seemed to be the mayor.

All that publicity could we miss

as toothache.

It seems to be Independence Day.

We had good they are.

Now they let us be alone.

According to our man

they get all the microphones away.

At Christmas I want you by my

chimney.

This is not to believe?

You got it permit?

The crawling with cops.

- So what?

Congratulations. We love you.

All the best.

Previously the old guard is still quiet.

The people did not even know existed.

I like being among people.

I wish them a pleasure.

I do not like Paul.

Not so d*cks, entertain you a bit.

Next year I care for a permit.

To you a favor.

All right.

Sammy can not relax again.

The business is going through.

I have one of my boys.

- Then who?

Mikey 'The Bat'. He had

Nicky 'Cowboy' keep an eye on.

But he sat with him in the coke.

Now he chats about it.

He knows too much.

- What then?

Everything, and he is unreliable.

The FBI gets him as on their side.

- Did you say that informant?

We need them just for that.

Debra and you have your wedding here

not celebrated?

Time flies.

Indeed.

It's like it was yesterday that we

together with the Rampers sat.

Listen. You've put me offside.

Would not you tell me again back?

I would like to take part again.

Act like you do?

And you stay on Staten Island?

Give me a little room.

You know I have done nothing.

I'll think about it.

I'll be right back.

I was up at five. I'm tired.

A dance. This is such a beautiful song.

I said I do not want.

You never more sense.

- That's what you think.

Your weakest link determines your strength.

Mikey was a good guy, but he was weak.

By a weak link can break your chain.

Mikey, you got a minute?

I'll come to a few people.

You say it but.

- I'll see you there soon.

Do I need anything else for you?

No, I'll see you later.

That was a beautiful wedding.

What do you hear?

Never mind.

It's still a shame.

A weak link and the chain breaks.

Those two dancing all night.

Mikey was a good guy. A brother.

But he knew it and he knew

the consequences.

Why are you open?

That was Sammy.

You're kidding.

We wanted the killers of your brother

show...

We just wanted to make clear

that they can find us here.

If they have something against us,

we wait for them here.

That is reassuring.

And the mess is neat and tidy.

All the blood is gone.

Fortunately.

Otherwise it would not be fun

for you.

Let me not disturb you while you

my brother Mikey drink.

By Mikey. God rest his soul.

Yes, on Mikey.

Maybe he's better now

here with you.

John was accused that he

a union had to murder.

The last two cases he had won.

Would it succeed him?

Why are they so you on the skin?

Is this a vendetta?

This statement is a message

for the accuser?

You guys were great. Without the help

of the press had it ended differently.

This was your third acquittal.

Do you think they are now alone?

Hopefully. I'm building this Sat

What do you think of that

persistent attacks of the state?

Well done. We're all behind you.

Go's delicious food. Drowning not.

Do you have anything else to say?

Then everyone called him the "Teflon Don".

If someone disappears, everybody understands

that they should not mess with us.

Fear keeps the business going.

Provide fear and everything runs well.

Machiavelli said: "If you must choose

between love and fear, fear is better."

Would you like to sign?

- Of course.

Is not that good?

And you, Frankie?

- Sounds good.

Is not that John Gotti?

What does a bottle?

- $ 50.

Say Vincenzo but that he was 200 for

should ask.

This is the wine that Gotti drink.

- I'll say.

I will ensure that they are not as to

watch us?

That his fans. They love me.

Give people a bottle of champagne.

We are the Cosa Nostra. We have

No fans. We did not even exist.

How often I 't said, it urged

not get through to him.

We are not movie stars, we're gangsters.

A gangster boss on the

cover of Time magazine.

It's a disgrace to justice.

Tell them we do our best.

Hey, Paulie.

- How you doin '?

What you got for me?

- You look tired.

I got my share and he

had information for me.

I must tell you something.

There's a guy who constantly

gossips about you.

I did not believe my ears. I had Louie

warned and yet he continued.

I warned Louie yet

he keeps talking.

I told you, over him.

- I will do that also.

It is difficult for you.

Let Genie 't do it.

It's my problem. I should be there.

Have you caught?

- You get it Saturday.

Those lawyers dress me.

How much did you bring?

Eighty-to ninety thousand.

Give it. Every little bit helps.

It was not his attorney,

but for his bookie.

John bet on everything apart and stuck.

Do you see those guys again.

Just as I was when I started.

They think they can handle.

They do not know what awaits them.

Friends become enemies and enemies

be friends.

In this crazy world is none

and nothing is certain.

I freeze some.

Do you not it cold?

I love fresh air.

Come.

He said:
"He must 't be able to."

Sammy said:
"This man has experience."

He referred me.

Then he said:
"I promised my wife

I would die without shoes."

"May I now take off?"

Making that up. Nobody says anything.

True or not? Who was it?
