I love you, but sometimes I

not anymore.

We are a family. Nobody goes away.

We started together and we continue

together until the end.

If something goes well, it 's really good.

If something goes wrong,

it 's also very wrong.

Then everything goes wrong.

Sammy's inside.

That's two. Now another.

How you doin '?

- Well, are you?

How you doin '?

John is on the way.

We have not come here anymore.

He just does not listen.

We'll keep it short. I must

Christmas shopping with my wife.

I have fifteen hundred dollars

Christmas lights in the house.

Debra I wanted a little cheer.

I get it.

The boss is also there.

- Gotti is now the club.

Toward it.

I do not want new people. We have

but a handful of good boys.

It is becoming increasingly difficult.

But the men that we have,

and not the loafers...

Which... are becoming better.

In ten years we can be proud

on those guys.

FBI. You know what we're doing.

Do you like it quiet.

We come for Sam, Frank and John.

I knew you would come.

Why are you so nice?

- Only Sammy knew nothing.

Even my coffee drink.

- You will now not much else.

Drink your coffee.

Grab the cannoli's. We will take that.

Walk along with me to your new residence.

Hopefully you have a better cook. Previous

time the chateaubriand some tough.

John is my friend.

Say something nice or shut up.

That's a lot of money grab.

- That's for my wife.

If you want to.

- I just.

I have to make Christmas lights.

Let me know how it is.

I will.

I ran the risk of the rest of my

life behind bars by having to spend.

Never again a free man.

I could not believe it.

Everything that I had built.

For myself, my family, the whole borgata.

It could just collapse.

Obstruction of justice,

tax evasion...

Criminal conspiracy...

And the murder of Paul Castellano,

Thomas Bilotti, Robert Di Bernardo...

Louie Di... Bono and Louis Milito.

The state has shown that

your lawyers Cutler and Shargel...

As counselors have worked for...

the Gambino family.

Therefore they can not occur

if your lawyers in this case.

Mr. Gotti, you should find another lawyer.

I'm not afraid of the fake admissions

of that man there.

He can not fight fair and he

can a fair case can not win.

Thank you Mr. Gotti.

In the normal course, I never

a. Jacoby and Meyers there are not.

That's very funny.

$ 30 you can not score.

- Watch me.

That's because you're white.

- I'm an Italian.

We need to get out of here.

We really can not lose.

Otherwise I escape.

Wish you cross the river?

I certainly do.

That's crazy.

Must we then rot?

You look like a gravedigger.

They are often caught me and I always won.

We always won.

But now we're well into trouble.

We really do not lose.

And otherwise we our time. The

family and the money is waiting for us.

Do not think that we are alive.

We are going to appeal for perjury,

tampering the jury or false evidence.

And those tapes?

What's on those tapes?

A lot of bullshit. Junk, nothing.

I hope so.

We buy the presidential order.

We obtain grace, like Hoffa.

Why, pardon? Am I crazy?

We get fan mail. Everyone hates

the state. They are behind us.

We win again, like the previous times.

We win it. Understood?

Get that ball but now, white boy.

John did not want me without him

with a lawyer talking.

And then came the big surprise.

This was recorded on December 12, 1989

in the room above the Ravenite Club.

Let's hear it.

Sammy said he chatted.

Louie Di Bono has ever behind my

back to chat about me?

Di Bono has never stolen.

Do you know why he's coming? Because

He would not come when I wanted it.

Anyone who is cross, going down.

He makes them.

Now Sammy Gem Atlas Steel.

What else should I say?

We go to court.

About ten minutes by bus.

I never cheated. I did

matters, but I've never cheated.

I know you're angry,

but I take it you're not sorry.

I take nothing amiss.

This was our case.

Where's the loyalty?

I just let myself go.

You gave the orders.

- Calm down.

If someone wants to get rid of

Gotti, make it but then for.

You got some balls after

you've done it me something.

Who said of Milito and Di Bono?

I protected you and this is just

then my reward?

They have tires, no witnesses.

The lawyers know what to do with.

I was still an army into an army?

Do not be silly.

I say strange things often.

You know me?

I trust you. Why you underboss.

You say that I have betrayed the family.

No one is more loyal than me.

How many times have I told you:

"Do you. Take it easy."

Treat the others something.

You pick up everything.

Those three, four million per year

I gave you, did you quite differently.

I need to think about the whole family.

Not only to you.

I arranged your trades and bookies

for you and you never said anything.

We're like b*tches. This is beyond

and it means nothing.

Does it not?

For you, maybe.

This is my downfall.

You wanted D.B. finish. I asked Angelo

waiting.

But you had it right.

I only know what Angelo said to me.

That Sammy said D.B. behind my back

chatted to.

Now I know that Angelo has lied.

Now I know it. Good?

I had my mouth shut.

I chatted too much, but you had to

I should have listened.

We'll get out.

Let this be clear, we are friends.

I never doubted you.

This should not destroy the family.

Do you understand me?

I understand you.

If we are out, we'll straighten everything.

Louie Milito had Gem Atlas Steel.

Sammy said he chatted.

Furthermore, he did nothing.

I heard John me deeper

drilled into the ground.

It was his lawyer, his ego,

his style.

I should never have trusted him.

He sent to my downfall.

I'm through. He pretty...

I... and life behind bars.

I had no choice. I had to murder.

But there would be more to go.

His brothers Gene and Pete and his son

John Junior.

Some I could, others not.

I began to count. I had three men

cool it in four different gangs.

I think there 's about it and

realized that it was not feasible.

Now I delve into the sh*t Sat

than I ever imagined...

I looked back and I saw

something else.

Without that there remained nothing else

than treason.

What do you want exactly?

My freedom.

You ask the impossible.

What do you have to offer us?

Everything.

Castellano's murder, the murder D.B.

Di Bono, Louie Milito. You get the 5

families on a silver platter.

Whatever you want.

And what do you want in return?

Immunity. I will testify if I

my life returns.

That's impossible. You'll have to sit.

How long?

- Twenty years.

If I get out after five years.

I'm not the rest of my life witnesses.

Other matters covered by this agreement.

If you want more, I want five years.

Up. Since I do it for.

You want the big boss.

- It's just how you look at it.

It is night.

I know nothing of a transfer.

They have a warrant.

I want my lawyer.

- Talk to the FBI.

Wait.

- What does that now?

You got the wrong guy.

What do you mean, wrong?

You come for Sammy.

I may burst.

You come for Sammy.
