see me for the first time in my life I

had a sense of direction not only had I

met the right woman but I had found my

calling mr. Rollo I had made the jump

into the major leagues yeah Tonto I

don't sure I hear you a tough guy the

old time is they once saw me fight with

some kids who stole my bike and they

called me Sammy the bull the name stuck

just come down the line from the top

that you're to be on the record with me

you mean from big Paul Castellano

there's no need to mention names

you come to me twice a week you report

in I understand anything that you do

with anybody in this family or any of

the other families must best buy me from

here on in nobody can touch you without

permission okay

you ready for this I'm definitely ready

only to veto and I play this game the

other men they play Pinochle a Paris I

never played this game before these are

the pawns they are moved across the

board to protect the more important

pieces like the bishop the nights in our

regatta in our family they are called

couples which in turn protect the King

King must always be protected must never

be exposed it's okay you're on Marissa

Vito

paddle brought me into the family and

took me under his wing he was like a

second father to me my own father was a

good man but because of that people

pushed him around ne nd I get protection

from people like Todd oh people like

myself what are you looking at

[ __ ]

Sammy the bull but a minute I make a

like that your friggin celebrity serving

make that wait our line Oh anything you

need you got any problems you let me

situation I listen to this guy bitching

about this about that about money that

was owed him afterwards thatíll asked me

what I thought we should do I said find

the other guy bust him up break his legs

then Tonto called in the other guy he

had a totally different version of

things so what do you think now Sammy I

guess I'd have to check it out further

this guy seems like he was the one

telling the truth but yesterday you

believed the other guy yeah good

everyone has a story to tell but you

should always take the trouble to hear

both sides and usually the truth lies

somewhere in between but if you go off

half-cocked and you make a decision

without hearing both sides you won't

last long

it'll be your downfall

all right everybody please let's get out

of our seats

whacked live to play another day that's

my advice to you you know why you're

for me to believe

one minute I'm the golden boy next thing

I'm on trial for my life bravado has

been charged with breaking a sacred rule

of the Cosa Nostra Louie de Bono here

has gone on record that this brother

raised a hand to his fellow brother and

threatened to kill him Louie de Bono has

opened his books to us we find no

evidence of him treating you or that he

caused you harm is it true that you

threatened to kill him

yeah I threaten I never done that to a

friend of us but this lowlife over here

let me tell you something he's a

sleazebag

he's a liar a cheat and a thief you're

outta line Sammy no Frankie no he's out

of line

from every one of you at this table give

me your gun

I'll blow your brains out right now

right now I'll kill a fat slob right now

right here right now you two talk this

way who are you to disrespect I don't

mean no disrespect only I have the power

to order to death of any member of this

family

so help me God Paul you should write it

down so help me god Paul I'm not lying

Sammy oh don't take it easy Paul Sammy's

done wrong I understand how you feel but

I also take my life on it he is telling

the truth he could have claimed that he

had never threatened a bonum but he

stands before us here a man of honor a

man of principle who cannot and will not

accept us injustice to his name or to

this society of ours I ask you to spare

his life

[Music]

all right

and the next time

you break a rule you talk

[Music]

where was Diana

where was the loyalty there where was

the Brotherhood Bono was bringing Paul

envelopes every week envelopes were my

money that's why he took his side

there's an old st. - a dirty trick show

a smiling face

after that I'll tell you I had a hard

time smile at Paul

so Paul tells John this is anybody that

strain that pushing H gets wet the only

reason that pulls against drugs is cuz

he never had to struggle for a dime in

his life then things started going wrong

all over the place I've got some

friendship talk on this thing yeah I had

a house worth first week besides having

my daughter's room along this freakin

princess phone I don't think the feds

got nothing better else to do was steal

your boyfriend's dirty chase what street

alright then let's call her movers if I

told you once I told you a thousand

times if you dealin you playing with

fire if you get caught you're gay that

Angie and gene got busted soon

afterwards

John got him bailed out and then he gave

him an earful this is it John

end of the line we're finished are you

finished alright G you are finished who

they got is a lousy tape there's no

flapping your jaws thousand-odd you pick

up a telephone just crash back and then

any other line shooting off his big fat

mouth John we came up the ladder

together I mean we'd be friends forever

have you ever done anything before arm

you have I I know you're my friend but

you wanna have a feet to shoot

it was fatty in G's big-mouthed that had

opened the floodgates

meanwhile Neel della Croce Gandhi's

capital was dying but he dragged himself

out of the hospital to plead their case

Angelo's lawyers challenged in the tape

some different legal levels I think

there's a good chance we can get this

whole thing thrown out Paul how do I

know they didn't mention me on those

tapes how do I know my name isn't mixed

up with their names and with drugs far

as I know Angelo never used your name if

he or Jean did I'll bring you their

heads I'm not rolling the dice en Neil I

want to know for sure the feds are

breathing down my neck on other things

don't fall feds have been holding back

the tapes Angie's lawyers don't even

have them now you have our word when we

get them you get you know Johnny

Angelo's garbage I could scrape off my

shoe but if I find out you're involved

I'm gonna bust up your whole damn crew

and that's a promise I want those tapes

girl to do about these tapes

I got my hands something it's a barbed

wire fence rather stick pins in my eyes

then right off my own brother the best

friend tell me about it

Paul's taking drug money from everybody

but what's these zips he wasn't make an

example out of me I mean he makes the

rules he don't follow old ain't even a

real wise guy he's too busy playing the

stock market filling his beak that

greedy slob what'd I say about doing

business what I say would happen you

were right he sets up his own son-in-law

on concrete and does he cook anything

back to me what to the family no he

keeps it for himself his old family damn

straight

you ain't gonna believe what Paulie said

the other day in front of so many other

guys and all he said he said you know

who the real heroes are that cops

pulling my leg ha believe that he says

they go out on domestic disputes they

don't know who's gonna be waving a gun

at them they're the heroes the police I

mean that's the message that you want to

send the top hitters in your family

before you send them out on a piece of

work well next time he wants to whack

somebody tell him to send the cops and

he's got the nerve bustin my chops so

what do you want to do stall him little

rope-a-dope what else can I do

plunked down a fortune on a hi-tech home

security system but it wasn't enough to

stop the feds from breaking into his

house and planting a bug they busted him

on RICO conspiracy charges

warrior is made was heartbroken but not

for long his lawyers soon bailed them

out now Paul not only had to worry about

bad Ang's big mouth but his own I went

club on Mulberry Street

in my mouth

already said that five times all right

don't be a favor get to the point

look the tide is about the time we got

worried that fall on so they can move on

you want to make the boss John an ayap

honest honest I'm representing then he

should be here telling me this not you

look Sammy you got to understand he

wants you to do this you watching over

him with you what else that's all no

just you're dropping a bombshell this is

serious business

John says you don't wanna make a move

without you a Frankie Pacheco

where's Frankie honest Josh I gotta

think about it

I'll talk to you

Sammy John coming forward like this

letting us know it took balls anybody

can kill I don't mean ink and meet boys

but is he the best we got he's acting

like the boss coming forward like this I

mean the same what about you come you

don't want to be the boss Frank like the

beasts that divorce but you could never

handle be in mind John's got an ego

bigger than the Empire State Building

man he's gonna have 2,000 goombas

licking over the shoulder watching his

every move who do you mean

take out the boss hadn't been done in 30

years it was against everything all the

rules the oath everything just fish out

of water

fish with me yeah I'm with you

let's do it

me and Frankie went to friends in the

Colombo Bonanno and Lucchese families to

see if they back off play the message

was simple but the gangsters back in

power where they belong if we didn't

pull this off no doubt about it we were

going down and if we did pull it off we

could create a war over the last four

years when are you coming back how weak

business important piece of business

I'll be back for Christmas just tell the

kids that Santa's gonna be out of town

but hope you send them a lot of goodies

then I have your blessing you know

the Commission has a rule you need

permission to take a boss down a lot of

rules have been broken title Paul was

breaking him left and right it was

breaking him all the time you know that

without rules there's no order without

order there's no family and then what do

you have left we needed a change the old

way wasn't working how me not

disrespecting it

loyalty obedience honor these words mean

nothing anymore they certainly do and

they always want it's just that now the

most honor and obey John I thought I

knew a lot of things I really did spend

your life working on this thing this

thing of ours think you're doing the

right thing in some happens something

this room is gonna be okay

we don't want no discussion of this

outside the family and if anybody has a

problem with that now is the time to

speak up good

well United as a family should be and

all that remains is to elect a new boss

money's been pointed it's like 21 mighty

rivers pouring into one Lake and that

one Lake is where it's been flowing all

these years well no more it's a new day

waters gotta fall back to the people to

the skipper's and the soldiers who are

thirsty and hungry and reserving there's

it was a man on the inside an NYPD

detective with the organized crime task

force in the best insurance policy money

could buy he gave us the dope on all the

state and federal investigations they

had going on in the family everything

they had on the Castellano had the names

of their informants and where the bugs

were planted the only thing he didn't

ever hook into was the FBI and they

planted the one sucker I couldn't find

good thing I knew to keep my mouth shut

in the end they had 4,500 hours on tape

on me and what they get zilch

[Applause]

john was going in and out of court like

it was a revolving door look at this

away he steps into a room you think he

was the judge like he was the one

holding the foot there's no such thing

as the Gambino crime family it's all a

fantasy concocted by the US government

they don't like my client John Gotti

they don't like his hand tailored suits

his boisterous personality his gambling

well the people he hangs out with but

since when is it a crime to socialize

with people the government doesn't like

since when is it a crime to spend your

leisure time in his social club playing

cards watching football games drinking

coffee that's what they're attempting to

punish them for and it's right to the

core if you take a stoop with bad meat

and bad carrots and put on that fancy

wine dressing that the government calls

Rico it still stinks it's still rotting

it still makes you want to wretched

vomits this is where this indictment

belongs with the rest of the garbage

talk is cheap until you hire a lawyer

how much that jury was buying I don't

know the guy's gonna be taking major

heat Tom will give him 60 who do you

want to do the job 60 but we own if he

ever needs a favor tell him we'll take

care of them all right

all it takes is one dissenting voice

maybe you can live with finding him

guilty but I can't this is America

were you innocent till proven guilty in

the matter of the United States of

America versus John Gotti on the charges

of criminal conspiracy and racketeering

we the jury find the defendant John

Gotti not guilty

[Applause]

lucky day

rank suck I had been a trust him he was

setting me up to take the fall I could

see the end game now him walking me

choice I had to kill John but if I was

to do it others would have to go with

him like his brother Gene and Pete

his son John Jr to some I really liked

somebody didn't I started counting heads

people and four or five different crews

to get away with it I thought about it

again and realized it just wasn't doable

yellow-bellied dwarf son of a [ __ ]

let's go

the government called Salvatore Gravano

[Music]

a ratna suit

please give your name Salvatore Gravano

do you swear to tell the truth the whole

truth and nothing but the truth so help

you God I do it was the last thing in a

world I could have conceived doing and

know that once I did it all that I hold

sacred would be destroyed do you have a

nickname yes

Sammy Sammy the bull mr. Gravano how

many murders have you committed 18 or 19

and how would you describe the kind of

people that you were responsible for

killing cheetahs dope heads double

crosses people who broke our rules like

I'm doing here today and how many of

those murders were either ordered or

sanctioned by John Gotti 11 I believe

did John Gotti order the murder of Paul

Castellano yes and why was mr.

Castellano killed but it was quite a few

reasons why Paul was selling out the

family for his own businesses he was

having a number of problems with a lot

of people John and Angelo Ruggiero with

the tapes they felt that Paul was gonna

make a move on them so John decided to

make a move on Paul first

I gave them everything just like I

promised everything

[Music]

I'll take credit for what I said

understand but he's got to take credit

for those tapes

he made his moves I made mine the game

was over and John lost Sammy Gravano is

a little man full of evil connivance

manipulation and vanity who has tried to

clean his own slate by admitting to 19

murders 19 people some of whose families

are here in this courtroom today they'll

be lucky if they see this man served

three months for each murder where as

our justice system sunk to to award a

sick demented serial killer his freedom

for what for that man's head on a silver

platter and if any one of you have any

doubt about his ability to lie then you

just think about his wife the mother of

his two children who did not know for 14

years that he had killed her own brother

and then chopped him into little pieces

through a funeral for what was left of

them

I hand I want quiet in this courtroom

will the defendants rise

Madame forewoman please read the verdict

Castellano how do you find guilty count

Thomas Pilate how do you find guilty

Teflon is gone and the Don is covered

with Velcro all of the charges in the

indictment stuck

[Applause]

the mob in New York City in the USA is

living okay thanks anyway

want to say about me but I was lunching

I always loved doing the kid you you

guys mean everything to me

life's been swept away every last piece

where do you go from there where

my testimony helped the government

convict three seven other people smile

guys crooked cops labor leaders I took

him down like bowling pins mister

bravano stature and organized crime who

has made the leap he has made from one

social planet to another there's never

been a defendant whose impact on

organised crime and the suffocating hold

of that criminal octopus pond industry

laborer who has been so important he

sentence me to five years yeah I took

the deal to save my skin I did my time

and then I headed west I didn't see it

then but I see it now this whole thing

of us honor loyalty Brotherhood it was

all a pack of lies in reality it was

just one double-cross after another one

betrayal after another now there's no

family to protect nobody to kill

[Music]

they got away

take it away how does that lyin

cockroach live with himself only did to

me to the Bogata to his family his

friends

well in this country can a yellow

crybaby Judas get to make money and

become a hero Sammy Gravano once said to

me

rats are born not made you said I'd die

before becoming a rat well then I guess

he died went to heaven

you know what John Gotti's problem is he

thought he could walk on water

he thought the earth the moon and the

Sun all revolved around him and

everybody else was there to bow down and

kiss his blessed ass his out of control

ego I'm Italian that's what brought down

this pagada only the prosecutors a judge

and FBI think this Punk is even human in

fact they do so only to justify giving

him the deal they did he's a liar and a

coward he's gonna spend the rest of his

life running I'm still here standing

like a man Cosa Nostra till I die so

what's it like to be inside your mind do

you feel remorse

you want me to say I'm sorry is that

what you want what can I say I'm a

gangster what happened to happened you

gonna understand something that was the

life all right you're out of the witness

protection program now there's no one to

protect you so aren't you afraid for

your own life I suppose

someday somewhere somebody come looking

for me but until that day happens I'm

just gonna enjoy my life like anybody

else

whatever comes comes I'm ready
