"You Shoot Him In The Head, I'll Get Rid Of The Body" | Sammy "The Bull" Gravano

[Music] hey how you doing how was your uh christmas hope it went well went well for me i'm gonna get into another story for you guys to enjoy started off in 1990 when me and john gotti were arrested we were put into the hole and they went to the judge they wanted to hold us without bail as a threat to society and he did that and we were in the hole our lawyers went back to the judge and said they can't fight their case from being in the hole the legal meetings would be very difficult and there's no reason for them to be in the hole they didn't do anything within the prison system they're just in the hole so the judge talked with the government and after different things were shot back and forth between our lawyers and the government the judge said i don't believe that they could fight their case properly from in the hole they haven't done anything wrong i want them put in population the government argued against that for a little bit the judge said don't force a bad decision out of me if they're not put in population i will look at their proposal for bail the government didn't want us out of prison they wanted us to fight from the prison from the hole so the prison turned around and took a tear within the hole cleared it out there was eight cells they were going to put eight men in there by themselves at the end of the tier there's a row of bars so you're stuck in that one tier and you're on the ninth floor which is the hole i had a cell by myself john gotti had a cell by himself frankie lecacio did there was a guy johnny khan he was the head of the chinese they don't call it mafia but the chinese mafia johnny khan there were two guys were terrorists indians they did some bombing in india with some generals they bombed and some involvement in the united states they were in there as well there was a puerto rican guy who was the head of a very powerful drug gang there was a guy named joe doggety irish guy i.r.a type of guy his story was he was fighting for freedom in ireland against english control and uh they're almost like a military civilian organization and they fought you guys know what the ira is and was he got arrested and he was brought to a prison in england i understood this prison in england there was all ira members the gods and the prison couldn't control the members they controlled the bosses they would talk to a guy who was a captain they had ranks like military ranks and they would tell him what they wanted done how to clean or what to do and he would tell the irm ira members what to do and that's how the orders came down the uh the actual guys didn't listen to the guards or the prison they listened to their leader and their leader listened to the prison so that's the way it went on in that prison which is a little weird i never heard of that but he was telling me about it one day him and a few other ira members escaped the prison in the process of escaping he killed a prison guard and he got away the god that he killed was margaret thatcher's nephew now they had the hearts for this kid something awful he escaped and with a little bit of help he found his way into the united states in the united states they came to the mafia for help mafia had some connections in manhattan in an irish pub they put him in that irish pub as a bartender the english had this group it's almost like our cia and they were looking for him high and low they did find him in that bar they arrested him and they put him in prison and he was one of the guys on that tier he was so popular that a newspaper gave him he would write an article for them every week one week he wrote an article about john gotti myself frankie lacasio how unfair it was how we were put under these conditions they bullshitted the judge that this was population because we would be able to come out into the hall sit at a couple of tables there was a television hanging from the ceiling at the end of the tear where the buzz was there was a phone and they told the judge this was population it really wasn't but that's where we did our time in that area there was a lot of stories that went on there's a story that was in my book about the oranges i'll tell it again frankie le casio got a job that they would take him in the kitchen and he would clean the kitchen so when the food came up it would sit in the kitchen and then they would distribute it to everybody who's in the hole on the whole ninth floor he went out to go clean the kitchen one day john would sleep until about 11 12 o'clock in the afternoon me and frankie would get up seven o'clock as soon as they opened up we would come out we would hang out we'd watch a little television maybe play little cards i got a little friendly with this johnny khan and i used to play cards with him a little bit when you come over to brooklyn bridge into manhattan there's a big building with a big chinese letter or something on that was his building it's a crazy story with him when he got busted he got busted with his wife one day while i'm playing cards he said sammy the american government really dirty i said yeah tell me about it what did they do to you he said they busted my girlfriend a couple of weeks later and they put my girlfriend and my wife in the same cell now i lost both of them i thought it was funny i laughed he wasn't think it was so funny but uh eventually he did laugh about it he hated john gotti with a passion with a passion one day he told me says i have the prince a prince in china he lives in the mountains he's so powerful this guy he has a lot of people love him and he has an army of about 10 000 people so the government to go get him or to do anything would be like a small little war so they just left him alone the prince had told johnny khan cooperate become an informant don't worry about it when you come out on bail you'll leave the united states and you come and live with me in the mountains and that was his plan that's what he was going to do and he said sammy you're a good man you have a bad case when you get out i'm going to give you people to get in touch with you come to china you come in the mountains and you'll live with me i get you a beautiful woman and you live here for the rest of your life so i make john gotti come too so i said i thought you didn't like him he said no i don't like him he'll be sorry he came here i'll make him die real slow i said don't talk to me like that bro you know i'm arguing with him but he's my boss and he's my friend please i don't want to be in this kind of conversation i stopped i got up i stopped playing cards he grabbed my arm apologized please sammy i don't mean no disrespect to you he's a bully okay i want to stop talking about them and i sat down and we played cards we had a cup of coffee and well anyway one day when frankie went out he got these 12 oranges it was early in the morning 9 o'clock john is generally sleeping he says sammy picked up his shirt i'll pop 12 most beautiful oranges you ever want to see better than the oranges i saw on the street i said where the [ __ ] did you get those in the kitchen they don't give us this stuff he says it's probably for the gods and i stole it take one he gave me one he took one and he put the other 10 in his cell john got up and came out about an hour and a half later 10 10 30 whatever it was much earlier than he would normally get up and he had to push on a mile long he must have overheard this conversation we had me and frankie so i said good morning boss he grunted yeah yeah i knew something was up frankie saw him while he was coming out of his cell and frankie's no mutt he's a real tough guy so when i say he came out like a puppy i don't mean that in a negative way but he came out seeing his boss like a puppy had a gift for him grabbed the 10 oranges came over to the table plopped them on the table hey john this is for you i had told them when he brought them back give it to the boss he's the boss give him all of them we'll eat hours now and give him the whole tent so john looked at him and said stick those oranges up your ass pointed to me says he's not the boss i'm the boss you gave it to him

he's blasting the [ __ ] out of frankie like i said he's not a mutt he's a real tough guy and it was pathetic to hear this especially in front of all these other people i didn't like it i was told to

kill another boss sammy nobody ever talked to me like that in my entire life he had tears literally running down his face to see a man like him like that i said frankie do you really feel like that yes i put my hand out i said when we get out of here we'll kill him but i will tell you this frankie i'll never be anybody's under boss again if we get out of here and we kill him i'm going to be the

there when you bring them in you shoot them in the [ __ ] head i'll get rid of the body you go back to them and say he never came to the party i don't give a [ __ ] who pulls the trigger dead is dead we hugged and we kissed but anyway getting back to joe doggety he was a rough and tumble guy good guy wrote the articles he was a real decent guy when senior bush was the president and he had lost i believe and he was about to leave they took joe doggety in the dead of the night got his ass and shipped him out back to england now all these years he was there and he was there quite a while he was winning appeals he was fighting extradition because he would never get a fair trial he would never get a fair anything i mean this is margaret thatcher you know he's finished we knew that you're dead bro you killed a nephew plus you're in the ira and you've been fighting them for years so you're finished but we thought after winning and winning and winning that he would stay he became so famous right down on the outside of the prison there's a street they named it doggity square with his name after him the irish people supported him he would get visits and uh but finally he was gone from what i heard later on that um he was released in 1998 i believe he's working with disadvantaged kids and trying to make the communities the irish and the english get along better i think they get along pretty good now but that's what it was i thought you guys would enjoy this if you enjoyed it hit like if you want me to tell stories like this subscribe to me it gives me more strength to do
