- These movies always do that.
"Don't look this way, don't look that way".
By doing "don't look this way, that way,"
you're more conspicuous.
If you're just hanging out in a park
and talking to each other,
you're just sat at a bench, you're better off.
(upright bass jazz music)
I'm John Alite,
known in my neighborhood actually as Johnny A,
like in the past.
I was raised around the Mafia.
I grew up around the Ruggiano family, Murder Inc.
I started off as a kid running errands for George Gotti
and his brother that were Lucchese soldiers.
And slowly I worked my way up as an enforcer and a hitman
for the Gotti regime.
I was around some really nice guys,
but really famous Mafia guys as a kid.
I mean, at about three, four years old,
I was already in a boxing ring.
And by the time I'm 16,
George Gotti, he asks me, can I collect some money for him?
I go with a baseball bat.
Somebody from-- as a young kid,
that was my first experience
of really hurting somebody that way.
You know, as I kept moving forward,
I became more and more aggressive.
I started doing everything there was to do on the street,
the whole gamut of clients.
I wanted to make money, I wanted to make a mark for myself.
I wanted to continue to have that name as an enforcer,
but also have that name being levelheaded
and the reputation of being a gentleman and a nice guy,
and it's a hard mix to do.
During some of those trials, tribulations,
I'm also going to prison.
And at one point, when I got hit with several repo charges,
I went on the run and I think that's really,
that was the final straw of my life in the Mob.
And I just really-- it was a pill
that I just finally learned I need to swallow,
that this life isn't what I thought it was.
And when I came home, I changed my life
and I became an advocater for the youth communities.
I'm able to give kids the insight and future
of what their lives'll be like
if they continue on the path that I used to be on.
I've seen and I heard of the game Grand Theft Auto,
and I know a ton of kids that play it
and my friends' kids play it.
It's fantasy, it'll be nice
and pretty cool to watch and see.
These movies always do that.
"Don't look this way, don't look that way."
By doing "don't look this way/that way",
you're more conspicuous.
If you're just hanging out in a park
and talking to each other,
just sat at a bench. You're better off.
First off, sittin' in one spot is the worst thing you'd do.
If you're talkin' about hitting somebody,
you wouldn't do it in one spot,
you wouldn't sit in one spot.
If anything taught us all anything, sitting in one spot,
if that bench is wired up, that's it.
Actually, with a sniper that's capable,
I'm talkin' about somebody who's top sniper,
that wasn't bad.
I mean, just now recently in my country, in Albania,
they just hit somebody like that.
He was going to his car on a regular basis.
And the guy was up in a hotel.
He was dressed like a woman, and he hit him.
But you know, if you're good and you're capable
and you're professional, yeah,
that's not a bad hit, actually.
The hit itself was realistic if you got a good shooter.
- [Lester] They've rigged a jury
to throw a class-action lawsuit that would cover
the treatment costs of thousands of emphysema sufferers!
And there are four corrupt jurors on Redwood's books.
- Pay phone on a pay phone,
it's not that much of a problem back in the day.
So as long as they're on two different payphones
and those phones are clean and they're not in the areas,
so if the hit's gonna happen in Chicago, in a city,
and that phone call's in Florida,
two payphones from different areas, not a big deal.
But if you're in the area
and you're using those payphones on a regular basis,
sure they can be tapped.
- [Lester] I'll send you the details.
Oh, and we only have a few hours to make them disappear.
- Is that all, dawg? That's quite a favor.
- [Lester] And that's quite a house you're living in!
- The guy actually on the phone there, is not bad.
Even in the wording they have for him.
But the other guy stinks.
The other guy, what he's saying is not realistic,
it's stupid, he's just terribly casted for this video game.
But what happened that we know?
And you're not hitting four people and it's not necessary.
If you've got a jury you only need to hit one of them.
If a juror gets killed,
that case is getting shut down for a minute.
They're not gonna use the alternative,
it's not like somebody just got sick.
So there'll be an investigation,
they'll get rid of every juror on that pool
because of it, exposure,
they don't know who's been compromised.
And that jury pool is gone anyway,
so you don't need to hit all four.
(tires screeching)
(door opens)
(man screaming fearfully)
(woman screaming)
(gunshot)
- [Player] One down,
(gunshot)
two down.
(car revving)
- [Motorcyclist] Whoa!
- So the first one's completely ridiculously insane.
But these other ones really ain't that bad
if you're really a good shooter.
I mean, obviously to have somebody on a scaffold like that
convenient for ya, unless he had information,
the guy's cleaning windows in the whole building all night,
then you know, it's okay.
And again, if you're an expert shooter and the same morning
the guys on a boat, because if you miss it's over,
now they know you're trying to hit them.
And they're going to go in the wind.
At least they were done a little more discreetly
and the one on the bike, same.
- Again, if it's a professional hit,
they will have the outlay of how he travels.
So now you have a timeline
and you can conveniently pick where you want to get him.
So that's, you know,
actually doing some homework on the guy,
gettin' his schedule down pat,
which is important if you're gonna do something like this.
(woman exclaims)
- [Penny] Blame it on the city!
(bus engine revving)
(horns blaring)
- If he was the only customer that bus
for whatever crazy reason,
even jab him with something, stop the bus,
say there's something wrong,
walk past him and jab him with somethin'.
Why would you go to the extent of getting him on a bus?
If you know he's getting to the bus
and getting off that bus on a regular basis,
just hit him before or after,
when he gets home in front of his front door
Farfetched, obviously,
and gotta be for very young kid to play that intense,
what they're doing.
I would never play it or waste my time with it.
No, and not even for kids.
It was a disaster.
