Becoming John Gotti's Hitman | Locked Up Abroad

I was being asked to be John Gotti's hitman. If I refused, John Gotti would kill me. I understood that the key part of my plan was to get Georgie Grosso drunk on drugs to keep him loose, so there was no problem killing him.

I'm at the bar and Georgie Grosso walks in. I go, "Hey George, come on, come over. We're all having shots." And he goes, "I just want to leave earlier and just have one shot. Ain't gonna kill you." I have a shot, and once he puts down the first one, I say, "Okay, I got him."

Once I have Georgie drunk and high, he's going to want to continue to party. I tell Georgie, "Go shotgun." I sit right behind Georgie Grasso's seat because from there, I'm going to choose where I think it's comfortable to shoot him in the head.

We're driving down this quiet road, and he's laughing and I'm laughing as we're having that bent up somewhere in the back of your conscience. You're saying, "Am I going to do this? Really, am I going to take this guy's life?"

And then the other side of me is saying, "You promised. If you don't pay this order, somebody I trust is going to kill me too." And I'm nervous. Can I really do this?

Just do it. He's going to get killed one way or another. I'm not getting killed for this guy. I finally picked up the gun, I stuck it around the headrest, and I just...

Nobody said anything. It kind of really hit me. Wow, this guy's gone. I really killed this guy.

As I look back on it, that was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. You just killed yourself with that bullet. Although you're not in the ground, you just destroyed your life.

You.
