1:45:01
Boy, there'd been so many new guys
in the family coming and going...

1:45:05
... could've been anyone squealing.
1:45:07
All I thought about
was trying to keep cool.

1:45:09
Keep from getting burned.
1:45:22
- Somebody set us up.
- Don Vito says...

1:45:25
...if he's arrested,
wants everybody with him.

1:45:28
- What kind of crazy order is that?
- Don't worry.

1:45:31
You'll get off light.
It's already arranged.

1:45:34
Oh, no, Tony. I'm not taking the rap
for somebody else.

1:45:47
Therefore, this court sentences
Joseph Valachi...

1:45:50
...to the federal penitentiary...
1:45:52
...there to serve not less than 15 years
from this day forward.

1:45:56
You get me an appeal.
1:45:59
I can stand for five.
But if that 15 sticks...

1:46:02
...I’m not going into the can alone.
You tell Bender that.

1:46:05
What do you have to do
before you fight back?

1:46:07
I told you everything I had to say.
Your books are up-to-date.

1:46:11
That's not enough. Think about
Appalachian for a minute.

1:46:13
Think about all those heroes
running through the woods.

1:46:17
- I thought about that a lot.
- Stand up, for God's sake.

1:46:20
Joe, listen, there's
a Senate hearing commission.

1:46:23
They can make a law.
1:46:25
That law will cut them down, prohibit
their activities once and for all.

1:46:28
But you have to speak, Joe. You have
to tell them what you told me.

1:46:32
- What's in it for you?
- The same thing that's in it for you.

1:46:34
A kind of peace. You wanna
stay in hell, that's your business.

1:46:37
I'm offering you a way out
the other side.

1:46:41
Suppose I talk to this commission.
Then what?

1:46:46
A law goes on the books,
and I guarantee it'll be enforced.

1:46:49
And I'm still in solitary confinement
the rest of my life.

1:46:51
But at least
you won't go in there blind.
