:04:01
Nah. It'll play better
in court if they don't know.
:04:14
A not guilty
verdict had to be a verdict
:04:16
that no-one
would dare question.
:04:18
Danny Snyder was to remain
as Tommy and John's attorney.
:04:21
Michael's plan relied on Hell's
Kitchen to deliver information
:04:25
and keep quiet.
:04:27
Both were skills the
neighbourhood had in abundance.
:04:30
We set up a simple method
of communication.
:04:32
If Michael was sending,
:04:33
messages were left
for me at work
:04:35
to call my non-existent
girlfriend Gloria.
:04:37
If I needed to get word
to Michael,
:04:39
I would have someone
from the neighbourhood
:04:41
pick up an early edition
of the New York Times,
:04:43
write "Edmund" in the right-hand
corner of the Metro section
:04:46
and drop it in front
of Michael's apartment.
:04:52
For this plan to succeed,
we needed total secrecy
:04:54
and the only people
we completely trusted.
:04:57
The plan depended
on keeping Michael alive,
:04:59
which meant word had to get
to John and Tommy's killing crew
:05:01
that he was not an open target.
:05:03
After this night, Michael would
not be available to any of us.
:05:06
The only time we would
see him would be in court.
:05:09
That's it?
:05:11
Not quite. We got four witnesses
:05:13
who saw the shooting
are willing to testify.
:05:14
Gotta get that number down.
:05:16
I'll talk to King Benny.
:05:18
Good. I can handle two,
but, uh,
:05:21
you got to get us
one for our side.
:05:23
One what?
:05:24
One witness,
:05:26
a witness who will
put John and Tommy
:05:27
somewhere else on
the night of the murder.
:05:29
A witness they can't touch.
:05:31
Don't they got a name for that?
:05:34
The judge will call it perjury.
:05:36
I see. And what
are we calling it?
:05:39
A favour.
:05:43
Get up.
:05:44
Come on.
:05:47
Tony?
:05:48
Yeah, King?
:05:49
Bring Danny Snyder to see me.
:05:52
Danny Snyder the lawyer?
:05:53
You know more
than one Danny Snyder?
:05:55
No, King.
:05:56
Bring me the one you know.
