John Gotti: Rise of the Teflon Don - Part 2 | From Capo to Boss

John Gotti: From Capo to Boss – Part 2 | The Fall of Paul Castellano and the Making of a Mob Legend In this explosive second installment of our four-part documentary series on the life of John Gotti, we trace his dramatic rise from street-level capo to the ruthless architect behind one of the most infamous hits in Mafia history — the 1985 assassination of Paul Castellano, boss of the Gambino crime family. Set against the backdrop of New York City’s shadowy underworld, Part Two begins in the late 1970s, as Gotti returns home from prison determined to rebuild his life. On the surface, he’s a family man working a legitimate job in Howard Beach. Behind the scenes, he’s running the powerful Bergin crew from the back of his Bergin Hunt and Fish Social Club, commanding loyalty, money, and fear. The FBI watches closely. The NYPD bugs his phones. And even as Gotti’s star rises inside the Gambino organization, so does the tension between him and his boss, Paul “Big Paul” Castellano — a man who lives like royalty in his Staten Island “White House” mansion while demanding endless tribute from his men. Through detailed narration and historical accuracy, this episode chronicles how Gotti built his empire while the Bureau scrambled to keep up. We explore the cat-and-mouse game between Gotti and FBI Agent Stephen Morrill, Gotti’s growing gambling habit, and the inner conflicts that began tearing the Gambino family apart. But the seeds of Castellano’s downfall weren’t sown in a boardroom — they started in a kitchen. When investigators wiretapped Angelo Ruggiero’s home and heard him gossiping about drug deals, family politics, and Castellano’s hypocrisy, it triggered a chain reaction that would change Mafia history forever. Those tapes exposed the deep divisions between the Dellacroce and Castellano factions and turned trusted allies into conspirators. As the FBI built its case and internal loyalty crumbled, Gotti began to see the writing on the wall. His mentor Aniello Dellacroce was dying, the boss was plotting to dismantle his crew, and his best friend was on the verge of bringing the whole house down. Gotti decided that the only way to survive — was to strike first. This episode takes you inside the secret meetings, betrayals, and deadly diplomacy that led to the December 16, 1985 hit at Sparks Steakhouse. With meticulous planning, disguises, and cold-blooded execution, Gotti and his men ambushed Castellano and his driver Tommy Bilotti in broad daylight, changing the power structure of the American Mafia forever. From the tragic death of Gotti’s son Frank Gotti, to the FBI’s failed attempts to bug his club, to the rise of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano and Frank DeCicco, every thread in this story leads to one of the most shocking mob assassinations in U.S. history.
