"Sons of Ecstasy": New documentary on "Sammy the Bull" Gravano's Arizona drug war

• "Am I a rat? I took f--king 20 years to help my kids and my family," an agitated Gravano yells into the camera.
• "I don't give a flying f--k. We'll go to war, like that," he says with a snap of his fingers.

Catch up quick: Gravano, once the underboss for the Gambino crime family, famously became a government witness in 1991 and implicated boss John Gotti and 28 other mobsters.

• Gravano confessed to carrying out 19 killings on mob orders but was sentenced to only five years for helping the government.
• After a short stint in Colorado as part of the witness protection program, he moved his family to Arizona in 1995 where he lived openly.
• He opened Uncle Sal's restaurant in Scottsdale and a pool installation business and was frequently seen around the East Valley.

Yes, but: "Old habits die hard," as the "Sons of Ecstasy" preview says.

• Gerard tried to take over Arizona's ecstasy scene in the late 90s, starting a rivalry with British stockbroker Shaun Attwood.
• Soon, Sammy, his ex-wife and daughter also got involved in the turf war, which led to the entire family facing drug charges in the early 2000s.

State of play: In 2002, Sammy was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released in 2017 and lives in the Valley.
