The Don sent Tom Hagen to California to see Jack Woltz about Johnny. When he got there Woltz was busy with the screening so he told Hagen to go over to his house for dinner. Once there Woltz showed Hagen around his huge mansion. Woltz had a massive stable with the most prized stallion in New York “Khartoum”. Just by looking at it Hagen knew that it was Woltz’s most prized possesion. Over dinner they discussed Johnny’s contract. Woltz was digusted by the fact that Hagen was sent all the over here all for Fontane, who Woltz described as “useless bum of an actor”. Hagen explained who his boss was but that just made Woltz even more mad and threw Hagen out of his house. The next night, whilst lifting up the bed sheets in hoop into his bed, Woltz foun the bloody, mangled head of Khartoum lying on the matress. He later granted Fontane’s contract.
Whilst in Califorinia the Don’s consigliori, Genco Abbandaddo, had past away, leaving Tom Hagen consigliori to the Don.
A man by the name of Virgil Sollozzo, whom was associated with another one of the Mafia families, the Tataglia’s, wished to hold a meeting with the Don. Sollozzo was a master of Narcotics. They called him “the Turk” as he grows his narcotics in Turkey. He offered to provide his drug services to the Don. But the Done refused, explaining that drugs will only destroy the family in time. Yet, as Sollozzo left the Don was still intruiged by him. He told Luca Brasi, a man renown for his agrovation, to go to the Tataglias and pretend that he is not happy with the Corleone family, to find out more about Sollozzo.
Once at the meeting place, Brasi was welcomed by Sollozzo. Brasi spoke only to the head of the Tataglias, Bruno Tataglia. Bruno offered him fifty thousand dollars to join the Tataglias. Of course Brasi accespted and with that Sollozzo stabbed a letter-openor through the chubby Italian hand of Luca Brasi. Bruno the procceded to choke Brasi to death with his black leather belt.
Around about Christmas time Michael Corleone, the Don’s youngest son, Kay Adams, a young blonde American girl who was Michael’s girlfreind, Tom Hagen and the Don all went shopping. Don Corleone walked out of the store and stopped off at the next shop which was a fruit stall. Just as he was picking out some to buy, a black car drove past him, shooting at him and hitting the Don twice.
Michael and Kay came rushing out of another store only to see the car drive off. The Don was put in hospital immediatly.
Don Vito Corleone had been in hospital for about one month. Michael Corleone came to visit him. He expected to find bodyguards protecting his father, but when he entered the room, only the nurse was there. Michael was outraged. After being told by the nurse that the police had sent them away for disrupting hospital services, he calmed down. Michael then knew what to do. He insisted on the nurse move the Don to another room, after some hesitiance they both picked up the bed and brought him the another room. Michael was walking down the hall to phone his older brother Santino, Sonny to most, when Enzo arrived un-expectadly. Together both Michael and Enzo rushed down to the front of the hospital.
Enzo had no-idea to what was going on. Michael just told him that when Michael told him to, he open his trench coat and place his hand in his pocket, as if he was going to pull out a gun.
A black car drove past. It was slowing down near the entrance until Enzo reached into his pocket and the car drove off.
Then the police arrived. They were wondering what all the fuss was about with the bodyguards. Michael didn’t hold back on insulting the police for taking away the body guards. The police chief whom Michael was adressing made the other officers hold-up Michael and the captain punched him in the jaw. Enzo stood there horryified. Just then Hagen came and took Michael and Enzo back.
The next day a Corleone family business meeting was called. Michael, Sonny, Clemenza (the man who took care of Bonasera’s case) and the healing Don were all there. Basically Sollozzo wanted to hold a meeting with Michael and capt. McCluskey who was the one who hit Michael. The meeting would take place at ‘Louie’s’ in the Bronx.
Michael wanted to finish them both off that night. Sollozzo, for shooting at his father and McCluskey for hitting him. This sort of reaction was un-like Michael but nobody held him back. After a while of discussion the Corleones had figuered out a plan of attack. Clemenza would make an un-tracable gun. He would hide it in the toilets. Sonny told his younger brother Michael what to do. He told him to go in there talk for a bit, go to the bathroom, get out the gun, walk out, take two shots at each of them in the head and walk out.
The next day had finally caome. The day were Michael could avenge the shooting of his father.
He met up with Sollozzo and McCluskey. McCluskey ordered the veal. Sollozzo and Michael spoke in Italian. Halfway through McCluskey’s veal Michael pardonned himself and went to the toilets. He soon found the gun and placed it in his pocket. H walked out the bathroom door and sat down with McCluskey and Sollozzo. Sollozzo starting talking, but before he could finish hi sfirst sentence Michael stood up and shot them both, then quickly walked out of the restaurant, leaving the carnage behind.
Michael then left Kay behind and went to live in the far hills in Sicily. Hagen took care of the fake passports.
Eventually the marriage between Carlo Rizzi and Connie Corleone starts to get a bit rocky. Sonny was at home when she rang him explaining that they had a verbal argument which led to Carlo beating Connie up. Sonny jumped in his car and drove off, heading for the house of Connie and Carlo.On the way Sonny had to stop at the state line. There was a both on either side of Sonny. He stopped his car. He waited for a while and then at least ten men all armed with machine guns jumped up from the booths and shot at Sonny through the booth glass. Sonny’s dis-assembled body fell out of his car and onto the road.
Back in Sicily Michael had met a beautiful girl by the name of Appollonia. After time they got marryied. One day, whilst trying to teach Appollonia to drive, Michael was payed a visit by Don Tommasino, head of the Tommasino mafia family in Palermo. He brought the sad news of Santino’s (Sonny’s) death. He also told Michael to move to a small villa near Siracusa for proctection.Michael and Appollonia were going to leave the next day.
The next day came. Michael walked out of the house and helped Appollonia with the lugagge in the boot. Appollonia waited in the car while Michael got the last suitcase. Just as Michael walked out of the house he saw a man slowly and very suspiciously walk away from the back of the car. Michael screamed out bout it was to no avail. The car exploded in a mini-mushroom cloud of red-orangy ash.
Michael decided to come back home to America.
Here he sold the family business which was importing Italian Olive Oil and moved to Las Vegas where he bought a hotel with a casino. Johnny Fontane signed a contract which made him make five appearances a year at the hotel singing. Carlo Rizzi was eventually choked to death when he made a false deal with Michael to send Carlo to Las Vegas with them. Michael had a little boy named Anthony and finally Don Vito Corleone died due to old age.
