The Godfather Scene 10 Summary

  • Later, on the night of Michael's mission, Tom, Clemenza, Michael, Tessio (the other capo along with Clemenza), and Sonny sit around, waiting to here where the meeting with Sollozzo will be held so they can plant a gun. It turns out that it's at Louis's restaurant in the Bronx.
  • As Michael prepares to leave, Sonny says he'll tell their mother and Kay that Michael sends his love. He'll be fleeing the country once he succeeds.
  • Sollozzo and McCluskey apologize to Mike for what happened to his father and for hitting him, and said they wanted things to go differently. McCluskey frisks him.
  • They act like they're going to drive to Jersey, before doubling back on the bridge and heading to the Bronx (to Michael's relief).
  • At the restaurant, after acting like he's going to make a deal with Sollozzo, Michael goes to the bathroom. He finds the planted gun and comes back out.
  • After a moment at the table, he shoots Sollozzo in the head, and then shoots McCluskey in the throat and in the head. He drops the gun and walks out, where he gets picked up.
