- In New York, Don Corleone is sitting down with the other Dons in a big meeting to end the war.
- Don Corleone explains that he's still opposed to drugs, and only refused to give them political help on that one issue. But Don Barzini says that it's not fair that they shouldn't receive the aid. Another Don, Zaluchi, argues for trying to control the drug trade and says they should only sell it to African-Americans (he's quite racist).
- Don Corleone agrees to forgo the vengeance of his son. But he says that if anyone tries to kill Michael, he will seek vengeance. In the end, he has to cave to the drug deal and make peace, embracing Tattaglia.
- Outside in the car, he tells Tom that he didn't know Barzini was the mastermind until after this meeting just now.
- Michael's home, and still wants to avenge the deaths of Sonny and his wife. He tells Vito about this in the family's vegetable garden, and Vito doesn't disagree, but says that Michael has a lot of time to think about it.
- Michael goes to see Kay and tells her that he's going to try to turn his father's business into a legal and legitimate enterprise.
- At first Kay refuses to marry him, but he says that he loves her and wants to have children with her. They get in a car together.
