The Godfather Scene 21 Summary

  • Back at the family compound, Tessio realizes his scheme has fallen apart when Tom tells him Michael won't be coming. Gangsters escort Tessio to the car where they'll later murder him, presumably.
  • At Carlo's house, Michael confronts him about Sonny's death. He gets Carlo to admit that he intentionally beat Connie in order to lure Sonny out of the compound so he'd be assassinated. Carlo confesses that Barzini was the one who put him up to it.
  • Michael says that he'll let Carlo live as long as he departs for Nevada and leaves the family for good. But, actually, he has Carlo murdered in the car as soon as Carlo gets in.
