They're killed by somebody close to us - inside. That's not the catch - unless I'm very wrong, they're dead already. If we catch these guys do you think we'll be able to find out who's
THE GODFATHER 2 PLOT MOVIE
The movie (or books) don't ever actually say exactly who killed the assassins, but this conversation occurs after the hit: It's perfectly plausible that a scenario like this occurred and Michael's men killed everyone. If they cornered an assassin and the assassin raised his gun, it's unlikely they would be aiming for the shoulder or foot. These guys are mafia men - they're not trained soldiers. Michael's Guards - It is of course possible that Michael's guards killed the assassins. However, the biggest issue with this idea is the notion that Fredo could offer someone more than Michael could (or could intimidate someone more than Michael could). He could have had one of those men kill the assassins (then either hushed his man with money or killed him to silence him). If Fredo did kill the assassins, it's difficult to imagine he wasn't well aware there was an assassination plot.įredo's Men - Fredo is a caporegime, so he has a lot of men under him. However, if Fredo had killed them, it raises questions as to how he knew exactly where they would be (and how he could kill them with no other guard on the compound knowing).
Or, of course, he could have been well aware all along a hit was going to take place and killed the assassins out of self preservation. This could have happened two ways - he might have given Roth information allowing him to access the compound, or allowed a mole in, and once he realised what transpired, murdered the assassins inside the compound out of fear. As to who killed the failed-assassins, there are a few possibilities:įredo - He could have killed the assassins out of panic whenever he realised the hit had failed. So now we know the three people implicitly involved in the assassination attempt. Michael Corleone: You believed that story? You believed that?Ĭorleone: He said there was somethin' in it for me. Little help and close the deal fast, it'd be good for the family. That you were bein' tough on the negotiations, but if they could get a Something in it for me if I could help 'em out. He said that youĪnd - and Roth were in on a - a big deal together and that there was Johnny Ola bumped into me atīeverly Hills, and he said that he wanted to talk. I didn't know it was gonna be a hit, Mike. Michael Corleone: What about now? Is thereĪnything you can help me out with? Anything you can tell me now?Ĭorleone: They've got Pentangeli. You can decide for yourself how "in the know" Fredo really was:įredo Corleone: I haven't got a lot to say, Mike.įredo Corleone: I was kept pretty much in the dark. Whether Fredo was callous enough to give direct information that could be used, or simply angry and careless enough to let slip something innocuous, we don't know. We never find out what this information is. He sends Johnny to talk to Fredo, Michael's brother, and has him manipulate him into giving information that can be used to attempt an assassination. To do this, he uses Johnny Ola, his right hand man. There are a few reasons for this, the largest of which is resentment at Michael having killed Moe Greene in Godfather I. Then, some theories as to who killed the would-be assassinations can be drawn.Īs we know by the end of the film, Hyman Roth is behind the hit on Michael.
The first question that needs to be answered is who tried to kill Michael.
