As time goes by and his position becomes stronger...
will he attempt any individual vendetta?
Look, we are all reasonable men here.
We don't have to give assurances
as if we were lawyers.
You talk about vengeance.
Is vengeance gonna bring your son back to you?
Or my boy to me?
I forego the vengeance of my son.
But I have selfish reasons.
My youngest son...
was forced to leave this country...
because of this Sollozzo business.
All right. And I have to make arrangements...
to bring him back here safely,
cleared of all these false charges.
But I'm a superstitious man.
And if some unlucky accident should befall him...
if he should get shot
in the head by a police officer...
or if he should hang himself in his jail cell...
of if he's struck by a bolt of lightening...
then I'm going to blame
some of the people in this room.
And that I do not forgive.
Don Vito Corleone

He could have been big here.
He could have had his own family.
Tom...
...what do I do now?
Frankie...
You were always interested
in politics and history.
I remember you talking about Hitler
back in '33.
Yeah, I still read a lot.
I get good stuff in there.
You were around the old-timers, who
built the organisation of the families,
basing them on the old Roman legions,
with "regimes", "capos" and "soldiers".
- And it worked.
- Yeah, it worked.
Those were the great old days,
you know.
We was like the Roman Empire.
The Corleone family
was like the Roman Empire.
Yeah...
...it was once.
Frankie...
When a plot against
the Emperor failed...
...the plotters were always
given a chance...
...to let their families keep their fortunes.
Right?
Only the rich guys.
The little guys got knocked off and all
their estates went to the Emperors.
Unless they went home and killed
themselves, then nothing happened.
And their families were taken care of.
That was a good break, a nice deal.
Yeah.
They went home...
...and sat in a hot bath...
...opened up their veins...
...and bled to death.
And sometimes they had a little party
before they did it.
Don't worry about anything,
Frankie Five-Angels.
Thanks, Tom. Thanks.
- See you, Tom.
- Addio, Frankie.

- Eriksson, waste the bitch.
- What?
You heard me. Grease her.
Get Reilly. I want that support.
Slicks, snakes, everything.
Right, sarge.
Big Brother 0-2,
this is Silent Twin 0-2, over.
I want you to waste her.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
- Kill the bitch.
- You're nuts!
Brownie would kick your ass on this.
He would not tolerate this bullshit!
Brownie ain't on my frequency no more.
Brownie's on dead frequency .
You on my frequency, motherfuc*ker?
If you ain't, you're K.I.A.,
just like the gooks.
