I Mean I Know That He's Always Passing Along Vito's Orders - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
So in The Godfather novel Johnny Fontane is trying to produce his own movies and a Union official, Billy Goff, who is connected to the Corleones, tries to extort 50K from him. Johnny is considering just paying up, instead turns to Tom Hagen, who has been helping him with the whole project. Tom advises him not to pay up, says he'll deal with it and a few days later Tom has the Union official shot dead in his own home.
Vito has just been shot at this point, and is too ill to be consulted so Tom says that he'll talk to Sonny about the situation but that he will be the one who makes the final decision as to what will be done about the Union official so he personally ordered him to be killed.

Why am I so surprised
I mean he's a gangster too
That really shocked me though
I mean I know that he's always passing along Vito's orders
to the Capos
and others
but I did not expect him to directly order a kill
on his own iniative
Maybe he is the muscle end of the family after all
I mean he also threatens to kill Carlo
Maybe Tom had enough
of that Not a wartime Consigliere shit
