The Godfather Part II reaches its climax in a montage of assassinations and death, reminiscent of the end of The Godfather. As he arrives at an airport to be taken into custody, Hyman Roth is killed by Rocco Lampone disguised as a journalist, who is immediately shot dead in his turn. On the military base, Frank Pentangeli is found dead, having followed Hagens instructions and committed suicide. Finally, Fredo is murdered by Al Neri while they are fishing on Lake Tahoe - while Fredo is saying a Hail Mary to help catch a fish.
The penultimate scene takes place in 1941, and the Corleone family is preparing a surprise birthday party for Vito. Sonny introduces Carlo Rizzi, Connies future husband and betrayer of Sonny, to his family. They all talk about the recent attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, and Michael shocks everybody by announcing that he has just enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Sonny ridicules Michaels choice, and Tom Hagen mentions how his father has great expectations for Michael. Fredo is the only one who supports his brothers decision. Sal Tessio comes in with the cake for the party, and when Vito arrives, all but Michael leave to greet him.
The final scene in the film is Michael sitting by himself at Lake Tahoe, in silent contemplation.
在西西里,少年时代的维托为报父仇,袭击了当地黑手党首领唐乔奇。在母亲的掩护下,维托得以逃脱,并来到了美国。这已经是1901年的事了,第二代教父回忆起父亲的青年时代,不由得深深感到了创业的艰辛。
