His hand, with the coin in it, falls inside the car.
His arms, shoulders are riddled by the fire, and still it continues, as though the ASSASSINS cannot take a chance that he will survive it.
Suddenly, he lets out an enormous ROAR, like a bull, and actually, opens the door, and steps out of the car, UNDER fire.
His face is hit; and finally he falls to the ground.
A FULL SHOT...as the ASSASSINS scramble for their cars and make off in the distance.
SONNY's BODYGUARDS stop a safe distance away, realizing they are too late.
INT NITE:
DON'S LIVING ROOM (SPRING 1946) View on HAGEN's ashen face in the living room. He is silent a moment, and then:
HAGEN:
(quietly) OK. Go to Clemenza's house and tell him to come here right away.
He'll tell you what to do.
The MEN leave him alone. He is quiet, standing in the middle of the living room a moment. He looks in the direction of the kitchen, where he can see fragments of MAMA moving around.
INT NITE:
UPSTAIRS (SPRING 1946) TOM proceeds up stairs, and quietly in the direction of the DON's room. He opens the DON's door. Looks in.
INT NITE:
DON'S BEDROOM (SPRING 1946) The DON in his hospital bed. Asleep under sedation. HAGEN hesitates. He cannot go in; he cannot tell the OLD MAN. He closes the door.
INT NITE:
DON'S OFFICE (SPRING 1946) HAGEN alone in the office. He is drinking. He looks up at the sound of cars; the CAPOREGIMES are arriving. Then he hears footsteps.
The door opens; and in a robe, with slippers, DON CORLEONE slowly enters the room. He walks directly to his stuffed armchair, sits down. His face is stern, as he looks into HAGEN's eyes.
DON CORLEONE:
Give me a drop of anisette.
HAGEN rises, and pours a glass for the OLD MAN.
DON CORLEONE:
My wife was weeping before she fell asleep, outside my window I saw my caporegimes to the house, and it is midnight. So, Consigliere of mine, I think you should tell your Don what everyone knows.
HAGEN:
(quietly) I didn't tell Mama anything. I was about to come up and wake you and tell you. Just now.
DON CORLEONE:
But you needed a drink first.
HAGEN:
Yes.
DON CORLEONE:
Now you've had your drink.
Pause.
HAGEN:
They shot Sonny on the Causeway.
(pause) He's dead.
DON CORLEONE blinks. One feels that just for a second he loses all physical strength; he clasps his hands in front of him on the top of the desk and looks into HAGEN's eyes.
