MICHAEL:
The same man who tried in Nevada... Hyman Roth, not Pentangeli.
FREDO:
But, you told me yourself...
MICHAEL:
It was never Pentangeli... I've always known that. It was Roth all along. He talks to me as a son; as his successor, but the old man thinks he'll live forever.
FREDO:
What do you want me to do?
MICHAEL:
To go tonight, with me, as though we know nothing. I've already made my move.
FREDO:
What is it? Can I help?
MICHAEL:
The old man will never bring in the New Year.
Fredo realizes what he means; looks immediately to Bussetta, who had been sitting near the door and the musicians. He is gone.
INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - MOVING VIEW ON BUSSETTA - NIGHT The first time ever away from Michael, moving toward us quickly. He stops, knocks on the door of Roth's suite.
Then quickly for a man his size, he moves without noise to the adjoining door, opens it with a key, and disappears inside.
A moment elapses on the empty corridor, and then a roused Johnny Ola, opens the first door. He steps out into the corridor, to see who had knocked. Confused, he is about to return inside, when Bussetta easily breaks his neck in two from behind.
INT. THE SUITE - MED. VIEW - NIGHT as Bussetta quietly pulls the limp body of Johnny Ola, his head bent at an impossible angle, and lays it at the foot of the couch.
EXT. PRESIDENTIAL PALACE - NIGHT Guards who are regular troops patrol the Palace in twos, carrying machine weapons.
Now an elite officer, checks the identification of the various cars carrying dignitaries, as they are driven up to the Palace. The one being inspected at the moment contains Fredo and Michael. We can see the beautifully dressed people on their way to the reception, and sense the cheerful mood of this New Year's Eve.
INT. THE SUITE - NIGHT Bussetta bends over Ola's body, tying the wrists and knees with electrical extensions. He then easily carries the body to the small balcony which all the rooms have.
EXT. THE BALCONY - NIGHT Bussetta swings the body over the side of the balcony railing; tying the extension cord to the railing, and suspending the body so that it is invisible both from the inside and out during the night.
INT. PRESIDENTIAL PALACE - VIEW ON THE MAIN FOYER - NIGHT The PRESIDENT, his WIFE and six oldest CHILDREN great formally the many beautifully and affluently dressed guests.
He speaks to them in Spanish, as one by one they file to him.
Michael and Fredo are presented in a group with several other Americans, including several of the American businessmen with interests in Cuba.
EXT. STREETS OF HAVANA - MED. VIEW - NIGHT The excitement of the night is beginning to build; people are out in the streets; poor people, but they are enthusiastic and lively.
NEW VIEW:
Traffic stops, as an ambulance speeds its way to a hospital; SIREN going.
INT. THE SUITE - NIGHT Bussetta delicately picks up a small satin cushion that had fallen from the couch, and replaces it as though nothing had happened. Slowly he cracks the door open which adjoins Roth's bedroom. There is a slight commotion; whispered voices.
BUSSETTA'S VIEW Terri, Mrs. Roth, is crying. A group of men lift Hyman Roth's frail body onto a stretcher.
CLOSE ON BUSSETTA realizes that this is the man he is to kill.
CLOSER VIEW ON ROTH He is alive; breathing hard with his mouth dry and open.
