EXT DAY:

MALL (WINTER 1945) HIGH ANGLE VIEW of THE CORLEONE MALL. The gateway now has a long black car blocking it. There are more BUTTON MEN stationed more formally; and some of them visibly carrying rifles; those of the houses close to the courtyard have MEN standing by open windows. It is clear that the war is escalating. A car pulls up and out get CLEMENZA, LAMPONE, MICHAEL and HAGEN. MICHAEL's jaw is wired and bandaged. He stops and looks up at the open window. We can see MEN holding rifles.

商场（1945年冬天）高角度的CORLEONE商场。门口现在有一辆长长的黑色轿车挡住了它。更多的按钮人更正式地驻扎在那里；其中一些人明显携带步枪；那些靠近院子的房子有男人站在敞开的窗户旁。很明显，战争正在升级。一辆车停了下来，把克莱门扎、LAMPONE、迈克尔和哈根带了出来。迈克尔的下巴用铁丝网包扎着。他停下脚步，抬头望向敞开的窗户。我们可以看到男人拿着步枪。
