The Vatican announced today...
that Pope Paul VI has cancelled his Sunday blessing...
due to ill health.
His physician has ordered total bedrest...
and cessation of all activities.
The purpose of this meeting is to ratify...
the motion passed by our shareholders in New York.
What do you think about Altobello?
A very talented man.
He has kept the peace between our Sicilian and American friends.
The saint of reason.
The Corleones left drugs, so New York is weak, and Palermo is strong.
Your enemies always get strong on What you leave behind.
Who could give the order for that massacre...
and still pressure the Vatican deal?
Only Lucchesi can reach between these two worlds.
Is there someone in the Church we can turn to?
Someone we can tell our problem to?
Cardinal Lamberto.
A wise and good man... very influential.
He will see you.
Politics and crime, they're the same thing.
The wheelchair, for Don Tommasiho.
Pope Paul VI, Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church...
died last night at 9:40 pm.
The Pope was 8] years 0/01...
and had been in poor health for the last several months.
I am honoured, Don Altobello, that you've come from Palermo to visit me.
Hey, the little kid! He's grown.
Do the donkey for me.
It's been some time since we did business together.
You are my "ace in the hole," as we say in America.
I have a stone in my shoe. You can remove it.
Only one stone?
It's dangerous. A famous man.
You will have to take precautions.
Tell me What to do. Then I will tell you my price.
Ah, what bread!
Olive Oil...
Virgin... only in Sicily.
To death.
"Oh father, my father!"
"Give me some time to pray to the Lord."
The Baroness of Carini had betrayed her husband...
and fallen in love with her cousin.
"There will be no forgiveness!"
Her father stabbed her through the heart.
Father, Where are you going? Would you like a ride?
I know you. You're Mosca of Montelepre.
You were an assassin then and you're an assassin now.
I know Michael Corleone is at your house.
I will pass through the gates with you.
What is it? What's wrong?
They found Don Tommasino shot.
Is he dead?
My master is dead. Blood calls for blood.
I must have revenge!
Some day, you may have to do a difficult service for me.
Command me.
I will avenge him!
Totals...
Lorscheider, 1 vote.
Siri, 11 votes.
Lamberto, 99 votes.
Do you accept your election as supreme pontiff?
Oh God, shed light on the decision they have taken on my behalf.
I accept.
By what name do you wish to be called?
John Paul the First.
I will do things "right away," rather than in "a little While"...
Mr Lucchesi's house?
I bring a message from Michael Corleone.
Let him in.
Tea, Your Holiness? It will help you sleep.
This is from Vincent Corleone.
The Holy Father is dead!
Speak...tell me.
You have lost the faith of the people.
He who builds on the people builds on mud.
And Michael Corleone's message?
It's very important. I must whisper it in your ear.
He's clean.
Power wears out those who don't have it.
