The End (Tom-1968):

Michael,

When Sonny died you remember what your father said? "But first you needed a drink".

I think I need a drink.

There you go- poured it myself.

Here we are at the end. You've triumphed. And I helped, I know.

But Michael- The sins of the family. They'll weigh on us till the day we die.

Do you remember Vegas?

Don't look at me like that- you know what I speak of.

I walked into that brothel Michael and I said things I didn't mean. Things I can't live with. But they're things I'll have to die with. Things I can't face my wife with.

That's why I sent her away. And asked for you.

The story your father and I wouldn't tell you about Brasi. Now you have your own.

And I said to that politician "All that will remain is our friendship".

What remained was that woman's dead body Michael. As I said before I said things that night I didn't mean.

The fifth amendment? Michael- I'm dying. And Fredo's long dead. Lampone too for that matter.

As I said I said things I didn't mean Michael. Things that went against everything me and Sonny believed in. Against everything friendship is supposed to be about.

I told that fool she was no one. Everyone is someone Michael.

As are you, as am I. As are we all.

This is important.

I'm headed to perdition Michael. I won't do what Genco did with your father and ask you to save me.

But I'll warn you.

So are you.
