The Godfather

Two New York City detectives visit Kay Adams at her parents’ home in New Hampshire. They ask if she has seen or heard from Michael. Three weeks earlier, they tell her, a police captain had an altercation with Michael, and very soon after, he was shot. Kay has not heard from Michael. After the men leave, her parents tell her that they knew about her relationship with Michael but had been waiting for her to tell them. Kay then goes to the Corleone home in Long Beach. Tom Hagen tells her that they do not know where Michael is, but that he is laying low since he is afraid he might be accused of McCluskey’s murder. Then Carmella, Don Corleone’s wife, comes in and reprimands Tom for not offering Kay coffee and a ride home. While they drink coffee, Carmella tells Kay that Michael will be gone for two or three years, and that she should find another young man to marry. Kay realizes that she has just been told by Michael’s mother that Michael did commit the murder.
