the biggest single piece of convincing evidence in my mind is his line to Ola during the late night telephone call:
"You guys lied to me. You get me in deep enough already."
What could he have been lied to about, other than what the result of his aid to Roth et al would be (i.e kidnapping, murder, watching Kay get undressed, or whatever)?
I couldn't agree more. You guys lied to me about what? If Fredo knew it was going to be a hit then why would he say this to Ola?
After the attempted hit on Michael Fredo was scared and realized that he screwed up big time. He realized that whatever Ola and Roth told him was a lie and now his brother had almost been killed because of something that he did. He was so scared when Ola called him because he never knew that Ola and Roth would attemt a hit on Mike.
This makes me realize even more that it HAD to be Fredo who opened the drapes. Fredo must have been mislead into believing that his opening the drapes for Ola would lead to some sort of a kidnapping, or something of that nature.
And when they opened fire on Michael, almost killing him and Kay, Fredo knew at that moment that he had been lied to, mislead and that HE screwed up big time.
He didn't know it was gonna be a hit. But he did know that Ola and Roth were behind the attempted hit because Ola was the one who asked him to open the drapes.
I am now convinced more than ever that Fredo was the one who opened those drapes, but did so never dreaming that they would attempt to kill Michael.
