You guys are TFF. Your pretend Roth, Ola, Fredo conversation only proves my point that Rocco was the person to take care of the hit scene. Left Wing...there's some holes around here; but not in my "theory."

Roth would not have told Rocco HOW to do the hit. That would have been Rocco's plan. Rocco could have varied his plans to kill Michael any way of his (Rocco's) choosing within the time frame of hit night. As I've said before, and your silly dialogs prove, one of Michael's bodyguards HAD to betray him for the plot to work at Michael's home.

Turnbull, I agree with you that it was part of Roth's plan to let Pentangeli be the fall guy. But Pentangeli was one of the plotters. Why did Michael give Pentangeli his "In my home..." speech? Also, when Tom met Pentangeli at the army base Tom said, "Frankie, when a plot against the emperor fails..." and Pentangeli did not deny that he was a plotter.

Who killed the shooters??? If you guys can't figure it out, oh well... That's just the beginning of the puzzle. And it isn't hard to figure out...it does require a little thinking...and you don't need to search for another script or say the movie is flawed because you don't understand it.
