Good point Turnbull. But then again we don't know if they were fooling Fredo into believing that if he helped them out, things would work out for the Corleones and Michael would realize that it was Fredo who was instrumental in making things work and then would have to reward Fredo for "doing a good job." Or perhaps they fooled Fredo into thinking that if he helped out, they would make sure that Michael would give him a piece of the pie.

There are so many scenerios that we can create out of the Fredo situation, but I guess we'll never really know.

I just cannot believe that Fredo KNEW that they were going to hit Mike.
