Let's not forget that it was Tom who arranged the murders of both Khartoum AND Geary's hooker. ;\)


I always thought that it was left hazy as to exactly who had killed the horse?

The Don had LOTS of friends and connections. He could have had that arranged by his friends on the West Coast, no?


I don't find anything in the novel that even remotely indicates that Luca was involved in Khartoum's destruction, even a hazy one. The same is true of the film. The novel does state that Vito instructed Tom about how to handle the situation and that Tom was sure Vito's instructions would solve the problem. In the saga version of the film there is a scene where Vito says that he will try to reason with Woltz - meaning violently.
