Vito should have figured it out a lot earlier. He tells Tom, after the meeting, "Tattaglia is a pimp; alone he could never have outfought Santino." Well, Tattaglia was always a pimp who didn't have the balls or the resources to fight alone. Why couldn't he have surmised that Barzini was behind Tattaglia?


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
