The
urgency Michael was "frantic to get Fredo in his car" for Fredo's
safe passage back home because Fredo was still Michael's brother
Michael still looking out for his brother's welfare, to get Fredo safely back home even
after having just learned that Fredo had betrayed Michael, nearly resulting in Michael and Kay being killed.
Oh! What a brother!Tom: Uh -- I think he got out -- he must be somewhere in New York
Mission accomplished!
Michael didn't know
1. anything about the Senate hearing
then [Desert Inn]
2. nor Fredo's deeper involvement with Roth and Ola
until Fredo's boathouse outburst
Hence Michael to Tom [Desert Inn]
Alright -- I want you to get in touch with him -- I know he's scared -- tell him everything's all right. Tell him I know Roth misled him -- and he didn't know they were planing to kill me
