Don Vito Corleone read the signs from early on, but Especially after seeing how Tessio and Clemenza were receiving Michael as the acting don, and how after years of stability they now were looking to move away from the family and start their own.

As agreed upon during Vito's funeral, the day had finally come.
However, things don't go to plan for poor Tessio.
In fact it was a really bad day for all of Michael Corleone’s enemies.

As Tessio and Hagen were preparing to attend the summit, Willie Cicci told him that Michael was coming in a separate car. Tessio was visibly upset, saying that it threw off his so called "arrangements". Hagen says he can't come along either, while Cicci and several of Clemenza's men surround Tessio. Finally he understands. Michael has found out about his treachery, Tessio asks Tom to tell Michael that it was "only business" and he always liked him.
And is driven away never to be seen again. Still wanting to cash in any compassion or sense of brotherhood he had left, Tessio then asks Tom if he could get him off the hook for "the old times' sake". Tom, regretfully rejected his appeal. Although in the novel it was actually TOm who asks Michael, when they conclude that Tessio was the traitor. We never do get to see in the films or in the main novel, however, we do get a glimpse of what happened in the later novels. Willie Cicci and a few other corleone men drive Tessio to Two Toms, his very own social club, where Tessio and his traitorous men were executed by his former protege Nick Geraci, while Al Neri looked on.Tessio, and his dead co-conspirators were then brought to an abandoned gas station on Staten Island, in which was known to be Barzini territory, therefore His death was attributed to the Barzini family. Tessio's wife and his children were provided for by the Corleone's after his death.
Tessio lived quite an eventful life, rising from a low level hustler to a caporegime in the most powerful crime family the United States had ever seen. He was an incredible leader, a gifted war general with many victories under his belt. He lived a long life, where he managed to consistently win in the game of power, out strategizing and really outliving many of his contemporaries, which was quite an achievement.

Yet, his biggest mistake, was once again like many, underestimating a corleone.

But what do you think of the legendary capo?
Do you think he had a point? Was his actions justified or was Michael too naive to think he would be accepted as don?

Would You let Tessio off the hook? For old times sake? 💭

[chrisburton]

"Now listen, whoever comes to you with this Barzini meeting, he's the traitor" - possibly the best line in the greatest film ever made.

[thedevilluis]

Betrayal never comes from your enemies.

[pamelamays]

In the novel, Michael was sad about Tessio's betrayal. Tessio was like an uncle to Michael.

[robertbusek]

Tessio was in a difficult position. He was watching Michael, the son who was never supposed to rule, give away everything he, Peter, and Vito had worked and sacrificed for. Only his love for Vito stayed his hand. Once Vito was gone, he rolled the dice and lost.

That scene where he realizes that the game is up is really heartbreaking. He goes from Tessio the caporegime to Tessio the walking dead man in a second. But to give him his due, despite his final plea to Tom, he goes out like a man.

[angelmcgovern]

Clemenza was more emotional, even a hothead. He seemed to have forged a closer relationship with Michael than Tesio did. I remember that scene with Clemenza and Michael in the basement, getting ready to hit McClusky. Clemenza says, "We was all proud of you." I don't think Clemenza was less smart than Tesio, it was just that Michael was too much like family. It was a line Clemenza couldn't cross.

[theantone]

If Tessio was let off the hook and allowed to live, it would show tremendous weakness of Michael's part. It would show Michael tolerates people even in his own crew to conspire and betray him. To be a strong and effective boss especially in the Mafia, you need to be ruthless, feared and have zero tolerance for those who plan on betraying the family or you personally

[georgejasper]

The mistake Tessio made was forgetting how many times the Don had been right in their long association. When he told him to support Michael, it should have been obvious that the Don had a plan and had put it in play through Michael.

[Ryan-gwob]

Can't believe the guy who played him in the movie ended up being one of the funniest tv actors as Fish on Barney Miller! Lol .. But Abe did a great job on the Godfather too!! Cheers .. Great video!!

[unbrokend]

Tessio is proof that no amount of time of friendship means endless loyalty

[imovieee]

You can see behaviour like this in the workplace all the time, not the killing but the betrayals.

[clnhunter]

Tessie just didn’t realize how cunning Michael was, he truly underestimated Michael discounting Michael’s courage (former Marine), smarts (Dartmouth educated) and most of all his patience … waiting for his enemy to reveal himself, while striking the blow that made Michael feared and respected to his last days

[jackscratch]

This is the best Godfather analysis on YouTube. The Best.

[CanadianCharlie]

Tessio went into the Witness Protection Agency and was relocated to Greenwich Village and became Phil Fish

[Highspirekid]

I also feel like Clemenza was more of an uncle to Michael and Sonny than Tessio. He shared moments with both sons and that’s another reason why I feel like he would never betray them.

[famicomnintendo]

I never noticed up until now, but Clemenza did say he hated this goddamn Barzini while Tessio said nothing...

[thomaskeil]

The reason we, as the audience, do not witness the murder of Tessio was because in The Godfather, his character was sympathetic. Those characters we witnessed losing their lives in reprisal for going against the family were not sympathetic individuals who clearly deserved to meet violent ends. However, Tessio was someone we felt akin with. He did most certainly deserve to pay for his betrayal, but to witness his demise would be too emotionally upsetting.

[BELCAN]

Smart move dumping the bodies in Barzini's territory. It makes Barzini look bad to "the authorities" and it sends a message "look what happens when you try and cross us".

[quietlightning]

Sal was described as a great mind but lacking the emotional attachment to Vito. Puzo had a gift for selling characters. And after the opening wedding the reader knows about everyone’s core character and feels a connection with them. It was a brilliant demonstration of Puzo’s ability to catch characters to the life. It was a risk that payed off.
I’m sure he was given a merciful quick death

[TheBerkeleyBeauty]

I was completely caught off guard and actually heartbroken when it was revealed that Tessio betrayed Michael. I didn’t think he OR Clemenza would’ve had it in them to take out essentially their BROTHER’S own son.
RIP Abe Vigoda & Salvatore Tessio
