Question about The Godfather...

[Jadow]

When Tom goes to the hotel room and the senator with the dead hooker is there, did the senator kill the hooker, or the the corleones kill her when the senator was sleeping?

 

[z0mb13]

wow I always thought that the senator killed her..

hmm maybe the corleones DID kill the hooker...

 

[DaiShan]

I'm pretty sure the senator killed her, although it is equally possible that the corleones had her killed to strong arm him.

The Corleone's man (Al Neri) is seen in the scene emerging from a room appearing to be cleaning his hands. I believe that scene suggests that Al actually killed the woman. The senator, emerging from what appeared to be a drug induced sleep, thinks that he killed the woman and the Corleones then were assured the Senator's support.

IIRC, the Corleones killed her in order to put the screws down on the senator. Remember how he didn't want to play ball before?

 

[Jadow]

I'd always thought the Corleones killed her to get leverage on the senator, but just recently, I started thinking otherwise. Now I'm back to my original hypothesis.

Whew, I can finally die happy now that that's settled.

This is really an open scene.. Two things are possible.. One thing that could have happened is that the senator was drugged and that the prostitute was murdered in order to make the senator feel indebted to the family... Or the senator could have done the dirty deed.. Either way, the outcome is the same - he was f*cked and needed someone to clean up the mess..
