Plot summary

The news of Gulf & Western working with Colombo reaches Bluhdorn and Evans, prompting Bluhdorn to fast track offloading Paramount and firing Ruddy from the film. McCartt, despite being disrespected by Ruddy, goes to Colombo to tell him about the firing. He immediately moves to cause trouble for the production as a means to have Ruddy reinstated. While meeting to vote on selling Paramount on a discount to a Texan investor, Evans interrupts and give a speech to have them reconsider. It is decided they will not sell Paramount after Bluhdorn changes his mind. Coppola informs Bluhdorn about the mafia interference and Ruddy is rehired, allowing him to return and witness the completion of the first day of production. In response to Gallo, Colombo orders an attack against him and Nicky Barnes.
