Plot summary
With Colombo in the hospital, Gallo moves to dissolve the League and to assume control over the film. An incident during filming where Gianni Russo actually hit Talia Shire prompts Ruddy to have Caan beat him up for real during filming of a scene. Ruddy makes several shifts to the budget to accommodate filming in Sicily, but when Gallo accosts Ruddy in his hotel room and strongarms him for money, the filming is again put in jeopardy. Having become distracted in his work and constantly absent from the production, Evans is confronted by Ruddy during the New York filming wrap party, and Evans makes a drunken scene in front of Bluhdorn. Before Ruddy decides to give in to his demands, he learns that Gallo was shot to death at his birthday dinner in retaliation for his attack on Colombo.
