Either you know The Godfather script by heart, or you don't.
I don’t. I have seen the movie, but I’ve never been into movies much. Don’t watch TV, seldom see a movie, now when I see one that I want to watch I rent it on-line. Last one was “The Promise”, story about individuals caught up in the Armenian Genocide. The move was done well, but the horror was not completely depicted, for good reason.
But in defense of movies, that movie hints at what is happening now. Some of the same players are still trying to commit genocide. Headshake.
Barzini (not Barzani) was the main villain, the one who killed Sonny, and after Don Vito Corleone died, Tessio defected to Barzini and plotted to kill Michael.
When Tom Hagan expressed surprise that the ever-loyal Tessio was the traitor, Michael pointed out that it was the smart play. “He (Tessio) was always smarter” was the punch line.
