At the compound, Tom promotes Aldo to Associate. Realizing it was Paulie who sold Vito out to Sollozzo, Sonny orders Clemenza to have him killed; in turn, Clemenza assigns the hit to Aldo. After Gatto is dead, Tom sends Aldo to accompany family soldier Rocco Lampone (Michael Dobson) to Hollywood to persuade ill-tempered studio executive Jack Woltz (Doug Abrahams) to give Vito's godson Johnny Fontane the starring role in a new film. Rocco and Aldo decapitate Woltz' prized stallion, and place the head in his bed as he sleeps, terrifying him into casting Fontane. Back in New York, the Corleones purchase an apartment in Midtown for Aldo and Frankie. Sollozzo and McClusky arrange a meeting with Michael to try to bring the conflict to a peaceful resolution. However, Michael wants to assassinate them, and Clemenza has Aldo hide a gun in the toilet of the restaurant where the meeting is taking place. Aldo then drives Michael to the docks, where he leaves for Sicily. Meanwhile, Vito is released from the hospital and has Aldo promoted to Soldier, officially making him a made man of the Corleone family.
