## Tour (5 steps)

1. Vito built a family that answered to favours rather than to law. The wedding in 1945 is the last time all of it is intact.
2. He turns down the narcotics business. Sollozzo shoots him for it, and the war starts.
3. Michael was the one kept out of it. He kills a police captain over dinner and never gets back out.
4. Every red line into 1955 is Michael settling the family business on the day he stands as godfather to Connie's son.
5. And then the brother. Fredo takes Roth's side, and Michael has him killed on the lake.
