On
important
trips
he
would
drive
the
Don
's
car
,
at
conferences
he
would
go
out
and
get
the
Don
refreshments
,
coffee
and
sandwiches
,
fresh
cigars
.
He
would
know
everything
the
Don
knew
or
nearly
everything
,
all
the
cells
of
power
.
He
was
the
one
man
in
the
world
who
could
bring
the
Don
crashing
down
to
destruction
.
But
no
Consigliere
had
ever
betrayed
a
Don
,
not
in
the
memory
of
any
of
the
powerful
Sicilian
families
who
had
established
themselves
in
America
.
There
was
no
future
in
it
.
And
every
Consigliere
knew
that
if
he
kept
the
faith
,
he
would
become
rich
,
wield
power
and
win
respect
.
If
misfortune
came
,
his
wife
and
children
would
be
sheltered
and
cared
for
as
if
he
were
alive
or
free
.
If
he
kept
the
faith
.
In
some
matters
the
Consigliere
had
to
act
for
his
Don
in
a
more
open
way
and
yet
not
involve
his
principal
.
Hagen
was
flying
to
California
on
just
such
a
matter
.
He
realized
that
his
career
as
Consigliere
would
be
seriously
affected
by
the
success
or
failure
of
this
mission
.
By
family
business
standards
whether
Johnny
Fontane
got
his
coveted
part
in
the
war
movie
,
or
did
not
,
was
a
minor
matter
.
Far
more
important
was
the
meeting
Hagen
had
set
up
with
Virgil
Sollozzo
the
following
Friday
.
But
Hagen
knew
that
to
the
Don
,
both
were
of
equal
importance
,
which
settled
the
matter
for
any
good
Consigliere
.
The
piston
plane
shook
Tom
Hagen
's
already
nervous
insides
and
he
ordered
a
martini
from
the
hostess
to
quiet
them
.
Both
the
Don
and
Johnny
had
briefed
him
on
the
character
of
the
movie
producer
,
Jack
Woltz
.
From
everything
that
Johnny
said
,
Hagen
knew
he
would
never
be
able
to
persuade
Woltz
.
But
he
also
had
no
doubt
whatsoever
that
the
Don
would
keep
his
promise
to
Johnny
.
His
own
role
was
that
of
negotiator
and
contact
.
Lying
back
in
his
seat
,
Hagen
went
over
all
the
information
given
to
him
that
day
.
Jack
Woltz
was
one
of
the
three
most
important
movie
producers
in
Hollywood
,
owner
of
his
own
studio
with
dozens
of
stars
under
contract
.
He
was
on
the
President
of
the
United
States
'
Advisory
Council
for
War
Information
,
Cinematic
Division
,
which
meant
simply
that
he
helped
make
propaganda
movies
.
He
had
had
dinner
at
the
White
House
.
He
had
entertained
J.
Edgar
Hoover
in
his
Hollywood
home
.
But
none
of
this
was
as
impressive
as
it
sounded
.
They
were
all
official
relationships
.
Woltz
did
n't
have
any
personal
political
power
,
mainly
because
he
was
an
extreme
reactionary
,
partly
because
he
was
a
megalomaniac
who
loved
to
wield
power
wildly
without
regard
to
the
fact
that
by
so
doing
legions
of
enemies
sprang
up
out
of
the
ground
.
Hagen
sighed
.
There
would
be
no
way
to
"
handle
"
Jack
Woltz
.
He
opened
his
briefcase
and
tried
to
get
some
paper
work
done
,
but
he
was
too
tired
.
He
ordered
another
martini
and
reflected
on
his
life
.
He
had
no
regrets
,
indeed
he
felt
that
he
had
been
extremely
lucky
.
Whatever
the
reason
,
the
course
he
had
chosen
ten
years
ago
had
proved
to
be
right
for
him
.
He
was
successful
,
he
was
as
happy
as
any
grown
man
could
reasonably
expect
,
and
he
found
life
interesting
.
Tom
Hagen
was
thirty-five
years
old
,
a
tall
crew-cut
man
,
very
slender
,
very
ordinary-looking
.
He
was
a
lawyer
but
did
not
do
the
actual
detailed
legal
work
for
the
Corleone
family
business
though
he
had
practiced
law
for
three
years
after
passing
the
bar
exam
.
At
the
age
of
eleven
he
had
been
a
playmate
of
eleven-year-old
Sonny
Corleone
.
Hagen
's
mother
had
gone
blind
and
then
died
during
his
eleventh
year
.
Hagen
's
father
,
a
heavy
drinker
,
had
become
a
hopeless
drunkard
.
A
hardworking
carpenter
,
he
had
never
done
a
dishonest
thing
in
his
life
.
But
his
drinking
destroyed
his
family
and
finally
killed
him
.
Tom
Hagen
was
left
an
orphan
who
wandered
the
streets
and
slept
in
hallways
.
His
younger
sister
had
been
put
in
a
foster
home
,
but
in
the
1920
's
the
social
agencies
did
not
follow
up
cases
of
eleven-year-old
boys
who
were
so
ungrateful
as
to
run
from
their
charity
.
Hagen
,
too
,
had
an
eye
infection
.
Neighbors
whispered
that
he
had
caught
or
inherited
it
from
his
mother
and
so
therefore
it
could
be
caught
from
him
.
He
was
shunned
.
Sonny
Corleone
,
a
warmhearted
and
imperious
eleven-year-old
,
had
brought
his
friend
home
and
demanded
that
he
be
taken
in
.
Tom
Hagen
was
given
a
hot
dish
of
spaghetti
with
oily
rich
tomato
sauce
,
the
taste
of
which
he
had
never
forgotten
,
and
then
given
a
metal
folding
bed
to
sleep
on
.
In
the
most
natural
way
,
without
a
word
being
spoken
or
the
matter
discussed
in
any
fashion
,
Don
Corleone
had
permitted
the
boy
to
stay
in
his
household
.
Don
Corleone
himself
took
the
boy
to
a
special
doctor
and
had
his
eye
infection
cured
.
He
sent
him
to
college
and
law
school
.
In
all
this
the
Don
acted
not
as
a
father
but
rather
as
a
guardian
.
There
was
no
show
of
affection
but
oddly
enough
the
Don
treated
Hagen
more
courteously
than
his
own
sons
,
did
not
impose
a
parental
will
upon
him
.
It
was
the
boy
's
decision
to
go
to
law
school
after
college
.
He
had
heard
Don
Corleone
say
once
,
"
A
lawyer
with
his
briefcase
can
steal
more
than
a
hundred
men
with
guns
.
"
Meanwhile
,
much
to
the
annoyance
of
their
father
,
Sonny
and
Freddie
insisted
on
going
into
the
family
business
after
graduation
from
high
school
.
Only
Michael
had
gone
on
to
college
,
and
he
had
enlisted
in
the
Marines
the
day
after
Pearl
Harbor
.
