Miami - at the same time, Velma attempts to assassinate Mo Scarlatti, the last witness willing to testify against Al for his recent murder spree. This results in a frantic chase as Al, Velma, a wounded Mo, the FBI and the mob all converge on the same hospital. Ironically, Al's car crushes Mo Scarlatti to death as they plough into the hospital, before Al is taken away to the delivery room whilst the FBI are confounded: with Scarlatti dead, they have no witnesses, so they can't pin the murder charges on Al. Despite a final attempt to kill Al by some mobsters, the quick thinking of Dagwood, Velma and Bellman saves Al's life and he delivers the second child. Still infatuated with Al, Dagwood agrees to take all the blame for his destructive landing, and for the presence of the guns in the car he and Bellman used to deliver Al to the hospital. He and Bellman are subsequently sentenced to ten years on an upstate work farm. After Al recovers from the birth, things are all roses for AL; not only is he off the hook for murder, but his role in killing Mo Scarlatti, who was also selling out other mob leaders, persuades the mob to call off their vendetta. At a party to celebrate, Don Sarcoma formally names Al as the new godfather of the Sarcoma mob, at least until Sarcoma's grandsons come of age. Which is when Al corrects Don Sarcoma; the second Bestardi-Sarcoma child is a girl, Louise. The revelation that he has a granddaughter enrages the Don so badly that he suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving Al, finally, as not only a mother of two, but also as the Godfather.
