Main Narrator:
In May 1980, In an effort to normalize relations with the carter
administration, Fidel Castro opened up an harbor on the side of
Mariel, Cuba with the apparent intention of letting some of his
people join their relatives in the United States. Within 72 hours,
3000 U.S Boats were headed for Cuba. In the next few weeks, it
became evident that Fidel Castro was forcing the boat owners
to carry back not only their relatives but also his jail population
disguised as political refugees. By the time the port was closed
125,000 ‘Marielitos: Criminal Refugees’ had landed in Miami,
USA. This is the story of the minority, or more specifically, the
story of one man, who took the American crime scene by
storm.

powerless as a gazelle, Frank. You are a disgrace to Miami and
it’s heart.

Frank: How dare you? (Darts towards Omar)

Tony: (points gun) No, no, no.

See, you should always think Frank, I guess it must be hard for a
pig to do that. Now, you’ve just left me with one choice.

chance, I’ll give you 100 million dollars, trust me, it’s in a bank
account, in Spain. Please Tony don’t do this to me. Please don’t
kill me.

what you’re worth. Ha!

Omar: That’s funny, sir. (smiles)

(Telephone rings)

Paul: Tony, what is wrong with you! Why did you kill Alberto?
Things were supposed to be at peace with us brotha and you!
Have just disturbed the peace. I told you not to betray me, I
told you to erase the term itself it from your maricon
dictionary.

Tony: You just called me a maricon? Who do you think you are?
Just cause you do dealings and have a bellboy over there to
look over everything you do, gives you no right to insult me.
Paul: Alberto is dead, Tony. My bellboy is dead. I told you, I’m a
sleeping volcano, Tony. I’m going to spew lava all over you.

you a nice stay over here and assure you that you never return,

Tony: I want you to check every single camera, man up the

guards, make em all Cubans, eh? Like me. Barricade the gates,
too. If you find anyone suspicious, report to me. I’m expecting
visitors.

Omar: Sir, I’ve checked every camera in this house and have
personally repositioned the guards in accordance, like you
asked me to. I assure you sir, whatever comes in to fortress, will
never leave back alive.
Tony: Okay, okay.

Cagney come get me, come get me, and you’ll see who still
remains alive. (mouths through window)

I’m not an ordinary Cuban maricon. I’m Montana. I’m tony

Montana. You will never get me! You hear that Paul! These
bullets don’t work on me. (survives bullets) You better hear me,
because…

(Paul shoots Tony from behind)

Paul: It’s all over, Tony.

Tony: You still didn’t get me, Paul. Who put this thing together?
Me? (gestures) That’s right, me. You won’t last long Paul, but I
do have a few words for you. (laughs)

Don’t trust no one, not even yourself, say the truth even when
you lie.

(Tony dies)
