Castro supporter Arturo Duran (Raul Julia) is still alive and has not killed by SIM (President Batista’s enforcers). Jack Weil (Robert Redford) discovers this as he is preparing to take Duran’s wife, Bobby (Lena Olin), out of Cuba on Dec. 31, 1958. Instead of taking her away and starting their life together, Jack has the lucky diamond that’s embedded in his arm removed. He then takes the $50,000 generated from that and bribes Colonel Menocal to release Arturo from authorities so he can be reunited with his wife.

All goes as planned for Jack as Castro and his supporters overthrow President Batista and chase him out of the country on New Year’s Eve 1959.

The next day, Bobby goes to see Jack before he leaves Cuba, and once she sees the bandage on his right arm, she understands what he sacrificed to get her husband released from custody.

After he departs Cuba, Jack occasionally travels to Key West, FL, hoping that he will see somehow see Bobby or at least reconnect with his memories of her.
