'''Prologue''' is the introductory mission of [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. The mission is set in [[Ludendorff]], [[North Yankton]] in [[2004]], nine years prior to the events of the game.


'''Cubans''' in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] are a Cuban street gang based in [[Little Havana]], [[Vice City]]. They are led by [[Umberto Robina]] and are enemies of both the [[Cholos]] and the [[Haitians]]. Umberto runs the gang first from his home in Little Havana, but later begins to run the gang from the [[Café Robina]], which his father [[Alberto Robina|Alberto]] owns and operates.
== Mission ==
{{spoiler}}


[[Trevor Philips]], [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]], and [[Bradley Snider|Brad Snider]] hold up the office of an armored car depot, threatening the office employees. Trevor sets plastic explosives on the vault, while Michael and Brad force the office employees into a closet. After taking the money, an unaccounted for [[Jaspers|security guard]] takes Michael and holds him at gunpoint. Michael tries to persuade the guard to walk away, but Trevor shoots the guard in the head to free Michael. Michael states that they didn't need to kill him; however, Trevor shrugs it off.


== History ==
After getting out of the building, Trevor, Michael, and Brad gun down [[North Yankton State Patrol|local law enforcement]] to get to their [[Rancher XL|getaway vehicle]]. During the escape, the hired getaway driver is shot in the head, forcing Michael to take the wheel, who then rams a police car off the road. A road block forces them to detour to a side road to face an oncoming train, which clips the rear of the truck. Abandoning the wreck near a farm, Trevor states that they can still reach the chopper on foot, while Michael believes that they should stick to their original plan. While looking for the chopper, [[Dave Norton|an FIB sniper]] positioned at the farm ambushes the group and shoots Brad. When Michael checks on Brad, he gets shot and tells Trevor to flee. Refusing to abandon Michael and Brad, Trevor holds off the police. During the standoff, Trevor spots a woman and holds her at gunpoint, demanding where the chopper is. After releasing the woman, Trevor flees through a hayfield while two officers unsuccessfully attempt to gun him down.


The scene then shifts to a cemetery where the funeral of Michael Townley is being held; however, Michael, who is still alive, watches the events from a distance.


===1984===

In 1984 the Cubans are in conflict with a Mexican street-gang the [[Cholos]] over control of Little Havana and [[Little Haiti]]. Cubans leader Umberto Robina employs [[Victor Vance]] to aid him in his fight against the Cholos. Umberto Robina asked Victor to prove his worth to his gang by picking up a package from [[Downtown (Vice City)|Downtown]] in a race with [[Hilberto]], [[Carlos]], [[Fernandez]] and other ''Cuban'' gang members.

Victor Vance then begins to work with the Cubans, which includes killing various Cholos gang members, causing havoc in Little Havana, and picking up Alberto Robina from the [[Hyman Memorial Stadium]] to avoid a possible abduction and/or murder. The Cubans eventually win the war with the Cholos after stealing their weapons supply and destroying the warehouse that the weapons had been stored in.

By 1986, Cubans found themselves in a war with the Haitians. Umberto Robina contacts and employs [[Tommy Vercetti]] to aid him in the war with the Haitians. After completing a boat challenge with [[Rico]], Tommy begins to help Cubans against the Haitians. Following this, [[Tommy Vercetti]] helps steal a van full of drugs, killing various Haitians for two briefcases and blowing up a factory owned by the Haitians.

Tommy Vercetti is, however, also working for [[Auntie Poulet]], the leader of the Haitians. Auntie Poulet drugs Tommy with her ''Juju Juice'' and has him collect three briefcases before the authorities, blow up boats and Cuban gang members using an remote controlled plane and killing various Cuban gang members in a fight between the Cubans and Haitians. Auntie Poulet eventually turns on Tommy, telling him that she no longer needs his services.

Tommy eventually returns to working for Cubans, and helps them destroy a Haitian drugs factory in Little Haiti. The final result of the war between Cubans and the Haitians is unknown, but by the end of ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'', Cubans had the upper hand. Umberto Robina and Cuban gang members also treat Tommy Vercetti as an equal, with Umberto once saying: "Tommy, to us, you Cuban".

Mission

Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.


Trevor Philips, Michael Townley, and Brad Snider hold up the office of an armored car depot, threatening the office employees. Trevor sets plastic explosives on the vault, while Michael and Brad force the office employees into a closet. After taking the money, an unaccounted for security guard takes Michael and holds him at gunpoint. Michael tries to persuade the guard to walk away, but Trevor shoots the guard in the head to free Michael. Michael states that they didn't need to kill him; however, Trevor shrugs it off.

After getting out of the building, Trevor, Michael, and Brad gun down local law enforcement to get to their getaway vehicle. During the escape, the hired getaway driver is shot in the head, forcing Michael to take the wheel, who then rams a police car off the road. A road block forces them to detour to a side road to face an oncoming train, which clips the rear of the truck. Abandoning the wreck near a farm, Trevor states that they can still reach the chopper on foot, while Michael believes that they should stick to their original plan. While looking for the chopper, an FIB sniper positioned at the farm ambushes the group and shoots Brad. When Michael checks on Brad, he gets shot and tells Trevor to flee. Refusing to abandon Michael and Brad, Trevor holds off the police. During the standoff, Trevor spots a woman and holds her at gunpoint, demanding where the chopper is. After releasing the woman, Trevor flees through a hayfield while two officers unsuccessfully attempt to gun him down.

The scene then shifts to a cemetery where the funeral of Michael Townley is being held; however, Michael, who is still alive, watches the events from a distance.
