Which brings me to a point I want to make with moustachepete and others who believe that Roth engineered Frankie's survival in order to put Michael in the Senate perjury trap:
Roth lured Michael to Cuba for one purpose: to get the $2 million, and then have him assassinated. In Roth's plan, Michael would never leave Cuba alive. Why, then, would he engineer an impossibly difficult, impossibly risky, split-second entry by a cop to save Frankie in order to set him up as a witness against Michael Corleone--who Roth planned to kill in Cuba months before the Senate hearings were due to convene?
Given the outcome, it would seem that Roth had too few alternative plans, rather than too many.
