5,000 street corners in Greater Miami,
and Gumby here has gotta pick ours.
So, you think he's gonna show? He better.
I was up till 5:00 this mornin' trading shots of tequila with the little bozo just to close the deal.
It'd be well worth it if he leads us to this Colombian.
[Chattering, Laughing]
So, anyway, you lost your temper, right?
You did the hot-blooded Latin machismo number,
- and you stomped out of the house, right? - Yeah, yeah. Something like that.
She's due in five months, Sonny. I don't want her working in some greasy spoon.
Maria knows how tough it is to raise a family on the kind of bread cops make.
Hell, Eddie, a baby carriage alone will put you back a week's take-home.
No wife of mine ought to have to work for a living.
[Exhales] That's dumb, right? [Chuckles]
Hey, shortstop. You wanna crank down the decibels a notch?
You got a dime? I wanna give her a call. Now you're talkin'.
I just wanna let her know how much I appreciate the effort.
Maybe take her out on the town tonight for a little, uh, romance.
[Vehicle Horn Honking]
[Honking] What it is? My man!
Showtime, Eddie. Corky's here.
You can call her later.
Where did I fly in from this time?
Malibu.! Too much, my man.!
I mean, the whole geocultural concept of it all, man.
I mean, farmers, man... Farmers in Bogota.
Bogota to Miami to L.A.
I mean, all that money, man. Sometimes I feel guilty, man.
You should send some money there, man.
You should send some money to sponsor a child or a farmer, man.
I did. [Sniffles]
[Crockett] Hey, Corky. You forget where the ocean is?
My boat's in the Atlantic. We're not gonna need your boat, dude.
Different stash, and it's already in, so...
Uh-uh. That ain't the plan. Remember?
Eddie here flashes the cash, and we take my boat and pick up the Colombian's stash.
Hey, what Colombian? Forget him, man. I got a whole new supplier.
Free enterprise, dude, is the basis of Western democracy.
Okay, boy scout, you wanna change the game plan? I'll change the rules.
It's now 32 grand a key, not 40.
Half the bread now, the rest contingent upon a purity test back at my place.
And you pick up Eddie here's expenses... hotel and airfare. Got it?
Hey, I got profit margins to consider here, guys, and that's a rip-off.
Free enterprise, dude. Take it or leave it.
Ninety-two percent, lab-tested, pure Peruvian flake, Eddie.
None of that baby-laxed rat poo they push on the coast.
Root canal quality. [Sniffles]
Burnett, I left the scale. Do you mind?
Check it out, Eddie. Twelve grand cash.
I was gonna spring 18 for the presidential,
but it just screams dealer.
You know what I mean? It's nice.
We are gonna make it happen, my man. We're gonna do it.

He's pretty shaken up about Eddie, Lieutenant.
[Dog Whimpering]
Four days ago, we got a line on that Corky Fowler kid that bought it back there.
He works for the Colombian.
I was the middleman.
I told him I had a big buyer in from L.A.
Eddie.
They'd already gotten the word that I was a legit runner with a fast boat down at the marina.
After Eddie flashed the cash, me and Corky were supposed to make the pickup...
off a Panamanian shrimper eight miles off Bal Harbour.
Long way from Bal Harbour.
Corky had found a new pipeline and was gonna cut the Colombian out.
He was goin' into business for himself, he said.
So this ghost you've been chasing for two months... this Colombian drug king...
what makes you so sure he was behind this?
For God's sake, Lou, Corky was on his payroll.
Then he decided to go it alone. Who else could it be?
Haven't changed much from your old football days, have you, Sonny?
Listen, Lou... No! You listen!
I haven't heard word one from you for a whole stinkin' week.
No case reviews, no updates, no progress reports. I was under. I was setting up...
And no backups! The last time I requested a backup, I nearly got shot to death...
by Bluto and Lee Harvey Oswald over there!
And as for progress reports, I'd just as soon buy radio time.
Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Are you implying that I've got a bad cop in my department?
[Sighs] All I know is,
every time I've gotten within 20 blocks of this Colombian,
I've had the pavement pulled right out from under me.
By the book. By the book, Sonny, from here on,
or I swear I'm pulling you off the street.

of my unit this week, marriagewise.
Seems out of 16 Vice cops, we're barely battin'.250.
It's not the job.
Oh, sure, it's got a lot to do with it.
[Sighs] Seeing you shot that time.
And your drinking. [Exhales]
I've been doing a lot of thinking about it. I've been doing a lot better...
In a lot of ways, you and your Vice cop buddies... than when I started in plainclothes.
Are just the flip side of the same coin... I mean...
from these dealers you're always masquerading around with.
You're all players, Sonny.
You get high on the action.
[Exhales] I'm just gonna check in on my boy,

You and the Colombian already made your quota for the month.
Car bomb... late yesterday, 59th Street underpass.
People get blown away all the time in this town...
tryin' to go into business for themselves, so lighten up.
You also blew away my end of a $200,000 deal, man.
Now, you tell the Colombian I want to meet with him about my commission.
Hey, damn it. I've seen the man put together $20 million deals, Burnett.
I'm not just talkin' once either.
There's no way the man is gonna meet with you.
Unless, of course, you up your status a bit. [Scoffing Laugh]
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, Burnett.
I got a new shipment comin' in tonight.
Our original deal is still open if you're interested.
That's 10 grand for you and your speedboat.
One hour max... pickup and delivery.
Look, man, I'm real sorry about your client and all that,
but that bomb wasn't meant for nobody else but Corky.
Then again, there's always buyers.

Congratulations, pal.
New York.
Two weeks.!
Two weeks of legwork I put in on this bust,
and three-fourths of the dealers turn out to be cops!
Me, Scottie Wheeler and Dr. Voodoo here...
putting in a surprise guest appearance direct from Fun City.
Crockett... Not to mention Heckle and Jeckle jumpin' the gun by a good five minutes.
Is that what you mean by team playin'? What I'm trying to tell you is there was a foul-up...
You know, my badge says "Miami," but lately it's been lookin' a lot like Disney World.
Shut up, Crockett! And I'll explain.
Now, Tubbs is here on priority clearance...
per direct request of the N.Y.P.D.
Interagency memo, Crockett. Confidential.
I'd sort oflike to keep it that way, if you catch my drift.
Hey, no offense, but when it comes to security leaks,
this town of yours ain't exactly Pentagon South.
Interesting perspective.
So, uh, tell me now, "Dubbs. '" Tubbs.
My friends call me Rafael.
Are you down here for some specific value to the taxpayers,
- or are you just workin' on your tan? - [Tubbs Laughing Loudly]
Well, hush my mouth! He's so funny.
You ever hear of a local dealer named Calderone?
Well, about four weeks ago, one of our detectives...
set himself up in a meet with Calderone and a New York pusher named Tooney.
The bust went sour. Our man was shot to death.
But he took Tooney with him, and Calderone got away.
New York figures he's back down here.
Yeah, alongside 5,000 other bush-league pushers...
with five aliases each and passports to match.
He's a major-league, Crockett. He killed a cop.
That dude I showed up with tonight is one of his front men,
and I was settin' him up for a rollover before you and that cavalry of yours showed up.
The guy's in town for three days... already he's an expert.
That "dude" you showed up with tonight works undercover for the D.E.A., pal.
His name's Scott Wheeler. And as for Leon,
he's on the payroll of a Colombian I've been two steps behind for months now.
Surveillance photo... taken before the shootout.
Our man, Tooney. Dude on the right is Calderone.
[Crockett] The Colombian.
Who? Suspect in a half-dozen drug murders down here.
Moves a lot of weight. Yeah?
Well, looks like you two are after the same man.
Look, instead of beatin' up on each other,
why don't you guys consider workin' together?
Forget it. Night, Lou.
I want a copy of that first thing tomorrow.
Hey. Yeah.
[Groans]
Ensign Tubbs reportin' for duty, sir! Oh!
Damn it. [Laughing]
Hey, Crockett. It's a great day to be alive, man.
Yeah, or beat someone to death, dependin' on your disposition.
What are you doin' here? Here.
Photocopies of your good friend Calderone. Remember?
Have some coffee and doughnuts.
Rodriguez told me I'd find you here... under the name of Burnett.
- Is that your cover or somethin'? - That's the general idea, Tubbs.
As far as the locals are concerned, I'm just another hard-partyin' ocean guy with questionable means.
With a hundred thousand dollar cigarette boat and a sideline of recreational stimulants.
This cop that bought it up in New York... friend of yours?
Yeah. We knew each other. Hey, listen, Crockett.
I've been thinkin' about what Rodriguez said last night...
about us workin' together on this thing, and I think... Save your breath, Tubbs.
I got enough problems with this investigation already...
without playin' tour guide to some wide-eyed understudy...
down here on a weekend pass.
Wait a second! No, you wait a second.
You might have commendations up the ying-yang in the Bronx or New York...
or wherever the hell it is you're from,
but this is Miami, pal, where you can't even tell the players without a program.
Down here, you're just another amateur.
And what are you, God's gift to law enforcement?
From what I hear... a suspension and misconducts...
and car bombs aside... you're not the safest...
[Sighs] I guess I asked for that one, huh?
No. No, you didn't, man.
That was totally outta line.
- You mean that? - Absolutely.
I couldn't let you handle all that bad karma by yourself.
You wouldn't happen to have any ice on this bucket, would you?
Yeah. Down below. Help yourself.
[Animal Roaring] Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey. Don't talk like that, man.
You're gonna hurt this feelings.
Don't mind him, Elvis. He's from New York.

[Ticking] He's ticking.
Alarm clock. Some frat punks pulled a Captain Hook on him.
And he ate a flight bag full of L.S.D. On a Key West lab bust last Thursday.
Been a little freaked out ever since.
But all in all, I feel he's in a much better environment.
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking, huh? Whoa.
Gotta move. Got a bail hearing downtown on last night's bust.

Hey, man, why don't you get off of yourself?
You know this investigation is dead in the water without me, man.
What are you talking about? That bust last night.
As far as Calderone's people are concerned, I made off with both the party favors and the cash.
I'm gonna be hearing from 'em.
You need me, Crockett.
Well, I don't know how this is gonna work, Tubbs.
I mean, uh, you're not exactly up my alley... style and personawise.
Heaven knows I'm no box of candy.
But all things considered,
I think we might have to consider some sort of temporary...
working relationship.

In football, we call this a fourth down passing situation.
Yeah.
Crockett. James "Sonny" Crockett.
Very good, Tubbs. Next week we'll work on your name.
University of Florida.
All-American wide receiver number 88. Am I right or what?
Oh, that was a long time ago. You were sensational.
I remember one time I watched you run a screen pass 90 yards...
with 10 seconds left on the clock, man, for the winning T.D. Against Alabama.
Funky honky.
Ahh! It was 92 yards, Tubbs. Six seconds remaining.
Yeah, well, excuse the hell outta me.
You know, not that Vice isn't the most glamorous gig in the world, Crockett, but what happened, huh?
I mean, you must have had half the scouts in the NFL on your tail.
Traded it all in on two years in the Southeast Asian Conference.
'Nam? No, Coney Island.
Hey, what have we here? It's a phone book.
No names, only numbers.
I'll have Ma Bell do a back-trace.
You know, Leon was real panicked outside that courthouse, Crockett.
He must have changed cabs three or four different times.
I know for a fact the only tail on him was mine.
So how'd the hitter know where to find him, huh?
What are you trying to say, Tubbs?
I'm saying that the only people who knew Leon was there were cops.
You know, buddy, you got a leak in your department the size of the East River.
Listen, pal, I'll worry about my department.
Now, unless you got a secretary back at your motel, I suggest you scoot on back there...
and wait for the phone to ring.
Lou, I'll see you in a minute. Uh, Gina.
Hi, sweetheart, look. I need to ask a favor of you.
Oh, yeah? Last time you said that,
I ended up babysitting a sick crocodile for an afternoon.
Alligator, darling. Alligator.
Look, I got a couple of rolls of film I need dropped off at the downtown lab.
Are you gonna be anywhere near there?
Sonny, I gotta be in costume and on the pavement in less than an hour.
How 'bout dinner tonight? Token of my appreciation.
I'll think about it.
Oh, also, Gina, uh, could you, uh,
gimme a little file computer readout on a New York narc named Rafael Tubbs?
Since you're gonna be there anyway.
Give him an inch, he thinks he's a ruler.
[Woman] Sonny.
Line two. Crockett.
We're back in business, my man.
Calderone's right hand just called about the cash.
Name's, uh, Trini DeSoto.
A voice a little on the festive side? A cross between Tito Puente and Carol Channing?
You got it, man. Pick you up in 15 minutes.
## [Salsa]
Hey. ¿Qué tal, huh?
You see, most of the Marielito riffraff stuck in detention with me...
killed the time watching Family Feud,
uh, Hollywood Squares, In Search of the Ryan's Hope.
All that garbage. Huh? [Snaps Fingers] Not me, man.
I figure, dig it, Trini.
You could be stuck in this place six months, man, waiting for your papers.
Use the time, man. Improve your mind.
You read a lot of books, huh?
You're missing my point, man. I skip all that network jive.
Tune in to the old classics: I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best,
Leave It To You, Beaver, Gilligan's Island.
It's where I learn to speak English so good, man...
The golden age ofTV.
And forget about Desi Arnaz, man.
The fact that dude never got an Academy Award...
says something very deep about the American psyche.
New York critics, Trini, don't let it throw you.
Whatever. Anyway, I bored you enough with my background, man.
Do you got the money? [Jamaican Accent] Not until I see Calderone.
[DeSoto] Teddy, I'm his personal representative.
Look, I didn't have to show here today. This is strictly gratis.
After that little fiasco last night, I'm through dealing with a middleman.
You tell Calderone he wants his cash,
he deals with me, Teddy Prentiss, personally.
No more intermediaries.
And you, Mr. Burnett, what's your stake in all this?
[Tubbs] Burnett's gonna be handling all the transportation.
Wise choice, Teddy.
Your reputation as a boating enthusiast precedes you, my friend.
If you mean that slack-jawed Leon, the word I got is he's done preceded all of us.
[Laughing]
[DeSoto] Preceded all of us, eh?
That's muy bien, huh?
9:00. Key Biscayne Club, eh? Hmm?
You bring the money.
The dude gives new meaning to the word "alien."
Come on, let's blow this pop stand.
You know, Crockett, I've been doing some thinking about that possible leak,
and, uh, well, how well do you know this Lieutenant Rodriguez?
What are you getting at? Well, he's the point man in this whole operation.
Whoa! You're down here on a courtesy pass, New York,
so take a major conversational detour right now.
Hey, lighten up, man. Lighten up. Capisce?
I was just asking. You were just asking about a man...
I consider to be one of the most righteous cops in the entire country...
and who I've worked with for six years,
which is six years longer than I've known you, my friend.
Well, since you know him so well, maybe you wanna explain an $18,000 deposit...
he made at First National 10 days ago.
You've been doing makes on my friends? I've been doing a little local research.
It's called staying alive. I'll explain it to you sometime.

# Now what could be such a source of pain #
# I so boldly inquire # [Continues]
That's not true. That's not what he told me now.
No? Now, Crockett, you told me that.
That he volunteered? Oh, God. You're kidding me.
Aside from an occasional massage parlor bust,
Sonny Crockett has never volunteered for anything his entire life.
Sorry to keep you waiting so long, Theodore, Senor Burnett.
I trust dinner was to your satisfaction.
[Jamaican Accent] Righteous, man. Righteous.
Gina and Trudy, my love,
the man, Trini DeSoto.
Los ojos son preciosos.
Well, if you boys will excuse us, Trudy and I are due for a little paint and body work.
[DeSoto] Muy hermosas, huh?
It's in the coat check... 120 even.
[Snaps Fingers] Good faith money, man.
A working relationship, remember?
I love this place, man.
Pretty people, first-class restrooms,
selective door policy.
# Only in Miami #
# Is Cuba so far away ##
Trini, come back, baby. Come back.
Don't mind me, man. I've been up four days running.
What kind of weight are we talking about, Teddy?
I can have 10 million U.S. At my disposal by noon tomorrow.
Forty grand a key. You figure it out.
I no making any promises, but you have arrived at a very opportunistic time.
Tell me about this killer boat of yours, Burnett.
Thirty-nine feet, all engine.
It can handle a good 80 keys and still outrun anything that the Coast Guard's got.
In that case, you might wanna have a second one of the same on call.
[DeSoto] Toda está bien.
If you hear from us at all, it'll be sometime tomorrow.
[Crockett] We'll be at the boat number, day or night.
Not so fast, Trini, man. You said Calderone would be here.
[Snaps Fingers] He has been.
Compliments from the gentleman across the room, sir.

I look forward to doing business with you.

What are you gonna do, huh?
A regular Hoover convention in the loo tonight. Six legs to a stall.
[Trudy] I guess that's why they call it the powder room, dear.
Hey, partner, you okay?
[Jamaican Accent] Yeah, mon, everything irie.
Champagne, anybody?
Look, I don't know about you party types, but I gotta be at work tomorrow.
So, can I just drop anyone?
Yeah, me.
Okay. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Good night.
Good night, Trudy. Good night, Tubbs.
I thought he said his name was Prentiss.
No, it's Rafael Tubbs. Did the, uh, computer come back with anything?
Yeah, it sure did.
I don't know who that joker is, Crockett, but according to the readout,
Detective Rafael Tubbs has been dead and buried over three weeks now.
## [Continues]
Come on, pick up the phone, man. Pick it up.
I mean, who knows who this guy is working for.
D.E.A.? I.R.S.? State? County?
Never trust anyone in this business.
Damn it.
For all I know, he could be working for Calderone.
Well, unless you wanna wait outside his hotel room all night,
there's not a hell of a lot you can do about it now anyway.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe I'm getting too old for this line of work.
Scraping by on four hours of sleep a day.
Living undercover for weeks at a time.
Dealer this week, outlaw biker the next.
It's Tuesday? I must be working drugs.
Hell on the old nervous system, I'll tell you.
- Disastrous on a marriage. - I know.
- Huh? - The kind of work we do.
It's tough on a relationship.
You ever forget who you are?
[Snickers]
Forget who I am?
Darling, sometimes I remember who I am.
But what the heck. I'm not complaining.
I got a terrific six-year-old boy.
Six years old. [Sighs]
Two boats, one freaked-out alligator.
And a just-announced free agency in the Southeast string bikini league.
[Clicks Tongue] It's like the song says,
"She left me at Sears and I cried all the way to Walgreens."
You can play that beach bum, cowboy routine with the football lingo...
and the beer commercial mentality from now till doomsday,
but I don't believe it.
You know something, Gina.
You can be a real pain in the butt sometimes.
But I like you.
I like you a lot.
I like you too, Sonny.
Oh, really.
Well, why have you tossed four dinner invitations in three weeks back at me?
And you wouldn't have come along tonight if you hadn't had Trudy along to block tackle.
My father always told me, Crockett,
never to get involved with a man on the rebound.
And as far as I'm concerned, you're bouncing so hard,
you're practically out of the ballpark.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You're still in love with Caroline.
Try again, lady.
[Hisses]
What are you looking at?
Mm-mm-mm. I'm in Miami.
Mm-mm-mm! [Squeals]
## [Imitates Trumpet]
[Footsteps]
Gina?
Hey, Crockett. Rise and shine, buddy boy. Crockett.!
- [Snarls] - Whoa, Elvis.
Hey, Crockett, now you tell this lapdog of yours he makes any false moves,
I'm gonna make a suitcase out of him.
[Hissing] Crockett?
Crockett.
This here's a flare gun, sucker.
So, unless you want your entire intestinal tract lit up like Cape Canaveral,
you got exactly 10 seconds to tell me who you are.
You crazy, man? What are you... Eight seconds!
What are you talking about, man? You know who I am!
Rafael Tubbs died three weeks ago in that New York shootout with Calderone.
Four seconds. Who are you, man?
His brother.
I'm his brother, Crockett!
I know we all look alike to you Southern crackers, but not this much.
Look at the picture, man. Look at it!
Rafael was the best. He was the reason why I became a cop.
I.D.'s in my right pocket, man.
Ricardo Tubbs, the Bronx. Armed Robbery Division?
Why?
Homicide up north wasn't getting anywhere.
The interdepartmental memo?
Priority security clearance? All forged.
How else could I have gotten down here?
A Bronx street cop on a Brooklyn narcotics investigation?
Tell 'em there was a death in the family?
Or as a veteran detective first-class on assignment?
That bastard killed my brother.
Counterfeit setup bread,
fake memos, forged security clearance.
Gee... God!
The biggest score of my entire godforsaken career,
and I'm teamed up with some outlaw New York street cop...
out on a hit mission. It's called justice, Crockett.
It's called vengeance, my friend. Plain and simple.
Now, I may seem somewhat unorthodox to the untrained eye,
but when it comes to being a cop, I am strictly business, pal.
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna put my life on the line with some outlaw cop...
on a personal vendetta.
'Cause when it gets personal, it gets messy.
And when it gets messy, the wrong people get killed. ¿Comprende?
I'm blowing the whistle to Rodriguez.
You're out of this operation, Tubbs, as of now.
There is no operation without me, Crockett.
Calderone will back out of this place so fast, it'll make your badge spin.
[Phone Ringing]
- It's probably them now. - [Continues Ringing]
Four people dead, two months'work and all for nothing?
[Continues Ringing]
Crockett, please!
Answer it.
[Jamaican Accent] Yeah, mon.
Three hundred pounds?
8:00 tonight off Virginia Key. Geez.
Panamanian registered shrimp boat. Terrific.
Oh, I took the liberty of calling a little pregame strategy meeting about, uh,
10 minutes for all the backups...
Switek, Zito, Hoban, Dibble, Gorman and Augustine.
I figure we run down the fine points then?
Terrific. Great. Uh, what about, uh, Tubbs?
I got him low-profiling it on my boat till the party starts.
Lieutenant, you've got a call from a Sister Agnes at Immaculate Heart.
Uh, ye... Um, look, uh, I'll have to get back to her.
Immaculate Heart? Yeah.
I'm sending my boy Hector there in the fall.
Good school. Expensive too.
Wish I could afford to send Billy there.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing, Lou. Seems like an awfully tough nut to make on a lieutenant's salary.
What's the matter with you, Crockett?
If you wanna know where I got the money, just ask me.
Okay, Lou, where'd you get the money?
None of your business.
Get outta here.
You got the name trace yet on those phone numbers we found in Leon's apartment?
Should have them in about an hour for you, Sonny.
For my eyes only, pal. I need some blowups.
Here and here. High-priority rush.
Yo, Crock. Whenever you're ready, Professor.
Be with you in a minute, girls.
Sonny, you got that Mendoza case? L... Just a minute, Trudy.
Gina, I, uh, got everything straightened out on Tubbs.
It was a little computer mix-up.
You, uh, sure made a fast exit this morning.
I got nothing to say to you.
Gina, what are you...
Gina!
Hey, Gina. Gina, wait. What are you so mad about?
Think about it. I'll get back to you.
Gina, look. What are you doing in here? Get out!
Look, I didn't plan for that to happen last night.
But I think it's pretty terrific that it did. Sensational, Crockett.
Full moon, the boat, a few drinks too many,
soft music, uh, a little sudden onboard romance.
What's so bad about that? Do you mind?
Funny thing is, is you know I almost believed you till this morning.
Nothing like having some guy roll over at sunup and whisper his ex-wife's name in your ear...
to boost your self-image.
Gina, I'm really sorry.
This is the last situation I wanted to find myself in, Crockett.
I don't need it. Do you understand?
You know what... You know what upsets me the most?
Is that I let it happen because I wanted it to happen.

Any questions? Yeah, I got a question.
You roll some fruit for that shirt, or what?

As a matter of fact, Stan, your old lady gave me this shirt, and it wasn't my birthday.

Okay, weapons check and final pep rally back here at 1800, girls.

[Wolf Whistle] Oh, grow up.
[Man] Look at this. Yea! Yea!
[Chattering] Say, baby. [Wolf Whistle]
Wheeler.
If Wheeler's the leak, then DeSoto knows Tubbs is a cop.
Didn't wanna bust up the lecture with any phone calls, Sonny,
but a guy named Tubbs called about 20 minutes ago.
He said he's rushing out for a meeting with a Trini DeSoto or something.

Tell Rodriguez to meet me at 550 Belinda Street.
Tell him I found the leak.
Hey, Sonny. What brings you out to this neck of the woods?
Come in, come in, come in. Hey, uh, Donna, look who's here.
Hey, Sonny. I hope you brought an appetite.
Hi, gang. Uncle Sonny, Mom's cooking spaghetti.
Are you gonna eat? No, not this time, son.
Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
You're gonna be sorry. I know.
What's up?
If that's not enough, I've got a list of payoffs from DeSoto's place.
I think we'd better handle this outside.
Um, uh, honey, I've got some business. Um, I'll be right back.
Don't be long, okay? No, no, I won't.
Three months behind on the mortgage.
Thirty-six grand in ScottJr.'s medical expenses last year alone.
And me clearing a lousy 30 a year,
getting shot at by guys who blow that much in a restaurant in a month.
Six months ago, a guy comes up to me outside of a club in Little Havana.
Hands me a suitcase.
He says, " Compliments of Mr. Calderone."
Nothing else.
Just... compliments.
I didn't even open the damn thing for two weeks.
Sonny... How much?
How much to buy you, Scottie?
Seventy grand.
The calls from DeSoto started about a month later.
Information. That's all they wanted was information.
Information?
I tried to pull out at least a dozen times, but it was too late.
I mean, I never expected anybody to get killed.
They changed the game plan on us, Scott.
Is it still going down tonight?
Yeah. Where?
You gotta help me, man. You gotta help me, man. I got a family.
Where? Where? I got 15 years as a stand-up cop.
I got two medals of valor. I took a bullet for you, for God's sakes.
[Sighs]
They're runnin' a sports fishing boat out of Keys Marina.
The drop-off's up river.
Am I, uh, am I missing something here, or what, Scottie?
I don't get it.
I don't understand this.
You were my partner.
I had you and Donna and the kids over to dinner, what, 20 or 30 times.
Thanksgiving, birthdays.
I trusted you!
I trusted you, you bastard! I trusted you!

[Tubbs] What do you mean you're gonna transfer him? What's wrong with this jail?
By hiding Calderone away in an out-of-town lockup,
we buy the D.A. Enough time to prepare a no-bail plea at the preliminary tomorrow.
Yeah, but he's still due a phone call.
Can't his people just hire some crooked judge to cruise on up to the suburbs and spring him?
Nobody will know he's in the suburbs, not even Calderone himself.
We're transferring him in a blacked-out paddy wagon.
Because I don't like those people. Hey, Dolan, you're a genius.
Look, honey, if you wanna eat with those people, you eat with them.
Come on. Tonight.
Honey, I'll call you back. I gotta go.
Transfer of a prisoner... Calderone, Orlando.
Let's see.
Cabanez, Cadwood, Caldoni, Calderone.
Oh, yeah. How he got some judge in here...
this hour of the morning beats the hell out of me.
- What judge? - Ajudge?
- Where is he? - He's gone.
What do you mean gone? How could you let him go?
- Had to. He had a judge with him. - How long ago?
I don't know... 10, 15 minutes. What's the big deal?
Nobody skips on two million dollars bail.

I guess you got a job to get back to up there in New York, hey, Tubbs?
Get outta here, Crockett. You kidding?
After the little show I put on down here hits the fan,
I'll be lucky to get back on payroll as a meter maid.
Hey, Tubbs,
you ever consider a career in Southern law enforcement?
[Tubbs] Maybe.
