Miami Vice (2006) - full transcript

(NUMBENCORE PLAYING)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, darling. Two Bacardi
mojitos and a gin and tonic.

Lemon or lime?

Lime.

Where you from?

Lisboa. That's in Portugal.

But you got your tan in Miami?

What's your name?

- Rita.
- Rita. Sonny.

See you later, Rita.



Hey, Michael.

- Neptune.
- Here are your dates.

Hey, baby.

Here you go.

- Let me hit you now. - No,
no, no. Please, put it away.

- Be cool.
- Come on.

Hit me later.

What's with number three?

She's sick, man.

SWITEK: That's cool.
I'll go with two.

Let's go, sweetheart.

NEPTUNE: Do you know how
much I'm losing tonight?

HAITIAN GIRL: No.

(NEPTUNE SPEAKING CREOLE)



BOUNCER: Where you going?

SONNY: Easy. Easy.

Neptune should ease up
on the merchandise.

Flip the girls upstairs
and we got him.

His day will come.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

- Alonzo: Sonny?
- Yeah. Who's this?

Sonny?

Alonzo?

Alonzo, I can't talk. We're in
the middle of a deal right now.

Take care of Leonetta for me.

Ask Ricardo to do that.

I gave up nothing on you.

They're on their own. It's all
their deal, anyway. Fuck them.

Alonzo, what are
you talking about?

I'm falling by the house,

and then I'm gone.

So whatever you can do
for her, okay, Sonny?

Alonzo.

Goodbye.

- What is it?
- Alonzo Stevens.

Something's wrong.

He told you to look
after Leonetta for him.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

FBI AGENT: FBI Miami.

This is Detective Crockett, Miami-Dade
PD. Patch me through to your SAC.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Leonetta, it's Rico.

Give me a call back as
soon as you get a chance.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)

This is ASAC John Fujima.

Detective Crockett.

What's your Miami-Dade badge
number and date of birth?

447-Charlie-1292.

- 447-Charlie-1292.
- Sonny: 07-02-70.

OFFICER ON PHONE:
Miami-Dade PD Tech.

Bobby G., it's Rico.

Hey, that transponder we had on Alonzo
Stevens' Bentley, it still running?

When's the last time we used it?

I don't know. We ain't
worked him in six months.

Okay. So?

SONNY: One of your deals
may be going bad.

Confidential informant we
cut loose to you guys.

Cl's name is Alonzo Stevens.
He called us.

We haven't spoken to
him in six months.

How do I discuss this
over an open phone line?

How the hell do I know?

We got the phone call from
Alonzo on an open line.

That is the hand we have been
dealt at 11:47 on Saturday night.

Now, I do not know what case you
have him on, but whatever it is,

it is going bad, and it sounds
like it is going bad right now.

It's a preliminary
meet and greet.

RICO: Meet and greet?

You flash me yours,
I'll flash you mine?

FUJIMA: Who are you?

- Ricardo Tubbs.
- My partner.

Yeah, deal goes down another
time, another place.

- So, what? No HRT weapons team
out there? - That's right.

Colombians? Russians?

White supremacists.

And that tape is not gonna
look good in court.

Aryan Brotherhood? Mongols?
Nazi Low Riders? What?

We think Aryan Brotherhood,
but we don't know for sure.

- What's up?
- Get Michael out of there.

- What about Neptune?
- It's Neptune's lucky night.

What else did Stevens tell you?

He said that it went bad, that he
didn't give us up. Told us goodbye.

ZITO: Rico, we got the Bentley.

Hey, he just got on the 95
southbound from the 195 causeway.

We got meth, ice,
glass, Es, Ks, ex,

Mitsue, Ames, Colombian H.

Ice.

Party down with the coke.

You're looking at 92% pure.

Not like that jumped-on powder
they sell up in Nuyorico.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Never seen green?

You got the green.
We got the goods.

We party.

Larry'll call you in the a. M. About
quantity and money, time and place.

Hey, Ivan!

My brother.

How long have you been
working with the FBI?

Alonzo, pull over!

Pull over!

Stay back!

What'd you do?

I fronted their undercover team to
these guys like usual, you know?

They're Feds, Russian speakers.

I was the middleman.

- What, 15%? - Yeah, yeah,
yeah, to set up the meet.

They grabbed Leonetta.

They took Leonetta.

I gave them up, man.

Gave up the Feds. Everything.

Everything I knew. Rico,
I got to go home.

Got people there now.

- How did they get onto you,
Alonzo? - How the hell do I know?

They knew one Russian was
FBI from the get-go, so...

They knew I knew.

- Rico, I gotta go.
- Rico: Alonzo. Alonzo.

(RICO DIALING PHONE)

- Rico, I got to go. I got
to go. - Alonzo. Alonzo!

- I gotta fucking go!
- Hello?

(TURNING OFF CELL PHONE)

RICO: You don't...

You don't...

You don't need to go home.

They said they wouldn't
hurt her, man.

They lied.

- Alonzo!
- No!

Prints on the fridge.

Hold on.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

CASTILLO: Where are you?
What's your QTH?

Just a couple blocks away.
We can see the lights.

Turn around.

Turn around? Look, we
know these people.

Meet me in 15 minutes,
Standard Park.

- What the hell just happened?
- Rico: What was that?

Who's this?

He needs to talk to you.

I'm Fujima. We
talked on the phone.

- So, this was your operation?
- Yes, at command level.

We trusted our informant, Alonzo, to you,
and you got his whole family killed?

What, did you jump some amateurs
into a game they ain't ready for?

- What the fuck happened, man?
- Three men got killed!

- Sonny: And so did our...
- Cool down.

They discovered my guys were
undercover, and we don't know how.

This was an interagency task
force, DEA, ATF, U.S. Customs.

The leak could have
come from any one unit.

I gotta assume my operational
security is compromised.

Compromised? Your whole op sec is blown.
You're Stone cold dead in the water.

Meanwhile, it does not track.

White supremacist gang?

White prison gangs is tweakers
and meth labs and trailer parks.

Bouncing the old lady around
until they get busted back.

And how did they get all high tech
with sophisticated counterintel?

And what we here talking
to you for, anyway?

Miami-Dade wasn't part
of the task force.

Oh.

They don't know you.

So, you want to recruit us?

Identify them. Who are they?

- How did they cut into us?
- How do we cut into them?

How do we get all close
and personal with them?

Make a buy. That worked well.

Sell to them? We supply them?

No, they got a steady
stream of supply.

Colombian named Jos? Yero,
midlevel trafficker.

Okay. So what about Yero? Can
we get to them through Yero?

- FUJIMA: Possible.
- What does he need?

- Money laundering? Transpo?
- FUJIMA: Transpo.

He outsources his
transportation.

Okay.

Do we run an undercover
on Jos? Yero?

So we transport a load for
Yero into this group?

So can we run a load for Yero
into this group? It's a question.

He transships out of Haiti.

Flies his product in from Colombia, hires
someone to run it from Haiti into here.

This is a FLIR image of someone's
go-fast boats running in a Yero load.

AWAC shot it.

That's all we got.

All right. If they do this,

I'd like them deputized as federal under
OCDETF for the purposes of this case.

Fine by me.

Because your op sec is blown,

your agency can't know anything about
how they do whatever it is they do.

That's why I came alone.
Thank you.

Sorry about your men.

CASTILLO: What'd you spot?

Go-fast boats running that close? On
radar they look like one, not two.

Total darkness?

Man, those are skill sets.

Plus, who runs four 250
Mercs off a deep-V hull?

Sal Maguda.

- He that good?
- Oh, yeah.

SONNY: Bleaching it down.

Must have just unloaded.

- Who are we?
- How's your Creole?

(RICO SHOUTING IN CREOLE)

Do you know whose load this is?

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hey, Nicholas, my ace.
What's up?

Everything's good. You?

We good. We all good.

As a matter of fact, we're looking to
charge up your cash flow. Hold on.

- Nicholas, how you doing?
- Sonny. What's up?

Somebody's something's got
to go somewhere, some when.

Not too distant in the future.

Except he had transpo problems.

RICO: Call Colombia.

- Man, that's Jos? Yero.
- Rico: Really?

NICHOLAS: He is AUC, you know.
Colombian right-wing paramilitaries.

You know who they are? They are
vertically integrated. They are...

You mean, they walk around
with constant erections?

No. They farm, process,
produce, export...

I know what it means.

No, see, it gives them attitude.

A player negotiates too hard and
you never hear from him again,

'cause these guys
kill everything!

I gotta know what's the skinny.

- It's none of your fucking business.
- It can come back on me, baby.

It can't come back on you, baby.

- Am I assured of that?
- Hey, sunshine.

When has Rico or Sonny
ever lied to you, huh?

I mean, when has anything Rico told you
not happened exactly like he said?

RICO: You saying I lie to you?
NICHOLAS: No, I'm not saying that...

TRUDY: Yes, you are.

NICHOLAS: It's just there's
variables, you know?

Randomness, see? That's why.

- "That's why," what? - Well,
why, like, if you can't deliver,

this group goes from zero to
high-order violence like that.

You made a 15% commission off three
money-laundering prosecutions

I put you into,

you know, which is why you
live in your $4 million condo.

And you question Rico and Sonny?

Fuck that. I will cap your skanky ass
and throw it off that goddamn balcony.

"Yeah, then we can kick back and watch
Marlins highlights on this 65" plasma.

After we clean this place up.
Don't you ever put anything away?

Plus he's gonna commission Jos?
Yero for putting you to Jos? Yero.

Anybody looking at his ill-gotten
gains? IRS looking into his shit?

SONNY: Any reason this
does not go down?

That's the sound of air rapidly filling
the vacuum created by your departed body.

On account of how fast I remanded
your ass back into custody.

Why is this happening to me?

Because you lead
a life of crime.

Can't do time, don't
mess with crime.

SONNY: He's cool.
He'll make the call.

Hey, you.

Wake up.

What happened to you? Aren't
you excited to see me?

I can't talk about it.

- Mmm-hmm.
- This is all right.

I'm just joking.

Go to sleep. Go to sleep
right here. That's it.

- Any word?
- Rico: Nothing.

"Hey, Trudy. " Hey, Sonny.

Hey, Trudy. How you
doing, darling?

Who are we here?

It's the same fabricated
fundamentals as before.

Rico.

3- to-5 on assault, Folsom
B-wing, Pelican Bay.

Sonny, Marine Corps, Chicago,
and 10 plus weapons.

Five out of eight, and jumped parole.
Pelican Bay, where you guys hooked up.

And then it goes cold,

'cause presumably you're both too smart
and too fast to get jacked again.

What about this place?

It'll show up leased
under these aliases.

How'd they test?

- And who tested them?
- Helene in NYPD.

And she worked through
your false identities,

and then she found your deeper,
hidden, more criminal selves.

- Sonny: Yeah.
- He's in.

You're on. The meet's in Haiti.

He'll negotiate the
price in person.

Call me after you've
landed in Port-au-Prince,

'cause only when you're on the ground
will he tell me where you are to go.

Be careful. Be cool.

Approaching. Turning to heading
340 down to 6,000 feet.

Clear to the ILS runway 1-0 for
the approach to Port-au-Prince.

Why do I get the feeling everybody
knows we're here 15 blocks out?

'Cause everybody knows
we're here 15 blocks out.

Sit.

Jos?.

Sonny Burnett. That's
my partner, Ricardo.

Thank you for coming down.

So, let's lay it out.

Nicholas say you
run a tight group.

That's nice, 'cause we got
product that's got to move.

- Real tight. We move as fast
as FedEx. - Move to where?

To New York, through
South Florida.

- Sonny: Move when?
- Right now.

That's kind of all
of an instant.

RICO: That means only
one thing, real fast.

So, the price, is it right?

Price is right.

But how I know if you
any good at this shit?

What's that?

Yeah, your business. How
much volume you do?

Whose product you move?
Who you work with?

Other than Nicholas, who
the fuck knows you?

Well, my mommy and
daddy know me.

And we don't talk about
who we work with.

And we didn't come down here
to audition for business.

Business auditions for us.

And knows all about us,
before they call Nicholas.

That way we don't waste avgas
or our motherfucking time.

SONNY: You want us to be
telling you about our shit?

You can't find out on your own?

Why do I not buy that?

You with DEA? The Feeb?
What's up?

They targeting our transpo line?
You with the Man?

You wearing a wire?

RICO: I'm gonna tell you
what's gonna happen.

People gonna come in here, and
you know what they gonna say?

They're gonna look around
and they're gonna go...

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

"That's some crazy motherfucking
wallpaper. What is that?"

"Jackson Pollock?"

"No, viejo. That was Jos? Yero, who got
splattered all over his own wall."

So, we can close each other's
eyes right now, real fast.

But then ain't nobody
gonna make no money.

ISABELLA: Jos?.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

So let's talk equipment.

Adam A500s, carbon
composite, real stealthy.

1,400 nautical-mile
range, low and slow.

We like Caravelles and 727s to move
the product from source countries

to transshipment
places like here.

Big loads, we like containers.

Smaller loads into South
Florida, we do go-fast boats.

So, what's the weight?

- First, let's talk logistics.
- Okay.

You pick up a load, you fly it in the
hole, we tell you the drop point,

and our people then
move it on up the road.

Now, not so fast. People at the drop
point are our people, not yours.

You know, so there's no tweakers, dopers,
first-timers, people we don't know.

They didn't do time with us,
they ain't doing crime with us.

Once we pick up the load, the
next time you hear from us

it'll be a date,
time, and a place.

Like, "There's a 18-Wheeler
in a parking lot

in north Miami with the
keys in the ignition."

You pick it up, you drive away.
Smooth, that's how we do it.

So, when you looking to move it?

Never.

'Cause how you drop loads, I don't
like, so maybe this don't work.

Then it don't work.

Red light, green light, Jos?.

They also call me Cochi Loco.

That means "crazy pig."

'Cause I run security
and counterintel.

I get people to tell me what
they don't ever want to say.

And I have eyes everywhere.

That part of what I do, you
never want to find out about.

Other people negotiate
money, and go and no go.

Yes, no, maybe so.

Not me.

So, what the hell are
we talking to you for?

- I had to lay my eyes on you.
- Sonny: Why is that?

To see if you go meet the Man.

And?

You seem okay.

But him,

I don't like how he looks.

Do you want to fuck my partner, or
do you want to do business with us?

'Cause I don't give a shit
how you think he looks.

Wait by the phone in the hotel.

You get a call, or
maybe you don't.

And then you can piss off
back to where you come from.

Yero said New York
through South Florida.

Then this load does not
go to the Miami group.

That may take load number two.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(SPEAKING CREOLE)

That was fast.

Four hours. They're dicking
us around. Call it.

That's it.

Let's go.

ISABELLA: Put your
guns on the table.

We didn't bring you
here to kill you.

If we want you dead, you'd have been
no longer drawing breath in Miami.

$3,000 a kilo on small loads.

SONNY: Thought we had
to meet the Man.

You do.

- When is that?
- Right now.

Full signal, no service.
They're jamming the phones.

This is the type of stuff
the CIA does. In Baghdad.

Yeah. What's it doing
on a dope deal?

Out of the car.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

MAN: See the three trucks?
Move there now.

SONNY: Where'd all
the people go?

Ready, boss?

Excuse me, because
I am very busy.

I have many things to do,
so this will be brief. Yes?

I will try you out on one
load to build trust.

1,000 ki's out of Colombia.
Your end is $3 million.

In all matters, when
you work for me,

you must do exactly what
you say you will do.

In this business with me, I do not
buy a service. I buy a result.

If you say you will do a thing,

you must do exactly that thing.

Then you will prosper beyond your dreams
and live in Miami millionaire-style.

You will contact and
work through Jos? Yero

on logistics,
communications, security.

To do with money and terms, you
will work through my Isabella.

I look forward to our
doing more work together.

Whether we do or do not, it is
unlikely that we will meet again.

I extend my best wishes
to your families.

Thank you for making
this trip to see me.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Flight 000 is airborne.

ZITO: This is November
1206 Sierra. Roger that.

CONTROLLER: Good afternoon. Radar
contact. Climb and maintain 7,000.

November 636 is coming your
way from the northwest.

636.

CONTROLLER: Opa-locka
Departure, good afternoon.

Radar contact. Climb
and maintain 7,000.

King Air 1206 Sierra,

you see anything off
your right side?

This is November 1206 Sierra.
Negative, Opa-locka.

I got a double hit. I think
there's another plane there.

SUPERVISOR: Let me see.

CONTROLLER 2: Go down to 220.

Ghost. One blip, one plane.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

Oye, Burnett. Our client got delivery.
Product's on the road. Good work.

Yeah, but we had a problem
before your client showed up.

Somebody tried to
rip off the load.

You know a detail shop
on Second and Overtown?

I do.

Across the street we found a stash
house. 10:00 a. M. Be there.

Here we go.

ZITO: Only two.

RICO: They tried to Jack your load. We
brought him home and discovered this.

YERO: Haitians stole
this two weeks ago.

That's my load.
This is my product.

RICO: How'd they know
where the drop was?

- How'd they know?
- I find out.

See you later.

I see you, I see a load
we lost two weeks ago

all in the same place.

Well, you don't like us finding your load,
we can go ahead and lose it all over again.

What other suspicions did
you mastermind today?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

We want our product back.

Sure.

How much?

How much...

- For what?
- For recovering that.

Nothing.

Nothing?

Consider it an investment

in the future of a fine
business relationship.

That is because it's yours.
What's yours is yours.

So is this a one-time deal?

Or is something else coming up?

Give them the
shipment on the 17th.

- Rico: Conveyance?
- By ocean. Out of Barranquilla.

Jos? has details.

Lay it out.

You're gonna get the longs and
lats for a transshipment point.

Ma'am.

- Do me one favor.
- Yeah?

In return for the risks we
took in recovering your load,

allow me to buy you a drink.

How fast does that go?

Goes very fast.

Show me.

Where would you like to go?

What do you like to drink?

I'm a fiend for mojitos.

I know a place.

RICO: Partner.

I know what I'm doing.

All right. The secured
satellite comms,

longs and lats for the transshipment
points, that's all cool.

But I need a vector,
not a location.

Ships move, that's why
they call them ships.

Ship stops, it's trying to
impersonate an apartment building.

At sea, that is very suspicious.
Brings about attention.

AWACS, Coast Guard, U.S.
Customs, that's all bad.

I take you to the best
place for mojitos.

Where is that?

Bodeguita Del Medio.

Oh, the Keys?

Havana.

Havana?

Cubans don't like my business.

- And they don't like my passport. - It's
okay, the harbormaster is my cousin.

Grab the wheel.

You do business in Cuba
with your husband?

I never do business in Cuba.

And Jes?s is not my husband.

I'm a businesswoman.

I do not need a husband to
have a house to live in.

(BAND PLAYING CUBAN MUSIC)

- You like the mojito?
- Mojito's great.

Do you dance?

I dance.

(ISABELLA SPEAKING SPANISH)

You will like it.

Allman Brothers. You
know Allman Brothers?

No.

Lynyrd Skynyrd? Free Bird?

- No Skynyrd. - Well, that
was the music back then.

And he played all
those Atlanta bars.

But his luck was...

Well, my dad never got lucky,
so he started trucking.

Yeah, I didn't see a whole lot
of him. But we were close.

- You look like your mother?
- Why?

She died in Angola
when I was 16.

She was a translator.

I show you photograph.
It's from wedding.

This is a bad idea.

This is past a bad idea.

And it has no future.

That's right.

So, then there's nothing
to worry about.

Come here.

See?

Lucinda somebody's wedding.

Everybody is with couples.

Husbands and wives,
they all pose.

But she is the most special.

Let's talk a different
kind of deal.

You pay us zero.

Is it December?

Why?

Did Christmas come
early this year?

No.

We become partners
on the loads we run.

What we want is 25% of
that load in product.

And why, you're thinking,

would I be crazy enough to cut
in these gringos like that?

It's because Sonny and Ricardo can
deliver to me what no one else can.

We guarantee loads.

Comes up short, we make good.

Your operation will run
from now on out risk-free.

And you are the 25% partner?

You?

What if I tell you your ideas
are too big for your skin?

And merely to propose this
is a dangerous thing.

Then I would say to
you, this has been fun.

Okay. So?

Think of the cash you
don't have to front.

Cash is not difficult.

Seventeen.

I would say you're five percentage
points away from a deal.

Maybe I'm only one.

You've convinced me.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Rico: What's up? Where are
you? - I'm on my way back.

RICO: The meeting with
Castillo is in 45 minutes.

- What's up, Sonny. You okay?
- Fine, darling.

RICO: So, where you been?

Hit a couple of jazz clubs,
fell back to her place.

- Where?
- Vedado.

- Where's Vedado?
- Suburbs outside Havana.

- You went to Havana, Cuba?
- No, Havana, Louisiana.

Don't we have a meet?

You making moves on
Montoya's woman?

- No. - You're not
making moves on her?

- We're making moves on each other. - Oh,
so that's supposed to make it all right?

Something like that.

- So what happened to the first load?
- Went to Dominicans in New York.

We think load number two's going to our
guys. South Florida. Their big buyer.

- Okay, that's great.
- Yeah.

But we wanna go beyond
load number two.

- Why are we going exploring?
- Who's the "we"?

Only thing you've contributed
so far to this is bad intel.

- How's that?
- Jos? Yero, cocaine producer?

Yero's middle management, part of
a bigger transnational operation

run by Arc?ngel
de Jes?s Montoya.

Montoya's the new news.
Globalized.

Moving?

Colombian coke and H,
arms from the Ukraine,

E from Holland, pirated software
from China into Brazil.

What's this got to do with
the price of tea in China?

We're seeing their ops.

Transpo. You know,
money-laundering networks.

It would take years to put
together a deal like this.

We want to stay under, run in
load number two and keep going,

and hold off busting
the ABs or Yero.

We illuminate Montoya's
operations from the inside.

No one has ever tread
before where we are now.

Well, the answer's no.

We take the Aryan Brothers, the
shooters, pressure them for the leak.

It's a bird in the hand.

I'm not changing my op plan for
speculation masquerading as intel.

Look, I know undercover
requires aggression,

some outlaw attitude. You know, how
else do you lie down with dogs?

- Okay, but that...
- Go fuck yourself.

Chill. Sonny, chill.

You know what this
prick's game is?

He'll get his picture in the
Miami Herald off a quick bust,

save his punk-ass career
at the slug farm in DC.

- We are not backing off this.
- CASTILLO: That's it.

Where you on this?

100% with Sonny.

Change the mission statement.

I have to run it
past my ADO in DC.

Hey, slick. Don't try
and shine me on.

You don't have the
time or the skill.

If I close this down,

I will close it down right now.

And you can sink in Washington.

All right, do it.

You fucking better be right.

- So, what's going on?
- As in?

As in, there's undercover and
then there is, "Which way is up?"

Oh, you think I'm in
so deep, I forgot?

I will never doubt you.

MONTOYA: Did you find it?
ISABELLA: Yeah.

Dominion or Blackstone
hedge funds?

MONTOYA: Through Hong Kong bank?
ISABELLA: Yes.

MONTOYA: Ukrainian shipment?

Eight tons, small arms and RPGs

on the 27th.

Tell me about the deal
in South Florida.

They want 18% of the product to bring
in loads. They guarantee them.

Our risk goes to zero.

And Burnett?

What does your
intuition tell you?

My intuition about Burnett?

I slept with him in Havana.

And?

A serious man.

Ambitious, but he
has to be watched.

After a few good runs, he will
renegotiate the deal upwards.

That's my girl.

But Jos? Yero thinks
you are wrong.

On the next load, he wants to front
them silver, but pay them in lead.

What do you wanna do?

I like the diminished risk.

I like businessmen who are competent
because you can predict their behavior.

On the other hand, if what you wish
is El plomo, the lead, then do that.

After the load is received, we
will close their eyes forever.

We will try a few runs
with these partners.

I will tell Jos?.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Hola, chica.

Hola, chico.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, what's up? This
is Trudy, my girl.

- It's a pleasure.
- Hey, nice club.

I redid it.

And I got places in Medell?n,
Foz do Igua?u, and Rio.

- You like clubs?
- Oh, yeah. I'm a disco guy.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

In the back.

In Col?n, in Panama, a Malaysian
freighter will transfer eight tons.

Crates with Russian marking.

Do not open them.

The 4,000 ki's you move into Miami,
you keep and release when we say.

So long as delivery
goes down our way.

Sure.

But the crates, they come
back to Barranquilla.

You want us to break down the
load for different buyers?

No. It's one, my main
South Florida guy.

RICO: Jos?, my ace.

Skies are crowded, man.

AWAC's, ICE, DEA
spies in the sky.

Do you have any counterintel you could
contribute to the good and the welfare?

YERO: Sure.

Check your e-mail.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

BODYGUARD: Hello?

(YERO SPEAKING SPANISH ON PHONE)

It's Jos?.

- Jos?, what is it?
- I don't like the Americans.

- Why?
- Too good at what they do.

So?

They are wrong.

Somehow, somehow they are wrong.

You ran them. Did you run them?

- Yes.
- Do they check out?

Yes.

We made their deal.

And Isabella disagrees with you.

ISABELLA: Once I had a fortune.

It said, "Live now. Life
is short. Time is luck."

You got assets somewhere?

Insurance?

Why?

Things go wrong.

The odds catch up.

Probability is like gravity.

You cannot negotiate
with gravity.

One day...

One day you should just
cash out, you know.

Just cash out and get out.

- Yeah? - Yeah. As far
and as fast as you can.

Would you find me?

Yes, I would.

This is very Cuban. The
protective male talking.

It's the talk of a man.

If he were your husband,

he would never put you at risk.

And he would never put you
within 1,000 miles of anything

that could hurt you.

And where would you be?

A while longer still in this
business, and then I'd find you.

- Would you?
- Yes, ma'am.

If you couldn't, I would have
left the only thing I know

since I was 17.

But none of this will happen.

Because what do you see around?

Look around you.

It's controlled by
Arc?ngel de Jes?s Montoya.

RICO: Let me talk to Fujima.

- FUJIMA: Who's this?
- Ricardo.

Okay, go ahead.

Listen, I want you
to issue an alert.

An informant has revealed
that a freighter

departed Barranquilla

for South Florida with plans to
transship contraband to go-fast boats

in broad daylight one day next
week off the coast of Miami.

Okay.

For Customs, you say Monday.

For FBI operations in
DC, you say Tuesday.

FBI Miami, you say
Wednesday, DEA on Thursday,

Coast Guard on Friday. And keep
it classified, keep it discreet,

keep it out of interagency
communications.

Yero hit me back.

He says U.S. assets expects our
transshipment load on Tuesday day.

Tuesday day only went out to
FBI Operations planted in DC.

So what's up?

Anything could be in those
crates out of Odessa.

This one has too many moving
parts, too many unknowns.

It's your call.

Where you at?

The message from Yero locates
the agency and the office

where the leak is coming from.
I call that progress.

So, let's take it to the
limit one more time.

RICO: Move!

We got to go. R?pido.

Let's go. Let's go.
Come on, let's go.

- How we looking?
- I can take one more.

RICO: Good. Let's move!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

That's it. Take off.

Let's hit it.

All right, Julio, break the
lines and straighten the load.

JULIO: Break the lines.

We'll rendezvous in
about eight hours.

WOMAN ON TV: If there's any place
where most people feel at home,

it's right in their
own backyard.

And that's why today, more than
ever, homeowners are asking,

"What can we do to make
our backyard a paradise,"

"a vacation destination
you can visit anytime,"

"without the hassle of air travel,
or even starting the car?"

We'll answer these
questions and much more.

(PLANE FLYING OVERHEAD)

Be loaded up in a minute.

(DIALING ON TELEPHONE)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Yeah? - MAN: Want you
to listen to this.

Who are you? Who is this?

Shut up and listen.

ANCHORWOMAN ON TV: Developing
news in weather today,

there's new activity
in the tropics.

We turn things over to meteorologist
Ryan Phillips. What's developing?

WEATHERMAN: Coincidentally, three
years ago today, July 24th,

that's when Hurricane Danny formed
out across the Atlantic Basin.

And now we have our own tropical troubles
as Hurricane Ernesto, a Category...

Somebody's proving
it's right now.

Yeah.

ANCHORWOMAN: All right, Ryan.
Thanks.

And we've got some good news
about your electric bill.

Your rates will not be going up.

MAN: Say hello, honey.

Some nice friends you got.

Urban trailer trash with B.O.
and a noisy fucking...

MAN: Yeah.

They know.

Pay attention.

I will now tell you when and how
this load will get dropped.

This is happening our way.

You have 30 minutes from right
now to enter Government Cut.

Head up the Miami River.
You have 15 minutes

to make it to the
First Avenue bridge.

When you're there, I'll call
you with the exact drop point.

You fuck up, we fuck her up.

COLEMAN ON PHONE: It's me.
We're on.

What's the deal?

For doing the deed,
30% off the load.

RICO: J.C.!

RICO: Zito!

Zito, you copy?

Don't hear you. Go again.

Zito, do you copy?

Go to Marine 78.

RICO ON RADIO: They
took Trudy hostage.

What's the ask?
What do they want?

They want us to drop
the load their way.

They got eyes on us.

We're on a timetable. The next call that
we get will be at the First Avenue bridge.

Where do we hook up?

Hook up at the Port
bridge ahead of that.

RICO: Port bridge.
GINA: I got it.

ZITO: What did Trudy say?

Urban trailer park. Did
you hear the roar?

- Was it near the freeway?
- No, no, no. Airport.

Sonny, Rico, where
is the drop site?

RICO: We'll know last minute.
They got Trudy.

Maybe in a trailer
park near an airport.

Look for antennas. These guys
manage a lot of signal traffic.

They will not kill her until
they've got the goods.

Once they've got the
goods, she is dead.

When they see the boat, we
slow this down. Buy some time.

Did they prove she's alive?

That's the first thing
they put through.

Try Paradise Trailer
Park near the airport.

Sonny, I got a possible.
It has three HF antennas.

It's on the corner lot
at the southeast end.

For you.

Hello?

Where are you?

Geneva.

Yero's buyerjacked
one of our people.

- What the fuck's going on?
- What's he want?

To control the delivery.

It's Yero, not the buyer.

He wants to kill you.

I do not know what shit
he's pulling, okay?

But whatever he tells you
to do, do not do it.

- So? - It's Jos? Yero.
Be a hit and a rip.

SWITEK ON RADIO:
Slow as we can go.

Two and a half minutes
before we hit the drop site.

RICO: Copy that.

SONNY: (WHISPERING) Hold it.

Clear.

CASTILLO: Sonny. Ricardo.

Copy.

I'm approaching on a
west parallel street.

It's clear. Sonny's in
position on the east.

Four people. Two shooters.

RICO: Milano's Pizza.

ARYAN BROTHER: You order pizza?

No.

GINA: Hold it!

Hold it!

Drop the detonator!

Drop the detonator!

WOMAN: Leon, no.

Shoot me, she dies.

Shoot me. Go ahead.

Fuck it. We can all go.

- That's cool.
- That's not what happens.

What will happen is...

What will happen is, I will put a
round at 2,700 feet per second

into the medulla at the
base of your brain,

and you will be dead from the neck
down before your body knows it.

Your finger won't even twitch.
Only you get dead.

So, tell me, sport,
do you believe that?

Hey...

Get down!

- Be still.
- We got her.

- Motherfucker!
- He's dead.

All right?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

COLEMAN ON PHONE: Jos?.

Those guys and your
product are a no-show.

Stay here until we clear.
Do you hear me?

Our QTH is C-33.

We are in the northeast
corner of the trailer park.

SONNY: Clear!

YERO: Maria.

(BEEPS)

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

- Sonny: Get out of the car.
- I already called the medic.

Get out!

RICO: Open the door.

Open the door.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

Come on.

You know what gets me?

The prospect of her
losing her life.

Of her losing her life over
this bullshit line of work.

- Is that what she thinks?
- No, it's what I think.

She'd tell me, "Rico, I ain't
playing. This is real."

"Same as you. No less than you."

Yeah.

Hey.

She's in recovery. She has
burns to 15% of her body.

We're gonna keep her totally sedated
with a complete muscle relaxant.

She's in a coma.

And her right lung is
collapsed, burst spleen.

So what's her chances?

The brain swelling
worries us the most.

- CASTILLO: You relieve the pressure?
- Not surgically. It's too diffuse.

And any complication, an
infection, and she's...

She's in bad shape.

YERO: I will recover the load,

but all I know

is we don't have our load.
The Americans have our load.

So I plead with you
to look at this.

Go ahead.

YERO: Do you see this?

This is not casual.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

YERO: You okay? I heard
some bad shit happened

with the crazy whites
at a trailer park.

Cut the crap.

You got my product, man.

- You got my money.
- That's right.

- Here's the deal.
- We have a deal.

Here's a new deal, cash money.

Three a ki times 4,000
ki's is 12 mil.

And we ain't waiting
for a back nine.

We had a different deal.

This is the only deal, or else I
offload your shit to some other buyer.

Mail you a refund, maybe.

Okay, man. Let's do this.

And I want you there. None
of your peckerwood proxies.

I'm out of town.

- I'll wait.
- Why?

'Cause if you're there,

guarantees it's for real.

Tomorrow night.

I be there. We call
you with the place.

You got my number.

Yeah, well, follow up with the ME,
identify off the DNA samples.

Yero's coming back to the U.S.
to recover his product.

He's coming back himself.

How do we deal? How
do we do a deal?

I mean, how's anybody gonna
believe anybody after tonight?

Nobody does. He's compelled.

We got his 4,000 ki's, worth
$60 million at wholesale.

That's right.

All right. Now, here's
what's gonna happen.

They will change out the place at the
last minute so we can't set up on them.

And it'll be an L-shaped ambush.

I run it.

I run it.

They won't initiate until
they got eyes on the product.

And I won't let the product come in until
we've got their shooters in our sights

- and you have cover.
- Okay.

I don't care how much
we want this guy.

- Clear?
- Yeah.

What shit have you pulled?

- You know what Jes?s will
do, right? - Yes, I do.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Do you wanna call him?

You're all mine now.

- It's that time.
- Yeah.

RICO: Badges get
flashed, guns come out.

Arrests get made.

That's what we do.

So?

So, fabricated identity
and what's really up

collapses into one frame.

You ready for that on this one?

I absolutely am not.

So, where you at with that?

I'm with her 100%.

She could be a white collar money
manager. She may even be true love.

But she's with them.

Like Trudy would say,

I ain't playing.

ZITO: Time.

Let's do this.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

MAN ON PHONE: I'm on them.
They're clean.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

SONNY: What's up?

The location got changed.

Bojean shipyard,
27th and the river.

CASTILLO: I can't
find the shooters.

Stall.

GINA: Copy that.

- Where's the product?
- Where's the money?

How do I know what you
say is there, is there?

Here's how that works,

somebody from my side
lays eyes on the money.

Only then do we
call in the dope.

Then somebody from your side
can go look at the product.

The money's right here,
so send somebody over.

CASTILLO: Can't
find the shooter.

Where's Yero?

YERO: Right here!

And I brought your friend.
Oye, 'mano, she mine now.

Jes?s gave her to me

to ask questions and find
out interesting things.

We a couple now.

After work, she and me go catch
a movie and grab a bite.

When I get tired,
I throw her away.

Her leg in one place, her
head someplace else.

You guys ever see that?

Anyway, she here now

to make sure
everything go right.

CASTILLO ON RADIO:
Still no shooter.

My guy, show him the money.

I don't want him!

YERO: Why?

- What difference does it make,
Sonny? - Listen to me, asshole,

I do not want that
motherfucker near me.

You wanna see your dope?
You send Isabella.

Or it travels.

Stay here, bitch.

Let her go.

Check the dope,

then come right back.

Got one.

On the container. Hold it.

I got number two.

Port side, third deck, middle
of the superstructure.

Fire.

(MAN YELLING IN SPANISH)

GINA: Go!

ZITO: Go!

SONNY: Go!

GINA: Go!

SONNY: Move it, man.
Run, run, run!

Crockett. I'm on your right.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Get up.

Get up.

Get in. Get in!

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

- Zito?
- Yeah, he's okay.

- What is this?
- It's a house we use.

Gloria? Sonny. Is Frank around?

All right. Just get him
to call me right back.

A man named Frank is
going to come in a boat.

He will run you into
Cayo Sotavento.

And from there, you can
find your way to Havana.

And nobody will follow you.

Including me.

Remember,

I said

time is luck.

Yeah.

Luck ran out.

This was too good to last.

Nurse?
