Miami Vice (1984–1989): Season 1, Episode 17 - The Maze - full transcript

[ Man ]
So I said to the guy-- Right?
''Either you connect me to the source,

or I start playing
jai alai with your head. ''

Nice guy, huh?
So the guy takes off
like a bat out of hell.

But I nailed the guy.
Man, I grabbed him and threw--

Hey. Easy. Easy.
Okay, okay.

Hey, easy. You ever hear of
the Miranda act, or is that just
another Latin dancer to you?

Hey. I mean, with--
[ Chuckling ]

With the Syndicate squeeze
you guys got around here,
an actual arrest is cause for celebration.

Oh, man.
Come on.

Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire.
You got it. That way
everybody gets burned.

You give this guy
a couple more Cuba libres,
he'll start in on the courts next.



Hey. Look, I just happen to believe
there's a better way of doing things.

Well, there is a better way.
But it starts at the grassroots level, pal.

Look at this neighborhood.
Six months ago, it was a war zone.

- Now look at it.
- Yeah. Yeah, you guys came in
and cleaned the town up.

Okay, wise guy.

No, Tim. The people--
they did it themselves.

Neighborhood Watch programs,

community cooperation,
small businesses helpin' each other.

You know, a little pride
goes a long way, Duryea.

Ah. I should have brought my violin.

No. I-- I told you I forgot something.
I forgot-- I forgot my violin.

- He's your partner, Dickey.
- All right. Come on! Hey!
Come on, you guys!

Lighten up. You are too intense.
Look at these eyes.
[ Crockett ] Hey.

Get your hands
off my car, you nut.



Hey. I didn't realize
that was your car.
[ Glass Shattering ]

Hey!

[ Yelling ]

Shut up!
I said shut up!

- I said shut up!
- Maybe next time we come to you,
you treat us with a little more respect.

Raul.

Duryea! He's got a gun!

[ Gunshot ]

Throw me a gun.
I'll cover ya!

[ Machine Gun Firing ]

[ Hurried Footsteps Passing ]

[ Gun Cocking ]

Crockett.

They shot Dickey.

He's dead.

[ Phone Ringing ]

That turkey's responsible
for the death of a good cop.

We gotta let him just sit out there
as if nothin' happened.

I filed my report.
That's all I can do.
Homicide wants our help on this.

Store owner wouldn't talk.
Neither would anyone else
in the neighborhood.

The Escobars?
These punks.

They can't even get out of
their own way. Strictly small-fry.

Not anymore.
[ Crockett ]
As I recall,

the Escobars have a coke sheet
that goes back...

four years that I know of.

I thought those guys were
in detention up in Marianna.

Somebody want to
check that out? Trudy.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Nah.

Luigi. You better tell me.
Have you seen the Escobars?
No, I haven't.

Huh? You sure?
Sure.

You still stealin'jewelry?
No.

All right.
What are you doin' out of school?

Whoo!

[ Laughing ]

Deney Terrio,
eat your heart out.

Not now, man.
My feet are on fire. Whoo!

Oh, we can fix that.

Hey, man.

These are my dress shoes.

Have the Escobars
buy you a new pair.

Pepe.

You gonna talk to us, pal,
or do I have to extinguish
your whole suit?

####[ Continues ]
[ Tubbs ]
Fleet feet.

[ Crockett ]
Uh-oh. Telltale two-tones.

Anybody home?

We could, uh, flush him out.

- Give me a break.
- Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

Pepe.

We're looking for the Escobars.

- Chill out.
- I don't run with those punks anymore.

You guys know that.

You still sellin' your services
to car alarm companies?

You bet. Security consultant,
50 bucks an hour.

If I can't get in,
nobody can.

Hey, I'm thinking about incorporating.

First, think about the Escobars.

What do you guys
want with them anyway?

They're punks. That's all.

They've graduated, Pepe.

Last night they became cop killers.

- Where they holed up?
- In a place called the Maze.

- You got an address?
- You can't get the Escobars
out of the Maze.

It's a labyrinth, man.

And you'll need a whole army.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]
You want some lunch?

What are you doin'?

I'm pitchin'.
Can't you see that I'm pitchin'?

Sorry.
Would you like to have
a little lunch?

[ Crockett On Radio ]
Zito, this is Crockett.

Yeah. Switek. Go.

We think the guys
that killed a cop
are at 721 2 San Domingo.

The guy that owns it
is Jim Bostwick.

He's got an office
in the Americana Bank Building.

Get over there right away
and get as much about
the building as you can.

We'll be there in 1 0. Q.S.L.

I guess we'll eat on the way.
Let's go.

[ Crockett ]
Place could be loaded
with entire families.

[ Man ]
Day of reckoning, pal.

Humiliation looms.
My handicap's edging on 1 2.

Well, I beat you last week.

I'll see what happens.

Rental information's down the hall.

So, Saturday, 7:00 a.m.,
we tee off. It'll be?

I'm gonna have to
talk to you later,Jimbo.

Vice? This must be a mistake.

I pay people with green stuff,
not white stuff.

Mr. Bostwick, are you familiar with
the situation at your building...

on San Domingo?

721 2 San Domingo.

City planning says that, uh,
you're the owner of record.

We're gonna need a comprehensive
blueprint of the building.

Now.
I got a lunch date now.

But I'll put my secretary
on it right away.

I think it's pretty safe to say...
[ Phone Clatters In Cradle ]

lunch is a wash,
wouldn't you?

I do.

[ Castillo ]
The rear exit's bolted up.

We'd make too much noise
trying to force it open,

so the front door is
the only logical way in.

[ Crockett ]
What about the squatters?

[ Duryea ]
Just kick the door down
and tell 'em to duck.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this year's Nobel Peace Prize
goes to Tim Duryea.

Excuse me, Crockett,
but these punks
gunned down my partner.

You wanna sit this one out,
Detective?

No, sir.

We'll send a man in
to evacuate them.

Someone who speaks their language.

And can do it quietly.

You have someone
in mind, Lieutenant?

[ Man ]
You give me no respect, man.

You don't really own this building.
You don't tell me what to do.

Throwing the garbage
out of the window?
What do you want me to do?

Live in it like your family?
No. You do not
talk about my family.

[ Chattering ]

[ Chattering Angrily ]

[Jamaican Accent ]
I just pulled in from
the island yesterday, man.

I got no place.
You're not welcome here.

But this is a big place, man.
Please.

What the hell is taking him so long?

This is ridiculous.

Duryea!
No one fire.
Tactical people in now.

Raul.

We got cops everywhere, man.

That's cool.

Tubbs, Miami Vice.

Hey. You guys are
blowin' my cover.

What the hell are you
doing here?

Back off, or these people die.

Like now!

Hey.

[ Castillo ]
What's your line of fire?
[ Man ] Northwest corner.

[ Castillo ]
All right. Let's get started.

Listen. That's his partner
in there with the Escobars.

I'll talk to him.

Detective Crockett,
your partner got a gun?

Who are you?
I'm the man in charge of this mess.

He's got a .38 strapped to his ankle.
He ever been in a situation
like this before?

He knows how to handle himself.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'm glad somebody does.

I thought Tubbs might have
run into trouble!
You were hotdogging.

Listen. Crockett, they already
killed my partner, man.
I just didn't want to lose yours.

Could have fooled me, pal.

If I didn't need every available body,

I'd send you home, Detective.

As it is, I don't want you to
make any more decisions.

And don't leave this room
till the final assault.

[ Man ]
We can't storm the place.

With all the squatters in there,
and us not knowing where they are,
it would be a bloodbath.

Had to get some air.
Every time I look at Duryea,
I get mad all over again.

It's understandable.

I'm worried about Tubbs.

Everything's under control
for the time being.

Davis seems like a good man.

He is.
He has a lot of experience.

He's gonna need it with these kids.

They've grown up runnin' the streets,
thinkin' they're indestructible,

thinkin' they can
get away with murder.

And you know what?
So far they have.

They stopped being kids
when they started using guns.

So what's next?

As long as everything stays calm,

we'll try to stall 'em.

Maybe get them to release
some of the hostages.

In any case, time's on our side.

Four hours isn't a lot of time,
Lieutenant.

Let's let Davis handle it.

I just wish there was something
I could do for Tubbs.

There is.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Stay cool.

Hey, coconut.
What you lookin' at, huh?

Nothin', man.

Nothin;

####[ Woman Vocalizing ]

Lady, why don't you
just shut the hell up?

## [ Continues ]

You've been drivin' me
crazy with that.

You think she drive you crazy?
She more make crazy me!

- Your wife's got a big mouth.
- Yeah, but at least she keeps it shut.

- Hey!
- [ Baby Cries ]

I said shut up!

[ Baby Crying ]

[ Raul ]
There's something I don't understand.

You people got
all this room back there--

so many that you don't even
have to see each other
if you don't want to--

but you're always fighting over
one little place in the back.

For what?
We were here first.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

- Hey!
- [ Spanish Continues ]

You know, my mother
used to sing that hymn.

Back up!
You back off!.

Everything cool, man
Everything's irie.

[ Davis Over Speaker ]
This is LieutenantJack Davis.

You hear me in there?

[ Baby Crying ]

[ Davis ]
Can you hear me?

You give me everything I tell you,
or these people are dead.

What's on your mind?

We want a helicopter
to take us to the Bahamas,
and we want $1 00,000.

We can get you that.
What are you gonna give us?

Give you?

What guarantee do we have
that you're not gonna kill these people
after we give you what you want?

You have my word.
You have four hours.

[ Davis ]
Show a little good faith in that.

Send out the women
and children now.

No way, man!

Whoo.! Yeah.!

Yeah, right.
[ Laughs ]
You let 'em have it, man.

Right in their fat faces.
Yeah, man. We're on top now.

All right. Listen up.!

I want everybody here to keep quiet.

Except for you.

You're too quiet.

You dumb or somethin'?
I can talk.

Oh.

That's real good.

'Cause that's kind of like a--
an added attraction.

- Get away from my sister.
- Hey, you got a problem, man?

Come on. Make a move.

Come on.
Boy with a gun.

Don't tempt me, man.

[ Davis ]
Escobar.

Talk to me, Escobar.

[ Tubbs ]
Elio's playin' a game, mon.

- [ Tubbs Laughs ]
- Shut up!

[ Crying ]

## The sky turned to black ##

## Would he ever come back ##

## They would climb a high dune ##

## They would pray to the moon ##

##But he'd never return ##

##So the sisters would burn ##

##As their eyes searched the land ##

## With their cups still full of sand ##

## Tea in the Sahara with you ##

## Tea in the Sahara with you ##

## Tea in the Sahara with you ##

## Tea in the Sahara with you ##

####[ Vocalizing ]

## [ Stops ]
Jaime. Get over there.

[ Baby Crying ]

[ Tubbs ]
Georges.

How long you been here, man?

Too damn long.

Since last August.

So, what happened?
No work?

[ Georges ]
Plenty of work.

No card.

Crazy.

Nice necklace.

Huh.

No.

Let go of her!
I'll blow her away.

[ Baby Crying ]

- Where you takin' her, man?
-Just passin' time, bro.

Just passin' time.

Cool out, Georges.

You're no good
to your sister dead.

What are you gonna do? Scream?

Send everything crazy?

You don't want to
get anybody hurt.

[ Baby Crying ]

You don't exist.

Just like me.

So let's party.

- [ Screams ]
No.! Please.!
- Georges!

No.!
[ Screams ]

[ Gunshot ]

What the hell is
the matter with you?

Open it! Go!

All right. Drop him.
I said drop him!

All right. Get inside.
Get inside.

Get inside.

Get inside!

[ Crying ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Crying Continues ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Indistinct ]

[ Crying Stops ]

[ Crying ]

Place is a nightmare.
Thousand places for a shooter
to sit and pick us off as we come in.

We gotta pinpoint exactly where
they're keepin' the hostages.

Hostages are what got us into this fix.

We'll lure them to the roof.
With what?

With a helicopter.

[ Groans ]

Cabra.
You watchin' me?

I'm watching you.
Water's gettin'
deeper and deeper, man.

Already you're in over your head.

[ Davis ]
Escobar.!

He attacked one of my men.
We killed him in self-defense!

I believe you.

Let's pack it in now
before it gets any worse.

Let's not.
We want some food for these kids.

Okay. I got a better idea.

You give us the kids,
and we'll feed them.

No way, man.

The chopper will be here in half an hour.
What difference could it make?

I don't have to bargain with you, man.

Talk to me, Escobar.

[ Baby Crying ]

Let 'em go, Raul, man.
They're just kids.

No, no, man.
Don't give 'em squat.

We're callin' the shots here.

I'm callin' the shots here!

[ Davis ]
Talk to me, Escobar.

[ Baby Crying ]

All right.
They're driving me crazy anyway!

[ Horn Honks ]

It's cuttin' off my blood.

[ Speaking Foreign Language ]

Natty. Natty. Natty.

Check her out, man.
She putting a curse on me?

What, man?
No, man. She's in shock.

Oh. Sure.

That dude had it comin'.
He attacked Elio.

Had no weapon.
What kind of attack?

What if we can get
someone in there?

What are you thinking?

If I can slip inside,
I can pinpoint where
the hostages are.

There's gotta be
some sound coming down.

Yeah, it'd help.
Worth a shot?

I mean, we could send
one of my men.
No.

I want to go.

Raul's my man.

He's gonna get us to the Bahamas.

Don't you have family down here?

- So?
- You can't come back.

You'd be a criminal down here, man.

Tied in to that murder.

I didn't kill nobody.

You be part of a conspiracy, man.

I didn't kill nobody!
Get that, mon?

Jaime.

Don't mess with him.

You'll be drownin'-- soon.

You'll be dead.

[ Chattering ]

[ Chattering Continues ]

I found 'em.

They're in the southeast corner
of the building. The mezzanine level.

I'm right below them
in what looks like a bar.

I found a crawl space
at the back of the building.

Have your men enter there.
Good work.
Come on home.

[ Davis On Radio ]
Move in. Move in.!

[ Davis ]
Sonny, there's no way you can be
anything but backup in an S.R. T. operation.

You better find one,
'cause I'm here, and I'm stayin'.

We haven't got any time
to argue this out.

You're right.
I'll be waitin'.

Everybody up!
Move!

Street's quiet.

All right. Go back in front and keep watch
until you hear the helicopter.
And then meet us in the stairs.

Okay. You're all going
to the roof with us.

Move.

Move!
[ Screams ]

Except Natty.

Natty we maybe kill.

Watch him.

We don't move
until we hear the helicopter.

Jaime.

I got this terrible itch, man.

On my right knee.

Can you come and lift me cuff?

Jaime, please.
Call me for a thing like that, coconut?

They're gonna kill you.

They leave you for that, man.

I don't wanna die with an itch.

You're crazy.

Please.

I'm a cop.
Drop that gun.

Untie me.

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

Where the hell is everybody?
Where's Xavier?

Go getJaime.

Get up. Move, damn it! Now.

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

Nobody's going to the Bahamas.

Nobody.
Jaime, let's go.

Damn.

Go.!

[ Screams ]

Back off, or I'll kill her!

No!

No.

All right. Freeze!
Hey.

No.!
[ Switek ]
What are you doing?

Switek, take the kid.

You're trigger-happy, man.

You don't deserve to be a cop.

Let's go.

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

[ Panting ]

[ Guns Cocking ]

I'm sorry.

[ Sobbing ]
I'm sorry.

[ Sobbing Continues ]
