Miami Vice (1984–1989): Season 2, Episode 17 - French Twist - full transcript

When a known terrorist comes to Miami the team tries to find him. And an Interpol operative comes to assist them. Crockett is taken with her but Tubbs thinks there's something odd about her.

Come on, cutie.

Ready?

Hey, how you doing?
Hi.

You need somebody
to sign for that?

Dr. Roscoe's
gotta sign, buddy.

Dr. Roscoe is not here today.
He's playing golf. I'll sign.

Big skateboard star
doesn't want
his picture taken.

Come on. I told you,
no more pictures.

Come on.

He killed him.
What's wrong?

Cindy, what's wrong?



I've got the proof.

"Torsion Fran?ais" !! :P

Dr. Newman,
please call the operator.

I talked to the
driver's supervisor.

The guy had a perfect record.

Besides, he had
no way of knowing.

The waybill listed the package
as medical supplies.

Medical supplies?

Three keys of
pharmaceutical morphine
that's legal in here...

but you step on it,
put it out on the street...

dude could make
an awful lot of money
with that kind of medicine.

Mr. Blur's looking
to cash in.

He was a real fighter.

I'm sorry.



Yeah.

Great.

Our only witness on Page 1.
A sitting duck.

We got a solid thumb print
off the delivery truck.

Maybe we can get a name.

How you doing?

Terrible.

These pictures
are gonna give me nightmares.

This is a totally
gross bunch of guys.
Yeah.

Thank you. Yes, we will.

Two thousand mug shots later,
nothing.

That was Interpol.
They know who
we're looking for:

Sirat Bandi.

A very high-priced mule.
Moves nothing less than kilos.

Hot off the wire.
Thank you.

Interpol matched
Bandi's thumb print, huh?

Yes.

I think I remember
something about that dude.
Believe me, he's no chump.

Canada had him,
but they couldn't hold on.

They want him back, alive.

He's a material witness
in a capital case.

The man is a professional,
proficient with all weapons.

Extortion, bombings, hits.
He'll do anything for money.

We're gonna have to
watch our witness.
Set her up someplace safe.

Interpol wants Bandi.
They're sending someone
to work with us.

Inspector Danielle Hier.

Bonsoir. The name is Hier.
I have a reservation.

One moment.

Hello. I'm Sonny Crockett.
How nice for you.

Detective Sonny Crockett.

Danielle Hier.

Pleasure.

Where's the girl?

Right. Let's cut
the small talk. After you.

I have your room. Miss Hier?
Hold it for me.

Putting the photo in the paper
was not a wise move.

Well, we didn't put it there.
Talk to the newspaper.

She's safe.
My partner's with her.

Bandi will try to kill her.

So, why doesn't he just
sell the morphine and then
split town, or vice versa?

It is not in his nature
to leave a witness alive.

Pair of cowboys.

Ten to the straight.
Cowboys power.

What's the matter?
You don't believe my straight?

Sure, I believe you.

You got a girlfriend, Rico?

Officially?

Unofficially, I guess
you got about 150.

I wouldn't bet on it.

What about your partner?
God, he is so good-looking.

I guess you have to
ask my partner.

My deal?

Excuse me.

Come on in.

Ricardo Tubbs, say hello to
Inspector Danielle Hier.

Daniel?

Danielle Hier.

I thought--
Yeah. It's happened before.

Smile.

A souvenir for
the happy couple.

Hi, Cindy.
Hi, Sonny.

Listen, you guys go ahead.
Just leave the number
of the restaurant...

so Rico can call you
if I get in any trouble.

Very funny.

You must tell me
everything you saw
at the hospital, Cindy.

I already told
Sonny and Rico.

And now you must tell me. Oui?

Bandi will attack the girl.

Not if he's too high to
pull the trigger. He's got
a lot of factory-tested smack.

He is not a drug addict,
Detective.

You better
check into your room
before they give it away.

You all set?

Yeah, everything's solid.

We'll see you later.
All right.

There's plenty of cold cuts
in the refrigerator.

And don't forget to
wake her up
for her 3:00 feeding.

Get out of here.

It's crazy.

David's all trapped
in that cast. I'm all
trapped in this house.

It's like Romeo and Juliet.

I'm not introducing you to
them, Carol. They're too old,
and you're too young.

No, I don't think Sonny
or Rico are gonna
take you to the prom.

Carol, shut up for a second.

I'm gonna need your help.

Cindy and skateboard,
that's my life.

Now I don't have
anymore skateboard, but....

Well, I guess you're
left with me, lucky guy.

That's me. Mr. Lucky.

Yeah.

Well, I've been thinking.
I got a plan, babe.

Would that plan include me?
Yeah.

See you when I see you.
Night-night.

Switek. Listen, Cindy's gone.

And I think I know
where she went. I'm gonna
need some backup.

Meet me at the hospital.

I am so excited
about this one.

Hey, listen,
good luck, all right?

Thanks, Carol.
Break a leg.

Bye.

I escaped.

I missed you.

Hey, I'm getting this thing
off soon, you know.

Not soon enough.

Cindy!

Rico, I'm okay.
There's nothing
to worry about.

Have you guys met?

You're that Rico dude.
How are you doing?

We're getting
out of here now.

I think he's really mad.
Hey, call me.

Now what we're gonna do is
we're gonna walk
very quickly to that van...

and we're gonna
get in it. You got it?

Rico, don't you think we--
Cindy. You got it?

Yeah.
All right.

Cindy! Over here!
David!

Hi, David.

Cindy! You all right?

Cindy?!

He's on the roof!

David, get back in your room!

Switek!

I'm sorry, Rico.
I messed up, right?

You're gonna be all right.
It hurts!

Better be all right.

Okay. Good.

That's good news.

Very good news.

Right.

Okay, thanks.

Good morning.
That was the hospital.
Cindy's gonna be okay.

Not if your partner
continues to guard her.

You got something to say
about my partner, don't.

The girl is a wild card.

I know. She is also
our connection to Bandi.

We must do whatever we can
to keep her alive.

That hospital room
is like a fortress,
like Fort Knox.

Houdini couldn't
get in there, okay?

It probably
wasn't Tubbs' fault.

I used to be a teenager.

Teenager, huh?

Let's hear your ideas
about Bandi.

I don't know.

Maybe we should be
looking for a guy
that's in the market...

for some Grade A morphine.

Find him, maybe we find Bandi.

Who knows?
We could get lucky.

What does luck
have to do with it?

What the hell's
your problem, lady?

Bandi is my problem.

Yeah, well
you could 'use
some charm lessons.

And are you going
to give them to me?

Yeah, well
you got me! there.

Look, I don't know how
they do it in France,
but in this country...

we try to share information,
work together, work as a team.

You know what I mean?

It's getting late, Crockett.

Yeah.

Right.

Thanks.

Hello.

Oui.

Taking your own
damn sweet time
eating dinner tonight.

Come on.

What's happening?

I got an allergy.

To what?
Crocodiles.

Alligator. Alligator.

What's up?

I checked on the inspector.

You know,
I like to know
who I'm working with.

Well, did you find
any dirt?

Not any that you can see.

You know...

she's been with
Interpol for five years,
made all the right moves.

She's spent time at
Stanford, Oxford,
law school in Berlin.

Did some good work
on major cases.

Her specialty's narcotics.

Yeah, narcotics and hostility.

She's getting to you, huh?

You know,
I've been thinking
about tapping her phone.

You mean you already have.

You and I have been working
too long together.
You know all my moves.

There's something definitely
wrong with her, man.

I just can't put
my finger on it.

Do what you gotta do, Rico.

Play out your hunch.
Just keep me informed.

Cool, man.

Later.

You want more?

I gotta go fishing.

Lieutenant, sir, I just didn't
feel like handcuffing
a young lady to a chair.

I'm not reprimanding you.
I'm stating a fact
for future reference.

Check.

How long was Bandi
in Switzerland
before he went to Spain?

Six months.

I would like to say something
on Tubbs' behalf.

I'm all ears.

You weren't
familiar with Bandi.

The man will do anything
to get what he wants...

and risk everything
to obtain it.

Sounds like some yahoo
with a couple of keys.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that
you cannot underestimate him.

The report that Bandi was
spotted at the Blue Waters
Hotel has checked out.

We have units
keeping the building
under observation.

I want to make a move on him.

It's probably a trap.

We have visual confirmation
that he's in his room.

Bandi is angry
because he missed
killing the girl.

He is never seen
unless he wants to be seen.

It's a lead
we have to check out.

Don't underestimate him.

Come on. Let's nail this jerk.

Could be a trap. Be careful.

Set up!

Sorry. Did we wake you?

You all right?

No, I'm not all right.

We haven't seen him.
We're still waiting.

When you do, it would be
in your best interest
to contact me.

I know someone who could
help you move
the merchandise. Fast.

Well, we hear from him,
we'll give you a call.

Right.
How about a refill?

Bonsoir.
Who's this?

It was very nice meeting you.

You haven't been telling me
everything you know, have you?

No games. Straight talk.

What the hell's going on?

You knew what was coming down,
didn't you?

An educated guess, Crockett.
I tried to warn you.

Well, you could have damn well
been a little more emphatic.

And you could have listened
a little bit better.

We're getting nowhere.

Nowhere.

Those two men
I was talking with
downstairs...

they're in the
morphine business.

They have dealt
with Bandi before.

I'm sure he will contact them.

And when he does...

they will call us.

Give me
a little time, Crockett.

Maybe I'm not used to
working as a team.

Maybe you're not
a team player.

Cut the small talk, Crockett.

Isn't it time to
cut the small talk, Crockett?

I say we contact
Bandi's friends
before he does.

Bandi lives for the deal,
the adrenalin.

All we have to do
is hang the deal
in front of his face...

and watch his mouth water.

Make him come to us.

Inspector.

Come on, Crockett.

Danielle.
Oui?

You have told me
everything, right?

You're joking?

Hello?

What's happening?

Danielle's been talking
to a guy in Paris.

His name is Zolan.

And?

He's a big shot in Interpol.

Checks out squeaky clean.

Bandi's a priority
for this dude.

Gee, that's nice to know.

Yeah.

Enjoy.

How is your friend Tubbs?

Tubbs is great.

You want another favor, Rico?

Have I told you
how beautiful you look today?

Or what a great cop
I think you are?

Cut to the chase, Rico.

The picture you ran...

the check went through
for police agencies, right?

Yeah. Checked out right.

Well, try it the other way.

Try her as a criminal.

See if she's wanted.

I'd appreciate it.

Detective Crockett
has persuaded the buyers...

to work with Bandi under
supervised circumstances.

Bandi has been furnished
with a telephone number.

It rings at Metro.

Inspector, the two buyers,
Sullivan and Lipton....

Intelligence from
my office in Paris.

Yeah.

Let me know the next time
you get a tip
before you act on it.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Thank you.

I'm not sure I wanna do this.
Well, I'm positive
you wanna do it.

You have to disconnect
yourself from Bandi
in a hurry, pal.

You don't know Bandi.

Maybe you didn't
hear me the first time.

He killed the driver
and shot that
17-year-old girl.

Besides, if you
don't work with us...

I'm gonna clear my desk
of all my other cases...

and make your life
one living hell.

We dropped your number
on Bandi. You can
take it from here.

We need your voice.

When the bell rings,
you're on.

You a guest of the hotel, sir?

I'm thinking about it.

If you could
park this car
in a safe place...

I'd certainly appreciate it.

Hello?
Good morning.

Are you ready?

If you are.
If you have the merchandise.

Is it as represented?

Don't you read the papers?

Hello?

Hello.

Are you there?

Excuse me for a minute.

What is it?

It's Chuck, sir.

You asked me to tell you
if anyone was looking for you.

What?
A black guy.

He talked to the manager
and showed him a photo
that looked like you.

No!

Auuugh!!

Miami Vice.

Put your hands
where I can see them.

Tubbs?

Tubbs.

Hello?

You got a tip?
Guess where.

Danielle got a call
from her boss man Zolan.

He told her
where he thought
Bandi might be.

Hotel and room number.

It's your call, man.

This is where he gets stabbed.

No!

I'll fast forward it.

Miami Vice.

Swi, turn that off.

Put your hands
where I can see them.

Tubbs...

may I see you in my office?

It scares me a little bit,
Lieutenant...

that we're working
with Danielle.

If she is bad,
we better find out
real fast...

or our lives
are in maximum danger.

She's a cop. She'll get
her chance to explain.

Tubbs.
Yeah? I know.
No more Lone Ranger.

Bandi will call back.
I told you,
he lives for the deal.

What do you live for?

You've got a problem?

They told you where Bandi was,
and you didn't tell us.

You put a bug on my telephone.

It's not that complicated,
Crockett.

You knew where he was,
and you didn't talk to us!

You didn't talk to us!
We had a tip.
There's a difference.

Besides, we had already agreed
on a plan of action.

We were letting Bandi
come to us.
This was your idea.

Zolan did not tell me to go
to the hotel to get Bandi.

You did it!
You almost got blown up!

I didn't want you
to get blown up, Crockett.

I'm touched.

If Bandi calls back tomorrow,
it's gonna be a long day.

I suggest we take
a rain check.

It isn't raining.

I was hoping you would be
someone else.

Your partner.

You're messing
with my best friend,
and I don't like it.

What do you want me to do?
Make him not like me?

I think you're
a bad dream, baby.

I just wanna wake up
and find you gone.

What if I don't want
to be gone, Rico?

That's easy.

I know what you are.

If you don't split,
I'll have every newspaper,
every wire service...

on your case so fast
you won't know where to look.

You'll be out
in the cold, baby,
with no place warm in sight.

Have a nice trip home.

What happens to us
if Bandi doesn't call?

For your sake,
you better hope he does.

Hello?

Jackson Park. 10:00.
By the waterfront.

If he sees anybody
but Sullivan at the park,
we'll lose him.

Make sure of your positions
and make sure you can talk
to each other.

Sullivan's a civilian,
so protect him.

I don't like it,
but Bandi's not gonna go
for a decoy.

Okay, yeah. Thanks.
Leave a message, please.

Hi.

Trudy ran Danielle
for international warrants.

This came back
from New Zealand.

She's wanted?
Terrorist.

Remember
the Greenpeace boat...

that got blown up
in a New Zealand harbor
last year?

Yeah, Greenpeace
wanted to stop
French nuclear testing.

Yeah.

Somebody stopped Greenpeace
real quick.

One guy died
in the explosion.

Those two guys right there
have been made
for French spooks.

Deuxi?me Bureau.

I figure Danielle
was the same...

a heavy, heavy spook, man.

Interpol's just her cover.

She could have been
one of their assassins.

Where is she?

I paid her a visit.

I told her I knew.

She doesn't want her
cover blown...

so I figure she's on her way
back to somewhere.

The thing I can't figure out,
though, is why.

And what would the French CIA
want with Bandi?

Bandi's turned.

He's got too many skeletons,
and they want him dead.

I'm sorry, man.

I've got two minutes past
rendezvous time.
What do you got, Gina?

Am I fast?

You really want me
to answer that, Larry?

Come on, dude.
Keep it together.

Heads up.
This could be our guy.

The money?

Yes. The merchandise?

Right here.

Jet!

You okay?

I think so.
Good. Stay that way.

Danielle!

He's dead.

Why did you kill him?

He had a big mouth.

He did some work for us
a few years ago.

I don't need this anymore.

You are a nightmare.

You have a big mouth, Tubbs.
You told me so yourself.

I'm going to leave this gun
in Bandi's hand
with one less bullet.

I've got to get away clean.
