Miami Vice (1984–1989): Season 2, Episode 3 - Out Where the Buses Don't Run - full transcript
Crockett and Tubbs stake out a drug dealer, an investigation that is being helped along by an ex-cop that seems to know a bit too much about the case.
I just wanna stop
and thank you, Lord.
I just want to stop.
Thank you, Lord!
It looks like
Manuel's getting faster.
Skating on nose candy
doesn't exactly
slow you down.
There's the customers.
And now, as my children
go out amongst you...
that you may give of yourself
to the Lord...
and receive a blessing
from the Lord.
God has a blessing for you.
And he's gonna give us
a blessing today.
Go, children!
Go, and receive
the blessings of the Lord!
It looks like Manuel's
not the only one...
in the
sales department today.
Now, now, now. Let us pray
for a better world!
And let us pray
for a righteous world!
Think that's his last chance
to get saved?
Sonny?
Manuel doesn't know
we're watching, right?
No, man.
We're good at this.
What I mean is, if we were
being watched...
would we feel weird?
You mean, like a
sixth sense kind of thing?
Forget it.
Store's open, Rico.
Not now, folks.
Not now.
There's no time
like the present
for a relationship...
with your Lord,
Jesus Christ.
Get to know Him.
You can't get
to heaven--
If you don't beat it, pal,
you might get to heaven
right now!
Have a nice day.
A world that is free
from the nightmare
of drug abuse!
A world of peace
and tranquility!
Freeze! Watch out!
Wrong way to go, Skates.
You're not gonna
bust me, Crockett.
You scum! You damn scum!
Okay, lady! Okay!
He's scum!
Back up, lady!
He threatened my life!
One of God's creatures.
Nice work with the Book.
Amen, brother. Amen.
Lieutenant...
we got absolutely nothing with
this Manuel "Skates" Santino.
I say we put a tap
on his phone and see who else
shows up at the party.
Good morning, guys.
Check it out.
I think Skates takes a better
picture than you guys.
Gotta admit, Sonny,
you got style.
Who are you?
Hank Weldon.
How'd you get in here?
I walked in.
Good security.
Hey, Crockett, here's
a good one of you.
What's this all about?
What's the world coming to?
You guys won't even
shake my hand.
Okay, okay! So I'm retired.
I used to be a detective
with Miami Vice.
I guess that counts
for nothing around here.
Wait a minute.
I remember you.
You're Hank Weldon.
I used to hear about you
when I was coming up.
This guy's a hell of a cop.
Sonny Crockett.
Pleased to meet you.
My partner, Rico Tubbs.
Rico, pleased to meet you.
Yeah.
Come on, Lieutenant,
put her there
for a retired old cop.
You guys aren't interested
in Manuel "Skates" Santino,
either. Am I right?
You're interested
in Freddie Constanza.
You know Manuel's
on the bottom.
All right,
concession point here,
you got Skates...
which means
you got nothing.
Skates is stupid, but he's not
stupid enough to give you
the guy above him...
because he'd rather do
a hard 18 months
than be dead...
and that's his choice.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Been wrong before.
Continue, Mr. Weldon.
Constanza's not
who you're looking for.
You're looking
for Mr. Tony Arcaro.
Mr. Founding Father of cocaine
in Miami.
Mr. Started-the-Business
in 1962.
The invisible man.
He's pulling
Constanza's strings.
Yes siree. I tell you,
if I got a hobby,
Tony Arcaro's it.
Can you step outside
for just a little bit?
Sure.
Coffee?
Well?
I think Crockett may have
a genuine sixth sense.
What?
Nothing.
You know, this guy's acting
a little off the wall...
but I heard
he's one hell of a cop.
He may be out there
where the buses don't run...
but the information
is correct.
No kidding.
Tony Arcaro's dead.
So is Jimmy Hoffa.
Haven't found
his body, either.
Check him out.
Yes?
Gina, see that guy
out there...
with the purple
Hawaiian shirt on?
Absolutely.
I want you to pull his jacket.
I'd love to.
What a good idea.
His name is Henry Weldon.
W-E-L-D-O-N.
File number 78-877-129.
A.S.A.P.
I can find it, Tubbs.
This guy is a nut case.
Yeah?
Maybe he even keeps
a pet alligator
at his place of residence.
So, Weldon wants us
to go with him. Take us
on a little guided tour.
Yeah. A field trip.
The history of cocaine
in Miami.
So you think this guy's
gonna lead you
to Freddie Constanza?
Stranger things
have happened.
I got that tape you wanted.
Slap it in there.
Freddie Constanza
and Ray Pinchada...
have been pumping in 15 to 20
kees into our jurisdiction
on a weekly basis...
for at least
the last six months
and we've got nothing.
...and, at the same time...
Carter condemned
both the Chinese actions...
and the recent
Vietnamese strikes
on Cambodia.
Carter also said that
the United States has
urged the Soviet Union...
an ally of--
Okay, yeah, we know that.
What is this,
a history lesson?
And, in local news today,
alleged Miami drug trafficker
Anthony Arcaro...
won a major victory--
February 18th, 1979,
Tony Arcaro was released.
He got in a big black car
and was never seen again.
Maybe he took
a very long ride.
The longest.
Mr. Arcaro, however,
talked to reporters.
Shown here on the
courthouse steps, he said the
dismissal of the indictment...
was a, quote,
"signpost of justice
in America today."
More local news,
and Monday's weather,
when we return.
Well, what do you think?
Do we play follow the wacko
with this guy, Weldon,
or what?
You said he was a great cop.
"Was," being
the key word here.
I don't know.
Go through it again, guys.
See if we can find any reason
why we should go
with this looney tune.
Hey!
What's your problem,
partner?
We go with Weldon,
the worst thing
that could happen...
we just wear a little tread
off those new tires.
I don't like it, Rico.
The more I think about it,
the more I don't like it.
I got a stack of
real cases here, and we're
playing this silly game.
Yeah, but the dude says
that Arcaro is alive.
And you said
that they never found
Hoffa's body, either.
I'm not talking
about Arcaro.
I'm talking about Weldon.
The man has left most of his
groceries at the market, pal.
Maybe. Maybe we'll find out
after tonight.
The Weldon file,
per your request.
Came right after "weirdos"
in the file.
Beautiful. Gina, the next time
you're downtown...
why don't you pull
the archives
on the Arcaro file?
You owe me one, Rico.
Hey, remember,
this nation was
built on credit.
Sure.
Just what I said, man.
This guy was a great cop.
Look at this, commendations
out the ying yang.
Anything else?
Marty Lang.
I heard he was riding
a big Federal desk.
Marty Lang?
Let me ask you something,
Tubbs.
If I flipped out one day and
then showed up years later,
in a dirty Hawaiian shirt...
blabbing about
some guy that's been
dead for years...
and you wanted
to check me out...
who's the first person
you would talk to?
Me.
Lang was Weldon's partner.
Bingo.
Let's take a ride
with Weldon.
Okay.
And we'll hit Marty Lang
in the morning.
Ask us, Hank.
You know, maybe we do want
to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
That was Ray Pinchada
back there,
not Constanza...
and definitely
not Tony Arcaro.
Earth to Crockett.
Earth to Tubbs. I'm giving it
all I got but I can't hold it.
Earth to Crockett
and Tubbs.
Pinchada is
Constanza's lieutenant.
When Tony Arcaro disappeared,
Constanza took over.
Now, Pinchada's got
some ideas, and they don't
include Constanza.
Don't you guys get this?
We're listening.
While you gentlemen were out
window-shopping
for $1, 200 suits...
I learned that
Mr. Frederick Constanza
is lunching tomorrow...
at the Ocean Club
at 1:00 in the PM.
Care to guess the menu?
Hot lead, gentlemen.
Courtesy of
Mr. Ray Pinchada.
On the orders of the
not-as-dead-as-you-think
Mr. Tony Arcaro.
A hit? At the Ocean Club?
"A hit?
At the Ocean Club?"
My friends, a hit
at the Ocean Club
is a very public hit.
A very public warning.
Tony Arcaro was very big
on public warnings.
He still is.
Or would you rather
go for, what's behind
door number three?
Let me ask you something,
Hank.
You can ask, Sonny,
but they no have
to tell you.
Trust me.
Why does the concept of that
make me so nervous?
Crockett, three, 12:30.
Yeah, right. Great.
Nice day, huh?
You had 'em last night,
too, didn't you?
Had what?
Don't lie
to your partner, man.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about
weird dreams about Weldon.
Yeah.
Here, make that last
for two days. You're eating me
out of house and boat.
Mine were in color.
I mean, it's weird.
It's like, a regular
cuckoo's nest.
You dream in color?
Yeah, mostly.
Don't chew up my clothes!
We really appreciate
you taking the time to see us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up?
You were his partner.
Look, I've only been in
this office a couple of weeks.
I gave a secretary
a bunch of pictures.
I told her to put some up.
This was not supposed to be
one of them.
It's a nice bust, Marty.
Hank Weldon.
You want to know
about Hank Weldon?
Why don't you
pull his jacket?
I've got nothing to say.
If you had nothing to say,
the smart thing to do...
would have been to have left
the picture on the wall.
At least until we left.
You wanna talk
about it, Marty?
We pulled his jacket, Marty.
Weldon, Henry.
Miami Vice,
1968 till '79.
Said he was a good cop.
Medals. Commendations.
Your partner quit the force.
Quit?
It says "quit the force"?
Quit. 1 O-4.
You wanna tell us
your version, Marty?
Not a version. The truth.
Can't judge a jacket
by its book.
We're all ears, Marty.
Weldon didn't quit.
He took a medical leave.
Medical leave turned
into medical discharge.
Spent a few years
at some psychiatric lockup
in Lauderdale.
When did he get out?
We met him yesterday.
Don't tell me,
Tony Arcaro is alive and well.
Yeah, I thought so.
Look, you're in a bar.
Some joker comes in,
pours about $5 worth
of quarters into the juke.
Starts pressing J-50
over and over.
J-50. Loves the song, right?
Tony Arcaro
is Hank Weldon's J-50.
Hank was a great cop.
He was brilliant.
This is Martin Jr.
Hank was everything
to the kid. Hank this,
Hank that. Uncle Hank.
What about Arcaro?
Weldon spent about three years
putting this case together
against him.
It was an obsession.
And what can I say?
Arcaro got off.
Walked away on a technicality,
after three years.
Three years.
Just disappeared?
Yeah. Like that.
Constanza had him killed.
I figure
industrial incinerator.
You ever seen one of those
things at work? Bones. Teeth.
Kidney stones. Everything.
Weldon wasn't buying.
More than that, Tubbs.
He snapped.
He snapped so bad that...
his wife, Lorraine,
totally in love
with the man...
moved to another town,
changed her name.
You get it?
Yeah. We get it.
You wanted my opinion?
You've got it.
Now get out.
Sure thing.
I like your desk, Marty.
Did you smell his sweat?
Had a definite panic flavor.
He was holding
something back, Rico.
What, I don't know.
Look who's having himself
a picnic on the hood
of my car!
Hi, fellows.
Meter maid came by.
Wanted to give you a ticket.
I talked her out of it.
Said you'd be right back.
Saved you money.
Hey, thanks a lot,
Hank.
Clam juice?
No.
Off my car.
It's great stuff.
Clean you right out.
So how's Mr. Marty Lang?
Did he say I was,
you know, crazy?
Hmm?
Look, Hank, we're cops,
not social workers.
We gotta go to work.
If you'll excuse us.
So I guess
you don't need me, huh?
I guess Manuel sang
like a bird all night long?
I guess he gave you
the entire Arcaro crew.
Yes, he did.
Get in.
# I fought the law
and the law won #
# I fought the law
and the law won #
# Breakin' rocks

# I fought the law
and the law won ##
Come on, Hank,
stay with the action.
Hold on, Little Luke, Pepino.
I'm a comin'.
You're right, Tubbs.
I should lock this place.
Some perpetrator might steal
all my precious belongings,
Ol WOISe.
Welcome to Chez Weldon, boys.
You live here?
Live here, work here,
eat here, sleep here,
you name it.
Open sesame.
Walk this way, gentlemen.
Boys, I want you
to meet Lorraine.
Please, say hello
to Lorraine.
She's getting sick
of old Hank.
If there's a point to this,
get to it.
Big deal. A computer.
Every 1 2-year-old kid
in Miami has one.
Really?
Like Lorraine?
Yep, that's Freddie Constanza
all right.
Good picture.
Nice labeling.
Wait a second.
Ray Pinchada and friends.
That's Bernie Wingo.
I just saw an outstanding
warrant on him this morning.
Really? What do you suppose...
he's doing talking
to Mr. Ray Pinchada?
Of course,
I could be wrong.
But, I'm not.
Wingo used to retail
lots of Arcaro product
in the old days.
Disappeared pretty much
after....
Gee...
I don't really
remember when.
Do you?
He disappeared
after Arcaro disappeared.
Right. That's right.
I remember now.
So, if he's back, and talking
to Ray Pinchada...
I wonder if that
means anything.
It's something
to think about, maybe.
I agree, too.
Good night, Lorraine.
What's this here?
Is that something to do
with Lorraine?
Hey, don't touch those!
Easy does it, Hank.
We're mellow, Hank.
Mellow?
Well, I'm not mellow!
Tony Arcaro's not mellow!
I want Arcaro!
Are we calm now, Hank?
Lorraine here has more
she hasn't told.
We can have
further conversations
with Lorraine later, Hank.
Now we go to lunch?
Can we? Can we?
Can we go to the Ocean Club
and watch Freddie Constanza
get hit? Can we?
Yeah. You might wanna
do something
about your wardrobe.
Wait person,
I'm waiting for
my raspberry shake.
Young man.
Mr. Rico's reviews appear
in over 300
American newspapers.
And, I must tell you,
he already hates this table.
To tell you the truth, Hank.
I checked this morning,
and I checked
when we came in...
and there is no
Freddie Constanza on
the reservations list today...
for lunch or any other meal.
That's too bad. I guess
this guy must be from...
that new Celebrity Criminal
Look-alike Agency
or something, huh?
Gosh. My mistake.
Sonny, Sonny, Sonny.
Constanza don't
have to show you...
no stinking reservations.
What next, Hank?
What we're waiting for now,
children, is the
proverbial button man.
Shades. Hat, maybe.
Baggy coat. You know,
quick kill, hard ID.
Freeze! Police!
Stand clear!
Stand clear!
Lorraine and I hate to say
we told you so, but....
You're under arrest.
You have the right
to remain silent. If you--
If you refuse that right,
anything you say can and will
be held against you...
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Why?
I don't know.
He's crazy.
We figured he was
on the inside somewhere.
He had to be.
He was a good cop.
Maybe he's a good ex-cop.
That's not something you want
to think about, is it?
He's better than us?
So far, everything
Weldon has said
has come true.
Manuel Santino was
our way to Constanza.
Manuel Santino
didn't want to talk.
Constanza was marked.
Constanza was wasted.
Weldon even has pictures
of Pinchada...
and the previously vanished
Bernard Wingo.
One thing for sure.
If Pinchada is planning
to take over
Constanza's action...
he's got him
right where he wants him.
Yeah. Arcaro-ville.
Dead city.
What about Constanza's
Luncheon companions?
Clean as a whistle.
Typical Bahamian banker types.
Not much to say.
I'm gonna cut
Weldon loose.
Lieutenant, my partner and I
would like to have...
a conversation
with Lorraine. Alone.
Just plug it in, Swi.
Action!
Ooh.
Doggone!
Beat it, Edison.
You said you didn't know
what a floppy disk was.
Yeah, I twisted the truth.
I don't know. Try, "Lorraine."
Try "Goof ball."
Try, "Arcaro."
This thing's
a little weird.
If it's only a little weird,
it definitely won't work.
You can do that?
If Lorraine says
it's all right....
Man squirts alligator,
alligator squirts man.
Knock it off, Hank.
How many more minutes, Dad?
Up to you, kid.
Hank, did you know
a long time ago...
that Tony Arcaro
lived in your building?
Don't "Hank" me, fancy man.
You've been
talking to Lorraine.
Stay away from that woman!
You hear?
Well, I know something
Lorraine doesn't even know.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
I was in the cooler today,
See.
Met a guy, see.
Maybe you know this guy,
see. Dealer.
Stiltsy.
Stiltsy O'Brien?
The guy's a lightweight.
Strictly small-time.
He had a very
big-time lawyer.
He absolutely had to be
released today.
Capisce?
What are we talking here?
A big load coming in today
or what?
Not today. Tomorrow.
Stiltsy had to get out today.
Didn't Lorraine tell you
Stiltsy was one of Wingo's?
She was supposed to.
Lieutenant.
Nice dog.
I think we got
a live one.
It's a big operation.
A last-minute operation.
I wanna make sure
about Weldon.
One question.
Do you believe in him?
Yeah, I do.
My head tells me
he's stone-cold insane.
My gut says
let's go with him on this.
Do it.
I don't think
we're gonna even catch
a good hand tonight.
Swi.
Yes, Lieutenant.
Mr. Promotion.
Do you see anything
out there?
No, I'm looking
at the same thing
you're looking at.
Nothingness. Zero-ness.
Swi.
Right.
You gonna eat the rest
of your sandwich, Lar?
No.
Here, have some dessert, too.
You know, if you ask me,
I think this stake out
is a mis-stake out.
I bet you, you think
that I wish I'd said that,
huh?
Nobody asked you, Switek.
Yeah, Crockett, I know.
Nobody asked me.
I can't wait to see
the look on Tony's face...
when he sees
Mr. Hank Weldon.
First he's gotta
get here, Hank.
How's your
ESP working, son?
You know, it's weird,
but I do feel something.
I mean, I knew he was
watching us that day
in the park.
Didn't I?
You knew someone was.
You guys are starting
to sound crazy.
It's quiet out there.
Too quiet.
Some thing's
happening here.
Got Raymond Pinchada.
Bernie Wingo.
It's looking good.
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Hold your horses, Hank.
We wanna bust 'em
for something more than...
unauthorized use
of a Stiltsville dock.
Out of the blue
of the western sky.
Go.
All right,
cast off the stern line.
Aye, Captain.
freeze! Miami Vice!
Flight's canceled, Ray.
Tony!
You're not Tony! Tony!
Tony! Tony!
It's not Tony!
None of them is Tony!
What am I gonna tell
Lorraine?
Give it up, Hank.
It's all over, man.
What am I gonna tell Lorraine?
Tony!
Yes.
It's all over, Castillo.
It's all over.
What's this about, Weldon?
I'm gonna leave Lorraine.
That woman's
nothing but trouble.
Weldon.
You can't live with 'em,
you can't live without 'em.
Where are you, Weldon?
I'm gone, Castillo.
You won't have
Mr. Hank Weldon
to count on anymore.
I'm telling you,
I am gone. G-O-N-E.
History, babe. Split City,
man. Bye-bye. Like,
So Longsville. forget it.
Come in.
To do your paperwork?
You gotta be crazy.
You know what I think?
I think Lorraine needs
a good talking to...
that's what I think.
Hank!
What a mess.
Why would he
destroy Lorraine?
This wing nut
could be anywhere.
Man!
I wish there was
something we could do.
He led us to Pinchada,
Lieutenant.
He really helped us out.
Yeah, I know.
What do you wanna do
about it?
Maybe we can get him into
some kind of program
or something.
Yeah. What, like that
famous Crazy Cop
Retirement Home?
No joke, man.
We really could use one.
Tubbs, telephone.
Hey, tell 'em....
Take a message, man.
Okay.
But it's your buddy, Weldon.
Says it's real important.
Hank.
Tubbs, I got him, man.
I got Arcaro.
You've got Arcaro?
Hank, where are you?
He's spilling his guts, man.
Confession time.
I thought you guys
might wanna be in on the bust.
Arcaro's with you?
Get the wax out of your ears,
pal. Tony Arcaro is here,
where I am.
Not 75 feet away.
Beige suit, straw hat.
Dollhouse,
middle of the block.
114 South Water.
You and Crockett want in on it
or not?
Go.
114 South Water.
Lieutenant, we're gonna need
some backup.
I know what you're gonna need.
Weldon!
Freeze!
Tired of waiting.
Took him myself.
Miranda-ed him.
The whole drill.
Funny. He's just
a tired old man.
Guess he's kind of relieved
it's over.
He spilled it all.
He's in here.
Say hello to Mr. Arcaro.
There's no one here, Hank.
He's right there.
No siree, Tony!
You're not getting away
this time!
Book him!
Hey, Hank.
Marty, we got him.
Yeah, Hank, we did.
You knew.
You knew
he killed Arcaro.
I helped him build the wall.
He was my partner.
You understand?
You understand?
Yeah.
and thank you, Lord.
I just want to stop.
Thank you, Lord!
It looks like
Manuel's getting faster.
Skating on nose candy
doesn't exactly
slow you down.
There's the customers.
And now, as my children
go out amongst you...
that you may give of yourself
to the Lord...
and receive a blessing
from the Lord.
God has a blessing for you.
And he's gonna give us
a blessing today.
Go, children!
Go, and receive
the blessings of the Lord!
It looks like Manuel's
not the only one...
in the
sales department today.
Now, now, now. Let us pray
for a better world!
And let us pray
for a righteous world!
Think that's his last chance
to get saved?
Sonny?
Manuel doesn't know
we're watching, right?
No, man.
We're good at this.
What I mean is, if we were
being watched...
would we feel weird?
You mean, like a
sixth sense kind of thing?
Forget it.
Store's open, Rico.
Not now, folks.
Not now.
There's no time
like the present
for a relationship...
with your Lord,
Jesus Christ.
Get to know Him.
You can't get
to heaven--
If you don't beat it, pal,
you might get to heaven
right now!
Have a nice day.
A world that is free
from the nightmare
of drug abuse!
A world of peace
and tranquility!
Freeze! Watch out!
Wrong way to go, Skates.
You're not gonna
bust me, Crockett.
You scum! You damn scum!
Okay, lady! Okay!
He's scum!
Back up, lady!
He threatened my life!
One of God's creatures.
Nice work with the Book.
Amen, brother. Amen.
Lieutenant...
we got absolutely nothing with
this Manuel "Skates" Santino.
I say we put a tap
on his phone and see who else
shows up at the party.
Good morning, guys.
Check it out.
I think Skates takes a better
picture than you guys.
Gotta admit, Sonny,
you got style.
Who are you?
Hank Weldon.
How'd you get in here?
I walked in.
Good security.
Hey, Crockett, here's
a good one of you.
What's this all about?
What's the world coming to?
You guys won't even
shake my hand.
Okay, okay! So I'm retired.
I used to be a detective
with Miami Vice.
I guess that counts
for nothing around here.
Wait a minute.
I remember you.
You're Hank Weldon.
I used to hear about you
when I was coming up.
This guy's a hell of a cop.
Sonny Crockett.
Pleased to meet you.
My partner, Rico Tubbs.
Rico, pleased to meet you.
Yeah.
Come on, Lieutenant,
put her there
for a retired old cop.
You guys aren't interested
in Manuel "Skates" Santino,
either. Am I right?
You're interested
in Freddie Constanza.
You know Manuel's
on the bottom.
All right,
concession point here,
you got Skates...
which means
you got nothing.
Skates is stupid, but he's not
stupid enough to give you
the guy above him...
because he'd rather do
a hard 18 months
than be dead...
and that's his choice.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Been wrong before.
Continue, Mr. Weldon.
Constanza's not
who you're looking for.
You're looking
for Mr. Tony Arcaro.
Mr. Founding Father of cocaine
in Miami.
Mr. Started-the-Business
in 1962.
The invisible man.
He's pulling
Constanza's strings.
Yes siree. I tell you,
if I got a hobby,
Tony Arcaro's it.
Can you step outside
for just a little bit?
Sure.
Coffee?
Well?
I think Crockett may have
a genuine sixth sense.
What?
Nothing.
You know, this guy's acting
a little off the wall...
but I heard
he's one hell of a cop.
He may be out there
where the buses don't run...
but the information
is correct.
No kidding.
Tony Arcaro's dead.
So is Jimmy Hoffa.
Haven't found
his body, either.
Check him out.
Yes?
Gina, see that guy
out there...
with the purple
Hawaiian shirt on?
Absolutely.
I want you to pull his jacket.
I'd love to.
What a good idea.
His name is Henry Weldon.
W-E-L-D-O-N.
File number 78-877-129.
A.S.A.P.
I can find it, Tubbs.
This guy is a nut case.
Yeah?
Maybe he even keeps
a pet alligator
at his place of residence.
So, Weldon wants us
to go with him. Take us
on a little guided tour.
Yeah. A field trip.
The history of cocaine
in Miami.
So you think this guy's
gonna lead you
to Freddie Constanza?
Stranger things
have happened.
I got that tape you wanted.
Slap it in there.
Freddie Constanza
and Ray Pinchada...
have been pumping in 15 to 20
kees into our jurisdiction
on a weekly basis...
for at least
the last six months
and we've got nothing.
...and, at the same time...
Carter condemned
both the Chinese actions...
and the recent
Vietnamese strikes
on Cambodia.
Carter also said that
the United States has
urged the Soviet Union...
an ally of--
Okay, yeah, we know that.
What is this,
a history lesson?
And, in local news today,
alleged Miami drug trafficker
Anthony Arcaro...
won a major victory--
February 18th, 1979,
Tony Arcaro was released.
He got in a big black car
and was never seen again.
Maybe he took
a very long ride.
The longest.
Mr. Arcaro, however,
talked to reporters.
Shown here on the
courthouse steps, he said the
dismissal of the indictment...
was a, quote,
"signpost of justice
in America today."
More local news,
and Monday's weather,
when we return.
Well, what do you think?
Do we play follow the wacko
with this guy, Weldon,
or what?
You said he was a great cop.
"Was," being
the key word here.
I don't know.
Go through it again, guys.
See if we can find any reason
why we should go
with this looney tune.
Hey!
What's your problem,
partner?
We go with Weldon,
the worst thing
that could happen...
we just wear a little tread
off those new tires.
I don't like it, Rico.
The more I think about it,
the more I don't like it.
I got a stack of
real cases here, and we're
playing this silly game.
Yeah, but the dude says
that Arcaro is alive.
And you said
that they never found
Hoffa's body, either.
I'm not talking
about Arcaro.
I'm talking about Weldon.
The man has left most of his
groceries at the market, pal.
Maybe. Maybe we'll find out
after tonight.
The Weldon file,
per your request.
Came right after "weirdos"
in the file.
Beautiful. Gina, the next time
you're downtown...
why don't you pull
the archives
on the Arcaro file?
You owe me one, Rico.
Hey, remember,
this nation was
built on credit.
Sure.
Just what I said, man.
This guy was a great cop.
Look at this, commendations
out the ying yang.
Anything else?
Marty Lang.
I heard he was riding
a big Federal desk.
Marty Lang?
Let me ask you something,
Tubbs.
If I flipped out one day and
then showed up years later,
in a dirty Hawaiian shirt...
blabbing about
some guy that's been
dead for years...
and you wanted
to check me out...
who's the first person
you would talk to?
Me.
Lang was Weldon's partner.
Bingo.
Let's take a ride
with Weldon.
Okay.
And we'll hit Marty Lang
in the morning.
Ask us, Hank.
You know, maybe we do want
to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
That was Ray Pinchada
back there,
not Constanza...
and definitely
not Tony Arcaro.
Earth to Crockett.
Earth to Tubbs. I'm giving it
all I got but I can't hold it.
Earth to Crockett
and Tubbs.
Pinchada is
Constanza's lieutenant.
When Tony Arcaro disappeared,
Constanza took over.
Now, Pinchada's got
some ideas, and they don't
include Constanza.
Don't you guys get this?
We're listening.
While you gentlemen were out
window-shopping
for $1, 200 suits...
I learned that
Mr. Frederick Constanza
is lunching tomorrow...
at the Ocean Club
at 1:00 in the PM.
Care to guess the menu?
Hot lead, gentlemen.
Courtesy of
Mr. Ray Pinchada.
On the orders of the
not-as-dead-as-you-think
Mr. Tony Arcaro.
A hit? At the Ocean Club?
"A hit?
At the Ocean Club?"
My friends, a hit
at the Ocean Club
is a very public hit.
A very public warning.
Tony Arcaro was very big
on public warnings.
He still is.
Or would you rather
go for, what's behind
door number three?
Let me ask you something,
Hank.
You can ask, Sonny,
but they no have
to tell you.
Trust me.
Why does the concept of that
make me so nervous?
Crockett, three, 12:30.
Yeah, right. Great.
Nice day, huh?
You had 'em last night,
too, didn't you?
Had what?
Don't lie
to your partner, man.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about
weird dreams about Weldon.
Yeah.
Here, make that last
for two days. You're eating me
out of house and boat.
Mine were in color.
I mean, it's weird.
It's like, a regular
cuckoo's nest.
You dream in color?
Yeah, mostly.
Don't chew up my clothes!
We really appreciate
you taking the time to see us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up?
You were his partner.
Look, I've only been in
this office a couple of weeks.
I gave a secretary
a bunch of pictures.
I told her to put some up.
This was not supposed to be
one of them.
It's a nice bust, Marty.
Hank Weldon.
You want to know
about Hank Weldon?
Why don't you
pull his jacket?
I've got nothing to say.
If you had nothing to say,
the smart thing to do...
would have been to have left
the picture on the wall.
At least until we left.
You wanna talk
about it, Marty?
We pulled his jacket, Marty.
Weldon, Henry.
Miami Vice,
1968 till '79.
Said he was a good cop.
Medals. Commendations.
Your partner quit the force.
Quit?
It says "quit the force"?
Quit. 1 O-4.
You wanna tell us
your version, Marty?
Not a version. The truth.
Can't judge a jacket
by its book.
We're all ears, Marty.
Weldon didn't quit.
He took a medical leave.
Medical leave turned
into medical discharge.
Spent a few years
at some psychiatric lockup
in Lauderdale.
When did he get out?
We met him yesterday.
Don't tell me,
Tony Arcaro is alive and well.
Yeah, I thought so.
Look, you're in a bar.
Some joker comes in,
pours about $5 worth
of quarters into the juke.
Starts pressing J-50
over and over.
J-50. Loves the song, right?
Tony Arcaro
is Hank Weldon's J-50.
Hank was a great cop.
He was brilliant.
This is Martin Jr.
Hank was everything
to the kid. Hank this,
Hank that. Uncle Hank.
What about Arcaro?
Weldon spent about three years
putting this case together
against him.
It was an obsession.
And what can I say?
Arcaro got off.
Walked away on a technicality,
after three years.
Three years.
Just disappeared?
Yeah. Like that.
Constanza had him killed.
I figure
industrial incinerator.
You ever seen one of those
things at work? Bones. Teeth.
Kidney stones. Everything.
Weldon wasn't buying.
More than that, Tubbs.
He snapped.
He snapped so bad that...
his wife, Lorraine,
totally in love
with the man...
moved to another town,
changed her name.
You get it?
Yeah. We get it.
You wanted my opinion?
You've got it.
Now get out.
Sure thing.
I like your desk, Marty.
Did you smell his sweat?
Had a definite panic flavor.
He was holding
something back, Rico.
What, I don't know.
Look who's having himself
a picnic on the hood
of my car!
Hi, fellows.
Meter maid came by.
Wanted to give you a ticket.
I talked her out of it.
Said you'd be right back.
Saved you money.
Hey, thanks a lot,
Hank.
Clam juice?
No.
Off my car.
It's great stuff.
Clean you right out.
So how's Mr. Marty Lang?
Did he say I was,
you know, crazy?
Hmm?
Look, Hank, we're cops,
not social workers.
We gotta go to work.
If you'll excuse us.
So I guess
you don't need me, huh?
I guess Manuel sang
like a bird all night long?
I guess he gave you
the entire Arcaro crew.
Yes, he did.
Get in.
# I fought the law
and the law won #
# I fought the law

# I fought the law

Come on, Hank,
stay with the action.
Hold on, Little Luke, Pepino.
I'm a comin'.
You're right, Tubbs.
I should lock this place.
Some perpetrator might steal
all my precious belongings,
Ol WOISe.
Welcome to Chez Weldon, boys.
You live here?
Live here, work here,
eat here, sleep here,
you name it.
Open sesame.
Walk this way, gentlemen.
Boys, I want you
to meet Lorraine.
Please, say hello
to Lorraine.
She's getting sick
of old Hank.
If there's a point to this,
get to it.
Big deal. A computer.
Every 1 2-year-old kid
in Miami has one.
Really?
Like Lorraine?
Yep, that's Freddie Constanza
all right.
Good picture.
Nice labeling.
Wait a second.
Ray Pinchada and friends.
That's Bernie Wingo.
I just saw an outstanding
warrant on him this morning.
Really? What do you suppose...
he's doing talking
to Mr. Ray Pinchada?
Of course,
I could be wrong.
But, I'm not.
Wingo used to retail
lots of Arcaro product
in the old days.
Disappeared pretty much
after....
Gee...
I don't really
remember when.
Do you?
He disappeared
after Arcaro disappeared.
Right. That's right.
I remember now.
So, if he's back, and talking
to Ray Pinchada...
I wonder if that
means anything.
It's something
to think about, maybe.
I agree, too.
Good night, Lorraine.
What's this here?
Is that something to do
with Lorraine?
Hey, don't touch those!
Easy does it, Hank.
We're mellow, Hank.
Mellow?
Well, I'm not mellow!
Tony Arcaro's not mellow!
I want Arcaro!
Are we calm now, Hank?
Lorraine here has more
she hasn't told.
We can have
further conversations
with Lorraine later, Hank.
Now we go to lunch?
Can we? Can we?
Can we go to the Ocean Club
and watch Freddie Constanza
get hit? Can we?
Yeah. You might wanna
do something
about your wardrobe.
Wait person,
I'm waiting for
my raspberry shake.
Young man.
Mr. Rico's reviews appear
in over 300
American newspapers.
And, I must tell you,
he already hates this table.
To tell you the truth, Hank.
I checked this morning,
and I checked
when we came in...
and there is no
Freddie Constanza on
the reservations list today...
for lunch or any other meal.
That's too bad. I guess
this guy must be from...
that new Celebrity Criminal
Look-alike Agency
or something, huh?
Gosh. My mistake.
Sonny, Sonny, Sonny.
Constanza don't
have to show you...
no stinking reservations.
What next, Hank?
What we're waiting for now,
children, is the
proverbial button man.
Shades. Hat, maybe.
Baggy coat. You know,
quick kill, hard ID.
Freeze! Police!
Stand clear!
Stand clear!
Lorraine and I hate to say
we told you so, but....
You're under arrest.
You have the right
to remain silent. If you--
If you refuse that right,
anything you say can and will
be held against you...
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Why?
I don't know.
He's crazy.
We figured he was
on the inside somewhere.
He had to be.
He was a good cop.
Maybe he's a good ex-cop.
That's not something you want
to think about, is it?
He's better than us?
So far, everything
Weldon has said
has come true.
Manuel Santino was
our way to Constanza.
Manuel Santino
didn't want to talk.
Constanza was marked.
Constanza was wasted.
Weldon even has pictures
of Pinchada...
and the previously vanished
Bernard Wingo.
One thing for sure.
If Pinchada is planning
to take over
Constanza's action...
he's got him
right where he wants him.
Yeah. Arcaro-ville.
Dead city.
What about Constanza's
Luncheon companions?
Clean as a whistle.
Typical Bahamian banker types.
Not much to say.
I'm gonna cut
Weldon loose.
Lieutenant, my partner and I
would like to have...
a conversation
with Lorraine. Alone.
Just plug it in, Swi.
Action!
Ooh.
Doggone!
Beat it, Edison.
You said you didn't know
what a floppy disk was.
Yeah, I twisted the truth.
I don't know. Try, "Lorraine."
Try "Goof ball."
Try, "Arcaro."
This thing's
a little weird.
If it's only a little weird,
it definitely won't work.
You can do that?
If Lorraine says
it's all right....
Man squirts alligator,
alligator squirts man.
Knock it off, Hank.
How many more minutes, Dad?
Up to you, kid.
Hank, did you know
a long time ago...
that Tony Arcaro
lived in your building?
Don't "Hank" me, fancy man.
You've been
talking to Lorraine.
Stay away from that woman!
You hear?
Well, I know something
Lorraine doesn't even know.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
I was in the cooler today,
See.
Met a guy, see.
Maybe you know this guy,
see. Dealer.
Stiltsy.
Stiltsy O'Brien?
The guy's a lightweight.
Strictly small-time.
He had a very
big-time lawyer.
He absolutely had to be
released today.
Capisce?
What are we talking here?
A big load coming in today
or what?
Not today. Tomorrow.
Stiltsy had to get out today.
Didn't Lorraine tell you
Stiltsy was one of Wingo's?
She was supposed to.
Lieutenant.
Nice dog.
I think we got
a live one.
It's a big operation.
A last-minute operation.
I wanna make sure
about Weldon.
One question.
Do you believe in him?
Yeah, I do.
My head tells me
he's stone-cold insane.
My gut says
let's go with him on this.
Do it.
I don't think
we're gonna even catch
a good hand tonight.
Swi.
Yes, Lieutenant.
Mr. Promotion.
Do you see anything
out there?
No, I'm looking
at the same thing
you're looking at.
Nothingness. Zero-ness.
Swi.
Right.
You gonna eat the rest
of your sandwich, Lar?
No.
Here, have some dessert, too.
You know, if you ask me,
I think this stake out
is a mis-stake out.
I bet you, you think
that I wish I'd said that,
huh?
Nobody asked you, Switek.
Yeah, Crockett, I know.
Nobody asked me.
I can't wait to see
the look on Tony's face...
when he sees
Mr. Hank Weldon.
First he's gotta
get here, Hank.
How's your
ESP working, son?
You know, it's weird,
but I do feel something.
I mean, I knew he was
watching us that day
in the park.
Didn't I?
You knew someone was.
You guys are starting
to sound crazy.
It's quiet out there.
Too quiet.
Some thing's
happening here.
Got Raymond Pinchada.
Bernie Wingo.
It's looking good.
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Hold your horses, Hank.
We wanna bust 'em
for something more than...
unauthorized use
of a Stiltsville dock.
Out of the blue
of the western sky.
Go.
All right,
cast off the stern line.
Aye, Captain.
freeze! Miami Vice!
Flight's canceled, Ray.
Tony!
You're not Tony! Tony!
Tony! Tony!
It's not Tony!
None of them is Tony!
What am I gonna tell
Lorraine?
Give it up, Hank.
It's all over, man.
What am I gonna tell Lorraine?
Tony!
Yes.
It's all over, Castillo.
It's all over.
What's this about, Weldon?
I'm gonna leave Lorraine.
That woman's
nothing but trouble.
Weldon.
You can't live with 'em,
you can't live without 'em.
Where are you, Weldon?
I'm gone, Castillo.
You won't have
Mr. Hank Weldon
to count on anymore.
I'm telling you,
I am gone. G-O-N-E.
History, babe. Split City,
man. Bye-bye. Like,
So Longsville. forget it.
Come in.
To do your paperwork?
You gotta be crazy.
You know what I think?
I think Lorraine needs
a good talking to...
that's what I think.
Hank!
What a mess.
Why would he
destroy Lorraine?
This wing nut
could be anywhere.
Man!
I wish there was
something we could do.
He led us to Pinchada,
Lieutenant.
He really helped us out.
Yeah, I know.
What do you wanna do
about it?
Maybe we can get him into
some kind of program
or something.
Yeah. What, like that
famous Crazy Cop
Retirement Home?
No joke, man.
We really could use one.
Tubbs, telephone.
Hey, tell 'em....
Take a message, man.
Okay.
But it's your buddy, Weldon.
Says it's real important.
Hank.
Tubbs, I got him, man.
I got Arcaro.
You've got Arcaro?
Hank, where are you?
He's spilling his guts, man.
Confession time.
I thought you guys
might wanna be in on the bust.
Arcaro's with you?
Get the wax out of your ears,
pal. Tony Arcaro is here,
where I am.
Not 75 feet away.
Beige suit, straw hat.
Dollhouse,
middle of the block.
114 South Water.
You and Crockett want in on it
or not?
Go.
114 South Water.
Lieutenant, we're gonna need
some backup.
I know what you're gonna need.
Weldon!
Freeze!
Tired of waiting.
Took him myself.
Miranda-ed him.
The whole drill.
Funny. He's just
a tired old man.
Guess he's kind of relieved
it's over.
He spilled it all.
He's in here.
Say hello to Mr. Arcaro.
There's no one here, Hank.
He's right there.
No siree, Tony!
You're not getting away
this time!
Book him!
Hey, Hank.
Marty, we got him.
Yeah, Hank, we did.
You knew.
You knew
he killed Arcaro.
I helped him build the wall.
He was my partner.
You understand?
You understand?
Yeah.
