Miami Vice (1984–1989): Season 2, Episode 4 - The Dutch Oven - full transcript

Show time.

Woody.

Where's the man?

He stays here.
I don't stay
anywhere.

Someone stays,
'cause only one of you
is going back there.

That's your problem.

You never believe anybody.

Now that's a major
character flaw, sweetheart.
You know that?

Hey, wait, he's right here.
You ask him yourself.

What?
Come on.

Help me out. Tell her
we're working late.



Easy, neighbor.

Let's not make this personal.

This is just business.

Inside, please.

What is going on?

It's a rip-off.

We got his blow
and your dough.

That's all we came for.

How we do the rest
is up to you.

I got nothing
in this worth dying.

Good.

Plant your face
on the carpet.

Sonny, I think
we better move.

Stay calm. Tubbs will
let us know.



Let's go.

Your security stinks.

Let's get out
of here.

Freeze! Miami Vice!

How is he?

He's dead, Trudy.

Dead?

Routine buy.

Then the stiff tried
a little hit-and-run.

Zito and Gina grabbed
the money man...

and his friend with the dope
tried to re-enact
the O.K. Corral.

What's your
situation now?

Our cover wasn't blown,
so we should be able
to set up the buy again.

Internal Affairs'
shooting team's gonna
want a report on this.

Yeah.

What kind of fool
would open up
on cops like that?

Want someone to keep
you company?
No.

Just get a hot bath
and a good night's sleep.

I'm cool, guys. Thanks.

Hey, partner.

Thanks.

# In the shadows
of my dreams #

# That empty room I keep #

# for you #

# I can see you lying there #

# And though
you're really far away #

# I can hear you say #

# In a thousand years
from now #

# I would get to you somehow #

# Love is the same #

# And I can wait no longer #

# Love is the same #

# My love can't
get no stronger #

# Love is the same #

# And you know the reason #

# More than any other person #

# In the world #

# Love is the same #

# I have to do without it #

# Love is the same #

# There ain't no doubt
about it #

# Love is the same #

# And you know the reason #

# More than any other person #

# In the world #

# Yeah ##

Okay. No more
sad songs.

It's not the sad songs,
especially the way
you sing them.

They never used
to make you cry.

So how've you been?

Been better.

Champagne?

Give me a bottle of D.P.

I have missed you.

Girl, you do
look great.

It's been hard
not reaching for the phone.

You wanna
sit in later?

No, not tonight.

How have you been?
Mostly pretty good.

There's some songs
I don't sing anymore,
if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I do.

'Cause there are songs
that I don't listen to.

Hey, David.

What you keeping
to yourself over here?

I am Adonis.
Ain't you just?

Excuse me
just a minute.

Yeah, spill a little
in here.

Thanks.

Say, baby, I think we got off
to a bad start before.

I don't think it matters.

Oh, yes, it does.

You see...

I'm not just pretty.

I'm the candy man.

Yeah. Whatever you say.

Yeah, baby, I got me
some serious connections.
Heavyweight.

I been took
for a chump too long.

I'm scraping me some dust
into one pile,
and I'm ready now.

Say, baby, what I'm trying
to tell you is,
I can do for you.

Oh, yes, darling.

I killed a man tonight.

My God.

You wanna talk about it?

There's nothing
to talk about.
I was just doing my job.

I just couldn't face
being alone tonight.

Not tonight.

So when I thought about
who I wanted to be with...

I knew it was you.
Just you.

We should have
never broken up.
I know.

I never felt so good
or been so right
as I was with you.

Since then,
everything else has
been just a sham.

I never stopped
loving you.

You wanna try again?

I don't know.

I'm so tired
of being alone...

but it all just seems
so pointless.

Oh, David,
I feel so bad...

so empty.

I just want you
to hold me.

Please.

It's for you, Sonny.
Official-sounding.

Discard.

I'm just going to the phone,
for Pete's sake.

Discard.

Gin.

What do you mean, "gin"?

23 and gin is 48.

Kings?

What are you, crazy?

This late in the game,
and you're still
holding kings?

Weren't you?

Sonny, the phone.
The man's waiting.

You see, Max,
that's your problem.

That's why none of these guys
will play with you, because
you don't play fair!

A nice boy.
No card sense.

But a nice boy.

Officer Joplin,
is it?

900_ of all cops
never discharge their weapons.

They go about their jobs.
Nobody gets hurt.

Nobody dies.

Then there's the cowboy.

How many shooting hearings
have you had?

Ten?

How many men have died?

Only the bad guys, Gallo.

The bad guys are supposed
to know you're a cop
before you whack them out.

He knew.
How?

We identified ourselves
as police officers.

You know, Crockett here
could be in a blue uniform...

in a Columbus Day parade,
and I wouldn't believe
he was a cop.

From what I understand,
you weren't exactly in
a Class-A uniform yourself.

No, what you did was...

you shagged this guy down
in an alley, and you yell
"police."

Look at it from
the suspect's point of view.

In his position,
what would you have thought?

Remember, he's the one
being chased.
How'd it look to him?

Either way, we just
returned fire.

Under the rules,
that's self-defense.

It's justified.

And I know you'd have
that section memorized.

You're a regular John Wayne!

I'm a street cop, Gallo.

I don't sit on my fat rump
all day like you alpha hotels.

Hey, if you two have
a problem here, can we deal
with it on your own time?

Now, I'd like to just
get through all this
schoolyard crap.

Cut through it
and just tell me.

You're right.

I shouldn't be talking
to Crockett, anyway. You're
the one who capped the guy.

Hey, how many rounds
did you fire?
Four.

How many times was he hit?

Four.

All in the black, at night.
Combat conditions.

The suspect called the play.
He wouldn't let it go down
any other way.

He wouldn't?

Well, who the hell
put him in charge?
You're the cop, he isn't.

You're the one
who makes the decisions,
not the suspect.

I was doing what was necessary
to protect myself
and my partner.

And there were
no options available?

Now you're getting
the picture.

Let me see if I do.

You got this guy plugged up
in an alley.

Backup units
are seconds away...

and you can't chill it down.

Let him see the blues
and reds.

Let him know what he's
up against. Then if
he wants to wage war...

you did everything you could.
School's out.

Tell me, Officer Joplin...

if you had backed off,
would the suspect have
gotten away?

And if you had backed out,
would he be alive now,
or what?

This is bull.

For you to sit there
and tell us what we should
or shouldn't do...

in a dark alley, in the middle
of the night...

with a guy trying to shove
bullets up our nose.

Hold it, Crockett.
What she did was right!

So if you wanna file
formal charges,
then do it.

Because when it comes
to what is and what isn't,
you don't know squat.

Hey, I'm not finished here!

Yeah, well, I am.
Hit the lights when you leave.

You know, I don't know,
I was thinking
maybe I should have--

Trudy, stop it.

All that second-guessing
does is mess up your mind.

It makes for fuzzy thinking,
and that'll get you killed.

Last night you reacted
to the situation.

If you stop to think
for one second, then
you're dead or I'm dead.

Don't listen to those guys.
They weren't there, we were.

There's nothing
you wouldn't have
done differently?

No.

There was one play to make
and you made it.

I want you to take
some time off.

Did I do
something wrong?

Remove yourself
from the routine
and the pressure.

I don't want any
volunteer R and R.

If I did something wrong,
then suspend me.

But that'll make me feel
like I'm guilty. If I didn't,
just let me do my job.

I'm not talking
about right or wrong.

You got to come to grips with
the fact that you killed
another human being.

I'd rather deal with that
here on the job...

not off some place,
hiding.

Sometimes it helps
to be off duty for a while.

I'm all right.

I'm fine.

You and David
back together?
For now.

I thought you were going
right home
and straight to bed.

I couldn't wind down
last night.

Just wanted
to be with somebody,
you know?

I know.

Psst.

Hey.

Come back in an hour.
We're on our lunch break.

Come on, brown sugar.
Be as sweet as you look.

I got $50 for two.

He's not giving us
much choice.

Hot shot, huh?

You got $50
for the two of us.
Is that right, sport?

No...

I want one of you...

to do them.

Let me get this straight.

You want to pay me $50
to have sex with those
children. Is that right?

$60 if I can watch.

Pull in that alley.

See this? Miami Vice,
you low-life scum.

You're under arrest
for pandering, soliciting...

child endangerment,
and whatever else applies.

Trudy.
Spread them!

Hey, what's the matter
with you?

Hi.

Wow.

How do I look?
I've seen worse.

You've been on my mind
all day.
Yeah?

Wanna skip the party?

I wanna show you off.

# Hey, little girl,
you can't go wrong #

# Rocking with
the king of Babylon ##

You all right?
What?

Yeah. Why?
Your jaws, they look
a little tight.

I'd like to walk over there
and bust them.

They should see the real cost
of those party favors.

What are you
talking about?
Them.

I'd like to bust them all.

Don't start that now.
Not here, you're not.

Now here you're my date.
You're here
because I brought you.

These people trust me.

Now if you can't leave
that badge outside,
then let's go.

Then let's go.

All right. I'll just tell
our host we're leaving.
I'll meet you in the front.

Check it out.

Cash, baby.

No cash. Add it
to my tab.

Don't give me that bull, man.

I ain't no credit dentist.

Now you got to pay
to play. You dig?

You owe me, man.

I'm the broker, baby.
I told you
I was tapped in.

Heavy sugar.

Let's go.

Later.

So you're at this party
with this dude--
His name's David.

Oh, yeah,
that's right, David.

And there's a lot of weed
and blow there.

Hell, you can't go to a party
in Miami without tripping
over it.

So?
So there's
this dude dealing.

Serious weight?
I think so.

And?

And I don't know how
to handle this. And I don't
know where to draw the line.

What line is that?

You mean the line between
being on duty and off duty?

The line that marks
that gray area
between being a cop...

and having friends
that use and deal?

Is that the line
you're talking about?
The very one.

Yeah.

The only time
I find that line is
usually when I'm over it.

I don't know, sweetheart.

How do you feel about
calling in some
reinforcements on this?

Thanks.

Is David dirty, or....
Or is it just
his friends?

I don't think so.

I don't know for sure.

How...

serious is it
between you and David?

Serious enough.

I care about the guy.

He's not the kind of guy
we usually meet.

You mean he's not a cop.

No offense, but there are
other people
in the world to date...

besides police officers.
Amen.

Well, it sounds like
this is gonna be in your face
as long as you date him.

It's the people around him.

If it was only that.

I think they use
these parties to distribute.

The dealing's heavier
and the amounts are too large.

One dealer?
Yeah.

A guy named Adonis.

I like that.

I don't. He's one of David's
oldest friends.

He thinks he's big time,
but he's mostly jive.

But he's upwardly mobile,
and he's pretty ruthless.

He's got to be getting
supplied by someone bigger.

What do you wanna do?

I don't know.

First, we find out
what's what...

who's who, and then
we take it from there.

Take it easy.

The candy man, my friends.

Another midnight mission
of mercy.

You insult
our intelligence, Adonis.

Your last payment
was very short.

Back off, Jim. I got
the balance right here.

Lucky for you.
From now on,
we deal with you COD.

I can't deal that way.

That's your problem,
Adonis, my friend.

You got something
on your mind again?

What are you doing
with a friend
like Adonis?

The righteous
cop again.

He's just a kick to have
around, that's all.
'Cause he's a dealer?

Because he's a party.

Look, Trudy, I know
what Adonis is...

and he's not my best friend,
if that's what's
bothering you.

I've got lots of friends,
all kinds of friends.

I'm sorry.

Let's you and me take
a long trip. Anywhere.

We could spend
some time...

and figure out what
we have to do this time
to keep from losing us.

I'd like that.

I could set it up.

Jamaica.

We loved it there.
Yeah, we did.

Yep, we did.

Check it out.

Beautiful.

Just stayed home,
cooked dinner.

Then he asked me
to go to Jamaica.

Alone? What'd you do,
burn the food?

That's great.

What could be bad
about going on a trip?

No, the trip's
not the problem.

It's my job.

What? David and I
have been back together
for a week now...

and already
I'm treating his friends
like suspects.

Being a cop doesn't make
for a normal relationship.

Welcome to the club.

Oh, boy.

Good news.
What?

David's clean.

But Adonis is
definitely connected.

He's approaching
middle-level management...

for Ramon Lopez de Hoyos.

Colombian.
Yeah, a major major.

CENTAC has him for
offing the Guiterrez family.

If we can turn Adonis
and have him
give up his boss...

it could be
a very big bust.

Or a total bust.

David's gonna think
you've been using him.

Don't I know it.

Of course, this is
the best chance
that anybody's ever had.

And with you virtually
on the inside with Adonis.

Hey, listen.

No matter how you call
your play, we'll back you.

Tubbs is right.
We got this guy marked.

Find another way.

But this way's a lock.

Think about it, Trudy.

Adonis.
Hey, baby.

We got to talk.
Yeah, sure.

You see the effect
I have on the ladies.

You start acting crazy
with that girl...

David's gonna put
such a hum in your head...

you'll think
you've been wired
for sound.

Adonis, we got to do
a little business.

David doesn't know.

Well, I ain't
gonna tell, baby.

I know this guy.
He lives on a yacht
at the marina.

His source has dried up.

And if I can make
a quick move, I can get
real well, real fast.

Well, you're talking
my language now.

How much you need?
Three kees.

Three kees.

How do you know this guy?

Yeah, well
not good enough.

Look, baby, I can't be
dealing off the wall.
I know you--

Sometimes I got to do
a lot of things that ain't
nobody's business but my own.

Yeah, I heard that.

You trying to tell me
you're doing this guy?

Well, this a one-time score,
or what?

Look, don't lecture me.
Yeah, I'm gonna hit once
and get off.

Can you deliver or not?

Who you talking to, girl?
Deliver.

Like the U.S. mail.
Hell, yes.
Adonis can deliver.

Question is, can you?

Look, I need the money
up front.
We can go right now.

All right.

Yeah. This is nice.

I like power myself.

You can't always trust
the wind, can you?

So...

Trudy says
that you're looking
for a little taste.

Is that what she says?
Look, don't jive me, man.

I wouldn't be here,
except that I know the lady.

And the lady says
that you're cool.

So, how much do you need?

Three kees.

No problem.

You give me the money
and I'll bring you the
merchandise anywhere you say.

Hold on, slick.

What, do I look like I just
fell off a cabbage truck,
or what?

I'm not about to give you
100,000 dead presidents...

and then wait for you
to show up with the stuff.

Who is this guy? I thought
you said he could deliver.

That's what he told me.
Look, I can deliver, Jack!

I'm just checking you out.

Lot of cops around.

Excuse me, baby,
but this is the nature
of the beast.

So...

when can you
raise the money?

Look, Jack.

I'm ready to buy right now.
Tonight, tomorrow,
but I'm not waiting around.

Okay. Anticipate my return.
I'll be back soon,
real soon.

Cool, dude.

Your boyfriend
better be holding
or there'll be hell to pay.

Yeah, yeah. How long?
No time at all. Trust me.

All right, listen,
when you get it, you call me
and I'll arrange a meet.

Hey, you sure you can
raise the money?

You see this? That means
the money's on the way,
and none too soon.

What's happening, boys?
You got the money, candy man?

I got half of it.
Then you get
half the coke.

Come on.

Looked like he was having
trouble raising the cash.

Doesn't surprise me.
The guy's stretching
himself.

We'll be using the club
to make the switch.

It sounds easy enough.

I don't care
how routine this is.
Stay sharp.

Yes, sir.

Sonny, Trudy.

Internal Affairs came back
with the report
on the shooting.

There's a lot
of cautionary language...

you're both clear.

Listen, I'm gonna take
some time off when
we finish this, Lieutenant.

I made some plans.

Take it now. You won't have to
be in on the arrest of Adonis.

Why would I do that?

Because you're so close
to the case.

Where'd that come from?

Me.

And everyone else concerned.

That's what I get
for opening up
to Crockett.

Crockett's been on your side
since the beginning on this.

So has everyone else.

Yeah, you're all concerned.
I'm all right.

I'd be a lot better off
if everyone stopped worrying
about me and leave me alone.

I wanna see this case
to the end.

You sure?
Positive.

If I drop out now,
Adonis is gonna
turn rabbit...

and this is my job.

Fine.

I did it. But, girl,
it wasn't easy.

What's this?
I couldn't raise enough
to score three kees.

Some folks are gonna pay,
believe me.

So I got to step
on this just a little.

Hey, but what the hell,
he's a Paddy.

He ain't never gonna know
the difference, right?

I hope you're right.

I'm always right, baby.

You know, when I look
in your eyes, I see someone
who's going places.

And I like that.

But you stick with that dude
and you might as well
sign your life away.

The man ain't got no dreams,
you dig? No power.

See, power is giving
people what they want...

and making them realize
they got to
come to you to get it.

But I got a feeling
that you know that...

and you're just using him
same as you're using me.

Maybe you and me can do
a little bit more
than business.

You alone?

Just me and this.
All right.

How pure is it?
Here, you tell me.

Pure enough.

Miami Vice. You're
under arrest. Turn around
and put your hands on the bar.

Baby, you're a cop?

April fool.

Don't do it.
You ain't gonna
shoot me, woman.

I will shoot you.

You sold me out, lady cop.
You ain't gonna fire that gun.

I will shoot you.

Don't do it.

You sold me out,
and I'm gonna take care
of you right now.

You're busted, pal.

Get over!

Bring this down there?

Bring this down there?
Yeah.

Hey, you wanna ride
with us?

Did Adonis roll over?

He's so scared,
he's making up names.

What about Lopez de Hoyos?

He says
he doesn't know him.

He's not gonna
give him up, huh?

It's still a good bust.

Yeah.

What the hell
is going on here?

Take it easy, pal.

I can handle this, Crockett.

You take my trust,
and you turn it
on my friends?

Adonis is not your friend.
No?

Who is? You?

You lied, cheated.

You used me.

I've never known you,
have I?

What do you think I have,
a switch in my head
I can just turn on or off?

You took me to that party,
and you threw it up
in my face.

I brought you, not this
damn police force,
not your damn badge.

I'm a cop!

It's not what I do.
It's what I am.

You got no soul,
no honor.
