"Callie?" "Come on, baby, it's safe." "It's just me." "Charlie." "Another round." "I can dig tropical but this is out of bounds." "Clemente picks the hottest day in the year to come in out of the cold." "Yeah, if he comes." "Oh, he'll come." "Word gets around he's dogging his people out... the only safe place to be, will be with us." "Yeah, it's just the waiting." "I hate the waiting." "I feel like a character in a Beckett play." "Since when do you know Beckett?" "Charlie Beckett down on the corner, the shoeshine." "He writes plays on the side." "Check it out." "She's too conservative for you." "I get these occasional urges for stability in my life." "You need to see someone about that." "Hey, you better quit the eye rap, man, before you strain something." "A strain in the right place never hurt anybody." "As long as it's just a strain." "Well, personally, I'd have her come back after it cools off... so she wouldn't confuse the humidity with my sweat." "Well, you just got to learn to go with the heat, Rico." "It's just like life." "You just got to keep telling yourself, no matter how hot it gets... sooner or later there's a cool breeze coming in." "Should I write that down?" "Used to be I couldn't quite tell what was coming in on it." "What took you so long?" "Hi, I'm Callie." "I'll give you your drink if you tell me your name." "Sonny." "Sonny Burnett." "How was it down by the pool, Callie?" "Lonely, Sonny." "Very lonely." "I hope you don't mind." "I'm burning up." "Is he asleep?" "Tell your friend Sonny to come and get me when he wakes up." "Okay?" "Don't worry." "I'm immune." "I wish I wasn't." "I guess I better register an update with the Lieutenant." "Give him my love." "Yeah, if he looked like that I'd give him mine." "Got a message from Señor Clemente." "I waited all day here for a gofer?" "Don't be a wise guy!" "Señor Clemente is concerned about your security." "What does he want, a note from my mother?" "We're not exactly new at this, pal." "Señor Clemente wants Maria Rojas there when he comes in." " Comprende?" "Maria Rojas?" "I don't get it." "He wants her there." "I must have missed the main event." "Hey!" "Easy!" "Hold it, hold it, pal." "Chill out." "He's with me." "He's with me, man." "Okay, just don't move it, man." "Let's go!" "Hot enough for you?" "Yeah." "It's gonna be a real killer." "Ask if they fixed the air conditioning." ""Maria Roias." "Wife of the late Tony Rojas." ""Accessory to bribery." "Accessory to disbursal of illegal funds." ""Accessory to tax fraud." Nice resume." "Are those arrests or convictions?" "Neither, anymore." "She did a stand-up for a grand jury about two years ago... bought herself a new life." "Maria's a federally protected witness, guys." "I don't think we can touch her." "Organized Crime Task Force in Washington is sending down a consultant." "They're gonna cooperate?" "Yes." "Messenger's gun?" "Nada on the prints." "Put the word out on him." "Might give us a fix on what Clemente's thinking." "The feds are gonna give up somebody they promised to protect?" "Evidently." "Nice bunch of guys." "Oh, man, it's so hot you could fry an egg on my face." "I hope I never get that hungry." "Wait a minute." "That's him." "Excuse me, bartender." "Weren't you the guy at the pool bar yesterday?" "Oh, yeah, the Hardy Boys." "What's your pleasure?" "Give me water on the rocks." "So you guys ever catch that guy you were chasing around the pool yesterday?" "No, we thought you might help us scare him up." "What's it worth to you, anyway?" "Excuse me." "Look, maybe you guys would be better off with a new connection." "I know this dude you might want to talk to-- There's only one issue." "Do you know this dude we saw yesterday?" "Hey, do I look like the kind of guy that hangs with that kind of maggot low-life?" "Remember me?" "Please, just leave me alone." "Maybe I can help." "If he sees me talking to you... it will just make things worse." "Husband?" "Boyfriend?" "Look, I told you to leave it alone." "You also told me to come and get you when I woke up." "I say a lot of things." "Write it off to the heat." "Okay?" "Sounds thin, Callie." "Real thin." "What's your game?" "This is no game, Sonny." "C'est ma vie." "I've got a bad husband." "I've got a bad marriage." "If it wasn't so boring I'll tell it to you." "You got legs." "You could walk." "Yes, I could walk." "But walk where?" "Where would I go?" "You don't have family or friends?" "No, I have nothing here." "You know how bad it feels when you wake up and realize you have nothing?" "You feel so lost." "Oh, God." "We all get into... free-fall, Callie." "You just got to ride it out." "First thing to do is get away." "I've tried that before." "He won't ever let me go." "I'll help." "Why?" "Do I have a choice?" "You own this place?" "Some people I work with own it." "They let me use it when I want." "I could make you that kind of deal." "I didn't bring you here to make a play, Callie." "No?" "No." "What did you bring me here for, Sonny?" "Conversation?" "To get you away from a bad husband." "You really believe that?" "You brought me back here for the same reason I came." "I never loved my husband, if that's what you're wondering about." "I married him because he said he would take care of me." "This is America, sweetheart." "Cut yourself free." "Find a new town." "Get a job." "You have heard of jobs, haven't you?" "Men are my job." "Well, not really men." "One man." "One man who will give me what I need." "I'll do anything for him." "Whatever he wants." "Whatever he needs." "Whatever he needs to want." "Anything." "Anything." "You build your life around a man?" "Yes." "Does it matter which one?" "But of course it matters, Sonny." "It matters a lot." "Does it matter enough to look before you leap?" "You don't know me." "You don't know anything about me." "You don't know what you're dealing with." "But of course I know you." "I knew you from the very first minute I saw you." "You're restless." "You're hungry." "You're lonely." "You have dreams." "Hold me tight." "This may never happen again." "Ricardo Tubbs, this is-- Joe Dalva..." "Assistant Director, Organized Crime Task Force." "Pleased to meet you." "A pleasure, Ric." "I understand you made the contact with Clemente's messenger." "I was explaining to Agent Dalva... our reluctance to compromise a protected witness." "And I was explaining to your Lieutenant here... that this is a lock." "Sergio Clemente is one of the biggest crime lords in the Southeast." "He wants to turn state's evidence in exchange for immunity." "This is a major-league defection, guys." "Clemente could tumble the whole house of cards, Atlantic City to Puerto Rico." "Be a nice feather in your cap, huh?" "Exposing a protected witness could jeopardize the entire program, Dalva." "We promised witnesses a new identity, safety for life." "It's a lock." "It's a one-time deal." "And nobody's gonna hear about it." "We show him Maria and we reel this guy in." "How can you be so sure?" "Maria Rojas?" "Why, she's Sergio Clemente's little sister." "Say, where would you guys like to go for supper this evening?" "My treat." "Courtesy of my old Uncle Sammy." "So that's it." "She went back to her husband, I guess." "Man, there's something weird with this lady." "Can't figure out what the hell it is." "Maybe she's playing a competition game." "And the prize goes to the highest bidder." "Maybe." "Is she in love with you?" "With Burnett." "I see." "There's more to it than that." "Something's up." "So what's going on with Dalva?" "The chump's a fed." "A hungry fed." "He thinks Clemente's testimony is going to wipe out all organized crime at once." "Man, it's all getting too damned predictable." "Ten years ago I would have believed in the feds." "I would've trusted them." "Ten years ago I would've bought this lady's whole act." "Yeah, you've been riding on the Funway too long." ""E" ticket's all used up." "Rides are getting dull." "Ain't that the trap, Rico?" "The better you get at this job, the more dangerous it becomes." "Lose your edge and you're a dead cop." "You gonna see Callie again?" "You guys have really got it easy down here." "Tropical climate." "Beautiful scenery." "Laid-back place." "I could really get used to this." "Joe Dalva?" "Alfred Clark." "I'm Mrs. Rojas' attorney." "Where is she?" "Home." "My client's declining to cooperate." "Come again?" "My client declines to cooperate." "She feels it might greatly shorten her lifespan." "That's all folks." "Wait a minute." "Does she realize what she's doing?" "Her brother wants to come in out of the cold just to see her after two long years." "Look, she's scared enough already before all this happened." "Let me talk with her." "Sure." "She'll call you as soon as you get back to D.C." "She's in the car, isn't she?" "Now don't open that door." "In the car." "Stay." "Back, back." "She's very protective." "Sonny." "Callie, why did you come back here?" "I had to." "My husband knows it all." "He will follow me." "He will hunt me down wherever I go." "Listen to me." "Listen to me." "I can protect you, but you've got to be honest with me right now." "How could I lie to you?" "I just can't ask you to get involved in this." "You're probably the best chance I'll ever have, but I just can't." "I just can't ask you to get involved in this." "Oh, I'm already involved." "Let's make love now." "We have time." "Callie." "He won't be back till late." "Callie...." "Callie, we-- Please come." "Listen to me." "Yes, now." "Who the hell are you?" "No, Charlie!" "Don't!" "Charlie, don't hurt him!" "No!" "Don't!" "Come on." "Come on, tough-- Charlie, don't hurt him!" "Was she good?" "No!" "Don't!" "Charlie, don't!" "Stop it!" "Get the hell out of here." "This is one of the things I really like about you, Crockett." "You're like a magnet." "You attract some of the weirdest women in the Western Hemisphere." "Why don't you just pull your badge and take that chump down?" "They're running a game on me, Rico." "Setting me up." "I mean, they're setting Burnett up." "I gotta see this thing through to the end." "Yeah?" "Right." "Of course, if this is just a sad lady... with a bad husband and a big heart, who falls in love with a cop's cover... you could be making things worse for her." "Even the breeze is hot today." "This will never work." "Clemente's gonna know that she's a decoy." "I understand what you're trying to do... but when you get this close to something this big, the end justifies the means." "I won't jeopardize the integrity of a federal witness." "I'm telling you, Clemente's gonna know this is a decoy from a 100 yards away." "Trudy?" "Lieutenant, we got a black stretch coming your way." "Let him go." "I told you." "He's not going for it." "This is Joe Dalva." "Let Clemente go!" "I repeat." "Let him go!" "We have nothing to hold him with." "I don't want a bust in a court battle." "I want a cooperative witness for the prosecution." "That's an order, Lieutenant." "Let him go." "Hello?" "What'd you think..." "I don't know my own sister?" "Clemente, do you really want us to crash Maria's protection?" "Unless I know she's alive, I don't know this protection program is for real." "You made Tony Assante a deal... and five months later he starts appearing in pieces outside Newark" "Assante blew his own cover." "No sister, no deal." "What would that tell you if you can force us to get your sister out?" "What would it tell you about the program?" "I wanna know she's still alive." "She loved to dance." "She used to stand on my feet, she was so small." "Light, light as rain." "When she came home from lessons she would dance just for me." "Show me my sister." "You got one more chance." "I never thought it would work, but I wanted to give your people their best shot." "He's right here." "Your boss." "Yes." "I understand." "We'll give Agent Dalva our complete cooperation." "Yes." "Okay." "Do your stuff." "You're losing it, Sonny, man." "Remember what you told me about edges and dead cops?" "I say a lot of things." "I talk too much." "Maria." "Maria!" "Maria!" "Hi, there!" "The sliding door was open." "I didn't mean to startle you." "I'm sorry." "Maria, it's not a lot to ask." "Give your brother a kiss on the cheek and disappear back into the suburbs." "Why do you think he's so anxious to see me?" "He just wants-- He just wants to know that... you're okay." "So he can kill me himself." "He murdered my husband." "What do you think he wants with me?" "I testified against him in court." "I betrayed him." "Just because he's my brother doesn't mean he can't hate me." "There'll be a 100 cops there." "I promise." "I am not going!" "Look, you are making me very tired." "We have had two years of good cooperation." "You don't want to change that, do you?" "What are you saying?" "If you want us to look out for you, you've got to look out for us." "But I know he's gonna kill me." "Callie?" "It's like a sauna in here." "Callie?" "Callie?" "What happened?" "After you left, he went crazy." "He kept on hitting me and yelling at me." "He said he will kill me." "I'm sorry I came back here." "I didn't know anywhere else to go." "Where's Basset now?" "I'm sorry, I told him a lie." "I had to." "You know, Charlie has this coke, two kilos." "I think he stole it." "So I told him that you want to buy." "That I was working you so you would buy that coke... and that explained what we were doing on the room the other day." "How much?" "$60,000." "Is it good quality?" "Yes, it's very pure." "Charlie's desperate because he owes some money." "What if it goes down wrong?" "Do you want me to kill him?" "Okay." "Definitely Miami." "How's the eye?" "It hardly shows now." "Did you make it with him?" "No, he wouldn't." "He's kind of old fashioned." "Don't shoot him in the face, okay?" "Sure." "Wait a minute." "Too much tape." "I'd like to have a little skin left when I pull this thing off." "Yo, Crockett." "Hey." "Wish I was going with you, man." "Yeah, me, too." "Some kind of symmetry... both things going down today." "Nice to know there's still a little poetry left in the world." "Be careful." "You haven't seen everything." "Maybe we just see what we want to see." "Be careful." "The head and the heart, Rico." "I'd sure like to get them together just once." "Hey, Zito." "Hi, Rico." "Half-inch, chrome-alloy steel." "Both sides, like you wanted." "Very nice." "Hope it works." "The Clemente meet with his sister is set." "Gina's got a line on Clemente's messenger." "Rico?" "Yeah?" "I'll see you tonight." "Count on it." "Freeze!" "Miami Vice!" "What does Clemente want with Maria Rojas?" "What does he want?" "I don't know, but I'm very sorry about the hotel." "I am a refugee." "I am an engineer from Nicaragua." "I wouldn't have fired the gun." "I never held a gun in my hands." "Come here." "Come here." "Sit down." "Forget the hotel and tell me about Clemente." "I know so little." "I'm afraid I cannot help you very much." "I'm only a messenger." "I never seen the guy." "You don't know what you know." "Think very carefully." "What you think is unimportant could be very vital to us." "I only heard him once say one thing." "But it doesn't make any sense." "What?" "He says he only wants to see Maria Rojas dance again." "Here he comes." "Hold it, hold it!" "Leave her alone!" "I had to do it!" "I told you he was going to kill me!" "I had to do it!" "I had no choice!" "He was gonna kill me." "I had no choice." "I didn't want to do it!" "He was my brother!" "I didn't mean to...." "Burnett." "So we meet again." "You got something for me?" "Hey, I think I've got one over here!" "Lieutenant, I've got another one over here!" "Thank God, you're all right." "Sonny, there are beaches whiter than this." "So white they hurt your eyes." "So clean, so pure... so empty." "I'll take you there." "I'll take you to places you never dreamed...." "You have the right to remain silent." "If you give up the right...."
