"[Tape Reel Rolling] [Woman Laughing]" "[Woman On Speaker] Good morning." "Eat your breakfast." "It's getting cold." "[Man] Yes, we're here in the balmy sunshine." "[Woman] Oh." "Good." "Some coffee." "[Clattering] [Man] This is the life, huh?" "[Woman] Thank you." "[Man] How much money have you spent again?" "[Woman] I'm really not interested." "[Woman] So what's on the big agenda for today here in, uh..." "[Man] Well, I think that, uh, we're gonna go uptown." "You and I are gonna meet some people tonight up in Lauderdale." "Get some sun today." "[Woman] What's that supposed to mean?" "[Man] It means I don't want the world thinkin' I'm married to a corpse." "[Snickers] Never let it be said coke dealers aren't charming." "[Chuckling]" "Maybe I feel like a corpse." "I still don't know why we left Jersey to come to this dump." " Amen." " Woman after your own heart, eh, Tubbs?" " Got that right." " Two million extra per annum good enough reason, sweetheart?" "This is the land of opportunity." "[Tubbs] Mmm-mmm-mmm.!" "The upside of surveillance." "Mmm-mmm-mmm.!" "Unless I inherit about $ 15 million," "I don't stand a chance in this town." "Well, what do you think?" "Do I look like a guy that's about ready to get divorced?" " You want the truth?" " No, lie to me." "You shaved." "Definitely." "My pal." "Oh, gee." "Hmm." "Mornin'." "Hi, girls." "Well, what's new today with America's favorite couple?" "Nada." "He's being pretty tight-lipped about how he's gonna set up shop." "We got a loose tail set up on Brickell... about three blocks short, if he decides to make a move." "Okay." "Have a ball, guys." "Hey, uh, Zito." "What?" "She's taking offher shirt." "Oh, my God.!" "She's naked.!" "[Toilet Flushing]" "Rush in here like that, you'll hurt yourself." "[Zito] What are you talking about?" "Uh, let me see." "Oh!" "Sorry, pal." "You missed it." "She was buck naked right there." "Hey, look on the bright side of things, Sonny." "What's the bright side of divorce?" "At least it's not a root canal." "[Tires Screeching]" "[Chuckling] You gotta have a sense of humor about these things, man." "On the square..." "look, I'm your partner, man." "You need anything, I'm here." "Thanks, pal." "You got it." "Hi, Janet." "How are you?" "Mr. Crockett." "Listen, we've discussed this, and it's very simple." "As custodial parent, my client will take the boy." "We'll ask for and get a four-county restraining order." "She won't take the kid north of Palm Beach." "Hardball?" "We'll discuss Mr. Crockett's lifestyle." "Vice cop who deals with dopeheads, pimps and scum all day?" "He'll be lucky if he gets a chance to see the boy once a year." "[Caroline] I told you, Alan." "Visitation stays the way we discussed it." "Caroline, please." "Let me handle this." "Caroline, can I speak to you?" "Caroline, there's no need for extracurricular negotiation here." "Don't push it, Alan." "I had no idea." "[Sighs] Look." "The only reason we got involved with these clowns in the first place... was because you want to move to Atlanta." "And I guess... if you think that's best..." "Ah, what the hell." "It's only an hour's plane ride." "Oh, Sonny." "I'm so turned around about all of this." "Now I feel like maybe I'm being selfish about it." "Billy does need to grow up with his father." "And..." "I could find a job down here." "I understand your client lives on a boat somewhere with a 12-foot alligator." "A real Mr. Rogers." "See you in court." "Actually, I don't think you will." "What?" "And if you don't have another case, you won't be going to court either." "What the lady's trying to say is, you're both fired." "Caroline, let's stop this nonsense and get back into..." "And another thing, scrub." "You speak to Caroline like that again, and I'll wrap you around your endangered species briefcase." "Sonny!" "Well, our divorce was a bigger failure than our marriage." "[Chuckles]" "Car's on its way up, Mr. C. [Woman] Now where are you going?" "Teddy's gonna fit me for a couple of suits." "[Woman Sighs] [Man] I'll be back in an hour." "[Woman] Can I come?" "Do these dealers do anything besides buy clothes, or what?" "Yeah." "They buy cars." "Tail car one, start your engine." "He's going to the tailor." "Where's Nicky?" "He's in the john." "He'll be right out." "What's the matter with that kid, huh?" " They just hit him!" " Drop it.!" "Drop it!" "Now!" "Now!" "Drop it.!" "Drop it.!" "Drop it.!" "Get away from the car!" "Get your hands up!" "You stand right there!" "[Engine Starts]" "[Switek Over Radio] It's a gray '83 Camaro." "He's heading north on Brickell." "[Horn Honking]" "[Dispatcher] Unit 44, a 2-10 in progress." "Canalli Liquor Store, 17th and Victor." "[Dispatcher] The gray Camaro suspect vehicle in the Castranova shooting at the Flamingo Towers this morning... has been spotted in the parking lot of Desiree Motel." "Castranova?" "[Tubbs] That was my stakeout at the Flamingo Towers on Castranova." "What the hell happened?" "[Man] Three guys were wasted." "We have a suspect inside." "Let's take him." "Forget about the cowboy stuff." "We wait for backup." "[Siren Wailing]" "[Tubbs] Just send them a telegram and tell 'em that the police have arrived." "I want everything dusted and printed." "Hair samples to type, check the room, parking lot and out back." "Scraps of paper, matchbook covers, the works." "Have it all run through the lab." "I don't care if you have to turn this whole motel." "Yes, sir." "There was a briefcase in the room." "Apparently he didn't go back for it." "They must have caught him out by the ice machine or something." "Twenty grand in cash, couple of pistols and this." "Where is he?" "I was wondering if there was some other reason... for us not going through with it today." "Like what?" "I don't know." "I keep thinking I didn't try hard enough to make it work." "You tried hard enough." "Didn't you ever have that thought?" "No." "200, 300 times, max." "Maybe this time." "Yeah." "[Doorbell Rings] Don't tell me." "Boyfriend?" "Yeah." "It's my 12:00, wise guy." "Hey, pretty lady." "Hi." "How you doin'?" "Sonny here?" "Yeah." "I'd like to talk to him." "Sonny?" "Uh..." "Castranova, his bodyguard and his chauffeur... were shot and killed after we left our stakeout this morning." "By who?" "We don't know." "But it's strictly professional." "Almost caught up with the shooter down on Bayshore." "This was in a briefcase he left behind." "It's a hit list, Sonny, and you're on it." "You're number eight." "That's what this is all about?" "Come on, guys." "I need about 10 hands to count the number of times my life's been threatened." "There are eight names on the list, Crockett." "The first six are already dead." "[Crockett] What about S.I.D.?" "Yeah, they're still working on the car and the hotel room." "They got fingerprints on the car, and the hotel room's a bust-out." "They got 92 sets of fingerprints." "Hey, I've got D.E.A. Files on the first five on the hit list." "All mid-level dealers starting to expand." "Yeah, just like at the Flamingo this morning with Castranova." "Looks like somebody's out to eliminate competition." "Yeah." "Yeah, I appreciate the rush, Jerry." "I owe you one, huh?" "Right." "Thanks." "Well, off the prints in the car, one set rings a gong, and of all places, Interpol." "[Crockett] Name?" "There isn't any." "But the prints tie him into 1974." "Allende's former ambassador to Mexico." "1975, Turkish military attaché in Rio." "1977, cultural attaché." "1981, Sandinista spokeswoman in Central..." "Yeah, the list goes on." "It's international." "Works both sides." "Any side." "They think he's Argentinean." "That's all?" "Yeah." "And that he bats a thousand." "When you care enough, you only send the very best." "Hey, guys." "S.I.D. Found a torn piece of a receipt under the bed in the shooter's room, and it's got a name on it..." "Carlos Mendez." "All right." "Run traces to the D.E.A., F.B.I., A.T.F." "F.B.I.'s working on it." "All right." "File an advisory to Interpol." "Maybe this assassin's finally got a label." "Carlos Mendez." "I think I got an info sheet on this Mendez." "Safe housejust called." "Caroline and Billy just arrived in protective custody." "Who's at the safe house?" "Um, Monahan, Sheeney, Hebner and Ferris." "This guy's never taken a bust." "No rap sheet, no photos, no prints." "Lou, you promised me six." "Another team from downtown is on the way." "That's six." "And with you there with them, that's seven, all right?" "Wait a minute." "I'm not running away from this." "Look, we got it covered down here, Crockett." "Oh, he's in thick with a lot of heavy boys down in Bogota, huh?" "Sometime drug deal middleman." "Uh, believed to have residences in New York, Miami and Puerto Rico." "Trudy, did you get a line on Linus Oliver?" "Who?" "Number seven on the hit list." "We got an address." "Let's go." "I told you, Crockett!" "I want you off the streets." "You and Gina finish up here and then set up surveillance on this Linus Oliver, huh?" "Lou, I do my own work." "You want to mess with me?" "You are going into protective custody with your family, is what you're doing." "And I'm taking you there handcuffed if I have to." "I'm checking out the safe house myself." "Come on." "Let's move." "First we stop at your boat and pick up some clean clothes." "F.B.I. Surveillance photo of Mendez..." "I can't make it out." "Here, let me take a look." "Ahh." "What the hell can you tell about this?" "Shadow of a man's head from behind?" "[Joplin] That's Casa Marco right here in Lauderdale." "Yeah?" "Wait a minute." "The man across from Mendez with the blonde... that's Calderone." "Calderone." "He's behind this." "Why Crockett and not you?" "I don't know." "Maybe he knew that Crockett was the Miami heat." "And as far as he was concerned, I was just a no-name cop who got the drop on him." "So he's staging a comeback to Miami?" "I don't think so." "Getting rid of the competition that grabbed the territory he left open." "Smoothing the past." "Nailing the cop that busted him." "Here you go, buddy." " Oh, Will." " Huh?" "Listen, there's some frozen perch in the hold when Elvis gets hungry." "S.I.D. Found this in the trunk of the shooter's car at the motel." "Thanks." "Come on, Crockett." "Let's move it, huh?" "Hey, Crockett's address." "Huh?" "Crockett and Lou were talking on the stairs about going to his place first to pick up his stuff." "To the boat?" "Yeah." "His undercover address." "Ah." "Well, I guess that's everything." "[Phone Rings] Except for the phone." "[Rings]" "Crockett!" "[Gunshot]" "[Gunshot]" "Lou?" "Lou?" "Sonny." "So..." "Sonny." "391." "We need a 315." "Officer down." "Officer down." "Right away." "You sure it was Calderone in the photograph?" "Man, I'm positive." "Trudy linked him with the first six names on the list." "Mrs. Rodriguez?" "Yes, Doctor?" "You should know he's in very critical condition." "He'll be going back into surgery in about half an hour." "[Sobbing] I'm sorry." "Lou's tough." "He'll pull through, Maria." "Don't worry." "Excuse me, Doctor." "[Crockett] Take care ofher, guys." "What's the real scoop?" "Massive bleeding." "Thoracic trauma." "What the hell hit him, an elephant gun?" "Hey, Crockett." "Hey!" "Where the hell do you think you're going?" "Find Mendez." "It's too hot out there!" "What am I gonna do?" "Sit on some beach while Rodriguez hangs by a thread?" "That bullet he took was meant for me, Tubbs." "Yeah, man." "Hey, look." "Hey, man, you go out there, you're gonna end up right in here next to Rodriguez." "You're not listening to me, man!" "You can't go out there, you know?" "Nothing I can say is gonna change your mind, huh?" "All right, buddy." "Let's both go get him." "Any other info come through from Interpol on Mendez?" "[Switek On Phone] No, but Gina's trying to get you." "Patch her through." "Tubbs, this Linus Oliver just got a call to get up a deal in some prearranged location." "He's on the move." "Look, Gina, we're not interested in busting him." "Linus referred to the caller as "Mendez."" "Well, call in backup right away and tail him." "We're movin' south on Second." "[Trudy] The third backup unit just picked up Linus on 17 th." " We're three minutes away." " Wait a minute." "Linus is making a U-turn." "I think he spotted the tail." "Damn it!" "He's turning off." "We're losing him." "Which street is he turning onto?" "East on 19th toward Biscayne." "He's headed towards us." "Crockett." "There." "[Women Screaming] [Horns Honking]" "[Screaming]" "[Siren Wailing]" "So where were you headed, Mr. Club Owner?" "To the car wash." "You always take your babysitter along?" "It's in a bad neighborhood." "My, look how time flies." "Running late for a business appointment." "Ciao." "You're running late for life, slick." "Don't you read the newspapers?" "Dealers like yourself are droppin' like flies." "[Giggles] Dealer?" "What you mean?" "Dealer." "Like a car dealer?" " Where'd he put the suitcase?" " In the trunk." "You had surveillance on me?" " The key, Linus." " You're infringing'with my constitution." " You got no right to open that suitcase." " Probable cause." "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." "Linus, you should have locked this." "[Mock Gasp] Mmm." "Ooh, lookee here." "Where'd that come from?" "Pray tell... the tooth fairy?" "Well, let's see, I figure you'll be out sometime in the 21 st century." "L-I say we let the brother go." "Why not?" "Save the taxpayers room service and linen bills." "Hit the bricks, Linus." "Finders keepers." "Hey, no, you keep it." "We don't want it." "Eight-to-five Linus is history by midnight Wednesday." "[Crockett] I'll take it." "I say he makes it to Thursday." "[Linus] Yo." "Yo, what is this?" "You don't understand, Mr. GQ man." "You're number seven on Mendez's hit list." "Six are already history, including Berrencia and Castranova... first thing this morning." "Uh, let's get out of the open, man." "Uh-uh." "I like the sunshine, fresh air, vitamin C." "Yeah." "Earth to Linus." "Come in, Linus." "Look, man." "It ain't mine." "I was just holding it for this guy, you see." "Holding for or holding out on?" "Guy name of Calderone, with a long reach and a large hand?" "Yeah." "After he collected the goodies, Mendez would have had a bullet waiting for you at Bayshore Park." "You got a number on Mendez?" "Yeah." "His mobile phone in his car." "Step into my office over here." "Uh, you got a quarter?" "Dial." "Tell him the meet's still on." "[Dialing] [Tubbs] Make it someplace isolated... like, uh, airport parking lot C, third level." "Hello." "Carlos." "Yeah, man." "Look here." "I'm sorry about today." "I got tied up with some last minute business." "Yeah, tonight's great, man." "You know the airport?" "My club?" "Look, man, my club's jammed with people, loud music." "Yeah, okay." "Uh-huh." "Upstairs." "Slide on by, man." "Yeah." "Solid." "Mendez likes crowds." "Look here, man." "Looks like this is the time for me to check out." "You dudes take over." "Ciao." "Guess again, bucko." "Uh-uh." "No way, Jack." "If you're thinkin' what I think you're thinkin', no way am I gonna go in there tonight... and get my face shot off." "You're looking at a conscientious objection." "No, man." "Look, the dude walks in the door, you grab him." "Simple." "Well, small problem." "We don't know what he looks like." "You get to spot him for us." "I should've gone on to podiatry school." "I knew I should've done that." "But then you wouldn't warrant the Trudy-Gina Escort Service." "[Tubbs Laughing]" "Have I got a guy for you!" "[Trudy] Yeah?" "Yeah." "Stick with him, ladies." "Yeah, stick with me, ladies." "Yeah, well, you just take your place, okay?" "In the back." "Step right in, babycakes." "See you later." "All right." "Take care of him." "Hey, Crockett." "You wait here, and I'll bring up the car." "Nice try, Tubbs." "No cigar." "I think I can make it a half a block without getting shot." "Hey..." "You dropped these." "Hey, man." "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "A little jumpy." "Yeah, I'd say so." "One lucky citizen back there." "Not to mention me." "[Seagulls Squawking]" "[Crockett] Billy.!" "Stay close, Son." "Okay!" "Look at this." "Isn't that a pretty shell?" "[Caroline] It really is." "Sonny, I've never been this scared before." "[Crockett] It's the last thing in the world you deserve." "Don't worry, baby." "Nothing's gonna happen to us." "Promise me you'll stay here." "I'm sorry." "I'm trying to stay cool, you know, but I'm losing it." "No, you're not." "I can't stay, baby." "Rodriguez is in the hospital." "People I work with are putting it on the line." "Hey, sport." "What'd you find there?" "What do you got there?" "It's a crab." "Oh, it's a little hermit crab." "All right, listen." "I want you to do me a favor." "Oh, my goodness!" "You're getting so big." "I want you to promise me you'll take care of your mom." "Okay." "Okay." "Give me a hug." "All right." "Off you go." "Wave bye-bye." "?" "[Disco]" "?" "Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen ?" "?" "Tonight we'll put all other things aside ?" "All right." "How are you doing, sir?" "Terrific."
