FOUCHET:

(into mic)

Where's Deputy Dog?

FERGUSON (V.O.)

(over radio mic)

He made us.

FOUCHET:

Then do him, now!

21 GUARD STATION 21

Sure enough. As O'Fee stands from his desk -

CUT TO:

22 VENT ABOVE 22

Where Ferguson is waiting with an air-powered tranquilizer

gun. He cuts loose a silent round that strikes

O'Fee at the base of the neck. O'Fee stops. But before

he can think to reach back at what hit him, his knees

buckle and he drops to the linoleum. Out cold.

23 INT. POLICE STATION - QUICK SHOTS - FERGUSON - NIGHT 23

One by one he moves backwards through the various levelsof locks, torching each to look as if they'd entered theevidence room from inside the PD station.

Meanwhile -

24 TRACH CHUTE ROOM 24

Noah removes what looks like a flattened bobsled with

large urethane wheels from the metal case and places itinside the air shaft.

Ferguson attaches the black "scuba tank," labeled"NITROUS OXIDE," to a valve. This is connected to a

metal-cased cable system that is piston-gunned into thefloor.

CUT BACK TO:

25 HEROIN LOCKER 25

Fouchet and Casper moving the stacks of heroin, placingthem in the air duct on the bobsled. Once they're done,

we hear RADIO GARBLE, then the sled is cabled to the contraption.

A button is pushed -- and the sled is pulledat breakneck speed through the duct.

26 EXT. POLICE STATION ALLEY - NIGHT 26

Bag after bag drops down the trash chute and tumbles intoan open-roofed van where the last of the gang, EddieDominguez, waits with the ENGINE RUNNING.

27 IN AIR DUCT 27

The sled rockets by again -- WHOOSH -- loaded with morebags.

28 INT. HEROIN LOCKER 28

Casper and Fouchet throw the last of their gear down thechute and ride the sled out.

29 EXT./INT. VAN - POLICE STATION - ALLEY 29

One! Two! Three! Four! They all land atop the bags.

Eddie GUNS the VAN, which rolls up the ramp and out the

garage.

One of those expensive condo buildings on Brickell Avenuewith a circular driveway and a uniformed doorman.

33 INT. CONDO - MORNING 33

Spectacular view.

CAMERA STALLS ON -- a perma-plaqued newspaper clippingwith a photo depiction of Lowrey and Burnett in front ofa giant pile of black heroin, thumbs up to the camera.

The headline reads: MIAMI PD RECORDS RECORD HEROIN BUST.

34 INT. LOWREY'S BEDROOM - MORNING 34

Where Lowrey wakes up in a king-sized bed. The pain onhis face and empty, scattered bottles tell us he'snursing a world-class hangover. He sits up, carefully,

holds his aching head. Hearing BREATHING, Lowrey liftsthe sheet next to him.

REVEAL THE LATINA

The one from the Colony Hotel. He drops the sheet backover her head, reaches over to his nightstand and grabsan industrial-sized bottle of Excedrin. Empty. He opensthe nightstand drawer, extracts another bottle. Empty.

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/22/94 9.

35 INT. BATHROOM 35

All marble and brass. Lowrey opens up his medicinecabinet. Locating a new bottle of aspirin... he suddenlyrealizes that the SHOWER is RUNNING. Confused, he pullsopen the shower curtain slightly. From the back, it's an

incredible body, then she turns around and it's -

THE LATINA:

Yes. The very same as the one he just saw in bed. What?

LATINA TWIN:

'Morning.

Lowrey closes the curtain on her. Frowns at this

impossibility. He steps back into the doorway and peersover at his bed. Yep, same face. Twins?

LOWREY:

(shaking his head)

Oh man...

He tears open the bottle of aspirin. Chug-a-lugs.

36 INT. BURNETT HOUSE - BEDROOM - MORNING 36

Burnett and his young wife, THERESA, are jarred awake bythe CLOCK RADIO BLARING on the night stand. Theresa

gropes for RADIO, shuts it OFF. Burnett playfully gropesfor her.

THERESA:

Marcus, what are you doing?

BURNETT:

We're always saying we should

spend more quality time together.

Well, I got the time... and you

got the quality...

She laughs. He kisses her.

BURNETT:

I can remember when we used to

do it every morning.

THERESA:

That was how we got a three

bedroom house filled with little

Burnetts.

She crawls from bed.

BURNETT:

Been over a week since I've had

some quality time!

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/22/94 10.

37 INT. BURNETT'S KITCHEN - MORNING 37

Pandemonium. There's the two-and-a-half-year-old,

MEGAN, who's taking bites of food and spitting it backout, looking at it, then putting it back in. Six-yearold

JILL, who is playing refrigerator magnet games on thefridge. And Marcus in the middle of it all, deftly sidestepping

his eight-year-old boy, QUINCY, who appears onroller blades whizzing through with a hockey stick andball. He body-checks Jill against the ice box.

JILL:

Mom, Quincy pushed me.

QUINCY:

Uncle Mike showed me that move.

THERESA:

Quincy, never-you-mind. And take

those things off in the house!

Jill, stop with the book and eatyour breakfast.

(then, exasperated)

Marcus, why do I always have todiscipline the kids? You playbad cop for a second.

Alongside the kitchen screen door we see Lowrey's PORSCHEROAR to a stop in the driveway.

BURNETT:

Kids, knock it off... or yourmomma's gonna whoop your butts!

Theresa laughs in spite of herself as the kids continueto fight. Into this craziness enters Mike Lowrey...

LOWREY:

Ah, family life. Reminds me

why I stay single.

JILL & QUINCY

Uncle Mike! Uncle Mike!

LOWREY:

Hiya, kids. Mornin', Theresa.

Lowrey pecks Theresa on the cheek. She recoils.

THERESA:

Don't kiss me, Lowrey. I don't

know where those lips were lastnight.

THERESA:

them do you want?

Lowrey accepts the phone from Theresa and talks.

LOWREY:

(listens for along beat)

'Scuse me, Captain. I think youmean to say, 'Get the f*** downhere, please?'
