DICK:

Hey, Marcus. Did you know we gotbusted into again last night? When

are you gonna do something about this?

BURNETT:

Hey, Dick. How many times I gottatell you? I don't work robbery.

I'm in Narcotics.

Meanwhile, Lowrey's holding the car door open as the kidspile into the jump seat in the back.

LOWREY:

Don't get your sticky fingers allover my windows... and keep yourfeet off the seats, I just had theleather conditioned.

The kids ignore him, gleefully continuing to squirmaround. Before Burnett can get into the car, Theresa

runs out.

THERESA:

Marcus... I need you to stop atSave-More on the way home and pickup exactly what's on the list.

She hands Burnett a long list.

BURNETT:

Oh, baby. Damn.

Lowrey shakes his head.

A39 EXT. MIAMI P.D. - DAY A39

Lowrey and Burnett pull up in Porsche.

B39 INT POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - DAY B39

Lowrey and Burnett walking.

BURNETT:

Twins?

LOWREY:

If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. Her

sister came down and posted thegirl's bail. And later? Man,

talk about special effects.

BURNETT:

What special effects?

FRANCINE, a civilian employee of the narcotics unit.

She's got pictures of her children parked around hercomputer desktop. And though dowdy would be acompliment, she's usually got a pleasant smile forthe boys. Except today...

FRANCINE:

Evidence room. Howard's waiting

for you.

BURNETT:

Your kids are lookin' sharp,

Francine.

She smiles.

40 INT. EVIDENCE ROOM - DAY 40

Burnett and Lowrey know there's big problems when, at thebottom of the stairwell, the first thing they see is ayellow police tape and fingerprint team dusting a torchedlock. Problem is, the building is nothing but cops andit looks as if the entire department is stomping all overthe evidence room.

INTRO - SANCHEZ AND RUIZ

SANCHEZ:

Let's see. There's Sleepy, Grumpy,

Sneezy, Happy, Bashful... Now,

who could we be missin'?

RUIZ:

Could it be... Dopey?

Both laugh hysterically, while:

LOWREY:

If it ain't the leftovers from

Miami Vice. Fashion casualties,

lost somewhere in the eighties.

BURNETT:

And the women really go for that.

Really, they do.

As Burnett and Lowrey duck the tape, they note a verygroggy O'Fee over in the corner being attended by aparamedic team. He's still out cold. An oh sh*t look

passes between the two partners.

41 INT. HEROIN LOCKER - DAY 41

Another torched lock noted as Burnett and Lowrey enterwith Sanchez an Ruiz behind them. The room is emptied.

Captain HOWARD appears. He's short, has a militaryhaircut, and has a minor Napoleon complex and a major inparanoia.

HOWARD:

Nice of you to roll in. And

nothing particular is going onaround here except, maybe, yourdope is gone. That's right. The

biggest dope bust in the historyof this department up and walkedout of this locker, along withmaybe my job and the two of yoursif we don't get the sh*t back.

BURNETT:

This can't be happening.

(CONTINUED)

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/21/94 14.

41 CONTINUED:

HOWARD:

So here's what we're gonna do.

Since it was originally yourcase, you two guys are on point.

Sanchez and Ruiz, you back themup with whatever they need.

Groans all around.

LOWREY:

So I guess we should start withthe C.I.s and the perps from theoriginal case. But hell if I

know any dope dealers with theballs to pull this off. They'reeither dead or in the lock-uppending trial.

BURNETT:

How's O'Fee?

SINCLAIR (O.S.)

Oh, he'll be just fine.

From the side appears a cigar-chewing Internal Affairssuit named SINCLAIR. He circles close to Burnett and

Lowrey, waving his cigar as he speaks.

HOWARD:

Name's Sinclair. Internal

Affairs. He's our new proctologist.

SINCLAIR:

You see, what's got me confusedis, why risk leaving a witness?

Why not kill O'Fee instead?

BURNETT:

Because maybe this guy knows ifyou kill a cop the wholedepartment'll get up his asshard and fast.

SINCLAIR:

And who knows that better than

anybody else? Cops.

BURNETT:

You're not sayin' this was aninside job. Cops wouldn't pullthis sh*t.

SINCLAIR:

Not just cops. Narcotic cops.

For example, the S.N.D. You've

got access. You've gotwherewithall. And most

importantly, you've got theconnections. Who else would know

how to unload a hundred million

dollars worth of heroin?

LOWREY:

Hey, f*** you and your cheap, offthe-

rack suit.

HOWARD:

Enough. I.A.'s in it and there's

nothing we can do about it. If

any of this leaks, the sh*t'sgonna hit our biggest fan.

Remember him? The mayor? He

created us and you can bet yourjobs, boys, he'll rip us intolittle cop pieces. I figure wegot seventy-two hours to find thedope and keep our jobs.

LOWREY:

Nothing like a little old-fashionedincentive.

CLOSE ON BURNETT

He walks to the center of the room and kneels to those

four bolt holes in the floor. He fingers the paraffinfiller, then looks above to the air conditioning grate.

BURNETT:

What about the air conditioning?

HOWARD:

So what about it?

BURNETT:

(to Lowrey)

What do you think?

LOWREY:

I think you should go ahead,

crawl up and give it a goodlook.

BURNETT:

Why me?

(CONTINUED)

BAD BOYS - Rev. 6/21/94 15A.

LOWREY:

For one, it was your idea. Two,

while my suit's fresh, you'redressed for the occasion.

BURNETT:

Don't say nothin' about myclothes. I paid for these.

LOWREY:

And I don't?

BURNETT:

Not on a cop's salary.

42 INT. HEROIN LOCKER - INSIDE SHAFT - BURNETT 42

Burnett crawls up with some help from Lowrey below,

stalling the oscillating fan with his cuffs and crawlingthrough. The first thing Burnett notices are the trackmarks from the bobsled cutting through a coating of dust.

LOWREY:

Anything?

BURNETT:

Yeah. I got some weird track

marks in here.

Then Burnett notes a manufacturing stamp at the joint.

It reads:
ORONA AIR CONTITIONING SYSTEMS, INC.

43 INT. HEROIN LOCKER ROOM - ON HOWARD 43

Who appears from below, framed in the vent shaft.

HOWARD:

Nice and cool up there, Burnett?

Comfy? Maybe there's a new career

for you in building maintenance.

44 INT. SQUAD ROOM - DAY 44

Lowrey and Burnett with their desks opposite each other.

The CAMERA CIRCLES while they lay the arm on someinformants.

BURNETT:

There's gonna be a lotta cash

when the dope hits the street.

We want you to put the word out

through your bank and hustle the

account. You help us, maybe we

can see about getting those R.T.C.

auditors off your ass.

LOWREY:

Listen, Cedras. You and I both

know you're the number one importer

for the Simona Brothers. And I'm

tellin' you there's a buttload of

H on the move and someone's gonna

wanna stick their dick in it. So

it better not be yours. You hear
