Miami Vice Page #4

Caribbean freighters seized by US Customs rust at the bank.

MOVE IN. Two Cadillacs are parked. Waiting. A door opens.

An interior light comes on. MOVE CLOSER. Two Russian

slickster types. Patient. One looks at a watch. The other

triggers his cell phone. A meeting is imminent.

MEANWHILE:

INT. FBI OFFICE - RAC JAMES FUJIMA - NIGHT

Empty except for the FBI Agent in a sweatsuit carrying files,

as if he stopped by when Crockett's call came in. He's on a

computer. He picks up the phone...

FUJIMA:

Guy's involved in a "meet"...

CROCKETT:

"Buy and walk"? "Buy and bust"?

"Reverse undercover"? What?

FUJIMA:

Meet and greet. "I flash you some

of mine, you flash me some of

yours?"

CROCKETT:

And the deal goes down at another

place at another time.

FUJIMA:

That's right.

CROCKETT:

...so there's no industrial-

strength HRT weapons team out there

tonight?

Crockett puts his Nextel on "speaker" so Tubbs can hear, too.

FUJIMA:

Correct. Flash samples. Flash

cash.

TUBBS:

(into phone)

Haitian, Dominican, Russian,

Israeli?

FUJIMA:

White supremacist types.

Crockett's impatient.

CROCKETT:

OMGs, Mongols, Nazi Low-Riders,

prison gangs?

FUJIMA:

NLR, we think. I wanna know...

TUBBS:

(sarcastic)

Oh, good...

FUJIMA:

...what else, what else did he

indicate to you? I need to know

everything he said.

CROCKETT:

He is saying they had him from the

gate. He is saying to my partner

and I and to his family "goodbye."

What does that tell you?

CUT TO:

INT. MIAMI-DADE P.D. CHOPPER - SWITEK + ZITO

in the back seat get lucky. The pilot reacts as the

TECHNICIAN in the copilot seat has picked up a signal from

the FIREFLY...the LOCATOR...on Alonzo's Bentley.

SWITEK:

(keys radio; too much

static, tries cell phone)

Sonny, we got him...

INT. BLACK SIKORSKY CHOPPER - CROCKETT + TUBBS

Tubbs pilots it while Crockett gets the location of Alonzo's

car and repeats it into the headset to Tubbs as the...

EXT. SKY OVER MIAMI - C + T'S SIKORSKY - NIGHT

banks hard left and heads for north 95 towards Lauderdale.

Meanwhile...

CUT TO:

EXT. INDIAN RIVER - WIDE: THE DEAL - NIGHT

Three Aryan Brothers in business suits get out of the rear of

the Escalade and Suburban with a driver in each. Our two

"Russians" approach from their Cadillac with a backup

Cadillac and one driver on the other side.

CLOSER:
ARYAN BROTHERS. Friendly. Hip-hop culture has

invaded White Supremacist gangs. Buzz cuts. Goatees. A

couple of diamond earrings.

RUSSIAN #1

...sample now is okay. And we want

sample load when we do deal...

ARYAN BROTHER:

Sure, man.

RUSSIAN #1

What inventory you can supply...?

ARYAN BROTHER #1

Meth. Glass, ice, K's, E's,

Mitsu's, Ames, Ex...whatever you

need. Coke? Tonnage. And

Colombian H. But give us a heads

up...

The Aryan Brother pops him a couple of vials.

ARYAN BROTHER #1 (cont'd)

Ice. Spectra-analyze that sh*t.

And party-on with the coke. You

are looking at ninety-two percent

pure...none of that jumped-on

powder they sell up in New

Yorioo...

ARYAN BROTHER #2

Yeah...

(beat)

Now, let's see the green...

One of the Russians puts his hand on a weapon as the other

opens up a Nike sports bag.

RUSSIAN:

Never seen money before? This is

called "money."

Aryan Brother #1 reaches into the bag at the wrapped stacks

of hundreds. Flips through a couple, takes one or two at

random. Russian nods for him to go ahead.

ARYAN BROTHER #1

Okay. You got lotsa green. We got

all the goodies. We party.

Larry'll call you in the AM and

talk money, quantity, time and

place...

WIDEN. Everybody goes back to their cars. As the two

"Russians" get into theirs, Aryan Brother #1 turns from the

running board of the Escalade with his driver's door open.

ARYAN BROTHER:

Hey, Ivan! I forgot to ask you

something, my brother...

He looks at his partner and nods, who says something into a

Nextel.

ARYAN BROTHER (cont'd)

...they have a decent death-benefit

program in the FBI?

For the Russians in the car, time freezes. As they start

to react, they're blown up by .50 caliber rounds from the two

sniper positions. The .50 caliber rounds go right through

car bodies, sheet metal, upholstery, glass, human flesh,

bone, more upholstery and metal and out the other end.

Another round goes through the passenger door, through the

passenger, through the driver, out the driver door and into

the night...

WIDE:

The three Aryan Brothers approach the steaming cars with the

chopped-up occupants and take the gym bag full of cash. The

Escalade driver dons night-vision goggles. They load up and

drive off as we hear the "thump, thump" of Air Support and

some distant sirens. Meanwhile...

CUT TO:

INT. MIAMI-DADE CHOPPER - SWITEK + ZITO - NIGHT

at 170 knots watching a thermographic image of Alonzo

Stevens' car on a monitor weave through traffic northbound on

the 95... SEE Tubbs' Sikorsky beyond Switek + Zito as it

swoops from a higher altitude right past the Miami-Dade

chopper, banks and dives for the freeway.

EXT. FREEWAY

Tracking with Stevens' Bentley from the front.

The black Sikorsky is almost on the Bentley's hood. Tubbs

racks the chopper sideways so that Alonzo can see Crockett in

the copilot seat...
