BORBON: You foreign
journalists, always blowing
things out of proportion.

REPORTER 1: I covered
the riot myself, General.

Even if you don't
believe my report,
the camera doesn't lie.

REPORTER 2: Yeah, there's
trouble all over the capital.
Looting, fires being set.

BORBON:
The work of a few thugs,
communists, means nothing.

Report that to the world.

Pardon me, General, maybe...
Perhaps the people are trying
to tell you something.

Your economy
is collapsing, and...

If the people wish to speak,
I will let them.
We are a democracy.

REPORTER 2: What about
the rumors that you
were leaving the country?

Where would I go?
I love my country.

We are an emerging power
in Latin America.

Sure, we have problems.
But nothing we cannot solve.

Pardon me, General,
but I must insist.

Captain Jimendez
takes very good care of me.

Drop in anytime.

Where'd you find him?

At the airport.

How much?

Two million.

You work for Borbon?

What is your name?

Guzman.

Where were you taking
his money, Guzman?

United States. So,
he's planning on leaving
after all.

You're a loyal soldier,
my friend. Loyalty is a trait
I greatly admire.

BORBON: Any word
from the Americans?

JIMENDEZ:
Diplomatic channels are open,

but progress is slow.
Politics.

Push them!

Do they remember how quickly
things changed in Cuba?
The Dominican.

We have to get out of here.
Now!

What is this?

A gift from one of our
Colombian friends.

It arrived
with the afternoon shipment.

"Saludo General.
Business is good

"and only your continued
presence can keep it that way.

"Please accept this gift
as a token
of our appreciation.

"And remember, this is
the only way you'll
ever leave the country."

Poor Guzman!

You see,
they will never let you leave.

The cartel is afraid of
what will happen if you
abandon Costa Morada.

RICO: How about
a little radio?

SONNY: I'm not really
in a rock 'n' roll mood
this morning, Rico.

You party last night?

Tried to.

Almost made it, too.

By 1:00, I convinced myself
I was having a blast.

By 1:15,
I was sound asleep.

(RICO CHUCKLES)

Yeah, social life
in the '80s,
isn't it a kick?

Wonder what's taking
Ramon so long?

Supposed to go in there
and get a suitcase
full of buy money.

At least that's
the tip I got.

There has got to be
a better way for me
to spend my adult life

than be sitting
in an alley eyeballing
some two-bit gangster.

I hear you,
but this is the life, man,
to serve and protect.

Well, there's our turkey.

Yeah, Mr. Johnny Ramon.

Let's do him.

Looks like he's heading
to the causeway.

Frisky little bugger,
isn't he?

Whoa.

What the hell is this?

All right, out of the car.
Come on. Out of the car.
Let's go.

MAN 1: Come on. Hands up.

MAN 2: Move it. Let's go.

Who are you?

Colonel Andrew Baker,

Special Drug Enforcement
Task Force at your service.

You're on our side?

You bet. So's everyone
else here.

Chief? You wanna say hello
to your men.

Chief?

What the hell's going on here?

You know what I know.
I was at a fund-raising
breakfast.

Someone wanted to have a word
with me and then they
threw me in a car.

Once again, my apologies.

Gentlemen, let me
fill you in
on our mission,

which officially
does not exist.

A certain individual
with high level ties
to our government

is about to be brought into
Miami by special arrangement.

Now, this man is in a unique
position to provide us
with valuable information,

extremely
valuable information.

We, and I mean
the entire task force,
regard this man

as the key to penetrating
the Medell�n cartel's
inner-most circle.

General Manuel Borbon.

That's right.

So tell me, what do you
know about him?

Oh, not much.

Only that he's the dictator
of Costa Morada.
They call him "the Butcher."

He killed thousands
of political prisoners.

And his regime is banked
by drug dealers.

He sold out to the cartel
years ago.

Right again.
And now he's gonna
sell out to us.

I'm sure you're all aware
of the unstable political
situation in Costa Morada.

Here, take a look
at these photocopies.

That note was delivered
to Borbon in the coffin
of one of his aides.

Now, it's unsigned,
but we know that
it was sent by a lieutenant

in one of the three
major families
in the Medell�n cartel.

Borbon is scared.
That's why he's ready
to talk about the drug trade

in exchange for our help
in getting him out
before there's a revolution.

You're actually gonna
cut a deal with this snake?

I don't think that's
any of your concern.

What the hell is our concern?

How you're gonna
get him out alive.

Colonel, my men aren't
authorized for this work.

I just gave them
their jurisdiction.

With your extensive
undercover experience,

your intimate familiarity
with the Latin drug trade,
you fit the profile perfectly.

All you have to do is go under
using your standard M.O.,
a couple of drug dealers.

Our contacts in Costa Morada
will supply you with weapons.

So, a couple of drug dealers
are just gonna waltz in there
to the palace

and tell Borbon
his cab's ready.

I think you'll find our plan
is pretty solid, Crockett.

Thanks to the expertise
of our point man,

who recommended you
for the job, incidentally.

Send him in.

RAMON: Look who's here.

You kidding me?

Long time no see.

You letting this punk
call the shots for Uncle Sam?

Mr. Ramon is well connected
in Costa Morada.

Damn right,
he's well connected.

He controls half
the street traffic
on Miami Beach.

Buddy, I ain't never
been convicted. In fact,
I'm a serious patriot.

You're a serious slimeball.

Ooh!

Okay, so you got this chump
stretched.

What is it? Racketeering?
Extortion? Gun-running? What?

Sure, Ramon rolls over
to you for a free walk.

Let's just tighten up,
gentlemen.

This stinks.

Yeah, that's why
I recommended these two guys.

They got brains.

Plus they got integrity.
I love guys with integrity.

You get out of my face.
HIGHSMITH:
Put a lid on it, Crockett!

That's enough!
I'll tear your head off.

That's enough!
Damn it! Both of you!

Put a lid on it, Crockett!

I don't work with scum.

Hey. Hey, listen to me!
It doesn't matter what
we think of these people.

With Borbon's information,
we could cut the drugs off
at their source.

We've only dreamed of
doing that before.

Keep dreaming, Colonel.

Yeah, it's a buck for 44.
What's still up for tonight?

All right. All right.
Iowa minus the 11,

Utah plus four,
Indiana State plus the six.

Give me a dime on each.
Yeah. Yeah, I know
what my figure is.

Look, do you want
the action or not? Okay.

I've been thinking about
Borbon.

No, thanks.

I must have driven a hundred
miles turning it over
and over and over in my head.

At first, I was stunned
by the absurdity.

But then, I approached it
from a different angle.

Don't tell me.
Let me guess.

You figured that if we could
bring in Borbon,

for once we can
really make a difference.

Yeah. I mean Borbon
could blow the whistle

on the cartel's major players.

You think I'm being naive?

No.

No, Rico, I think
you're being hopeful.

Hey, come on, man, admit it.

Wouldn't you just love
to hear Borbon's

little book of players,
names, dates.

Yeah, man.

I bet he could really
give us the who's who
in that dope social register.

You got it.

I'm in it, if you are,
partner.

You know we're suckers, Rico.
'Cause this one ain't no
trip to Cleveland.

In fact, it's probably
suicide.

So what?
You wanna live forever?

I'll probably have to tag
along just keep you from
getting your butt shot off.

Your visas,
the validation dates
are incorrect.

You gotta be kidding me.

No, se�or.

Please follow me.

Se�ores, allow me to be
of service. I am Ramirez.

With the government
Bureau of Tourism.
We have been expecting you.

You're right on time.
Seems like we got a little
bureaucratic problem here.

Oh? Qu� problema?

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Enjoy your visit.

Thank you.

Come this way.
My car is outside.

Quaint local custom.

Don't leave home without it.

So, how did the General
like his little gift?

Made no difference.
He still intends to leave.

Nothing you or I can do
will change that.

The stability of Costa Morada
is essential to our
operations. He leaves,

the rebels seize control.
We lose everything.

It is too late. I've had
to make arrangements with
the Americans to get him out.

The General put me in charge.

In that case,
we have no choice.
You must kill Borbon.

And the American agents, too.

Are you crazy?
What would that accomplish?

It would stop him
from spilling his guts
to the DEA.

Killing the General,
that would be
difficult for me.

We go back a long way.

Loyalty.
I respect and admire loyalty.

Perhaps you'd like to discuss
this with your family.

I believe they're
hiding in the zona rosa
with your mother,

the three little ones
and your lovely wife.

But I'm sure
they'll be safe there

if this little problem
with the General
is taken care of.

So how come we get
the special treatment?

Or does the Department
of Tourism do this
for all its visitors?

We are working for the same
cause. I'm taking you
to meet your contact.

So just settle back
and enjoy the scenery.

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

Your contact is in there.
Just wait here
until I get him.

Do not worry about them.
They are loud but harmless.

Big welcome wagon, hey, Rico?
No kidding.

Get out of here! Now!

Let's get out of here.
Yeah, let's go.

Hop in. Hop in.
Get in the car. Get in.
Get in the car!

My name is Felicia.
I'm your contact.

I hope you work out
better than our last one.

It was not us.
Perhaps you should
look to your own people.

So much for the expertise
of our point man.

General, this situation
is out of control.

What situation?

Your systematic
looting of the treasury.

I can no longer stand by and
watch you pilfer state assets
while our people starve.

Shut your mouth at once!

It is ironic you come to me,

for I have had reports
of your malconduct
in financial matters.

Me? That is laughable,
General. You know too well
who is misappropriating funds.

Ordinarily, I would mount
a full investigation
of your trespass,

but under current conditions,
there is no time
for such actions.

General, what are you doing?

(GUN COCKING)

Electing a new
finance minister.

SONNY: Perfect. Just what
the doctor ordered.

FELICIA: Borbon says
he will be ready
to leave tomorrow night.

We have people
inside the palace
that keep us informed.

It is important for you
to coordinate
with these people.

From what I've seen,
I think we'd better push up
this little party

up to as soon as possible.
Like tonight.

I agree. I will have your
contact meet you at El Coyote.

Good.

Damn well organized.

One of you should
stay with me, go over
our escape route.

Yeah. Well,
I'll meet the contact.

Why don't you
take the tour?

We'll have units
and stations
all along the road.

In case you are followed
to the pier.

Good, because we gotta
make that rendezvous
by 10:00 p.m.,

or the boat leaves
with or without us.

Felicia, I don't mean
to be disrespectful,

but why, why do you go on
fighting like this?

I love my country
and I have faith
that we can make a difference.

Why are you helping Borbon?
The man you're
fighting against.

Too many people
are dying in the revolution.

I believe the bloodshed
will stop.

(MEN SPEAKING SPANISH)

I am Bianca.

And this is
Captain Jimendez.

We arranged to meet you here
because there are spies
everywhere.

You and your partner
must escort the General out
of the palace tomorrow night.

I want to move him tonight.

Tonight?

That's impossible. I'll never
be able to mobilize my men
on such short notice.

Why not? They're all inside
the palace, aren't they?

Yes, but...

I... I don't know
if I can organize them
without causing suspicion.

You better give it your
best shot, Captain, it's like
a nightmare out there.

This little hamlet
could blow at any second.

He's right, Jimendez.

I don't like it.

But I suppose you're right.

This Montoya, the maniac who
sent the General the coffin,
he wants blood.

The General is hosting
a cocktail party tonight for
several important businessmen.

He hopes to restore their
confidence in his regime.

After dinner, a movie will
be shown. That will be the
perfect opportunity to escape.

Here's a map of the grounds.
It shows where
the sentries are posted.

You will come over
the south wall by the trees.

We will have the General
waiting for you
in the rear garden.

I'll brief the others.
Can you make sure
the General's ready to go?

Yes, I'll see to it.

I'm the General's daughter.

(MEN SPEAKING SPANISH)

You know, I really believe
in what you're doing.
What you're trying to do.

Do you?
Yeah.

You know, back where I came
from in the Bronx, we had
a lot of the same problems.

Poverty, drugs, gangs.

Of course, it's still not
as bad as things are here,
but a war zone.

But I can see in your face,
Detective, that you still
love that place.

Yeah?

Maybe. Maybe I do.

There is much
to do, Detective.

Rico.

Yeah.

All right. It's all set.
We move Borbon tonight.

Can you get Felicia
and round up the ammunition,
and the getaway?

No problem. All we gotta do
is radio the boat
and get them here tonight.

I'll talk to Felicia.
Great.

So, you're a nurse, too?

Is there anything
you don't do?

I just try to make
myself useful, Detective.

Sister, you are needed
to assist the doctor.

Yes, Father.

Sister.

SONNY: You're
kidding me. A nun.

Well, that part doesn't
bother me. I think she's
a fantastic woman.

A different kind of woman.

I mean, in spite of all
the pain and suffering

and all the crap
that Borbon has done,

she's still willing
to do her part
to get him out of here.

Just on the chance that maybe
it might make things better.

It's amazing.

Well, listen, man,
I went over the plans.
They look clean.

The only wild card is Montoya.

Now, according to Jimendez,
he could move
at any time, anywhere.

Well, that was a good move
for you to change
the call for tonight,

'cause by tomorrow,
this whole country
could be a bad dream.

Yeah. It's ironic.

Borbon bleeds a country dry

and then the only people he
can trust are the guerrillas
trying to overthrow him.

Yeah, man, it's politricks.

Felicia seems solid,

but Jimendez...

What about him?

I don't know.

He seemed shaky when I
told him we were gonna
move it up to tonight.

Like I'd thrown him
a curve or something.

I don't know,
something's funny.

Well, hell, man,
he's caught in the middle
of a revolution.

That's enough to make
anybody nervous.

Yeah. Maybe you're right.
Let's get ready.

JIMENDEZ: You have
your instructions.

Hide in the garden
until I trigger the alarm.
Stay well hidden.

When they get to
the rear gate, I will give
the signal to open fire.

Be sure to kill the General
and the Americans.

No one must escape.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

SONNY: Jimendez says the best
place to go over the wall
is right down there.

So to hell with that,
let's go over here.

RICO: Looks like someone's
sending a welcome committee.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in, Bianca.

You look so handsome
in your uniform.

This is a most
unexpected pleasure.

It's a pity that you
dressed so soon.

Do you like that?

What are you trying to do,
Bianca? Kill me?

I heard you.
You are planning
to kill my father.

Your father's a fool!

You were his friend!

I tried to warn him
what would happen
if he left the country.

Traidor!

Let me go. Just let me alone!
Shut up!

Perhaps I should kill you
as well.

But you're young, and stupid.

Stay here.
Stay out of this,
and you won't get hurt.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(LOCK CLICKING)

Good evening.
Good to see you.

Where is Bianca?

She asked me to tell you
that she has a headache.

Welcome.
But she will
join you shortly.

So nice to see you again.
Good evening.

BORBON: The media
exaggerates. My army
is in complete control

and we will crush
the communist guerrillas
and restore order.

I promise you
that Costa Morada

will remain a safe
and profitable environment

as long as I am president.

But even in times as troubled
as these, we must not forget
the everyday pleasures.

So? If you'll join me,

I have a special
entertainment for you.

WOMAN: Gracias.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Where's Bianca?

She's waiting for you
in the van. Hurry.

Don't move.

Who are you?
What are you doing?

We're your ticket
out of here, General.
But your partner here,

he wanted to put us all
in permanent exile.
Didn't you, pal?

It's not true.

Oh, yeah?

Then how do you explain
this little hit team waiting
right down the road here?

See, General, I must be losing
it a little bit in my old age

'cause I should have
picked it up.

Only someone very close
to Montoya

could have known that
he was the one that sent
the note in the coffin.

Not to mention the fact
that you dragged your heels

when I wanted to get
the General out sooner.

Oh, yeah, you're bought
and paid for, buddy,
by the cartel.

No, no, no.
This man is my friend.

No, Father, he isn't.

No, come on.
We gotta move now. Move!
Let's go.

RICO: Come on. Let's go.

(MEN YELLING)

Go, go, go!

R�pido! R�pido!

MAN: R�pido!

Felicia! Felicia!

Felicia!
Rico, come on, she's gone,
man. Let's go.

Went clean in and clean out.
We don't need this anymore.

As long as we can keep
the bleeding stopped,
he should be all right.

God that was close back there.
Another couple of
minutes and he...

Yeah. Would have really been
a heartbreaker, wouldn't it?

So, how long you figure
till we hit the seaplane?

The way things been going,
pal, I think we better do it
on our own.

We got enough fuel,
probably make it to Miami
in a couple of days.

I'll check upstairs.

Thank you for saving
my father's life, Detective.

I know what you must think
of him. Most men would have
let him die.

Yeah, well, it's part
of the job description.

I learned a long time ago
you can't let personal
feelings get in the way.

Trouble is, after a while,
you can't feel
anything at all.

I think your problem
is just the opposite,
you feel too much.

BAKER: Well, Chief,
you'll be pleased to know

that Crockett and
Tubbs have got Borbon out.

They'll be rendezvousing
with the seaplane
in a couple of hours.

HIGHSMITH:
Well, that's great, Baker.
But I got news for you.

I got reliable sources
and they tell me

there are Colombian
hit teams out
looking for you.

Yeah, yeah.
We heard that rumor, too.
So far it's unsubstantiated.

What are you gonna
do about it?

We're gonna stash Borbon
in a safe house

until we can transport him
west for debriefing.

No way.
Forget about it, Colonel.

I'm not gonna allow you
to turn the streets of
my city into a butcher shop,

just to protect
some dictator.

Forget about it!

I'm afraid it's not
your call, Chief.

The hell it isn't!

I understand
you harbor certain
political aspirations.

So? So what? What of it?

I have these very important
friends in the national GOP.

And if you want to run for
anything more prestigious
than dogcatcher,

you're gonna need their help.

BAKER: You violated orders,
hotshot!

The seaplane was waiting.
Where the hell were you?

SONNY: Listen, pal,
your damned orders
damn near got us killed.

I figured we had
a better shot on our own.

What're you talking about?

Somebody set us up!

Borbon took a bullet
to prove it.

Well, what do you mean?
Where is he?

He's fine. He's recovering
nicely. We got him
stashed in a safe house.

Something smells
in your organization, Baker.

Till you find out
what it is,
we're gonna keep him.

Wait a minute, mister.
You don't dictate
policy to me!

I'll hang you both out to dry!

You do it, and you'll never
see the General again.

The Colombians have got
a price on his head!
You just don't get it.

Well, if anything happens
to him, you're out of
the game, permanently.

Yeah? Well, we'll take
the chances. In the meantime,
you wanna do something?

Check out your pal, Ramon.

BORBON: How long are we
to be locked up here?
This was not my deal!

BIANCA: Calm down, Father!
The Americans are doing
what they can.

You dare take
their side over me,
after all I've done for you?

Father, I'm just trying
to help you.

Father, I want to talk to you!

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Welcome back
to fun central, boys.

What's happening?

How're things
in the real world?

Status quo, Trudy.

Baker's about to bust a gut.
How's the houseguest?

GINA: They're fine.

I'll tell you one thing,
we took so many wrong turns,
I almost got lost.

Thanks for standing guard,
ladies. Why don't you go home
and get some rest?

We'll see you later.

No problem.

(WHISTLING)

Can't find the top
to this thing.

You look as rough as I feel.

I was thinking about Felicia.

That was a tough one.

There's just something
about it, Sonny. I...

She died. Hey, man,
it could have been me.

It's just something
I can't shake. It's like...

Like maybe I might not make
it through this one.

Listen, man, you gotta
put that behind you.

I know it was tough.

They call that survivor guilt.
I saw a lot of that
in Vietnam.

It was bad news, man.
We gotta... Rico!

Rico?

Yeah, I'm okay.
You all right?

Yeah.
Switek, you all right?

Yeah.

Borbon?

Borbon!

Where is he?

I don't know.

Damn it, he's gone!
I got the back.

(CRYING)

How's she doing?

Well, she's pretty shaken up.

Listen, I'll notify
the coroner's office
about our playmates here.

Thanks, Stan. Damn.

Now, how in the hell'd
they find out where we were?

This is our safe house,
our play.

The Lieutenant
was the only one
who knew where we were.

The only one outside
of this house.

Somebody from the inside?
But who?

While you were gone
this afternoon, I overheard
my father make a call.

To who?

I don't know.

Bianca, think. Think.

I don't know, believe me.
And I don't question
my father about his business.

You don't question him
about... How long are you
gonna turn your head?

Take a look at this. Huh?
Does this look like
some sort of a game to you?

Let me tell you something.

Your father made a deal
to roll on the cartel

and by God I'm going to see
that he keeps that deal!

If we don't find him,

the Colombians will.
You think about that.

There is one thing.

When I was at school
in Switzerland, my father
would send me checks

from a bank here in Miami.

RICO: What bank?

I don't remember.

What was the name
of the school?

Universit� de Paix in Geneva.

Thank you.

Holly, I got some food.

Good evening, Detective.

Look, if you guys
are peddling encyclopedias,
I already got a set.

Guess who bought the paper
on your gambling debts?

I'm trying to pay you guys
as fast as I can.

We're not interested
in dollars, amigo.

What we need
is information.

About what?

Borbon.
Where are they hiding him?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I think you are a liar.

Yeah? So sue me.

I think you will tell us,
Detective.

The only question is when.

You guys gotta let me go.

If I don't show up for work,
they're gonna call
the whole thing off.

Listen, did...
Bianca's school
in Switzerland,

did they confirm that it
was the same bank account
that Borbon used?

GINA: Borbon's all right.

A courier came in to withdraw
$50,000 right after you
talked to the manager.

He's stalling her now.

All right. Tell him we'll
be there in two minutes.
Let's go.

Tell him you'll let him know
when we're in position.

What's she look like?

Okay, Gina, we're there.
Let her go.

I bet Borbon's closing
bank accounts all over town.

Well, well, well.
It's nice to see

the General hasn't been
suffering too much
on the lam.

Yeah.

I bet what she sees in him
is right there in that bag.

I've never seen so much money.
It just gives me chills.

Now we can go anywhere.

No one will ever find us.

Yes, darling.
We go where people live right.

I will send for you, hmm?

Surprise, surprise, General.

Get dressed.

You got a date
to spill your guts. Remember?

I will not go with you.
Your protection
almost cost me my life.

Blame yourself.
That little call you made

dialed in a hit
on the safe house.

Phone call?

I called my accountant.
I'm a fugitive. I need money.

Yeah, well then you better
call in an audit.
Check his spreadsheets.

Max Flynn? No. No.

Yeah, well somebody did.
Now move it.

You want to see me,
Lieutenant?

Yeah.

I just got a phone call
from Crockett and Tubbs.

They found Borbon.

In Little Havana.

Alive?

Yeah.

A hit team was
waiting for them
when they picked up Borbon.

It's a miracle
they're all alive.

Must be a leak somewhere.

Yeah.

Stan, I've known you
for a long time.

We've worked together
for years now.

So you'll know how hard
this is for me to ask you.
Do you know anything about it?

Lieutenant, are you joking?

I'm a cop.

You're also
a compulsive gambler.

I've known about this
for a long time.

I should have talked to you
about it, but I didn't.

An addiction like that,
a man in your position,
you're vulnerable.

Now, I'll ask you again.

Did someone get to you?

Absolutely not!

I'm clean now.

And even if I were dirty,

I'd never give up
my partners.

I can't take the risk.

As of right now,
you're suspended indefinitely
until further investigation.

Thanks a lot.

You ought to know
the Detective
set it up for us.

MONTOYA: Shut up.
Just bring out the General.

This time,
you don't come out
with Borbon's head,

don't come out at all.

Don't sweat it.
I'll get him.

Hi, guys. You remember me?
Well, you've put me
in a real terrible spot.

You just got lucky tailing
Borbon's girlfriend
from the bank.

But my Lieutenant
thinks I sold him out.

Can you imagine what
that could do to my career?

I mean, it's hard enough
trying to get a promotion

without your boss thinking
you're on the take.

And I'm
a pretty talented guy.

Besides surveillance,
I'm pretty handy
with explosives.

You want a demonstration?
It's on the house.

See, I rigged this place
with enough C4 to blow you
guys back to Costa Morada.

What I'm gonna do here
to you guys is

I'm gonna give you
the old-fashioned
countdown routine

and let you figure out
if it's for real

or just old Stan
making up some wacky joke.

Here we go. Ten,

nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Sorry, guys. I was bluffing.

Now freeze,
'cause you're all going in.

All of a sudden,
you're so serious, Stanley.

That's right, Paco,
I'm feeling pretty ugly.

The way you set it up,
I don't have much to lose.

So don't try anything stupid
like a shootout.

I don't know about you,
partner,

but I am damn tired
of dodging these bullets.

No kidding,
especially on account
of a prize like Borbon.

Yeah, tell me about it.

You figure it was Borbon's
accountant who set up
the hitters this time, too?

I don't know.

You mean you actually
catch fish with these?

You don't just catch fish,

you achieve a oneness
with them because

where there's plankton
there's fish.

But I sense that you are
not here in pursuit of
piscatorial pleasures.

Your personal aurora
or jugress

reveals a life force of great
sensitivity on the spiritual
and physical planes.

You're a perfect candidate for
my clothing-optional retreat
in Ambos Mundos, Havana.

I can't wait to see what kind
of scam our cosmic healer's
got today.

Yeah, right.

I can see that you live
in the here and now.

Edge city as described
by Sal Paradise.

And if you and your past
selves decide to attend,

Baba Ram lzzy will personally
handle all of your channeling.

Sorry to interrupt, Swami,
we need to have a little chat.

Excuse us, lady.

But what about my channeling?

RICO: Buy cable, it's cheaper.

Step into my office,
don't mind the smell.

Do you see this?

I got her seven centers
of esoteric energies

just spinning
in complete harmony.

Well, you can scratch her
I Ching some other time.

Right now we want
some answers.

Caesar Montoya's been
drafting local talent
for a private war.

You know any of 'em?

When the cartel
is making inquiries,

I hang up the phone, okay.

Don't pollute my consciousness
with these negative energies.

Would you like maybe I should
take you on a life regression
back to the slam?

Don't be a badge flasher
with a power complex, okay?

I don't know.
I can't do this anymore.

I can't threaten you anymore.
Here, lzzy,
just take the money.

Tell me what you know.
We'll make it easy.

Well, Johnny Miranda
is recruiting
for Montoya's army.

He's...
Well, he's offering
bust insurance.

Johnny Miranda?
Right.

(STAMMERING)

And there's a dental plan
involved. And I can really
keep this, huh?

Absolutely not.
You're off the hook for now.

Thanks, lzzy.

Hey, I really don't need
your protection program, okay,

but thanks a lot
for asking.

I'll just go back to Cuba.

All right, call it.
Johnny Miranda
or Borbon's accountant.

Definitely Miranda.

I'm tired of chasing
that bean counter.

Man, I don't wanna
talk to an accountant.

See you back at OCB.

You owe me a quarter.

WOMAN:
Hey, you can't go in there.

I been looking for you,
Miranda.

And now you found me.
So get lost.

I hear you're the man to see
about the Montoya contract.

Montoya?

I never heard of the man. Me,
I run an employment agency.

Helping people make a living
is my passion.

There's still a lot of hunger
in this America, you know.
It's tragic.

It's funny.

But I just lost
my sense of humor
a couple days ago.

Where's Montoya?

I said, where's Montoya?

Who the hell are you?

He's one of the men
you are trying to kill.

Sonny, here's the file
from Borbon's accountant.

He say anything?

Yeah, we had
a real interesting chat.

Real interesting.

Yeah, well, goodnight.

If you need anything,
I'll be at home.

Yeah, thanks.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Crockett. Crockett.

(RICO COUGHING)

RICO: Sonny.
Yeah, Rico?

Yeah, listen don't listen
to 'em.

What's the matter, man?
Where are you?

Your friend's with me,
Montoya, Detective.

If you don't deliver Borbon
within 12 hours,
your friend is dead.

(PHONE CLICKS)

SONNY: Hiya, Chief.

Detective Crockett?

What's going on?

Well, Chief,

I just got a phone call

from a man that says
he has my partner.

And if I don't come across
with Borbon in 12 hours,

he's gonna make Rico suffer
and then kill him.

That's terrible.

I can understand
how badly you feel about that.

Can you?

Well, that's good.

'Cause then you won't mind
telling me where he is,
will you?

Where he is?

I wish I knew, believe me.

Oh, I believe you know
where he is.

I just had a real
interesting conversation

with one of the great
financial minds
of the Western world.

Your accountant, Max Flynn.

You attempting to scare me?

Scare you? No.

See, Max may be very good
with numbers,

but he's not exactly
Mr. Integrity.

He sold out Borbon to Montoya.

And then he sold out
you to me.

It's all right here.

Every damn payment that
Montoya ever made to you.

That evidence was coerced.

It's worthless in court.
You should know that.

No. No, I don't think
it's worthless.

Not for a man like yourself.

Not for a man
with political ambitions.

I think it would be very hard
for the voting public
to understand

how a public servant

pulling down what,

80K a year,

could have a second
home in the Bahamas,
a string of luxury cars,

a pair of fillies that
never even finished
in the money.

You're burned out,
Crockett, you know?

You're delirious.

(SCREAMS)

Yeah.

You're right.

I'm burned out.

My brain is like Swiss cheese.

I have no idea
what I might do.

You're crazy.

You got it.

And if you don't tell me
where those boys
have my partner,

I'm gonna turn that nice
pretty wall right there

into
an expressionist painting.

Your colleagues place
little value on your life,
Detective.

You go to hell.

You are dead, amigo,

only you don't know it!

Hey, somebody's coming.

STAN ON RADIO: Hey, Sonny,
what's he doing? We don't
have the backups yet.

Montoya! It's me.
Highsmith.

We need to talk.

Highsmith.
That fool shouldn't be here.

Bring Tubbs out on the steps

where I can see
he's still alive,
then I'll give you Borbon.

I think you show me
Borbon first,

then you can see Tubbs.

No. No way.

I gotta see him alive first,
otherwise, it's no deal.

Get him up.

Your detective is coming
to the door.

All in one piece.

Get ready, we're only
gonna get one shot.

Try anything
and I'll blow your head off.

MONTOYA: You see Detective
Tubbs, now give us Borbon.

Kill them!

Switek!

Move, move, move,
let's go.

Hey, thanks, partner.

RICO: We're getting
out of this, Borbon.
We're turning you over.

Your superiors are gonna
hear about this, Detective.

Listen, pal, you just better
hope the witness protection
people

put you some place safe, like
Fort Knox or Mount Everest
or somewhere.

Or I might come
looking for you.

(CHUCKLING)

Heads up, Rico.

Is there a problem?

There's been a security leak,
Detective.
Compton Point's too hot.

We've been ordered by Baker
to escort you to
a new exchange location.

No way, pal. Not until I get
some sort of confirmation.

Now you move those cars
out of our way.

How's this
for confirmation?

Put your gun on the dash.

Do it!

Let's get out of the car.

Should have known you were
playing both sides
of the street.

Don't take it personal.
It's not about you.

You won't regret this.

Shut your mouth.
Let's take a walk.

We had a deal.

Cartel made me a better one.

You traitor.

(GUN FIRING)

Dead or alive,
it don't matter to me.

As long as they see the body,
I get the cash.

Hate to hit and run.

SONNY: So, they found Borbon
at the bottom of a ditch.

Charred like Gina's meatloaf.

Yeah, the right place for him.

Rico,

get this on the General's
autopsy report.

There was a mole on the right
arm above the elbow.
Surgery for hearing.

Scar on the right ankle.
But it doesn't say anything
about the gunshot wound.

That was a fresh wound.

Yeah.
They should have
noticed that.

Mmm-hmm, they should have.

Dr. Simmons.

Yeah, Doctor, this is
Detective Crockett.

I wanna ask you
a question about the autopsy

you performed on
General Borbon.
Who?

There was...
What general?

On General Manuel Borbon,
there was a gunshot...

Detective, I didn't perform
an autopsy today.

It's been kind of slow,
actually.

Detective?
Detective Crockett?

Thank you.

Sorry, boys.
You're too late.

Where is he?

He split.
Left me at the alter.
Didn't even say goodbye.

Yes, he tricked me,
just like he and Baker
tricked you two.

So Baker's in on it,
too, huh?

Sure, honey.

He was the one behind Borbon's
fake death. He hired Ramon,

paid off the coroner's
assistant.

So, as long as we believed
that Borbon was dead,

the hitters would stop, huh?

They'd lay off. But why?

I don't know for sure.

Borbon said they were
being nice to him because
he knew something about

someone high up
in the government,
very high up.

Let's face it, partner,
we've been dropped
in the trick bag.

The G-boys were gonna
turn him loose all along.

Where is he now?

I can't tell you.

You'd be surprised
what you can do

when you set your mind to it.

Ready?

One thing,

you know, the feds are out
protecting Borbon.

If we could go against them
and go get him,
then we can hang it up.

No pension, buddy.

So what?

I never figured
to make 65 anyway.

Borbon's got the goods
on the cartel.

That's the deal we made
and by God that's
the deal we're gonna keep.

Let's do it.

What is it?

I don't know.

I got that funny feeling
again.

Look, Sonny,
if I don't make it, man,
I just want you to know...

Don't. Don't
even think about it.

Don't think about it.

Now we're just gonna go do
what we gotta do.

Borbon.

Kill them.

V�monos!

Ready? Let's go.

Rico?

Rico?

RICO: I'm all right.

Hey, what the hell
have you done?

Just swatted an insect.

You got a problem with it?

Yeah, I got a problem.

Borbon was working for us.
He was gonna give us
names.

But not the name,
right, Baker?

This whole damn mess
was a setup from the get.

What a couple of lightweights.

What, do you think this is
cops and robbers?

It's not about your
personal sense of justice.

What's it about, Baker?

Is it about protecting
dictators and letting
drug dealers go free?

Is that it?

Take a look at the map,
Crockett.

Real estate's turning red
all over this hemisphere.

Your brand of law and order
went out with Wyatt Earp.

There's only two things
that count,

American interests
and anything
that's counter to 'em.

You're what's
counter to it, Baker.

You and all those slick
deal-making lawyers.

I don't make policy.
I enforce it.

And cover it up
when it goes wrong.

That's right,
and I got carte blanche, babe.

I could shoot you
right now, easy.

Pin it on Borbon.
No one's ever gonna
ask any questions.

Do it. If you got the stones.

Hey, punk! Cowboy!

I'm gonna have your badges
for this. That's a promise!

It's not over, Crockett.

You don't have to do this.

It's been a long time coming,
anyway.

I'll back you.

Thanks, Lieutenant,
but there's no other way.

Think about this.

What're you doing here?

I figured you'd be halfway
to New York by now.

Everything always takes
longer than you think.

Well, we had one hell of
a run, didn't we, partner?

Yeah, we sure did, Sonny.

So, you really gonna go back
up to the big bad Bronx?

Yeah, it looks that way.

How about you?

I don't know.

Somewhere further south.

Somewhere where the water's
warm and the drinks are cold

and I don't know
the names of the players.

I'm gonna miss you, man.

I'm gonna miss you,
too, Sonny.

Can I give you a ride
to the airport?

Why not?

In my stolen car.

SONNY: Hey, Tubbs,
you ever consider a career
in southern law enforcement?

RICO: Maybe.

Maybe.

(BOTH LAUGHING)
