Miami Vice s02e07 Episode Script

Tale of the Goat

This is a fantastic place.
- Are you sure you got girls like this? - Yeah, we got girls like that.
- And like this? - Like that.
Who is she? She is hot.
She's so hot, she's already boiling, waiting on you.
- What about her? - Her? Frenchy La Flame.
Is this gonna go down or what? Any time.
Rico's on the inside.
Hey, you know what? I sure would like to have one of these for myself.
Most people would.
Nigerian.
No kidding.
So am I.
That's how I got my name.
I used to bring this stuff in.
You know, pure, ivory snowflakes.
Snowflakes so pure, like your girls? Right, every single one.
- Ready? - I'm ready.
Frenchy.
(Ivory) Get her there.
- You sure? - (Tubbs) Yeah.
Really sure? I'm positive, man.
She's got real good hands, you know what I mean? Right.
Oh, I like that.
- Where is he wearing his mic anyhow? - You don't want to know.
Yeah, but what happens when he takes all his clothes off? (Stan) I'm turning in my headset.
(Radio Chattering) (Frenchy) Hello, Rico.
She sounds very nice.
What's a four-lettered word for "dirt"? Mudsand.
Sand.
Sand.
(Frenchy) What about a little trip? (Crashing) Crockett, we need some backup right away.
(Crockett) Get in.
She bit me.
She bit me! What did you do to her, huh? I threw her in the mirror.
Gave her a good look at herself.
Well, that's very bad luck.
Seven years' worth of it.
(Frenchy) Ivory, I need some help in here.
What's happening? - He threw one of your girls into a mirror.
- She bit me! What do you want me to do, call the cops? Get out of here.
Let's go check.
- Hey, where you going? - She bit me.
Get down there.
Get down! (Crockett) Gina, if he moves, bite him again.
- You got it.
- She bit me.
He said you got carried away and bit him.
What's your name? No name? - Hey, come on.
Everybody's got a name.
- Not that one.
- Rico, you need any help? - No.
Who are you guys? Miami Vice, pal.
Dirt, that's your name.
- That's it.
- What? A four-lettered word for dirt: "Vice".
(Sobbing) Don't tell him.
Please.
Please.
Don't tell him.
Can't get her to stop crying.
She just keeps saying, "Don't tell him".
- Him? - I don't know.
(Martin) She makes any phone calls? (Gina) No, she doesn't want to.
She's really strung out.
- What do we got in the other room? - Some guy named Ivory.
Ivory.
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
We got a problem.
Heavy leakage from "Radio Marti".
Tubbs didn't make it through the anti-Castro rap.
That's what happened.
How it happened is another question.
- Bottom line? - Zip.
(Martin) Doesn't matter.
We've got something better.
We've got Ivory Jones.
Retired smuggler.
He used to work for Juan Carlos Silva.
I'll get Silva's file.
So she offered you a trip? Do I look like a travel agent? You used to do a lot of traveling.
(Crockett) You two know each other? (Martin) That's Ivory Jones.
Ivory arranged passports for Vietnamese women during the war.
Married them to military men, $5000 apiece.
Then he brought them in to work the brothels.
Check the passports of all the girls at his club.
Yeah, but I'm pure now.
(Crockett) Yeah.
Just like cocaine.
Before it's been stepped on.
How's your friend Silva? (Ivory) Former friend.
We came to a parting of ways.
It looks like you still have something in common.
Like what? Rosella Maestres.
The girl who would be "Jaws"? What's her connection with Silva? Ask her.
Count on it.
(Martin) What is your relationship to this man? We know who he is and what he does.
The hospital notified him that you're here.
Juan Carlos Silva is dead to me.
That's fine.
Who is he? I hate him.
I grew up in his house.
Does he know that you're tricking for Ivory Jones? No.
I ran away from Silva and Berto and their games, the horses, the cars, the boats.
Berto? Roberto Penaro.
(Martin) Silva's protege, the other man in the picture.
Frankenstein's monster.
Silva has been grooming him to take over the business.
(Tubbs) So you went over to Ivory Jones to punish Silva.
- (Tubbs) Is that it? - No.
- To escape, to hide.
- To hide? In a massage parlor? Right.
No, you did it.
And you made a point of doing it for Silva.
You wanted to push it into his face, you wanted to punish him, didn't you? No.
Chill out, buddy.
(Crockett) Sounds to me like a rough deal.
When did you buy the monkey? About six months ago when while I was still with Silva.
My first attempt to escape.
I want to quit, I do.
I just I just need it.
I could use a shot now.
- I want to help you.
- Take it easy.
Relax.
It'll pass, trust me.
(Rosella) Just one, please.
(Crockett) Just relax.
If you wanna help, you gotta start by dealing with the monkey.
I need just one more.
You need to make some decisions.
It's not that simple.
You don't understand.
(Crockett) Hang in there.
You're gonna be okay.
You gotta have a little faith.
Visiting hours are over, gentlemen.
I thought that visiting hours ended in about a half an hour.
They end when I say so.
(Doctor) Besides, she needs to sleep.
I think she meant it.
I think she does wanna work with us.
Well, if you ask me, Rosella's a spoiled brat who could be real nightmare to work with.
You don't like flowers? Where have you been? You're looking more and more like Senor Silva every day, Berto.
What else did you bring? Poppies.
Want some? Get out of here.
You can't quit cold turkey.
You got to taper it off.
Hmm? Just one hit.
(Gina) These are surveillance photographs of the funeral of Enrico Acalde.
Last month, courtesy of the "Untouchables".
Feds have been trying to get to Silva for about a year and a half now but he covers his tracks too well.
(Tubbs) Who was Acalde? Silva's business partner, and Rosella's intended.
No wonder she's trying to kill the pain.
(Stan) Natural causes? (Scoffs) Yeah, congenital car bomb.
Over the past six months, there's been a number of deaths accidental and otherwise, in Silva's organization.
FBI thinks it could be internal purge.
Well, that's one way to cover your tracks.
(Larry) Right, kill the lawn to get to the weeds.
This is what Rosella meant by "Silva's games".
The man is a competition junkie.
(Gina) And Roberto Penaro was taught to be his main competitor.
Cars, boats, planes, soldiers of fortune always trying to top each other.
Apparently, it gets dangerous.
Oh, like me and Lar? Oh, please.
Yeah, Penaro's the one we think that slipped Rosella out of the hospital last night.
- Took her back home sweet home.
- Against her will? She said she wanted to help us.
She would have said anything, man, to feed that monkey.
Anything.
(Martin) It doesn't matter.
We have a line on Silva, and I don't want to let it slip away.
Can we trust Rosella not to interfere? - Worth a try.
- No.
Monkey or no monkey, I think we can work with this girl.
I mean, we don't have a choice, man.
We got to take the chance.
Even if she blows our cover to Silva, so what? Maybe we'll get some movement on this guy.
(Ivory) A trade, is that it? You were always a good trader, Ivory.
Three of the girls that are working for you are in this country illegally.
I've talked to Immigration.
They say any service you can render may alter their view of you.
So what do you want from me? Juan Carlos Silva.
You're crazy.
I was lucky to get out of there alive.
So crazy you could afford to turn out Rosella? He'd be interested in that.
So what do you want? I want you to go back to work for him.
I want to know when, where, and how he moves his drugs.
Then I want you to bring in one of our men with you.
And you'll cover me with the girl? - (Tubbs) What's bringing you down, man? - The girl being back with this guy.
I feel sorry for her.
Come on, this ain't exactly no ghetto.
I don't think this is just another screwed-up junkie rich girl, Rico.
She wanted out, she must have had a reason.
Something really heavy is going on with her.
I don't know what it is, but I got a bad feeling about it.
Hey, don't sweat it, man.
Living is easy.
And dig the house.
('80s Rock Music Playing) I'm glad you're back.
I'm not.
I was just passing by and I saw you.
- (Silva) You're beautiful, Rosella.
- You disgust me.
- Let me go.
- You're so hot.
Let me go.
I've told Roberto everything.
He said that if you touch me again, you'd have to answer to him.
Roberto? Roberto is a little boy.
He can't control me any more than you can.
What if I tell him to kill you? He'd do it for me.
You're hurting me.
- Come on, give me one kiss.
- No.
You promised no more.
I promised no more if you didn't wish.
- You're hurting me.
- One kiss.
One.
One.
(Crockett) Ivory says it's never the same way twice.
Open-sea buoy with a bale of felony powder and a radio homing device.
Boat to boat boat to land.
A hundred and one ways to move contraband.
And this is a beach.
Very funny.
I'm tired, man.
When I get tired, I get weird.
Why don't we just bust these chumps on the first run? Come on, Rico you don't think Silva's dumb enough to be hanging out with this relay.
Do you? - Here they come, chief.
- Good.
I don't get it.
- Is he cheating us? - No.
- I don't get it.
- You don't have to.
(Man Chattering In Spanish) (Seagulls Cawing) A good trip.
A very good trip.
Why don't you wear a neon sign and advertise that we're here? (Boat Engine Running) (Roberto) Maybe next time I will, old man.
Getting timid, eh? Rosella doesn't think so.
One more trip.
One more trip, and I bet you a bottle of Dom I can go out and come back in seven minutes, huh? Expensive tastes that you got.
Who gave them to me? $50000.
Don't drop them in the ocean.
Small change.
(Roberto) Let's go.
(Boat Engine Running) Catch of the day.
Let's get out of here.
You know, it seems an awful waste of talent.
I thought you liked him.
I did.
Is this thing rigged up? I rigged the briefcase myself.
(Female Auctioneer) Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll turn your attention to lot 27 in your program we have the distinct good fortune to be able to offer a one of a kind specifically designed for the discriminating offshore hunter.
Launched in the spring of 1984 at Saint Petersburg the "Pirouette" features four double state rooms the master state room and a fly bridge bar all elegantly presented in a surrounding (Tubbs) Are you sure Silva's gonna show? (Ivory) Sure.
I'm telling you, Silva will show.
This guy was his competition and the narcs busted him.
Now he has to sell some of his fleet to pay off some of his legal fees.
Uh-huh.
So Silva's sticking it to him by buying some of his moving parts.
(Crockett) Hardball in the big leagues.
Is there any problem with you reconnecting back with this dude? Easy.
He always said I had good timing and it seems that some of his buddies met with a few accidents.
- Oh, right.
- Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, no kidding.
- We caught that.
- We heard.
Yeah, I figured you guys knew all about that.
Firsthand.
You find out who got cremated? Not enough parts to put back together.
It was Roberto.
Hey, would he tell you that? No, his boat's missing, he's missing, some of his crew is missing.
Dig that.
(Audience Clapping) "The Iceman cometh".
(Female-Auctioneer) Lot 28, the "Lauderdale Lady".
Launched in Fort Lauderdale on the 4th of July this freedom-minded, custom-designed and outfitted 61-foot motor yacht is currently berthed right here in the "Miami" Marina for instant and convenient delivery to this afternoon's top bidder.
Well, apparently, he hasn't spread the news yet.
I wonder what he's gonna tell Rosella when he does.
He's gone fishing, or something silly like that.
Yeah, I'm still concerned about what she's gonna tell him.
(Female-Auctioneer) 3-foot retractable earth station.
Watch that big cabin cruiser.
(Ivory) He has a thing about them.
What's the deal? They're not fast or even pretty.
(Female-Auctioneer) The cockpit has undergone - King-size bed in the master cabin.
- (Laughs) The captain's wheel is six centuries old and was retrieved from a Spanish trade vessel.
We're going to start the bidding at 200000.
Mr.
Frederick? (Frederick) We'll open the bidding at $200000.
And I have $200000.
Going for 250, please.
$250000 for the lovely "Lauderdale Lady".
$275000.
Going 300.
- He's a sore loser.
- So am I.
(Frederick) 325, please, for the lovely "Lauderdale Lady".
$350000, please.
Look, you better not push too far.
(Frederick) Do I see 350? I do.
He might leave you holding.
Get him to buy it for lots and lots of money.
Secret to success, Rico whether it's women or money is knowing when to quit.
(Frederick) $450000 I ought to know, I'm divorced and broke.
(Frederick) $475000 for the lovely "Lauderdale Lady".
And I have 475.
sold! And the "Lauderdale Lady" goes right over there.
(Female-Auctioneer) Thank you, Mr.
Frederick.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll turn your attention - to lot 31 - (Exhales) located on page 12.
You sure he's not into guys? (Crockett) He's flashing his big browns.
He loves competition.
He likes to challenge young guys and then destroy them.
Well, he's come to the right neighborhood.
The game begins.
From Mr.
Silva.
He regrets you had to lose out at the auction.
Give that to the fish.
Send Mr.
Silva a magnum with my compliments.
The name's Burnett.
Mr.
Burnett wishes you to have this with his compliments.
Which gentleman is he? (Silva) You like competition, Sonny? Is there anything else? I bet you like the horses.
(Crockett) Considerably more than they like me.
What I really like is offshore boat racing.
- I've got a "Scarab".
- That's a nice toy.
You've made some interesting new friends, Ivory.
It's a matter of timing.
I've got a toy of my own.
Perhaps you and I could race.
Sure, why not? We could lay out a 10-mile course I'll give you a half-mile head start.
Hey, you know you remind me of a protege of mine, Roberto Penaro.
I'd like to meet him sometime.
Um, tonight I'm having some people over to the house.
Perhaps you and your friends would like to join us.
Roberto should be back from fishing by then.
I've made other plans.
We'd love to.
A man should always have plans, Ivory.
("Slave To Love" Playing) I'm pleased you could join us.
We wanted to be here.
That's the secret: to want.
Then anything in life is possible.
That's easy for you to say.
Come with me.
You know what that is? Looks like an original.
(Silva) That's my history.
That's the house where I was born where I slept with my brothers and sisters and the chickens, and the dogs, and the goats.
Now they're all on canvas.
Must be worth about 200 grand.
(Silva) Maybe a little bit more.
So you see, nothing nothing that you truly want is impossible.
So tell me, where is this hotshot you call protege this Roberto? He's still fishing.
Rosella will show you around our home and we'll talk later.
So the pool room, the screening room the bowling alley How about the rose garden? Lighten up.
We're your friends, remember? I hate his world.
- We believe you.
- Or we'd like to believe you.
If I didn't hate him, I would tell him who you are.
And we'd tell him where we met.
And then nobody would be very happy.
Why don't you get lost? If you hate Silva, why are you here? Get lost.
You didn't do much about killing the monkey.
I guess I just need more to kill the pain.
Does it? No.
What do you say you show me around? Ivory's helping you, isn't he? He made some introductions.
It doesn't matter who you hurt to get what you want, does it? Does it matter to you that Silva killed Roberto? No! That's not true! There's a war going on.
Another smuggler Valenzuela killed Roberto and the others, and Enrico.
The man you were going to marry.
God, I hate this.
Rosella, you've got to stay strong.
You can't blow this thing.
Lives are on the line here.
Don't worry about me.
You know how I feel about Silva.
Which brings us back to my partner's question.
Why do you stay with him? Why don't you leave? Why don't you get out? His money holds me.
I don't believe that for a New York minute.
There's something else that holds you here.
I can feel it.
What is it? I'm afraid you wouldn't like me very much if I told you.
I already don't like myself.
A little voyeurism? I'm sorry.
I got a little carried away.
Your home is magnificent.
So is she, huh? (Tubbs) Very photogenic.
She knows the cameras are there.
She knows I like to watch her.
Strange games.
Something like that.
I'm pleased that we have this opportunity to talk privately.
I think I'd like to do some business with you and your friend.
Perhaps you'd be interested? Well, that all depends.
Good.
Let me tell you what I have in mind.
Fun party, huh? Dog-day night, Rico.
If we weren't here on bigger business I'd run all these sports fans into the city pound.
Hey, stop barking, man.
Compliments of Senor Silva.
No, we're cool.
I gave myself a nosebleed last night.
Give mine to that dog on the right over there.
- (Dog Barking) - He looks like he needs it.
Not as much as I do.
(Continues Barking) Mum's the word.
I talked to Silva.
We're in.
He wants us to pick up a little package for him.
(People Chattering) (Tubbs) How's his little princess? (Crockett) Living downtown again.
She's in way over her head.
And what about you? Don't worry about Rosella.
I can handle her.
She wants to help us.
She wants to get away from Silva.
So why doesn't she? I think it's simple.
Silva worships her, and she digs it.
Got to be more than that.
(Dog Barking) She'll hold.
Come on, I've seen enough of this.
Let's get the hell out of here.
This is the pits.
(Dogs Barking) (All Chattering) Rosella.
Let go of me.
What are you gonna do, huh? What are you gonna do, run to Berto? Where's Berto now that you need him? I'll leave you.
How? In my car? I can make money.
I earned lots of money - Yeah? - while I was away.
What kind of money can you earn in this condition? (Smirks) If I were you If I were you honey I'd ask Ivory Jones.
(Larry) Hurry up, Stan.
I don't know how fish can stand this.
That's why they call them fish.
I hope Castillo doesn't pick up "Radio Marti" with these things again.
He won't, not this time.
(Hisses) (Beeping) Where did you run off to? Don't you know it's bad form for a host to leave his party early? It's time to come out of the cold.
I'm not cold.
You're stoned again, aren't you? Let go of me.
What's wrong with you? Listen, I'm tired of you going off with your young friends and having your romantic chatter and your little adventures, you understand? You like to watch.
Come on, get out of the pool.
You're just jealous.
You're jealous of anybody who comes near me.
I'm jealous? Jealous of what? You love me.
You always have and you always will, do you understand that? - Hmm? - What have you done now? I want you to see how this looks on you.
Come on, let's go.
(Trudy) What are we doing back at Ivory's place, Rosella? (Rosella) I didn't want to tell Silva about it.
I just wanted to hurt him.
Like I said, why are we here? I told him last night about Ivory.
About Ivory and this place.
How he took care of me - and how I - What did Silva do? This is Ivory's.
He never took it off.
Silva brought it brought it to me.
Ivory's dead because of me.
Like Roberto, Enrico and the others.
Silva's so jealous.
(Trudy) You gave him a lot of cause to be, right? Sometimes.
This is not a game.
What does this have to do with Crockett? Silva thinks I like Sonny.
What do you want us to do? Warn him.
Call off the bust.
It's a little late for that.
Just call it off.
- Do you think Silva put her up to it? - Maybe.
Or maybe she's telling the truth.
Crockett and Tubbs should be notified.
They may be also on Silva's hit list.
There's something they ought to know.
I don't blame her for lying, not when the truth is this sick.
(Crockett) There, that's the one.
Right where Silva said it would be.
(Rosella) I don't understand why you brought me.
You've been playing games again.
You were talking to those two policewomen last night.
- You trying to set me up? - No.
- No, never.
- "No, never" is right.
Because I play the game too well.
And now you're going to watch me play this out.
Hey, Crockett, be cool.
This thing could be a booby trap.
('80s Pop Music Playing) (Rosella) Why are we switching boats? (Silva) When they play their games, Rosella, I play mine.
Lieutenant, Silva's boat's dead in the water.
Let me look.
They must have switched boats.
Call Crockett.
Nothing here.
- (Martin) Tubbs, do you read? Tubbs.
- Yeah.
I read you.
We lost him.
You're on your own.
(Tubbs) There's no smack out here.
- It's a hit! - (Martin) Get out.
Crockett! Come on, get back in the boat! We lost our backup! I could have your lives in a second.
Please, no! Don't do this! No! (Gun Firing) Don't! Please! No dope, no arrests! (Silva) No witnesses, and no backup! Just two dead Vice cops in the open sea! Please.
Why not? Wouldn't they kill me if they had the chance? They would! Yes, they would.
But I won't.
He's crazy.
Yeah, but he's got the machine guns.
It's a trick! Isn't it? Yeah, maybe.
But to show you how much I love you and to show you how foolish it is to want to leave me I love you, so I'm gonna spare your friend.
Don't you see now, my love for you? Love? You call what you've done to me love? I call this love.
I know in your heart I know that you love me.
Go on, Rosella.
If you don't love me, you kill me.
No! No.
She can't.
You can't do it, can you? Go on, Rosella, you kill your own flesh and blood.
You murder your father.
Goodbye, Daddy.
