Miami Vice s02e09 Episode Script

Bought and Paid For

(People Chattering) (80's Music Playing) (Sighs) This heat brings everybody to the beach.
Too many people.
Too damn many things could go wrong.
This D.
E.
A.
guy, Thompson, is he any good? Special forces, medals, khaki underwear.
(Sighs) Talks like Rambo.
- Rumored to be bad.
- He better be.
Last time Herrera got cornered, people got dead.
Took this D.
E.
A.
guy last time and took him deep-sea fishing.
Deep-sea fishing? Yeah, cut him up into little pieces and used him for bait.
- What'd they catch? - Cute.
Looks like turbo diesels.
Oh, man, this night vision is beautiful.
It's snowing on the beach, people.
Herrera's moving up to the park now and he's got Flex, Pecs, and Mex with him.
Everybody stay hot, we're moving into position now.
(Radio Buzzes) (Crockett) He's committed.
(Music Continues Playing) (Clears Throat) I got him.
If you show me yours, I'll show you mine.
After you.
(Car Engine Starting) Not yet.
Not yet.
There's one more civilian inside.
Okay, take them down and seal it.
It's your kidney, shorty.
Put the gun down.
Just stand still and I'll be your date.
(Crockett) Zito, you're on.
(Retching) Police.
Hit the dirt.
God, I always wanted to do that.
(Muffled Shouting) (Man Continues Shouting) (Crockett) What the hell is going on here? What happened? See, what it is, Lieutenant, it's an operation of complex tactic We blew it.
Somebody owes the government $500000.
Look, Lieutenant, we wanted Herrera, we got Herrera.
That's what the D.
E.
A.
wanted.
As far as the D.
E.
A.
is concerned, the deader the better.
As far as the dough is concerned I leave that to your crack team to swing into action and cough up the dough.
Hey, pal, this was supposed to be a co-production.
You were the guy that walked into the toilet with a ton of dough and ended up with his pants around his ankles.
You cracker, cop.
(Martin) Crockett.
What did you see? It's all in my debriefing.
The report's on your desk.
I don't have to take anything from you.
The report seemed incomplete about your condition when found.
Okay.
I never saw his face.
I only saw the look on Herrera's face.
The guy was behind me.
He squeezed my neck, I saw stars.
I never saw him.
I never heard him.
Thank you for your time.
You'll be hearing from us.
(Clicks) (Crockett) What is it, Lieutenant? You know this guy? Lieutenant? Yeah, I know him.
You think he had something to do with cooling out the bust? He had everything to do with it.
He was the last one out of the john.
- Who the hell is he? - Jack Gretsky.
He used to work for the intelligence community.
You mean the Company? Highest priority.
He was solo.
On this man's level, death is a profession.
He sees everything.
Everything.
I'll find out if he's been sanctioned.
If he hasn't, then he broke the law.
He killed Herrera and stole $500000.
I'll get it back, that's my job.
I'll find him.
But know this this man is dangerous.
Don't try to apprehend him.
I don't want anyone to approach him in any way.
That's an order.
Martin you need manpower.
We don't even know if this guy's still in town.
He's here.
(Door Rattling) (Hardin) What do you say, Castillo? Long time no see.
Hello, Hardin.
Well, what do you make of our cover? Talk about local color, huh? (Laughs) What's the Company doing in Miami, Hardin? Our work here involves national security and Jack Gretsky is our work.
That's why we're here.
You follow? Well, you work your side of the street and I'll work mine.
(Scoffs) You know, we could pick up the phone and have your badge, cop.
- You won't do that.
- You're right, Castillo.
We'd like your cooperation.
I have a job to do.
(Carter) My name is Carter and I don't like you.
And I don't care about your crummy little drug deals.
I don't care about Herrera and I don't care about the half million.
You must care about something.
You look nervous.
(Hardin) Gretsky's left a trail of dead agents halfway around the world all the way to Miami.
He's taking all of the old outstanding accounts.
- Good for him.
- Mostly theirs.
We don't know why he's here in Miami.
We don't know why, and that's what's got us worried.
- What would he want in Miami? - Me.
We checked that.
You guys go back.
You go way back to the Golden Triangle, to Cambodia, further.
But the real funny thing is that neither one of you even existed before Vietnam.
You just drop out of sight, right out of the computer.
Even deep background.
Why don't you tell us about that? Something heavy is going to go down in this town and you're not telling me the truth.
(Scoffs) You know what we know.
If you want to use me to find Jack, Hardin, you're gonna have to tell me why.
All right.
Jack Gretsky went over to the Russians years ago.
Now he's on the run.
He's a traitor.
I don't believe that.
We need to get to him before the Russians do.
It's the only chance he has of staying alive in the long run.
They'll get him eventually.
Even Jack Gretsky makes a mistake, eventually.
We have reason to believe they've already sent their "A-team".
(Martin) Why is he better off with you? (Carter) He'll keep breathing.
He knows a lot of things we want to know.
He's smart.
He could take years telling us stories.
He has a wife and a son.
She's Russian.
He got her out, we know that.
And she may have been an intelligence operative.
So, we want them both.
Prove it.
(Sighing) (Hardin) There's your buddy in Cuba and Moscow with his Commie wife.
Now if he contacts you, you contact us.
We'll take it from there.
(Carter) If you help him, you're over the line.
Cop or no, we treat you like any other national security risk.
You catch my drift? (People Chattering) (Bells Tinkling) Hello, Marty.
(Crickets Chirping) It's been a long time.
Are you the same man I used to know, Marty? We change.
Not you.
After they put me back together again in Bangkok they told me you were dead.
Caught in the ambush.
They were wrong.
Left for dead is what they meant.
I got your message.
I figured that was your way of saying "hello".
Now don't be too hard on them.
Those two, that were up in the balcony with the night scope they were very good.
And the ones in the park I liked the roller skater the best.
She was a real beauty.
And the one that was buried in the sand, he's working with a clean slate.
You've got good people, a lot of heart.
What's this all about, Jack? - What did they tell you? - You went over.
You believe them? They tell you I had a family? A wife, a boy.
Have you made a family of your own, Marty? No.
There's so little time.
Do you remember that night in the hills of Mae-Sa? When the Hmong warlord sent his assassins? They had us cornered in a temple.
Like this one.
And we lay there waiting in the dark.
And the air was so thick and ancient you couldn't breathe it.
And when they came, we stood in the middle of the floor leaning with our backs to each other.
It was our swords against their swords.
We should have died then.
Come on, let's go inside.
(Bells Tinkling) My wife and son changed everything for me.
Because at the end of everything they're what I always wanted anyway.
- Are they all right? - Yeah, they're here, in Miami.
You remember Erendira? Yes, of course.
- They're with her.
- Watch out for that one.
Why here? Everybody's hunting you.
I had to come here.
Marty, you're the only one I ever trusted.
If something happens to me, I look to you.
I want my family to live a safe, comfortable life.
No more running.
And they shouldn't want for anything.
(Sighing) I can't let you walk.
I know.
I know.
I know.
It's my duty.
It's what I am.
Marty, take it easy.
Loosen your tie a little.
Everything's working out just fine.
Jack.
(Thuds) We just want you to know that we really appreciate it.
He outlived his usefulness anyway.
Two peas in a pod, Castillo.
You and Gretsky the last of the dinosaurs.
But I gotta hand it to you, you're a real problem-solver.
That guy was totally out of control.
We either had to kill him or give him a medal.
Yeah.
Now we don't even know him.
What do you want me to do? Nothing.
(Exhales) (Gun Fires) (Jack) They tell you I had a family? (Martin) A wife, a boy.
Hey, Brennan.
What have you got? It's Tubbs.
I don't understand.
(People Chattering) Okay.
Of course.
What was that all about? He said whoever killed Gretsky did him a favor.
Autopsy shows that he had cancer everywhere.
They don't even understand how a guy with so much pain could be walking around.
(Bells Tinkling) (Crockett) Excuse me, you Carter? Name's Surf.
Well, come on in, come on in.
We porno smut degenerates don't stand on ceremony.
Now let me see.
Don't tell me, 'cause I know this one.
You're Crockett.
That makes you Tubbs.
You got the Caddy, right? Totally awesome.
Well, now that we've made contact on a deep, subtextual level how can I be of help to Miami Vice? We're looking for Carter and the other guy, Tex.
You must mean Hardin.
Yeah, they went "Pinko" on us, and we sent them away.
"Pinko"? (Surf Laughing) (Surf) "Pinko's" Donut Shop, it's down on Palm.
They have superb jellyrolls.
Did you know that? (Sighing) We'll wait.
I don't think you should.
You got a busy night ahead of you.
I'm tired of dancing with you, pal.
Where's Castillo? Listen, he's in a lot of trouble.
The K.
G.
B.
want Gretsky's wife and the boy.
Alive if possible, dead if necessary, but they want them.
She's former K.
G.
B.
You understand? You got to find them before the Russkies.
Hey, Hardin, back already, huh? Where's the jellyrolls? (Asking In Russian) Da.
Please don't ever speak in Russian again.
(Birds Chirping) (Doorbell Ringing) It's been a long time, Erendira.
I'm glad it was you.
Jack? Erendira? Who is there? Hello.
My name is Martin Castillo.
Yes.
I know.
I have your photograph.
It's no longer safe for you here in Miami.
I've made arrangements to take you away from here.
I will wait for Jack.
We must go now.
(Sighs) We will wait here.
Jack has gone ahead.
I wish I had gone with him.
We gonna meet Dad someplace? (Lara Exhales) Go upstairs.
I'll take care of your things.
Go.
You were there, with him? Yes, I was there.
Was he hurting long? No.
Did you hold him? We have to go.
There's a little island off Key Largo.
A boat will meet us there, take you to a safe place.
Good people.
You can trust them.
- What's your name, son? - Marty.
Dad tells me stories about you.
Has he ever told you stories about the shoguns and the samurais? Sure.
There's a special story I'd like you to know.
The story about the samurai, Toshin.
I don't think I know that one.
Toshin was the greatest swordsman of his clan.
And all the other samurai revered him very much.
And the shogun became jealous.
The shogun ordered Toshin to murder all the people of a little fishing village as a test of his loyalty.
Toshin refused, of course, to do something so wrong.
It would have destroyed his honor.
He became an outcast to his clan, which turned against him and he lived with the wild animals in the mountains with his family.
The clan sent assassins to try to kill them all but none of them ever came back.
Toshin knew that one day they would kill him and his family.
That not even he could win all the time.
That his time would come.
Hold on.
(Birds Chirping) What happened? (Sheriff) He gave me the slip, that's what happened.
But he'll be back this way.
Only way in or out.
- What's on the island? - A bunch of roads going nowhere.
A few abandoned places.
No one comes out here anymore.
I don't know about you, partner, but I'm getting real tired of ending up two yards short in this game.
(Doors Creaking) Anyone else come out here since you been here? How about I ask some questions? Like what the hell is going on? The BOLO I was following has a cop car.
(Gun Fires) (Martin) You'll be safe here.
The boat will come late today.
We'll have to wait.
I'll be right outside the door.
You can get some rest.
Don't leave me.
(Gun Clicks) (Sniffs) They will find us.
They'll try.
Take Marty.
They want me, I think.
Maybe I will be enough revenge for them.
You and Marty will be safe.
I promise you that.
You don't understand.
I was with K.
G.
B.
They will not stop.
They know if the others could, they would do what I did.
Why Jack? How did you meet him? I was an actress in Moscow.
They sent me to fall in love with him.
You see, Russians are very well trained.
We do what we are told.
But why Jack? (Sighs) He tried to He pretended to defect.
They sent me to pretend to defect.
He told them lies about me.
I told them lies about him.
We were very happy.
That couldn't have worked for very long, no? No.
After Marty was born he took us out of Russia.
Um He tried to quit C.
I.
A.
We lived quietly until they found us again.
K.
G.
B.
or the Company? We didn't know.
Rest for a while.
I'll come and get you when it's time.
I'll go look in on the boy.
You never finished the story.
What happened to Toshin? Let me help you with these.
We'll go upstairs, I'll finish the story and then I have something that belongs to you.
Finally, the clan sent his best friend.
A man closer than a brother to him.
It was this man's duty to obey the clan.
Toshin came down off the mountains onto the beach to meet his old friend.
They faced each other with drawn swords.
They loved each other very much.
As they both struck with their swords Toshin, the master, was a little quicker but he only touched his friend's neck.
Touching it but not cutting it.
His friend could not stop in time.
He struck Toshin once, killing him.
Toshin died in honor.
It is the way of the bushido, the way of the warrior.
Toshin knew that his family would now be safe.
But his friend's heart was broken.
Now I have something that belongs to you.
(Groaning) - Mom, what are you doing? - He killed your father.
(Slow Music Playing) Hello, comrades.
Please, after you.
(Door Creaks) (Grunts) (Speaking Russian) (Speaking Russian) (Door Rattles) (Marty Speaking Russian) (Lara Shushing) (Wood Creaks) (Rats Squeaking) (Gasps) (Grunts) (Footsteps Approaching) (Gasping) (Shushes) (Music Continues Playing) (Creaking) (Footsteps Approaching) (Water Dripping) (Creaking) (Knife Clattering) (Lara Sobs) (Panting) Come with me.
(Speaking Russian) Stay here.
Don't move.
Stay here.
(Engine Dying) (Panting) God, I love American cars, don't you? Nothing like a big old Detroit.
"Born in the USA".
(Surf) Who are you, man? Huh? You got a name? You know what my name is? My name is Surf, isn't that great? My name is Surf.
Boy, I love America.
Yeah, land of the free and home of the brave, isn't it? (Panting) Yes, this is my first time in Miami, though.
Boy, it's paradise here.
Ain't it just paradise? I mean, it is really far out, right? I mean, it is far out.
Do they still say that, "Far out"? Kind of hard to keep up.
All right, look, cop, we got to wrap this up.
Now we can do this in one of two flavors.
I can either blow you all away and just drive this Caddy back to Moscow or you can come out on your own.
I kill you and they go free.
All right? The choice is yours.
I'd rather be dead.
(Lara) No! (Martin) Surf! You and Gretsky were comrades, right? Well, one thing I promise you they won't hurt the woman or the boy.
I won't let them.
Besides, they make a better example alive in Russia than dead in Miami, right? Boy, when you go, you go all the way.
(Crockett) Surf's up, pal.
(Gun Firing) (Tubbs) He's still alive.
(Crockett) Is this the $500000? (Martin) (Tubbs) That's close enough.
In the greater scheme of things, it won't matter.
It'll all be lost in the sauce.
No one will care.
It'll all be there, by bank closing time tomorrow.
Castillo doesn't give an inch.
He can't.
