Free Verse

Come on, cutie.
Ready? [Whistling.]
Hey, how you doing? Hi.
You need somebody to sign for that? Dr.
Roscoe's gotta sign, buddy.
Dr.
Roscoe is not here today.
He's playing golf.
I'll sign.
Big skateboard star doesn't want his picture taken.
(David) Come on.
I told you, no more pictures.
Come on.
[Grunts.]
[Truck engine starting.]
He killed him.
What's wrong? Cindy, what's wrong? I've got the proof.
[Phone ringing.]
[Speaking French.]
(woman on PA system) Dr.
Newman, please call the operator.
I talked to the driver's supervisor.
The guy had a perfect record.
Besides, he had no way of knowing.
The waybill listed the package as medical supplies.
Medical supplies? Three keys of pharmaceutical morphine that's legal in here but you step on it, put it out on the street dude could make an awful lot of money with that kind of medicine.
(Crockett) Mr.
Blur's looking to cash in.
He was a real fighter.
I'm sorry.
[Sighing.]
Yeah.
Great.
Our only witness on Page 1.
A sitting duck.
We got a solid thumbprint off the delivery truck.
Maybe we can get a name.
How you doing? Terrible.
These pictures are gonna give me nightmares.
This is a totally gross bunch of guys.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yes, we will.
Two thousand mug shots later, nothing.
That was Interpol.
They know who we're looking for: Sirat Bandi.
A very high-priced mule.
Moves nothing less than kilos.
Hot off the wire.
Thank you.
Interpol matched Bandi's thumbprint, huh? Yes.
I think I remember something about that dude.
Believe me, he's no chump.
Canada had him, but they couldn't hold on.
They want him back, alive.
He's a material witness in a capital case.
The man is a professional, proficient with all weapons.
Extortion, bombings, hits.
He'll do anything for money.
We're gonna have to watch our witness.
Set her up someplace safe.
Interpol wants Bandi.
They're sending someone to work with us.
Inspector Danielle Hier.
(Danielle) Bonsoir.
The name is Hier.
I have a reservation.
One moment.
Hello.
I'm Sonny Crockett.
How nice for you.
[Laughs.]
Detective Sonny Crockett.
Danielle Hier.
Pleasure.
Where's the girl? Right.
Let's cut the small talk.
After you.
(clerk) I have your room.
Miss Hier? Hold it for me.
(Danielle) Putting the photo in the paper was not a wise move.
(Crockett) Well, we didn't put it there.
Talk to the newspaper.
She's safe.
My partner's with her.
Bandi will try to kill her.
So, why doesn't he just sell the morphine and then split town, or vice versa? It is not in his nature to leave a witness alive.
Pair of cowboys.
Ten to the straight.
Cowboys power.
What's the matter? You don't believe my straight? Sure, I believe you.
You got a girlfriend, Rico? Officially? Unofficially, I guess you got about 150.
I wouldn't bet on it.
What about your partner? God, he is so good-Iooking.
I guess you have to ask my partner.
My deal? [Knocking on door.]
Excuse me.
Come on in.
Ricardo Tubbs, say hello to Inspector Danielle Hier.
Daniel? Danielle Hier.
I thought Yeah.
It's happened before.
Smile.
[Camera clicking.]
A souvenir for the happy couple.
Hi, Cindy.
Hi, Sonny.
Listen, you guys go ahead.
Just leave the number of the restaurant so Rico can call you if I get in any trouble.
Very funny.
You must tell me everything you saw at the hospital, Cindy.
I already told Sonny and Rico.
And now you must tell me.
Oui? Bandi will attack the girl.
Not if he's too high to pull the trigger.
He's got a lot of factory-tested smack.
He is not a drug addict, Detective.
You better check into your room before they give it away.
You all set? Yeah, everything's solid.
We'll see you later.
All right.
[Crickets chirping.]
There's plenty of cold cuts in the refrigerator.
And don't forget to wake her up for her 3:00 feeding.
Get out of here.
(Cindy) It's crazy.
David's all trapped in that cast.
I'm all trapped in this house.
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
I'm not introducing you to them, Carol.
They're too old, and you're too young.
No, I don't think Sonny or Rico are gonna take you to the prom.
Carol, shut up for a second.
I'm gonna need your help.
(David on phone) Cindy and skateboard, that's my life.
Now I don't have anymore skateboard, but (Cindy on phone) Well, I guess you're left with me, lucky guy.
That's me.
Mr.
Lucky.
Yeah.
Well, I've been thinking.
I got a plan, babe.
Would that plan include me? Yeah.
See you when I see you.
Night-night.
[Crickets chirping.]
[Door creaking.]
[Car engine starting.]
[Sighing.]
Switek.
Listen, Cindy's gone.
And I think I know where she went.
I'm gonna need some backup.
Meet me at the hospital.
I am so excited about this one.
Hey, listen, good luck, all right? Thanks, Carol.
Break a leg.
[Laughing.]
Bye.
[Whispering.]
I escaped.
[Laughing.]
I missed you.
Hey, I'm getting this thing off soon, you know.
Not soon enough.
Cindy! Rico, I'm okay.
There's nothing to worry about.
Have you guys met? You're that Rico dude.
How are you doing? We're getting out of here now.
I think he's really mad.
Hey, call me.
Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna walk very quickly to that van and we're gonna get in it.
You got it? Rico, don't you think we Cindy.
You got it? Yeah.
All right.
Cindy! Over here! David! Hi, David.
[Cindy screaming.]
(David) Cindy! You all right? Cindy.
(Stan) He's on the roof.
(Tubbs) David, get back in your room.
[Groaning.]
Switek! [Moaning.]
I'm sorry, Rico.
I messed up, right? You're gonna be all right.
It hurts! Better be all right.
(Crockett) Okay.
Good.
That's good news.
Very good news.
Right.
Okay, thanks.
Good morning.
That was the hospital.
Cindy's gonna be okay.
Not if your partner continues to guard her.
You got something to say about my partner, don't.
The girl is a wild card.
I know.
She is also our connection to Bandi.
We must do whatever we can to keep her alive.
That hospital room is like a fortress, like Fort Knox.
Houdini couldn't get in there, okay? It probably wasn't Tubbs' fault.
I used to be a teenager.
Teenager, huh? Let's hear your ideas about Bandi.
[Birds chirping.]
I don't know.
Maybe we should be looking for a guy that's in the market for some Grade A morphine.
Find him, maybe we find Bandi.
Who knows? We could get lucky.
What does luck have to do with it? What the hell's your problem, lady? Bandi is my problem.
Yeah, well, you could use some charm lessons.
And are you going to give them to me? [Both laughing.]
Yeah, well, you got me there.
Look, I don't know how they do it in France, but in this country we try to share information, work together, work as a team.
You know what I mean? It's getting late, Crockett.
Yeah.
Right.
Thanks.
[Phone ringing.]
Hello.
[Speaking French.]
Oui.
[Growling.]
Taking your own damn sweet time eating dinner tonight.
Come on.
What's happening? I got an allergy.
To what? Crocodiles.
Alligator.
Alligator.
What's up? I checked on the inspector.
You know, I like to know who I'm working with.
Well, did you find any dirt? Not any that you can see.
You know she's been with Interpol for five years, made all the right moves.
She's spent time at Stanford, Oxford, law school in Berlin.
Did some good work on major cases.
Her specialty's narcotics.
Yeah, narcotics and hostility.
She's getting to you, huh? You know, I've been thinking about tapping her phone.
You mean you already have.
[Laughing.]
You and I have been working too long together.
You know all my moves.
There's something definitely wrong with her, man.
I just can't put my finger on it.
Do what you gotta do, Rico.
Play out your hunch.
Just keep me informed.
Cool, man.
Later.
[Alligator gulping.]
You want more? [Growling.]
I gotta go fishing.
Lieutenant, sir, I just didn't feel like handcuffing a young lady to a chair.
I'm not reprimanding you.
I'm stating a fact for future reference.
Check.
How long was Bandi in Switzerland before he went to Spain? (Danielle) Six months.
I would like to say something on Tubbs' behalf.
I'm all ears.
You weren't familiar with Bandi.
The man will do anything to get what he wants and risk everything to obtain it.
Sounds like some yahoo with a couple of keys.
What are you saying? I'm saying that you cannot underestimate him.
The report that Bandi was spotted at the Blue Waters Hotel has checked out.
We have units keeping the building under observation.
I want to make a move on him.
It's probably a trap.
We have visual confirmation that he's in his room.
Bandi is angry because he missed killing the girl.
He is never seen unless he wants to be seen.
It's a lead we have to check out.
Don't underestimate him.
Come on.
Let's nail this jerk.
Could be a trap.
Be careful.
[Water running.]
[Door squeaking.]
[Clicking.]
Set up! [Explosion.]
[Glass shattering.]
[Stan coughing.]
Sorry.
Did we wake you? [Baby crying.]
You all right? No, I'm not all right.
[People chattering.]
[Chattering.]
We haven't seen him.
We're still waiting.
When you do, it would be in your best interest to contact me.
I know someone who could help you move the merchandise.
Fast.
Well, we hear from him, we'll give you a call.
Right.
How about a refill? Bonsoir.
Who's this? It was very nice meeting you.
You haven't been telling me everything you know, have you? No games.
Straight talk.
What the hell's going on? You knew what was coming down, didn't you? An educated guess, Crockett.
I tried to warn you.
Well, you could have damn well been a little more emphatic.
And you could have listened a little bit better.
We're getting nowhere.
Nowhere.
Those two men I was talking with downstairs they're in the morphine business.
They have dealt with Bandi before.
I'm sure he will contact them.
And when he does they will call us.
[Sighing.]
Give me a little time, Crockett.
Maybe I'm not used to working as a team.
Maybe you're not a team player.
Cut the small talk, Crockett.
Isn't it time to cut the small talk, Crockett? I say we contact Bandi' s friends before he does.
Bandi lives for the deal, the adrenalin.
All we have to do is hang the deal in front of his face and watch his mouth water.
Make him come to us.
Inspector.
Come on, Crockett.
[Laughing.]
[Both laughing.]
Danielle.
Oui? You have told me everything, right? You're joking? [Phone ringing.]
Hello? What's happening? Danielle's been talking to a guy in Paris.
His name is Zolan.
And? (Tubbs) He's a big shot in Interpol.
Checks out squeaky clean.
Bandi's a priority for this dude.
Gee, that's nice to know.
Yeah.
Enjoy.
How is your friend Tubbs? Tubbs is great.
[Muttering.]
You want another favor, Rico? Have I told you how beautiful you look today? Or what a great cop I think you are? Cut to the chase, Rico.
The picture you ran the check went through for police agencies, right? Yeah.
Checked out right.
Well, try it the other way.
Try her as a criminal.
See if she's wanted.
I'd appreciate it.
Detective Crockett has persuaded the buyers to work with Bandi under supervised circumstances.
Bandi has been furnished with a telephone number.
It rings at Metro.
Inspector, the two buyers, Sullivan and Lipton Intelligence from my office in Paris.
Yeah.
Let me know the next time you get a tip before you act on it.
Yes, Lieutenant.
Thank you.
I'm not sure I wanna do this.
Well, I'm positive you wanna do it.
You have to disconnect yourself from Bandi in a hurry, pal.
You don't know Bandi.
Maybe you didn't hear me the first time.
He killed the driver and shot that Besides, if you don't work with us I'm gonna clear my desk of all my other cases and make your life one living hell.
We dropped your number on Bandi.
You can take it from here.
We need your voice.
When the bell rings, you're on.
You a guest of the hotel, sir? I'm thinking about it.
If you could park this car in a safe place I'd certainly appreciate it.
[Phone ringing.]
Hello? (Bandi) Good morning.
Are you ready? If you are.
If you have the merchandise.
Is it as represented? Don't you read the papers? [Knocking on door.]
(Sullivan) Hello? Hello.
Are you there? Excuse me for a minute.
What is it? (man) It's Chuck, sir.
You asked me to tell you if anyone was looking for you.
What? A black guy.
He talked to the manager and showed him a photo that looked like you.
(Chuck) No! [Chuck screaming.]
Miami Vice.
(Tubbs) Put your hands where I can see them.
Tubbs? (Crockett) Tubbs.
Hello? You got a tip? Guess where.
Danielle got a call from her boss man Zolan.
He told her where he thought Bandi might be.
Hotel and room number.
It's your call, man.
This is where he gets stabbed.
(Chuck on tape) No! [Chuck screaming.]
I'll fast forward it.
(Tubbs on tape) Miami Vice.
Swi, turn that off.
Put your hands where I can see them.
Tubbs may I see you in my office? It scares me a little bit, Lieutenant that we're working with Danielle.
If she is bad, we better find out real fast or our lives are in maximum danger.
She's a cop.
She'll get her chance to explain.
Tubbs.
Yeah? I know.
No more Lone Ranger.
Bandi will call back.
I told you, he lives for the deal.
What do you live for? You've got a problem? They told you where Bandi was, and you didn't tell us.
You put a bug on my telephone.
It's not that complicated, Crockett.
You knew where he was, and you didn't talk to us! You didn't talk to us! We had a tip.
There's a difference.
Besides, we had already agreed on a plan of action.
We were letting Bandi come to us.
This was your idea.
Zolan did not tell me to go to the hotel to get Bandi.
You did it! You almost got blown up! I didn't want you to get blown up, Crockett.
I'm touched.
If Bandi calls back tomorrow, it's gonna be a long day.
I suggest we take a rain check.
It isn't raining.
##[Who's Zoomin' Who playing.]
[Door opening.]
[Door closing.]
I was hoping you would be someone else.
Your partner.
You're messing with my best friend, and I don't like it.
What do you want me to do? Make him not like me? I think you're a bad dream, baby.
I just wanna wake up and find you gone.
What if I don't want to be gone, Rico? That's easy.
I know what you are.
If you don't split, I'll have every newspaper, every wire service on your case so fast you won't know where to look.
You'll be out in the cold, baby, with no place warm in sight.
Have a nice trip home.
[Water running.]
What happens to us if Bandi doesn't call? For your sake, you better hope he does.
[Phone ringing.]
Hello? Jackson Park.
10:00.
By the waterfront.
[Phone disconnects.]
If he sees anybody but Sullivan at the park, we'll lose him.
Make sure of your positions and make sure you can talk to each other.
Sullivan's a civilian, so protect him.
I don't like it, but Bandi's not gonna go for a decoy.
[Sighing.]
(Crockett) Okay, yeah.
Thanks.
Leave a message, please.
Hi.
Trudy ran Danielle for international warrants.
This came back from New Zealand.
She's wanted? Terrorist.
Remember the Greenpeace boat that got blown up in a New Zealand harbor last year? Yeah, Greenpeace wanted to stop French nuclear testing.
Yeah.
Somebody stopped Greenpeace real quick.
One guy died in the explosion.
Those two guys right there have been made for French spooks.
Deuxième Bureau.
I figure Danielle was the same a heavy, heavy spook, man.
Interpol's just her cover.
She could have been one of their assassins.
Where is she? I paid her a visit.
I told her I knew.
She doesn't want her cover blown so I figure she's on her way back to somewhere.
The thing I can't figure out, though, is why.
And what would the French CIA want with Bandi? Bandi's turned.
He's got too many skeletons, and they want him dead.
I'm sorry, man.
I've got two minutes past rendezvous time.
What do you got, Gina? (Larry) Am I fast? You really want me to answer that, Larry? [Engine revving.]
Come on, dude.
Keep it together.
Heads up.
This could be our guy.
[Engine revving.]
The money? Yes.
The merchandise? Right here.
Jet! You okay? I think so.
Good.
Stay that way.
[Car horn honking.]
[Bell ringing.]
[Bridge jarring.]
[Gun firing.]
Danielle! He's dead.
Why did you kill him? He had a big mouth.
He did some work for us a few years ago.
[Bridge jarring.]
I don't need this anymore.
You are a nightmare.
You have a big mouth, Tubbs.
You told me so yourself.
I'm going to leave this gun in Bandi's hand with one less bullet.
I've got to get away clean.
[Bell ringing.]
