Miami Vice · Season 4
You have the right to remain silent.
Don't tell me you're a cop! That's disgusting.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Can't we discuss this like civilized human beings?
You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
I know it's different worlds, Sonny, but tell me we can make it work.
Or die tryin'.
Hey, 6 minutes never killed anybody.
I can kill 20 men in 6 minutes.
[Before jumping down from the balcony] Hey, you know what they say, brother man. Better to die a hero than to live on your knees.
(In response to the way the Vice team handled the Beaks case) Your behavior in the Beaks case was abominable...you allowed your personal feelings to influence your performance as police officers. I have to be able to treat you like professionals...if you're not prepared to act like professionals in the future, I would like your transfer requests on my desk by the end of the day.
I can understand the idea of being invisible, but don't you think you're taking your, uh, cover a little bit too far?
I don't know. You live undercover, don't you?
Yeah.
You wear thousand-dollar suits and bounce around in a Caddy?
Yeah? So?
So I get my clothes out of dumpsters and I live in a box. We're both after the same thing. You have to work with the scum suckers. I prefer to bust 'em.
So am I gonna start searching or you gonna make it easy?
You're looking at it.
Come on, Montana. It's too late to start playin' games.
This ain't no game, man. Out there, that's a game, but these people's lives are at stake.
These people's lives are at stake? It's funny to hear you say that. Where's the money?
Like I said, this is it.
Are you tellin' me that you put 200 easy grand into this place?
It went pretty fast. The lot cost 125,000. By the time everybody else got their cut, I was left with 50,000 for food and medicine and bedding and sheets and soap and towels, you know?
Why'd you do it with dirty money? Why didn't you just go out and get a grant or something?
Oh, right, right. I tried that once. Ran into a big brick wall. Probably would have had better luck if I said it was for freedom fighters.
The means justify the ends?
You never once heard me try to justify murder.
I never once heard you try to make it anything better either.
You just don't get it, do you?
I want you to help us with the sting.
Colón is too nervous already about the amount of stuff he's sitting on.
Just bring me in as an out-of-town mover. We'll pay him top dollar to take it off his hands.
Look, Tubbs, if you're talking deal...
I'm not talking deal. What I'm saying is I'll lay it out to my lieutenant, and if he goes for it, what do you want?
What do I want? What do I want? This! The remainder of my cut is sitting in a trust fund to keep this shelter running. If you want my help, you make sure that that is untouchable.
I'll do the best I can.
Something bothering you, Stone?
Yeah, a lot of things bother me, Colon. Do you want me to make a list for you?
That always seems to be your problem, Montana.
There's no place for personal vendettas in this department.
How do you feel?
About finding him?
Yeah.
Frankel, a couple of nights before Hackman killed him, we stopped into this bar on the way home and Frankel saw a guy in there he'd been trying to put away a couple times on rape charges. The guy had beaten him both times. Frankel said he wanted to take him out in the alley and beat the living hell out of him. He said he figured if he felt that way, maybe he had a year left in him as a good cop. I promised myself I'd quit before I got to that point. I hope it's not happening.
Looks like we're even.
Even? No. Not even close.
I guess I'm busted. You enjoying your stay on the island? How do you like the place? Took me a few weeks to get everything set up, you know. I had to figure out where I wanted to retire, find a house, furnish it, get some of my stuff sent down. I'd hate to leave. I'm just getting comfortable.
Get up.
I'm afraid I got other plans, Crockett. Plans I made with the local judge and the police, which involve their pensions. See, I'm really a very altruistic guy.
Get up.
No way. No way, I sure as hell know the same way you couldn't let an innocent man be executed, that you can't shoot an unarmed man.
(Shoots him) Wrong.
I may be short-circuited a little, but I know this game.
Maybe we could deal together.
Ah, I don't think so. I don't deal with dirty cops.
Look who's talkin'. You're good, Crockett. But you're not that good. You start 'em up.
Name's Burnett.
Yeah, whatever.
That's B-U-R-N-E-double T.
