04x14 - Baseballs of Death

[bunniefuu]

Lousy night.

10 chokes. A couple of halfers,
and all l got is 300.

Shaney, you said
l could quit soon.

Thank you so much.

Look out.
The contacts are wet.

Now let's see.

Bad night for you,
very good night for me.

2 Porches, 560 SL
and a black Maserati.

That creep.
He's got a vice grip.

lt still hurts.
Help rub it out?

-Please.
-No.

There it is.

Alright.

Okay. B, 7, C,...

3, 0, 2.

Okay, got it.

Damn!

lt's a rental.

Shaney...

Auto rentals.

My car was hit
in a parking lot...

by a black Maserati
with your license plate holder.

Did you get the number?

l did, yes.
B7C302.

lt's rented to Ernesto Guerrera.
He lives at Bayshore, 163.

Number's 555-9967.

Thank you.

Shaney doesn't love
Cinder anymore.

Hello?

Ernesto Guerrera?

Yes.

Who is this?

Your worst nightmare.
2nd Avenue,...

busty blond named Cinder
got into your Maserati.

-l've got photos. You've got trouble.
-No, you can't...

Shut up!

Now. There's an alley
off 2nd Avenue.

Be there in an hour
with $5,000,...

or your name will be
all over...

the newspapers.

Ernesto!

You latino businessmen...

are my best clients.
When you get to Miami,...

first thing you
want to do...

is get your oil changed.

lt's all there, Pancho.

-Homicide called. lt's a double.
-Why call us in?

Girl in the bag had 11 priors
for pandering and prostitution.

l booked her last week.

Any address?

Trudy's working on it.

Who's in the other bag?

Name's Shane du Bois.

The Vette outside the alley...

is in his name.

We called the DMV and guess what?

Surprise me.

He used to work for them.

Fired for insubordination.

Refused to cut his hair.

l guess he got
more than a haircut.

Yeah, Trudy?

Booking lists her address...

as 4285 2nd Avenue.

Sounds like the Tropical.

Yeah. That dive hotel
off 15th Street.

l don't have to do this.

-Not without paper...
-We're proud of you, Sy.

Oy veh!

We'll say goodbye
when we leave.

Sonny.

Come look at this.

Take a look at this.

Very cute.
He's accessed the DMV.

He'd have his girls
work the corner,...

-photograph the johns...
-Run the license plate.

Then call and say: ''Pay up
or your photo's in the paper''.

l'll bet we got the k*ller
right here on film.

lt's undoubtedly connected...

with the preservation
of the American system.

Or, as it's known here,
the ''American way''.

Thank you,
Comandante Guerrera.

Drug traffic...

With new anti-drug funds
from Washington...

we'll be able to buy the best
weaponry and surveillance...

Thank you.

Thank you, gentleman.

That's all for today.
l'll see you tomorrow.

l understand you have
a problem?

No. lt's just impossible
to operate in Miami.

-l can help.
-Really?

-Officially or unofficially?
-Don't be ridiculous.

There's no way to get you
anything officially.

Anything?

Woody's.
A bar at the Hotel Du Cap.

1 :30.

My associate will find you.

Nobody wants to book you
for soliciting, okay?

We just want to know
where you were last night.

l'm very sorry Reverend.

Yes. Sorry.
Thank you.

-Any leads?
-No, l'm 0 for 4.

l just got a minister
who drives a Porsche 911.

He was at a prayer meeting
at the time of the murders.

-Anything? Anyone?
-Nothing.

Most of mine are out.
This could take all day.

Can you hold?

Lieutenant.

All mine were a wash,
except for one.

Some guy Guerrera
rented a black Maserati.

Skyline Drive, on Biscayne.

Talk about a long sh*t.

l'll have Gina and Trudy
run it down. lt's all we got.

Go to Biscayne. Find him.
lf it's real, he may try to skip.

We don't have much time.

lt's nearly 2:00, Comandante.
He's late.

Sorry. l'm waiting
for someone.

Yes, l know.

You're waiting for him.
He's very important.

You must be joking.

l wouldn't touch him
for $1,000.

Maybe you touch him
5 times now.

This is for you, sir.

Let's go.

Captain Guerrera.

Glad to see we're off
to such a good start.

l don't trust my mother.
Why should l trust you?

Your mother can't satisfy
your needs anymore. l can.

That would make me
very happy.

But l don't like
to be made unhappy.

1,000 Detonics long slides.

Recoil, compensators,
fixed combat sights.

20 round magazines.
300 Mossberg 870's.

50 AR 15's.

This for your club or
you going to inv*de Uruguay?

Can you deliver?

Can't foresee any problem
Anything else?

100 Enco Mark lV's.
Side loading.

-Barrel extensions?
-Yes, with 32 round mags.

100 rounds per,
plus shipping.

$3,400,000.

With your usual
sales incentive.

Soon as the cash
is in my account,...

l'll move 2º/º to you
across Zurich.

Comandante, this is
a ''no export list'' sale.

l have to use cutout countries
for my transshipment.

3º/º is as high as l'll go.

Wait a minute.

3.75º/º for you.

And l'll throw in
a gross of these.

P-7-M-13.

Squeeze integrated cocking.

Deal.

-Just one more item.
-What's that?

Baseballs.

No way. lt's too tough.

-l'll pay top dollar.
-lt'll draw too much attention.

They'll shut me down.

You can't afford not to,...

or l'll shut you down
right now.

-This is it.
-Yeah.

-Yeah, Trudy?
-Gina and l just finished.

All Cinder's other johns
have alibis for the m*rder night.

The guy in the Maserati
looks good for it.

We're there now.
And here he comes.

Check it out.

''Guten Morgen''.

Anything since last night?

Some dogs fell in love
and started a family.

Other than that...

Wait a minute.

Looks like you guys
are just in time.

Some people are exiting
the house.

2 guys in a Maserati
heading my way.

Switek, loop around
the front.

-Don't let him get too far.
-Right.

Miami Vice!

Exit the car slowly!

Real slow.

Unload that jacket.

There. Tell your babysitter
to do the same thing.

-Do as he says.
-Against the car.

Against the car
and spread 'em!

What's the meaning
of this violation?

Someone threw a double
m*rder the other night.

Rumor says you were
the host.

''General Ernesto Guerrera,...

Policia de Nacionale.
Santiago de Chile''.

Let me tell you, Ernie.

Maybe you have a license
to k*ll in Chile,...

but it don't mean squat
in Miami.

Don't expect
diplomatic immunity...

'cause you ain't
got none.

Here, visiting police officers
are like private citizens.

Tell me, where were you
3 nights ago?

lf this was my country,
you'd be dead by now.

Well, we have a little
legal technicality...

called the 6th Amendment.

lt keeps us from sh**ting
dogs like you when we arrest you.

Rico, read 'em the card.

-Cut 'em loose.
-Who the hell are you?

Brody, DEA He's a guest
of the Justice Department.

Sorry, General Guerrera.
You can go.

Not until this peasant
picks up my g*n.

On a cold day in July.

General Guerrera...

is an ally in the w*r against
the Andean coke cartel.

No kidding?

To me he looks like another
cattle prod specialist...

-with an overactive libido.
-l'll k*ll you!

The DEA has no
jurisdiction here.

Guerrera's a suspect
in double homicides.

Tomorrow morning,
10 a.m., my office.

This is nuts!
What are we waiting for?

He could be halfway
to Santiago by now.

Brody assured me
he'll show for questioning.

Think we can get
a wiretap?

Doubtful.

Even if we could,
we can't tap...

a Consulate without
State approval.

-Fat chance.
-Why not?

'Cause the wind in Chile's
blown from the right since '73.

-So?
-D.C.'s not gonna upset...

the rabid anti-communist.

Even to the point
of covering a m*rder?

They may not have to.

lf we can't make a better case
against Guerrera, he walks.

We may have some luck
with this rental contract.

Guerrera's Maserati
has a car phone.

And?

Car phones are just radios.

They've got open frequencies
that transfer between zones.

So?

lf we stay in the same grid,
we can lock onto the frequency...

and monitor all calls.

Without a warrant.

Think that'll hold up
in court, Lieutenant?

lf we give probable cause,
stress exigent circumstances,...

minimize our monitoring
to relevant conversations.

Sounds like a yes to me.

-Hello?
-Where have you been?

We've had a plane ready
at Opa Loca all day.

l can't leave yet.
My business isn't finished.

Yeah? Well, Vice is ready
to put you out of business.

-Permanently.
-Do l sound worried?

You should be. Your gold star
doesn't count up here.

l'll leave when
your associate delivers.

l assume you profit
from that, as well?

l'm only in this
for the finder's fee.

$10,000 isn't enough
to risk my pension.

Fine, we'll make it 20.
Does that calm your nerves?

DEA brought you here
but l'm your handler.

Anything happens,
my butt's on the line.

So, while you're here,
do me a favor...

and leash the libido.

You can pick him up
with a normal police scanner?

Same thing the FBl used
to cr*ck the Pizza Connection in NY.

Trust me.

Hotel Du Cap?

Speed Styles, please.

Trust you?

ls the order filled?

All but the specialty item.
The other toys'll be shipped.

Should reach Puerto Barrios
in Guatemala...

in 4 to 6 weeks.

Come on, Stan!

You'll have it tomorrow.

But you have to take delivery
in Miami and move it yourself.

Where you leaving from?

l lost him.

We only got a name.

Guerrera called the Du Cap.
A guy named Speed Styles.

-l'll check the computer.
-Do that.

Homicide called.
We've got a related at the Tropical.

You're kidding.
su1c1de?

Bring back all the records,
including ballistics.

We could bet
on the type of g*n.

l'll tag along.

Rumor is this one
interests you.

A full confession
to your double homicide.

''Mother of God, forgive me.''

lt says:
''Mother of God, forgive me.

l'm sorry for taking the lives
of that girl and her boyfriend''.

How convenient.

Don't you just love
the symmetry?

Looks like Guerrera
won't have to be questioned.

-Why the hell not?
-Give me a break.

Ramon always drives
Guerrera's car.

You've got blackmail photos
of the hooker getting into it.

Now he confesses and kills himself
with the same g*n.

l guess Guerrera was home
making stuffed chilies.

He was in his room
at the Consulate.

lt was obviously Ramon
in the car.

Guerrera never drives himself.
There was only 1 man in the car.

-Case closed.
-Wait a minute.

-We've got proof...
-Give it up, Switek.

We're gonna have
to swallow hard on this one.

Agent Brody has the evidence.
We don't.

We can't questions
the DEA's wisdom.

When he's right,
he's right.

The other toys
will be shipped.

Should get to Puerto Barrios
in Guatemala...

in 4 to 6 weeks.

You think he's
moving snoW?.

Miami to Guatemala?
Wrong direction.

Besides, ''toys'' is code
for munitions.

-He's running g*ns?
-Maybe.

Chile's been closed
to U.S. munitions since '76...

when Carter accused Pinochet
of using Death Squads.

Play the rest.

That's where we lose it.

Maybe Special Operations
can clean it up.

lt's worth a try.

Stop acting like an old lady!
You've been well paid.

Not ifl'm an accessory
to m*rder one.

Who'd l k*ll noW?.

Did you think they'd buy
that Ramon did it himseif?.

A guilty conscience
is a heavy burden.

They have nothing.

They've got something.

l don't know what.
One of the cops slipped.

But l'd bet my life
they know something.

lf you cross me,...

you'll lose that bet.

You've nothing
to worry about.

l'm leaving the country
before they can do anything.

When?

Tomorrow. 4 o'clock.
Chalks Air.

Don't miss it.

Report says they cut out
all the highs,...

added some base response.

-Let's see.
-You can just make it out.

ls the order filled?

All but the specialty item.
Other toys'll be shipped.

lt should reach Puerto Barrios
in Guatemala...

in 4 to 6 weeks.
Then you're on your own.

And the CBU's?

-Did he say CBU's?
-Sounded like it.

weeks.
After you're on your own.

-And the CBU's?
-CBU's.

Canisterized Bomblet Units.

Cluster bombs.

The Vietnamese
called them ''bombies''.

We call them
''baseballs of death''.

The U.S. halted arms shipment
to Chile in 1976.

Since then, they've formed
their own weapons industry...

with clients like
lran and lraq.

Their chief export
is cluster bombs.

So why is Guerrera here
if he can get them at home?

l'm not sure.

You think this could be
news to Brody and the DEA?

l don't want to say anything
'til l know where Brody stands.

l think he's a rogue
and the DEA knows nothing.

-What's this?
-A munitions expert.

He may have a personal
interest in this.

l want the rest of you
to focus on Styles.

He's got five
outstanding warrants.

All we have are some
phone calls from a hotel.

Divide them up
and run them down.

We're almost out of time.

That's enough shrapnel
to take out a t*nk.

A few hundred years ago
we were throwing stones.

Yeah, wonderful progress
we're making.

Yes. That's the real thing.
Dead, of course.

The Lieutenant said you
may have a personal interest.

That's not hard to figure,
is it?

The sleeper version of that
bought me this chair.

-The sleeper?
-The new improved version.

lt lays dormant
until stepped on.

Nothing like hearing ''click''
and knowing it's your last step.

So,...

they don't differentiate
between soldiers and civilians?

Exactly.
Strictly anti-person.

They're illegal in 20 countries
and many victims are children.

After l lost these,
l started lobbying Washington...

to get the U.S.
to shop making them.

l'm don't get something.

lf Chile's the biggest
exporter of these,....

how come Guerrera
wants a U.S. model?

And Guerrera knows it's what
the Middle East wants.

lf they can build
a better mousetrap...

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Yes, l'll hold.

Another out-call service.

Styles is in his room
for 4 days,...

calls for pizza 9 times
and hookers twice.

Guess who he called
last week?

Get a warrant.

-Any other leads?
-l'm working the 904 area code.

Yeah?

No, Styles.

Wiley's Surplus.

-Who's calling?
-Sorry. Wrong number.

lt's a surplus place
in Eccles.

That's where
the Air Force Base is.

The biggest munitions depot
in the south.

l appreciate your punctuality.

You have them?

Expensive,...

but worth it.

The man is a major U.S. asset
in Latin American.

He's a sadistic head-case...

who's also side-running
cluster bombs.

What?
What'd you say?

What the hell
is he talking about?

A g*n-runner named Styles.

He's wanted in 6 countries.
Look familiar?

Yeah.

He's an ex-A*F agent.

Worked for you when you were
with Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

l don't suppose
you've seen him since?

-No.
-Of course not.

Look, Guerrera
helps us out sometimes.

He's been having trouble
getting some small arms.

There's an embargo.

-So you contacted Styles.
-Yeah.

He helps us take out
the garbage sometimes.

Well your buddy...

stole a CBU sleeper unit
from Eccles.

We wouldn't have known about it
if Guerrera didn't like hookers.

We figure he's gonna leave
with it sometime today.

-From where?
-What are you talking about?

The four $5,000 CDs
deposited to your account...

by an S. Styles.

lt's all legal.
We have a warrant.

You can talk with us
or with the U.S. attorney.

Anyone else at the DEA
in on this?

Way l see it,...

you got one chance
to b*at the rap on this.

He's here.

All set.

Chalks Air Flight 200
to Paradise lsland,...

l got 'em.

the Bahamas.
is ready to board.

Wait for my order.

Team 2.

Slowly move in
and stop the pilot.

Easy...

Freeze!

-Back off!
-Move!

Oh God! No!

l've got enough expl*sive
to blow us all.

-You'll die, too.
-l've nothing to lose.

Try me!

-Everyone down!
-Stay!

Move over!

-Oh my God...
-Move!

Go ahead.

Good.
That's nice.

-Pick it up.
-No...

-Pick it up!
-No!

No!

This nice little lady
and l are getting on board...

and everyone's
gonna be real nice.

Right?

Oh my God!

My God!

Go.

Let's go!

lt won't get far.
l didn't fuel up the plane.

Crockett.

Stay with the plane.
