Miami Vice

A family dinner at a South American restaurant. Tubbs sits

with the youngest daughter on his lap. Maria is on the other

side of him. This is the image that almost comes to life.

We hear the vivacious latin ambience late on a Sunday

afternoon when families take the grandparents and have

dinner.

INT. KITCHEN - SUB ZERO REFRIGERATOR

MOVE from the bright glare of the interior ONTO

the broad neck of a MAN. A Viking is tattooed there. The

image morphs into a naked woman presenting her rear to a

muscled biker next to a chopper above a swastika residing

between shoulder blades. SS lightning bolts are on his neck.

PULL BACK from this MAN, who is bent into the frig because

he's hungry. His head is shaved and he's naked from the

waist up. A BLACK HEFTY GARBAGE BAG is tied around his

waist. Yellow industrial gloves are on his hands. Something

bad is happening in this house...

CUT TO:

INT. HELICOPTER - NIGHT

It's a Sikorski skimming across the water of Biscayne Bay on

a moonlit night at living-room level past stilt houses.

RICARDO TUBBS:

pilots the chopper past the brightly lit windows of high-rise

Collins Avenue condos for the fugitive rich...and heads

towards the MacArthur Causeway.

CROCKETT:

What's our deal?

TUBBS:

Backup in case the Russians get

physical.

CROCKETT:

How lucky's Miss Universe gotta be?

TUBBS:

Skin has to touch skin. That's the

requirement for the warrant. Then

he makes a credible excuse and he

stops....

(beat)

Her crew blackmailed and asset-

stripped the last mark down to his

social security...
