After I pick up Acosta and
meet Levec, we go to the drop.

How are you gonna
give us the location?

There's no way I'll be able to do that.
Lieutenant, I ought to be making the meet.

Acosta's Colombian. He doesn't
trust Anglos. It has to be me.

Right on the button,
Melendez. Very impressive.

I'm not here to impress you.

I'm here to take care
of my interests.

And my only concern is to make sure
that Levec's goods are delivered properly.

And you are not in this meeting
to sidestep me with the old man, okay?

I'm in this meeting to take care of my
cocaine, not worry about your career moves.

Levec is a first-class guy, man.

You gonna see that tonight.
It's all taken care of.

Good. Impress me.
It's healthier for you.

Vamos, Pepe.

Don't talk to me about time again.

Por favor, da me un break.

Six minutes never
killed anybody, you know.

I can kill 20 men in six minutes.

This merchandise
will be worth waiting for.

My God, how'd you like to be Acosta and have
to tell Levec that you lost the whole load?

The old man may not
give Acosta a second chance.

- Nothing on the chopper.
- Well, who were those guys, ghosts?

- They were pros.
- Dead commando's prints paid off.

John Lockdam, 35-year-old vet,
long-range reconnaissance.

He was a LRRP?
You're lucky you got out at all.

Guy was a Miccosukee Indian. Call Washington and see
if there's any other LRRPs living in South Florida.

- Go down and, uh, see if you can catch 15 minutes
with Sergeant Pine over at Metro. - He's a Seminole.

See if he can help us out on this.

Cool.

Uh-oh, Commander Pursley's coming.

Oh, Lieutenant,
you have a moment?

Yeah.

Martin, if it wasn't a problem,
I wouldn't have come down here.

The department has always backed
your level of involvement,

but to have you out there...

I appreciate your concern,
Lieutenant. I really do.

So, who's running O.C.B.

Crockett's in charge
and it stays that way...

until I put Levec
and Acosta out of business.

Don't get yourself killed.
I'd hate to replace you.

We scored big against
the white man today, boys.

John Lockdam died
for the glory of our people.

His family would be proud.

We found this amulet on a dead
commando. Does this mean anything?

It's Miccosukee. You can buy imitations
of 'em at the Big Cypress Reservation.

You ever hear of any involvements
in drug runners down there?

No, have you in the black community?

Come on, Sergeant. No, I'm not
kidding. It couldn't happen out there.

Why not? People adhere to the
old values. They wouldn't allow it.

They pretty much stayed to themselves out there
in the swamps until Chief Jumper took over.

He sort of allowed the white man in to buy
souvenirs, play bingo and watch alligator wrestling.

He's the man to see.

I really appreciate your time,
Chief Jumper.

I was wondering if I could talk to somebody
on the reservation about Miccosukee life,

maybe gain some insights
into modern-day practices.

Sideshows aren't in depth enough?
No, not for my purpose.

Oh, a reporter? No, actually, I'm
doing research on my doctoral thesis.

"Oppression in the Land of the Free."

We get one about every three, four
years that want to carry that same torch.

Unfortunately, none ever had the in-depth
or the understanding to do it right.

That's interesting.

The best way to learn
about a people, Mr. Cooper,

is to immerse yourself in our way of life.
Do you have any suggestions?

Becky Wells, she can best explain the
difference between your world and ours.

She's lived in both long enough
to gain some insight.

She works for us.

Thanks.

I am absolutely appalled
of the laxity of my security.

Let's just be grateful that you survived
so that we can continue doing business.

My survival is gonna
cost you, Mr. Levec.

You can understand that, I'm sure.

Sir, about this Indian thing...
Yes, Anthony.

It's gotten completely
out of control.

I think that they have to be
disciplined, like children.

Like children, Anthony?

Do you know that they have totally disrupted any
type of a schedule that I've tried to establish?

We're at least two months
behind. How does, uh...

Mr. Melendez, how does that
affect our distribution deal?

The delays are costing you approximately
20% of your established lines.

If they continue,

I'm gonna lose a lot of money.

Hmm, I understand.

Sir, I have a major drop
happening tomorrow afternoon.

Please, do you think I can pull this thing
off with whatever means are necessary?

Violence is a precious commodity,
Anthony. You've yet to learn that.

Yes, sir. But this time
it's justified. Stop. Don't.

Mr. Melendez, can we depend
upon your services for this next drop?

Yes, if you can guarantee me
his security arrangements.

You have my word, Mr. Melendez.

Anthony, you will have
no further interruption.

Can I just... If there is,
I'll take it personally.

Well, that's, uh...
that's about all.

Thank you.
My pleasure, Mr. Melendez.

Acosta's setting up for another drop.
Are you anywhere?

Nothing much. No one
seems to be hiding anything.

Acosta said something
about the Indians.

It's possible Levec has made
arrangements for the Miccosukee.

I don't know. Chief Jumper,
he's a pretty straight arrow.

Out for the good of his people, just
got a clinic built, that kind of thing.

Somebody had to tell those
commandos about the deal at the Bowl.

What about the chief?
I can't believe he's a player.

Sell the coke and give the money
to the tribe. That's one way to do it.

Stay close to the phone. Get
ready to move and watch your back.

Right, Lieutenant.

And that was the way it was
with the Miccosukee.

Ten years ago, we were completely
dependent on the federal government.

Now, more than half our revenue
comes from our own ventures:

The bingo halls,
the sale of tax-free cigarettes.

We also built our own baseball field.

All without help from Washington.

- Are there any questions?
- Excuse me, may I say something?

You should be very happy
with what Washington give you.

Many people would give anything
to come over here, you know.

Well, since we were here and
all of South Florida was our land,

we don't feel Washington
gave us anything.

Thank you for visiting Big Cypress.

You've been a wonderful group.

Ah, excuse me, Becky Wells?

Mr. Cooper?
Yes.

Uh, the chief said
to expect an academic, but...

Well, you can't tell a book by looking at the
cover. Uh, would you mind if I talk to you?

Many of our men saw
the military as an opportunity.

Many of them became disillusioned,
so they came back and went native.

Why was that?

Well, other than this, many of them
still live the traditional way.

A lot of the young people
emulate them.

It's a very positive thing.
How about you?

Well, I just work on trying to keep the white
man aware of our world to understand it.

So what do you think?
Oh, wow. It's beautiful.

It's my home.

Come with me.
There's more, lots more.

I'd like to welcome all of you
to the Miccosukee Indian Village.

The first stunt that Tommy will be doing
is opening the alligator's mouth.

The alligator has 80 teeth,
40 on top and 40 on the bottom.

And he does not have a tongue,
but they do have what is called a palate.

So what do you call this?
Survival.

Tommy will next be performing what
is called bulldogging. Yeah, survival.

That means he will be putting
the alligator's chin under his own chin.

Who's that guy over there?

That's the chief's son. He'd be a
good interview, if he'll talk to you.

Seven and a half feet long,
and weights approximately 275 pounds.

These animals live to be
75 to 100 years old.

And they are raised domestically...
Be careful, Tommy... here in Florida.

The next stunt Tommy is going to do
is to put the animal to sleep...

by gently rubbing his stomach.

What happens Is the blood rushes
to the alligator's brain...

and because the brain is small,
it puts it to sleep.

Tommy will make the gator mating
call, which will wake up the gator.

As you can now see, the alligator
is quite alert and very active.

Ladies and gentlemen,
that's our show for today.

I'd like to thank all of you for coming
to the Miccosukee Indian Village.

I hope you enjoyed the show.

Thank you again.
Amazing.

And how was your trip into the city?

Not bad. It was all right.
Ah, lovely, lovely. Splendid.

Uh, there are some... there are some
things I want to talk to you about, Chief.

Some of your people do not
have a sense of business acumen.

That's okay. I understand that.
But some of your people who do,

do not know the meaning
of our arrangement,

and frankly, that, uh...
that troubles me.

I don't understand.

Business warranties are sacred to me.
I've... I've been generous to your people.

Gymnasiums, libraries,
medical facilities, food, cash.

The rich can well afford
to be generous, Mr. Levec.

There's no way back, Chief.
I invested in your authority.

I expect you to maintain
control over your braves.

Otherwise, I cannot be held accountable
for the peccadillos of my associates.

Well, I'm getting tired sitting
around here waiting for it to snow.

We may have a cold front moving in.

Here's the D.O.D. list
on ex-LRRPs in Dade County.

Have they all got the same address?
Yeah, the reservation.

All lethal commando trained,
courtesy of Uncle.

Two of 'em are
qualified to fly Hueys.

They look good
for the job in the Bowl.

Recognize any of the names? Yeah,
Joe Dan Jumper. He's the chief's son.

He runs some kind of, uh, back-to-nature
boot camp deep in the Glades.

But I don't see him as a
snowman. What do you see him as?

- I don't know.
- Trudy, I want you to call the marine commandant's office.

Get a full service jacket on these guys...
psych profiles, the works.

It's gonna take some time.
When's the next load due?

Soon. Gleason's got a job coming in.
It's gonna be in the water.

Keep an eye on your buddy, Joe Dan.
He may make a move on the load.

Keep in touch with me.
You can get me on the cellular.

You sold us out for
the white man's drug money. Why?

For the good of the tribe.
You know that.

Not the whole tribe.

The vast majority supported me. Yeah, well,
I wouldn't be too sure about that either.

If I'd talked to my father the way you
speak to me, he'd have skinned me alive.

In the old days,
they had respect for the chiefs.

Would your father have misled
the tribe to make this devil's bargain?

He'd have made it in his day
to save our people.

Yeah, well, your father
earned the respect.

That's more than I can say about you.

Oh, that was fantastic.

You're not the first, you know.
What do you mean, I'm not the first?

You're not the first academic who's
tried to use us to get research money.

Aw, come on, Becky. You think |
came down here to score a Guggenheim?

- Well, why are you here?
- That's what I'd like to know.

For 400 years, the white man's
exploited us for our land.

It's ironic that a black man would
come down here, exploit us for a book.

Hey, be cool, brother man. You're
carrying a boulder on your shoulders.

Why don't you just loosen up?
Loosen up?

While Washington cuts our subsidies
and Tallahassee cuts our water rights?

You wanna know what's loose?

The screw in my father's head for letting
an outsider like you get this close.

You think you're
the only people of color...

who have to crawl
on their knees in this country?

You give me a little Trail of Tears
and I'll give you a Little Rock.

For every Indian massacred,
I'll give you a lynching.

You had Custer. We've got the Klan.
What's the difference?

What are you saying? I'm saying that
you don't have a monopoly on suffering.

I'm black, you're red.

To the white man, we're
both colored. Simple as that.

We're both outsiders
in the white man's country.

What do you really want?
Like I told Becky,

I want to see what
the Miccosukees are about.

I'd like to get to know you.

Where I live, you wouldn't last
an hour without your Cadillac.

Try me.

Today. It's happening today.

Acosta, you told me
you'd give me 24 hours notice.

Si, chico.
But that was then, this is now.

Where?
Everglades, by Big Cypress.

Thirty keys de lo mejor, top-shelf.

Hmm.

Por qué no?
W-What's the matter?

- It's Miccosukee country.
- Man, you're the tough guy, Melendez.

What are you,
scared of the swamps now?

I'm not stupid, Acosta.
They took you out once already.

Now you're on their turf. You don't
got a chance against the Indians.

Oyeme, if In jun Joe tries
to pull that same stunt again,

we got enough firepower to blow him
clean into the happy hunting ground.

I understand, man.
I'm gonna pass.

Melendez,

uh, if you stay,

I make it five points per key.
Piensalo.

Cinco puntos, mi socio.
In or out?

-I'm in.
- Perfecto, perfecfto.

Okay, uh, we'll pick you up on
the docks near the MacArthur...

at 4:00.

Don't be late, okay?

Pepe.

No, not since this morning.

He has to be warned.
The deal's set in the Glades.

Joe Dan interferes, Acosta's planning to
restage the massacre at Wounded Knee.

Lieutenant, let me go out there.
I can get word to Tubbs. No.

I need you at the base.
That's an order.

So, uh, where were we going?
Yachting.

This is how we deal with the so-called
advantages of civilization, Mr. Cooper.

You're gonna make
some alligators very jumpy.

Better the gators than the schoolkids.

I guess he's trying
to create a tribal utopia...

the old ways, love for the land.

Mining the swamps
with claymores?

Sounds more like
Haiphong Harbor revisited.

What?

Well, he didn't exactly cop
to laying the mines.

It was more like, uh,
you know, "Watch this."

Plus, he dumped the load.

The guy dumps 30 keys
into the swamps?

Man, that gives new meaning
to "Just say no."

Why? That's what we do.

Yeah, but we get paid for it.

Well, like I said, the chief thinks that
taking the drug money helps the tribe.

Joe Dan, he thinks that it...
poisons their minds.

Where are the D.O.D. files?

Trudy's pulling them
off the fax right now.

Trudy.

All right, all right.
I'm doing the best I can. Just got it.

Okay, Silver Star.
Two bronze medals.

This guy's a damn hero.

Wait a minute.

It says here he was
war wounded in Grenada.

Went to a V.A. Hospital in Hawaii,

and six months later,
he was discharged on a Section 8.

Trudy, check with the V.A. Hospital.
See where he's been since then.

Right.
Tubbs, check out his agenda.

The truth: Before we built the clinic,

the elder and sick suffered greatly
for lack of medical attention.

Death stared at us daily.

Our pains and agony were constant.

Alcohol and child abuse was rampant.

Our infant mortality rate was 15...

20% higher than
the American national average.

Wake up!
What's the point of...

Just chill. It's okay.

We wish the elders no disrespect.

And we applaud the builders
of the health clinic.

But this pandering to drug pushers will only result
in greater pain and suffering for our people.

And when payment is due
on the tribal construction loan?

Then we'll do as we've always done.

Stop living a fool's dream. You want
to live off roots and berries, go ahead.

It's better than living off
the white man's vices.

We already peddle duty-free
cancer sticks and legalized gambling.

What the hell difference does it make? If the white
man wants to kill himself with drugs, let him.

We only lease him the land.

That's only half the truth.

Tell them!

We've already gone
through all of this.

First they rent,
and then they own us.

You saw them.
They treated you like a slave.

Is that the kind of world that
we want to bring our infants into?

Let's put it in a vote.

The council members have
already voted, and that is it.

Is that true?

Then we'll deal with the pushers
on our own terms.

And jeopardize the life
of every tribal member?

You did that, Chief.

Hey, wait a minute, man. Where
you going? To protect my people.

You're gonna start a bloodbath.

I'm trying to prevent one.
By taking the law...

The law into my own hands.
That's right.

You're starting to sound like my father,
Cooper. Well, maybe your father...

is right about some things, huh?

What about Little Rock
and Selma, Cooper?

You folks broke the law of the land
for a higher good, right?

Civil disobedience doesn't
include blowing people up.

Yeah, well, the times,
they are a-changin'.

Your organization has been the
envy of so many for so long, but yet...

Now, now,
internal management is a...

rather difficult fence
to walk at times.

We have a lot of money and a lot
of time invested in this interest.

But yet you insist on
handing it to Acosta.

Oh, a terrible, terrible,
bad judgment on my part.

I-I just don't know why I decided
to give him a second chance.

You know,
where I come from,

the term "second chance"
doesn't exist.

There's your reputation
for efficiency.

Very good. That's why
we're doing business together.

I don't see business. I see
Indians. I don't see business.

I guarantee you
next time will be different.

I won't deal with Acosta.

Don't let Acosta concern you.

Excuse me.

Senor Acosta.

Levec's cutting his expenses.

He's also cleaning house.
The chief may be next.

And Joe Dan's about to go
on the warpath. What's our move?

Switek's on his way back
from the D.A. Office.

I wanna see if we have enough
to move on Levec.

I'll send Becky Wilson back to the chief's
house and have them meet at Joe Dan's camp.

Maybe I can get them to talk
and reduce the body count.

Can you trust her? Don't have
much choice, but yeah, I do.

Keep me informed.

Yeah, uh, Lieutenant.

It's not enough.

The D.A. has no proof Levec
actually stuffed Acosta in the tank.

So everybody's a free agent. They get
to have their little war. Let's go home.

Chief! Chief Jumper.

Where's Joe Dan?
Becky, what happened?

Where is he?
I don't know.

He's in some private place.
Apparently, it's some big secret.

Well, that's just great.
Well, what's going on?

They've taken his father.

What's the matter with you?
He's your chief.

Maybe you should stay here.
He's gone.

It's the price we pay
for nonviolence.

I warned you. Unless you bite the white
man in the throat, he'll kill you first.

Now they have my father.

Levec and his men
tore off to the reservation.

When was the last time
we heard from Tubbs?

Six hours now.

This just came from the V.A.

Joe Dan was wounded, all right,
but it wasn't physical.

"Diagnosis: Acute schizophrenia.
War-induced trauma."

What's that mean?

It means Joe Dan's probably suffering
from post-traumatic stress disorders.

Says here that he still gets his monthly
supplementary income checks for his disability.

Let me see that.

I thought Joe Dan
lived on the reservation.

Rico says he does. He has a
place there, deep in the Glades.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then how come
they're sending his S.S.I. checks...

to Bayshore Towers in Boca?

No. I need you here.

Let me know when you
get a fix on that address.

Oh, damn, I hate this crap.

Aren't those, uh, crossbows
a little high-tech?

You got a problem with that?
No.

No, I just... I thought you
were the old values freak.

And maybe the regular, you know,
bow and arrow would be more in keeping.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That'd be
picturesque as all hell, wouldn't it?

But, uh, this ain't no war dance
for tourists, Cooper.

I don't think Levec's
gonna be taking photos.

Well, I think it's a little overkill.

Well, when you go up
against the white man,

you gotta match his firepower.

You know, I've been wondering.

Is it the cocaine that bothers you, or is it
the fact that it's the white man's cocaine?

Either way,
it's our mission to stop it.

And this time,
we're gonna stop it good.

I thought the mission was
to get your father back.

Castillo.

Yeah, you know that address
where Joe Dan's checks are being sent?

What about it? It's the most
expensive condo in Boca.

Studios go for a half a mil.
And Joe Dan's got the penthouse.

Want me to meet you there? No.

Stay at the O.C.B.
I'll try to raise Tubbs myself.

Hello.
Who's this?

Becky Wells. Who's this?

This is Lieutenant
Martin Castillo, Miami Vice.

Uh, you work on the reservation?

Yes, how did you know that?
Ricardo Cooper told me about you.

He said you could be trusted.
What's wrong?

He's a police officer. And he
hasn't been able to be contacted.

You know Levec?
Yes.

He and Joe Dan went there.
Is there anything I can do?

You've already done enough.
Thank you very much.

I'm gonna go around back...

and see if I can find the chief
before the fireworks start.

That okay with you?
Yeah, sure.

Hey, Cooper.
What?

Good luck.

What a game.

Okay, you've eliminated
the competition. Now what?

What competition? The coke
that you dumped in the swamps.

It wasn't coke.

And this wasn't a crusade.
It was a power struggle.

Not bad, Cooper.
Or is it Cooper?

It isn't, but it doesn't matter. What
matters is what's happening right here.

Yeah, what's happening?

You're a lucky man, brother Cooper.
I'm only killing white men today.

Where's Joe Dan?
He's gone.

The cat, man, is crazy.

What you intend to do
when you get wherever you're going?

Go ahead, run. Leave.

Leave your mess behind.
Destroy your people.

The hell does it matter now?

Who the hell are you?
You're not my son.

How far you expect to get?
As far as money can buy.

What the hell difference
does it make?

Your mind will always
be over there.

You're always lecturing, aren't you,
oh, great, wise chief?

Me, I'd rather be rich than wise.

So that's what the hell
Levec was talking about.

Yeah, that's the stuff... cocaine.

You never saw any, did you? The whole time you're
doing business with Levec for chump change.

Oh, excuse me,
for the good of the tribe.

I've been a damn fool.

You can say that again, sucker.

Maybe, but I can still
go back home, be forgiven.

But you, Joseph...
You're lost, son, lost.

I'm lost? I'm lost?

Who's gonna
find you here, old man?

I'm sick of this yapping, this crap.
I've been taking it from you for years!

Yeah, the old ways
are the best, huh?

We should have sent you
out to pasture a long time ago.

Hello, Joe.

Thanks for leaving the door open.

Not unless you want
to visit your ancestors.

Hey, I'm not packing.
I may as well be a hero.

Yeah, there's a lot
of them in the joint.

That's not my gig, brother.

I've done my time on that
bingo farm in the Everglades.

Now you may know what I am,

but I'm still a role model
to all the young braves.

- And you're not gonna tell.
- Tell them what?

That the mystic warrior
was a freaked-out sideshow,

and they were taken in?

Nobody held a gun to their heads.

Damn it, boy.

A young brave was killed out there
for you. Doesn't that bother you?

Yeah, well, I guess
I should return the favor.

Hey, come on, man.

Hey, you know what
they say, brother man.

Better to die a hero
than to live on your knees.

- No!
- Joseph!

No! Don't!
