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

[Crockett On Phone]
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.

[Car Door Opens, Closes]
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.

[Helicopter Whirring]

[Grunts]

Don't talk to me about time again.

[Scoffs]
Por favor, da me un break.

Six minutes never
killed anybody, you know.

I can kill 20 men in six minutes.

[Speaking Spanish]
This merchandise
will be worth waiting for.

[Projectile Whistling]

[Machine Gun Fire]

[Gunfire Continues]

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 ofbusiness.

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?
[Laughing]

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 ChiefJumper 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,
ChiefJumper.

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.

[Levec]
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.

[Castillo]
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.

[Chuckles]
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?

[Tubbs]
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. ChiefJumper,
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.
[Dial Tone]

[Woman]
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?
[Man]
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.

[Muttering]

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.

[Woman On P.A.]
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,
ifhe'll talk to you.

[Woman On P.A.]
Seven and a half feet long,
and weights approximately 275 pounds.

- [No Audible Dialogue]
- 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.
[Applause]

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.

[Hissing]

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.
[Chuckles]
Amazing.

[Levec]
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.

[Switek]
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.

[Tubbs]
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.

[No Audible Dialogue]

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 I 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 ofTears
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.
[Chuckling]

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.

Sí, 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 Injun Joe tries
to pull that same stunt again,

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

[Spanish]
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, perfecto.

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

at 4:00.

Don't be late, okay?

Pepe.

[Spanish]

[Ringing]

[Line Ringing]

No, not since this morning.

[Castillo]
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.

[Joe Dan]
Better the gators than the schoolkids.

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

the old ways, love for the land.

[Scoffs]
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—

[Joe Dan]
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.

L-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.

[Chuckling]
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.

Señor Acosta.

Levec's cutting his expenses.

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

[Tubbs]
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 atJoe 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! ChiefJumper.

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 thoughtJoe 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.

[Sighs]
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.

[Cell Phone Ringing]
Castillo.

Yeah, you know that address
whereJoe 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.

[Beeping]

[Chattering]

[Cell Phone Ringing]

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.

[Projectile Whistling]
[Man Screams]

[Gasps]

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.
[Vehicle Approaching]

[Tires Screeching]

Where's Joe Dan?
He's gone.

The cat, man, is crazy.

[ChiefJumper]
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.

[Laughing]

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.
[Chuckles]

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.
[Hammer Cocks]

Thanks for leaving the door open.

Not unless you want
to visit your ancestors.

[Chuckling]
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.

Ayoung 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!
- [ChiefJumper]Joseph!

No! Don't!
