Morning.

What are you so happy about?

It's 6 a.m.

I'm 30 years old, live at the beach,

and I drive a sports car.

Only one problem.

You have to go to work.

That's not the problem.

That's the good part.

Speaking of good parts.

- You gonna wish me luck? - Good luck.

I don't need it.

Hey!

- Morning, Liz. - Gordy.

Ed's son called this morning.

He can be with us at the beach house over Christmas.

As long as Ed still has those two weeks off.

He's got 'em.

I know how much Ed wants to see the boy.

Thanks.

My ride. See ya.

- Big Ed. - Hola, Gordy.

Liz still on that surveillance in North Miami?

West Palm Beach, amigo, only the best for my wife.

What's happening with the funsters?

Oh, well, let me see.

Quantico sent me a memo.

Seems they want me to ensure that the entire squad

meets the weight requirement.

I got a sinking feeling that includes me?

I don't suppose you could explain to them

in a rational way that I'm not really as big as I look.

Hey, what happened to Ben?

Looks like he ran his bicycle up a tree or something.

Hey, Grinch.

Ben.

I've got some more on that heist

at Steak and Ale restaurant,

so see me after you change clothes.

What happened to you this morning?

I got run off the road by some kid

who could barely see over the steering wheel.

I got his tags, though.

I'm gonna run him through Tallahassee

and find out who he is.

He is in for one big surprise.

Yeah, I almost feel sorry for the kid.

But the funniest thing was Bradford's little brother.

At breakfast, kept putting his toes in the yogurt.

I bet you guys egged him on the whole time.

No, we, we told him to stop.

I bet.

But he just kept licking it off.

Sounds delightful.

It was gross.

We loved it.

Hi.

I'll be home late.

All right. You gonna be with Bill again?

Yeah.

I got a line on a new business.

Me and Bill invested in some pinball machines.

Michael, you don't know a thing about pinball machines.

Yeah, well, I didn't know anything about trees either,

but that didn't stop me from building up

a damn slick landscaping business, did it?

Yeah, that's true, but...

Bill scoped out all kinds of ways

of making this thing pay off.

We're gonna put these machines in ice cream parlors.

Stuff like that.

What's matter?

I just don't know why you need him.

You were doing okay before he moved down here.

We're doing all right now.

It's just a little extra money.

Each one of these machines is gonna bring in $100 a week.

I'll be right there, Willie!

Look, Sandra.

I'm just trying to help Bill out.

He's been having a rough time.

And it is a cash business.

We're gonna need a lot of it

if we want to keep living like this.

I can't make it just cutting lawns now, can I?

Huh?

- No, I guess not. - I guess not.

- I'll see you later. - Okay.

Corey, nice work on that science project.

Thanks.

Mike said he'd show me how to handle a gun,

if that's okay with you.

He said he'd show me stuff you learn in the Army.

No, it's not okay with me.

Why would you wanna know about that stuff, anyway?

Where'd you get this?

Ripped it off a car in front of

that woman's gym on South Dixie.

Man, a guy like me could have a good time

in a place like that.

Real good.

Sounds to me like you're not getting enough at home.

Hell, I'm getting plenty.

I'm paying for it.

Carol Anne's pregnant.

Boy, you are paying for it.

I'm sorry, Jake, I had hepatitis when I was a kid.

I never been able to donate.

Eddie, I checked your files.

Only disease you've had is chicken pox.

I'll let you go next week.

Steak and Ale robbery.

It's different, so I'm giving it to you.

We get lots of robberies,

what makes this one so different?

Top page.

Two suspects hit the armored car

with enough firepower to start a revolution.

Had military camouflage clothing, face masks,

automatic weapons, walkie talkies, combat boots.

Well, that's different.

And for all that, they only got a little over $2000?

I'll get on this right away, Gordy.

Oh, and by the way.

Latest ransom demand on your missing tie came in.

Haven't seen that tie 14 months.

Who's got it now?

The Anchorage office.

That's right, Grinch.

The kidnappers are demanding that you wear

an open collar for six days,

or you'll never see that tie alive again.

Does the term, "fat chance, sweetheart"

mean anything to you guys?

N-K-O-B is here.

- Agent Dove. - Yeah.

Well, Jerry, you've got an impression file.

Excellent record at the academy,

outstanding performance reports,

superior SWAT training record.

All of which made me ask when your request

for a transfer came in, how can this man hurt us?

I won't.

I don't make mistakes.

Uh-huh.

Well, you're certainly qualified,

but you don't have much field experience.

Two years organized crime squad.

Doesn't mean you're ready for us.

We run a fast break here.

Sir, I worked the '84 Olympics,

I was born for the reactive squad.

Everybody knows it's the best work in the FBI.

It can be

Each one of our agents handles between 25 and 35 cases

at any one time,

and we are all available for any one case.

Bullpen gets a little crazy at times.

Do you see that gray haired man sitting over there?

53 years old and he's still the best shot in Miami.

Ben Grogan.

I've been hearing about him since the academy.

He's incredible.

He's more than that, he's your SWAT commander.

Yes, sir.

Everybody in the bullpen ticks,

some a little louder than others.

So when something goes down, we pull together as a unit.

If shots are fired, only bad guys get whacked.

We have a perfect record and we want to keep it that way.

You're not afraid of guns, are you?

Yes sir, I am.

Good.

Willy!

Well, maybe this one works.

There you go.

These machines are all shorted out.

What I gotta do is run the circuits.

That's not the problem, Willie!

This what supposed to be easy!

These machines are supposed to work for us!

What do you wanna do?

Ben Grogan, Jerry Dove.

Jerry's SWAT trained.

Ooh, we can always use another one of you guys.

I was hoping you'd start him off

with something reasonable.

Here you go.

Start getting familiar with the Steak and Ale case.

I've gotta run this tag through Tallahassee.

Some kid almost squashed me with his family car.

Listen,

I tried to learn most of the procedures

even before I applied for the squad.

What's N-K-O-B?

New kid on the block.

That's what you are until Ed Mireles

gives you a nickname,

and that doesn't happen until you're

really one of the funsters.

John Hanlon is really the Jakester.

When he's not in court, he can slide paperwork

through the bureaucracy faster than anyone alive or dead.

The Marine over there without the uniform is Ron Risner.

Dick Manoas is the Count.

Gordy's the Incredible Hulk when you get to know him better,

and Mireles is the Refrigerator.

And what are you?

Ben Grogan.

We used to do this in the Army.

Pretty good at it, too, huh?

- Yeah, yeah. - Do you think?

We're not interested in your pinball machines anymore.

We want our money back.

All of it.

And if we have any more problems with you,

like police problems...

We'll be back.

You believe me?

Man, did you see the look on that dude's face?

He couldn't believe us.

Hear his teeth rattle?

I should have shoved that .44 in his mouth, you know?

- It was great. - That's great.

Just great.

We ought to go back to ripping off drug dealers.

Nah, no way.

They're all a bunch of greasers now

and they got all kinds of weapons.

We're safer going up against the cops.

Check that out.

It's a piece of cake.

Look at that dumb broad!

To hell with her.

Freeze, old man!

All right, get up.

Unlock door.

I unlock the truck!

I don't have no key.

Open the damn door!

Come on, open it!

I'm sorry, I tried. Please.

We're outta here.

We didn't get anything.

I did.

We have over two dozen new witnesses

and no two people saw the same thing,

except for a light-colored Monte Carlo.

You know, I'm glad you federal boys

have to handle these bank robberies.

If it wasn't for the FBI, you local heroes

wouldn't have enough time to go chasing

your purse snatchers.

I'll tell you something, Gordy.

Metro-Dade handles over 6000 robberies a year,

but I've never seen anything like this one.

Military surplus smoke grenade.

Cute, huh?

Doesn't make any sense.

All this, and they get the guard going in when he's empty

instead of catching him on his way out.

They missed $40,000.

Great.

Not smart.

Well-armed.

And they'll learn.

Everything is written.

We follow scripture.

We walk with the Lord.

No doubt about it.

Most of you that's been here a while

heard all about tragedy in my life.

My loving wife, Patty, so brutally murdered by a robber

back there in Ohio.

Stabbed 16 times and slit her throat.

You see the way that candle was blowed out,

leaving me a widower.

Small baby girl to look after.

Many times since, I've been tempted by despair,

but Lord wouldn't let me.

Come to Miami.

My little girl.

A new wife and her son.

To start a new life.

You accepted us in your hearts and let us worship with you.

And I wanna thank Reverend Hunt for letting me give witness

about how things have turned around for me.

Even though my life has been all peaches and cream,

I thank the Lord, because as much as I seen,

I've learned to take the bad with the good.

- Amen. - Amen.

Nice shot.

- But you killed a mailman. - Sorry, Ron.

I can't believe I did that.

It's okay, Jerry, this takes a lot of work.

I know better, Ben.

I never wanted anything but this.

Coulda done worse.

Almost everyone nails Mama the first time through.

Go over it in the bullpen.

Let's see you do that without the glasses.

You kidding?

I couldn't hit it from here.

So Dove didn't do so hot in the scenario.

He'll settle down.

He's our best shot once he learns to pick the right target.

You got anything new on that Monte Carlo?

Only that it's a late model,

maybe white, maybe yellow,

maybe gold, or maybe beige.

What about the guard that was shot in the leg?

Mireles interviewed him in the hospital.

The guy doesn't remember anything except that shotgun.

Says he's sorry he ever left Cuba.

What's the bottom line?

We don't even know the color of the suspect's skin.

Well, one thing we do know for sure,

they're not shy about firing their weapons.

The only thing the witnesses all agree on

is the bad guys look and act like real soldiers.

You think they might be active duty?

I'm checking that out, but anyone can get

all the experience they need right here in Miami.

The Everglades.

Place is full of off the wall paramilitary groups,

survivalists, supremacists, gun freaks.

We should check out some of the hotspots

along the Tamiami Trail.

- You won't catch me! - Come on, come on.

Hey, why don't we take a trip somewhere, Bill?

You know, I have always wanted to see the Smoky Mountains.

How am I gonna pay for all this?

I gotta make a living.

Couple of months you're gonna look like hell

in that bathing suit.

Can't you say something nice?

Well, I did that at church.

Hey, Willie.

Oh, they heard about Patty and all before, Bill,

oodles of times.

Don't you think everybody knows

you used the same old sob story

to date all the single women back home?

Heck, you even proposed to a lot of 'em.

Everybody knows all about it.

Yeah.

I had my pick of the litter and I had to pick her.

They only went out with you because

you bought them jewelry.

You disgust me.

I told you I didn't want another kid!

I want you the hell outta my house!

- Your house? - I bought it with my money.

You mean Patty's money.

If we ever get a divorce, I want you to know

I am going after half this house.

They wear thin quick, don't they?

Oh boy, yeah.

Well, I found a way to fix that.

- Let's take a ride. - Daddy.

Get in the house, Melissa.

See you, sweetheart.

Hi.

Yo, listen up.

I'm divorced.

Hi.

This is Mike.

Hi, Mike.

So, where do you two know each other from?

Bill said something about the Army.

The Rangers.

We were sort of an elite.

Sneak behind enemy lines.

Destroy, liquidate, stuff like that.

Is that true?

That's us.

Rednecks, white trucks, Blue Ribbon beer.

Blue Ribbon beer.

This man right here saved my life once, on a mission.

In Vietnam?

I can't say anymore about it than that.

It still classified.

I don't believe you.

Lady, I was a platoon two leader.

You look up my record at Fort Gordon.

At Fort Campbell, I was Army Airborne.

You know something?

I don't care if she believes me or not.

Mike's done more than you can know.

You owe him an apology.

I don't know why I said that.

I'm sorry.

I just came in on all this, okay?

Hey, why don't we all do something together?

You and your wife.

We can go to Disney World.

That's a great idea. What do you say, Mike?

We got things to do, Willie.

What's your name?

Vicky.

Well, Vicky, I don't know if I should be telling you this,

but we got a major drug dealer coming into Miami

the next couple days.

And Bill and I...

Not now.

Willie and I gotta arrange a little welcome for him.

You're from the Central Intelligence Agency?

Under contract of the CIA.

They'll deny it, of course, but ever since the military

and our are specialized training,

they send us in to intercept the dealers

and interdict the flow of drugs.

Wow.

And we get to keep the proceeds.

Money, not drugs.

Good.

You see, the way the law reads,

a lot of these jokers get off on technicalities.

The cops' hands are tied.

Something's gotta be done about.

Is that right, Willie?

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

We're not dressing down because we have a warrant

and I want 'em to know who we are.

This is the most active group, so they're heavily armed

and they're are no fans of the FBI.

As far as descriptions, all we have are two males,

ages and race unknown, height, five-10 to six feet,

weight 170 to 200 pounds.

Look for a mini-14 or AR-15 rifle

that have been converted to full automatic.

Along with that, 12 gauge shotgun

with modified pistol grip stock.

And if we really get lucky, a late model Monte Carlo,

which has been variously described

as white, yellow, gold, or beige.

Well, funsters, that's it.

Showtime.

Let's go to work.

This is the FBI.

Put your weapons on the ground and step back.

Please, place your weapons on the ground and step back.

Just who the hell do you think you are?

Exactly what I said.

This is private property.

We want to ask you some questions.

Why don't you get in your car and get outta here?

We don't want any trouble,

we just want to ask you some questions.

Yeah, questions, you're always asking us questions.

Yeah, we are, because we need to find out.

Have you seen two man,

probably paramilitary, in a late...

- Hey. - What's going on here?

Freeze!

Don't even think about it.

Wait, it's a kid.

It's just a kid.

Hey, buddy.

How you doing?

What do you got there?

It's just a pellet gun, I didn't fire real bullets.

Okay.

Open up.

Do it now!

Come on, hurry up!

I can't.

- Come on! - The key won't fit!

What are you doing, man!

I ain't gonna leave the big money behind.

Come on, let's go!

Please don't hurt me.

You came real close, bitch.

Three, maybe four grand.

That's it.

Not too bad for a morning's work.

Not good enough.

We go again.

On the floor!

Up against the wall, you too.

Against the wall, turn around.

Hands on the wall.

Get up!

Where you going?

Get down!

Hands on the wall.

Outta those offices.

Hands against the glass!

All right, sonny, let me see your money.

Not the crap in there!

I want the stuff in there!

Our real vault is downstairs.

We can't open it, it's on a time lock.

Don't you mess with me.

Get on in there.

Get in there!

What are you looking at?!

Don't!

All of them, sport.

Come on, come on!

Get down, down!

Let's get outta here.

Now we can go to Disney World.

You know, there is something that is

just not right about this.

But it's legal.

They actually have permits for these things.

Gordy.

A call just came in.

Two banks were just taken down in Miami.

Our two soldiers of fortune?

They robbed both of them, back to back.

They didn't bother to change the license plates.

They get away?

In a gold Monte Carlo.

What are you gonna be in the pageant?

- Indian princess. - Oh, good.

What do you do?

I'm gonna share the food with pilgrims.

Hi, Daddy.

Bill, this is Detective Hamill.

Is that so?

Come on, Melissa, Scott, let's go play in your room.

Come on.

Let's go, Scott.

Birchfield, Ohio PD.

So I understand you're in the landscaping business,

Mr. Maddox.

That's right.

Looks like you're doing pretty well.

It's a living.

Detective Hamill's been asking questions about Patty.

It's a couple of years since anyone's asking about her.

Get me some pop, Carol Anne.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- You wanna sit? - Yes, thanks.

Well, we haven't been able to finish

the homicide investigation completely just yet,

so just a couple of small details need to be cleaned up.

Maybe I can clean 'em up for you.

Yeah.

Maybe your wife shouldn't hear any of this.

In the eyes of the Lord,

husband and wife are to share everything.

Well, let's see.

Can I put it down, thank you.

We're a little confused, Mr. Maddox,

as to why you took out such a large

insurance policy on Patty.

I wanted security for my daughter.

Of course I understand that,

but usually a fella might take one out himself,

not on his wife.

Guess I seen things a little different.

Okay.

Uh, then there's that letter.

Uh, a witness says that you wrote a letter to a friend

describing how and when Patty could be murdered

during a fake robbery at the hospital.

Everybody asked me about that

and I told him there wasn't ever any letter.

I know, but the witness claims to have seen it,

says that you destroyed it.

As the Lord is my witness,

that letter never existed at all.

I believe you, Mr. Maddox,

but you see the way things are.

Now, a lie detector test was offered to you

at the time of the murder, and I'll tell you what.

It's being offered to you again.

What do you say?

I'd really rather not.

Don't you wanna put all this behind you

once and for all, huh?

Far as I'm concerned, it already is.

I got one more detail here I'd like to run by if I could.

Immediately after your wife's death,

you had an affair with a woman who was very close to her.

Apparently her best friend.

- Janice Ren. - Janice Ren.

Mrs. Ren says that you tried to seduce her.

Look, we went to bed once or twice.

But I made my peace with the Lord right after.

She says you raped her.

She said, you snuck into her house,

you waited for her in the dark and that you were naked.

She wanted it that way.

She's ashamed now, that's all.

She was married at the time.

Her old man wasn't paying much attention to her.

She just naturally turned to me.

In my grief, I needed love real bad.

She saw my weakness.

I'll admit I fought with the...

with the devil over that one.

She also says that you told her, "I did it."

Meaning you killed Patty.

Or you had somebody do it for you.

I stand before God with a clear conscience.

And that's good enough for me.

Where are you running off to?

Cat got your tongue?

I'm tired, Bill, I'm going to bed.

You ain't tired.

There's something else.

I didn't know you were a suspect in Patty's murder.

Did you kill her?

I meant what I said.

Go away.

Head Mundo.

You are gonna give blood, aren't ya?

You know, I can't stand the sight of blood.

Listen, I checked those tags on that gold Monte Carlo.

They belong to a Spanish speaker named Fiorina.

He claims his son when target practicing

some couple of months ago near the Tamiami Trail.

Both the kid and the car disappeared the same day.

Mr. Mireles?

Stay with me now. Stay with me.

All right.

You take it out.

All right, come at me.

That's it.

That's popped off, let me show you, son.

All right. You got the right idea.

I just want you to get the baseline quicker, okay?

You get baseline, throw a head fake

draw the guy out of his feet.

Move around him, up for the shot,

you will draw the foul.

- Okay. - All right?

Try it again.

Come on.

That's it, that's it.

Throw the fake.

Beautiful!

Michael.

- Huh? - Telephone's for you.

- Who is it? - It's Bill.

All right.

Try that one more time. I'll be right back.

Guys look like you're having fun.

Yeah, I still got some pretty good moves, huh?

- Kid's doing great. - Good.

Yeah, Willie, speak to me.

Well, I'm free, white, 21 again.

Did you get rid of her?

Like a bad cold.

She packed up and left this morning.

So what do you say we take the girl

to go have a little fun, celebrate?

I don't know about you, Willie,

but I thought we had some business to take care.

I'm running outta time, Willie.

I haven't got a clue what I'm gonna get

Sandra for Christmas.

Oh, I know what you mean.

The worst part is fighting those crowds in the mall.

Maybe I'll get her a nightie.

Woo-woo.

♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♪

♪ Jingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh what fun it is to ride In one horse open sleigh ♪

Hey, what was that?

What are you looking at?!

Man, you see the look on that dude's face?

He couldn't believe you'd just walk up

and shoot him like that.

Merry Christmas, Willie.

What's the matter?

Saw that car before we switched to the truck.

Make a turn here.

Let's do it.

Cops.

Hey!

Hey, stop!

Hey!

All right, gentlemen.

Ben, what do we have?

Two white males, early thirties,

one slightly balding with mustache,

medium complexion.

The other with dirty blond hair and a goatee.

The witness followed him in his car for several blocks,

but he never got a clear look at their faces.

He's lucky he didn't get shot.

He saw them dump the Monte Carlo

and drive away in a pickup.

We recovered the car, it is Fiorina's, but it's clean.

There are no prints.

What about the pickup?

The witness couldn't give us anything

except that it's white.

He lost it in a residential area

running along South Dixie at 132nd Avenue.

Says it just disappeared.

It just disappeared less than a mile from my house.

What bothers me most

is the way they shot that guard.

There was no reason for it.

Was like an execution.

We'll be hearing from these guys again.

And when we do, we better be ready for 'em.

Oh Lord, we thank thee for these thy gifts,

for which we are about to receive.

A beautiful harvest is welcome and appreciated

in this household,

and we are grateful and hope,

Jesus, that you will continue to watch over this house

and keep us all happy.

Amen.

I can't believe you.

Surprise!

Which one's mine?

Ready?

This one.

It's a basketball.

No.

Open it. Open it.

Come on, Daddy, one more!

No more, Marco.

We're 10-seven.

What's that mean?

Whoa.

It means we're out of service.

Come on, Liz has got some hot dogs for us.

Does it hurt when you get shot, Daddy?

I don't know. I've never been shot.

But I bet it hurts a lot.

Do you shoot people?

I've never had to, no.

I thought policeman shoot people.

Only if they have to.

I guess I've been lucky.

But you have a gun.

Yeah, I got a gun.

Can I see it?

If you want.

When you arrest a bad guy, what do you do?

Well, I say, "I'm from the FBI and you're under arrest."

But what if he tries to hurt you?

What are you asking me all these questions for, Marco?

Because all my friends at school know you're a policeman,

and they wanna know if you shoot people.

Well, I do what I have to do.

We can't let the bad guy just go around

hurting people, can we?

But can't you just talk to them?

I wish I could.

Go on now, go get dressed.

Thanks, honey.

I don't want Marco growing up thinking

I go around just shooting people.

He's not gonna do that, Ed.

He just doesn't understand why there have to be bad guys.

Well, that makes two of us.

Ben, aren't you going home?

I guess I didn't realize how late it was getting.

Elaine McNeil called, she said Gordy's out

driving around the neighborhood

looking for that white pickup.

I'm not surprised.

Oh, Joan.

By the way, merry Christmas.

You too.

Man.

Give me another clip, will you?

Okay, watch this.

See there, Willie?

Practice makes perfect.

Huh?

Boy, I love this baby.

I'd go up against anybody with this mini-14.

How much ammo did you buy?

5000 rounds.

Hey.

Richard!

- What? - Richard, come here.

Come here. Come here.

This is where the body was found.

According to his father, Fiorina was out here

in early October,

target shooting around one of these rock pits.

So what do we do, Ben?

We'd need an army to cover all this.

There are hundreds of places along the Tamiami Trail

he could have been.

Whoever killed him must've picked him

right out of the blue.

He just happened to be at the wrong place

at the wrong time.

Hey girls, Willie's got the burgers on.

- How do you want 'em? - Rare.

- Over easy. - Over easy, way I like it.

Will you get rid of that stupid hat?

Makes you look like a wimp.

- Give me the damn hat. - A wimp.

Give it. Come on.

Give me the damn hat, give me the hat.

Give me the damn...

Give me the damn hat!

You want the hat? You got it.

Hey, come on, lighten up. Have a beer.

Don't you think they get scary sometimes?

Always talking about knocking over

drug dealers with the CIA.

We're not supposed to discuss all that.

It's supposed to be a secret.

Oh, come on.

Bill doesn't make a big deal about keeping it a secret.

He's always flashing all that money around they get to keep.

He bought me this ring last week.

- Look at that. - For cash.

He must love you a lot to buy you a ring that big.

Oh, he loves me, I know that.

And he wants to make love to me all the time.

But it's always wham bam, you know?

Never a kind word.

I just wish I could learn to understand him better.

You've hardly had time.

You both fell love so quick.

Even Mike was surprised.

It was a world win, I guess

Even when we first started dating,

it was like he needed his approval or something.

Sandra, he can't make up his mind

about anything without Mike.

Well, they've always been tight,

ever since the military.

It's more than that.

Mike frightens me sometimes.

Don't let him.

Mike just naturally does that to women.

You get used to it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I'm just a little confused, that's all.

Maybe you don't know how lucky you are.

I got my man and I intend to hang onto him.

It is no fun being alone.

Willie.

I wanna go for Miami Federal again.

Hit the armored car.

They'll never expect us back so soon.

Hell, I don't know.

I just soon go inside and nail a teller.

Those bozos in the armored car can shoot back.

So what?

Woo!

Who wants it nice and easy over here?

Bang bang.

I'm gonna be late, Daddy.

Relax, you still have a few minutes

before the movie starts.

But my friends are already there.

Daddy, please!

Suzanne, I'm looking for something.

I'll get you there on time.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey guys!

Suzanne.

Come on!

Not tonight.

You can't go to the movies tonight.

- But you promised. - Suzanne, I'm sorry.

Thanks a lot.

Oh.

I can't sleep.

What is it, Gordy?

Hmm?

20 years, it's the first time you brought it home like this.

I thought this was Ben Grogan's case.

It is.

Just something about these guys.

They've got the hook in all of us.

Any leads?

White pickup truck, no tags, no description.

Just two maniacs who strike at random and disappear.

And you believe they actually live in our neighborhood.

I'm absolutely convinced of it.

Is that why you put your hunting gun

in the trunk of my car?

- You saw that, huh? - Uh-huh.

So did Reverend Stowe.

He was helping me load the dishes after the bake sale.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

I guess I should have told you about it.

You think this is the answer?

I don't know.

I don't know what we're supposed to do.

I just know we're taking too long to do it.

Hey.

Hey partner.

Put that gun down.

You a cop?

No.

Step back in that water, sir.

Let me see your wallet.

Sure, man.

You can have it.

Take my money, and the car, okay?

Okay.

This guy's incredible.

After they shot him,

he crawls three and a half miles

through the swamp

and flags down a car on the highway.

Thank you.

Mr. Collazo.

I'm Jerry Dove, this is Special Agent Grogan.

We're from the FBI.

If you're feeling up to it, we'd like to ask you

just a couple questions.

Guys find my car yet?

No, sir, but we're just as anxious as you are

to get our hands on it.

I don't understand.

Why did they have to shoot me just to steal my car?

Nothing these guys do make much sense, sir,

but you can help us.

So far, you're the only one who's actually

seen them and lived.

It's very important for you to tell us

whatever you can remember about them.

That's no problem.

I remember everything about them.

One thing I didn't get to see

was the license plate on the white pickup.

But the fellow who shot me,

if I could draw,

I would show you exactly what he looked like.

Metro-Dade provided us with this sketch,

so I wanna make sure these go out

to all the businesses on South Dixie,

especially the banks, and I want the tags

to Collozo's black Monte Carlo

played over the radio like a tune on the top 40.

I guarantee you that car'll show up at the next robbery.

Finding that white pickup is gonna be

like trying to nail jello to a wall.

We can't run the tags of every Ford pickup in Florida,

but we can run the ones on South Dixie.

They got us, Gordy.

- Black Monte Carlo? - Yeah.

This is gonna go on forever.

Well, this is just pitiful.

How much?

Not enough for all the grief they put us through.

Maybe we shouldn't have hit the same bank twice in a row.

You know what I think?

I think we go back to that bank

and hit it again.

Typical.

We come all they way out here to see Hayley's Comet,

and what do the guys do?

Talk about work.

It's not always as bad.

It's easy for you to say, you're one of them.

Whatever happened to that kid you tried

to run over with your bicycle?

Little hoodlum.

I paid him a visit at his house.

Turns out his father is a deputy sheriff with Metro-Dade.

Nice kid, but the old man kept asking

when we're gonna catch those two Rambos working South Dixie.

You know, we might be able to do something

about that day after tomorrow.

What's so special about the day after tomorrow?

Friday.

I've listed all the bank robberies in Miami

since October and out 63, I got our boys on five.

They almost always strike in the morning on a Friday.

You thinking of a stakeout?

Why not?

I'm tired of letting them make all the moves.

Gordy, we'd be spread out along

almost 100 blocks of South Dixie.

Why this Friday?

Just a hunch.

Okay, guys, picture time.

I wouldn't disappoint you.

Come on, come on, everybody get over between.

Come on. Yeah.

You want a picture of me next to this jacket?

I've got a reputation to uphold.

Go ahead and moan.

You guys are all gonna thank me for this someday.

Okay, if we're gonna do it, let's do it right.

All right, absolutely, serious.

Serious.

Is this serious?

- No messing around. - Serious.

I'd just like to say a few words of thanks.

Serious, now, serious.

All right, everybody, hold it.

Come on, Jerry.

Smile.

Hello.

Hey.

Anything happens to me,

I wanna make sure my daughter's taken care of.

I've still got a few bucks salted away.

All of it goes to Melissa.

Why are you bringing this up now?

Something bad's gonna happen.

What are you so scared about?

I ain't scared of nothing.

I'm being set up.

I know too much and they want me out of the way.

Who's doing this to you?

Who do you think?

The FBI.

The CIA,

they'll never admit I was doing their dirty work for 'em.

There must be somebody who can help, Willie.

Somebody you can call.

Why'd you call me Willie?

Well, isn't that what Mike calls you?

Nobody's allowed to call me that except him.

Well, maybe you shouldn't be around him so much.

You don't have to let him be the boss all the time.

Mike doesn't tell me what to do.

We work those missions for the government.

I'm in charge.

He listens to me.

Now you butt out!

Can I help you?

That hurts!

I'm under a lot of pressure.

Things you can't understand.

There's only one thing you gotta worry about.

That's keeping me happy.

Aren't I doing that?

Just don't get pregnant.

I don't know what to do, Ben.

I mean, for the first time in my life,

I feel like I really wanna settle down with someone,

and Jennifer says she's not ready yet.

I'm the last one to ask for advice.

For 23 years, the bureau's been my family.

She's afraid of being married to the FBI.

You okay, Ben?

Yeah.

But I'm starting to understand the way those guys think.

And I'm scared.

They are gonna hit again.

Maybe not this Friday or the next,

but Gordy's right.

They're coming back.

And you know why?

It's not just for the money anymore.

They wanna see what we're made of.

Bill?

I'm just going to work.

Don't forget about Melissa's babysitter.

She didn't get paid last week.

Don't worry about it!

I'll be bringing home some money today.

Bye.

On the international scene,

President Reagan is calling Libyan leader

Mu'ammar Gaddafi a mad dog.

In light of overwhelming evidence-

You know, it's about time somebody nailed that Qadhdafi.

If you ask me, we ought to wipe 'em out.

You were in Vietnam, weren't you, Mike?

Military plans against Libya.

Almost.

It is 22 minutes past the hour...

I was all trained and ready to go

and then some wimp in Washington pulled the plug.

You know, Mike, I'm doing a term paper on Vietnam.

Maybe you could help.

The way things are going in the Middle East,

I wouldn't worry about a term paper.

Why don't you just join the Army and kick butt?

Yeah.

Oh no, Dad, I think I just saw

an armored car go around the corner.

Hey, you better take me right home.

Right, and then you'd have to miss that geometry test

that's scheduled for this morning.

Well, yeah, but you can never be too careful these days.

Get outta here.

Hey, wish me luck.

- Wish me luck. - Okay.

Oh, and Dad.

Just don't get shot, okay?

- You got a deal. - Okay.

Hey, Jakester.

You gonna go on surveillance with us this morning?

No, I'm wading through all this.

Grand jury wants me Monday morning.

Maybe you could just ride out there with me

and come right back.

Need your advice, Jake.

I wanna find out what I can do legally

to spend more time with my son.

Eddie, I really gotta hang in here with this paperwork.

Maybe this afternoon when you get back?

Ron.

This all we got?

Well, Gordy's meeting is at the shopping center at 8:15.

You are going with us, aren't you?

I'm the case agent, aren't I?

Dressing down, huh?

I'd worry if I were you, Stevio.

You look too much like a man without a work permit.

Hola, Paloma.

Rough night, huh?

Paloma?

Dove, in Spanish.

I thought after meeting Jennifer the other night

that you two were a couple of love birds.

It's official, Jerry.

You finally got your nickname.

Well, we better hit it.

We've got 25 miles of traffic and Gordy's waiting.

Hey, Refrigerator.

Child custody is not my strong suit,

but I'll ride with you.

How much do you charge an hour?

How much money you got?

Thanks, Jakester.

Number 72, your order's ready.

72.

Beautiful weather, huh?

- 73. - Yeah.

Come and get it.

That's why we moved down here, isn't it?

Egg sandwich.

A large soda.

Why are you so jumpy lately?

Cut me some slack, Mike.

You scared?

No.

I can count on you, can't I?

You're damn straight.

Good.

Everyone on this surveillance

has been assigned grids along South Dixie highway

from 130th to 186th street.

As you know, the suspects drive a late model

white Ford F-150 pickup.

Also be on the lookout for a 1979 black Monte Carlo,

Florida tag NTJ-891.

Do not attempt to apprehend them if a robbery's in progress.

They are heavily armed and they like to shoot.

Do not engage them in a chase along South Dixie highway.

We don't want any civilians hurt.

Any questions?

Let's do it.

Gordy,

manager at the Barnett Bank doesn't believe I'm FBI.

I showed her the badge,

but she still wants someone to verify.

Well, go back in there and tell her what we're up to.

Frosty, this is Big Ed.

Explain to her why you're dressing down, man.

I explained, but she thinks I'm looking too sleazy.

Tell her you're a friend of mine

and everything will be okay.

A friend of yours, uh-uh, I'd be arrested.

Warner out.

He's coming back around.

Look at that.

Even left the plates on.

Break, break, all units.

We are behind a black Monte Carlo,

Florida license NTJ-891,

heading south on South Dixie.

Make that north on South Dixie.

Repeat, heading north

on South Dixie.

Two white males fitting subject description.

We are approaching 124th Street.

There they are.

Coming by your point.

Ain't no cops at that bank.

Don't be too sure.

More than one back there.

Make a little turn here.

Well, we got 'em all coming.

Still with us.

We're burned.

They know we're onto 'em, they know we're cops.

Ben, we're right behind you, babe.

Ben, this is Gordy.

I'm going to parallel one block to your right.

I copy.

Subject's making a right-hand turn on 82nd Avenue.

Gordy, you better come to us.

I copy, I'm on my way.

Ben, what's going on?

Why are they moving so slow?

I don't know.

Subject on the passenger side

is loading a long barrel weapon.

How far is our backup?

Five to seven minutes.

One more block and they're back into the heavy traffic.

These guys are shooters.

We gotta keep 'em away from civilians.

Then let's do it.

Now.

We'll jump ahead and keep 'em on the South Dixie highway.

All units, felony car stop.

Let's take 'em.

Move!

I'm hit, I'm hit!

- Get me outta here! - Shut up!

Oh, man.

I'm outta here.

Where you going?

Hey, wait a minute. Where you going?

Mike!

Mike, you okay?

Mike!

I don't know who they are.

They all look like dope dealers.

Hang in there, Edmundo.

Don't panic, baby, come on, don't panic.

Ah!

Mike!

Grody?

I can't feel anything.

I think I'm paralyzed.

Hang on, buddy, hang on.

Hit, I'm hit!

Ben, he hit my gun.

Wait, it stopped.

It's over.

Lady, you better hurry and get those cops in here.

And plenty of ambulances.

Ben, where are they?

Ben?

Ben!

You coming or what?

Oh man, I'm hurting.

You'll be dead if you stay here.

Where in the hell did that come from?

Lord!

Oh Lord, get me outta here.

Get me...

Damn, I'm outta ammo.

Stop, more guys got shot. They're killing each other.

Who are they?

I don't know.

It's over, you bastard.

That's enough, Ed.

It's over.

It's over!

We're FBI!

Get help!

We need help!

Hurry!

We need help!

We have had a shooting incident

at Southwest 82nd Avenue and Southwest 12th Street

in homestead.

Please advise SA to immediately report to this area.

Agents are down.

Medical units are on the scene,

and police units are also on the scene.

So far all of the suspects are DOA.

I'm afraid we've lost two agents also.

- I'm sorry... - I'm an agent.

Hey, babes.

Well, they started shooting each other right over there.

Car pulled up.

Hey Jakester, you okay?

I'm all right.

What about the Grinch?

He didn't make it.

Gordy might not either.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with these.

They're for agent Grogan.

Just put 'em on his desk.

Someone will take care of them later.

A thorough investigation

into the backgrounds of Michael Platt

and William Maddox

reveal that neither had ever been arrested

for any violent crime.

No family member or neighbor had ever reported

any incident of violent behavior.

Many questions, including those surrounding

the Ohio murder of Patty Maddox,

remain unanswered.

This event has been studied extensively.

It now serves as a training model for the FBI

and other law enforcement agencies throughout the country,

so that they might better prepare themselves

for street confrontations with violent criminals.

However, no amount of preparation or training

can eliminate the risks of what might happen

should similar events occur.

Agents Orrantia, Manauzii, and Risner

are still with the FBI.

John Hanlon recovered from his wounds,

and after a full and successful career,

retired from the FBI.

He is now in private law practice.

Ed Mireles was named Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.

He and his wife were assigned as supervisory special agents

of the FBI academy in Quantico, Virginia.

Gordon McNeill underwent an extensive surgery

and rehabilitation for bullet wounds to his spine.

He intends to return to his duties

in the Miami office of the FBI.

Benjamin Grogan and Jerry Dove

died of their wounds.

They were the 36th and 37th FBI agents

killed in the line of duty.
