Hey, darling. Two Bacardi mojitos and a gin and tonic.
Lemon or lime?
Lime.
Where you from?
Lisboa. That's in Portugal.
But you got your tan in Miami?
What's your name?
- Rita. - Rita. Sonny.
See you later, Rita.
Hey, Michael.
- Neptune. - Here are your dates.
Hey, baby.
Here you go.
- Let me hit you now. - No, no, no. Please, put it away.
- Be cool. - Come on.
Hit me later.
What's with number three?
She's sick, man.
SWITEK: That's cool. I'll go with two.
Let's go, sweetheart.
NEPTUNE: Do you know how much I'm losing tonight?
HAITIAN GIRL: No.
(NEPTUNE SPEAKING CREOLE)
BOUNCER: Where you going?
SONNY: Easy. Easy.
Neptune should ease up on the merchandise.
Flip the girls upstairs and we got him.
His day will come.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
- ALONZO: Sonny? - Yeah. Who's this?
Sonny?
Alonzo?
Alonzo, I can't talk. We're in the middle of a deal right now.
Take care of Leonetta for me.
Ask Ricardo to do that.
I gave up nothing on you.
They're on their own. It's all their deal, anyway. Fuck them.
Alonzo, what are you talking about?
I'm falling by the house,
and then I'm gone.
So whatever you can do for her, okay, Sonny?
Alonzo.
Goodbye.
- What is it? - Alonzo Stevens.
Something's wrong.
He told you to look after Leonetta for him.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
FBI AGENT: FBI Miami.
This is Detective Crockett, Miami-Dade PD. Patch me through to your SAC.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Leonetta, it's Rico.
Give me a call back as soon as you get a chance.
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
This is ASAC John Fujima.
Detective Crockett.
What's your Miami-Dade badge number and date of birth?
447-Charlie-1292.
- 447-Charlie-1292. - SONNY: 07-02-70.
OFFICER ON PHONE: Miami-Dade PD Tech.
Bobby G., it's Rico.
Hey, that transponder we had on Alonzo Stevens' Bentley, it still running?
When's the last time we used it?
I don't know. We ain't worked him in six months.
Okay. So?
SONNY: One of your deals may be going bad.
Confidential informant we cut loose to you guys.
CI's name is Alonzo Stevens. He called us.
We haven't spoken to him in six months.
How do I discuss this over an open phone line?
How the hell do I know?
We got the phone call from Alonzo on an open line.
That is the hand we have been dealt at 11:47 on Saturday night.
Now, I do not know what case you have him on, but whatever it is,
it is going bad, and it sounds like it is going bad right now.
It's a preliminary meet and greet.
RICO: Meet and greet?
You flash me yours, I'll flash you mine?
FUJIMA: Who are you?
- Ricardo Tubbs. - My partner.
Yeah, deal goes down another time, another place.
- So, what? No HRT weapons team out there? - That's right.
Colombians? Russians?
White supremacists.
And that tape is not gonna look good in court.
Aryan Brotherhood? Mongols? Nazi Low Riders? What?
We think Aryan Brotherhood, but we don't know for sure.
- What's up? - Get Michael out of there.
- What about Neptune? - It's Neptune's lucky night.
What else did Stevens tell you?
He said that it went bad, that he didn't give us up. Told us goodbye.
ZITO: Rico, we got the Bentley.
Hey, he just got on the 95 southbound from the 195 causeway.
We got meth, ice, glass, Es, Ks, ex,
Mitsus, Ames, Colombian H.
Ice.
Party down with the coke.
You're looking at 92%% pure.
Not like that jumped-on powder they sell up in Nuyorico.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Never seen green?
You got the green. We got the goods.
We party.
Larry'll call you in the a.m. About quantity and money, time and place.
Hey, lvan!
My brother.
How long have you been working with the FBI?
Alonzo, pull over!
Pull over!
Stay back!
What'd you do?
I fronted their undercover team to these guys like usual, you know?
They're Feds, Russian speakers.
I was the middleman.
- What, 15%%? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, to set up the meet.
They grabbed Leonetta.
They took Leonetta.
I gave them up, man.
Gave up the Feds. Everything.
Everything I knew. Rico, I got to go home.
Got people there now.
- How did they get onto you, Alonzo? - How the hell do I know?
They knew one Russian was FBI from the get-go, so...
They knew I knew.
- Rico, I gotta go. - RICO: Alonzo. Alonzo.
(RICO DIALING PHONE)
- Rico, I got to go. I got to go. - Alonzo. Alonzo!
- I gotta fucking go! - Hello?
(TURNING OFF CELL PHONE)
RICO: You don't...
You don't...
You don't need to go home.
They said they wouldn't hurt her, man.
They lied.
- Alonzo! - No!
Prints on the fridge.
Hold on.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Yeah.
CASTILLO: Where are you? What's your QTH?
Just a couple blocks away. We can see the lights.
Turn around.
Turn around? Look, we know these people.
Meet me in 15 minutes, Standard Park.
- What the hell just happened? - RICO: What was that?
Who's this?
He needs to talk to you.
I'm Fujima. We talked on the phone.
- So, this was your operation? - Yes, at command level.
We trusted our informant, Alonzo, to you, and you got his whole family killed?
What, did you jump some amateurs into a game they ain't ready for?
- What the fuck happened, man? - Three men got killed!
- SONNY: And so did our... - Cool down.
They discovered my guys were undercover, and we don't know how.
This was an interagency task force, DEA, ATF, U.S. Customs.
The leak could have come from any one unit.
I gotta assume my operational security is compromised.
Compromised? Your whole op sec is blown. You're stone cold dead in the water.
Meanwhile, it does not track.
White supremacist gang?
White prison gangs is tweakers and meth labs and trailer parks.
Bouncing the old lady around until they get busted back.
And how did they get all high tech with sophisticated counterintel?
And what we here talking to you for, anyway?
Miami-Dade wasn't part of the task force.
Oh.
They don't know you.
So, you want to recruit us?
Identify them. Who are they?
- How did they cut into us? - How do we cut into them?
How do we get all close and personal with them?
Make a buy. That worked well.
Sell to them? We supply them?
No, they got a steady stream of supply.
Colombian named Jose Yero, midlevel trafficker.
Okay. So what about Yero? Can we get to them through Yero?
- FUJIMA: Possible. - What does he need?
- Money laundering? Transpo? - FUJIMA: Transpo.
He outsources his transportation.
Okay.
Do we run an undercover on Jose Yero?
So we transport a load for Yero into this group?
So can we run a load for Yero into this group? It's a question.
He transships out of Haiti.
Flies his product in from Colombia, hires someone to run it from Haiti into here.
This is a FLIR image of someone's go-fast boats running in a Yero load.
AWAC shot it.
That's all we got.
All right. If they do this,
I'd like them deputized as federal under OCDETF for the purposes of this case.
Fine by me.
Because your op sec is blown,
your agency can't know anything about how they do whatever it is they do.
That's why I came alone. Thank you.
Sorry about your men.
CASTILLO: What'd you spot?
Go-fast boats running that close? On radar they look like one, not two.
Total darkness?
Man, those are skill sets.
Plus, who runs four 250 Mercs off a deep-V hull?
Sal Maguda.
- He that good? - Oh, yeah.
SONNY: Bleaching it down.
Must have just unloaded.
- Who are we? - How's your Creole?
(RICO SHOUTING IN CREOLE)
Do you know whose load this is?
What are you doing? What are you doing?
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Hey, Nicholas, my ace. What's up?
Everything's good. You?
We good. We all good.
As a matter of fact, we're looking to charge up your cash flow. Hold on.
- Nicholas, how you doing? - Sonny. What's up?
Somebody's something's got to go somewhere, some when.
Not too distant in the future.
Except he had transpo problems.
RICO: Call Colombia.
- Man, that's Jose Yero. - RICO: Really?
NICHOLAS: He is AUC, you know. Colombian right-wing paramilitaries.
You know who they are? They are vertically integrated. They are...
You mean, they walk around with constant erections?
No. They farm, process, produce, export...
I know what it means.
No, see, it gives them attitude.
A player negotiates too hard and you never hear from him again,
'cause these guys kill everything!
I gotta know what's the skinny.
- It's none of your fucking business. - It can come back on me, baby.
It can't come back on you, baby.
- Am I assured of that? - Hey, sunshine.
When has Rico or Sonny ever lied to you, huh?
I mean, when has anything Rico told you not happened exactly like he said?
RICO: You saying I lie to you? NICHOLAS: No, I'm not saying that...
TRUDY: Yes, you are.
NICHOLAS: It's just there's variables, you know?
Randomness, see? That's why.
- "That's why," what? - Well, why, like, if you can't deliver,
this group goes from zero to high-order violence like that.
You made a 15%% commission off three money-laundering prosecutions
I put you into,
you know, which is why you live in your $4 million condo.
And you question Rico and Sonny?
Fuck that. I will cap your skanky ass and throw it off that goddamn balcony.
Yeah, then we can kick back and watch Marlins highlights on this 65" plasma.
After we clean this place up. Don't you ever put anything away?
Plus he's gonna commission Jose Yero for putting you to Jose Yero.
Anybody looking at his ill-gotten gains? IRS looking into his shit?
SONNY: Any reason this does not go down?
That's the sound of air rapidly filling the vacuum created by your departed body.
On account of how fast I remanded your ass back into custody.
Why is this happening to me?
Because you lead a life of crime.
Can't do time, don't mess with crime.
SONNY: He's cool. He'll make the call.
Hey, you.
Wake up.
What happened to you? Aren't you excited to see me?
I can't talk about it.
- Mmm-hmm. - This is all right.
I'm just joking.
Go to sleep. Go to sleep right here. That's it.
- Any word? - RICO: Nothing.
"Hey, Trudy." Hey, Sonny.
Hey, Trudy. How you doing, darling?
Who are we here?
It's the same fabricated fundamentals as before.
Rico.
3-to-5 on assault, Folsom B-wing, Pelican Bay.
Sonny, Marine Corps, Chicago, and 10 plus weapons.
Five out of eight, and jumped parole. Pelican Bay, where you guys hooked up.
And then it goes cold,
'cause presumably you're both too smart and too fast to get jacked again.
What about this place?
Lt'll show up leased under these aliases.
How'd they test?
- And who tested them? - Helene in NYPD.
And she worked through your false identities,
and then she found your deeper, hidden, more criminal selves.
- SONNY: Yeah. - He's in.
You're on. The meet's in Haiti.
He'll negotiate the price in person.
Call me after you've landed in Port-au-Prince,
'cause only when you're on the ground will he tell me where you are to go.
Be careful. Be cool.
Approaching. Turning to heading 340 down to 6,000 feet.
Clear to the ILS runway 1-0 for the approach to Port-au-Prince.
Why do I get the feeling everybody knows we're here 15 blocks out?
'Cause everybody knows we're here 15 blocks out.
Sit.
Jose.
Sonny Burnett. That's my partner, Ricardo.
Thank you for coming down.
So, let's lay it out.
Nicholas say you run a tight group.
That's nice, 'cause we got product that's got to move.
- Real tight. We move as fast as FedEx. - Move to where?
To New York, through South Florida.
- SONNY: Move when? - Right now.
That's kind of all of an instant.
RICO: That means only one thing, real fast.
So, the price, is it right?
Price is right.
But how I know if you any good at this shit?
What's that?
Yeah, your business. How much volume you do?
Whose product you move? Who you work with?
Other than Nicholas, who the fuck knows you?
Well, my mommy and daddy know me.
And we don't talk about who we work with.
And we didn't come down here to audition for business.
Business auditions for us.
And knows all about us, before they call Nicholas.
That way we don't waste avgas or our motherfucking time.
SONNY: You want us to be telling you about our shit?
You can't find out on your own?
Why do I not buy that?
You with DEA? The Feeb? What's up?
They targeting our transpo line? You with the Man?
You wearing a wire?
RICO: I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.
People gonna come in here, and you know what they gonna say?
They're gonna look around and they're gonna go...
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
"That's some crazy motherfucking wallpaper. What is that?
"Jackson Pollock?"
"No, viejo. That was Jose Yero, who got splattered all over his own wall."
So, we can close each other's eyes right now, real fast.
But then ain't nobody gonna make no money.
ISABELLA: Jose.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
So let's talk equipment.
Adam A500s, carbon composite, real stealthy.
1,400 nautical-mile range, low and slow.
We like Caravelles and 727 s to move the product from source countries
to transshipment places like here.
Big loads, we like containers.
Smaller loads into South Florida, we do go-fast boats.
So, what's the weight?
- First, let's talk logistics. - Okay.
You pick up a load, you fly it in the hole, we tell you the drop point,
and our people then move it on up the road.
Now, not so fast. People at the drop point are our people, not yours.
You know, so there's no tweakers, dopers, first-timers, people we don't know.
They didn't do time with us, they ain't doing crime with us.
Once we pick up the load, the next time you hear from us
it'll be a date, time, and a place.
Like, "There's a 18-wheeler in a parking lot in north Miami with the keys in the ignition."
You pick it up, you drive away. Smooth, that's how we do it.
So, when you looking to move it?
Never.
'Cause how you drop loads, I don't like, so maybe this don't work.
Then it don't work.
Red light, green light, Jose.
They also call me Cochi Loco.
That means "crazy pig."
'Cause I run security and counterintel.
I get people to tell me what they don't ever want to say.
And I have eyes everywhere.
That part of what I do, you never want to find out about.
Other people negotiate money, and go and no go.
Yes, no, maybe so.
Not me.
So, what the hell are we talking to you for?
- I had to lay my eyes on you. - SONNY: Why is that?
To see if you go meet the Man.
And?
You seem okay.
But him,
I don't like how he looks.
Do you want to fuck my partner, or do you want to do business with us?
'Cause I don't give a shit how you think he looks.
Wait by the phone in the hotel.
You get a call, or maybe you don't.
And then you can piss off back to where you come from.
Yero said New York through South Florida.
Then this load does not go to the Miami group.
That may take load number two.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(SPEAKING CREOLE)
That was fast.
Four hours. They're dicking us around. Call it.
That's it.
Let's go.
ISABELLA: Put your guns on the table.
We didn't bring you here to kill you.
If we want you dead, you'd have been no longer drawing breath in Miami.
$3,000 a kilo on small loads.
SONNY: Thought we had to meet the Man.
You do.
- When is that? - Right now.
Full signal, no service. They're jamming the phones.
This is the type of stuff the CIA does. In Baghdad.
Yeah. What's it doing on a dope deal?
Out of the car.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
MAN: See the three trucks? Move there now.
SONNY: Where'd all the people go?
Ready, boss?
Excuse me, because I am very busy.
I have many things to do, so this will be brief. Yes?
I will try you out on one load to build trust.
1,000 ki's out of Colombia. Your end is $3 million.
In all matters, when you work for me,
you must do exactly what you say you will do.
In this business with me, I do not buy a service. I buy a result.
If you say you will do a thing,
you must do exactly that thing.
Then you will prosper beyond your dreams and live in Miami millionaire-style.
You will contact and work through Jose Yero
on logistics, communications, security.
To do with money and terms, you will work through my Isabella.
I look forward to our doing more work together.
Whether we do or do not, it is unlikely that we will meet again.
I extend my best wishes to your families.
Thank you for making this trip to see me.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Flight 000 is airborne.
ZITO: This is November 1206 Sierra. Roger that.
CONTROLLER: Good afternoon. Radar contact. Climb and maintain 7,000.
November 636 is coming your way from the northwest.
