Plot: 2005. Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) is serving in the US Army in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He is tasked with protecting military police detective Ira Stone (Desmin Borges) while he is in the city. They ride in a transport vehicle through the city streets and out to a remote US facility. Stone takes Crockett inside the facility, which is being used as storage for dead soldiers. Stone unzips a body bag and shows Crockett that the body has been packed with heroin in order to smuggle it out of Afghanistan and presumably back to the US.

Back in the present, Crockett is attending the trial of a small time heroin dealer. The judge asks Crockett for a recommendation on the sentencing. Crockett hesitates, then says that he honestly doesn't have one and leaves the courtroom. Outside of the court house, Crockett is approached by Ira Stone, who tells him that heroin from Afghanistan has made its way to the streets of Miami. Crockett asks how, and Stone says that someone known as "The Sergeant" was responsible for all the heroin moving out of Afghanistan. Crockett asks if there are any suspects, and Stone informs Crockett that he suspects that Crockett's former commanding officer, Sgt. Maynard, is responsible.

Crockett and his partner, Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs), head down to the VA hospital to ask around to see if they turn up any information. At first the former soldiers there aren't interested in talking to the police, but Crockett tells them that he served in Afghanistan. Finally, one of the soldiers warns Crockett that he shouldn't get asking about Afghani heroin around the building. Crockett and Tubbs head back to Crockett's boat where they find a folded up US flag. Crockett comments that it isn't a very subtle message. They head to OCB where Crockett tells Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) what Stone informed him of. Larry Zito (Troy Garity) and Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) tell the team that Maynard now owns a real estate company just outside Miami.

Crockett goes to see Stone and takes him along to meet with Maynard (Richard Burgi). They ask Maynard what he knows about heroin being smuggled out of Afghanistan. Maynard insists that it was the Afghanistan military that was smuggling the heroin out of the country, not the US. Stone starts to argue with Maynard about it. Crockett tells Stone to calm down, and Stone storms out of the office.

Tubbs and Switek meet up with a Dakota (Marsha Thomason), who they believe is pushing the Afghani heroin locally. When they arrive, Dakota tells them that she can't meet with them since there is someone ahead of them. Crockett is unable to contact Stone, so he and Tubbs go to see Stone's wife, Allison Stone (Cameron Richardson). She says she doesn't know where Ira is, but doesn't car as she is preparing to leave him. Crockett asks why, and Allison says that Ira keeps getting calls from some woman named Dakota, so he's clearly cheating on her and she won't tolerate it. Crockett and Tubbs go to see Dakota, who reveals that she informed Maynard that Stone came to see her. Maynard then had his men kidnap Stone. Crockett and Tubbs demand to know where Maynard took Stone. Dakota tells that he probably had Stone taken to his warehouse.

Stone is tied up in Maynard's warehouse. Stone tells Maynard that he left all of his evidence with his wife, and she knows to turn it over to the press if she doesn't hear from him. One of Stone's henchmen then carries in a body bag. Maynard then goes over and unzips the bag, revealing the dead body of Stone's wife Allison. Maynard then shoots Stone in each foot. Stone screams out in pain as Crockett, Tubbs, Zito and Switek storm into the warehouse, killing all of Maynard's guards. Crockett chases after Maynard, but Maynard escapes on a boat.

Crockett, Tubbs and Castillo visit Stone in the hospital. They promise that they'll have Maynard arrested if he ever sets foot in Miami again. Stone tells them that isn't enough and turns away from the officers.

Mike Epps .... Izzy Lamont

Plot: Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) arrives at the sailboat home of Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway), finding him past out drunk on the deck, sleeping next to his pet alligator Elvis. Tubbs wakes Crockett up and asks how he's doing since this isn't the first time he's woken him up after a night of drinking since Cassidy was killed. Crockett lights a cigarette and tells Tubbs he's fine. Together the two drive into OCB where Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) briefs them on a new case. Overnight, a deal involving a violent group of Jamaican drug dealers went wrong, resulting in the deaths of several other dealers. Castillo tells them to start investigating the case. Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) notices how bad Crockett is looking and tells him that if she needs anything to give her a call.

Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) and Larry Zito (Troy Garity) have taken over a pawn shop as part of a stolen property sting. Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps) walks into the shop and surprisingly doesn't recognize the officers. He tries to sell them several obviously stolen items. Eventually, Switek and Zito remind Lamont who they are and ask him if he's heard anything about the Jamaican dealers that have been causing trouble around town. He tries to leave the shop, but Gina Calabrese and Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) stop him.

Izzy Lamont takes Crockett and Tubbs to a nightclub. Lamont says he will need a few hundred dollars in order to get back to talk to the people with information on the Jamaicans. Crockett gives him $250 and tells him to hurry back. Izzy walks to the back of the club and slips out the back entrance, only to find Tubbs waiting for him. Crockett throws Lamont into the trunk of his car and drives him to the OCB lock-up.

The next morning, Lt. Castillo informs the team that Homicide has found the van reportedly used by the Jamaicans during their dealer rip-offs and have arrested the shooters. Crockett decides to let Lamont out free with the promise that he'll stay out of trouble. Lamont doesn't promise, but Crockett lets him go anyway. Trudy and Gina are looking through all the evidence on the case and announce that Homicide has made a mistake. They found the wrong vehicle, and the men they arrested are Haitian, not Jamaican.

Crockett goes to Lamont's place and finds a truck of Jamaicans parked outside. Crockett calls for back-up, then sneaks around to the back door of Lamont's place. He looks through the window and sees some men holding Lamont at gunpoint, demanding to know what he told the police about them. Lamont insists that he was simply arrested for trying to sell some stolen stuff, nothing to do with any dead drug dealers or his knowledge of the Jamaicans.

Tubbs, Switek and Zito arrive at the scene along with a SWAT unit. The SWAT unit surrounds the truck outside, forcing the Jamaicans inside to surrender. Crockett, Tubbs, Switek and Zito enter the house and gun down the Jamaicans inside. Lamont is hit in the crossfire, taking a bullet to his arm. He immediately threatens to sue the police department for pain and suffering if they arrest him for not giving them information on the Jamaicans like he promised. Crockett tells Tubbs to take Lamont out of there since he's sick of listening to him right now.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) is drinking at a marina bar when he sees a man start to get handsy with one of the waitresses. He hears her tell the man to stop, but he grabs her. Crockett drinks the rest of his beer before promptly smashing the bottle of the man's head, knocking him unconscious. The man's friends jump Crockett and drag him outside where they proceed to beat him up badly with a 2x4 piece of wood. Rain begins to fall down on Crockett's unconscious body as a tropical storm begins replacing the Miami sun.

Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) is laying in bed with Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke). He confides in her that he is worried about Crockett's mental state since Cassidy died. Trudy says that Tubbs should give Crockett a call. Tubbs tries contacting Crockett, but his phone keeps going to voicemail. Tubbs tells her that his money would be on Crockett being in a drunken stupor currently.

In the morning, Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) tells Tubbs and Larry Zito (Troy Garity) to head out to Crockett's boat to look for him since he hasn't checked in for more than a day. When they get to Crockett's boat, all they find is a hungry Elvis. Zito gives Elvis some food while Tubbs looks for clues to Crockett's location, noticing that Crockett's car isn't in the marina parking lot.

Castillo tells Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) to try to locate Crockett by finding his cell phone signal. She manages to track the phone down to a bar, so Castillo sends Gina and Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) out to the bar. When they arrive, they don't find any trace of Crockett. Gina shows the bartender a picture of Crockett, and he tells her that Crockett got into a fight with a group of men the night before, but he didn't see him after they all went outside to have it out. Gina and Stan look around outside the bar. Gina eventually finds Crockett's phone on the ground next to a dumpster along with his wallet. Stan notices some blood on the pavement outside of the bar and takes a sample of it.

The crime lab confirms that the blood sample is a match for Crockett. Worried, Castillo issues a force wide APB to locate Crockett. He tells the team to start checking the hospitals within close proximity of the bar. The searches of the hospitals turn out to be fruitless though and the mystery continues. Tubbs, exhausted, heads home to get a few hours of sleep.

When Tubbs arrives at his building, he finds Crockett passed out by his front door. Tubbs drags Crockett inside. Crockett is badly beaten and doesn't remember how he got there. The last thing he remembers is hitting a man with a beer bottle who was being rough with the waitress. Tubbs calls Castillo and tells him that he's located Crockett and that other than being pretty banged up is okay. Castillo is relieved. Tubbs takes Crockett to the hospital where it is revealed that Crockett has a couple of broken ribs and a concussion, but is otherwise alright. Tubbs tells Crockett that he's worried about how Crockett has been spending his time since Cassidy's murder. Crockett once again assures Tubbs that there is nothing to worry about. Crockett then gets up and leaves to go to OCB. At OCB, Castillo asks Crockett if he's really ready to be working after what happened to Cassidy. Crockett tells him that he is. Castillo then tells him to keep his priorities straight then.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) pulls his car into the parking lot behind OCB. As he is walking into the station, he is stopped by Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs). Tubbs tells Crockett that he really thinks he shouldn't be working right now with every thing he's gone through recently. Crockett says that he is fine to work today. Tubbs stands in Crockett's path to get into the building and asks Crockett when the last time he saw his son was. Crockett says too long, not since before Cassidy was killed. Tubbs says that's too long and suggests Crockett go see him and he'll talk to Castillo for him. Tubbs shakes Crockett's hand and tells him to go relax and see his boy, the squad can manage without him for a few days. Crockett gets back into his car and pulls away from OCB. Tubbs goes into the office of Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia). Tubbs tells Garcia that he convinced Crockett to take a few days off, Castillo says that Crockett needs it.

Crockett drives north to Jacksonville where his ex-wife moved. The house is bigger than he expected and right off the water. He knocks on the door and is surprised that the door is opened by Bob Vaughn (Adrian Pasdar). Crockett asks who he is, but before Bob can answer Crockett's ex-wife Caroline (Amanda Righetti) comes to the door and greets him. Bob introduces himself as Caroline's fiance. Caroline shoots him a look and apologizes to Crockett for not telling him yet. Crockett is clearly stung by the news, and asks where his son is. Caroline says he's playing video games in the living room and leads Crockett through the palatial house, giving a mini tour on the way to the living room. Crockett comments that Bob must do well for himself. Caroline explains that Bob owns a commercial real estate company. They finally make it to the living room where Billy Crockett (Iain Armitage) is playing a video game. Billy sets the controller down and runs over to hug his father. Caroline asks what their plan is. Crockett says he is going to rent a boat and take Billy fishing. Bob says that Crockett doesn't need to rent a boat, he has one that he can let them use. Bob and Caroline lead Sonny and Billy to a boat dock behind the house where Bob shows off his boat. Bob asks Crockett if he knows his way around a boat, and Caroline tells him that Crockett literally lives on a boat. Bob laughs and tosses the keys to the boat to Crockett, saying it sounds like his boat will be in good hands.

Later that day, Crockett and Billy are out on the open ocean on Bob's boat. Billy is sitting in the sun, playing a game on his phone. Crockett feels something bite on his fishing rod. Crockett says it's a big one and tells Billy to put his phone down and come help him reel the fish in. Crockett and Billy struggle to bring the fish in, and the fish breaks free from the hook. While Crockett gets the hook ready again, Billy points out to an object in the water and asks his father what it is. Crockett gets the boat closer and fishes the object out of the water with a fishing net. When he gets it onto the deck of the boat he instantly realizes that they've found a package of cocaine. He explains to Billy that it is drugs and that they are going to turn the package in to the Jacksonville Police.

As Crockett and Billy are on their way back to the shore with the recovered package of cocaine, they see another boat quickly approaching them. Crockett tells Billy to put a towel over the package and sit on it, and to not say anything to whoever the people are - just act natural, he says. Billy picks up his phone and starts playing a game again. Crockett checks to make sure he has his back-up gun with him and tucks it in the back of his shorts. The boat comes even closer, and the driver (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) begins waving at Crockett. The driver introduces himself as Omar and asks Crockett if he's seen anything floating in the water. Crockett shakes his head no. Omar explains that he works for a shipping company and they must have lost some of the ship's cargo earlier in the day and his boss is going to rip him a new one if he can't find the missing cargo. Crockett says he hasn't seen anything. Omar pulls out a gun and asks Crockett if he minds if he takes a look around his boat for it. Crockett says he does mind, but that he's not going to say no with a gun aimed at him. Omar begins tethering his boat to Crockett's. Crockett rushes over and kicks Omar in the head and tells Billy to take the boat's controls. Billy pushes the throttle forward, and the boat lunges forward. Omar falls into the water, but quickly climbs back on board of his boat and gives chase. Crockett aims his gun at Omar's boat and begins firing. Omar fires back, putting several bullet holes in Bob's boat. Crockett tells Billy to get down and take cover. Crockett aims again and manages to hit the engine of the speedboat driven by Omar. The engine begins smoking and the boat slows down. Crockett gets back behind the boat's controls and heads for the harbor.

Crockett calls 9-1-1 and informs the dispatch that he is a Miami police officer and alerts them that an armed drug runner is on a broken down boat at sea not far from the Jacksonville harbor. Crockett takes Billy with him to the station to deliver the package of cocaine to the Jacksonville PD. They ask him a ton of questions, but Crockett tells them that they already know as much as he does on the matter and walks out of the station with his son. They go back to the harbor to pick up Bob's boat and start driving it back to the house. Crockett comments that he hopes Bob doesn't mind a few bullet holes in his boat. Billy says that he thinks Bob will understand, assuring Crockett that Bob is pretty nice guy.

When Crockett and Billy get back to the house, Caroline and Bob are waiting at the dock. They say they heard about what happened on the news. Crockett says that was fast and apologizes to Bob for bringing his boat back with a few brand new bullet holes. Bob surveys the damage and jokes that it adds character. Not many people can say their boat was shot at by drug runners. Crockett says that way more can say that than he would prefer. Billy suggests to Crockett that they continue fishing, but at the dock this time. Crockett says that sounds good to him. While they fish on the dock, Billy asks his father if his job is like that every day. Crockett nods his head and puts his arm around Billy.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) is welcomed back at OCB after his time away. Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) jokes that only Crockett would end up in a shootout with drug runners on his vacation. Larry Zito (Troy Garity) and Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) give Crockett and Tubbs the address of a deal they had set up. Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) informs them that Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) and Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) will be their backup on the deal, posing as prostitutes around the corner from the deal and will be listening in on the whole thing. The deal goes bad quickly as the dealers seem to know that Crockett and Tubbs are cops. Tubbs tries to convince them they're not, but one of the dealers pulls at Tubb's hidden wire. The dealers ambush Crockett and Tubbs. Gina and Trudy begin running around the corner toward the deal. Suddenly, the dealers are all taken out by a sniper. Crockett and Tubbs stand there stunned as Gina and Trudy arrive for backup.

Switek and Zito go visit Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps) at his latest business venture, a hotdog cart. They have him make a few calls, and he informs them that someone named "Calderone" has put a $1 million bounty on Tubbs' head. Switek and Zito head back to OCB and tell the squad what they learned. Crockett is confused since he shot Calderone dead himself to save Tubbs' life. At the end of the day, Crockett drives Tubbs home to make sure that nobody tries to take him out. When Tubbs enters his house, he finds Angelina (Alexa PenaVega), Calderone's daughter, waiting for him. Tubbs is even more surprised to notice that Angelina is noticeably pregnant. They sit and talk and Angelina confirms that Tubbs is the father. Tubbs asks why she is in Miami, and she tells him that her brother Orlando has taken over her father's drug operations and wants to kill Tubbs for his part in killing their father. She's still mad at him, but she doesn't want the father of her soon to be born son to be killed too. She tries to give him an envelope of money, $1 million, so that he can leave town, but Tubbs refuses and leaves to go get help from Crockett.

Tubbs sits down with Crockett and Castillo and fills them in on Angelina. Castillo orders Tubbs to go to a safe house until everything can get sorted out and they can guarantee his safety. Tubbs says he'll go, but only if Angelina can come with him. Tubbs and Crockett head over to Tubbs' place to pick Angelina up, but they find the house ransacked and Angelina is gone. Orlando Calderone (Diego Boneta) has Angelina tied up in a trailer by the beach. He orders his men to rig the trailer with explosives. He then berates his sister for going against the family. Not only is she helping the men who killed their father, but she also got pregnant from one of them. Orlando spits at his sister and leaves the trailer. Orlando calls Tubbs with instructions to meet him in an abandoned trailer park in one hour and that Angelina will be in one of the trailers for him to find. Zito is trying to trace the call and implores Tubbs to keep the conversation going a little longer, but Orlando hangs up just before they can pinpoint the location.

Castillo has Switek pull up satellite images of the trailer park, but admits that it is pretty difficult to come up with a plan of action ahead of time without knowing which trailer Angelina is being kept in. Tubbs says he'll go confront Orlando himself, but Crockett insists on going. Crockett hides in the back of Tubbs' car as he drives toward the trailer park. Castillo has the rest of the squad meet up with SWAT to surround the trailer park. Tubbs pulls the car into the middle of the park and begins walking around and calling out for Angelina. When he finally makes it to the trailer she's in, Orlando calls him over to talk. Angelina tries yelling through her gag to tell Tubbs something. Angelina struggles with her ties, and ends up falling over in her chair, setting off the explosives and blowing up the trailer. Crockett gets out of the backseat and begins shooting at Orlando's men. Tubbs stares at the burning trailer in agony, while Orlando escapes in the chaos of the flames and the shootout. The rest of the Vice squad arrives with SWAT and takes out the rest of Orlando's men. Castillo orders everyone to do a sweep of the area to see if they can find Orlando.

Tubbs holds a funeral for Angelina and his unborn child, who he decides to name Rafael after his late brother. Crockett offers to take Tubbs out on his boat after the funeral to talk about things, saying he knows a thing or two about loss. A van pulls up to the funeral proceedings, alerting the police in attendance. The driver of the van insists he's just delivering flowers. Tubbs takes the flowers. The card is signed by Orlando and simply says "I'll be back."

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) are in pursuit of a suspect speeding away down the highway at high speeds. The suspect hits a pothole, which flips the car up in the car, sending it crashing down into the swamps along the roadway. Crockett and Tubbs cautiously get out of their car and make their way over to the crushed remains of the suspect's car with their guns raised. When they get to the car, they find the suspect dead and a case of cocaine destroyed, with the drugs blowing around in the evening breeze.

Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) gets on the case of Crockett and Tubbs for not bringing in a suspect, the drugs or the money used for the purchase. Crockett says that two of those three options were deemed impossible from the car crash. While Castillo is talking with Crockett and Tubbs, Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) and Larry Zito (Troy Garity) field a call from Vice informant Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps). He tells them that he heard about the crash and might have some information regarding the guy Crockett and Tubbs were chasing. Seeing that Crockett and Tubbs are busy, Switek and Zito decide to head down to Lamont's hotdog stand themselves.

Switek and Zito arrive at Lamont's beach side hotdog stand. Lamont is surprised to see them since he thought that Crockett and Tubbs were on the case. Switek and Zito tell him that those two are busy dealing with the mess of the deal last night, so now Lamont gets to deal with them. Lamont relents and tells the detectives that the driver from last night was a runner for an aspiring kingpin called Snares, who has been making big moves to take over the drug trade around Miami Beach. Switek and Zito are surprised that they've never heard of the guy, but Lamont assures them that he is real, and real dangerous, having made a name for himself in the world of Miami's underground bare-knuckle fighting. Lamont gives them an address of the next fight, where Snares will often be running his drug business from.

When Switek and Zito arrive at the fight they witness the hulking Marcus Snares (Winston James Francis) brutally pummeling his opponent in the ring. Switek says that Snares isn't so big, but Zito jokes that Snares makes Switek look like a shrimp. Switek sneaks off and puts some money on Snares' next fight. Snares makes quick work of his next opponent, knocking him out with a single punch. Zito confidently walks over to Snares and claims to be an MMA promoter from Atlantic City interested in getting into business with Snares. The fighter, Snares, is excited and shakes Zito's hand, engulfing it with his. They set aside a time for them to meet and discuss the matter more in depth at Snares' house the next day.

Zito and Switek return to OCB and inform the squad about their meeting with Snares, who is supposedly the one behind last night's ill-fated deal. Crockett and Tubbs are annoyed since it should be their case, but Castillo agrees to allow Switek and Zito to continue working it after they reveal all the details to the team. However, Castillo advises them to be extra careful undercover. When Switek and Zito walk away, Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) confides in Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) that she has a bad feeling about this one.

Zito and Switek arrive at Snares' house, which is much nicer than one would expect from an underground street fighter. Zito introduces Snares to Switek, referring to him as a trainer that works with his clients. Snares introduces the men to his wife, Lucinda Snares (Tabria Majors). Snares, with Lucinda at his side, shows off his impressive outdoor home gym. Switek comments that it is a sweet set-up and asks how he paid for it all. Snares says that he has various business ventures that have done well recently - hustlers always be hustling, he says. Zito and Snares sit down to discuss business, but Zito's lack of knowledge starts to show a little bit. Zito starts to get nervous as Snares becomes suspicious.

Plot: Marcus Snares (Winston James Francis) is staring Larry Zito (Troy Garity) down. Zito is clearly nervous. Snares' wife, Lucinda (Tabria Majors), brings him a briefcase. As Snares opens the briefcase, Switek tries to peek inside. Switek sees that the briefcase contains a submachine gun. Switek yells for Zito to get down just as Snares opens fire. Zito takes several bullets to the chest before he is able to get out of the way. Switek manages to get his gun out and shoot Snares, but the hulking thug doesn't stop. Switek manages to duck behind a small brick wall and reloads his gun. Snares empties his clip at the brick wall, giving Switek the chance to fire back. Switek manages to hit Snares in the head, stopping and killing him. Switek comes out from under his cover and holds his gun at Lucinda, telling her she is under arrest. He calls out for Zito, but doesn't get a response. He finds Zito floating in Snares' swimming pool, dead. Switek calls for an ambulance. Switek then dives into the pool to pull Zito's body out of the water.

The rest of the Vice squad arrives at the crime scene. Zito is pronounced dead at the scene. Switek is seemingly in shock over the incident. Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) tells Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) and Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) to take Lucinda down to the station for questioning. Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) offer to take Switek home and take his story there, but Switek rejects the offer. He insists on going down to the station since that would be protocol. Crockett assures Switek that Zito's death isn't his fault. Switek becomes angry and says that he should have known that he and Zito were over their heads on this one. He says that Crockett and Tubbs always seem to come out of these undercover scenarios unscathed, so he and Zito thought they could too. Crockett says that nobody gets out of being undercover unscathed.

In the interview room at OCB, Tubbs questions Lucinda, but she doesn't give anything up. Castillo says that it is fine if she doesn't talk since there is more than enough evidence at the scene and from Switek's account of the events to put her away as a accessory to the murder of a police officer. Switek gets angry while recounting his version of the events to internal affairs and storms out of OCB. Crockett is about to go after him, but Castillo recommends just letting him go and start grieving. Switek drives around for a while and ends up in front of Zito's apartment. Switek enters the apartment and sits among Zito's expansive snowglobe collection. Switek finds a snow globe of Miami and gives it a shake. As he watches the snow fall on the miniature Miami, Switek breaks down crying over the death of his partner and best friend.

Crockett and Tubbs take a ride down to the beach to talk to Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps). They ask him why he let Zito and Switek onto Snares. Lamont says that Snares was a bad guy and Zito and Switek are the good guys. Tubbs mentions that Zito was a good guy. Lamont asks what happened, and they tell him that Zito died while making an undercover deal with Snares. Lamont apologizes to the detectives, saying that he never wanted Zito to get hurt, especially since he was the only one of the cops that he actually liked. Tubbs is surprised to hear this, and Lamont reveals that he and Zito were both big time snow globe collectors. Crockett arrives at Zito's apartment to find Switek.

At Zito's funeral, Switek is asked to give the eulogy. Switek stands in front of everyone, but struggles to get words out, cutting short his eulogy after just a few words. Gina goes up, gives Switek a hug and walks him away. Castillo gets up in Switek's stead and tells everyone that Zito was a good police officer and an even better man. He knows that everyone present at the funeral will miss him. Castillo comments that he usually doesn't talk this much and walks away from the podium. Despite the Miami sunshine, the day is somber.

At OCB, Castillo acknowledges that the team may have some difficulties after the death of a beloved colleague. Castillo, however, tells the team to do its grieving in private, as the street has no sympathy. Crockett and Tubbs take Switek out on Crockett's boat. They make a toast in Zito's memory on the open water.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) are in front of the court house after testifying in a trial. The jury from a high profile trial is being loaded up on to a bus to be taken to their hotel when a car drives up and opens fire with a submachine gun at the jury bus. Crockett and Tubbs run open fire on the car, but it gets away. They check on the jury members, and thankfully none of them are injured, but they are definitely rattled.

After the shooting, Crockett and Tubbs are brought into a meeting with FBI Agent Bateman (Channon Roe) and Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia). Castillo explains that the FBI has requested that Crockett and Tubbs guard an important witness in the trial from earlier in the morning for the next 72 hours while the FBI protects the jury. Bateman introduces the detectives to the witness, Keith Lazard (Steven R. McQueen), who enters the room with a swagger that Tubbs jokingly says reminds him of Crockett. Castillo tells Crockett and Tubbs to hole up at a hotel with Lazard for the 72 hours and not to let Lazard out of their sights.

While Crockett, Tubbs and Lazard are at the hotel, Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) stops by the room with dinner for everyone. Crockett turns on a baseball game and relaxes in front of the television. Trudy leaves the hotel room, and Lazard excuses himself to use the restroom. When Trudy is in the hotel lobby, Lazard approaches her and starts hitting on her. Trudy orders him to go back to the room before the wrong people see him out and about. Crockett and Tubbs realize that Lazard is no longer in the bathroom and find him at the hotel bar chatting up a group of women. Crockett grabs him by the arm and leads him toward the room. Suddenly, a gunman opens fire at Lazard, but Tubbs manages to gun them down.

In the morning, Castillo comes down to the hotel and says that it is out as a safe house and says they might as well just give the case back to the FBI even if they already have their hands full. Crockett says that he knows a place that they crooks won't know about. Crockett and Tubbs walk Lazard out to Crockett's car, and Tubbs asks where Crockett plans on taking the witness. Crockett says the open ocean. Crockett drives Lazard to his boat and takes it out to the open water. Crockett enjoys a little fishing time while Lazard feeds Crockett's pet gator Elvis. Everything is calm for a while until a helicopter strafes the boat. Crockett fires a flare gun at the chopper, causing it to crash into the water.

Lazard is shaken after the helicopter incident and asks Crockett if he thinks Tubbs could have sold them out. Crockett assures Lazard that Tubbs would never do anything like that. Crockett steers the boat toward a meeting place where Lazard is supposed to handed back to the FBI. Crockett manages to get Tubbs on the phone and tells him about the helicopter incident and asks who else knew they would be out on the water. Tubbs says that just Castillo and Agent Bateman were told. Crockett and Tubbs realize that Bateman must be crooked.

At the handoff location Crockett, Tubbs and Castillo confront Bateman with their inclination that Bateman is leaking information to criminals. Bateman pulls a gun on the detectives, but he is shot down by Lazard. The Vice squad is surprised by this. Lazard then reveals himself as DEA Agent Johnny Hardin. He was sent undercover as the witness in order to try to flush out the source of several FBI leaks, which it turns out was Agent Bateman.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) arrives at OCB where Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) informs him that he has been assigned a new cover car. Castillo leads Crockett to the garage behind the station and reveals a white 2020 Ferrari F8 Spider. Crockett's jaw drops. Castillo tell Crockett he better take care of the car since he had to fight with the the higher ups to keep the car off the auction block. Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) joins them in the garage and asks to ride along in the car for a test drive. Castillo tosses the keys to Crockett and urges him to abide by the speed limit. Not too long later, Crockett and Tubbs are speeding down the highway in the Spider, going well over 100 MPH with ease.

Ira Stone (Desmin Borges) is in near the Mexican border observing Cartel runners from afar. He takes out a camera and begins recording their movements. He then sees them kill several local, but by their movements he suspects that they have been professionally trained, something rare for Mexican drug operations. He then thinks he recognizes the man giving them orders. He quickly gathers his camera and escapes the area.

When they get back from their test drive, Crockett and Tubbs find Ira Stone waiting for them in front of OCB. Inside Stone shows them the video, but pauses it on the man he recognizes. Crockett says it kind of looks like Maynard from afar, and Stone says that's exactly what he thought. Stone asks them what they think of how the men are operating, and Tubbs and Crockett both agree that they move in a precise manner not characteristic of the cartels, almost like they have US military background. Stone says that's what frightened him enough to leave the area before recording any more. They show the footage to Castillo, who agrees that it's troubling, but reminds them that they are Miami police who don't have any jurisdiction outside Dade county. Crockett asks the recently back to work Stan Switek (Brad William Henke) to try to keep Stone at the station. Switek says he can't make Stone stick around. Crockett tells him to lock Stone if he has to.

When Crockett arrives at his boat that night and finds a couple spooks waiting for him. They want to know where Ira Stone is. Crockett says he can't help them. Crockett lets Elvis out of the cabin, which scares them off his boat. Crockett calls Stone and informs him that some shady CIA types were around looking for him, which means that somebody doesn't want that video getting out. Based on the noises in the background, Crockett asks Stone where he is. Stone says he left the station to get a hotel room. Crockett is pissed that Stone left and demands his location. Stone tells him that he left the video at OCB and gives him the name of the hotel. Crockett orders him to stay put and gets in the Spider.

When Crockett arrives at the hotel, Stone is nowhere to be found. Crockett's phone begins to ring. He looks at the caller ID, which says Ira Stone. He answers to find Maynard (Richard Burgi) on the other end of the line. He tells him that he wants the video in exchange for Stone's life. Crockett calls Tubbs and tells him to grab the video and head down to his boat. When Tubbs arrives, Crockett tells him that they will simply hand over the tape for Stone since they still have a digital copy of the footage.

When they arrive at the meet, Crockett and Tubbs demand that Maynard prove Stone is still alive. Maynard orders his men to bring Stone out. He is heavily beaten and bloody. Crockett tosses over the hard copy of the video. Maynard laughs, asking if Crockett thinks it's 1986 or something. He knows they're bound to have uploaded it somewhere and orders his men to kill Crockett and Tubbs. Switek, Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke), Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) and even Lt. Castillo arrive with a SWAT team as backup. In the ensuing gunfire, Stone is mortally wounded. Crockett chases after Maynard, who boards a waiting helicopter nearby. Crockett opens fire at the chopper, causing it to spiral out of control and crash into the ground with an explosion. Crockett rushes back to Stone's side, but finds that he's already died.

Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) stares at a picture of his late wife Cassidy with a tear in his eyes. He then gets dressed, feeds his gator Elvis and drives to a marina where his partner Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) is waiting for him. Crockett is set to go onto a yacht full of local drug runners under his cover identity, Sonny Burnett. Tubbs fills him in on who has already boarded the boat. One on the boat, Crockett notices his contact Alejandro Gutierrez (Carlos Leon) head below deck on the ship. A few moments later Gutierrez comes back up and suggests to Crockett that he leave the boat before it hits the open water. Crockett asks why, but Gutierrez just continues moving and gets off the boat. Crockett decides to stay on the boat to see if Gutierrez's boss, Miguel Manolo, decides to show up for the event. Once the boat is out on the open water, it explodes.

Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) and Tubbs are dismayed that Crockett's body hasn't been found yet. Tubbs starts going through Crockett's files on Manolo, suspecting that since he was the only one who hadn't shown up for the boat, that he must be behind the explosion. Crockett suddenly wakes up in a hospital bed with a serious head injury. He doesn't remember who he is or how he ended up  there. Gutierrez walks into the room and tells Crockett that he is Sonny Burnett, a drug runner. The doctor tells Crockett that he has temporary amnesia, but that his memories should slowly start to come back.

Once he is out of the hospital, Crockett (still thinking he is Sonny Burnett) heads over to Miguel Manolo's waterfront mansion. He is greeted by Manolo (Mark Consuelos), who shows off his prized cockfighting birds to Crockett. He assures Crockett that he didn't have the boat blown up and that he wants Sonny Burnett, the one survivor, to figure out who did it and make them pay. While at Manolo's house, he is introduced to Manolo's assistant Polly Wheeler (Cody Horn). When Crockett leaves Manolo's house, he sees Gutierrez drive by, triggering a memory of seeing Gutierrez do something below deck and then leave the boat. Crockett goes back to Manolo, and tells him that he believes Gutierrez must have been behind the boat explosion.

Tubbs starts his own investigation into what happened to his partner. Castillo wants the case handed over to homicide, but Tubbs pleads for a little time to take a look at things. Meanwhile, Crockett/Burnett is handling a meet for Manolo, which quickly goes bad, but Crockett/Burnett stops the others from ripping off Manolo's product by shooting one of the men, and trapping the other two in the trunk of their car. Burnett is approached on the beach at night by Gutierrez, who wants to go into business with Burnett. Instead, Burnett shoots Gutierrez in the face and walks away. He gives Manolo a call, saying it's done.

Tubbs arrives at Manolo's art gallery where he meets Polly Wheeler. He introduces himself as Rico Cooper and asks for a meeting with her boss, Manolo. Wheeler calls Manolo and tells him about the visit from Cooper, and he tells her to go ahead and arrange for a meet in the alley behind the gallery. That night, Tubbs arrives for the meet, only to be shot in the chest by Crockett/Burnett. Tubbs survives the shot since he is wearing a bulletproof vest. Tubbs manages to escape the scene, gasping for air. Tubbs sees Crockett leaving the scene and calls out for him, but he keeps walking away.
