Miami Supercops

Something's wrong with it. Could you check the magazine?

Let's have a look at it.

Maybe the release is stuck.

I'll replace it. Won't take a minute. Just hold on.

Don't move! Don't breathe, don't hit the alarm!

We want guns and ammo!

Stay there and you won't get hurt!

Freeze! Make a move and you're dead!

You, drop your gun, slowly.

You, put your hands on top of your head.

Get down on your knees. Down on your knees!

Stay!

And, you, get on the counter.

Slowly.

Stay.

Hands on top of your head.

Okay, fellows. The tip paid off. I got them. Come on in.

Roger.

Doug, your buddy Forrest doesn't answer from Tampa.

You want me to keep on trying?

I'll try him later.

- By the way, is this your first flight? - Yes, it is.

A helicopter is like a woman, a beautiful woman.

It's very delicate.

You like music? Lmagine you're dancing a waltz.

I feel sick. I don't think helicopters are for me.

Are you sure?

Why not? It's so easy. Come on.

This is Doug Bennet. I'm calling from New York.

May I speak to Steve Forrest, please?

He's still flying? Okay, I'll call him back.

- What's going on? - He asked for it!

Let him go.

You bastard, you're worse than he is.

That's the only picture I have of my friend Steve.

Just get rid of him.

I'm sorry about that, Steve.

Tampa Flying School. Can I help you?

Hi, this is Bennet again. Has he landed?

One moment, please.

Hi.

Who is it?

Come on.

This is Steve Forrest's answering service. I am out right now.

So please leave me your name, number, and message after the beep.

Very funny, Steve.

My favourite voice.

Listen, Joe Garret got out of jail yesterday.

Why are you calling me?

It's the only case we never solved in our whole career.

It's your career, Blue Eyes. I resigned two years ago.

You're not getting me back until they give me permission...

to use my fists on bad guys.

I've got no time for Boy Scouts.

Listen, about Garret.

After he left jail, he got in touch with someone in Miami.

He's on his way down there this very minute.

Yeah? I got news for you.

Ten of my students are having tests in the air next week...

and you're trying to tell me about an old robbery.

Robbery? The robbery. $20 million, Steve.

Even if it was $200 million, my students' tests still come first.

Come on, Steve.

Garret's on flight Eastern 181.

He'll land in 45 minutes.

That'll give you enough time to get there and trail him. I thought...

You thought wrong! Over and out.

Keep on driving.

Get the wallets, the jewellery! Hurry up!

This money is all I've got.

No, there's nothing in here. Just documents.

Okay, stop right up here.

Come on, let's go.

All right!

Calm down, folks!

We're not far from the police station. I'll take you there, okay?

- Chief? - Come on in, Lyon.

One of the passengers is missing. He must have slipped.

- What makes you think that, Lyon? - His bags are there, he ain't.

Great thinking. Go through the bags and see if you can come up with a name.

Done that already.

This is a release from San Quentin.

The guy's name is Garret. He got out of the pen two days ago.

- Garret. That name mean anything to you? - Afraid not, Captain.

Didn't think it would. Joe Garret was convicted...

of robbing the Detroit First National Bank of $20 million.

He was arrested immediately by two real cops, friends of mine.

He served nine years, and he never snitched on his accomplices.

I wonder what brings him to Miami in such a hurry.

Sooner or later, everybody comes to Miami. The sun's always shining.

Right, the sun's always shining.

Hey, have you got a light?

Why, I hardly touched you.

You could at least say hello to me.

I'm sorry. I guess I don't know my own strength.

- I didn't mean to hurt you. - Bill, looks like you found some company.

Friend, cut the sunshine. I'm a nightbird.

He's dead.

Dead? I'm innocent! I wanna talk to my attorney!

Richie, get two ambulances. One for the hospital, one for the morgue.

Com. Risner just won't get off my case.

The minute we heard Garret was in town, we tried to pick him up.

- But we missed him. Result: Garret's dead. - Yeah, I heard.

We at the Bureau are taking an interest in the case.

Why don't you let me handle this thing? I can't let Risner force me into retirement.

You know things haven't been going well at the station with me lately.

Risner likes to remind me of that.

As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to work on the case.

As long as you don't get in the way of my boys.

I want the Bureau to work on it, but with the agents of my choice.

- Who do you have in mind? - Doug Bennet and Steve Forrest.

I don't know the names.

They're with the New York office. Class agents.

A long time ago, when I was up north, they were on the police force with me.

To be exact, they're the ones that caught Garret.

What do you want me to do?

Lend me Bennet and Forrest. They can pass as city cops.

Undercover?

Can do. I'll call the New York office today.

Agent Bennet, the Chief wants you in his office on the double.

You wanted to see me, sir?

You interested in handling the Garret case?

Yes, sir. I had him trailed from the minute he got out of jail.

And naturally, you asked for help from your old buddy Forrest.

But because he's still upset, he turned you down.

You got it, sir.

- In the meantime, they killed Garret. - Right.

Which leads us to believe that his accomplice and $20 million...

is somewhere in the Miami area.

Your assignment is to fly to Tampa. Convince Forrest to work with you.

You'll be taking orders from your old acquaintance...

Capt. Tanney of the Hialeah Police.

All right, sir.

By the way, how are you gonna convince him?

I'll twist his arm a little.

One more step and I'll break your legs.

Hi, Steve. Long time no see.

Let's keep it that way.

What a way to greet your buddy.

Save your breath. You're wasting your time.

Look, Steve, I came to ask you to come on back.

Are you deaf? You're wasting your time. Go home.

Steve, you're gonna change your mind.

No way, Blue Eyes.

Not even if I tell you they killed...

our old chief, Capt. Tanney?

When? Who?

It could have been the same guys who bumped off Garret.

- Let's go. - Yeah, let's go.

Funny. After seven years in prison...

Garret comes down here to get the $20 million.

Instead, he gets killed.

Life's strange, isn't it, Steve?

Charlie, isn't it exciting getting away from New York...

and the constant threat of violence?

Keep on rolling, pal.

Okay, monkey face, give me the loot.

Wake up. He's talking to you.

Steve, wake up! He's talking to you!

Freeze. Get them up there!

You two up front there!

Don't try it!

Freeze! Stop!

Sit there.

Just like old times. Back in the saddle again.

I'm gonna leave you my bag and these punks to take in by yourself.

- Why? Where are you going? - To visit Tanney's widow.

What's the hurry? We can go later.

Sorry, Doug, I prefer to go now.

- Hi, Mrs. Tanney. - Steve.

There was a time when you called me Carol. Come in.

Thank you.

I heard what happened and I...

Yes. Very kind of you. Thank you.

- Sit down. - Thank you.

I'm going to miss him so much.

He was so sweet.

His loss is a real tragedy.

Intelligent, sensitive.

Yes, a real loving companion.

That is so true. I wrote it on his tombstone.

He was always so happy.

Happy?

He jumped and licked and gnawed, pawed all over the place.

Jumped?

And he was so polite.

- Polite? If you say so. - He never messed on the carpets.

He'd wait at the back door...

so he could be let out and do it in the garden.

You've got an outhouse?

Steve, he'll be so happy to see you.

- See me? - He's coming home early tonight.

Listen, Carol...

I know when these things happen it comes as a terrible shock...

- but I'm a bit... - That'll be him. Excuse me.

Hello? Yes, honey.

Not those young hoods again?

It was Doug? Tell him hi from me.

Honey, you'll never guess who's here.

No, it'll be a surprise.
