The way Tubbs sits there and says nothing. Classic.

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

The fact that he let his guard down after having saved both young men earlier is what hit Crockett the hardest.

[@evieraotacon]

That look on his face just before Eddie gets shot. Was unforgettable just sheer horror. Great performances by the late Alexis Arguello and AL Shannon (Eddie).

All the boy wanted was to go home. Crockett's expressions man 💔

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

I think maybe the saddest ending in Vice. Crockett looked at Eddie like an innocent brother or son and he couldn't save him even after Eddie helped them. Don Johnson is a really great actor and it's in moments like these you realize it. He gets alot of cliche lines but his delivery is always so heartfelt and real.

[@aqariusmann1973]

Don Jonhsons expression at the end is priceless. So much sadness. He is a real god actor

[@AGC828]

So well written. Original. 2 vice cops sitting on the ground cross legged--Tubbs. Cops that gave a damn about 2 "teens" who made bad choices. Almost home...one gets murdered in the airport...has been no cop show to date that's matched or surpassed MV in the impact they had on TV and did to revitalize a dead street in a city (South Beach was dead before MV...became a hot spot...and helped put Miami on the map). Fashion trends for that time. Paired rock/pop songs to action scenes filmed like a music video. 80's 90's...and 70's great programming.

[@leofelco9343]

@ Cody Smith "...epic dramatic moments...' I'm glad you pointed this out about this show! Most comments are made about the Clothes, the cars, beautiful backdrop of Miami, etc. but the real reason this show is iconic is moments like this! From the very first episode, 'Brother's Keeper', you realize these characters aren't going to win every battle...and you may lose some people along the way. I must have watched the final five minutes of that episode (and this one too) a thousand times. From the time you see that, you understand why this show is still being talked about almost 40 years later!!!

[@claudewinchester7068]

If younger audiences don't feel this, I just don't know what else to say. So primetime shows struggled greatly with what they could show back then due to tight regulations, but it doesn't make them any less gritty. A dead kid would never be shown on-screen -- I've been disturbed by that sight on shows like Chicago PD and Law and Order SVU; great shows, they don't hold back from the raw reality of the streets and crime, but damn -- but moments like this, the entirety of The Good Collar, Scotty's arrest in front of his family, and so on are epic dramatic moments of TV you'll ever find.

[@fuffilicious]

As a younger person who greatly enjoys Miami Vice, this ending absolutely gut-wrenching. It's one of the reasons why I consider it the best TV episode I've ever seen so far.

[@claudewinchester7068]

@@fuffilicious Always great to see younger folks enjoy it! I started watching as a teen in the mid-2000s. Thanks to Vice City for me noticing the cars, it started an undying love. This show actually changed everything, but it's horribly underrated and a forgotten classic.

[@floridaloveclifton5175]

Started watching Miami Vice about a week ago, and I feel crockett’s pain when I saw this episode. Bruh felt like he’s failed when he couldn’t save Eddie. He was just a kid, his death reminds me a lot like his friend Eddie Rivera in the pilot episode and he couldn’t save him from the explosion. Crockett seen a lot of innocent people die and knowing he can’t save them all. But he and Tubbs and the Miami Vice squad can avenge their deaths.

[@DryRoastedAreBest]

One of my most favourite episodes, with the ending making it. So close to getting home safe. Jan Hammer's "Rain" and "Crockett's Theme" being played slowly really add to the sombre message of the entire episode and Crockett's despair

[@shashijain5084]

While Don Johnson is celebrated for being super Cool & macho as Sonny Crockett !! He really is actually a rare talent . Intense, authentic & brilliant !! In every role he has played since , he has proved it !!

Tubbs was really skilled and cold-blooded in this gunfight. He jogs lightly after the gangster and doesn't rush since he suspects an ambush. Then evades the first shotgun blast, took cover and patiently waited for his chance. Then opened fire from a concealed position.

[@wesleymorris2699]

Why Tubbs always got a little ass pistol while Crockett has a damn cannon for a gun

[@johncole2469]

Tubbs was NYPD at one time. Detectives in NYPD carried Colt Detective Specials, S&W Chief Specials, Centennials, and Bodyguards (M60, M36, M38s, etc) .38 Special snubnoses. Crockett, being prior military, carried full size guns plus it is south Florida, glitzy: Browning BDA/SIG-Sauer P220 in .45 ACP, Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten 10mm Auto (or .45 ACP blanks if your really technical), S&W M645 and M4506.

[@Skullsinthecrowd]

Tubbs also used to use a sawn-off shotgun before switching to a pump-action.

[@notaclerk1]

Do a little weapon research sometime. Tubbs also is undercover as the sleek business man type dealer .... Like a James Bond type. Crockett was supposed to be the Thug smuggler type with a fast boat.

[@wolfieears1984]

With that short barrel you'd be lucky to hit a barn door at 5 paces.

[@xraystudios3693]

not exactly, a hand canon, its a 10mm auto gun, which is somewhat powerful for the averege, "hand canons" shoot much more powerful rounds, the bare minimum is the .357 Magnum, which is way more powerful.

[@jjbinx]

GREATEST TV SHOW EVER!

[@GSC2000]

Truly a sad moment

[@midohiobuckeyeaorwarrior9743]

One of the few rare moments on show where we see Sonny crying, or close to it. Other eps of note, "Deliver Us From Evil," The Good Collar," "Theresa," "Evan," "Line Of Fire" and "Child's Play." I can even make a case for "Rites Of Passage" when he calls Rico to break the news that Valerie's little sister Diana has been murdered.

[@andrewdutton3831]

As a kid, I always thought it was so cool that the film-makers didn't try to compensate for the 60HZ alternating current flicker of the fluorescent lights in the gift shop. The flicker during the slow-motion scenes made it seem much more real.

-Message to Vin Diesel, the new producer of the future TV show "Miami Vice" that he wants to remake; Can you PLEEEAAASE Jesse Johnson, Don Johnson's son, as an actor for the character Sonny Crockett (like his father in the 1980's), because he is an excellent actor (he knows how to render, like his father, the emotional, physical and introspective side of the characters he plays), and also, because he looks so much like his father, that for "Miami Vice", it would be the most judicious and intelligent choice for this new series.
