Crockett’s Mental Health Problems | Miami Vice

Crockett arrives at the psychiatrist's office for intensive therapy, joking it's the same process as an interrogation of prisoners in Vietnam. He talks about how even after the therapy is over, he still has to live his life, which he isn't happy with, including his recent shooting of Santiago.
From Miami Vice Season 5 Episode 11 “Miami Squeeze”: Crockett recruits the young cop from the Line of Fire episode to assist in an investigation of a dandy British drug lord and his operation in Miami, which includes the son of an anti-drug legislator. Also, Sonny visits a shrink.

Don Johnson was at his best when he got to do one of these monologues. Even though he knew the end was near, he never phoned in his performance. He always gave 110 percent

I love that 80s room architecture, looks modern even for nowadays

[@adamcrookedsmile]

it was futuristic because people had hope. We were not made to feel guilty about trying to make our future better like we are now.

Crockett's dialog is an excellent foreshadowing and build-up to the final Freefall episode.

[@rasalghul9331]

Even the first season episode, "Milk Run" foreshadowed the ruthless, senseless, violence and helplessness that will take its toll on any cop - even Crockett. The ending of "Milk Run" shows Crockett staring out into space and when Tubbs says, "let's go get the car", Sonny just robotically repeats, "...yeah, let's go get the car..."

[@fever_spike]

Seeing Sonny sitting there actually fighting back tears in the immediate aftermath of Eddie’s death is painful.

[@3randgruppen-in-einer-person]

This scene was shortened and never shown in this length in German TV. It explains the change of Sonny from the end of the episode "Forgive us our debts" and the follow-up "Deliver us from evil", when the criminal he released from prison shot his wife. Every episode in Germany has to be cut down to 42,5 Minutes because of the program scedule. The TV station had cut out all the scenes they thought it would be "too challenging" or "too disturbing" or "too explicit" for the audience. By the way, 30 years ago, 99% of the people in Germany wouldn´t have understood this scene even it had been shown. Miami Vice was ahead of its time, even in this sequence. And for all the conservative people who only love the first two seasons: It would have been totally boring to see 112 episodes that never changed the style or the characters. Life goes on and it changes every day. Otherwise there would be no evolution.

[@lindacollins903]

There are some episodes in season 5 that weren't among my favorites, but overall, all 5 seasons were great. I'm about to start them over again on Peacock

[@goriflex2441]

Great take pal! I also think the way you do, even though the first two seasons shine much better than the other 3, especially the forth and the fifth. And that is because they were darker, we got to see Crockett lose people he loved, being hurt, depressed and all kinds of bad things throughout this series, just like we also see Tubbs being heartbroken, especially in the episode where Valerie comes back in the 5 season, I felt so sorry for him, and also in Freefall. Yes, life is not great, and those final seasons are incredible in their dark way of showing the lives of Crockett and Tubbs, long live Miami Vice!

[@VIP-rp3oq]

Wow how auful to miss all those minutes 😕 think we got the full episode s in the UK. I personally think some of the best episodes were in season 5 though there definitely was some poor ones as well.

[@andikrause399]

Yes, typical german policy of not overexerting the audience with real challenging topics. They still do this, they even cut out scenes from comedy shosw from the 80s and 90s, it's pure bs.

Every Miami Vice episode is a workart! A couple of years ago,I saw one interview which they asked him why not return to Miami Vice, and he answered: Crockett was a dark character and he couldn't go any further. Looking back on this episode, I think he is right. Miami Vice was ahead of its time!

[@leestockton9367]

Intense and finely acted by Don Johnson. This guy should have had more starring roles in Hollywood movies; it's borderline criminal that he was so often overlooked

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

He's also not a bad film actor, but most of them were not hits. I think the ones that did best were Tin Cup with Costner and Russo (not his picture) and the one about the Neo-Nazis in the Northwest, Dead Bang, with Bill Forsythe.

Watching this, I can't help but think of Johnson's scene (also as a burned out cop) in the psychiatrists office (also mandated by his bosses in the police force) in John Frankenheimer's Dead Bang, a movie Johnson made right around the time Miami Vice ended or was close to ending in 1989. I'm sure everyone has seen it, but for those few that haven't, it's a must see, as Johnson is terrific and the dark humor in it holds up, even after multiple views.

I always thought the same, that he got off pretty easy all things considered. Still, there wasn't much more to go in the series so they had to keep him on.

I thought the same thing, but then I had to ask, what did they know versus what we knew as viewers, and what evidence did they have to prove any of it.
