"I Trusted You!". Iconic Scene | Miami Vice

[@lindacollins903]

This scene, in the first episode of Miami Vice, showed that Don Johnson was born to play Sonny Crockett and he proved it time and time again ♥️😎

[@michaelj.r457]

It's strange to think he just barely got the role over Larry Wilxox from CHIPS.

[@lindacollins903]

@@michaelj.r457 NBC didn't want Don. Five pilots he did for them never made it. But, Anthony Yerkovich fought for him, and the rest is history. Things happen when they're supposed to happen

[@RB2331]

When that script was written, Don Johnson, who is doing basically nothing for a decade he auditioned and he did incredibly well, but NBC wanted the guy who just left chips the blonde guy who would’ve been OK but James Sonny Crockett is and will always be written perfect for Don Johnson in the summer of 83 no one knew who he was but September 1984 his life changed and this scene was pure magic. You can just see Don Johnson feels the betrayal of a dear friend. I was 17 years old guys here we are 40 years later and the guy in the passenger side, but he’s aged terribly , but said this was pure magic and I enjoyed every minute four years then syndication then VHS DVD and of course streaming 😄

[@ThomasSoles]

Always felt like this was Don's first big acting moment on this show. And he killed it!

[@kristinakellogg1732]

Agree completely 👍

[@johnflowers2736]

Absolutely-D.J. made his mark in acting as Sonny Crockett and helped make Miami Vice TV Series a Timeless Hit. The TV Series was definitely ahead of it's time 👍

[@lasersauceretroarchives6544]

you haven't seen him so young before his works in Miami Vice.

[@InconspicuousChap]

Not really. "I trusted you" - sorry what? A southerner entrusting his life to someone else?

[@floridaloveclifton5175]

This scene, and “In The Air Tonight” montage is what really got me into this show. That song fits perfectly with the dark streets of Miami. I’ve been watching Miami Vice ever since.

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

Yeah I was hooked from that in the pilot instantly also. But I originally tuned in because I'm a lifelong Dolphins fan, and I was up for anything "Miami", lol.

[@vincentsolyak5403]

Betrayal after being cheated by your lover has got to be the hardest thing to get over with; but among cops betrayal has deadly consequences and hits twice as hard. Don Johnson nailed this scene and what a great lead into the next scene with Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. Absolutely epic.

[@jldog134]

Lower than low Sonny no doubt in conflicted here is a man who saved his life and that same man got his friend Eddie killed and nearly killed Tubbs

[@babymammoth34]

@@jldog134 The man, you can clearly see, felt terrible for his betrayal of Crockett...Crockett didn't care

[@letsbuilda4ort]

Straight fact.

[@PB...]

And right after this scene, it's the mythical moment with the music "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, that some film schools are currently showing to students.

[@SIKE01]

the most iconic scene in TV history.

[@wilro09]

This is the scene that got my Miami Vice addiction going.

[@rollotomassi6374]

When your best friend, partner, associate and or confidant betrays you…..the rage is permanent and justified.

[@Ubbie-sj2vd]

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

[@vxy357]

Been there, done that!

[@eronifitiao6660]

Although Scotty was found as the leak, large amounts of money had been going into Lt Rodriguez bank accounts. Could ve he been in it too?

[@OldMovieRob]

Man, the emotion of that scene

[@scottmccormack3798]

The best television series created in my opinion. I remember my dad occasionally letting me watch on a Friday night. Just introduced miami vice to my 26 year old. We are on season 2.

[@goldfing5898]

I remember my brother and me fighting with my father every Saturday night. He wanted to watch sports on Channel 2, we wanted to switch to Channel 1 where Miami Vice came (this was on German TV). He granted us to switch channels but we always feared to miss the opening scenes (similar to the pre-title sequence in 007 movies) prior to Jan Hammer's great title music. We were angry when we missed only a few seconds, because these were often already packed with action.

[@SenorJuan2023]

The all around acting in this scene is top notch!

[@ryanduddy3043]

Love how tubbs pulls him out man

[@Robocoppat]

BEST TV SHOW EVER! I love this show. I've seen Don Johnson in a variety of stuff. When he started with Nick Nolte in Return to Macon County, both were great in it. However when Miami Vice came along, I was mesmerized! The scene was so crisp I felt like I was standing next to the car on the curb. I would love to see these come back to regular TV on Friday nights.

[@jamestyer8294]

Don Johnson also played a Teenage Indian with David caradine in kung fu

[@Mulkey40]

I remember watching this scene when it first aired. And it floored me.

[@listeningviayoutube7229]

Yes, indeed.

[@robbycan]

love that scene... some amazing acting by Don Johnson there

[@asifkhan4822]

How much to buy you, Scotty. Crockett unleashing the fury.

[@huntercraig1730]

This scene always gets me, made me a die hard Miami vice fan

[@Xerrxify]

one of the best scenes ever in MV, so emotional!

[@harryshuman9637]

Miles ahead anything Netflix has to offer.

[@listeningviayoutube7229]

Facts

[@jonathanmciver1823]

One of the best scenes in television history! Don Johnson made his mark in acting history with this scene right here!

[@jeshkam]

And the rest is history...🌴🦩🐊

[@toolman8269]

Bill Smitrovich (Scotty) does a great job here as well. Over the years since Miami Vice, I see a lot of actors who were on Miami Vice in other TV shows and movies and it's cool to see their progress as an actor. Bill Smitrovich has been in quite a lot of productions, as has Stanley Tucci and Ned Eisenberg, just to name a couple.

[@jmjfanss]

he also appear on one my favorite shows life goes on.

[@jaylamont263]

Another actor who got their start on this show is Ed O’Neil. (Al Bundy)

[@WilliamBrown-qb6nk]

He was also one of the detectives in Crime Story.

[@LS1LT1]

Smitrovich was also in 'Manhunter' (another awesome Michael Mann production) as one of the forensic guys.

[@theenglishprofessor8411]

Smitrovich was also in my second favorite 90's show after The X-Files: Millennium starring Lance Henriksen.

[@exodiatheforbiddenone186]

First the suspicion, then the denial, then the realization, then the bargaining, then the anger, and finally the acceptance that Scottie indeed was the traitor

[@jmjfanss]

the next one is even more iconic.

[@Jessica-eb5op]

Happy 40th Anniversary Miami Vice!!!!! 🩷🩵🦩🌴🐊🌊😎

[@GenkiTheGod]

This was just the first episode. By Season 4, the toll of the job is so evident in Crockett. As an adult, I appreciate how they switched up the tone. During the last episode, Crockett looks like death walking. Burnout and trauma will do that. I can only hope he enjoyed his retirement. It's well-deserved. A revival should maybe see Billy having followed in his footsteps, but he'd be 46 as of 2024, so perhaps the best way to go about that is the first season being his last on the streets before a big promotion, and the rest just has him leading a unit of younger detectives. I don't know, but the show deserves a proper revival. There's no shortage of ideas in today's times.

[@paultucker1272]

Fantastic scene (oh, and probably the only time you see an "M" in the Daytona's seatback.....for McBurnie :) )

[@jjw3956]

Good catch ! I never cared as a car guy this wasn’t a real Ferrari . I can afford to buy a used mcburnie today . I saw one online last week for 10k in Indiana . Looked clean , almost to nice for 10k. Anyway it is exactly like Sonny’s . Maybe I should call the guy ….

[@jhaeck1]

don a good actor.........perfect for this part

[@ryanduddy3043]

The series was born at this point. And "In the Air Tonight" immediately after just hammered it home.

Most gripping scene of betrayal EVER. Besides Dom looking at Bryan in FF1.

where it all began.... and the use of in the air tonight by phil collins is forever iconic.

[@kylepowell9841]

I can't believe that Scott Wheeler betrayed Sonny Crockett like that. The pain and the heartbreaking that Sonny is feeling right now I can't imagine how he is feeling right now.

[@mrski749]

Who remembers watching Miami vice on Friday night as you were getting ready to head out to the Clubs ? God bless you wherever you are. Hope your life is going smoothly.

[@jamesway]

I do 😂

[@francesco0185]

I'm in Italy. I was in high school back then, so I finished all my homeworks in time to watch an episode of Miami Vice at 18 o clock. Many years later I bought a Maserati, pretending to be on Miami Vice ahahahah. BUT there's a thing I want to stress: everybody mentions songs, clothes, cars, sunglasses etc. And ok, that's all important stuff that played a role in this TV Series, but the most important thing is that they had something to tell, good stories, great screenplays, great acting. Without this element, the rest would have been nothing.

[@mariposamichelleable]

I certainly do. Not leaving the house until the end of that episode.😅😅😅

[@JoeBlow-Knoxbaddrivers]

I remember bars shutting off the music to play the show for an hour EST...no lie.

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

I was 14, so I wasn't going to the clubs yet but I absolutely remember setting up in front of the TV set at 9:50pm and driving my parents crazy singing the theme song in my air guitar voice while telling the room how many minutes were left until it started. When it moved to 9pm I started taping it because I was (and am) a huge Dallas fan and my dad was too so I didn't even try sweet talking him out of taping that. But I watched the tape right afterward. That was the best decade ever to be alive!

[@ger.deservicoseprodutosdei9405]

In real life , you can't trust nobody.

[@andrewkim6037]

I still dream of that black daytona spyder.

[@rundns]

Dude took a a bullet for Sonny and he throws him under the bus over a moment of weakness. $30k a year just the medical costs for his son (also, why isn’t insurance covering??). That ain't right!

[@Deborahtunes]

It depends on what the medical procedures are. If it's pre-existing conditions, cancer treatments such as radiation, etc... Many times insurance won't cover them. My aunt found this out when her late husband came down with lung cancer. Their insurance wouldn't pay for his chemotherapy, which at the time was $75.00 a pop. So they had to pay it out of pocket. As for the situation between him and Sonny, it doesn't matter. He turned crooked, which could have gotten another cop killed. Regardless of his reasons, you don't take payoffs from the very people you're supposed to help put in prison...

[@jldog134]

Lower than low Sonny no doubt in conflicted here is a man who saved his life and that same man got his friend Eddie killed and nearly killed Tubbs

[@tuberx5121]

The information he gave to a murderous cartel allowed them to assassinate a cop. And it could have just as easily have been Crockett killed by the car bomb.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

In 2023 $$$ that might be around $70,000.00 🏦. Real 2020s era narcotics cops earn way way more ... OT, special details.

[@josearqco]

I have the full series on DVD, it's maybe the best TV show of all time!

[@michaelj.r457]

To think all this started with a cheesy request from NBC for a show with "MTV Cops." After this scene, I'm sure Michael Mann knew that Miami Vice would be on the air for a while.

[@bernardhayes4459]

‘They want information…’ Thats the same line in the series The Prisoner with Patrick McGoon

[@blautens]

Scottie was such a POS he had to time travel back to Chicago in the 60's and join Crime Story.

[@jasonfoley6502]

[@georgehenderson7783]

[@derekclay9314]

The guy was in desperate straights at the time with a family in. Severe need financially Realistically (reasonably The charitable (humane) thing to have done would have been to get his complete statement in these matters Sentence to house arrest for a years time (so as to reasonably insure that there would be time enough for the guy to get his personal affairs in order as concerns the long term well being of his family being squared away all reasonable like while keeping tabs on the guy to day on the regular like in thos regards(for the most part reasonably. After that period of time has passed then go through with further court proceedings as to his being held accountable for his actions ( in a reasonable as in humane fashion) BUT ONLY AFTER HIS FAMILIES WELL BEING HAS BEEN SEEN TO Thats all im saying As a family man his families wellbeing comes first above all else including the needs of the government law and court system That would the hunane approach anyways
