[@dciccantelli]

If Sean had acquired his very particular set of skills, he'd probably be alive....

[@danielsnow1940]

Maybe he would have became a Jedi Master as well.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Fuck you taking about? Guy was a PRO, you dick! They (VICE) got the drop on him because of the gun dealer (Walter Gotell).

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

dark man ! and batman begins !

[@foosaturf]

In time he will & it will go like something this.... I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you... I will find you... and I will kill you. don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money.

Now that is what i call a Moron.

[@danielsnow1940]

Quite possibly the best episode of Vice.

[@GothamKnight84661]

One of the best, If not one of the most underrated episodes of the series.

[@mrs.herculepoirot7763]

The best!

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

I love it too so much, I am so sick of hearing the only two good seasons of vice are 1 and 2. There are so many good episodes in season 3 and 4. This episode is so heartfelt and intense

[@cmliphone]

Around the 45 second mark you see Sean realize he has to kill Gina. Liam Neeson is such a good actor. He looks away uncertainly and then when she says "move away from it..." again you see him take a deep breath and decide.

[@dth2brny121]

Liam got TAKEN out in the most stylish, 80's way possible. No SPECIAL SKILLS could save him here 😁 One of my favorite all-time scenes though.

[@thepowerstation2702]

One the best Miami Vice endings. I ♥ everything about it, including the brutalist architecture. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁

[@Joey0353]

Tubbs hoped GIna would cry on his chest at least once (1:34). The legend says he still hopes today.

[@arkantos2227]

Lmao. Poor Tubbs.

[@solonfuller7478]

If he was only there faster. She could have cried on his chest and he could have taken it to heart and married her.

[@GothamKnight84661]

He's not that lucky tho.

[@solonfuller7478]

Only in make believe land, and if sunny wasn't there.

[@tinasuarez61]

Great Episode👍. Sonny was there to console Gina😍.

[@desertrose1226]

Always wished Sonny would end up with Gina.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

They're on and off again lovers.

[@isabellelarose5782]

This one is so sad,so sad cant stop crying when i Watching it.

[@rater1951]

@OnceThusFar The song is Last Unbroken Heart by Patti Labelle and Bill Chaplin. Great tune!

[@wandahayes5333]

THAT MADE ME CRY 😢

[@phylliscrumpler7094]

I thought shawn was so cute, I remember watching this when I was in high school 1987.

[@isabellelarose5782]

That is so good, wow, the best show ever .

[@fab4rockable]

Probably the saddest ending to a Vice episode. Though the ending of Down For the Count Pt. 1 is very sad as well.

[@figment1988]

and the place Sean landed on (the two way mark on the ground) was quite symbolic. On one side, it represented the love he had for Gina, but on the other arrow, it represented his loyalty to the IRA and his intentions to bring The Troubles in Ireland to American soil by blowing up the Concorde which was averted.

[@TheRealKiDJ]

I thought the ending to "Baby Blues" was incredibly depressing

[@catmansma]

I cried at both of these endings...I avoid watching them again usually. Also the ending in season 4 when Crockett kills Hackman. I don't know why but when the music starts up...I lose it. I don't know why.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Sad endings? EVAN. THE GOOD COLLAR. WORLD OF TROUBLE. MIRACLE MAN. To name a few...

[@geekane9462]

The music they choose becomes a third character and brings the emotions to these sad endings. Here with “The Last Unbroken Heart”, The Good Collar’s “Picture Book”, By Hooker By Crook’s “Holding Back the Years” and Heart of Night’s “Dark Truths” to name a few

[@geoleo2597]

Only MV can have a beautiful love song mirror a tragedy of a killing. One of the most romantic love songs on the MV song list. This one should have been on the radio hit list but I never heard it, only on this episode.

[@elgatoremendado1115]

If I born again… I will ask to be in the 80’s again

[@retrozone6043]

Me too! ❤

[@peter455sd]

Not just you brother

[@seanfree3821]

Don't look for a happy ending. It's not an American story. It's an Irish one. Not your war Gina.

[@mrs.herculepoirot7763]

Because we always know that someday, the world will break our hearts.

[@arkantos2227]

Most of Miami Vice episodes till this point ended tragically.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

MIAMI VICE wasn't a happy go lucky show. It was a hip police procedural. Check out the slate of writers sometime...

[@cgh7337]

Leave poor Liam alone!

[@ElectricAngel181]

It's Not Your war Gina , It's Not your war.

[@raulbarnett7092]

Simply Sad ending to this episode, heartbreaking for Gina.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Go watch HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION. She shoots the bastard who killed her mom in Cuba!

[@eggboi8475]

You could tell the show new he wasn’t a bad guy, just a man pushed to his limits

[@anthonyarguien7785]

HE WAS A FUCKING TERRORIST!!! Not a bad guy? HE WAS GONNA KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON THE CONCORDE!!!! What the fuck is wrong with you?

[@figment1988]

And if you look at where Caroon landed after falling off the roof, you'll notice that it's a two-way sign, which is in a way, symbolic with one arrow representing Sean's love for Gina, and the other one representing his loyalty to his cause despite its malignant objectives.

[@stephenkissane4268]

He was gonna kill alot of people

[@tworthington27]

Damn, Sonny and Gina killed Qui-Gon!

[@Arbeedubya]

And Oskar Schindler

[@anthonyarguien7785]

LMAO!

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Guess THE FORCE wasn't with him, huh?

[@DanielSnow316]

Not your war Obi-Wan, not your war.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Saundra Santaigo killed it!

[@LogoMan7777]

And Sean, too.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

@@LogoMan7777 That was Liam Neeson my friend!

[@MY-wo9yb]

Omg the song that is playing is THE LAST UNBROKEN HEART and it is THE SAME SONG when they had their first date

[@LogoMan7777]

Not just their first date... the first time they made love....

[@nvkulk]

Have a nice flight

[@llildrzpyllil5835]

The americanswill never understand the true love we have for our country🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

The saddest ending to me is "Milk Run." Crockett is absolutely overcome with grief for losing Eddie, who he seemed to take on like an inncoent son and who he promised would make it home safe.

[@figment1988]

And that episode would mark the first time in which we would see a trope which is exclusive for Crockett, and which he takes the deaths of young people he's trying to help as very severe failures which he takes very personal (i.e. When Archie died in Good Collar, which drove Sonny into having that fit of rage and frustration in the limo)

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

​@figment1988 Also on a later viewing of the series, Eddie was the name of his partner in Brother's Keeper who got killed played by Lou Diamond Phillips

[@desertrose1226]

I 💜 Sonny Crockett! He looks like Nathan Drake when he has short dark hair like here!!!

[@joefaccio7580]

He’s Irish, he’s done plenty already

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

I'm going to be meeting Saundra Santiago in September, and the first thing I am saying to her is "Gina, cmon! Sean, SEAN!"

[@anthonyarguien7785]

It's not your war, Gina. BANG! BANG! BANG! Bloody Hell, you can't shoot me. I'm Liam Nesson for fuck's sake!

[@TonyPoindexter]

Good friend Tony 😊

[@joefaccio7580]

Gina, it’s me, Soy sauce hair dye

[@StephenHastingsNewBodhum]

He talks about how he lost two brother earlier in the episode, like he was prepared to die. It's a sad commentary on how when ypur loved ones die sometimes you give up too. I lost my twin brother to pancreaic cancer last year, and I kind of understand when Liam says "well when it's time, it's time," and then has to check himself. He's kind of ready to go the whole time.

[@shapiroshekelberg604]

Then Sonny inherited the Testarossa.

[@grigorirasputin5020]

Wow! The audio and video is terribly out of sync at the moment.

[@annikadoe8117]

Why does he say “Sean! Sean!” I don’t understand that part

[@johndawhale3197]

lol I think he says it to try and get her to calm down...I guess it's kinda like he's saying "It's me Sean, I'm not your enemy I'm your friend remember?"

[@cameronking3551]

Ha ha I always thought that part was funny.He was trying to get Gina out of her trance and back on his side.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Gina fell in love with the reformed "Sean" but alas Liam could not stop being a terrorist for the IRA. He chose Politics over Love and that was fatal for him.

[@vsanchez7158]

Gina didn’t even drop her purse 😂

[@Tamsyn12003]

For many of this, this episode was too similar to one of the most famous Hawaii Five O episodes, released maybe a decade earlier, to impress us. Highly similar to the Stephen Boyd episode that opened either season 10 or 11 and was highly publicized because Boyd died unexpectedly soon after shooting it.

[@RipReturns]

Sean Bean's not dying in this scene...oh wait, he did. Was this the start of this meme?

[@Paul-zs7rd]

Talk about a symmetrical landing.........must be his particular set of skills

[@Lord-Farquaad]

Taken too soon

[@kingwinter2024]

"Gina...c'mon -- Sean, Sean!!"

[@kimli2206]

Hi, does anyone knows the name of the background song? Thanks.

Amazing how Liam Neeson is having a great career, when his big break he is doing an occult ritual, when he dies

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Well this was 6 years before he made it BIG with SCHINDLER'S LIST!

[@Smudgeroon74]

Neeson was making a name for himself with "Dark Man" in 1990.

She was so upset about shooting him but he was about to kill her

[@ZapgermsNow]

She couldn’t forget that she thought he would be THE one. She loved him, and it broke her heart to realize he had been using her-but she would never have let him kill Sonny if she could possibly prevent it.
