Plot: Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) are conducting surveillance on an arms dealer named Guzman (Esai Morales), who is holding a demonstration of a new submachine gun for prospective buyers. His associate Evan Freed (Freddie Prinze Jr.) displays the effectiveness of the gun by firing on a mannequinn, shredding it to pieces with a barrage of bullets from the submachine gun. Crockett and Tubbs then move in and order Guzman and Freed to surrender. Guzman and the buyers fire on the Vice squad. Crockett and Tubbs kill the buyers, but Freed and Guzman get into a truck and ram their way through a barricade of police cars and escape.
Lt. Castillo (Andy Garcia) arrives at the scene and is told that the submachine guns were loaded with armor-piercing bullets. They call in some info on the bullets and find out the address of the seller. Crockett and Tubbs head over to the house and find it cleaned out. Tubbs finds it suspicious since it doesn't look like it was done by crooks, but it was done rather professionally as if it was performed by the Feds. Crockett, posing as Sonny Burnett, his criminal alter-ego, goes to see a Neo-Nazi arms dealer, Kern (Thomas M. Wright), that he worked with years ago to see if he can get a line on Guzman's location. Kern arranges a meeting with Guzman about a shipment of the submachine guns. Crockett and Tubbs, posing as Burnett and his business partner Rico Cooper, try to work out a dealer with Guzman when Freed arrives and raises the price of the weapons. Crockett asks Guzman for a bit of time to make a decision. After they leave, Crockett reveals to Tubbs that Freed is a cop.
At OCB, ATF Agent Wilson (Michael Rispoli) demands the Vice squad back off on the their investigation due to the huge investment the ATF has made in getting Freed close to Guzman. Castillo is euqllay insistent that the submachine guns never reach the street. Wilson and Castillo begin arguing. Wilson finally agrees to let Vice's deal for the guns to go through to get the guns away from Guzman, but their involvement has to end there. Crockett asks to be taken off of the case, but Castillo refuses. Tubbs asks Crockett about Freed, but Crockett doesn't want to talk about it. Tubbs then asks Gina (Katrina Law) to pull up whatever information she can find on Freed.
Meanwhile, Guzman tells Freed that he wants to do business with Burnett and Cooper, but Freed is reluctant, but doesn't explain why. Freed goes to see Crockett on his boat. Crockett orders Freed off of his boat. Freed pulls out a gun and points it at Crockett. He then takes a bullet out of the gun and says it has Crockett's name on it. Gina tells Tubbs that Freed, Crockett and another officer, Orville, used to work together in Vice until Orville was killed while working a case. After that Freed began volunteering for every dangerous job on the books. In Crockett's car, Tubbs asks Crockett about Orville, and Crockett slams on the brakes. He is angry that Tubbs looked into Freed behind his back. Tubbs says he wouldn't have to if Crockett would talk to him like a man. Crockett says they're not friends, just partners.
Tubbs is at a nightclub dancing with a beautiful woman when Crockett comes by an asks to speak with him. Tubbs, still mad from their interaction in the car, blows Crockett off and keeps dancing with the woman. Crockett then leaves the club. Tubbs decides to go after him. They go for a drive and stop at a gas station. Crockett tells Tubbs that years eariler, a man high on PCP was waving a gun around at the gas station. Orville went in to stop him and was shot dead. The department considered it to simply be a tragic death in the line of duty, but Crockett believes Orville went in as a form of suicide. Crockett sheds a tear and describes how he, Freed and Orville had all graduated from the police academy together and eventually all worked together as a Vice unit. On one assignment they were tasked with tackling drugs at some local gay clubs. Orville requested to be taken off the case, leading Freed and Crockett to joke that it was because someone at the gay clubs might recognize him. Orville later told Crockett and Freed that was really the reason, because he was gay. Crockett didn't care, but Freed became angry with Orville and transferred out of the unit. Orville soon became depressed that one of his best friends wanted nothing to do with him and went into that gas station to die. Tubbs assures Crockett that he didn't do anything wrong.
A very drunk Freed arrives at OCB the next morning, and Crockett drags him into the conference room. Freed tells Crockett that he feels guilty for Orville's death and gets down on his knees and begs Crockett to forgive him for turning on Orville. Crockett gives Freed a hug. Freed then tells Crockett and Tubbs that the meet with Guzman is that night at midnight at the shipyard. The meet goes down, but Switek (Brad William Henke), Zito (Troy Garity), Gina and Trudy (Megalyn Echikunwoke) raid the deal disguised as patrol officers. They confiscate the guns and money. Crockett and Tubbs start walking away, vowing to get their lost money back. Guzman pulls a gun and aims for them. Freed throws himself in front of the gun and is mortally wounded. Crockett and Tubbs then shoot and kill Guzman. Crockett rushes to Freed's side. Crockett forgives Freed, telling him that Orville made his own decision that night. Orville dies in Crockett's arms.

As with many cop shows on air, the lack of long term storyline hurts Miami Vice. I get the feeling that they are unbeatable and I know that will always come out on top, which takes the fun out of it for me
Stylish, fast-paced and over the top, Miami Vice offers what other cop show aren't able to offer on a weekly basis; entertainment
