Plot: Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Tubbs (Taye Diggs) are impatiently waiting for a meet with a man named Tomas who supposedly ripped off a shipment of cocaine from a couple major smugglers. Tomas (Jimmy Jean-Louis) finally shows up and opens up a suitcase full of cocaine. Suddenly a voice commands everyone to freeze, then a man (Anthony Anderson) wearing a shirt with a M written on the front jumps out of the shadows. He announces that his name is Captain Miami and he is on a mission to rid Miami of drugs. He then tackles Tomas. Crockett and Tubbs arrest Tomas, but th so-called Captain Miami gets away.
Back at OCB, Tubbs interrogates Tomas, hoping that Tomas is ready to roll on the smugglers he stole from. An APB is put out on "Captain Miami" even though Crockett is embarrassed to make such a request. Crockett and Tubbs are called in for a meeting with Lt. Castillo (Andy Garcia), who introduces them to Miami-Dade Police Commissioner Hank Wallace (Lance Reddick). Wallace requests that a reporter be able to follow the Vice squad around to record a day in the life of a Miami Vice cop. Crockett and Tubbs object to the idea, but Wallace tells them that he was merely asking to appear courteous. The reporter will be tagging along with them whether they like it or not.
Tomas, who was out on bail after stone-walling Tubbs, turns up dead. When Crockett and Tubbs leave the crime scene, they see Captain Miami yelling at a crowd of people about the drug problems, asking others to join him on his mission to rid Miami of drugs. Most people simply laugh at his antics. Crockett chases Captain Miami off, telling him if he sees him and his stupid shirt again that he'll put him behind bars. Tubbs receives a phone call and tells Crockett that he just received word that they have a buy set up with the smugglers Tomas robbed. Crockett is excited since he's sure the smugglers must be the ones who had Tomas killed.
Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps) is running a scam on some Japanese tourists on the beach when Captain Miami shows up and reveals himself as Lamont's cousin Marcus, who tells him about his run-in with the Vice squad. Lamont tells Marcus to be careful, as he isn't sure who is scarier, the drug dealers or an angry Sonny Crockett. Back at OCB, the Vice squad is introduced to the reporter, Eric Terrio (Kyle Bornheimer). Terrio excitedly talks about getting Captain Miami's message on the next episode of his news show. Crockett and Tubbs, along with Terrio, are running surveillance on the smugglers when Captain Miami shows up once again. Terrio points his camera at Captain Miami as Crockett arrests the vigilante.
Back at OCB, Crockett and Tubbs interrogate Marcus. Terrio asks if he can record the interrogation, but Castillo keeps him out of the room. After the interrogation, Terrio interviews Captain Miami for his show. After they release him, Marcus dress back up as Captain Miami and almost immediately finds a minor drug deal to break up. Marcus beats up the drug dealer and throws the money to a nearby crowd of people, who happily fight over the flying bills. Later that day, while Marcus is walking down the street in his costume, he narrowly avoids being shot in a drive-by shooting.
Lamont is on the beach selling Captain Miami shirts he had made up when Crockett and Tubbs show up and ask Lamont to convince Marcus to let them take him into protective custody. Lamont goes to see his cousin and convinces him to come into OCB for his own protection. Marcus is taken into protective custody while Crockett and Tubbs head to their meet with the smugglers. While talking with Gina (Katrina Law), Marcus reveals that he began his crusade against drugs after his daughter died of an overdose.
At the meet, the smugglers want Crockett and Tubbs to kill the Captain Miami character in order to prove themselves. After the meeting, Crockett and Tubbs head to the hotel that Marcus was stashed at. They find him gone and Gina locked in the bathroom. Crockett and Tubbs track down Lamont and demand to know where Marcus could be, but he doesn't know. Gina has the idea to head to the place where Marcus' daughter died. They arrive to find Marcus crying outside of an abandoned house. They bring Marcus to a hospital where he is put under psychiatric evaluation. The smugglers call Tubbs and tell him that they are ready to deal now that Captain Miami is at least locked up.
Lamont sneaks into the hospital dressed as a doctor and breaks Marcus out. The two meet up with Terrio who wants to follow Captain Miami as he goes to thwart the drug deal. Terrio reveals a brand new costume he had made for Marcus. Captain Miami arrives to break up the drug deal. The smugglers fire on him, and Crockett and Tubbs fire on the smugglers. In the end, the smugglers and Marcus are all killed. Terrio is shocked by witnessing such death in person. He then mentions the ratings his show will get. Crockett then knocks him out. Tubbs consoles Lamont over the loss of his cousin.
