  • Whole new respect for this show.

  • I don't know why people say season 3 is the darkest, there's plenty of suicides and sad endings in the first 2 aswell

  • What a deep and emotional scene. I had a brother gunned down in 94` when he was 22.The last words he said to me was"I love you". One hour later he was murdered. The next day after work my wife told me what happened .....let`s just say Crockett`s reaction was my response emotionally.

  • Man! I was in Jr High when this came on! The next day me & my friend were acting like Crockett & Tubbs at school.

  • 1of the best series of all time.

  • Count Walker was the man!!!

  • This was the 80s.....thanks 4 sharing it

  • those 2 guys play da sht out of show.. should of made a movie with don and pilip

  • One of the saddest episodes.

  • @jkenney2 Yes, this one was hard core. Lots of dark "Vice" episodes, but this one was brutal.

  • i am Scottish and if any of you with your ridiculous attitude to life and your fellow human beings dare to come over to SCOTLAND you will get the Badness knocked right out of you.

    Scotland- Decency as stantard.

  • @Woozie52

    'stantard', you were half right.

    Tard more like.

  • still would not set foot in miami

  • One of the darker, more shocking endings of Miami VIce...fucking amazing show....

  • Still powerful tho. In spite of the comments.

  • football star my ass. . . .

  • Though the fashion from the gang kids is horribly dated, the storyline of this episode is pretty powerful and scary to think ordinary teenager become killers because they feel there's no other way to make it in the world. The snitching subtext is also something every street kid or crook vows to never do but in the end at some point they all do it and pay.

  • Only 7 dislikes! Hell I must be dreaming! :D

  • que estara pensando sonny en el minuto 3 28....sera acaso, sobre el extra de policia que luego de pisar el charco le deja empapado el zapato y parte del pantalon?......

  • who'd they get to put up that fack ass graffitti

  • este seriado,perfeito,precursor dos ke fazem sucesso hoje,o ator principal,era belissimo,a cançao lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,dá uma ,sensaçao de prazer,força,sensualidade,simp­ly red,demais.

  • Awesome

  • cool

    

  • de la balle!!!trop de bons souvenirs!!!!!et la musique!!!!!

  • Oh Man TV went down hill after this show left the airwaves......

  • hahaha at 3'06!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The old Miami Vice episodes are on Fancast.

    I wasn't much younger than Count Walker, when this episode aired. I guess being a 13 y.o brotha from NYC and growing up thru the crack epidemic, this episode resonated a bit. You had teens w/ 6-7 figure drug incomes. The other druglords on MV were adults. I dreamed about all the young honeys I could mack on, if I had my own stretch limo & chaffeur. Now that I'm 35 and see how cars & fashion has progressed, I say WOW. Still, Classic stuff man!

  • this 50-minutes episode beats most action films I've seen... they don't make neither music nor films like they did in the 80's

  • @DTMihai i agree with you. I dont like 3th season but i love this episode

  • Comment removed

  • If you look at the times now with the whole "no snitching" thing...........it was showing the conflict between doing what might seem "morally "right and the reality of the streets. Sonny originally tied to talk him out of it but the kid insisted on going through with it. And now Sonny is left to deal with the hurt of being in a no win situation as a LEO

  • COUNT WALKER!!!! notice how he snitched on his main man"HE DID IT HE DID IT!!!! LOL!!! This was my episode right here...and the ending was CLASSIC MIAMI VICE!!!

  • hope they come out wit tha set on blu ray

    

  • this just shows how great Vice was!!! Really miss shows like this....

  • Oh men I'm only 20 so I can remember it from when I was about 6, so i Didn't even watched it ''live'', but even i just get emotional seeing al this fragments. I was born to late, I just love this show, and its music!

  • A masterful and powerful use of a Simply Red classic!

  • Excellent show with a perfect soundtrack. Great episode and I love this song.

  • Beautiful music made even better by the context

  • I missed a lot of the episodes in the 80's..Either i was out in the street or fell asleep watching,after a long day at work..I bought the entire series a couple of years ago..Great stuff never to be duplicated..You gotta love the 80's!

  • Classic.

  • Charles Dutton!

  • I find it funny when Crockett say "teh hell with the news you never gonna get it"

    very nice vid

  • Miami Vice had only the best songs

  • Such a tough episode. Thanks for sharing this.

  • Awsome scene.......brings back meomeries....wish it was 1986 again

  • I loved this show, and still do. It started new trends in TV. Popular music in the episodes was their invention. They set fashion trends with their clothes. Everyone wanted to look like Don Johnson.

  • The scene (2:29) is shot at 11th St and Ocean Ct in Miami, Fl. The location has changed tremendously since this episode was shot back in the 1980s.

    I'm not sure where (3:15) is shot but probably nearby. The house at the end (3:39) is at 110 Oak Ave Miami, FL 33133

  • what did the guy say at 4:44? "he was a good....." ? i couldnt make sense of it.

    also, whyd he throw the kid's football out?

  • @jf1gd2 "he was a good collar, Crockett"

  • @ab1274 what does that mean?

  • @jf1gd2 in police talk a "collar" means an arrest or apprehension. So he was telling Sonny that he did a good job bringing them down

  • Kinda reminds me of Boyz in the Hood when Cuba Gooding Jr's best friend dies who was also a football player trying to get out of the ghetto. I can't believe how season three all of a sudden gets all depressing!!!

  • Didn't the fellow who gets shot later play on Tour of Duty?

  • Count Walker was the man!!!!!

  • NO SHOW EVER CAME CLOSE TO WHAT THIS SHOW WAS, AND FOR THAT MATTER STILL IS....GOT TO GET BACK TO 'PUBLIC ENEMIES'

  • Miami Vice was the show of the "80s decade there will never be another show like it .

  • many big movie and music stars started on this show. there's not a show since that's better. cocaine is a hellava drug.

  • This is ultra classic song, and miami vice is forever '' as we know it ''

  • Miami vice was the best because they used the greatest sound tracks in the shows. Modern songs 'at the time' that are still great songs today. This along with the acting and cool clothes, ferraris.. it was the best ever.

  • This one is predictible,and poorly written.You see it building up to the climax,and just gives it away.The football was a cheap plot device,it just tries to hard to tug at the heart strings,in trying to convey some bleak morality tale.Charles dutton as always hams it up,the gang leader is just as bad.''Milk run'' from season 1, is the better morality tale about kids getting in too deep with the drug culture.even though its not great(pretty good at best),it was still better than this episode.

  • Season 3 is my favourite Vice Season. Had very good Scripts

  • That 'I came to pay my respects' part was heartbreaking. Damn..

  • I saw this episode just this past week on the Centric channel,where they show reruns.The episode was one of the saddest,I did not want him to be shot and killed.The song caught my attention,I asked my older sister who the artist was.She said it might be Simply Red.Now I can be sure,thanks for posting!

  • i was just watchin this ep an i came in exactly where it started...wats the name of this song i like it...(if it even has a name) anyone know?

  • @Diamondgrl2007

    It is Picture Book,the band is Simply Red.Enjoy!

  • awesome. One of my favorite episodes.

  • Lets don' t disect it. Just let' s say DAMN. MV was one of the most important shows of the 70' s. Hell even the 80's and 90' s. Look at the style that they changed, the persona that they projected. It was all about the now. When history records the most important TV Show, MV will certainlly be in the top 5.

  • Comment removed

  • MIAMI VICE FOR EVER! THE BEST TV SHOW!

  • that kid is an actor i see around now... he's a lot older obviously... i don't know his name but i recognize him...

  • 0:23 this bloke looks a bit like late Bernie Mac.

  • Damn dude, that silver limo just had "2 niggas makin trouble fo one mo" written all over it, nigga shoulda watched his peeps YAHEARD?.

  • This was yet another part of the show where the music fit the mood of what was happening. MV was so good with the concept of creating the perfect marriage of music and events. This was one of the many reasons people loved this show and why it was so popular back in the day.

    I wish there was a remake in the works where the original cast could be profiled in such a way where they could be integrated into the show in a "years later" issue where they needed to regroup to for an old case . . .

  • @thebakerman1

    I so agree.

  • @thebakerman1

    Dude, you are SO right about Vice being able to set the mood of a scene w/ music. 80's TV and film in general did that well. Look at Scarface. I grew up with hip-hop culture, but many teens and even hardcore street dudes would listen to Phil Collins, Boy George, Eurythmics and other 80's pop, because of shows like Miami Vice. I read a bio of a 80's teen kingpin and he talked about going to a Phil Collins and loving it. Pop has gotten to hip-hop nowadays and I grew up on it.

  • Notice how the police leaving the scene nearly splashes water on Crocket??

  • Easily the best ending to any Vice episode. Chilling!

  • I still watch the seasons on dvd on a regular basis. Very few shows come on TV that you can watch over and over and over... Miami Vice was one of those few.

    If only they would have stuck to the formula they used in season one and two, I believe the show could easily have went 9 or 10 seasons.

  • How great this series was! I rember this epsiode very well. This series was made by people who knew how to convey feelings, even through the music. Hard to find these days! Don Johnson and PM Thomas in one of their best roles. Sorry to say - but the remake was not like this...!

  • Patrol cars move! Hands up! :X

  • Perfection!!!

  • Why did they took that kid away and shot him! What episode is this.

  • I saw this episode when it first aired, and this scene has stuck in my mind ever since.  I'm pleasantly surprised that someone else thought enough of this episode to post this. Thanks.

  • @betadazeahed Ditto...sorta. The song haunted me since seeing this when it first aired. Too much to get into but I thought I'd NEVER find this ep. let alone the song yet I finally found it yesterday after all these years. This song just fit the emotion of this scene so well. Haunting, eerie, sad, and all that. Funny how I thought a woman sung it all this time and it was, simply, Simply Red. Lol

  • Great episode, but certainly not the best of the series. Many many many others that I hold in higher regard. Execatty is right... Red Tape is one of them.

  • loved the 80s they were good times about havin fun and feelin good great show miami vice don and philip were awsome

  • El coche fantastico(Kitt)0´33min!!!!!

  • Knightrider at 0:34

  • holy cow!

  • Comment removed

  • That is an approximate 1984 or 1985 Corvette actually.

  • My favorite artist together with my favorite series, priceless.

  • WOW, I was looking for this episode. GREAT ONE ,SEEING Sonny reaction after the kid died, priceless. As a young kid I just felt that pain and tears to my eyes. Great song by Simply Red. This ep and the one when Zito was killed still are my favorites.Bless ppl!

  • A Very Sad Ending To A Good Episode

  • i agree about the song being great but my favourite episode of season 3 was "when irish eyes are crying".this episode was full of emotion.another memorable episode was from the last season "fruit of the poison tree" i beleive was the title.of course there were so many good episodes and it would be hard to pick a favourite

  • ok great song great episode, but check out red tape episode, better episode and better final song...both amazing ...

  • Hey, thats around the corner from the hotel in Vice City!!!

  • @NepperCat i was just thinking that!

  • Yeah I agree best episode of Season 3.

  • I love this song and MIami Vice a great episode.

  • my 12 year old loves this show!

  • One of te best episodes of miami vice!

    It is still great to watch!

  • @eskram not one of the best to me...it was "ok"...a little contrived imo

  • I would have liked to see his terrifying woardrobe,,,must be NISE!!!!!

  • Me and mom laugh so hard every time we watch this

  • Miami Vice was my favorite TV show back in the day. I eagerly awaited for every new episode and hated when it the final ep ended. I loved the 80's anyway, and since I live in south FL that made it so much better. I tried out as an extra in the 3rd season but so did everyone in south FL at the time so I wasn't picked . . . damn it!

    I own the full boxed set and still enjoy them. There were only a few duds out of all 5 seasons, but funny how even the duds seem great now :)

  • @thebakerman1 It was a great show.

  • @thebakerman1 well said!! I bought all the dvd's because TV is so boring nowadays except for Hell's Kitchen and America's Most Wanted! I really miss the 80's and Florida every time I watch MV!!

  • @thebakerman1

    from what episode from "Miami Vice?"

  • @thefirefighter2011 I couldn't even say. It's been way too long for me to remember which episode it would have been for. I sure wished I could have done it though :)

  • @thebakerman1 we all have good taste if we love miami vice

  • this is just the perfect video for the perfect music!

    absolutley moving..

  • The sound of a Testarossa`s engine is uncomparable! :X

  • it`s not everything in being fast!

  • fast enough

    real 80s style

  • great song - great movie

  • I always thought John Spencer was older than what he was. Only 59 when he died. In his late thirties in this episode. He just looked older, I guess.

  • i just read somewhere he was the same age as Sylvester Stallone. think how much younger stallone looked in the 80s than this guy. that stuff is magnified in Hollywood but it happens all the time to normal guys—im only 26 & I know guys I graduated with who are graying or almost bald.

  • Yes, The Good Collar was the name of the episode. I guess the song in the background is a Simply Red song.

  • The song playing in the background is "Picture Book" by Simply Red.

  • Ok the bst music

  • lol Simply Red is not refering to the title of the episode but to the singer singing the song in the background called Picture Book.

  • 03:27 - the bastard police splashed sonny's trousers. lol.

  • Comment removed

  • i have never seen this episode, it looks like a great episode i am getting the complete box set next week, can't wait, miami vice is class, even though i am only 25 and never grow up in the eighties i love it. I love the style and music in miami vice its so cool.

  • Me too, 21 and it's one of the greatest tv shows ever

  • I'm 22, currently half way through the second series at the mo X]

  • Cool to see it's made it to a new generation that can really appreciate what this show did for tv, music , style and everything else it helped influence... My boys and I were always planted in front of the TV Friday nights @10 guaranteed back in the 80s...Damn I'm gettin' old...lol!

  • I'm twenty years old and i love this series. One of my favs, i have bought the complete box set because its not worth missing.

  • great songs from simply red...miami soundmachine.....glenn frey etc....only unforgetten great great songs..80ér the best:-)

  • This is one of my favorite episodes

  • I refuse to watch the movie-version. I already know there is no comparison. The show was like watching a movie.

  • This was one of the saddest episodes on Miami Vice...Sonny didn't make it as a NFL Player, but this kid had a REAL chance...Sonny put all his hopes and dreams on the kid ..only to have him get gunned down (Which is WHY he freaked out so bad when the kid died). Good episode...very hard to watch though....

  • This was 1 of the most shocking and powerful episodes of Miami Vice, which I love. The part where Don Johnson goes nuts in the limo after the kid dies is the best acting I ever saw Don Johnson do and it is gripping. This episode marked a dramatic shift in the Crockett character as it became darker and more serious, which just made the show even better. All through Vietnam and being a cop, Sonny had his college football memories, but this episode stole those from him, so he dumps his football.

  • @smoothpoppa2007 Miami Vice had what few shows (if any) have now that made it unique. The fact that no body wins. Even when the good guys do save the day, there's always a price someone always has to pay. Most shows now have a line drawn between good guys and bad guys, light and dark. In MV, it was always a shade of grey... or always dark, leaving people to fish out their own piece of light... but always at a cost. No one wins in miami - not even the good guys when they DO save the day.

  • @smoothpoppa2007 Ditto .I remember watching this episode back in the day . It blew me away. This was heavy stuff back then . Cheers!

  • @smoothpoppa2007 It reminds me of an episode of "The Shield" when Vic Mackey almost got this one gangbanger to go straight, a kid who was a talented writer and wanted out of the game. Right near the end of the episode the kid gets murdered and Vic's reaction in the ER when he finds out that the kid didn't make it was very moving. He even talks to his recently murdered cop friend Lem in absentia as he is grieving. VERY emotional scene. The Shield can't touch Miami Vice but what a great show.

  • @smoothpoppa2007 sad because they had wired cell phones

  • @smoothpoppa2007

    You know what I would be interested in finding out? Where exactly some of these scenes were filmed...down to the street corners...wouldn't that be wonderful...find one and close your eyes...transport back to 1986

  • @1912berg Thats just what i was thinking, i would love to do that. Cheers

  • @smoothpoppa2007 THAT S RIGHT IT WAS THE MOST SADDEST EPISODE IN THIS TV SERIES...

    I REMEMBER THEM WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID EVEN I CRY...

  • i love Simply Red... I love All Mick!!

  • I just watch this episode yesterday. Miami Vice, one of the greatest tv-shows ever. And the song is just so perfect.

  • swietny film, ach co za muzyka,byly tu najlepsze kawalki nostalgia....

  • This episode of Miami Vice ('The Good Collar') is available on DVD ("Miami vice season 3")

  • I love Simply Red...

    :D

  • You CAN find this song on I-Tunes, I just typed in Picturebook.

  • Brilliant sequence. Miami Vice truly deserves its legendary status. It is still better than most of the shows on TV today.

  • One of the best songs on Miami Vice! 5/5

  • I remember, I was searching for this episode for so long and never knew the name of the episode. This was an excellent one. Thanks for posting.

  • The more I watch this scene,the more I love it. The music is perfect for the scene. Why does network TV suck so bad,now?

  • CSI: Miami isn't so bad. The Office is brilliant. The rest of the great shows, though, are on cable. Remember,  MV had its share of really bad episodes. Thankfully, this is not one of them.

  • Best made for tv prime time EVER!!!

    Never be another Miami Vice-Johnson & Thomas had a 'chemistry'!!!

  • @nssteve1979 I never thought that Johnson and Thomas had chemistry, but then again, I only watched the first season. The chemistry between Glaser and Soul of Starsky and Hutch was unbeatable though.

  • Why everything in these days are so...How to say it...Trash, rubish...!??

    Cars, movies, all things in this days are TRASH...

    The 80`s were the best!!!!

  • Last night I watched the episode with Ed O'Neill and thought the same - mobile phones for instance were huge,hairstyles were funny :) but then again 80s music was the best ever and people seemed more relaxed.

  • The Great Macarthy & Junk Love is the good ones for me. The best would be The return of Calderone. Guess because of the boats.

  • This song was written in the late 60's or early 70's. Need to find the original version.

  • OMG. Please tag this as "The Good Collar" from Season 3 of Miami Vice. I have been looking for this song forever and finally found it by renting the MV dvd and using Shazam on my iphone.

  • an underrated song by simply red right here

  • now a day even the shit you watch on Direct TV is not even near as good as M.V and the funny thing is they don't event know it.

  • Patrol Cars move! Hands up!!!!

    Love this show

  • Arguably the Best television series of all time. There will NEVER be another Miami Vice, ever.

  • cuz thats actually crockets college football he gave to him.

  • this is what i like about miami vice fuck the movie adaption. The clothes, music, style everything.

  • The best cop show ever. So real and stylish.I`ve been renting each series from the library and it just gives me a great appreciation for this show.The music,the clothes, the pastel colors, the drama, and teh characters are great.

  • great series!!! For me the movie didnt do it like this series... but thats just personal i guess...

  • Excellent performance by Mr Johnson

  • The music fits this scene so very well...

  • That is pure Vice Baby

  • awesome

  • Have Picture Book, there is also another Simply Red Miami Vice track on it from episode Viking Bikers From Hell.

  • That's Heaven.

  • This episode represents the APEX of Miami Vice. The perfect combination of style and substance, where music, fashion, drama, and incredible acting all come together to make a transcendent television experience. While Season 4 and 5 were passable, nothing would ever top the drama, impact, and incredible writing of Season 3. Miami Vice forever!

  • I agree,Castillo & Burnett/Crocket are GREAT acters.I'm looking now season 4 & got 5 in stock.
