Miami Vice: Out Where the Buses Don't Run (1985)
Season 2, Episode 3
7/10
Decent "Vice" episode
12 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
After a couple of great episodes I thought this one was a bit weaker... I'm not saying it's bad though it still has plenty of action and a good story, I just wasn't too keen on the over the top "insane" ex-cop who turned up offering to help Crockett and Tubbs arrest Arcaro, a senior drug dealer who had been considered dead for many years.

Bruce McGill plays Hank Weldon, a retired vice cop who was considered one of the best when he was on the force but now appears to be insane claiming that he knows where Arcaro is. While they are initially sceptical he provides information about a hit on a drug dealer and about an major offshore drugs transaction which turns out to to be accurate in both cases.

As others have said the story has a good and suitably downbeat ending which came as a bit of a surprise for me. As with most Miami Vice episodes the music is great, the highlight this time being Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" which plays as Crockett drives to the final scene.
