Upgrade this series to 4K and nothing even remotely comes close to it today. Michael Mann was way ahead of his time with this gem.
I wish I could find it in 4K/remastered. The DVDs I have are of horrible quality.
Facts.
They got a box set blue ray. I bought the thing watched em all. Memories..... just a cell in a car...Cash in bags. No cameras. Great time to be alive. I'm 52. 80s !!!!
It's perfect television
... 36 years later, and though I've seen it countless times, that ending still gives me goosebumps ... you understand?

@@harlem4653 brilliant
Maybe the greatest tv scene of all time. Top 10 easy
@@leemutart ... no doubt.
Yup, I was 11, best show on Friday Night in 80's👏👍
Maybe the greatest ending in television history. Dire straits brothers in arms playing while cruising down Miami streets at night In a Ferrari kit car looking for Tony Arcaro.... priceless
al jude
This episode with the greatest living musician in Mark Knopfler and Miami Vice by Michael Mann simply #1 Tv episode by far!!!! No one will ever top this episode!!! The pinnacle of of all tv episodes!!!!!!!!
You knew... "Yeah I helped him build the wall.." that is Love People... Raised On Vice .. Stay strong everyone 2020
@@coyivey2496 It is very nice.. Your taste is appreciated ..Evan episode Peter Gabriel , rivals it love them both
The only thing that detracted from this was the cut to the theme music. They should have played out on Brothers in Arms
Tony "not this time " Arcaro
During it's height, this show was better than most movies being released at the same time!
It is still better than most million dollar movies of today. That show... The editing... Soundtrack... And yes the acting. Take castillo... Most epic badass. Man i miss those days
And even today!
Big Sonny ... facts. Like most shows in the 80s, they had substance.
@Marcus. You're right. This tv series was too cool for school in its first two seasons. It was like watching an actual epic movie every Friday night at 10pm till around 10:55. Even the timing schedule was SHADE at that time.
Young Sheldon and The Masked Singer blow this tired, old ass show out of the water!!!
They matched the song and the scene so well it’s like magic.
The editors for this show were fantastic.
That was the totalitarian of the show ..:
Arguably one of the best episodes of the whole series. Certainly in my top five.
it seemed stretched for the whole time, but this scene tied it together so well
You can put "Evan" up there on top.
Whatever works is my favorite. It featured The Power Station, The Blasters, awesome Bren Ten footage, etc
the one where crocket and tubbs are driving to in the air tonight after the betrayal was great@@GoldSeals
This, Evan, Bushido are all powerful and probably equal as far as top billing. There are other great episodes but these 3 are at a higher level.
This ending was so heartbreaking. Throughout the episode, you knew Hank was off the deep end, but how this culminated made you realize just how deep into madness he had gone. When he says " funny, he's just a tired,old man. Guess he's kinda relieved it's over." You come to realize he was probably talking about himself. Heart wrenching ending.
My g/f and I used to watch this episode together all the time. She said she got chills the first time she heard this song and watched Weldon break the wall down. She sadly passed in 2017. I hear this know and my throat tightens and my eyes water...
it's a deeply emotional, even spiritual song....beautiful
So sorry for your loss..
Man, that’s rough...I’m so sorry for your loss, pal.
I'm sorry...when you miss her... Look inside your heart she'll always be there.
So sorry man...
My mom loved this show and she really loved Dire Straits. Went back to my parents house for the first time after she passed and started streaming old episodes. This episode, the last scene, I just lost my shit. I really miss my mom. It’s been 6 years now but this still nails me in the feels every time.
thats heavy no words can capture the loss-when im there its like im in a different time/back in 1985 era didnt realize back then
It's the memories Brother🙏, the great memories, that helps keep pushing us forward in life that we were lucky to have🙏
The music they used in the scenes was spot on to capture the mood .
There are no TV shows today of this caliber.
The roar of Crockett's Daytona transitioning into the majestic sound of Mark Knopfler's guitar is pure heaven.
That Ferrari Daytona was a cool car, but the Daytona used in the series was actually a replica that ran on a Corvette platform. He did get a real one later though.
Except that, it’s not a Daytona, it’s a kit car..
Ferrari gave them a testarossa, so they stop driving that piece of shit
@@redstickham6394 only in the beginning, then Ferrari provided them a real one. The replica blew up in the show, after that it’s the real one.
@@chriscarol4965 After that it was a real one ... but a Testarossa.
@@redstickham6394 Haha yes Enzo objected to them using a replica and gave them the white Testarossa.
The word play in this scene is superb. When Hank says "he's a tired old man and relieved it's over".. He is of course referring to himself. Such a great series and time in TV
fantastic point
Also Sonny answers 'yeah' when asked 'He was my _partner,_ you understand?" Because I think he would do something similar for Tubbs if he had to.
@@Alvan81 Exactly. They both would.
@@Alvan81 The subtle nature of that reply tells volumes. Of course he would of done the same thing as Tubbs would of done for him.
@@LizzieSparrow2 👍
I lived in Miami in the late 80’s. Every Friday night we would all gather around the tv and watch Miami Vice. I remember this scene vividly. I loved “Brothers in Arms “. I used to listen to it over and over!
now that had to be the coolest thing,a tv set and filmed in your area ,,did you visit filming locations back then ? down there its different now but still you get a sense of the show
inever got it till decades later but this show is cool
There’s a reason why so many have never forgotten this after nearly 39 years. Perfect pairing of cinematography and music. Bruce McGill’s portrayal of Hank in this episode was a hypnotic slow burn from his first scene until it all just boiled over in such an understated way in the last scene. Great episode. Great TV.
"Out where the buses don't run." THE best episode of Miami Vice.
I always thought so too.
Almost no action in this episode. All drama but there was always action on MV so you were always expecting a big shoot out at the end. Instead you got this which made it even more powerful.
LostDutchman exactly.
The hitman shootout at the ocean club, and the boat / house-on-pillars scene, fulfilled the obligatory shootout/action requirement but only to lead up to this chilling conclusion.
Exactly
It started out so light hearted, almost comedic.....turning into the deepest darkest most shocking ending ever....Hank Weldon wasn’t crazy, like he said “ he’s just a tired old man “ referring to himself......Brothers in Arms provided the most climatic ending in the history of TV.....we all are so lucky to have witnessed this masterpiece......
I was 16 when I saw this episode, a legal immigrant from Romania since Nov 1982. We couldn’t afford much so my brother and I stayed up for hours and recorded the song on cassette straight from the TV. Played that cassette over and over. This was my favorite episode by far and Brothers in Arms made it so.
I can see why now that I learn the history i didn't know then but us Americans got alot to be thankful about we better wake up and understand what is going on in our government seriously!!!
" He's just a tired old man, guess he's kind of relieved it's over". He's talking about himself.
Yeah, that's right.
I never thought of it like that. Kudos for the insight.
I get it. One day hopefully you will too
@@MrOccyc me either until I listened to the Vice of Miami Podcast when they discussed the episode
"He was my partner. You understand.
You understand!"
- I remember seeing this on TV as a kid, that indignation and brotherhood/loyalty burned right into my brain.
This so weird, or even crazy somwhat. At this scene, as a damn school kid, one saturday night next to television 30yr back now, I got crystal clear understanding a word loyalty. Which I have kept on mind allway on a road.
Graduated from police academy 1984 when this came out. 31 years cop. Definitely understand this was my partner. Wives come and go but something about the loyalty of a partner.
Watched this entire scene a billion times. Never Ever get sick of it.
Hands down one of the greatest scenes in television history.
I remember watching this first run, one of The most powerful episodes of Miami Vice. A show that never will be duplicated, and I’m even talking of that horrible remake. Thank goodness I lived the first runs of this show. The style, power, the music, you can never have the 80s again.
Same Hear!
Class of 1986!
🤙💯
@@lordbison 1983. Go Spartans!
I remember turning up to school every week after each episode and we'd just break it down.
That movie should have centered around a grown version of Crockett's son. I hate that they tried to remake Crockett himself.
Absolutely agree. The most memorable Miami Vice scene
"He was my partner, you understand? Understand?"
"...Yeah."
Ya i get it.
Because Sonny, Tubbs, Castillo might've done the same thing, for their partner under certain circumstances.
"He was my partner.I helped him build the wall"
Please take me back to the 80s
@@Alvan81 I think that was the undercurrent .... the knowledge that today it's him being judged, but tomorrow it could very well be you.
I haven’t seen this scene in over 30 yrs....just balled my eyes out...because....the first, and only time I ever saw it..was w my late Daddy....an ex-cop...Didn’t miss an episode together...I was a little too young to be watching this. He knew it...so, so glad we did...I understand....
I never saw it. I looked up Best Miami Vice episode & it was bone chilling in an appreciation way. "Brothers in Arms" blew me away. Had to see if it was on TH-cam. Bingo! Best episode ever, all tv shows.
If your father was law enforcement you REALLY understood a good partner-ex leo myself
When I saw this scene I realised that I was watching a truly great episode. For years I tried to find out what artist performed this song and lo and behold I while eating at Benny’s Burritos in the East Village I heard it and ran over to the employee and asked who does this song. After finding out we went to Tower Records and bought the CD which I still have to this day
Benny's, yeah, how is good ol benny these days?

Sadly it closed years ago
I remember the old days before the internet and eventually Shazam when finding the names to these Miami Vice songs was a real challenge.
@@matthewcragg3607 weren't they easily available on the soundtrack?
Not that I recall. I did find a book about the making of Miami Vice back in the late 80’s and that listed them for the first two seasons.
One of the best scenes of this show.
One of the greatest endings from one of the best episodes of Miami Vice. The Dire Straits song playing while the black Daytona prowls through the darkened streets of Miami. The distant thunder. Crockett and Tubbs about to discover the mystery hidden behind the wall in the abandoned house. Just amazing. The first two seasons of this show were about as good as television gets.
@HarrierMan 1962 the first episode of season 3, When Irish Eyes Are Crying, was as good as the first 2 seasons, but the rest of season 3 didn’t match the prior 2 seasons in quality.
Its trades off that poignant song, certainly.
@@mickfunny4185 El Viejo was the exception
1 of the biggest mysteries is why and how Miami vice fell so far so fast after season 2.
@@MRVISTA-wz7vj Why didn't you like that?
Might be one of the best scenes in television/film history
Season 2 is when MV was firing on all cylinders. For a short time, Michael Mann had bottled lightning. This was the greatest episode of the series, and probably the best episode of any cop show ever.
So true.
Everyone mentions their co-favorite episodes so I'll nominate "Evan." One of the very first mentions of discrimination against gays and how it affected a former "Three Musketeers" group of Academy grads which included Crockett.
Netflix censored that one out of the lineup, which is inexcusable. Probably just because main character Crockett utters the "faggot" word, even though it's in the context of showing just how wrong they were back in the day. Thus completely missing the point of the episode.
@@motoman2WH3 Are you serious? I see beyond grotesque violence, torture, sex on Netflix every day and they are worried about one WORD? We shouldn't celebrate the discriminations of our past, but we should never forget them either.
Evan episode greatest episode ever on MV. Incredibly moving
@@crocodile1313 Yup, "Evan" was excluded from the Netflix run. Also the word "faggot" was bleeped out last time I saw it on cable. PC/cancel culture sure knows how to defeat some of the best lessons for their own cause....🤷♀️🤷♂️
Agreed. The finest episode from the first minute.
Cops driving a $100,000 Ferrarri and wearing $1,000 suits...loved this show...
Wasn't a real Ferrari, but a 1981 or so Corvette with all the body panels changed.
@@relluplewis7112 and they were not real cops and i am not a real human being writing here... i am an italian
@@Schcarraffone I think it's possible you are selling yourself short, really.
73 corvette but yes@@relluplewis7112
@relluplewis7112 idk about 1k suits and 100k car though lol
One of the best episode endings EVER!! Bruce McGill played the fuck out of that shit.
He sure did.
Funny the part was written specifically for Dennis Hopper which would've been awesome...but McGill really nailed it.
This scene had a tremendous effect on my life. I still remember the address from this scene in South Miami that Tubbs and Crocket went to. It was 114 South Waters Street.
Miami Vice, is and will always be the best TV show ever produced.
Vice was great... Hill Street Blues is the greatest television drama ever produced..
very well said...and me too.
Man this episodes ending stuck it's hooks in me and still does. The best.
Miami Vice and in particular that episode had a huge impact on my life too! I can remember it clearly the night it aired. Still to this day!
"Out Where the Buses don't Run"......One of the best episodes of Miami Vice.
What I love about this episode is it reflects Welldon’s genius as a detective as well as his insanity. His theories and intel on the two traffickers is dead on. With his help Vice makes a huge bust. But he inserted his fantasy that Arcero is alive into the investigation so he can “will” him back to life. He couldn’t accept that he had done something so wrong by killing him. Brilliant writing!
Very, very well-put. Thank you.
Agreed...Insanity and genius indeed... fantastic acting by all concerned... don Johnson facial expression when Weldon starts hammering the wall.... it's recognition we are at another level here....👍
It’s d day what do you expect
Weldon could walk into a crowded nightclub and find out something nobody else even knew.
I think it was more a case of he thought he did what he needed to to get a scumbag off the streets and thought he could live with it. problem is, it ate him alive, made him crazy. what was once a great cop became a burned out, fizzled ex-cop who after so many years just couldn't live with it anymore. You're right though, this was one of the greatest episodes of the entire series. it's absolutely one of my favorites.
What a show…I was a little kid and I’m sure some of it was over my head but in my mid 40’s I can watch this show all day and never get tired of it. Absolutely perfect writing, acting, the aesthetic that is 1980’s Miami. Just incredible stuff. One of the shows I can watch that takes me back and still be immersed in the actual story rather than just have on for nostalgia. Well done Miami Vice.
Amen jess
CHILLS
TV at its finest. Watched Miami Vice via Antenna. Simple times.
“We’re gonna need backup”
“I know what you’re gonna need”
Just like Castillo
He knew exactly what was going on with this cop. Great acting, even better music.
This is a masterful six minutes from the greatest episode in television history. Don Johnson, who was underrated as an actor, is absolutely at his best. At the 5:53 mark, when the body of Arcaro is revealed, Johnson's expression moves subtly from apprehension/fear to shock/revulsion to resignation/relief in just a few moments -- it's wonderful. McGill, of course, is fantastic throughout the entire episode. Finally, David Strathairn -- long before he was well-known -- seals the deal with his defiant, ""He was my partner, you understand? Understand?"
Agree on all points.
Noticed the same about Johnson's/Crockett's reaction to the body, and as he reaches for the newspaper. Didn't give it enough credit at the time. Also, note that this early in the series Tubbs was an equal partner and this was arguably *his* episode moreso than Crockett's.
Strathairn was one of many guests who went on to bigger things after appearing on "Vice" and was indeed excellent here. McGill was great, slightly "off" but that fit somehow. It was intriguing to read that the role was written for Dennis Hopper. Always felt McGill was young for the role as written, but figured it was because his character went loony and was forced into early retirement.
Strathairn is one of the most underrated actors of all time.. Along with Stanley Tucci..
How Strathairn didn’t win an Oscar for playing slimey high class pimp/pornographer in LA Confidential is beyond me..
Pierce Patchet..
Yes Johnson is underrated.
Just saw an old straithairn in nomadland. Man time flies
Add to that statement Crockett with a quiet but understanding, "Yeah" to Strathairn's question....so well played and timed.
30+ years later and this scene still holds simply stunning
Season 2 was pure gold. The best one of all 5 seasons
The Prodigal Son parts 1 and 2. That's it for me.
Micheal Mann was great at picking the perfect song for a scene, that you cant think of the song without the scene and vice versa. Whenever I hear "In The Air Tonight", "Cry" or "Brothers In Arms" on the radio today, I think of Miami Vice.
Add "Wire" by U2 to the list..
"Boys and Girls", Bryan Ferry opening of "Bushido" and later in the Epsode "Hello Earth" Kate Bush.
@DTB 1997. Can't forget the classic track called Maybe, The Poet by Bruce Cockburn in Season two, episode 20 called Free Verse. Classic!
I would add "Picture Book" to the list...
@@bigworldddd9566 Exactly! - Also like In Dulce Decorum [Walk Alone].
I watched the original episode in 1985. I watch this scene a few times every year and still get chills. A truly iconic scene in television history!
Truly great television. I worked at an NBC station in Florida at the time. I remember being blown away by this episode. Friday nights at 10pm. Appointment Television. No DVRs.
"Appointment TV". Yeah. Those were the days, my friend. I miss them.
Me too. I worked at an NBC station in Oklahoma at that time as well. For us MV came on at 9pm (we were an hour earlier than you). Trying to watch the show while also doing work to get the following newscast ready was a real challenge sometimes. Great memories of that era burned in my memory.
Worst timeslot in network TV.....we went out at 11 on fridays lol.
WSVN?
This ending was so fucking good. This show changed the entire landscape of television. Just brilliant.
This scene was the zenith of 80's television.
Not to mention the zenith of 80's tv playing on a Zenith. At least at my house. haha
@@chrisbernardo5500 😂
This has got to be the tightest 6-odd minutes of any TV show, and even in middle age, I remember it from when I was 12 - got burned on my brain, and I'm okay with that.
The most unforgettable television scene I have ever seen
Also this scene is very sad it gets me teared up it really makes you feel sorry for Hank Weldon & Marty Lang what they’re going through. The acting & writing is so phenomenal.
I remember watching this show with my dad when I was a kid. I don't think they make tv shows like this anymore.
They haven't in a long time.
They definitely don’t make them like that anymore! Well said
The GOAT scene from this TV show, one of the GOAT scenes in TV history.
Definitely the best scene and ending of the series. So powerful.
Roger Rodd Hands down one of the greatest scenes ever on TV! Great actors paired with perfect music, the sound of Crockett’s Ferrari..I could watch and listen to this scene forever. I had to put my earphones on when I played this.
A LITTLE DIRE STRAIGHTS
FACTS
How old are you
Like somebody else said- the acting was superb. Don Johnson’s eyes are always moving, just like he was searching a building. He was using police tactics that were in use at the time, the “quick peek” into the room at the top of the stairs. When Weldon picks up the pipe Crockett & Tubbs raises their guns slightly, as if they were ready to shoot Weldon if they had to. At the end while Crockett is talking to Weldon’s old partner Castillo is in the background having a muted conversation with a uniform. All brilliant touches.
Castillo (Edward James Olmos) was an absolute pit bull in this series! I'm glad he went on to stardom because he is an outstanding actor.
DONNIE WAYNE JOHNSON IS THE TOPS.
I thought no one noticed it. MAN!!!!
Absolutely. Another great Castillo moment was when he lowered his head as Marty Lang acknowledged his role, “Yeah, Hank, we do.”
This and the gas station scene in “Evan”......two of the greatest moments in MV......
I was 18 when this episode premiered and it was jaw dropping to say the least. Even at that age, I knew I was watching something special and the Dire Straights song was perfect for this episode. It’s like you almost were in the car with them when they were speeding to that motel, not knowing if they were walking into a trap
BUT ... that's the feeling that makes you SO alive. Might be a trap. If only you could bottle that feeling
Not long after this episode aired, I bought the Brothers in Arms album. The more I listen to Mark Knopfler, the more I'm convinced he's the greatest rock guitarist of my lifetime.
Not better than Jimi Hendrix
@@TheLuscious nor Eric Clapton
Oh but he is. Just so subtle that many overlook him.
The music of Dire Straits is unreal.
The title told us everything Out Where The Buses Don’t Run. The phrase means insanity
I was a teenager when this came out, every Friday night I would stay home just to watch my MV. Best episode In tv history.
Yeah I didn't roll out of the house till vice signed off then either
But MV lost in the ratings every week to Dallas....lol
You too huh
@@pulsarlights2825 so that doesn’t make it better
@@robertbreedon9137 what do you mean?
"Miami Vice" was a watershed in the way of producing and directing TV, and it certainly renewed the way of editing and scoring TV in an incredibly beautiful way.
I'm 70, I was 32 when this show came out and it still blocked me away!
The wheels bouncing, the music, the streets empty, the storm coming in..That's one of the best scene ever.
I've always been amused how often in this series we see bits of South Beach that were, at the time, literal slums.
It was said that one reason trendy South Beach retains so much iconic Art Deco architecture is that, back then, it was not even worth tearing it down!
This scene gives me chills every time. I watched it when it aired and it never gets old. The absolute GOAT ending of any series in TV.
A very deep episode. A must see for every one. I don’t care how old you are it’s a must see episode for people to see at least once in their lifetime.
Nah, WAY overrated
My dad used to rave on about this scene, I never understood it until he died.
I decided to play it as we carried out his coffin.
You were right dad, no better televison scene
Michael Mann changed television with style of music, lighting, camerawork.
The exhaust note with the Brothers In Arms score is epic....
especially 1:02 to 1:08
1:10 to 1:30
I instantly turned into a 14 year old while listening to this episode. EPIC!!
Me too brother!! me too.
13 yo
Thought you said to a white 14 year old im like yo nigga what
Me too
AMEN BRY
When you keep coming back to a segment of a tv show that aired 30+ years ago. This is timeless.
Fantastic. When actors and directors tried to give their best.
Bruce McGill is one of those one-shot actors that a lot of TV shows bring on for just one episode and never mention again, but he's so much fun to watch that he stays with you in a way that most guest-stars-of-the-week never do. This is a case in point.
He did play one of the main characters (105 episodes) on Rizzoli & Isles, 2010-2016.
Bruce McGill stole this episode, Hank wasn’t crazy, he was consumed with guilt......
I usually do not even recognize him until the show is over. Then I snap my fingers and say, "Wait a minute!" He plays so many completely different characters.
Best scene from the best episode of the show. Bruce McGill and David Strathairn are two absolute powerhouses.
It's kind of amazing how many guests on MV went on to have long careers, either finding fame of their own or just as reliable supporting characters/"Guest Stars of the Week."
They were both in Speilberg's "Lincoln," Strathairn as Seward and McGill as Stanton.
I think everyone here, who come back every so often to watch this again would all get along wonderfully. Something about this scene and the music is appreciated by “Us” that others just don’t or can’t feel. We are brothers, and sisters, in arms and it would cool to all hang out together one day. Cheers! … nobody says "freeze” like Tubbs :)
YES!!!!!
I agree
“Out Where the Buses Don’t Run”. Loved that show, and this episode was the best.
The scene where Bruce McGill sings "I fought the law" in the back of the convertible... I can't tell you how many times I watched that. Epic! :)
What got me as a child watching this show back in the day. Is that it showed the darkness and tragedy. Them finding Arcaro buried in the wall rattled my psyche. Miami Vice did not pull any punches.
It does rattle one's psyche. It's an episode that plays with you for a long time. Frikkin awesome!
@@taroman7100 ✌️
Quite a haunting scene, cruising in the desolate streets of Miami foreshadowing the chilling plot twist at the haunted motel which is so tragic & sad, it just hits you in the guts leaving an eternal scar as a dark warning that obsession comes with a heavy price. Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" fits so perfectly in this climatic atmosphere that it was ill-fated to be a new wave, hard-boiled, neo-noir masterpiece of television. A classic that should've been acknowledged for a Peabody Award.
This is the greatest scene in TV history.
I have remembered this episode all these years and I saw it again today. It was better than I remembered. Done so well. This series was one of the first to feature current hits on the show. Just a great show and done so well. Lt Castillo is a frightening boss.
Out Where The Busses Don’t Run, considered one of, if not the definitive episode of Miami Vice. For me it has everything, the best compilation of direction, music and suspense combined to produce a true classic. Cheers.
Great episode, but I'd say smugglers blues is probably the episode that defines Miami vice.
Agree with you 100%. I watched pretty much every episode the first 3 or 4 seasons but this is the only one I can remember almost scene for scene. The last 6 minutes captured in this video is seriously some of the best TV ever made
For over 10 years, every time my dad has heard this Dire Straits song he’s told me and my sister a story about how there was a man who was killed and then stuffed into a wall and no one found him for years. I grew up believing it was a true story and was scared by it when I was little and come to find out he’s been telling us this scene from Miami vice all along!
Lol, scary to think that the stress and obsession of a job can make a person snap.
Definitely! I love the Edgar Allen Poe tie-in.
Your dad's a low-key genius.
Your dad has great taste
This ending is utterly iconic.
Only now that I am a grown up and my daddy is gone (this was his favorite show) can I appreciate this episode to its fullest extent. A true work of art!!!
Your dad was cool. And .... he lives in OUR dreams. Lost my dad, too.
My dad and yours was our partner. He was our partner. Get it?
I'll join the majority here...I've seen every episode multiple times and many have there place in my heart but THIS one carries the most weight. I don't know if it was the timing or the music or the clothes (season two had DJ wearing the BEST MV attire!) but everytime I hear Brothers In Arms, I automatically revert to this section of this excellent episode. Miami Vice was truly a voice of a generation and I was definitely caught up in it and this ground breaking episode has stayed with me since 1985. Thank you so much for posting!
Just when you thought you’d seen it all, comes “ Out where the buses don’t run “…..we witnessed at the time the biggest shock and perhaps the greatest ending in TV history……Hank Weldon was the best……and the guilt finally got him …….“ you understand “?……the sorrow for Hank almost makes you cry……J 50 never had a chance.
Truly One of the Best Miami Vice Episodes Ever....Michael Mann a True Genius of matching cinematic music to timeless scenes!!!
I was 19 years old when this one came out and already addicted to the show. All my friends waiting for me to meet them at the party/club/whatever, they were just gonna have to wait……
My favorite MV episode. A goofy light episode for about 45 minutes, then that call came in, everything got dark and that Dire Straits keyboard came in as Crockett and Tubbs go roaring down those deserted streets……You knew something really funky was about to go down. But nobody saw that coming.
Absolutely brilliant marriage of writing, performance and music. That last 6 minutes is as good as TV will ever get. I’ll never get tired of this episode
This scene.....
So incredibly well done....
I get chills.... Dire Straits' 'Brothers in Arms'.....the impact of what Hank and his partner had done.....the scope of this episode's treatment of the mental and emotional health of our police force
Still gives me goosebumps.... I am so thankful I was in my 20's when i lived this ...Best decade EVER .....
My all time favorite scene in the Miami Vice series. “Brothers in Arms” was the perfect song to accompany the scene. Well done!
The great Bruce McGill! One of the best episodes of any series ever, Out Where The Busses Don't Run, season two. Just brilliant.
One of, if not the best episode of Miami Vice! There wasn't a TV show quite like it. And I doubt there ever will be.
80’s were a great time. Sad its gone forever
Top three MV episodes of all time. Deliver us from evil and Mirror Image being the other two. No series since has a better soundtrack. The sheer library of songs that have played on this show is legendary!
Don't forget "Definitely Miami"!
Wadley225 Uncle Ted’s acting debut !!
@Mike Cotto. Evan is also a classic episode. Season 1, Episode 21. Prodigal Son Season 2 (premiere episode), Buddies, Season 2, Episode 6 which also had a great track called No Guarantees by a group called The Nobodys.
Seneca Nicholson no denying that but the ones I listed were my three favorites, and in a series like this it was hard to pick only three.
It is amazing "Vice" went the extra mile to get the original recordings/original artists of contemporary hits. Unheard of at the time. Usually we were treated to cheesy studio cover bands.
My all time favorite Miami Vice episode. Powerful.
Agreed... the song and even the sound of the car engine and thunder in the background... awesome 👍
You forget how visceral this program was: the visuals, the music … still one of the best memories of my youth.
BEST CLASSIC PIECE EVER.
The moment I saw this scene as a 8 or 9 year old kid is so vivid in my memory. It really affected me then and stuck with me. Got chills watching it again after all these years. Such a powerful piece of television.
Yeah, i remember watching the pilot at age 9 and my mom putnher hand over my face when Tubbs was dancing to Somebody's Watching Me in the gentlemans club. I pushed her hand away. I mean she did have clothes on for crying out loud. Not a lot, but some. Love Miami Vice. Always will
Likewise as a child and to this day I'll always remember the man in the wall
I love this episode and remember watching it back when it came out. I also loved during the episode when Crockett and Tubbs are looking over Weldon's record and realize how he let a case take him over the top. They kind of look at each other like, "I hope this doesn't happen to us."
Also whenever I want to mess with friends from this time period who know this episode and need an address I always say "114 South Waters st." in homage
A prelude to 'Shadow in the Dark", when Crockett goes over the edge....That episode gave me the willies, but its so damn good too.
After watching this for the first time years I can only wish that somebody somewhere could make something that is even close to as good as this was. This was a great scene from one of the greatest television shows of all time.
Bone chilling seen. Probably the best plot twist on this show which had a bunch of them. It starts out as one of those goofy episodes and snap your fingers, out of nowhere is a tragic drama ridden, emotional ending. Beautiful combo with the lights, music and that last line, “he was my partner, understand” and the simple reply “yeah”. Great scene.
Only episode of Miami Vice that I truly can't forget. Literally the one completely Perfect episode in a series that had a lot of good ones.
Probably the most emotive scene ever shown on television.
A masterpiece, every single part is perfect. The music, the dialog, the acting....
Scene is LEGENDARY
They timed the great high guitar riff right at the end after Crockett says “yeah” to the “you understand “ so well.
