Nobody Lives Forever: Sonny's new girlfriend Brenda has him out every night of the week, and they've only been going together for two. It's getting so intense that Rico's getting jealous. But bigger trouble has leadfooted its way into Miami. A trio of death-obsessed joyriders has just abandoned their stolen car on the beach, right next to a shot-up lunch wagon. All they left behind are two dead patrons, some empty whiskey bottles and a mess of comic books. This was no organized hit. Seems they're going to shoot and rob whoever they please on their rides, and not even care if they get killed themselves. Thanks to Brenda, Sonny's running late the next morning, so he's not even in the office yet when the shooters steal a second car, dump it at a run-down motel, and go looking for a third. Larry takes the call and reports to Rico that the car had more comic books left in it. Same guys. Plus Rico's got a couple phone numbers to track down, which gets him out of answering Gina's interrogation about Sonny. That night, Sonny and Rico are running the numbers, but Sonny's on the phone with Brenda when they shooters come roaring out of a bar, almost mowing down Rico in the process. By the next morning, they've made another hit, and someone trying to stop them has been killed. Gina expresses her displeasure for Sonny's blowing her off in favor of Brenda, and Sonny later has to explain their connection. Sonny and Rico put Izzy on the shooters' tail. Of course he's just as scared of them as everyone else. At Rico's suggestion, Sonny takes the day off to sort out how devoted to Brenda he is against how hard he's focusing on the job. That night, Izzy finds the shooters in a little diner, but can't get a call in to the cops before a shootout erupts right in front of him. Seems the lunch wagon was owned by Morgan, a powerful former organized crime figure in Miami who's lost two men and a day's haul from the wagon, plus he loses two more men in the diner gunfight. Rico crashes breakfast with Sonny and Brenda, confronting her about her influence as soon as Sonny leaves the room. Will Sonny become only a crimp in her style? Another meet with Izzy reveals that now the shooters know who Morgan is, and their greed has prompted them to hit more of his lunch wagon chain. Sonny and Rico stake out Morgan's garage, waiting for their quarries to show up. After three days, nothing's happened, but Morgan's security has made them. Sonny returns to Brenda's place, and their future is discussed. But the next morning she doesn't wake him until he's very late for the stakeout, and he opens her front door only to find Rico standing there, apparently used by Morgan's thugs as a punching bag. At the office, Rico offers a plan to take over one of Morgan's wagons (provided he doesn't want to be charged with assault!) as bait for the punks. Castillo approves, but reassigns Sonny to the office with a devastating glare of disappointment. Sonny leaves early, goes out on his boat to think, and arrives at Brenda's the next morning to call it quits. He arrives at the lunch wagon not a moment too soon, because the desperate-for-cash punks are making their move. Rico guns down the first one, Larry the second, but the third floors the car, ready to flatten Rico as he makes his getaway. Hitting the wall, the last punk staggers from the car and into Sonny's sights. He draws, but Sonny fires first. The rampage is over, and Sonny's back on the job.
