Crockett and Tubbs’s only greeting at Riviera ’s address is a storm of gunfire until backup arrives and the shooters surrender. The house yields a closet full of drugs and Santeria statues. Castillo recognizes the largest statue as a Santeria figure as “The Divinity Of Justice”, matching the statue found in the squad car. Whoever murdered the cops had revenge for his motive, but who and why? Riviera wouldn’t have surrendered to them if he was a cop-killer, so Castillo believes he didn’t murder the SB cops. Especially after Riviera hints that there are dirty cops in South Beach .

Castillo takes the squad car artifacts to an expert in the field, Priestess Chata, who informs them that the killer worships Shan-Go, the Santeria god of fire and thunder, and he saw himself as a warrior who hunted the down the cops he believed to be evil spirits—criminals. After Crockett and Tubbs leave to check the slain cops’s financial records, Castillo requests further help from Chata. She warns him that if the killer knows he’s being hunted, he may defy his gods and kill again. But Castillo has a job to do.

Meanwhile, Crockett must go to the impound lot and stop Izzy from stealing his Ferrari back for him. Apparently, Izzy was planning to get it repainted and create a phony registration so the nerd couldn’t go after it again. That might have been preferable considering the nerd couldn’t get the top up and left it out in the rain. The Ferrari is now a shelter for stray cats.

The records show that the two cops had major financial difficulty until six months ago, and all bills have been paid off since. So the cops were dipping into dirty money. Tubbs asks for the records of the other two South Beach cops at the scene. The computer confirms they’re just as corrupt. Crockett thinks he knows where they can hunt them down. In a nightclub, While Tubbs takes to the floor, Crockett locates the other SB cops and questions where the money came from. The interview quickly turns into a fistfight and Tubbs leaps to Crockett’s aid. By now they can smell the cops have gone black, but they still can’t prove it. Funny, the band in the nightclub looked and sounded a lot like Duran Duran…

A man named Roberto Marandez contacts Priestess Chata requesting a meeting with Castillo that night. Chata advises against it, but Castillo accepts. Meanwhile, Tubbs is driving home and finds himself being followed by a SB squad car, no lights, no siren. He pulls over and yells at the cops as they pass. Castillo enters a large dark room that looks like some kind of Santeria temple and meets Marandez in full native regalia… or does he? Marandez give Castillo the name Victor Davillo, who was shaken down by the SB cops like all the other dealers, only he would not pay and they held his son for $100,000 ransom. Marandez can’t eliminate Davillo himself without starting a turf war, so his arrest would be better for all. With Internal Affairs crawling all over the South Beach precinct, The Vice Squad stakes out Davillo’s house until an enraged SB officer drives his truck onto the lawn, drawing Davillo out and triggering a gun battle, which ends only when the squad moves in and Davillo’s men see they’re outnumbered. The badly wounded SB officer is tended to by Crockett and Tubbs, who find a fatal bullet was stopped only by some Santeria charm he wore.

Saturday morning, Crockett, Tubbs, Izzy and others surprise the nerd at the impound lot with a ton of papers he must sign, to witness that it’s his turn to be tied up in red tape. Once Crockett’s ready to drive his Ferrari home, he, Tubbs and Izzy have a good laugh. The papers were all forged by Izzy. But come Monday, the real ones will arrive in the mail.
