Stone’s
War:
Guest Star G.
Gordon Liddy
Staggering out of Central
America, Ira Stone is back in Miami and is again asking for
Crockett’s help. He claims to have an exclusive tape of American
soldiers raiding a Nicaraguan village, and someone who doesn’t want
the story on the news has goons following him. Sonny agrees to let him
crash on the boat for one night.
“You’re
lucky I’m not in Bunco.”
Tubbs doesn’t buy Stone’s
story, either. At least Castillo has better news for Crockett. His
beloved Daytona has been replaced, since the department confiscated
the late Bunny Barrigan’s now-white Ferrari Testarossa.
“340
horsepower, 180 miles per hour, new paint, new rubber.”
“Absolutely
essential for any kind of serious police work, huh?”
“You got
that right!”
Back on the
boat, Crockett finds Stone claiming to have been shot in the hand when
he tried to sell his tape downtown. Crockett wants no part of it, but
is drawn in when Joplin informs him that a federal warrant has been
issued for Stone’s arrest in connection with the shooting death of
his cameraman. The bogus feds that search the boat that night lend
even more credibility to the story(Some guard Elvis is!). Crockett’s
woken later by a phone call from Stone, at the airport, claiming
he’s sold the tape. After the pickup, their tail is easily(thought
not quickly) lost by the Testarossa, and Stone’s tossed behind bars
for his own safety. Crockett delivers the tape to Stone’s contact,
but returns to find Switek has been duped into transferring Stone into
the hands of Captain Maynard! He calls Crockett demanding the tape,
But the reporter won’t return it until Tubbs fast-talks her into
making them a copy. Maynard detects the switch and won’t release
Stone. That night, the reporter is found murdered in her office, all
her tapes erased. A memo reveals that Maynard has a judge in his
pocket, who reveals where Maynard is hiding. But ther time the cops
arrive, he’s fled to the Glades, and they find him marching his
mercenary troops into a transport plane. While Maynard’s listening
to Stone being brutalized, Crockett and Tubbs get the drop on him,
forcing him to drive them to Stone. Another gunman bursts in and
shoots Stone, allowing Maynard to escape to the plane. Stone passes
away before Maynard and his men leave the ground, and later, on the
radio, Crockett hears their murders in Nicaragua credited to local
guerillas. His only consolation is, Maynard never comes back.
In both this
episode and “Back In The World”, the notorious Captain Maynard was
played by former Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy. Today, he is a
talk-radio host and one of America’s most popular public speakers.
Also, this was the second of four Vice episode directed by Don
Johnson!
