Viggo Mortenson and Lou Diamond Phillips are detectives about to get their gold shields, Eddie Trumbull and Bobby Diaz. Following SOP, they call Rico and Sonny for help executing a search warrant, unaware the residence door was rigged with explosives until Trumbull dies. He is the third cop to die executing warrants in Broward County. Rico seems to go 100% ballistic, swearing there is a leak with the warrants. Apoplectic that the Miami brass is allowing vice men to be picked off like sitting ducks, Rico loudly quits the force. He hooks up with Special Investigations Division Detective McIntyre. MV veterans know there is about to be a big sting but someone really should have told Bobby. Annette Bening has a small role as Vicky.
