Burnett and Cooper are in the midst of a typical drug buy (60 keys of cocaine) from Esteban Montoya inside a Miami strip joint when men wearing DEA gear destroy Vice's impending bust and haul away all the money and goodies. DEA refuses to cooperate with Castillo when he calls to recoup Vice's money; DEA stonewalls him. Internal Affairs gets nasty with Sonny; he tells them to suck eggs. DEA is neither making arrests nor logging in evidence and the MV team is sure something is "rotten in the state of Miami." Rico and Tubbs try talking to old pals, DEA agents, Chuck and Linda Colby (Jimmie Ray Weeks and Elizabeth Ashley) who are having bad luck. Chuck is 3 years wheelchair-bound after a DEA bust gone south; their son, Brian Colby, is in hospital hoping for a new kidney. As IA tries to get (manufacture) goods on Sonny, Tubbs and Crockett know they are clean, so they let Linda know they plan to take down Senor Montoya and who they believe are one or more dirty DEA agents.
