Cool runnin' for a cool show

This time Sonny Crocket and Rico Tubbs take on a case involving drug dealers who are killing their "customers" and taking their money and vehicles. What was supposed to be a "preliminary" meeting to exchange views on cash and drugs turned out to be a deadly shootout after which more of the same followed. The case was originally assigned to two other detectives, personal friends of Sonny Crocket and later in different circumstances it was delivered to Crockett and Tubbs who have taken an informant who goes by the name of "Noogs" to help them out in this case as he is supposed to personally know the main suspect.

The third episode of 'Miami Vice' detectives was solid, good in acting as well as it was in story, but i felt that it was a bit less better performed and executed than the first two episodes.
