[1] (Miami) Vice Squad detective James "Sonny" Crockett has just lost his partner, Eddie Rivera (Jimmy Smits), in a car bombing.

Crockett was investigating Esteban Calderone (Miguel Pinero), a Colombian cocaine dealer, when he meets a New York City narcotics detective, Rafael Tubbs.

A retired Vice detective (Bruce McGill) offers to assist Crockett and Tubbs with their latest case.

The man the former detective claims is running the drug ring they are investigating supposedly died years ago.

Changes in season three included Dick Wolf joining the crew as executive producer working with Michael Mann, different style and fashion looks, the introduction of the Ferrari Testarossa, Sonny Crockett's new car and the death of Larry Zito (Diehl).

The episodes "The Big Thaw", "Missing Hours" and "The Cows of October" are considered among fans to be the worst in the series.

In the two-hour series finale, Crockett and Tubbs are recruited to protect Gen. Manuel Borbon (Ian McShane), a dictator of a ravaged Latin American country, who has information on major players in the drug underworld.

By the end of the episode, Crockett and Tubbs shoot down Borbon's seaplane as he tries to escape the authorities, killing the General and several government operatives, and the pair quit the police force in disgust.
