"Out Where the Buses Don't Run" is the third episode of the second season of the American crime drama television series ''Miami Vice''. The episode first aired on NBC on 18 October 1985. It featured guest star Bruce McGill as an eccentric retired police officer attempting to aid Metro-Dade detectives James "Sonny" Crocket and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs in the search for a missing drug lord. The episode was the second of four in the series directed by Jim Johnston, and was written by John Mankiewicz and Douglas Lloyd McIntosh based on a story idea by McIntosh and Joel Surnow. "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" was well-received critically, earning a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for editor Robert A. Daniels, and appearing in TV Guide's 1997 list of the "100 Greatest TV Episodes of All Time". ==Plot== When James "Sonny" Crockett (Don Johnson) and Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) arrest a small-scale drug dealer, they receive a visit at the police station from a man Crockett recognises as retired Vice officer Hank Weldon (Bruce McGill). Weldon informs the pair that the man they have arrested works for a drug lord called Tony Arcaro, who disappeared five years before after narrowly avoiding a conviction. Suspicious of Weldon's motives, and his seemingly unstable mental condition, Crockett and Tubbs visit his former police partner Marty Lang (David Strathairn), who informs them that Weldon was discharged on medical grounds rather than having retired. He had painstakingly built up a case against Arcaro, and suffered a breakdown when the drug lord walked free on a technicality. When the pair go to leave, they find that Weldon has followed them, and is both defensive and furious concerning their visit to his partner. However, he reveals that Arcaro's successor, Freddie Constanza, is to be shot that day on Arcaro's orders. All three reach the location of the hit in time to witness Constanza being killed, and Weldon is arrested on suspicion of involvement. Weldon is later released uncharged, and acting on information he overheard from his cell-mate, tips off Crockett and Tubbs to the location of a drug deal involving Arcaro's men. When the deal is interrupted and Arcaro found to be absent, Weldon is enraged and storms off. That night, Weldon places a call to the police station claiming he has found Arcaro. When Crockett and Tubbs arrive at the scene, an abandoned tenement building, they find a disturbed but lucid Weldon, who begins to tear down a plaster wall. Immured inside the wall is the corpse of Tony Arcaro, and a newspaper from the day of his acquittal. Weldon admits to having killed Arcaro in response to the court trial; while Lang later confesses to helping build the wall—to help his partner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Out Where the Buses Don't Run」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
