I think this is an example of Sonny almost breaking before the amnesia arc. He almost lost himself, but once he released all that negative emotion onto the serial killer- He's able to find himself again, remember who he is, and let go of the obsession that almost led him to beat the serial killer to death.
Mt. Rushmore, I 100% agree with your comment. Spot on 👍. That moment is one of my top 10 favourite Miami Vice scenes of all time. The moment he sees the woman in fear, he tries to reassure her (in his shaky condition) of his intent to help and at the same moment, begins to come around for himself as well.
@@Tanker1106 fool you don’t know good acting if it hit you up side yo head. The actors on this show was phenomenal, that’s what makes this show legendary fool, gtfoh 😂😂
Easily one of the best episodes of Miami Vice, alongside Calderone's Return episodes, Little Miss Dangerous and Death And The Lady. Nobody makes them like this anymore. Someone tell me something similar to watch.
This was the only real episode I remembered since the 80's. I was STUCK. I remember my thoughts were around crockets obsession, and he showing his side of weakness. I remember I felt so much for him, because I knew he didn't loose it.
such a great series of scenes... Rico patronizing Sonny, then Sonny pleading with Rico, the scene with Gilmore when he picks the photo, and the scene when Sonny takes out all his frustration on the assailant. Quality stuff there.
Michael Mann wasnt even involved in the series by this time. He didnt direct any episode. And Manhunter is based on Red Dragon. So i dont think you are right.
The episode shares many similarities with Michael Mann's 1986 movie Manhunter, the first Hannibal Lecter film, which has an almost identical plot (an investigator struggling to retain his own sanity whilst delving into the mind of a disturbed criminal, who is breaking into people's houses, in order to catch him). The film also shares many stylistic traits with Miami Vice, and features a large number of Vice guest stars -- Garcelle Beauvais (from "Give a Little, Take a Little" and "The Maze"), Bill Cwikowski (from "No Exit"), Chris Elliott (from "Down for the Count (Part II)"), Dennis Farina (from "One Eyed Jack", "Lombard" and "World of Trouble"), Kim Griest (from "Nobody Lives Forever"), Michele Shay (from "Theresa"), Bill Smitrovich (from "Brother's Keeper" and "The Prodigal Son") and Jim Zubiena (from Calderone'♙ Return (Part I)), as well as Miami Vice regular Michael Talbott.
I watched Miami Vice during its original run. Yeah, I'm old! I remember this episode vividly even to this day. It was definitely different but I thought it was very well done.
Yes and I always thought that vice was a narcotics unit going after high end drug dealers, but some episodes turned out to be homicide cases. It was still an awesome cop drama series. Definitely the best of the 1980s.
Man Hunter and The Red Dragon, all inspirations for this fantastic episode and Don didn’t disappoint with his amazing acting skills!! Definitely Miami 😉 Cheers

My best friend Crockett more than tough this case home with him he actually got inside the mind of that creep and that creep lived within Crockette mind . That’s why he said you live with me don’t you crazy shit
Crockett going for two days without sleep in order to get inside the home invader's head was a bit scary, including the way he reacted when Castillo wanted him off the case, which, under normal circumstances, would only have resulted in a bit of grumbling, but nearly led to a meltdown. The meeting with the police commissioner was a bit intense. I loved the part where Castillo told Tubbs to stay with Crockett as long as possible and he didn't want him on the street in his condition.
Andrea Alicia Albay Gamboa I believe so, and think my wife found them there and/or on eBay. I know she had to piece the box set together if I’m not mistaken
That's the direction they should have been heading towards in seasons 4 and 5 - mystery, unsolved cases, serial murders etc. Unsolved Mysteries kind of vibe.
Whoever was responsible for the HORRIBLE decision to cut Sonny’s mullet off, truly is the thing of nightmares. Here’s hoping that person, along with the show’s hair stylist, was unceremoniously let go. I bet Paul Mitchell had a panic attack after seeing this.
From the start of Vice til the End was a slow burn of him being broken the job took its toll. Cost him a chance at reconciliation with his ex wife cost him the death of collegues & friends and people he was trying to protect while on the job cost him his wife who was pregnant getting killed the system beat him down on more than one occasion he was getting darker every year....

Thanks for sharing . Miami Vice best tv show from the 80’s !
"I'm a cop.....I'm a cop...."
Sonny is able to break the spell and reaffirm his own existence. Beautifully done. Nothing done today comes even close.

Seriously one of the best episodes. The ending was insanity. Even the song that goes with the episode is CHILLING.
Extremely well-done. NOTHING comes close to this any more.
michael mann made manhunter. the aesthetic and style really carries over between the two projects
@@cagneybillingsley2165Sure does , Manhunter was great and this episode right here is epic , Don Johnson phenomenal is phenomenal here
@@mt.rushmore7916I concur !
This was quite an episode. Don Johnson acted well in this. You slowly see him go nuts and then the release valve of catching the guy saves him.
One of the creepiest Vice eps. - right behind "The Home Invaders" (the only ep. without PMT.)
😂Don Johnson acted well? He along with everyone else in MV were terrible actors. Really crappy writing too.

Oh my gosh I miss the 80s. Crockett and Tubbs were the best..
And that theme song, nothing like it
Easily in my top 5 all time episodes. Brilliance
Don was absolutely fantastic in this episode.
Such an amazing performance.
such a great series of scenes... Rico patronizing Sonny, then Sonny pleading with Rico, the scene with Gilmore when he picks the photo, and the scene when Sonny takes out all his frustration on the assailant. Quality stuff there.
Easily inside the TOP 5 episodes of the entire series.
For sure 👍🏻
I’m currently binge watching.
I just bought the box set
Best show!! They dont make them like this anymore!
HELL NO THEY DON'T
*"you live with me, don't you?"*
Yeah, well your half of the rent is late.
*MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
Shadow in the dark! Awesome episode!
Creepy as hell. Gave me nightmares galore.
My favorite tv show from the 80’s and this right here is my favorite episode.
Donnie is a tremendous actor. The MV Series challenged all of his many talents.
Yeah, this was Michael Mann's homage to his movie "Man Hunter". It rocked, "Man Hunter" rocked the 80s rocked and Miami Vice...yeah, rocked.
"You've seen these before. Haven't you, my man?"
Yeah, Man Hunter totally rocked. Long live the 80s.
I never put that together! You are exactly right! William Peterson pulled that part off beautifully
Michael Mann wasnt even involved in the series by this time. He didnt direct any episode. And Manhunter is based on Red Dragon. So i dont think you are right.
*MANHUNTER
@@seanfree3821 Wrong..
Watching Sonny's descent into madness takes us down to the depths of his despair. He must find the perp.
Don Johnson is a truly underrated actor. Every cast member in this series was.
I have to agree there, it's high quality for sure.

One of the best episodes of vice!
"You've got to help me"
This could have gone very dark if Sonny had legitimately flipped out and became the very killer he was trying to catch...
It may be time to binge watch. I still haven't bought the Blu Ray yet!
Me neither. I want both versions.
Best episode of the entire series!
I really miss the 80’s!!
I can't stop.... this is more addictive than Miami crack
One of the best episodes, I love the Jan Hammer piece of music.
This is very strange episode of Miami Vice but one that Mann used as inspiration for his aHannibal Lector movie Manhunter
Lol, that was actually the exact thing i first thought of when i saw the thumbnail.
Strange episode, yes. But one of the best and most realistic episodes IMHO.
Also Brenda's house (episode Nobody lives forever)
“Crockett can’t tell the difference between Bauhaus and the outhouse.”
Tubbs always held sonny down love it lol "tea and thorazine"
The actor who played the creep is Vincent Caristi. He died young at 42 in 1990

That was some great acting i remember this like yesterday, Great memories.❤️
This is really the best episode I have seen! Don acted amazing good in thise episode.
“I'm a cop! I'm Will Gra... uhh, I mean, Sonny Crockett."
I thought the same thing, Mate. Both Will and Sonny needed to see a living victim to break the killers spell.......
excellent picture quality. BluRay?
Wow the episode 😱😱😱😱
It was and still is fantastic.
Mt. Rushmore one of the best, if not THE best IMO!
Best episode!
Mt. Rushmore No doubt !
Man Hunter and The Red Dragon, all inspirations for this fantastic episode and Don didn’t disappoint with his amazing acting skills!! Definitely Miami 😉

The 1985 Thermos "Miami Vice" metal lunchboxes are so rare and hard to find. One of the very last to be made.
Great actor, Don Johnson!!! Love this show! It bring's back great memorie's.. I still watch the rerun's... From Michigan..🥀🥀🥀🥀....
Tv version of Michael Mans Manhunter. Love this episode
Crockett and Tubbs teaching the easiest way to get out of paying a bill at a restaurant.
Lol
lol
Crockett didn't even have to pick up his Polaroids, they just vanished into thin air when he stormed out !
@@chrisf1600 right!
This is a excellent choice for a Halloween movie
This was FANTASTIC work. Wow......take me back in time and let me see if for the first time!
Question is, when did the dream start?
It was Johnson's greatest performance EVERRRR!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
One of them.
That line you live with me is incredible
Come on Gilmore...
the sound is awesome
Miami Vice for me is best then CSI Miami
Great stuff!
Micheal Manns attempt at recreating Red Dragon for television.
My best friend Crockett more than tough this case home with him he actually got inside the mind of that creep and that creep lived within Crockette mind . That’s why he said you live with me don’t you crazy shit
Magnifique épisode
This is a great episode...this is switch of Manhunter
Love it ❤!!

One of the best acting performances in television history by Don Johnson!!
Where can I watch the full episodes?

Used to be on Hulu. Thankfully my late wife bought me the DVD box set for Christmas a few years ago

Creepy dude reminds me of some of my DuPage County neighborhood acquaintances back in the 80s.
‘You live with me don’t you’
“Freaky”
That's the direction they should have been heading towards in seasons 4 and 5 - mystery, unsolved cases, serial murders etc. Unsolved Mysteries kind of vibe.
So satisfying watching Crockett pound his face in LOL
4:36 to 4:42 was perfect acting
Dude sounded like The Joker when they were bringing him to the car.
Best serial killer episode 🔝😱🔪🕎
i don't remember anyone dying in this episode

3:00 - The scene should have concluded with ‘so say we all!’
Absolutely rivals the big screen adaptation, Manhunter.
I think the shadow liked being hit many times in the face....it got him off.
Theres no Oscar for tv. But this should be an exception.
Happy 35th Anniversary, "Shadow in the Dark"
His partner still believed in him, even when he thought he was lost.
This was just like the movie Manhunter also by Michael Mann
I can't find one full episode of Miami Vice on UA-cam, been looking for 29 years, what's the deal?
Ebay, box set x
Do what every fan does and buy a physical hard copy dvd boxset. Streaming is a censorious scam.
The writers and actors of today's sitcoms are nowhere as talented as the ones who wrote for and acted in series like Miami Vice.
No thumbs down! Thank you all smart people!
I thought that was the "it rubs the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again..." guy.
Crockett looks pretty bad in this chapter of Miami Vice.
From the start of Vice til the End was a slow burn of him being broken the job took its toll. Cost him a chance at reconciliation with his ex wife cost him the death of collegues & friends and people he was trying to protect while on the job cost him his wife who was pregnant getting killed the system beat him down on more than one occasion he was getting darker every year....
No I don't think so he s just having a bad night....
Manhunter... It's Just Me and You Sport
Crokket and Tubs quit?
Watch the 2-part series finale "Freefall" (s-5, 1989.) You'll get you're answer right then and there.
