[[spoiler: At the end of which, one of the kids get killed by Moya.]]

Crockett and Tubbs are on airport security duty when Crockett notices a white college student buying a ticket to Bogota while carrying a day bag. Believing it might be a drug deal, he comes across Eddie Rivers and Louis Martinez. Both of them are New Yorkers who dream of doing a one-time drug deal in order to finance the buying of their own night club. Unfortunately, despite attempting to scare them with horror stories of drug lords and Colombian police, they make a break for it.
