Storyline

- TriviaThe name of the episode is taken from the Jamaican saying that means "peace be the journey." The phrase became internationally well known when it was used for the title of a largely fictitious movie Cool Runnings, which was inspired by the unlikely but true story of a bobsled team from Jamaica that participated in the Winter Olympics of 1988.
- GoofsAt the start of the two-van car chase, the chase van has one defective headlight. A few seconds later, both headlights work just fine.

Nugart Neville 'Noogie' Lamont: Anytime, anytime y'all need the Noog-man? You know where I'll be at, you know? You know what I'm sayin'? Ha ha ha ha! What's my name? Noo-gie!

As with so many episodes of the series, this is an example of excellent television. It is simply a joy to behold - every scene is a gem. Although "Miami Vice" has a gritty edge to it, there's always an element of escapism to the proceedings, even if it's just an opportunity for the viewer to admire the beauty of Miami itself. Not all of the scenes are set in beautiful surroundings, of course. This tale certainly has its seedy locations and they add genuine atmosphere to the proceedings.
In this episode, Crockett and Tubbs realise they're both prepared to cut corners in order to get the right result.
The late, great Charlie Barnett makes his first appearance in the series as the likable Neville 'Noogie' Lamont.
