EPISODE 25

BAD BREAKS

HOME

Original air date:  02/12/2009

The episode starts with Michael and Sam meeting Barry poolside.  Only there is a problem, Jason Bly has returned and is recording the conversation.  This was filmed at the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa on Grove Isle Dr. in Coconut Grove.

Now Bly is back.  We next go to Carlito’s (set) and then to Michael’s place (set) where they are tearing the place apart.

Then we go to Madeline’s (set) where we meet the client Paula. Michael and Sam then go to the “Del Mar Apartments” to look for Prescott the stalker. This was also filmed at the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa.

While at the “Del Mar Apartments” Michael gets a call from Paula.  She tells Michael that Prescott is outside her workplace right then.  She works at Broward Private Trust. This was filmed at 119 Washington Ave. South Miami Beach. The Atlantic Center.

Bly joins Michael inside, and then Prescott arrives. Only he is not a stalker but a robber.

When they leave the lobby to go into the conference room. The filming shifts from Atlantic Center to a set built in the C.G.C.C. Studio.

Michael calls Sam who is on a date. This was filmed at Carlito’s (set).

Sam and Fiona respond we see them come out of a building with supplies and load the car. This was filmed in the 200 block of Jefferson Ave. just a couple blocks from the Atlantic Center.

Fiona and Sam arrive at Broward Private Trust. They are on the southbound side of Washington Ave. across from Broward Private Trust. I was fortunate to be on location for two days and be able to watch as they filmed this episode.

Fiona prepares to blast a hole in the wall of the Atlantic Center.  This was filmed on the south side of the Atlantic Center.

Then the police stop nearby and see the delivery truck outside. Fiona goes into action and diverts the cops attention. This was filmed at the corner of Washington Ave. and 1st Street.

Between takes, which there were multiple for this little scene, they brought a water truck in to hose down the area.

There are more behind the scenes photos at the end of this page.

Fiona’s ploy works. Michael continues to handle things inside. Then we see Sam tracking down the boat. This was also filmed on South Beach. At the very south end, off of Alton Road.

Michael’s plan takes shape.

The bad guys start to leave and Fiona blows their escape truck.

The police arrive right away. I noticed they aired the tires down to about 15psi so that they squealed loudly as the came around the corner even though they were not going that fast. They came from the east on 1st Street and turned north onto Washington Ave.

The glass in the door was shattered in a separate filming about 15 minutes after the truck explosion.  

After Michael saves the day again he goes to his mother’s house (set). Then he meets Barry at Carlito’s (set).  Then Michael goes to his place where he meets with Bly and they part friends. The episode ends there.
