- Speaking of fucked, why are you here?Copy !req
466. I did bad, Bunk. It wasn't my fault.Copy !req
467. Really.Copy !req

611. That makes sense.Copy !req
612. Phelan isn't just a judge,
he's a political entity.Copy !req
613. If he asks for something,
I want to give it to him.Copy !req
614. Why is he asking about this Barksdale?Copy !req
615. He watched his state's attorney
get beat up in his court this week.Copy !req
616. - Lost a murder case.

624. He's the one who mouthed off
to the judge in the first place.Copy !req
625. - He talked to the judge?
- Yeah, that's my understanding.Copy !req
626. So, if he comes over on this,
watch your back.Copy !req
627. You need anything, you ask me.Copy !req
628. I'll give you all the help I can.Copy !req
629. - But no surprises.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
630. Keep me briefed.Copy !req

641. Your man gave us a hell of a case.Copy !req
642. Comes to informants, Jimmy,

643. He's one of the better Cl's I've ever worked.Copy !req
644. - You up on a wire?
- That and more.Copy !req
645. So, like, he be talking like
he got some type of record deal, you know?Copy !req
646. - Man, please.

648. - Pretty fucking great, huh?
- How'd you get this on tape?Copy !req
649. That's not tape. That's live, brother.Copy !req
650. That's live?Copy !req
651. Live from a three-story walkup
on Homer Avenue...Copy !req
652. in the bottoms of Pimlico.Copy !req
653. This is going on right now?Copy !req
654. - As we speak.
- How?Copy !req
655. Fiber-optic lensing.
Camera's behind a hole in the drywall.Copy !req
656. So small it looks like
a nail might've made it.Copy !req

to counterterrorism.Copy !req
668. This thing's the last drug case
we got pending...Copy !req
669. and I gotta shut it down
by the end of the month.Copy !req
670. - You guys are getting out of drugs?
- Yeah, for a while.Copy !req
671. We just don't have the manpower
to stay on anything big.Copy !req
672. Not since those towers fell.Copy !req
673. What, we don't have enough love
in our hearts for two wars?Copy !req
674. - Joke's on us, huh?
- I guess so.Copy !req
675. Still and all, you give great case, brother.
I wish you could've worked it with us.Copy !req
676. Got some Tech Nine over here,

726. - You don't know that.
- These guys are good.Copy !req
727. They're deep and organized.
They've got everyone running scared.Copy !req
728. What do you suggest?Copy !req
729. Surveillance teams,
DNRs, asset investigation.Copy !req
730. Keep gathering string
till we can find a way in.Copy !req
731. Either a wired CI or a Title Ill.
That's what makes this case.Copy !req
732. Is that what you told the judge?Copy !req
733. Okay, so I'm an asshole for that.
But I'm right about this much.Copy !req
734. No mics, no wires.
We do this fast and clean and simple.Copy !req
735. Then you don't do it at all.Copy !req
736. Seems to me you all could've had this fight
before calling the State's Attorney's office.Copy !req
737. Let me ask you something.
What do we know about Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
738. What do we know?Copy !req
