371. - You could swing that?
- Never hurts to ask, does it?Copy !req
372. It never does, Your Honor.Copy !req
373. So, in that same spirit...Copy !req
374. where are we with the Barksdale probe?Copy !req
375. My other reason for stopping by.Copy !req
376. Hand-to-hands and search-and-seizures,
I've heard about these.Copy !req
377. Some mid-level players caught up,
as you can see.Copy !req
378. Look, it's not a knockout blow,
but we sent a clear message.Copy !req
379. I don't see Barksdale's name anywhere...Copy !req
380. or Bell, or anything about the murders.Copy !req
381. The casework, it goes towards that.Copy !req
382. No.Copy !req
383. So, we've got work to do, don't we?Copy !req
384. Police, open the damn door!Copy !req
385. - What?
- Open the motherfucking door!Copy !req
386. - Upstairs front clear.
- Kitchen's clear.Copy !req
387. I'm at the backdoor.Copy !req
388. - Anybody pop out here?
- Okay, quiet.Copy !req
389. Upstairs rear, clear.Copy !req
390. I'm gonna beat this bitch
like a red-headed stepchild...Copy !req
391. for hiding up in this pisshole.Copy !req
392. Goddamn creepy crawlers everywhere.Copy !req
393. Tell Bodie we're on his ass.Copy !req
394. I'm sorry for cursing at the door.Copy !req
395. I mean, I couldn't see that it was only you.Copy !req
396. Is it the drugs again?Copy !req
397. Would you like to sit down?Copy !req
398. Preston came to me when my daughter died.Copy !req
399. He was four years old.Copy !req
400. But even then, I knew he was angry.Copy !req
401. His mother lived out there, caught up in it.Copy !req
402. After a while, you couldn't make her
see nothin' else.Copy !req
403. No, man, that wasn't us.Copy !req
404. 2:30 in the towers?
You guys are crazy, man.Copy !req
405. I don't know what you're talkin' about.Copy !req
406. So, how you think you gonna carry it?Copy !req
407. I'm sorry, ma'am.Copy !req
408. And I'm sorry for the way
we came through here.Copy !req
409. If Preston comes past...Copy !req
410. give him this...Copy !req
411. and tell him we need to talk, okay?Copy !req
412. I'm sorry.Copy !req
413. What the fuck you doing in there?Copy !req
414. Talking.Copy !req
415. - Talking?
- Yeah.Copy !req
416. - See you later.
- All right, catch you later.Copy !req
417. I'm driving.Copy !req
418. Yeah?Copy !req
419. McNulty.Copy !req
420. Some judge for you.Copy !req
421. Yeah?Copy !req
422. Look, can I call you back?Copy !req
423. - Major, sir?
- Yeah.Copy !req
424. I've been thinkin'.Copy !req
425. It's a clear violation of the general orders,
I know, but...Copy !req
426. Last night, I'm at home,
I'm sittin' up buck naked.Copy !req
427. And I got one hand wrapped around
a cold domestic beer...Copy !req
428. and the other wrapped around
my magnificent, flaccid...Copy !req
429. four-and-one-half inch wonder,
and I am trying with all my might...Copy !req
430. to remember what Leila Kaufman's nipples
looked like...Copy !req
431. when her bathing top slipped off
at the Hillendale pool swim party.Copy !req
432. - Leila Kaufman?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
433. Summer of '72.Copy !req
434. I got this saucy wench
in my gun-sights, so to speak...Copy !req
435. and I am dangerously...Copy !req
436. close to engorged...Copy !req
437. when all of a fuckin' sudden,
out of fuckin' nowhere...Copy !req
438. fuckin' Detective, fuckin' Jimmy McNulty
pops into my head.Copy !req
439. McNulty?Copy !req
440. Obviously, I gotta open my eyes
and admit to myself...Copy !req
441. that my whole night is ruined.Copy !req
442. At which point, I got nothing to do...Copy !req
443. but think about the problems
of Jimmy McNulty.Copy !req
444. Because, clearly, this guy...Copy !req
445. and his fuckin' problems are standing
between me and all worldly pleasure.Copy !req
446. Clearly.Copy !req
447. First of all, it's not Jimmy's fault.Copy !req
448. - No?
- No.Copy !req
449. Jimmy is an addict, sir.Copy !req
450. What's he addicted to?Copy !req
451. Himself.Copy !req
452. It's not funny, sir.Copy !req
453. As a matter of fact,
it's a fuckin' tragedy is what it is.Copy !req
454. The guy, he has come to believe...Copy !req
455. that he is always the smartest fuck
in the room.Copy !req
456. And you know what? It's not his fault,
because let's face it...Copy !req
457. he's not going to Johns Hopkins
or joining Mensa...Copy !req
458. he's taking a fuckin' job
with the Baltimore Police Department.Copy !req
459. His first two years in Homicide,
he's in Ulmansky's squad...Copy !req
460. partnered with Tony Lamartino.Copy !req
461. Christ, it must've been months even...Copy !req
462. he was the smartest fuck
in the fuckin' room.Copy !req
463. What's your point, Jay?Copy !req
464. My point is...Copy !req
465. he can't help it.Copy !req
466. It makes him an asshole, I know...Copy !req
467. but it's also what makes him good police.Copy !req
468. Last year, he gives me eight clearances.Copy !req
469. One of them was a decomp floater...Copy !req
470. who was John Doe for three weeks.Copy !req
471. Tell your boy to wrap up that bullshit detail
in two weeks.Copy !req
472. He does that, he comes home, clean slate.Copy !req
473. You would've loved it.Copy !req
474. Burrell is sittin' across from me
with a handful ofstreet-level arrests...Copy !req
475. pretendin' he has a plan.Copy !req
476. So, what did you tell him?Copy !req
477. "Never shit a shitter, Deputy. "
That's what I fuckin' told him.Copy !req
478. - I did good, right, Jimmy?
- I gotta go.Copy !req
479. "Discuss the Hicks ruling
as a manifestation...Copy !req
480. "of the judiciary's attempt
to maintain a speedy disposition...Copy !req
481. "of criminal cases within
a modern court system."Copy !req
482. What?Copy !req
483. That's what I said.Copy !req
484. "What?"Copy !req
485. What the hell's the Hicks ruling?Copy !req
486. Did you highlight my sofa?Copy !req
487. What? No.Copy !req
488. Yes, you did.Copy !req
489. That was there from before.Copy !req
490. Hell it was.
Damn, Kima, marker does not come out.Copy !req
491. - No, I didn't do it, I swear.
- Okay, let me see the marker.Copy !req
492. You want my marker,
I need to see a warrant.Copy !req
493. I'm serious, I need to see
some probable cause.Copy !req
494. I'm gonna beat your ass.
How about that for probable cause?Copy !req
495. - Give me the marker.
- Damn, gettin' all violent and shit.Copy !req
496. You know you just violated my civil rights?Copy !req
497. That's it, new rule: no marker on the couch.Copy !req
498. You get over to that table over there
and do your homework.Copy !req
499. Go. Take it and go.Copy !req
500. Gimme my marker.Copy !req
501. I'm gonna need some club soda.Copy !req
502. Damn, girl, this cell phone bill
must eat up the paycheck.Copy !req
503. No, most of that's work,
it's on the company.Copy !req
504. Phelan won't let go.Copy !req
505. Are we anywhere close on Barksdale?Copy !req
506. - No, sir.
- So, what are you telling me?Copy !req
507. I'm not telling you anything, sir.
I'm waiting for you to tell me.Copy !req
508. I can do whatever
you need me to do with this.Copy !req
509. If you want me to push it further,
I can do that.Copy !req
510. If you want it to go away...Copy !req
511. If you wanna bring in someone else,
maybe do things differently.Copy !req
512. You looking for the back door, Lieutenant?Copy !req
513. Already?Copy !req
514. McNulty says this case needs a wire.Copy !req
515. You think he's right?Copy !req
516. It needs somethin'.Copy !req
517. Just climb your ass up the pole, man.Copy !req
518. No, man. This'll work.Copy !req
519. I'm not climbin' no damn ladder.Copy !req
520. You never gonna hit it, man.Copy !req
521. Bomb!Copy !req
522. - Housing must think we just dumb.
- Is that—Copy !req
523. - That's your pager or mine?
- That's me.Copy !req
524. - Yo, watch that shit on my head.
- Man, it ricocheted off the fuckin' camera.Copy !req
525. Yeah, you need some aim.Copy !req
526. Yo, who this?Copy !req
527. So, what do you think?Copy !req
528. Title 3?Copy !req
529. Right, but it's not for a wiretap.
It's to clone a pager, I got it from Pearlman.Copy !req
530. - Pagers?
- Some kind of throwback thing.Copy !req
531. - You mean, why not cell phones?
- Right. Who uses pagers anymore?Copy !req
532. Tell you what, I was checking out
a wireless bill last night.Copy !req
533. Every incoming call was listed.Copy !req
534. Right. So, if we get Barksdale's pager,
we might get off the street.Copy !req
535. Maybe even trace some supply.Copy !req
536. So, who's No-Heart Anthony?Copy !req
537. No-Heart ran drugs in the homes
in the early '90s.Copy !req
538. So, a couple years back, I don't know why...Copy !req
539. he finds himself in Randallstown,
tryin' to take off a jewelry store.Copy !req
540. He fucks it up, half the county
chases him back downtown.Copy !req
541. And I guess No-Heart figures
he's not up for doing the time...Copy !req
542. 'cause he puts a.44 against his chest,
pulls the trigger.Copy !req
543. A.44?Copy !req
544. It's a contact wound.Copy !req
545. Wakes up two hours later
in the University ER.Copy !req
546. - With a new nickname.
- Right.Copy !req
547. Bubbles says it's Anthony's brother...Copy !req
548. who took off with the Barksdale stash
the other night.Copy !req
549. Dude named Omar.Copy !req
550. It's not the easiest trade, you know,
robbin' dealers.Copy !req
551. Man like that is likely to have
a weapon on him.Copy !req
552. We jack him up, there's a charge to work off.Copy !req
553. And if he knows where
the Barksdale stash is...Copy !req
554. he probably knows a whole lot more.Copy !req
555. See? Another plan.Copy !req
556. The thing is, we're gonna have to sell this.Copy !req
557. You wanna raise it with Daniels?Copy !req
558. He'll listen to you more than me.Copy !req
559. Where's Santangelo?Copy !req
560. He's at ECU. He's got a case going today.Copy !req
561. As of today, I haven't heard anything
to the contrary, so...Copy !req
562. we're gonna press on.Copy !req
563. Ideas?Copy !req
564. We could continue with the busts.Copy !req
565. But I don't think that's gonna
get us too far off the street.Copy !req
566. On the other hand, the people we pulled in
last week had pagers.Copy !req
567. So did D'Angelo Barksdale
when McNulty jacked him up.Copy !req
568. We could clone a couple of pagers,
see where that takes us.Copy !req
569. - Clone what?
- Their pagers.Copy !req
570. They get beeped, we get beeped.
We see who's calling, from what number.Copy !req
571. If they're all that,
why are they still using pagers?Copy !req
572. Why not un-ass a few dollars
for cell phones?Copy !req
573. It's a discipline.Copy !req
574. You can't bug a pager.Copy !req
575. But you can't make a call
with a pager, either.Copy !req
576. You're gonna want a pen register
on all the payphones in the low-rises...Copy !req
577. and any other phones
that link to the pagers.Copy !req
578. What would it take to do the pagers?Copy !req
579. A wiretap affidavit.Copy !req
580. I think we got enough PC
from the hand-to-hands and surveillance.Copy !req
581. We got most of the exhaustion.Copy !req
582. I'm exhausted just listening to this shit.Copy !req
583. Good. Exhaustion is a legal requirement
for using electronic intercepts.Copy !req
584. We gotta prove nothing else works.Copy !req
585. See, we did the raids, we made the arrests,
but nobody flipped.Copy !req
586. We don't have an informant
who takes us anywhere above the street.Copy !req
587. That's pretty much exhaustion.Copy !req
588. All we got left to do now
is follow one of these mopes...Copy !req
589. and prove to ourselves we can't do it.Copy !req
590. We try to show a judge we can't make...Copy !req
591. the case by following these guys,
and we can't.Copy !req
592. How can we keep on any of them
when they're in those towers?Copy !req
593. But you gotta show you tried.Copy !req
594. Do we have a pager number?Copy !req
595. This was written on the stash house wall...Copy !req
596. with the letter "D" next to it.Copy !req
597. Is that D'Angelo? Did you check it?Copy !req
598. It's him.Copy !req
599. Let's do this.Copy !req
600. What does he want us to do?
I don't understand.Copy !req
601. I'll explain it to you if you buy me breakfast.Copy !req
602. Will you explain to me again...Copy !req
603. why I'm about to rework
a six-month-old crime scene?Copy !req
604. Look at this narrow-ass file.
Keeley didn't do shit on this.Copy !req
605. He did the scene, though.Copy !req
606. This is Keeley we're talking about.Copy !req
607. Fucking Jay and his leaps of logic.Copy !req
608. This case is nowhere near
anything we're doing.Copy !req
609. So? Give it a shake or two anyhow.Copy !req
610. - Make a sergeant happy.
- Whatever.Copy !req
611. Do you know Lester Freamon?Copy !req
612. A little. Why?Copy !req
613. He's with us on this Barksdale thing.Copy !req
614. I thought you said they gave you humps.Copy !req
615. He looks like a hump, he acts like a hump,
sittin' there, playing with his toy furniture.Copy !req
616. Jimmy, he makes more money off of
that shit than you do off of this job.Copy !req
617. - Don't let Lester fool you.
- He did already.Copy !req
618. Today in roll call, he showed something.Copy !req
619. Hey, he's natural police.Copy !req
620. He used to be Homicide.Copy !req
621. - Why did he leave?
- Ask him.Copy !req
622. - This is the one?
- Yup. Hasn't been rented since.Copy !req
623. Fuck.Copy !req
624. Motherfucker.Copy !req
625. Fucking fuck.Copy !req
626. Fuck.Copy !req
627. Fuck.Copy !req
628. What the fuck?Copy !req
629. Fuck.Copy !req
630. Fuck.Copy !req
631. - No.
- Fuck.Copy !req
632. Fuck it.Copy !req
633. Fuck.Copy !req
634. Motherfuck.Copy !req
635. Fuck.Copy !req
636. Fuckity, fuck, fuck.Copy !req
637. Fuck.Copy !req
638. Fuck.Copy !req
639. Motherfucker.Copy !req
640. Fuckin' A.Copy !req
641. Fuck.Copy !req
642. Check this.Copy !req
643. Motherfucker.Copy !req
644. Fuck me.Copy !req
645. Sydnor's on foot, Carv's in the car...Copy !req
646. Herc, you need to be
on top of the roof behind Amity.Copy !req
647. Again, I get the shit detail?Copy !req
648. The plan is to stay on D'Angelo.Copy !req
649. If we lose him, we lose him, right?Copy !req
650. We're gonna lose him.Copy !req
651. You can't follow people in the towers.Copy !req
652. You can't hang in the low-rises
unless you got a reason.Copy !req
653. Just to make sure,
we want to lose him, right?Copy !req
654. Losin' him is good?Copy !req
655. Right.Copy !req
656. Then why the fuck do this?Copy !req
657. Come on, Herc.
Roll with me on this one, all right?Copy !req
658. So, you're police after all.Copy !req
659. You know what you doing,
but you ain't been doing it.Copy !req
660. How long you been in the Pawnshop unit?Copy !req
661. 13 years and four months.Copy !req
662. - 13 years?
- And four months.Copy !req
663. I gotta ask you...Copy !req
664. what exactly does a police officer assigned
to the Pawnshop unit do?Copy !req
665. You intake reports
from registered pawnshops...Copy !req
666. on all items valued over $50.Copy !req
667. Then you make an index card for that item.Copy !req
668. Then you file that index card.Copy !req
669. If someone wants to find out
if something stolen was pawned...Copy !req
670. we see if we have an index card.Copy !req
671. If we do, we do, if we don't, we don't.Copy !req
672. - You did that for 13 years?
- And four months.Copy !req
673. Why'd you ask out of Homicide?Copy !req
674. Wasn't no ask about it.Copy !req
675. You got the boot?Copy !req
676. What'd you do to piss them off?Copy !req
677. Police work.Copy !req
678. I think I need to buy you a drink.Copy !req
679. Just one?Copy !req
680. Caught this case in a Brooklyn home
in the summer of '87.Copy !req
681. 80-year-old woman, stabbed up...Copy !req
682. nightgown, in bed,
forced window, rear entry.Copy !req
683. Worked it for a couple of weeks.Copy !req
684. Got the names of two squirrels
over in Curtis Bay.Copy !req
685. Squirrel number one gives it up...Copy !req
686. and tries to put all the weight
on squirrel number two.Copy !req
687. Back up the statements?Copy !req
688. Print it on the rear window for number two...Copy !req
689. another one for number one
on the medicine chest.Copy !req
690. So, it's down, yeah?Copy !req
691. Even better when squirrel number one
drives it by the house...Copy !req
692. where they fenced the old lady's shit:Copy !req
693. clock-radio, TV, toaster oven.Copy !req
694. So, what's the problem?Copy !req
695. The problem is the fence.Copy !req
696. Turned out he was the son
of one of the big editors...Copy !req
697. over at the News America.Copy !req
698. This man is running
the afternoon newspaper...Copy !req
699. and his son is getting all fucked up...Copy !req
700. doin' the dirt and getting high
down in Locust Point.Copy !req
701. The deputy, who I guess
is in a favor-doin' mood...Copy !req
702. sends word down to the major...Copy !req
703. I'm supposed to make
the case without the fence.Copy !req
704. Just the print hits and the statement.
Play it like that.Copy !req
705. So, he's doin' this for what?Copy !req
706. To have some newspaper guy in his pocket?Copy !req
707. Yeah, I guess so.Copy !req
708. Is this Burrell?Copy !req
709. No, no, Mueller. Deputy Ops before Burrell.Copy !req
710. So, what did you do?Copy !req
711. What do you think I did?Copy !req
712. I charged him with receiving,
then had his ass testify.Copy !req
713. You could've made the case without him.
Just on the prints and the statements.Copy !req
714. Probably, yup.Copy !req
715. Why didn't you?Copy !req
716. Why?Copy !req
717. Why are you fuckin' up yourself
chasing Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
718. A week after trial ends, Major comes to me...Copy !req
719. asks me where I want to go.Copy !req
720. I tell him, I don't care,
I like to be outside, you know?Copy !req
721. Give me a goddamn foot-post...Copy !req
722. I'll still make my money, you know...Copy !req
723. send my ass up to Edmondson Avenue,
I don't give a shit.Copy !req
724. You went to a foot-post?Copy !req
725. Major come back,
asks me where I don't want to go.Copy !req
726. And he asks it like
he wanna make sure I land okay.Copy !req
727. So, I tell him, I don't want
no fuckin' paper-shuffle.Copy !req
728. No office shit.Copy !req
729. Send my black ass outside
and let me police somewhere.Copy !req
730. Pawnshop unit.Copy !req
731. They got me good.Copy !req
732. So, why'd they let you out of the box?
Why now?Copy !req
733. I guess they just forgot about me.Copy !req
734. Shit, Lester.Copy !req
735. You back from the dead?Copy !req
736. You rolled away the stone.Copy !req
737. Bunk Moreland says you're natural police.
One of the few.Copy !req
738. Yeah, I've had my moments.Copy !req
739. Detective...Copy !req
740. when they ask you where you wanna go...Copy !req
741. and they are gonna ask you
where you wanna go...Copy !req
742. do yourself a favor...Copy !req
743. keep your mouth shut.Copy !req
744. I gotta take a tinkle, boy.Copy !req
745. - I got it.
- All right.Copy !req
746. Hello.Copy !req
747. - Is Kima there?
- And you are?Copy !req
748. Tell her it's McNulty.Copy !req
749. For you, Kima,
a decidedly confused white boy.Copy !req
750. God.Copy !req
751. How'd it go today?Copy !req
752. Lost him in the 221.Copy !req
753. Picked him back up in the low-rises...Copy !req
754. and then lost him
on Schroeder Street after dark.Copy !req
755. Nicely done.Copy !req
756. - Are you okay to drive?
- Yeah, I'm fine.Copy !req
757. I just wanted to thank you.Copy !req
758. For what?Copy !req
759. For today, you know, with Daniels.Copy !req
760. - You should be thanking Lester.
- I did.Copy !req
761. I just wanted to thank you, too,
Detective Greggs.Copy !req
762. No problem. Good night.Copy !req
763. That it is.Copy !req
764. What'd I miss?Copy !req
765. Nothin' much.Copy !req
766. Lovelorn?Copy !req
767. Worse. Lonely.Copy !req
768. You didn't make it into class again today.Copy !req
769. You said you'd stick with it.Copy !req
