97. What?Copy !req
98. Forget it.Copy !req
99. 142 isn't a working telephone exchange.Copy !req
100. Six intercepts so far,
and five aren't working numbers?Copy !req
101. Something wrong with the recorder?Copy !req
102. We're getting what you'd expect,
seven digits of a telephone number...Copy !req
103. and a two-digit add-on to identify the caller,
like here, 13.Copy !req
104. McNulty, line one.Copy !req
105. - Yeah.
- Did you just get a 142 exchange?Copy !req
106. Yeah, that's what we got, too.Copy !req
107. - That's fucked up.
- All right, later.Copy !req
108. He's got the same numbers
on the readout of the cloned pagers.Copy !req
109. So it's not the recorder.Copy !req
110. These mopes are using a code
to cover their calls?Copy !req
111. - That's pretty damn sophisticated.
- What is?Copy !req
112. They've coded the telephone numbers
in their pager messages.Copy !req
113. How do you know?Copy !req
114. Every time the Barksdale kid's pager
goes off...Copy !req
115. this machine gives us a message and time.Copy !req
116. McNulty's carrying a cloned pager,
but this is what we use in court.Copy !req
117. Same with those pen registers.Copy !req
118. Every time a pay phone
in the low-rise court is used...Copy !req
119. we get the telephone number,
the time and the duration of the call.Copy !req
120. Incoming calls, too.Copy !req
121. Spy shit. Very cool.Copy !req
122. You say they're using some kind of code?Copy !req
123. Yeah, they got to be.
These numbers don't make no fuckin' sense.Copy !req
124. - You rang?
- Omar's ride.Copy !req
125. Bubbles spotted it.Copy !req
126. Different tags, no stolen report,
these come back right for the van...Copy !req
127. but Bubs makes it
by the cargo rack on the roof.Copy !req
128. Good scope. You wanna take him?Copy !req
129. Can't hurt to try.Copy !req
130. We pop Omar, get a gun,
he might let us work him.Copy !req
131. Anything coming through on the pager?Copy !req
132. Eight hits so far,
most of them in some kind of code.Copy !req
133. These ain't Baltimore exchanges,
that's for sure.Copy !req
134. Three weeks to get Daniels to agree,
a week to write out the affidavit...Copy !req
135. and then this bullshit.Copy !req
136. How complex a code can it be
if these knuckleheads are using it?Copy !req
137. Then again, what does it say
about us if we can't break it?Copy !req
138. You wanna run Bubs back downtown,
I'll sit here and wait for you.Copy !req
139. All right.Copy !req
140. - What'd I miss, girlfriend?
- Not a goddamn thing.Copy !req
141. Yeah, boring, ain't we?Copy !req
142. How y'all do what you do every day
and not wanna get high?Copy !req
143. That's what I be asking.Copy !req
144. It's been a little hectic down here,
right, cuz?Copy !req
145. String, man, I can't lie.Copy !req
146. Them stick-up boys,
they caught us dead up.Copy !req
147. And the knockos, shit,
I don't know what the fuck that was.Copy !req
148. 5-0. Comin' up!Copy !req
149. - 5-0 comin' up, y'all.
- Time-out.Copy !req
150. - C'mon, man, what is that?
- What?Copy !req
151. You gotta get your crew
to understand that...Copy !req
152. it's the stick-up crews and the creepers...Copy !req
153. that give us the most trouble.Copy !req
154. When they start thinking like that...Copy !req
155. you're not gonna have any more surprises,
you feel me?Copy !req
156. 'Cause you know, your uncle and me...Copy !req
157. we think you got a snitch up in the shop.Copy !req
158. - What?
- Someone who tips off the stick-up crew.Copy !req
159. And you gotta be on that, right?
You gotta be on that.Copy !req
160. I'm gonna tell you what you do.Copy !req
161. What day is it today, Friday?Copy !req
162. What happen on Friday?Copy !req
163. - Payday.
- Not this Friday.Copy !req
164. Why not?Copy !req
165. No, what you gonna do
is you gonna call 'em...Copy !req
166. like you gonna pay 'em
and then you crack 'em.Copy !req
167. You tell 'em you're not happy...Copy !req
168. with what they fuckin' pass
as work down here.Copy !req
169. And when you're not happy,
they ain't gettin' paid. You feel me?Copy !req
170. Yeah, but String, you don't pay a nigger,
he ain't gonna work for you.Copy !req
171. What, you think a nigger's gonna get a job?Copy !req
172. You think these niggers
gonna be like, "Fuck it...Copy !req
173. "let me quit this game here
and go to college"?Copy !req
174. Naw, they gonna buck a little,
but they not gonna walk.Copy !req
175. - And in the end, you gonna get respect.
- Yeah.Copy !req
176. And when that money run out,
they'll come up to you and roll on you...Copy !req
177. And when that money run out,
they'll come up to you and roll on you...Copy !req
178. and ask you for an advance and shit,
when they flat-ass broke.Copy !req
179. Them the niggers
that you strike off your list.Copy !req
180. But that nigger that stay eatin'...Copy !req
181. the nigger that steady rollin',
ain't askin' you for shit...Copy !req

to hear about. Understand?Copy !req

393. - I fucked up, man.
- Yeah, I saw.Copy !req
394. - I fucked up, man.
- Yeah, I saw.Copy !req

398. They say I got the bug.Copy !req
399. The bug?Copy !req

411. - What, you get locked up or something?
- No, come on.Copy !req
412. No, I'm not working for them.
I'm working with them.Copy !req
413. They don't give me the badge soon enough,
I keep doing like I do.Copy !req
414. Why?Copy !req
415. What do you mean why?
How can you ask me why?Copy !req
416. Why the fuck are you in here, man,
with all these falling-down motherfuckers?Copy !req
417. Why you passing shit through a bag?Copy !req
418. Why they beat you down?Copy !req
419. Why I couldn't do nothing about it?Copy !req
420. It's all part of the game, right?Copy !req
421. I mean, you taught me that.Copy !req
422. What you up to in here, man?Copy !req
423. - Doing the meetings.

424. Yeah. Twice a day.Copy !req
425. That's good, man. It's good,

427. Guess so.Copy !req
428. I'll be getting out of here
the end of the month.Copy !req
429. It's all right. They got meetings everywhere.Copy !req
430. You ain't gotta worry about that.Copy !req
431. Bubs.Copy !req
432. Who's got the best package now?Copy !req
433. - Get the fuck out of here, man.
- I'm coming home, right?Copy !req
434. Shit is weak all over, you know?Copy !req
435. Got some boys up in Baker
and Calhoun, though.Copy !req
436. They had a smoker out
the other day though.Copy !req
437. - Yeah?
- Knocked a couple of niggers out.Copy !req
438. Ain't you a trip?Copy !req
439. Beat down, bagged up,
still ready to rip and run, huh?Copy !req
440. I'm a Viking, homes.Copy !req
441. "I'm a Viking, homes."Copy !req
442. McNulty.Copy !req
443. There's something here that needs kissing.Copy !req
444. Speak again, toothless one.Copy !req
445. I guess you know now why I wear
the stripes in the family.Copy !req
446. Good call, Jay. Of course, if Keeley
hadn't fucked the scene up...Copy !req
447. you'd have had that casing
months ago, right?Copy !req
448. Keeley. Let Keeley be Keeley.Copy !req
449. We all can't be princes
of the city, now can we?Copy !req
450. Speaking of which...Copy !req
451. sit down.Copy !req
452. May I ask you a question
that is essential to your career?Copy !req
453. - What?
- Who do you serve?Copy !req
454. I am asking you to identify for the record
your commanding officer.Copy !req
455. - Major Rawls.
- Excellent.Copy !req
456. And with that thought in mind, I advise you
to go immediately into the Major's office...Copy !req
457. carrying the break
I've given you in the Kresson case...Copy !req
458. and kiss the man's ring. Because...Copy !req
459. I have talked you right out of the shithouse.Copy !req
460. Here's the deal.Copy !req
461. You wrap up this thing
with Narcotics in two weeks.Copy !req
462. You put yourself back in the rotation
when we go back to night work.Copy !req
463. You do that and you're back in the fold.Copy !req
464. - Thanks, Jay.
- No problem.Copy !req
465. Shit ain't right.Copy !req
466. You work, you get paid.Copy !req
467. That's what I'm saying.Copy !req
468. I'm gonna say something to him, all right?Copy !req
469. - You should.
- Truth.Copy !req
470. - What's up, Dee?
- What's up, Shorty?Copy !req
471. $530, the count is right, man.Copy !req
472. Okay, re-ups on the way down.Copy !req
473. Go tell Sterling to be ready for it.Copy !req
474. All right. Yo, Dee, man.Copy !req
475. You know, me and Poot,
we been steady working it, you know?Copy !req
476. Nothing sloppy, no troubles, right?Copy !req
477. No.Copy !req
478. And we was wondering if, maybe you could
let a little something go...Copy !req
479. until payday, 'cause you know, right now,
we some broke-ass niggers, man.Copy !req
480. Right now, whoever did our girl...Copy !req
481. also did Boyd and Leggett a month earlier.Copy !req
482. - Leggett.
- And those two are definitely...Copy !req
483. straight-up drug executions.Copy !req
484. No mention of Dee in either file.Copy !req
485. But I did get a fresh number...Copy !req
486. - on Tywanda.
- Who?Copy !req
487. The girl who called in on Kresson.Copy !req
488. - Right.
- She put Dee in for that.Copy !req
489. Have you seen this?Copy !req
490. Jaybird.Copy !req
491. And the bear said, "You didn't
really come here to hunt now, did you?"Copy !req
492. - You see Saturday's 24s?
- Sunday morning.Copy !req
493. Did you see the one Worden
got on the Westside?Copy !req
494. John Bailey, in a Kevlar vest,
lit up by three separate shooters.Copy !req
495. Carey Street.Copy !req
496. You made the Kresson connection...Copy !req
497. you didn't think Bailey might tie in
with Barksdale?Copy !req
498. Worden's on the other shift.
I'm trying to work my murders, Jesus Christ.Copy !req
499. Tony, Line 3.Copy !req
500. What took you so long?Copy !req
501. You might've heard, we get a few murders
here in Baltimore...Copy !req
502. sometimes we just get backed up.Copy !req
503. - You weren't followed here?
- Why would we be followed?Copy !req
504. Diedre was playing with scary people.Copy !req
505. Who might that be?Copy !req
506. You called this in after the murder
and you told the detective...Copy !req
507. that you talked to her
the night she was killed.Copy !req
508. She called. It was late.Copy !req
509. She didn't talk long, she said she had to go.
Dee was at the door.Copy !req
510. And that was the last time
you spoke with her?Copy !req
511. - Yeah, she was killed that night.
- Dee was her boyfriend?Copy !req
512. No, Dee was his nephew or something.Copy !req
513. Dee would be D'Angelo Barksdale.Copy !req
514. And the boyfriend, Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
515. And the boyfriend, Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
516. You know Avon?Copy !req
517. The question is how do you know him?Copy !req
518. You out there running
the street with the players?Copy !req
519. I used to be...Copy !req
520. but not after this thing with Diedre.
I mean, damn.Copy !req
521. We used to go to Odell's for ladies' nights...Copy !req
522. and one time he was there with all
his people in one of the big booths...Copy !req
523. ordering drinks,
acting like he was king of everything.Copy !req
524. And Diedre ate that shit up.Copy !req
525. - And you?
- I ain't gonna lie.Copy !req
526. I did the club thing for a while, but...Copy !req
527. some of those places,
everybody in there's on some kind of game.Copy !req
528. But Diedre went with Avon?Copy !req
529. She was with Avon for like a year...Copy !req
530. and something happened. Toward the end,
she started getting real possessive...Copy !req
531. and that didn't sit with Avon,
'cause he has other girls, too.Copy !req
532. She started bitching on him one minute...Copy !req
533. crying the next minute,
threatening to do all kinds of things.Copy !req
534. - She threatened Avon Barksdale?
- The girl was off the hook.Copy !req
535. One time, she threatened
to write a letter on him.Copy !req
536. - A letter.
- A letter to the state's attorney.Copy !req
537. Supposed to be some sort of kin to her.Copy !req
538. She said that if he dumped her...Copy !req
539. she was gonna tell about the drugs.Copy !req
540. - Did she write this letter?
- I don't know.Copy !req
541. I tried talking to her about the way she
was acting, but she wouldn't let it go.Copy !req
542. She even had it out with him in his club
one night in front of all the people.Copy !req
543. What, Avon has a club?Copy !req
544. Orlando's, titty bar.Copy !req
545. - Does he own it?
- That's what Diedre said.Copy !req
546. She said he owned a whole mess of stuff.Copy !req
547. - Tell me something, man.
- What's that?Copy !req
548. How can you run this place
and not just OD on pussy?Copy !req
549. Shit.Copy !req
550. You try dealing with all these bitches
and their problems for a few days.Copy !req
551. Get so you'd rather be running a goddamn
laundromat out this fucker.Copy !req
552. Heard you're doing okay in the Pit.Copy !req
553. - Yeah, well.
- What, you ain't getting it like that?Copy !req
554. Man, my uncle
still got me working on salary.Copy !req
555. Damn, boy.Copy !req
556. You ain't the only one
your uncle keeps close.Copy !req
557. What?Copy !req
558. Come on, man, you ain't making no ends?Copy !req
559. I know you getting
something on this by now.Copy !req
560. No, man.Copy !req
561. I'm just the front,
clean name for the liquor board.Copy !req
562. - I'm saying—
- What the fuck?Copy !req
563. Is there a problem?
That was for the drink before.Copy !req
564. It was for this one.Copy !req
565. It ain't like I'm calling your uncle out
or nothing...Copy !req
566. but give a nigger a chance.
Plenty of pie out there for everybody.Copy !req
567. Believe.Copy !req
568. You heard Stinkum gonna be coming off
the clock, right? Getting a percentage.Copy !req
569. - What?
- Open up fresh territory.Copy !req
570. Take over the corners
down near Edmondson and Brice.Copy !req
571. So, my uncle gave that to Stink?Copy !req
572. Figured you knew.Copy !req
573. Orlando!Copy !req
574. Excuse me, Orlando,
can you help me down here, please?Copy !req
575. - I already paid for that last drink.
- That was for the drink before.Copy !req
576. - Hell, no, that was for this one.
- What's up here?Copy !req
577. Look, he ain't paid for that drink
and I took $20 off the bar.Copy !req
578. - Look she took $20, then $20 more.
- Hell I did.Copy !req
579. Come on, now, why you
gonna do me like this?Copy !req
580. I been with you for an hour and a half
buying drinks.Copy !req
581. Look, man, this ain't right.
I just spent $120 in drinks, $40 in tips.Copy !req
582. Now, you gonna take all that
and still try to sneak into my pocket?Copy !req
583. - Shit, girl!
- You got to go, get him the fuck outta here.Copy !req
584. I ain't done so much as touch your kneecap.Copy !req
585. Trying to treat her with a little respect,
and this is the way you do me?Copy !req
586. Wait, wait!Copy !req
587. Why you do that?Copy !req
588. - Did you take his money?
- No, I didn't take his money.Copy !req
589. You buying me a drink?Copy !req
590. Can I see you sometime?Copy !req
591. Like, you know, not in here.Copy !req
592. I don't usually see men that I meet in here.Copy !req
593. Usually.Copy !req
594. What kind of strip joint has
a video camera looking out?Copy !req
595. More to it than the girls, maybe.Copy !req
596. So, he's got the club,
he's got the warehouse...Copy !req
597. he's got the apartment building
by Druid Hill Lake...Copy !req
598. he's got the tow truck company...Copy !req
599. and that's just what she knew from
what he bragged about to the dead girl.Copy !req
600. - Major likes assets.
- The Deputy, too, I imagine.Copy !req
601. Nothing like a few property forfeitures
to swell the departmental operation budget.Copy !req
602. Check city assessments to see
who owns the club.Copy !req
603. Run the company name through
the state corporate charter office.Copy !req
604. Also, Homicide picked up one
Saturday night. Might be one of ours.Copy !req
605. John Bailey, he's a stick-up artist
I used to know from the Murphy homes.Copy !req
606. He was wearing Kevlar, but it didn't help.Copy !req
607. 39 casings on the scene,
from three different guns.Copy !req
608. Overkill for a burn bag...Copy !req
609. but about right if he was running with Omar.Copy !req
610. Lookit, our buddy.Copy !req
611. Just once, I wish they'd use
the right number.Copy !req
612. Ain't like him to be late.Copy !req
613. Bailey, you fucking dope fiend.
I'm telling you...Copy !req
614. them fucking people ain't to be relied on.Copy !req
615. Why you always gotta talk like that, man?Copy !req
616. - What?
- "F" this and "f" that.Copy !req
617. If I give it up,
I lose half of what I mean to say.Copy !req
618. Don't nobody want
to hear them dirty words, man.Copy !req
619. Especially coming from
such a beautiful mouth.Copy !req
620. Wait for Bailey?Copy !req
621. Early bird catches the worm, dog.Copy !req
622. - I beeped you.
- I didn't get it.Copy !req
623. - Let me see.
- You want to see my pager?Copy !req
624. Sure, Prez, you want to see my pager?Copy !req
625. - I beeped you too.
- You all right, Prez?Copy !req
626. 714-3432?Copy !req
627. I got that. That was you?Copy !req
628. You try it?Copy !req
629. Yeah, I tried it. Twice.Copy !req
630. Non-working number.Copy !req
631. It would've worked if you knew the code.Copy !req
632. Shit, I'm as surprised as you.Copy !req
633. I like word-search puzzles.Copy !req
634. You know, where you gotta
find the hidden words?Copy !req
635. So, I thought I could do the same thing
with the numbers.Copy !req
636. Take the number I sent you.Copy !req
637. Now, take the seven
and jump it over the five.Copy !req
638. You get three.Copy !req
639. Jump the one over the five...Copy !req
640. you get nine.Copy !req
641. With four you get six.Copy !req
642. Three, that's seven, four is six...Copy !req
643. a three again...Copy !req
644. and two is eight.Copy !req
645. Zero switches with the five.Copy !req
646. So 714-3432 is...Copy !req
647. 396-7678.Copy !req
648. Our number.Copy !req
649. And that's the code?Copy !req
650. And it works, because it's all about
where the buttons are on a phone.Copy !req
651. If it was a code that involved math...Copy !req
652. or algebra or whatever...Copy !req
653. these little yos in the projects
wouldn't be able to follow along.Copy !req
654. But with this, all you gotta do
is jump the five button.Copy !req
655. Ain't no math to it. It's just...Copy !req
656. how a phone looks when you look at it.Copy !req
657. Prez, you little genius!Copy !req
658. - Jesus.
- I could kill you, that's so good.Copy !req
659. Your mother keep ragging at me...Copy !req
660. to take him outta here and put him
in a private nursing home.Copy !req
661. You know, she ain't never gonna let that go.Copy !req
662. I keep telling her, man, we can't show
this legit money yet, man...Copy !req
663. especially since he ain't got no insurance.Copy !req
664. Soon, though.Copy !req
665. So, you ain't big on coming here, right?Copy !req
666. No.Copy !req
667. Tell you something, man...Copy !req
668. you about to see your uncle,
you understand me?Copy !req
669. - This is family.
- I know.Copy !req
670. Family is what counts,
family is what it's about.Copy !req
671. Family gonna always be there
'cause it's blood.Copy !req
672. Man.Copy !req
673. You never figured on this, did you?Copy !req
674. Live the life, lead the life. Ain't no big thing.Copy !req
675. He used to talk that shit all the time and he
believed it, you know what I'm saying?Copy !req
676. What's up, baby, talk that shit now.Copy !req
677. You know, you're right.
It's kind of hard to be in here right now.Copy !req
678. He scare you, don't he?Copy !req
679. - You know, I'm just saying—
- He scares me.Copy !req
680. See, if he dead, you know,
I could carry it better.Copy !req
681. Coming up the way we did,
you kind of expect that.Copy !req
682. Waiting on it.Copy !req
683. See...Copy !req
684. the thing is, you only got to fuck up once.Copy !req
685. Be a little slow, be a little late. Just once.Copy !req
686. And how you ain't gonna never be slow...Copy !req
687. never be late?Copy !req
688. You can't plan for no shit like this, man.Copy !req
689. It's life.Copy !req
690. Scares me.Copy !req
691. They're still using it.
I was by on Saturday night and it was gone.Copy !req
692. On your own time?Copy !req
693. You still getting your boys?Copy !req
694. Yeah, tonight for a sleep-over.Copy !req
695. Omar's rolling.Copy !req
696. What the hell?Copy !req
697. Call for backup?Copy !req
698. Not yet.Copy !req
699. Let's see how it plays out.Copy !req
700. An invitation.Copy !req
701. Feel a little lonesome for backup.Copy !req
702. Yeah, me, too.Copy !req
703. That's nice.Copy !req
704. - I'll check the rear.
- I'll watch the boys.Copy !req
705. Afternoon, gentlemen.Copy !req
706. Saying, if you were gonna use that
you would've been done using it by now.Copy !req
707. It's clean.Copy !req
708. Got to keep it clean.Copy !req
709. We having one of our little parlays like this,
got to keep it clean, right?Copy !req
710. Omar with no gun on the street?
Must be a first.Copy !req
711. Yeah, sometimes
who you are is enough, dog.Copy !req
712. But being as y'all sitting on my ride so long,
I thought I'd save y'all some time.Copy !req
713. Come straight on out.Copy !req
714. I ain't taking no charge.
You ain't putting me back in no cage.Copy !req
715. We're not here to bury you, Omar.Copy !req
716. We're pulling you up 'cause
we got a problem in common.Copy !req
717. - Problem?
- Barksdale.Copy !req
718. - No, he ain't no problem.
- I don't know.Copy !req
719. Avon's been chalking up a lot of bodies.
And you being you...Copy !req
720. Put it that way,
I guess he could be a little problem...Copy !req
721. but I just can't really come out
and help you all.Copy !req
722. You know what I mean?Copy !req
723. Snitchin' just rubs me wrong.Copy !req
724. Personally, I don't think
the game is played like that.Copy !req
725. We respect that.Copy !req
726. If you do happen to take a charge though...Copy !req
727. I'm McNulty, that's Greggs.Copy !req
728. You give us a call, we'll sort something out.Copy !req
729. Fair enough.Copy !req
730. You know, I used to work the homes,
back when your brother was up there.Copy !req
731. You get a chance...Copy !req
732. let him know they blew up
John Bailey last night.Copy !req
733. Good man.Copy !req
734. Lot of enemies.Copy !req
735. Saying, you trying to catch up with Bird?Copy !req
736. Word is he dropped a workin' man.Copy !req
737. Wait, hold up. Come on, don't play me.Copy !req
738. What workin' man, what Bird?Copy !req
739. Come on, now,
ain't but one working man, now, is there?Copy !req
740. And Bird?
I think your snitch can handle that.Copy !req
741. Shit, Bubbles know Bird.Copy !req
742. You working late?Copy !req
743. A little.Copy !req
744. Got a minute?Copy !req
745. Sure, have a seat.Copy !req
746. No, this is better said standing up.Copy !req
747. You know, I've been 13 years on the shelf.
I ain't bitched.Copy !req
748. It was me that put me there.Copy !req
749. But I'm here now, and I gotta say a piece.Copy !req
750. We should've had a tap
on the project pay phones by now.Copy !req
751. A wire there will get us the drugs.Copy !req
752. Keep pushing,
we'll get a whiff of the money, too.Copy !req
753. I know you're serious
about climbing that career ladder...Copy !req
754. and I know how slippery
it gets the higher you go...Copy !req
755. but for me...Copy !req
756. I don't want to go to no dance
unless I can rub some tit.Copy !req
757. I appreciate your honesty.Copy !req
758. Good night, Lieutenant.Copy !req
