126. You was at the meeting
over at Samuel Morse.Copy !req
127. Mr. One-Day Man. It wasn't even that.Copy !req
128. Stood up, though.Copy !req
129. Why you down at the tester line
if you ain't chasing?Copy !req
130. Trying to get my little nephew

132. Try to keep him clean at my grandma's.Copy !req
133. He ain't anywhere near his bottom.Copy !req
134. Got to see that bottom coming up at him.Copy !req
135. Hard, too, 'cause he's young, 24.Copy !req
136. Most people don't get tired
till they're 35, 40.Copy !req
137. - How old are you?
- Young at heart.Copy !req
138. Walon, man.Copy !req
139. Bubs.Copy !req
140. Give them a long rope.Copy !req
141. The farther away from the projects
you pop him, the less risk to the wire.Copy !req
142. Hell with the wire.Copy !req
143. Excuse me?Copy !req
144. Gotcha, McNulty, you're too easy.Copy !req
145. You can come at this a few ways.Copy !req
146. First thing is we need the names
of all front companies...Copy !req
147. Iimited partnerships,
LLCs, and all that mess.Copy !req
148. - LLCs?
- Limited liability corporations.Copy !req
149. Start with the nightclub
which Barksdale owns.Copy !req
150. Look up Orlando's, by address, you
match it, and you see it's owned by who?Copy !req
151. It's on Baltimore Street, right?Copy !req
152. Got it. D & B enterprises.Copy !req
153. Give it to Prez,
who's going to get off his ass...Copy !req
154. and walk on over to
the state office buildings on Preston Street.Copy !req
155. - Preston Street?
- Corporate charter office.Copy !req
156. Corporate who?Copy !req
157. They have the paperwork
on every corporation and LLC...Copy !req
158. Iicensed to do business in the state.Copy !req
159. You look up D & B Enterprises
on the computer.Copy !req
160. You're going to get a little reel of microfilm.Copy !req
161. Pull the corporate charter papers that way...Copy !req
162. write down every name you see.:Copy !req
163. corporate officers, shareholders,
or more importantly...Copy !req
164. the resident agent on the filing
who is usually a lawyer.Copy !req
165. While they use front names,
you know, as corporate officers...Copy !req
166. they'll usually use the same lawyer
to do the charter filing.Copy !req
167. Find that agent's name,
run it through the computer...Copy !req
168. find out what other corporations
he's done the filing for...Copy !req
169. and that way we find other front companies.Copy !req
170. While he's doing that, what do I do?Copy !req
171. You're gonna to keep your head
in this assessment book.Copy !req
172. Look up any properties
that you can connect to Barksdale.Copy !req
173. How do you know
it connects to Barksdale, right?Copy !req
174. You work off of what Prez gets you
from the corporate charter documents.Copy !req
175. Whatever companies he links to Barksdale
or people connected to him...Copy !req
176. you look for those companies
in the city land records.Copy !req
177. For example:
McNulty said that he heard that Barksdale...Copy !req
178. owned an apartment building
up on Druid Park Lake.Copy !req
179. You look up all the blocks on Reservoir Hill.Copy !req
180. See if there's anything
owned by D & B Enterprises...Copy !req
181. or any other company that Prez finds...Copy !req
182. through corporate charter
or anything similar.Copy !req
183. If you find something that fits,
you write down the folio number...Copy !req
184. so that you can look it up later
at the courthouse.Copy !req
185. You don't find anything...Copy !req
186. just take the names of all the corporate
listings for the multi-units near the lake.Copy !req
187. You call that list over to Prez,
who pulls the charter papers...Copy !req
188. and he'll look for connections.Copy !req
189. - It's like a scavenger hunt.
- But what if Barksdale is careful?Copy !req
190. I mean, what if we can't
find his name on anything?Copy !req
191. In this country...Copy !req
192. somebody's name
has got to be on a piece of paper.Copy !req
193. A cousin, a girlfriend,
a grandmother, a lieutenant he can trust...Copy !req
194. somebody's name is on a piece of paper.Copy !req
195. And here's the rub:Copy !req
196. You follow drugs...Copy !req
197. you get drug addicts and drug dealers.Copy !req
198. But you start to follow the money...Copy !req
199. and you don't know where
the fuck it's going to take you.Copy !req
200. While we're running around on this,
what are you going to do?Copy !req
201. - You need something?
- Yeah.Copy !req
202. Let me get the...Copy !req
203. campaign financial reports
for the western districts...Copy !req
204. and actually, any citywide race.Copy !req
205. You want quarterly reports
or individual donor lists?Copy !req
206. - Both, please.
- It'll be a couple hundred pages.Copy !req
207. Really? I'll take all of it.Copy !req
208. What the fuck, man?Copy !req
209. With your right hand,
reach for the window, open the door.Copy !req
210. - Come on, hurry up, man.
- Step out of the car.Copy !req
211. Drop the cane, toss the cane.
Come around to the back.Copy !req
212. All right.Copy !req
213. Turn around.Copy !req
214. Sir, is there anything in the vehicle
we should know about?Copy !req
215. Nope.Copy !req
216. No guns, drugs?Copy !req
217. Me ain't got shit.Copy !req
218. This money right here,
I didn't just pull this out of your truck?Copy !req
219. What money?Copy !req
220. Damn, we'll be counting
this limp-dick cash all day.Copy !req
221. Where you guys going with all this?Copy !req
222. Like the man said, it ain't ours.Copy !req
223. It ain't yours?Copy !req
224. So, you don't mind if we just
take it off your hands?Copy !req
225. Do what you feel. You pretending to take
money out this truck.Copy !req
226. I didn't even know it was there.Copy !req
227. You know, I know how that shit is.Copy !req
228. The other day,
I took up the sofa cushions off my couch...Copy !req
229. found $1.40 I didn't even know was there.Copy !req
230. You all ain't got no charge, right?Copy !req
231. No, fucker, we do not have a charge.
We just got your money.Copy !req
232. You want it back, you can explain
it to the state's attorney where you got it.Copy !req
233. You all enjoy your day now, you hear?Copy !req
234. As I wake up in the morning
And get out of my bedCopy !req
235. Give me three.Copy !req
236. As I wake up in the morning
And get out of my bedCopy !req
237. I'm thinking about the people
I grew up with long deadCopy !req
238. The brothers I grew up with, locked upCopy !req
239. I'm freestyling off the top of my headCopy !req
240. You know, it's swell, Patti LaBelle I like herCopy !req
241. But Regina Bell is betterCopy !req
242. Motherfucker!Copy !req
243. Motherfucker, trying to steal our shit.Copy !req
244. Motherfucker!Copy !req
245. - Fished your wish, Bubbs?
- Yeah.Copy !req
246. And you should've seen
the one that got away.Copy !req
247. I nearly got killed behind this caper,
you know?Copy !req
248. It's all in the game, Bubbs.Copy !req
249. Yeah?Copy !req
250. This ain't shit.Copy !req
251. I'm not high, neither.Copy !req
252. It's fucking Arm & Hammer.
We just been firing baking soda.Copy !req
253. It's all right, man.
I'll just come up with another plan.Copy !req
254. I did it once, right?Copy !req
255. Fuck me.Copy !req
256. Carv, you go to a restaurant...Copy !req
257. and say the waitress gives you
good, decent service.Copy !req
258. How much do you tip?Copy !req
259. How much do I tip?Copy !req
260. - For good service.
- I don't know, 15%.Copy !req
261. - Some people tip 20%.
- Some people got money.Copy !req
262. What you think Wee-Bey would tip?Copy !req
263. You'd be a clever motherfucker
if there wasn't a wiretap running.Copy !req
264. What do you mean?Copy !req
265. Say we turn in $20,000, and this afternoon,
the bosses are listening to the wiretap...Copy !req
266. and they hear we took $30,000
out of that car.Copy !req
267. Didn't think of that, did you?Copy !req
268. We're finding a lot of stuff
on the west side of downtown...Copy !req
269. that might be his,
over by that Howard Street corridor.Copy !req
270. - What kind of property?
- Low-rent commercials.Copy !req
271. A lot of vacants.Copy !req
272. The fuck does Avon Barksdale want
with a string of empty storefronts?Copy !req
273. - This feels premature.
- What does?Copy !req
274. Chasing up assets.Copy !req
275. We're not close to putting
a charge to the man.Copy !req
276. - That should be the priority.
- We put a charge to Avon Barksdale...Copy !req
277. the Deputy shuts us down,
tells us to go home.Copy !req
278. You want the money side of this case,
it's now or never, Lieutenant.Copy !req
279. I'm working here.Copy !req
280. Maybe $20,000 or $30,000.Copy !req
281. Dollars for donuts.Copy !req
282. You should've seen the looks on their faces.Copy !req
283. - What did Wee-Bey say?
- "What money?"Copy !req
284. The only hassle is
we need to sit here and count this shit.Copy !req
285. - Do the ECU Submissions.
- And it's all limp-dick, dime-vial money.Copy !req
286. Dirty bills right off the corner.Copy !req
287. You all got the pit boys
on a fresh pay phone, right?Copy !req
288. You all got the pit boys
on a fresh pay phone, right?Copy !req
289. - Yeah, on McCullough.
- You take pictures?Copy !req
290. Good, we're gonna need an additional
affidavit to get up on that phone.Copy !req
291. Another 30 days, McNulty?Copy !req
292. What the fuck did I do?Copy !req
293. One day he fights,
the next day he's ready to roll over.Copy !req
294. - Does he want this fucking case or not?
- Give him some slack, Jimmy.Copy !req
295. He's wrestling with the angels on this one.Copy !req
296. Where's my lucky pen?Copy !req
297. - You ready, bitch?
- Yeah, I'm ready.Copy !req
298. I wanna get on my knees
and suck you like a great big lollipop.Copy !req
299. - Yeah, suck it.
- Yeah, I know that's your favorite.Copy !req
300. Let me lick that. You like that?Copy !req
301. I want you to butt-fuck me.Copy !req
302. We're supposed to turn off the tap
when it's non-pertinent.Copy !req
303. Fuck, no, this is too good.Copy !req
304. - Fuck me.
- Daddy, yeah.Copy !req
305. There's no way I'm transcribing this stuff.Copy !req
306. Touch yourself.Copy !req
307. Yeah.Copy !req
308. - My pussy is so wet right now.
- Phone sex?Copy !req
309. Shit was hilarious.Copy !req
310. You're supposed to shut down
after 90 seconds if it's non-pertinent.Copy !req
311. You're gonna to look like
a glazed donut, you know that?Copy !req
312. Is that right?Copy !req
313. I'm gonna get there and fuck you
in all three holes.Copy !req
314. - So, you're gonna come past here?
- Tomorrow, yeah.Copy !req
315. But I need to go past Argyle Street tonight.Copy !req
316. - Check in with Wallace.
- Wallace?Copy !req
317. He's off the hook since
we helped the tower crew...Copy !req
318. get that stickup boy.
I'm telling you, Wallace is bugging.Copy !req
319. Don't hardly even come
out of that room no more.Copy !req
320. - Why he be like that?
- I think he might be getting high.Copy !req
321. - Wallace?
- Boy scaring me with his shit.Copy !req
322. - All right, you holler at me later.
- That'll work.Copy !req
323. Pertinent now, right?Copy !req
324. If you can explain
why we're still on the line...Copy !req
325. after 10 minutes jerking off.Copy !req
326. You got to justify that.Copy !req
327. Maybe three holes was the code
for three stash houses.Copy !req
328. Omar.Copy !req
329. Omar coming.Copy !req
330. - Did you hear me? I said Omar coming.
- Let's get out of here.Copy !req
331. I said, Omar coming through.Copy !req
332. Somebody in trouble now.
Come on, let's go.Copy !req

340. And the next day.Copy !req

351. Family affair, two-for-one, you up?Copy !req

- All right.Copy !req
353. How you figure these little pebbles

354. Where's everybody at?Copy !req
355. Maybe the whole thing is over
and no one bothered to tell us.Copy !req
356. Maybe we won.Copy !req
357. Something ain't right.Copy !req
358. Come on, let's take a ride.Copy !req
359. I like these.Copy !req
360. - The toy furniture is great.

361. It's a hobby.Copy !req
362. My sister had a dollhouse

364. Sure, babe.Copy !req
365. That's a walnut marble-top vanity.Copy !req

367. Do you have a house for them?Copy !req
368. No, I just make them and sell them.Copy !req
369. That seems kind of sad.Copy !req
370. You should have a house for them.Copy !req
371. We can use the Lieutenant's office.Copy !req
372. - No.
- I ain't asked for nothing.Copy !req
373. What's up, Tasha? You got too pretty, girl.Copy !req
374. Go inside, Tash.Copy !req
375. I'm thinking about getting clean.Copy !req
376. Again.Copy !req
377. I was thinking, you know,
I ain't got no other place to go, maybe...Copy !req
378. That's wrong, right?Copy !req
379. That ain't right, right? Sorry.Copy !req
380. I'm sorry.Copy !req
381. Wait.Copy !req
382. Back door only.Copy !req

407. And they come along without complaining.Copy !req

anal and oral cavities.Copy !req
454. Three different blood types, all secretors.Copy !req
455. They fucked her and threw her away.Copy !req
456. The only reason we knew who she was,
or what she was about...Copy !req
457. or what she might mean
to someone like you...Copy !req
458. is because we've been
keeping an eye on the people...Copy !req
459. who run Orlando's for some time now.Copy !req
460. We got ways of knowing
what they're saying...Copy !req
461. what they're thinking.Copy !req

the snort was at Little Man's party.Copy !req

and it's a money factory.Copy !req

585. The boys talking on the wire
were saying it wasn't much of a loss.Copy !req
586. $22,000?Copy !req
587. That's just from one morning
from the towers and the pit.Copy !req
588. Add the avenue corners,
you're probably up near $30,000.Copy !req
589. Another take for the evening, $60,000.Copy !req
590. - A day?
- That's $25 million a year, conservatively.Copy !req
591. You take out 20%
for running expenses and spillage...Copy !req
592. and you are still clearing
$1 million a month.Copy !req

aide to a state senator...Copy !req
603. driving out $20,000 in cash
from the projects...Copy !req
604. whenever he feels it.Copy !req
605. I know you don't want
to hear this, Lieutenant...Copy !req
606. but the money is real and it's everywhere.Copy !req
607. And more than the drugs,
it's the money that matters.Copy !req
608. I ain't fucked nobody else
if that's what you thinking.Copy !req
609. All right, I mean, fuck it.
If you want to go, then go!Copy !req
610. But you could give me a goddamn reason.Copy !req

624. All right.Copy !req
625. I got towers two, three, five and six...Copy !req
626. and another one labeled "P" for the pit.Copy !req
627. Where's one and four? It's on the wire
that we took them for $22,000.Copy !req
628. You shitheads turned in $15,000.
Where's the rest?Copy !req
629. - Lieutenant, we ain't got—
- You have till roll call tomorrow...Copy !req
630. to crawl back to whatever rock
you hid it under.Copy !req
631. It comes back and it goes to ECU.Copy !req
632. This doesn't happen.Copy !req
633. Not with me. Not with my unit.Copy !req
634. I wouldn't steal and not tell you about it.Copy !req
635. This some of Avon's shit.Copy !req
636. You got Avon Barksdale chasing

I ain't gonna take this off your hands...Copy !req
655. and throw your ass up outta here?Copy !req
656. Come on, man, Avon goes down,
the projects be open market again, right?Copy !req
657. Let me understand.Copy !req
658. Avon loses $100,000 to me on a bet...Copy !req
659. then you bring me some of his shit...Copy !req
660. so that I can put
your predatory self on his ass.Copy !req
