562. if he asks for something,
I want to give it to him.Copy !req

573. He mouthed off to the judge in the first place.Copy !req
574. - He talked to the judge?

gone to counterterrorism.Copy !req
613. This is the last drug case pending.
I gotta shut it down by the end of the month.Copy !req
614. - You guys are getting out of drugs?
- Yeah, for a while.Copy !req
615. We don't have the manpower
to stay on anything big.Copy !req
616. Not since those towers fell.Copy !req
617. We don't have enough love
in our hearts for two wars?Copy !req
618. - Joke's on us, huh?

They've got everyone running scared.Copy !req
666. What do you suggest?Copy !req
667. Surveillance teams,
DNRs, asset investigation.Copy !req
668. Gather string till we find a way in.Copy !req
669. Either a wired Cl or a Title 3.
That's what makes this case.Copy !req
670. Is that what you told the judge?Copy !req
671. OK, so I'm an asshole for that.
But I'm right about this much.Copy !req
672. No mics, no wires.
We do this fast and clean and simple.Copy !req
673. Then you don't do it at all.Copy !req
674. You all could've had this fight
before calling the State's Attorney's office.Copy !req
675. Let me ask you something.
What do we know about Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
676. What do we know?Copy !req

686. - When you know how you're playing this, yell.
- We know how we're playing it.Copy !req
687. My people are going down
to do hand-to-hands.Copy !req
688. Detectives McNulty and Santangelo
are going to review old murder filesCopy !req
689. and try to manufacture a fresh prosecution.Copy !req
690. As things heat up, I'll get us more manpower,
but this case is not going to sprawl.Copy !req
691. A month from now,
we're all gonna be back at our day jobs.Copy !req
692. Fine. Bring me your hand-to-hands.Copy !req
