19. And then what the fuck if he ain't?Copy !req
20. No, this nigger live in the town, too.
He gonna listen, if we parley.Copy !req
21. And then when he creep out
of his hole, and shit.Copy !req
22. - Boom.

24. - Put that out there, yo.
- All right.Copy !req
25. About them police, though,
they was on your ass after the game?Copy !req
26. Yeah, man, it was like two cars.Copy !req
27. See, if they on you, then they got a name.Copy !req
28. If they got a name,
then they know you got no license.Copy !req
29. But they don't want no traffic charges,
you know what I'm saying?Copy !req
30. They don't want no humble shit.Copy !req
31. I think they was trying
to see where I might go.Copy !req
32. Where the fuck was you
gonna take their asses?Copy !req
33. I was taking them to the barbershop.
I was going to get a haircut.Copy !req
34. Get a fade?Copy !req
35. I know, B, but these motherfuckers
are on us. Fuck.Copy !req
36. They always have been on us,
we just gotta be careful.Copy !req
37. You not been talking on any phones.Copy !req
38. And you not been touching any drugs.Copy !req
39. And from now on,
you are not doing the money runs.Copy !req
40. Me and Bey, we gonna take care
of that shit...Copy !req
41. until this whole thing cool off.Copy !req
42. - Let me get that pager.
- What's up, you serious?Copy !req
43. Serious. I'm gonna get you
a New York supply number only.Copy !req
44. Any of these motherfucking local cats...Copy !req
45. wanna talk to you, they gotta talk to me.Copy !req
46. We gotta build a wall around you, B.Copy !req
47. Another month on a fresh phone?Copy !req
48. They ripped out the pay phones
in the low-rises.Copy !req
49. Now they're walking a block or two.Copy !req
50. How much longer
until you bring this case in?Copy !req
51. The quicker you can the better
for everybody. Yourself included.Copy !req
52. Look at this.
Judge Gwynn sends his regrets.Copy !req
53. He can't make lunch.
Like I suddenly got the plague.Copy !req
54. There's your new phone. 30 days.Copy !req
55. A few weeks ago, when Burrell
wanted to take down the wire...Copy !req
56. you were the one breaking off on his ass.Copy !req
57. Jimmy, there's a lady here.Copy !req
58. Rhonda talks more trash than both of us,
Your Honor.Copy !req
59. I have never been
anything other than ladylike, Your Honor.Copy !req
60. Detective McNulty is going out of his way
to insult an officer of the court.Copy !req
61. - McNulty, I hold you in contempt.
- Who doesn't?Copy !req
62. What's with him?Copy !req
63. - You haven't heard?
- No.Copy !req
64. - What's wrong with the picture?
- Don't know.Copy !req
65. - Phelan isn't in it.
- What, he's up for election?Copy !req
66. I thought judges had 15-year terms.Copy !req
67. They do, but Phelan was named
to finish Halpern's term...Copy !req
68. which only had two years left.Copy !req
69. So he has to run on his own in the primary.Copy !req
70. What, he's not on the ticket?Copy !req
71. Why the fuck not?Copy !req
72. Maybe it's the company he keeps.Copy !req
73. Fuck.Copy !req
74. No, see, you ain't thinking about
how much room the baby gonna need.Copy !req
75. Specially when he get to growing...Copy !req
76. 'cause there are things we got to have.Copy !req
77. Like a real crib, a play desk...Copy !req
78. and you know, he got to have
one of them Little Tikes cars.Copy !req
79. I'm not saying your place
ain't nice enough...Copy !req
80. 'cause for you, it do just fine,
but if we gonna be a family...Copy !req
81. 'cause for you, it do just fine,
but if we gonna be a family...Copy !req
82. we need at least one more room, if not two.Copy !req
83. So you add the bedroom set,
a nice bedroom set like the one they got...Copy !req
84. down at that baby store on Howard Street,
and that's a room right there.Copy !req
85. And I think we might
get some better furniture...Copy !req
86. and put your stuff in the other bedroom...Copy !req
87. like it was a den...Copy !req
88. 'cause the sofa you got seen better days...Copy !req
89. I think you know that much.Copy !req
90. Dee, where you goin' at?Copy !req
91. I told you I need money
for the new bedroom set. Dee!Copy !req
92. - Why you holler at me?
- Yo, man, we getting down to it.Copy !req
93. I get to you when I get to you.Copy !req
94. That's the main stash house.Copy !req
95. Say what?Copy !req
96. The incoming call is the guy who runs
the main stash for Barksdale's people.Copy !req
97. - Who is he?
- We don't know.Copy !req
98. So, y'all are just guessing
he's on the stash, right?Copy !req
99. No, he's on it.Copy !req
100. Lester was checking the logs
when he picked up the pattern.Copy !req
101. Every time they get down
to the ends on a package...Copy !req
102. somebody in the tower
hits that pager number.Copy !req
103. Then, within a half-hour
every fucking time...Copy !req
104. a call comes back to the tower pay phone
from that number in Pimlico.Copy !req
105. Which is?Copy !req
106. It's a pay phone at a Mondo Mart
in Reisterstown on Cold Spring Lane.Copy !req
107. You see it now?Copy !req
108. When the supply gets low,
they page this mope...Copy !req
109. who always calls back from a pay phone
way the fuck out in north-west.Copy !req
110. Same phone, same pattern.Copy !req
111. So y'all think that
he's taking the re-up order...Copy !req
112. and that the stash is somewhere
near the Mondo Mart, right?Copy !req
113. - You are on it, Detective Sydnor.
- Okay, so what do you do with this?Copy !req
114. What do we do?Copy !req
115. We're gonna be sittin'
on that phone in Pimlico...Copy !req
116. all day and night
waitin' on Mr. Mondo Mart.Copy !req
117. - Herc, too.
- Herc's out this whole week.Copy !req
118. - In-service training.
- That's too bad.Copy !req
119. So, instead of three eight-hour shifts,
you two are gonna have to pull 12 hours.Copy !req
120. Just fucking kill me now.Copy !req
121. - Heard from Omar?
- Nope.Copy !req
122. I'm gonna go try to scare him up.
Where you gonna be?Copy !req
123. Everyone on the wire keeps talking about...Copy !req
124. how this kid's all tore up
about the dead stickup boy.Copy !req
125. - I'm gonna see for myself.
- All right.Copy !req
126. - You need us, we're on the radio.
- Okay.Copy !req
127. Hey, what up, man?Copy !req
128. This first time,
I can go four ounces of rock...Copy !req
129. but hey, if the shit is right,
then next time I can step that up.Copy !req
130. Almost ain't worth it for four.Copy !req
131. Just this first go-round.Copy !req
132. You do right by me,
I'll turn around and come back on it.Copy !req
133. Where your money at, man?Copy !req
134. We good.Copy !req
135. So, where the shit at?Copy !req
136. Ain't nobody been there but you.
Nobody came in my house but you.Copy !req
137. Everybody.Copy !req
138. Nobody but you. You're the only person
that came in my house.Copy !req
139. So, what you got goin' for you?Copy !req
140. Ain't got nothing left, burnt it away.Copy !req
141. Family?Copy !req
142. Mother dead. Father, who the fuck know.Copy !req
143. Brothers, sisters?Copy !req
144. A sister, she lets me stay in the basement...Copy !req
145. but she lock the door so I can't go upstairs.Copy !req
146. About the best she can do for me.Copy !req
147. Got a kid, a son.Copy !req
148. Imagine me bringing life into the world.Copy !req
149. - What's his name?
- Keyshawn.Copy !req
150. His mother took him up Jersey way,
said I wasn't fit to be with the boy.Copy !req
151. - I didn't disagree.
- Well...Copy !req
152. at least you got your health.Copy !req
153. Here's to health.Copy !req
154. I got the bug.Copy !req
155. Had it since '94.Copy !req
156. Gave that shit to my old lady.Copy !req
157. Worried about passing it on to my baby girl.Copy !req
158. No, I was spared that at least.Copy !req
159. Damn, how do you carry it?Copy !req
160. - You ask her forgiveness?
- Of course.Copy !req
161. - What she say?
- What she needed to say.Copy !req
162. Look, forgiveness from other folks is good...Copy !req
163. but ain't nothing but words
coming at you from outside.Copy !req
164. You wanna kick this shit,
you got to forgive your own self.Copy !req
165. Love yourself some, brother.Copy !req
166. And then drag your sorry ass
to some meetings.Copy !req
167. - Meetings?
- What the fuck you wanna hear?Copy !req
168. That you're strong enough
to do this by yourself?Copy !req
169. Getting clean's the easy part.Copy !req
170. Now comes life.Copy !req
171. It's this one here with the orange cord
coming out of the back.Copy !req
172. They're pirating juice from the other house.Copy !req
173. You fucking gotta be kidding me.
Now I'm policing for BGE?Copy !req
174. They're not there yet,
but when this kid here posts, snatch him up.Copy !req
175. Park our asses outside this shit-hole and
wait for some little project yo to raise up?Copy !req
176. Mrs. McNulty raised no fools.Copy !req
177. Four Faidley's crabcakes in the bag...Copy !req
178. 24 Dutch beers in the box.Copy !req
179. Faidley's? You all right, McNulty.Copy !req
180. Faidley's? You all right, McNulty.Copy !req
181. I don't care what all them
other fucks downtown say about you.Copy !req
182. 11-35, what's up?Copy !req
183. Our friend wants to meet. Same spot.Copy !req
184. - Copy that, 15 minutes.
- What's the deal with the yo-boy?Copy !req
185. - What'd he do?
- Stumbled into my world.Copy !req
186. - Five minutes, come on.
- I have to go.Copy !req
187. - Shardene.
- I said, I have to go.Copy !req
188. - I can't have five minutes?
- No, not right now.Copy !req
189. Fuck!Copy !req
190. How close did you get?Copy !req
191. Y'all be chalking that nigger if Wee Bey
ain't pop up at the last second like...Copy !req
192. Remember when we last talked?Copy !req
193. You were gonna lay back,
let us work our case.Copy !req
194. I said, I'd do what I can.Copy !req
195. Still, I thought I might let y'all know
Avon's people got in contact...Copy !req
196. talking about they want to end the beef.Copy !req
197. - They offered me some kind of amnesty.
- Amnesty?Copy !req
198. Look, I chill out on the manhunt
and stop hitting them in the head...Copy !req
199. for their product,
they gonna call off the bounty.Copy !req
200. Take the truce, Omar.Copy !req
201. I might, if they ain't trying to play me.Copy !req
202. - They said they want to parley on it.
- Parley?Copy !req
203. Look, I don't know, man, but right now
I need some assistance from y'all.Copy !req
204. Yo, son, I go to the ER,
and word get back to Avon...Copy !req
205. you know he gonna have his henchmen
waiting in the parking lot for me.Copy !req
206. Look, I know y'all friendly
with a couple of doctors, right? Right?Copy !req
207. He says he can buy weight.
Says he runs with some decent-size locals.Copy !req
208. - Like who?
- Avon, something... Barksdale.Copy !req
209. Avon Barksdale?Copy !req
210. Run it through the DECS and HIDA.
See what comes back.Copy !req
211. I'm gonna check around,
see if anybody's working...Copy !req
212. these names you gave us.Copy !req
213. If you full of shit, pal,
I'm gonna know it quick.Copy !req
214. But what happens to me
while you checking?Copy !req
215. Eager Street. City jail, motherfucker.Copy !req
216. Blue came home last week.
I ain't seen him since.Copy !req
217. Yeah.Copy !req
218. I can't believe it.Copy !req
219. - Damn, Carv, you's triflin'.
- Yeah, I admit it, I'm disgusting.Copy !req
220. Cheese puffs and fucking Ring-Dings?Copy !req
221. Yeah.Copy !req
222. - Yeah.
- The big fuck from the high-rise...Copy !req
223. - what's his name?
- Little Man.Copy !req
224. - Yeah, him.
- All right.Copy !req
225. - Yo.
- Be ready, we're on it.Copy !req
226. Look at this pretty motherfucker.Copy !req
227. Too fucked up to drive home, McNulty?Copy !req
228. Hey, Bunk.Copy !req
229. Kid gave us a murder.
More than that, he's put in Stringer Bell.Copy !req
230. Yeah?Copy !req
231. Picks out Wee-Bey, Bird
and Stinkum from photo arrays.Copy !req
232. Puts them all up at the Greek's...Copy !req
233. the night they grab up Omar's boy, Brandon.
Puts Bell in the truck, too.Copy !req
234. Says, "Stringer told me
to point out the stickup boy."Copy !req
235. - Jeez, what do you have over him?
- Not a fucking thing.Copy !req
236. Kid was ready, barely had to push him.Copy !req
237. - Whose case?
- Norris's.Copy !req
238. - How old?
- 16.Copy !req
239. Lives in a shit-hole vacant over on Argyle.Copy !req
240. When I grab him up,
I swear he's halfway into a nod.Copy !req
241. Using?Copy !req
242. When they kill the stickup boy
the fuckers dump the body in the alley...Copy !req
243. behind where this kid and all the other
low-rise hoppers lay their heads.Copy !req
244. Can you imagine?Copy !req
245. All he can think about.Copy !req
246. You tell him he's gonna have to testify?Copy !req
247. Not yet, we'll get there.
Problem is, what do we do with him now?Copy !req
248. - Yeah.
- Big boy picking up.Copy !req
249. Okay.Copy !req
250. - You holler at me, right?
- Where you at, man? We on our way down.Copy !req
251. First thing tomorrow, man.Copy !req
252. - Yeah?
- It's him, stay on it.Copy !req
253. All right.Copy !req
254. I didn't do nothing, man, get me outta here.Copy !req
255. The 2-2, grounded slowly towards third,
and it gets through at the last moment.Copy !req
256. Where my phone call at?Copy !req
257. Suzuki's at the plate, here's the pitch.Copy !req
258. Line drive, up the middle,
a base hit for Suzuki.Copy !req
259. Suzuki's very patient at the plate.Copy !req
260. Yeah, man, it's me.Copy !req
261. Guess who's up in here.Copy !req
262. Pimpin'-ass Orlando, from the club.Copy !req
263. Yeah. Courtside.Copy !req
264. - So, how long you been slingin'?
- Since I was, maybe, 12.Copy !req
265. And how long were you
with Barksdale's crew in the low-rises?Copy !req
266. With D'Angelo? Not long.Copy !req
267. He came down from the towers
at the beginning of the summer.Copy !req
268. Before that I worked for Ronnie Mo.Copy !req
269. D'Angelo ever talk to you
about what happened in the 221 building...Copy !req
270. with Pooh getting shot?Copy !req
271. How about anything else like that?Copy !req
272. - Like what?
- Killings, murders.Copy !req
273. He say anything about a girl getting shot
in an apartment up on the Eastside?Copy !req
274. He—Copy !req
275. No, Dee, he was good to me. He all right.Copy !req
276. But D'Angelo, he was who you called
that night when you saw...Copy !req
277. the stickup boy at the Greek's, right?Copy !req
278. Yeah, but he didn't go up there.Copy !req
279. It was mostly those tower boys.Copy !req
280. And Stringer.
You said Stringer was in the truck.Copy !req
281. He called you over,
asked you to point out the stickup boy.Copy !req
282. All of it corroborated by the beeper logs...Copy !req
283. and the pen registers
from the project pay phones.Copy !req
284. Stinkum's dead.
We've already got Bird for the Gant killing.Copy !req
285. - This ties them all in.
- D'Angelo, too.Copy !req
286. Maybe, but since he didn't show
at the Greek's...Copy !req
287. he tells the jury
he didn't see the murder coming.Copy !req
288. It's enough to charge him, anyway.Copy !req
289. Parents?Copy !req
290. Alcoholic mother.
In the wind, no fixed address.Copy !req
291. Says he's got a grandmother
on the Eastern Shore...Copy !req
292. but he hasn't seen her in years.Copy !req
293. - How about a hotel room?
- On whose dime?Copy !req
294. No way the Deputy approves the manpower
to stash a 16-year-old...Copy !req
295. much less the room service.Copy !req
296. McNulty, Line 2.Copy !req
297. How about you run this up to front office?
See if the state's attorney will kick in.Copy !req
298. He's a kid, Cedric.Copy !req
299. Even if we clear the money,
do you really wanna put a juvenile...Copy !req
300. in a hotel for six months
waiting on a trial date?Copy !req
301. I think you all need to get
with Grandma down on the shore.Copy !req
302. Now? She's doing this right now?Copy !req
303. They don't have to set a hearing date
or something like that?Copy !req
304. Christ, yeah, okay. Yeah.Copy !req
305. I fuckin' need a fuckin' lawyer.Copy !req
306. What?Copy !req
307. Still, you can see that
they got the security bars...Copy !req
308. and look there.Copy !req
309. Cameras that see over the yard
out to the street.Copy !req
310. And I checked with Verizon,
there's no phone service at that address.Copy !req
311. That's a telltale right there.Copy !req
312. So what? We try to write a warrant
for this place, right?Copy !req
313. Right?Copy !req
314. - What are you seeing?
- No pattern, really.Copy !req
315. Except this cluster of old storefronts...Copy !req
316. and warehouses
on the west side of downtown.Copy !req
317. Around Paca, Utah, Howard Street, mostly.Copy !req
318. - Storefronts?
- Vacants, usually.Copy !req
319. Three different holding companies.Copy !req
320. - Detective Pryzbylewski.
- What?Copy !req
321. You have a gift for the paper trail.Copy !req
322. Tomorrow calls for some street work,
though. Are you street ready?Copy !req
323. You know the Lieutenant has me in-office.
I don't have my gun until the grand jury.Copy !req
324. - You won't need one.
- On the street? No gun?Copy !req
325. No gun. Not for this.Copy !req
326. Furthermore, Mr. McNulty,
having utilized his sons...Copy !req
327. in an act of police work
involving a criminal suspect...Copy !req
328. actually lost track of them
in a crowded municipal market.Copy !req
329. This is simply unacceptable, Your Honor.Copy !req
330. Be that as it may,
an emergency ex parte order...Copy !req
331. is an extraordinary request, Mr. Palmer.Copy !req
332. You actually want me to limit visitations
to afternoons only, and you want...Copy !req
333. Mrs. McNulty present at all visitations?
Come on.Copy !req
334. It is not a single lapse, Judge.Copy !req
335. Mr. McNulty has time and again
failed to properly care for the children...Copy !req
336. when they're in his custody.Copy !req
337. I have a list of recent events, Your Honor,
that justify an order.Copy !req
338. Ms. Pearlman, you have a response
you'd like to offer up here?Copy !req
339. Nope.Copy !req
340. Nothing?Copy !req
341. If this were possession with intent,
I'd be a prosecutor with a plan.Copy !req
342. But a domestic order hearing?
Your Honor, I'm officially clueless.Copy !req
343. In fact, as an employee of the state,
I should not actually be here.Copy !req
344. All right, listen up, people...Copy !req
345. before you have me make a ruling
on an emergency petition...Copy !req
346. everybody here just needs
to take a deep breath.Copy !req
347. Literally, come on.Copy !req
348. Now, then, is Mr. McNulty capable...Copy !req
349. of having a civil conversation
with Mrs. McNulty?Copy !req
350. Yes, Your Honor.Copy !req
351. And is Mrs. McNulty equally capable
of having a conversation with Mr. McNulty?Copy !req
352. - Yes.
- Good, then I'm going to lunch.Copy !req
353. Let's see when I return
if we can't busy this court...Copy !req
354. with something just a little more engaging
than the problems of the McNultys.Copy !req
355. Look, the charge is on me.
I understand that, I'll carry that.Copy !req
356. But the least our people can do...Copy !req
357. is throw down a little something
to pay the bondsman.Copy !req
358. That's the deed of transfer for the club.Copy !req
359. The other thing is a license transfer
application for the liquor board.Copy !req
360. They're both backdated
and notarized for last week.Copy !req
361. What?Copy !req
362. A front has to be clean.Copy !req
363. And right now, you ain't that. Sign.Copy !req
364. I want my bail paid.
You send me a bondsman, I'll sign.Copy !req
365. Is that what you want me to tell him?Copy !req
366. That I asked you to sign and you wouldn't?Copy !req
367. You wanted to be in the game, right?Copy !req
368. Now you're in the game.Copy !req
369. Unbelievable. You show up with her?Copy !req
370. Elena, you went for an emergency ex parte.Copy !req
371. I grabbed whatever lawyer
was standing around.Copy !req
372. She was standing?
Ask her if she wants the pictures back.Copy !req
373. Let's see, I've got her at the restaurant
with you pulling out her chair.Copy !req
374. I've got her at the motel parking lot
with you opening the car door for her...Copy !req
375. because you're such
a fucking gentleman now.Copy !req
376. I can't believe you hired Buckman.Copy !req
377. Son of a bitch never made
a case that counted.Copy !req
378. He caught your cheating ass.Copy !req
379. Elena, why are we here?Copy !req
380. Because you can't have
Sean and Michael around criminals.Copy !req
381. You can't lose them
in a Baltimore market. That's why.Copy !req
382. He wasn't a criminal.Copy !req
383. I know the guy.
It was a game we were playing.Copy !req
384. It was daylight on a crowded street.
They could've been following AI Capone.Copy !req
385. It would've been fine.
Look, Elena, these are my sons.Copy !req
386. I love them. Do you hear, I love them.Copy !req
387. I'm not gonna let them get hurt.Copy !req
388. I love you, too.Copy !req
389. Still do.Copy !req
390. Does she know
about the detective and the pictures?Copy !req
391. No, why would I tell her about that?Copy !req
392. And are the two of you still...Copy !req
393. No.Copy !req
394. Yes.Copy !req
395. A little.Copy !req
396. Come on, let's make nice for the judge.Copy !req
397. Okay.Copy !req
398. We know we have a month more to go
and we're not gonna let up.Copy !req
399. We are going to raise more,
we are going to spend more...Copy !req
400. and on Election Day,
we are going to be out there...Copy !req
401. pushing the vote in every precinct.Copy !req
402. You ready?Copy !req
403. Come on, we'll get dinner first.Copy !req
404. Ain't so hungry.Copy !req
405. Come on.Copy !req
406. How much were you using?Copy !req
407. I'm asking if you're gonna be sick in my car.Copy !req
408. A cap now and then.Copy !req
409. You just snorting?Copy !req
410. You'll be all right in a day or two. Come on.Copy !req
411. This nigger coming or what, man?Copy !req
412. Said he would, if I guaranteed a parley.
And I'm here on it.Copy !req
413. Of course, he said you would be
paying my fee rather than his own self.Copy !req
414. Your fee?Copy !req
415. I'm doing like one of them
marriage counselors.Copy !req
416. Charge by the hour to tell some fool
he need to bring some flowers home.Copy !req
417. Then charge another hour telling the bitch...Copy !req
418. she ought to suck some cock
every little once and a while.Copy !req
419. To keep a marriage strong like that.Copy !req
420. Speaking of cocksuckers.Copy !req
421. - Don't believe we met.
- Proposition Joe.Copy !req
422. You ever steal from me,
I kill your whole family.Copy !req
423. All right. You all both here on my guarantee,
so respect that shit and say what you feel.Copy !req
424. I'm up out of here.Copy !req
425. I got a man who say he gonna
give you your life back.Copy !req
426. Who, Barksdale?Copy !req
427. My man say, "Tell that motherfucker that...Copy !req
428. "if he can find a way
not to dip in our pockets...Copy !req
429. "we're gonna call this shit even."Copy !req
430. You all aced Bailey,
and what you did to my boy?Copy !req
431. So, y'all think after what you did to Brandon
we supposed to find some even on this?Copy !req
432. I don't know shit about shit, all right?
I'm just the messenger.Copy !req
433. Whatever, man.Copy !req
434. You know there's dead on both sides, right?Copy !req
435. And there's gonna be a whole lot more
if this beef keep up.Copy !req
436. But the truth be told, there be more soldiers
on one half than the other.Copy !req
437. You know what I'm saying?Copy !req
438. Look here, son, you tell Barksdale...Copy !req
439. that he's been paid back
for what he did to my peoples.Copy !req
440. But as for his product,
a man's got to earn a living, you know?Copy !req
441. I don't know nobody called Barksdale, B.Copy !req
442. The man I'm talking about can't have
his shit taken like that. That won't do.Copy !req
443. All right, tell him to throw me
some cash then, and we'll see...Copy !req
444. About $5,000 or $10,000.Copy !req
445. You know what I mean,
for my retirement, homes.Copy !req
446. - $5,000 if you can keep quiet about it.
- Send my money through Joe, man.Copy !req
447. You go through Joe,
you're not gonna see $2,000 of that.Copy !req
448. - Why don't you tell my man where you at—
- No.Copy !req
449. We gonna figure
something else out, you hear?Copy !req
450. I'll be in touch, homes.Copy !req
451. How careful is Stringer Bell?Copy !req
452. "I don't know no one named Barksdale."Copy !req
453. Shit.Copy !req
454. Still, we got him tied to the Brandon killing.Copy !req
455. That can be enough for one day's work.Copy !req
456. Did what I could for y'all.Copy !req
457. You sure, right?Copy !req
458. Yeah, I spent a summer here
when I was nine.Copy !req
459. When was the last time they saw you?Copy !req
460. When I was nine.Copy !req
461. - What's that?
- What?Copy !req
462. That noise.Copy !req
463. It's crickets.Copy !req
464. - Cricket.
- Crickets.Copy !req
465. - He try to go in my pockets again?
- This nigger is talking about $5,000, B.Copy !req
466. Shit.Copy !req
467. What's up, baby?Copy !req
468. Antwon said to bring these up.
You want anything else?Copy !req
469. No, we cool.Copy !req
470. I'm saying though,
how we supposed to pay that?Copy !req
471. He talking about going through Joe,
but I'm like, fuck Joe.Copy !req
472. Thank you, you know what I mean?Copy !req
473. You look good and your services
are appreciated.Copy !req
474. Keep them tips,
I hope you making them, baby.Copy !req
475. Make the motherfucker
come down to the towers...Copy !req
476. Make the motherfucker
come down to the towers...Copy !req
477. to get the rest of his money,
know what I'm saying?Copy !req
478. If he's stupid enough to come
to the towers, he gonna get got.Copy !req
479. It's a wrap. How we supposed to pay that?Copy !req
480. All right.Copy !req
481. Y'all think you can hang, but, look.Copy !req
482. No, you see, I went to journalism school.Copy !req
483. All right? Northwestern.
So you all can't stay with me on this...Copy !req
484. Girl, you talking like
you some crusty old reporter.Copy !req
485. - Excuse me?
- Bitch, you work at a TV station.Copy !req
486. It's the same thing, all right?
Look, come on, stop talking.Copy !req
487. Here we go.Copy !req
488. - Bring it.
- Come on, Kima.Copy !req
489. I gotta work tomorrow.Copy !req
490. Candy ass.Copy !req
491. That's all I have to say.Copy !req
492. - Okay, you see?
- I'm with you.Copy !req
493. All right.Copy !req
494. Look at Tanya.
And she run a damn art gallery.Copy !req
495. You see, police in this town ain't about shit.Copy !req
496. - Guess not.
- Thank you.Copy !req
497. Can't hold a liquor.Copy !req
498. Can't hold a donut.Copy !req
499. And if you ask me, I guess we...Copy !req
500. ain't good in bed, either.Copy !req
501. Don't go there, Officer. Don't go there.Copy !req
502. Kima, how did you know
you wanted to be a cop?Copy !req
503. I mean, how did you choose that?Copy !req
504. When you were little,
did you think about it at all, or...Copy !req
505. Come on, Kima.Copy !req
506. I remember when I was in the Northeast,
still field-training as a cadet.Copy !req
507. I didn't know if I was gonna
stick with it or not.Copy !req
508. And then we got this one call.Copy !req
509. We chased this purse-snatcher
up into these apartments.Copy !req
510. I got separated from my FTO.Copy !req
511. Shit, I ain't even no police yet.Copy !req
512. You know, I'm just a trainee. And I'm alone.Copy !req
513. Anyway, I mean,
I don't know how, but I find the guy.Copy !req
514. So I catch him and I hold on to him
and I manage to get to my radio.Copy !req
515. We in the middle of this parking lot
and we're rolling around...Copy !req
516. and this motherfucker's
steady kicking my ass trying to get away.Copy !req
517. I look over and I see these black patents
and these uniform blue pants.Copy !req
518. I look up and it's Charlie Smoot...Copy !req
519. Charlie fucking Smoot.
You know, this guy's a legend.Copy !req
520. He looks down at me and he smiles,
you know real quiet-like.Copy !req
521. And he drops his cuffs.
He says, "Here you go, rook."Copy !req
522. That's all he says.Copy !req
523. "Here you go, rook."Copy !req
524. And then he dropped
the bracelets and walked away.Copy !req
525. I mean, I know you don't like it.Copy !req
526. But shit, I was proud.Copy !req
527. God damn.Copy !req
528. Lester says we ain't gonna
write a warrant on this place.Copy !req
529. - How do we not with all this PC?
- We're on the main stash, right?Copy !req
530. Why would we kick the door in...Copy !req
531. when all we have to do
is park a van down the street...Copy !req
532. follow the entire Westside drug supply
in and out of the place?Copy !req
533. We're gonna start picking up
pieces of Barksdale's world...Copy !req
534. we never even knew about.Copy !req
535. Been hell looking for you people.Copy !req
536. What the hell's the name
of this unit anyway?Copy !req
537. Shit, Kima in the house.Copy !req
538. What's up, Wig?
State police, CID, out of Pikesville.Copy !req
539. Name of Troy Wiggins,
but pay no attention to the man...Copy !req
540. because he about 90-95% pure bullshit.Copy !req
541. Kima, she just talk like that
because I had her when she was good.Copy !req
542. Shit, you the ugly-ass motherfucker
turned me the other way.Copy !req
543. Shit, all right.
Here's the thing, boys and girls.Copy !req
544. I'm doing a reverse buy-down
in Arundel, right?Copy !req
545. And I get this Westside asshole
nibbling on four ounces, right?Copy !req
546. - A whole four ounces?
- I know, he ain't much, but...Copy !req
547. I get him in the boat
and he starts flopping around...Copy !req
548. saying he can buy weight from some
motherfucker, name of Barksdale.Copy !req
549. I never heard of no Barksdale.
But I put the name into DECS.Copy !req
550. And the computer has Avon Barksdale
entered as an active Baltimore city target.Copy !req
551. So I go down to City Narcotics, and Dawson,
he sends me down here to see y'all.Copy !req
552. So what's the name of your fish?Copy !req
553. Wendell O., as in...Copy !req
554. oh-shit-l-tried-to-buy
from-a-state-police Blocker.Copy !req
555. That wouldn't be
Wendell "Orlando" Blocker, would it?Copy !req
556. Yeah. You on it.Copy !req
557. Orlando.Copy !req
558. They keep that back room locked.Copy !req
559. And even if I do get back there
on an errand, then they kind of shut down.Copy !req
560. They get real quiet.Copy !req
561. You said you heard one say
something about...Copy !req
562. making someone come into the towers.Copy !req
563. - Yeah.
- Which one was talking?Copy !req
564. He was tall, I think.Copy !req
565. All right, but who else was there?Copy !req
566. I don't really see that well
without my glasses.Copy !req
567. Where are your glasses?Copy !req
568. You can't see faces without those?Copy !req
569. You don't wear those while you're working,
do you, darlin'?Copy !req
570. Would you? I gotta live off drinks and tips.Copy !req
571. - No way.
- Why not?Copy !req
572. Because a player wouldn't be
the name on the liquor license.Copy !req
573. He'd have a connect for Barksdale's coke.Copy !req
574. He wouldn't walk into state troopers.Copy !req
575. He got a charge and now
he's talking out his ass.Copy !req
576. You're never gonna get Avon
or Stringer in the same room as the dope.Copy !req
577. - We make this case on their voices alone.
- So maybe he can't buy from Barksdale.Copy !req
578. Maybe he can only buy
from Savino or Wee-Bey.Copy !req
579. Fuck him, then.Copy !req
580. We already got Wee-Bey tied to a murder,
and Savino's the runt of the litter.Copy !req
581. We can take what Orlando
gives us about the club.Copy !req
582. The money laundering, maybe, or the girls.Copy !req
583. For that kind of cooperation,
I'll drop a few years and call it fair.Copy !req
584. - Daniels in here?
- Yeah.Copy !req
585. Call from Deputy Commissioner for you.
You want it in here?Copy !req
586. No.Copy !req
587. He doesn't miss much.Copy !req
588. - I need some help here.
- Come on, Bubs.Copy !req
589. You got me coming across town
in the middle of a fucked-up workday...Copy !req
590. just so you can hold $10,
that shit ain't right.Copy !req
591. Hold on, I don't need $10, okay?Copy !req
592. I don't know. I need a place of my own.Copy !req
593. All right? Some bed,
some sheets, some clothes.Copy !req
594. I definitely need some new clothes.Copy !req
595. How long you been clean?Copy !req
596. Three days.Copy !req
597. You serious about it?Copy !req
598. Who knows?Copy !req
599. What the fuck am I gonna do
with a clean informant?Copy !req
600. Did you think about that?Copy !req
601. All right, I'm on it with you.Copy !req
602. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
603. What the fuck, give me some love.Copy !req
604. Okay, I mean, I think I can get,
you know, a mattress, my own place...Copy !req
605. everything for like a couple hundred dollars.Copy !req
606. All right. We'll talk.Copy !req
607. I gotta be somewhere tonight,
so hit me on my page tomorrow.Copy !req
608. Tomorrow?Copy !req
609. I got you.Copy !req
610. - The cooperator says he can buy weight.
- Not from Barksdale or Bell.Copy !req
611. How can you be sure?Copy !req
612. How much dope or coke do you think
gets Avon Barksdale into the room?Copy !req
613. A kilo? 2 kilos? 20 kilos?Copy !req
614. We are not going to buy
our way up the ladder here.Copy !req
615. These people do not touch the drugs.
They don't go near the drugs.Copy !req
616. The wire is what gives us Barksdale.Copy !req
617. It gives us the whole crew.Copy !req
618. Day by day, piece by piece.Copy !req
619. Buy-bust, Lieutenant.Copy !req
620. It's what I asked you for months ago.
It's what we do successfully...Copy !req
621. time and again to make these cases.Copy !req
622. Why New York?Copy !req
623. Must be something happening out there.
Too big a town, you know what I mean?Copy !req
624. - You don't believe in the truce?
- That's why I asked for that money.Copy !req
625. If he had said,
"We ain't paying, just be happy to live"...Copy !req
626. I'd have been like, they keeping it real.Copy !req
627. But he say, come on down for $5,000.
I'm, like, man, please.Copy !req
628. Look here, homes, I ain't asked for much,
but I'm a little light on traveling money.Copy !req
629. I'm saying, I could go around the block
and get myself paid, but I'm thinking.Copy !req
630. You keep in touch with my pager.
We're gonna need you for the Gant trial.Copy !req
631. Go easy, Omar.Copy !req
632. Stay free.Copy !req
633. You be picking me up outside
the cut-rate on Lex and Fulton.Copy !req
634. I be up there after 10.:00, right?Copy !req
635. That'll work.Copy !req
636. Listen up, people.Copy !req
637. We've got $30,000 in buy money,
courtesy of our friends over at DEA.Copy !req
638. But the thing is,
they can't have that money walking on them.Copy !req
639. Definitely not.Copy !req
640. So Kima will be in the car for the buy,
fronting as our Cl's girl.Copy !req
641. Looking the part, too.Copy !req
642. Now, where's your weapon gonna be?Copy !req
643. He might pat me,
so it has to stash in the car.Copy !req
644. I figure when Savino
gets in the car at the cut-rate...Copy !req
645. I'll be going in back.
It'll be up under the rear seat.Copy !req
646. And we probably can't be close enough
for an eyeball on this...Copy !req
647. but the car will be a live wire.Copy !req
648. And Kima will be throwing us
20s whenever she can. Rhonda.Copy !req
649. I only want to remind Mr. Blocker here...Copy !req
650. that his plea agreement
is contingent on cooperation.Copy !req
651. And a buy-bust on Savino Bratton
is less cooperative...Copy !req
652. than a buy-bust from someone
higher up on the food chain.Copy !req
653. If you can get Savino
talking about Avon or Stringer...Copy !req
654. that's better for us and better for you.Copy !req
655. They already know that he got jacked
on a reverse buy, right?Copy !req
656. - Why wouldn't they assume he's snitching?
- I need money for a lawyer, right?Copy !req
657. That's the story.Copy !req
658. He got popped and now he needs
to get right back into it...Copy !req
659. to pay the bondsman and the lawyer.Copy !req
660. All right. Let's make this work.Copy !req
661. Careful. That's my career
you're holding there.Copy !req
662. - You got a unit?
- Parked in the mezzanine.Copy !req
663. - Give me the keys, man.
- No, I'm driving, motherfucker.Copy !req
664. Come on, man.Copy !req
665. Death row here.Copy !req
666. Ain't up.Copy !req
667. Death row.Copy !req
668. My girl. Half the money's hers.Copy !req
669. Baby, since we going down North Avenue...Copy !req
670. stop by the carry-out
so I can pick me up some cigarettes.Copy !req
671. They're going up North, stay loose.Copy !req
672. Shit. It's too loud.Copy !req
673. Does any unit have the eyeball?Copy !req
674. Negative, 11-35.Copy !req
675. Come on, Greggs, tell us
where the fuck you are.Copy !req
676. Pull in there.Copy !req
677. - What?
- Pull in there.Copy !req
678. Don't fuck with this count.Copy !req
679. I'll be right back with your shit.Copy !req
680. Where are we?Copy !req
681. That sign said Longwood,
but I could swear this was Warwick.Copy !req
682. Hoppers be turning the sign poles
to fuck with you all.Copy !req
683. I make it we're on the north side of Warwick,
in an alley...Copy !req
684. I don't know, shit.
Half a block west of Longwood, maybe?Copy !req
685. I hope you all copy that.Copy !req
686. Yeah, that puts us about eight blocks away.
I'm pushing in a little closer.Copy !req
687. All units be advised.Copy !req
688. Warwick near Longwood
in the north side alley. Or near that 20.Copy !req
689. This got the right feel for you?Copy !req
690. You creeping closer?Copy !req
691. He better not be long,
because I don't know where the stash is...Copy !req
692. and if they dragging us all over
this part of town—Copy !req
693. - What's that?
- What?Copy !req
694. Something ain't right.Copy !req
695. - What?
- Shit ain't right.Copy !req
696. You snitching motherfucker.Copy !req
