The Wire - Season 3 Edit

A big cat.

A big payout for what we put in, man.

A boy got that much white blood, he got to be a punk.

A bug?

A bulk purchase justify a discount, right?

A catcher with the Orioles back in the day.

A certain Peanut, whereabouts unknown.

A church crown?

A city police lieutenant looks good on her arm.

A complaint's not going to do anything. And the fact is...

A consultant of sorts.

A cop shouldn't mess with a mother's pain like that.

A couple of questions.

A couple of times before they chuck them.

A couple old faces.

A couple rungs down from Proposition Joe.

A date, huh?

A drop like that in the Western felony rate, that's unheard of.

A few blew out the damn window on the interstate.

A few moments from now, the Franklin Terrace Towers behind me...

A food blast will take your mind off it.

A Glock 9...

A Glock.

A good soldier ain't gonna lack for work.

A great moment of civic compromise.

A great village of pain and you're the mayor.

A guy says if you pay him, he can make it rain.

A guy.

A half hour.

A license from the State Athletic Commission up on Calvert Street.

A little dyspeptic?

A little gift for you and your boys.

A little itch here, a little scratch there.

A little smack here and there does this administration a world of good.

A little, yeah.

A lot of them have been cut loose by the dealers.

A lot of things is different now since you been up in here. You'll see.

A man at my church is helping the city fill a lot of those jobs.

A man doesn't run for office without being a bit self righteous first.

A man got to keep one eye on the ground, pick up what he find, feel me?

A man might say things he didn't mean to stand closer to a woman like that.

A ****a show that on a ride, he hanging a sign on himself.

A ****a step in my house, he getting dropped.

A plainclothesman in a dark alley, with his gun out and shots fired.

A player gets to that point, there ain't no way in hell...

A police officer was shot in this neighborhood a couple of weeks ago.

A purchasing corporation.

A read?

A shining Jimmy McNulty Day moment when you bring in a case...

A shortcut now could cost us later in motions hearings.

A Stairmaster.

A stripper, maybe? That would be nice.

A Sun paper reporter. Been to the free zones, all three of them.

A Sun reporter is aware of my deployment.

A week or so up on Bernard's phones and we'll have everybody...

A week. But then I gotta run something, no matter what.

A while, yeah.

A white boy doesn't stand much chance running citywide.

A wiretap case that would have been disrupted had we moved immediately.

A working police is going to tie a can to his tail.

A young officer, black officer, came by my stoop. I was sitting out...

About a week, tops.

About dropping cash into re election war chests...

About fucking time.

About how Colvin, under pressure, lost his way.

About making Baltimore a safer place, Commissioner?

About my life?

About one goddamn semi auto more or less?

About the benefits of this here thing.

About the detective. What you told me, you told her?

About the eight percent drop you posted last week.

About the permits, about setting up a PAC...

About the Western boys you are playing with!

Above that, it's all done as a face to face meet.

Absence of a negative.

According to my source, Barksdale's name is on the paperwork.

Account information confirms he's had that number listed...

Actually, I elected to ignore them.

Actually, I think, Kofi Bryant and the United fucking Nations...

Actually, there's a lot of good ones.

Add some of the stuff we're getting from the pen registers...

Addicts shooting up on the street...

Additionally, we've put the district flex squad...

Address, credit card details, whatever you can pull.

Address?

Adjourn your asses.

After 30 years, don't you think he's earned the right to some elbow room on this?

After all my putting my foot up people's asses...

After all the work we've done, I'd never forgive the son of a bitch.

After COMSTAT, you go to retirement services and drop papers.

After I first learned of the matter, I informed the Mayor...

After losing to Reagan, Carter comes back here to speak...

After the way we left it.

After which, the Mayor steps in...

After you.

Again, suggestive of drug trafficking.

Again? Jesus, Bunk.

Against a black incumbent mayor, in a city that's 65% black?

Against a touch of the Irish that he went out the back...

Against gangsters and criminals?

Agg assault with a two by four? I don't think so.

Agg assault with a two by four? I don't think so.

Aggressively...

Agreed. No one can.

Ah, what the fuck.

Ahmed.

Ain't enough y'all done violated the Sunday morning truce.

Ain't even enough trade for Poot and his crew. This some bullshit, man!

Ain't even got a quarter box for the Magic Fingers.

Ain't gonna be no big reward to it.

Ain't gonna be nothing left of him to make right what he owes.

Ain't got you a little spot for you to wash that dirty money.

Ain't got you a little spot for you to wash that dirty money.

Ain't just you, it's all our young police...

Ain't like I'm trying to shut you out. I just got business to attend to, you know?

Ain't like this whole motherfucking city ain't got stashes all over it.

Ain't like you can't get a new car anywhere you want...

Ain't no luck at all to this case.

Ain't no need to go back out. You ain't got to prove nothing.

Ain't no need to involve the police in none of this.

Ain't no rules with dope fiends.

Ain't no sugar water run through them veins.

Ain't no thing.

Ain't nobody around to buy.

Ain't nobody gonna do his nephew.

Ain't nobody gonna talk to you.

Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a 40 degree day.

Ain't nothing nobody can do about that.

Ain't you got no sense?

All assuring me that I'll have 20 radio cars back in service...

All citizen complaints will be handled by Lieutenant Mello here.

All different manufacturers.

All due respect, Councilman...

All due respect, Mr. Mayor, we're at 232 now.

All due respect, you can stow that patter right here and now.

All due respect.

All evidence of what he was doing managed to elude the entire command staff?

All glowing reports.

All hand to hand undercover buys of CDS...

All he can do...

All he had to do was tinkle.

All I can tell you is that for more than four weeks now...

All I have is some half assed report.

All I know is Marlo is flying his own colors.

All I know is that from a public health perspective...

All I'm saying is let's give the guy the same backup he's always given us.

All kinds of disrespect.

All like decent and shit, and you know that fucked me up.

All night, you been drinking like your ass is candy.

All of a sudden, this case has legs.

All of it?

All of that shows, Tommy.

All right, I told the other shifts...

All right, I'll talk to you, bushy top.

All right, I'll tell him. Oh, and that other thing?

All right, I'll tell you what. Best I can do for you is this.

All right, let me get 30. Thirty pills.

All right, let's go. Don't lean too forward, that's right.

All right, Lieutenant.

All right, listen up. We gonna have three two minute rounds.

All right, listen up. We gonna have three two minute rounds.

All right, listen, big man, you about to earn your fucking keep around here, right now.

All right, listen. When them police roll out, y'all step in there and take my corners.

All right, look, it's gonna take us some time to get set up...

All right, look, man. When I tell you, put your left foot out, boy.

All right, look, we done talked this shit to death, all right?

All right, look. Me and Slim, we're gonna work through the alleys...

All right, man, if it does what it should...

All right, man. Double the muscle on every stash we got.

All right, meet me in the alley.

All right, now I said I got this.

All right, sit down.

All right, so come in easy.

All right, so what you want me to tell the man?

All right, thanks.

All right, that's enough.

All right, the answer is, we made more.

All right, then, I'm gonna ride the district until the Deputy Major gets in.

All right, then. All those in favor of going together...

All right, then. See you tomorrow.

All right, there it is. Now you getting it. Keep that left hand up.

All right, you know what?

All right. Come on, man, you need a break, all right?

All right. I want you to push me in my chest.

All right. I'll get surveillance going right away.

All right. It feels good to be out here, you know?

All right. Later, man. Hey, you take care of them little ****as, you hear?

All right. Let's do it.

All right. Take it to him, now.

All right. Watch your balance now. Don't lean forward.

All right. What was her day?

All right. You looking fit.

All she wrote for Hamsterdam.

All shifts, all sectors.

All signed and sealed by a registered architect and engineer...

All Stringer, all the time.

All that came back was some bullshit.

All that downtown property Bell has title on?

All that good shit comes out of New York.

All the way from Greenmount to fucking Edison Highway.

All these ex runners, ex lookouts.

All these Spanish? They own paper, too.

All they live for is to get you off.

All things considered, he was a pretty decent kid.

All this beef over a couple of fucking corners.

All this death, you don't think that ripples out?

All this from one disposable cell phone, huh?

All those years knocking my head against a wall on homicide and for what?

All those years you were all about my career.

All three.

All told, we're talking about...

All we gotta do is wait for the re up.

All we need is to firm up the PC...

All y'all kill is grandma's crown?

All you gonna need is the permits.

All you got to do is name a guy.

All you gotta do is add water.

All you gotta do is file the emergency petition...

All you guys from the Terrace coming in like this?

All's I'm saying is, it's not about color.

Allowed the corner boys to have their drink in peace...

Almost forgot. This came in for you last night.

Also, I don't know if you know...

Always.

Am I likely to find less crime, or more incidents...

Am I wrong?

Amazing. Crime is down and no one wants to take any credit.

Amnesty.

An emerging black leader, handsome, well spoken.

An independent with no fucking support...

And 5:00 mean 5:00. I don't truck CP Time. 5:00 and change, I'm gone.

And a bucket full of worms.

And a dead one, too.

And a lot less bodies on the streets than could have been...

And a man in your line of work start worrying about how other people see you.

And a racket and we ain't got no yard.

And about Royce's inner circle.

And after a lot of years and a lot of plans...

And ain't got shit to show for it.

And all that shit is just fine until one day it ain't.

And all the assets work I did on Kintel, his cars, his cash flow...

And all the while, Stringer's using his cell phone...

And all them Fayette Street corners.

And allowed us to delay our response accordingly.

And along Fremont up top.

And an anchorage at nearby Tulagi...

And an intensive reach out into the community...

And any change in that residence.

And Apex just standing over his ass...

And applying for building permits.

And as far as I can tell, you're a decent supervisor.

And ask for 30 or so. Enough so that they have to call for a quick re up.

And at a Baltimore City Council meeting, it shows well.

And at the end, D'Angelo was this close to flipping...

And at this rate, we never will.

And attest that the information contained in this document...

And be like "what the fuck," but, hey, just never on no Sunday, man.

And because of that, we got two fresh homicides in the black...

And before we went and took the wrong turn...

And behaving like assholes in the presence of sworn officers, boss.

And both those things against the promises made.

And Briana wouldn't do that shit.

And by the time Sham say go, Omar damn near in the cab.

And by the way, congratulations.

And Carter actually remembers.

And caught a lovely view of about 700 or 800 discarded beer cans on the garage roof.

And CID's the same.

And Colvin's answer is what?

And coming back is as slim as a garter snake.

And damn near all of them are downtown exchanges.

And Daniels' got his head all up in another case.

And delivers my fucking stat sheets...

And Dominic doesn't miss a beat.

And Dominic is ushered up to him.

And dry cleaning and shit...

And dull. In a good way.

And dumping phones doesn't meet...

And Erv, if you want to do more than just finish out Walker's term...

And failed to protect those citizens...

And Fayette Street in '93, the drug wars.

And find out he's on the Greater Baltimore Committee.

And find your way home.

And for five weeks...

And for what? We're still a long way from a quality target.

And forget to call his mother and fuck the wrong broad...

And four orange sodas.

And from the looks of some of y'all, signing on might be a good thing.

And from the sound of things, Gray is gonna run with him.

And fucking vacation and your fucking retirement plan and what?

And get it right.

And get rid of any shell casings that kick back in the car.

And get the cash when the federal payout money lands...

And given his notable role in identifying the source of the overdose deaths...

And given my client's superlative record during his incarceration...

And given what this institution was dealing with a year ago...

And go after the target of his choice, baby, it's his call.

And he ain't working with the ammunition I got.

And he came to you with that?

And he doesn't fucking know it.

And he gets betrayed by us.

And he responded poorly to that pressure.

And he sat, and he talked to me. We just talked.

And he threw all them papers in the trash.

And he would be sitting out...

And he's dropping bodies, too. Three in the last four months.

And he's never had a single one of his goo goo bills pass the committee.

And he's out in two?

And he's thinking Avon weak right now.

And hell, I had clean corners everywhere I looked.

And Herc takes the alley to cut that off from Calhoun.

And his people out there sitting on they ass.

And his plan aborted.

And his position by walking into a Federal office...

And hit them from the side.

And how many felony arrests did they make last month?

And how we get a wire up on that, I haven't figured out yet.

And how, in all good conscience, can I, as chairman of this subcommittee...

And I believe I can bring about that change...

And I can tell you something. We weren't any angels when we were kids.

And I can try and get you what you need privately.

And I can use that subcommittee to give you what you need.

And I can't do that with a bunch of young hoppers running around...

And I didn't think there was any way I was ever gonna get my head around it...

And I don't think you've met Delegate Watkins.

And I especially want to thank all of our concerned residents...

And I fucking know that motherfucker was in the middle of that mess.

And I got some kids who are interested.

And I have the Public Safety Subcommittee.

And I just kept on pouring, like the thing had a hole in it, you know?

And I keeps one in the chamber, in case you pondering.

And I know he was willing to do what he had to for his family.

And I know I can go around and collect a dollar here and a dollar there.

And I know there ain't nothing to it, but she is all upset, you know?

And I know you went out of your way to get me off that boat.

And I know your natural impulse is to take what you saw back downtown with you.

And I mean, I do the same for her when I can.

And I personally feel their pain.

And I probably let her believe it just to keep peace.

And I ran those East Baltimore gentlemen off.

And I remember a lot about that girl.

And I see all these Federal grants coming down, but nothing for B&B.

And I sent your name over to the Hall. I kept my word.

And I should tell him, what?

And I sincerely mean your girl no disrespect...

And I suck your dick for the next 20 minutes.

And I take the hit.

And I thank you for both, Commissioner.

And I think it was great strategy by his handlers, too.

And I tried to tell her what you told me.

And I understand that people above my pay grade...

And I understand that people above my pay grade...

And I want my corners.

And I'm damn sure we're getting tired of having you. That plain enough?

And I'm having a little trouble getting over it.

And I'm like, "****a, if you want to sell me a new car...

And I'm not asking anymore.

And I'm not sure that I can justify a full term for you.

And I'm saying I'm ready to run now.

And I'm sorry she bothered you.

And I'm sorry you had to see me give that runt back the g pack.

And I'm supposed to give a shit?

And I'm telling you that someone may have done this to us, Avon.

And I'm telling you, this man, his name was Frazier O'Leary.

And if Carcetti or Gray holds hearings...

And if he's quiet, I don't give a fuck if we come back a year from now...

And if I don't play ball...

And if I remember your boy, he had no love for the Barksdale people.

And if I show you where Marlo hides his Mercedes?

And if I'm wrong about that, if indeed there is no manipulation involved...

And if it repeats itself next month...

And if not, the President should appoint an independent prosecutor.

And if that don't work, cheat on the stats.

And if the faggot roll up to pay his respects...

And if the man coming, make ready for the man.

And if there were things that happened up on that post...

And if they looked the other way?

And if they running game, man, they ain't gonna get...

And if this disaster demands anything of us as a city...

And if we're close to Joe, then we're close to Stringer.

And if you do find yourself holding a beer can...

And if you hadn't been the stupidest motherfucker that I ever gone out with...

And if you look at how they use the Federal Communications Act...

And it ain't what people might be thinking or saying, either.

And it gave us permission...

And it grinds me that no one ever spoke up for him.

And it grinds me, too.

And it hit me.

And it is these residents who most need a strong voice at City Hall.

And it's about time all of us had the good sense...

And it's barely October.

And it's like I'm standing outside myself...

And it's walking distance from your church.

And jack a crew and grab vials.

And Jesus, look at this, so that two colonels...

And just get this thing rolling right.

And just one more thing, though, man. You know...

And just wait for some shit to happen, right?

And keep the blood from spraying anywhere near the Hall.

And keep this office informed of your residence...

And land transfers from Circuit Court.

And learn the stare.

And making the game street legal takes the heart out of it.

And making them an offer they couldn't refuse...

And maybe that puts him in contact with some of our monitored cell phones.

And Monk Man and his crew been here for grinding for days...

And most of the City Council will be walking sideways...

And my DEU is out canvassing.

And my guess is the Governor and the Legislature...

And my peoples be down where you want us. Swear to God.

And narcos ain't even blink.

And Narcotics is working the informant angle.

And no money for academy class.

And none of them list subscriber information.

And not only do we hear and appreciate your input, but we are fully committed...

And not so much...

And now all we got is bodies...

And now she's not here.

And now with Colvin, there's a new vacancy.

And now, 'cause we blew a wire over a fucking dog...

And now, he coming at Brianna with this bullshit?

And number sense, geometry and probability.

And number three, don't embarrass yourselves.

And obtain gainful employment and refrain from associating with known criminals...

And of course, if we could get some help at the courthouse, it would go a long way.

And on his way to the corner...

And on that note, I think our Mayor would like to say a few words.

And on the corners.

And once I had the chance to play a different game...

And one last item for you gents.

And other downtown real estate.

And our profit went up, like, eight or nine percent. Yo, get it straight.

And our US Attorney here...

And pacing like a motherfuck, too.

And past the police department, who knows?

And perform the civic duty of bearing witness...

And playing with the remote, then we move.

And predatory motherfuckers like you.

And pretty soon everybody gonna be running around acting like warriors.

And pretty soon, damn near everybody on every corner is your fucking enemy.

And probably scored points with Royce out of sheer loyalty, right?

And Prop Joe hasn't made much noise either.

And put a little COMSTAT on their ass.

And put their lives and livelihood at risk.

And putting this thing together.

And Rawls promised me Daniels and his unit for about a month or so.

And right now they're just thumb up their ass hanging.

And right now, in my capacity as Acting Commissioner...

And right now, the plan is to go for a hand to hand on one lieutenant...

And right now...

And run this goddamn city.

And says, "So where's that money you promised me three years ago...

And Shamrock has a separate phone for calling Bell.

And Shamrock said to go.

And she looks at me like I'm some stupid fuck...

And she looks like the kind who might tell me when my shit stinks...

And she's witnessing against a violent drug crew.

And six other numbers that are all assigned...

And so they made it look like it did.

And so we're gonna come at her like that.

And somebody black.

And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing...

And start emptying your clips then?

And started up with these war games...

And still take the cake.

And still they're worried about catching a wiretap.

And stores in Virginia...

And Stryker said...

And take back your streets.

And take over the situation.

And talk about they got their sights on Omar.

And talked your son out of a deal.

And tell him soldier's finally came into the camp.

And that automatically extends the life of the phone for another 60 days.

And that defeat should not and cannot and will not be forgiven.

And that is from whence I come.

And that is not going to go easy.

And that list comes down to dozens.

And that means I gotta explain to your next of kin...

And that pulled their dicks out, pissed on her crown and shit.

And that should do it, String, you'll be on your way.

And that takes a few days, sometimes a week or more.

And that takes a few days, sometimes a week or more.

And that's a long fucking time to be ignored.

And that's just the ones with West Side addresses.

And that's just what UM and Bon Secours have brought to the table.

And that's only after I had my office threaten to go public on them.

And that's the only fucking thing I'm gonna take with me from this place.

And that's when I about reach my limit.

And that's when the idea of the free zone, of Hamsterdam, come to me...

And that's where I get them.

And that's where I moved my crew.

And the alumni stuff with St. Mary's on the Hill.

And the autopsy report, it backs us up.

And the bill goes down in flames. 122 to 10.

And the chairman says, "Hey, sorry, brother.

And the cops are happy enough to have one less murder to investigate.

And the day you come out.

And the dead blocks down by Vincent Street?

And the eyes... He had little beany eyes.

And the fact that you tried to slither into your work space undetected...

And the longer I have before I have to brief the bosses about this deployment...

And the Mayor forgives and forgets.

And the Mayor's acting like a 10% bump in the murder rate is business as usual.

And the next morning it's just you in your room with yourself.

And the other half's gonna catch what's killing them.

And the Police Commissioner. It's penciled in for next Wednesday.

And the prizewinner? Four armed robberies...

And the properties are condemned.

And the rest of this? Use it to pay them hoppers for the week.

And the shelf life of the shit we got, it ain't gonna last, String.

And the shit with the bag?

And the stories are getting bigger and bigger.

And the thing is, I know you don't wanna go back to them streets.

And the thing is, since the Towers is gone...

And the thing is, you're on the ground floor with what you're holding.

And the thing of it is, if we don't take responsibility and step up...

And the triple at the after hours over on Hudson Street...

And the victim, the girl, had a gun.

And the Western cops rolling by, what were they gonna do?

And the young 'uns out on the scene, they seem to know this Omar fella by sight.

And them boys still gonna be out there on them corners...

And then eight each from two stops over the river in West Virginia.

And then fencing all around the site.

And then home to nest in Woodlawn.

And then I'm begging again for half a shot?

And then I'm begging again for half a shot?

And then Mr. "Reform is more than the watchword of my administration"...

And then put another bat on this motherfucker.

And then roll the lieutenant up?

And then set him down, make it look like, "Goodbye cruel world."

And then they'll go stand on a new spot.

And then we ain't gonna be around to spend what we done made already.

And then we fall down on providing protection.

And then we move.

And then we would start locking people up.

And then, as you get fresh numbers for the new disposables, you call me...

And then, like, the police chief, he come out...

And then, on top of all of that, like, the whole while they was being...

And there goes our tax base right across the line...

And there were some things that happened a long time ago...

And there's Dominic standing in line.

And there's the 14% reduction in crime in the Western.

And they also found a third casing at the other end.

And they damn well know that we'll take it to them if they don't behave.

And they gonna make a substantial contribution...

And they got crews over there...

And they hanging onto it like a tit.

And they know about this downtown?

And they know you're police when they decide to start a family with you...

And they know you're police when they move in...

And they looking at me like I ain't even talking.

And they wanna pay Johns Hopkins money.

And they'll confirm that the class is delayed until next year.

And they're all positive.

And they're gonna stay there until you find Dozerman's gun.

And they're just supposed to let it go on like this?

And they're selling drugs with police permission in Western?

And this asshole Carcetti has no issue.

And this being Baltimore...

And this fucking Royce just lets it slide. I mean, I go to him, right?

And this here is your "get out of jail free" card.

And this is a good neighborhood.

And this is coming from His Honor? To what end?

And this is the crazy part...

And this is the Marlo kid. He's fresh blood for the organization.

And this is what the fuck it looked like yesterday.

And this pay how much?

And those hard boys you talking about...

And those phones were all purchased outside the city.

And three majors can attend a community policing seminar in Miami, Florida.

And three, Tony Gray, from the Fifth District...

And time will tell, won't it?

And to thank you for your service in defense of our city.

And to wish Officer Dozerman a speedy return to duty.

And together we moved immediately...

And toilet paper for the shit bucket, too.

And Tommy, when you get hold of a fact or two...

And toss your weapons.

And treat these brain dead corner yo's like princelings.

And Washington?

And we came up with a rather interesting pattern.

And we can turn this damn city around...

And we can't figure out just to shut up and take notes?

And we do not forget!

And we do not give up! Ever!

And we had to bring you down here this afternoon...

And we keep an eye out for Mr. Barksdale as well.

And we let rip.
