1
00:01:34,211 --> 00:01:35,150
You need another bag ?
2
00:01:35,877 --> 00:01:36,909
Yo, Mike, where you at ?
3
00:01:37,554 --> 00:01:38,258
Yeah, over here.
4
00:01:39,336 --> 00:01:39,985
Drug war ?
5
00:01:44,723 --> 00:01:46,870
Barksdals coming back
on my boy Marlo, hmm ?
6
00:01:48,934 --> 00:01:49,427
Shit.
7
00:01:50,553 --> 00:01:50,928
Got it.
8
00:01:59,267 --> 00:02:00,733
Yo man, I don't know where we at.
9
00:02:01,766 --> 00:02:03,724
We are in Baltimore, Lamar.
10
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:05,812
Baltimore, Maryland.
11
00:03:14,074 --> 00:03:16,960
That's the second crib of mine
them motherfuckers cracked this week.
12
00:03:17,734 --> 00:03:19,118
Stir up a hornet's nest
13
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,300
no tellin' who gonna get stung.
14
00:03:30,946 --> 00:03:32,389
All paranoid an' shit.
15
00:03:33,426 --> 00:03:33,953
Got to be.
16
00:03:51,286 --> 00:03:52,295
They got Latroy.
17
00:03:55,671 --> 00:03:57,724
What the fuck is y'all
on the streets for, man ?
18
00:03:57,747 --> 00:04:00,140
Don't you all know there's
a fucking war going on, man ?
19
00:04:00,164 --> 00:04:01,536
Get the fuck in the truck, man.
20
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:35,570
What happened to all them towers ?
21
00:04:36,696 --> 00:04:37,658
Slow train comin'.
22
00:04:42,092 --> 00:04:43,159
Reform, Lamar.
23
00:04:44,602 --> 00:04:45,317
Reform.
24
00:06:20,061 --> 00:06:21,187
Reformation
25
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,637
We should be up on
this shit, hearin' voices.
26
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:46,382
We get a signature number
on Bodie's phone, we will be.
27
00:06:46,429 --> 00:06:48,236
We got enough P.C.
off the burners alone.
28
00:06:48,845 --> 00:06:51,203
Every time these fucking pen
registers click out a call
29
00:06:51,238 --> 00:06:52,490
it screams drug conspiracy.
30
00:06:52,513 --> 00:06:54,390
I'm not the one
takin' the case to court.
31
00:06:54,425 --> 00:06:57,240
Pearlman wants a specific link
to a known drug trafficker.
32
00:07:04,304 --> 00:07:05,313
These drug crews ?
33
00:07:05,489 --> 00:07:07,718
They're dumping phones
every couple weeks at best.
34
00:07:07,882 --> 00:07:10,251
So when we do get a wire up,
it's gonna be a limited run.
35
00:07:10,427 --> 00:07:13,004
And dumping phones doesn't
meet the cellular company's
36
00:07:13,016 --> 00:07:15,047
definition of exigent
circumstance, huh ?
37
00:07:16,429 --> 00:07:17,860
What's your boss willing to do ?
38
00:07:18,377 --> 00:07:18,916
Demper ?
39
00:07:19,421 --> 00:07:22,175
He's a bit too focused on next
year's re-election fight.
40
00:07:22,339 --> 00:07:23,201
How about the feds ?
41
00:07:23,606 --> 00:07:25,401
They say they can't
do anything for us
42
00:07:25,682 --> 00:07:28,275
and if you look at how they use
the federal communications act
43
00:07:28,287 --> 00:07:29,108
they're not lying.
44
00:07:29,507 --> 00:07:31,793
For national security stuff,
they use the Patriot Act
45
00:07:32,028 --> 00:07:33,365
every thing else gets shorted.
46
00:07:34,033 --> 00:07:36,368
The fact is, the industry
has all of us by the balls.
47
00:07:39,676 --> 00:07:41,013
Pardon my french, Your Honor.
48
00:07:42,996 --> 00:07:44,181
Alright, I'll tell you what.
49
00:07:44,415 --> 00:07:45,752
Best I can do for you is this:
50
00:07:46,198 --> 00:07:49,588
You give me a boilerplate affidavit
with the P.C. from the court report
51
00:07:50,867 --> 00:07:53,307
and then as you get fresh
numbers for new disposables
52
00:07:53,325 --> 00:07:54,041
you call me...
53
00:07:55,085 --> 00:07:58,193
anytime, day or night,
to jump phones.
54
00:07:58,581 --> 00:07:59,472
That helps.
55
00:07:59,930 --> 00:08:01,384
But we're still gonna be getting up
56
00:08:01,396 --> 00:08:03,284
on their phones even
as they're coming down.
57
00:08:03,293 --> 00:08:04,066
Yeah, probably so.
58
00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:06,178
- This is so totally...
- fucked up ?
59
00:08:08,454 --> 00:08:15,809
"Je parle français bien,
et tu es très charmant aujourd'hui."
60
00:08:21,205 --> 00:08:23,011
Judge Phelan has you on his mind.
61
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,501
How long has that been going on ?
62
00:08:26,287 --> 00:08:27,014
Started with...
63
00:08:28,281 --> 00:08:30,228
my first jury trial
in his court, I think.
64
00:08:30,709 --> 00:08:32,046
I bet you won all your motions.
65
00:08:37,905 --> 00:08:39,043
You wanted to see me, sir ?
66
00:08:39,630 --> 00:08:40,251
Have a seat.
67
00:08:44,967 --> 00:08:46,849
I wanna thank you for
the loyalty you showed
68
00:08:47,635 --> 00:08:48,503
moving that body.
69
00:08:50,297 --> 00:08:52,303
It wasn't the most
sensible thing, but...
70
00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:53,755
I appreciate it nonetheless.
71
00:08:55,177 --> 00:08:56,400
You're a good man, Sergeant
72
00:08:57,310 --> 00:08:58,389
you got good instincts
73
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:01,404
and as far as I can tell
you're a decent supervisor.
74
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:04,149
But from where I sit
75
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:07,553
you ain't shit when
it come to policin'.
76
00:09:08,538 --> 00:09:10,650
Don't take it personal,
ain't just you.
77
00:09:10,673 --> 00:09:12,574
It's all our young police.
78
00:09:13,313 --> 00:09:14,533
A whole generation of y'all.
79
00:09:15,565 --> 00:09:16,667
Now, you think about it:
80
00:09:18,157 --> 00:09:20,550
You been here over
a year now, Carver.
81
00:09:20,586 --> 00:09:22,521
You got nobody looking out for you
82
00:09:22,591 --> 00:09:24,163
nobody willing to talk to you.
83
00:09:25,688 --> 00:09:26,685
That about sum it up ?
84
00:09:28,374 --> 00:09:29,335
And that's a problem.
85
00:09:30,426 --> 00:09:31,939
And I didn't think
there was anyway
86
00:09:31,950 --> 00:09:33,628
I was ever gonna
get my head around it.
87
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,739
But then Dozerman
gets shot for some bullshit...
88
00:09:38,164 --> 00:09:39,842
and that's when
I 'bout reach my limit.
89
00:09:41,167 --> 00:09:42,962
And that's when the idea
of the free zone
90
00:09:42,986 --> 00:09:44,088
of Hamsterdam come to me.
91
00:09:44,112 --> 00:09:47,173
Because this drug thing,
this ain't police work.
92
00:09:47,818 --> 00:09:48,991
No, it ain't.
93
00:09:50,375 --> 00:09:53,237
I mean, I can send any fool
with a badge and a gun
94
00:09:53,249 --> 00:09:55,677
up on those corners and
jack a crew and grab vials.
95
00:09:56,733 --> 00:09:57,448
But policing ?
96
00:09:59,983 --> 00:10:02,504
You call something a war,
and pretty soon
97
00:10:02,505 --> 00:10:05,020
everybody gonna running
around acting like warriors.
98
00:10:06,217 --> 00:10:08,516
They gonna be runnin'
around on a damn crusade
99
00:10:08,525 --> 00:10:11,305
stormin' corners, slappin' on
cuffs, rackin' up body counts.
100
00:10:13,065 --> 00:10:15,352
And when you at war,
you need a fuckin' enemy.
101
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:17,311
And pretty soon
102
00:10:17,581 --> 00:10:20,644
damn near everybody on every
corner is your fuckin' enemy
103
00:10:21,535 --> 00:10:24,192
and soon the neighborhood that
you're supposed to be policin'
104
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:25,875
that's just occupied territory.
105
00:10:28,362 --> 00:10:29,277
You follow this ?
106
00:10:30,251 --> 00:10:30,908
I think so.
107
00:10:31,604 --> 00:10:33,868
Look, the point I'm makin',
Carver, is this...
108
00:10:34,349 --> 00:10:36,942
soldierin' and policin',
they ain't the same thing.
109
00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:39,627
And before we went
and took the wrong turn
110
00:10:39,628 --> 00:10:41,528
and started with these war games
111
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,241
the cop walked a beat,
and he learned that post.
112
00:10:47,130 --> 00:10:49,441
And if there were things
that happened up on that post
113
00:10:49,452 --> 00:10:51,669
whether there be a rape,
a robbery, a shooting...
114
00:10:52,502 --> 00:10:55,071
he had people out there helping
him, feeding him information.
115
00:10:56,598 --> 00:10:59,577
But every time I come to you,
my D.E.U. sergeant
116
00:11:00,109 --> 00:11:01,102
for information
117
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:03,963
to find out what's going
on out there on them streets
118
00:11:05,358 --> 00:11:06,978
all that came back
was some bullshit.
119
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:11,601
You had your stats, you had
your arrests, you had your seizures.
120
00:11:12,133 --> 00:11:14,745
But don't none of that amount
to shit when you talking about
121
00:11:14,757 --> 00:11:16,897
protecting a neighborhood
now, do it ?
122
00:11:24,103 --> 00:11:25,640
You know the worst
thing about this
123
00:11:27,094 --> 00:11:28,265
so called drug war ?
124
00:11:28,962 --> 00:11:29,825
To my mind ?
125
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,393
It just ruined this job.
126
00:11:39,242 --> 00:11:39,893
Major ?
127
00:11:40,235 --> 00:11:41,004
What do you got ?
128
00:11:41,181 --> 00:11:41,833
Incoming.
129
00:11:42,601 --> 00:11:43,676
"Sunpapers" reporter.
130
00:11:44,055 --> 00:11:45,805
Been to the free zones,
all three of 'em.
131
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:49,139
It's begun.
132
00:11:54,193 --> 00:11:56,545
I was thinkin', maybe
we rewrite the affidavit
133
00:11:56,557 --> 00:11:59,005
add some of the stuff we're
gettin' from the pen registers
134
00:11:59,016 --> 00:12:00,967
build the case that way,
take it to the judge.
135
00:12:00,991 --> 00:12:02,007
You have a law degree ?
136
00:12:02,114 --> 00:12:04,041
If you did, it would
be your call to make.
137
00:12:04,207 --> 00:12:06,228
Who would pretend to be
a lawyer that wasn't ?
138
00:12:07,529 --> 00:12:08,215
I'm just saying.
139
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:10,012
I think we're being
too cautious on this.
140
00:12:10,024 --> 00:12:11,702
We're going the
extra mile for Phelan.
141
00:12:11,726 --> 00:12:14,161
A short cut now could cost us
later in motions hearings.
142
00:12:14,291 --> 00:12:15,894
We drew Phelan on this wiretap ?
143
00:12:16,119 --> 00:12:18,365
That two-faced hack sold
me out the last go-round.
144
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:19,039
Relax...
145
00:12:19,737 --> 00:12:21,947
he's not running for
a new term. He'll be fine.
146
00:12:21,948 --> 00:12:23,130
He's a piece of shit.
147
00:12:23,213 --> 00:12:25,358
We're all pieces of shit
when we're in your way.
148
00:12:26,055 --> 00:12:27,521
That goes with the territory.
149
00:12:38,395 --> 00:12:39,246
Point taken.
150
00:12:41,492 --> 00:12:43,738
So it's these warehouses
151
00:12:43,951 --> 00:12:47,220
the old Winchester homes and the
dead blocks down by Vincent Street.
152
00:12:47,492 --> 00:12:48,260
All three.
153
00:12:49,301 --> 00:12:51,526
And they're just supposed
to let it go on like this ?
154
00:12:51,535 --> 00:12:54,266
Colvin told us to push the
street dealing in these areas
155
00:12:54,349 --> 00:12:56,352
then we would start
locking people up.
156
00:12:56,659 --> 00:12:58,456
But so far, not a single
fucking arrest.
157
00:12:58,811 --> 00:13:00,241
And they know about this downtown ?
158
00:13:00,265 --> 00:13:02,310
I don't think they have
a fucking clue about it.
159
00:13:02,322 --> 00:13:04,533
But I'd love to be there
when you pop the question.
160
00:13:07,289 --> 00:13:08,258
This is just...
161
00:13:09,322 --> 00:13:10,256
Tell me about it.
162
00:13:19,127 --> 00:13:20,735
Got the place lookin' good.
163
00:13:20,853 --> 00:13:21,420
Yeah.
164
00:13:21,621 --> 00:13:24,754
Now all needs doin' is to go
out and get you some kids.
165
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:25,849
Come on, man.
166
00:13:26,571 --> 00:13:27,753
You makin' it sound easy
167
00:13:28,592 --> 00:13:30,117
but to tell you the truth
168
00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:33,451
I ain't got no idea how
to go at these hoppers.
169
00:13:33,475 --> 00:13:35,414
I wouldn't lose
any sleep over that.
170
00:13:36,052 --> 00:13:37,532
Nobody else does neither.
171
00:13:46,198 --> 00:13:47,061
We got one.
172
00:13:48,282 --> 00:13:49,003
His grandmother...
173
00:13:49,298 --> 00:13:50,031
Looking for me ?
174
00:13:50,043 --> 00:13:52,904
Look, boy, there's no reason
to leave your clothes in the washer.
175
00:13:52,963 --> 00:13:55,091
How many damn times
do I have to tell you...
176
00:13:55,115 --> 00:13:57,681
Gag, grandma, sorry,
I just forgot, okay ?
177
00:13:58,059 --> 00:14:00,367
But I did pick up the laundry
soap, I picked it up...
178
00:14:00,390 --> 00:14:02,022
Laundry soap,
that's definitely code.
179
00:14:02,105 --> 00:14:04,717
Now, let's listen to an intercept
we made of Bodie Broadus
180
00:14:04,718 --> 00:14:07,259
when we were up on the pay
phones a couple years back.
181
00:14:08,393 --> 00:14:09,270
I'm tellin' ya all
182
00:14:09,386 --> 00:14:11,668
I saw the boy he sayin'
he ain't got that thing.
183
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:13,335
Same voice, no question.
184
00:14:13,583 --> 00:14:14,623
I'll let the judge know.
185
00:14:15,191 --> 00:14:17,414
Reference the voice comparison
in the court report.
186
00:14:17,484 --> 00:14:18,667
We're up.
187
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,658
Major Colvin, Western district.
188
00:14:27,883 --> 00:14:29,753
Banisky, "Sunpapers".
189
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:31,491
So this your idea ?
190
00:14:35,913 --> 00:14:36,930
Mind if we walk ?
191
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:44,454
You got dealers
selling with impunity.
192
00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:47,102
Addicts shooting up on the street.
193
00:14:47,753 --> 00:14:50,661
People down here doing outreach,
giving out needles and all.
194
00:14:51,264 --> 00:14:53,403
I mean, who knows about
this down at headquarters ?
195
00:14:53,415 --> 00:14:55,472
Command is well
aware of the situation
196
00:14:56,253 --> 00:14:58,925
and while there were
some initial concern
197
00:14:58,948 --> 00:15:01,153
but they feel the cases
that we're gonna bring in...
198
00:15:01,165 --> 00:15:01,709
Cases ?
199
00:15:02,146 --> 00:15:03,565
Yeah, prosecutions, sure.
200
00:15:03,589 --> 00:15:06,663
Your officers say no one's being
locked up in the free zones.
201
00:15:06,686 --> 00:15:08,949
My troops are only involved
in pushing the trafficking
202
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:09,961
to designated areas.
203
00:15:10,044 --> 00:15:12,622
I mean they're completely ignorant
of the investigative aspect
204
00:15:12,631 --> 00:15:14,070
that's run out of C.I.D. downtown.
205
00:15:14,093 --> 00:15:14,661
Yeah ?
206
00:15:14,992 --> 00:15:16,198
Who's the lead detective ?
207
00:15:17,309 --> 00:15:18,030
Look...
208
00:15:19,853 --> 00:15:21,319
I already said more than I should.
209
00:15:21,933 --> 00:15:24,688
Bottom line is you start
throwing calls around right now
210
00:15:25,657 --> 00:15:27,750
they gonna shit blue
thinking there's a leak.
211
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:29,583
They gonna come up
on the case early
212
00:15:29,594 --> 00:15:31,894
and we're not gonna get all
we can out of the good work
213
00:15:31,905 --> 00:15:32,638
we did down here.
214
00:15:32,709 --> 00:15:35,322
You're telling me all this
is an enforcement strategy.
215
00:15:36,883 --> 00:15:38,621
What the hell else could it be ?
216
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,555
I mean, you think we'd actually
let this happen otherwise ?
217
00:15:43,063 --> 00:15:44,163
Come on, Banisky.
218
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:46,433
I mean, look, look at this mess.
219
00:15:48,111 --> 00:15:49,767
Any other reporter gets on it...
220
00:15:51,661 --> 00:15:54,309
I give it to you and you
run with it right then.
221
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:55,633
Absolutely.
222
00:15:57,288 --> 00:15:57,891
A week.
223
00:15:58,116 --> 00:16:00,150
But then I gotta run
something no matter what.
224
00:16:01,503 --> 00:16:02,851
Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
225
00:16:02,863 --> 00:16:03,643
It's understood.
226
00:16:07,616 --> 00:16:09,413
So, Brother, what
brought you back ?
227
00:16:10,465 --> 00:16:13,084
It disturbs me to leave
business unfinished.
228
00:16:14,267 --> 00:16:16,868
Heard you was shot before
you even got started down here.
229
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:18,972
Not like you to get played.
230
00:16:19,374 --> 00:16:20,734
Betrayed, you mean.
231
00:16:21,467 --> 00:16:23,193
I am looking for the man they sent.
232
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,512
From his accent he's homegrown,
raised on the street.
233
00:16:27,209 --> 00:16:30,000
Skilled, intelligent.
Late 20s, dark
234
00:16:30,709 --> 00:16:33,866
but with a scar
across his face like so.
235
00:16:35,785 --> 00:16:36,968
You down with this nigger ?
236
00:16:37,405 --> 00:16:38,008
I know him.
237
00:16:38,611 --> 00:16:39,498
Not to speak to
238
00:16:40,645 --> 00:16:42,335
but you can't be
anywhere near the game
239
00:16:42,359 --> 00:16:43,695
and not know
the motherfucker.
240
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:45,853
He with Barksdale ?
241
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,555
He with himself.
242
00:16:48,655 --> 00:16:51,007
'Cept for when he runnin'
with a young boy or two...
243
00:16:53,372 --> 00:16:55,216
10 months to the primary,
and you right now
244
00:16:55,228 --> 00:16:56,310
should be all about money.
245
00:16:56,322 --> 00:16:58,603
I know, I know,
dialing for dollars.
246
00:16:58,615 --> 00:17:01,500
You start this week and you don't
stop until you hit your numbers.
247
00:17:01,807 --> 00:17:03,864
We're gonna need a million
just for television.
248
00:17:03,888 --> 00:17:05,307
You really think this is doable ?
249
00:17:05,561 --> 00:17:07,606
The odds aren't great, but yeah...
250
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:09,249
I think it can be done.
251
00:17:09,687 --> 00:17:12,406
As long as the thousand things
that can go wrong don't go wrong.
252
00:17:12,453 --> 00:17:13,470
Even for a white guy ?
253
00:17:14,262 --> 00:17:15,208
Even for a white guy.
254
00:17:15,693 --> 00:17:17,081
Speaking of which
255
00:17:17,555 --> 00:17:20,801
I notice a certain
monochromatic effect here.
256
00:17:21,421 --> 00:17:23,868
One thing we're gonna
need is black faces
257
00:17:24,495 --> 00:17:26,688
and we're gonna need them
in prominent positions.
258
00:17:26,830 --> 00:17:27,362
You're right.
259
00:17:27,705 --> 00:17:30,329
We've gotta start thinking about
endorsements by black leaders.
260
00:17:30,341 --> 00:17:33,096
Ministers, community people,
elected officials.
261
00:17:33,593 --> 00:17:34,899
Here comes the hard part:
262
00:17:35,219 --> 00:17:38,304
Splitting the black vote is the
only way to make the math work.
263
00:17:38,955 --> 00:17:40,858
So Tony Gray's gotta
get in the race
264
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:43,766
he's gotta stay in the race and
he's gotta stay viable in the race.
265
00:17:43,873 --> 00:17:45,565
Guy's kind of a lightweight,
ain't he ?
266
00:17:45,576 --> 00:17:46,924
He's a good guy, all in all.
267
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:48,757
Great, he's a good guy
268
00:17:49,159 --> 00:17:51,440
but we need him to siphon
votes from Royce.
269
00:17:51,582 --> 00:17:52,138
I dunno.
270
00:17:53,001 --> 00:17:53,994
This thing with Tony...
271
00:17:54,751 --> 00:17:56,262
it's not personal, Tommy.
272
00:17:56,629 --> 00:17:57,622
It's politics.
273
00:17:58,934 --> 00:17:59,963
Live with it or lose.
274
00:18:04,207 --> 00:18:04,916
Hey, yo.
275
00:18:04,976 --> 00:18:07,323
That boy with the sharp nose,
he gonna, you know...
276
00:18:07,335 --> 00:18:08,363
he going to the Apollo.
277
00:18:08,375 --> 00:18:09,179
The Apollo ?
278
00:18:09,285 --> 00:18:11,059
Yeah, he gonna need two tickets.
279
00:18:11,248 --> 00:18:13,187
Damn, Tweety Bird
workin' that shit.
280
00:18:13,199 --> 00:18:16,107
Motherfucker, how many times
I gotta tell you not to use no names ?
281
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,152
Oh yeah, right.
So I holler at you ?
282
00:18:18,448 --> 00:18:19,453
Yeah, a-ight.
283
00:18:21,238 --> 00:18:22,621
Apollo, like the theater ?
284
00:18:22,657 --> 00:18:24,016
Like 125th Street.
285
00:18:24,229 --> 00:18:26,700
125 grams, one eighth of a kilo.
286
00:18:26,724 --> 00:18:28,268
Two tickets means twice that.
287
00:18:28,303 --> 00:18:30,159
Only new code so
far is Hamsterdam.
288
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:31,247
Hamsterdam ?
289
00:18:31,354 --> 00:18:34,226
We're thinkin' it might have
something to do with the stash house.
290
00:18:34,865 --> 00:18:37,513
Well, I'm gonna hook up with Kima,
cash the Tweety Bird meet.
291
00:18:39,504 --> 00:18:41,183
You're happy with
what we're getting ?
292
00:18:41,727 --> 00:18:44,399
Another week of calls like this
and we'll have their network
293
00:18:44,434 --> 00:18:46,681
fleshed out and plenty
more phones to go up on.
294
00:18:48,686 --> 00:18:50,282
I need a moment with the detectives.
295
00:18:51,701 --> 00:18:52,174
Sure.
296
00:18:56,678 --> 00:18:58,535
I.I.D. picked up Prez's shooting.
297
00:18:58,641 --> 00:18:59,522
It's to be expected.
298
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:02,146
The racial thing alone is tense
enough that they gotta react.
299
00:19:02,158 --> 00:19:03,825
No luck at all to that boy, huh ?
300
00:19:05,634 --> 00:19:07,065
For the supervisor's report
301
00:19:08,058 --> 00:19:09,364
I need to ask if either of you
302
00:19:09,376 --> 00:19:11,882
had any indication that Prez
harbored racial prejudices.
303
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:15,181
Well, he harbored
some weird shit, no doubt.
304
00:19:15,477 --> 00:19:16,801
But I never got a racial vibe.
305
00:19:17,073 --> 00:19:18,574
Lieutenant, you seriously askin' ?
306
00:19:26,679 --> 00:19:27,660
Not to start no shit
307
00:19:27,719 --> 00:19:29,848
but you think Waggoner
gets shot if he's white ?
308
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:32,472
Description called
for a number one male.
309
00:19:32,685 --> 00:19:33,631
I'm just sayin'.
310
00:19:36,835 --> 00:19:40,535
The good lord set sunday
mornin' aside for church-goin'.
311
00:19:40,914 --> 00:19:43,770
Even kenny bird and peanut,
when they was warring,
312
00:19:43,782 --> 00:19:45,862
had the good sense
to respect the truce.
313
00:19:46,867 --> 00:19:48,593
You know them
Barksdales sent a hat ?
314
00:19:50,591 --> 00:19:51,561
A church crown ?
315
00:19:52,314 --> 00:19:54,891
Walked up, rang the bell,
and set it down on her porch.
316
00:19:55,269 --> 00:19:56,286
'Cause they shamed.
317
00:19:59,171 --> 00:20:00,684
Is Miss Josephine mendin' ?
318
00:20:00,696 --> 00:20:02,688
She bruised up still,
but she a-ight though.
319
00:20:03,859 --> 00:20:04,662
But you ain't.
320
00:20:05,632 --> 00:20:07,071
Not until I settle this for good.
321
00:20:13,219 --> 00:20:16,009
Hey, yo, Butch, I want you
to go inside my bank
322
00:20:16,588 --> 00:20:17,421
and spread the word:
323
00:20:17,433 --> 00:20:20,022
Omar payin' cash money to get
at them people, ya feel me ?
324
00:20:20,555 --> 00:20:21,323
Save your money.
325
00:20:21,548 --> 00:20:23,238
Come now, Butch,
I got to do this, yo.
326
00:20:23,250 --> 00:20:24,669
I'm sayin' you ain't got to pay.
327
00:20:28,246 --> 00:20:29,582
Thomkins, up on McCulloh.
328
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,176
What the funeral home ?
329
00:20:36,605 --> 00:20:39,437
You mean to tell me, all this time,
you had a scope on them clowns
330
00:20:39,448 --> 00:20:41,139
and you ain't let loose
a mumblin' word.
331
00:20:41,151 --> 00:20:42,700
Caught myself lookin' out for you.
332
00:20:43,504 --> 00:20:46,080
Fact of the matter is,
your chances of goin' up
333
00:20:46,081 --> 00:20:49,480
against that mob and comin'
back is as slim as a garter snake.
334
00:20:54,450 --> 00:20:55,750
I can't help that now, Butch.
335
00:21:02,448 --> 00:21:03,856
The fuck ?
Where's my people ?
336
00:21:04,337 --> 00:21:05,439
Slim Charles pulled 'em.
337
00:21:05,838 --> 00:21:06,671
Hired new muscle.
338
00:21:06,917 --> 00:21:08,759
Slim Charles ?
When the fuck did he...
339
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:11,944
How's the count ?
340
00:21:12,625 --> 00:21:14,419
Down bad for the
third straight week.
341
00:21:14,818 --> 00:21:16,531
And the shelf-life
of the shit we got
342
00:21:16,636 --> 00:21:17,903
it ain't gonna last, String.
343
00:21:25,342 --> 00:21:25,999
I know.
344
00:21:26,409 --> 00:21:28,626
Slim said they was to stick
to you for protection.
345
00:21:35,251 --> 00:21:35,990
Nice shot.
346
00:21:36,506 --> 00:21:38,289
Dribble it back out.
Dribble it back out.
347
00:21:38,734 --> 00:21:39,685
Get your dribble on.
348
00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:43,086
Hey, yo, easy, easy.
349
00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:45,099
Y'all just hacking my man up.
350
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:46,389
Foul machine.
351
00:21:49,498 --> 00:21:50,213
Nice drive.
352
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,955
Kinda unschooled, ain't they ?
353
00:21:58,101 --> 00:22:00,635
Is that observation meant as
just a casual curbside fuck-you
354
00:22:00,659 --> 00:22:02,923
or are you lookin' to step up,
maybe help out here ?
355
00:22:04,318 --> 00:22:05,386
I'ma give it a try.
356
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:08,531
I'm lookin' to get some
kids interested in boxin'.
357
00:22:10,537 --> 00:22:10,959
Boxing ?
358
00:22:13,692 --> 00:22:14,349
Look here.
359
00:22:15,393 --> 00:22:16,672
This is my time-out corner.
360
00:22:17,525 --> 00:22:19,824
Where I send children
who can't play nice together.
361
00:22:21,102 --> 00:22:23,941
Listen up, this man's
starting a boxing program.
362
00:22:23,964 --> 00:22:26,897
And from the looks of some of you,
signing on might be a good thing.
363
00:22:27,009 --> 00:22:27,877
Gonna need it.
364
00:22:28,135 --> 00:22:30,011
Only thing he know
how to do with his fist
365
00:22:30,023 --> 00:22:31,278
is wrap it around his cock.
366
00:22:31,736 --> 00:22:32,533
Fuck you, man.
367
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:33,601
I'm gonna kick your ass.
368
00:22:33,613 --> 00:22:35,314
Come on, motherfucker,
you ain't shit.
369
00:22:36,905 --> 00:22:39,369
Yo, sit down, sit down,
come on, ease up.
370
00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:42,501
Sit down, sit down, come on,
man, sit down, man, sit down.
371
00:22:44,037 --> 00:22:44,765
My man...
372
00:22:50,653 --> 00:22:52,705
my man, you droppin' your right.
373
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:56,295
You see, if the youngun there
was trained, he'd whip you.
374
00:22:56,412 --> 00:22:57,961
Look like he was the one got beat.
375
00:23:00,489 --> 00:23:02,072
Stand up, let me
show you something.
376
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:05,697
Come on, man.
I ain't gonna hurt you.
377
00:23:07,581 --> 00:23:09,809
Yellow Tops, Yellow Tops,
got them Yellow Tops.
378
00:23:10,511 --> 00:23:11,379
Yellow tops.
379
00:23:12,822 --> 00:23:13,432
See that ?
380
00:23:14,335 --> 00:23:15,790
Alright, sit down.
381
00:23:16,458 --> 00:23:18,711
Look, if y'all want to learn more
382
00:23:19,696 --> 00:23:23,117
I got a gym down on Gilmor
in the old tire plant.
383
00:23:24,055 --> 00:23:24,900
You're all welcome.
384
00:23:25,897 --> 00:23:26,519
Alright ?
385
00:23:42,428 --> 00:23:44,094
I saw Tweety Bird parked up there.
386
00:23:45,255 --> 00:23:47,167
Now all we got to do
is wait for the re-up.
387
00:23:47,929 --> 00:23:50,733
I hope these fucks don't dick 'round
and make us sit here all day.
388
00:23:52,082 --> 00:23:53,196
What, this eatin' at you ?
389
00:23:55,483 --> 00:23:56,327
No, I'm good.
390
00:23:58,427 --> 00:23:59,600
Yeah, I can see that.
391
00:24:03,541 --> 00:24:05,358
Remember that woman
I was talking about ?
392
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,352
The politician woman ?
393
00:24:08,091 --> 00:24:08,900
How's it going ?
394
00:24:09,487 --> 00:24:10,742
It ain't, it turned to shit.
395
00:24:15,409 --> 00:24:18,600
Feel like I don't even belong to any
world that even fucking matters.
396
00:24:19,562 --> 00:24:20,477
'Cause you're a cop ?
397
00:24:21,556 --> 00:24:22,787
Naw, it's not just that.
398
00:24:25,478 --> 00:24:26,944
It's like, I went to meet her once.
399
00:24:26,956 --> 00:24:28,763
She was in a hotel
room, the top floor.
400
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,606
I punch the button on the elevator,
it doesn't even go there
401
00:24:31,607 --> 00:24:33,715
because you have to have
some fucking special key
402
00:24:33,727 --> 00:24:35,627
to even get to that
special fucking floor.
403
00:24:36,976 --> 00:24:40,061
So I go to the front desk, some
sneering fuck call upstairs
404
00:24:40,448 --> 00:24:42,032
gimme permission to go get laid.
405
00:24:44,770 --> 00:24:46,376
I listen to the shit she talks about
406
00:24:46,377 --> 00:24:49,309
and for the first time in my life,
I feel like a fucking doormat.
407
00:24:49,766 --> 00:24:51,323
Like anyone with
any smarts would
408
00:24:52,191 --> 00:24:54,161
do something else with
his life, you know ?
409
00:24:54,537 --> 00:24:55,557
Earn money or...
410
00:24:56,894 --> 00:24:57,598
get elected.
411
00:24:59,229 --> 00:25:01,754
Like I'm just a breathin'
machine for my fucking dick.
412
00:25:05,062 --> 00:25:05,743
I'm serious.
413
00:25:07,232 --> 00:25:09,074
I'm the smartest asshole
in three districts
414
00:25:09,097 --> 00:25:11,033
and she looks at me like
I'm some stupid fuck
415
00:25:11,056 --> 00:25:14,249
playing some stupid game
for stupid penny-ante stakes.
416
00:25:17,498 --> 00:25:19,117
She fuckin' looks through me, Kima.
417
00:25:31,149 --> 00:25:32,046
Stay in the car, man.
418
00:25:32,107 --> 00:25:34,031
But the tall man said
to stick to you like...
419
00:25:34,054 --> 00:25:36,670
Tall man gonna be there when
I'm stomp on your fucking head ?
420
00:25:37,489 --> 00:25:38,170
Stay in the car.
421
00:25:50,288 --> 00:25:52,798
Yo, make it short, man,
I got a meet to make.
422
00:25:52,857 --> 00:25:54,124
Oh, fuck the meet !
423
00:25:54,511 --> 00:25:57,080
You harder to get at than
my fat wife's cunt, nigger.
424
00:25:57,303 --> 00:25:58,906
Yeah, you high and
mighty Barksdales
425
00:25:58,907 --> 00:26:00,817
can afford to sit back
and play low key,
426
00:26:01,408 --> 00:26:03,430
But some of us gotta work
for a got-damn livin'.
427
00:26:03,453 --> 00:26:05,822
What you think this mess
ain't fuckin' up our business ?
428
00:26:05,834 --> 00:26:08,251
That mean Avon's willin' to sit
down and talk with Marlo
429
00:26:08,274 --> 00:26:09,142
work this shit out ?
430
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,304
Well, if that don't happen,
String, I got you some bad news.
431
00:26:16,749 --> 00:26:18,579
Me and the boys had us a sit down.
432
00:26:18,884 --> 00:26:20,855
Got a quorum an'
took a vote that says...
433
00:26:21,535 --> 00:26:24,335
if y'all don't quit this war
we of a mind to shut you out.
434
00:26:24,769 --> 00:26:27,068
And when I say out, String,
I mean out the package.
435
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,472
The boys don't want
to extend the good shit
436
00:26:29,496 --> 00:26:32,370
if it's gonna keep you and your
peoples out on them corners bangin'.
437
00:26:32,381 --> 00:26:34,258
What about the boy ?
What the fuck he say ?
438
00:26:34,411 --> 00:26:35,877
Vinson say Marlo willing to talk
439
00:26:36,651 --> 00:26:38,000
if he can keep his corners.
440
00:26:40,311 --> 00:26:42,704
Now, hear me on this,
String, we ain't no ingrates.
441
00:26:43,091 --> 00:26:45,648
We all recognize your
contribute to the co-op.
442
00:26:46,271 --> 00:26:47,573
But the feeling is this:
443
00:26:48,124 --> 00:26:50,541
it ain't right for you to be
at the head of our table
444
00:26:50,564 --> 00:26:52,019
when you can't call off your dog.
445
00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:56,617
Call it a crisis of leadership.
446
00:27:03,138 --> 00:27:04,147
You're gonna tell 'em ?
447
00:27:05,531 --> 00:27:06,059
Got to.
448
00:27:06,856 --> 00:27:08,806
Between the health care
workers, the reporter
449
00:27:08,892 --> 00:27:11,133
my own pissed-off troops,
it's gonna come out.
450
00:27:12,834 --> 00:27:14,335
Either tomorrow, or the next day.
451
00:27:14,804 --> 00:27:16,177
Then we should make a few arrests
452
00:27:16,845 --> 00:27:17,866
make it look tactical.
453
00:27:18,312 --> 00:27:19,009
Naw.
454
00:27:20,428 --> 00:27:23,373
You know what happens if we start
lockin' people up in Hamsterdam ?
455
00:27:24,522 --> 00:27:27,173
The whole rest of the district
goes back to being a shithole.
456
00:27:29,027 --> 00:27:29,443
Naw.
457
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:32,704
If Rawls is gonna hand me my ass
458
00:27:34,111 --> 00:27:36,774
at least give me a chance
to tell the man my story first.
459
00:27:52,446 --> 00:27:53,021
Devonne.
460
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,101
It needed doin'.
461
00:28:12,582 --> 00:28:13,778
Somebody just got shot.
462
00:28:18,435 --> 00:28:21,251
What you want I should give the
snitch that clued us to the denali.
463
00:28:21,591 --> 00:28:24,092
I mean we didn't
get Marlo, but still...
464
00:28:24,526 --> 00:28:26,297
No, he kept his end up.
465
00:28:26,414 --> 00:28:27,024
Go it all.
466
00:28:27,458 --> 00:28:29,711
Avon, I need a word, man.
467
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,540
A-ight, get them
things out of here.
468
00:28:34,241 --> 00:28:35,144
Check it out, String.
469
00:28:35,707 --> 00:28:38,041
This shit got a kill range
of like 50 meters.
470
00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:41,666
Slim got this from some soldier
comin' back from wherever.
471
00:28:46,721 --> 00:28:48,140
I spoke to Prop Joe's people.
472
00:28:49,677 --> 00:28:51,085
They think we can work this out.
473
00:28:51,448 --> 00:28:52,199
A sit-down ?
474
00:28:52,445 --> 00:28:54,346
It's the perfect time
for it, man, I mean...
475
00:28:55,308 --> 00:28:56,871
you done represented yourself, man.
476
00:28:56,895 --> 00:28:58,584
Your name ringin' out
now that you done
477
00:28:58,596 --> 00:29:00,202
taken Marlo down
a notch or two, man.
478
00:29:00,203 --> 00:29:01,552
So why not quit while we ahead.
479
00:29:02,103 --> 00:29:03,719
Just let me get this
thing right, man
480
00:29:03,738 --> 00:29:05,839
then, you know, we get
back to business as usual.
481
00:29:05,858 --> 00:29:07,116
They gonna cut us out, Avon !
482
00:29:07,288 --> 00:29:09,382
Prop Joe and them niggers,
man, they took a vote.
483
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:10,326
They gonna cut us out.
484
00:29:10,338 --> 00:29:12,707
We ain't gonna have that dope,
so even if we win, we lose
485
00:29:12,731 --> 00:29:15,839
'cause we ain't gonna have no product
to put on those fucking corners, B.
486
00:29:15,863 --> 00:29:16,696
Avon, look at you.
487
00:29:17,083 --> 00:29:19,811
Fuckin' shooting dope without
a fucking needle right now, man
488
00:29:19,822 --> 00:29:22,637
getting high on a power trip,
playin' fucking soldier.
489
00:29:23,376 --> 00:29:25,664
Yo, you gotta sit back, man,
think about our business.
490
00:29:25,687 --> 00:29:26,731
What the fuck you want ?
491
00:29:34,105 --> 00:29:36,463
That motherfucker, he good.
492
00:29:37,823 --> 00:29:38,539
What happened ?
493
00:29:43,781 --> 00:29:46,925
You know, Avon, you gotta think about
why we got in this game for, man.
494
00:29:48,238 --> 00:29:49,012
Was it the rep ?
495
00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:51,671
Was it so our names could ring out
496
00:29:51,695 --> 00:29:53,650
on some fucking ghetto
street corners, man ?
497
00:29:53,677 --> 00:29:56,269
Naw, man, there's games
beyond the fucking game.
498
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:00,827
Avon, look, you and me,
we brothers, B.
499
00:30:01,191 --> 00:30:03,390
We ain't think we make it
this fucking far, but fuck
500
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:04,562
if we ain't standing here
501
00:30:04,563 --> 00:30:06,470
right now, with the
whole world at our feet.
502
00:30:07,390 --> 00:30:09,507
The whole world, man,
not these fucking corners.
503
00:30:10,093 --> 00:30:11,102
The whole world, B.
504
00:30:12,650 --> 00:30:14,081
You know what Slim just told me ?
505
00:30:16,463 --> 00:30:17,753
Devonne come up dead.
506
00:30:20,857 --> 00:30:22,945
She was shot one in the
mouth, one in each tit.
507
00:30:26,593 --> 00:30:28,329
You still want to
talk truce, String ?
508
00:30:31,803 --> 00:30:34,137
You right when you say I need
to learn more discipline.
509
00:30:34,665 --> 00:30:35,298
But this...
510
00:30:36,870 --> 00:30:37,984
you could do this better...
511
00:30:38,383 --> 00:30:39,932
You're the perfect bait, Lamar.
512
00:30:40,372 --> 00:30:41,662
They'll see you as conflicted.
513
00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:43,938
Your homophobia is so visceral.
514
00:30:44,899 --> 00:30:45,697
You see that ?
515
00:30:46,037 --> 00:30:47,855
I ain't even stepped
inside the joint yet
516
00:30:47,879 --> 00:30:49,697
and you callin' me
a cocksucker already.
517
00:31:18,493 --> 00:31:19,537
You in the right place ?
518
00:31:21,109 --> 00:31:22,833
I'm lookin' for someone name Omar.
519
00:31:23,557 --> 00:31:26,267
No last name.
Scar across his face an' shit.
520
00:31:26,748 --> 00:31:27,839
Scarface named Omar.
521
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,595
Sounds different,
but I can't help you.
522
00:31:30,818 --> 00:31:31,463
You drinking ?
523
00:31:38,395 --> 00:31:40,002
Maybe you wait four years.
524
00:31:41,304 --> 00:31:43,427
No, it has to be now.
525
00:31:45,317 --> 00:31:47,733
It's gotta be a three-way
and Tony's gonna go this time.
526
00:31:51,264 --> 00:31:51,874
I'm just...
527
00:31:54,103 --> 00:31:56,057
Tony's my oldest
friend on the council.
528
00:31:57,910 --> 00:31:59,682
Well, couldn't you
go talk to him first ?
529
00:32:00,714 --> 00:32:01,664
Put it on the table ?
530
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:03,916
You know, may
the best man win...
531
00:32:04,303 --> 00:32:05,218
Truth is...
532
00:32:07,522 --> 00:32:09,375
he can't win alone
against Royce, either.
533
00:32:11,639 --> 00:32:13,832
He's got the bumper stickers,
but not much else.
534
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,609
Wants to run on education.
535
00:32:18,181 --> 00:32:18,849
I mean...
536
00:32:20,562 --> 00:32:21,805
where do you go with that ?
537
00:32:23,835 --> 00:32:26,732
If I level with Tony and he
gets out, then I can't win.
538
00:32:28,398 --> 00:32:29,688
I need him in the race.
539
00:32:37,078 --> 00:32:38,028
I feel like shit.
540
00:32:39,425 --> 00:32:40,152
I really do.
541
00:33:08,382 --> 00:33:09,614
Don't look like much.
542
00:33:12,583 --> 00:33:14,307
This some weak ass
shit right here.
543
00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:14,858
Hells yeah.
544
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:17,427
Man, we got lockers,
you got gear.
545
00:33:17,615 --> 00:33:18,812
It's all peelin' and shit.
546
00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:19,902
Go long.
547
00:33:21,925 --> 00:33:22,758
Pass it here.
548
00:33:27,708 --> 00:33:29,338
You gettin' me all dirty and shit.
549
00:33:29,526 --> 00:33:30,789
What's wrong with you ?
550
00:33:30,825 --> 00:33:32,361
Fuck you, bitch.
551
00:33:33,464 --> 00:33:36,261
We clocked the meet with Tweety Bird,
stayed on him overnight,
552
00:33:36,285 --> 00:33:39,505
tracked him to a possible stash house
and then home to nest in Woodlawn.
553
00:33:39,534 --> 00:33:41,012
Got photos, his tags...
554
00:33:43,912 --> 00:33:44,628
What happened ?
555
00:33:44,909 --> 00:33:46,294
They ditched their phones.
556
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:50,200
The D.N.R.S and the wire all
died around three o'clock.
557
00:33:50,563 --> 00:33:52,780
We were on line just shy 30 hours.
558
00:33:55,055 --> 00:33:57,601
I thought we had them on their
burners for a couple of weeks.
559
00:33:57,624 --> 00:34:00,135
Not anymore, it's a week at best.
560
00:34:00,545 --> 00:34:04,205
We just spent $9,000 and
change for 18 intercepts.
561
00:34:04,991 --> 00:34:06,225
Five of them non-pertinent.
562
00:34:08,148 --> 00:34:10,318
That's close to $700 per drug call.
563
00:34:10,823 --> 00:34:12,242
Until we see which way this goes
564
00:34:12,266 --> 00:34:14,436
shouldn't we get back
on Bernard and his girl ?
565
00:34:14,483 --> 00:34:16,442
I mean, get a line on
the new phones at least.
566
00:34:16,512 --> 00:34:19,651
But that'll only give us
what we just had: 30 hours.
567
00:34:22,127 --> 00:34:24,085
Anyway to get ourselves
ahead of the curve ?
568
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:28,483
If there were some way
to pre-wiretap the burners...
569
00:34:28,575 --> 00:34:29,220
What then ?
570
00:34:29,970 --> 00:34:31,730
Stick 'em on the rack
at Baba whatever's
571
00:34:31,765 --> 00:34:33,595
and wait for Bernard
to show up that day ?
572
00:34:33,619 --> 00:34:35,167
The problem is the wireless people.
573
00:34:35,718 --> 00:34:37,610
They claim it takes
a minimum of four days
574
00:34:37,645 --> 00:34:39,709
to process a court order
and that's only after
575
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:41,856
I had my office threatened
to go public on them.
576
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,097
Four days to hit
a couple of keystrokes.
577
00:34:44,144 --> 00:34:44,789
Bullshit.
578
00:34:46,666 --> 00:34:47,716
What if...
579
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:51,763
no way.
580
00:34:52,502 --> 00:34:53,710
I know what you're thinking.
581
00:34:53,721 --> 00:34:55,563
I just thought the
same fucking thing.
582
00:34:58,948 --> 00:34:59,781
Alright, look, man.
583
00:34:59,792 --> 00:35:01,517
You wanna take your
left foot out, man.
584
00:35:02,807 --> 00:35:04,801
Hey, unc's playin'
wit my man's feet.
585
00:35:04,930 --> 00:35:06,279
Yeah, he smellin' up my ass, too.
586
00:35:06,593 --> 00:35:08,082
Stop with the damn clownin', man.
587
00:35:09,232 --> 00:35:11,942
How you gonna learn somethin'
actin' like a damn fool ?
588
00:35:13,326 --> 00:35:15,989
Ain't no big mystery why
your face got tattooed.
589
00:35:16,012 --> 00:35:18,061
Shit, that man can't
talk to you like that.
590
00:35:18,096 --> 00:35:20,266
I seen his ragged ass up
the spot, copin' vials.
591
00:35:20,278 --> 00:35:22,166
Yeah, probably pimps his ass, too.
592
00:35:22,952 --> 00:35:24,125
Listen, motherfucker.
593
00:35:24,137 --> 00:35:25,732
Yeah, bitch, touch me.
594
00:35:26,436 --> 00:35:28,020
Touch a juvenile, see what happen.
595
00:35:29,791 --> 00:35:30,612
Let's bounce.
596
00:35:31,457 --> 00:35:32,137
Bitch ass.
597
00:35:32,841 --> 00:35:33,475
Faggot.
598
00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:36,173
Chump ass.
599
00:35:45,723 --> 00:35:46,544
Lester.
600
00:35:53,052 --> 00:35:54,495
First time I seen him smoking.
601
00:35:55,398 --> 00:35:56,196
Tough habit.
602
00:35:57,252 --> 00:35:59,210
And pacing like a motherfuck, too.
603
00:36:00,508 --> 00:36:02,561
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.
604
00:36:52,735 --> 00:36:55,454
Bay Wireless Connect 411.
What city and state ?
605
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,498
Baltimore, Maryland.
606
00:36:59,255 --> 00:37:00,651
How may I help you ?
607
00:37:00,674 --> 00:37:01,718
Baltimore police.
608
00:37:03,539 --> 00:37:04,747
Any particular department ?
609
00:37:05,322 --> 00:37:06,729
Western District police.
610
00:37:08,583 --> 00:37:09,791
Is this mergency ?
611
00:37:11,468 --> 00:37:12,430
Non-emergency.
612
00:37:13,627 --> 00:37:16,149
Man, they just did you
with the bum rush.
613
00:37:16,770 --> 00:37:17,885
That's what they do.
614
00:37:18,741 --> 00:37:21,216
They past expert at pluckin' nerves.
615
00:37:22,729 --> 00:37:24,946
You just gotta remember,
they barely house broke.
616
00:37:25,005 --> 00:37:27,017
I'm tellin' you, man,
you wouldn't believe it.
617
00:37:27,111 --> 00:37:29,621
They was all wild and shit.
Wouldn't listen.
618
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:32,237
Andre, I want you to crowd him.
619
00:37:32,401 --> 00:37:33,445
Yes, sir, crowd him.
620
00:37:33,527 --> 00:37:34,161
Alright.
621
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:43,518
Time !
622
00:37:46,171 --> 00:37:48,599
You gotta set your
mind to stick with it.
623
00:37:50,910 --> 00:37:54,300
When those two stumbled in here,
they was wilder than wild.
624
00:37:54,382 --> 00:37:55,673
Now they comin' everyday.
625
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,957
Yes, sir, no, sir.
626
00:37:59,283 --> 00:38:00,163
Still pretty rough
627
00:38:00,174 --> 00:38:02,567
but you know with the right
breaks, they gonna make it.
628
00:38:02,650 --> 00:38:03,248
How ?
629
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,825
Try as they might,
I don't let 'em fail.
630
00:38:08,378 --> 00:38:10,713
You do that, it messes
with their mind.
631
00:38:11,545 --> 00:38:14,337
Pretty soon, they run out
of their little bag of tricks.
632
00:38:18,197 --> 00:38:19,253
What you think of that ?
633
00:38:23,171 --> 00:38:23,898
Pretty weak.
634
00:38:24,379 --> 00:38:25,025
Ain't weak.
635
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,523
That's the startin' point...
636
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:36,936
Naw, naw, I can't
put a name on him
637
00:38:37,582 --> 00:38:38,520
but I seen him 'round.
638
00:38:38,669 --> 00:38:40,018
He's off a west side.
639
00:38:40,476 --> 00:38:43,256
He ain't no drug dealer,
less he doin' it on the Q.T.
640
00:38:44,335 --> 00:38:45,766
You can't go at him, game him ?
641
00:38:46,341 --> 00:38:48,675
I don't know, Kima,
I mean, it be pressin'.
642
00:38:49,543 --> 00:38:50,511
What about her ?
643
00:38:50,851 --> 00:38:51,402
Squeak.
644
00:38:52,364 --> 00:38:53,220
Offa Lanvale.
645
00:38:54,874 --> 00:38:57,396
Yeah, she used to boost
for Turtle Wells', old mob.
646
00:38:57,912 --> 00:38:59,402
She lost a little bit of weight too.
647
00:38:59,414 --> 00:39:01,373
I mean, lookin' a lot
better than I remember
648
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,238
and I remember a lot
about that girl.
649
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,015
Damn, Bubs, is there anybody
westside you don't know ?
650
00:39:07,813 --> 00:39:09,220
Jus' citizens an' shit.
651
00:39:12,411 --> 00:39:13,839
My C.I. knows the girl.
652
00:39:14,155 --> 00:39:14,977
He can work her ?
653
00:39:15,164 --> 00:39:16,138
If it's smooth, yeah.
654
00:39:16,936 --> 00:39:17,475
Check this.
655
00:39:23,057 --> 00:39:24,179
That's Western District ?
656
00:39:24,817 --> 00:39:26,225
Stringer's calling the Western ?
657
00:39:26,436 --> 00:39:27,832
Maybe he's surrendering.
658
00:39:28,618 --> 00:39:31,435
After all the work we've done,
I'd never forgive the sonofabitch.
659
00:39:35,924 --> 00:39:37,495
Go down. Go down and out.
660
00:39:42,833 --> 00:39:43,478
Sweet !
661
00:39:43,748 --> 00:39:44,639
I got hands.
662
00:39:51,513 --> 00:39:53,355
What's up ?
My knuckleheads didn't post ?
663
00:39:53,636 --> 00:39:55,619
They did, but they left.
664
00:39:58,352 --> 00:39:59,044
Over here.
665
00:40:04,287 --> 00:40:05,953
You lookin' for
a discount, old man ?
666
00:40:06,628 --> 00:40:08,094
Naw, but I'm lookin' for you.
667
00:40:08,704 --> 00:40:10,077
Why somethin' come up missin' ?
668
00:40:10,581 --> 00:40:12,329
Came past to apologize.
669
00:40:12,798 --> 00:40:14,476
I'm new at this coachin' thin'.
670
00:40:14,487 --> 00:40:16,587
An' I got us off on the wrong foot.
671
00:40:17,174 --> 00:40:20,890
I ain't gonna leave it between us,
you thinkin' I gave up on y'all.
672
00:40:21,489 --> 00:40:24,703
Motherfucker's memory weak as shit.
We the ones bailed out on him.
673
00:40:27,495 --> 00:40:29,404
Anyway, I'm here now.
674
00:40:35,163 --> 00:40:36,086
Let me understand:
675
00:40:36,121 --> 00:40:38,748
You want to sell drug traffickers
a series of cell phones
676
00:40:38,749 --> 00:40:41,060
that are pre-approved
for telephonic intercepts.
677
00:40:41,811 --> 00:40:42,995
And you want me
678
00:40:43,535 --> 00:40:46,550
to sign off on court-ordered taps
on a bunch of phones that
679
00:40:46,570 --> 00:40:48,095
at the time I am signing the order
680
00:40:48,153 --> 00:40:51,449
have not been used for any
illegal activity whatsoever.
681
00:40:51,989 --> 00:40:53,921
If you're looking for
precedents, your honor ?
682
00:40:53,944 --> 00:40:54,707
There aren't any.
683
00:40:54,730 --> 00:40:57,487
It's circumstantial P.C. at best.
684
00:41:02,813 --> 00:41:04,033
What the hell, let's do it.
685
00:41:04,866 --> 00:41:08,455
Let the court of appeals sort it
out, if it even gets that far.
686
00:41:18,493 --> 00:41:19,490
Quite the legal mind.
687
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,101
Buy you a drink ?
688
00:41:47,875 --> 00:41:49,517
Why the fuck
you comin' up behind me ?
689
00:41:50,069 --> 00:41:50,725
Sorry.
690
00:42:10,252 --> 00:42:10,932
Bushy Top.
691
00:42:11,425 --> 00:42:13,771
You called, I didn't know if
I'd find you here so late.
692
00:42:13,783 --> 00:42:15,601
Just getting ready
for COMSTAT tomorrow.
693
00:42:15,824 --> 00:42:16,844
So what's up, Major ?
694
00:42:21,390 --> 00:42:22,939
Your unit is still working...
695
00:42:23,795 --> 00:42:25,003
a drug war, right ?
696
00:42:25,038 --> 00:42:26,082
Working it hard.
697
00:42:27,138 --> 00:42:30,427
Does the name Avon Barksdale
do anythin' for you ?
698
00:42:31,393 --> 00:42:32,237
He's a player ?
699
00:42:32,354 --> 00:42:33,281
He's the main guy.
700
00:42:33,692 --> 00:42:36,061
We thought he was down,
but he popped up in september.
701
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:38,556
You add him to the equation,
it goes a long way
702
00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:39,811
to explaining the violence.
703
00:42:41,278 --> 00:42:43,202
So it wouldn't be
a stretch if he got shot ?
704
00:42:43,389 --> 00:42:44,386
You heard he got shot ?
705
00:42:45,641 --> 00:42:47,749
You know when or where ?
I could run it out quick.
706
00:42:47,784 --> 00:42:49,227
Naw, ain't gonna make no difference
707
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,726
he didn't post up at an
emergency room from what I hear.
708
00:42:54,752 --> 00:42:57,974
Major, I'm gonna be straight with you.
We're runnin' wires into his people
709
00:42:58,854 --> 00:43:00,379
but we're barely
above the street.
710
00:43:00,402 --> 00:43:02,397
So far, we haven't even
put an eyeball on him.
711
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Suppose to be layin' his head there.
712
00:43:10,808 --> 00:43:13,518
I need you to check that out,
get back to me as soon as you can.
713
00:43:13,542 --> 00:43:14,597
You got a C.I., huh ?
714
00:43:14,797 --> 00:43:16,918
You wanna see if your
man's creds are bonafide.
715
00:43:18,138 --> 00:43:19,605
Don't try to play me, Bushy Top.
716
00:43:20,273 --> 00:43:22,103
I didn't say male,
I didn't say female.
717
00:43:23,229 --> 00:43:23,687
Alright.
718
00:43:24,367 --> 00:43:26,162
I'll get a surveillance
goin' right away.
719
00:43:26,232 --> 00:43:28,925
According to my source,
Barksdale's name is on the paperwork.
720
00:43:29,030 --> 00:43:29,734
No shit.
721
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:34,520
You get the confirmation on
that, call me back on my cell.
722
00:43:37,711 --> 00:43:39,318
Good luck tomorrow.
723
00:43:39,494 --> 00:43:40,128
Yeah, right.
724
00:44:10,384 --> 00:44:11,064
Sham.
725
00:44:13,833 --> 00:44:14,619
Shamrock.
726
00:44:16,671 --> 00:44:18,337
Run these over to Levy for me.
727
00:44:18,619 --> 00:44:19,944
Tell him I want a read on it.
728
00:44:20,542 --> 00:44:21,352
A read ?
729
00:44:22,162 --> 00:44:22,959
Fresh eyes.
730
00:44:24,050 --> 00:44:25,481
Tell him I'll call him tomorrow.
731
00:44:25,986 --> 00:44:26,478
A-ight.
732
00:44:33,722 --> 00:44:35,071
Come on, Mr. Bodyguard.
733
00:45:05,403 --> 00:45:07,268
And so, we're gonna
come at her like that.
734
00:45:07,726 --> 00:45:09,732
So you gonna give me
these phones to sell ?
735
00:45:10,330 --> 00:45:11,890
The money comes back, Bubs.
736
00:45:12,183 --> 00:45:12,758
All of it ?
737
00:45:18,030 --> 00:45:19,919
- Is that Beadie Russell ?
- Looks like.
738
00:45:22,887 --> 00:45:24,881
Whoa, yo, you can't
turn from this lane.
739
00:45:30,757 --> 00:45:32,106
Sweet Beatrice Russ...
740
00:45:36,498 --> 00:45:37,695
I was just gonna say, "hey."
741
00:45:43,853 --> 00:45:44,838
North and Pulaski.
742
00:45:45,742 --> 00:45:48,935
The photo was taken at four P.M.,
prime time for street-level dealing.
743
00:45:51,246 --> 00:45:52,923
That is Riggs and Calhoun.
744
00:45:54,319 --> 00:45:55,422
Mount and Fayette.
745
00:45:56,290 --> 00:45:57,263
Edmondson and Brice.
746
00:45:57,885 --> 00:45:59,247
It's your old foot post, Deputy.
747
00:46:00,232 --> 00:46:01,593
I know where it is, Major...
748
00:46:02,695 --> 00:46:05,616
what I don't know and
very much want to know is
749
00:46:06,027 --> 00:46:07,915
where is the west
Baltimore drug trade ?
750
00:46:08,596 --> 00:46:12,498
I hope, major, these are not staged
photographs you're showing us.
751
00:46:12,521 --> 00:46:13,976
No, sir, they are not.
752
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,283
No, Deputy, I found another approach.
753
00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:18,879
I'm all ears, Bunny.
754
00:46:19,841 --> 00:46:21,039
I moved them off the corners.
755
00:46:21,098 --> 00:46:24,394
Goddamnit, don't be coy
with me, Major. I can see that.
756
00:46:25,121 --> 00:46:27,784
What I want to know is how the
fuck you managed to move them
757
00:46:28,019 --> 00:46:29,450
and where the fuck they are now.
758
00:46:31,303 --> 00:46:31,937
Deputy
759
00:46:34,247 --> 00:46:36,359
I don't know quite
how to put this, but we...
760
00:46:37,896 --> 00:46:38,740
I mean, I...
761
00:46:40,558 --> 00:46:43,017
I began by identifying those
areas of my district where
762
00:46:43,018 --> 00:46:44,997
drug trafficking was least harmful
763
00:46:45,247 --> 00:46:48,672
I proceeded to push all street-level
dealing towards those areas.
764
00:46:49,235 --> 00:46:50,267
Now at first
765
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:54,323
dealing with the juveniles
on them corners, had little success.
766
00:46:55,226 --> 00:46:57,045
But ultimately
767
00:46:57,842 --> 00:47:01,256
by rounding up all the mid-level
dealers in my district
768
00:47:02,029 --> 00:47:03,952
and making an offer
they couldn't refuse
769
00:47:04,035 --> 00:47:05,970
- I was able to...
- You made them an offer ?
770
00:47:06,838 --> 00:47:07,436
Yes, sir.
771
00:47:10,850 --> 00:47:15,606
Either they move their people
to one of three designated areas
772
00:47:16,486 --> 00:47:19,125
where drug enforcement was
not a district priority...
773
00:47:20,228 --> 00:47:23,184
or they face the wrath of every
able-bodied soul in my district.
774
00:47:27,375 --> 00:47:28,606
Major, I don't understand.
775
00:47:29,146 --> 00:47:30,846
The only time we can
hold a drug corner
776
00:47:30,847 --> 00:47:32,735
is when we assign
officers to stand there.
777
00:47:33,474 --> 00:47:36,649
Your slides don't suggest any
concerted deployment on any corners.
778
00:47:37,423 --> 00:47:38,678
How were you able to...
779
00:47:38,701 --> 00:47:41,470
Jesus christ, you nit,
don't you see what he's done.
780
00:47:42,537 --> 00:47:43,828
He's legalized drugs !
781
00:47:45,068 --> 00:47:47,332
Actually, I elected to ignore them.
782
00:47:47,977 --> 00:47:50,617
You lost your fucking mind.
He's lost his fucking mind.
783
00:47:51,848 --> 00:47:55,215
You. In my office. Now !
784
00:47:58,165 --> 00:47:59,326
That's it, gentleman.
785
00:48:26,108 --> 00:48:26,812
She's a go.
786
00:48:27,457 --> 00:48:28,407
Showtime, Bubs.
787
00:48:41,763 --> 00:48:42,936
Oh, shit.
788
00:48:44,086 --> 00:48:45,153
Sister Squeak.
789
00:48:45,458 --> 00:48:46,350
Bottom-end Bubbles.
790
00:48:47,030 --> 00:48:47,992
How you stand, girl ?
791
00:48:48,191 --> 00:48:49,083
Been a long time.
792
00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:50,606
T-shirts ?
793
00:48:50,782 --> 00:48:52,705
What the hell kinda
money is in t-shirts ?
794
00:48:53,022 --> 00:48:54,277
Girl, you just don't know.
795
00:48:54,453 --> 00:48:55,420
But how's your game ?
796
00:48:55,456 --> 00:48:56,605
I heard you was locked up.
797
00:48:56,617 --> 00:48:58,385
Shit, I been on paper for a year.
798
00:48:58,619 --> 00:49:00,637
- I got some things going.
- I can see that.
799
00:49:01,012 --> 00:49:01,880
You look good.
800
00:49:01,904 --> 00:49:02,655
How's he doing ?
801
00:49:03,065 --> 00:49:04,520
He'd talk a cat off a fish cart.
802
00:49:04,836 --> 00:49:06,221
A-ight, Bubs, I gotta get.
803
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,018
Alright, I see you later on.
804
00:49:11,501 --> 00:49:12,393
Yo, Squeak, Squeak.
805
00:49:13,073 --> 00:49:13,953
I 'bout forgot.
806
00:49:14,692 --> 00:49:16,534
I can sell you one
of these, real cheap.
807
00:49:16,545 --> 00:49:17,890
If you got use for the shits...
808
00:49:21,597 --> 00:49:23,204
I'm fuckin' dead.
809
00:49:23,861 --> 00:49:25,386
You mean, we're fuckin' dead.
810
00:49:25,539 --> 00:49:26,981
We're all dead behind this shit.
811
00:49:27,932 --> 00:49:29,187
Jesus christ.
812
00:49:30,125 --> 00:49:32,213
What I did, I did knowingly
and on my own.
813
00:49:33,445 --> 00:49:35,275
My men had nothin' to do with this.
814
00:49:35,638 --> 00:49:37,785
They thought it was part
of some elaborate trap.
815
00:49:38,955 --> 00:49:41,852
So if you need me to fall on
that sword, I'm good with that.
816
00:49:42,767 --> 00:49:43,823
You're good with it ?
817
00:49:44,222 --> 00:49:48,163
Hey, you know I got my vacation time,
my last 30 in a couple months.
818
00:49:49,008 --> 00:49:50,709
So, if you need me
to fall, I'm ready.
819
00:49:52,281 --> 00:49:54,110
But don't let me hear
that you're taking
820
00:49:54,111 --> 00:49:55,847
any punitive action
against my people.
821
00:49:56,586 --> 00:49:57,981
Because I can get on the soapbox
822
00:49:57,982 --> 00:50:00,679
and I can lie as good as
the next man, if I have to.
823
00:50:01,992 --> 00:50:03,646
Are you threatening me ?
824
00:50:06,145 --> 00:50:07,306
I believe I am, sir.
825
00:50:08,948 --> 00:50:09,803
My apologies.
826
00:50:11,586 --> 00:50:14,683
Bunny, you cocksucker, I got
give it to you, a brilliant idea.
827
00:50:15,023 --> 00:50:18,718
Insane and illegal, but stone
fuckin' brilliant nonetheless.
828
00:50:20,605 --> 00:50:21,906
After all my puttin' my foot up
829
00:50:21,907 --> 00:50:24,194
people's asses to decrease
the numbers, he comes in
830
00:50:24,652 --> 00:50:28,793
and in one stroke, gets
a fuckin' 14% decrease.
831
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,864
Fuckin' shame it's gonna
end our careers, but still.
832
00:50:34,999 --> 00:50:37,345
You're all probably tired
of hearin' from me, but...
833
00:50:42,471 --> 00:50:43,409
I brought these.
834
00:50:44,535 --> 00:50:45,356
Letters...
835
00:50:46,142 --> 00:50:49,779
from community associations,
ministers, business people, citizens.
836
00:50:51,573 --> 00:50:52,695
And they're all positive.
837
00:50:54,149 --> 00:50:56,601
They're all happy that the
dealers are off the corners.
838
00:50:57,668 --> 00:51:00,308
You think that's
gonna save our asses ?
839
00:51:01,715 --> 00:51:02,290
Do you ?
840
00:51:03,541 --> 00:51:05,066
No, I guess not, but...
841
00:51:06,673 --> 00:51:08,233
that and my badge is all I got.
842
00:51:08,479 --> 00:51:12,538
I might have your badge,
Major, but not today.
843
00:51:13,230 --> 00:51:16,889
I don't want to draw any attention
to this shit before we're...
844
00:51:17,358 --> 00:51:18,672
ready to speak to it.
845
00:51:19,927 --> 00:51:23,868
So if you have any vacation
time, you're taking it now.
846
00:51:24,688 --> 00:51:29,204
Do not report for
a shift until notified.
847
00:51:40,454 --> 00:51:41,193
Oh...
848
00:51:43,210 --> 00:51:44,372
one more thing, sir.
849
00:51:45,556 --> 00:51:48,014
A "Sun" reporter is
aware of my deployment.
850
00:51:49,327 --> 00:51:51,122
I told him an investigation
was pending
851
00:51:52,107 --> 00:51:53,527
he promised to delay the article.
852
00:51:54,582 --> 00:51:55,087
How long ?
853
00:51:56,084 --> 00:51:58,489
About a week, tops.
854
00:52:04,608 --> 00:52:07,450
I was with Superstroke on the
pool circuit in the early days.
855
00:52:07,649 --> 00:52:09,808
But mostly pickpocketin'
and short cons.
856
00:52:10,547 --> 00:52:14,054
I did the long distance access card
heist before cell phones got popular.
857
00:52:14,582 --> 00:52:15,450
You crept numbers ?
858
00:52:16,541 --> 00:52:18,621
Yeah, I favored the airports, yeah.
859
00:52:18,973 --> 00:52:20,187
Can you still read numbers ?
860
00:52:20,603 --> 00:52:21,495
What's up with this ?
861
00:52:21,518 --> 00:52:23,594
Your man thinkin' I brought
him bad merchandise ?
862
00:52:23,606 --> 00:52:26,022
'Cause if that what he think,
we can beat feet right now.
863
00:52:26,031 --> 00:52:28,577
Damn, Bernard, why you
actin' all C.I.A. and shit ?
864
00:52:28,623 --> 00:52:30,066
We tryin' to make money here.
865
00:52:30,137 --> 00:52:31,826
If you had to answer
to the people I do
866
00:52:31,849 --> 00:52:33,853
your ass would be damn
more sight cautious, too.
867
00:52:33,867 --> 00:52:34,770
That's all I'm sayin'.
868
00:52:34,794 --> 00:52:35,685
I appreciate caution.
869
00:52:36,313 --> 00:52:37,826
'Cause I'm hangin' out here too.
870
00:52:39,222 --> 00:52:39,937
Give it a go.
871
00:52:40,665 --> 00:52:41,439
Use a cell phone.
872
00:52:52,428 --> 00:52:54,562
Marlene, you send
that copy off to Paris ?
873
00:52:55,689 --> 00:52:56,580
Thank you, darling.
874
00:52:57,706 --> 00:52:59,224
That will work, I'm at the airport.
875
00:52:59,716 --> 00:53:00,690
The shuttle, yes...
876
00:53:19,671 --> 00:53:28,269
three, one, oh, double four, eight,
sixteen, ninety-one, double seven
877
00:53:28,633 --> 00:53:33,662
eight, three, one, two.
Now that last number might be a seven.
878
00:53:33,697 --> 00:53:36,278
I'm not too sure with
these small keypads and all.
879
00:53:36,876 --> 00:53:37,920
We can do business.
880
00:53:41,937 --> 00:53:42,500
That's it.
881
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,573
One two, one two, one two.
882
00:53:46,734 --> 00:53:47,743
One two, that's it.
883
00:53:48,482 --> 00:53:49,726
One two, there you go.
884
00:53:50,777 --> 00:53:53,065
Alright, there it is.
Now you gettin' it.
885
00:53:53,663 --> 00:53:54,789
Keep that left hand up.
886
00:53:58,437 --> 00:53:59,024
Hey.
887
00:53:59,716 --> 00:54:00,162
Hey.
888
00:54:01,871 --> 00:54:02,517
Alright.
889
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:03,983
Watch your balance now.
890
00:54:04,147 --> 00:54:05,014
Don't lean forward.
891
00:54:05,015 --> 00:54:07,236
Don't lean too much, don't
lean too forward, alright ?
892
00:54:07,256 --> 00:54:09,649
Alright, let's go. Don't lean
too forward, that's right.
893
00:54:09,930 --> 00:54:11,045
One two, pivot...
894
00:54:11,314 --> 00:54:12,120
You're kidding.
895
00:54:13,141 --> 00:54:14,959
Tell me he's kidding.
896
00:54:16,706 --> 00:54:17,786
You're kidding, right ?
897
00:54:18,959 --> 00:54:21,680
He did it without our knowledge.
898
00:54:21,821 --> 00:54:23,044
Without your knowledge.
899
00:54:23,701 --> 00:54:25,871
Well, that's worse.
You're the Commissioner...
900
00:54:26,387 --> 00:54:27,713
Was the Commissioner.
901
00:54:28,780 --> 00:54:31,725
You think the buck's gonna stop
in this office, you're wrong.
902
00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:37,105
If I might, these are letters
from people in his district.
903
00:54:37,950 --> 00:54:40,648
Ministers, business
people, voters...
904
00:54:41,457 --> 00:54:42,677
all glowing reports.
905
00:54:43,428 --> 00:54:47,627
And there's the 14% reduction
in crime, in the Western.
906
00:54:48,589 --> 00:54:50,407
That's not an anomaly.
907
00:54:51,217 --> 00:54:52,448
It's hard data.
908
00:54:53,692 --> 00:54:56,113
Now, we can clean it up,
make it go away.
909
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,776
The press might already
have wind of it
910
00:54:58,787 --> 00:55:02,682
but we can explain that as
some sort of a new initiative.
911
00:55:03,538 --> 00:55:05,298
Trap high-end drug dealers...
912
00:55:06,839 --> 00:55:07,648
14% ?
913
00:55:08,856 --> 00:55:12,997
If we handle this right, we
might all get out from underneath.
914
00:55:13,607 --> 00:55:14,850
No mud on anybody.
915
00:55:17,832 --> 00:55:19,322
No, no.
916
00:55:21,070 --> 00:55:23,451
I trusted you, Erv, I really did.
917
00:55:23,944 --> 00:55:25,070
You let me down.
918
00:55:25,903 --> 00:55:28,028
Now, this thing goes wrong,
no tellin' the damage.
919
00:55:28,052 --> 00:55:29,541
On this, you walk point.
920
00:55:29,741 --> 00:55:32,345
That's the way things work, Erv.
You know it as well as I do.
921
00:55:39,451 --> 00:55:40,225
Thank you, Ervin.
922
00:55:41,996 --> 00:55:44,037
I'll be over shortly
to see the detailed plan
923
00:55:44,060 --> 00:55:46,207
on how this shit gets
cleaned up immediately.
924
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,768
If you could call this shit
something other than what it is...
925
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,105
Don't even think it.
926
00:56:14,433 --> 00:56:15,653
Way it works is this:
927
00:56:15,970 --> 00:56:19,313
If you don't re-up the minutes
on your cell phone before 60 days
928
00:56:19,501 --> 00:56:21,550
the wireless company
recycles the phone number.
929
00:56:21,597 --> 00:56:22,923
And that's where I get them.
930
00:56:23,404 --> 00:56:26,242
I put the word out on the street
that I'm buying tossed-off burners.
931
00:56:26,254 --> 00:56:27,497
Payin' two dollars a pop.
932
00:56:27,756 --> 00:56:29,480
Street people bring me hundreds.
933
00:56:29,855 --> 00:56:32,339
I bring 'em in here to my niece
she jiggles the computer
934
00:56:32,351 --> 00:56:35,354
juices them up another 200
minutes on a bogus account.
935
00:56:35,929 --> 00:56:40,198
And that automatically extends the
life of the phone for another 60 days.
936
00:56:40,761 --> 00:56:43,146
She charges me 20
on each phone on her end.
937
00:56:43,487 --> 00:56:45,797
I double it or more
on the street to make mine.
938
00:56:46,525 --> 00:56:47,592
So what you sayin' ?
939
00:56:48,671 --> 00:56:50,744
Baby, a standard
Trac phone, with two
940
00:56:50,755 --> 00:56:53,594
maybe 400 minutes on it
gonna run you 150, 200, easy.
941
00:56:54,450 --> 00:56:58,321
I charge you an even 100,
you clear 50 on each phone.
942
00:56:58,427 --> 00:57:00,505
That's if'in you can back
them up with receipts.
943
00:57:00,611 --> 00:57:03,145
I gotta show receipts lookin'
like they from different places
944
00:57:03,168 --> 00:57:03,895
or I can't play.
945
00:57:05,784 --> 00:57:07,309
Can we accommodate the good man ?
946
00:57:07,895 --> 00:57:09,960
Damn, Calvin, you know
I got the bingo tonight.
947
00:57:22,822 --> 00:57:25,168
Look, friend, I ain't sure
you want to be around here.
948
00:57:25,344 --> 00:57:27,573
And I'm damn sure we're
gettin' tired of havin' you.
949
00:57:27,596 --> 00:57:28,488
That plain enough ?
950
00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:29,496
You should know by now
951
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,901
I don't wanna be 'round no
bunch of cocksucking faggots.
952
00:57:32,218 --> 00:57:34,646
But I ain't gonna stop coming
round till I run up on Omar.
953
00:57:34,752 --> 00:57:36,312
You might want to get the word out.
954
00:57:36,382 --> 00:57:38,529
For the last time,
I don't know him.
955
00:57:38,763 --> 00:57:40,230
Then I'm back tomorrow.
956
00:58:05,188 --> 00:58:06,185
Maybe I can help you ?
957
00:58:11,792 --> 00:58:13,141
I don't doubt it for a minute.
