1
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:08,540
Namond:
See, to cap a motherfucker,
2
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:10,075
you put a pistol
to his head,
3
00:00:10,077 --> 00:00:11,410
and say, "Pow,"
and he tagged.
4
00:00:11,412 --> 00:00:12,711
But when Chris
and them do it--
5
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:14,013
Dukie:
Yo, it ain't working, Nay.
6
00:00:14,015 --> 00:00:15,214
I know you making this up.
7
00:00:15,216 --> 00:00:17,249
Namond:
Word to my mother, yo.
Lex ain't dead.
8
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:20,452
I seen him creeping
in an alley last night
near the playground.
9
00:00:20,454 --> 00:00:21,653
Everybody know
Lex is dead.
10
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:24,323
Nah, there's dead,
and there's special dead.
11
00:00:24,325 --> 00:00:26,425
Yeah, Chris working
that juju shit.
12
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:29,395
Nah, man. What I'm saying
is they zombies.
13
00:00:29,397 --> 00:00:30,763
Why you think he take
them into vacants?
14
00:00:30,765 --> 00:00:32,731
He need time
to change them.
15
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:35,334
You don't believe me,
yo, it's on you.
16
00:00:35,336 --> 00:00:36,735
Yo, they funnin',
ain't they, Michael?
17
00:00:36,737 --> 00:00:39,138
I don't know about
that voodoo shit, man,
18
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:41,407
but Chris is definitely
doing something.
19
00:00:41,409 --> 00:00:42,741
Get a nigger
to walk up in there
20
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:44,410
knowing he about
to get capped, man.
21
00:00:44,412 --> 00:00:46,378
Chris, he different.
You can tell by them
22
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:48,680
coon-ass country clothes
that nigger be wearing.
23
00:00:48,682 --> 00:00:50,082
( gunshots )
24
00:00:50,084 --> 00:00:52,084
( dogs barking )
25
00:00:52,086 --> 00:00:52,418
9?
26
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:56,555
Nah, too much bark.
Probably a 40-cal.
27
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:59,391
Yeah, man, this
is serious business.
28
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:00,559
So you saying Lex
is a zombie?
29
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:04,063
Pookie, Byron,
all them niggers.
30
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:04,596
And Chris?
31
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:07,366
Yeah, Chris,
Zombie master.
32
00:01:08,069 --> 00:01:09,368
I knew this
wasn't going away.
33
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:11,637
That's what we've been
trying to tell you, yo.
34
00:01:11,639 --> 00:01:12,704
Chris got the power.
35
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:14,606
He tell them to come,
and they got to come,
36
00:01:14,608 --> 00:01:16,775
like the devil do
with the damned.
37
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:19,411
What you think
Chris got them doing?
38
00:01:20,114 --> 00:01:21,613
Probably spies,
man.
39
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:24,416
Can't figure any other way
Marlo knows so much.
40
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:25,417
Yeah,
that's what it is.
41
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:27,786
Like in this movie,
"Zombie Killer" or something,
42
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:29,822
they came out
at night, hunting.
43
00:01:29,824 --> 00:01:31,623
- Hunting?
- Yeah, man. They...
44
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:34,126
( sirens )
45
00:01:35,796 --> 00:01:39,331
Yeah, and in that movie,
they was snatching people up,
46
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:41,333
stealing their warmth.
47
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:42,367
( bottle rattling )
48
00:01:42,369 --> 00:01:44,536
( bottle breaks )
49
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:50,542
( footsteps )
50
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:11,897
( theme music playing )
51
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:42,854
( bell rings )
52
00:03:42,856 --> 00:03:44,790
( indistinct chatter )
53
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:52,764
St. Jude,
patron of lost causes.
54
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:54,900
Tell me you ain't
been on bended knee
55
00:03:54,902 --> 00:03:58,237
whispering in his saintly ear
each and every night
56
00:03:58,239 --> 00:03:59,404
before you close
those peepers.
57
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:02,608
I know you have, Tommy,
catch a break like this.
58
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:06,378
- Stan, you're sure about this?
- Valchek: On my mother's
soul, it's a lock.
59
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,747
Assigned a rookie--
a broad, no less--
60
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:10,382
as lead detective.
61
00:04:10,384 --> 00:04:12,751
Pulled a good man off,
too, I heard.
62
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:13,986
Hmm.
63
00:04:13,988 --> 00:04:21,360
Tommy, remember,
anything you need.
64
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:26,265
He's a piece of work.
65
00:04:26,267 --> 00:04:28,734
Valchek? Comes with
the territory.
66
00:04:28,736 --> 00:04:30,002
You want the first
district council seat,
67
00:04:30,004 --> 00:04:32,771
you make nice with whatever
Polish or Greek commander
68
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,439
- they dump in the Southeast.
- Not Italian.
69
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:37,376
- No, there ain't enough
of us left down there.
- You think he has this right?
70
00:04:37,378 --> 00:04:40,812
- What, that Royce
tampered with the case?
- No way the mayor knows.
71
00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:43,915
You're right.
This one has Ervin Burrell
written all over it.
72
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:46,385
Fuck if the mayor knows
or not. If it's true,
73
00:04:46,387 --> 00:04:48,487
we get it out there
quick and bang him hard.
74
00:04:48,489 --> 00:04:48,987
I go public?
75
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:51,390
They can't spin this.
They sabotaged a criminal case.
76
00:04:51,392 --> 00:04:55,961
No spin on a knuckleball,
you still can't tell how
it's gonna break.
77
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:03,835
We feed it to Tony Gray.
78
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:06,772
We keep ourselves
out of the line
of fire, sting Royce,
79
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:09,875
and as an added bonus,
give Gray's campaign a boost
80
00:05:09,877 --> 00:05:13,879
which comes at the expense
of the mayor's base.
81
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:19,951
I'm a devious motherfucker
once I get going.
82
00:05:20,621 --> 00:05:21,586
So, all told,
83
00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:24,890
we're looking at
13 warrants and 6 locations.
84
00:05:24,892 --> 00:05:27,759
And given my staffing
situation...
85
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:28,927
Not a problem.
86
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:31,830
I can give you my DEU,
flex, and ops squads.
87
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,932
- A sector of uniforms
if you need it.
- Great.
88
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:37,769
The problem is,
you're wasting a wiretap
on street-level arrests.
89
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:38,970
Marimow:
We do these raids right,
90
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:41,473
we might catch Marlo
or one of his lieutenants
91
00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:42,607
at one of these locations,
92
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:43,809
Get them with dope
on the table.
93
00:05:43,811 --> 00:05:44,843
Daniels:
Marlo Stanfield.
94
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:47,012
In a room.
With dope on the table.
95
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:48,513
I've kicked down doors
96
00:05:48,515 --> 00:05:50,816
and surprised bigger
players than him.
97
00:05:50,818 --> 00:05:51,850
Well, let me warn you,
Lieutenant,
98
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:57,089
I am not about to litigate
a wiretap for a handful
of street rips.
99
00:05:57,091 --> 00:06:00,659
Well, that's on you,
counselor.
100
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:02,027
No, it's not.
101
00:06:02,463 --> 00:06:05,530
Major, see you tomorrow.
102
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:10,936
( sigh )
103
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,540
Floaters.
You had any more?
104
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:16,908
No more than usual
for the season.
105
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:18,009
Freamon:
What about decomps?
106
00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,578
What do you got
in the decomp room?
107
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:22,414
- Coroner: 2 or 3
unidentifieds.
- Found in Baltimore?
108
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:24,716
No, actually,
two from Prince George's,
one from Dorchester.
109
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:26,418
Nah, he wouldn't
drive that far.
110
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:27,419
Let me get this straight.
111
00:06:27,421 --> 00:06:29,054
You're looking for extra bodies,
no one in particular,
112
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:32,891
other than this one kid
you already put out
on the teletype.
113
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,526
Yeah. You on it.
114
00:06:34,528 --> 00:06:37,396
You fellas don't
have enough work?
115
00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:41,066
If you do your classwork,
homework,
116
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:42,968
you earn stickers.
117
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:45,871
Dag, yo, every day
you be changing it up.
118
00:06:45,873 --> 00:06:47,739
You got us confused,
Mr. P.
119
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:48,807
( overlapping chatter )
120
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:50,976
Behave in class,
that's another sticker.
121
00:06:50,978 --> 00:06:54,146
At the end of the week,
the four with the most stickers
122
00:06:54,148 --> 00:06:55,881
get a prize
123
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:58,116
And are eligible
for a grand drawing
124
00:06:58,118 --> 00:06:59,151
at the end of the month.
125
00:06:59,153 --> 00:07:02,087
Don't do your work,
misbehave in class...
126
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:06,691
( indistinct chatter )
127
00:07:06,693 --> 00:07:08,693
Your name goes here.
128
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:12,063
Detention. A full hour
after school, no exceptions.
129
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:15,100
So it's up to you.
Stickers for prizes
130
00:07:15,736 --> 00:07:18,036
or stay with me
after school.
131
00:07:18,038 --> 00:07:19,604
Yo, Mr. P. Why you
do me detention, huh?
132
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:22,174
You interrupted the class,
Namond.
133
00:07:22,176 --> 00:07:23,575
Yo, when you
first came in here,
134
00:07:23,577 --> 00:07:24,843
you was all treating us
straight up,
135
00:07:24,845 --> 00:07:28,013
and now you just dog me
before I even know the rules.
136
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:30,882
That ain't right, man.
137
00:07:34,855 --> 00:07:38,123
When you're right, Namond,
you're right.
138
00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:40,859
Hey, Mr. P., I want
me some of them stickers.
139
00:07:40,861 --> 00:07:42,894
Zenobia,
you have to do your work.
140
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:47,065
I want to, but I ain't
got no pencils.
141
00:07:52,606 --> 00:07:54,539
I don't want no damn
welfare pencil!
142
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:56,675
( laughter )
143
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:11,122
It seems to me
144
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:14,659
there are two kinds of kids
walking in this building.
145
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,161
Stoop kids, corner kids.
146
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:18,797
- Excuse me?
- You know, stoop kids.
147
00:08:18,799 --> 00:08:20,599
They're the ones who stay
on their front steps
148
00:08:20,601 --> 00:08:21,766
when their parents
tell them.
149
00:08:21,768 --> 00:08:23,268
The others go down
to the corners.
150
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:25,504
They can't sit still
in the class.
151
00:08:25,506 --> 00:08:26,972
The others can and do.
152
00:08:26,974 --> 00:08:28,940
So separate the two.
153
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:29,841
That's tracking.
154
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:30,942
Colvin:
Excuse me?
155
00:08:30,944 --> 00:08:31,843
Tracking students.
156
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,712
It's a nasty phrase
in educational circles.
157
00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:36,047
It refers to
the grouping of children
158
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:37,516
based on
expected performance.
159
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:38,583
Well, what's wrong with it?
160
00:08:38,585 --> 00:08:41,286
It says you have
reduced expectations
for certain students,
161
00:08:41,288 --> 00:08:43,889
that you expect less
from them academically.
162
00:08:43,891 --> 00:08:47,259
So you pretend
to teach all these kids,
163
00:08:47,261 --> 00:08:49,060
and the truth is,
you ain't teaching any of them.
164
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:50,095
But what if the stoop kids
165
00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:53,632
- could be in classrooms where
there was no disruptions?
- And the corner kids?
166
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:56,568
I mean, they're the ones you're
after, right? I mean, that's why
you got the grant money.
167
00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:59,704
Sampson:
As long as this doesn't
involve warehousing children,
168
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:01,973
I'm for anything that
allows me to do my job.
169
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:03,975
Every teacher here
will tell you the same.
170
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:05,944
The trick for you
is to come up with a program
171
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:08,580
that actually addresses itself
to the corner kids.
172
00:09:08,582 --> 00:09:10,682
I don't know,
we start pulling kids
out of regular classes,
173
00:09:10,684 --> 00:09:11,750
won't they be stigmatized?
174
00:09:11,752 --> 00:09:15,854
There's not
a stigma at being booted
out of class every other day?
175
00:09:15,856 --> 00:09:16,955
Question is,
176
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:18,990
how do we identify
the corner kids?
177
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:21,059
That won't be a problem.
178
00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:25,730
Ok. Ok.
179
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:36,074
You understand
the work?
180
00:09:38,612 --> 00:09:43,048
Come on, this is easy.
I know you can do it.
181
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,050
( sigh )
182
00:09:45,719 --> 00:09:48,853
You're not giving me a choice.
You have detention.
183
00:09:48,855 --> 00:09:54,326
- Kareem: Yo, Nay,
Mrs. D. shaking bushes.
- Back to your seats.
184
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:58,630
Michael:
What the fuck?
She got my blade, yo.
185
00:09:58,632 --> 00:10:00,265
I said, back to your seats.
186
00:10:01,068 --> 00:10:02,901
( students talking at once )
187
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,276
Yo, Mrs. D. be stealing shit.
I ain't never gonna
get my blade back.
188
00:10:14,014 --> 00:10:16,815
Yo, you all up on me for?
I do my work.
189
00:10:16,817 --> 00:10:20,719
I'm not your yo.
Show me your work.
190
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:26,691
Yeah, I see.
191
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:27,258
( laughter )
192
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:29,094
Yo, my hand hurting
from all this learning.
193
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:32,163
- You got some Tylenol?
- ( laughter )
194
00:10:32,165 --> 00:10:34,299
What I got for you
is detention.
195
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:35,967
Ohh!
196
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,736
Yo, fuck you, Prezbo.
197
00:10:37,738 --> 00:10:38,169
Ohh!
198
00:10:38,171 --> 00:10:40,805
Fucking gimpy-assed,
big-grill motherfucker.
199
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:43,341
That's it.
You're out of here!
200
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:47,946
Go!
201
00:10:55,756 --> 00:10:57,756
Get your police stick
out your desk and beat me.
202
00:10:57,758 --> 00:11:00,425
You know
you fucking want to.
203
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:02,227
Ooh!
204
00:11:04,331 --> 00:11:05,797
Prez:
Everyone back in your seat.
205
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,667
The fuck you
looking at, bitch?
206
00:11:08,669 --> 00:11:11,336
- Ooh, Ms. Sampson, I--
- Namond Brice,
207
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:14,339
if you weren't headed
to the main office,
208
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:15,674
you are now.
209
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,242
Yeah, I was just...
210
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,280
One of
the corner kids, huh?
211
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:25,016
Yeah, they do step up when
you need them, don't they?
212
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:28,353
Look, what?
You want me to say
you right, you right.
213
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:32,157
Should have had protection
at the card game.
214
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:32,924
Done is done.
215
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:35,427
Now we need to decide
what we're gonna do about Omar.
216
00:11:35,429 --> 00:11:36,361
You make the price right,
217
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:40,865
somebody gonna get a whiff
of that bushwhacker's ass.
218
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:43,134
Now, you take
it from there.
219
00:11:43,136 --> 00:11:44,269
You think so?
220
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:47,038
I ain't saying
Omar can't be got.
221
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,073
Any nigger can be got.
222
00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:49,774
But once we put
word to ear
223
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:51,176
and he learn that
we pricing out his head,
224
00:11:51,178 --> 00:11:54,279
he's gonna be trying
us like we're trying him.
225
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,781
You saying I should
let it slide?
226
00:11:56,783 --> 00:12:00,085
Nah. Nah, we get at him
another way.
227
00:12:00,087 --> 00:12:03,088
Get at him
without no bounties,
no bullshit like that.
228
00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:05,890
I mean, Barksdale turned
this town upside down
hunting him,
229
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:07,992
and all he ended up
looking was weak.
230
00:12:07,994 --> 00:12:09,127
I ain't no Barksdale.
231
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:12,130
I'm just saying
talk is cheap.
232
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:12,897
We sit on it,
233
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:14,199
we gonna figure out
a way to get that faggot.
234
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:19,270
But till then, we don't say
a mumbling word.
235
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:27,045
I got me six now,
and I'll give you
the four later,
236
00:12:27,047 --> 00:12:28,046
all right?
Come on!
237
00:12:28,048 --> 00:12:29,848
Nah. I'm gonna need
the whole 10 now.
238
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:33,752
Sherrod!
You ain't in school?
239
00:12:33,754 --> 00:12:35,153
Um, half a day.
Teachers' meeting.
240
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:37,889
Come on, I told you
about those lame excuses, man.
241
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:39,090
I was talking
to him first.
242
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:40,792
All right, this ain't no--
ain't no need for physical--
243
00:12:40,794 --> 00:12:42,293
you got $4.00 for me?
I'm short $4.00.
244
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:44,929
What the fuck are you
talking--
245
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,765
Got a cart full
of shit, nigga.
246
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:49,434
What you got for me?
I know you holding.
247
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:51,436
Where's it at?
You ain't hear?
248
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:53,805
Unh! Ok.
249
00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:56,775
It's in my shoe. My shoe.
250
00:12:57,177 --> 00:12:58,943
( Bubbles groaning )
251
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:04,983
Don't need
the four now, son.
252
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:08,853
( laughter )
253
00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:19,063
Boy:
Damn, yo,
where the shovel at?
254
00:13:19,065 --> 00:13:21,833
Boy 2:
Bury that nigger, man.
255
00:13:42,823 --> 00:13:44,022
Here you go, sir.
Thank you.
256
00:13:44,024 --> 00:13:46,224
- Tommy Carcetti,
running for mayor.
- Good luck, Tommy.
257
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:47,458
Hey, Mr. Carcetti,
you got my vote.
258
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:48,459
Thanks.
Tommy Carcetti.
259
00:13:48,461 --> 00:13:49,460
Hey.
Thank you very much.
260
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:51,029
- Here you go.
- Good luck, Councilman.
261
00:13:51,031 --> 00:13:52,897
How you doing?
Tommy Carcetti,
running for mayor.
262
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:56,601
Wilson:
Ok, Councilman,
time to hit the west side.
263
00:14:08,915 --> 00:14:10,481
Pretty motherfucker.
264
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:14,185
Gonna make me
go to my game face.
265
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:18,389
Ok. I'll take 25 of
the honeysuckle incense cones.
266
00:14:18,525 --> 00:14:20,525
Keep me healthy
for next week.
267
00:14:21,127 --> 00:14:23,094
Wilson:
Tommy!
268
00:14:23,096 --> 00:14:24,896
Excuse me.
269
00:14:25,298 --> 00:14:29,567
Tony Gray's people
say 20 minutes at their place.
270
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:32,570
Shit, Clarence.
271
00:14:32,572 --> 00:14:36,908
Look like you did
in '98 when you surprised
the hell out of everyone.
272
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:38,409
Bring 'em on.
273
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:39,410
Huh?
274
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:41,613
( laughing )
275
00:14:41,615 --> 00:14:42,513
Why give it to us?
276
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:44,249
Why don't you stick
it to Royce yourself?
277
00:14:44,251 --> 00:14:45,917
Because after what Tommy
did at the debate,
278
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:49,087
it'll seem like
more of the same
if it comes from him.
279
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:54,158
And if we use it to take
four or five points
out of Royce's base,
280
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,560
helps him as much as us.
281
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:57,161
Once bitten, twice shy.
282
00:14:57,163 --> 00:15:00,465
With Tommy Carcetti,
I got to always think
a step ahead.
283
00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:02,967
Look, Tony.
You ain't gonna win.
284
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:05,136
So the only question is
whether you want to lose
285
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:08,239
with 24 percent of the vote
or 28 percent.
286
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:11,109
You bring the numbers up,
287
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:13,177
you look good
for the legislature.
288
00:15:13,179 --> 00:15:16,347
Maybe a congressional run.
289
00:15:16,349 --> 00:15:17,682
Prez:
Albert stokes.
290
00:15:17,684 --> 00:15:18,917
Here.
Mr. P., can I go?
291
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,086
My moms told me to go
straight home after school.
292
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:22,954
Mine, too.
Mine, too.
293
00:15:22,956 --> 00:15:24,022
( students talking at once )
294
00:15:24,024 --> 00:15:25,223
You should have
thought of that
295
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:27,592
before you smeared ink
all over my desk.
296
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:30,094
Weren't my fault,
my pen exploded.
297
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:31,696
( laughter )
298
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:35,199
Michael. Michael Lee?
299
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:36,567
Mr. P.,
please, can I go?
300
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:39,504
I ain't eat no lunch,
and my stomach making
all these noises.
301
00:15:39,506 --> 00:15:44,342
Look. I won't ever disrespect
your pencil again, I promise.
302
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:46,945
Zenobia, it wasn't
about the pencil.
303
00:15:46,947 --> 00:15:48,646
Zebobia:
Please, Mr. P.
304
00:15:48,648 --> 00:15:50,515
( all talking at once )
305
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:01,659
Ok. Ok.
All right.
306
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:06,064
- Boy: All right.
- Just this one time,
I'll make an exception.
307
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:11,202
But next time,
expect to stay the full hour.
308
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:25,416
- Why are you here?
- Came to say sorry.
309
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:28,286
I didn't mean to get all
up in your face like that.
310
00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:31,055
I appreciate that,
Namond.
311
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:32,991
It takes courage
to admit when you're wrong.
312
00:16:32,993 --> 00:16:37,028
What I can't understand,
I've seen you in Ms. Sampson's
class doing your work.
313
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:38,730
Why can't you
do the same in here?
314
00:16:38,732 --> 00:16:40,698
I mean to, I do.
315
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,166
It's just the evil
get in me,
316
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:44,569
and before I know it,
I go off.
317
00:16:46,573 --> 00:16:47,772
Well...
318
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:49,574
tomorrow we'll see
if we can't do better.
319
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:53,111
Can't tomorrow.
Mrs. D. Put me out.
320
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:56,681
I got to bump.
Later, Mr. P.
321
00:16:59,052 --> 00:17:00,685
If you can
wait outside...
322
00:17:01,388 --> 00:17:03,121
It's ok.
He can stay.
323
00:17:07,761 --> 00:17:09,327
Thank you.
324
00:17:10,163 --> 00:17:13,431
Mr. P., you know Michael
can't make it to detention.
325
00:17:13,433 --> 00:17:15,533
I know he didn't.
Now it's double.
326
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,035
He's got two days
to serve.
327
00:17:17,037 --> 00:17:18,069
Nah. I mean he can't.
328
00:17:18,071 --> 00:17:20,104
He got to go pick up
his little brother from school.
329
00:17:20,106 --> 00:17:23,641
Well, he'll just have to
find somebody else to do that.
330
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:26,077
It-- it ain't like that.
331
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,378
I mean, Michael
would come if he could,
332
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:30,548
but wouldn't have
nobody else to pick up
his little brother, Bug.
333
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:34,619
You know, his mother,
she on that stuff.
334
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:42,627
We walking home.
You coming?
335
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:44,629
Oh, no.
I'm waiting on Alpo.
336
00:17:44,631 --> 00:17:46,397
Ms. Sampson got him
doing detention.
337
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:47,732
You gonna be here till,
like, 5:00.
338
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:48,699
Yeah. She a hard lady.
339
00:17:48,701 --> 00:17:50,134
She don't ever give
a brother no play.
340
00:17:50,136 --> 00:17:52,837
Well, all right, man.
I'll holla at you later.
341
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,306
Donut:
All right, yo.
342
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:59,410
So you're not gonna be
in the NBA?
343
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,345
Then it must be the NFL?
344
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:02,313
( chuckles )
345
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:03,581
I thought
all the boys in class
346
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:04,715
were gonna join the pros.
347
00:18:04,717 --> 00:18:07,452
Nah, that's just
something we say.
348
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:09,387
So what about you?
349
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:11,656
What do you want to be
when you grow up?
350
00:18:11,658 --> 00:18:14,559
I'm gonna own
my own store.
351
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:15,426
That's smart.
352
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,162
You're gonna need
to know a lot of math.
353
00:18:21,534 --> 00:18:24,268
You left them
in there.
354
00:18:25,238 --> 00:18:25,803
( groan )
355
00:18:25,805 --> 00:18:28,339
Hey, don't worry, Mr. P.
We got you.
356
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:29,540
Hey, Donut!
357
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:34,145
Yo, Donut's crazy with cars.
He can open anything.
358
00:18:34,147 --> 00:18:35,580
- Donut: Hey.
- Randy: Hey.
359
00:18:35,582 --> 00:18:36,314
What up, man.
360
00:18:36,316 --> 00:18:38,749
Yo, he locked his
keys in there.
361
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:44,355
It's ok.
I can call AAA.
362
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:46,724
Oh, no problem, chief.
363
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,768
Bubbles:
Feel the need
to work them corners, huh?
364
00:19:31,538 --> 00:19:34,672
I'm just asking
because you don't need
to be doing what you're doing.
365
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:37,175
I need to learn some
shit on my own.
366
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:40,278
I'm trying to help you,
Sherrod,
367
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,746
but you making
it so I can't.
368
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:43,814
I didn't even know
the man who beat on you, Bubs.
369
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:45,650
He was short money
on the corner.
370
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:46,951
I swear
he wasn't nothing to me.
371
00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:50,288
Yeah, but when the shit start,
there's nothing to be done,
right?
372
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:53,424
What would I have done
if he started wailing on you?
373
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:58,796
Same kind of nothing, see?
That's how the corners be.
374
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:02,633
They gonna use you up,
Sherrod.
375
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,372
You welcome to stay tonight,
376
00:20:08,374 --> 00:20:11,209
but you ain't in school
tomorrow morning,
377
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:13,644
this partnership
need to be done.
378
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:44,442
These two precincts
are the bellwether
for the fifth.
379
00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:47,812
If you can take even 18 percent
out of Carcetti in these,
380
00:20:47,814 --> 00:20:50,748
it's a good guess he won't
have the numbers citywide.
381
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:53,451
Well, who are we ticketed
with over here?
382
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:56,487
The N.D.O.,
I hope, because--
383
00:20:57,023 --> 00:21:00,625
...this amid allegations
that high-ranking police
officials intervened
384
00:21:00,627 --> 00:21:04,528
to have a veteran
police detective removed
from the controversial case.
385
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:08,532
The Braddock murder
became a focal point
in the mayoral campaign
386
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:10,868
when councilman
Thomas Carcetti alleged
387
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:12,703
the West Baltimore man
was killed
388
00:21:12,705 --> 00:21:14,538
because he was a witness
in the case.
389
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:17,575
...because they were afraid
the police would prove
what they most fear,
390
00:21:17,577 --> 00:21:18,909
that Fredro Braddock
was murdered
391
00:21:18,911 --> 00:21:23,447
because he was a witness
and the city failed
to protect him.
392
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:25,883
It's on all
three channels.
393
00:21:25,885 --> 00:21:29,920
And the "Sun" and the "Post"
are both calling for comment.
394
00:21:31,991 --> 00:21:34,392
...and my sources within
the department say the rank
and file officers
395
00:21:34,394 --> 00:21:38,996
are simply
appalled by this blatant
political manipulation.
396
00:21:38,998 --> 00:21:40,598
Damn. Turn it up.
397
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,667
Hey, Greggs,
you're famous.
398
00:21:42,669 --> 00:21:44,769
Gray:
...is to remove
a highly decorated veteran,
399
00:21:44,771 --> 00:21:46,704
15 years experience
as a murder investigator,
400
00:21:46,706 --> 00:21:47,905
- without reason...
- That'd be me.
401
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:51,942
Then replaced with
a rookie who has yet to handle
a single homicide investigation.
402
00:21:51,944 --> 00:21:53,010
That'd be you.
403
00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:56,881
- Gray: Then we need
to re-think...
- The fuck I ever do to him?
404
00:21:56,883 --> 00:21:58,983
( chuckling )
405
00:22:00,086 --> 00:22:01,886
You gonna make it
too heavy, yo.
406
00:22:01,888 --> 00:22:03,754
It might work
if we make it bigger.
407
00:22:03,756 --> 00:22:05,723
It would work if we
had balsa wood, you know.
408
00:22:05,725 --> 00:22:06,724
It's really light
and strong.
409
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:10,995
Man, you so full of--
oh, shit.
410
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:18,936
Zombie master.
411
00:22:24,344 --> 00:22:26,977
Need to take
us a little walk.
412
00:22:27,613 --> 00:22:29,513
Nah, I'm good here.
413
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:33,818
Yo. Young'uns need
to move along.
414
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:36,654
Sure, Chris, we'll bump.
415
00:22:41,561 --> 00:22:43,127
Yo, Snoop,
your sister in my class.
416
00:22:43,129 --> 00:22:46,030
What the fuck? You high
or something, nigga?
417
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,800
You boys
be smoking that shit?
418
00:22:53,072 --> 00:22:54,905
Hearing good things
about you.
419
00:22:54,907 --> 00:22:57,608
Say you straight up,
take care of your people,
420
00:22:57,610 --> 00:22:59,777
not begging no handouts.
421
00:22:59,779 --> 00:23:02,646
Motherfucker, you hear
the nigger talking to you,
422
00:23:02,648 --> 00:23:03,848
giving you
praises and shit.
423
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:06,584
You standing here
looking fucking stupid.
424
00:23:06,586 --> 00:23:08,119
Yo, chill.
425
00:23:08,121 --> 00:23:09,754
Sometimes,
she get a little hot.
426
00:23:09,756 --> 00:23:12,957
Snoop:
I'm just saying
the boy ain't right!
427
00:23:12,959 --> 00:23:15,826
Yo, we always in the market
for a good solider.
428
00:23:15,828 --> 00:23:19,397
When we see one we like,
we take care of the situation.
429
00:23:19,399 --> 00:23:22,767
Take him in, school him,
make him family.
430
00:23:22,769 --> 00:23:24,502
And if you're with us,
you're with us,
431
00:23:24,504 --> 00:23:27,071
just like we'd be with you
all the way.
432
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:29,673
You have a mind,
you're in.
433
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:32,877
Look, man.
I already got a family.
434
00:23:32,879 --> 00:23:35,713
My moms
and my little brother
435
00:23:35,715 --> 00:23:38,649
Yeah. Heard that.
436
00:23:38,651 --> 00:23:40,518
But think on it.
437
00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:46,690
We'll be around
if you need something.
438
00:24:00,473 --> 00:24:01,839
He saw me, yo.
I knew it.
439
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:04,108
I knew Chris was asking
Michael about me.
440
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:05,976
I knew it, man.
I'm dead.
441
00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:08,512
( exhales )
442
00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:10,047
Yo, man,
good looking out.
443
00:24:10,049 --> 00:24:11,148
Yeah. I thought
they was gonna--
444
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:12,183
Yeah, I know,
I know.
445
00:24:12,185 --> 00:24:14,051
What did he ask about me?
I know he asked about me.
446
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:15,619
What'd you say?
What'd you tell him?
447
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,021
Calm down. It weren't even
about you, man.
448
00:24:17,023 --> 00:24:18,989
Yo, for real, man,
you need to tell me.
449
00:24:18,991 --> 00:24:21,091
What did he ask you?
450
00:24:21,761 --> 00:24:22,760
Yo, you right, man.
451
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:25,196
Chris was all up
in your business.
452
00:24:25,198 --> 00:24:27,832
He down on you
for some deep shit, man.
453
00:24:27,834 --> 00:24:29,934
I don't even know what.
454
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:34,071
Nah, I'm just fucking
with you, man.
455
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:36,774
He didn't even speak
your name.
456
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:45,950
Oh, man.
457
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:49,687
Royce:
So, Erv, what's next?
458
00:24:49,689 --> 00:24:52,056
Your officers gonna shoot
a couple of tourists?
459
00:24:52,058 --> 00:24:54,725
Maybe fly a helicopter
into harbor place?
460
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:59,029
What can we expect
the last week of my
reelection campaign?
461
00:24:59,031 --> 00:25:01,131
Sir, I did what you asked
no more, no less.
462
00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:03,234
Hamsterdam
legalized drug zone?
463
00:25:03,236 --> 00:25:04,969
Oh, he takes
responsibility for that.
464
00:25:04,971 --> 00:25:07,605
- The subpoena's
all over town.
- That, too.
465
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:09,540
Royce:
The leak about
the witness murder.
466
00:25:09,542 --> 00:25:10,908
I mean, that was
his shop, too, right?
467
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:11,742
Hell, yeah.
468
00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:13,043
Royce:
And now, this last thing,
469
00:25:13,045 --> 00:25:16,847
transferring detectives
off the case.
470
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:18,516
What is that?
What is that?
471
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:19,850
Scuttling
the investigation.
472
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:21,986
Yeah, right.
Yeah, that's awful. Jesus.
473
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:25,256
Mr. Mayor, you asked me
to slow that investigation down.
474
00:25:25,258 --> 00:25:26,924
Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
475
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:28,626
Subtle, Ervin. Hmm?
476
00:25:28,628 --> 00:25:30,227
You hold a few facts
for a few weeks.
477
00:25:30,229 --> 00:25:33,797
You put a report or two
in a desk drawer.
478
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:36,233
But the transferring
of people off a case?
479
00:25:36,235 --> 00:25:38,702
Burrell:
Look. You told me
480
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:40,804
you specifically
wanted me to not--
481
00:25:40,806 --> 00:25:43,641
Ervin, you may leave.
482
00:25:43,643 --> 00:25:44,174
Mr. Mayor
483
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:48,712
That will be all,
Commissioner.
484
00:25:58,558 --> 00:26:00,157
Uh...
485
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:04,929
No, I need a word or two
with your deputy, Ervin.
486
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:18,943
Have a seat.
487
00:26:26,152 --> 00:26:27,117
I tried to warn him.
488
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,753
I mean, if it leaked
out of homicide about
the dead witness,
489
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:32,823
why wouldn't it leak
that we bumped a detective?
490
00:26:32,825 --> 00:26:34,925
Why didn't you come to us
beforehand?
491
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:38,095
I'm a loyal subordinate,
Mr. Mayor,
492
00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:41,932
and Ervin
is a good man working
under considerable pressure.
493
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:43,100
Parker:
He's a hack.
494
00:26:43,102 --> 00:26:46,770
You're not bothered
by the pressure, Deputy?
495
00:26:46,772 --> 00:26:48,772
Not in the least.
496
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:55,679
I need you to make
this go away, Bill.
497
00:26:55,681 --> 00:26:59,149
I won't forget,
believe me.
498
00:27:09,895 --> 00:27:12,997
Another thing Slim Charles
got up with me.
499
00:27:12,999 --> 00:27:14,765
Said the fat man
want a sit-down.
500
00:27:14,767 --> 00:27:16,367
- Nah. I did that already.
- ( whistle )
501
00:27:16,369 --> 00:27:20,070
Chris:
Well, Slim say the fat man
knew the card game
502
00:27:20,072 --> 00:27:20,971
was gonna get took.
503
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:24,408
He did, did he?
Set it up.
504
00:27:24,410 --> 00:27:26,777
Old Face Andre:
Yo, why you always
be back here?
505
00:27:26,779 --> 00:27:28,679
Quiet. And I can
see what comes.
506
00:27:28,681 --> 00:27:31,081
But you out in the weather
and shit.
507
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,150
I don't like to speak
in no rooms.
508
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:34,685
Yeah.
509
00:27:34,687 --> 00:27:36,387
Yo. You ain't
staying long.
510
00:27:38,658 --> 00:27:41,425
So you know,
I almost got that for you.
511
00:27:41,427 --> 00:27:43,227
I just need
a couple of days more.
512
00:27:43,229 --> 00:27:44,962
You can keep
my money for now.
513
00:27:44,964 --> 00:27:46,897
But I got something
that needs doing.
514
00:27:46,899 --> 00:27:48,065
Anything, Marlo.
Your call.
515
00:27:48,067 --> 00:27:51,268
Omar gonna come in your store,
stick it up, rob you.
516
00:27:51,737 --> 00:27:56,674
You gonna call the police,
make a report. You feel me?
517
00:27:56,676 --> 00:27:58,375
Yeah, that'll work,
but, uh, you know when he
518
00:27:58,377 --> 00:28:00,010
get out, he's coming
right at me.
519
00:28:00,012 --> 00:28:04,915
- I ain't scared or nothing.
I'm just saying, you know?
- He ain't gonna get out.
520
00:28:11,957 --> 00:28:14,391
A man make bail
on robbery.
521
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:17,428
Make it no bail.
522
00:28:19,965 --> 00:28:21,465
If you have a problem,
523
00:28:21,467 --> 00:28:24,334
like you can't make it
to detention,
524
00:28:24,336 --> 00:28:26,103
you need to tell me.
525
00:28:26,105 --> 00:28:27,237
That's your responsibility.
526
00:28:27,239 --> 00:28:29,473
People will be more
than willing to help you out,
527
00:28:29,475 --> 00:28:33,143
but it's up to you to ask.
528
00:28:34,046 --> 00:28:39,750
You can go back
to the cafeteria,
or hang up here.
529
00:28:49,328 --> 00:28:52,796
Duquan.
Could you come here?
530
00:29:03,042 --> 00:29:07,911
I thought maybe you
could help me out.
I packed too much.
531
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:28,932
Take this down
to the cafeteria
532
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:32,002
and get yourself something
to drink from the machine.
533
00:29:32,805 --> 00:29:34,204
Thank you.
534
00:29:42,782 --> 00:29:45,449
Crystal,
you got a second?
535
00:29:48,487 --> 00:29:49,787
What's up with Duquan?
536
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:52,256
I gave him some
new clothes. I was expecting
537
00:29:52,258 --> 00:29:54,825
He might
have lost them.
538
00:29:54,827 --> 00:29:56,894
That fast?
539
00:29:57,963 --> 00:29:58,796
It weren't that.
540
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:02,800
His people take his clothes,
sell it on the corners.
541
00:30:02,802 --> 00:30:03,567
You're kidding.
542
00:30:03,569 --> 00:30:06,170
No, sir.
Everybody knows.
543
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:11,341
Which brings me to
what we're proposing.
544
00:30:11,343 --> 00:30:12,843
Different kids,
different approaches.
545
00:30:12,845 --> 00:30:16,180
You tell us who we need
to touch at North Avenue
to get the go-ahead.
546
00:30:16,182 --> 00:30:20,250
The puzzle palace?
Look. If y'all still
want to jump in and help,
547
00:30:20,252 --> 00:30:21,218
I'm fine with it.
548
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:23,987
That's about all the ok
you need in my house.
549
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:25,556
( knock on door )
550
00:30:25,558 --> 00:30:29,426
The Stricker Street
situation is waiting
in the office.
551
00:30:29,428 --> 00:30:30,327
( exhales )
552
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:34,364
Neighborhood squabbles,
and my babies bring it in here.
553
00:30:34,366 --> 00:30:35,365
Two fights yesterday,
554
00:30:35,367 --> 00:30:38,168
all because the mothers
can't get along.
555
00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:40,237
I got to go.
556
00:30:40,239 --> 00:30:43,473
Mrs. Donnelly will work out
the nuts and bolts.
557
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:46,009
But, just so you hear it,
thank you.
558
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:51,148
It'll be the only time
anyone in this system
will think to say it.
559
00:30:53,552 --> 00:30:56,086
He's a good man.
You need to protect him.
560
00:30:56,088 --> 00:30:56,587
Protect him?
561
00:30:56,589 --> 00:30:58,522
Principal Withers just
went out on a limb for you,
562
00:30:58,524 --> 00:31:02,125
and in this system,
they know how to handle
a chainsaw.
563
00:31:02,127 --> 00:31:03,260
( chuckle )
564
00:31:03,262 --> 00:31:04,261
Parenti:
Excuse me?
565
00:31:04,263 --> 00:31:07,130
Anyone has a problem
with what we're doing,
566
00:31:07,132 --> 00:31:08,398
it's on him.
567
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,135
So, you specified
eighth graders?
568
00:31:12,137 --> 00:31:16,073
We have 256 on roll.
569
00:31:16,075 --> 00:31:17,608
241 attend
on a regular basis.
570
00:31:17,610 --> 00:31:22,045
Of those, 40 or so would
fit your bill of corner kids.
571
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:24,481
40?
572
00:31:24,483 --> 00:31:27,651
Pretty workable.
573
00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:29,553
Ahem.
574
00:31:29,555 --> 00:31:30,554
What would you suggest?
575
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:33,891
Start with 10 or so.
Ms. Sampson has enough
to get you going.
576
00:31:33,893 --> 00:31:35,559
One of them
named Namond Brice?
577
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:36,660
Pick of the litter.
578
00:31:36,662 --> 00:31:39,997
But you'll have to wait.
He's on a three day suspension.
579
00:31:49,675 --> 00:31:51,174
Remember when
I was cadet,
580
00:31:51,176 --> 00:31:53,143
I was up here
on a cadaver search.
581
00:31:53,145 --> 00:31:55,012
Instructor gets
on the radio to say,
582
00:31:55,014 --> 00:31:57,347
we're looking for
one body in particular.
583
00:31:57,349 --> 00:32:00,984
"If you go grabbing
everyone you see,
584
00:32:00,986 --> 00:32:03,053
we'll be here
all day," he says.
585
00:32:03,055 --> 00:32:05,322
Heh heh heh!
Leakin park,
586
00:32:05,324 --> 00:32:08,125
where West Baltimore
brings out its dead.
587
00:32:08,127 --> 00:32:10,594
Not anymore,
from the look of things.
588
00:32:11,063 --> 00:32:14,031
Not by the roadside,
anyway.
589
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:17,167
If he's dumping
them here,
590
00:32:17,169 --> 00:32:19,970
he's dumping them
deep in the woods.
591
00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:23,941
- ( sigh )
- Come on.
592
00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:25,208
At each raid site,
593
00:32:25,210 --> 00:32:29,613
we're anticipating
dope or cash or guns.
594
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:32,182
All warrants are
for prime locations
595
00:32:32,184 --> 00:32:34,184
linked to high-level
violators.
596
00:32:34,186 --> 00:32:37,321
Weeks old addresses
linked to low-level
corner boys.
597
00:32:37,323 --> 00:32:40,090
We'll also be sweeping
drug corners at these locations.
598
00:32:40,092 --> 00:32:42,626
Wagons will hold
in this location here.
599
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,594
Jump-off time, 1500 hours.
600
00:32:44,596 --> 00:32:49,132
We take our position 10 minutes
before the assault, here.
601
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,601
The go is on my say-so.
602
00:32:52,705 --> 00:32:54,571
Questions?
Excellent.
603
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:58,408
We'll hold the rec room
till it's time to stage.
604
00:33:04,383 --> 00:33:05,315
Warrants are one thing,
605
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:08,018
but street sweeps
on Marlo Stanfield's crews?
606
00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:08,685
Are you guys serious?
607
00:33:08,687 --> 00:33:11,254
Carv, you give these
hoodle-heads too much credit.
608
00:33:11,256 --> 00:33:13,623
Trust me on this,
boy wonder.
609
00:33:13,625 --> 00:33:16,059
Never mind
this horseshit.
610
00:33:16,061 --> 00:33:18,128
So what've they got you
doing for your man?
611
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:20,263
Who, the Lieutenant?
612
00:33:20,265 --> 00:33:21,331
No, Royce.
613
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:22,532
Herc, the Mayor's
your meal ticket.
614
00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:25,035
He gets another four years,
you're liable to wear
the gold braids.
615
00:33:25,037 --> 00:33:29,039
Shouldn't you be out
waving a campaign sign
or some shit?
616
00:33:33,145 --> 00:33:37,381
And so ends the last crusade
of the major crimes unit.
617
00:33:37,383 --> 00:33:38,482
With a whimper.
618
00:33:38,484 --> 00:33:43,453
Lester would cry
to see his wiretap
cannibalized for that crap.
619
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:47,424
I mean, Street sweeps
on Marlo Stanfield?
620
00:33:50,162 --> 00:33:51,395
So what else
you got cooking?
621
00:33:51,397 --> 00:33:52,162
Narcotics cases?
622
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:54,698
C.I.D. Has the Burman
indictment coming in.
623
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:56,266
Nothing past that.
624
00:33:56,268 --> 00:33:59,469
As wars go, this drug thing
seems to rate less and less.
625
00:33:59,638 --> 00:34:04,541
If Demper wins and manages
to forgive my trespasses,
626
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:07,277
maybe I'll go in and beg
for something new.
627
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:08,378
I don't know.
628
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:10,714
Just...feels like
enough's enough.
629
00:34:11,350 --> 00:34:12,616
( telephone ringing )
630
00:34:12,618 --> 00:34:16,386
Officer:
Crutchfield.
Line two. Intake.
631
00:34:19,191 --> 00:34:20,824
Sergeant, you were
looking for me?
632
00:34:20,826 --> 00:34:21,825
I was, yeah.
633
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:26,196
Curly fry?
Chicken doohickey?
634
00:34:26,198 --> 00:34:27,531
Sit down.
635
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:36,173
Norris is back
on the Braddock case.
636
00:34:36,175 --> 00:34:37,507
It's by order
of the Deputy Ops.
637
00:34:37,509 --> 00:34:41,411
In fact, we're gonna go with
a story that says he was
never off the case,
638
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:45,115
that you and he are partnered,
a task force of two,
639
00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:47,350
working it together.
640
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,420
- Fuck you, fat man.
- Heh heh!
641
00:34:50,422 --> 00:34:54,257
Not original, but succinct.
I like your approach.
642
00:34:54,259 --> 00:34:57,594
Y'all humiliate me once
by dropping me into this thing,
643
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,196
and now you're gonna
shame me again
644
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:01,398
by bringing Norris back.
645
00:35:13,812 --> 00:35:15,312
( sigh )
646
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:16,513
This is homicide,
Detective.
647
00:35:16,515 --> 00:35:17,614
This is not some
boiler room unit
648
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:21,418
where no one pays attention
to whatever the fuck it is you
call police work.
649
00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:25,522
The bosses?
They know our names up here.
650
00:35:25,524 --> 00:35:27,824
Now, I didn't like
it when they came to me
651
00:35:27,826 --> 00:35:29,392
and told me
to dump Norris,
652
00:35:29,394 --> 00:35:30,427
but dump him I did.
653
00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:31,795
And it's not like I want
to carry water for them
654
00:35:31,797 --> 00:35:35,565
now that they're pretending
they never told me to do
any such thing,
655
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:37,167
but carry the water
I will.
656
00:35:37,169 --> 00:35:37,801
And in the end,
657
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:40,904
when everyone else in this unit
is buried and beshitted,
658
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:45,375
this Detective Sergeant
will still be standing.
659
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:49,779
So...get
the story straight.
660
00:35:49,781 --> 00:35:51,281
Norris was
always the primary,
661
00:35:51,283 --> 00:35:53,517
and you are now assisting
on an investigation
662
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:56,453
which is progressing
even as we speak.
663
00:35:56,455 --> 00:35:59,222
Does the Colonel
know about this?
664
00:36:00,292 --> 00:36:04,594
He's in the hospital.
Chemo didn't work.
665
00:36:07,733 --> 00:36:10,433
Press conference
is upstairs in half an hour.
666
00:36:10,435 --> 00:36:13,336
- So don't be late.
- Press conference?
667
00:36:13,338 --> 00:36:15,338
Mm-hmm.
668
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:23,580
I ain't mean
to laugh at you none.
669
00:36:23,582 --> 00:36:26,750
I know it sound crazy,
but I ain't joking.
670
00:36:26,752 --> 00:36:28,318
For real,
Lex a zombie.
671
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,921
I knew it way before what
Nay and them was saying.
672
00:36:30,923 --> 00:36:33,256
Listen.
673
00:36:33,258 --> 00:36:35,959
They had me tell Lex
to go up to the playground.
674
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:38,595
I told him to go up there
and see some girl.
675
00:36:38,597 --> 00:36:40,497
He ain't never
come back down.
676
00:36:40,499 --> 00:36:43,633
So what they gonna do to me
when they get mad at me?
677
00:36:43,635 --> 00:36:46,203
It makes sense Chris taking
them into the vacants
678
00:36:46,205 --> 00:36:48,638
to change them...
and you know what else.
679
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,273
Dukie:
That ain't what he's doing.
680
00:36:50,275 --> 00:36:52,876
Chris and the vacants...
changing them?
681
00:36:55,247 --> 00:36:56,746
He ain't changing them,
he killing them.
682
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:59,416
That's all.
They're getting killed.
683
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:00,817
How you know?
684
00:37:04,256 --> 00:37:06,323
Can't tell nobody.
685
00:37:07,926 --> 00:37:09,593
I seen it.
686
00:37:09,595 --> 00:37:14,831
I seen them walk
a boy up into one house
over there on Calhoun.
687
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:17,367
You seen that?
688
00:37:17,369 --> 00:37:19,369
Yeah.
689
00:37:19,371 --> 00:37:20,503
Rawls
That's just false.
690
00:37:20,505 --> 00:37:23,340
Detective Norris has been
working this case nonstop,
691
00:37:23,342 --> 00:37:24,608
and given her
narcotics expertise,
692
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:29,346
Detective Greggs
was assigned to augment
rather than to replace him.
693
00:37:29,348 --> 00:37:31,815
But for two days, sources inside
the department were saying--
694
00:37:31,817 --> 00:37:35,819
I'm inside the department,
and I'm telling you
that's not true.
695
00:37:35,821 --> 00:37:37,621
We do not play politics
with a criminal investigation.
696
00:37:37,623 --> 00:37:40,523
Reporter:
And how do you explain
Councilman Gray's allegations?
697
00:37:40,525 --> 00:37:44,628
Rawls:
I think you should ask
Councilman Gray that question.
698
00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:46,997
( tires screech )
699
00:37:50,702 --> 00:37:52,636
Police!
Search warrant!
700
00:37:52,838 --> 00:37:53,637
Take the back.
701
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:55,839
- Officer: On the ground, now!
- Police! Search warrant!
702
00:37:55,841 --> 00:37:57,707
Officer 2:
Two upstairs.
703
00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:02,412
- Officer 3: Don't move!
- Officer 4: Check that
back room.
704
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:04,047
Officer 5:
I said, get your ass
on the ground.
705
00:38:04,049 --> 00:38:06,449
- Officer 4: Get down!
- Officer 5: Get down!
706
00:38:10,322 --> 00:38:12,355
( tires screeching )
707
00:38:15,594 --> 00:38:18,361
Officer 6:
This is the 1300 block, right?
708
00:38:18,363 --> 00:38:19,462
No, this is the 12.
709
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,831
Officer 7:
Are we on the right corner?
710
00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:24,501
We had this
as a stash house?
711
00:38:24,503 --> 00:38:25,502
According to the wiretap.
712
00:38:25,504 --> 00:38:28,471
How long ago? They move
them around, you know.
713
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:36,479
Zeroes
on the warrants.
714
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:38,682
Minor arrests on
the designated corners, sir.
715
00:38:38,684 --> 00:38:40,550
- They were tipped!
- You think?
716
00:38:40,552 --> 00:38:41,918
Marimow:
For us to come up this empty
717
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,453
at all these locations,
it has to be.
718
00:38:43,455 --> 00:38:46,556
This cocksucker Marlo
thinks he's smarter than us?
719
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:47,490
He is not.
720
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:48,958
Sergeant, I want to know
where he hangs.
721
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,493
You mean like
him personally?
722
00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:53,396
He moves around, Lieutenant.
He floats but I have seen him
723
00:38:53,398 --> 00:38:55,065
- in the concrete park
behind Fulton.
- In a park?
724
00:38:55,067 --> 00:38:57,701
If the weather's right,
he sits out there in some
lawn chairs, holds court.
725
00:38:57,703 --> 00:39:00,103
He's got people covering
every approach so there's
no creeping up on him.
726
00:39:00,105 --> 00:39:04,674
My guess is that he likes
to talk outdoors so no one
can drop a microphone on him.
727
00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:08,712
Sergeant, what can
we do with that?
728
00:39:10,949 --> 00:39:13,116
( sirens )
729
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:18,421
I admit I've made
some mistakes,
730
00:39:18,423 --> 00:39:20,023
Burrell being
one of the biggest,
731
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:23,460
but he's got a job
for about 10 more days.
732
00:39:23,462 --> 00:39:27,030
After the primary,
he's gone, believe me.
733
00:39:27,032 --> 00:39:30,767
And that last stunt
pulling a detective.
734
00:39:30,769 --> 00:39:32,469
What'd you expect?
735
00:39:32,471 --> 00:39:34,070
Not that.
736
00:39:34,606 --> 00:39:37,907
Hey. I had nothing
to do with that nonsense.
737
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:39,075
Now, that's
a straight up lie.
738
00:39:39,077 --> 00:39:41,611
I was at that damn meeting
when you told him,
739
00:39:41,613 --> 00:39:42,846
"slow the case down."
740
00:39:42,848 --> 00:39:43,780
Royce:
I didn't mean--
741
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:47,550
Who the hell knows what you
mean anymore, Clarence?
742
00:39:47,552 --> 00:39:49,819
Look at this.
743
00:39:50,522 --> 00:39:52,422
Well, look at it!
744
00:39:52,424 --> 00:39:55,625
You gave me
your word on this.
745
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:56,860
Your word, Clarence.
746
00:39:56,862 --> 00:40:00,497
But here you are ticketed
up with Eunetta in her
best precincts
747
00:40:00,499 --> 00:40:03,099
and then ticketed up
with my girl Daniels,
748
00:40:03,101 --> 00:40:04,801
where she's
running strong.
749
00:40:04,803 --> 00:40:06,603
Odell, this is the first
I've seen this.
750
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:07,537
Come on, now!
751
00:40:07,539 --> 00:40:10,440
This is probably Eunetta's
people pulling this shit.
752
00:40:10,442 --> 00:40:12,876
With a "Citizens for Royce"
authority line?
753
00:40:12,878 --> 00:40:16,513
Eh. Look at you, Clarence.
Just look at you.
754
00:40:16,515 --> 00:40:19,749
You've forgotten your agenda.
You've forgotten your base.
755
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:24,754
You think a shave
and some Marcus Garvey
posters are gonna get you over?
756
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:25,855
Do you think
that's gonna make up
757
00:40:25,857 --> 00:40:28,758
for jumping in bed with
every damn developer?
758
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,495
Shit. You're even on
Clay Davis' tit.
759
00:40:32,497 --> 00:40:35,598
Now, don't you go getting all
self-righteous with me, Odell.
760
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,768
- Campaign runs on dollars.
You know it.
- Whose dollars?
761
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:42,572
Those sons of bitches
you got around your card table
every month
762
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:45,074
feeding your kitty?
Oh, yeah.
763
00:40:45,076 --> 00:40:46,910
I know about that,
too.
764
00:40:46,912 --> 00:40:50,480
You--
trouble with you--
765
00:40:50,482 --> 00:40:51,448
Fuck you, Clarence.
766
00:40:51,450 --> 00:40:54,083
I'm gonna sit what's left
of this one out.
767
00:40:54,085 --> 00:40:55,452
I'm gonna sit it out.
768
00:40:55,454 --> 00:40:56,553
Sit it out.
769
00:40:56,555 --> 00:40:59,055
- The primary?
- Odell: Sit it out!
770
00:40:59,858 --> 00:41:01,491
Odell!
771
00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:01,925
Odell!
772
00:41:01,927 --> 00:41:03,893
Who the hell do you
think you are, huh?
773
00:41:03,895 --> 00:41:06,963
Come November, I'm still
gonna be the only game in town!
774
00:41:06,965 --> 00:41:09,232
Odell, turn your back on me
now, I won't forget!
775
00:41:09,234 --> 00:41:10,233
We can't afford this.
776
00:41:10,235 --> 00:41:13,536
We need his organization
on Tuesday. Go after him!
777
00:41:13,538 --> 00:41:18,208
Fuck that holier-than-thou--
motherfucker!
778
00:41:19,211 --> 00:41:20,944
Delegate Watkins.
779
00:41:21,613 --> 00:41:23,713
Delegate Watkins!
780
00:41:23,715 --> 00:41:24,848
Wait, sir.
781
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:27,917
I'm sure we can
work this out.
782
00:41:27,919 --> 00:41:30,653
You and the mayor
can talk this through.
783
00:41:40,899 --> 00:41:43,700
Deputy Rawls,
please.
784
00:41:43,702 --> 00:41:46,970
It's Lieutenant Hoskins
at the hall.
785
00:42:07,125 --> 00:42:09,592
Dozerman:
You're gonna use
the hole in the wall, right?
786
00:42:09,594 --> 00:42:11,094
Herc:
Yeah, I'm gonna rub
some dog shit
787
00:42:11,096 --> 00:42:12,629
on the front
of this thing.
788
00:42:12,631 --> 00:42:15,131
I don't want nobody
touching it.
789
00:42:18,537 --> 00:42:20,770
Got it?
790
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:30,613
You need to raise it a bit.
791
00:42:38,223 --> 00:42:42,091
Yeah, that's good.
Right there, that works.
792
00:42:45,263 --> 00:42:46,863
Thought I heard
something.
793
00:42:46,865 --> 00:42:49,065
Rats.
How we doing?
794
00:42:49,067 --> 00:42:50,733
We need to go.
795
00:43:30,709 --> 00:43:33,610
He ain't nothing but
a skanky-ass bitch
to begin with,
796
00:43:33,612 --> 00:43:37,080
and besides, he ex-police,
so you know what that like.
797
00:43:38,183 --> 00:43:39,983
I'm going
to the ladies room.
798
00:43:39,985 --> 00:43:42,719
Bey, you need
to talk to him.
799
00:43:46,625 --> 00:43:48,191
Yo, Daddy,
don't even go there,
800
00:43:48,193 --> 00:43:49,325
with you all
the time telling me
801
00:43:49,327 --> 00:43:50,927
how you dropped out
in the sixth grade,
802
00:43:50,929 --> 00:43:52,629
went up on the corner
with Avon and Stringer.
803
00:43:52,631 --> 00:43:55,765
Earned cheese
for the family, saying
how it made you a man--
804
00:43:55,767 --> 00:43:57,700
All right, all right.
You right.
805
00:43:57,702 --> 00:43:59,669
Can't throw rocks.
But I'm just saying.
806
00:43:59,671 --> 00:44:02,372
You know how your mother be,
with all the fussing.
807
00:44:02,374 --> 00:44:05,008
Maybe you just need
to slow it up.
808
00:44:05,010 --> 00:44:06,643
You know what
I'm saying?
809
00:44:06,645 --> 00:44:08,077
Yo, you heard how
Marlo punked Bodie?
810
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:10,947
Said he either
got to work for him
or give up his corner.
811
00:44:10,949 --> 00:44:13,883
Don't you know,
his sorry ass buckled.
812
00:44:13,885 --> 00:44:15,852
Ohh. You'd have gone
about it different?
813
00:44:15,854 --> 00:44:18,221
Yeah, I'd have
stood tall, like you.
814
00:44:18,356 --> 00:44:20,156
Got my 9.
Fuck Chris and them.
815
00:44:20,158 --> 00:44:22,759
Listen to you,
all spit and fire.
816
00:44:22,761 --> 00:44:24,861
You'd have gone to the mattress
all by your lonesome
817
00:44:24,863 --> 00:44:27,764
and went up against
half of the West Side.
818
00:44:27,766 --> 00:44:28,965
You got it where it counts,
819
00:44:28,967 --> 00:44:31,034
and I respect that
more than anything.
820
00:44:31,036 --> 00:44:32,068
But shit out there now?
821
00:44:32,070 --> 00:44:35,238
It ain't like it was
when we was coming up.
822
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:36,172
Back in the day,
823
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:38,174
a punk nigger
like Marlo steps out,
824
00:44:38,176 --> 00:44:39,375
breaking the rules
and shit,
825
00:44:39,377 --> 00:44:41,944
he find himself in the back
of a car trunk
826
00:44:41,946 --> 00:44:42,945
on the way to Leakin park.
827
00:44:42,947 --> 00:44:45,381
No doubt.
We did that shit right.
828
00:44:45,383 --> 00:44:46,315
Word was your bond.
829
00:44:46,317 --> 00:44:50,119
Man looked out for his own,
knowing he in a family.
830
00:44:50,121 --> 00:44:51,688
Dig where I'm coming from?
831
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:55,224
But today,
it's all fucked up.
832
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:58,461
( music playing )
833
00:45:12,110 --> 00:45:13,843
These steps.
834
00:45:13,845 --> 00:45:16,946
- Thank you, baby.
- You're good to go.
835
00:45:22,220 --> 00:45:25,788
( music playing )
836
00:45:41,773 --> 00:45:44,340
Say "Omar."
837
00:45:44,342 --> 00:45:46,209
Omar.
838
00:45:57,956 --> 00:45:59,355
Nothing?
839
00:46:00,492 --> 00:46:02,191
We checked both
sides of the street
840
00:46:02,193 --> 00:46:04,227
- from here up to Monroe.
- Nothing?
841
00:46:04,229 --> 00:46:06,929
Nothing that don't belong
in no sewer.
842
00:46:06,931 --> 00:46:08,131
Thanks.
843
00:46:08,133 --> 00:46:10,933
( music playing on radio )
844
00:46:15,006 --> 00:46:17,106
Bunk:
Other ideas?
845
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:20,810
Whoo!
Ha ha ha!
846
00:46:22,180 --> 00:46:25,815
Blood, bump me off
that nigger up the "skreet."
847
00:46:25,817 --> 00:46:27,850
Motherfucker
in the "Bruick?"
848
00:46:27,852 --> 00:46:29,318
That'd be him.
I be saying,
849
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,555
no motherfucker gonna run off
with my "hairron."
850
00:46:32,557 --> 00:46:33,956
Oh, this is fucking great.
851
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:38,060
Get somebody who reads lips,
this motherfucker's history.
852
00:46:38,062 --> 00:46:39,195
Sydnor:
Is this legal?
853
00:46:39,197 --> 00:46:40,897
I mean, intercepting
what they're saying?
854
00:46:40,899 --> 00:46:42,999
Herc:
Don't go Freamon on me.
855
00:46:43,001 --> 00:46:45,434
( sniffs )
856
00:46:45,436 --> 00:46:48,104
Shit. I got to run.
857
00:46:48,106 --> 00:46:49,972
Hey, man, what about
some fucking relief?
858
00:46:49,974 --> 00:46:52,241
I been here all morning.
859
00:46:54,546 --> 00:46:57,313
( music playing )
860
00:47:13,298 --> 00:47:15,464
You heard?
861
00:47:15,466 --> 00:47:16,899
They making movies.
862
00:47:16,901 --> 00:47:19,569
Yeah. How you want
to play it?
863
00:47:19,571 --> 00:47:23,606
I ain't sure.
Let's see the fat man.
864
00:47:24,142 --> 00:47:27,009
How'd the other
thing turn out?
865
00:47:27,011 --> 00:47:28,477
All good.
866
00:47:32,884 --> 00:47:33,916
Monell:
Yo.
867
00:47:33,918 --> 00:47:36,018
What up, boy? If you want
some, I got Reese's.
868
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:38,955
Nah, man. You trying
to make some real cheese?
869
00:47:38,957 --> 00:47:39,889
$5.00?
870
00:47:39,891 --> 00:47:40,523
What you need?
871
00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:43,059
Me and Paul gonna get
it on with Tiff.
872
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:45,962
Keep an eye out.
I don't want Mrs. D
creeping up. Feel me?
873
00:47:45,964 --> 00:47:47,864
I feel you,
but I got some sixth graders
874
00:47:47,866 --> 00:47:49,999
- waiting on a special order.
- Let them wait, man.
875
00:47:50,001 --> 00:47:53,169
It ain't like
we gonna be all day.
876
00:47:57,141 --> 00:47:58,441
All right.
877
00:48:00,511 --> 00:48:01,878
No, ma'am,
it says right here,
878
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,346
his honor had the Bureau
of Solid Waste
879
00:48:03,348 --> 00:48:05,181
conduct a clean sweep
along Tivoly.
880
00:48:05,183 --> 00:48:07,216
Woman:
But it took 6 months
before they showed up.
881
00:48:07,218 --> 00:48:09,418
Well, yeah, ok.
Well, nobody's perfect.
882
00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:10,987
But hey, listen.
I wouldn't be sitting here
883
00:48:10,989 --> 00:48:12,321
if I didn't believe
Clarence Royce
884
00:48:12,323 --> 00:48:14,490
wasn't truly committed
to this city and its people.
885
00:48:14,492 --> 00:48:16,525
Woman:
What about the crime
in our neighborhood?
886
00:48:16,527 --> 00:48:18,494
I admit, that's another
good point.
887
00:48:18,496 --> 00:48:21,397
But, lady,
between you and me,
888
00:48:21,399 --> 00:48:22,932
I can tell from your voice
you're black
889
00:48:22,934 --> 00:48:25,167
and you can tell from
my voice I'm white.
890
00:48:25,169 --> 00:48:26,335
So I got to ask you,
891
00:48:26,337 --> 00:48:29,405
when do you think the last
time a white man voted
for a black man
892
00:48:29,407 --> 00:48:31,173
when there was another
white man in the race?
893
00:48:31,175 --> 00:48:33,643
Woman:
I don't know, but you must
really believe in him.
894
00:48:33,645 --> 00:48:35,311
Well, ain't that
what I been saying?
895
00:48:35,313 --> 00:48:37,280
He's just
the best candidate.
896
00:48:37,282 --> 00:48:38,347
So you'll go
with my man?
897
00:48:38,349 --> 00:48:39,515
Woman:
I'll think about it.
898
00:48:39,517 --> 00:48:41,684
All right, that's great.
Thank you for your time.
899
00:48:41,686 --> 00:48:44,954
- Woman: All right.
- All right.
900
00:48:54,032 --> 00:48:55,164
I have a hall pass.
901
00:48:55,166 --> 00:48:57,066
Yeah, good for you.
902
00:49:41,012 --> 00:49:42,278
Mine's down.
903
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,547
Atta boy.
904
00:49:45,016 --> 00:49:47,483
Bunk:
You need bodies, Lester...
905
00:49:47,485 --> 00:49:49,585
here you go.
906
00:49:50,588 --> 00:49:55,691
We got a warrant
and a teletype for
my boy Lex.
907
00:49:55,693 --> 00:49:57,994
So, dead or alive,
he's on file.
908
00:49:57,996 --> 00:50:03,466
And beyond that,
it's time for you to shine
that mighty intellect of yours
909
00:50:03,468 --> 00:50:04,567
on some real murders.
910
00:50:04,569 --> 00:50:08,371
Give up the hypotheticals
and shit.
911
00:50:08,373 --> 00:50:11,340
Yeah, I suppose.
912
00:50:12,143 --> 00:50:13,376
This is my issue--
crime
913
00:50:13,378 --> 00:50:16,012
and I understand completely
what you're saying,
914
00:50:16,014 --> 00:50:17,313
and if you give me
the opportunity,
915
00:50:17,315 --> 00:50:19,415
I will be able
to do something
to help you out
916
00:50:19,417 --> 00:50:22,752
and, you know, other
people in this
neighborhood.
917
00:50:26,524 --> 00:50:29,492
Mr. Ricks,
thank you for your time
and for your attention.
918
00:50:29,494 --> 00:50:30,526
Ricks:
No problem.
919
00:50:30,528 --> 00:50:32,695
- Thank you.
- Wilson: Thank you.
920
00:50:33,297 --> 00:50:34,063
Pretty brazen,
921
00:50:34,065 --> 00:50:36,432
shaking hands with the enemy
in broad daylight.
922
00:50:36,434 --> 00:50:37,466
( chuckle )
923
00:50:37,468 --> 00:50:39,301
Werner's Deli,
this isn't.
924
00:50:39,303 --> 00:50:40,302
Definitely not.
925
00:50:40,304 --> 00:50:41,704
Though here you are,
Councilman,
926
00:50:41,706 --> 00:50:42,705
leaving no door unopened.
927
00:50:42,707 --> 00:50:44,273
Shoe leather
our secret weapon.
928
00:50:44,275 --> 00:50:46,609
You surprised me.
You've made this a horse race.
929
00:50:46,611 --> 00:50:49,745
So, ah, what makes me think
you didn't just happen by
930
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,414
and find us here?
931
00:50:53,351 --> 00:50:55,718
Watkins is breaking
with the mayor.
932
00:50:56,220 --> 00:50:58,521
- How do you know?
- I know.
933
00:50:58,523 --> 00:51:01,690
Rawls:
I've carried the mayor's water
because I had to, Councilman.
934
00:51:01,692 --> 00:51:04,627
I'd love to see some
new blood in this city.
935
00:51:04,629 --> 00:51:05,494
And I'd love the chance
936
00:51:05,496 --> 00:51:09,832
to do the right thing
for this police department
for a change.
937
00:51:28,619 --> 00:51:31,287
Wait until
he turns the corner.
938
00:51:34,325 --> 00:51:37,626
District office for Watkins.
Gilmor street.
939
00:51:37,628 --> 00:51:40,496
And fuck
them red lights, man,
940
00:51:43,468 --> 00:51:45,601
Wilson:
( laughing )
941
00:51:45,603 --> 00:51:50,306
Not a place you expect
to find any gangsters.
942
00:51:50,308 --> 00:51:52,808
Police,
for that matter.
943
00:51:53,377 --> 00:51:55,678
Heard you knew
something I didn't.
944
00:51:55,847 --> 00:51:57,146
Told you before,
945
00:51:57,148 --> 00:52:00,182
I make it my business
to keep an ear to the ground.
946
00:52:00,184 --> 00:52:02,151
I make it my business
to do business.
947
00:52:02,153 --> 00:52:04,887
We doing business,
or are we just talking?
948
00:52:04,889 --> 00:52:06,222
And if it's talk,
I'ma walk.
949
00:52:06,224 --> 00:52:08,691
I heard the people
pulling security
at the card game
950
00:52:08,693 --> 00:52:11,427
weren't too keen
on their wages.
951
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:12,628
Figured it was only
a matter of time
952
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:16,265
before they found a way
to get their due compensation.
953
00:52:16,267 --> 00:52:18,134
And you didn't think
to tell me?
954
00:52:18,136 --> 00:52:21,637
Man learns best
when he get burned.
955
00:52:22,173 --> 00:52:24,140
How do I know you ain't
making this shit up?
956
00:52:24,142 --> 00:52:27,443
You don't.
Things happen on the street.
957
00:52:27,645 --> 00:52:30,412
Proof is hard to come by.
958
00:52:34,185 --> 00:52:37,219
Go ahead, open it.
959
00:52:40,424 --> 00:52:44,326
Off the street,
there's all kind of proof.
960
00:52:44,328 --> 00:52:47,196
They planning on executing
those Friday.
961
00:52:47,198 --> 00:52:49,465
Time it with
the election, I guess,
962
00:52:49,467 --> 00:52:50,866
show they doing their job,
963
00:52:50,868 --> 00:52:54,503
cleaning up the city,
taking down a kingpin.
964
00:52:54,505 --> 00:52:55,538
How did you
come by this?
965
00:52:55,540 --> 00:52:58,908
Told you before,
I keep my ear to the ground.
966
00:52:58,910 --> 00:53:00,342
What are you
gonna do with it?
967
00:53:00,344 --> 00:53:05,347
Maybe nothing.
Charlie's not
part of the co-op.
968
00:53:05,950 --> 00:53:07,716
Or maybe I tip
him for a fee.
969
00:53:07,718 --> 00:53:12,188
What do you think a man
with a whole lot of money
970
00:53:12,190 --> 00:53:16,192
would pay
for his freedom?
971
00:53:16,727 --> 00:53:19,195
You know, lately,
972
00:53:19,197 --> 00:53:22,698
I come to find out someone
trying to take pictures on me.
973
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:24,433
Pictures?
974
00:53:24,435 --> 00:53:25,868
Video.
975
00:53:25,870 --> 00:53:29,271
You heard anything about
me through your travels?
976
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:32,508
Had no incentive
to listen.
977
00:53:35,746 --> 00:53:37,479
You do now.
978
00:53:51,629 --> 00:53:53,495
It's one thing
to sit out the primary.
979
00:53:53,497 --> 00:53:57,766
It's another for me
to turn on Clarence Royce.
980
00:53:57,768 --> 00:53:58,434
Granted.
981
00:53:58,436 --> 00:54:02,871
And if I did jump,
why not land behind Tony Gray?
982
00:54:02,873 --> 00:54:05,608
At least he's from
my side of the tracks.
983
00:54:05,610 --> 00:54:09,445
Tony can't win.
I can.
984
00:54:10,248 --> 00:54:12,715
Look. The truth is,
whatever I can do for you,
985
00:54:12,717 --> 00:54:14,717
the Mayor
can match or double.
986
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,852
I have a pretty good
grass roots organization,
987
00:54:16,854 --> 00:54:18,954
but nothing even close
to his kind of money.
988
00:54:18,956 --> 00:54:21,290
Now, I'll ticket up with
anyone you want me to.
989
00:54:21,292 --> 00:54:24,893
I know you want
Daniels in the 11th
and Stokes in the 10th.
990
00:54:24,895 --> 00:54:27,563
I'll keep away from
any tickets you think
I might harm.
991
00:54:27,565 --> 00:54:29,765
I know I'm not everyone's
idea of a bargain
992
00:54:29,767 --> 00:54:31,734
- on your side of town.
- Hmm.
993
00:54:31,736 --> 00:54:35,571
But right now,
a week from the primary,
994
00:54:35,573 --> 00:54:39,575
the fact is,
Royce and I both need you.
995
00:54:39,577 --> 00:54:40,643
After the election,
996
00:54:40,645 --> 00:54:43,012
the equation changes
for him, but not for me.
997
00:54:43,014 --> 00:54:45,881
I'm a white mayor
in a majority-black city,
998
00:54:45,883 --> 00:54:47,449
and if I'm gonna
do anything
999
00:54:47,451 --> 00:54:50,519
and, delegate,
I am so serious
about fixing this city
1000
00:54:50,521 --> 00:54:52,988
I'm gonna have to govern
by consensus.
1001
00:54:52,990 --> 00:54:53,856
And if you support me,
1002
00:54:53,858 --> 00:54:55,758
you will have a voice
within my administration
1003
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,861
simply because
I'm gonna need it.
1004
00:55:01,399 --> 00:55:04,700
Last poll that
Clarence showed me,
1005
00:55:04,702 --> 00:55:07,469
he was up by 7 points.
1006
00:55:07,471 --> 00:55:11,006
Bullshit.
I'm within 4.
1007
00:55:12,443 --> 00:55:15,010
( thunder )
1008
00:55:15,479 --> 00:55:17,780
You won't be
needing that.
1009
00:55:17,782 --> 00:55:19,348
I know.
1010
00:55:21,319 --> 00:55:22,551
Here?
1011
00:55:22,553 --> 00:55:24,053
Yeah, here.
1012
00:56:01,525 --> 00:56:02,624
Dag.
1013
00:56:02,626 --> 00:56:05,728
Yo, turn it off.
The bulb might have
got too hot.
1014
00:56:05,730 --> 00:56:08,397
Michael:
Or the batteries dying.
1015
00:56:09,367 --> 00:56:11,533
We should go back.
1016
00:56:14,004 --> 00:56:16,472
Michael:
Yo, man, it stinks, man.
1017
00:56:16,474 --> 00:56:18,407
Ain't like it was.
1018
00:56:31,956 --> 00:56:34,123
You see he ain't move.
1019
00:56:37,561 --> 00:56:39,561
Yeah.
1020
00:56:39,563 --> 00:56:42,531
Blood still stuck
to his hair.
1021
00:56:42,533 --> 00:56:44,466
