1
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,039
You need another bag ?
2
00:00:22,766 --> 00:00:23,798
Yo, Mike, where you at ?
3
00:00:24,443 --> 00:00:25,147
Yeah, over here.
4
00:00:26,225 --> 00:00:26,874
Drug war ?
5
00:00:31,611 --> 00:00:33,758
Barksdals coming back
on my boy Marlo, hmm ?
6
00:00:35,823 --> 00:00:36,315
Shit.
7
00:00:37,441 --> 00:00:37,816
Got it.
8
00:00:46,155 --> 00:00:47,622
Yo man, I don't know where we at.
9
00:00:48,654 --> 00:00:50,612
We are in Baltimore, Lamar.
10
00:00:51,598 --> 00:00:52,701
Baltimore, Maryland.
11
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,846
That's the second crib of mine
them motherfuckers cracked this week.
12
00:02:04,621 --> 00:02:06,005
Stir up a hornet's nest
13
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,186
no tellin' who gonna get stung.
14
00:02:17,832 --> 00:02:19,275
All paranoid an' shit.
15
00:02:20,312 --> 00:02:20,839
Got to be.
16
00:02:38,171 --> 00:02:39,181
They got Latroy.
17
00:02:42,556 --> 00:02:44,609
What the fuck is y'all
on the streets for, man ?
18
00:02:44,633 --> 00:02:47,025
Don't you all know there's
a fucking war going on, man ?
19
00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:48,421
Get the fuck in the truck, man.
20
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:22,455
What happened to all them towers ?
21
00:03:23,581 --> 00:03:24,543
Slow train comin'.
22
00:03:28,977 --> 00:03:30,044
Reform, Lamar.
23
00:03:31,487 --> 00:03:32,201
Reform.
24
00:05:06,944 --> 00:05:08,069
Reformation
25
00:05:28,149 --> 00:05:30,518
We should be up on
this shit, hearin' voices.
26
00:05:30,953 --> 00:05:33,264
We get a signature number
on Bodie's phone, we will be.
27
00:05:33,311 --> 00:05:35,118
We got enough P.C.
off the burners alone.
28
00:05:35,727 --> 00:05:38,084
Every time these fucking pen
registers click out a call
29
00:05:38,119 --> 00:05:39,371
it screams drug conspiracy.
30
00:05:39,395 --> 00:05:41,272
I'm not the one
takin' the case to court.
31
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:44,121
Pearlman wants a specific link
to a known drug trafficker.
32
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:52,194
These drug crews ?
33
00:05:52,370 --> 00:05:54,599
They're dumping phones
every couple weeks at best.
34
00:05:54,763 --> 00:05:57,132
So when we do get a wire up,
it's gonna be a limited run.
35
00:05:57,308 --> 00:05:59,885
And dumping phones doesn't
meet the cellular company's
36
00:05:59,897 --> 00:06:01,928
definition of exigent
circumstance, huh ?
37
00:06:03,309 --> 00:06:04,741
What's your boss willing to do ?
38
00:06:05,258 --> 00:06:05,797
Demper ?
39
00:06:06,302 --> 00:06:09,056
He's a bit too focused on next
year's re-election fight.
40
00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:10,082
How about the feds ?
41
00:06:10,486 --> 00:06:12,282
They say they can't
do anything for us
42
00:06:12,563 --> 00:06:15,155
and if you look at how they use
the federal communications act
43
00:06:15,168 --> 00:06:15,988
they're not lying.
44
00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:18,674
For national security stuff,
they use the Patriot Act
45
00:06:18,909 --> 00:06:20,246
every thing else gets shorted.
46
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:23,248
The fact is, the industry
has all of us by the balls.
47
00:06:26,556 --> 00:06:27,894
Pardon my french, Your Honor.
48
00:06:29,876 --> 00:06:31,061
Alright, I'll tell you what.
49
00:06:31,296 --> 00:06:32,632
Best I can do for you is this:
50
00:06:33,078 --> 00:06:36,468
You give me a boilerplate affidavit
with the P.C. from the court report
51
00:06:37,747 --> 00:06:40,187
and then as you get fresh
numbers for new disposables
52
00:06:40,205 --> 00:06:40,921
you call me...
53
00:06:41,965 --> 00:06:45,073
anytime, day or night,
to jump phones.
54
00:06:45,461 --> 00:06:46,351
That helps.
55
00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:48,263
But we're still gonna be getting up
56
00:06:48,276 --> 00:06:50,164
on their phones even
as they're coming down.
57
00:06:50,172 --> 00:06:50,946
Yeah, probably so.
58
00:06:50,947 --> 00:06:53,058
- This is so totally...
- fucked up ?
59
00:06:55,334 --> 00:07:02,689
"Je parle français bien,
et tu es très charmant aujourd'hui."
60
00:07:08,084 --> 00:07:09,890
Judge Phelan has you on his mind.
61
00:07:10,949 --> 00:07:12,381
How long has that been going on ?
62
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:13,893
Started with...
63
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,107
my first jury trial
in his court, I think.
64
00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:18,925
I bet you won all your motions.
65
00:07:24,784 --> 00:07:25,922
You wanted to see me, sir ?
66
00:07:26,509 --> 00:07:27,130
Have a seat.
67
00:07:31,846 --> 00:07:33,727
I wanna thank you for
the loyalty you showed
68
00:07:34,514 --> 00:07:35,382
moving that body.
69
00:07:37,175 --> 00:07:39,181
It wasn't the most
sensible thing, but...
70
00:07:39,452 --> 00:07:40,633
I appreciate it nonetheless.
71
00:07:42,056 --> 00:07:43,278
You're a good man, Sergeant
72
00:07:44,189 --> 00:07:45,268
you got good instincts
73
00:07:45,784 --> 00:07:48,282
and as far as I can tell
you're a decent supervisor.
74
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:51,027
But from where I sit
75
00:07:52,657 --> 00:07:54,431
you ain't shit when
it come to policin'.
76
00:07:55,416 --> 00:07:57,528
Don't take it personal,
ain't just you.
77
00:07:57,551 --> 00:07:59,452
It's all our young police.
78
00:08:00,191 --> 00:08:01,411
A whole generation of y'all.
79
00:08:02,443 --> 00:08:03,545
Now, you think about it:
80
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:07,428
You been here over
a year now, Carver.
81
00:08:07,464 --> 00:08:09,399
You got nobody looking out for you
82
00:08:09,469 --> 00:08:11,040
nobody willing to talk to you.
83
00:08:12,566 --> 00:08:13,563
That about sum it up ?
84
00:08:15,252 --> 00:08:16,212
And that's a problem.
85
00:08:17,304 --> 00:08:18,816
And I didn't think
there was anyway
86
00:08:18,827 --> 00:08:20,505
I was ever gonna
get my head around it.
87
00:08:20,518 --> 00:08:22,617
But then Dozerman
gets shot for some bullshit...
88
00:08:25,042 --> 00:08:26,720
and that's when
I 'bout reach my limit.
89
00:08:28,044 --> 00:08:29,840
And that's when the idea
of the free zone
90
00:08:29,863 --> 00:08:30,966
of Hamsterdam come to me.
91
00:08:30,989 --> 00:08:34,050
Because this drug thing,
this ain't police work.
92
00:08:34,696 --> 00:08:35,868
No, it ain't.
93
00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:40,114
I mean, I can send any fool
with a badge and a gun
94
00:08:40,126 --> 00:08:42,554
up on those corners and
jack a crew and grab vials.
95
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:44,325
But policing ?
96
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,381
You call something a war,
and pretty soon
97
00:08:49,382 --> 00:08:51,897
everybody gonna running
around acting like warriors.
98
00:08:53,094 --> 00:08:55,393
They gonna be runnin'
around on a damn crusade
99
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:58,181
stormin' corners, slappin' on
cuffs, rackin' up body counts.
100
00:08:59,942 --> 00:09:02,228
And when you at war,
you need a fuckin' enemy.
101
00:09:03,156 --> 00:09:04,187
And pretty soon
102
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:07,521
damn near everybody on every
corner is your fuckin' enemy
103
00:09:08,412 --> 00:09:11,069
and soon the neighborhood that
you're supposed to be policin'
104
00:09:11,367 --> 00:09:12,752
that's just occupied territory.
105
00:09:15,238 --> 00:09:16,154
You follow this ?
106
00:09:17,128 --> 00:09:17,785
I think so.
107
00:09:18,481 --> 00:09:20,744
Look, the point I'm makin',
Carver, is this...
108
00:09:21,226 --> 00:09:23,818
soldierin' and policin',
they ain't the same thing.
109
00:09:24,486 --> 00:09:26,503
And before we went
and took the wrong turn
110
00:09:26,504 --> 00:09:28,404
and started with these war games
111
00:09:29,396 --> 00:09:32,117
the cop walked a beat,
and he learned that post.
112
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:36,317
And if there were things
that happened up on that post
113
00:09:36,327 --> 00:09:38,545
whether there be a rape,
a robbery, a shooting...
114
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:41,947
he had people out there helping
him, feeding him information.
115
00:09:43,474 --> 00:09:46,452
But every time I come to you,
my D.E.U. sergeant
116
00:09:46,985 --> 00:09:47,977
for information
117
00:09:48,545 --> 00:09:50,839
to find out what's going
on out there on them streets
118
00:09:52,233 --> 00:09:53,853
all that came back
was some bullshit.
119
00:09:55,674 --> 00:09:58,476
You had your stats, you had
your arrests, you had your seizures.
120
00:09:59,009 --> 00:10:01,620
But don't none of that amount
to shit when you talking about
121
00:10:01,632 --> 00:10:03,772
protecting a neighborhood
now, do it ?
122
00:10:10,978 --> 00:10:12,515
You know the worst
thing about this
123
00:10:13,969 --> 00:10:15,140
so called drug war ?
124
00:10:15,837 --> 00:10:16,700
To my mind ?
125
00:10:20,867 --> 00:10:23,268
It just ruined this job.
126
00:10:26,117 --> 00:10:26,768
Major ?
127
00:10:27,109 --> 00:10:27,879
What do you got ?
128
00:10:28,056 --> 00:10:28,708
Incoming.
129
00:10:29,475 --> 00:10:30,550
"Sunpapers" reporter.
130
00:10:30,929 --> 00:10:32,680
Been to the free zones,
all three of 'em.
131
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:36,013
It's begun.
132
00:10:41,068 --> 00:10:43,419
I was thinkin', maybe
we rewrite the affidavit
133
00:10:43,431 --> 00:10:45,879
add some of the stuff we're
gettin' from the pen registers
134
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:47,841
build the case that way,
take it to the judge.
135
00:10:47,865 --> 00:10:48,881
You have a law degree ?
136
00:10:48,989 --> 00:10:50,915
If you did, it would
be your call to make.
137
00:10:51,081 --> 00:10:53,102
Who would pretend to be
a lawyer that wasn't ?
138
00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:55,089
I'm just saying.
139
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:56,886
I think we're being
too cautious on this.
140
00:10:56,898 --> 00:10:58,576
We're going the
extra mile for Phelan.
141
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,035
A short cut now could cost us
later in motions hearings.
142
00:11:01,165 --> 00:11:02,768
We drew Phelan on this wiretap ?
143
00:11:02,993 --> 00:11:05,239
That two-faced hack sold
me out the last go-round.
144
00:11:05,334 --> 00:11:05,912
Relax...
145
00:11:06,610 --> 00:11:08,821
he's not running for
a new term. He'll be fine.
146
00:11:08,822 --> 00:11:10,003
He's a piece of shit.
147
00:11:10,087 --> 00:11:12,232
We're all pieces of shit
when we're in your way.
148
00:11:12,929 --> 00:11:14,394
That goes with the territory.
149
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:26,119
Point taken.
150
00:11:28,365 --> 00:11:30,611
So it's these warehouses
151
00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:34,093
the old Winchester homes and the
dead blocks down by Vincent Street.
152
00:11:34,365 --> 00:11:35,133
All three.
153
00:11:36,174 --> 00:11:38,399
And they're just supposed
to let it go on like this ?
154
00:11:38,408 --> 00:11:41,139
Colvin told us to push the
street dealing in these areas
155
00:11:41,222 --> 00:11:43,225
then we would start
locking people up.
156
00:11:43,532 --> 00:11:45,329
But so far, not a single
fucking arrest.
157
00:11:45,683 --> 00:11:47,114
And they know about this downtown ?
158
00:11:47,137 --> 00:11:49,182
I don't think they have
a fucking clue about it.
159
00:11:49,195 --> 00:11:51,406
But I'd love to be there
when you pop the question.
160
00:11:54,161 --> 00:11:55,131
This is just...
161
00:11:56,195 --> 00:11:57,129
Tell me about it.
162
00:12:05,999 --> 00:12:07,607
Got the place lookin' good.
163
00:12:07,725 --> 00:12:08,292
Yeah.
164
00:12:08,493 --> 00:12:11,627
Now all needs doin' is to go
out and get you some kids.
165
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:12,721
Come on, man.
166
00:12:13,444 --> 00:12:14,625
You makin' it sound easy
167
00:12:15,464 --> 00:12:16,989
but to tell you the truth
168
00:12:17,852 --> 00:12:20,323
I ain't got no idea how
to go at these hoppers.
169
00:12:20,347 --> 00:12:22,286
I wouldn't lose
any sleep over that.
170
00:12:22,924 --> 00:12:24,404
Nobody else does neither.
171
00:12:33,069 --> 00:12:33,933
We got one.
172
00:12:35,153 --> 00:12:35,875
His grandmother...
173
00:12:36,170 --> 00:12:36,903
Looking for me ?
174
00:12:36,915 --> 00:12:39,775
Look, boy, there's no reason
to leave your clothes in the washer.
175
00:12:39,835 --> 00:12:41,962
How many damn times
do I have to tell you...
176
00:12:41,987 --> 00:12:44,553
Gag, grandma, sorry,
I just forgot, okay ?
177
00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:47,238
But I did pick up the laundry
soap, I picked it up...
178
00:12:47,262 --> 00:12:48,893
Laundry soap,
that's definitely code.
179
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,589
Now, let's listen to an intercept
we made of Bodie Broadus
180
00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:54,130
when we were up on the pay
phones a couple years back.
181
00:12:55,264 --> 00:12:56,141
I'm tellin' ya all
182
00:12:56,257 --> 00:12:58,539
I saw the boy he sayin'
he ain't got that thing.
183
00:12:58,763 --> 00:13:00,206
Same voice, no question.
184
00:13:00,454 --> 00:13:01,494
I'll let the judge know.
185
00:13:02,062 --> 00:13:04,285
Reference the voice comparison
in the court report.
186
00:13:04,355 --> 00:13:05,538
We're up.
187
00:13:13,169 --> 00:13:14,528
Major Colvin, Western district.
188
00:13:14,753 --> 00:13:16,623
Banisky, "Sunpapers".
189
00:13:17,074 --> 00:13:18,362
So this your idea ?
190
00:13:22,784 --> 00:13:23,800
Mind if we walk ?
191
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,325
You got dealers
selling with impunity.
192
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:33,972
Addicts shooting up on the street.
193
00:13:34,623 --> 00:13:37,531
People down here doing outreach,
giving out needles and all.
194
00:13:38,134 --> 00:13:40,273
I mean, who knows about
this down at headquarters ?
195
00:13:40,285 --> 00:13:42,342
Command is well
aware of the situation
196
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:45,795
and while there were
some initial concern
197
00:13:45,817 --> 00:13:48,023
but they feel the cases
that we're gonna bring in...
198
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:48,579
Cases ?
199
00:13:49,016 --> 00:13:50,434
Yeah, prosecutions, sure.
200
00:13:50,459 --> 00:13:53,533
Your officers say no one's being
locked up in the free zones.
201
00:13:53,555 --> 00:13:55,819
My troops are only involved
in pushing the trafficking
202
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:56,831
to designated areas.
203
00:13:56,913 --> 00:13:59,492
I mean they're completely ignorant
of the investigative aspect
204
00:13:59,501 --> 00:14:00,940
that's run out of C.I.D. downtown.
205
00:14:00,962 --> 00:14:01,530
Yeah ?
206
00:14:01,862 --> 00:14:03,067
Who's the lead detective ?
207
00:14:04,178 --> 00:14:04,900
Look...
208
00:14:06,723 --> 00:14:08,188
I already said more than I should.
209
00:14:08,802 --> 00:14:11,557
Bottom line is you start
throwing calls around right now
210
00:14:12,526 --> 00:14:14,619
they gonna shit blue
thinking there's a leak.
211
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,452
They gonna come up
on the case early
212
00:14:16,464 --> 00:14:18,763
and we're not gonna get all
we can out of the good work
213
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:19,507
we did down here.
214
00:14:19,578 --> 00:14:22,191
You're telling me all this
is an enforcement strategy.
215
00:14:23,752 --> 00:14:25,490
What the hell else could it be ?
216
00:14:26,668 --> 00:14:29,424
I mean, you think we'd actually
let this happen otherwise ?
217
00:14:29,931 --> 00:14:31,032
Come on, Banisky.
218
00:14:31,563 --> 00:14:33,302
I mean, look, look at this mess.
219
00:14:34,980 --> 00:14:36,635
Any other reporter gets on it...
220
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:41,178
I give it to you and you
run with it right then.
221
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:42,502
Absolutely.
222
00:14:44,156 --> 00:14:44,759
A week.
223
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:47,019
But then I gotta run
something no matter what.
224
00:14:48,372 --> 00:14:49,720
Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
225
00:14:49,731 --> 00:14:50,512
It's understood.
226
00:14:54,484 --> 00:14:56,281
So, Brother, what
brought you back ?
227
00:14:57,333 --> 00:14:59,952
It disturbs me to leave
business unfinished.
228
00:15:01,136 --> 00:15:03,736
Heard you was shot before
you even got started down here.
229
00:15:04,528 --> 00:15:05,840
Not like you to get played.
230
00:15:06,242 --> 00:15:07,602
Betrayed, you mean.
231
00:15:08,335 --> 00:15:10,061
I am looking for the man they sent.
232
00:15:10,708 --> 00:15:13,380
From his accent he's homegrown,
raised on the street.
233
00:15:14,077 --> 00:15:16,868
Skilled, intelligent.
Late 20s, dark
234
00:15:17,577 --> 00:15:20,734
but with a scar
across his face like so.
235
00:15:22,653 --> 00:15:23,835
You down with this nigger ?
236
00:15:24,273 --> 00:15:24,876
I know him.
237
00:15:25,479 --> 00:15:26,366
Not to speak to
238
00:15:27,512 --> 00:15:29,202
but you can't be
anywhere near the game
239
00:15:29,226 --> 00:15:30,563
and not know
the motherfucker.
240
00:15:31,538 --> 00:15:32,720
He with Barksdale ?
241
00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:34,422
He with himself.
242
00:15:35,522 --> 00:15:37,874
'Cept for when he runnin'
with a young boy or two...
243
00:15:40,239 --> 00:15:42,083
10 months to the primary,
and you right now
244
00:15:42,095 --> 00:15:43,177
should be all about money.
245
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:45,470
I know, I know,
dialing for dollars.
246
00:15:45,483 --> 00:15:48,367
You start this week and you don't
stop until you hit your numbers.
247
00:15:48,674 --> 00:15:50,731
We're gonna need a million
just for television.
248
00:15:50,755 --> 00:15:52,174
You really think this is doable ?
249
00:15:52,428 --> 00:15:54,473
The odds aren't great, but yeah...
250
00:15:55,017 --> 00:15:56,116
I think it can be done.
251
00:15:56,554 --> 00:15:59,272
As long as the thousand things
that can go wrong don't go wrong.
252
00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:00,337
Even for a white guy ?
253
00:16:01,129 --> 00:16:02,074
Even for a white guy.
254
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,948
Speaking of which
255
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:07,667
I notice a certain
monochromatic effect here.
256
00:16:08,288 --> 00:16:10,734
One thing we're gonna
need is black faces
257
00:16:11,362 --> 00:16:13,555
and we're gonna need them
in prominent positions.
258
00:16:13,697 --> 00:16:14,228
You're right.
259
00:16:14,571 --> 00:16:17,196
We've gotta start thinking about
endorsements by black leaders.
260
00:16:17,207 --> 00:16:19,962
Ministers, community people,
elected officials.
261
00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:21,766
Here comes the hard part:
262
00:16:22,085 --> 00:16:25,170
Splitting the black vote is the
only way to make the math work.
263
00:16:25,822 --> 00:16:27,724
So Tony Gray's gotta
get in the race
264
00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:30,632
he's gotta stay in the race and
he's gotta stay viable in the race.
265
00:16:30,739 --> 00:16:32,431
Guy's kind of a lightweight,
ain't he ?
266
00:16:32,442 --> 00:16:33,789
He's a good guy, all in all.
267
00:16:33,849 --> 00:16:35,623
Great, he's a good guy
268
00:16:36,024 --> 00:16:38,306
but we need him to siphon
votes from Royce.
269
00:16:38,447 --> 00:16:39,004
I dunno.
270
00:16:39,867 --> 00:16:40,860
This thing with Tony...
271
00:16:41,616 --> 00:16:43,128
it's not personal, Tommy.
272
00:16:43,495 --> 00:16:44,488
It's politics.
273
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,829
Live with it or lose.
274
00:16:51,072 --> 00:16:51,781
Hey, yo.
275
00:16:51,842 --> 00:16:54,189
That boy with the sharp nose,
he gonna, you know...
276
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,228
he going to the Apollo.
277
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,045
The Apollo ?
278
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:57,924
Yeah, he gonna need two tickets.
279
00:16:58,113 --> 00:17:00,053
Damn, Tweety Bird
workin' that shit.
280
00:17:00,064 --> 00:17:02,972
Motherfucker, how many times
I gotta tell you not to use no names ?
281
00:17:02,985 --> 00:17:05,017
Oh yeah, right.
So I holler at you ?
282
00:17:05,313 --> 00:17:06,318
Yeah, a-ight.
283
00:17:08,103 --> 00:17:09,486
Apollo, like the theater ?
284
00:17:09,522 --> 00:17:10,881
Like 125th Street.
285
00:17:11,094 --> 00:17:13,565
125 grams, one eighth of a kilo.
286
00:17:13,589 --> 00:17:15,133
Two tickets means twice that.
287
00:17:15,168 --> 00:17:17,024
Only new code so
far is Hamsterdam.
288
00:17:17,225 --> 00:17:18,112
Hamsterdam ?
289
00:17:18,219 --> 00:17:21,091
We're thinkin' it might have
something to do with the stash house.
290
00:17:21,730 --> 00:17:24,377
Well, I'm gonna hook up with Kima,
cash the Tweety Bird meet.
291
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:28,048
You're happy with
what we're getting ?
292
00:17:28,592 --> 00:17:31,264
Another week of calls like this
and we'll have their network
293
00:17:31,299 --> 00:17:33,546
fleshed out and plenty
more phones to go up on.
294
00:17:35,551 --> 00:17:37,146
I need a moment with the detectives.
295
00:17:38,566 --> 00:17:39,039
Sure.
296
00:17:43,542 --> 00:17:45,399
I.I.D. picked up Prez's shooting.
297
00:17:45,505 --> 00:17:46,386
It's to be expected.
298
00:17:46,469 --> 00:17:49,011
The racial thing alone is tense
enough that they gotta react.
299
00:17:49,022 --> 00:17:50,690
No luck at all to that boy, huh ?
300
00:17:52,498 --> 00:17:53,929
For the supervisor's report
301
00:17:54,922 --> 00:17:56,228
I need to ask if either of you
302
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,746
had any indication that Prez
harbored racial prejudices.
303
00:17:59,444 --> 00:18:02,045
Well, he harbored
some weird shit, no doubt.
304
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:03,665
But I never got a racial vibe.
305
00:18:03,937 --> 00:18:05,438
Lieutenant, you seriously askin' ?
306
00:18:13,543 --> 00:18:14,524
Not to start no shit
307
00:18:14,583 --> 00:18:16,712
but you think Waggoner
gets shot if he's white ?
308
00:18:16,923 --> 00:18:19,336
Description called
for a number one male.
309
00:18:19,548 --> 00:18:20,495
I'm just sayin'.
310
00:18:23,698 --> 00:18:27,399
The good lord set sunday
mornin' aside for church-goin'.
311
00:18:27,777 --> 00:18:30,633
Even kenny bird and peanut,
when they was warring,
312
00:18:30,645 --> 00:18:32,725
had the good sense
to respect the truce.
313
00:18:33,730 --> 00:18:35,457
You know them
Barksdales sent a hat ?
314
00:18:37,454 --> 00:18:38,424
A church crown ?
315
00:18:39,177 --> 00:18:41,754
Walked up, rang the bell,
and set it down on her porch.
316
00:18:42,132 --> 00:18:43,148
'Cause they shamed.
317
00:18:46,033 --> 00:18:47,547
Is Miss Josephine mendin' ?
318
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,551
She bruised up still,
but she a-ight though.
319
00:18:50,722 --> 00:18:51,525
But you ain't.
320
00:18:52,495 --> 00:18:53,934
Not until I settle this for good.
321
00:19:00,082 --> 00:19:02,871
Hey, yo, Butch, I want you
to go inside my bank
322
00:19:03,451 --> 00:19:04,284
and spread the word:
323
00:19:04,295 --> 00:19:06,884
Omar payin' cash money to get
at them people, ya feel me ?
324
00:19:07,417 --> 00:19:08,185
Save your money.
325
00:19:08,410 --> 00:19:10,100
Come now, Butch,
I got to do this, yo.
326
00:19:10,113 --> 00:19:11,531
I'm sayin' you ain't got to pay.
327
00:19:15,108 --> 00:19:16,444
Thomkins, up on McCulloh.
328
00:19:19,022 --> 00:19:20,038
What the funeral home ?
329
00:19:23,467 --> 00:19:26,299
You mean to tell me, all this time,
you had a scope on them clowns
330
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:28,001
and you ain't let loose
a mumblin' word.
331
00:19:28,013 --> 00:19:29,562
Caught myself lookin' out for you.
332
00:19:30,366 --> 00:19:32,941
Fact of the matter is,
your chances of goin' up
333
00:19:32,942 --> 00:19:36,341
against that mob and comin'
back is as slim as a garter snake.
334
00:19:41,312 --> 00:19:42,612
I can't help that now, Butch.
335
00:19:49,309 --> 00:19:50,717
The fuck ?
Where's my people ?
336
00:19:51,199 --> 00:19:52,300
Slim Charles pulled 'em.
337
00:19:52,699 --> 00:19:53,532
Hired new muscle.
338
00:19:53,778 --> 00:19:55,621
Slim Charles ?
When the fuck did he...
339
00:19:57,961 --> 00:19:58,805
How's the count ?
340
00:19:59,486 --> 00:20:01,280
Down bad for the
third straight week.
341
00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:03,392
And the shelf-life
of the shit we got
342
00:20:03,496 --> 00:20:04,764
it ain't gonna last, String.
343
00:20:12,203 --> 00:20:12,859
I know.
344
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:15,487
Slim said they was to stick
to you for protection.
345
00:20:22,112 --> 00:20:22,850
Nice shot.
346
00:20:23,367 --> 00:20:25,150
Dribble it back out.
Dribble it back out.
347
00:20:25,594 --> 00:20:26,546
Get your dribble on.
348
00:20:28,551 --> 00:20:29,947
Hey, yo, easy, easy.
349
00:20:30,493 --> 00:20:31,959
Y'all just hacking my man up.
350
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,249
Foul machine.
351
00:20:36,358 --> 00:20:37,073
Nice drive.
352
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,815
Kinda unschooled, ain't they ?
353
00:20:44,961 --> 00:20:47,495
Is that observation meant as
just a casual curbside fuck-you
354
00:20:47,518 --> 00:20:49,783
or are you lookin' to step up,
maybe help out here ?
355
00:20:51,178 --> 00:20:52,246
I'ma give it a try.
356
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,390
I'm lookin' to get some
kids interested in boxin'.
357
00:20:57,396 --> 00:20:57,818
Boxing ?
358
00:21:00,552 --> 00:21:01,209
Look here.
359
00:21:02,252 --> 00:21:03,532
This is my time-out corner.
360
00:21:04,384 --> 00:21:06,683
Where I send children
who can't play nice together.
361
00:21:07,962 --> 00:21:10,801
Listen up, this man's
starting a boxing program.
362
00:21:10,823 --> 00:21:13,756
And from the looks of some of you,
signing on might be a good thing.
363
00:21:13,869 --> 00:21:14,736
Gonna need it.
364
00:21:14,995 --> 00:21:16,870
Only thing he know
how to do with his fist
365
00:21:16,882 --> 00:21:18,137
is wrap it around his cock.
366
00:21:18,595 --> 00:21:19,392
Fuck you, man.
367
00:21:19,439 --> 00:21:20,460
I'm gonna kick your ass.
368
00:21:20,472 --> 00:21:22,173
Come on, motherfucker,
you ain't shit.
369
00:21:23,764 --> 00:21:26,228
Yo, sit down, sit down,
come on, ease up.
370
00:21:26,239 --> 00:21:29,360
Sit down, sit down, come on,
man, sit down, man, sit down.
371
00:21:30,896 --> 00:21:31,624
My man...
372
00:21:37,512 --> 00:21:39,564
my man, you droppin' your right.
373
00:21:40,725 --> 00:21:43,154
You see, if the youngun there
was trained, he'd whip you.
374
00:21:43,271 --> 00:21:44,819
Look like he was the one got beat.
375
00:21:47,347 --> 00:21:48,930
Stand up, let me
show you something.
376
00:21:50,924 --> 00:21:52,555
Come on, man.
I ain't gonna hurt you.
377
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,667
Yellow Tops, Yellow Tops,
got them Yellow Tops.
378
00:21:57,369 --> 00:21:58,237
Yellow tops.
379
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,290
See that ?
380
00:22:01,193 --> 00:22:02,649
Alright, sit down.
381
00:22:03,316 --> 00:22:05,569
Look, if y'all want to learn more
382
00:22:06,554 --> 00:22:09,975
I got a gym down on Gilmor
in the old tire plant.
383
00:22:10,913 --> 00:22:11,758
You're all welcome.
384
00:22:12,755 --> 00:22:13,377
Alright ?
385
00:22:29,286 --> 00:22:30,951
I saw Tweety Bird parked up there.
386
00:22:32,112 --> 00:22:34,024
Now all we got to do
is wait for the re-up.
387
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:37,590
I hope these fucks don't dick 'round
and make us sit here all day.
388
00:22:38,939 --> 00:22:40,054
What, this eatin' at you ?
389
00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:43,184
No, I'm good.
390
00:22:45,284 --> 00:22:46,457
Yeah, I can see that.
391
00:22:50,398 --> 00:22:52,214
Remember that woman
I was talking about ?
392
00:22:52,977 --> 00:22:54,209
The politician woman ?
393
00:22:54,948 --> 00:22:55,756
How's it going ?
394
00:22:56,344 --> 00:22:57,599
It ain't, it turned to shit.
395
00:23:02,266 --> 00:23:05,456
Feel like I don't even belong to any
world that even fucking matters.
396
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:07,334
'Cause you're a cop ?
397
00:23:08,413 --> 00:23:09,643
Naw, it's not just that.
398
00:23:12,335 --> 00:23:13,800
It's like, I went to meet her once.
399
00:23:13,813 --> 00:23:15,619
She was in a hotel
room, the top floor.
400
00:23:15,924 --> 00:23:18,462
I punch the button on the elevator,
it doesn't even go there
401
00:23:18,463 --> 00:23:20,572
because you have to have
some fucking special key
402
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:22,484
to even get to that
special fucking floor.
403
00:23:23,832 --> 00:23:26,917
So I go to the front desk, some
sneering fuck call upstairs
404
00:23:27,304 --> 00:23:28,888
gimme permission to go get laid.
405
00:23:31,626 --> 00:23:33,232
I listen to the shit she talks about
406
00:23:33,233 --> 00:23:36,165
and for the first time in my life,
I feel like a fucking doormat.
407
00:23:36,622 --> 00:23:38,179
Like anyone with
any smarts would
408
00:23:39,047 --> 00:23:41,017
do something else with
his life, you know ?
409
00:23:41,393 --> 00:23:42,413
Earn money or...
410
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:44,454
get elected.
411
00:23:46,085 --> 00:23:48,610
Like I'm just a breathin'
machine for my fucking dick.
412
00:23:51,918 --> 00:23:52,598
I'm serious.
413
00:23:54,087 --> 00:23:55,930
I'm the smartest asshole
in three districts
414
00:23:55,952 --> 00:23:57,889
and she looks at me like
I'm some stupid fuck
415
00:23:57,911 --> 00:24:01,105
playing some stupid game
for stupid penny-ante stakes.
416
00:24:04,353 --> 00:24:05,972
She fuckin' looks through me, Kima.
417
00:24:18,004 --> 00:24:18,901
Stay in the car, man.
418
00:24:18,962 --> 00:24:20,886
But the tall man said
to stick to you like...
419
00:24:20,908 --> 00:24:23,525
Tall man gonna be there when
I'm stomp on your fucking head ?
420
00:24:24,344 --> 00:24:25,025
Stay in the car.
421
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:39,652
Yo, make it short, man,
I got a meet to make.
422
00:24:39,712 --> 00:24:40,979
Oh, fuck the meet !
423
00:24:41,365 --> 00:24:43,934
You harder to get at than
my fat wife's cunt, nigger.
424
00:24:44,157 --> 00:24:45,760
Yeah, you high and
mighty Barksdales
425
00:24:45,761 --> 00:24:47,671
can afford to sit back
and play low key,
426
00:24:48,262 --> 00:24:50,284
But some of us gotta work
for a got-damn livin'.
427
00:24:50,307 --> 00:24:52,676
What you think this mess
ain't fuckin' up our business ?
428
00:24:52,688 --> 00:24:55,105
That mean Avon's willin' to sit
down and talk with Marlo
429
00:24:55,128 --> 00:24:55,996
work this shit out ?
430
00:25:00,014 --> 00:25:03,157
Well, if that don't happen,
String, I got you some bad news.
431
00:25:03,603 --> 00:25:05,433
Me and the boys had us a sit down.
432
00:25:05,738 --> 00:25:07,709
Got a quorum an'
took a vote that says...
433
00:25:08,389 --> 00:25:11,189
if y'all don't quit this war
we of a mind to shut you out.
434
00:25:11,623 --> 00:25:13,921
And when I say out, String,
I mean out the package.
435
00:25:14,414 --> 00:25:16,326
The boys don't want
to extend the good shit
436
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:19,224
if it's gonna keep you and your
peoples out on them corners bangin'.
437
00:25:19,234 --> 00:25:21,111
What about the boy ?
What the fuck he say ?
438
00:25:21,265 --> 00:25:22,730
Vinson say Marlo willing to talk
439
00:25:23,505 --> 00:25:24,854
if he can keep his corners.
440
00:25:27,164 --> 00:25:29,558
Now, hear me on this,
String, we ain't no ingrates.
441
00:25:29,944 --> 00:25:32,501
We all recognize your
contribute to the co-op.
442
00:25:33,124 --> 00:25:34,426
But the feeling is this:
443
00:25:34,977 --> 00:25:37,394
it ain't right for you to be
at the head of our table
444
00:25:37,417 --> 00:25:38,872
when you can't call off your dog.
445
00:25:41,499 --> 00:25:43,470
Call it a crisis of leadership.
446
00:25:49,991 --> 00:25:50,999
You're gonna tell 'em ?
447
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:52,911
Got to.
448
00:25:53,708 --> 00:25:55,658
Between the health care
workers, the reporter
449
00:25:55,744 --> 00:25:57,985
my own pissed-off troops,
it's gonna come out.
450
00:25:59,687 --> 00:26:01,188
Either tomorrow, or the next day.
451
00:26:01,657 --> 00:26:03,029
Then we should make a few arrests
452
00:26:03,698 --> 00:26:04,719
make it look tactical.
453
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:05,861
Naw.
454
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,226
You know what happens if we start
lockin' people up in Hamsterdam ?
455
00:26:11,374 --> 00:26:14,025
The whole rest of the district
goes back to being a shithole.
456
00:26:15,879 --> 00:26:16,295
Naw.
457
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:19,556
If Rawls is gonna hand me my ass
458
00:26:20,963 --> 00:26:23,626
at least give me a chance
to tell the man my story first.
459
00:26:39,298 --> 00:26:39,872
Devonne.
460
00:26:57,131 --> 00:26:57,952
It needed doin'.
461
00:26:59,433 --> 00:27:00,629
Somebody just got shot.
462
00:27:05,286 --> 00:27:08,102
What you want I should give the
snitch that clued us to the denali.
463
00:27:08,442 --> 00:27:10,943
I mean we didn't
get Marlo, but still...
464
00:27:11,377 --> 00:27:13,148
No, he kept his end up.
465
00:27:13,264 --> 00:27:13,875
Go it all.
466
00:27:14,309 --> 00:27:16,562
Avon, I need a word, man.
467
00:27:16,691 --> 00:27:18,390
A-ight, get them
things out of here.
468
00:27:21,091 --> 00:27:21,995
Check it out, String.
469
00:27:22,558 --> 00:27:24,892
This shit got a kill range
of like 50 meters.
470
00:27:25,631 --> 00:27:28,517
Slim got this from some soldier
comin' back from wherever.
471
00:27:33,571 --> 00:27:34,990
I spoke to Prop Joe's people.
472
00:27:36,527 --> 00:27:37,935
They think we can work this out.
473
00:27:38,298 --> 00:27:39,049
A sit-down ?
474
00:27:39,295 --> 00:27:41,196
It's the perfect time
for it, man, I mean...
475
00:27:42,158 --> 00:27:43,721
you done represented yourself, man.
476
00:27:43,745 --> 00:27:45,434
Your name ringin' out
now that you done
477
00:27:45,446 --> 00:27:47,052
taken Marlo down
a notch or two, man.
478
00:27:47,053 --> 00:27:48,402
So why not quit while we ahead.
479
00:27:48,953 --> 00:27:50,568
Just let me get this
thing right, man
480
00:27:50,588 --> 00:27:52,689
then, you know, we get
back to business as usual.
481
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:53,966
They gonna cut us out, Avon !
482
00:27:54,138 --> 00:27:56,232
Prop Joe and them niggers,
man, they took a vote.
483
00:27:56,249 --> 00:27:57,176
They gonna cut us out.
484
00:27:57,187 --> 00:27:59,557
We ain't gonna have that dope,
so even if we win, we lose
485
00:27:59,581 --> 00:28:02,688
'cause we ain't gonna have no product
to put on those fucking corners, B.
486
00:28:02,713 --> 00:28:03,546
Avon, look at you.
487
00:28:03,933 --> 00:28:06,660
Fuckin' shooting dope without
a fucking needle right now, man
488
00:28:06,672 --> 00:28:09,486
getting high on a power trip,
playin' fucking soldier.
489
00:28:10,225 --> 00:28:12,513
Yo, you gotta sit back, man,
think about our business.
490
00:28:12,536 --> 00:28:13,580
What the fuck you want ?
491
00:28:20,954 --> 00:28:23,313
That motherfucker, he good.
492
00:28:24,672 --> 00:28:25,388
What happened ?
493
00:28:30,629 --> 00:28:33,774
You know, Avon, you gotta think about
why we got in this game for, man.
494
00:28:35,087 --> 00:28:35,861
Was it the rep ?
495
00:28:37,070 --> 00:28:38,520
Was it so our names could ring out
496
00:28:38,544 --> 00:28:40,499
on some fucking ghetto
street corners, man ?
497
00:28:40,526 --> 00:28:43,117
Naw, man, there's games
beyond the fucking game.
498
00:28:44,743 --> 00:28:47,676
Avon, look, you and me,
we brothers, B.
499
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,238
We ain't think we make it
this fucking far, but fuck
500
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:51,410
if we ain't standing here
501
00:28:51,411 --> 00:28:53,318
right now, with the
whole world at our feet.
502
00:28:54,239 --> 00:28:56,355
The whole world, man,
not these fucking corners.
503
00:28:56,942 --> 00:28:57,950
The whole world, B.
504
00:28:59,499 --> 00:29:00,929
You know what Slim just told me ?
505
00:29:03,311 --> 00:29:04,601
Devonne come up dead.
506
00:29:07,706 --> 00:29:09,793
She was shot one in the
mouth, one in each tit.
507
00:29:13,441 --> 00:29:15,177
You still want to
talk truce, String ?
508
00:29:18,651 --> 00:29:20,984
You right when you say I need
to learn more discipline.
509
00:29:21,513 --> 00:29:22,146
But this...
510
00:29:23,718 --> 00:29:24,832
you could do this better...
511
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:26,780
You're the perfect bait, Lamar.
512
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:28,510
They'll see you as conflicted.
513
00:29:29,107 --> 00:29:30,785
Your homophobia is so visceral.
514
00:29:31,746 --> 00:29:32,544
You see that ?
515
00:29:32,884 --> 00:29:34,702
I ain't even stepped
inside the joint yet
516
00:29:34,726 --> 00:29:36,544
and you callin' me
a cocksucker already.
517
00:30:05,339 --> 00:30:06,384
You in the right place ?
518
00:30:07,956 --> 00:30:09,680
I'm lookin' for someone name Omar.
519
00:30:10,404 --> 00:30:13,113
No last name.
Scar across his face an' shit.
520
00:30:13,594 --> 00:30:14,686
Scarface named Omar.
521
00:30:15,166 --> 00:30:17,441
Sounds different,
but I can't help you.
522
00:30:17,665 --> 00:30:18,310
You drinking ?
523
00:30:25,241 --> 00:30:26,848
Maybe you wait four years.
524
00:30:28,151 --> 00:30:30,273
No, it has to be now.
525
00:30:32,163 --> 00:30:34,579
It's gotta be a three-way
and Tony's gonna go this time.
526
00:30:38,110 --> 00:30:38,720
I'm just...
527
00:30:40,949 --> 00:30:42,903
Tony's my oldest
friend on the council.
528
00:30:44,756 --> 00:30:46,528
Well, couldn't you
go talk to him first ?
529
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,509
Put it on the table ?
530
00:30:49,025 --> 00:30:50,761
You know, may
the best man win...
531
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:52,063
Truth is...
532
00:30:54,368 --> 00:30:56,221
he can't win alone
against Royce, either.
533
00:30:58,484 --> 00:31:00,677
He's got the bumper stickers,
but not much else.
534
00:31:02,085 --> 00:31:03,455
Wants to run on education.
535
00:31:05,026 --> 00:31:05,695
I mean...
536
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:08,650
where do you go with that ?
537
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,577
If I level with Tony and he
gets out, then I can't win.
538
00:31:15,243 --> 00:31:16,533
I need him in the race.
539
00:31:23,923 --> 00:31:24,873
I feel like shit.
540
00:31:26,270 --> 00:31:26,997
I really do.
541
00:31:55,226 --> 00:31:56,458
Don't look like much.
542
00:31:59,427 --> 00:32:01,151
This some weak ass
shit right here.
543
00:32:01,163 --> 00:32:01,702
Hells yeah.
544
00:32:01,714 --> 00:32:04,271
Man, we got lockers,
you got gear.
545
00:32:04,459 --> 00:32:05,656
It's all peelin' and shit.
546
00:32:06,112 --> 00:32:06,746
Go long.
547
00:32:08,768 --> 00:32:09,602
Pass it here.
548
00:32:14,551 --> 00:32:16,181
You gettin' me all dirty and shit.
549
00:32:16,369 --> 00:32:17,632
What's wrong with you ?
550
00:32:17,668 --> 00:32:19,204
Fuck you, bitch.
551
00:32:20,308 --> 00:32:23,105
We clocked the meet with Tweety Bird,
stayed on him overnight,
552
00:32:23,128 --> 00:32:26,348
tracked him to a possible stash house
and then home to nest in Woodlawn.
553
00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:27,856
Got photos, his tags...
554
00:32:30,755 --> 00:32:31,471
What happened ?
555
00:32:31,752 --> 00:32:33,137
They ditched their phones.
556
00:32:33,442 --> 00:32:37,043
The D.N.R.S and the wire all
died around three o'clock.
557
00:32:37,406 --> 00:32:39,623
We were on line just shy 30 hours.
558
00:32:41,898 --> 00:32:44,444
I thought we had them on their
burners for a couple of weeks.
559
00:32:44,467 --> 00:32:46,978
Not anymore, it's a week at best.
560
00:32:47,387 --> 00:32:51,048
We just spent $9,000 and
change for 18 intercepts.
561
00:32:51,834 --> 00:32:53,067
Five of them non-pertinent.
562
00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:57,161
That's close to $700 per drug call.
563
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:59,084
Until we see which way this goes
564
00:32:59,109 --> 00:33:01,278
shouldn't we get back
on Bernard and his girl ?
565
00:33:01,325 --> 00:33:03,284
I mean, get a line on
the new phones at least.
566
00:33:03,355 --> 00:33:06,493
But that'll only give us
what we just had: 30 hours.
567
00:33:08,969 --> 00:33:10,927
Anyway to get ourselves
ahead of the curve ?
568
00:33:12,382 --> 00:33:15,326
If there were some way
to pre-wiretap the burners...
569
00:33:15,417 --> 00:33:16,062
What then ?
570
00:33:16,812 --> 00:33:18,572
Stick 'em on the rack
at Baba whatever's
571
00:33:18,607 --> 00:33:20,437
and wait for Bernard
to show up that day ?
572
00:33:20,461 --> 00:33:22,009
The problem is the wireless people.
573
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,452
They claim it takes
a minimum of four days
574
00:33:24,487 --> 00:33:26,551
to process a court order
and that's only after
575
00:33:26,552 --> 00:33:28,698
I had my office threatened
to go public on them.
576
00:33:28,921 --> 00:33:30,938
Four days to hit
a couple of keystrokes.
577
00:33:30,985 --> 00:33:31,631
Bullshit.
578
00:33:33,507 --> 00:33:34,558
What if...
579
00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:38,605
no way.
580
00:33:39,344 --> 00:33:40,551
I know what you're thinking.
581
00:33:40,563 --> 00:33:42,404
I just thought the
same fucking thing.
582
00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:46,623
Alright, look, man.
583
00:33:46,634 --> 00:33:48,358
You wanna take your
left foot out, man.
584
00:33:49,649 --> 00:33:51,642
Hey, unc's playin'
wit my man's feet.
585
00:33:51,771 --> 00:33:53,120
Yeah, he smellin' up my ass, too.
586
00:33:53,435 --> 00:33:54,924
Stop with the damn clownin', man.
587
00:33:56,073 --> 00:33:58,783
How you gonna learn somethin'
actin' like a damn fool ?
588
00:34:00,167 --> 00:34:02,830
Ain't no big mystery why
your face got tattooed.
589
00:34:02,853 --> 00:34:04,902
Shit, that man can't
talk to you like that.
590
00:34:04,937 --> 00:34:07,107
I seen his ragged ass up
the spot, copin' vials.
591
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:09,007
Yeah, probably pimps his ass, too.
592
00:34:09,793 --> 00:34:10,966
Listen, motherfucker.
593
00:34:10,978 --> 00:34:12,573
Yeah, bitch, touch me.
594
00:34:13,277 --> 00:34:14,861
Touch a juvenile, see what happen.
595
00:34:16,632 --> 00:34:17,453
Let's bounce.
596
00:34:18,298 --> 00:34:18,977
Bitch ass.
597
00:34:19,682 --> 00:34:20,315
Faggot.
598
00:34:22,251 --> 00:34:23,014
Chump ass.
599
00:34:32,564 --> 00:34:33,384
Lester.
600
00:34:39,892 --> 00:34:41,335
First time I seen him smoking.
601
00:34:42,238 --> 00:34:43,036
Tough habit.
602
00:34:44,092 --> 00:34:46,050
And pacing like a motherfuck, too.
603
00:34:47,348 --> 00:34:49,401
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.
604
00:35:39,574 --> 00:35:42,293
Bay Wireless Connect 411.
What city and state ?
605
00:35:42,398 --> 00:35:43,336
Baltimore, Maryland.
606
00:35:46,094 --> 00:35:47,490
How may I help you ?
607
00:35:47,513 --> 00:35:48,556
Baltimore police.
608
00:35:50,377 --> 00:35:51,585
Any particular department ?
609
00:35:52,161 --> 00:35:53,568
Western District police.
610
00:35:55,422 --> 00:35:56,630
Is this mergency ?
611
00:35:58,307 --> 00:35:59,268
Non-emergency.
612
00:36:00,465 --> 00:36:02,987
Man, they just did you
with the bum rush.
613
00:36:03,608 --> 00:36:04,723
That's what they do.
614
00:36:05,579 --> 00:36:08,055
They past expert at pluckin' nerves.
615
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:11,784
You just gotta remember,
they barely house broke.
616
00:36:11,843 --> 00:36:13,855
I'm tellin' you, man,
you wouldn't believe it.
617
00:36:13,949 --> 00:36:16,459
They was all wild and shit.
Wouldn't listen.
618
00:36:17,128 --> 00:36:19,075
Andre, I want you to crowd him.
619
00:36:19,238 --> 00:36:20,283
Yes, sir, crowd him.
620
00:36:20,365 --> 00:36:20,999
Alright.
621
00:36:29,699 --> 00:36:30,356
Time !
622
00:36:33,009 --> 00:36:35,437
You gotta set your
mind to stick with it.
623
00:36:37,747 --> 00:36:41,137
When those two stumbled in here,
they was wilder than wild.
624
00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:42,510
Now they comin' everyday.
625
00:36:43,237 --> 00:36:44,794
Yes, sir, no, sir.
626
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,000
Still pretty rough
627
00:36:47,011 --> 00:36:49,404
but you know with the right
breaks, they gonna make it.
628
00:36:49,487 --> 00:36:50,085
How ?
629
00:36:50,577 --> 00:36:53,662
Try as they might,
I don't let 'em fail.
630
00:36:55,215 --> 00:36:57,550
You do that, it messes
with their mind.
631
00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:01,174
Pretty soon, they run out
of their little bag of tricks.
632
00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:06,090
What you think of that ?
633
00:37:10,008 --> 00:37:10,735
Pretty weak.
634
00:37:11,216 --> 00:37:11,862
Ain't weak.
635
00:37:13,117 --> 00:37:14,359
That's the startin' point...
636
00:37:21,544 --> 00:37:23,772
Naw, naw, I can't
put a name on him
637
00:37:24,418 --> 00:37:25,356
but I seen him 'round.
638
00:37:25,505 --> 00:37:26,854
He's off a west side.
639
00:37:27,312 --> 00:37:30,092
He ain't no drug dealer,
less he doin' it on the Q.T.
640
00:37:31,171 --> 00:37:32,602
You can't go at him, game him ?
641
00:37:33,177 --> 00:37:35,511
I don't know, Kima,
I mean, it be pressin'.
642
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:37,347
What about her ?
643
00:37:37,687 --> 00:37:38,237
Squeak.
644
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,055
Offa Lanvale.
645
00:37:41,710 --> 00:37:44,232
Yeah, she used to boost
for Turtle Wells', old mob.
646
00:37:44,748 --> 00:37:46,238
She lost a little bit of weight too.
647
00:37:46,249 --> 00:37:48,208
I mean, lookin' a lot
better than I remember
648
00:37:48,395 --> 00:37:50,073
and I remember a lot
about that girl.
649
00:37:51,036 --> 00:37:53,850
Damn, Bubs, is there anybody
westside you don't know ?
650
00:37:54,648 --> 00:37:56,056
Jus' citizens an' shit.
651
00:37:59,246 --> 00:38:00,675
My C.I. knows the girl.
652
00:38:00,990 --> 00:38:01,812
He can work her ?
653
00:38:01,999 --> 00:38:02,973
If it's smooth, yeah.
654
00:38:03,771 --> 00:38:04,311
Check this.
655
00:38:09,892 --> 00:38:11,014
That's Western District ?
656
00:38:11,652 --> 00:38:13,060
Stringer's calling the Western ?
657
00:38:13,271 --> 00:38:14,667
Maybe he's surrendering.
658
00:38:15,453 --> 00:38:18,270
After all the work we've done,
I'd never forgive the sonofabitch.
659
00:38:22,759 --> 00:38:24,330
Go down. Go down and out.
660
00:38:29,667 --> 00:38:30,313
Sweet !
661
00:38:30,583 --> 00:38:31,474
I got hands.
662
00:38:38,347 --> 00:38:40,190
What's up ?
My knuckleheads didn't post ?
663
00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:42,453
They did, but they left.
664
00:38:45,186 --> 00:38:45,878
Over here.
665
00:38:51,121 --> 00:38:52,787
You lookin' for
a discount, old man ?
666
00:38:53,463 --> 00:38:54,928
Naw, but I'm lookin' for you.
667
00:38:55,538 --> 00:38:56,912
Why somethin' come up missin' ?
668
00:38:57,415 --> 00:38:59,163
Came past to apologize.
669
00:38:59,632 --> 00:39:01,310
I'm new at this coachin' thin'.
670
00:39:01,321 --> 00:39:03,421
An' I got us off on the wrong foot.
671
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:07,723
I ain't gonna leave it between us,
you thinkin' I gave up on y'all.
672
00:39:08,323 --> 00:39:11,537
Motherfucker's memory weak as shit.
We the ones bailed out on him.
673
00:39:14,329 --> 00:39:16,238
Anyway, I'm here now.
674
00:39:21,996 --> 00:39:22,919
Let me understand:
675
00:39:22,954 --> 00:39:25,581
You want to sell drug traffickers
a series of cell phones
676
00:39:25,582 --> 00:39:27,893
that are pre-approved
for telephonic intercepts.
677
00:39:28,644 --> 00:39:29,828
And you want me
678
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:33,384
to sign off on court-ordered taps
on a bunch of phones that
679
00:39:33,403 --> 00:39:34,928
at the time I am signing the order
680
00:39:34,986 --> 00:39:38,282
have not been used for any
illegal activity whatsoever.
681
00:39:38,822 --> 00:39:40,754
If you're looking for
precedents, your honor ?
682
00:39:40,777 --> 00:39:41,540
There aren't any.
683
00:39:41,563 --> 00:39:44,320
It's circumstantial P.C. at best.
684
00:39:49,645 --> 00:39:50,866
What the hell, let's do it.
685
00:39:51,698 --> 00:39:55,287
Let the court of appeals sort it
out, if it even gets that far.
686
00:40:05,326 --> 00:40:06,322
Quite the legal mind.
687
00:40:33,111 --> 00:40:33,933
Buy you a drink ?
688
00:40:34,707 --> 00:40:36,349
Why the fuck
you comin' up behind me ?
689
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:37,557
Sorry.
690
00:40:57,084 --> 00:40:57,763
Bushy Top.
691
00:40:58,257 --> 00:41:00,602
You called, I didn't know if
I'd find you here so late.
692
00:41:00,614 --> 00:41:02,432
Just getting ready
for COMSTAT tomorrow.
693
00:41:02,655 --> 00:41:03,675
So what's up, Major ?
694
00:41:08,221 --> 00:41:09,770
Your unit is still working...
695
00:41:10,626 --> 00:41:11,834
a drug war, right ?
696
00:41:11,869 --> 00:41:12,913
Working it hard.
697
00:41:13,969 --> 00:41:17,258
Does the name Avon Barksdale
do anythin' for you ?
698
00:41:18,224 --> 00:41:19,068
He's a player ?
699
00:41:19,184 --> 00:41:20,111
He's the main guy.
700
00:41:20,523 --> 00:41:22,892
We thought he was down,
but he popped up in september.
701
00:41:23,385 --> 00:41:25,386
You add him to the equation,
it goes a long way
702
00:41:25,411 --> 00:41:26,641
to explaining the violence.
703
00:41:28,109 --> 00:41:30,032
So it wouldn't be
a stretch if he got shot ?
704
00:41:30,219 --> 00:41:31,216
You heard he got shot ?
705
00:41:32,471 --> 00:41:34,580
You know when or where ?
I could run it out quick.
706
00:41:34,614 --> 00:41:36,057
Naw, ain't gonna make no difference
707
00:41:36,070 --> 00:41:38,556
he didn't post up at an
emergency room from what I hear.
708
00:41:41,582 --> 00:41:44,804
Major, I'm gonna be straight with you.
We're runnin' wires into his people
709
00:41:45,684 --> 00:41:47,209
but we're barely
above the street.
710
00:41:47,232 --> 00:41:49,227
So far, we haven't even
put an eyeball on him.
711
00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:56,430
Suppose to be layin' his head there.
712
00:41:57,638 --> 00:42:00,348
I need you to check that out,
get back to me as soon as you can.
713
00:42:00,372 --> 00:42:01,426
You got a C.I., huh ?
714
00:42:01,627 --> 00:42:03,748
You wanna see if your
man's creds are bonafide.
715
00:42:04,967 --> 00:42:06,435
Don't try to play me, Bushy Top.
716
00:42:07,103 --> 00:42:08,932
I didn't say male,
I didn't say female.
717
00:42:10,058 --> 00:42:10,516
Alright.
718
00:42:11,197 --> 00:42:12,991
I'll get a surveillance
goin' right away.
719
00:42:13,062 --> 00:42:15,755
According to my source,
Barksdale's name is on the paperwork.
720
00:42:15,860 --> 00:42:16,563
No shit.
721
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,350
You get the confirmation on
that, call me back on my cell.
722
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:26,147
Good luck tomorrow.
723
00:42:26,323 --> 00:42:26,957
Yeah, right.
724
00:42:57,213 --> 00:42:57,892
Sham.
725
00:43:00,662 --> 00:43:01,447
Shamrock.
726
00:43:03,499 --> 00:43:05,165
Run these over to Levy for me.
727
00:43:05,447 --> 00:43:06,773
Tell him I want a read on it.
728
00:43:07,370 --> 00:43:08,180
A read ?
729
00:43:08,990 --> 00:43:09,787
Fresh eyes.
730
00:43:10,878 --> 00:43:12,309
Tell him I'll call him tomorrow.
731
00:43:12,814 --> 00:43:13,306
A-ight.
732
00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:21,899
Come on, Mr. Bodyguard.
733
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:54,095
And so, we're gonna
come at her like that.
734
00:43:54,553 --> 00:43:56,559
So you gonna give me
these phones to sell ?
735
00:43:57,157 --> 00:43:58,716
The money comes back, Bubs.
736
00:43:59,010 --> 00:43:59,585
All of it ?
737
00:44:04,857 --> 00:44:06,746
- Is that Beadie Russell ?
- Looks like.
738
00:44:09,713 --> 00:44:11,708
Whoa, yo, you can't
turn from this lane.
739
00:44:17,583 --> 00:44:18,932
Sweet Beatrice Russ...
740
00:44:23,324 --> 00:44:24,521
I was just gonna say, "hey."
741
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:31,664
North and Pulaski.
742
00:44:32,568 --> 00:44:35,761
The photo was taken at four P.M.,
prime time for street-level dealing.
743
00:44:38,072 --> 00:44:39,749
That is Riggs and Calhoun.
744
00:44:41,145 --> 00:44:42,248
Mount and Fayette.
745
00:44:43,116 --> 00:44:44,088
Edmondson and Brice.
746
00:44:44,711 --> 00:44:46,073
It's your old foot post, Deputy.
747
00:44:47,058 --> 00:44:48,418
I know where it is, Major...
748
00:44:49,521 --> 00:44:52,442
what I don't know and
very much want to know is
749
00:44:52,852 --> 00:44:54,741
where is the west
Baltimore drug trade ?
750
00:44:55,421 --> 00:44:59,323
I hope, major, these are not staged
photographs you're showing us.
751
00:44:59,347 --> 00:45:00,802
No, sir, they are not.
752
00:45:01,985 --> 00:45:04,109
No, Deputy, I found another approach.
753
00:45:04,567 --> 00:45:05,704
I'm all ears, Bunny.
754
00:45:06,667 --> 00:45:07,864
I moved them off the corners.
755
00:45:07,924 --> 00:45:11,219
Goddamnit, don't be coy
with me, Major. I can see that.
756
00:45:11,946 --> 00:45:14,609
What I want to know is how the
fuck you managed to move them
757
00:45:14,844 --> 00:45:16,275
and where the fuck they are now.
758
00:45:18,128 --> 00:45:18,762
Deputy
759
00:45:21,072 --> 00:45:23,184
I don't know quite
how to put this, but we...
760
00:45:24,721 --> 00:45:25,565
I mean, I...
761
00:45:27,383 --> 00:45:29,842
I began by identifying those
areas of my district where
762
00:45:29,843 --> 00:45:31,822
drug trafficking was least harmful
763
00:45:32,071 --> 00:45:35,497
I proceeded to push all street-level
dealing towards those areas.
764
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:37,092
Now at first
765
00:45:37,925 --> 00:45:41,147
dealing with the juveniles
on them corners, had little success.
766
00:45:42,050 --> 00:45:43,869
But ultimately
767
00:45:44,666 --> 00:45:48,081
by rounding up all the mid-level
dealers in my district
768
00:45:48,853 --> 00:45:50,776
and making an offer
they couldn't refuse
769
00:45:50,859 --> 00:45:52,794
- I was able to...
- You made them an offer ?
770
00:45:53,662 --> 00:45:54,260
Yes, sir.
771
00:45:57,674 --> 00:46:02,430
Either they move their people
to one of three designated areas
772
00:46:03,310 --> 00:46:05,949
where drug enforcement was
not a district priority...
773
00:46:07,052 --> 00:46:10,008
or they face the wrath of every
able-bodied soul in my district.
774
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:15,429
Major, I don't understand.
775
00:46:15,970 --> 00:46:17,669
The only time we can
hold a drug corner
776
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:19,559
is when we assign
officers to stand there.
777
00:46:20,298 --> 00:46:23,473
Your slides don't suggest any
concerted deployment on any corners.
778
00:46:24,246 --> 00:46:25,501
How were you able to...
779
00:46:25,525 --> 00:46:28,293
Jesus christ, you nit,
don't you see what he's done.
780
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,652
He's legalized drugs !
781
00:46:31,891 --> 00:46:34,155
Actually, I elected to ignore them.
782
00:46:34,801 --> 00:46:37,440
You lost your fucking mind.
He's lost his fucking mind.
783
00:46:38,672 --> 00:46:42,038
You. In my office. Now !
784
00:46:44,988 --> 00:46:46,149
That's it, gentleman.
785
00:47:12,930 --> 00:47:13,634
She's a go.
786
00:47:14,279 --> 00:47:15,230
Showtime, Bubs.
787
00:47:28,585 --> 00:47:29,758
Oh, shit.
788
00:47:30,908 --> 00:47:31,975
Sister Squeak.
789
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,172
Bottom-end Bubbles.
790
00:47:33,852 --> 00:47:34,813
How you stand, girl ?
791
00:47:35,013 --> 00:47:35,905
Been a long time.
792
00:47:36,501 --> 00:47:37,428
T-shirts ?
793
00:47:37,603 --> 00:47:39,527
What the hell kinda
money is in t-shirts ?
794
00:47:39,843 --> 00:47:41,098
Girl, you just don't know.
795
00:47:41,275 --> 00:47:42,242
But how's your game ?
796
00:47:42,278 --> 00:47:43,426
I heard you was locked up.
797
00:47:43,438 --> 00:47:45,206
Shit, I been on paper for a year.
798
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,459
- I got some things going.
- I can see that.
799
00:47:47,834 --> 00:47:48,701
You look good.
800
00:47:48,726 --> 00:47:49,476
How's he doing ?
801
00:47:49,887 --> 00:47:51,341
He'd talk a cat off a fish cart.
802
00:47:51,658 --> 00:47:53,042
A-ight, Bubs, I gotta get.
803
00:47:53,501 --> 00:47:54,839
Alright, I see you later on.
804
00:47:58,323 --> 00:47:59,214
Yo, Squeak, Squeak.
805
00:47:59,894 --> 00:48:00,774
I 'bout forgot.
806
00:48:01,513 --> 00:48:03,356
I can sell you one
of these, real cheap.
807
00:48:03,366 --> 00:48:04,711
If you got use for the shits...
808
00:48:08,418 --> 00:48:10,025
I'm fuckin' dead.
809
00:48:10,682 --> 00:48:12,207
You mean, we're fuckin' dead.
810
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,802
We're all dead behind this shit.
811
00:48:14,753 --> 00:48:16,008
Jesus christ.
812
00:48:16,946 --> 00:48:19,034
What I did, I did knowingly
and on my own.
813
00:48:20,266 --> 00:48:22,095
My men had nothin' to do with this.
814
00:48:22,458 --> 00:48:24,605
They thought it was part
of some elaborate trap.
815
00:48:25,775 --> 00:48:28,672
So if you need me to fall on
that sword, I'm good with that.
816
00:48:29,587 --> 00:48:30,644
You're good with it ?
817
00:48:31,042 --> 00:48:34,984
Hey, you know I got my vacation time,
my last 30 in a couple months.
818
00:48:35,828 --> 00:48:37,529
So, if you need me
to fall, I'm ready.
819
00:48:39,101 --> 00:48:40,930
But don't let me hear
that you're taking
820
00:48:40,931 --> 00:48:42,668
any punitive action
against my people.
821
00:48:43,406 --> 00:48:44,801
Because I can get on the soapbox
822
00:48:44,802 --> 00:48:47,499
and I can lie as good as
the next man, if I have to.
823
00:48:48,812 --> 00:48:50,466
Are you threatening me ?
824
00:48:52,965 --> 00:48:54,126
I believe I am, sir.
825
00:48:55,767 --> 00:48:56,623
My apologies.
826
00:48:58,406 --> 00:49:01,502
Bunny, you cocksucker, I got
give it to you, a brilliant idea.
827
00:49:01,843 --> 00:49:05,538
Insane and illegal, but stone
fuckin' brilliant nonetheless.
828
00:49:07,424 --> 00:49:08,725
After all my puttin' my foot up
829
00:49:08,726 --> 00:49:11,013
people's asses to decrease
the numbers, he comes in
830
00:49:11,471 --> 00:49:15,612
and in one stroke, gets
a fuckin' 14% decrease.
831
00:49:16,538 --> 00:49:19,683
Fuckin' shame it's gonna
end our careers, but still.
832
00:49:21,818 --> 00:49:24,164
You're all probably tired
of hearin' from me, but...
833
00:49:29,290 --> 00:49:30,228
I brought these.
834
00:49:31,354 --> 00:49:32,175
Letters...
835
00:49:32,961 --> 00:49:36,598
from community associations,
ministers, business people, citizens.
836
00:49:38,392 --> 00:49:39,514
And they're all positive.
837
00:49:40,968 --> 00:49:43,419
They're all happy that the
dealers are off the corners.
838
00:49:44,486 --> 00:49:47,127
You think that's
gonna save our asses ?
839
00:49:48,534 --> 00:49:49,108
Do you ?
840
00:49:50,359 --> 00:49:51,885
No, I guess not, but...
841
00:49:53,491 --> 00:49:55,052
that and my badge is all I got.
842
00:49:55,297 --> 00:49:59,356
I might have your badge,
Major, but not today.
843
00:50:00,048 --> 00:50:03,707
I don't want to draw any attention
to this shit before we're...
844
00:50:04,176 --> 00:50:05,491
ready to speak to it.
845
00:50:06,746 --> 00:50:10,686
So if you have any vacation
time, you're taking it now.
846
00:50:11,506 --> 00:50:16,021
Do not report for
a shift until notified.
847
00:50:27,272 --> 00:50:28,011
Oh...
848
00:50:30,028 --> 00:50:31,190
one more thing, sir.
849
00:50:32,373 --> 00:50:34,832
A "Sun" reporter is
aware of my deployment.
850
00:50:36,144 --> 00:50:37,939
I told him an investigation
was pending
851
00:50:38,925 --> 00:50:40,344
he promised to delay the article.
852
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:41,904
How long ?
853
00:50:42,901 --> 00:50:45,306
About a week, tops.
854
00:50:51,425 --> 00:50:54,267
I was with Superstroke on the
pool circuit in the early days.
855
00:50:54,466 --> 00:50:56,625
But mostly pickpocketin'
and short cons.
856
00:50:57,364 --> 00:51:00,871
I did the long distance access card
heist before cell phones got popular.
857
00:51:01,399 --> 00:51:02,267
You crept numbers ?
858
00:51:03,358 --> 00:51:05,438
Yeah, I favored the airports, yeah.
859
00:51:05,790 --> 00:51:07,004
Can you still read numbers ?
860
00:51:07,420 --> 00:51:08,312
What's up with this ?
861
00:51:08,334 --> 00:51:10,411
Your man thinkin' I brought
him bad merchandise ?
862
00:51:10,423 --> 00:51:12,839
'Cause if that what he think,
we can beat feet right now.
863
00:51:12,848 --> 00:51:15,394
Damn, Bernard, why you
actin' all C.I.A. and shit ?
864
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,883
We tryin' to make money here.
865
00:51:16,953 --> 00:51:18,642
If you had to answer
to the people I do
866
00:51:18,666 --> 00:51:20,670
your ass would be damn
more sight cautious, too.
867
00:51:20,683 --> 00:51:21,586
That's all I'm sayin'.
868
00:51:21,610 --> 00:51:22,501
I appreciate caution.
869
00:51:23,130 --> 00:51:24,642
'Cause I'm hangin' out here too.
870
00:51:26,038 --> 00:51:26,753
Give it a go.
871
00:51:27,481 --> 00:51:28,255
Use a cell phone.
872
00:51:39,244 --> 00:51:41,378
Marlene, you send
that copy off to Paris ?
873
00:51:42,505 --> 00:51:43,396
Thank you, darling.
874
00:51:44,522 --> 00:51:46,040
That will work, I'm at the airport.
875
00:51:46,531 --> 00:51:47,506
The shuttle, yes...
876
00:52:06,486 --> 00:52:15,084
three, one, oh, double four, eight,
sixteen, ninety-one, double seven
877
00:52:15,448 --> 00:52:20,477
eight, three, one, two.
Now that last number might be a seven.
878
00:52:20,512 --> 00:52:23,093
I'm not too sure with
these small keypads and all.
879
00:52:23,691 --> 00:52:24,735
We can do business.
880
00:52:28,752 --> 00:52:29,315
That's it.
881
00:52:30,054 --> 00:52:32,388
One two, one two, one two.
882
00:52:33,549 --> 00:52:34,557
One two, that's it.
883
00:52:35,297 --> 00:52:36,541
One two, there you go.
884
00:52:37,591 --> 00:52:39,879
Alright, there it is.
Now you gettin' it.
885
00:52:40,477 --> 00:52:41,603
Keep that left hand up.
886
00:52:45,252 --> 00:52:45,838
Hey.
887
00:52:46,530 --> 00:52:46,977
Hey.
888
00:52:48,685 --> 00:52:49,331
Alright.
889
00:52:49,554 --> 00:52:50,797
Watch your balance now.
890
00:52:50,961 --> 00:52:51,829
Don't lean forward.
891
00:52:51,830 --> 00:52:54,050
Don't lean too much, don't
lean too forward, alright ?
892
00:52:54,071 --> 00:52:56,463
Alright, let's go. Don't lean
too forward, that's right.
893
00:52:56,744 --> 00:52:57,859
One two, pivot...
894
00:52:58,128 --> 00:52:58,934
You're kidding.
895
00:52:59,955 --> 00:53:01,773
Tell me he's kidding.
896
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,599
You're kidding, right ?
897
00:53:05,773 --> 00:53:08,494
He did it without our knowledge.
898
00:53:08,635 --> 00:53:09,858
Without your knowledge.
899
00:53:10,515 --> 00:53:12,685
Well, that's worse.
You're the Commissioner...
900
00:53:13,201 --> 00:53:14,526
Was the Commissioner.
901
00:53:15,593 --> 00:53:18,538
You think the buck's gonna stop
in this office, you're wrong.
902
00:53:18,913 --> 00:53:23,919
If I might, these are letters
from people in his district.
903
00:53:24,764 --> 00:53:27,462
Ministers, business
people, voters...
904
00:53:28,270 --> 00:53:29,490
all glowing reports.
905
00:53:30,241 --> 00:53:34,440
And there's the 14% reduction
in crime, in the Western.
906
00:53:35,402 --> 00:53:37,220
That's not an anomaly.
907
00:53:38,030 --> 00:53:39,261
It's hard data.
908
00:53:40,505 --> 00:53:42,926
Now, we can clean it up,
make it go away.
909
00:53:43,853 --> 00:53:45,589
The press might already
have wind of it
910
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,495
but we can explain that as
some sort of a new initiative.
911
00:53:50,351 --> 00:53:52,111
Trap high-end drug dealers...
912
00:53:53,651 --> 00:53:54,461
14% ?
913
00:53:55,669 --> 00:53:59,809
If we handle this right, we
might all get out from underneath.
914
00:54:00,419 --> 00:54:01,662
No mud on anybody.
915
00:54:04,644 --> 00:54:06,134
No, no.
916
00:54:07,883 --> 00:54:10,264
I trusted you, Erv, I really did.
917
00:54:10,756 --> 00:54:11,882
You let me down.
918
00:54:12,715 --> 00:54:14,841
Now, this thing goes wrong,
no tellin' the damage.
919
00:54:14,864 --> 00:54:16,353
On this, you walk point.
920
00:54:16,553 --> 00:54:19,157
That's the way things work, Erv.
You know it as well as I do.
921
00:54:26,263 --> 00:54:27,037
Thank you, Ervin.
922
00:54:28,808 --> 00:54:30,849
I'll be over shortly
to see the detailed plan
923
00:54:30,871 --> 00:54:33,019
on how this shit gets
cleaned up immediately.
924
00:54:50,612 --> 00:54:53,579
If you could call this shit
something other than what it is...
925
00:54:53,732 --> 00:54:54,916
Don't even think it.
926
00:55:01,244 --> 00:55:02,464
Way it works is this:
927
00:55:02,781 --> 00:55:06,124
If you don't re-up the minutes
on your cell phone before 60 days
928
00:55:06,312 --> 00:55:08,361
the wireless company
recycles the phone number.
929
00:55:08,408 --> 00:55:09,734
And that's where I get them.
930
00:55:10,215 --> 00:55:13,053
I put the word out on the street
that I'm buying tossed-off burners.
931
00:55:13,065 --> 00:55:14,308
Payin' two dollars a pop.
932
00:55:14,566 --> 00:55:16,290
Street people bring me hundreds.
933
00:55:16,666 --> 00:55:19,150
I bring 'em in here to my niece
she jiggles the computer
934
00:55:19,162 --> 00:55:22,164
juices them up another 200
minutes on a bogus account.
935
00:55:22,740 --> 00:55:27,008
And that automatically extends the
life of the phone for another 60 days.
936
00:55:27,571 --> 00:55:29,957
She charges me 20
on each phone on her end.
937
00:55:30,298 --> 00:55:32,607
I double it or more
on the street to make mine.
938
00:55:33,335 --> 00:55:34,403
So what you sayin' ?
939
00:55:35,481 --> 00:55:37,554
Baby, a standard
Trac phone, with two
940
00:55:37,566 --> 00:55:40,405
maybe 400 minutes on it
gonna run you 150, 200, easy.
941
00:55:41,260 --> 00:55:45,131
I charge you an even 100,
you clear 50 on each phone.
942
00:55:45,237 --> 00:55:47,315
That's if'in you can back
them up with receipts.
943
00:55:47,421 --> 00:55:49,955
I gotta show receipts lookin'
like they from different places
944
00:55:49,978 --> 00:55:50,705
or I can't play.
945
00:55:52,594 --> 00:55:54,119
Can we accommodate the good man ?
946
00:55:54,705 --> 00:55:56,769
Damn, Calvin, you know
I got the bingo tonight.
947
00:56:09,631 --> 00:56:11,978
Look, friend, I ain't sure
you want to be around here.
948
00:56:12,153 --> 00:56:14,382
And I'm damn sure we're
gettin' tired of havin' you.
949
00:56:14,406 --> 00:56:15,298
That plain enough ?
950
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:16,305
You should know by now
951
00:56:16,329 --> 00:56:18,710
I don't wanna be 'round no
bunch of cocksucking faggots.
952
00:56:19,028 --> 00:56:21,455
But I ain't gonna stop coming
round till I run up on Omar.
953
00:56:21,561 --> 00:56:23,122
You might want to get the word out.
954
00:56:23,191 --> 00:56:25,338
For the last time,
I don't know him.
955
00:56:25,572 --> 00:56:27,040
Then I'm back tomorrow.
956
00:56:51,997 --> 00:56:52,993
Maybe I can help you ?
957
00:56:58,600 --> 00:56:59,949
I don't doubt it for a minute.
