"Can you tell me what happened?"
The Wire
"Terry, can you talk about it?"
The Wire
"We had a month left on the tour,"
The Wire
"working an S-and-A mission outside Fallujah."
The Wire
"I was assistant team leader."
The Wire
"Our M-niner-niner-eights were retrofitted with up-armor kits."
The Wire
"A humvee, sorry."
The Wire
"They're big on nomenclature."
The Wire
"Anyway we finished our sweep, headed back in, right?"
The Wire
"Our lead vehicle was hit with an elevated I.E.D."
The Wire
"Flipped the humvee like a matchbox car."
The Wire
"Driver lost both his hands."
The Wire
"Blood shooting out all over. He's fuckin' laughin'."
The Wire
"Saying over and over, "Look, Ma, no hands.""
The Wire
"'Cause he's OK, you know? I mean, he's better than me."
The Wire
"Got himself a couple of prosthetic mitts, eighty thousand apiece."
The Wire
"I'm not looking to shit on another guy's copy,"
The Wire
"I just wanted you to know this was out there."
The Wire
"I'm at a community meeting in Bel Air-Edison"
The Wire
"She said the kids never saw a dime."
The Wire
"I mean, I'm hoping this is all bullshit."
The Wire
"- Hey, Scott. How's it coming? - Pretty good. You seen the art?"
The Wire
"got a complaint about a story you wrote a couple weeks ago."
The Wire
"The woman who died from an allergic reaction to seafood."
The Wire
"- Remember? - What about it?"
The Wire
"Lady knows the dead woman sister says our story made a lot of money for those kids."
The Wire
"She says the sister has a history of fraud, convictions on it."
The Wire
"She says all the money went to Atlantic City casinos"
The Wire
"see if we don't get took on this, huh?"
The Wire
"- This is kidnapping. - Actually, I'm not sure."
The Wire
"I asked him if he wanted $100 to go someplace for dinner and talk"
The Wire
"- and he walked to my car. - You give him the hundred?"
The Wire
"Stuffed it in his jacket."
The Wire
"He's fine, Lester. He's great."
The Wire
"- Think he'll find his way back home? - Eventually."
The Wire
"By then, we'll be done with Marlo, we'll have shut this thing down."
The Wire
"As far as what happened to this guy..."
The Wire
"- Does he know we're cops? - No."
The Wire
"Even if he figures it out, who's gonna believe him? He's nuts."
The Wire
"So..."
The Wire
"I'll scratch his name off the scrip and leave him with this..."
The Wire
"The one that was too rigored. Donald somebody or other."
The Wire
"It had him in a Cleveland, Ohio shelter."
The Wire
"McNulty, you are deserving of serious psychological study."
The Wire
"You need PC to intercept cellphone photos."
The Wire
"Well here it is, right here."
The Wire
"We send photos of this guy"
The Wire
"all ribboned up from a dry cellphone"
The Wire
"to that goofy reporter, along with a message bitching about his stories."
The Wire
"you ain't gonna find no more bodies. Only photos of the victims..."
The Wire
"Before they disappear."
The Wire
"Look at this poor sucker. I don't believe we're gonna do this."
The Wire
"He disappears, the city goes batshit. You get your photo intercepts,"
The Wire
"and when we need to run down one of Marlo's re-ups,"
The Wire
"you got all the manpower you need."
The Wire
"- And Marlo falls. - Falls hard."
The Wire
"Don't fucking tell me you mislabeled this, too."
The Wire
"I want comparisons between known suspects"
The Wire
"and the DNA from this scene."
The Wire
"As soon as we work through all the trace from the homeless killings."
The Wire
"That's the priority, Bunk."
The Wire
"- The homeless killings. - Everything is backed up behind that, sorry."
The Wire
"Your boy McNulty has everyone's attention right now."
The Wire
"So it's Larry, huh?"
The Wire
"OK, Larry. You're with good people here. It's all gonna be great."
The Wire
"You're gonna like this place. It's warm, they got nice beds."
The Wire
"Come on, Larry."
The Wire
"It's gonna be fine. I promise."
The Wire
"You feel up for trying Clay yourself?"
The Wire
"I mean, it's been a while since you tried a criminal case personally."
The Wire
"It sends a statement, I think."
The Wire
"out of respect for the distracted nature of a Baltimore jury."
The Wire
"First, there's something else I need to bring up."
The Wire
"- Old grand jury stuff? - Sealed indictments."
The Wire
"Sealed transcripts. Dozens of them."
The Wire
"Pulled from the desk of a shot-to-death drug dealer in east Baltimore."
The Wire
"We have a leak."
The Wire
"And he showed up, outside where I work."
The Wire
"He was confused. Lost I think. So I brought him here."
The Wire
"Donald, where you from?"
The Wire
"Tell the lady, Donald."
The Wire
"But he told me he came from Cleveland."
The Wire
"This does say Cleveland."
The Wire
"It's OK. Come on."
The Wire
"- We're good to go? - It's great, Gus."
The Wire
"It sings."
The Wire
"- Hey, Scotty boy. - Hey."
The Wire
"Hey. Great piece. I mean this one really feels like the real deal."
The Wire
"- It's great work. - Thanks."
The Wire
"What I like most about it is that you didn't overwrite it."
The Wire
"Just tight, declarative sentences. You really let this ex-marine tell his story."
The Wire
"- Thanks, Gus. - Hey, Mr. Slot man,"
The Wire
"Oh, Scott. Did you get a chance to drop a couple calls on that complaint?"
The Wire
"It's bullshit. I talked to people in the neighborhood."
The Wire
"Sister's good people, but there's another woman up there, unrelated,"
The Wire
"keeps getting arrested for kiting checks and stuff."
The Wire
"She uses the sister's name every time she gets locked up."
The Wire
"She's done it like three or four times now. Yeah, it's crazy."
The Wire
"But sister's clean. Everyone says so."
The Wire
"No, we've got it. But thanks for bringing him in."
The Wire
"We could use some more manpower, a couple of surveillance teams"
The Wire
"Thank you for caring enough about our most vulnerable citizens"
The Wire
"- Look I'm not saying that we can't, but... - But what?"
The Wire
"A good informant tells me so."
The Wire
"but before I can get to that, you came to me with this."
The Wire
"How we find out about the blind man?"
The Wire
"Well, you and Lester started some shit here, son."
