"Well, I don't need any additional canvassing."
The Wire
"What? You wanna know why? I'll tell you why."
The Wire
"Because I already know the name of the missing smokehound."
The Wire
"Yeah, his name, his DOB, and his last known address at a city shelter."
The Wire
"Lawrence Butler, 3/10/1951,"
The Wire
"How? Police work."
The Wire
"When I have more leads, Sergeant,"
The Wire
"But until then, will you back off, Jay?"
The Wire
"Trouble with making this thing into a redball?"
The Wire
"People start to treat it like a fucking redball."
The Wire
"Jesus!"
The Wire
"Get me out of this, Lester, as fast as you can."
The Wire
"Senator!"
The Wire
"This here?"
The Wire
"Prometheus Bound, an ancient play,"
The Wire
"one of the oldest we have, about a simple man"
The Wire
"for the terrible crime of trying to bring light to the common people."
The Wire
"In the words of Aeschylus, "No good deed goes unpunished.""
The Wire
"I cannot tell you how much consolation I find in these slim pages."
The Wire
"- One more question, Senator. - Ladies and gentlemen,"
The Wire
"I do believe I have my day in court, and I will see you inside."
The Wire
"What else?"
The Wire
"Sending a tape of the call down to Quantico, along with the case file."
The Wire
"They'll review, then meet with us."
The Wire
"You gotta hit every downtown shelter or mission there is."
The Wire
"- You want bodies for that? - I'm taking Christeson."
The Wire
"- The rookie? - Yeah, he'll ask the extra question."
The Wire
"He's hungry. He's... If I need more bodies, I'll let you know."
The Wire
"Heard what you did with Christeson,"
The Wire
"letting him go on his own case, while you carry him and two surveillance teams."
The Wire
"Your shit is right, Jimmy."
The Wire
"- Thanks. - So I got another one for ya."
The Wire
"You remember the rape-murder I had? Bolton Hill job?"
The Wire
"and if she gets locked up, his kids go to family services,"
The Wire
"so he's desperate to deal."
The Wire
"The problem is, he's in the New York system -"
The Wire
"Jimmy, he strangled a 20-year-old, stuffed her under her bed."
The Wire
"OK, give my CC to motor pool."
The Wire
"Nah, he's on the street right now. Call back in a couple hours."
The Wire
"On second thought, gonna have Norris with me on that canvass today, boss."
The Wire
"And with every single transaction you've described, Detective,"
The Wire
"the money was routed through the senator's personal account"
The Wire
"- and then withdrawn as cash. - Yes, sir."
The Wire
"- Often in the same amounts? - Often the exact amounts,"
The Wire
"sometimes slightly smaller amounts, but always within a day of the initial deposit."
The Wire
"Thank you, Detective Freamon."
The Wire
"Your honor, no further questions."
The Wire
"Cross-examination, Mr. Murphy."
The Wire
"No questions, your honor."
The Wire
"- You got a number? - What?"
The Wire
"- It's mac an' cheese today. - No, I'm a newspaper reporter."
The Wire
"Yeah, came down here just to hang out, and get with some homeless people."
The Wire
"How come whenever y'all be wanting homeless, y'all come to the soup kitchens?"
The Wire
"- You don't serve homeless? - Serve everybody."
The Wire
"Homeless, poor folks, workin' people tryin' to make it to a paycheck."
The Wire
"Hey, you're not..."
The Wire
"Homeless? No, I'm down in my sister's basement,"
The Wire
"over at Edmondson Village."
The Wire
"What you need the homeless to say?"
The Wire
"But mostly, I'm just lookin' for a story about what it's like for them."
The Wire
"What life is like."
The Wire
"I can't imagine."
The Wire
"You gonna write a story about what life's like, huh?"
The Wire
"Sticking for the moment with the West Baltimore Hoops charity,"
The Wire
"what were your basic responsibilities there?"
The Wire
"I can't rightly say."
The Wire
"Yet you drew $40,000 a year as the executive director."
The Wire
"No. All that money went straight back to Senator Davis."
The Wire
"I got paid through the district office for drivin' him."
The Wire
"That money I kept. An' whenever I would go out to snatch some money"
The Wire
"...he'd sometimes kick me back a few. - Move to strike all of that."
The Wire
"This case is limited to the charges stemming from"
The Wire
"the operation of Senator Davis's nonprofit charities."
The Wire
"Other matters are not relevant."
The Wire
"Here it is."
The Wire
"What the hell is that? A meet at 5:50?"
The Wire
"I'm gonna go get up on Monk."
The Wire
"You have a criminal history, do you not, Mr. Price?"
The Wire
"And when you last got out of prison six years ago,"
The Wire
"was Senator Davis aware of your criminal record?"
The Wire
"Yes, sir."
The Wire
"And yet he gave you a job,"
The Wire
"but today, is this how you repay him?"
The Wire
"The testimony you gave about returning the money you earned"
The Wire
"at the senator's charities,"
The Wire
"you say you repaid it to the senator in cash, correct?"
The Wire
"So there's no proof that the senator ever received that money."
The Wire
"- Isn't that correct? - I guess not."
The Wire
"- You guess not. - I guess not."
The Wire
"Mr. Price, you acknowledged earlier that in exchange for your testimony,"
The Wire
"you received immunity from prosecution"
The Wire
"for any charges related to this case."
The Wire
"Is it fair to say that testifying against Senator Davis"
The Wire
"ensures that you will not yourself go to jail?"
The Wire
"- Goddamn right. - Mr. Price."
The Wire
"I'm s... Oh, shit, sorry."
The Wire
"to take the word of a twice-convicted felon"
The Wire
"over the word of a duly elected member of the Maryland state senate?"
The Wire
"All right, well, come on back, then, all right?"
The Wire
"We got two wounded and one dead going back to that piece since December."
The Wire
"Guy's like clockwork."
The Wire
"Spot me an' Garvey three nights,"
The Wire
"and the case is fuckin' down."
The Wire
"- I can give you two nights. - If he hits on the third?"
The Wire
"- One night. - OK, OK."
The Wire
"You need to put my CC number on the OT slips"
The Wire
"- and you give those to Jay... - It's cool. I know the drill."
The Wire
"- You do? - You're doing good here, boss."
The Wire
"What did you just call me?"
The Wire
"- What the hell is that? - Office reports."
The Wire
"Families of your victims, debriefed in full."
The Wire
"- Rough, huh? - I'm sittin' there explaining"
The Wire
"to the salt of the fuckin' earth why their eldest,"
The Wire
"who is living on the street because nothing they did could fix his problems,"
The Wire
"but God knows they tried,"
The Wire
"who used him for jerk-off purposes."
The Wire
"How the shit about the bite marks get in the papers in the first place?"
The Wire
"You didn't tell me that part of it, did you, motherfucker?"
The Wire
"that poor guy."
The Wire
"Wanna take him home with you?"
