"But they're going to have to set up again."
The Wire
"Either Barksdale moves to reset his distribution..."
The Wire
"or he gives up the towers."
The Wire
"What we put on Barksdale barely makes him break stride."
The Wire
"We'll be reassigned before you finish typing up your affidavit."
The Wire
"How about the feds?"
The Wire
"Why does the Deputy need to know?"
The Wire
"McNulty, you are a piece of work."
The Wire
"Yeah?"
The Wire
"It's Rhonda Pearlman."
The Wire
"who claims to represent a man by the name of D'Angelo Barksdale."
The Wire
"Meet me in Homicide. Bring a tape recorder."
The Wire
"-Where Levy at? He ain't at the club, is he? -No, club's out. We can't talk there no more."
The Wire
"-Come on, man, let's get out of here. -What's up, baby?"
The Wire
"So, this is it?"
The Wire
"Look, before you go anyplace else, before you talk anyplace else..."
The Wire
"We're up to almost 20 arrests at last count."
The Wire
"I agree. My gut tells me a wire."
The Wire
"Either a phone or two, or maybe something in a room somewhere."
The Wire
"No. Of course not, man. No phones."
The Wire
"When I talk to him, I talk to him face-to-face, in my office, in the back of the club."
The Wire
"-Thing is, they take you and leave me? -That's what's fucking me up, too, man."
The Wire
"Look, we'll know soon enough, as soon as I start pressing for discovery."
The Wire
"-We got to pull them. -That's showing a lot of money."
The Wire
"If we don't, we run the risk of making them enemies."
The Wire
"Speaking of which, where are you with your nephew?"
The Wire
"Is he going to see the light or what?"
The Wire
"Let me tell you something, man. He family, all right?"
The Wire
"A day or two in the New Jersey bullpen, he gonna be crying..."
The Wire
"So, let's run the money through the families, that'll hide it some."
The Wire
"Look, gentlemen, I know it's early..."
The Wire
"I want you to start thinking about who was charged..."
The Wire
"That means that you're going to have to deliver your people..."
The Wire
"all of them, down to a man."
The Wire
"I saw your girl today, for the idents."
The Wire
"Okay, I guess."
The Wire
"Moving slow, but moving, you know?"
The Wire
"Jimmy, you ain't been to see her?"
The Wire
"This ain't about you, right?"
The Wire
"I get back from Jersey, I will."
The Wire
"I will."
The Wire
"You know, Cole and me, we showed her the spreads."
The Wire
"Wouldn't go for Wee-Bey. So, I tried the fat finger."
The Wire
"to make this play easier in court. You know what she said?"
The Wire
""Sometimes things got to play hard.""
The Wire
"Real police."
The Wire
"Oh, yeah."
The Wire
"-What the fuck did you do to her? -I don't know."
The Wire
"You two in the same car going to make for a long-ass drive to Jersey."
The Wire
"Shit."
The Wire
"Damn, man, it's just too still in here."
The Wire
"You know what? We can--"
The Wire
"This place will be fine."
The Wire
"Damn, boy, when y'all change up, y'all--"
The Wire
"Y'all that paranoid? You ain't even been up in there before."
The Wire
"We are not going to talk about nothing indoors. It's a new day."
The Wire
"You know, I mean, the longer we hold off..."
The Wire
"You want to get it back up, you lean to me and String here."
The Wire
"-No, I ain't down yet. -You need to step back."
The Wire
"-We're here for you. -All right."
The Wire
"But you tell Roberto, he got to make it a serious smoker."
The Wire
"I want them motherfucking fiends in the projects...."
The Wire
"You send out the word, you let them know we ain't dead yet."
The Wire
"Tell him I'm sorry for putting him out there like that."
The Wire
"You going to make it up."
The Wire
"Most def."
The Wire
"that all of this cooperation is contingent on a commitment..."
The Wire
"I'm sure a proffer in Maryland plays much the same in Jersey, counselor."
The Wire
"involving drug trafficking, your client has been helpful."
The Wire
"He's indicated a willingness to testify that he was a lieutenant..."
The Wire
"in Avon Barksdale's drug distribution organization..."
The Wire
"sold large quantities of drugs for his uncle."
The Wire
"Delivered money, attended organizational meetings..."
The Wire
"and on one occasion made a trip to New York on the behest of his uncle."
The Wire
"All of which corroborates much of what we already know."
The Wire
"I already told you..."
The Wire
"I don't know nothing about that witness being killed."
The Wire
"Which witness?"
The Wire
"All of them bodies."
The Wire
"-They covering up, man. -Yeah, that's what we think."
The Wire
"She got paid, so she had to go."
The Wire
"But then there's the kid..."
The Wire
"Wallace."
The Wire
"But I need to go past Argyle Street tonight. Check in with Wallace."
The Wire
"Wallace?"
The Wire
"He off the hook since we helped the tower crew..."
The Wire
"I'm telling you, man, Wallace is bugging."
The Wire
"-Now, why he be like that? -I'm thinking he might be getting high."
The Wire
"-All right, holler at me later. -That'll work."
The Wire
"You got that shit on tape?"
The Wire
"-God! -His name is Brandon Wright."
The Wire
"Wallace was the one who saw."
The Wire
"But he really didn't think about what they'd do."
The Wire
"You must have known. You were standing there by that pay phone."
The Wire
"-You knew. -What was I going to do?"
The Wire
"I don't call String, word get back uptown, what's going to happen then?"
The Wire
"Yeah."
The Wire
"And down at the Greek's, they got Wallace to point the finger, right?"
The Wire
"Then they went in like cops with handcuffs, so they could take their time on Brandon."
The Wire
"They dropped the body where we'd see it."
The Wire
""Send a message to the 'jects," they said."
The Wire
"Wallace..."
The Wire
"he couldn't handle that."
The Wire
"After seeing that, he wanted to get out..."
The Wire
"We even joked about it, him being 16 and all..."
The Wire
"needing to go start back over again as a freshman."
The Wire
"About a week ago, my uncle and String, they called me down to the club."
The Wire
"Stringer, he's all worried about Wallace, and I told him."
The Wire
"I said, "Wallace ain't no snitch.""
The Wire
"I told him that."
The Wire
"But I needed to do more."
The Wire
"I should've done more..."
The Wire
"but I didn't, and, fuck, that's on me."
The Wire
"Any idea who they sent at Wallace?"
The Wire
"Come on, Dee, wild guess."
The Wire
"Not in his crib. I counted seven beds when I was up there."
The Wire
"-Where were the young'uns? -Look, if I knew, I would tell you."
The Wire
"but we're still hunting."
The Wire
"Him, he in Philly."
The Wire
"-How you know? -I know 'cause I dropped him there."
