"Well, let's go inside and look it up on the computer."
The Wire
"I brought this guy in a few weeks back, just wanted to see how he was."
The Wire
"Sorry."
The Wire
"over in the warehouse district."
The Wire
"Some of the places I don't think it would be safe for you to go."
The Wire
"Alls I'm sayin' is a phone call or two and you're gonna find out"
The Wire
"even though we've tied three killings to this crew."
The Wire
"New Westport is like Howard Street ten years ago,"
The Wire
"You definitely can."
The Wire
"Do not get in a room with him alone."
The Wire
"Down the hall to the right."
The Wire
"Hey, watch that stuff. You'll put on weight."
The Wire
"That motherfucker shot me."
The Wire
"No way, that's bullshit."
The Wire
"Them police had nothing to do with it. No New York boys neither."
The Wire
"Thank you."
The Wire
"and it's a great day for Maryland."
The Wire
"OK, three minutes, for Christ's sake. Don't get your panties in a knot."
The Wire
"Commissioner Valchek."
The Wire
"Your Honour, I appreciate your concern."
The Wire
"Congratulations, Superintendent."
The Wire
"- Welcome aboard. - Thank you, Governor."
The Wire
"- But how can? - Jesus Christ."
The Wire
"- What? - So no one killed any homeless men."
The Wire
"No serial killer."
The Wire
"The detectives used the money to fund a case against the drug traffickers responsible"
The Wire
"for the slayings in the vacants a year ago."
The Wire
"Last week's arrests and seizures were a direct result."
The Wire
"So let me just understand this."
The Wire
"So I've been going out there for weeks,"
The Wire
"slamming the Governor for his neglect of the homeless"
The Wire
"to find the person responsible for preying on the homeless"
The Wire
"That's true, boss."
The Wire
"But it does have a certain charm to it."
The Wire
"They manufactured an issue to get paid,"
The Wire
"we manufactured an issue to get you elected governor."
The Wire
"Everybody's getting what they need behind some make-believe."
The Wire
"The detectives involved will be suspended and ultimately fired, at the least."
The Wire
"Beyond that, a criminal prosecution on fraud and perjury charges is probable."
The Wire
"You're saying we call a press conference and we say,"
The Wire
""By the way, all that stuff about homeless people getting killed"
The Wire
""and the Governor cutting the safety net"
The Wire
"against the traffickers arrested last week is tainted."
The Wire
"That case could collapse as well."
The Wire
"I don't fucking believe this."
The Wire
"You two are on point here."
The Wire
"Word of this gets down to Annapolis, the Governor's gonna wreck me with it."
The Wire
"How does word not get out once we suspend the detectives?"
The Wire
"Deputy, Counselor..."
The Wire
"if you two will excuse us, we are going to discuss this first"
The Wire
"do nothing and speak to no one about any of this."
The Wire
"If this becomes public in the wrong way,"
The Wire
"good people who were, nonetheless, in a supervisory role here..."
The Wire
"are going to suffer."
The Wire
"And that's not the outcome that anyone wants."
The Wire
"What Mike is saying is that we need to be very careful about how to proceed."
The Wire
"I wish I was still at the newspaper so I could write on this mess."
The Wire
"It's too fucking good."
The Wire
"Lester. What brings you down?"
The Wire
"We don't have anything scheduled from you today, I don't think..."
The Wire
"40,000 from the Showboat on the boardwalk."
The Wire
"26 at the Borgata."
The Wire
"80 over the last year at the Taj Mahal"
The Wire
"and that's just the Atlantic City casinos."
The Wire
"I like to play. So what?"
The Wire
"You lost three times your salary over the last two years."
The Wire
"and a third mortgage you folded on two months ago."
The Wire
"Gary, you're done."
The Wire
"What do you mean?"
The Wire
"We found sealed grand jury papers in the houses of drug dealers"
The Wire
"and we've got people naming you on it."
The Wire
"You have a problem, Gary."
The Wire
"But you have friends in this courthouse, lifelong friends."
The Wire
"Cop to the problem, give up the names of those that bought from you."
The Wire
"Disbarred? Yeah, no doubt."
The Wire
"But you play it clean from this moment on"
The Wire
"and we both know you'll probably walk."
The Wire
"- Why did you look at me? - I ran the finances"
The Wire
"on everyone who worked this unit over the last couple years."
The Wire
"You were the only bogie. If the S.A.O. Weren't so screwed up,"
The Wire
"they'd have been running background checks as a routine."
The Wire
"But I guess you knew that."
The Wire
"I always wondered if they'd get their shit together."
The Wire
"So what happens now?"
The Wire
"Well, for starters..."
The Wire
"you're gonna make a phone call."
The Wire
"McNulty, Freamon, Sydnor..."
The Wire
"and, before the end of the week, indicted."
The Wire
"- I know, but... - But what?"
The Wire
"We're gonna let this shit stand because it'll hurt Carcetti to air it out?"
The Wire
"I got a mind to call the Governor myself and just let it fly."
The Wire
"- Cedric, you can't. - Why not?"
The Wire
"If I let this thing stand, I might as well just roll over and play dead"
The Wire
"for every police who knows about this."
The Wire
"- We cover this up... - Cedric, you can't do anything."
The Wire
"I don't give a fuck."
The Wire
"And they'll fire me."
The Wire
"You heard Steintorf."
The Wire
"I was in charge of this thing."
The Wire
"I was on that wiretap."
The Wire
"This is my career. This is everything."
The Wire
"You go public and it hurts Carcetti."
The Wire
"and Bond is still my boss,"
The Wire
"Everything I worked for, all those years in that courthouse..."
The Wire
"Please."
The Wire
"25 cents. Baltimore Sun."
The Wire
"- Keep it. - Thank you, sir. Thank you."
The Wire
"People tip pretty good, don't they?"
The Wire
""...paying him for what he had done to us."
The Wire
""I'm sorry for him, man, really,"
The Wire
"- You gonna put all that in the paper? - That's the plan."
The Wire
"Even the parts about Sherrod?"
The Wire
"- What good is a story like that? - Like what?"
The Wire
"Like me, Sherrod. Gettin' high. Not gettin' high."
The Wire
"What good do any of that do to put it in the newspaper?"
The Wire
"People read it, they think about it. Maybe see things different."
The Wire
"Bubs, you don't want me to do this, I won't do it."
The Wire
"Baltimore Sun. A little bit of sun. Sun paper."
The Wire
"but your shop is gonna come out looking worse for letting it happen in the first place."
The Wire
"The better move is to shut it down quietly"
