Clips from The Wire - -30- (S05E05)

"You know that. I know that."
The Wire
"What, you don't think so?"
The Wire
"I think that if you do this,"
The Wire
"these son of a bitches will do you."
The Wire
"Sorry. There's been another homeless murder."
The Wire
"South Baltimore."
The Wire
"- No fucking way. - Dead for a while."
The Wire
"and the fact that you don't need another body because Marlo is locked up..."
The Wire
"- I got nothing to do with this. - Wonderful. We've eliminated one suspect."
The Wire
"You see what you started here?"
The Wire
"The bosses are gonna toss it back to you. No doubt."
The Wire
"You turning the world upside down with your bullshit."
The Wire
"The lie's so big, people can live with it."
The Wire
"Jesus fucking Christ, Jimmy. I told you. I fuckin' told you it was going to come to this."
The Wire
"You played with fire, didn't you? And now we're all getting burned..."
The Wire
"of what appears to be another homeless man."
The Wire
"...short while ago have refused so far..."
The Wire
"You're not killing them yourself, McNulty, at least assure me of that."
The Wire
"And the one you disappeared?"
The Wire
"He's OK, last I checked."
The Wire
"Good. That's a start, I guess."
The Wire
"- I thought you got a message. - Copycat."
The Wire
"Jesus."
The Wire
"How did you do it? How did you get 'em by the medical examiner?"
The Wire
"Some were real and I just linked 'em with the ribbons."
The Wire
"Some I juked as strangle jobs."
The Wire
"- If it matters, I know now... - Fuck what you know now."
The Wire
"This was all for money, McNulty? You couldn't live without the O. T?"
The Wire
"You and Freamon and maybe a dozen other guys."
The Wire
"Down the road, when we settle on this,"
The Wire
"I don't expect any of you will ever see another hour of O.T. Again."
The Wire
"I don't expect any of you will be doing police work ever again."
The Wire
"And the only reason this isn't before a grand jury right now"
The Wire
"is because our mayor can't live with that."
The Wire
"Oh, yeah. The Mayor knows your name."
The Wire
"So this is your last case. Work it."
The Wire
"If you're half the detective you think you are,"
The Wire
"you'll put this one down fast and take us all off the hook."
The Wire
"The longer this goes on,"
The Wire
"the worse the payback's gonna be."
The Wire
"But what does he really know?"
The Wire
"What he knows now isn't half of what he'll learn when we get to discovery."
The Wire
"They won't be able to produce a credible source of information."
The Wire
"They don't have to if it's not a registered C. I. A source is only..."
The Wire
"If he can raise doubts in a judge's mind,"
The Wire
"we could be compelled to reveal our source."
The Wire
"At that point, we're giving up the wiretap."
The Wire
"And he gets the paperwork from the phone company."
The Wire
"Which has Stanfield's number on it."
The Wire
"God."
The Wire
"The only thing we can do is barter."
The Wire
"Then barter. This can't go to court."
The Wire
"We do have some leverage."
The Wire
"What?"
The Wire
"Let's just say Mr. Levy has problems of his own to deal with."
The Wire
"and the Mayor will not forget that you did so."
The Wire
"Nor will I."
The Wire
"Jimmy, ass up an' help us with this."
The Wire
"Shit is funky."
The Wire
"- We should take this into the box. - Where's the pocket contents?"
The Wire
"We have questions about the reported kidnapping..."
The Wire
"Well, that would seem to be the newspaper's problem."
The Wire
"I get another fucking call about a gray van,"
The Wire
"What?"
The Wire
"- Bullshit. - You got business cards?"
The Wire
"So, where you going with this?"
The Wire
"- I think it's down. - Motherfucker, you ain't that good."
The Wire
"You OK, Gus?"
The Wire
"What?"
The Wire
"Alma, what's up?"
The Wire
"- It's empty. - What's empty?"
The Wire
"The pad he waved at you, saying it was all filled with notes."
The Wire
"What the fuck is that about?"
The Wire
"Alma, TV has police on a sweep of the homeless"
The Wire
"under Hanover street."
The Wire
"I'll get right to the point."
The Wire
"Please do."
The Wire
"- You have Stanfield, right? He's your client? - Yeah, him and his people."
The Wire
"I have some stuff, straight from the grand jury"
The Wire
"that you're gonna wanna see sooner rather than later."
The Wire
"- Is this a title three case? - You'll find it interesting, I promise."
The Wire
"We can grand jury Gary diPasquale tomorrow,"
The Wire
"along with that one-party consent call."
The Wire
"We'd want the second shooter, too, but Pearson's beyond that now."
The Wire
"you were guilty of obstruction of justice."
The Wire
"I could get six to eight years."
The Wire
"And for bribery of a state's attorney and the violation of grand jury secrecy,"
The Wire
"you could see ten to twelve."
The Wire
"You come home, first round's on me, I guess."
The Wire
"So you'll let me walk to keep this case out of open court?"
The Wire
"The conspiracy charge on Stanfield falls without the cellphones"
The Wire
"and you and I both know that if someone does some digging,"
The Wire
"they're gonna find an illegal wiretap and you're gonna lose the phones."
The Wire
"Everhart, 274,"
The Wire
"Maryland 459, Ceccolini, 435,"
The Wire
"US, 268."
The Wire
"Lying cops don't automatically kill a case."
The Wire
"But that's a lot of risk on appeal."
The Wire
"And a lot of dirt for your office to show."
The Wire
"No. You're scared of the light."
The Wire
"Partlow takes his chances on the legit murder charge only."
The Wire
"The conspiracy count goes and Stanfield and the rest walk."
The Wire
"Stanfield walks"
The Wire
"but the case goes on the stet docket, not dismissed outright."
The Wire
"And, although I can tell you there are people in this city"
The Wire
"who can't tolerate a scandal at this particular moment,"
The Wire
"that dynamic changes after November."
The Wire
"- The elections. - After November,"
The Wire
"no one is going to care as much about showing dirt."
The Wire
"If Carcetti wins, he's in Annapolis."
The Wire
"If he loses, he's an incumbent mayor who can take a hit or two."
The Wire
"Partlow pleads to all the murders"
The Wire
"and both lieutenants plead to the drugs."
The Wire
"Then Stanfield retires."
The Wire
"He's done."
The Wire
"We even get the scent of him on the street ever again,"
The Wire
"this case comes off stet and goes to trial."
The Wire
"And if we have to put a few cops in jail right behind him, so be it."
The Wire
"We'll bring the evidence and take a hit."
The Wire
"or the both of you don't walk at all."
