Clips from The Wire - The Cost (S01E01)

"Anyway, I mean, I don't know how, but I find the guy."
The Wire
"So I catch him and I hold on to him and I manage to get to my radio."
The Wire
"We in the middle of this parking lot and we're rolling around..."
The Wire
"and this motherfucker's steady kicking my ass trying to get away."
The Wire
"I look over and I see these black patents and these uniform blue pants."
The Wire
"I look up and it's Charlie Smoot..."
The Wire
"He looks down at me and he smiles, you know real quiet-like."
The Wire
"And he drops his cuffs. He says, "Here you go, rook.""
The Wire
""Here you go, rook.""
The Wire
"And then he dropped the bracelets and walked away."
The Wire
"Lester says we ain't gonna write a warrant on this place."
The Wire
"-How do we not with all this PC? -We're on the main stash, right?"
The Wire
"when all we have to do is park a van down the street..."
The Wire
"We're gonna start picking up pieces of Barksdale's world..."
The Wire
"we never even knew about."
The Wire
"What the hell's the name of this unit anyway?"
The Wire
"Shit, Kima in the house."
The Wire
"What's up, Wig? State police, CID, out of Pikesville."
The Wire
"Name of Troy Wiggins, but pay no attention to the man..."
The Wire
"because he about 90-95% pure bullshit."
The Wire
"Kima, she just talk like that because I had her when she was good."
The Wire
"Shit, you the ugly-ass motherfucker turned me the other way."
The Wire
"Shit, all right. Here's the thing, boys and girls."
The Wire
"And I get this Westside asshole nibbling on four ounces, right?"
The Wire
"-A whole four ounces? -I know, he ain't much, but..."
The Wire
"I get him in the boat and he starts flopping around..."
The Wire
"saying he can buy weight from some motherfucker, name of Barksdale."
The Wire
"So what's the name of your fish?"
The Wire
"Wendell O., as in..."
The Wire
"oh-shit-l-tried-to-buy from-a-state-police Blocker."
The Wire
"Yeah. You on it."
The Wire
"Orlando."
The Wire
"They keep that back room locked."
The Wire
"making someone come into the towers."
The Wire
"-Yeah. -Which one was talking?"
The Wire
"He was tall, I think."
The Wire
"-No way. -Why not?"
The Wire
"He wouldn't walk into state troopers."
The Wire
"You're never gonna get Avon or Stringer in the same room as the dope."
The Wire
"-We make this case on their voices alone. -So maybe he can't buy from Barksdale."
The Wire
"Maybe he can only buy from Savino or Wee-Bey."
The Wire
"Fuck him, then."
The Wire
"We can take what Orlando gives us about the club."
The Wire
"-Daniels in here? -Yeah."
The Wire
"Call from Deputy Commissioner for you. You want it in here?"
The Wire
"just so you can hold $10, that shit ain't right."
The Wire
"I don't know. I need a place of my own."
The Wire
"How long you been clean?"
The Wire
"You serious about it?"
The Wire
"Who knows?"
The Wire
"What the fuck am I gonna do with a clean informant?"
The Wire
"Did you think about that?"
The Wire
"All right, I'm on it with you."
The Wire
"What the fuck, give me some love."
The Wire
"Okay, I mean, I think I can get, you know, a mattress, my own place..."
The Wire
"I gotta be somewhere tonight, so hit me on my page tomorrow."
The Wire
"Tomorrow?"
The Wire
"I got you."
The Wire
"-The cooperator says he can buy weight. -Not from Barksdale or Bell."
The Wire
"How can you be sure?"
The Wire
"How much dope or coke do you think gets Avon Barksdale into the room?"
The Wire
"A kilo? 2 kilos? 20 kilos?"
The Wire
"These people do not touch the drugs. They don't go near the drugs."
The Wire
"It's what I asked you for months ago. It's what we do successfully..."
The Wire
"time and again to make these cases."
The Wire
"Must be something happening out there. Too big a town, you know what I mean?"
The Wire
"If he had said, "We ain't paying, just be happy to live"..."
The Wire
"I'd have been like, they keeping it real."
The Wire
"But he say, come on down for $5,000. I'm, like, man, please."
The Wire
"Look here, homes, I ain't asked for much, but I'm a little light on traveling money."
The Wire
"I'm saying, I could go around the block and get myself paid, but I'm thinking."
The Wire
"You keep in touch with my pager. We're gonna need you for the Gant trial."
The Wire
"Go easy, Omar."
The Wire
"Stay free."
The Wire
"I be up there after 10.:00, right?"
The Wire
"That'll work."
The Wire
"We've got $30,000 in buy money, courtesy of our friends over at DEA."
The Wire
"But the thing is, they can't have that money walking on them."
The Wire
"Looking the part, too."
The Wire
"He might pat me, so it has to stash in the car."
The Wire
"I figure when Savino gets in the car at the cut-rate..."
The Wire
"And we probably can't be close enough for an eyeball on this..."
The Wire
"but the car will be a live wire."
The Wire
"And Kima will be throwing us 20s whenever she can. Rhonda."
The Wire
"I only want to remind Mr. Blocker here..."
The Wire
"that his plea agreement is contingent on cooperation."
The Wire
"than a buy-bust from someone higher up on the food chain."
The Wire
"that's better for us and better for you."
The Wire
"They already know that he got jacked on a reverse buy, right?"
The Wire
"-Why wouldn't they assume he's snitching? -I need money for a lawyer, right?"
The Wire
"That's the story."
The Wire
"All right. Let's make this work."
The Wire
"Careful. That's my career you're holding there."
The Wire
"Come on, man."
The Wire
"Shit. It's too loud."
The Wire
"Does any unit have the eyeball?"
The Wire
"Negative, 1 1-35."
The Wire
"Come on, Greggs, tell us where the fuck you are."
The Wire
"-What? -Pull in there."
The Wire
"Don't fuck with this count."
The Wire
"I'll be right back with your shit."
The Wire
"Where are we?"
The Wire
"Hoppers be turning the sign poles to fuck with you all."
The Wire
"I don't know, shit. Half a block west of Longwood, maybe?"
The Wire
"Yeah, that puts us about eight blocks away. I'm pushing in a little closer."
The Wire
"All units be advised."
The Wire
"Warwick near Longwood in the north side alley. Or near that 20."
The Wire
"This got the right feel for you?"
The Wire
"You creeping closer?"
The Wire
"He better not be long, because I don't know where the stash is..."
The Wire
"and if they dragging us all over this part of town--"
The Wire
"-What's that? -What?"
The Wire
"Something ain't right."
The Wire
"Gunshots..."
The Wire
"Gunshots. Go city-wide. 11-35."
The Wire
"Two males, black hoodie, both of them, one is--"
The Wire
"2900 is dark."
The Wire
"11-35, 10-38 is responding."
The Wire
"10-4."
The Wire
"1 1-71, does anyone have a visual?"
