1
00:00:34,019 --> 00:00:35,455
Type quieter, asshole.
2
00:00:36,602 --> 00:00:39,042
Early relief.
So get the fuck out of here.
3
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:41,741
Jesus, Bunk.
What time is it?
4
00:00:41,996 --> 00:00:42,983
4:30.
5
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:46,174
I couldn't sleep, so
get the fuck gone.
6
00:00:47,113 --> 00:00:48,907
What time did Mcnulty
leave last night?
7
00:00:49,067 --> 00:00:51,137
Never did.
He's in number one.
8
00:00:51,297 --> 00:00:53,382
Pulling his hair out
over some shit.
9
00:01:04,196 --> 00:01:06,040
Think again about what
the fuck you're doing.
10
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,983
Bunk, this can work.
11
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:09,865
It can.
12
00:01:10,243 --> 00:01:12,239
Fuck you. I mean that.
13
00:01:13,916 --> 00:01:15,540
4:00 in the fuckin' morning?
14
00:01:16,069 --> 00:01:17,341
Oh, so it is.
15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,422
All of these?
16
00:01:22,926 --> 00:01:24,713
Homeless murders
from the last 5 years.
17
00:01:25,712 --> 00:01:29,087
Everything before that is on microfilm,
but we got enough right here
18
00:01:29,627 --> 00:01:30,842
Most of it open.
19
00:01:31,002 --> 00:01:33,174
We don't do so well
with homeless kilings.
20
00:01:33,334 --> 00:01:35,410
Transient locales,
no nearest, no dearest.
21
00:01:35,570 --> 00:01:38,184
No one gives a fuck.
Cases stay open forever.
22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,604
- You're going to jail behind this shit.
- Yes, you are.
23
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:44,107
You know what they do
to police in jail?
24
00:01:44,381 --> 00:01:46,359
Pretty police like yourself?
Motherfucker,
25
00:01:46,660 --> 00:01:48,832
We have kids.
Houses.
26
00:01:49,446 --> 00:01:50,997
Car payments.
Furniture.
27
00:01:51,853 --> 00:01:53,685
I just bought brand new lawn chairs
28
00:01:53,845 --> 00:01:56,441
and a glass patio table.
You don't buy no shit like that if you
29
00:01:56,601 --> 00:01:58,316
plan to lose your job
and go to prison.
30
00:01:58,476 --> 00:02:00,659
- You won't even get past the m.e.
- Watch me.
31
00:02:00,819 --> 00:02:03,274
You're dumping murders on us
that we can't solve.
32
00:02:03,434 --> 00:02:06,808
- You're fucking our clearance rate.
- Fuck the fucking numbers already.
33
00:02:07,202 --> 00:02:09,424
The fucking numbers destroyed
this fucking department.
34
00:02:09,801 --> 00:02:12,133
Landsman and his clearance
rate can suck a hairy asshole.
35
00:02:12,293 --> 00:02:13,935
Marlo ain't worth it.
Nobody is.
36
00:02:14,095 --> 00:02:15,477
Marlo's an asshole.
37
00:02:16,231 --> 00:02:18,266
He does not get to win.
We get to win.
38
00:02:18,626 --> 00:02:19,877
This case doesn't go away
39
00:02:20,037 --> 00:02:22,311
just because the bosses
can't find the money to pay for it.
40
00:02:22,471 --> 00:02:25,849
These are fucking murders--
Ghetto murders, but still,
41
00:02:26,887 --> 00:02:28,877
I came back out of the western
to work this case
42
00:02:29,037 --> 00:02:30,610
because they said it would be worked.
43
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:33,932
I came back out on a promise,
and they're gonna keep that promise.
44
00:02:34,492 --> 00:02:35,973
Whether they know it or not.
45
00:02:36,363 --> 00:02:37,577
I'm gonna tell Landsman.
46
00:02:38,689 --> 00:02:40,413
Yeah. You keep on with it,
47
00:02:40,573 --> 00:02:42,040
I'm gonna rat you out.
48
00:02:43,167 --> 00:02:44,914
You do what you got to do.
49
00:02:48,956 --> 00:02:51,061
My name is
nowhere in the file.
50
00:02:51,221 --> 00:02:53,327
I don't want fuck to do with this.
51
00:02:57,924 --> 00:02:58,932
Hey, Bunk.
52
00:03:14,234 --> 00:03:17,267
Captioning made possible
by home box office, inc.
53
00:05:02,648 --> 00:05:04,064
What're you doing?
54
00:05:04,224 --> 00:05:07,081
Final is out.
I want to see my story.
55
00:05:07,241 --> 00:05:08,025
Now?
56
00:05:08,185 --> 00:05:10,074
It's my first time out front.
I want to see it.
57
00:05:10,336 --> 00:05:12,019
This is why we should
get home delivery.
58
00:05:12,179 --> 00:05:15,190
Why pay for it when I get
it for free at the office?
59
00:05:17,458 --> 00:05:18,511
Be back.
60
00:05:27,882 --> 00:05:29,088
Brother ray.
61
00:05:30,441 --> 00:05:31,691
God rest ye.
62
00:06:19,495 --> 00:06:20,925
When does the "sun" get here?
63
00:06:21,996 --> 00:06:23,344
Around now usually.
64
00:08:02,767 --> 00:08:04,821
- Anybody got a working car?
- I got one,
65
00:08:04,981 --> 00:08:07,756
but I'm going back out
to my crime scene for a canvass.
66
00:08:08,091 --> 00:08:09,407
Drop me at the m.e.?
67
00:08:12,656 --> 00:08:14,235
My office now.
68
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:19,632
I'll get a lift over
from one of the central cars.
69
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:27,525
This is way past any shit
you ever pulled in your life.
70
00:08:27,685 --> 00:08:29,595
- Think on it.
- You see Greggs out there,
71
00:08:30,234 --> 00:08:31,567
bagging evidence alone,
72
00:08:31,727 --> 00:08:33,587
then going back out
to recanvass on a triple?
73
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:36,310
A triple fucking murder.
A home invasion,
74
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:38,541
and she's working it alone.
75
00:08:38,701 --> 00:08:41,190
They pulled Crutchfield this morning,
put him back in the rotation.
76
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:43,843
- That's on them, but you can't--
- Fucking right, that's on them.
77
00:08:44,003 --> 00:08:44,984
A triple murder,
78
00:08:45,144 --> 00:08:48,574
and 12 hours later
they leave one detective alone on it?
79
00:08:48,734 --> 00:08:50,426
I guess she's lucky
she has a car.
80
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:53,545
- This shit won't work.
- Then we're no worse than before.
81
00:08:53,994 --> 00:08:56,896
- Extra red name or two on the board.
- Yeah, unless you got caught.
82
00:08:57,056 --> 00:08:58,958
Who in this fucking unit
is gonna catch me?
83
00:08:59,118 --> 00:09:02,044
Most of the guys up here couldn't catch
the clap in a mexican whorehouse.
84
00:09:03,572 --> 00:09:04,964
What's with the red ribbon?
85
00:09:06,132 --> 00:09:09,839
Barlow had an open strangle
a few years back.
86
00:09:10,515 --> 00:09:12,972
Homeless guy with a red ribbon
tied around his wrist.
87
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:14,674
So that's two.
88
00:09:15,004 --> 00:09:18,930
Also, I found an open homeless
case which Ray Cole worked.
89
00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:22,073
I wrote a ribbon
into his office reports.
90
00:09:22,308 --> 00:09:25,318
- So there's 3.
- Our guy didn't have a red ribbon.
91
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,759
- That's where I'm headed.
- Jesus.
92
00:09:31,291 --> 00:09:33,117
- Listen to yourself.
- Upstairs
93
00:09:33,277 --> 00:09:36,114
wouldn't jump on a real serial killer--
fuckin' Marlo,
94
00:09:36,274 --> 00:09:38,041
who's got bodies all over hi
95
00:09:38,201 --> 00:09:39,674
maybe they need the make-believe.
96
00:09:39,834 --> 00:09:42,406
Yeah, maybe you're the asshole
just lost his fucking mind.
97
00:09:58,822 --> 00:10:00,857
- Crutchfield.
- Yeah, I'm locked in the box.
98
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:03,101
- In the box?
- It's no joke. Let me out.
99
00:10:03,261 --> 00:10:04,422
Be right there.
100
00:10:11,458 --> 00:10:12,489
He fuck you?
101
00:10:14,354 --> 00:10:15,385
He tried...
102
00:10:17,067 --> 00:10:18,788
But mostly he just fucks himself.
103
00:10:23,031 --> 00:10:25,007
You ain't seen those yet, huh?
104
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:26,796
I'll bet you didn't.
105
00:10:27,067 --> 00:10:30,275
Fucking Burrell's asshole
must be so tight
106
00:10:30,810 --> 00:10:34,013
you couldn't pull a pin from it
with a John Deere tractor.
107
00:10:35,182 --> 00:10:38,187
Here you're promising
a double-digit drop,
108
00:10:38,584 --> 00:10:39,850
and he gives you
109
00:10:40,305 --> 00:10:41,840
a 4% bump
110
00:10:42,221 --> 00:10:43,813
for two quarters in a row.
111
00:10:43,973 --> 00:10:45,533
Thanks for bringing these by, Stan.
112
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:47,714
Well, I wanted to
give you a heads up.
113
00:10:48,635 --> 00:10:51,320
Truth is,
looking at numbers like those,
114
00:10:51,805 --> 00:10:54,402
I'm thinking you could do a lot worse
115
00:10:54,657 --> 00:10:57,410
than give me a run
as acting commissioner.
116
00:10:58,034 --> 00:10:59,727
I know you couldn't make me permanent.
117
00:11:00,268 --> 00:11:01,622
maybe 6 months
118
00:11:02,083 --> 00:11:05,132
while you keep grooming
your boy Daniels.
119
00:11:06,529 --> 00:11:08,116
I'd get a pension bump,
120
00:11:08,525 --> 00:11:11,999
and you'd get a head start
on clearing out deadwood,
121
00:11:12,402 --> 00:11:15,518
beginning with Burrell
and Rawls.
122
00:11:16,167 --> 00:11:18,848
Thanks, Stan.
Let me think on it.
123
00:11:19,527 --> 00:11:20,887
You do that, Tommy.
124
00:11:29,657 --> 00:11:32,092
Even on an acting basis,
can you imagine
125
00:11:32,252 --> 00:11:36,106
Nerese and the Ministers dealing
with commissioner Valchek?
126
00:11:37,282 --> 00:11:38,973
What are you gonna do
about the numbers?
127
00:11:39,133 --> 00:11:42,473
Fuck can I do? I cut the department
budget to the bone, right?
128
00:11:42,809 --> 00:11:45,141
Can't very well complain
when the crime rate bumps.
129
00:11:45,470 --> 00:11:48,294
Burrell comes in here
and owns these,
130
00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:49,909
I got to give him a pass--
131
00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:52,298
at least until I can fix
his money problems.
132
00:11:56,219 --> 00:11:58,362
Your piece took a bad bite there.
133
00:11:58,522 --> 00:12:00,167
35 inches down to 12?
134
00:12:00,424 --> 00:12:03,574
Yeah, well, it's my fault
for giving it up to the a-section.
135
00:12:03,887 --> 00:12:05,561
Page one editor made
noises like it was
136
00:12:05,721 --> 00:12:07,430
gonna go out front. Then he...
137
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:10,201
ossed it back to metro
before the double-dot.
138
00:12:10,545 --> 00:12:13,110
Night editor didn't have room
to take it back, so...
139
00:12:13,647 --> 00:12:15,402
Story deserved better. Sorry.
140
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:18,681
3 people murdered in a house,
141
00:12:18,911 --> 00:12:21,258
and it gets 12 inches below the fold.
142
00:12:22,131 --> 00:12:24,507
- Explain that to me.
- There's no explaining it.
143
00:12:24,893 --> 00:12:26,040
Advertising's down,
144
00:12:26,531 --> 00:12:28,841
we got a smaller news hole,
we're not managing it well.
145
00:12:29,323 --> 00:12:30,574
We messed up.
146
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:32,091
That's all.
147
00:12:37,948 --> 00:12:39,089
Wrong zip code.
148
00:12:40,182 --> 00:12:42,041
They're dead where it doesn't count.
149
00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:45,078
If they were white
and murdered in Tmonium,
150
00:12:45,238 --> 00:12:46,868
you'd have had 30 inches off the front.
151
00:12:47,028 --> 00:12:49,563
Would have been my first front-pager
where I didn't share a byline.
152
00:12:50,212 --> 00:12:51,148
Yeah?
153
00:12:52,655 --> 00:12:56,404
I drove down to the port covington plant
this morning to get a copy.
154
00:12:56,564 --> 00:12:58,614
Well, you ain't the first to do that.
155
00:13:01,336 --> 00:13:03,123
Our 10-7 on e floor yet?
156
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:05,021
He's by the overhead camera.
157
00:13:05,626 --> 00:13:07,373
I need to grab prints,
get him I.D.ed.
158
00:13:07,533 --> 00:13:10,499
Don't you want to wait for the post,
keep his hands clean for trace?
159
00:13:10,659 --> 00:13:13,671
I need to know who my victim is.
That's the priority.
160
00:13:14,665 --> 00:13:17,299
Finish your breakfast.
I got plenty of time.
161
00:14:03,783 --> 00:14:06,328
There's nothing under the nails
that I can see.
162
00:14:06,488 --> 00:14:08,111
I think we can risk prints.
163
00:14:23,587 --> 00:14:24,575
Something's up.
164
00:14:25,473 --> 00:14:26,827
Please. Gather around.
165
00:14:29,418 --> 00:14:32,291
Steve, could someone get word
across the hall to features and sports?
166
00:14:32,451 --> 00:14:33,959
We want everyone on this.
167
00:14:42,503 --> 00:14:44,274
What, did we get sold again?
168
00:14:45,103 --> 00:14:47,469
First the "L.A. Times" buys us up,
then the "Tribune."
169
00:14:47,629 --> 00:14:48,641
Law of the fish.
170
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:51,188
- We're the minnow.
- Maybe we won a Pulitzer.
171
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:53,073
Pulitzers are still a week away.
172
00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:54,601
It just turned April.
173
00:14:56,210 --> 00:14:57,733
Look at Whiting's pants.
174
00:14:58,534 --> 00:15:02,457
If we won a Pulitzer,
the executive editor would be tumescent.
175
00:15:03,233 --> 00:15:04,267
Toom-what?
176
00:15:04,427 --> 00:15:06,450
Speak English.
I'm just a police reporter.
177
00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:08,581
Tumescent. Engorged.
178
00:15:09,068 --> 00:15:10,118
Exactly.
179
00:15:10,278 --> 00:15:13,719
It's a bad time for newspapers,
as you all know.
180
00:15:14,701 --> 00:15:16,450
The news hole is shrinking
181
00:15:17,020 --> 00:15:19,837
as advertising dollars
continue to decline.
182
00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:23,384
Our circulation numbers
are also down as we compete with a
183
00:15:23,843 --> 00:15:25,291
variety of media.
184
00:15:25,871 --> 00:15:28,482
Technology is driving distribution,
185
00:15:30,215 --> 00:15:31,465
and the Internet
186
00:15:32,073 --> 00:15:34,874
is a free source of news and opinions.
187
00:15:35,207 --> 00:15:38,059
Seeking a balance in this new world,
188
00:15:39,244 --> 00:15:41,208
we're now faced with hard choices.
189
00:15:42,146 --> 00:15:46,234
We opened our first foreign
bureau in London in 1924.
190
00:15:46,934 --> 00:15:51,555
The "Sun's" foreign coverage
has been a source of pride ever since.
191
00:15:53,765 --> 00:15:55,147
So it is with
192
00:15:56,749 --> 00:15:58,124
tremendous regret
193
00:15:59,572 --> 00:16:03,281
that I tell you that Chicago
has made it clear that the bureaus
194
00:16:03,587 --> 00:16:04,777
in Beijing,
195
00:16:05,303 --> 00:16:09,274
Moscow, Jerusalem,
Johannesburg, and London
196
00:16:09,934 --> 00:16:11,379
will all be shuttered.
197
00:16:13,112 --> 00:16:14,870
Elsewhere in the newsroom,
198
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:17,980
there will be
a fresh round of buyouts.
199
00:16:19,029 --> 00:16:21,318
Chicago has given us some specific
200
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,801
budgetary targets
201
00:16:23,195 --> 00:16:25,529
that will require some hard choices
202
00:16:25,689 --> 00:16:27,361
throughout the newsroom.
203
00:16:27,747 --> 00:16:29,283
We are, quite simply,
204
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:33,746
going to have to find ways
to do more with less.
205
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,041
So I guess I will
turn this over to tom,
206
00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:39,585
who will get into the specifics.
207
00:16:42,112 --> 00:16:43,585
I know some of you have questions.
208
00:16:43,745 --> 00:16:46,383
If you could hold them for me
until after I've had a chance to speak.
209
00:16:46,734 --> 00:16:48,945
Pull your clipbook together.
Time to find a new home.
210
00:16:49,105 --> 00:16:50,367
Chicago has sent us a memo
211
00:16:50,527 --> 00:16:52,640
outlining options that are
available to those of you...
212
00:16:52,928 --> 00:16:55,860
The aorta should have elasticity to it,
213
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:57,102
t it's rock hard.
214
00:16:57,434 --> 00:17:00,807
Whoever strangled him could've
just waited a month or two more.
215
00:17:01,242 --> 00:17:02,608
This guy was on his last legs.
216
00:17:03,067 --> 00:17:04,273
It is what it is.
217
00:17:04,767 --> 00:17:06,984
In addition to the fractured hyoid
and the bruising,
218
00:17:07,144 --> 00:17:09,067
I got signs of a struggle
around the body,
219
00:17:09,304 --> 00:17:10,563
a couple witnesses
220
00:17:10,723 --> 00:17:13,678
who thought they heard sounds
of a struggle inside the house.
221
00:17:14,357 --> 00:17:16,485
Also that ribbon you snipped off,
222
00:17:17,267 --> 00:17:18,574
it might tie to other cases.
223
00:17:18,734 --> 00:17:21,308
The ribbon my own investigator
missed at the scene.
224
00:17:21,468 --> 00:17:23,864
It happens.
It was high on the wrist.
225
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,955
Cause and manner
is homicide by strangulation.
226
00:17:28,961 --> 00:17:30,585
Good hunting, detective.
227
00:17:34,383 --> 00:17:36,368
"and anyone requiring
additional information
228
00:17:36,528 --> 00:17:39,001
"on cobra benefits
and pension payout as part
229
00:17:39,161 --> 00:17:40,979
"of the voluntary separation plan
230
00:17:41,524 --> 00:17:44,373
can schedule an appointment
with human resources."
231
00:17:44,848 --> 00:17:47,111
Some of you will migrate
into new positions
232
00:17:47,271 --> 00:17:49,044
while others will of course
233
00:17:49,724 --> 00:17:52,331
be moving on to other opportunities
beyond the Sun,
234
00:17:52,491 --> 00:17:55,496
but everyone in this room
has done excellent work
235
00:17:56,032 --> 00:17:58,489
and should be proud
of their contributions.
236
00:18:00,545 --> 00:18:03,141
- How many buyouts are there?
- That hasn't been determined yet.
237
00:18:03,301 --> 00:18:04,993
We're talking to the union later today.
238
00:18:05,153 --> 00:18:08,574
How'll this affect the upcoming contract
negotiations with the guild?
239
00:18:08,734 --> 00:18:10,926
Badly.
Kiss any raise good-bye.
240
00:18:11,346 --> 00:18:14,473
How come there's cuts in the newsroom
when the company's still profitable?
241
00:18:14,723 --> 00:18:16,932
There's nobody that feels
worse about this than I do.
242
00:18:17,888 --> 00:18:20,340
I've seen the excellent work
we've done here in Baltimore.
243
00:18:20,679 --> 00:18:23,020
The sooner we start
meeting with you individually,
244
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:25,566
the sooner I can answer
all of your questions.
245
00:18:30,358 --> 00:18:32,473
- Not O'mara.
- Yeah.
246
00:18:33,066 --> 00:18:34,133
Aw, no.
247
00:18:36,071 --> 00:18:37,387
Good luck everybody.
248
00:18:38,430 --> 00:18:41,435
No increase in felonies
and a 1% bump in total crime.
249
00:18:45,837 --> 00:18:47,308
Do you vouch for these figures?
250
00:18:47,789 --> 00:18:49,339
- Sir?
- No increase in crime
251
00:18:49,499 --> 00:18:52,441
even after I cut you guys to the bone.
This is what you're telling me?
252
00:18:52,601 --> 00:18:54,506
Because the one thing I'm
asking of you guys--
253
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:56,972
the one thing
that I'm asking above all--
254
00:18:57,132 --> 00:18:58,766
is that you bring me clean numbers.
255
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:02,500
Yes, Mr. Mayor.
You made that clear.
256
00:19:05,455 --> 00:19:06,618
Very good then.
257
00:19:20,089 --> 00:19:21,174
Burrell is done.
258
00:19:21,573 --> 00:19:24,409
He just killed himself.
We leak the real stats,
259
00:19:24,569 --> 00:19:26,649
hold the cooked ones
in case he won't go quietly.
260
00:19:26,809 --> 00:19:28,241
And replace him with who?
261
00:19:28,649 --> 00:19:31,308
Rawls?
He came in with the same stats.
262
00:19:31,583 --> 00:19:33,874
If I know Bill Rawls,
he'll be calling over here as
263
00:19:34,034 --> 00:19:35,814
soon as he gets back to his office,
264
00:19:35,974 --> 00:19:38,101
telling us he warned Burrell
against cooking the books.
265
00:19:38,383 --> 00:19:41,600
The ministers won't live with Rawls.
Neither will Nerese.
266
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,777
As acting commissioner,
they will for a few months at least
267
00:19:44,997 --> 00:19:46,803
if we've got a black
candidate to sell them.
268
00:19:46,963 --> 00:19:48,051
Daniels isn't ready.
269
00:19:48,211 --> 00:19:49,691
He's only been Colonel for a year.
270
00:19:49,851 --> 00:19:51,554
A year will do in a pinch.
271
00:19:53,737 --> 00:19:56,370
You float it with one of your
bunkies on Calvert street.
272
00:19:56,787 --> 00:19:57,987
See how it plays.
273
00:19:58,147 --> 00:20:00,881
Burrell reads that,
he'll shit melons.
274
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:02,204
I fucking hope so.
275
00:20:03,107 --> 00:20:04,379
It's Baltimore.
276
00:20:05,993 --> 00:20:07,463
No one lives forever.
277
00:20:24,406 --> 00:20:25,567
Andreas, right?
278
00:20:28,673 --> 00:20:29,945
The Russian sent me.
279
00:20:32,946 --> 00:20:34,701
Need you to get a word to Vondas.
280
00:20:35,118 --> 00:20:36,522
He got a new friend.*
281
00:20:37,004 --> 00:20:38,365
I never hear the name.
282
00:20:39,003 --> 00:20:41,080
Just let him know Marlo
came past with a gift.
283
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:46,623
Be at you same time tomorrow.
284
00:21:05,594 --> 00:21:07,477
Any idea how long this could take?
285
00:21:08,286 --> 00:21:10,480
Don't know.
Might be here all day.
286
00:21:11,217 --> 00:21:13,107
I have meetings scheduled.
287
00:21:13,638 --> 00:21:15,903
We've got to lay
the foundation carefully,
288
00:21:16,063 --> 00:21:17,738
make it so the grand jurors understand
289
00:21:17,898 --> 00:21:20,950
all the ins and outs
so they don't get lost in the details.
290
00:21:26,067 --> 00:21:27,284
Mr. Howard?
291
00:21:33,713 --> 00:21:35,464
Is there any way
I could go earlier?
292
00:21:35,999 --> 00:21:37,883
If you're important enough, sure.
293
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:42,262
I'm the vice president
of a major financial institution.
294
00:21:43,217 --> 00:21:44,624
Who the fuck isn't?
295
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:50,569
Now, sir, directing your attention
to the document in your hand,
296
00:21:50,729 --> 00:21:52,558
is that also an account statement?
297
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:53,924
Yes, it is,
298
00:21:54,203 --> 00:21:56,309
for a non-profit,
interest-bearing account,
299
00:21:56,660 --> 00:21:59,658
organizational,
with 5013 designation.
300
00:22:00,098 --> 00:22:04,242
Can begin by slowly
explaining in the most basic terms
301
00:22:04,402 --> 00:22:08,690
each of those things,
beginning with the word non-profit?
302
00:22:09,427 --> 00:22:11,983
- Hey, is box two open?
- Not yet.
303
00:22:12,143 --> 00:22:13,357
What about 3?
304
00:22:13,517 --> 00:22:15,504
Someone's killing homeless men.
305
00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:18,271
Medical examiner says so.
306
00:22:25,628 --> 00:22:27,712
Weird thing about my case, Bunk?
307
00:22:29,617 --> 00:22:32,771
Dead man was homeless,
but he had a red ribbon
308
00:22:33,414 --> 00:22:34,558
tied around his wrist.
309
00:22:34,718 --> 00:22:36,651
What does a homeless guy
have to remember
310
00:22:36,811 --> 00:22:39,488
that he should have a red ribbon
tied around his wrist?
311
00:22:43,554 --> 00:22:44,958
- Burlow.
- What?
312
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:46,535
Nice out.
313
00:22:46,777 --> 00:22:49,706
Oh, like Chanel no. 5
comes out of your ass, moreland.
314
00:22:54,924 --> 00:22:57,790
If you got a problem,
then I got a problem.
315
00:22:58,235 --> 00:23:00,034
That's how the co-op work.
316
00:23:00,856 --> 00:23:02,287
What's the problem?
317
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:03,977
I got too much money.
318
00:23:05,150 --> 00:23:08,911
Son, believe me,
you ain't alone.
319
00:23:10,643 --> 00:23:13,217
What to do with the shit
we sell ain't no thing.
320
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:17,024
In Baltimore,
dope and coke sell themselves,
321
00:23:17,384 --> 00:23:19,198
but the money that come back?
322
00:23:20,449 --> 00:23:22,357
Ain't enough mattresses, is there now?
323
00:23:23,272 --> 00:23:24,489
You got any ideas?
324
00:23:27,127 --> 00:23:28,180
A few.
325
00:23:29,365 --> 00:23:30,440
If you askin'.
326
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,149
- Not Twigg.
- Damn.
327
00:23:34,622 --> 00:23:37,324
Guy gives 20 years to the paper,
and this how it ends?
328
00:23:37,897 --> 00:23:40,280
Fact of the matter is,
it's more profitable these days
329
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,340
to run a worse paper for less money.
330
00:23:42,770 --> 00:23:44,342
Cut back people and pages,
331
00:23:44,552 --> 00:23:45,741
you increase revenue.
332
00:23:45,901 --> 00:23:47,971
If we're lucky,
they'll just get rid of deadwood.
333
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:51,933
How'd it go?
334
00:23:54,403 --> 00:23:55,990
"You've done excellent work."
335
00:23:56,564 --> 00:23:58,736
Without being explicit,
they gave me a choice--
336
00:23:59,527 --> 00:24:01,651
either the copy desk or the buyout.
337
00:24:01,811 --> 00:24:03,445
- You're kidding, right?
- Apparently,
338
00:24:03,605 --> 00:24:05,412
they can hire
one-and-a-half 20-somethings
339
00:24:05,572 --> 00:24:07,517
for what it costs to keep
me in print, so...
340
00:24:07,984 --> 00:24:09,258
Damn, Roger.
341
00:24:10,014 --> 00:24:11,870
- Sorry, man.
- Fuck it.
342
00:24:12,231 --> 00:24:14,907
I might as well get to work
on the Great American Novel.
343
00:24:20,949 --> 00:24:22,331
Gus, come on in.
344
00:24:37,472 --> 00:24:38,533
Have a seat.
345
00:24:41,882 --> 00:24:44,427
Relax, gus.
We need you here.
346
00:24:51,015 --> 00:24:52,285
We value your dedication.
347
00:24:52,836 --> 00:24:54,329
You've done excellent work.
348
00:24:54,489 --> 00:24:57,059
We're counting on you
to transition the new team.
349
00:24:57,564 --> 00:24:59,620
There's still going to be
excellent talent out there
350
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:02,796
- that needs to be developed.
- What kind of team's going to be left?
351
00:25:03,351 --> 00:25:04,910
We're losing good people,
352
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:07,634
but we expect to retain
the core of a solid staff.
353
00:25:08,408 --> 00:25:09,966
Doing more with less.
354
00:25:10,865 --> 00:25:13,598
That's what we have
to contemplate going forward.
355
00:25:14,284 --> 00:25:15,763
More with less, huh?
356
00:25:16,904 --> 00:25:18,132
Look at this.
357
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:21,165
A red ribbon in one
of Ray Cole's files.
358
00:25:24,318 --> 00:25:26,850
Cole left a note with it.
"Found on left wrist of victim.
359
00:25:27,010 --> 00:25:28,780
Check against other cases."
360
00:25:30,317 --> 00:25:31,324
Hey, hon.
361
00:25:31,484 --> 00:25:34,117
How's the stain look on the cabinets?
They dry yet?
362
00:25:35,311 --> 00:25:37,634
Great.
I'm on my way.
363
00:25:57,406 --> 00:26:00,499
This is the hard part,
getting these guys to give a shit.
364
00:26:01,062 --> 00:26:02,905
Let's get a taste. I'm buying.
365
00:26:05,484 --> 00:26:06,991
You think I'm drinking with you?
366
00:26:07,411 --> 00:26:08,351
Go home, Jimmy.
367
00:26:08,511 --> 00:26:10,989
- Think your weak shit through, man.
- Go home?
368
00:26:11,290 --> 00:26:13,450
For the love of God,
I'm working a serial killer.
369
00:26:25,545 --> 00:26:26,963
You want to talk on it?
370
00:26:33,144 --> 00:26:34,811
Went with Chris and them,
371
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:38,036
set up on this family.
372
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:46,597
Everything so serious now.
373
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:51,138
Yo, little man, you
finish your howork?
374
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:52,906
'cause it's late now,
375
00:26:53,066 --> 00:26:55,299
and it's only gonna get later
if we don't roll home soon.
376
00:26:55,459 --> 00:26:56,706
Ain't no school tomorrow.
377
00:26:56,866 --> 00:26:58,117
Teacher meetings.
378
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:00,622
We should do something, mike.
379
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,042
Got my corner to run.
380
00:27:06,341 --> 00:27:07,328
What?
381
00:27:08,236 --> 00:27:09,420
What, nigga?
382
00:27:11,219 --> 00:27:12,776
Six Flags be open again.*
383
00:27:17,082 --> 00:27:18,837
That shit's taking forever.
384
00:27:20,397 --> 00:27:22,224
Complicated stuff, I suppose.
385
00:27:22,384 --> 00:27:24,758
It's more like
Joe make it complicated.
386
00:27:24,918 --> 00:27:26,923
That nigga got a thing
for conversation.
387
00:27:28,345 --> 00:27:29,617
Not like Marlo.
388
00:27:31,370 --> 00:27:32,665
Definitely not.
389
00:27:34,916 --> 00:27:36,518
Now, see, pastor here,
390
00:27:36,678 --> 00:27:39,190
he one of about 3
I like to give money to.
391
00:27:39,499 --> 00:27:41,528
Help with his good works
and all that.
392
00:27:41,688 --> 00:27:42,824
Good works?
393
00:27:43,069 --> 00:27:46,923
He down with all kind of missionary work
going on down in the islands.
394
00:27:47,446 --> 00:27:49,587
You know,
building a church for some folk,
395
00:27:50,072 --> 00:27:51,725
a schoolhouse for some other folks,
396
00:27:51,885 --> 00:27:53,591
all kind of good shit like that.
397
00:27:53,751 --> 00:27:55,090
And what else y'all building?
398
00:27:55,492 --> 00:27:57,721
- A hospital.
- Hospital, yeah.
399
00:27:59,426 --> 00:28:02,289
Except they been building that mess
for about 10 years now,
400
00:28:02,449 --> 00:28:04,290
and nothing ever actually get finished.
401
00:28:04,656 --> 00:28:05,988
How you gonna clean my money?
402
00:28:06,148 --> 00:28:08,624
Got accounts at some
of the banks down there.
403
00:28:08,994 --> 00:28:10,727
Donations come in as cash,
404
00:28:11,772 --> 00:28:13,350
cashier's checks come out.
405
00:28:13,634 --> 00:28:15,113
Tiny-ass Caribbean island
406
00:28:15,273 --> 00:28:17,240
don't truck with no subpoenas,
no court orders,
407
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,617
- none of that.
- You pay 10 on the dollar.
408
00:28:19,777 --> 00:28:22,491
Anything beyond that
depends on your generosity,
409
00:28:22,731 --> 00:28:24,998
to save those who want to be saved.
410
00:28:53,287 --> 00:28:54,450
I'm back.
411
00:28:55,121 --> 00:28:56,415
I can see that.
412
00:29:05,065 --> 00:29:05,986
Again.
413
00:29:08,885 --> 00:29:10,929
I saw your text message
on my cell phone today,
414
00:29:11,089 --> 00:29:13,233
it took me a minute remember
who the hell you were.
415
00:29:13,393 --> 00:29:15,141
- It ain't been that long.
- Shit.
416
00:29:15,985 --> 00:29:18,478
When you left,
I was still covering the labor beat.
417
00:29:18,638 --> 00:29:20,891
We ain't had a labor reporter
around here in 3 years.
418
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:24,048
Yeah, well, now you the big,
bad city editor,
419
00:29:24,208 --> 00:29:26,984
I'm whoring myself for politicians.
420
00:29:27,906 --> 00:29:29,938
You got out
just at the right time, too.
421
00:29:30,314 --> 00:29:32,923
- That bad, huh?
- Chicago is killing us.
422
00:29:33,356 --> 00:29:35,155
One buyout after another.
423
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:38,405
I can't even begin to think
what our next round
424
00:29:38,565 --> 00:29:40,827
of guild negotiations is gonna be like.
425
00:29:41,749 --> 00:29:43,284
Enough of me crying.
426
00:29:44,465 --> 00:29:46,496
What are you selling tonight,
dear Norman?
427
00:29:47,457 --> 00:29:49,707
Carcetti's planning
to shitcan Burrell.
428
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:52,836
He's talking to people and
considering replacements.
429
00:29:53,182 --> 00:29:54,337
City hall source?
430
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,507
Who's the leading candidate?
431
00:29:57,724 --> 00:30:01,264
Rawls, deputy for operations,
might have the job for a few months,
432
00:30:01,768 --> 00:30:04,390
but there's a front runner
from deeper in the department.
433
00:30:04,550 --> 00:30:05,857
Cedric Daniels.
434
00:30:06,017 --> 00:30:08,309
It's been a while since
I've been on the street there, Orman.
435
00:30:08,469 --> 00:30:09,604
Who's this Daniels?
436
00:30:09,764 --> 00:30:11,324
Chief of detectives.
Polished.
437
00:30:11,484 --> 00:30:12,711
Holds a law degree.
438
00:30:12,871 --> 00:30:15,124
Brought closure
to some high-level cases.
439
00:30:15,284 --> 00:30:19,070
His ex-wife got herself
elected to the council last go-round.
440
00:30:20,096 --> 00:30:22,826
I always liked photos
with my stories.
441
00:30:25,950 --> 00:30:27,441
And this is aimed at who?
442
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,794
The ministers?
Nerese?
443
00:30:31,084 --> 00:30:34,032
You want to see if they can live
with this fella here, right?
444
00:30:35,107 --> 00:30:36,094
A- ight.
445
00:30:37,950 --> 00:30:39,592
From one whore to another.
446
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:51,311
What the fuck?
Check this shit out.
447
00:30:52,984 --> 00:30:54,034
Beautiful.
448
00:30:54,366 --> 00:30:57,086
Holy shit.
Look at this motherfucker.
449
00:30:58,351 --> 00:30:59,777
Hit him with the spot.
450
00:31:08,706 --> 00:31:10,497
C.I.d. Figures, don't it?
451
00:31:24,685 --> 00:31:26,091
Where y'all need to go?
452
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:27,305
Down Six Flags.
453
00:31:27,617 --> 00:31:29,057
You talkin' round trip?
454
00:31:30,056 --> 00:31:31,833
Run you two hundred plus gas.
455
00:31:33,089 --> 00:31:34,208
Where you at?
456
00:31:38,767 --> 00:31:42,320
I got 150, gas included
if it even get us there.
457
00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:45,990
Don't be fretting on the ride now.
This motherfucker tried and true.
458
00:31:47,962 --> 00:31:49,058
A- ight.
459
00:31:50,084 --> 00:31:52,664
I got half when we get there
and half on the way back.
460
00:31:58,996 --> 00:32:01,058
I guess you're not up for a story.
461
00:32:03,211 --> 00:32:06,174
- I need something worked on right away.
- What do you got?
462
00:32:06,334 --> 00:32:08,557
Mayor's thinking
about firing the police commissioner.
463
00:32:08,717 --> 00:32:10,464
He's floating the idea anyway.
464
00:32:10,624 --> 00:32:12,109
No problem. I'm all over it.
465
00:32:12,269 --> 00:32:13,790
What do you know about Daniels?
466
00:32:16,181 --> 00:32:17,891
- Who is he?
- C.I.D. Commander.
467
00:32:18,266 --> 00:32:19,691
Came out of the eastern D.E.U.
468
00:32:19,851 --> 00:32:23,152
married to the Daniels
that won the council seat in '06.
469
00:32:23,312 --> 00:32:25,184
Brought in a couple
of big wiretap cases,
470
00:32:25,344 --> 00:32:28,106
they gave him the western,
hoping to clean up that district
471
00:32:28,266 --> 00:32:30,190
after they shitcanned Bunny Colvin.
472
00:32:30,350 --> 00:32:33,413
Since getting separated, he's been
shacked up with Ronnie Pearlman
473
00:32:33,573 --> 00:32:35,482
over at the state's attorney's office.
474
00:32:35,642 --> 00:32:37,208
No suction early in his career,
475
00:32:37,368 --> 00:32:39,335
but now that he's got Carcetti's ear,
476
00:32:39,495 --> 00:32:41,291
now the brass stay out of his way.
477
00:32:41,658 --> 00:32:43,698
What's the man's favorite color?
478
00:32:50,758 --> 00:32:51,849
You sure?
479
00:32:52,082 --> 00:32:54,605
Yeah, what the hell?
I'm already on the clock.
480
00:33:04,896 --> 00:33:06,821
- Ops bureau.
- Hi, darlin'.
481
00:33:07,267 --> 00:33:09,574
It's Roger Twigg
with the Sunpapers.
482
00:33:09,832 --> 00:33:11,467
- Hey, roger.
- Is the deputy around?
483
00:33:11,627 --> 00:33:13,225
- Sure.
- Thanks, hon.
484
00:33:14,447 --> 00:33:16,374
An hour or two,
I'd have had it surrounded.
485
00:33:16,534 --> 00:33:17,633
No doubt.
486
00:33:18,744 --> 00:33:21,640
While Mr. Deadwood here's
working the story,
487
00:33:22,773 --> 00:33:25,300
see if you can feed him
some react quotes.
488
00:33:27,978 --> 00:33:30,123
It's a generous gift, but...
489
00:33:31,461 --> 00:33:33,848
your money,
the money you bring me,
490
00:33:34,614 --> 00:33:35,642
I don't need.
491
00:33:35,933 --> 00:33:37,193
Money is money.
492
00:33:39,153 --> 00:33:41,303
What's the difference
who bring it to you?
493
00:33:46,139 --> 00:33:47,445
It's dirty money.
494
00:33:49,146 --> 00:33:50,221
It stinks.
495
00:33:52,267 --> 00:33:55,140
- We ain't in the same business?
- The bills are from the street.
496
00:33:55,391 --> 00:33:57,409
They're dirty, you understand?
497
00:33:58,704 --> 00:34:00,208
Everything runs through joe.
498
00:34:00,626 --> 00:34:03,346
Everything is clean with Joe.
499
00:34:05,498 --> 00:34:06,673
Ain't a problem.
500
00:34:07,375 --> 00:34:09,591
Good.
Good-bye.
501
00:34:21,536 --> 00:34:22,457
Hey, Bunk.
502
00:34:23,041 --> 00:34:25,974
What kind of knot
you say was on that red ribbon?
503
00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:27,907
The one on the homeless guy's wrist.
504
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,415
Ck yourself with your red ribbon.
505
00:34:32,594 --> 00:34:34,023
Just thought of something.
506
00:34:34,183 --> 00:34:37,286
I caught a vagrant months back had
a red ribbon tied around his wrist.
507
00:34:37,508 --> 00:34:38,968
You remember that?
508
00:34:39,708 --> 00:34:41,874
Hell of a catch, detective.
Hell of a catch.
509
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:43,612
Can I see your file?
510
00:34:51,294 --> 00:34:52,441
Clean bills?
511
00:34:52,959 --> 00:34:54,604
You mean laundered, right?
512
00:34:55,798 --> 00:34:57,140
I just showed you how.
513
00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:58,641
Naw. He mean clean,
514
00:34:58,801 --> 00:35:01,057
like the money straight out
the bank and shit.
515
00:35:01,217 --> 00:35:03,979
- All lookin' nice.
- See, people ain't right.
516
00:35:04,139 --> 00:35:06,019
Here you are tryin'
to pay a motherfucker,
517
00:35:06,179 --> 00:35:08,359
an' all he worried about
is what the money look like.
518
00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:11,341
Normally, my fee for this
would be 20 on the dollar.
519
00:35:11,790 --> 00:35:13,342
40,000 to make it look nice.
520
00:35:13,502 --> 00:35:15,283
You need this back today, too.
521
00:35:16,234 --> 00:35:18,274
Might ordinarily charge more,
522
00:35:18,832 --> 00:35:21,998
but seeing as how we co-op,
no charge.
523
00:35:24,573 --> 00:35:25,877
Speaking of co-op,
524
00:35:26,037 --> 00:35:27,670
tell them niggas that got burnt
525
00:35:28,061 --> 00:35:30,226
I'm givin' away 50
for a line on Omar's people.
526
00:35:30,386 --> 00:35:34,474
His sister, his me-maw
some faggy he be with.
527
00:35:34,930 --> 00:35:36,512
All that shit count, you hear me?
528
00:35:36,672 --> 00:35:39,667
- I'd let sleeping dogs lie, son.
- Oh, I know you would, Joe.
529
00:35:40,153 --> 00:35:41,674
You smart like that.
530
00:35:42,725 --> 00:35:43,519
Me?
531
00:35:44,498 --> 00:35:46,290
Anyway, pass that offer on.
532
00:35:46,684 --> 00:35:48,615
Come back for this here in an hour.
533
00:35:58,174 --> 00:35:59,699
Boy want omar bad.
534
00:36:00,148 --> 00:36:02,226
I ain't giving him a thing on Omar.
535
00:36:03,159 --> 00:36:04,563
Omar been gone.
536
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:08,241
Took a lot
of bad history with him, too.
537
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:11,940
Why in the hell would I want
that motherfucker back?
538
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,874
How fast you think we were
going on that first drop?
539
00:36:15,034 --> 00:36:16,885
- 75 an hour.
- That's it?
540
00:36:17,045 --> 00:36:19,212
Felt like I was coming out
of my seat, man.
541
00:36:19,372 --> 00:36:21,098
You always knowing
stuff like that. How?
542
00:36:21,258 --> 00:36:22,834
Ooh, over there!
543
00:36:28,214 --> 00:36:29,607
Y'all throwin' some bricks.
544
00:36:31,075 --> 00:36:32,764
Put a little touch on it.
545
00:36:34,334 --> 00:36:35,470
Watch.
546
00:36:42,171 --> 00:36:44,705
Put some backspin on it, or else
it'll bank off the box and not in it.
547
00:36:50,384 --> 00:36:51,379
Hold this.
548
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:54,007
- So where Fairfax at?
- Northern Virginia.
549
00:36:54,167 --> 00:36:56,474
- How about you?
- I live up Baltimore.
550
00:36:56,634 --> 00:36:59,198
That's so cool.
You two have your own place?
551
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:02,368
- Yeah, and Bug.
- That's tight.
552
00:37:29,074 --> 00:37:30,918
Madman on the loose, huh?
553
00:37:31,267 --> 00:37:33,170
3 linked cases and counting.
554
00:37:34,651 --> 00:37:36,494
He's killing vagrants, is he?
555
00:37:43,844 --> 00:37:45,599
Don't say I didn't warn you.
556
00:37:49,486 --> 00:37:52,246
Who covers us for the
Sunpapers nowadays? Twigg?
557
00:37:52,406 --> 00:37:55,301
Him or this new girl.
Alma something.
558
00:38:02,826 --> 00:38:04,734
Baltimore Sun. Gutierrez.
559
00:38:18,624 --> 00:38:21,005
Ok. Can I meet you?
560
00:38:22,365 --> 00:38:24,120
Do you know Al Pacino's?
561
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:26,572
How about half an hour?
562
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,841
Ok. See you then.
563
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,887
Good react quote from
me in metro write.
564
00:38:37,657 --> 00:38:39,039
Scott, come here.
565
00:38:41,591 --> 00:38:42,698
This quote, here.
566
00:38:43,148 --> 00:38:46,108
"Carcetti may be holng the knife,
but Daniels sharpened it for him.
567
00:38:46,268 --> 00:38:49,197
He's been critical
of Burrell since the election."
568
00:38:49,918 --> 00:38:51,090
Good shit, huh?
569
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:53,880
Yeah, from a high-ranking
city hall source?
570
00:38:54,286 --> 00:38:56,377
You feel comfortable telling me
where you got that?
571
00:38:56,537 --> 00:38:58,047
Not really, it being a source.
572
00:38:59,438 --> 00:39:01,412
It's a great quote, but, uh,
573
00:39:02,076 --> 00:39:04,676
if you're gonna-- if you're gonna
slam somebody anonymously,
574
00:39:04,836 --> 00:39:06,722
I at least have to be sure
that the quote--
575
00:39:06,882 --> 00:39:08,224
Nerese Campbell.
576
00:39:08,740 --> 00:39:10,893
She's not gonna slam
the Mayor's choice publicly,
577
00:39:11,053 --> 00:39:13,312
but not-for-attribution,
that's her quote.
578
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,040
You got Nerese to say that, huh?
579
00:39:16,501 --> 00:39:18,858
Twigg's not the only guy
with game around here.
580
00:39:36,425 --> 00:39:39,365
Let Vondas know I ain't mean
no misunderstanding earlier.
581
00:39:55,848 --> 00:39:57,554
How do you know they're connected?
582
00:39:57,714 --> 00:40:00,553
Is there D.N.A. Evidence
or a signature?
583
00:40:00,713 --> 00:40:03,279
We can't release that yet.
You know, copycats.
584
00:40:03,439 --> 00:40:05,024
So there is a signature.
585
00:40:06,575 --> 00:40:07,628
What?
586
00:40:08,418 --> 00:40:09,493
You're good.
587
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:13,080
- You're new, right?
- 5 months.
588
00:40:13,350 --> 00:40:16,224
I worked at the Sun-sentinel
in Lauderdale before this.
589
00:40:16,926 --> 00:40:18,669
I've read your stories.
They're good.
590
00:40:19,029 --> 00:40:20,830
Bullshit, but thanks.
591
00:40:22,731 --> 00:40:24,850
You're gonna run
something right away, right?
592
00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:27,138
We got to get the word out on this.
593
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,013
What kind of name is Alma?
594
00:40:31,173 --> 00:40:32,885
I have a boyfriend, detective.
595
00:40:34,552 --> 00:40:35,938
He bigger than me?
596
00:40:36,486 --> 00:40:39,117
Can I ask you why
on the day in question
597
00:40:39,277 --> 00:40:41,942
you were operating the senator's car
when you were detained by city police
598
00:40:42,102 --> 00:40:44,046
with $20,000 in cash?
599
00:40:44,647 --> 00:40:47,491
On advice of my attorney,
I ain't gonna answer that.
600
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:49,750
Ya'll trying to criminate me here.
601
00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:54,365
Mr. Price, you are employed
as a driver for senator Davis,
602
00:40:54,525 --> 00:40:57,500
earning 30,000 a year,
is that correct?
603
00:40:57,771 --> 00:40:59,284
- Yeah, so?
- Yet,
604
00:40:59,662 --> 00:41:01,663
it is my understanding that
605
00:41:01,955 --> 00:41:05,216
you are also drawing a $40,000 salary
606
00:41:05,376 --> 00:41:09,217
as the executive director
of the west Baltimore hoops charity
607
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:10,953
and another 30,000
608
00:41:11,113 --> 00:41:14,823
as the fundraising director
for the senator's day-care initiative.
609
00:41:15,647 --> 00:41:18,809
How are you able to earn 3 salaries,
610
00:41:18,969 --> 00:41:22,217
working 3 jobs
at the same time, Mr. Price?
611
00:41:30,609 --> 00:41:32,078
You have a nice day.
612
00:41:34,470 --> 00:41:35,790
Blind motherfucker.
613
00:41:36,581 --> 00:41:39,708
His joint on Collington
on the east side of the street.
614
00:41:39,868 --> 00:41:42,553
If he give up Omar, though,
I want in on that shit.
615
00:41:43,058 --> 00:41:45,006
Nigga put a gun in my face, man.
616
00:41:45,457 --> 00:41:48,105
- Joe know about Butchie?
- Motherfucker, I know about him.
617
00:41:48,265 --> 00:41:49,943
Joe don't know shit about this here,
618
00:41:50,242 --> 00:41:51,887
and he ain't need to know.
619
00:41:52,274 --> 00:41:53,984
Now where my cheese at, man?
620
00:42:19,705 --> 00:42:21,057
The fuck you been at, nigga?
621
00:42:21,217 --> 00:42:23,878
Wasn't no school today, so we took Bug
to do something. Ain't no thing.
622
00:42:24,166 --> 00:42:25,791
It is when you don't tell no one.
623
00:42:26,117 --> 00:42:29,049
Now I had to come down here all day long
to make sure your shit is straight.
624
00:42:29,209 --> 00:42:30,638
This your corner or what, nigga?
625
00:42:30,798 --> 00:42:33,666
I'm checking now to make sure
shit's right at the end of the day,
626
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:34,938
a-ight?
627
00:42:36,539 --> 00:42:38,617
- Yo, count right?
- Yeah. All straight.
628
00:42:38,959 --> 00:42:40,605
Ain't the point, and you know it.
629
00:42:40,961 --> 00:42:42,521
Chris already heard about this shit.
630
00:42:45,957 --> 00:42:47,401
Nice dolphin, nigga.
631
00:42:48,599 --> 00:42:51,590
Let's go home, man.
I'll deal with this bullshit later.
632
00:42:58,976 --> 00:43:02,333
That's 400 in your own
account down in the islands.
633
00:43:03,210 --> 00:43:05,524
There no hurricane,
department of justice,
634
00:43:05,684 --> 00:43:07,957
or nigga with a gun can tap that.
635
00:43:09,116 --> 00:43:10,466
How I even know it's there?
636
00:43:10,626 --> 00:43:12,549
You check it online
any time you like.
637
00:43:12,709 --> 00:43:14,044
On a computer?
638
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:17,097
- If I can't hold it in my hand--
- A- ight.
639
00:43:17,434 --> 00:43:19,099
You got any prior convictions?
640
00:43:19,401 --> 00:43:20,809
No, nothing that rate.
641
00:43:21,156 --> 00:43:23,420
We get you a passport then.
642
00:43:25,416 --> 00:43:26,690
Take a trip.
643
00:43:40,315 --> 00:43:43,013
Ain't easy civilizing
this motherfucker.
644
00:43:45,009 --> 00:43:46,633
We chose poorly, gus.
645
00:43:49,255 --> 00:43:52,913
At this rate, there won't be much
to call a newspaper in 10 years.
646
00:43:54,462 --> 00:43:57,138
You know, my father
worked over at armco, right?
647
00:43:58,169 --> 00:44:00,719
And every morning
before he went to work,
648
00:44:00,879 --> 00:44:02,471
he'd sit at the table,
649
00:44:02,665 --> 00:44:05,407
reading the newspaper
with a cup of coffee,
650
00:44:06,658 --> 00:44:08,473
and no one could interupt him
651
00:44:08,868 --> 00:44:11,495
for that 15 minutes
before he walked out the door,
652
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,328
and I remember watching him, thinking,
653
00:44:15,567 --> 00:44:19,340
"What the hell is so important
about that damned paper?
654
00:44:21,114 --> 00:44:22,891
I want to be part of that."
655
00:44:24,489 --> 00:44:26,617
Made me want to be a newspaperman.
656
00:44:30,965 --> 00:44:33,791
One day I was cutting class
at Patterson,
657
00:44:34,434 --> 00:44:36,490
and there was this man
on the downtown bus
658
00:44:36,650 --> 00:44:38,869
folding his broadsheet just so.
659
00:44:41,992 --> 00:44:44,164
And the way that man folded that paper
660
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:47,401
and concentrated on reading those pages
661
00:44:48,037 --> 00:44:51,057
made him look like the smartest
son of a bitch on the bus.
662
00:44:51,711 --> 00:44:53,839
It was just one of those moments.
663
00:45:00,539 --> 00:45:02,590
"If, ever I depart this vale,
664
00:45:03,347 --> 00:45:04,986
"and you ever remember me
665
00:45:05,146 --> 00:45:07,356
"and have thought to please my ghost,
666
00:45:08,913 --> 00:45:10,383
"forgive some sinner,
667
00:45:11,408 --> 00:45:13,957
"and wink your eye
at some homely girl."
668
00:45:14,861 --> 00:45:16,242
Fuck Henry Mencken.
669
00:45:21,493 --> 00:45:22,897
I forgive you, gus.
670
00:46:07,236 --> 00:46:08,750
Oh, my God.
671
00:46:10,881 --> 00:46:14,091
You see that quote from somebody
about me stabbing Burrell in the back?
672
00:46:15,051 --> 00:46:16,324
That's a damn lie.
673
00:46:16,608 --> 00:46:17,836
So what?
674
00:46:18,911 --> 00:46:21,365
You're going to be
named commissioner.
675
00:46:22,608 --> 00:46:25,751
This is good news.
How is this not good news?
676
00:46:35,245 --> 00:46:36,233
Thanks.
677
00:46:37,593 --> 00:46:39,392
Cheap motherfucker.
678
00:47:08,615 --> 00:47:09,975
No, no, see.
679
00:47:10,479 --> 00:47:13,709
If you stack it with the domestic beer,
then I won't know.
680
00:47:14,906 --> 00:47:17,129
Cut a blind man some slack, hear?
681
00:47:21,312 --> 00:47:23,706
- Y'all servin'?
- If you got some I.D. on you.
682
00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:28,557
Who was that?
683
00:47:29,278 --> 00:47:30,350
Little girl.
684
00:47:40,811 --> 00:47:43,572
- Cash is in the register.
- Fuck the register, old man.
685
00:47:47,879 --> 00:47:51,587
They all up in your shit.
They going after every damn thing.
686
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,290
Do you hear me?
687
00:47:53,567 --> 00:47:54,905
We going to jail.
688
00:47:59,780 --> 00:48:02,874
Focus, motherfucker, focus!
689
00:48:04,081 --> 00:48:05,052
Look here.
690
00:48:05,852 --> 00:48:09,377
Back in the girdle ads
underneath the story about the-
691
00:48:10,233 --> 00:48:13,308
the school board approving
a name change for p.s. 114,
692
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,194
it's--
it's Jimmy Mcnulty's ripper.
693
00:48:18,642 --> 00:48:20,250
You know why they call them homeless?
694
00:48:20,617 --> 00:48:23,570
Because they ain't got a pot to piss in,
and you know why they ain't got a pot?
695
00:48:24,127 --> 00:48:25,739
Because nobody gives a good fuck.
696
00:48:27,171 --> 00:48:30,418
Shake it for another day or two,
and then you're back in the rotation.
697
00:48:35,060 --> 00:48:36,574
You done with this stupid shit?
698
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:40,245
Who the fuck do you need
to hear it from, Jimmy?
699
00:48:43,314 --> 00:48:45,844
You have to let Burrell know
that this isn't coming from you.
700
00:48:46,004 --> 00:48:47,135
That won't matter.
701
00:48:47,417 --> 00:48:49,191
After what he read today,
I'm the threat.
702
00:48:49,351 --> 00:48:50,624
Then you have to tell him
703
00:48:50,784 --> 00:48:53,016
that you won't take the job,
that you don't want his chair.
704
00:48:53,176 --> 00:48:54,518
And he believes me?
705
00:48:54,983 --> 00:48:57,720
The alternative is that he goes public
with what he knows,
706
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,357
whatever he has about the old days.
707
00:49:00,774 --> 00:49:03,485
- He sat on it this long.
- You said yourself,
708
00:49:03,911 --> 00:49:07,649
he'd rather bury that file than to
embarrass the department on his watch,
709
00:49:07,809 --> 00:49:09,992
but if it's between you
and him surviving,
710
00:49:10,444 --> 00:49:12,506
what do you think he'll do then?
711
00:49:18,717 --> 00:49:22,417
How much could even be in that file?
An assets investigation?
712
00:49:22,664 --> 00:49:23,956
Some loose talk?
713
00:49:24,628 --> 00:49:27,157
It was so long ago.
Most of those guys have moved on.
714
00:49:27,502 --> 00:49:28,818
He only needs smoke.
715
00:49:29,603 --> 00:49:31,790
He doesn't even need fire
to drag you down,
716
00:49:31,950 --> 00:49:33,364
to drag me down.
717
00:49:33,718 --> 00:49:36,619
Everything that we have
worked so hard for.
718
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:40,107
We've already lost enough.
719
00:49:47,913 --> 00:49:49,531
What other people Omar got?
720
00:49:52,052 --> 00:49:54,004
Cosucker the one got the trouble.
721
00:49:55,668 --> 00:49:57,372
No need for you to stand tall on it.
722
00:50:02,975 --> 00:50:04,588
It don't have to be messy.
723
00:50:04,748 --> 00:50:07,355
Ain't no other way.
I can see that.
724
00:50:20,742 --> 00:50:22,036
Where I find Omar?
725
00:50:31,780 --> 00:50:33,084
Where Omar at?
726
00:50:41,334 --> 00:50:42,826
You a tough old man.
727
00:51:09,141 --> 00:51:10,641
When word get to Omar,
728
00:51:11,313 --> 00:51:13,156
make sure he hear everything.
729
00:51:21,209 --> 00:51:23,197
We still ain't got no line on the man,
730
00:51:23,357 --> 00:51:25,025
and now he comin' at us.
731
00:51:25,185 --> 00:51:26,548
We gonna change up.
732
00:51:26,986 --> 00:51:29,824
Marlo got to move indoors.
The rest of us need to live on the run.
733
00:51:29,984 --> 00:51:31,724
Fucked-up plan, you ask me.
734
00:51:31,884 --> 00:51:33,358
Marlo wants Omar.
735
00:51:33,592 --> 00:51:35,303
What else you need to know?
736
00:51:39,084 --> 00:51:41,476
You making your move on Burrell,
and I don't blame you,
737
00:51:41,636 --> 00:51:43,890
and the thing is,
I can help with that.
738
00:51:44,172 --> 00:51:47,243
The ministers, Nerese,
black legislative caucus--
739
00:51:47,628 --> 00:51:50,819
- I can bring them around for you.
- Feel free.
740
00:51:51,249 --> 00:51:54,322
All I need is some help
with this grand jury nonsense.
741
00:51:54,884 --> 00:51:55,866
You go to Bond,
742
00:51:56,336 --> 00:51:58,415
- you tell Bond that--
- I can't help you with that.
743
00:51:58,575 --> 00:52:01,342
Story's been out all day,
and our phone isn't ringing.
744
00:52:01,808 --> 00:52:03,300
The ministers, Nerese, the caucus,
745
00:52:03,460 --> 00:52:05,375
they're willing
to live with Daniels apparently.
746
00:52:05,817 --> 00:52:07,093
Thanks anyway.
747
00:52:13,950 --> 00:52:15,886
Thinking you can cut Clay loose, huh?
748
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:18,460
Thinking I'm done.
749
00:52:45,198 --> 00:52:46,163
Bonjour.
750
00:52:46,975 --> 00:52:48,291
Came to see my account.
751
00:52:48,995 --> 00:52:50,638
Vous parlez pas francais?
752
00:52:51,396 --> 00:52:52,690
Y'all got my money?
753
00:52:52,986 --> 00:52:54,591
Je ne parle pas anglais.
754
00:53:00,607 --> 00:53:01,515
This mine.
755
00:53:01,675 --> 00:53:03,391
- Y'all got my money.
- Oui, monsieur.
756
00:53:03,882 --> 00:53:05,571
J'ai juste besoin de ça.
757
00:53:07,222 --> 00:53:09,714
S'il vous plaît,
est-ce que je pourrais avoir le...
758
00:53:10,899 --> 00:53:11,930
ça.
759
00:53:12,828 --> 00:53:13,919
Merci.
760
00:53:15,884 --> 00:53:17,447
Identification,
s'il vous plait.
761
00:53:17,607 --> 00:53:18,532
What?
762
00:53:20,094 --> 00:53:21,300
- Ça.
- Yeah.
763
00:53:23,051 --> 00:53:23,972
Oui.
764
00:53:25,595 --> 00:53:26,605
Merci.
765
00:53:31,284 --> 00:53:32,750
OK, monsieur Marlo.
766
00:53:36,382 --> 00:53:38,905
So you string together
Barlow's murder
767
00:53:39,451 --> 00:53:43,056
and Cole's unconnected case and yours,
which is natural to begin with...
768
00:53:43,216 --> 00:53:46,438
Instant serial killer,
which I thought would get the brass
769
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:48,603
to begin kicking out some money
to work real cases.
770
00:53:48,763 --> 00:53:49,817
Like Marlo.
771
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,221
Like Marlo.
772
00:53:55,163 --> 00:53:57,458
Shit like this actually goes
through your fucking brain?
773
00:53:58,982 --> 00:54:01,224
If you don't want listen to me,
then listen to Lester.
774
00:54:01,384 --> 00:54:02,803
He has all the wisdom you need.
775
00:54:02,963 --> 00:54:05,884
Joke of it is, no one gives
a fuck about a serial killer,
776
00:54:06,044 --> 00:54:08,874
not unless he's carving up
some pretty coed or some shit.
777
00:54:09,317 --> 00:54:11,624
Sunpapers put the story
in their back pages.
778
00:54:11,784 --> 00:54:13,157
Eh, you fucked up.
779
00:54:13,372 --> 00:54:14,733
Yeah. Tell him.
780
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,157
No. I mean, if you want to do it right,
a straight-up strangle's not enough.
781
00:54:20,150 --> 00:54:21,386
Not if it's some vagrant.
782
00:54:25,896 --> 00:54:27,475
Sensationalize it.
783
00:54:28,070 --> 00:54:30,703
Give the killer some fucked-up fantasy,
784
00:54:30,863 --> 00:54:33,050
something bad, real bad.
785
00:54:33,533 --> 00:54:35,617
It's got to grip the hearts and minds,
786
00:54:35,777 --> 00:54:38,123
give the people what they want
from a serial killer.
787
00:54:38,283 --> 00:54:40,783
- Lester, what the fuck?
- No. You're onto something.
788
00:54:41,726 --> 00:54:44,152
I only need a few weeks
to pull down Marlo Stanfeld.
789
00:54:44,312 --> 00:54:46,418
You fly this mess right,
you can give it to me.
790
00:54:47,195 --> 00:54:49,817
Who gives a damn
if we fake a couple murders
791
00:54:49,977 --> 00:54:51,603
that we're never gonna solve, huh?
792
00:54:52,311 --> 00:54:53,858
The dead men don't care.
793
00:54:54,287 --> 00:54:55,614
No one cares,
794
00:54:56,116 --> 00:54:57,564
but if it's gonna get the bosses
795
00:54:57,724 --> 00:54:59,550
to throw down
enough coin to do police work--
796
00:54:59,710 --> 00:55:01,893
I'm out.
I'm out of here.
797
00:55:08,834 --> 00:55:10,724
We got to give your killer a name.
798
00:55:11,250 --> 00:55:12,852
We have to kill again.
799
00:55:30,144 --> 00:55:32,122
Poppy, we've got to cook
one of these one night.
800
00:55:32,282 --> 00:55:34,495
- Yeah, right on.
- Nice little dinner.
801
00:55:35,703 --> 00:55:37,410
Omar, Omar, Omar!
802
00:55:39,935 --> 00:55:41,975
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
803
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:45,303
All right, all right. Here you go.
804
00:55:46,065 --> 00:55:48,556
- Mañana, poppy. Tomorrow, OK?
- Tomorrow.
805
00:55:48,907 --> 00:55:50,464
Mana, poppy. No.
806
00:55:50,624 --> 00:55:51,917
Mana, Alexis.
807
00:56:30,309 --> 00:56:34,093
Hey, 'Naldo, cous got to find out
where they got honeynut, yo,
808
00:56:34,817 --> 00:56:37,669
if they expect us
to call this spit o' land home.
809
00:56:52,208 --> 00:56:53,612
Recibía una llamada.
810
00:56:54,892 --> 00:56:56,405
Tengo mala noticia.
811
00:56:59,701 --> 00:57:00,704
Qué pasó?
812
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,139
Mataron a Butchie.
813
