I'm a murder police. I work murders. I don't fuck with no make-believe. I don't jerk shit around. I catch a murder, and I work it.
“The Dickensian Aspect” · Season 5, Episode 6
In this episode: Bunk Moreland (2), Jimmy McNulty (1), Omar Little (1), Lester Freamon (1), Marlo Stanfield (1), Chris Partlow (1)
When they took us off Marlo this last time, when they said they couldn't pay for further investigation... I regarded that decision as illegitimate.
SSydnor
Illegitimate?
And so... I'm responding in kind. I'm going to press a case against Marlo Stanfield without regard to the usual rules. I'm running an illegal wiretap on Marlo Stanfield's cellphone.
SSydnor
Fuck. Lester?
If you have a problem with this, I understand completely, and I urge you to get as far fucking away from me as you can.
Now you make sure you tell old Marlo I burned the money. 'Cause it ain't about that paper. It's about me hurtin' his people and messin' with his world. Tell that boy he ain't man enough to come down to the street with Omar. You tell him that!
You called the reporter huh?
No, actually. That asshole's making up his own shit. Brass called a press conference for this afternoon. They'll be shovellin' so much money at my bullshit it'll make your head spin.
[after finding out Omar jumped from a 5th floor balcony] Don't seem possible.
It don't.
That's some Spiderman shit there. We missed our shot. Now he goin' be at us.
