Episode Quotes

Sgt. Jay Landsman: All that from overnight?
Det. Ed Norris: All that from Freamon. He's out early today, rooting through empties.
Sgt. Jay Landsman: You know what he is? He is a vandal. He is vandalizing the board. He is vandalizing this unit. He is a Hun, a Visigoth, a barbarian at the gate, clamoring for noble Roman blood and what's left of our clearance rate.
Lt. Dennis Mello: All right, listen up, you mutts, this is complicated. I mean, it isn't complicated if you went to college or, I don't know, your mothers actually stopped drinking for a minute while they was pregnant. But for Baltimore City Police, this is complicated.
Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: [Herc has been ranting about IID charges] Herc, What the fuck did you do exactly?
Sgt. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: I lost a surveillance camera that I took without my Lieutenant's permission and the evidence that I had found, I it attributed to a made up informant.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Son, They gonna beat on your White ass like it was a Rented Mule.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Colvin and Parenti are waiting for a meeting at the Mayor's office, there is a piece of black wire lying at Colvin's feet, probably left there by the crew.

Trivia

  • Visiting Bubbles in the hospital, Waylon wears a leather jacket decorated with a 'Copperhead Road' patch. This was an album released by the actor playing Waylon, Steve Earle.
  • SPOILER: When Landsman goes to the bathroom to clean up after Bubbles throws up on him, he looks at a defamatory statement about Rawls written on the wall. Next to that, on the right, is a partially visible message which says "for a good" with "Ji" and "M" written underneath that. The rest of the message is cut off.
