The Wire - Decoding (Sn1Ep7

- This is the bulk of the work of our dear detectives in The Wire (HBO series 2002-2007). It's number codes sent to pagers on Sn1, text messages to cell phones (burners) on Sn3 and photos on Sn5. One way or another they manage to crack the code but convict criminals with them is another much more complicated task.
I loved how they took Prez, a complete fuck up at the beginning, and he found his niche in the unit becoming invaluable. Until he shot that other cop that is
Never should’ve gave him back his gun
Chasing an armed black suspect you have never seen before while a plane clothes black officer you have never seen before is also chasing said mystery suspect….
It just shows that not everyone is meant to work on the street, not all crimes are solved by busting people on the street. Prez clearly had no business being on the street, his specialty was behind a desk, there is nothing wrong with that. Just think about how many cops you have seen that clearly have no people skills and have no business pulling people over, detaining them or arresting them.
He should have stood in the office at the precinct
Yeah and he also pistol whipped that kid
2:03 "turn it upside down"
Herc: "it's blank..."
It's gotta be some kind of mandela effect that Herc wasn't bald the entire show.
What the fuck
Wtf. I just finished watching this clip, then I read this comment and still didn't believe you 😂😂😂
just as genius as it was for them to crack the code is actually how Stringer’s crew actually came UP with the code in the first place.
I just commented that on another video drug dealers use to be genius
Always harder to crack than create
*Avon's crew
This code was from a real Baltimore drug kingpin back in the day. He was actually a consultant on this show.
Head to the local library, they'll have books about codes. You don't have to invent anything.
lester and prezbo together are the sh**
lester + prezbo, team lezbo!
@@Xad_Uhawk tuah
It’s great how once Carver and Jimmy took in the information from Prez and Lester, they were able to arrive independently at the code once it had been made clear.
It’s also great how Herc still didn’t know 💩
Naw Herc said "12 for the time" so he was on point in that scene. Herc had his moments, as rare as they were, he had a few lol
Nah, Herc said 12 for the time definitely.
It is so fun “figuring $hit out,” whether stuck in a basement lab/office or wherever. Bless the Prez!
Black is code for stinkum which is already a code
Not just that, its also Marlo's alias
That line about the Rolling stones song brown sugar come up in Daredevil with the actor who plays Fisks dad
I love this show brilliant.
Prez is like Lester.. He's natural po-lease
too bad he screwed up and a little too trigger happy for his own good
Ehh. Part of being natural police is being able to stay cool under pressure and he mostly lacked that. As a cop at least. He’s more of a natural teacher I’d say.
@@811chelseafc Definitely NOT "natural po-lice". Prez is a fuck up...with somewhat of a good heart. Funny how he brags on spending 5 hours cracking the teenage boys' code but emerges feeling like HE is the one who's smart and that the kids are "mopes" and "dumb".
@@wanderlustly313 I think you you missed the part. He is most definitely smarter than them but that is because he had good mentor in Lester. He was happy as long as he worked with Lester because both understood each other better than people give credit in my opinion.
@@torniketsirekidze1525 No. I think YOU missed the "part". How does having a mentor make you smart??? How does getting outsmarted all season by some kids make him smarter than THEY? Prez was an idiot. He got outsmarted by teens on the street and then in the classroom. Sorry if he was your hero. Generally speaking the street players were smarter than the cops. Prez wasn't even smart for a cop, he was one of the dumbest.
OCD: very valuable in complex cases.
Awww, Lester translating for the whites.
Yeah, we don't understand low IQ ebonics slang. The lower life forms try to communicate with us, but it's too primitive and rudimentary to fully comprehend. It's all clicks and whistles, pun intended.
I don't understand how the lyrics helped Prez translate the wiretap
The lyrics didnt help, but tells how he can spend hours listening to words and searching for meaning. His hobby helped him break the code.
That and they were asking him how they heard that within the call being replayed. So he's pointing out one can listen to something 500 times and never hear what they're straight up saying. Let alone code. But some can, if you actually listen and spend time doing it. It's great stuff @@nodwicknod1070
Genius , spectrum disorder. Very intelligent and useful
these yos are smart
Prezbo a better detective than McNulty. He just couldn't stop stepping on his own bozak
My point is ok yeah the detectives figured it out but how do they exspect us to believe the yo’s came up with it
I don't get how that code would work. Most numbers wouldn't work that way
Can put as many 1s as you need. 14 would work for hi (as opposed to lo). 90 and 60 would work for 6 and 9 oclock.
And the first digit can identify enough people I think. 1=I, 2=Z,3=E,4=H,5=S,6=G,7=L
If a name doesnt fit, make up a new name
I love this show but this doesn't seem hard to decipher at all, I definitely would have missed "low-man" and "black" but the rest is plain english. It's kinda obvious whats happening they just dont know the names
That song isn't hard to decifer those lyrics.
Black cop should be ashamed of himself. He should at least chill with them every now and then to understand ebonics. If you know basic ebonics then it's not really hard to understand most of what they're saying.
Carver an East side ninja.
"Fuck Dem east side bitches! I got nothin but nothin but love in my heart for West side niggas!"- Avon to Marlow.
It's a coded sentence rather than ebonics
cop is whitewahsed
You should be ashamed of yourself for such a tone deaf comment.
What a stupid comment. He should be a shed bc he speaks properly and uses proper grammar? Why the hell should he be expected to speak ebonics?
To sum up your comment: he should be ashamed for speaking proper English and not illiterate English.
This is the dumbest scene in this show
Ok buddy
