The sick part is that Frank Sobotka was 10 times the man Valchek was. Frank wasn't a criminal. Valchek abused his power and resources just to tear down a working class union. Valchek is 1000000x worse than Sobotka.
The most fucked up part was valcheks window was supposed to be a surprise. All he had to do was talk to the pastor and the whole thing would’ve been avoided
@@garccoleman386 I don't think that was actually Frank, just a note he left with the van where to send the pictures :P Judging by the fact at one point it was in Aus, no?
JohnACorp782 but they couldn’t make legitimate money. Stringer got scammed by way bigger fishes than the drug dealers, and that showed him the legit businessmen, politicians, the crooks are way out of their game.
That's what I've come to love about this season, the whole investigation is set in motion by nothing more than the sheer pettiness of McNulty and Valchek. It's so scummy it's perfect.
@@paulozhan What makes you say Nick Sobotka wasn't well played? Well, i godda agree with you he's not all the time upright but he's pretty good overall and has some great scenes. It's like Ziggy, he's inconsistant. He has genious scenes and other more weak.
+wee~leon Seriously. I watched with a family member who HATES anything union, I mean you say Union in this house with him and he's ready to loose it so the first few episodes he didn't like Sobotka but looking back he agreed that Frank Sobotka was just a guy trying to care for everyone around him and survive but above all care for everyone around him, not just family and friends but guys at the port that he barely knew...if that's not brotherhood I don't know what is, and while I'm not fan of union's they have a lot of good history and still have some good roles in this day.
Rawls>Burrell>Valchek. Rawls doesn't (to my knowledge) actively sabotage cases for personal benefit, he just rushes them more than he should for the sake of a good clearance rate. Burrell, while he may be a piece of shit, knows a good headline when he sees one. Valchek just cares about his own bruised ego.
It’s indicated many times that Rawls is actually a competent police officer and could be as good a detective as McNulty, Freamon or Bunk. It’s just his desire to be the boss that takes the first priority.
Rest In Peace Al Brown (Stan Valchek). All he wanted was to hear about Frank Sobotka. Unfortunately he had to deal with ratf#ckers. Poor guy. He didn't even get his van back.
I just noticed that at :58, he goes, "... if you check the 24s..." and looks at Valchek. It's the police equivalent of a passive aggressive "as per my previous email" and I LOVE IT.
I love how Valcheck and the Burrel are uncomfortable with the fact they hit a Brothel implying they may have visited one, but Rawls does not care given that he is gay.
Rawl for a moment looked like he would have been a good commissioner. He had a subtle respect for Daniels. He generally played the bad guy, but under Carcetti he actually had a pretty decent report with Daniels. There were basically 4 future commissioners in this room in this scene.
Rawls kinda reminds me of Howard Hamlin from Better Call Saul. He had superiors, he had inferiors, and he knew how to move between them. The same way Howard liked Jimmy and his work ethic, but had to deny him a job because of Chuck, the M of HMM. Obviously juking the stats is wrong, but that's part of what's expected of Rawls by Burrell, of Burrell by the Mayor, and of the Mayor by Clay Davis. If Rawls wants to keep his position, let alone advance, he has to toe the line. How can you make good change when you're stuck in the mud? Rawls would have to advance first...and as we saw when he tried that, he wasn't as quick or cutthroat as Burrell and was quickly 'put in his place'. Good poleece, bad politician.
It's interesting to see how the bosses react here. Rawls asks questions about police work and a case that affects CID. He's a bastard but he certainly knows about police work. Burell's just laughing at the potential dirt involving politicians in the city, Daniels is just 100% right about him, furthermore it's not surprising that Prop Joe said he was in the glee club in high school. And Valcheck, well, he's acting like a complete selfish asshole. He's easily the worst of them all.
+doomsncrew I really started to respect Rawls when he was at the scene of the Kima shooting in season one. Sure, he's a complete asshole, but he knows how to do police work.
I dunno, Valchek's motivations are clear & genuine -- selfish, but clear & genuine. Is that worse than Burrell's constant scheming wheeling and dealing bullshit? I guess it depends who you ask.
@@Tweakerbythespeaker Agree with you. I don't think you can stand Valchek and Burrell side by side and have Valchek being the worse of the two. He was pettier, yes, but that kept his reach relatively small. They're all selfish.
sign of a great show is when people talk of the characters like real people, not about the performacnes (because its real) . not about the actor, or the writing- but talk about the guy, stan valchel- like that guys is a douchebag- what a petulant child he is- . thats the sign of a show that crosses entertainment into reality. (applause)
2:04 I love how you can see Burrell close his eyes like, "Goddamnit." He thought he had an easy victory here. Stan's unit overperformed and were going to get him a big headline and even get Rawls his murders. Even with the potentially incriminating brothel hiccup, it seems like this is smooth sailing... right up until Valchek says the words, "Frank Sobotka."
Chad Chadwick It’s because Frank Sabaka was the only guy who wouldn’t kiss his ass and let him be the bully that he is. Frank would cut him down to size and humiliate him, so he had to be dealt with to protect his ego and image
Typical police boss past his prime and should of retired years ago but stays on and they don't know what to do with because he has influential friends.
It’s insane that each one of them, except Daniels and the DA, care about something different. Valchek wants Sebodka, Rawls wants stats to juke, and Daniels just wants to clean up the city.
The worst character was clearly Marlo. He wasn't a drug dealer, he was a psychopath who used the drug game to kill indiscriminately because he got off on it.
The problem with Valchek as a police commander is that he's not in it for enforcing the law, but feeding his own ego and exerting power. The fact that he went to the feds to get to Sobotka and completely fucked over the case illustrates that well enough.
when you look at it neutrally, the detail did some pretty impressive work at that point. They were on their way to clear 14 homicides, made progress on destroying a human trafficking ring and found potential distribution channels for the drug trade
@@patgogan7324 They both wanted to put up a Stain Glass window in their church. But Franks window was put in First & It was Better. Valcheck asks Frank to remove it And Frank tells him to F Off. Valcheck then becomes Obsessed with taking down Frank.
Ervin Burrell was the most qualified to be appointed Commissioner (he was only interim Commissioner in the vid) after Frazier (the actor playing Frazier, Dick Stilwell, died during Season 1) retired. However, the 1st district (which was part of counsel that confers with Mayor Royce over the appointment of the next commissioner) didn't like Burrell. Valchek had suction with the 1st district and could influence them to vouch for Burrell. So despite Burrell outranking Valchek, he needed the latter
What's crazy is that they're telling Valchek that he's inadvertently about to bring in a huge case without having to do any actual work himself and all he can think about is a petty beef. I mean, it's clear that, Frank is in enough that he'd likely feel something behind this but Valchek's just a child.
"Sir, we caught a large cocaine shipment, handguns, Ak-47s, a submarine, 5 murderers, 4 terrorists, 3 spies, and Pablo Escobar's lieutenant", Valchek: "What about Sobotka?
Throughout the show you see how powerful Valchek is but you never see him sitting next to Rawls and Burrell in season three during the briefing room scenes.
i felt narese campbell and office walker were the most hateable characters on the show. literally made my blood boil, along with the junkie who kept robbing bubbles
To Valcheks point he did create the detail for the express purpose of investigating Sobotka , and he made this very clear, and now his underlings have gone on a completely different tangent and are changing the goal post. This is like telling your employee to make ice cream and they come back with oranges. Valchek is petty but his gripes are not without merit.
Valchek is just a brilliant character. Sarcastic & a stick of dynamite ready to explode when things don't go his way,!! Despite having a tongue like a blunt knife..Valchek was always right in what he said.
We had a Valchek-like person where I use to work. He was a rat-bastard who only cared about rank, status-quo, and ego. I heard a theory that some people become cops not to help protect the community, but to control it. They got picked on and didn't have a voice as a kid, so they need to have a badge to have voice. They are pathetic on the inside and have problems making friends. They may make contacts, but they can't make friends because they wouldn't know where to stand in relation to a friend.
"Fuckin' ratfuckers, all o' you!"
No matter how many times I watch the series, this line is a guaranteed laugh.
All the while looking like a rat
People like Valchek and Clay Davis were the real villains of the wire. They are the ones stopping the system from actually doing anything meaningful.
No sense of higher purpose for either of them. Amongst others.
The system favors the status quo. They just recognized how to exploit that when they wanted something.
The sick part is that Frank Sobotka was 10 times the man Valchek was. Frank wasn't a criminal. Valchek abused his power and resources just to tear down a working class union. Valchek is 1000000x worse than Sobotka.
What the system?
Lol idk man
Almost the entire system seems to suck
The government will not save you
to think all of this started over a church window spot smh so sad
money345 atherley Right?
Just somebody trying to prove who had the bigger dick.
Lol
That was just the final straw. There's been bad blood between Sobotka and Valchek for decades.
@@Capcoor and doesn't give a fuck about the victims. people like that are running this country.
The most fucked up part was valcheks window was supposed to be a surprise. All he had to do was talk to the pastor and the whole thing would’ve been avoided

Stiff shot of Jameson every time baby.
What kind of moron drinks 200 shots?
New rule: every time Clay Davis says “shiiiiiiiit” take a shot
im drunk AF on this clip. :P
Everytime Stringer says "Lock that Door."
To this day, Valchek puts his ear to the late night breeze, still trying to hear the name “Frank Sobotka”.
Lol...
The funniest shit was when Sobotka still sent pictures of the stolen police truck from his unit… even after he died

I like him cause he's such a cartoon

That's what I've come to love about this season, the whole investigation is set in motion by nothing more than the sheer pettiness of McNulty and Valchek. It's so scummy it's perfect.
Valchek is one of the greatest two dimensional characters ever.
RIP to Al Brown such a memorable performance on quite possibly the best tv show of all time
Valchek was well acted.
Absolutely agree!
I love this guy haha
He was. Nick Sobotka was not.

Yeah, he was so good I still hate him. It’s 2020.
"couple of complications, nothing we can't write around"

The complications had to do with the undercover officer as I remember. He was outnumbered two to one.

Bek359 probably indicative of what happens the higher up you go. The long metamorphosis into a cunt career politician.
Daniels>
Fair
It’s indicated many times that Rawls is actually a competent police officer and could be as good a detective as McNulty, Freamon or Bunk. It’s just his desire to be the boss that takes the first priority.

Rest In Peace Al Brown (Stan Valchek). All he wanted was to hear about Frank Sobotka. Unfortunately he had to deal with ratf#ckers. Poor guy. He didn't even get his van back.
I just noticed that at :58, he goes, "... if you check the 24s..." and looks at Valchek.
It's the police equivalent of a passive aggressive "as per my previous email" and I LOVE IT.
valchek doesn't read 24s. he does a ctrl F for "FRANK. SOBOTKA" and if there aren't any results he goes back to dusting all his mail for fingerprints.
I love how Valcheck and the Burrel are uncomfortable with the fact they hit a Brothel implying they may have visited one, but Rawls does not care given that he is gay.
Lol
Given how much effort Rawls puts in to appear heterosexual, I wouldn't be suprised if he visited one just to be seen there.
@@BlauRFasan how do you mean? Rawls acts gay all the time! Remember McNulty and his "narrow Irish ass"?
Honesty think people in RUclips comments read way to much into different scenes with Rawls and how he is doing this or that "because he's gay".
@Wesley Stetson it is a common theme though lol
RIP Al Brown and Lance Reddick. :(
I wish the show let us see this guy's daily life, I'd watch an entire season of just him
With that lisp of his? I’d go nuts
Wouldn't it be awful if Valchek became commissioner?
He's probably President by now...
If I recall, he did seem to get a bump up in the series finale montage
He became one of the deputy commissioners
@@LordTalax He became acting commissioner after Daniels stepped down

This is my submission for the "Valchek is the funniest character" argument.
"Fuckin' ratfuckers, all o'you."
Easily the funniest line in the whole damn series.
the writing in this show is beyond sublime.... best ever in my book.
i imagine someone can do sth better some day. so far nothing even close, but some day...david simon deserves recognition like a life time award or sth
I don't know about you but I wasn't hearing the name Frank Sobotca.
I heard it from Valchek a couple of times
In Slavic languages, K is always like in "k", sound of c standalone is something like in "centre", hence Sobotka
*"key"
Sobotka and Valcheck in the same nursing home room would make for a great tv show.
Valchek seemed like the type who wears his uniform at speed dating meet-ups.
Typical police boss past his prime and should of retired years ago but stays on and they don't know what to do with because he has influential friends.
Dont want to spoil it but wait till you see where he ends up.
motioneccentrica Oh I know where he winds up. Unfortunately the series ends there. We don't see where it bites them in the ass.

RIP Mr. Al Brown. Valchek was a great character
"Look Missy"🤣😭
So patronizing lmao
Only thing I will acknowledge about this man. The way he says FRANK SOBOTKA.
Lance Reddick is such a phenomenal actor.
The problem with Valchek as a police commander is that he's not in it for enforcing the law, but feeding his own ego and exerting power. The fact that he went to the feds to get to Sobotka and completely fucked over the case illustrates that well enough.
"Look Missy, this is my detail." That's funny cause that's the thing one he doesn't care about.
I love it how obsessed Valcheck is with Sobotka, but Sobotka hasn’t even thought about him at all
I LIKE THE BIT WHEN HE SAID SOBOTKA
2:52 when I realized the bar I was going to for UFC events was a Patriots bar.
while they were getting yelled out they kept their composure whole time 💯💯
To this day Valcek still gets mail from all over the world with photos of that surveillance truck.
"Fuckin' RAT fuckers! All of 'ya!" has become part of my daily, frustrated curses. Thanks again, Valcheck!
when you look at it neutrally, the detail did some pretty impressive work at that point. They were on their way to clear 14 homicides, made progress on destroying a human trafficking ring and found potential distribution channels for the drug trade

I'll be honest, that comment went over my head
Season 2 is my favourite. The others were good but I wasn't hearing Frank Sebotka in any of them
Frank Sobotka was to Valchek what spiderman was to J Jonah Jameson
One of the best scenes ❤️
Ervin Burrell was the most qualified to be appointed Commissioner (he was only interim Commissioner in the vid) after Frazier (the actor playing Frazier, Dick Stilwell, died during Season 1) retired.
However, the 1st district (which was part of counsel that confers with Mayor Royce over the appointment of the next commissioner) didn't like Burrell. Valchek had suction with the 1st district and could influence them to vouch for Burrell. So despite Burrell outranking Valchek, he needed the latter
Valchek wants Frank Sabotka like J. Jonah Jameson wants pictures of Spiderman.
54 people aren't hearing Frank Sobokta's name here
man the casting on this show was so fucking perfect
I love Valchek. It was a big mistake to underestimate him. Better to placate him and keep him on your side.
"You barely understand this case now; how can it be your case?"
Not a day goes by that I don't call someone a "rat fucker".

Nah. Marlo, Chris, and Snoop.
OsefKincaid Valcheck or Clay Davis???
Imagine how angry Valchek will be when he finds out Nick Sabotka is the Master Chief. Spinning so fast he can probably light a city.
Avon still wants his corners, Stan wants Sobotka(which ironically is a word derived from 'freedom').
To Valcheks point he did create the detail for the express purpose of investigating Sobotka , and he made this very clear, and now his underlings have gone on a completely different tangent and are changing the goal post. This is like telling your employee to make ice cream and they come back with oranges. Valchek is petty but his gripes are not without merit.
Of course you would say that Avon.
RIP Al Brown
He doesn't have a single bone in his body that actually cares about police work.

oh wow lol, when I was a kid, that was one of the reasons I wanted to become a cop. I eventually grew up from that mind set lol
word is, to this day, hes still asking about Frank....Sobotka.
That's what I was thinking, if Rawls is the best police you have in command, you know there's something fucked up in the system.
That guy who played Valchek is such inspired casting
Frank Sobotka was my favorite character
Burrell’s name is on the list
It says "comment removed by author" which means someone had to do it from your account. I know I didn't remove it anyway.
Rip Al Brown, the actor playing Valcheck.
"fuckin rat fuckers, all of ya..." LMMFAO
Look Missy...lol gotta love Valchek.
Valchek is a good example of what is wrong with police today. Particularly the brass.
Rawls is having an absolute blast sitting in there silently while everyone else is being roasted by Valchek.
R.I.P. to Al Brown. God Rest Ye. 🤎
valcheck and rawls are my 2 favorites on the force....such great characters, i miss this show....
Al Brown passed away today, may he hear Frank Sobotkas name somewhere in the afterlife.
Its wierd that the scene between Sobodka and Valchek isnt uploaded, my fav scene in the whole series.
I see the title and the only thing I could ask is "which time?"
