The Wire - After Stringer's Found
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- The opening of the Season 3 finale in which Stringer Bell's murder is investigated and McNulty disappointed in knowing he had finally caught Bell on the wire without his knowledge. (Season 3, Episode 12 "Mission Accomplished")
This scene is an excellent example of how "The Wire" understood that less is more. On your average police drama, the scene with Stringer's body would be packed with dialogue. I love how the camera just sits with McNulty in silence; it says everything that needs to be said.
This show was one great scene after another.
Great observation
fr
SheeeeeeeeeeeIT.
Doesnt get better than this
This scene really reveals the unhealthy addiction McNulty has with his work. He's just as much an addict as Bubbles. And just like Bubbles, McNulty's addiction destroys his life.
Not with his work, with himself. He doesn't care that the work is done, he cares that he outwitted his opponent and can't satisfy his personal ego by making Bell know he lost.
@@KafkaDatura but he also felt bad that stringer had died, in a way they had a healthy competition and had some sort of connection build throughout his years. He rather would’ve had string put in jail then see him dead
Bubbles was always borderline and he showed he could quit honestly mcnulty and kima kept him on drugs for work purposes
Yeah it is kind of crazy though. He was on it too much. That's why he felt it what he did
nope. His addiction is the only thing that made him redeemable, for a time. That is the point that Freemon tries to make, "the case won't save you." Bunk explains this in another ciip: "without a case, Jimmy is just an irish drunk fuck up. But on a case...He's pretty much the same guy...but....."
the point that is made with jimmy is very complex. You can be good at something, have a natural instinct, and you may even be exemplary in your skills, but in the end that thing will NOT save you. You need to have a sense of inner peace, focus, something that balances you out outside of that case. It really is the case of being a junkie. but not all addictions are the same.
Stringer was the only person to outsmart McNulty in every way, that's why McNulty was so pissed and disappointed cause finally he got him, but it was too late cause he's dead and he would never get to enjoy it
Juda Martinez with the decline if avon and strings relationship strings death was timed perfectly
Juda Martinez oz was my shit. Main characters have to die off whether hated or loved. Things get a bit redundant after awhile and I agree with you oz had to grow so IMO it was just as good after his death
Juda Martinez oz was groundbreaking it pushed the envelope even for cable. Adebesi had to die how could a series have the same antagonist throughout the entire series? A show has to reinvent itself. I've been waiting for oz to come on demand or at least aired again. After years went by I gave up. I don't buy DVD's because after I watch them once I never watch them again. Oz and the wire will never get their full due because when it comes down to it mainstream America has no interest in the inner workings of prisons nor inner city crime unless its Mafioso. Doesn't matter how good the show is
Juda Martinez I liked the sopranos but the writing was no where near as good as in oz and the wire. America is infatuated with the mafia from an entertainment standpoint. I've been watching clips of both shows and even though I've scene every wire clip like 5x every time I see something I missed before. It truly was a special show with so many dynamic characters. Sopranos wasn't as fulfilling imo
Juda Martinez no offense to anyone but sopranos appeals to white america more than the wire and oz do. If you haven't already watch "the corner" that as well is pretty good its on yt. Lamar was the true life character in that show which actually passes away a couple years ago.
I love that McNulty's investigation into D's death causes a chain reaction that leads to Stringer dying, but he thinks he failed to catch him. It's such intricate writing it's unreal.
Totally unrelated
@@jancarlosmanon4556 not really
Wait, how? What led to Stringer's death, was that he turned Omar and Brother Mouzone onto each other
@@joedorben3504 McNulty's enquiries into D's death directly lead to Avon selling out Stringer to Omar and Mouzone. Otherwise Avon would have fought to the death for him. The irreparable rift between Avon and String comes about because of McNulty's digging. Otherwise, as McNulty points out, noone else cared enough to ask questions.
@@joedorben3504 chain reaction means it started a bunch of stuff that led to this, think about it
"I caught him Bunk... On the wire, I caught him. And he doesn't fucking know it." I don't know why I always loved that line. It's pure irony.
ayWusgod that's one of my favorite lines. It's pure gold.
ayWusgod McNulty didn't get the satisfaction of arresting Stringer like Valchek got the satisfaction of arresting Sobotka.
That line is a metaphor for all of Jimmy's policework.
but at the end of the day another dealer steps up as boss and everyone gets a promotion.
Capcoor did you mean Valchek arresting Sobotka?
Stringer died in a vacant. After years of hustling to make it out and go legit. He dies among the discarded. Like Marla said, "No matter where you go, there you are."
Avon called the Shot. It was either NY or String.. he chose NY. Hell Mouzoune probably would have went after him if he would have refused the hit. Then the thought of his Nephew, that sealed the lid.
that wasnt a vacant. its a downtown development
Kory Green
“No matter where you go there you are” it was actually a line out of “Mad Max Beyond thunder dome”Good wasn’t it?
@@mikeymc3094 Treach used it on "Uptown Anthem," too.
@@mikeymc3094 Well i heard it as a Confusious quote, but as far as movies it was "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension". That came out before Thunderdome..been forever since i seen Thunderdome, will have to go back and watch it.
Mcnulty is the only person who mourned Stringers passing.
dont forget D'Angelo's bitch crying like a bitch too
@@goldensperm7182 alright let's see how you handle your SO's passing. Better not cry, because apparently that makes you a bitch.
@@mastod0n1 it’s a show. Chill out lol
he never mourned stringer he's just mad he didn't get to hang him for what he did to D...McNulty liked that boy
@@MaderRodriguez lmao
Mcnulty and Chris felt the same way when their enemies died. They didn’t catch them first.
Chris could never catch Omar tbh. Chris apparently had military training and flanked his victims along with snoop, but he only went after weak enemies and caught them by surprise. Marlo was a psycho who killed people for nothing just to stroke his own fragile ego and Chris was his enforcer. But Omar was a league above. If that little kid didn't kill him, Omar would've gotten to Marlo and Chris
I think the look Chris gave when he found out Omar died was relief, cause he knew his own family was safe, and also he had respect for Omar, his reputation. Chris killed children, so he knew Omar could come for his own family too because of that, that's why he was hiding and worried
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Chris ain't never kill no children what are you talking about
@@mikesistrunk6545 When Chris kills June Bug, a kid runs out who Michael doesn’t shoot and another kid is later found in the house crying. There’s no clear way of knowing whether like Michael the other two purposely left the kids. Perhaps they did as you’d think they’d be able to find the hiding kid who was crying.
However, you’d also think if Marlo ordered everyone dead then they probably would have. Perhaps Chris wouldn’t as he has a bit of a soft spot for children, in terms of being a sexual abuse victim. Michael not shooting the kid might be there to reinforce the point he’s not as ruthless as Chris and Snoop, which is still true even if the other two wouldn’t have shot the kids.
Kinda telling with Jimmy that he says, "I caught him Bunk. On the wire, I caught him. And he doesn't fucking know it." It was always all about Jimmy.
Yup. Not even "we" caught him.
McNulty playing chess with Stringer and gets SO close to winning is like nearly winning and the whole chess board falls to the floor after someone knocks into it.
McNulty's broken because he had such high hopes for them.
press f to pay your respects. f
I see what you did there
*Laughs knowingly"Have a good day... officer" 😁
He had such fuckin' hopes for them
Ahah 👌
This scene shows just how similar McNulty and Partlow were. Neither of them were as concerned about the demise of their opponents as they were about being the ones to lay claim to it.
You talking about the scene in Season 5 where Marlo tell Chris and Snoop that Omar got killed, and Chris look disappointed as hell.
Yeah It was the little things like that, that made the Wire the greatest show ever.
Precisely! When Marlo told Chris about Omar (and especially how it was a kid who did it), you can tell he was deflated. McNulty was the same way in this scene. I'm with you, homey. Years later, this show still goes down as one of the all-time greats.
lol Wire fanboys will read something into anything.
O-H-I-O just fucking with you, looking forward to the game this year, may the best team win, for real. All respect
Lockard The GOAT go away
I love the line "there is a whole lot of campaign contributions sitting on the back of that ambo."
There is also a great exchange in the episode where someone asked how McNulty took the news Kima responds.
"Like Stringer was kin."
iandhr1 I thought he said hambone lol
That line was funny lol
I literally lol’d when Kima said that cause it’s super true
I feel like all of these the wire clips on youtube should end with the intro song starting to kick in
Stringer got the last laugh. McNulty realized he didn't understand the way Stringer thought and he was left unsatisfied by Stranger's death. Perfect.
Awfully hard to laugh after gaining ten pounds in lead.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy Why? His worries are over. McNulty's has just begun.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy he definitely won war against Mcnulty
@@sumoniall the bodies he was responsible I'd have to say (since I'm religious) that the ones problems that were truly starting were stringers. An eternal problem if ya know what I mean.
lol, Bell wasn’t worrying about no damn McNulty.
Bubbles always called him Mcnutty.
Bro just straight up starts breathing normally at 2:03
That's methane building up in his body. Bravo David
its the 20,000 termites and maggots under his coat
@@habdman real?
Lmfao you're right! Horrible job Simon!
The reason is they didn't really killed Idris Elba. He only played dead for the scene.
"I caught him... and he doesn't fucking know it."
this is the moment that shows that McNulty isn't all about work but also his personal ego. Being constantly outsmarted by stringer was the reason what kept him going after him and finally after multiple confrontations directly and indirectly he almost caught string just to find out that even in death stringer didn't let McNulty get him. Jimmy feared stringer, he badly wanted to get him, but seeing stringer dead on the ground made Jimmy sad because he had some mutual respect for string and he did knew him sort of quite well
no dude, you COMPLETELY MISREAD the scene. This is about McNutty's EGO: He wanted to beat him, and stringer died and took the satisfaction out of it. Mcnutty is so fucking addicted to being RIGHT and winning and outsmarting that he wanted to rub it in stringers face.... now he cant./
@@Supersquigi he wanted to rub it in stringers face but he wanted to catch him and take him to prison to rub it in his face. But seeing him dead was unexpected and it kinda made him sad
One of the most ironic things about this whole scene is that it was McNulty who really caused Stringer to be killed by investigating D'Angelo's death.
what caused Stringer to die was that he tried to get Omar and Brother Mouzone to kill each other
bill belichick a stone cold witness
Somehow he missed all of Aaaron Hernandez's murders and claimed a BNBG did the deeds instead.
lmao
Death was always one step ahead of McNulty. Every time he got close, the one he was going for or trying to turn got killed. Stringer, Bodie, and a couple of other names I forget. Been so long since the show been on.
D'Angelo
Wallace too
PG-13 Damn lol
Xx xX I am63 years of age and been saying this since I was 22 year old then I was just a bit screwed up on my way of thinking now I have some thing there It only took 40 years for the people to get it to many bodies
Bodie was never a target, McNulty liked him. If I remember correct, he wanted to turn him.
For McNulty it was never about putting away bad guys. It was about proving that he was smarter than everyone else. He lost the opportunity to flaunt his superiority over Stringer and that was his biggest regret about the case.
THIS actually brought Rawls and Forrester out of the office. Could it be because the witness is a "somebody," or is it because the crime happened in a zip code that matters?
Both.
I agree. Both.
@ on my third watch, I noticed that too. Subtle
"There is a whole lot of campaign contributions sitting on the back of that ambo."
They answered your question in the video.
Both
The guy at 2:00 is NOT Stringer Bell. He's that "Westside guy with a pretty health rap sheet."
And Thats not wut he was wearing when he was killed...He had a cream 3 button collard sweater.....smh!!
Maybe they were talking about his bodyguard.
no shit, he is the first guy they shot, Stringer's muscle, on the first floor. Then the scene transitions to Stringer's body on the next floor with Kima and Jimmy already there. Why do you all state the obvious? lol
Yes, that is the guy who was with Stringer and whom Omar killed with one shot. Stringer ran up to the next floor, where he was shot twice by Omar (and twice by Brother Mouzone), hence the photographer saying "two more like it upstairs".
I don't even know what is the point of your comment.
*sigh* My man McNulty. His ego took a nasty hit this scene BUT I LOVE how this drags over to the 5th season to the extent that he goes to take down Marlo. The level of extreme that he goes to, clearly stems from this loss.
Haha yeah makes sense. Right on
You were good in Fantastic 4 and Creed.
wait does anyone else notice from about 2:00 to 2:20 hes breathing
This is something they didn't notice before they got into editing, as i can recall. They have fixed some of it in the HD version, using CGI.
YES!!! WOW bad editing.
***** 5-0 5-0
Good eye! Bad edit.
Michael Vale that isnt stringer its his bodygaurd its just a confusing cut to stringers body
I really loved the relationship that bunk and Mcnulty had with each other it was soild.
Until McNulty went insane in the final series
yeah there relationship in the final season was annoying
This is like Batman vs Joker. McNulty and Stringer, they have their lifes but they're always there to fight the other. Bell dies, McNulty ends up with a hole.
I like how Kima just stands against the wall.
She's about that action and can't wait to go after the next big player in the game with McNulty (Marlo)
@@viewmaster617 She doesn't seem that restive there to me
@@Onigirli She said in a episode of she hears the music she's gonna dance meaning of the smoke comes she's ready for it
I like to believe that McNulty and Stringer had a connection. Not quite friends but not quite enemies either
Worthy adversaries?
1:37 the deceased is a stunt double lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmao thats so funny
Firstly the fact he actually looks like String but only when he's upside down secondly why couldn't they Just use idris there
I just realised actually they're supposed to be different people
It appears strings respiratory system didn't get the memo he was dead. Hes been dead for a few hours and he's still breathing. Either ems needs a retrain or maybe Chris was the zombie master
that wasn't stringer at first it was his body guard
this coment so funny haha
McNulty's meaning and purpose in life came from catching this dude and he just ended up dying.
I still don't know if that conversation they tapped on Stringer would've really been enough for conspiracy to commit murder.
Gangster: Those hitters you asked about? They cool with it.
Stinger: Not on the phone.
Still seems too vague for me to actually get him a significant sentence. Levy would've fought it tooth and nail.
It wasn't just the phone call. They've building up evidence for most of the season. The phone call connected it all together.
that call was the final piece..
"I caught him Bunk... On the wire, I caught him. And he doesn't fucking know it."
The best quote from the wire because this isn’t the only time this happened. Season 3 in tv shows always expresses the full circle of the the previous seasons. This was one of dem

Just like Vito!
That's what Vito did😂
@@nvkulk Let's take this in the back
Art Vandelay You can go!
Interesting. He died the same way Wallace did.
He didn't hate him. He just wasn't satisfied catching the small fries. He wanted the gratification of catching a worthy adversary, a kingpin like Stringer.
McNulty sittin there like a conflicted child at a funeral lol
At 3:11 the telephone pole obscures the second “B” in B Enterprises. Avon sacrificed his queen, Stringer (the second B) and their long time friendship/partnership is over
David Liang you're reaching very far
I think that’s a good reach. Director sliding that in there, possibly
Barksdale & Bell Enterprises... its not too far off, directors like to hide stuff.
@@khobarkastenglish5029 if you see jist after that Bunk lights his cigar with one flick and Mcnulty looks at it for two seconds all the while Kima is looking at Stringers body with an angle of 45degrees so all that added up with the temperature of the room and time of day i can say that i don't know what the fuck im on about.
@@cookinwitp0ppin331 i think u dont understand how shooting a scene works. everything is intentional.
In a show that puts so much emphasis on "getting there early", McNulty was always too late... 😕
Captain Ahab finally got his white whale but is upset, someone got to him first!
McNulty, Kima, & Lester had Omar on all types of shit to put him away, but they let him run around keeping their division in the red
"I caught him Bunk"
Lol please, McNulty didn't catch him, if anything Lester did.
Not really. Are you forgetting who took Judge Phelan out to lunch and got him to authorize the wiretap on Stringer? That would be McNulty, with Rhonda Pearlman there as well.
Lester sits around listening to phone calls.
@@CGoody564
Rhonda is the one who got it done. Phelan had a thing for Rhonda so he was always gonna approve it as long as she was involved lol. McNulty was just there
Beyond that ..Lester is the one who came up with the plan for the wire
Mcnulty was pissed when stringer died and he didn’t catch him just like Chris was mad when Omar got killed and Chris didn’t get his trophy
He was headed to Asgard
Best opening scene, on the best season of the best TV show ever made...
This modern day adaptation of Herman Melville's Moby Dick is great. McNulty is Captain Ahab, obsessed with Stringer Bell. McNulty enjoyed the chase. That someone caught the whale before him really angered him.
WELL GET ON WIT IT MUF
-String
The show was so freaking awesome Tho! I love how it showed real police work…Super authentic!
Without Stringer, McNulty's life had no purpose. I mean seriously, what else does he have going on in his life?
Bingo. No other reason to get out of bed. Or be sober.
Until Marlo took Stringer place for McNulty
At least he had Crabs on the boat..
he had alot ov pussy going for him tbf to him.
That’s a cop mentality with McNalty.hes got a hard on for the fact that stringer didn’t know he was about to close in on him
Yea I hated McNulty he wasn’t for reform or uprooting community like Colvin or cutty just a bitch ass cop who has hard on for putting people in cages that outsmart him
I know ya'll see his stomach moving as he's breathing at 2:04
I just peep that after all these years😂😂😂
WT Just saw it 😂😂😂😂😂
Baltimore can't afford the ambo, so they just let his ass bleed out, SOP for BNBG's back then.. or the mofo was smart , wore a vest, and just got up and walked out the mourge a free man on the 'act of god" clause...
The chest movement may also have been Omar and the brother pumping more shots into him from the Basement, just doing it quietly.. they were that hard..
This scene is pure gold but the breathing corpse always steals the show XD
It's just something about this scene give me chills everytime..
I had to check and see if Barlow was chalking him up. He said he would after DeAngelo's acquittal in S1E1. With the detail of this show, I was almost sure I'd see it :)
I love how stringer is still laying there breathing
Love the way Kima's chilling in the cut straight gangster lol
Fun fact- in the script Omar was supposed to piss on Stringer's dead body after they shot him, but Idris Elba was too proud and wouldn't go with it. They were going to make a waxwork or whatever then piss on that, they could have used it for this scene too so you wouldn't have seen a live man breathing
2:05 Where the paramedics at, I think he's still alive!
I love how this season uses disappointment as its ending theme. Everyone is so close to resolving the real problems in the city. Hampsterdam was allowing resources to be funneled to addiction and Stringer was making the game peaceful. Yet, everything falls apart in the last episodes and because of intersecting egos everyone is worse off than before.
The first body does not look like Stringer. But the second one does
2:04 😂😂😂 u can see the body still breathing if u really watching 😮💨 😂😂😂
I was just watching the part where Stringer is shot and trying to think what Bunk called it when the witnesses said what he saw. Really funny Bunk added alot of laughter to this show
I love the excellent cinematography at 3:04. Showing only one B left out from B&B Enterprises.
You can clearly see the corpse breathing at 2:01
Damn it... I know exactly how McNulty feels... I was arguing through youtube comments with a guy about Trump... and i he didn't get notified cuz of the youtube's comment algorithim.... i crushed him... and he doesn't even know it...
💀💀💀💀
McNulty was upset that Stringer didn’t know McNulty caught him. But McNulty didn’t know that Omar told Stringer that Avon gave him up before he killed him. That had to hurt Stringer more.
This wasnt even the same room he was killed on. He was a few floors up. This clearly shows him on the ground level as you can see the car parked outside. Small thing i noticed
B.N.B.G. must be law enforcement standard for case files. 😂😂😂😂
Bro was still breathing on the floor look closely 😂😂😂
😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂
"I caught him Bunk. On wire, I caught him. And he doesn't fucking know it"
@NicolasYates Stringer was McNulty's obsession throughout the whole series of The Wire, Stringers death devastated him because he was too late in arresting him after he implicated himself on the wiretap.
Mcnulty is an amazing character
To McNulty, it's always about McNulty.
Jimmy sitting there sulking like a little boy who’s favorite toy was taken away.
That's not Stringer in the first body shot. He got shot upstairs and the interior looks different from upstairs. Also, you can see the parked police car on the left, just above the body.
Ohhhhh
damn this show is the best ever i miss it so much
It's great but not best ever.
McNulty would give his kids to see the look on Stringer's face when he arrests him.
Mcnulty slumped by the window looking all solemn looks like he just lost a relative lol
The guy breathing wasn't Stringer that was one of his men.
Exactly. Although it's still pretty bad once you're aware of it, I don't know how nobody caught that.
Are we supposed to believe he has a pair of magic lungs? I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
Bunk Respected That Well Propertied Man And McNulty Basically Wanted To Bust Him So Bad. Like Kima Said "He Cried Lime He Was Kin" .We All Miss This Show
Why Do People Talk Like This
Im my humble opinion, the greatest series of all time.
@Whatisright What I mean by caught him is, they caught him on the wire tap. Obviously they didn't get the chance to arrest him, but they did have enough to implicate him as part of a drug conspiracy. That occured before this scene.
2:01 dead body is clearly breathing here 😂. How did you all miss this?
THANK YOU! Everyone here is posting deep and meaningful evaluations of the scene and I’m just thinking…erm, he’s still breathing lol
You think that's the worst? How about the fact that the person ain't even Idris Elba? Don't look anything alike.
These old videos wont let me think first of a good comment .. just go straight playing the next vid
Idris Elba you have Academy Award winning potential. Excellent Actor, wait for great roles
OOOOOF
"I'll be chalking you off, one of these days."--McNulty to Stringer, season 1
He didn’t say that. The other officer in the courtroom did.
R jr Santangilo if memory serves ...
At 2:00 you can literally see the guy breathing Imao
I always thought when they showed stringers face laying dead upside down it looked off
Why does bunk give his ballistics instruction to the photographer? Is that part of his job?
When Bunk analyses the cartridges the body can be seen breathing slightly.
Christ, that McNulty is one vain SOB.
All this scene is missing is a “You happy now, bitch?” from Bunk.
After killing avons nephew he had to go
mcnulty really made stringers death about him not suprising but still hilarious " i got him and he doesn't even f***ing know it " LoL 😁🤣
Still breathing and it's not even him!
shit it ain't Idris man !
Two different shirts god dammit! Not the same dude!
I know this is an old comment but remember Stringer had a soldier with him who Omar shot first, then Stringer ran upstairs and was cut off by Mouzone before being shot by them both. That's why the photographer goes "two more like it upstairs" when Bunk picks up the casing, and why they've got different shirts on. McNulty and Kima are with Stringer's body.
Just noticed the dead body was breathing in and out lol
From 2:01 to 2:10 roughly you can see the actor that played Stringer Bell, or stunt double, breathing on the floor.
