Attention: I do not own the rights to this video and do not wish to take credit for them. Everything in the video is property of HBO. I am just a fan trying to spread the awesomeness of the greatest television show ever.
Thank you to HBO, David Simon and everybody else that played a part in the creation of The Wire.
Other cop shows: "Let's all work together and do our jobs to catch the bad guys !"
The Wire:
Homicide was doing it first, admittedly.
@@ShadowSonic2 Both done by David Simon
Other shows idealize the police. The wire tells it like it is
The Wire is not a cop show, it’s drama based on life in Baltimore.
The Shield (but no f-words)
"You have my attention. My complete and undivided attention."
Something no subordinate wants to hear from his boss's boss.
You forgot to add the “🖕🏾😡🖕🏾” 🤣🤣
This is one of those lines that 99% of the time means your life is about to become hell. 1% though it means you're entering a completely new world of heaven.
I could care less with my boss..any boss doing this is an abusive pig and scumbag
"Sit the fuck down" is my favorite conversation starter ever.
👍
Put your ass on the chair
sit your ass down in that chair
This is the most artistic and poetic way I've ever seen anyone giving someone else the middle fingers
And I think, the most rhetorical and reasonable, as well
I love this scene because it shows McNulty acting innocent and pretending not to know what would happen. Rawls sees right through his BS.
It aint hard , he was a detective too once upon a time, and the politic he had to play to reach that position tells his wisdom.
Funny thing is: the first time i saw this scene, i just thought: "What an asshole" - meaning Rawls. But now i am rather like: "Actually Rawls is right in a way." McNulty really IS kind of disloyal here. Rawls might be crude, but basically he has a point.
@@mrhoplite2931 Yes it is the classic decision every character on the show must make. Do I do the right thing ("play the game for myself"), knowing the consequences? Or, do I do the thing that the institution wants me to do, knowing that may be the path to personal prosperity, but may morally compromise me?
A lot of this stuff went over my head the first few times, but watching now, I ain’t never laughed so hard🤣. Mcnulty is a jackass but he’s funny
I’m rewatching. at first, he doesn’t know. He didn’t expect the judge to name drop him.
How they did this without breaking down in hysterical laughter is beyond me, brother.
Mrius86 they probably did
😂😂😂
They probably did after the director screamed "cut"
This was probably the tenth take
@@raulbetancourt5795 Or before, after the 12th take
I think this scene is right when you fall in love with the The Wire
Literally the first episode lol
It was for me anyway, the dialogue is incredible
Yea before I was like ehh this seems ok but this scene got me hooked for the rest of the show lol
The deputy likes dots... Classic. Every scene with McNulty and Rawls is gold
I fell in love and is giving hipo, all at the same time.
" these are for you McNulty, for as long as it takes to get even"....I love how score-settling was such an integral part of Rawls's professional drive
lol He really was McNulty’s ass the entire series! I think he tried to be nice to McNulty once but he was really like, “Fuck McNulty!”
"No, no, dont 'Major' me, you backstabbing, smart ass piece of shit"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
hard day for rawls 😂😂😂
Rawls is good police because he doesn't mince words. The only time I hated him was when he did Bunny Colvin dirty but he HAD to because he would lose respect of his men. Plus he got political heat because of Hamsterdam. Rawls is not at all and evil man.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Rawls is arguably worse than evil. Douchebags like Burrell and Valchek were never real police to begin with, they were just born hacks. Rawls on the other hand is sharp as a tack, knows his chops, and was probably a great detective once upon a time just like McNulty. But instead of using his skills to do some good for the city, he chose to play the rotten career-climbing political game. He threw away all his gifts in favor of money and power.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 not true. Like most in high positions he likely expected to do good but succumbed to broken systems. He does try to do good but a man in his position cannot simply make the rules up as he goes along like Lester and McNulty. Is he perfect? No. But he isn't corrupt.
*_"I'm sorry major, really"_*
No he wasn't, lol!
To be fair, I think he was sorry this time. I don't think he did this intentionally to get his boss in trouble with his boss's boss. It was just collateral damage because McNulty didn't figure talking this shit to Phelan was going to turn into Rawls getting reamed by Burrell, he just thought faeries would descend and magically set up a wiretapping detail.
Now, after this, McNulty would become very un-sorry. But this particular apology I think was legitimate.
He was sorry he got caught being extra.
@@oceandark3044 Yeah, I used to think McNulty was just sarcastically saying sorry, but looking back, this might be the first trigger in the "fuck the bosses" mentality that he has throughout the show since.
somrtimes i pity major rawls all this season 😂😂😂
Not at all
"You have my attention. My complete and undivided attention." I say this to my cat when he starts scratching up the furniture
Jesus fucking christ, give him a break will ya!
Are you flipping it off while saying this?
One of the best character establishing scenes ever produced. You learn two essential things about Rawls that define his character throughout the entire series. 1: he's a complete asshole. 2: He's always the smartest guy in the room. We spend the 15 minutes leading up to this scene watching McNulty bullshit everyone and get away with it. Then when Rawls calls him on it he tries to blame the whole thing on the judge, and it takes Rawls two seconds to respond with those middle fingers again.
It aint that hard boy
@@Meshuggapeth Because it was politically inconvenient and made the Department look bad. Not because he thought it wasn't true.
Solid analysis.
Rawls clearly respected McNulty's talents but knew his ego was way more wreckless. Rawls was very happy in the prequel when he brought Jimmy to homicide. This is also why Landsman goes to bat for Jimmy and says how he gave him EIGHT clearances, including a John Doe decomp floater. That is amazing. Rawls gave Jimmy many chances.
@@Meshuggapeth I disagree. Rawls had serious game as a cop but decided to make rank instead, probably with good intentions. He really showed his skill when Kima was shot and he cleared the scene and got directly on top of it. He really shines in that episode.
I watched The Affair before The Wire, and I can't believe how long it took me to remember that Rawls is McNulty's father-in-law on The Affair.
He hated McNulty on The Affair as well.
Don't watch The Affair, it's bad for you.
and the funniest thing about this is Rawls still got them middle fingers up!
Would have been great if Rawls flipped off McNulty when he was being chewed out for the homeless murders in the last season
this scene is brilliant, so underrated. The guy that plays Rawls (forgot his name) was awesome here
John Doman. He's amazing in Borgia as well
His best 2 scenes in this series is when Keema gets shot
Rawls has some great scenes
He is also on The Boys
He's always awesome. Rawls is definitely one of the good guys and has a very hard job where he doesn't make many friends
This is one of the funniest scenes in the entire series.
Love how McNulty had the names, dates, places of all the crimes whereas Rawls had to use cards, and even then he didn't get it all right.
That's because he's been working on the crew and all the info is fresh in his head. Rawls needs the cards because he runs the whole command. Can't remember the 100s-1000s of names of ALL of the detectives' victims
Well to be fair to Rawls, he had to go upstairs to the deputy without having prior knowledge of what was going on. McNulty had already done his research.
@@MrRiddleAW Yeah he had to go upstairs and STILL didn't get it all right, knowing in advance that he'd be having this confrontation. Shitty work.
@@halwakka504 and he explains why. It’s a prior year case. Nobody gives a fuck- and nobody is prepared for that.
Jimmy actually worked the cases, Rawls isn't actually out there doing the police work, and he's overseeing more than just Jimmy/those cases
This scene is actually way better the second time you go through the series.
Every scene is way better the second time you go through this series
@@louiev1833 extra boring
absolutely. it lacks context the first time and seems exagerrated because we are not yet familiar with the city, its systems, the characters etc.
This scene is so accurate as to how a detective bureau works that it's terrifying.
"I'm sorry Major, really".... that you found out and are having me type up a report when i would normally be boozing.
What a missed opportunity for McNulty to say his catchphrase: "What the fuck did I do?"...
He tried to but got cut off lol
It was an implied "what the fuck did I do?" in this scene
I wouldn’t be able to face a boss like Rawls and not laugh 😂. Rawls and Jimmy were gold
My god... This show is just the best
Rawls owes his entire career to McNulty and never acknowledged it.
How exactly?
@@hardik2806 Rawls and the rest of the leadership took credit from the very high profile cases that McNulty brought to the squad.
@@hardik2806 The Season 1 Barksdale detail closed about 10-15 open murders bringing the unit clearance rate way up. They did it again in Season 2 with the 15 dead girls. Rawls' high murder clearance rate is directly a result of McNulty and the rest of the Major Crimes unit.
To be fair, Rawls was already a Major and in command of Homicide without McNulty. So, not quite his "entire" career.
@@MrErizid Ok. So if we want to include before the show then we should include Lester as well. He owes his career to them.
One of my favourite scenes. This was the first scene with Rawls i just knew i was going to love his character
Can’t just be me who spat my drink out when I saw Rawls in the bar 🤣
Best reveal of a character in a scene, in the history of television. Period. (or should I say "little dot")
Up in the club!
@@gfunkmadness take it easy, we're not making a western here
Did he offer to buy you another?
It was his blood pressure medicine!
The Wire was a realistic take on bureaucracy in these institutions.
lol great actors everytime i watch rawls on the wire i can't help but remember the guy playing him is caesar in fallout new vegas and swears just as much as he does
Ik I’m 10 years late but holy shit I’ve watched this show so many times and played thru fallout nv more times than that and have NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE…… that’s an insane piece of film/video game lore that makes me love this show and fallout nv even more lmaooo
This guy sounds like he is about to seize Hoover Dam and put Vegas to the sword.
“Sit the fuck down, courier”
In the typical cliche cop TV show, the Rawls would be thanking McNulty here and helping him get Avon.
But the Wire...the Wire isn't your typical TV show.
Nah, the asshole Chief was already an old thing by the time of the Wire.
@@ShadowSonic2 Yea it has been a pretty common cliche in movies and tv shows for decades.
@@ShadowSonic2 - Rawls wasn't always an asshole. And when he was, you understood exactly why he was an asshole. McNulty basically took a big dump on his department in this scene and made Rawls look absolutely incompetent. I'd be pissed too.
@@mijreed Oh yeah, after thinking about it I understood WHY Rawls was so pissed.
Let's be honest, there are two clichéd "police captain" modes: the good-man you mention, and the "GIVE ME YOUR GUN AND YOUR BADGE!" by-the-book asshole. It's great credit to The Wire that Rawls is neither of them, and yet he's both: he cracks down on McNulty most of the time, but then he plays his own games "upstairs", and when the chips are down (Keema etc) you see him back to being "POW-lice". In short, he's not just a caricature.
Rawls: These are for you, McNulty
McNulty: They're lovely.
*awkward silence*
😂😂😂
"Toss me my salad, Caesar!!"
"Toss my salad, Caesar!"
Ave, True to Caesar
0:58 would like to hear David Simon's commentary on this part.
Rawls, Freamon and McNulty are probably the 3 smartest police in the show.
@Douche Monkey Jay Landsman screwed the pooch royally in the port case by failing to alert Daniels about a homicide that had obvious links to the docks.
Bunk?
Rawls and Lester are the smartest. Lester and crew literally school McNulty in season 3 I believe when they are trying to get stringer’s number.
Prez and Freeman was the smartest. Prez broke the pager codes just by staring at them. He was just horrible in the field.
Rawls? Really
Rawls found out Jimmy had a bet on the Niners.
His English accent is so apparent in this scene.
You should see his Italian accent in punisher warzone. So bad lol
@@OlderG0ds That was Italian? I thought it was supposed to be a Jersey accent.
Schlock Jocks Italian American gangster. So it could be Jerseyish
It gets better over time, but it was really apparent in the first few episodes of the first season.
1:55 lol
Someone needs to put a laugh track on this ASAP
How dare you make me do my job!
@@CheerfullyCynical829 Wrong
He was a smart cop though. Sure had a lot of potential, it’s too bad he got wrapped up in the stats game
when i first watched the series i'm pretty sure this was the scene that i realized this show was gonna be fucking incredible
I remember watching this, and nearly dying from the laughter! One of the greatest written, shows ever!
McNulty alwayz remembers what the boss doesn't. Champion of the downstairs
This is how everyone secretly wishes that meetings with the boss go down when they're know they're in trouble going in. Just straight and to the point.
I love this scene!
I've rewatched this scene about a hundred times today, guess it's just that kind of day, fuck Coronavirus.
Its Haegelian Dialectics McNulty
You have my attention, Detective.
"Put your ass in the chair."
Ceaser really rocks that suit
😂 This scene is such a Goku/Vegeta moment
Is that some anime crap?
Thank you
When I first started watching The Wire, this was the scene when I knew I would love this show
McNutty takes his two fingers very well, he is a very likeable character in the wire.
You sees these mcnulty 😂😂😂
Damn he waited after hours to fuck with McNulty. You know that's when your boss is pissed he stays late to rip you a new one.
Fuck, here I go again on a Wire binge ....
Rawls = Ser Alliser from GoT
McNulty = Jon Snow
Another goddamn poor game of thrones reference. How the fuck is Mcnulty's lion, dishonest ass Jon Snow? Cause he's the protagonist? Your way off base.
@@truethat15 I was referring more to the relationship between the two rather than to their individual personalities. Ser Alliser had it in for Jon Snow in much the same way that Rawls had it in for McNulty. Now, if we're just focusing on things like personality and character arc, I guess Jon Snow would probably be closest to Cedric Daniels.
Mcnulty and Rawls could’ve had their own show together
They played In Laws in another show
So good
Hahahaha and so it begins😁Love this show!
“Something wrong” 😂
Ave Caesar!
Rawls had no idea what McNulty was capable of or how far he was willing to go 😂😂😂
I don't know why but Rawls reminds me of Alliser Thorne from GoT.
Never noticed rawls dropping a hard R
To be honest I really wouldn’t feel a way having rawls as a boss cause this would’ve had me dying 😂😂😂
Top 5 wire scenes
Deputy likes dots.
My professional career is slowly turning into McNulty's.
John Domam,Oz,the Wire,Sopranos, top drawer actor.
You can hear his British accent slipping through every so often lol
Deputy likes dots😂😂😂
Nice detail is that one of the next scenes is with Avon telling his subordinate Dangelo to “sit yo ass down!”
Mcnulty is a great detective but he needed to listen to his partner bunk. “Giving a fuck when it ain’t your turn to give a fuck”. From this to him giving them 14 dead girls in the can to make believe Homeless serial killers 😂. Jimmy will get you time in prison but he can’t help himself
'Deputy likes dots' implies he'd skim through an important report maybe?
Nah, when you're the boss you get your reports how you want them.
Rawls is a complete badass !
Gay 😂
There's gotta be a way they can just spring for their own computer and type that shit up on there.
I had to use typewriters as a kid bc we were too poor for a computer (mid 90s). Typewriters are extremely time consuming and unforgiving.
One positive is though, I can type like lightning.
The creator of the show (David Simon) based the Wire on his own experiences working with the BPD back in the 80s. This was probably a holdover from that.
@@ShadowSonic2 You wish it was. BPD didn't get computers in the squad cars until 2016 or 2017. I can completely believe there were not computers in the offices around '02.
@@TemplarOnHigh I read on Quora that former Us soldiers 2016 are still using typewriters. Simply because there is still a shit ton of material lying around. Might as well use it then right?
:56 Ohh! God damn Rawls! 🤣
Season one?
Isn’t there a police union to protect detectives?
Yes, and a lot of the characters never seem to be willing to use it.
@@ShadowSonic2 never even thought of this.
@@ShadowSonic2
Rawls probably has a higher position in the union. McNulty just made homicide and all the bosses hate him. I don't know if anyone would try and fight Rawls if he threw him out.
@@heraldofoblivion499 McNulty had been homicide for 2 years by the start of the show...which makes his repeated naive attitude really confusing
How ironic they also play father and son in law who hate each other in The Affair
Coincidental. Ironic would be if they liked each other.
@@illegitimatefilm I learnt something new today from your comment !
The amount of times McNulty is in the bosses office 😂
0:59 woowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
The blacks on the show are every bit as racist
ThatOneAsianBroChick he got ppl working under him that black .. they really out did themselves on this show
Pretty sure he gets a pass for calling a mass-murdering, drug dealing, hot shot distributing, civilian killing, man torturing and girlfriend murdering a-hole like Avon whatever he wants.
Caesar after I help the NCR
Damn you, McNulty ( fist raised emoji)
Red Foreman 2.0
1:39 So many bodies in Baltimore that they show no concern for prior year cases.
what episode was this?
The first one.
All I wanted to see was a love scene between Omar and Rawls
@@TumzFestivalYT But is it against the law?
????
That would’ve been hilarious!
Lmao!!!
*HOL UP*
McNulty: the f*** did I do?
2:30, "Where you going?"
Rawls actually went through the files
Rawls might have been a dick and fudge the numbers, but the dude knew his shit like the back of his dick.
"your full of sh**" "these are for you mcnulty"
Been there many times. Mcnulty lacks the muscles just like me (Brown nose) . Still I get fired and loved in the end. Hahah.
Done some voice acting for video games as well… played morello in mafia, caeser in fallout new Vegas, etc
Rawls is a type of boss who would get sued and cancelled these days.
Even used the N word.
@@thecappeningchannel515 the n with the r
Out of all the ranked cops rawls is probably the only one that couldn't get blackmailed.
Well, maybe if someone knew he was a homosexual.
...you only charged them with three.
What time of day was this scene?
probably early night
As McNulty is on an 8-4 and goes to leave, it’s past the end of his shift. Rawls goes to leave too, so he would probably be on a standard 9-5? Winter in Baltimore, the sun sets at 5, 6pm? So early evening stacks up.
.l. .l. These are for you
