@vilkwang Snoop - the fact that she never cared about her appearance and didn't act feminine at all and then the final thing she does is ask about how she looks, her desire for reputation when she tries to keep the mart guard's badge, she has no qualm about killing people if it's what she's being told to do but still shows signs of compassion when she gives away all that money to the guy in the DIY store, less emotionally detached than Chris ("damn you didn't even wait to get him in the vacant")
@vilkwang Chris - strongly implied that he was sexually abused, you can tell he has a lot of respect/fear for Marlo from his body language and tone when he's saying "you didn't need that shit on your mind", you can tell about why he does what he does from the fact that he does not care about reputation, when Snoop does (he throws the guard's badge away when she wants to keep it as a medal). You can tell he's cold-blooded, would you expect a hitman like that to get scared or upset very often?
@vilkwang Oh, there was plenty of development for those characters, you just didn't pick up on it because The Wire takes a 'show, don't tell' approach (and rightfully so).
Marlo - the fact that he doesn't ever raise his voice or show anger until Chris tells him that Omar was saying his name in the streets tells you how much he cares about his rep, you can see from the way he talks to Prop Joe before killing him that he is sociopathic, you've got the whole thing about his birds which he likes.
I don´t get it. Why didn´t they just call for backup or something? I mean , sure, Marlo is dangerous but if they just bring a couple of extra officers then there´s no big deal. It´s clearly shown through the rest of those early season 3 episodes that the police can do pretty much whatever they want towarss these project-gangsters, (assuming their commanders looks the other way).
It's hilarious how stupid Herc is...he's clearly 5 seconds away from being beaten half to death, everyone know's it but him and he still walks away from the confrontation thinking he did something
why yall hate marlo so much him michael snoop and chris wereee the best characters in thee series you really gotta watch the way they moued it was fckingg genius
People hate them because they weren't characters. Marlo and his crew are the least developed characters in the entire show, which is dumb as they are the major targets for nearly half of the show.
I love The Wire but it was much better when the "bad guys" were actually human and not just mindless psycho's. Chris nearly got a bit of development when he beat that guy but that's it.
I know, "it show's how crazy the youth is today". I'd still rather watch human characters.
herc really respected marlo. thats why he was staring him down and wanting to fuck with him. people do that when they can sense someones the real deal.
Even though Herc is one of the dumbest characters, and he ends up on the wrong side in the end protecting or rather PERPETRATING the corrupt system, here, he's right. Marlo does more harm in this series than most characters, and way more than Herc himself. Marlo should have been taken down early. If they came back the next day like Herc wanted, things might have been different on the street later in the series.
@theporksicle - Actually, I would say Herc was humiliated here. He's just too stupid to realize it and Carver had to save his ass. What Herc fails to realize is that there are certain type of people who don't fold at the police, and Marlo is one those cats. I would have love to see Herc get beaten down by Marlo and his crew.
Marlo was THE man on the wire.. lol@the comments.. Marlo was a young avon.. thats all.. the cycle repeating itself over again. and anybody in those situations knows,you kill a cop.. your money is gonna get fucked up,too much heat will be brought down on you.. think ppl. think!
@Prologick - I don't think they were planning to kill them. Marlo isn't that dumb. But Marlo is prideful, and hence, he won't be afraid of the consequences that come from a beatdown.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Watching this after having seen the whole series twice, I love how from the very beginning, Herc and Marlo had beef. The way it continues throughout the series with the camera and finally with Herc finding Marlo's phone number which leads to his arrest.
@Arsolon618 Totally true. They weren't kidding when they made the tagline "all the pieces matter". Marlo probably would've gotten away with everything if he hadn't got on Herc's shitlist.
@Arsolon618 wow i never caught that. I should watch the series again! Herc fucks him in the end! even though he's an example of an awful cop, he helps put marlo on the illegal wiretap
i love this scence if you pay attencing to detail u can see how young marlo looks on season 3 and how he looks in the filth season ilove the first time i saw marlo bubbles and his runnin partner that white dude i cant rember his name but anyway bubbles hit one of marlos boys truck with a shoppin cart and his boy the same dude thats in this scence goin for the bat threahin bubble marlo tells him do it or dont because i got somwhere to be .that shit was the shit
yo i use was in the game at one i understand what marlo was thinkin i dont care task force that what they hurc and calver they cant roll up no u and say get in the car and take me to go talk to nobody u feel me? u better have a warrent or somethang in writing before i get in any car thats the way i feel about it shit where im from shit task force was gettin know bullshit
marlo at one time was a mid level man there was a scence where hes tellin one of his boys about some money commin up short he tell friut his mid level boys your count was way down way down a he said when i ran a shop i if i came up short i would i would find out what was the problem and i would do somethang about then he tells friut to take youngin wih u
I never understood this scene. This is Baltimore, not Ciudad Juarez... even the baddest mf's know that if they touch a cop, let alone kick one's ass, they're up schitt creek for good. What are Carver and Greggs scared of happening? Herc should have cuffed Marlo in front of everyone and thrown him in the squad car.
@Matttheweatherman13 Good point, it's another (of many) statements about how black on black violence contains elements of cowardice and self-hate. Marlo wouldn't have dared to order a hit on Herc but he had Chris & Snoop execute a man from his own race over petty rubbish who was working in some crap job to support himself and probably his family.
@zackhanscom herc was a police officer. You dont kill popo on purpose otherwise youre gonna be called a cop killer and a whole shitstorm of cops are gonna be on your ass. Remember when kima got shot? everybody was cryin and it was a huge situation and you gotta remember, she wasnt killed.
@zackhanscom The only reason he did that to the security guard was due to his lack of respect at the poker game. He needed to feel like he was still respected so when he started to not get respect from the security guard he 'forced' him to respect him. Marlo gets respect the same way a rapist gets pussy.
@zackhanscom The security guard wasn't a legitimate cop. If Marlo did put a hit out on Herc then all of the BPD would be on Marlo's ass like white on rice.
@Alytoner The fact that they have guns is the only reason anyone would be scared of them...The fact that you just called any pac 10 school pussy let alone ucla lets me know u don't the difference between being tuff on the streets with your boys backing u and being legitimatly tuff so keep watching your gangsta movies kid
@Mattraction513 You're comparing street thugs to football players. That alone is enough to let anyone know you know fuck all about what you're talking about. Get back to me when you have those UCLA boys killing people for a living.
@Mattraction513 You play football and box with a bunch of white bitches, these people would kill you for stepping up to them. I bet you'd be too much of a pussy to even walk up to one of them.
@bricksalegend 6 feet deep. bodie and poot killed him in season 1 for snitching.
while we talkin bout wallace, i don't get wallace's and poot's relationship, i thought they were brothers 'cause they live together and shit, but for that to be true Poot killed him too easily like it was nothin...when it came down to it of course. before that he was shittin bricks
@hiphopheadism i agree, and it was poot who said ''do it'' to bodie when he was hesitating by talking to wallace b4 firing, but that makes me think they were friends, and poot couldnt stand to see wallace like that but knew it had to be done,
he takes the gun to put him outta his misery, as bodie clearly isnt gonna finish him off
personally i think bodie didnt wanna do it,but his bravado almost forced his hand, poot was a much stronger character than bodie at this point
@kirgeez absolutely good point you make; I would simply split hairs and call it a tactical rather then strategic retreat; As for Marlo's crew, if they jumped herc and carv kima would oof come down on then like God and let CID sort it out
a few thoughts if this had played out and herc had grabbed marlo and the shit hit: 1)greggs, after she 10-13ed she was on her way and if either of her old partners were down and getting it she probably would of gone lethal force and let IID sort it out 2) Colvin, if his men had taken it it would of been "Biblical", who ever of stanfield's crew got out of the alley would be dead men walking
"Middle management means you have just enough responsibility that you have to listen when someone talks, but not enough power to tell anyone to go fuck themselves" Great line
Even though Herc was incredibly stupid and short sighted alot of the time, he had some balls-as this scene shows. Good to see someone front up to that evil fuck Marlo. I would have watched a sixth season just to see that lunatic get his head blown off.
@Tonyfaster No, Herc was responsible for Marlo going free, because they hard an illegal access to his number. In the end Herc only makes matters worse.
herc is a guy who would save your ass in a fistfight and get your ass killed in a gunfight. bit lacking in the finesse department. except for that ep where he goes undercover, jesus christ that ep.
@aes620hb2 Yeah he was, but like sammythemc said...Carver knew they were in serious danger with no back up. They were going to probably get killed had herc kept at it.
@trooper40below yah herc was brave but foolish. still i like herc alot and marlo wud be stupid to kill a policeman becuase he wud go 2 jail in a heartbeat
@aes620hb2 true that. Herc was unaware of the danger but at the same time Herc probably wouldn't have cared. He was so zoned on Marlo. You can tell he wanted to get at Marlo bad.
I don't get it though. The crews never dare touch the cops. Hence why they can just walk around wherever and not need worry. How come here it looked like shit was about to hit the fan?
@LSamL90 Herc and Carver didn't have back up really thats why Marlo's crew was so bold. Otherwise Carver and Herc would whoop Marlo's ass and take him down to the station.
I don't get it though. The crews never dare touch the cops. Hence why they can just walk around wherever and not need worry. How come here it looked like shit was about to hit the fan?

I think Marlow almost respects Herc for standing up to him.
Marlow and Herc have a wierd relationship throughout the wire, starting here, then that stuff about the camera and then their connection through the loyer.Marlow is almost friendly with Herc in season 5 in a way Marlow has only acted previously with Chris, Snoop and Prop Joe. Strange.
Yeah, what you said. It was also Herc that ruined Marlos career as a drug boss. Had he never give his cellnumber to any cop they wouldn´t have been able to tap him and bust him. Of course though, his plan backfired when marlo walked. Mkes you wonder if herc ever asked Carver who he gave the number to, haha
Carver just realized they is dealing with a whole different breed. the wire did a great job showing the growth of Carver. remeber him and hurc were just reckless cops who lived to bust heads and take drug money. I remember Carver standing on the car with the bat calling drug dealers bitches and how this is his streets and cops will fuck them up anytime they feel. Hurc didnt grow much at all. But in Hurcs defense his entire life was riding on finding that camera. he couldnt even think straight.
naw go even further back on season 1 when prez, herc and carver went into the jects after 2 am to do field interviews or whatever. when prez had pistol whipped the youngin. good shii, carver was a mellowed out mo fukka on season 4 an 5
naw go even further back on season 1 when prez, herc and carver went into the jects after 2 am to do field interviews or whatever. when prez had pistol whipped the youngin. good shii, carver was a mellowed out mo fukka on season 4 an 5
If carver wsn't there, Herc would have been a dead man. arlo and the way he ran shit was a totally different animal than anything any of the west district cops had known before. But thats what made Carver a good cop, as Bunny pointed out, "good instincts"
He "gulped"!!! OMG, Marlo is not invulnerable. Right after Herc says "There's gonna be a tommorow" Marlo swallows hard signifying fear and anxiety. If Herc saw that he would have cuffed that m'fer and hauled his sorry ass to booking.
And again..LMAO @ this comment (along wit me laffin at all da other comments i see on here)...you ppls Perceptions of this shit...is Hilarious to me. Yall are completely clueless lol...
Marlow "gulping"...did NOT signify fear and anxiety. If u know anything about 1- His Character....2- u can SEE how all them dudes around was GETTING READY to fuck them cops up, not MAYBE..they was GOING to do it...and 3- Look at his dam Facial expression...hes Gulping from RAGE!
Hes gulping from bein in pure RAGE!...(if u also notice..seconds b4, hes shakin his head in Utter Disgust and disbeleif, that dis clown is in his face..n talkin 2 him like he lost is fuckin mind........then when he gets 2 da point of Gulping, hes REALLY in RAGE n wants 2 do somethin 2 Hercs (INCEDIBLY STUPID..) Ass.
And yes...even tho no1 kills da cops.....Them 2 was literally SECONDS away from gettin it. SMH lol
Marlo did the right thing here. The stupid fucks aka #yungbldk9 and iLL271 don't understand that if Marlo's crew DID kill Herc and Carver, Kima was there to witness it and when they do get caught, that would mean death row or life without the possibility of parole for Marlo and his crew.
@MarloStanfield10 Lol yeah all these youtube retards are like "yeaaah herc woulda ended up in one of the vacants" haha what the fuck was marlo or his crew gonna do? yeah hit a cop wit a baseball bat n see what happens
@landogray thats because they didnt have anything to put on him. if they had something that would have stuck they would have hauled his ass. if the baltimore pd had come down on his ass full force instead of bickering amongst themselves most of the time, they could have put marlo away for good.
@gsofficial He doesnt work for him, he works for Levy. Levy works for Marlo. Saying Herc works for Marlo is like saying a wal-mart employee works for a customer.
Marlo is a lot more intimidating than Stringer Bell. At his worst as ruthless as Stringer was, he didn't have a little compassion in him, but Marlo was just heartless and had no compassion or sympathy for anybody. He was ice-cold.
The Wire is the bollocks! you "gangsta's" with "beef" keep yourself to yourself! cunts.
Why the fuck use you tube to fight? get some feckin nuts you wannabe gangster faggots!
I'm quite happy to meet up and have a row if required, although I will be fucked if I have got to fly to some god forsaken ass end of a country to do so!
This is the 1st time I relize how crazy and smart Marlo really was. He was going to let his crew beat down Herc and Carver. But he still wasn't going. And right after this his next scene was with Stringer where Stinger was talking all that shit and Marlo was just look at him.
Correct, Marlo didn't have to go with them. And I don't think he would have let his crew beat down the police. And this is where Herc and Marlo meet and after this they had a ongoing relationship. Hahahahahahahaha Herc was just to stupid. I'm glad Carver stop hangin with him so much cause Carver became a better police after he stop hanging with Herc.
You are spot on on your two points. Marlo was not going to let his crew beat down the police. Notice the slight head shake he gives to the guy reaching for the bat.
And your point about the development of Herc and Carter throughout the series is on target. Carver grew not only as a policeman but as a human being. On the other hand, Herc's learning curve is rather steep. He never seems to climb it.
When Carver tried to keep Randy from going back into foster care, that showed growth.
Tru dat! I live in Maryland, but grew up in Detroit 3 blocks from 8-Mile Rd, in Northwest. Sombody want to talk shit, at least 5 cars would show up in less than a minute, and you would just have to prepare for a beat down.
So in the beginning of the scene the major was basically telling ole boy not to ask questions and just do what he told? When he was referencing lt's on the corner and the responsibility (or lack thereof) they have
Herc is such a gung-ho moron, if his chosen career had been drug dealer he'd have kicked the bucket early on

@bricksalegend 6 feet deep. bodie and poot killed him in season 1 for snitching.
while we talkin bout wallace, i don't get wallace's and poot's relationship, i thought they were brothers 'cause they live together and shit, but for that to be true Poot killed him too easily like it was nothin...when it came down to it of course. before that he was shittin bricks

@hiphopheadism i agree, and it was poot who said ''do it'' to bodie when he was hesitating by talking to wallace b4 firing, but that makes me think they were friends, and poot couldnt stand to see wallace like that but knew it had to be done,
he takes the gun to put him outta his misery, as bodie clearly isnt gonna finish him off
personally i think bodie didnt wanna do it,but his bravado almost forced his hand, poot was a much stronger character than bodie at this point

kirgeez 1 year ago
@kirgeez absolutely good point you make; I would simply split hairs and call it a tactical rather then strategic retreat; As for Marlo's crew, if they jumped herc and carv kima would oof come down on then like God and let CID sort it out
badbadkingjohn 1 year ago
a few thoughts if this had played out and herc had grabbed marlo and the shit hit: 1)greggs, after she 10-13ed she was on her way and if either of her old partners were down and getting it she probably would of gone lethal force and let IID sort it out 2) Colvin, if his men had taken it it would of been "Biblical", who ever of stanfield's crew got out of the alley would be dead men walking

I think Marlow almost respects Herc for standing up to him.
Marlow and Herc have a wierd relationship throughout the wire, starting here, then that stuff about the camera and then their connection through the loyer.Marlow is almost friendly with Herc in season 5 in a way Marlow has only acted previously with Chris, Snoop and Prop Joe. Strange.
Cryer24597 1 year ago
@Cryer24597
Yeah, what you said. It was also Herc that ruined Marlos career as a drug boss. Had he never give his cellnumber to any cop they wouldn´t have been able to tap him and bust him. Of course though, his plan backfired when marlo walked. Mkes you wonder if herc ever asked Carver who he gave the number to, haha

Carver just realized they is dealing with a whole different breed. the wire did a great job showing the growth of Carver. remeber him and hurc were just reckless cops who lived to bust heads and take drug money. I remember Carver standing on the car with the bat calling drug dealers bitches and how this is his streets and cops will fuck them up anytime they feel. Hurc didnt grow much at all. But in Hurcs defense his entire life was riding on finding that camera. he couldnt even think straight.

Marlo did the right thing here. The stupid fucks aka #yungbldk9 and iLL271 don't understand that if Marlo's crew DID kill Herc and Carver, Kima was there to witness it and when they do get caught, that would mean death row or life without the possibility of parole for Marlo and his crew.

Correct, Marlo didn't have to go with them. And I don't think he would have let his crew beat down the police. And this is where Herc and Marlo meet and after this they had a ongoing relationship. Hahahahahahahaha Herc was just to stupid. I'm glad Carver stop hangin with him so much cause Carver became a better police after he stop hanging with Herc.
avonbarksdalewife 2 years ago 4
You are spot on on your two points. Marlo was not going to let his crew beat down the police. Notice the slight head shake he gives to the guy reaching for the bat.
And your point about the development of Herc and Carter throughout the series is on target. Carver grew not only as a policeman but as a human being. On the other hand, Herc's learning curve is rather steep. He never seems to climb it.
When Carver tried to keep Randy from going back into foster care, that showed growth.
