The proof that they know more than they're telling is how they are so determined to keep to the story that D hung himself. They won't even listen the idea that he could have been killed, that's what gives them away, plus how neither one can look her in the eye. If Stringer had never told Avon what he did, Avon would be listening to Brianna, probably able to look her in the face too. My thinking is, if there wasn't a chance that it would come back on one of them, then they'd be hearing her out.
As good as Stringer and Avon were on the streets, they really screwed this one up. First of all Stringer didn't help at all by being in the room while Brianna was confronting Avon, he was totally defensive about the whole situation. For him to say "whatever happened" when she said "to do with what" basically is saying of course he didnt hang himself. As far as Avon goes the one statement he made was all Brianna needed to know what really happened.
I like the look of realization she gets when she askes "to do with what?"
Avon won't look here in the eye, and Stringer is answering for him. At that point she KNEW without a doubt that they had Dee killed and I love how it was portrayed.
@veldross1 Brianna knew that somebody was lying. Of course it was Stringer. Avon didn't have anything to do with D's death. Remember when Stringer was in the car and paid the guy for getting the "deed" done? Stringer told dude this better not get back to Avon. So this was all Stringer's doing. Stringer was messing everything up while Avon was locked up. Letting Prop Joe sell in the towers, Wallace getting shot, D'Angelo's death, Omar/ Brother Mouzone instigation. Stringer messed up.
Yeah he had nothing to do with it, but hes complicit with it after the fact, thats one hell of a betrayal. Sure he fought string at first but afterwards hes like 'aight' and went along with it. The biggest advocate of 'the family' lets his nephew get killed for a dubious suspicion.
@veldross1 Agree. After Stringer told him that he did it Avon didn't know what to think. Brianna knows that Avon knows something. I think the last straw with Stringer and why he got killed was letting Clay Davis strong arm him and losing all that money. Avon had enough of him. So Omar & Mouzone wanted to get Stringer because Avon in a way wanted to avenge D's death. Avon could have settle the thing with Omar/Mouzone another way but didn't. Crazy.
Truthfully, Stringer is responsible for D'Angelo's death, Avon for putting D'Angelo in the situation that landed him in jail and his mother Brianna who was putting that guilt over D'Angelo's head which did lead to his going to prison and his death.
o ok so at this time stringer had already told avon that he had got d killed i get it now thats y avon said he aint got nothin to do with wat happened to d
@TheLongestPath He was the opposite of stupid, a man with a brilliant business mind who could have done great things if he was born into a different environment. His environment was the thing holding him back as he never truly lost the street mentality that he possessed as a result of growing up on the corners, hence why he was ready to have Clay Davis killed for ripping him off. Unfortuantely though, his downfall came about due to him not being as street smart as Avon. He fucked up
D was in the game himself. He was not some innocent citizen-- he made his decision and knew the stakes involved. Stringer made a good choice from a boss's stand point. In all fairness, if D had zero blood ties to Avon, I think even Avon would have had him killed a lot earlier..especially when he started bucking in prison. D was always weak though. I would of had D killed after he almost wrote a confession that first time in season 1. Who the fuck does that?
@maddingo12 Someone with a conscience. You're mistaking weakness for humanity. He was in the game but he didn't want to be in the game anymore. Last time I checked people have a right to change. He wasn't living up to his true potential and he knew it.
D has a right to change and Stringer Bell and Avon have a right to protect themselves from any consequences of that change. No one is going to do 20 years to life in prison just because one of their soldiers decides that he wants to go into witness protection and change his life.
@maddingo12 , you are absolutely right. Say what you want about Stringer. But when it came to business, he was better at it then Avon. Avon let blood get in the way of a decision. From abusiness standpoint, that was the right call Stringer made. Dee had 20 years hanging over his head. He could not take that chance based on Dee's history.
Stringer was right to off D. D was drowning with 20 years over his head. D cutt off Avon and his crew. If you look at it from a boss's stand point--blood or no blood--D was weak and ripe for being flipped by the police. He had to go...and I think Avon realized it and accepted it.
Avon should have killed Stringer as soon as he found out Stringer ordered D's death. And when he didn't, Brianna should have gone to the police and given them everything she had on Avon and Stringer, everything that D was going to give them, as soon as she realized Avon was not going to avenge D's death. They both just got so deep into the game they lost sight of everything else.
@alec1115 Stringer wasnt evil, jeez David Simon would at you for using words like that in a discussion about his show. Stringer was a businessman, there was never any malice in the deaths he ordered he was just protecting himself and the organisation. Cold, yes, ruthless, yes, but not evil. Stringer was a selfish SOB, most of his actions were geared towards transforming himself into the legit businessman he wanted to be, but dont cheapen him words like evil. He's a fascinating character
@cocaineuk87 striner was top 5 evilest in the whole series he sent a hit on wallace, brother mouzone , he snitch on avon, he was a snakeeeeeeee it caught up to him
Brianna wasn't stupid. She knew Avon was covering up something. That's why she didn't give a crap about him later. Serves him right for talking all that family sh**, then allowed family to go down the drain just so he could continue fighting for some corners he, financially, didn't even need.
Brianna didn't have no problems accepting all the money Avon gave her as a result of his criminal empire, nor in having her son fully entrenched in her brother's organization, even though D'Angelo never had the heart of a G....now that D'Angelo ends up being a casualty of the game that she helped get him involved in, she grows some nuts
Brianna already felt guilty about D'Angelo's arrest, and I think she had the right to knwo whether her son was murdered or not. This scene shows the vanity of Avon, Stringer, and yes, even Brianna. They were the ones who let the shit happen, and neither of them are willing to take blame for it.
i kinda saw stringer getting killed, i mean between killing D, sleeping with his girl, setting up omar and mouzone, acting shady, he was setting himself up to be killed
Brianna, SHUT UP! She's the biggest hypocrite in the wire. Brianna's only mad about the fact that her son's dead because of the guilt she felt when McNulty confronts her and makes her feel like a terrible mother. She brain washed herself into thinking that De was untouchable because Avon was his uncle. The question is, how would Brianna be reacting if her and De were not related to Avon? I don't think she'll be raising her voice!
man watch the wire season again man avon sister knew avon lied because at avon last sentencing she was there and she left and avon left alone and stringer was jealous of d in my opinion becasue avon would be in prison 4 life b4 he hurt his nephew and stringer was a grimy mutherfucker if he so real he shouldve told the truth and d did snitch whe nhe found out about wallace then he stopped but stringer didnt take no chances and i bet that same day stringer did that paperwork on avon
1st Avon wasn't wrong for not saying shit to her. Yeah that his sister and D his nephew but he knew what stringer did was best for their empire. 2nd if D would have snitch you best believe Brianna would have wanted him dead too. That shit would have sent the whole Barksdale family to the poor house.
nah man. how do you figure that? avon almost cried when he found out stringer got killed. stringer was avon's right hand. if anybody gave string up, it was prop joe.
wrong, avon gave up stringer when brother mouzanne came to him saying someone had set him up with omar. avon was still pissed that stringer had dangelo killed and i guess he just thought stringer was more trouble than he was worth
@gauchebag Avon didnt want to give up Stringer, he offered to take full responsibility for what Stringer had done in order to save his ass, but in the end he had no choice. Similarly they show that Stringer was in real turmoil about giving up Avon tot he police, but in the end he didn't feel he had a choice neither.
he offered to pay mouzane money but it wasn't accepted.
proposition joe is irrelevant, as mouzanne says when he meets avon at the barbershop. stringer made the decision to have mouzanne without telling avon so in the end avon had stringer deal with the consequences
no man, avon did give up stringer. check the video where mouzone visits avon. and check the video when stringer gets shot up. omar says "your boy gave you up" to stringaaaaaaaa
avon didnt say shit to mouzone that gave stinger up. all he did was offer him money. stinger snitched on avon to the cops and thats how he got shut with all the guns and grenades and shit.
no you got it wrong, avon told mouzone where stringer will be. i suggest u re-watch this season because during avon and strings final scene, avon ask stringer where he is gonna be the next day. this obviously suggest that avon told mouzone, why else would omar tell him that avon gave him up?
@johncena001 - yea, he did give up stringer to brother Mouzonne. Thats how they knew where he was going to be at and at what time. Remember omar said before he killed stringer?
"Your boy gave you up. And we didn't have to talk to his ass neither." He was talking about Avon.
@wushu69 - gotcha,...thanks for the correction. That raspy voice was sometimes hard to understand....i was actually wondering if he said Toe -cher his ass neither lol...i just went with talk.
I think killing D'Angelo was the right move...from The Game's perspective. He was out of pocket with 20 years hanging over his head.
I have a problem with String becomng involved with D'Angelo's girlfriend, though His involvment casts doubts over his reason for having D'Angelo killed.
Yo D was that nigga... some dont realize but D had to deal with his difficulties as "middle management" in the drug organization having to deal with unreliable subordinates, demanding superiors and his own conscience.
i like to read the comments on the show but i don't ever respond. i love this show others on hbo they killin it period. to speak on this clip brianna comin at avon but truthfully he didn't have anything to do wit it he was told about by string. personally i'd got stringer ass outta there when i found out bizness is one thing but poppin my fam without given word? i think not!
yea Avon soft for letting ol dude get away with that but i think when he set String up with Mouzone and Omar, that was his payback. i wouldnt have waited that long tho, dude would have been gott for that shitt lol. but String was like his brother...and Avon kinda knew D waznt really built for the game like that...
String getting with D's baby momz reminds me of David in the bible...when he has Bathsheeba's husband sent to war to die so he can marry her...shady business smh...
the point is diangelo was murdered in prison but they made it look like suicide. stringer ordered the hit on diangelo and later told avon who's lying here when brianna is trynna cut the bullshit & figure out what went down.
i really respected the barksdales sense of family loyalty, and when i even saw a hint of stringer's shady/manipulative side, i questioned how avon could even be down with some1 like him & not see the warning signs. woulda been gr8 if omar & brother mouzone had executed stringer in front of avon and/or briana ... just so he died knowing his act of disloyalty was his downfall.
even though taking out D angelo is wrong, in a business sense it was the best move because D was weak and would have eventually rolled on them which was stringer's worst fears. On wall street you get rid of a stock if it's dogshit and stringer did the same thing casue d was a falling stock.avon knew stringer was right
Well D'Angelo wasn't necessarily weak just conflicted with his choice of life. See some cats aren't built for that type of game. Remember we're not really talking survival here. We're talking about monetary gain in a economically strained environment where you may have to kill, be killed or server long jail sentences. On top of that D realized that he was just a pawn like the chess piece he explained to his crew. Family didn't take care of him.
string is weak and has no integrity, when i saw him giving up info to bunny i could of jump through the tv screen he sold his sold and without integrity you are not a gangster let alone a man cause you have to be a men first before you even become a gangster, string gave up his manhood RAT!!
you can believe what you want but this is the misconception people have about gangsters, those who idolize the lifestyle but also want to hold on to their soul. Real gangstas are cold as shit. it's not about spirit or love, it's about getting yours. Marlo exemplifies this, Stringer does on a different but similar level. real gangsters dont have fixation on all those ego defense mechanisms like proving your manhood to everyone, leave that to the corner boys.
Well the bottom line is we're talking about humans. Avon is a gangster...i'll give him that. Marlo is a psychopath who don't give a fucc. String?...that dude is just a snake...period. Prop...smart, slick cat...and "cats" are always up to mischief.
Funny how D'Angelo is always considered weak. Yet don't forget he took the heat for the fame. He was killed only because they thought he would snitch. D'Angelo just wanted to be alone.
He did it because first, he got screwed by Clay (Sheeeeeeeit) Davis, and wanted to put a hit out on him. Slim Charles didn't want to do it, and Avon put the breaks on the whole thing. Then he was still pissed about that whole thing, and wanted to try and prove to Avon that he was hard. But if you notice shortly after his clash with Avon, Stringer realized that he had to do something because there might be retaliation against him for telling Avon that he put the hit out on D'Angelo. Big Mess!
Its funny how corruption can break apart the toughest family. It was Stringer, as some of yall know that had him killed. Stringer is a cold heated mother fucker...
That's why Brother Mouzone got his ass later on!!!
well kmarooon you know how it go.....the karma that is.....what goes around comes back around and the funny thing is...Stringer went out like a simp...tryna cut a lass minute deal with miggaz dat dont give a ratz arse about the shrinkin dollar..lol!
He don't forget my man Omar. Stringer got exactly what I was hoping he would get. But in the end, Stringer had no choice but ot except his fate. He got peppered.
Brianna finally saw the truth. Avon is a bitch. He always talked about "family" but it was all bullshit. She lost her son. After this, Brianna cut him out of her life. Avon has no family now. Serves him right!
smoothy...why do you think some people sell out to the allmight shrinkin dollar? is it really worth it in the end. the money still gettin' spent, but the black fam always seem to come up short. The money still being spent but like you said what good is it if you have no fam and you cut out?
@smoothysilk Avon never knew Stringer killed D untill Stringer told him & in the 2nd season when Avon thought D killed himself he was upset & in season 3 Avon knew what Stringer said was true If D fliped Avon, Stringer, & Brianna all would of gone to Jail & D did flip 1st season took a deal but walked away thanks to his mother who claimed if it wasnt for the game the family would be in the streets but then gets upset that her son gets killed for being apart of the game she loves so much
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Is the person that played D's mom some sort of transexual. She has facial features like a man and if you go to the hbo website her real first name is Michael.
I know during season 3 avon was goimg through some mental shit , dealing with marlo, stringer shit and murder of his nephew d'angelo not to mention the stick up man omar
yeah that's the thing about the wire not everybody is perfect looking like on regular network tv. so what she has a zit or whatever, the woman CAN ACT!
I'm almost certain if String hadn't of harmed D'Angelo, Avon would have went out of his way to protect him from Mouzone. but what String did along with the way they were already bickering over the way the organization should be run forced Avon's hand.
Stringer was my favorite character in seasons 1 and 2, but I hated him in season 3. He was in over his head.
thats what im saying yo .even in this scene the only time he refills his chest with air is when brianna is off the mark somewhat implying that he had something to do with it . thats when he could boldly say he didnt do it . before that he was clammed up . didnt wanna have to lie to fam.
i luved avon's character until this scene. it pretty much proves how all his talk about "family always bein there" is complete bullshit. lying to his own sister about the death of her son!
during this scene avon already knew that stringer ordered d'angelo to be strangled in prison. yet avon was still willing to lie to his own sister, brianna (d's mother) in order to protect stringer! that's what u call loyalty.
avon let his sister know that it wasnt his idea to kill deangelo therefore pointing the finger at stringer . he wasnt loyal to stringer at all . loyal to his fam , string died cause of what he did to deangelo more than anything.
avon still lied to her nonetheless. even though he had nothing to do with it he knew stringer was responsible but he told brianna: "nobody did nothin" how can u NOT consider that lying???
Yeah he was loyal to String.. he loved String like a brother, and at the end of the day he knew Stringer was right about D.. he had to go. String died bc of that stuff with Mouzone and nothing else. He even tried to get String out of it by offering Mouzone money. He said he was willing to pay any price to make up for what String did but the only thing Mouzone wanted was Stringer's head or else Avon wouldn't be able to do business in NYC anymore. Like he said, it was just business.
I Hated Stringer In Season 3 But He got it in'04 it came back on him for Wallace,Omar's Boyfriend Brandon and Espically D'Angleo I Wish D'Angelo would come back for season 5 but it anit going happen
it was really good casting that they put brianna as a highly educated lady and avon was the street sibling. and avon did let her her know that it wasnt his idea to kill dángelo.
Damn....that scene was tense, cause Avon knew Stringer was behind D'Angelo's death and he felt like he couldn't tell Brianna about it. I think Stringer's role in D'Angelo's death had alot to do with Avon giving up Stringer to Brother Mouzone and Omar.
Absolutely. I always thought Avon was somewhat the "leader" of the two even though they both were at the top of the "organization". I think Avon was telling the truth about not ever killing his own kin, but I think his loyalty to Stringer was even greater than his own family. I don't blame Avon for giving up Stringer.
Even the way Stringer is sitting on that bar stool is very snake-like.

She brain washed herself into thinking that De was untouchable because Avon was his uncle. The question is, how would Brianna be reacting if her and De were not related to Avon? I don't think she'll be raising her voice!

man watch the wire season again man avon sister knew avon lied because at avon last sentencing she was there and she left and avon left alone and stringer was jealous of d in my opinion becasue avon would be in prison 4 life b4 he hurt his nephew and stringer was a grimy mutherfucker if he so real he shouldve told the truth and d did snitch whe nhe found out about wallace then he stopped but stringer didnt take no chances and i bet that same day stringer did that paperwork on avon

1st Avon wasn't wrong for not saying shit to her. Yeah that his sister and D his nephew but he knew what stringer did was best for their empire. 2nd if D would have snitch you best believe Brianna would have wanted him dead too. That shit would have sent the whole Barksdale family to the poor house.

MdBizz45 2 years ago
wrong, avon gave up stringer when brother mouzanne came to him saying someone had set him up with omar. avon was still pissed that stringer had dangelo killed and i guess he just thought stringer was more trouble than he was worth
gauchebag 2 years ago
@gauchebag Avon didnt want to give up Stringer, he offered to take full responsibility for what Stringer had done in order to save his ass, but in the end he had no choice. Similarly they show that Stringer was in real turmoil about giving up Avon tot he police, but in the end he didn't feel he had a choice neither.
cocaineuk87 10 months ago
@cocaineuk87
he offered to pay mouzane money but it wasn't accepted.
proposition joe is irrelevant, as mouzanne says when he meets avon at the barbershop. stringer made the decision to have mouzanne without telling avon so in the end avon had stringer deal with the consequences

MdBizz45 2 years ago
no you got it wrong, avon told mouzone where stringer will be. i suggest u re-watch this season because during avon and strings final scene, avon ask stringer where he is gonna be the next day. this obviously suggest that avon told mouzone, why else would omar tell him that avon gave him up?
johncena001 2 years ago 2
@johncena001 - yea, he did give up stringer to brother Mouzonne. Thats how they knew where he was going to be at and at what time. Remember omar said before he killed stringer?
"Your boy gave you up. And we didn't have to talk to his ass neither." He was talking about Avon.

I think killing D'Angelo was the right move...from The Game's perspective. He was out of pocket with 20 years hanging over his head.
I have a problem with String becomng involved with D'Angelo's girlfriend, though His involvment casts doubts over his reason for having D'Angelo killed.

even though taking out D angelo is wrong, in a business sense it was the best move because D was weak and would have eventually rolled on them which was stringer's worst fears. On wall street you get rid of a stock if it's dogshit and stringer did the same thing casue d was a falling stock.avon knew stringer was right
D was my favoate character though
Petey123123 3 years ago
Well D'Angelo wasn't necessarily weak just conflicted with his choice of life. See some cats aren't built for that type of game. Remember we're not really talking survival here. We're talking about monetary gain in a economically strained environment where you may have to kill, be killed or server long jail sentences. On top of that D realized that he was just a pawn like the chess piece he explained to his crew. Family didn't take care of him.

trevdiggz 3 years ago
you can believe what you want but this is the misconception people have about gangsters, those who idolize the lifestyle but also want to hold on to their soul. Real gangstas are cold as shit. it's not about spirit or love, it's about getting yours. Marlo exemplifies this, Stringer does on a different but similar level. real gangsters dont have fixation on all those ego defense mechanisms like proving your manhood to everyone, leave that to the corner boys.

Funny how D'Angelo is always considered weak. Yet don't forget he took the heat for the fame. He was killed only because they thought he would snitch. D'Angelo just wanted to be alone.

hume12345 2 years ago
He did it because first, he got screwed by Clay (Sheeeeeeeit) Davis, and wanted to put a hit out on him. Slim Charles didn't want to do it, and Avon put the breaks on the whole thing. Then he was still pissed about that whole thing, and wanted to try and prove to Avon that he was hard. But if you notice shortly after his clash with Avon, Stringer realized that he had to do something because there might be retaliation against him for telling Avon that he put the hit out on D'Angelo. Big Mess!

I'm almost certain if String hadn't of harmed D'Angelo, Avon would have went out of his way to protect him from Mouzone. but what String did along with the way they were already bickering over the way the organization should be run forced Avon's hand.
Stringer was my favorite character in seasons 1 and 2, but I hated him in season 3. He was in over his head.

Yeah he was loyal to String.. he loved String like a brother, and at the end of the day he knew Stringer was right about D.. he had to go. String died bc of that stuff with Mouzone and nothing else. He even tried to get String out of it by offering Mouzone money. He said he was willing to pay any price to make up for what String did but the only thing Mouzone wanted was Stringer's head or else Avon wouldn't be able to do business in NYC anymore. Like he said, it was just business.

Absolutely. I always thought Avon was somewhat the "leader" of the two even though they both were at the top of the "organization". I think Avon was telling the truth about not ever killing his own kin, but I think his loyalty to Stringer was even greater than his own family. I don't blame Avon for giving up Stringer.
