  • Wallace is currently in Red Tails. Go see it its half decent

  • To me, this is the most powerful moment of Season 1.

  • I hate Stringer.

  • stringer was the best actor in this show. he wasn't about the typical gangster bullshit, he was a true businessman. He funnelled all of his money into all those businesses and then he just wanted to go legit...it was avon who wanted to keep the towers and the corners. stringer didn't care about controlling the streets once he was sitting on all that downtown real estate.

  • @DirtySanchez90

    nigga please stringer will always be a ghetto ass no matter what that's why he got played like a bitch by REAL business men.

  • @jlef604 wtf, so he got played his forst time around, and now he's stupid? what do you think would happened if clay went out and tried to run them corners? he would have his bumps in the road shit he might get shot, stringer would have learned from that experience, shit if he didn't get shot by brotha and omar that would have been the best thing to happen for string. Oh btw fuck you.

  • the guard in the background might not know it, but he just witnessed possibly the best scene of television in the history of cinema

  • thats just 2 blacks swearing?

  • "I don't want this Payless wearing motherfucker representing me." That part just adds to an already fantastic scene.

  • bodie is the best gangster in the series. Stringer is just dirty and self serving as hell. Bodie was always a good soldier and was only gonna turn when marlo started loosing his way and was killing just to kill

  • @tombuzzguy I'd say Slim and Bodie are neck to neck.

  • I loved it when String and Bodie died. Both of 'em got their comuppance. Just a pity that Poot didn't join 'em.

  • 3 people don't know where Wallace is.

  • wallace was on string break last i heard

  • He went on a highschool in FNL.

  • Its either that or when string tells Avon that he killed d, fuckin great scene!

  • string a cold motherfucker. he had to put out a hit on shorty just like that.

  • McNulty was right, after all D was a pretty decent person.

  • @Ngooo Out of all the players, I'd say he was the best.

  • Still get chills. And I've seen this at least 10 times.

  • @wrobinson91 iknowrite

  • Unfortunately, Wallace became a scapegoat for the whole damn machine... SHIIIIEEEEEEEEIT!

  • Haunting. Truly haunting.

  • best scene ever

    

  • Man, Wallace should've stayed at his grandma's house. Shit's tragic...

  • Have to agree with you; Best Scene in TV. Fucking Brilliant.

  • he's in Dylan, Texas

  • wheres wallace!!!!!!!!!!

  • Idris Elba is a G

  • alright you stupid mutha fuckah..

  • Hahaha That nigga aint got no eyebrows

  • This would have been a better scene is his name was Waldo

  • this is so heartbreaking

  • Man I swear everybody that got killed on the wire deserved it these niggas either fucked up sumthin or snitched I'm sittin here watching dee snitch like a hoe he shuda been out the game,he really shied Neva got in it

  • Love this interpretation from Alan Sepinwall's Wire blog: "When he asks, over and over, where Wallace is, what he's really asking is, "Why have I sold out of my future for a couple of remorseless psychopaths like you and my uncle?," "How do you not get that it's the bodies that keep attracting the cops' attention?," "Why does The Game have to play out this way?," "Why should I be loyal to bosses who have no loyalty to their employees?"

  • I always thought it would be kind of funny if, as a joke on the actor who plays D'Angelo, the producers had Wallace walk in from behind him and just be like, "I'm right here"

  • greatest scene in television history is the chess scene in the wire. but this is great as well.

  • "...D'angelo shut your mowf."

  • Comment removed

  • @vF0323 @jmeiskues I thought of Avon too, but though they were business "partners," Avon was really Stringer's boss, so a boss standing up to his employee isn't really accurate. Slim did briefly *disagree* with String over the Clay Davis killing, but it was pretty light and he was saved-by-the-Barksdale, as it were. vF's point is right, I think: D did eventually stand up to Stringer, without the benefit of a gun or a badge. Of course, it got him killed, but he did it.

  • Best scene ever

  • Am I my brothers keeper? This scene rocked me.

  • Um... someone really should tell that guy that the game is called "where's Waldo", and he's kind of easy to spot, given his red and white striped shirt and hat. In my opinion, he's taking the game way too seriously, though.

  • @vF0323 and he has a bulletproof window and a guard

  • WHERE'S WALLACE

  • Could you imagine how D'Angelo would have reacted to Marlo in season 5?

  • "Where's Waldo, huh? Where the fuck is Waldo!" ... "Oh, there he is, behind the fence."

  • where's the boy string?

  • this show was never the same after they killed d'angelo off. he was my favorite character.

  • @bferg531

    AWWWW :( That's what I get for reading comments before finishing the show......

  • @TheGravitationist aw sorry man. yeah i assumed anyone watching this would have been past that part. either way youre in for plenty more surprises throughout the season.

  • WHERE'S WALLY STRING?

  • best scene in the entire series.

  • best scene in the whole series.

  • 2 people know where Wallace is at.

  • Christ what a show.

  • i love how whoever did this video put 'fucking brilliant' at the end.

    Fan-tastic.

  • amazing

  • Call me crazy, but I still LOVE Stringer.

  • @lazydragon40 string is a piece of shit honestly

  • @lazydragon40  crazy

  • :'(

  • @DoctorDoomXIII It took me until the theme song in the first episode to get into lol. I feel like if those professional television critics can't figure it out, they shouldn't be judging.

  • This scene brought me to tears...

  • i fucking loved that scene as soon as i saw it. So intense ...

  • The best acting is season 1

  • Best show in television history, hence best scene in television history. Aside from the obvious, look at the amazing layout of this scene: you got the glass window pane with the strictly business part of the game on one side (Stringer and Levy) and the emotional, human side on the other (D'Angelo). Very few scenes in movies or television give me chills when I watch, this is definitely one of them.

  • @JMC296 Excellent comment. My thoughts exactly. Everything about the wire was excellent!

  • @JMC296 exactly...very good analysis...thats exactly what happened..

    

  • Wallace apparently went to Dillon, Texas. And so did D'Angelo.

  • I liked the part where he asked the whereabouts of Wallace.

  • @matthewj84 he right

  • @matthewj84 Too funny!

  • damn this is intense, some serious acting

  • String is smart and business savvy, but he also let his smarts get the best of him and would kill a kid and family member when he thinks its the right thing to do. At the end it's his decision to put a hit on Father Mouzone for the good of the business that ultimately comes back to bit him in the ass.

  • get back in your car and get the fuck back down south

  • WHAR DA FUCK ITH WALLITH!?

  • @BlissfulPsychosis

    LMFAO the lithp

  • @BlissfulPsychosis LOL, shit start laughing like shit when i read that phrase of yours.

  • Best scene this season!

  • One of the most emotional scenes in the series. D'Angelo was such an amazing character. He is the classic example of the battle between good and evil. At first, D was seen as just this evil drug dealer who killed people ruthlessly. But towards the end of the first season, we get a different view: he's just a guy with a good heart who grew up in the wrong environment.

    I only JUST finished watching all 5 seasons of the Wire for the first time. I regret not doing so much earlier...

  • Wallace is the new Waldo.

  • @Icouldkillamonkey I didn't want to laugh LOL

  • 2 people are payless-wearin' mothafuckas

  • Where's Wallace at!?!

    With those words DeAngelo sealed his fate. That evil Stringer Bell decided to take him out after this.

  • Taken out of context it loses some impact, but you can feel the emotion knowing why D is so upset if you have seen the episodes, even if you haven't witnessed the series that's some powerful shit and incentive enough to go out and watch the greatest series that graced television.

  • lol @ how string grabs his coat and slams the door as he leaves.

  • @DonArun1 OK, I will...

  • Undoubtably a great scene, undoubtably not the best in the wire. That could only be the one where D'Angelo explains the rules of chess to his young charges.

  • The best scene in the Wire, for my money, is when McNulty confronts Brianna and tells her that he has evidence that D was killed by Stringer's people. He says something along the lines of: "I would have told you sooner, but the evidence wasn't clear; and the way you treated him, I didn't think you'd care."

  • This scene never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

  • fuck Waldo!! "Where's Wallace" Where the fuck is Wallace would make a nice t-shirt.

  • I've just finished the first season of The Wire, and all I can say is that it's the absolute bollocks. And I've still got four more left to watch? Fuck, I'm gonna enjoy it. D'Angelo is probably my favourite character along with Omar. The latter is only a bit-part player, yet has such a huge influence on the case itself. And he's the Don.

    How did this series not win an Emmy?

  • @xXIbanezJamesXx You lucky bastard. I wish I could experience it all again.

  • i think, in a close race, this is possibly my favorite scene in all of the wire

  • @djdorama

    so many to choose from!

    omar testifying against bird

    omar/brother mouzone standoff

    bunks rant at omar

    frank sobotkas rant against bunk 

  • Larry Gilliard, Jr. is a superb actor and he Played that Character beautifully

    That's Why I did'nt feel bad when Omar and brother Mouzon finally kill stringer Bell.

  • Aight ya stupid muhf*cka! AAAAHHHH!! that party gets me EXCITED!!

  • R.I.P.

  • Incredible scene. It's power derives from the fact that it is loaded with an emotional punch that, at that point, had been nearly a full season in the making. It was the inevitable climax of slow, meticulous character and story development. This is where TV trumps the movies. TV has months, years to slowly develop the story. The truly great series use it to full effect, in scenes like these. The only other show that comes close in this regard is Mad Men: The Wheel scene, for instance.

  • One of my favorite scenes of all time. D'Angelo is such a morally conflicted character, it's great.

  • Poor De Angelo man ... he was one the the few Barksdale crew who had a heart ... and ended up killed. that's just sad :/

  • The only 4 people i can remember that stood up to Stringer face to face were McNulty, Omar, Brother, and D'Angelo. One had a badge and the other two had guns.

    And they said D was soft.

  • @vF0323 It cost him his girl and his life though!

  • @vF0323

    well there is bulletproof glass between them so nice argument einstein

  • @vF0323 D'Angelo has the bulletproof window and Avon as his uncle... so he was protected too....

  • @vF0323 Avon and Slim Charles as well.

  • @vF0323 ahhh, such a good point!

  • @vF0323 well to be fair he was pretty safe back there in jizzail.

  • @maomaouchi You sure about that?

  • @vF0323 Avon stood up to him. Clay Davis robbed him blind and then basically told him to go fuck himself. I think you're overstating it a bit.

  • This is probably one of my favorites! He was really acting his azz off ( Larry Gilliard)

  • I'm a big fan of the wire and the sopranos, but hands down I'm gonna have to give it to the wire....the wire was one of the those shows that always had your interest, The Sopranos would hit its dry points at times and get too mixed up in tony and lidia's dysfunctional mother son relationship....

  • Where's Wally?

  • sooo...where the fuck is Wallace?

  • @MichaelXboxEvolved dead perhaps... lol

  • Look at me! Where the fuck are my eyebrows!?

  • @YoungZer0 LOL OMG thanks for the laugh!

  • @YoungZer0 lol that was funny i never noticed that untill you said something

  • @YoungZer0 oh shit lol

  • @YoungZer0 hahahahahahaha

  • This scene is powerful. I teared up a little bit, amazing acting.

  • just got into the wire and i just watched this a couple hours ago, i hope omar fucking destroys stringer, bodie and poot, well naw maybe not poot he seemed like he didnt want to do it but maybe shoot him in the leg for not trying to stop it.

  • I love this scene

  • this scene was brilliant as hell. ridiculouss.

  • the wire shits all over the sopranos

  • @chickentiger85 lol hell yeah, I was thinking the same

  • @chickentiger85 i don't know, the wire is a lil more dramatic than the sopranos but at the same time the sopranos has its moments.....kinda hard to even make that comparison. buy the wire is the truth.

  • @chickentiger85 Indeed, the wire is realistic, authentic... Not that the sopranos is bad, but you can't compare the two...

  • This scene is just awesome

  • *breath* .. "deangelo, shut your mouth"

  • shit man I knew this would be on youtube. classic shit.

  • WHERE DA FUCK IS WALLACE?!

  • fucking string, stupid motherfucker

  • Hmm Stringer, Answer him

  • Probably my single favorite scene in the entire series.

  • The scene with D in season 2, (I don't want to elaborate due to spoiling it for others) was the worst part of the entire show.

  • I agree, this is the best scene. Very powerful.

  • I've seen every episode of the wire and though i love them all...for some strange reason..this is my favorite seen. like my man said....fucking brillant.

  • ".........D'angelo Shut the Fuck Up"

  • D'Angelo, shut your mouth. --The Wire police

  • touché lol

  • The only scenes in the whole series that are upsetting to me are when Wallace, Dee, and String get killed but it's funny cause I shouldn't be upset when Stringer gets killed cause he caused the death of Wallace and Dee.

  • what about bodie?

  • @anto1982 ME TOO LOL

  • *tear

  • i think this scene right here is the real reason stringer had d'angelo killed. he got bitched out

  • one of my favorite scenes from the best show ever

  • Larry Gilliard Jr is a fantastic actor, and this is one of my favourite scenes of the entire series. Is it true that the wire never won an emmy? If so, that's a fucking disgrace and diminishes the emmys.

  • @antoniodcz i think they got 1 nomination lol. wtf is that bs

  • @SoapSudz101

    won nothing. emmy's mean NOTHING. All politics. THIS IS THE GREATEST THING TO GRACE TV AND MOST THINGS

  • Where's Wallace at?

    Where's the boy String?

    Where's Wallace? That's all I want to know.

    Where the fuck is Wallace!?! String! String! Look at me. LOOK AT ME!

    WHERE THE FUCK IS WALLACE!?!!

  • I don't want this payless-wearing motherfucker representing me

  • LMAO, The Wire be having moments like that, that just sneak p on you,lol....I was soooooo into the drama, I had to rewind that to see what he said,lol...Poor D! He was such a GOOD man...an Intelligent Man. It was hard to see him go done the way he did...just for simply being an angel in the devil's playground.

  • wallace was the man stringer is a prick an its a amazin when he gets blasted by omar

  • Thanks for the spoiler, dickhead.

  • you're a genius for watching it

  • aichewstupit muhfucka

  • Hell, it's probably not the best scene in that episode. The scene where D "flips" and gives up all the murders is the one that gets me. You see so clearly just how wide the gap is between his experience, and the experience of everyone else in the room. They can lock him away, but they can't know what and where he's coming from.

  • omgggg.. Idris Elba is so sexxxiii

  • Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, the hell he is!!

  • That's fucking amazing acting, you feel the hurt and the anger of D who probably loved Wallace like a brother.

  • I agree...Fucking Brillant.

  • String killed Wallace cause Wallace said his name but he didn't have to kill Wallace.

    That Wallace scene hurts everytime I see it, I can't even look at it no more. Powerful T.V. show

  • go wash the bottom of your feet dirty cunt .

  • Wallace be dead.

  • wallace is dead.

  • Thank you Professor Fucknuts.

  • you're welcome. and don't call me shirley.

  • String was looking at him,but not in the eyes because he knows that D'angelo had begged him and Avon not to murder Wallace.D was pissed cause he just got caught with a key and they want him to take the weight for it but they couldn't even honor his wishes.

  • im right here! keel me! im right here! get to da choppa! yargurrg

  • Hahaha, nice Predator reference.
