Homicide: Frank Pembleton 01

[danathor99]

Love the fact that Isaiah Washington's character is called Lane Staley, in homage to Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, probably one of the greatest rock singers of all time...

if u want to see all of the shows they are at your library for free

[proudbluestaterful]

can't find great acting like this on network tv. i use to see th cast around baltimore, md where this was filmed, yaphet use to frequent the market in my neighborhood always very gracious

[steviezace]

Brilliant Acting at it's Finest

[charlestonchewy]

You know it hit me. Didn't Isaiah Washington kick Andre Braugher's butt in "Get on the Bus?"

[zackhanscom]

also, completely unrealistic portrayal of human behavior just for the sake of "omg that nigger is so cool and could totally pwn by sadomasochist asshole" effect.

[jazzzphannn]

Pembleton and Bayless best crime drama pairing ever. Never to be duplicated

[publica74]

It's sad but brothers always act this way in front of White men with authority....White Man's ice is colder I guess....

[zackhanscom]

@publica74 it's clear the two black characters shown have a history. and the bald detective shows disdain for not having his work recognized by his boss negro.

[michaelotte54]

Genius.

[jtclaf]

Best cop show ever!!!!!!

[TheMatrix72370]

How about Baltimore's best homicide detective, Frank Pembleton, interrogates Baltimore's most famous psychopathic serial killer, Hannibal Lecter, as played by Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs? I've been dreaming of that showdown since this show started. My feeling is, whoever wrote it would have to be completely fair and unbiased to both characters and not let his/her favorite win unless it fit with the story.

[artytoons]

Pembleton in The Box...be afraid...be very afraid.

[mucprinrb]

@artytoons Pembleton had no mercy for anyone in The Box.

[artytoons]

@mucprinrb -

Pembleton and company turning killers into Jello.  Always a "Homicide" highlight.

[edavismookie25]

Great scene and great show. I miss it!

[Oaktownrob]

Now, that's a Real actor! Bravo Andre Braugher.

[publica74]

OOOOOHHH!!!! I remember this one!! Classic Frank Pembleton !

[fskoti]

I don't understand, Pembleton got a false confession? I'm not to this episode now... they are airing this on the Centric network if anyone is trying to find the series being aired on TV.

[Russlan01]

He does get a false confession but that's not the end of the story.

[fskoti]

Isaiah Washington is fantastic here.

[EMesaros]

to fskoti--I would love to find this!  Centric does not sound familiar to me. Is this a geogrphic problem? I am in NE Ohio.

[fskoti]

Centric is apparently what BET Jazz has been re-branded as. It's great because (I think) every night on their channel, they play an episode of Miami Vice and two episodes of Homicide.

[EMesaros]

@fskoti Thanks! I wish I could get this channel. I guess we don't have it here. Darn!

[djdunleavy]

@fskoti Frank is making a point. Most of what he says to Gee is sarcastic.

Gee then comes out and erases the name and puts it back to red.

[ccfc73]

Frank Pembleton is one of the great characters in television history.

And now the awesomeness that is Andre Braugher is on House with the awesomeness that is Hugh Laurie.

[mrcharliecharles]

Andre Braugher is such a fantastic actor in homicide it's a shame his career seems to have not really gone any where after it. He is one of my favourite characters in tv ever.

[Russlan01]

He does eventually reject the confession but that part is not included in this clip.

[kolst8406]

I watched the show when it first aired and thought G rejected the confession in the end. Did he actually accept it?

[BeautyU2U]

Gosh...Andre Braughter and Isaiah Washington together = bliss. LOL. Love both actors but Frank was so wrong for making him confess (lmao) just for G.

[easilyjaded2]

Braugher is absolutely brilliant in this. One of my favorite interrogations ever.
