The Wire - Season Five Opening Scene

The Bunk extracts a confession from a suspect using manipulation and a mock polygraph test. His reasoning gives the episode its epigraph "the bigger the lie, the more they believe." (Season 5 Episode 1 "More with Less")

Pure gold. Got to watch this one more time, one of the best series of all time.

Don't be stupid. Have you watched they show? This kids are from the worst neighborhoods in Baltimore, no education, no commonsense...all they know is dealing and killing. Even then that's a very ignorant thing to say.

[SolomonTheSloth]

The trick for getting past these polygraph machines, not in this of course, is to sneak something sharp and poke it on your finger to concentrate your attention. Maybe like a nail or tack. But lie detectors don't give enough evidence they just shorten the suspect list.

You idiot!

[yemboy42]

It wasn't cancelled. It ended.

[robot0face]

whoever said "...we American people are stupid..." delivered that line pooooorly!

[hardcore1381]

That just makes you look stupid.

[dubiumguy]

Because "Americans are stupid people by and large". They failed to recognise how brilliant this show was and carried on watching shitty reality TV shows like American Idol.
