@razieldumas Nice obvservation. The "set fire to everything you touch" line describes Jimmy to a tee. Even when he means well, his recklessness destroys everything around him. Season 5 is the epitome of that.

This scene says a lot about McNulty and Freamon and their approach to policework, along with what the job means to them. They both want to make the arrest, they both want to take Bell down, but for Jimmy it's an ego game. It's about his desire to prove how clever he is, and take down Bell on his own. Meanwhile, Lester wants to take Bell down because it's the right thing to do, and is willing to expend the time and effort on the boring part of the job. Jimmy just wants to do the sexy part.

Excellent scene. Love both characters. "Check on those f*ckin' properties..."

I love Freamon.

In my opinion, the headline gets buried when talking about this scene. Everyone knew that Jimmy was in it for himself, cops and viewers alike. But what Freamon says to Kima is so on the money that I think it gets lost in the shuffle. Of all the people on the team, she was the moral center, the one with the most steadfast adherence to the true policework and the people she was accountable for and to & she broke from her roots by going with McNulty. As always, Lester is right on the money here.

@SomethingRules I guess part of the difference lies in the fact that here, the Major Crimes is functional and pursuing a real target. In season 5, the MCU and the rest of the BPD has been gutted. The job isn't there, and he's not reporting directly to anybody he respects. Although by acting so recklessly and unethically, Freamon is more profoundly betraying Daniels' trust. But you're right, it seems out of character -- also with the scene where Lester tells McNulty, "The job will not save you."

LOL at the end where Freamon says "Check on those fuckin' properties." Even though he just tore Jimmy a new one, he knows the Irishman has a point.
