Three Men & Adena 6

Part six of the Homicide: Life on the Street episode "Three Men & Adena".

Araber: [to Tim Bayliss] "You from Baltimore, right? Do you say BAWL-mer or BALL-di-more? Come on, say it. I'll tell you which neighborhood you're from. I rode the streets. I talk to people. Say Baltimore, and I'll tell you within ten blocks where you were born. Yeah, you from here. You got that home grown look. The not too southern, not too northern, not on the ocean but still on the water look. With maybe a touch of inbreeding."

Did he kill her?

After watching all 6 clips lol, he never confess to it. What am i missing?

Great clip btw.

I wonder how long it took them to do this whole episode?

[easilyjaded2]

It's never revealed. There's a few minutes left of the episode after this clip, but I didn't put it up (it involves Pembleton trying to comfort Bayliss, Bayliss taking the photograph of Adena and putting it on his desk, and the Araber sitting in the coffee room, seemingly with his own demons). Adena is mentioned frequently throughout the series, but unfortunately the Araber dies (as his counterpart does in real life also) and thus it is never truly revealed whether or not the Araber killed Adena

Andre Braugher & Moses Gunn incredible performance!!!

[easilyjaded2]

And Kyle Secor as well. He really drove home an emotional, great performance.

So the Araber says 'You got your dark side... ... and all you see is an AMATEUR.'I mean, what TV show, that announced itself as a truly honest, character driven cop show shouts out, at the beginning of the show that one of their pivotal characters (I mean, he opens and closes the series, for golly!) is a loser. And despite the ups and downs, the twists of actions and the revealings, for the entire 7 seasons, Bayliss never actually stirs one bit away from the Araber's projection.

A couple of things here.

He said she wanted to dance and he refused.

Dancing is a part of the mating ritual, not just among humans but the lower orders as well.

The avocado that he tried to talk her out of is an Aztec fertility fruit, it means "testical" in fact.

The peach represents innocence.

He was struggling with signals he thought Adena was sending.

She was maturing and it disturbed him, in large part because his feelings had grown inappropiate regarding her.

Brilliant stuff.

the whole interrogation is one of the best moments in Homicide: LOTS and one of the finest dramatic scene filmed in 20 years.

Moses Gunn last performance before his death that year

[pvbklyn]

This to me was the best episode of what is an incredible series. And what an unbelievable performance by Moses Gunn. Unfortunately this was Mr. Gunn's last performance. He died a few months later.

[DonVila]

The part at the end (which isn't in this group) has Bayliss doubting his own theory. Pembleton, who has been skeptical of it all along, tells Bayliss that he is now sure. Bayliss was right all along - the guy is guilty. It's a nice twist.

Without this great show, and the book that started it all, there would never have been The Wire.

Gunn deserved the Emmy

[justaloe]

The greatest episode of a dramatic tv show in the last 20 years.

[patjah]

This episode is phenomenal - TV doesn't get better than this.

[hollywoodwerewolf]

in all the police interrogations on all the police shows I've watched this was the most brilliantly acted, intense example.

@RaytheRat  I couldn't get into NYPD blue but I thought boomtown was great and should not have been cancelled.

[Neko91485]

I thought this was the one of the best episodes of the entire series; maybe even in criminal dramas in general. Smart, intense, chilling, and some great acting.
