The Wire - McNulty has a theory

scene

[CounterCultureCantCount]

Bunk & Lester were such an underrated duo.

[HighLordBlazeReborn]

Idk why, but "you deductive motherfucker, you" gets me every time lmao

[tipdub]

I love how his face just falls as he realizes that they already reached the same conclusion as he did.

[shinlanten]

When *_"natural poh-lice"_* meets *_"natural poh-lice"_*

[iandhr]

"I'm feeling pretty damn collateral myself." Lester is awesome.

[SavoPaddy]

McNulty had his moments, mercurial and the most willing to cross the line, Bunk was solid; but Lester was the man.

[theuscivicsnerd]

This isn't just a stab at McNulty but basically the whole Sherlock Holmes trope of detective movies and series.

[joedurant]

I love how The Wire does romantic relationships... they always take a backseat to the whatever the main story is focused on, but look closely and you can pick up subtle hints of chemistry gradually blossoming. It's happening here with Mcnulty and Beadie... it also happens in season 3 with Daniels and Pearlman.

[reddavis]

Lester and Bunk as a detective team would make a great cop show on its own.

[connorduquette]

Never noticed them sowing the seeds of Jimmy and Beadie so early.

[thedragonbroke]

I love how good of a job they did with the characters having Baltimore accents

[Broyale]

McNulty apologizing for the short con while setting up the long con.

[Mvs]

"Hes gonna answer his own question" lol

[chriskwon]

Bunk knew what was up at 2:20. He was like damn girl, jimmy's my man and all but you sure you wanna go there? LOL

[gabrielrooks]

McNulty was like damn, "I ain't the only smart one".

[oisinpowell]

That sticker at the end "I <3 city life" is such a nice touch.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Thing is McNulty arrived at this by himself whereas they had a team of 3.

[randellgoering]

I love the banter!! Even Beetie gets in on it. 😂😂😂😂

[budders]

It was really sad his slip back into booze between season 4 and 5.

[kevinhillary]

1:02 “he’s gonna ask us all in question, ” McNulty just gettin roasted over here
