The Wire - Bird Is Interrogated, Bunk Meets Omar

Season 1, Episode 7 "One Arrest"-Bird is "questioned" by Kima and McNulty about the William Gantt shooting, while Bunk talks to his eyewitness, Omar, just outside the interview room.

[@mfreeman313]

@@dxwallace55 One of the super-cool things about this show was how its fascination with intelligence, the different forms it takes, and how that plays out in a person's life and social relations, was a huge subtheme that was always in play. Most of the principal characters were highly intelligent, although some-Herc comes to mind-were less so. But if you look at Stringer and Avon, you can see that Stringer's intelligence didn't really serve him well on the street, which he had less and less interest in, or in the so-called legit world either, where his lack of experience was a handicap. Avon had adapted his intelligence perfectly to the street, but in the end it wasn't enough, because his concern with his rep undid him.

​@@mfreeman313 All well said. I find so many "interpretations" and observations about the Wire from a million different angles Love hearing what stuck out to other people the most. I remember Bunk's eyes lighting up when Omar mentioned Lacrosse or as Omar calls it ("That Game with the Stick"), I just wanted to digest the implications of it. I could relate to Bunk because I was an "egghead", wanted to be hard like any young kid, but back in Chicago, the gang-bangers didn't let me hang out with them, they called me "School Boy" just like Bunk, baseball was my thing (Back then, if you were book-smart, then you better play sports to fit in!!!)....but lucky the gang-bangers gave me a "hands off" pass, because their mothers knew our mothers.

In that 5 seconds, it conveyed how the interrogation was going. I know it's a minor detail, and anyone can infer that it's not going well by how Bird was badmouthing every soul he met there, but still. The fact that they put it in alone is enough. Also, it's a hilarious enough scene on it's own. I crack up every time I see it.

He hates being detailed to the Sobotka case, but he gives Landsman clearances all 5 seasons. He's a career guy in his own way, and also maybe the one true Natural Poh-Leece.

Bunk was ok. Good from the aspect of being a homicide detective. But in his interactions with Randy Wagstaff you can see that he's lost a piece of his soul and is a touch corrupted by the job. Bunk has some idea what happened to Randy from talking with Carver and Herc but all he cares about is pressuring Randy into giving up info. Sure that's being a good murder police but if the Randy helps him, the kid is going to pay an immediate price for the second time. Bunk couldn't care less. Catching the bad guys, closing cases, and winning is more important to Bunk than people are. Bunk has been in the job so long he doesn't even see Randy as a child who needs healed, helped and protected. He sees another street thug he needs to work to get info. Don't get me wrong, I love Bunk but he's missing a heart.

Comically out of place romances (like the lawyer, don't dip your pen in the company ink fellas), doing corrupt shit to get at the bad guys(the homeless serial killer), and eventually making his superiors so angry at him that they kick him to beat cop without too much fuss.

[@madgavin7568]

Thugs like Bird who probably have an IQ lower than 90 and never went to high school, only understand inner base instincts like strength (violence). Too ignorant and stupid to know any better.

[@ray.shoesmith]

The scenes with Omar and Bird were my fav in the entire series. Omars testimony, the scene where Bird walks past Omar and McNulty on the way to jail. So funny 😂

[@tshepomathibeng3423]

Bird's facial expressions kill me🤣🤣🤣🙌

[@daviddoell2085]

love this szene. the understanding between bunk and omar. the bird actor just being brilliant with insane aggresion. how omar is enjoying quietly and just coming up with the "bird for sure know how bring it out in people don't he"

[@DodderingOldMan]

Because Omar quotes it back to Bunk when he's begging him to essentially save his life by transferring him out of the cell block he ends up in after Marlo frames him for robbery and murder. That's why I love this show. Something that happens multiple seasons later calls back to a crucial earlier moment, and trusts the viewer to pick up on it.

[@stevenscott3175]

True but framing Omar like that was weak. Bitch shit. Not to mention it wouldn't work cus Omar not only had a code he also had an MO

[@8.21productions9]

I love Jay. he’s such a hilariously underrated character.

[@necrotyk1985]

yeah, the moment they refused to give him his lawyer is the moment they risked having him walk.

[@coolzhowful]

with levy as his lawyer, it’s a possibility he gets him off on that basis

[@HO-vt5pk]

@@coolzhowful levy was a different breed he’s like saul goodman

[@bodybldrmarcus]

The talk between Omar and Bunk is classic! I love the dialogue pieces on this show!

[@joshnlevinson]

Wendell Pierce and MKW are two of the best actors to ever grace the television screen, hands down. The scenes between them in this show were magical.

[@theman2017inc]

Just heard the sad news of his passing @the age of 54, Omar Little aka actor Michael K Williams REST IN PEACE 😔💔

[@MrCHITOWN247]

That Bird/McNulty stare down is fucking hilarious

[@GamerHumble]

Facts!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@williammartin2593]

I LOVE the lacrosse reference.. I played lacrosse in Balmer at just that time, and it WAS a private school thing.

[@banyarling]

Also black kids basically couldn't go to Baltimore private schools until the 80s

[@coreytrevor3910]

What I like about this show and esp this scene with Bunk and Omar is that Bunk takes a second before he grabs the clipboard and makes a decision that effects the rest of the series. And it's that he see's Omar as himself. He knows a few bad decisions is the difference between him and Omar. But one that distinction is made, its done. You can't go either way again. You are what you are at that point. After Bunk here's Omar remembers him he perks up as a cop and see's value in him. A chance to clear a lot of murders and have an ace in his pocket for all future murder's. He knows he can trust him as he has no reason to lie as even tho Omar is a bad person, he embraces what he is and uses it as a strength every day. Which is what Bunk does. They respect each other a lot because they are the same person. Married to the person they chose to become.

[@tankmaster1018]

Love how many musicians they incorporated into this show!

[@Ram0nAlan]

The Wire is the most lovely thing in the recent history of storytelling. To see game of thrones killed by incompetence, not that that show has anything to do with this one, this is pure gold!

[@Leufane]

My 2 favorite shows of all time

[@fabiobonetta5454]

Every thing every scene and character, no matter how small, is a jewel in the Wire

[@thomasbrown3356]

This clip leaves the funniest parts. When the detective peers thru the window and sees Bird 'sleeping in la la land'. Omars line, "Bird sho knows how to bring out the worst in people." Lol

[@elloowu6293]

The police in this show are so realistic I love it

[@Canuck204]

‘A man must have a code’ - Bunk. Truer words never been spoken.

[@anjelheaven]

I love this scene. How awesome is Sonja Sohn's voice?

[@michaelfasano8569]

I love Kima glancing over at the report and then with a sly smile looking back at Bird.

[@csmakio]

"Bird sure do know how to bring it out of people don't he?"

[@rwarren4637]

Bird still cursing Landsman as they beat the brakes off him is hilarious!!!😂😂😂😂 he slept good after that beatdown!

[@janicerosen]

"Bird sure know how ta bring it out in people, con't he" 😂

[@Shlogger]

I never picked up that Bunk says that line first and then Omar kind of carries it the rest of the series. Like so many others their characters keep intertwining over the years. It's so relevant to the entire show as well. You see honest portrayals of the consequences of the adherence to whichever individual code that each character follows played out over time.

[@brians7901]

Imagine the childhood that produced bird

[@simonboccanegra3811]

In a later season, when Parenti the social worker thinks older teens are the best subjects for the study, and Bunny arranges some up-close time with one of those older teens to show him how bad an idea that is, we're essentially seeing "Baby Bird."

[@AGoodEgg_]

Can’t help but feel Kennard ended up as Bird

[@luisruizbeza5350]

1:59 one of the most important details of the show

[@mackb909]

Omar: "Bird know how to bring it outta people, don't he?"

[@yawgmoth6568]

Just realized Landsman said Lexus. Not Cadillac. Snoop would be proud.

[@secretcrocodile7499]

"Seeing as how you are being generous with your recollections" hahahahha

[@xmikerx666]

No matter how many times I watch this clip Bird's "You fat FUCK" line cracks me up.

[@elevate32767]

Nothing can ever top The Wire. It's a masterpiece

[@ronswanson1410]

Finally watched this series. Honestly there isn't anything in the modern era of television/streaming that comes close to this. 150/100. Best show period.

[@sda2.095]

Really wish Bird had more scenes 😂

[@tsartodd]

if only Bird told the cops to BACDAFUCUP ... i would've died laughing.

[@kharizmatikone1481]

😂😂😂😂😂😂That would've been some serious gutbusting

[@lcricketsfrgl]

bird thats the dude from onyx right?

[@ebony38ish]

Yes

[@amphitheatre]

he looks like sticky fingaz but that ain't him

[@ebony38ish]

rss313 yes it is..: )

[@ebony38ish]

rss313 No, ur right it's not sticky fingaz, his name is Freddo Scruggs, who was a part of Onyx, but he branched off to acting gigs..: )

[@DrMcMoist]

If Daniels had walked into the interrogation room shirtless, Bird would have been singing like a canary.

[@DankstaTV]

Daniels, Kima, McNulty, AND Landsman on Bird. I'm surprised he was physically able to jump over the table at his trial.

[@brandonbates9259]

Well his trial wasn't until the next season,so a good amount of time definitely went by and McNulty didn't come back to the room
