Do you know what we do here, mcnulty? What we do here? That was one of them... what is it?A question you don't have to... A rhetorical question. You were beingrhetorical. Rhetorical and reasonable, sir. We work murder cases here, as they come in,one at a fucking time. It's a rotation. You're up till you catch one,then you step down, work it, someone else steps up. It's a simple but effective way to do businessin a town that has 250 to 300 cases a year. Yes, sir. But if someone gets it into his headto leave the rotation, it puts an unfair burden on the detectiveswho have to pick up their casework. Ovennorked cops make mistakes. Mistakeslower the unit-wide clearance rate. And that can make someonewho is othennise as reasonable as me

Movie Summary
Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.
