In the first episode of The Wire, this sentence tells the purpose, "This is never a victory, because victory will end."
The first episode focuses on the Baltimore city police will form a team to start the investigation of the Barksdale drug cartel. The investigation is all about Detective Jimmy McNulty. In the trial of DeAngela Barksdale, key witnesses interim confession, allowing DeAngela to successfully exonerate. After the court, McNulty revealed to Judge Daniel Phelan that the witness may have been threatened by the defendant's uncle, Iwan Barksdale's men, and was forced to change his tune because he saw Iwan at the trial scene. Deputy Stinger Bell and several other gang members. McNulty also told Judge Phelan that the Barksdale gang was involved in a large drug deal and multiple unsolved murders, but no one was investigating their crimes. Judge Phelan then complained to the top police officers, embarrassing them, so they ordered a task force to investigate Barksdale. But the top management did not really want to investigate the case, but just to perfunctory judges. A game is played between the police officer who wants to investigate the case and the boss who obstructs the investigation, while the commander of the task force, Cedric Daniels, is caught in a dilemma.
The second episode tells about the establishment and perfection of the team. All departments are reluctant to leave their excellent employees, but in the face of pressure from the leaders, they chose the person they disliked in the team and gave Lance Redick a team. Team James witness's death and team members looking for excitement at 2am blinded 14-year-old. See how to deal with it later?
People never know who invented it, but they know who carried it forward.
You can't lose and you can't win if you don't join. Before joining, think about whether you can afford to lose.
