Daniels... is a badass. I like how he refuses to recognize anything other than the job he's doing.
If everyone was like that, all the thugs in suits and ties who call themselves "Senators" and "Presidents", would be behind bars, hopefully for life.
@@truebeliever786 Trump will be behind bars soon enough.
Benjamin O'Donnell Come again?
@@benjaminodonnell258 how did that go again?
@@carlgustafemilmannerheim5661 Well it isn't over yet, now is it? Let us not forget there are cases being sat on until the day he is no longer President... and only because of this bullshit memo from DOJ suggesting that a sitting President cannot be indicted. He will enjoy no such privilege once he is no longer in office. Whether that is a few more months or 4 more years doesn't matter.
RIP Lance Reddick. This was my favorite Lt Daniels scene and he was definitely one of my fave characters. Another great actor from this series gone too soon.
Damn he just died, rip, first omar now this dude
He was such a hard nosed real police in this show and i loved it, didnt let snakes crack him under pressure
Clay Davis vernacular depends on the situation. he has his senator voice and his street voice lol
jason b It’s code-switching in action
74kjohnson most PEOPLE do, dumb asshole lol
@74kjohnson its in the Bibel, the "Voice of god" an old-timey ventriloquist
@@suckinDiesel44 I'm black and bilingual i code switch in both languages.
I have to
@@stagm3 Dude, He's black, so the heck what? What is so wrong mentioning someone's race or color? Be happy it wasn't a racial slur.
0:30 “I’m not involved with drugs Lieutenant!”
“Good.”
"Gewd."
@@pumpkin6429 No wonder he can transition into a African accent so seamlessly, it's almost like he just had to turn a dial on his voice.
LMFAOOOOOOO like”you want a cookie? or something”
Once his "charms" don't work on Daniels he starts talking street lol
Code-switching at its finest.
save that silver tongue bullshit
Clay Davis is the most corrupt character on the show. It's not even close.
I just wish you woulda run it by me sooner
Brendissimo - Most corrupt character on any show ever. The man literally never did anything honest, lied with ever breath of air.
Sheeeeeiiit
Idk Levy up himself
Levy??? They are a close one and two.
Lance Reddick was so convincing as playing Lieutenant Daniels that he had me thinking he was an actual lieutenant of a police force. Amazing job acting not just by Lance Reddick, but everyone in this scene.
It's so hard to believe him playing a crackhead in the Corner if you already know him from the Wire
He actually tried out for the part of Bubbles
Everyone in this series
Lance Reddick almost played Bubbles. Can you imagine?
@@Madvillainy48 I heard that somewhere. He's an incredible actor so he probably can pull it off, but I can't imagine it. With his voice and demeanor, he was a perfect fit for a policemen.
"I'm not involved in drugs Lieutenant!" Smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Out here doing the Lord's work 😂
“Good.” Hahaha 😂
@@alexisk1659 I loved that.
Already denying before being accused 😂😂😂
Funny how the smug piece of shit talks DOWN to a liuetenant (which is a solid middle management position)
1:43
LOL Clay Davis is like, "Oh, well. I tried to be civil. Time to let the tiger out."
Davis’ code switch was the greatest part of the entire scene lmao
1:44 is when he lost patience, hilarious + Burell at the end looking at Cedric in disbelief.
@@martindg93ar rse1
The actor playing Clay Davis is tremendous. All of his little idiosyncrasies are the work of a master actor and impressionist. I thought he was one of the best parts of the series.
SShhhiiieeeeettttttt!
You can tell he had a lot of fun with the role.
I saw him in another movie where he was a cop. He still did the "shieeeet" line and I started cracking up.
@@michaelshields632625th hour. Good movie
25th Hour
"There's no crime heeere..." man, that's one way to tick off a cop's alarms...
Right! "No officer, I haven't been drinking and driving"
I love how they try to railroad and bully Daniels and he shoves that shit back in their face.
anything else deputy Burell
Eh, more like Daniels just walks around the shit pile instead of running into it to pull down Davis and Burrell.
Robert Switzer you couldn’t be any more wrong lol
You know, if Daniels REEEAAAALLY wanted to hurt Burrell and Clay, he could have just pointed out how FAT and UGLY they both are.....as well how miserable and ugly their wives probably are.
He'd probably get fired for it, but those two would probably cry themselves to sleep that night.
burrell and clay would rather get covered in shit than let the world see them work a shovel
The actor who played Clay Davis is the same guy who briefly played the doctor who gave a coked up Henry Hill some pills in Goodfellas when the helicopter was chasing Henry around.
ha! good catch
cmooon lemme check you ouuut
hes the Fed who snatches Edward Norton in 25th hr.when he fucks with him about his couch and all the russians heroin is it
@@batchagaloopytv5816 He even says his signature line: "Sheeeeeiiiit."
Tommy LaKindaSorta yes sir
the acting in this show is just fucking awesome
Daniels was real police. Love it how he doesn't back down from these two hacks!
There was more education about United States civics in this one scene than in most 12th grade social studies classes.
There is more truth in your post than the whole election 2016 campaign
are you a product of baltimore schools?
It's hard to threaten a guy that has a law degree to fall back on.
True
@Akshay Natu his point was the daniels could be a lawyer or any other number of careers so he wasn't entirely dependent on being a cop, he had a lot more skills so he wasn't intimated by threats of job loss alone like most other cops.
Akshay Natu then why bring up his law degree anyway that would be wasted dialogue of course the chain of command you’re expected to swallow shit but he can say I’ve had enough fuck this all of my eggs are not stuck in this one career like the rest of you
Akshay Natu he could also be a powerful and rich lawyer at a firm or be DA one day with his experience in law enforcement. So threats don’t mean shit to daniels he’s a G
Not if you know more about the law than them.
One of the greatest tragedies of the show is that Daniels never got a real go at being commissioner. He would’ve been incredible.
Well, actually, he DID. When he got there, he refused to play ball and never made it out of his confirmation hearing. He'd tell you it was worth it.
Johnathon Haney I said never got a real go. In other words he didn’t have time to make any real changes.
Plus if iirc, he was acting commissioner and was never actually sworn in for the job.
If anything, The Wire shows that individuals are shaped by their social position and in turn they move up or down based on whether they play by the rules of that position. If they attempt to move out of those bounds (like Stringer, for example), they are crushed by their institutions, because they have committed hubris, by the exact meaning the word has in Ancient Greek. The Wire, after all, is pretty much written like a Greek tragedy, as its creators have shared. So, in short, Daniels couldn't have made Commissioner, because he wasn't meant for it. If he had made it and started cowboying out, he would have been swiftly brought down.
Reality this happens
He is too decent to be a commissioner.
The 55 dislikes were from Damon Price, the mayor, the city caucus, and the state central committee
The actor who plays Clay Davis gave such a great performance as a dirty machine politician that even after 20 years I still come back to watch these videos of him. What a guy.
You know what's fucking horrifying about this scene, is Clay Davis is almost every politician in this world just without the charm.
I think a lot of them are more like Carcetti or Royce, but there are certainly a decent amount of Clay Davises out there lol
When he says "You ain't just talkin' to me now, Erv. You talkin to the mayor, the caucus blah blah blah", that line made my BLOOD BOIL. That is REAL politics right there people!!!!!! All in cahoots behind the same sleazy, shady shit!!!
Nah, Obama had plenty of charm, but behind closed doors he authorized so many drone strikes that resulted in so many innocent bystanders killed that an unprecedented number of drone operators had to be treated for PTSD. Even then-General Mattis complained to Obama about how many of the drone strikes seemed to unnecessarily risk the lives of civilians. He was asked to retire because of those complaints.
@@gladysthegroovymule3411 They enter politics as Royce end up being clay davis

I wasted my time studying political science. All I had to do was just watch this scene.
I thought I wanted to study Poly science but honestly, no offense lol but other than some cool historical stuff I can learn on my own it doesn't appear all that important if you have charisma and just watch The Wire! Economics (at least for pre-law) seems more rewarding even without pre-law.
The wire is politics on every level
The Wire would've been Niccolo Machiavelli's favorite show if he were alive today
and now you have tens of thousands of pounds of debt and work in an office
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are great shows with a similar political theme. Very educational and entertaining. Really shows you how the bureaucracy and politics really work
This scene pretty much sums up what politics is all about.
John Shane Doesn’t it though?
Specially not every politician is a Clay Davis, but they tolerate the clay davis among them
To politicians all money is good, it doesn't matter if the money comes from certain pedophiles or what not.
@@Gnomelord0 I don't know that they tolerate them, so much as it's hard to get rid of the Clay Davises of the world for the reasons you see in this scene. Those guys get their hands in so many pockets, and get so many people on the take with them, that being that one person trying to take it all down is almost impossible.
It's like dealing with crooked cops. Once that corruption gets so ingrained in everything, it's hard to go against it. You can risk your entire career, possibly getting black-balled from working nearly anywhere, and you might not even make a dent in the process.
I think the show touches on this theme in a lot of ways. Thinking of Bunny, he saw a problem, knew that they weren't really fixing it and that politics and them kicking in doors wouldn't do it, so he tried to make his own fix and ended up getting busted down for it.
@callmecatalyst Well done!
Daniels trying to make him a scapegoat for the whole damn machine? Sheeeeeeeeeeeit
If poker face was a person, it would be Cedric Daniels 😂
My favourite character on the whole show. Brilliantly understated acting too.
This show was so well cast, Clay's face just screams conman!
He's like that in real life too, have you seen him charging for autographs?
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
For some reason, this was my absolute favorite scene from season one.
Definitely up there for me two, for a few reasons. I love how Cedric was quite iffy about this whole case in the beginning, now he's confident and defiant to his superiors here because of what he's uncovered and seen. And, for some reason, I love how Clay flips from calm and cool to ferocious without almost no warning.
+Leon Lombardi He went from state to street.
@@Capcoor.........actually it went from 'sugar to shit'.
@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
This was in season 3 or 4 not sure, good scene nonetheless
Clay Davis' first scene in the show: "I want to reassure you I'm not involved in drugs"
literally self report lmao
Cash the damn cheques, count the votes and move on!
....and that's how government works.
Fucked up, but too true
@Akshay Natu Oh, the Clay Davises of this world know, they know very well. And take the money anyway, hoping they don't get burnt. But hope isn't much of a legal defence.
From calm and composed to straight ghetto in an instant, shiiieeettt!!!
Daniels shows how to handle two malignant narc's
Remain calm, show no emotions, reveal nothing.
State the facts and only talk in terms of the facts.
Refuse to argue.
Know when to exit.
Burrell doesn't strike me as a narcissist, more a careerist hack who does what he's told and doesn't think much outside of politics.
Clay Davis though definitely is a narcissist.
Daniels is the true underrated badass of this show, has the most intense presence on TV.
He's not underrated at all, he was well noticed.
MANE 💯 💯 💯
"Theee clay davisss...down town clay davis"?.
That suppose to mean something to me man? That nigga need to be got
Murder ain't no thang.. but this some ASSASSINATION type shit.

“I’m not in drugs, Lieutenant.” Congrats Clay, you just gave yourself away.
I love that line
"I'm just bleeding a drug kingpin dry!"
The acting on this show makes me proud to be black. So many actors and actresses playing great roles that are so realistic. This show was the best!!!
Rodolfo Jarvis It really was, such a great show
Rodolfo Jarvis They have a great script. But yeah, they're good.
Glimax Great Script??- script is what it is because the actors were allowed to speak as we are!! this is Every day BLACK conversation.
a few years ago when they caught and convicted Whitey Bulger, they had this Duke law professor on the radio. He had worked as a federal prosecutor in Maryland and had been involved in the Bulger case. he made an offhand comment that the wire is so realistic it's practically non-fiction. so true.
best show ever made in my opinion.

Give me a pair of brass knuckles and 30 minutes alone in a soundproof room with someone like Clay Davis. He would be squeaky clean for life after that. Maybe in a wheelchair too.

Good god, he is just so SLEAZY. Give me a pair of brass knuckles and 30 minutes alone in a soundproof room with someone like Burrell or Clay Davis. He would be squeaky clean for life after that. Maybe in a wheelchair too.
I think the thing I love most about The Wire is that it was never just about one thing. It's about the War on drugs, out of control homicides, the crumbling of the inner city education, politicians (corrupt and otherwise), police and their criminal stats game, the media and on and on. It was layered so expertly that its no wonder this is considered one of the best television shows of all time.
For anyone still confused, Daniels basically told Clay “You don’t got anything to be scared of if you don’t have anything to hide.” Clay just made himself look even more guilty be calling up Burrell to end the investigation.
I don't think anyone was confused in the first place, but thanks
@@HAL--vf6cg there a couple of comments a while ago that where confused on what was going on
You know, if Daniels REEEAAAALLY wanted to hurt Burrell and Clay, he could have just pointed out how FAT and UGLY they both are.....as well how miserable and ugly their wives probably are.
He'd probably get fired for it, but those two would probably cry themselves to sleep that night.
Thanks for explaining one of the most obvious scenes in the entire show, if I was still 4 years old I might not have caught it
@@leafsinseven If this is what you consider to be the most the obvious scene in the show, you haven’t watched the show and judging by your comment, you probably really are 4. Have a good day, goofy. 😂
"Mouthaphukka, you need to put his ass on a foot post so far out in the sticks, he sees the Philadelphia cops walking towards him." (Clay Davis)
Just learned Lance Reddick has passed away. RIP to one of the most commanding actors who ever graced a television screen. Him and Michael K Williams so close together is a tragedy.
What other work from Michael K Williams do you recommend?
@@jackjack4412 Boardwalk Empire, The Night Of, Hap & Leonard, and while the show is flawed, he’s still excellent in Lovecraft Country.
2:32 - I looked it up. Appleton, MD is the closest town in Maryland to Philadelphia.
RIP, Lance Reddick. He had such a forceful imposing presence on screen. As if he was wearing the inner strength and nature of the strong character he was playing as a suit. My condolences to his family and friends, I wish them only the best. His fans certainly won't forget him. RIP.
What loved about this show, is that it showed the realities of Street men, businessmen, snakes, leaches, and that does include just about every corrupt politician, w the snakes and leaches, I think we loved this show for its realism, and the harsh realities of the same truth we still live in today.
It's really a shame we need bureaucrats. Unfortunately, they do all the shitty jobs we have no desire to do, because we have our own busy lives to lead. I *sure as fuck* don't want to be responsible for providing tons of people power, water, heat, shelter, transportation, law enforcement, other public services, etc. HELLLLLLLLL NO. Give that crappy job to some asshole in a suit. Unfortunately, when you give someone power like that, they inevitably become greedy, over-ambitious, and corrupt. Human nature. Shame, shame, SHAME.
Give me a pair of brass knuckles and 30 minutes alone in a soundproof room with someone like Burrell or Clay Davis. He would be squeaky clean for life after that. Maybe in a wheelchair too.
I can’t believe that clay Davis really thought that his word was good enough to just end a investigation
99/100 it would've been.
'Mr Price....Damian'
'Day-Day'
ROFL Funny, especially after the table scene Cedric had with Damian.
i love how clay breaks cover and drops the niceties at the end
You can see how Burrell respects Daniel's ability to stand up and not take any shit.
We filed an AMENDED finance report
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love Daniel's "Day-Day" comment, referring internally to his previous encounter with him where he mentioned he'd "love to crack this here crib."
Good days work, GOOD days work.
The look on Burrell's face @2:21..."anything else deputy Burrell?"..😂😂😂😂
He was great on OZ and on The Wire,great actor.
Crazy that Lance Reddick auditioned to play Bunk Moreland, He was perfect as Daniels, cant think of anyone else pulling it off as well as him
I heard Bubbles that he try out for.
put him on a post so far he gonna see the philadelphia police coming towards him.... now thats a far ass post
This show was so good. The acting, the writing, and the direction were all amazing.
People like Davis and Burrell use fear and then hopelessness and in that order. They tried to intimidate Daniels who was having none of it. Down the line they made Daniels know that he was in a hopeless situation and that's when he finally had enough and quit to become an attorney.
RIP Lance Reddick... Daniels one of the only characters to have The Teflon Clay Davis flustered... Sheeeiiiittt!!!!
I love the acting in this scene. They all nailed this. Scenes like this are what made this show one of the best of all time
"There's no crime here...."
"There's no crime here" 😁
I love how he stood his ground. Daniels was fierce
Lance Reddick is just brilliant
Watching Oz and Lt Daniels playing Mobay helps me understand deputy Burrell telling Lt Daniels how he was going crazy in his past days... Lol 😂
Rest in Peace, Lance Riddick. Classic scene...
Everyone perfectly cast!
R.I.P. Lance Riddick
Daniels was one of the moral centres of the entire series
Daniels reminds me of David Goggins. That ice cold stare!
The nuance in the actors voice as he lies his way through the entire conversation is incredible.
RIP. Always loved this scene.
What a wonderful mix of manipulation, lies, strength, integrity, honesty, coercion, collusion and bullying. this is one of the greatest 3 minutes in TV history.
As a “foreigner” this series was so good I went out and bought the whole box set.
It’s the best TV Police series I have ever seen.
It's the best show period
This is 3 heavyweight actors right here 👏
Clay Davis - The physical embodiment of every fucking politician.
Never shake a mans hand sitting down
1:44.....Clayton starts to lose his shit!!!🤣
One of the best scenes on the police side of the show. Daniels was a great character. He has the best facial expressions, wish there were more videos just on Daniels.
The fact that the camera focused on just the handshake without a showing the facial expression of Clay Davis and Daniels tells us everything we need to know about this meeting.
A gentleman always stands to shake hands.
Daniels scarred the 'junk' out of Clay!
More like he scared the sheeeeeeeeeeeet out of Clay
“Ain’t no crime here” saying it with that laugh gives away the guilt lol!
I just noticed Clay is the first person to mention Franklin Terrace by name, clearly he knew money where the money really came from.
“It’s pretty basic. If the senator is not involved in anything illegal, then he doesn’t need to worry. I can’t be any clearer about it than that”
I wish more people could be this direct!!!
Probably one of the greatest 'like a boss' moments ever!
RIP Lance Reddick. Iconic actor. One of the stars of The Wire for sure.
You gotta have a good amount of confidence in yourself to walk in there and hold your ground like Daniels did.
People like Daniels, Lester, and even McNulty have no place in government jobs. They are fighting a hopelessly losing battle. Police departments (and pretty much all government institutions) are irreparably fucked. People just like Rawls, Burrell and Davis are running shit in every department, and they always will. They aren't going to tolerate such rebellious behavior from righteous folks trying to do some good. They will have their ass and badge for breakfast quicker than you can say "bureaucracy".
The only bad part about this show is its based on reality but only scratches the surface.
RIP Lt. Daniels........he didn't take shit from anyone!
Clay Davis actor deserves props, here, too.
Stellar performance!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The Wire" should have racked up on Emmys and the cast should have been invited to do panels/events -- like Comic-Con would host events! 👍🏿👍
I love the dynamics!!! Lieutenant Daniels simply trying to do his job, absolutely unmoved in his stance! Burrell straddling both sides of the fence --can't say one strong sentence either way! And what can I say about Clay Davis? I could say "sheeeeeeiiiiiit!" LOL. I love how Clay is trying to make big efforts to cite legitimacy to Daniels, but quick to let everybody in the room know that he can get down to it - corruption and all!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏👏👏👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿.
If I was Daniels, I would have exited that shitshow and got back to minding my own business & earn my pay!😂
“muthafucka you need to put his ass on a footpost so far out in the sticks he’ll see philadelphia cops coming” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah yeah, great acting. I can't get over how clean and shiny that table is.
Senator Davis sums up American Politics: We don't care who they are or what they want, we just cash the checks, count the votes and move on.
The two party system then created the latest presidential election result............
Bernie should have ran on a third party ticket. Trump's victory would have been even more assured.
@@KiloByte69 LOL and that is why Bernie choose not to run.
2:24 Just love Daniel's masterclass in professional respect to his senior even though they disagree
The Senator is angry, because he's absolutely guilty and he knows it.
The way Daniels closes his eyes to contemplate about what Davis was saying regarding who gives the donations was so nuanced. Then he composed himself.
