The moment Daniels looked Burrell in the face and told him heβd rather live in shit than work a shovel lives rent-free in my headπ₯Ά
βYou do what you feel. You want to pull Avon in on half a case, go ahead. You wanna put my shit in the street, feel free. But, the Eastern had a lot of stories. Mine ain't the only one. A lot of people came up in that district. If you were gonna do me, I'd already be done, but I'm betting there ain't nothing you fear more than a bad headline, now is there? You'd rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel. You can order warrants, and I'll serve them, but as long as those dead wires have days left on them, this case goes on.β π₯Άπ₯Ά
Burrell thinks he has the ultimate leverage to shut down the Barksdale wiretap detail by using the FBI's asset report on Danielsβs old skimming days in the Eastern District. But instead of folding, Daniels completely flips the script on him, pointing out that the systemic corruption goes all the way to the top and that the department is entirely terrified of media scrutiny.
This has to be in the top 5 best moments of Daniels being a "real police" in the show!
Which other Daniels lines do you feel should be up there in his top 5 best moments of the show?

@MissGinaDarling Such a fun game. At first it's a nice to jump in and get a quick game or two.
But then one session becomes an hour long, and you want to see if you can pass your personal best before you have to handle responsibilities
1 hour turns to 3... And the rest is history
Every time I see this video of Andrew Garfield taking to Elmo about grief, I start crying.
βIβm just thinking about my mom today. She passed away not too long ago. Itβs actually kind of okay to miss somebody. Sadness is kind of a gift, a lovely thing to feel in a way because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them."
