A lot of very good men, women, and (oh god, so very, very many) children died to get this. I had to watch tapes David Simon sent me of Ed burns tearing the heads off of some of my bravest child-agents with his massive jaws when I refused to return it.
So appreciate it.
And spread the word.

Scene 1

Darkness, struggle sounds…
The darkness fades to show a messy, undecorated room, the only notable piece of furniture in it a bed. In the bed, tossing and turning, is McNulty (and Beadie, now awoken). McNulty sits bolt upright.
BEADIE: Jimmy? What’s wrong?
MCNULTY: I just had a horrible dream… I dreamt I got this kid Bodie killed, a good kid, well, a dealer, but he’s got a good heart, you know?
BEADIE: It was just a dream, honey. Don’t worry about it.
MCNULTY: Yeah. Let’s get some sleep.
