"Believe it or not, everything isn't about you" always makes me smile. McNulty's narcissism is, I would argue, his most defining characteristic and Rawls see it and calls him on it.

Rawls speech to McNulty is a thing of absolute beauty (thanks for including the whole thing above). It's a strangely humanizing moment for Rawls, even as he's being a total prick and still calling McNulty out for being such an asshole. But you can actually sort of see why this is the guy in charge of the Homicide unit.<br /><br />One of the most heartbreaking moments for me is McNulty giving Bubbs the money and sending him back out to the streets. He just doesn't understand what the situation is, or what he's asking. Bubbs manages to get back out there and fight his demons to try to help Kima, but the look on his face when McNulty hands him the money just kills me.<br /><br />Also of note: A slightly different take on McNulty's stock "What the fuck did I do?" as for once he seems to recognize his own culpability in something. Ironically, it wasn't really his fault this time.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66152354340213992532013-08-26T10:42:50.133-04:002013-08-26T10:42:50.133-04:00I really love Rawls in this episode..he's so g...I really love Rawls in this episode..he's so good at taking charge and his speech to McNulty is awesome. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
