"When you know how you're playing this, give a yell," Ronnie tells Daniels, packing up her briefcase and making to leave. "We know how we're playing it," Daniels spits. Ronnie stops in her tracks. "My people are going down to do some hand-to-hands," Daniels declares. He reiterates the orders for McNulty and Santangelo, adding, "As things heat up, I'll go to the deputy and get us more manpower, but this case is not going to sprawl." Adorable! "A month from now, we're all gonna be back at our day jobs," Daniels concludes, staring straight into McNulty's soul. Ronnie's like, "Yay," and leaves. "Anything else?" Daniels threatens McNulty. Apparently not -- at least not right now. Daniels's final order is that no one does anything on the street without his knowing about it first. No one has any objection they're willing to raise at the moment. "Chain of command, Detective," Daniels reminds McNulty. "That's how we do things down this end of the hall." Daniels slams the door. An auspicious beginning, to be sure!
