A mouse terrier? I think they call that a cat.

Brian Kapellusch

4 is by far the worst

John A

Yes, exactly. They're is no such thing as a "off duty" police officer. If they see a crime they are actually required to act. They must announce the they are police but they are required to react and respond. They are never truly off and must always maintain the law.

Carla Davis

Umm... all officers of the court are required to always maintain the law. Judges, lawyers and law enforcement are not allowed to say "but I wasn't currently working" Those are professions. Not a job. A CPA can't say hey I'm not getting paid so I can cheat on my taxes. No. Professionals are always held to higher standards.

Cliff Douglas

The series 5 theme sung by Steve Earle who of course plays Waylon

Chris

I think 5 is the best as a standalone song but 4 fit the show and that particular season the best. then 3 and 1. 2 is the worst and it makes me want a cough drop every time I hear it. However, I believe 2 is the original version of the song. All of the other versions are basically covers.

Veya

I rank it 4,5,1,2,3 for best to worst

Kleenn6160

Ok, let's rank the theme songs (those of us who have watched all 5): 1, 3, 2, 5, 4 for me

Jeff K

the way i understood the turkish guy getting tortured scene was that he admitted to killing the 13 girls by suffocation because they had witnessed the first girl being beaten to death by another sailor. He was adamant that he didnt kill the the first girl but had to silence all the witnesses. Not good reasoning obviously but thats how I saw his pleas.

Lester (Season 1): “I don't wanna go to no dance unless I can rub some tit.” Kima (Season 2): "If I hear music, I'm gonna dance."

Michael Kang-Beats

Mr Video. I think the expression is he smells blood in the water. Oh how the turntables have……

Jonny Kerr (JK)

Yeah Bee Bop it's called. Don't like it either but in jazz circles it's considered high art

Chris

I'm with the missus.. the Saxophone stinks in the song... and free form jazz is the worst.

Michael Kang-Beats

No, yeah that was the guy. He was their guy, "the shepherd" employed to make sure they were fed, watered and allowed to use the toilet etc.. sorry, that wasn't meant to sound so dismissive.

Chris

The smuggling is how the union is getting it's money. Frank is doing a bad thing for a good reason. To get the canal dredged so bigger ships can be offloaded and with it bring more work into the docks. And to get the canal dredged he has to lobby the politicians. The politicians want to close the docks as the real estate is worth so much to them for development , which is the big model you saw.

Chris

It was that guy. I think the confusion came from his weak attempt to deflect by saying it “wasnt me”. But that was just him trying to save himself. The greeks obviously didn’t buy and didn’t care since he was a loose end anyways. So yeah sorry but that mystery is pretty done. And yeah, he was trying to pimp the girls out and that’s how the accident happened when one of the johns killed a girl that was hesistant (the original floater) and this guy decided to kill all the girls afterwards because they were witnesses.

Veya

Was that the actual guy? It didn't seem definitive. Thought they just killed him cause he knew too much.

You, Me, & The Movies

The Greek literally caught the guy who killed all the girls and cut his throat. He's dead and doesn't have hands or a face anymore. And this guy, who killed all the girls was making some money for himself by pimping them out to the ship's crew, that's why they were asking for advances. That's all established info so far...
