"The Wire" - Season One: The Dealers Quiz

Answer: He was murdered.

William Gant was a maintenance man in the housing project where D'Angelo worked as a dealer, and he witnessed D'Angelo murder a man. Although he testified against D'Angelo, a security guard who also witnessed the murder recanted her testimony, and the case against D'Angelo fell apart. Several days later, Gant was killed by Barksdale's crew, apparently to send a message to anyone else who might think of testifying against them.

Answer: A college economics class

Stringer Bell was Avon's right hand man, and he was committed to running the operation as a business. He even wanted to profitably operate a printing shop that was used as a front, and he would lecture his employees on the topics he learned in class.

Answer: Chess

D'Angelo found Bodie and Wallace playing checkers with a chess set. He told them that chess was "a better game" and proceeded to explain it to them. Bodie and Wallace looked at it from the perspective of the crew: Avon was the king, Stringer was the queen and they were pawns.

Answer: A basketball game

Herc and Carver were on surveillance at the projects, but there wasn't anyone around, so they went to find out where everyone was. Turns out it was the annual Eastside/Westside basketball game. Both Avon Barksdale and Proposition Joe paid for ringers for their teams; unfortunately for Avon, Joe's ringer turned out to be better.

Answer: He saw the tortured body of Omar's boyfriend, Brandon.

Wallace had called D'Angelo and told him that he had seen Brandon at a shop, and D'Angelo passed that information up the chain. Brandon was then grabbed and killed for stealing a stash from the Barksdale crew. His tortured body was left near Wallace's house, and Wallace was visibly disturbed after seeing it.

He told D'Angelo he wanted to quit the crew and go back to school. The police picked up Wallace, believing that he would be easy to turn.

Answer: "The Farmer in the Dell"/"A Hunting We Will Go"

Omar had a fierce reputation; in one scene, a drug stash was turned over to him merely because he asked for it. After Brandon's death, he went after the people he held responsible, usually whistling "The Farmer in the Dell" (also known as "A Hunting We Will Go") as he approached.

Answer: He tried to get in on the drug-selling business.

Orlando's club was Avon Barksdale's headquarters, and Avon needed for Orlando to serve as a front; he couldn't have any connection to drugs. Orlando had tried to get D'Angelo into a drug deal, and when Avon found out, he slapped Orlando around. But Orlando didn't learn, and he was later arrested trying to buy drugs from undercover cops.

Answer: Pet fish

After Wee-Bey had been involved in the shooting that injured Kima, Stringer Bell ordered him out of town. Stringer told D'Angelo to go with him but didn't tell D'Angelo where they were going. When Wee-Bey took D'Angelo into his (Wee-Bey's) dark house, D'Angelo thought he was going to be executed.

But then Wee-Bey turned on the lights to reveal several huge tanks of fish; he even had names for the fish. He had brought D'Angelo there to give him instructions on feeding the fish while he (Wee-Bey) was away.

Answer: Bodie

Stringer Bell was very discreet in telling Bodie to kill Wallace. He never directly said so, but he asked Bodie if he had a gun and asked him if he was a man. After taking Wallace out to eat, Bodie and Poot went home with him where Bodie shot and injured him before Poot grabbed the gun and killed him.

Answer: His mother

D'Angelo had been arrested after Avon sent him to New York to pick up a stash. He initially wouldn't cooperate, but after the police told him that Wallace was dead, and Stringer Bell wouldn't talk to him when he asked about Wallace, D'Angelo agreed to testify against the crew.

He said that he wanted to be in the Witness Protection program so that he could start a new life. But his mother was able to pressure him to change his mind by hounding him about sticking by his family.
