The Wire



Season 2


Butchie is first seen supplying Corrections Officer Tilghman with the narcotics he sells inside the prison, and later negotiating with Stringer Bell over supplying Tilghman with the poisoned drugs that killed several prisoners. Later in the season it became apparent that he was a connection to Omar, as Proposition Joe arranged a face-to-face meeting between Omar and Stringer by talking to him.



Season 3


His connection to Omar was more apparent, as several scenes showed Omar getting advice from Butchie. Omar enlisted Butchie to find Officer Dozerman's missing gun, and returned it to Detective Bunk Moreland through Butchie. Butchie later provides Omar with Avon Barksdale's hideout location. Butchie had known the information all along but hoped to protect Omar by withholding it. In the end Avon is arrested before Omar can use Butchie's tip.



Season 4


Proposition Joe again contacted Butchie to meet with Omar, this time pitting Omar against Marlo Stanfield by convincing him to rob a card game that Stanfield attended. When Stanfield contrived to have Omar framed for murder in response, Butchie was Omar's first phone call after he was arrested. Omar escaped the charge and stole an entire shipment of drugs from the New Day Co-Op, getting revenge on both Stanfield and Joe. Butchie suggested that Omar sell the shipment back to Joe, and Omar left Baltimore to retire on the profits.



Season 5


Butchie was tortured and murdered in his bar by Stanfield enforcers Chris Partlow and Snoop to lure Omar from retirement. Butchie refused to give information as to Omar's whereabouts; Omar was notified of Butchie's death and returned to Baltimore for revenge.



Trivia


Like his character, actor S. Robert Morgan is blind. He lost his sight to macular degeneration in his twenties.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
