The Wire, Duck And Cover

Detective Jimmy McNulty finds a woman's body floating in the water while carrying out his new assignment of Harbor Patrol. Major Valchek has his gift to a local parish trumped by Frank Sobotka, his rival in the local stevedores union.

Major Valchek gets back at Sobotka for the church gift fiasco, and a feud begins. Avon Barksdale continues to run his empire from a prison cell, and a Port Police Officer gets stuck investigating the contraband in the Greek's container.

Lt. Cedric Daniels announces his departure; meanwhile, McNulty pursues the identity of a Jane Doe found floating in the harbour. On the other side of town, stolen cameras are sold to The Greek.

McNulty goes on a self-assigned moral mission to identify his floater, but Bunk insists they have a more pressing matter. To placate Valchek, Burrell asks Daniels to lead the detail investigating Sobotka, and Daniels agrees.

Weak product in the pit has Bodie getting heat. Homicide detectives hand out grand jury summonses to stevedores involved in the homicide case. Beadie Russell works the lingering affections to determine how cargo keeps disappearing.

Trying to let go of police work and return to his marriage, McNulty gives up on identifying his Jane Doe. Sobotka plays the political game, and the detectives look into Sobotka and his money.

Greggs and Prez tap into the circuit of Russian prostitutes. With two sets of evidence, the detail goes to Pearlman, who tells them neither crime merits a wiretap, but a drug connection could give the case legs.

McNulty goes on a drunken binge of legendary proportions, and fellow stevedores convince Ziggy to fight Maui. Seeing McNulty's desperation, Bunk talks Daniels into asking for him. And finally, the wiretap is up, just in time.

Bodie's disastrous sales efforts result in a scolding from Stringer Bell. Ziggy pulls Johnny Fifty into a new caper, making the Greeks pay big money, and McNulty goes undercover in a brothel.

The detail uses satellite technology to its advantage. Bodie is unhappy that Proposition Joe's people are selling on his turf, and Valchek visits the FBI to get accurate results on the docks.

The detail makes a desperate move. Nick's deceit is open, as Sobotka is overwhelmed by bad news. The Greeks confidently ease out of a brief encounter with the detail, and they look for Vonda's boss.

Brother Mouzone talks with Stringer Bell regarding their agreement, leaving Bell to contend with Avon Barksdale. McNulty and Greggs return to the Westside, discovering new connections, while Herc and Carver experience disrespect.
