The Wire 2002: 2x7

“Don’t worry, kid. You’re still on the clock.” — Horseface Russell tells Sobotka the investigation is over, but, in fact, a port computer is cloned, and when a container goes missing, the detectives follow. Simultaneously, Greggs and Prez tap into a circuit of Russian prostitutes. With two sets of evidence, the detail goes to Pearlman. Neither crime merits wiretap–but a drug connect could give the case legs.
