The Wire

Baltimore detective Jimmy McNulty gets assigned to a new task force.

McNulty feels the heat when a witness who testified against D'Angelo is killed.

The early-morning 'field interviews' by Herc, Carver and Prez result in a minor riot.

Greggs and McNulty try to get Hardcase to turn informant as arraignment begins for those caught in the raid.

McNulty's detail finally gets 'clone' pagers to track Barksdale and his gang, but nobody can crack the codes used by the callers.

McNulty and Greggs ask for a delay in a murder bust in order to preserve the wiretap.

Tipped off by the wire, Greggs, Herc, Carver and Freamon make a bust, but the incident makes Avon and Stringer suspicious.

An unlikely source gives McNulty the tag of Stringer Bell's car. Later, Omar earns his 'loose cannon' reputation.

Barksdale plays an expensive game of one-upmanship with an east-side rival.

With Wallace in custody, McNulty and Daniels must figure out what to do with him in the time before he testifies.

Burrell orders Daniels to hit dealers for results that will impress the media. Meanwhile, Greggs is in the ICU.

With the detail's future hanging in the balance, Daniels faces off against Burrell and his political allies.

Daniels and McNulty turn to a higher authority to crack the case.
