The Wire: Backwash

Sobotka sees an unwelcomed future at the port of Rotterdam and gives his lobbyist grief over the status of port legislation. Russell tells Sobotka the investigation is over, but a port computer is cloned and as a container goes missing, our detectives will follow. Simultaneously, 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. Rawls can't persuade Daniels to take on the murders, but new evidence does. Although there's much discord in Barksdale's empire over a recent tragedy, Bell tries to hold it together.
