The Wire: Clarifications
February 25, 2008
Episode 5x8
Everything is seemingly coming to a head. The fake homeless murders are becoming bigger than what McNulty and Freamon had in mind. McNulty is obviously stressing about it, and also feeling a sense of guilt. He ends up telling Greggs and Beadie, however they completely disapprove of it. Freamon still claims, with a big break in the wiretap itself, that the case is soon coming to a close. That knowledge still doesn't have McNulty sleeping well at...

February 11, 2008
Episode 5x6
McNulty and Freamon are seemingly having second thoughts on their scheme. Guilty conscious maybe? Omar is seeking revenge for Butchie and himself.

The Wire: Not For Attribution
January 21, 2008
Episode 5x3
The majority of this episode focuses on McNulty and his newly cooked up scheme to bring down Marlo by tampering with evidence and the body of a dead homeless person so that it looks like a serial killer did it.
