He also schools Prez on what’s pertinent and non-pertinent. They also get Stinkum’s pager number. Rawls finds out that McNulty and Bunk have linked D’Angelo to three murder cases and presses them for an arrest warrant, which will kill the case. They appeal to Daniels, who is initially reluctant, but eventually stands up to Rawls and get the Deputy involved, buying them another month.Storyline 2: Omar starts turning “Snitch”McNulty gets a call from Omar that he wants to see Brandon’s body. McNulty has the boys and brings them along with Omar to the morgue. An upset Omar starts to flip - heading to the office and agreeing to be an eye-witness to the murder of Gant by Bird. The StreetStoryline 1: Brandon’s Body and Wallace’s reactionThe show opens on Brandon’s brutally murdered body. Happening offscreen makes it even more powerful. The sight is seriously affecting Wallace, even when he gets rewarded $500 by String and Avon. D’Angelo reminds him that “killing is part of the game”. D’Angelo tells Wallace that two of the lookouts had been thieving, but he kept it wrapped up and moved them off.Storyline 2: Bodie and Juvenile CourtMaurice Levy defends Bodie in court and he gets off very lightly.

Levy subjects Omar to a harsh cross-examination, but Omar quickly turns the tables. After the jury returns a guilty verdict, Judge Phelan sentences Bird to life in prison. Freamon and Prez find a paper trail through campaign finance records linking the union to $70,000 in contributions. Beadie suggests that the union is making extra money by facilitating smuggling through the port. Daniels reassigns Prez and Greggs to focus on the vice trade, and Freamon works with Russell and Bunk looking at container movements. Beadie and Freamon are able to tie the missing containers to Horseface. Kima meets with Shardene for help tracking down Eastern European girls working in the vice trade. She discusses her strip club assignment with Cheryl, who insists on tagging along. A friend of Shardene's tells the detectives that there is a madam who organizes the girls and keeps them at a motel, where they are under guard when not working. Nick asks Vondas for help with Ziggy's problems with Cheese. Serge then arranges a meeting with Proposition Joe, who agrees to compensate Ziggy for the torched car. Nick, Ziggy, and Johnny Fifty deliver the chemicals in exchange for drugs. Tempted by the additional payoff and Ziggy's pleas, Nick opts to take half the payment in cash and the rest in drugs.

Brianna visits D'Angelo and tries to persuade him to use Avon's set-up of Tilghman to shave time from his sentence. D'Angelo refuses, reminding his mother that she taught him to stand up for himself. He tells her to let him deal with things on his own and to take the fall for the Barksdale Organization. He then asks her to tell Stringer, Avon and Donette to leave him alone. D'Angelo passes Avon in the corridor and refuses to talk to him. While working in the prison library, D'Angelo is strangled to death by an inmate, who stages the body to make it look like a suicide.
