An unexpected call puts Templeton back in the spotlight - and gets McNulty more attention than he expected. Bunk bucks at Landsman (Delaney Williams) when ordered to help with the force's most recent red ball. Omar sends Marlo a message; Carcetti proves he's still an adept fund-raiser; Carver (Seth Gilliam) gift-wraps a witness for Bunk; Bubbles shows a reporter the ropes; Freamon tries to crack a clock code; Greggs prepares for a visit from her son; Michael has a close call; Haynes (Clark Johnson) can't shake his suspicions about Templeton; assisted by the top-drawer lawyer Billy Murphy (Billy Murphy), "cash and carry" Davis makes his day in court a memorable one. |

''Non-Official Description:''<br> |

In the seventh episode of season five, McNulty begins getting extreme amounts of unwanted attention towards his serial killer case. Even though he wanted the bosses to pay attention to this so everyone can get some "real police work" done, this is not what he wanted. Because he knows the serial killer plot is one big facade, he allocates the extra man power to get other detectives real police work done, acting almost as a Santa Claus; giving the detectives what they need. |
|||
It started when him, Freamon and Sydnor as they devised a plan so that he could call Scott Templeton acting as the serial killer and just rattle his and everyone's cage. It worked, much more than McNulty planned for. Gus begins barking out orders at his newspaper crew to cover this story and Deputy Commissioner Daniels does the same to his lot, making sure everyone knows that this is now top priority. |
|||
Freamon now can finally intercept Marlo's picture messages, but the code he thought he could break in less than two weeks proves much more difficult. Each picture has a certain time on a clock on it, and he needs more man power for surveillance on Marlo's people to see what they're doing and where they're going after they receive these messages from The Greek. |
|||
Staff Sergent Carver comes to Michael's corner and puts him in handcuffs and "giftwraps" him to Bunk so he can ask about his dead father. Michael provides Bunk with nothing new which only adds to Bunk's unhappiness with everything going on with McNulty. Landsman tells Bunk to help out with McNulty's case, but because he knows it's not real he tells Landsman off, and continues to do work on the 22 murders from the previous year. |
|||
Omar traps Sevino, former Barksdale muscle, who tries explaining to Omar that he wasn't there when Chris and Snoop did Butchie. Omar tells him that even if he was there, he wouldn't do anything about it. Omar shoots him in the head because of that and limps off. We see Omar again, in broad daylight, limping with a crutch in hand, as he comes up on Michael's corner. Everyone is visibly scared even though Omar only has one good leg; that's the kind of reputation he has. He tells Michael to tell Marlo that he killed Sevino, and that he'll take out all his muscle until Marlo comes at him himself. |
|||
Senator Davis appears in court, and it looks as though he is going to be heading to prison. With the amount of paperwork that Freamon and Sydnor got on Davis, it didn't seem like he could get off. That was until he hired Billy Murphy to help him out with his case. In the trial, even though everything was going against him, he did what he does best: talked. He continued to talk and sway the jury until everyone was on his side. Telling stories about how he would give cash out to this person and that person whenever they asked, and that he didn't have receipts for that because he didn't care to ask them because it wasn't important at the time. At the end we see him at the front of the courthouse, Bond asking Pearlman what happened. Her response: "Whatever it was, they don't teach it in Law School." |
|||
Greggs asked McNulty where to get children's furniture because she was able to get her kid to sleep over for the night. At the end of the episode, he comes up to Greggs and says he cannot sleep. She brings him to the window and says to get to sleep we have to say goodnight to everyone, with the kid repeating what Greggs says. "Goodnight moon, goodnight stars, goodnight po-pos, goodnight fiends, goodnight hoppers, goodnight scammers, goodnight hustlers, goodnight to everyone, goodnight to everyone." |

This episode was directed by Dominic West (McNulty). |
