The Wire: Fake Serial Killer Phone Call Frenzy

McNulty fakes a Baltimore accent and scrambles his voice and places a call to the reporter as the fake serial killer. He also sends a picture of the homeless guy he "kidnapped" last week. Now they've got a tap on the Marlo picture phone messages, but it's some kind of code - pictures of clocks showing various times.

As McNulty says, "This shit's bigger than I ever thought it would be." The FBI is getting involved and he's getting a ton of extra money for the case. Word spreads quickly that he's giving away a lot of that money and overtime, and it's snatched up pretty quickly. Bunk is through with this B.S. - loved his constant eye-rolling and sighing.

Not too much of the corners this week - Omar shot one of Marlo's boys and told Michael's corner to get word to Marlo that he wants to see him in the street.

Clay Davis went on trial and won due to his defense - the money he took from his non-profit organization was actually given to his constituents who asked him for various things, and it was easier to do that from his personal bank account. He gave an impassioned, slick speech in the courtroom and got applause inside and out. He's one gregarious SOB.
