The team's raids prove wholly unsuccessful. McNulty cannot convince any of the suspects to give up Barksdale, and Bodie manages to escape from lock-up.

A wave of urban reform brings down the notorious Franklin Terrace public housing towers, forcing the Barksdale drug crew to find a new home on the streets of west Baltimore.

McNulty and Prez turn up in the wrong alley; Cutty finds help; Bubbles is wired up; Pearlman and Daniels confront a cell-phone company.

The politicians want arrests, but McNulty holds out, desperate for a wire-tap to get hard evidence against the Barksdale outfit. Meanwhile, Omar decides to testify after seeing the body of his murdered lover.

West Baltimore residents get some surprising straight talk at a community meeting from Major Colvin, Bubbles finds employment, and Bunk promises immunity to a group of corner boys in exchange for a little help.

Frustrated in his grass-roots reform efforts, Colvin arms himself with intelligence from Daniels' detail and personally delivers a message to the management.
