The Wire Season 2 Complete Pack Info
To save the union, Frank has made a deal with the devil. He turns a blind eye as his docks become a smuggler’s paradise: stolen cars, untaxed alcohol, and eventually, massive shipments of drugs and people. He works with "The Greek"—a phantom, a ghost with no name and no country, and his ruthless lieutenant, Vondas. Frank tells himself he is just facilitating the cargo, not the violence.

Jimmy McNulty, now exiled to the marine unit, is the one who fishes the container out of the harbor. He kicks the hornet’s nest, forcing a reluctant Major Valchek to reassemble a task force.

The new task force is a dysfunctional family. Bunk and Freamon do the real police work, tracing a can of "Smirnoff Blue" to a Polish chemical supplier. Prezbo, now a humbled office drone, cracks a cryptic financial ledger. Herc and Carver stumble around in the dark, causing chaos and burning a priceless surveillance camera. And McNulty? He is sober, miserable, and determined, obsessively tracking the doomed girls from the can back to a brothel run by a man named "Eton."
