The detail, meanwhile, manages to track two trucks from the docks. However, Frank has become suspicious ever since he found out his cell phone account was "flagged" (meaning he doesn't have to worry about paying overdue bills), and has his suspicions confirmed when (a) he sees Kima hanging around the docks (even though she's wearing a hard-hat and in a utility van), and (b) he finds out Beadie lied when [[Recap/TheWireS02E07Backwash she said she was going to the Fairfield Piers]]. Beadie calling to have the second truck held up so [=McNulty=] can follow it from his car doesn't help either, so Frank gives Sergei a "clean" can. He and Nick go down to the diner, and the Greek (Nick never knew who he was) finally agrees to meet with them, and also agrees to continue paying them even though they're temporarily shutting down; the Greek also agrees with Frank continuing to give them "clean" cans until the police lose interest.

[=McNulty=] has just about hit rock bottom (at the beginning of the episode, after getting thoroughly plastered, [[DrunkDriver he drives into a pillar, inspects the damage, then hits the pillar from the *other* side of the car]], though he's still able to pick up a waitress later). Bunk and Lester lobby Daniels on [=McNulty=]'s half to get him into the detail, and after reminding Rawls that Rawls would give him whatever he needed if he agreed to help solve the murders, Daniels is able to get [=McNulty=]. [=McNulty=]'s first assignment is to go undercover at the brothel, and he and Kima get press a customer they see coming back so they can get a contact number. [=McNulty=] also takes Beadie out for a beer, and takes her home, but decides not to press his luck.
