Epigraph: "Business. Always business." -The Greek Sobotka's body is found in the harbor and Nick's father forces him to turn himself in. He identifies the Greek in McNulty's photo and mentions Choksey. Bunk and Russell pull Philadelphia footage and find Serge chasing him, which they use to make him explain how the women died. He gives up Vondas and the Greek, but they have already left the country. Fitzhugh realizes that Koutris protected the Greek in exchange for tips to aid the war on terror. Joe takes over Sobotka's role with the Greeks. The union is shut down for voting Sobotka as treasurer, while Davis breaks ground on a condo that will replace Silo Point. Mouzone deduces that Stringer set him up. Herc and Carver transfer to Colvin's unit after being left to uselessly monitor Nick for hours. Daniels saves Prez's job by pointing out that he was provoked by Valchek, who receives a picture of the van in Australia and bids Sobotka a solemn goodbye. Bubbles and Johnny Weeks are arrested for stealing morphine and inform on Joe and Stringer's dealings to go free, who McNulty and Greggs photograph meeting. They convince Daniels to shift the detail's focus to them. Nick is placed in witness protection. Unable to find work at the docks, he stares mournfully at them from behind a fence, then walks away as it starts to rain.
