We saw Lester doing some interesting things during the previous episode and in this one, "Old Cases", McNulty and company will finally "discover" Lester. During the previous hour Lester found something that McNulty and Greggs really need at one point of this episode and at that same point is when the detail finally "discover" Lester. Here we have a little talk between the Deputy and Daniels in which Daniels says "McNulty says this case needs a wire", here we have something else for the case: the Barksdale people use pagers instead of cell phones, Greggs say they should continue with the buy busts if they don't want to go further otherwise they could "clone a couple of pagers, see where that take us" and there is when Lester enters to "save" everybody, Lester enters with D'Angelo's number and with a picture that proves that the number is correct. Pretty much Lester was like McNulty and because of that he ended in the Paw Shop Unit (where he worked for 13 years
and 4 months), you know for doing police work his superior asked him where he didn't want to go and he said he didn't want no f****** paper shuffle or office s*** then he was transferred to the Paw Shop Unit. Now after 13 years and 4 months of that Lester has a piece of advice for McNulty but damn since episode 1 we know where McNulty don't want to go!
"Old Cases" has in it what is absolutely one of my most favourite scenes of Season 1, a great part with McNulty and Bunk recreating a murder that may have a connection with D'Angelo. There's the owner of the apartment in which the murder took place seeing both McNulty and Bunk working and is like "what is thinking this man while seeing McNulty and Bunk?", well at least the man never leaved the scene and never stop looking at the detectives, I think the man was just impressed because of everything, from the fact that in the apartment a woman was murdered, the way that McNulty and Bunks work to the fact that the word f*** was said between both McNulty and Bunk about 40 times! Hilarious scene and certainly it shows that both McNulty and Bunk are truly good detectives. And Omar and his men (including his boyfriend Brandon, played by Michael Kevin Darnall) are certainly wanted dead or alive by Avon. As "The Wire" goes on the episodes seems to be getting shorter and shorter!
