What happens

48:36–48:49

McNulty visits the federal building and asks Special Agent Cleary if he can interview any foreign-national vice suspects to try and interview them about the girl he found in the harbor. Cleary's research finds some girls being held in New Jersey, but he finds it hard to understand McNulty's desire to ID the girl. McNulty explains that he wants to know what happened to the girls and who was responsible for their deaths. Cleary seems uninterested and tells McNulty that the girls are likely to be deported anyway.
