When thirteen dead women are discovered in one of Sobotka's shipping containers, Ziggy is dealing drugs supplied by "White Mike" McArdle. He tries unsuccessfully to convince the more streetwise Nick to join him. He sells the drugs at street level using an East Baltimore dealer known as Frog. When Frog lies about being robbed and keeps the money, White Mike severs ties with Ziggy. He turns to smuggling with his cousin, starting with a container of digital cameras. During a meeting with George "Double G" Glekas, a front man for an international smuggling operation, Ziggy's knowledge of the product helps to secure a better deal. However, when Glekas sees Ziggy taking pictures, he angrily smashes the camera. When Ziggy uses his share of the money to buy a new leather coat, Nick chastises him for flashing his newfound wealth. This also earns him the disdain of Maui.
