looked like he somehow shorted the call with a gum wrapper to get the operator to dial out for him but I really don't understand how that would even work...

I don't remember.

I'm gonna have to give this show a gang of passes for this episode, which I'd normally not do, because the novel was written in 1981 and they're trying to adapt it for modern times. So a lot of shyt where I'd normally be like "where's the cameras?", "how did nobody see him?", etc. I'm just gonna over look for now.

It was different in Manhunter.

In Manhunter he used the wrapper to pulse/short the dial...

In yesterdays episode he unscrewed the phone and wrapped the gum wrapper around the mic...

Not 100% on the terminology I just used but here's the clip from Manhunter...

Alright when y'all catch it on Saturday (or earlier) peep and see if you catch a glimpse of the Manhunter. I swear I saw the stocking over Francis' face briefly.

Some info on the phone shyt

Pulse dialing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"
As pulse dialing is achieved by interruption of the local loop, it was in principle possible to dial a telephone number by rapidly tapping, i.e. depressing, the switch hook the corresponding number of times for each digit at approximately ten taps per second. However, many telephone makers implemented a slow switch hook release to prevent rapid switching.[citation needed]

In the United Kingdom, it used to be possible to make calls from coin-box phones (payphones) by tapping the switch hook without depositing coins. A person caught tapping could be charged with 'abstracting electricity' from the General Post Office and several cases were prosecuted under this offense.[citation needed]

In popular culture, tapping was used in the film Red Dragon as a way for prisoner Hannibal Lecter to dial out on a phone with no dialing mechanism. "

Thanks for the info but all this refers to what Hannibal did in "The Red Dragon" movie. The gum wrapper thing we seen in this episode was used in "Manhunter", and I didn't understand it then either.
