Reed Garrett

[to Mac] Nope, not anymore. I got my own blog now. New York 24-7 News.

Detective Mac Taylor

[to Reed] Don't you wanna get your facts straight before you sensationalize a story?

Reed Garrett

[to Mac] I thought that's what I was doing,you know? Help me out.

Detective Mac Taylor

[to Reed] You got two female victims, both floaters, both brutally murdered.

Mac

You made up a story implying I was the source.

Reed

Look, what do you want me to say? I am getting 20,000 hits a day. People like to read my blog.

Mac

Which is exactly why you should be more careful what you say.

Reed

We don't have time for careful, Mac. We have a serial killer to catch.

Mac

No, Reed. I have a serial killer to catch. You just want a headline. But I get it. So out of love and respect for your mother I'll give you an exclusive. You ready? Watch who you mess with.

Reed

Is that a threat from you or from the killer?

Mac

Both.

Reed Garrett

[Talking to Mac on the phone] Hey it's reed, I'm about to put up a new blog post about the Cabbie Killer and i was hoping that maybe you could help me with something.

Detective Mac Taylor

[to Reed] I gave you this number for personal reasons, not professional reasons.

Reed Garrett

[to Mac] Yes i know, but I'm just trying to put together a real profile on this guy, you know? I mean, don't you think that people have the right to know about who they're afraid of?

Detective Mac Taylor

[to Reed] Look, I'm impressed by your determination, Reed, maybe even a little bit proud, but you're a journalist and I'm a detective on this case. You're crossing the line here.

Reed Garrett

[to Mac] Yes but isn't that what lines are for?

Detective Mac Taylor

[to Reed] Not in my business.

Reed Garrett

[to Mac] Come on. Throw me a bone, Mac.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Hanging up the phone] Good-Bye, Reed.

Reed Garrett

[Talking to himself] Well, you won't give 'em a story, then i will.

Mac

Who's your source, Reed? Who told you about the carvings on the neck?

Reed

I don't know his name.

Mac

How do you get in touch with him?

Reed

He contacts me.

Mac

What's he look like?

Reed

I can't tell you that.

Mac

You can and you will.

Reed

Look, when I wanted a story, you stayed true to the code of your office and now I'm staying true to mine.

Mac

This is not a game. An innocent man is dead.

Reed

What are you talking about?

Mac

Your blog. You accused a driver named Jimmy of being the Cabbie Killer.

Reed

I didn't accuse anybody. I reported the information that I was given.

Mac

Without confirming it. Jimmy, the cabdriver was also known as Police Officer James Chameides. He was moonlighting as a cabbie out of Five Brothers Garage.

Reed

No, wait a minute. I thought Chameides was the work of the Cabbie Killer. He was, was, he was dumped from a cab.

Mac

His own cab. After he was brutally beaten and murdered by three men, vigilante justice. Now, where do you think they got the idea that Jimmy was the Cabbie Killer?

Reed

You're not blaming me for this guy's death.

Mac

I'm blaming you for putting a target on his back.

The newly dead who have coins to pay for the ride must be taken across the river or they'll wander the banks for a hundred years.

Reed

(nervous) Okay. Do you want me to, do you want me to write that? Is that what you want me to say?

No! Don't you see? They think I'm insane. They call me the Cabbie Killer. Use your words. Let them see me deliver the message, to the doomed. Make them understand.

Reed

You gonna kill me?

Only those who have the golden branch can cross the river while still alive and return to this world. Type! Now
