In this episode: Mac Taylor (4), Stella Bonasera (3), Reed Garrett (2), Don Flack (1), Lindsay Monroe (1)
I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, Stella. Don't make me the villain. I'm on your side. I just wish you were on mine.
What's that supposed to mean?
Why am I the last to know that Reed is practically Mac's son?
It wasn't my place to share that information.
How'd it go with Reed?
How do you think it went?
I think you pushed. And he got mad and refused to give up his source. And then one of you stormed off.
Well, if you told me that before, you could've saved me the trip.
Come on, Mac. He's 23 years old. It's his first real job. He just wants to succeed and can't see beyond that. Is he really any different than you and I were at that age?
People are dying. I don't have time for the understanding approach.
Okay. Well, Reed found out about those carvings. We need to find his source. Don't let your pride get in the way.
Who's your source, Reed? Who told you about the carvings on the neck?
I don't know his name.
How do you get in touch with him?
He contacts me.
What's he look like?
I can't tell you that.
You can and you will.
Look, when I wanted a story, you stayed true to the code of your office and now I'm staying true to mine.
This is not a game. An innocent man is dead.
What are you talking about?
Your blog. You accused a driver named Jimmy of being the Cabbie Killer.
I didn't accuse anybody. I reported the information that I was given.
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.
No, wait a minute. I thought Chameides was the work of the Cabbie Killer. He was, was, he was dumped from a cab.
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?
You're not blaming me for this guy's death.
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.
(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.
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
Mac, who is Reed to you?
He's Claire's son, Quinn. She gave him up for adoption before we met. When he came looking for his biological mother, he found me, unaware that she had died.
[reading a blog] For weeks I've been investigating the cabbie killer murders with a certain morbid fascination.
This is in real time.
I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic... see if I can track an IP address.
(after a dead New Jersey cop in dumped front of the NYPD precinct and Flack is almost run over)
Look, I know I sound like an idiot. It was a yellow cab. That's all I've got.
