- [after a dead New Jersey cop in dumped front of the NYPD precinct and Flack is almost run over]
- Detective Don Flack: Look, I know I sound like an idiot. It was a yellow cab. That's all I've got.
- Quinn Shelby: Mac, who is Reed to you?
- Detective Mac Taylor: 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.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Jimmy the cab driver was also known as police officer James Chameides. He was moonlighting as a cabbie out of Five Brothers Garage.
- Reed Garrett: No, wait a minute. I thought Chameides was the work of the Cabbie Killer. He was... dumped from a cab.
- Detective Mac Taylor: 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 Garrett: You're not blaming me for this guy's death?
- Detective Mac Taylor: I'm blaming you for putting the target on his back.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Who's your source Reed? Who told you about the carvings on the neck?
- Reed Garrett: I don't know his name.
- Detective Mac Taylor: How do you get in touch with him?
- Reed Garrett: He contacts me.
- Detective Mac Taylor: What's he look like?
- Reed Garrett: I can't tell you that.
- Detective Mac Taylor: You can, and you will.
- Reed Garrett: Look, when i wanted a story, you stayed true to the code of your office, and now, I'm staying true to mine.
- Detective Mac Taylor: This is not a game. An innocent man is dead.
- Reed Garrett: What are you talking about?
- Detective Mac Taylor: Your blog. You accused a driver named Jimmy of being the Cabbie Killer.
- Reed Garrett: I didn't accuse anybody. I reported the information that i was given.
- Detective Mac Taylor: Without confirming it!
- Detective Mac Taylor: [reading a blog] For weeks I've been investigating the cabbie killer murders with a certain morbid fascination.
- Detective Stella Bonasera: This is in real time.
- Detective Lindsay Monroe: I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic... see if I can track an IP address.
- Cabbie Killer: 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.
- Cabbie Killer: [quoting Leviticus, 27:29] "All human beings that are doomed lose the right to be redeemed."
- Mac Taylor: [finishing] "They must be put to death."
