Taxi Page #5
I'm a little out of line,
and I apologize
Detective Washburn,
you were the first one on the scene, correct?
Yes, I was
I was the first one on the scene
My first instinct is to give you a shot
at leading this investigation
- However, I spoke with your lieutenant
You're off the case
- Permanently
- What?
Nice meeting you
I know
Y... Marta, you can't...
Lieutenant
- You can't...
- Enough
Now, go clock in
You're late for your shift
I already told you everything I know
You can't hold me.
Now, I want my cab.
- Says here you did a year in juvenile hall
- That's supposed to be sealed
Joyriding Graduated to reckless driving,
fleeing the scene of an accident...
Iook at this... moving violation,
moving violation, moving violation
- Come on Everybody got a few tickets
- Not 75
And not on a bicycle,
Miss Williams
Officers at the front desk will give you
the forms you need to fill out.
As far as your car's concerned, you'll get that back
when we're done Two weeks, maybe longer
Two weeks? Come on, man
This is bullshit
That's notjust my car.
That is myjob.
Wh-What am I supposed to do?
Give people piggyback rides to Newark Airport?
One more question
Did you ever get close enough
to see the guy driving the car?
No, sir
All I saw was their taillights
Can I go now?
- Here we go again.
Didn't I say 5.00? Where are you?
- Jesse.
I feel like a damn fool, B,
thinking you'd actually be here on time
- I tried
- No, no, no No I'm tired of hearing excuses, okay?
I'm sittin' in my cab, right?
All of a sudden out of nowhere, this guy jumps...
Hello? Baby?
Jesse?
What the hell
could be so damn important?
- Freakin' day I had
- Hey Miss Williams
- You again
- Hey, hey, hey
- Go ahead Talk
- I just wanna talk
- Talk then
- I can get you your cab back
Come on
Come on
You gotta help me first
Okay? Just hear me out
They got five detectives on this case.
We gotta catch these guys first.
All I got to go on is
the MO, modus operandi
- I know what it means
- It's not police jargon It's Latin
They were in and out in, like, under a minute
That's real pros Witnesses
said they're either Spanish or Italian
Nah, I think they're Brazilian
They were speaking Portuguese
- You sure?
- Confia em mim.
My first job was delivering food at...
Brazilian
This is huge
Hey, why are we not
doing this at the station?
Sometimes a good cop's got to bend the rules
so that laws don't get broken
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not afraid to live outside the law.
You living outside of your mind
That's where you live
Well, the reports here say
