Cagney and Lacey s04e06 Taxicab Murders.eng Subtitles

00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:03,We'll go to the USO, we'll go to the
Siemens Institute, we'll go to bars on

00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,Hudson. Why would a cabbie get out of
his cab for a student? I don't know!

00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,Mary Beth, it is called police work.
Well, it happens to be my job. Your job

00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,to protect people, not to drive around
in a taxi cab waiting for somebody to

00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:15,kill you!

00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:17,What happened?

00:00:17,031 --> 00:00:19,Michael didn't show up from school.

00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,What about the local precinct? I tried
them before.

00:00:21,711 --> 00:00:24,They weren't down to his school. That's
the last place he was seen, and that is

00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,the best that they can do.

00:02:24,649 --> 00:02:26,Broadway and 89th.

00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:27,Go to the park.

00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:51,What more do you say, huh?

00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,You know,

00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,I've been onto you from the start.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,And when you walk in here and you
sprinkle the place with powder and

00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,you think you're the queen of the Nile.
Huh?

00:03:22,541 --> 00:03:25,Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking
about.

00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,You're sitting in your throne and you're
swelling down. My liquor!

00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,Look, mister, I... Oh, yeah? Hey, you
want some rough house?

00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,All right!

00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:35,Come on! Yeah! What are you, crazy?

00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,Yeah!

00:03:36,771 --> 00:03:39,I'm pulling this cab over. You sit back
where you belong.

00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:42,You make me! Cut that out or I'll bust
your head! Make me!

00:04:14,709 --> 00:04:15,Ladies,

00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:19,we've been waiting for you.

00:04:19,951 --> 00:04:25,last run. Yeah, yeah, me too. Look, I
g***t this drunk cowboy who offers me
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,bucks to drive him in reverse from Port
Authority to Penn Station. He barked all

00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,over the seat. Save the anecdotes for
later.

00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:34,Okay, this is where we are.

00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,We g***t a tentative report from the
medical examiner on the third murder.

00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:45,The preliminary fiber samples taken from
the cab all belong to the driver. No

00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,help there yet.

00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,Lieutenant, what about the latents on
one and two? Do you know how many

00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,fingerprints are on a New York City cab
detective?

00:04:51,191 --> 00:04:54,We're looking at weeks, if not months,
before we can lift the common print.

00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,The M .O. on number three was identical
to one and two.

00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:00,Driver found outside the cab.

00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,Killed by a single blow to the head. No
evidence of robbery.

00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:08,So what we have here is a pathological
killer who's going out there after cab

00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:10,drivers, and I want him off the streets.

00:05:10,821 --> 00:05:14,Keep driving? Keep driving. Eight o
'clock tomorrow morning, get out on the

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,streets. Any questions?

00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,No, sir. Let's go into the office and
check the maps.

00:05:19,011 --> 00:05:24,You're a detective, Cagney. Yeah, well,
I feel like a decoy. We ride around in

00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:27,cabs all day long just waiting for this
guy to hit again.

00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:30,Why can't you let uniforms do it?
Because uniforms are not trained in

00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:34,investigation. You are. That's why you
g***t that gold shield in your pocket.

00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:37,Lieutenant, there are 10 ,000 cabs in
this city. We've g***t 100 cops in them.

00:05:37,930 --> 00:05:39,That's 101 odds.

00:05:40,350 --> 00:05:42,You g***t a better idea?

00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,Yeah.

00:05:44,061 --> 00:05:47,We could be following up leads from
forensic, checking psychiatric

00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:48,that sort of thing.

00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:52,I'm in the cab eight hours a day.

00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:55,What's the matter? You never heard of
overtime?

00:05:55,580 --> 00:05:56,Okay.

00:05:57,260 --> 00:06:00,All right, it's a lousy detail, okay?
You g***t my sympathy.

00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,But we're looking at a very ugly
situation here. Already 20 % of the cab

00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:05,are the ones that are going to work.

00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,If we don't get this guy soon, we're
going to have a city without cabbies.

00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:11,Now, you find out a way of nailing this
crud without driving a cab. You tell me

00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,about it, all right?

00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:26,Taxi. You can never get a cab when you
want it.

00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:31,Any luck? Are you kidding?

00:06:31,071 --> 00:06:34,Cagney, it's a lousy detail and you've
g***t my sympathy.

00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:37,What? Eight o 'clock tomorrow morning.
Back in the cabs.

00:06:38,830 --> 00:06:41,Well, join the police force and see the
world. Huh?

00:06:41,361 --> 00:06:46,How's a guy get a cab driver out of his
cab? I mean, has a New York City cab

00:06:46,190 --> 00:06:48,driver ever gotten out, opened the door
for you?

00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:50,Once.

00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:55,for an elderly person.

00:06:55,690 --> 00:06:56,Wheelchair.

00:06:57,130 --> 00:06:58,Nun, maybe.

00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:00,Hardly your homicidal killer types.

00:07:01,790 --> 00:07:03,How about somebody with groceries?

00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:06,I g***t it.

00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:08,A nun with groceries.

00:07:09,410 --> 00:07:10,I think it's time to go home.

00:07:10,970 --> 00:07:12,Me too.

00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:14,I can just get a cab.

00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:20,Don't you think Harv looks kind of like
a younger Marlon Brando, though?

00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:21,Definitely.

00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:47,Chris is right in back of me in a backup
car. This guy has already killed three

00:07:47,210 --> 00:07:50,times. I mean, what is Chris going to do
if this guy decides to kill you? Honk

00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:51,the horn?

00:07:51,750 --> 00:07:55,Honey, the man's M .O. is that he gets
out the cab. Don't give me this M .O.

00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:57,business. You are fake for a killer,
plain and simple.

00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:02,Well, it happens to be my job. Your job
is to protect people, not to drive

00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:04,around in a taxi cab waiting for
somebody to kill you.

00:08:10,631 --> 00:08:16,to tell you something i don't want to be
there when they hand me the flag shake

00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,my hand and tell me about the ultimate
sacrifice detective lacey made for the

00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:25,people of new york and neither does
harvey jr and neither does michael

00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:30,now don't show up i don't need you

00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,the problem is i think he's losing

00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:38,interest in me physically

00:08:50,350 --> 00:08:53,Of course, he could be playing around a
little on the side.

00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:55,What do you think?

00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:59,I really don't know.

00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:02,Well, this is it.

00:09:04,430 --> 00:09:05,23rd and 7th.

00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:30,Hey, Mary Beth.

00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:32,Knock it off, will you, Christine?

00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,Do you want to take a break for lunch?
No, I've g***t a better idea.

00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,Follow me.

00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,Yes, ma '**.

00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,Box the two, the six, and the nine for a
$20 exact in the fourth race.

00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,And a hundred to win on the two.

00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:00,Yeah, that's it.

00:10:00,511 --> 00:10:06,Want a nut? No, thanks. Max, you
shouldn't waste your money betting on

00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,Nobody's lucky enough to win.

00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,Luck has nothing to do with it. I'm a
scientist.

00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,I study the racing form like I study a
step, methodically.

00:10:13,961 --> 00:10:18,Somewhere in there every day, there's a
clue to the winner. Want a nut? What

00:10:18,220 --> 00:10:19,have you g***t for us today?

00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:20,I found a fiber.

00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:23,Fibers occasionally lead to information.

00:10:23,420 --> 00:10:27,But I should tell you, we're talking
long shot here. Don't hold your breath.

00:10:27,630 --> 00:10:30,What have you...
