All language subtitles for The.Equalizer.2021.S01E10

ROBYN: I'm the one you
call when you can't call 911.

MEL: Previously
on The Equalizer...

- What does your mom do again?
- I don't know. Charity stuff?

I can't cover for you if I don't
know what I'm covering for.

- All these people...
- Have no one else to turn to.

I was going to use my connection
to the vigilante to compromise her.

Meaning perhaps I'm the
one who's been compromised.

Hands up.

Don't shoot.

- Look at that.
- [shutter clicks]

- Make sure you send me that.
- I got you.

Not what you expected, huh?

To be honest, I was surprised
you asked me to bring you out here.

I wasn't expecting anything
except Percs and Molly.

Hey, hey. I just came for this
delicious pizza I keep hearing about.

I'm telling you, Al Daconte's
has the best slice in the city.

Jason's cute. I should have asked
him to bring us out here a long time ago.

Don't encourage him.

- Hear that, Jay? You're the man.
- [tires screech]

[screaming]

MAN: Go!

Jason!

Oh, my God.

No!

Call 911!

- Delilah.
- Mom.

Oh, my God. You all right?

- I'm fine, yeah.
- What are they saying?

Jason and the other man who
was shot were brought into the ICU.

I overheard a nurse say
that one of the victims died,

but I don't know if
it was Jason or not.

I mean, if we weren't cutting school,
this would have never happened.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no, no.

It's not your fault, baby. It's not
your fault. Come on, sit down.

It's all right.

WOMAN: Why were you in that
neighborhood in the first place?

- We were just hanging out, Mom.
- You were just hanging out.

- GIRL: Yes.
- WOMAN: We talked about this.

BOY: I saw a white guy.

A weird beard.

He had this ponytail.

I... I couldn't really
get anything else.

I... He drove by
really fast. It was like...

[door buzzer]

Good to see you, son.

- How you doing, Pop?
- Has it been a month already?

No. Just needed to talk.

From that look, it
can't be anything good.

Just been thinking, about
everything that landed you here.

What made you cross the line?

This about that woman
vigilante you been dancing with?

I may be locked up,
but I'm still connected.

Answer the question.

Yeah, you're at that age. Your
eyes are starting to open, huh?

The system was getting in
the way of us getting justice,

so I did what I needed to do.

Stealing money from drug dealers
and setting up somebody for murder

has nothing to do with justice.

We were putting our lives
on the line with subpar gear

because it wasn't in the budget.

Guess what? Bad
guys don't have budgets.

They have AR-15s and
armor-piercing rounds.

- You swore an oath...
- To put away bad people.

To uphold the law.

For years I did everything
right. And for what?

70 grand and a pension

while these guys are carrying
70 grand in their pocket?

How is that fair?

We took that money
to level the playing field

and take care of our families.

Was it really about the family,
Pop? Or was it just about you?

That money paid for your life.

You're looking for the line
between right and wrong.

But here's the cold, hard truth.

There is no line.

There's just a... a gray area,
and it's different for everyone.

So you have to decide
who you're gonna be

and what you're willing
to do to get justice.

But don't overthink it. It's
them who belong in cuffs, not us.

- Someone needs to tell me something.
- Yes, ma'am, I understand.

The doctor's on his way...

I'm gonna talk to Nicole.
You okay for a sec?

Yeah.

- What are they saying?
- Nothing.

My son is in there and
nobody has any information.

The police don't
know anything either.

This isn't supposed to happen.
That's why I sent him to that school.

I remember how
excited Jason was to go,

how nervous he
was for his first day.

But Delilah made the
transition easy for him.

Easier than others.

- Like this is his fault.
- Pay them no mind.

I don't. I've dealt with
their kind my whole life.

All that's ever mattered to me

was Jason getting the
education he needed to get out.

And now...

Well, if you need anything,
day or night, I'm there.

Thanks.

SURGEON: Mrs. Henderson?

Jason's in ICU. We're gonna
monitor him and run some more tests.

Is my son going to live?

The bullets that struck
Jason fragmented

and caused multiple wound
channels and tissue damage.

- Jason's lost a lot of blood.
- Answer my question.

Is Jason going to live?

I'm sorry, we just don't know.

How's she doing?

I finally got her
to fall asleep.

I can't imagine what Jason's mother
must be going through right now.

Do the police have any
idea what happened?

If they do, they're
not saying anything.

So what are we supposed
to do, just sit around and wait

till they get their stuff together
to find out what happened?

I'm not waiting.

Robyn?

Oh, my God, Robyn. I'm so
sorry Delilah had to go through this.

How are you doing?

- I want payback.
- No. How are you doing?

I almost lost my baby.

Her friend is fighting for
his life and might not make it.

We got you. The NYPD didn't
have an ID or video of the shooter.

But I was able to get a name of
the second victim. Alejandro Molina.

He was a lieutenant
in the Molina cartel.

He was the go-between
of the local distribution arm

and the cartel in Mexico.

Cartel?

A hit like that is either a
declaration or a response.

But who's crazy enough to
go after the Molina cartel?

Exactly what I'm gonna find out.

Look, if there's beef, someone
in the Molina organization

would know who was targeting
Alejandro, or at least why.

Yeah, if Molina knew, they're
definitely gonna hit back.

Maybe we should let 'em.

We can't. If we do that, more innocent
people are gonna wind up killed.

What I want is the shooter.

Right. Okay.

Known locations of the Molina
cartel according to the NYPD database.

So what's the plan? They're not
gonna wanna give up what they know.

Oh, they'll give it up.

Not what you expected, huh?

- [gunfire]
- [screaming]

[screams]

Dee!

I got you, baby. I
got you. I got you.

Where's Mom?

She went to check on Jason's
mother. She should be right back.

But I'm here.

[chatter in Spanish]

ROBYN: Oh, what, we
planning a party here?

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
I wouldn't do that.

Unless you plan on
blowing up yourselves

and your poor friend Jorge here.

Who's in charge?

- Who killed Alejandro Molina?
- How about you piss off?

- [gunshot]
- [groans]

Rubber bullet.
First one is free.

Quietos.

You have my attention.
Now who the hell are you?

I'm a concerned citizen.

Now, you tell me what I
wanna know and I'll be gone.

But if not, we'll do some
redecorating around here.

What's your interest?

None that crosses
yours. But it is personal.

Now, who killed your man?

The Brigada Seven.

The European crime syndicate?

They approached us about a month
ago to acquire our distribution system.

Looking to expand.

But Molina cartel only
works for the Molina cartel.

And I guess they didn't
take that rejection too well.

Right after we refused, one of our
shipments was seized at the docks.

And killing Alejandro
was sending a message.

Who was the shooter?

He shot a kid.

Kostya. The Brigada's enforcer.

Where can I find him?

Hard to say.
They're like ghosts.

[whimpering]

Open it up.

Do it!

The word is, that's
Kostya's girlfriend.

She tell you where he is?

Not yet, but she will.

Or she'll die, because
she doesn't know.

Cut her down.

Who are you?

Someone who wants to
make sure no one gets hurt.

So if you know where
Kostya is, tell me.

Like I told them, I
don't know, I swear.

Okay, okay, I believe you.

So just go before
they come back. Here.

[ringing tone]

[phone rings]

Detective Dante.

I never got a chance to thank you for
not taking that shot back in the subway.

I know it wasn't easy for you.

I'm not winning any
popularity contests, but I'll live.

Well, let me make it up to you.

You know the kid who got
shot today? I got his shooter.

Those families
deserve to see justice,

so...

I'll do it your way.

We'll do it by the book.

Do you want the address?

Yes.

Go, go! Let's move.

Kitchen clear.

OFFICER 2: Bathroom clear.

[engine revs]

Where were you?

I thought you'd sleep through
the night. I'm sorry I wasn't here.

But I'm here now.

Is there any news on Jason?

No.

Not yet. Come here.

There we go.

[birds chirp]

[phone rings]

Will do. Thank you.

- Who was that?
- Police. They have the shooter.

But you already knew that.

They want Delilah and her
parents to come in for a lineup.

Uh, her dad is in Hawaii
till Friday at a conference.

Aunt Vi, I'm gonna need you
to take her to the police station.

Wait. Don't tell me you
are wanted by the police.

"Wanted" is a strong word.

More like they're aware.

What's wrong?

The police have Jason's
shooter in custody.

They want you to come
down and identify him.

You'll be with me, right?

Um, you know, Jason's mother
is having a really hard time,

and your mom
promised to be with her.

Could I take you
down to the precinct?

Hey, only if it's okay with you.

Um, yeah.

Yeah, that's fine, I guess.

Delilah Fulton? I'm Detective
Dante. This way, please.

- [intercom beeps]
- Send them in.

Don't worry, they can't see you.
This whole process is confidential.

It's okay, baby. I'm right here.

That's him.

Third from the left.

That's the man who shot Jason.

You sure?

I'm positive.

I'm never gonna
forget that face.

I heard you were
very brave today.

I feel bad.

Like I should be crying.

But I can't.

You know, when I lost my daddy,

I was numb for a month.

You feel guilty. You...

You think because you're not
crying, it means you didn't care.

But what it really is, is shock.

- Let's stay positive.
- [phone buzzes]

This could be about Jason.

Hello?

DISTORTED VOICE: We know
you gave a witness statement today.

Make it go away or you're
gonna have a problem.

- Understand?
- Who is this?

- Who the hell is this?
- [line beeps]

Who was that? How did
they get my number, Mom?

How do they know who I am?

I'm sorry, but I won't
risk Tori's safety.

Honestly, I'm thinking of having
Owen recant his statement too.

We're all scared, Mom.

I get it, but if you all recant,
Jason's shooter will go free.

Look, we are not sacrificing
our kids for some gangbanger.

Excuse me?

If it wasn't for Jason dragging
Tori to that part of town,

we wouldn't be
in this situation.

First of all...

Okay, just because Jason
lived in a bad neighborhood

doesn't mean he's a bad person.

And for your information, it wasn't
Jason's idea to take us over there.

We're done here.

- I'll call you later.
- Be safe.

You see, that is some
Karen BS up in here.

I know that Samantha is scared,

but how dare she come up
in here with that superiority

when that baby is
fighting for his life.

I feel like I need to be here,

but I gotta get out there
and run those guys down.

Don't you think the
police can handle this?

They can't even
keep their names safe.

I'm not willing to take
that chance with Delilah.

- This is unacceptable, Captain.
- You don't think I'm pissed off too?

Yeah, but I gave those families my word
their statements would be confidential.

- How could this happen?
- Come on, Dante.

You know exactly
how it happened.

How can we uphold the law

when our legs are being cut out
from under us by our own people?

That's why we
have Internal Affairs.

Right, we'll launch an
investigation into the leaks

but never find
who's responsible!

What do you want me to say?

Tell me what we do
means something.

The system ain't
perfect. I wish it were.

Please tell me
we're going nuclear.

They called and
threatened my daughter.

That's too close. They gonna learn
they messed with the wrong one this time.

Damn straight.

I've done some research
on the Brigada Seven.

They're well organized.
They've dominated Europe.

Now they got their
sights set on the US.

Yeah, I heard of 'em.
Who's in charge here?

I checked with my guy who runs
an underground casino in the Bronx.

He knows everyone
in the drug game.

He says there's new blood in town
making noise the past few months,

and the name Victor
Shishani keeps popping up.

Rumor has it he's in charge of the
Brigada's interests here in New York,

but no one's been able to connect
him directly to the organization.

He appears to have a legit
coffee import/export business,

as well as a restaurant
in SoHo called Metrano.

But 15 years ago
he was Victor Pankiv.

He did counterintelligence
for Ukraine

and worked for a bunch
of Russian oligarchs.

Seems like where corruption
flows, this guy goes.

Yeah, but the NYPD doesn't
have anything on the Brigada.

They have isolated bits of information,
none of which connect to each other.

Look, let's just squeeze one of Victor's
guys to get info on the organization.

No, people who work for
these syndicates are loyal.

Yeah, meaning
they talk, they die.

The Molina cartel said
this whole thing began

when one of their heroin
shipments got busted by the NYPD.

They thought the
Brigada was behind it.

Yeah, well, he may be a ruthless
criminal, but his instincts are spot-on.

The NYPD was tipped off to the Molina
shipment by a confidential informant.

I bet that informant
worked for Victor.

Feeding info to the cops to
disrupt the Molina organization.

He would never expose
one of his own to the cops,

so it has to be someone
outside his organization.

Right. Somebody expendable
but still on his payroll.

- You got a name?
- No, report didn't mention it.

Find that informant.

They may have information
that'll give us Victor,

the Brigada and Jason's shooter.

Where you headed?

To the head of the snake.

Can I help you?

Where I'm from,
combatants are fair game.

But we don't hurt children.

Now, you guys wanna
kill each other, go for it.

But when you start gunning
down civilians in the streets,

it becomes my problem.

So here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna tell
your man Kostya

to plead guilty at his
arraignment tomorrow.

And you are never to
contact those children again.

Presuming I knew what
you're talking about,

which I don't,

why in the hell would I do that?

Because if you don't,
I'm gonna come after you.

Am I supposed to be worried?

It might not worry Victor Shishani.
But it might worry Victor Pankiv.

You're former military
intelligence, so you'd remember.

Bucharest, 2012. Terrorist cell
that killed all those Americans.

Do you remember how the
authorities found those terrorists?

That's who I am.

Now tell me you're not worried.

I suggest you take
me up on my offer,

because this war you
started with the Molina cartel...

it's nothing compared to the
war you just started with me.

Hmm.

Find out who she is

and what her interests
are in this matter.

Start with Bucharest, 2012.

I'm on it.

[phone rings]

ROBYN: What's up, Harry?

Apparently Victor didn't
think you were serious.

His man Kostya
just pled not guilty.

He made bail. One
guess who posted it.

Always the hard way. Any
luck finding that informant?

Nothing yet. Apparently the NYPD
is taking confidential seriously.

Got your message. Who
are you working for this time?

It doesn't matter. A leak in your
house put these kids' lives in danger.

- So what are you gonna do about it?
- What would you have me do?

The informant tipping you
off about the Molina cartel,

I think he works
for the Brigada.

If you have a name or something you
can give me to bring these guys down,

then you need to give it to me.

You know I can't do that.

Can't or won't?

You care about justice?

There's a 15-year-old
boy fighting for his life,

while his shooter
just made bail.

That doesn't feel
like justice to me.

[ringing tone]

[phone rings]

[phone beeps]

Got something for me?

CI's name is Rodney Thompson.

Dockworker at the
Port of New York.

ROBYN: What's up, Rodney?

Wake up.

I hear you got
friends in high places.

The NYPD seized a Molina
cartel shipment of heroin

based off of your call.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Come on, Rodney.

I know the Brigada is paying
you to snitch on the Molina cartel.

So you're gonna tell me everything
you know about their operation,

when and where their
shipments come in, and how often.

- They'll kill me.
- What do you think I'm gonna do?

The water in that pot has been
heating for about two minutes.

It should feel like
a spa treatment.

But you got about two more
minutes before it reaches 110 degrees.

And that's when the pain starts.

At 150, the blistering starts.

At 200, skin starts to peel off.

And that's when
we're really cooking.

Well, you, at least.

So what's it gonna be, Rodney?

- Okay, fine.
- Whoa, wait. Where are you going?

Well, if you don't wanna talk,
there's no need in me being here.

Wait! Turn it off!

Not until you tell me when and where
the Brigada's next shipment is coming in.

[groans] Okay!

Victor has a shipment
coming in tonight at 2 a.m.

200 kilos. Now,
please, turn it off!

Not yet. What ship
is it coming in on?

I don't know, I swear!
Please! It's burning!

Stop whining.
This'll cool you off.

[groans]

You don't mention
this, you live.

[Rodney whimpers]

The Brigada's heroin is
coming in tonight at 2 a.m.

- By ship.
- Did he say which ship?

No. That's what I need
you guys to find out.

- I'll check shipping schedules.
- [line beeps]

Okay. Hold on, hold on.

Hey, Dee, everything okay?

It's Jason, Mom.

He didn't make it.

He died.

[sighs]

This doesn't feel real.

They killed him
like he was nothing.

Sometimes this world
just doesn't make sense.

Jason's dead, and the man who
killed him is walking around free.

How is that fair?
How is that justice?

Just because he made bail
doesn't mean he's gonna go free.

But if the police don't have our
witness statements, he will, right?

No, there's got to be something
we can do. Right, Mom?

[sighs]

Sean Hobbs. Lived
three doors down.

He must have been 13, 14.

Found him in a
field shot to death.

He was so sweet to me.

He was the first of
my friends to be killed.

Kevin Brooks.

Murdered in junior high.

Over some damn sneakers.

He had the best laugh.

Buying this house,
sending Dee to that school...

Part of me believed we
could get away from all that.

Money can't make
problems magically disappear.

That's why I have
to protect Dee.

Robyn, these are
dangerous people.

Should I be afraid?

No.

Because when I'm done,
there will be nothing to fear.

We got a lead on
the Brigada shipment.

Victor's the key. His company's
got a transpo ship called the Gorski.

We checked the schedule. It's coming
in tonight. 2 a.m., just like Rodney said.

- Where?
- Port of New York, G-Basin, D-2307.

MEL: If this shipment is
as big as Rodney claims,

all the key players will
be there, including Victor.

The NYPD has never been able
to tie the Brigada to the heroin.

So we need to take them
down during the exchange.

It's the only way the
cops can make it stick.

So what are you thinking?

Get some rest.

Because I'm gonna
end all of this. Tonight.

- What did you find?
- Not much.

But Bucharest... She
is who she says she is.

Double security.

And get ready.

Detective Dante?
Can I talk to you?

- Delilah, right?
- Yeah.

Um... Thanks.

I know my friends are recanting
their witness statements,

but I wanna keep mine.

I also wanna testify
when the time comes.

Have you discussed
this with your family?

He killed my friend. I
won't let him walk free.

- [phone rings]
- Excuse me for a second.

Detective Dante.

Uh, yeah, hold on.

Give me a moment.

I got it right here. Case
number, uh... 211579.

Listen, I gotta call you back.

I think what you're doing is
brave, Delilah. I respect that.

But I want you to talk it
over with your parents.

If they agree, have them call
me and we can discuss. Okay?

Okay.

Need some help?

No, I'm good.

- Have you talked to Jason's mom?
- Yeah.

She's making
arrangements for his services.

I want you to know, I've decided
to testify against Jason's killer.

It's not right he gets to
be free and Jason's gone.

That is a big decision.

And I'll be right
there with you.

Do you know Detective Dante?

Is that the detective
that took your statement?

I think Aunt Vi might
have mentioned him. Why?

No reason.

He's really nice. That's all.

All right, Victor just got here, and
his men are unloading the heroin now.

- Did Mel make the call?
- HARRY: Per your instructions.

They know they're armed
and the heroin will be there.

- They should be arriving any minute.
- Okay.

I'm gonna cover the back, just
in case Victor decides to run.

KOSTYA: Do not move.

Go.

You should have pled guilty.
You might have lived longer.

You know, after our introduction,
I knew you'd be the one.

One what?

In every city the
Brigada takes over,

most of the people fall in line
after a proper show of power.

But there's always an anomaly.
A small spark of resistance.

- More like a bolt of lightning.
- You are only one person.

Whereas I have an entire
organization at my back.

We have an old saying:

"It is only in a group
of like-minded men

that one can become truly
free of any fear of reprisal."

Catchy. But I have a better one.

"The enemy of my
enemy is my friend."

- [gunfire]
- [shouting]

KOSTYA: It's the Molinas!

Go, go, go!

ROBYN: Victor and Kostya
are getting away. Cover me.

[vehicle beeping]

That was for Jason.

You should have taken my offer.

Why is this so important to you?

Because the girl you
threatened is my daughter.

And no one messes
with my family.

[sirens wail]

CAPTAIN: This is a damn mess.

How the hell did the Molina cartel end
up in the same place as the Brigada?

- No idea.
- I don't even know where to begin.

I guess the universe
balances itself out, huh?

- Yeah.
- [phone rings]

The universe.

You've been busy.

Thanks for your help. What
made you change your mind?

I didn't want the system
to get in the way of justice,

but after seeing these bodies,
I'm not sure it was the right call.

Not one of them was an innocent
caught in the cross fire like Jason.

Come on, Marcus.

Imagine what we could accomplish
if we were on the same team.

- You mean your team.
- Our team.

We find a balance that
works for both of us.

I'll give it to you, you do
know how to skirt the line.

Tell you what.
I'll think about it.

But whichever way this
falls, you should know,

if I'm not coming after
you, someone else will be.

We're all gonna get
through this, Dee. Together.

I'll make some tea.

ROBYN: I'm so sorry you
had to go through this, Dee.

Jason was a really good kid,

and he didn't deserve
what happened.

Hey, you okay?

No.

I need to ask you something.

Okay.

I saw something.

Your photo.

On Detective Dante's desk.

Is that why you made up that excuse
to not go to the precinct with me?

- Are you in trouble with the police?
- No.

- Dee, whatever you thought you saw...
- I also saw that storage unit.

You on that motorcycle,

the money, the guns, the wigs.

All of it.

On the news, they had a
report about that huge shootout.

They showed some of the victims.

One of them was Jason's killer.

Was that you?

Did you do that?

Delilah, honey...

You don't work for a
charity, do you, Mom?

Delilah...

There are some things
that you don't understand...

Yeah, there are.

For starters...

who are you?
