The Equalizer (1985–1989): Season 2, Episode 15 - Memories of Manon: Part 1 - full transcript

- You gonna get to see your father die.
- Papa !

No !

God help me !

She's Manon's daughter.

That's why I've called you.

Yvette, I'm goind to get you
and your father out of this.

In 24 hours is Chrysalis or is you !

You have 5 seconds to give me the name.

Time's up !
Throw him out of the window !

Hey, wait a minute !

Tell him we're gonna move on the girl.



Yvette, you must have
that map memorized by now.

There's so many places to go.
You're missing everything, papa.

Not everything. I have my own
private tour arranged by the NYPD

for visiting inspectors from Quebec.

Seen the inside of all sorts
of hotel conference rooms.

I wish mother could have been here.
She used to love the sightsee.

What's on the agenda today?

- Taxi !
- Or museums.

- Thought I'd check out some primitive art.
- Getting tired of the old masters, are we ?

Teach a course by now.

Am I dinning alone again tonight ?

Sweetheart, Tom Childress
is going to Washington

and I have to meet with
him before he leave,

but tomorrow night I promise
to spend the whole evening together.



I mean it, but don't wait
up tonight. I may be late.

Just don't forget about tomorrow.

Have I ever gone back on my word?

You really want me
to answer that ?

No, I don't.

But I do promise about tomorrow night.

Have a terrible day.

- Bye !
- Bye !

No !

No !

Come on, come on, let's go !

Move it, move it !

Hello, Yvette.

I've been watching you for days.

You're very beautiful.

Please, don't hurt me.

That might be fun.

Where are you taking me now?

Don't worry, I've been planning
this move for a long time.

Not only are you very beautiful,

but you're very lucky.

You're going to get
to see your father die.

Gentlemen, to success !

Continued cooperation
between Quebec and New York.

Watch the man who just came in.

One in the trench coat.

You see, he's going to
walk right across the room

and he's going to take out a pistol
and blow your father's head off.

No !

Darling.

No !

No !

Save your strength.

He can't hear you,
he can't see you.

Papa !

You see that I'm not such a bad guy.

I saved your father's life.

That's what we call a dry run.

Now, unless you do exactly
what I tell you to do,

the next time it's going to be for real.

I want the true identity of a man code
named Chrysalis.

Your father knows that identity.

I want you to find out who it is
and tell me and no one else.

But I I don't know who that is.

I don't know how. Please !

You're a very smart girl.

You'll find a way.
I'd try very hard if I were you.

He doesn't like to be disappointed.

Please, I don't know
how to get what you want.

Well, you have 48 hours.

You looked through his files,

read his notes,

listening on his phone calls,

and remember, don't talk
to anyone, OK?

Because you know we're going to be watching,

we're going to be listening, and
we even have your hotel room bugged.

Now, one wrong move,

and you and your father are both dead.

Where is it ? Why can't I find it?

Hi, sweetheart.

How was your day?

Fine, how was yours ?

Odd.

I had a little trouble at lunch.

What happened?

Oh, nothing to worry about.

I've got a surprise for you.

Your godfather's coming
to breakfast tomorrow.

I thought that would make you happy.

Oh, it does. That's wonderful.

I can't wait to see him.

Well, he certainly
can't wait to see you.

Are you all right ?

I'm OK.

Papa, I love you.

Well, I love you too.

Get back on his feet
and get him in there.

Ah, come on, McCall, get with it.

Get the lead out your bucket.

Why don't you just let me die a natural death
and do that without your assistance?

Were you the one who signed up.

That makes you my new hockey.

I don't know why that makes
me so sick to my stomach.

You haven't been eating right.

We'll put you on some protein shakes.

Does it come with cream
and chocolate sauce?

That stuff will kill you.

You mean this won't ?

Oh, that's wonderful.

This is like old times,
you know? Thank you.

Well, you wouldn't come to Quebec,

so we had to come here.

I will come to Quebec, I promise.

So... And you are a very
sophisticated college graduate.

I can't believe that.

Last June.

Excuse me.

Marcel.

Oh, hello Peter.
I'll meet you in the lobby.

Excuse me for just a minute.

You just take your time

and give us a chance to get
reacquainted, all right ?

Well, now your father says that you're
starting a graduate art program,

and that does not surprise me at all.

You know, your mother
was a very artistic person.

What ? What is...?

You know I will never forget
when Mano and I first met.

I thought she was the most
beautiful woman I had ever seen.

We were students together,
you know, at the Sorbone.

Of course, every man who met
your mother fell in love with her.

Including me.

But your father
was the lucky one.

I mean, she...

... broke a lot of hearts
when she married him.

I'm going to tell you something, Yvette.

You are absolutely as
beautiful as your mother was.

And I want you to
remember that, all right ?

I apologize for the interruption.

No, that's alright.

Yvette and I had
a wonderful talk.

Kind of reminds me of
when she was a little girl.

Somehow we always managed
to understand each other.

Didn't we ?

You gonna be worse tomorrow.

25 more right now.

W 77th St gym.

McCall ?

Yeah, he's here.

Quitter.

Hello !

I'm sorry to bother you, Robertm
but this is very important.

- Oh, bless you for calling !
- I need to see you right away.

I'm not in the fit condition to
be seen by anybody at the moment.

This can't wait. Has
got to be right now.

What's wrong?

Let's call, McCall !

Not on the phone.

Are you working out alone?

Hope it was.

Alright, blame me.
Your apartment, half an hour.

And this is all the
information you've got ?

Her father came in. We had to stop.

We never had a chance
to be alone again.

Control, you...

Don't think she's mentally
unbalanced, do you ?

I have known this girl
since she was a child.

Her father's one
of my oldest friends.

- Yeah, I mean, it's been five years...
- She's not mentally ill, no.

Okay, well, you say that this man
is a police inspector from Quebec.

I mean, who down here is going to be interested

in an ordinary police inspector from Quebec?

I don't know.
I don't know.

We're going to have
to be very careful.

If they're bugging her room that means
they're watching every move she makes.

I'm going to set up
a sheltered meeting.

Wait a minute, wait a minute !

If I am going to be involved in this,

you and I going to sink
this out a little, hm ?

It is I who I'm going
to be in charge, all right?

So I will set up
a sheltered meeting.

I just want to be sure
that she's safe, that's all.

Quite, quiet, of course.
So do I.

Let's say, if things are as
desperate as you present,

it will be a pity to slip up
through a lack of objectivity.

Robert, there's something
I have to show you.

I was hoping that you'd
never have to see this,

but I had some of my surveillance
people just in case.

What is this ?

highlights of our Pakistan trip ?

- Supposed to be funny ?
- No, Robert.

Manon it's dead.

It's not Manon.
Look again.

How's she ?

She's Manon's daughter.

That's why I called you.

Damn you !

McCall, what are you doing here?

I got a meeting.
Get in the car.

Give me the address,
I'll follow you.

Just getting the car, Mickey, please.

I can't. I'm parked in
front of a fire hydrant.

I can't just leave the car.

Mickey, I don't give a damn if you're
parked in front of Buckingham Palace.

Get in the car !

All right, all right.

McCall !

- I knew you'd come back for more.
- I can barely walk, thanks to you.

Hey, Kostmayer,
how you doing, my man?

Hey, Bump.

Didn't you got blown away
running guns in Cambodia ?

Campuchia, baby.

And you learned wrong,
nobody blows away ***.

- Bump, somewhere we can talk ?
-Yeah, right over here.

This must be his office.

Nice decor.

Nobody ever know you went
to Yale Law.

Hey, go easy ! I don't want to lose
my standing in the community.

Bump, you have any idea when Control
is going to send you out on another job ?

Well, it's guaranteed me
three months of R&R,

but I'll believe that when I see it.

So, what's going down, McCall ?

It's a small operation.

Comes under the category of diversion
and psychological warfare.

Well, you've come to the right man.

It's like I always say,

why break a dude's kneecaps
when you can mess with his mind?

Well, you're ready ?

You didn't forget our date, did you ?

We're supposed to go roller skating.

No, no, I...Well, I mean, I guess I did...

Mickey.

Well, so much
for my unforgettable charm.
But I'll forgive you.

Look, it's a beautiful day outside.
Let's get rolling.

OK.

Don't impact. We've being followed.

OK, you're doing really great,
you know ? Jjust take it easy.

Just take it easy.

We're going to speed up when
we get around the next bend.

Those yoyos behind us
are in for a big surprise.

Come on now.

We're sorry, man.

What you do is got to be careful
where you're walking.

Damn you !

Funky he's got himself some heavy metal.

Well let's see what
he's got. Open him up !

I'm gonna kill you !

You got a big mouth for little
man and we are terrified !

What you'll kill us with ? Your fingernails ?

You know what I think?

I think these dudes
are out of their league.

Hello.

- Who are you?
- My name is Robert McCall.

I'm a friend of your godfather.

He asked me to help you.

Can you?

Well I already am.

Well, Phillip, painter it again.

I just got word from Baltimore.
They're handing down indictments

on the five top mob leaders in the city.

A few more days of your man
answering questions

and we'll be able to shove
on half the East Coast operation.

I don't like it.

Is too easy, is too smooth.

That's my intuition, but...

I have a feeling
something's going wrong.

The business in the restaurant yesterday,
is still worrying you?

- Warnings always worrying me.
- Oh, we haven't...

Going pretty fast lately.

Maybe we should pull
back for a while.

You want to take a breather?

No, no, no, not after all the trouble

we went to to get our
departments to cooperate.

Don't want to go
through all that again.

We finally find the tip
of the iceberg.

We can't just let it float
away and always keep going.

*** in some time until it does.

- Play it for all it's worth.
- Good.

I got a series of questions

on the mob infrastructure
in Washington DC.

When can you get to them again?

You got an appointment 11:00
o'clock tonight.

- You want to back up ?
- No, I'll handle it myself.

The man's dangerous, Phillip.

He'll never know we're watching.

I uncovered him.

You only talk to me.

Same as always. I'm going alone.

So you are quite certain
that you have never heard

your father mentioned
the word Chrysalis ?

I'm positive.

All right.

Your godfather asked me to
take care of this situation, which means that

I'm doing precisely that.

And from this moment you are under
my protection, which means that...

- Should I try to tell my father ?
- No. No, no, no.

I will tell him when the time is right.

Yvette...

I realize you don't know who I am.

Well, I know who you are.

I was a friend of your mothers.

Many years ago.

Robert McCall,

I know who you are.

I remember my mother used to
talk about you before she died.

Strange.

She thought I'd meet you someday.

I don't know why.

Were you in love with her?

You are very direct.

Just as she was.

- I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry.
- No, no.

It's just that...

From some of the things she said I...

I think she loved you once.

Very much.

She trusted me once, very much.

You must do the same now.

I will,

because she did.

I think it's time we hit the road.

Thank you, Mickey.

Yvette, I'm going to get you
and your father out of this.

I know you will.

Thank you.

You know, my love,
She is so like you.

So like you.

That's Stu Gaga.

And that's Ernie Slackman.

Enforces Frank Dorgan.

Low level mobsters.

Well if these were the
two watching Yvette,

it logically follows that it was
Frank Dorgan who grabbed her, right?

Well that is very strange.
That's very surprising.

Dorgan usually operates
under blankets of security.

Obviously Marcel

is putting Dorgan under a
great amount of pressure,

which would suggest that he
is getting inside information.

- Ie, an informant.
- Chrysalis.

Excuse me.

- McCall.
- It's Mickey.

They're all checked in, McCall.

Oh, thank you, Mickey.

I'll be there.

I've created an observation
room on Yvette's floor,

so she'll be washed at
all times from now on.

Callum it's about Washington DC.

Who's there?

Papa, is that you ?

It's very interesting,
Mr Slackman. Very interesting.

Frank Dorgan gave
Evette Marcel 48 hours

to find the identity of Chrysalis.

She's got 14 hours left.

And yet you attempt to kill her.

Now. question is...

Why ?

Who the hell are you ?
A cop ?

Very soon you may well wish that I was.

I want to see an attorney.

Really ?

Well, I'm sure we can oblige you.

My colleague here, I'm sure, will
be delighted to represent you.

What have you to say about
your client, colleague ?

He's a Turkey.
Wipe him out.

Well, there you are, you see.

That's the first
honest attorney you've ever had.

Now I'm going to ask
you one simple question.

I'm not telling you nothing.

What a terrible double negative.

Well, now, you do have the
right to remain silent,

but I think I should warn you
if you exercise that right,

I will kill you.

You can't get away with this.

Watch me !

Now, I want to know

who you are working for and
don't tell me it's Frank Dorgan.

It would not be logical for
Mr Dorgan to kill that girl

until he has found out
who Chrysalis really is,

therefore, somebody else wants her dead.

- I want to know who. I want the name.
- You're crazy !

This guy's a little time.
Maybe I should loosen him up, huh ?

Oh dear, oh dear !

I did hope that wouldn't be necessary.

You have 5 seconds to give me the name.

Times up !
Throw him out of the window !

Wait ! Wait a minute !

To make turkey sloppy wings,
you might have a chance to get fly.

OK, OK !

My client has waived his
right to remain silent.

Very wise.
Name !

Carmack !

Jean Carmack.

What did he say?

- Jean Carmack.
- Thank you !

Jean Carmack...

Dorgan's right hand man.

And Jane Carmack is Chrysalis.

Lower your gun gently into
my hand, Mr Carmack.

Thank you.

Now if you'd like to
move into the other room.

I'm sure we'll be more
comfortable in here.

Don't worry about Mr Slackman.
He won't be going anywhere.

We've admired your collection
of first editions. Is rather nice.

Your ***, do you?

How'd you get in here?

Quite easily really.

I'm afraid we've been playing around
with your electronic surveillance system.

It's no longer in operation.

Nor any of your guards.

Dorgan sent you, huh ?

No.

But that does raise
a fascinating question.

Like how can a man that's been a
traitor to his colleagues in the mob

expect to survive ?

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

Yes, you do.

You were afraid that Dorgan was going
to discover that you were Chrysalis,

so you ordered your man
there to kill the girl.

Naturally, he failed.

Who the hell are you ?

I'm a businessman

who has come here to offer
you the deal of your life ?

I've been hired to
protect the Marcels.

And as you have seen, I am...

... pretty efficient in what I do.

But I will deliver the girl to you,

for a price.

- How much ?
- $100,000 cash on delivery.

- And when is this contract to be fulfilled ?
- Sometime tomorrow.

- And if I agree to this, then...
- Two stipulations. One, quite obviously,

you don't harm the girl
until she's in your hands,

and then after that, well,
it's entirely up to you.

Two, you stay by your
telephone throughout the day

because sometime during
the course of the day

you are going to receive
a set of instructions

and you will follow them
to the letter. Clear ?

How do I know I can trust you ?

Of course you don't really, do you?

Are we agreed ?

- Agreed.
- Goodnight, Mr Carmack.

Well, there's one other point.

If you break our deal,

I will see that your name

is given to every crime family
throughout the United States of America.

And within 24 hours you'll be dead.

And if by some strange reason
they don't get you, I sure as hell will.

Hang in there.

All right?

Guys call the meeting.
What do you want?

I love this.

Everything's going to hell and he acts
like he loused up his dinner.

Just take it easy, Tom.

He said we're going to take your car.

Wait a minute, wait a min...

You got a problem with the way
I'm running things here, Calvin?

Why don't you just put it
right on the table ?

I got a problem, alright?

There's an indictment
coming, with my name on it.

What's matter with you, guys ?

I got to lead you around
by the nose all the time.

That's what you got
to attorneys for.

Hey, Frank, you don't talk
to your friends like that.

Tommy's right.

We got to see some action.

What do you think?

I got a party
going in something?

I got more problems
in the tool you put together.

I had to bail out five
of my men this morning, Frank.

It spread all over the front page.

The heads of the other families
are starting to panic.

This guy keeps talking,
we all lined up in prison.

I told you he'll be dead in 24 hours.

You said that 24 hours ago.
You don't even know who he is.

You know, it's a little hard for me
to understand why it's taking so long.

You ever hear something called
a Federal Witness Protection program ?

You make one mistake,

the guy disappears in
the program forever.

And if we don't find him,

so we're all going to disappear forever.

- I said 24 hours.
- 24 hours /

You want 24 hours, Frank?

We'll give you 24 hours.

But after that,
the clock stops.

And 24 hours, it's
Chrysalis or it's you.

Sleep well, Frank.

**** ?

Call Carmack. Have him
meet me at my house.

Tell him we're going to move on the girl.

I don't want to go back.
I want to stay here with you.

Well, you hardly ever see me anyway.

That's all right.

Sweetheart, I don't know
how to tell you this exactly, but...

I'm getting worried about you.

You're not yourself. There's something
wrong and you're not talking about it.

This is the first time anything
like this has ever come between us.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?
You can tell me anything.

Nothing's wrong, Papa.

- Don't send me home.
- Sweetheart, I love you.

You don't have to call me
if you don't want to.

Thank you.

Look at the time ! I'm
late. I'm sorry, I have to go.

- You forgive me ?
- Yes.

- Are you sure you'll be alright ?
- Go.

OK, I'll see you later.

Yvestte, where you been?

- I've been looking all over for you.
- Hi, Mickey !

I got tickets to Radio City.

Oh great !

What's weong ?

I wanted to tell my father
everything. I really did.

You want to talk about it ?

Not really.

Would you mind if we skip the show ?

I'm not feeling very festive.

Then I know just the place
for us to go.

What's the matter ?

The strangers in the car
exchanging glances.

We've being watched.

Just take it easy.

Is boyfriend girlfriend time, OK?

It's tough working for McCall.

Phillip Marcel ?

It is strange
that we have never met.

I think you know my name.

Robert McCall

Message came from Control.

Yes, I know I'm acting on his behalf.

The man in the cab said we
will follow, but we lost them.

What is going on?

There's a lot going on.
Going on all around you.

Two days ago,

your daughter was abducted
from this very room, by Frank Dorgan.

Why didn't she tell me ?

What did they do to her ?

They didn't do anything to her.

They've terrorize her.

They forced her to watch your execution.

My what !?

The restaurant.
The man with a gun, remember ?

She saw everything that happened.
They told her

that unless she found out
the identity of Chrysalis,

that you would die.

And she kept this to herself ?

No, she got a message to Control.

We've been protecting her ever since.

This is all my fault.

Last night,

Carmack had one of these men
tried to kill her.

You do realize, don't you that he's been
using you to build his empire, city by city ?

Once the old guard
of the mob,

are either dead or imprisoned.

He will take over the whole
of the Eastern seaboard.

This is all my fault/

For the past two years.

all I've done is cement my contact
with Carmack to further my career.

What do we do now, McCall ?

I'll tell you what you do now.

You carry on your normal business.

You do not mention this meeting
to anyone, certainly not Yvette,

and prepare yourself to be able
to leave this city at a moment's notice.

Why can't I just take
her out of here now ?

You know why you can't do that.

You'll both be dead
before you reach the airport.

And if by some chance
they didn't kill you, then,

with their contacts,
they'd follow you anywhere.

All right.

I'll do whatever you say.

McCall, I...

There's something you should know.

Something...

... that I...

Something that I dind't
want you to know untill now.

I love Yvette.

I have raised her from
the moment she was born.

I...

This is very hard to say.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Don't you ? Come back to years.
Count them, McCall.

Yvette is not my natural daughter.

She is yours.

She's what ?

I thought you'd might like to know
that young woman you're trying to save

is part of you.

Mickey !

Mickey !

No !

Don't !

No ! Let me go !

No !

Help ! Somebody help me !

Help !

Mickey !

What did you do to him ?

- Let me go !
- Move it !

- Move it !
- Let me go !
