The Equalizer (1985–1989): Season 2, Episode 16 - Memories of Manon: Part 2 - full transcript
- Is she dead ?
- No, she's just doped up.
But she will be when
I'll finish with her.
Oh my God !
It wasn't me...
Where is she ?
Why didn't you tell
me who she really was ?
- What are you taling about ?
- My daughter is what I'm talking about.
- I want to bait a trap.
- So Yvette can get caught in it ?
Get away. You want to sell me to them.
That is not true.
Yvette !
Please !
Finish her off !
Last week on The Equalizer.
- You gonna get to see your father die.
- Papa !
Save your strength.
He can't hear you,
he can't see you.
No !
Say goodbye to your father, Yvette.
Papa !
That's what we call a dry run.
Now, unless you do exactly
what I ask 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.
God help me.
- Who's she ?
- She's Manon daughter.
That's why I called you.
Damn you !
You don't know who I am.
But I know who you are.
I was a friend of your mother's.
Were you in love with her?
I had to bail out five
of my men this morning, Frank.
It spread all over the front page.
*** indictments handed down.
If Chrysalis keeps talking,
we're all lined up in prison.
I told you he'll be dead in 24 hours.
We'll give you 24 hours.
But after that,
the clock stops.
In 24 hours, it's
Chrysalis or it's you.
Who the hell are you ?
I'm a businessman.
I've been hired to
protect the Marcels.
But I will deliver the girl to you,
for a price.
There's something you should know.
It's a...
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.
Call Carmack.
Tell him we're going to move on the girl.
Mickey !
No !
No !
- Let me go !
- Move it !
- Move it !
- Let me go !
She's Manon's daughther.
That's why i called you.
Where you in love with her?
Yvette, I'm going to get you
and your father out of this.
Come back to years.
... that young woman you're trying to save
is part of you.
Yvette is your daughter.
McCall !
And now the conclusion
of memories of Manon.
48 hours, Yvette ! 48 hours !
Yvette ! Yvette, come to me !
I will help you.
You go to Manon.
Manon will help you.
Help me !
Good morning.
You slept your time away.
I gave you 48 hours to get me the identity of
Chrysalis, and you just slept it away, Yvette.
You drugged me.
I give her a simple little
job to do and she fails.
Now, you know something ?
From now on, I'm going to have
to put you on a tighter rope.
You understand what I'm saying ?
And we're going to do the job together.
- Look, I did the best I could.
- Your best wasn't good enough, was it?
Hey, if you're not happy with, work with
someone else. They gave her 48 hours.
It wasn't up yet.
I can't help if they don't
play by their own rules.
You saw what happened.
I'm lucky to be alive.
- You were supposed to protect her.
- I don't need this.
First I get shot in the back,
then you dump a lot of grief on me.
You can stick him, McCall.
Count me out.
I'm sorry.
I appreciate what you did.
The hell's the matter with you ?
Never seen you act like this before.
The girl is my daughter.
I only discovered it this morning.
What are we standing here for?
That's right.
We'll talk to the dealers.
You can get a list of names.
Send it up by courier.
Good morning !
Hey, it's about time you got here.
We just got this under a SWAT
team out to get you out of bed.
Sorry, I was delayed.
- Meet with Chrysalis ?
- Last night.
- Well ?
- Took the questions.
What about the answers?
I've got a DA in Washington
It's hard to get out of indictments
and your man is the one
who got the answer...
He's operating at high risk,
you know that.
You just have to wait.
I ..
I got some bad news this morning.
I'll have to go to Quebec.
Why?
Something personal.
I...
I just found out about it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- Is there anything we can do to help?
- No.
I don't mean to be insensitive, Philip, but
do you have any idea when you're coming back?
I don't know.
Maybe a couple of weeks.
Two weeks?
There's some things up
there I have to handle.
Chrysalis is your contact.
We can't do anything without you.
I know that.
And I'm sorry, but
there's nothing I can do.
Waiting for a phone call.
When it comes, I'm gone.
Good shooting.
Now, put it down !
I told you that I would give
you Yvette Marcel for $100.000.
I told you that I would do it
in my own time and in my own way.
And I told you not to touch her
until the exchange had taken place.
You have broken our agreement.
I haven't !
Colleague, I think Mr Carmack should
go a little closer to the targets.
Out !
Move!
I kept our bargain,
you gotta believe me.
Move !
Downrange.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Stand up straight and
smile for the camera.
Do it or I'll blow you away.
You can't do this.
That's what everyone thinks.
The target is ready.
It wasn't me.
I didn't do a thing to her.
I swear it !
It was Dorgan !
Dorgan...
He pulled her in.
Where is she?
I don't know where she is.
Keep it up or your memory
lapse will be permanent way.
All right.
Wait, wait, wait ! All right !
Wait !
Dorgan, he took her to a
boiler room or something.
Is he going to kill her ?
No, no, no.
He wouldn't do that.
She's all he got.
Killing her will bring down too much heat.
Where's the boiler room ?
You can't go there.
It's a secret place.
You would figure out ***.
Where is it ?
You're gonna have to kill him.
You understand that ?
Where is it ?
All right, all right, all right !
It's in the South Bronx.
An abandoned factory
at President Franklin.
It's on the southeast corner.
I'll get $100.000.
And this time, wait 'till I telephone you.
McCall !
Oh, my God !
Robert !
Where is she ?
She hasn't been in the
room for over three hours.
Where is she ?
Frank Dorgan's got her.
What are you t... ?
What ?
Kostmayer got caught in a trap.
And how could you... ?
What are you doing about it ?
Everything possible.
I should never have
trusted anybody with this.
I should have done myself.
Why didn't you tell
me who she really was ?
What are you talking about ?
My daughter is what I'm talking about.
Oh, my God !
He told you.
You have known from the
very beginning, haven't you ?
From the moment she was born, you knew.
You've known, haven't you ?
Yes.
For years and years of deceit.
That's all you can say, is it? Yes ?
Robert, there was a reason Manon
made me swear never to tell you.
- After all these years...
- do you think I was doing it out of spite ?
Do you think I wanted to ?
That's why... that's why
she's my Goddaughter,
because I knew she was your child.
Is that why you assigned
me all over the world ?
- But never once back to France ?
- No, no, no, no !
You will not leave that
on me, Robert McCall. No !
You never went back because
you were afraid to go back.
That is a damn lie !
Listen, old son, you'd better start
remembering things the way they really were,
you know that?
- I loved her and I wanted to marry her.
- But you didn't.
You were just like me, too
busy conquering the world.
One more chance at the brass ring.
One more assignment, huh?
I didn't marry her
because she didn't wait.
She waited, Robert.
She waited for over a year.
Then she lost hope.
Look, she didn't want
me to tell you because...
Because she didn't want you back
out of some kind of obligation.
She wanted you back out of love.
Wait, where you going ?
Look, I gave you this assignment.
I want to be involved.
- So what's next?
- I don't know what's next.
- Well, we gotta need something.
- You think I don't know that ?
I don't know. It's the first time in my
life I can't put the pieces together.
What do you mean ?
I've always been able to
compartmentalise everything.
Now when the walls are down,
I don't know anymore
either to be a cold professional,
concentrating only on the
infinite details of the job in hand
and still feel what I'm feeling inside.
Before you knew who
she was, you had a plan.
Yes.
- You believe in it ?
- Yes ! Yes, I believe that.
Yes.
Well, then you have to
follow through completely.
You told me something once
that I've never forgotten.
You said the most powerful man you ever
knew had an iron will and a broken heart.
Did I said that ?
I was really drunk at the time.
You were.
You also said that man was your father.
Yeah.
Come on.
Let's get into position at the hotel.
- What are we gonna do ?
- Carry out the plan, what else ?
Damn it !
You said you're protect her.
Why didn't I listen ?
Why didn't I just take her home ?
They would have hunted
you down wherever you went.
The only way to deal
with this is here and now.
I'm calling the police.
Normally, that would be a very wise
decision, but not in this particular instance.
We have to keep this totally secret,
otherwise Yvette will die.
Has it occurred to you
she may be dead already ?
No !
No, Frank Morgan is
a very practical man.
He hasn't yet got what he wants.
What he wants is the
identity of Chrysalis.
And at the moment, he still thinks that
Yvette is the only card he has left to play.
I want to bait a trap.
So Yvette can get caught in it ?
You guarantee her safety ?
- I can't guarantee anything.
- That's right, you can't.
I know all about you.
The big gambler willing to risk
anyone on one throw of the dice.
You know very little about me.
I only risk everything on one throw,
when I only have one throw left to risk.
Is that why everyone around you dies ?
- Manon told me this.
- She told you what?
That you were burned out.
All you can feel it was danger.
Is that what she thought ?
Well, she was wrong, wasn't she ?
Because I walked away
from it just as she did.
Do you think so ?
This life you've created,
that's all you've got left.
Now Yvette's caught up in it too.
What are you trying to prove ?
You know,McCall...
You know why I think...
... Manon never really got over you.
You ever get married, McCall ?
Yes.
It finished a long time ago.
Children ?
- A son.
- No daughter?
There's one daughter.
She died when she was very young.
I want to say, but I think you
have brought up Yvette beautifully.
Far better than I could ever have done.
But then I didn't learn the art of
fatherhood until it was far, far too late.
She doesn't know that I'm not...
What... What if she does ?
How can you know something like that ?
Robert, what are we going to do?
How can I save her ?
I want to talk to some of your people.
I have a feeling that Frank Dorgan's
next target is going to be one of them.
Hey, Gene !
Frank, how you doing ?
Good.
- Beat it !
- Go.
What are you doing?
You know, just looking.
Where you been ?
I've been...
I've been running around.
Yeah, I know.
I've been looking all over
for you at the club, you know.
Oh, sorry.
I left earlier today.
You did, huh ?
You know, I gotta tell you,
something's bothering, Gene.
I want to talk to you
about it, you know ?
I mean, I'm turning
the city upside down.
I'm looking for this
guy, Chrysalis, you know ?
And here you are at the club,
shooting guns, in the park,
running around with broads.
- No !
- Yeah, yeah.
No, Frank. Now. the reason
why I was at the club...
I was waiting for this guy, Ernie ***
He was supposed to report it.
Why are you wasting time
with that garbage for ?
Frank, I don't know what else to do.
I pulled in half the guys in Manhattan.
Nobody knows anything.
Because they're all waiting for
me to fall, Gene, just like you.
- You're waiting for me to fall to.
- How can say that to me ?
I've been with you for 20 years.
We are in this thing together.
Yeah, and I'm going to guarantee
that we're in it together.
You see, those coppers gave me
24 hours to bring this guy in.
Well, I'm gonna give you 23.
And then when they come to blow me away, I'm
gonna be standing on your dead body, Gene !
What do you want to do ?
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
grab a federal agent.
His name is Blanchard.
He's a top banana.
The head of the whole operation.
What I want you to do, Gene,
is, you to call Ernie,
and I want you to get me a taxi.
Fake plates, no tracing.
- Okay ?
- Yeah.
Atta boy.
Where's the girl ?
Is she dead ?
No, she's just doped up.
But she will be when I finish with her.
Here's the cab.
Now you make the call.
Come on, come on, make the call !
Tell them you're going to be in a taxi in
front of the building to meet you there.
And nothing else.
Blanchard.
I've got Yvette Marcel on
the line, Mr. Blanchard.
She'd like to speak with you privately.
Put her through.
It's her.
McCall was right.
It looks like I'm the target.
- Hello, Ybette.
- Mr Blanchard,
is my father anywhere around ?
Yes.
Do you want to talk to him ?
No.
I need to talk to you.
I have to see you.
Can you meet me downstairs ?
Sure.
I'll be in a taxi in
front of the building.
I was just going home.
Why don't we go for a drink ?
I'd like that very much.
I'll be right there.
That was very good.
What she said ?
She wants to meet me
downstairs in five minutes.
Why don't we just take her out of here ?
If we did that, Dorgan get away and
then you put a contract out on both of you.
McCall's plan is a good one.
Why don't we just get on with it ?
Yeah.
Okay, McCall. In the mail truck.
All right. Thank you. Stand by, Mickey.
Yeah ?
Got away. McCall.
The interception is ready.
Stage two is in place on
location at the school.
That was McCall.
Stage two in place.
Good.
Now all we have to do is
get on with stage one.
Pull out Yvette without
Dorgan knowing it.
Yvette, how are you?
Get in.
- What?
- I said, get in or you're dead.
I'm sorry, Mr Blanchard.
They made me do it.
They're moving, McCall.
Here I go.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Get this thing out of here !
Come on, move it !
Hey !
You got something we want !
The identity of Chrysalis.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where the hell is Dorgan ?
He should have been here by now.
Something's wrong.
I got that feeling.
- Give me this briefcase !
- Forget that !
Let's kill him and get out of here.
Money.
It's got Carmack's name on it.
Up against the wall, Crawford !
The hell are you doing ?
I'm sorry, pal.
You know too much.
I'm trying up loose ends.
Mr. Slackman has been employed by Chrysalis
to kill anyone who discovers his identity.
Thank you very much, Mr Blanchard.
Your car is awaiting you.
Thanks, Mr McCall.
Come on, you. You drive.
Not you, Mr Slackman.
I have a little job for you.
You're going to see Mr Dorgan.
And you're going to tell him
that there's been an ambush.
And that Crawford and
Blanchard are both dead,
but that the identity of
Chrysalis is still unknown.
What are you doing?
He'll keep following us.
Be quiet.
Just be quiet.
Then you're going to see Mr Carmack and
you're gonna give him the following message.
As far as I'm concerned,
the deal is still on.
As far as I'm concerned,
it is still cash on delivery.
That I will see him in approximately an hour.
And will he please stop
playing stupid games.
Why wait ?
Why don't we kill her now
and save a lot of trouble ?
We'll do it my way.
Get out of here.
Go, get the hell out! Now ! Move !
All right, Come on, Yvette.
Let's go back to your hotel.
Get away from me !
You're one of them.
I'm not... I'm working with your father.
Come on. Let's go back
to the hotel. Please.
- I don't believe you !
- Yvette ! Yvette...
I'm trying to set a trap.
I can't explain it now.
Come on, let's get back to the hotel.
- Get away from me !
- Yvette !
Come on !
Please.
I'm not gonna huty you.
How could I hurt you?
I'm not going to hurt you.
- Come on.
- Get away!
Yvette...
I'll kill you.
You want to sell me to them?
That's not true.
That's why you didn't
want me to tell my father.
You were setting up your deal.
Yvette, please.
Please !
Yvette !
Please !
Kostmayer.
- Mickey...
- Hey, McCall. What's up ?
There's a problem.
Yvette, she's uhh...
She's going away.
I think she's on her
way back to the hotel.
What do you mean ?
You better meet me there.
Don't try to confront her directly.
She's armed.
What ?
- And she thinks I'm the enemy.
- See you there, Mccall.
Look what we have here !
Just who I was looking for.
What is that ?
She's got a gun. Finish her.
I'll give you what you want.
Chrysalis is Gene Carmack.
- Where do you hear that name ?
- From Blanchard, this afternoon.
- Blanchard is dead.
- No, he isn't. He's alive.
It was a trick.
They planted the name.
Now wait a minute !
She's telling the truth.
It was Slackman who lied to me.
They're working together.
Oh, you did very good, Yvette.
You did very good.
Should I kill her ?
Not now.
- Yvette !
- Father !
You're all right now.
Yeah, You get your men and
meet me over a Gene Carmack's.
You got it. It's him.
Would you believe it?
Okay.
You got it ready ?
Yeah. The time iss set
- To bad about Marcel and Yvette, huh ?
Just not too much.
Put them right in here.
Mr Carmack, Robert McCall.
Are you ready to
complete our transaction ?
Where and when ?
Leave your house in 2 minutes.
Go to the school in the corner of
Jackson and Tremont and wait for me.
Bring the cash.
Open the trunk ! Open the trunk !
- Mr McCall...
- Stay in the car. I'll talk to you later.
Take them to where I told
you alright ? Go, go, go, go !
- Can you delay the timer?
- Kindergarten stuff.
One handed can handle it.
Come on ! Let's go !
Upstairs. Check upstairs.
Gene ! Carmack ! Get out here !
Who the hell are you ?
It's and excellent Scotch.
You have some ?
- Where's Gene Carmack ?
- Somewhere quite safe.
- Winston !
- I wouldn't do that if I were you.
You're highly unintelligent thing
to do until you found out who I am
and what I have to offer.
Well, you better talk fast.
Name, Robert McCall, occupation,
federal agent. That fast enough for you ?
I was a terrible shock to you,
but the girl you know as Yvette
Marcel is really an undercover agent.
Really ?
And I'm the King of Siam.
We've been playing you like a puppet.
Every move you make.
Skaters in the park, the
mailman that blocked your car.
I've been tracking you, Mr Dorgan, ever
since you took the bait at the museum.
What do you want ?
To give you a Gene Carmack,
and as a sign of our good faith,
to promise you that all
investigation of criminal activity
on the Eastern seaboard will cease,
or where it concerns you, of course.
Of course.
How much is this going to cost me ?
$500,000 + 1% of the gross
turnover, paid to me each week
for three years.
You don't want much, do you ?
Not much, considering
you have no alternative.
Very shortly, Mr Carmack is going
to enter the federal witness program,
and then where will
your new residence be ?
Penetentiary.
Look, I don't carry around a
half $1,000,000 in my pocket.
No, no, of course you don't.
But I'm sure you're good for it.
Do we have a deal ?
Yes.
Good.
Why don't I take you
to see Mr Carmack now?
We won't go in your limousine.
He's very tense.
We don't want to
frighten him away, do we?
Are you coming?
Carmack's not here.
Where is he ?
I didn't expect you to be
sitting on the curb, did you ?
Get your man into position.
McCall, don't even think about it.
McCall !
Why are you alone ?
You deliver your side of the
bargain, then I'll deliver mine.
You must think I'm a fool, McCall.
Mr Carmack, patience
is not one of my virtues.
Now get on with it, or the deal's off.
All right !
But you remember,
I've got men covering
every move you make.
I'm sure you do, Mr Carmack.
Where's the woman ?
Open it.
All right, Mr Dorgan !
Damn you !
Shoot... Somebody shoot them !
It's too late, Gene.
Return to sender.
- Wait a minute. Listen, let me Frank !
- Shut up ! Stuff 'im in a sewer !
No, Mr. Dorgan, no sewers, not just yet.
I must confess, I'm quite
honest with you, gentlemen.
You are walked into what is called a...
Trap ?
Around you, there are federal agents.
And believe me, if you make one
wrong move, they will shoot you.
This is the FBI ! You are surrounded.
Now, stay where you
are and drop your weapon
Get in !
Come on, take off. Let's go !
Drop it ! Just drop it !
Hello, Carmack.
Welcome to the Federal witness program.
Takes the rest of my life, I'm
going to get that bastard McCall.
- Hey, what is this? This wasn't here before.
- Stop the car !
It's a bomb.
Goodbye, my friend and thank you.
Robert...
I don't know where to begin.
I'll never forget what you've done.
Godspeed.
I said a lot of things I didn't mean.
It's understandable, forget it.
We never even had a chance
to get to know each other.
Perhaps one day.
Maybe.
There is something I have to say
to you, Yvette, before you go.
It's just that you are as
brave as your mother ever was.
She was right about you.
Thanks for saving my father's life.
Come on.
I want you to know that I admire...
Admired your courage this afternoon.
Not telling Yvette that
she's your daughter was
an act of bravery.
Or cowardice.
Depending on your viewpoint.
I'm aware that an apology
after all these years is a...
It's a meaningless gesture, but...
Yes, it is.
Understand, I valued Manon's trust just
the way I valued yours for all these years.
I have something I have to give you.
She wouldn't let me
tell you about Yvette,
but have you ever found out on your own,
she wanted you to have this.
I saw her shortly before she died.
With that, she sent her love.
Thank you.
The saddest words of tongue, or pen
To know...
To know the things
that might have been...

- No, she's just doped up.
But she will be when
I'll finish with her.
Oh my God !
It wasn't me...
Where is she ?
Why didn't you tell
me who she really was ?
- What are you taling about ?
- My daughter is what I'm talking about.
- I want to bait a trap.
- So Yvette can get caught in it ?
Get away. You want to sell me to them.
That is not true.
Yvette !
Please !
Finish her off !
Last week on The Equalizer.
- You gonna get to see your father die.
- Papa !
Save your strength.
He can't hear you,
he can't see you.
No !
Say goodbye to your father, Yvette.
Papa !
That's what we call a dry run.
Now, unless you do exactly
what I ask 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.
God help me.
- Who's she ?
- She's Manon daughter.
That's why I called you.
Damn you !
You don't know who I am.
But I know who you are.
I was a friend of your mother's.
Were you in love with her?
I had to bail out five
of my men this morning, Frank.
It spread all over the front page.
*** indictments handed down.
If Chrysalis keeps talking,
we're all lined up in prison.
I told you he'll be dead in 24 hours.
We'll give you 24 hours.
But after that,
the clock stops.
In 24 hours, it's
Chrysalis or it's you.
Who the hell are you ?
I'm a businessman.
I've been hired to
protect the Marcels.
But I will deliver the girl to you,
for a price.
There's something you should know.
It's a...
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.
Call Carmack.
Tell him we're going to move on the girl.
Mickey !
No !
No !
- Let me go !
- Move it !
- Move it !
- Let me go !
She's Manon's daughther.
That's why i called you.
Where you in love with her?
Yvette, I'm going to get you
and your father out of this.
Come back to years.
... that young woman you're trying to save
is part of you.
Yvette is your daughter.
McCall !
And now the conclusion
of memories of Manon.
48 hours, Yvette ! 48 hours !
Yvette ! Yvette, come to me !
I will help you.
You go to Manon.
Manon will help you.
Help me !
Good morning.
You slept your time away.
I gave you 48 hours to get me the identity of
Chrysalis, and you just slept it away, Yvette.
You drugged me.
I give her a simple little
job to do and she fails.
Now, you know something ?
From now on, I'm going to have
to put you on a tighter rope.
You understand what I'm saying ?
And we're going to do the job together.
- Look, I did the best I could.
- Your best wasn't good enough, was it?
Hey, if you're not happy with, work with
someone else. They gave her 48 hours.
It wasn't up yet.
I can't help if they don't
play by their own rules.
You saw what happened.
I'm lucky to be alive.
- You were supposed to protect her.
- I don't need this.
First I get shot in the back,
then you dump a lot of grief on me.
You can stick him, McCall.
Count me out.
I'm sorry.
I appreciate what you did.
The hell's the matter with you ?
Never seen you act like this before.
The girl is my daughter.
I only discovered it this morning.
What are we standing here for?
That's right.
We'll talk to the dealers.
You can get a list of names.
Send it up by courier.
Good morning !
Hey, it's about time you got here.
We just got this under a SWAT
team out to get you out of bed.
Sorry, I was delayed.
- Meet with Chrysalis ?
- Last night.
- Well ?
- Took the questions.
What about the answers?
I've got a DA in Washington
It's hard to get out of indictments
and your man is the one
who got the answer...
He's operating at high risk,
you know that.
You just have to wait.
I ..
I got some bad news this morning.
I'll have to go to Quebec.
Why?
Something personal.
I...
I just found out about it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- Is there anything we can do to help?
- No.
I don't mean to be insensitive, Philip, but
do you have any idea when you're coming back?
I don't know.
Maybe a couple of weeks.
Two weeks?
There's some things up
there I have to handle.
Chrysalis is your contact.
We can't do anything without you.
I know that.
And I'm sorry, but
there's nothing I can do.
Waiting for a phone call.
When it comes, I'm gone.
Good shooting.
Now, put it down !
I told you that I would give
you Yvette Marcel for $100.000.
I told you that I would do it
in my own time and in my own way.
And I told you not to touch her
until the exchange had taken place.
You have broken our agreement.
I haven't !
Colleague, I think Mr Carmack should
go a little closer to the targets.
Out !
Move!
I kept our bargain,
you gotta believe me.
Move !
Downrange.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Stand up straight and
smile for the camera.
Do it or I'll blow you away.
You can't do this.
That's what everyone thinks.
The target is ready.
It wasn't me.
I didn't do a thing to her.
I swear it !
It was Dorgan !
Dorgan...
He pulled her in.
Where is she?
I don't know where she is.
Keep it up or your memory
lapse will be permanent way.
All right.
Wait, wait, wait ! All right !
Wait !
Dorgan, he took her to a
boiler room or something.
Is he going to kill her ?
No, no, no.
He wouldn't do that.
She's all he got.
Killing her will bring down too much heat.
Where's the boiler room ?
You can't go there.
It's a secret place.
You would figure out ***.
Where is it ?
You're gonna have to kill him.
You understand that ?
Where is it ?
All right, all right, all right !
It's in the South Bronx.
An abandoned factory
at President Franklin.
It's on the southeast corner.
I'll get $100.000.
And this time, wait 'till I telephone you.
McCall !
Oh, my God !
Robert !
Where is she ?
She hasn't been in the
room for over three hours.
Where is she ?
Frank Dorgan's got her.
What are you t... ?
What ?
Kostmayer got caught in a trap.
And how could you... ?
What are you doing about it ?
Everything possible.
I should never have
trusted anybody with this.
I should have done myself.
Why didn't you tell
me who she really was ?
What are you talking about ?
My daughter is what I'm talking about.
Oh, my God !
He told you.
You have known from the
very beginning, haven't you ?
From the moment she was born, you knew.
You've known, haven't you ?
Yes.
For years and years of deceit.
That's all you can say, is it? Yes ?
Robert, there was a reason Manon
made me swear never to tell you.
- After all these years...
- do you think I was doing it out of spite ?
Do you think I wanted to ?
That's why... that's why
she's my Goddaughter,
because I knew she was your child.
Is that why you assigned
me all over the world ?
- But never once back to France ?
- No, no, no, no !
You will not leave that
on me, Robert McCall. No !
You never went back because
you were afraid to go back.
That is a damn lie !
Listen, old son, you'd better start
remembering things the way they really were,
you know that?
- I loved her and I wanted to marry her.
- But you didn't.
You were just like me, too
busy conquering the world.
One more chance at the brass ring.
One more assignment, huh?
I didn't marry her
because she didn't wait.
She waited, Robert.
She waited for over a year.
Then she lost hope.
Look, she didn't want
me to tell you because...
Because she didn't want you back
out of some kind of obligation.
She wanted you back out of love.
Wait, where you going ?
Look, I gave you this assignment.
I want to be involved.
- So what's next?
- I don't know what's next.
- Well, we gotta need something.
- You think I don't know that ?
I don't know. It's the first time in my
life I can't put the pieces together.
What do you mean ?
I've always been able to
compartmentalise everything.
Now when the walls are down,
I don't know anymore
either to be a cold professional,
concentrating only on the
infinite details of the job in hand
and still feel what I'm feeling inside.
Before you knew who
she was, you had a plan.
Yes.
- You believe in it ?
- Yes ! Yes, I believe that.
Yes.
Well, then you have to
follow through completely.
You told me something once
that I've never forgotten.
You said the most powerful man you ever
knew had an iron will and a broken heart.
Did I said that ?
I was really drunk at the time.
You were.
You also said that man was your father.
Yeah.
Come on.
Let's get into position at the hotel.
- What are we gonna do ?
- Carry out the plan, what else ?
Damn it !
You said you're protect her.
Why didn't I listen ?
Why didn't I just take her home ?
They would have hunted
you down wherever you went.
The only way to deal
with this is here and now.
I'm calling the police.
Normally, that would be a very wise
decision, but not in this particular instance.
We have to keep this totally secret,
otherwise Yvette will die.
Has it occurred to you
she may be dead already ?
No !
No, Frank Morgan is
a very practical man.
He hasn't yet got what he wants.
What he wants is the
identity of Chrysalis.
And at the moment, he still thinks that
Yvette is the only card he has left to play.
I want to bait a trap.
So Yvette can get caught in it ?
You guarantee her safety ?
- I can't guarantee anything.
- That's right, you can't.
I know all about you.
The big gambler willing to risk
anyone on one throw of the dice.
You know very little about me.
I only risk everything on one throw,
when I only have one throw left to risk.
Is that why everyone around you dies ?
- Manon told me this.
- She told you what?
That you were burned out.
All you can feel it was danger.
Is that what she thought ?
Well, she was wrong, wasn't she ?
Because I walked away
from it just as she did.
Do you think so ?
This life you've created,
that's all you've got left.
Now Yvette's caught up in it too.
What are you trying to prove ?
You know,McCall...
You know why I think...
... Manon never really got over you.
You ever get married, McCall ?
Yes.
It finished a long time ago.
Children ?
- A son.
- No daughter?
There's one daughter.
She died when she was very young.
I want to say, but I think you
have brought up Yvette beautifully.
Far better than I could ever have done.
But then I didn't learn the art of
fatherhood until it was far, far too late.
She doesn't know that I'm not...
What... What if she does ?
How can you know something like that ?
Robert, what are we going to do?
How can I save her ?
I want to talk to some of your people.
I have a feeling that Frank Dorgan's
next target is going to be one of them.
Hey, Gene !
Frank, how you doing ?
Good.
- Beat it !
- Go.
What are you doing?
You know, just looking.
Where you been ?
I've been...
I've been running around.
Yeah, I know.
I've been looking all over
for you at the club, you know.
Oh, sorry.
I left earlier today.
You did, huh ?
You know, I gotta tell you,
something's bothering, Gene.
I want to talk to you
about it, you know ?
I mean, I'm turning
the city upside down.
I'm looking for this
guy, Chrysalis, you know ?
And here you are at the club,
shooting guns, in the park,
running around with broads.
- No !
- Yeah, yeah.
No, Frank. Now. the reason
why I was at the club...
I was waiting for this guy, Ernie ***
He was supposed to report it.
Why are you wasting time
with that garbage for ?
Frank, I don't know what else to do.
I pulled in half the guys in Manhattan.
Nobody knows anything.
Because they're all waiting for
me to fall, Gene, just like you.
- You're waiting for me to fall to.
- How can say that to me ?
I've been with you for 20 years.
We are in this thing together.
Yeah, and I'm going to guarantee
that we're in it together.
You see, those coppers gave me
24 hours to bring this guy in.
Well, I'm gonna give you 23.
And then when they come to blow me away, I'm
gonna be standing on your dead body, Gene !
What do you want to do ?
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
grab a federal agent.
His name is Blanchard.
He's a top banana.
The head of the whole operation.
What I want you to do, Gene,
is, you to call Ernie,
and I want you to get me a taxi.
Fake plates, no tracing.
- Okay ?
- Yeah.
Atta boy.
Where's the girl ?
Is she dead ?
No, she's just doped up.
But she will be when I finish with her.
Here's the cab.
Now you make the call.
Come on, come on, make the call !
Tell them you're going to be in a taxi in
front of the building to meet you there.
And nothing else.
Blanchard.
I've got Yvette Marcel on
the line, Mr. Blanchard.
She'd like to speak with you privately.
Put her through.
It's her.
McCall was right.
It looks like I'm the target.
- Hello, Ybette.
- Mr Blanchard,
is my father anywhere around ?
Yes.
Do you want to talk to him ?
No.
I need to talk to you.
I have to see you.
Can you meet me downstairs ?
Sure.
I'll be in a taxi in
front of the building.
I was just going home.
Why don't we go for a drink ?
I'd like that very much.
I'll be right there.
That was very good.
What she said ?
She wants to meet me
downstairs in five minutes.
Why don't we just take her out of here ?
If we did that, Dorgan get away and
then you put a contract out on both of you.
McCall's plan is a good one.
Why don't we just get on with it ?
Yeah.
Okay, McCall. In the mail truck.
All right. Thank you. Stand by, Mickey.
Yeah ?
Got away. McCall.
The interception is ready.
Stage two is in place on
location at the school.
That was McCall.
Stage two in place.
Good.
Now all we have to do is
get on with stage one.
Pull out Yvette without
Dorgan knowing it.
Yvette, how are you?
Get in.
- What?
- I said, get in or you're dead.
I'm sorry, Mr Blanchard.
They made me do it.
They're moving, McCall.
Here I go.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Get this thing out of here !
Come on, move it !
Hey !
You got something we want !
The identity of Chrysalis.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where the hell is Dorgan ?
He should have been here by now.
Something's wrong.
I got that feeling.
- Give me this briefcase !
- Forget that !
Let's kill him and get out of here.
Money.
It's got Carmack's name on it.
Up against the wall, Crawford !
The hell are you doing ?
I'm sorry, pal.
You know too much.
I'm trying up loose ends.
Mr. Slackman has been employed by Chrysalis
to kill anyone who discovers his identity.
Thank you very much, Mr Blanchard.
Your car is awaiting you.
Thanks, Mr McCall.
Come on, you. You drive.
Not you, Mr Slackman.
I have a little job for you.
You're going to see Mr Dorgan.
And you're going to tell him
that there's been an ambush.
And that Crawford and
Blanchard are both dead,
but that the identity of
Chrysalis is still unknown.
What are you doing?
He'll keep following us.
Be quiet.
Just be quiet.
Then you're going to see Mr Carmack and
you're gonna give him the following message.
As far as I'm concerned,
the deal is still on.
As far as I'm concerned,
it is still cash on delivery.
That I will see him in approximately an hour.
And will he please stop
playing stupid games.
Why wait ?
Why don't we kill her now
and save a lot of trouble ?
We'll do it my way.
Get out of here.
Go, get the hell out! Now ! Move !
All right, Come on, Yvette.
Let's go back to your hotel.
Get away from me !
You're one of them.
I'm not... I'm working with your father.
Come on. Let's go back
to the hotel. Please.
- I don't believe you !
- Yvette ! Yvette...
I'm trying to set a trap.
I can't explain it now.
Come on, let's get back to the hotel.
- Get away from me !
- Yvette !
Come on !
Please.
I'm not gonna huty you.
How could I hurt you?
I'm not going to hurt you.
- Come on.
- Get away!
Yvette...
I'll kill you.
You want to sell me to them?
That's not true.
That's why you didn't
want me to tell my father.
You were setting up your deal.
Yvette, please.
Please !
Yvette !
Please !
Kostmayer.
- Mickey...
- Hey, McCall. What's up ?
There's a problem.
Yvette, she's uhh...
She's going away.
I think she's on her
way back to the hotel.
What do you mean ?
You better meet me there.
Don't try to confront her directly.
She's armed.
What ?
- And she thinks I'm the enemy.
- See you there, Mccall.
Look what we have here !
Just who I was looking for.
What is that ?
She's got a gun. Finish her.
I'll give you what you want.
Chrysalis is Gene Carmack.
- Where do you hear that name ?
- From Blanchard, this afternoon.
- Blanchard is dead.
- No, he isn't. He's alive.
It was a trick.
They planted the name.
Now wait a minute !
She's telling the truth.
It was Slackman who lied to me.
They're working together.
Oh, you did very good, Yvette.
You did very good.
Should I kill her ?
Not now.
- Yvette !
- Father !
You're all right now.
Yeah, You get your men and
meet me over a Gene Carmack's.
You got it. It's him.
Would you believe it?
Okay.
You got it ready ?
Yeah. The time iss set
- To bad about Marcel and Yvette, huh ?
Just not too much.
Put them right in here.
Mr Carmack, Robert McCall.
Are you ready to
complete our transaction ?
Where and when ?
Leave your house in 2 minutes.
Go to the school in the corner of
Jackson and Tremont and wait for me.
Bring the cash.
Open the trunk ! Open the trunk !
- Mr McCall...
- Stay in the car. I'll talk to you later.
Take them to where I told
you alright ? Go, go, go, go !
- Can you delay the timer?
- Kindergarten stuff.
One handed can handle it.
Come on ! Let's go !
Upstairs. Check upstairs.
Gene ! Carmack ! Get out here !
Who the hell are you ?
It's and excellent Scotch.
You have some ?
- Where's Gene Carmack ?
- Somewhere quite safe.
- Winston !
- I wouldn't do that if I were you.
You're highly unintelligent thing
to do until you found out who I am
and what I have to offer.
Well, you better talk fast.
Name, Robert McCall, occupation,
federal agent. That fast enough for you ?
I was a terrible shock to you,
but the girl you know as Yvette
Marcel is really an undercover agent.
Really ?
And I'm the King of Siam.
We've been playing you like a puppet.
Every move you make.
Skaters in the park, the
mailman that blocked your car.
I've been tracking you, Mr Dorgan, ever
since you took the bait at the museum.
What do you want ?
To give you a Gene Carmack,
and as a sign of our good faith,
to promise you that all
investigation of criminal activity
on the Eastern seaboard will cease,
or where it concerns you, of course.
Of course.
How much is this going to cost me ?
$500,000 + 1% of the gross
turnover, paid to me each week
for three years.
You don't want much, do you ?
Not much, considering
you have no alternative.
Very shortly, Mr Carmack is going
to enter the federal witness program,
and then where will
your new residence be ?
Penetentiary.
Look, I don't carry around a
half $1,000,000 in my pocket.
No, no, of course you don't.
But I'm sure you're good for it.
Do we have a deal ?
Yes.
Good.
Why don't I take you
to see Mr Carmack now?
We won't go in your limousine.
He's very tense.
We don't want to
frighten him away, do we?
Are you coming?
Carmack's not here.
Where is he ?
I didn't expect you to be
sitting on the curb, did you ?
Get your man into position.
McCall, don't even think about it.
McCall !
Why are you alone ?
You deliver your side of the
bargain, then I'll deliver mine.
You must think I'm a fool, McCall.
Mr Carmack, patience
is not one of my virtues.
Now get on with it, or the deal's off.
All right !
But you remember,
I've got men covering
every move you make.
I'm sure you do, Mr Carmack.
Where's the woman ?
Open it.
All right, Mr Dorgan !
Damn you !
Shoot... Somebody shoot them !
It's too late, Gene.
Return to sender.
- Wait a minute. Listen, let me Frank !
- Shut up ! Stuff 'im in a sewer !
No, Mr. Dorgan, no sewers, not just yet.
I must confess, I'm quite
honest with you, gentlemen.
You are walked into what is called a...
Trap ?
Around you, there are federal agents.
And believe me, if you make one
wrong move, they will shoot you.
This is the FBI ! You are surrounded.
Now, stay where you
are and drop your weapon
Get in !
Come on, take off. Let's go !
Drop it ! Just drop it !
Hello, Carmack.
Welcome to the Federal witness program.
Takes the rest of my life, I'm
going to get that bastard McCall.
- Hey, what is this? This wasn't here before.
- Stop the car !
It's a bomb.
Goodbye, my friend and thank you.
Robert...
I don't know where to begin.
I'll never forget what you've done.
Godspeed.
I said a lot of things I didn't mean.
It's understandable, forget it.
We never even had a chance
to get to know each other.
Perhaps one day.
Maybe.
There is something I have to say
to you, Yvette, before you go.
It's just that you are as
brave as your mother ever was.
She was right about you.
Thanks for saving my father's life.
Come on.
I want you to know that I admire...
Admired your courage this afternoon.
Not telling Yvette that
she's your daughter was
an act of bravery.
Or cowardice.
Depending on your viewpoint.
I'm aware that an apology
after all these years is a...
It's a meaningless gesture, but...
Yes, it is.
Understand, I valued Manon's trust just
the way I valued yours for all these years.
I have something I have to give you.
She wouldn't let me
tell you about Yvette,
but have you ever found out on your own,
she wanted you to have this.
I saw her shortly before she died.
With that, she sent her love.
Thank you.
The saddest words of tongue, or pen
To know...
To know the things
that might have been...
