The Equalizer (1985–1989): Season 3, Episode 2 - Blood & Wine: Part 2 - full transcript

Good evening, New York Times.
This is Alpha.

I have no idea what he looks like.

This bastard is killing
people laughing as.

Terror has come to America.

We got to stick together
and we got to work together.

Loeber !

My daughter is in danger.

Go to the window !

Oh my God !

Oh my God !

Come on, Standish, don't try to con me.



I know more about the
man Heiden then you do.

He is not a monk.

He's a terrorist and he's a killer.

Listen to me, McCall,
whatever Joseph Heiden was,

is in the past.

That's the way
it's going to stay.

Oh, I see, I see.

So know you have a
statute to limitations

on the killing of women
and children, is that it ?

I don't have to explain to you.

I called you in here to help
with this investigation.

Certainly not to tell me
how to run my business.

I don't believe the two of you
you've been formally introduced.

Joseph Heiden.



Robert McCall.

It's a pleasure.

Let's get on with it, shall we ?

I've just gotten
the forensic report.

Remains of two bodies were in the
car: agent Barnes, Martin Loeber.

That's a impossible.

Come on, Frank, he died too easily,
you know that as well as I do.

If he really wanted to get away,

he would have killed everyone.

Especially McCall.

Robert, you were on the scene.
What do you think ?

Yes, the hole thing
could have been staged.

It's the most convenient, is it not,

the body was burned
beyond recognition.

Let's just look at the evidence.

The bone fragments match
Loeber's height and weight.

The dental report goes one
for one with Interpol's records.

So, according to the Bureau
and the police department,

this case is closed, is that it ?

Yes.

The task force has been reassigned.

Loeber's death will be
announced at the media.

Just like clockwork.

And there's nothing
we can do about it.

Damn it, how could
anyone fake all this ?

It can be done.

*** careful planning.

McCall, we are talking
about fillings in teeth.

I said careful planning.

It's long and it's difficult.

And it require one hell of
an organization behind you.

But it has been done.

First thing you have to
do is to locate the victim.

Same kind of body mass,
hair color as yourself.

A man he's taken, killed.

You bringing a specialist to
match his dental work with yours.

Then comes the most difficult
part of all because then his X-rays

have to be inserted under your
name in the master file in Interpol.

You then incinerate the body
and when you are ready,

you'll leave the ashes and the
bits and pieces in the fiery wreck.

I'll never be able to sell
that to the boys upstairs.

They'll put me in a straitjacket.

But you do believe it
could be true, don't you ?

No, I do not believe it could be true.

Then... Where's your family ?

I sent them on a trip to California

They'll leave this afternoon.

Well...

If he is alive, we'll
soon know it, won't we ?

I would suggest to you that you
drop a list of potential targets.

He is alive, I can feel it.

And even if nobody else believes us,

we've gotta stick together.

And we've got to work together.

I'm sorry, you are wrong, "father".

I won't work with you.

Listen to what I say to you.

You could be in great danger

and all I want to do is to take
you somewhere where you'll be safe.

We are not certain
that this man is dead.

And if he is alive,
he will be back here.

He's dead. Everybody's dead.

So, you can't stay here alone.

Oh, yes I can.

And I'm going to.

I don't want your help, Mr. McCall.
I just want you...

I just want to be left alone.

I'm fine, just as long as
I don't have to speak to people.

So, will you just please leave ?

I said, please leave !

- Didn't go so well, huh ?
- No.

You want me to keep up surveillance ?

She won't accept any help.

Yes, Mickey, just keep
watching her, will you ?

What are you gonna do ?

I'm gonna look for a dentist
and a crematorium.

May I help you ?

Is this the special affairs coordinator ?

Yes it is.

This is brother Heiden.

I was told that I can get a list of major
events taking place on the archdiocese.

For the month of September ?

Yes.

Do you want it for all the city ?

No, no, Manhattan.

Well, of course...

*** for a dollar !

*** and win a prize !

Excuse me, sister, can you tell me
there's a festival itself end with a mess ?

Yes, it does.

*** coming all the way
from Rome to celebrate it.

He's a wonderful man.

He works for the blind
and he's blind himself.

No kidding ?

Would this be the first time
he'll be in this country ?

I believe so.
Are you gonna come ?

Oh, I don't know. I guess that
all depends on God's will.

Here, please.

Thank you.

Hold it there, Harris !

Don't turn around !

Did you bring it ?

Keep it sealed 'till you're ready.

How long this it take ?

Depending on body size,
between thirty minutes and an hour.

And the quantity of this ?

I have no idea.
It's enough for thousands.

Very good.

- Harris !
- Yeah ?

I want you to get
me something else.

What you need ?

Somebody to fit me
for a new pair of eyes.

That's very difficult,

but, perhaps, there is a source.

Excuse me, sister.

I'm looking for the
religious guesthouse.

I was told it's a kind
of a priest quarters.

It's just around the corner,
behind the church.

Thank you.

Father D. D. S.

That appear to be the dentist.

*** little works...

Son, can you tell me when
this fire took place ?

Last night.
Two guys got killed in it.

What kind of metal work
that they do here, you know ?

I think they use big furnaces
to melt the whole iron.

Something like that.

That would make an
ideal crematorium.

What did you say, mister ?

Oh, nothing.

Thank you.

If you got an appointment, then you are ***

Can you tell me where
I can find Dr. Farber ?

I got an appointment with him now.

He skipped time last night.
I heard him ***

Really ?

Strange !

Yeah, well what's strange

is why anybody would let that man
put his fingers in their mouth.

Thank you for your help.

Obviously he doesn't want to kill yet.

He would prove he's alive.

He'd rather play with us a while.

Did you informed Standish ?

I don't think he believe me either.

And you think I would ?

I don't trust you anymore
then I trust Loeber.

I know that.

You know,

doesn't fool me all this
religious trappings,

because I know you for
what you really are.

A mass killer who somehow
gotten away with it.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Oh yes ?

And what is that to say ?

I know a hell lot about you.

I know more about you
then I know about myself.

Liaison man,

ideas man,

setup man,

for most of the terrorist brigades
throughout the whole of Europe.

I tell you something really ironic.

It was, what ? Five years ago.

A little group of men and myself
were sent out for one purpose:

hunt you down and kill you.

I was within a hair's
breadth of doing just that,

when suddenly we have one
of those calls from the Agency:

Mission aborted.

So I came back home.

And it was around about that time

that you met Loeber.

He became your protege.

Well, you trained him very well.

You believe in God, McCall ?

I make it a point not to talk about
religion or politics to strangers.

I'll tell you one
thing I do believe in.

I believe in justice,

of in this world and in the next.

Would you, please,
listen to me, McCall ?

It started in London.

I destroyed an office building and
there was death everywhere,

but that's what I wanted.

And as I stood watching the chaos,

suddenly a strange feeling...

A terrible fear that
somebody was watching me.

And I turned around I saw
a man not fifty feet away.

He was looking
straight into my eyes.

I've never seen him
before my life, McCall.

Never.

Yet, he knew who I was,

and exactly what I have done.

I think it was beyond words,

coming from this sorrow.

This incredible sorrow, and I...

I reach for gun and
then when I look...

He wasn't there.

Yeah.

Well, guilt does strange
things to people, doesn't it ?

No, no, no, no, I tried that explanation.

I tried them all
and nothing worth.

And from that first time,

it started a chain of horror.

I mean every assignment I carried out.

I mean,***,

of all of Europe, he was there.

Each time, he'd be two feet
closer to where I stood.

Each time,

greatest sadness and desires.

It seems that,

every time an act of violence he ***
nearer to me and I couldn't stop him,

no matter how hard I try.

The last time was in Paris.

I destroyed a railway terminal.

The flame,

it was Hell itself.

I turned around
expecting to see him but he,

he wasn't there.

It was wonderful. I... I felt free.

Then when I looked
into the terminal again,

he was walking in flames.

I mean no human
being could have stood it.

He started walking towards me
any he had a man's body in his arms.

I tried to run but
I couldn't move.

He kept coming toward me

until we were face to face
and I looked up and

he had tears in his eyes.

I looked down at
the burn body and...

It was me, McCall.

So, you gave yourself up.
Went to prison.

A French *** to deal with some of the
other agencies including the FBI,

you were released
and went to work for them.

So much for your history.
Now let me tell you are just a little of mine.

Six months after that
mission was aborted,

they sent another team up

to finish the job that I started.

Amongst the team was a
young brilliant agent.

He was faced with a choice.

Because you seem he was also in
that railway terminal in Paris.

His choice was whether to
go after you and kill you,

or to go into your bloody flames
and rescue some of your victims.

He chose the latter. He died.

You want another piece of irony ?

That young man was my godson.

I hope he went to Heaven.

But don't you talk to
me about meeting God.

Linda, wake up !

It's me.

God !

Linda, please, help me !

I don't want to die !

Please !

Please !

McCall, why do you sneak up on me like that ?
I almost blew you way.

Eyes' getting heavy ?

You're supposed to
relieve me an hour ago.

Yes, I know.

Sorry, something came up.

Any activity ?

She went to bed at ten o'clock,
just like I should have.

And that light gone
on before this evening ?

No, first time.

Linda, please, listen
to what I have to say,

then you can do whatever you want

and I will not try to stop you.

You killed my mother.

You killed her and then you
tried to kill Mrs. Standish.

That's a lie !
There are all lies !

They've told you lies
and you believe them.

You lied too.

Linda, I didn't kill your mother.

I didn't kill anybody, I swear it.

Why they're after you ?

My name is Martin Loeber.

Until six months ago I was an
engineer for Marco Chemicals.

That's a huge defense contractor.

I stumbled across something
that nobody wanted me to see.

Huge stockpiles of chemical
weapons, thousands of balance of it,

enough to wipe out all cities.

What happened ?

They found out I was going to
go public and they came after me.

Linda, they took everything.

They took everything.

My wife, my son, everything.

You had a family ?
Why didn't to tell me ?

Because they're all dead.

Killed in an accident,
just like your mother.

Murdered by that bastard, McCall.

McCall is a professional killer
hired by the government.

Oh God !

When I saw him with
your mother I was terrified !

Linda,

the only reason you're alive

is that because McCall
knows that I love you.

You are the bait in his trap.

Mrs. Standish, the
children, you terrified them.

I... I didn't mean to hurt them.

I didn't know what else to do.

They said you tied her to a bomb.

That is a terrible lie.

Have you spoken to her ?

Now, they went out of the city.

Can't you see what McCall is doing ?

I don't know what to believe.

He said you used me to
get to Frank Standish.

Think, Linda !

Why would I do that ?

I was in Europe with you.

I don't know anything
about a Frank Standish.

But I know McCall
and who knows me.

He is trying to kill me

because then all the evidence
that I have will be gone.

There's a way for me to prove
that what I am saying is true.

McCall has somebody watching
every move that I make.

No, that's impossible.

He's outside now.

I'll put everything
in your hands, Linda.

Let's go to the window.

Go to the window !

Look out the window.

Do you see him ?

There, in the shadow.

Yes.

Yes, I do.
What are we going to do ?

You do what he doesn't expect.

Open the window,

act like he's a Peeping Tom
and you're going to call the police.

I see you down there !

Stop looking in my window or
I'm gonna call the police !

I think we blew it.

No we didn't.

No ?

He's up there.

Can't you feel it ?

Look, McCall, if he was up there,
she'd be screaming for help, wouldn't she ?

That man Loeber can play that
girl like a puppet on the string.

If that's what you feel about
it, let's go take the place apart.

We can't do that, can't we ?

- The guy could be killing her.
- Yeah.

Or perhaps he's trying to entice us
in there and then he'll kill her.

We don't know anything, do we ?

I mean for all we know,

we could have some crazy lady who likes to
turn the lights on the middle of the night.

I mean, McCall, this is nuts.

She doesn't even want our help.

- Let's just walk away.
- No !

We can't do that, you see.

Because I let the mother die.
Damn if I let the daughter die as well.

Come on, let's go.

Strange place for a meeting.

This is the place where
he's going to strike.

This festival ?

I call the archdiocese.

This is the only major
religious event in town.

There are plenty of other
targets of opportunity.

I drawn up a list.

Maybe it's because I have
created so much violence in my life

that I can feel when violence is coming.

It's going to come here, Frank.

You have no other evidence, Joseph ?
That's it ? Just a feeling ?

No.

What else ?

You wouldn't believe me.

Please, Joseph, try me.

When I was praying,

I knew this would be the place.

It's all right.

I thought you are leaving forever.

Are you sure you want to do this ?

Because you know, anywhere
you go with me, you'll be in danger.

I don't care, we'll be together.
I got some money set aside.

We can use it to get away.

All right. Now listen what you do.
You go to the schoolhouse,

you wait for me there at five o'clock.

Now, remember, you're going to be followed
but you pretend you don't know that.

Are you gonna stay here ?

No, I have something I have to do.

Now when you leave,
you'll go out the front door.

I have a way to get
up to the basement.

Alright ?

Be careful.

I have a very disturbing news this morning.
A small bottle of VX Nerve agent

Stolen from the government laboratory..

- I think it's in the city.
- Really ? What form ?

It's not a gas.

It's in a hybrid form, tiny crystals that
can be absorbed through the skin or,

dissolved ***

And how many people
do you think that could kill ?

Many thousand, depending
on the applications.

It's meant to be dropped on
enemy crops from aircraft.

Oh my God !

So of course it could quite simply be
dumped in the city water supply, right ?

Yes, that's right.

That's why hours as they only government
agency handling it at the moment.

If that became public
knowledge, it would mean chaos.

Tell me something.
Why do you chose to tell me this ?

Well, I though you'd may
be interested, Robert.

Control, you're telling
me that you think

Loeber has got his hands on this stuff ?

No, I didn't say anything in the kind.
Assumptions are your department.

I'll tell you this.

I hope we're not working
on the same project, Robert.

Contact Joseph Heiden.
Tell him I want to see him tonight.

By time I sent him
back to the monastery.

Your friend sent you to the right place.

That hurt.

A professional acting like
you could go away for a few hours.

Can you see okay ?

Yes, that's fine.

How much does all this cost fitted ?

That's good ! It's good that you can see.

The second question is
how's your hearing ?

What does that sound like ?

Now reach in to your coat real slow
and hand me the gun.

Good.

I know who you are.

I have few money problems.

I need a hundred thousand
dollars and now I know how to get it.

I'm gonna turn you over
to Robert McCall, okay ?

May I show you something ?

Nice and easy.

It's twenty five thousand
dollars worth.

Take them.
They're yours.

For me ?

It's very nice, but you shouldn't have.

- I have much more.
- How much more ?

I have at least one hundred
thousand in diamonds alone.

I'm very well financed.

Well then let's go
get them right now.

Oh, not quite yet.

I want to see you
kill Robert McCall.

McCall.

McCall, it's Bagler.

Where the hell have you been ?
I've been trying to reach you.

Listen, I've got to
see you right away.

Bagler, I am very busy.

It's about the guy you've
been looking for.

The professional hitter.

Listen, I've got some
information you might want.

Come on, what is it ?

Oh, I see.

You want me to come somewhere
and bring my checkbook, is that it ?

Oh, no, no, it's okay.
Cash will do.

Yes, I'm sure it will do.

Where ?

The warehouse between 117th
and 118th of the river.

Twenty minutes.

Alright, I'll be there.

Let's go get my diamonds.

Robert !

Got a surprise for you !

You, come out here !

It's the guy you are looking for ?
The one in the picture ?

Where did you find him ?

You know, he made a mistake.

He came to me looking
for pair of fake eyes.

Alright, let's get him outside.

Call the police.

Not so fast, Robert.

You want money ?

Not from you.

I want you to reach inside your coat.

Take out your gun and
place it on the floor.

You what ?

I said reach inside your coat,

take out to your gun and
place it on the floor !

And do it, real slowly.

That's fine now.

Now raise your arms and walk towards me.

Sorry, Robert. Duly financial.

I have big money problems.

This guy's going to give me
one hundred thousand dollars,

just to blow you away.

Just like you blew away that poor
bastard the other day hanging by the rope.

Think about that, Robert.
But don't think to long.

Kept my side of the
bargain, now you keep yours.

Let's go get the diamonds.

Okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay !

Alright. It's all the way in the bag.

Come along ***. Back off !

Okay.
Up !

Here we go.

Loeber !

My car !

Damn your, Bagler !

Come on, McCall !
I could have used real bullets.

I should have let them kill you
the other day in the warehouse.

Stay the hell out of my sight.

*** me, we're out for lunch.

I want Frank Standish.

Robert McCall.
It's urgent.

Sorry, Mr. McCall,
he's not available.

Well, find him.

Mr. McCall *** Mr. Standish is in
the hospital in critical condition.

Is what ?

Someone poisoned him.

How ?

They put a razor blade on
the door handle of his car.

Oh God !

He's mad. Loeber's stark raving mad.

Hello, New York !
This is Alpha.

You can't kill me because
you're addicted to the fear.

And I'm your biggest source of your supply.

So I'm going to give what you need.

Something so terrifying that will
be dreaming about it for years.

Tonight, in the name of the oppressed
people of the world, thousand of you will die.

Damn it, Mickey ! Where are you ?

Ms. Thomas ?

Linda !

Ms. Thomas !

Yes ?

Did I guess right ?
Is this Robert McCall ?

Loeber !

You are so damn predictable,
but I like you.

So I'm going to
give you a chance.

If you are really as
good as I think you are,

you might be able to save
your friend and the bitch.

So get in to your car and drive to
the corner of Prince and Sullivan

and wait in the telephone booth.

You'll have exactly twenty minutes
after I call you there.

And, enjoy the festival.

It will be the last one,
I'm afraid, you will ever see.

Keep both of your hands on the wheel.

Now, take out your
gun and give it to me.

Just leave him here !
We'll go to the airport.

*** you are really stupid.

Don't do that !

You know,

you're absolutely right.

Why should a man be punished
for speaking the truth ?

What ?

You know, I've know a lot of stupid women
in my time, but never anyone quite like you.

You made the same
critical mistake twice !

I don't understand.

McCall tried to warn you
but you wouldn't listen.

This jerk as a killer.

Be honest.

From one professional to another,
this woman has been the cause of death.

Can you think of anybody that
deserves to die more than she does ?

Yeah, you bloodsuckers !

We're going to go to the car.

Let's go, my lovely !

I'm here.

Hello ! You have twenty minutes.

Where are they ?

In his bedroom, where else ?

Goodbye, McCall.

I shall miss this, I will.

Monsignor !

Hello, Joseph.

I'm sorry to interrupt your prayers.

I was expecting you.

The master marksman who taught
me how to shoot it's defenseless.

What have you done to your eyes ?

I'm...

I'm celebrating a mess.

Tonight it's the blind
leading the blind.

Or anyway, that's the idea.

You know why I'm here.

Tell me, Joseph, was
it all really worth dying for ?

The Lord's forgiveness
is always worth dying for.

Then you should receive it.

I execute you in the name of all
the oppressed people of the world.

Mickey !

Up here !

Hi, McCall !

Don't move this.

If you move this, we all land in Jersey.

Guy's a regular
Rembrandt with explosives.

Saw a wire in the same detonater,
but I don't know where it is.

*** green. Cut the green.

Cut the green...

Bless are you, Lord God of all Creation.

Through Your goodness we
have this bread to offer.

Don't look at the clock !
Don't look at the clock !

Dozens...

Dozens of connections down here.

*** in this room at all.

I heard him fooling around downstairs.

Power surge.
That could trigger it.

- Where's your fuse-box ?
- In the ***

Blessed are You, Lord God of all Creation.

Through Your goodness we
have this bread to offer.

Where is the *** ?

***
Could be anywhere in these places.

Yes, we'll give it to
the church of St. Gerard.

Hope you're right.

You stay here.

We'll be back for you soon.

Martin !

It's over !

No !

No !

No !

Loeber !

Robert...

Loeber is dead.

You saved hundreds of
people tonight, Joseph.

I knew you can't forgive
me for what I've done.

Can you forgive me
for the harm I caused you ?

Forgive...

Forgive you for the
harm you've caused me ?

Yes, yes.

Come on, lay back.
Lay Back.

Now, hold on.

Hold on now.

Help is coming.

Yes...

He's coming.

He's here.
