All language subtitles for The Equalizer s01e17 Torn

With people like Moore, that jealousy
becomes an obsession.

How's it going, kiddo? McCall, what are
you doing here?

Well, I think I've come to help the
lady.

You're here to help me?

Yes, I think so.

Guess you're not interested in getting
Brian. I haven't survived this long

without instinct.

You always get like this.

Laura's disappeared.

She's running away.

McCall, what the hell are you doing?

No joke!

Lady, you have a restraining order. You
can't come around.

What do I do, wipe a piece of paper in
his face as he gets down the door?

You don't understand. You don't know
this man. I do know him. I helped put

away.

Please, this way. They told me, and I
signed the complaint. I'd be protected.

You were, and he went to jail.

Well, what about now?

He's getting out.

That's all we can do, Mrs. Moore.

We don't have preventive detention.

We can't lock him up until he breaks the
law.

By that time, we're dead.

Is it not?

McCall, what are you doing here?

Well, I think I've come to help the
lady.

You're here to help me?

Yes, I think so.

McCall, if the lady doesn't know you,
then none of this is any of your

So to be very polite, butt out.

Isidore, I had a call.

I have a client here.

So who's the client?

Hello.

I think your name is Laura, isn't it?

Mommy, I called him.

I had to.

Daddy's coming home. I don't want him to
beat you.

Let me fill you in.

She's been married to this guy for 12
years.

He's been beating on her the whole time,
right?

Finally, she turns up at a doctor's
office. The doctor blows the whistle.

denies the charge.

And then one of those outreach groups
puts a tag on her, gives her the courage

and support to file charges.

Judge gives the guy 18 months.

He's out on Thursday, next Thursday.

At 7 o 'clock in the morning, the bell
rings and school is out for this bum.

I may need your help later.

Pardon me. If you want it, you've got
it.

Thank you.

Look, now all that husband has to do is
enter the premises, and I can bust him

again. Yeah.

Mr. McCall, I really don't understand
how you can help me.

I can try to prevent your husband
hurting you again.

No one can stop Michael Herden.

The only thing he knows.

Tell me about him.

What's to tell?

He's got a temper.

Just goes off without warning.

First place he'll be heading when he
gets out in three days is home.

Is training order or no restraining
order?

No offense, Mr. McCall, but Mike is
bigger than you and a lot younger.

Oh, believe me, I take no offense. I can
understand your reservations about me.

I think I ought to tell you that I've
had quite a lot of experience in dealing

with men like your husband.

And if he comes home, I'll be there.

Now, why don't you go back to your
apartment and let me check out a few

I'll see you there later, all right?

Your husband will never hurt you again.

Believe me.

Thank you for calling me, young lady.

Very brave thing to do.

Bye.

Why on earth would I want to meet you?
That's exactly what we've both been

looking for. A situation of mutual
advantage.

Nobody gives anything up, and nobody
loses anything. Well, probably. There is

one person, actually, who loses, but not
you and not me.

Jason, if you have a point, do come to
it. All right.

This job is a bit out of my franchise,
but a little housekeeping needs to be

done. I need a situation corrected
practically.

And you need it rectified, let's say,
emotionally.

I think I'm leaving.

Fine. Guess you're not interested in
getting Brian.

You do remember Brian, don't you?

No

jokes!

Don't you dare joke about that! with me.

I thought this might interest you.

Paul, listen to me.

Brian is coming to town.

I don't know when, but it's going to be
soon.

Why are you giving this to me?

Because I think you'll do what I need to
have done without involving me in any

way. There'll be no cost to me.

There'll be no risk to me, or to the
agency, for that matter.

That's it. That's all.

This hasn't been sanctioned, has it?

Look, McCall, why don't we just call
this a marriage of convenience, all

For me, a little upward mobility. For
you, answers to questions that have been

longstanding. And plus...

I think at the end of this, you're going
to owe me one.

I can tell how important this is to you
by the expression on your face when I

say Brian.

Why?

Why should he surface now? Why?

Money.

Money, money. Why else?

All right, who's his paymaster?

It's a woman called Veronica Whitney.
Now, that's all I have.

Okay. Now I get to find out if you live
up to your reputation. I think that's

going to be really bad.

Don't hold anything back from me.

I want this man.

Yeah, I know

Brian, where is my truck?

Hey, calm down, will you? We had some
other priorities.

But don't worry, I'm not going to leave
you hanging.

Didn't the kid tell you?

I got something for you.

You see?

He came in breathing fire for nothing.

Brian, this bus isn't sturdy enough for
my trip.

It's sturdy enough for the West Road.
General Misha controls the West Road.

anymore, chum.

Brian, if his people get hold of Angela,
our whole operation will be

jeopardized. We've been protecting her
for eight months now, dummy. You don't

think we're going to give her up now, do
you?

Oh, no.

I'll handle this engine.

Angela. Angela.

Angela.

It's an original Fran Paganar.

Beautiful. It's very attractively
priced.

Good.

As a matter of fact, I'm interested in
Rosenthal figures, and I was told that

Miss Whitney could help me.

Which Miss Whitney?

Veronica Whitney.

Oh, my mother.

She'll be back shortly. How did you hear
about her?

Oh, there's a phone you can use on the
counter, Doctor.

Thank you.

Hello? Jesse, Robert McCall.

Laura's disappeared.

She's running away.

Well, how long has she been gone?

I'll be right there.

Excuse me.

I'm Veronica Whitney.

You wanted to see me.

Yes, yes. I would very much like to talk
with you.

However, at the moment, I have an
emergency.

Oh. Well, we're open till 7 .30.

Or by appointment, if you'd care to make
one now. Or you can call me.

Here's my card.

Thank you.

Thank you. I hope to see you soon.

I walked around the block six times, all
over the neighborhood. I looked

everywhere. I can't find her. She's
gone. She's gone forever.

Stop it, Jessie.

Stay calm. You must stay calm.

Calm.

That's right.

Now, think.

Every child has a place where they go to
to feel safe.

A school, perhaps, or a friend's house.

I checked everywhere. I tried
everything.

I'm sure you did, Jessie. I'm sure you
did. But think again.

For instance...

Is there a place where she's gone to
before when you've been angry with her,

say? Hmm?

You look beautiful tonight.

Everybody will like our sports car.

They'll turn their heads, be jealous.

You have such a beautiful dress.

She never laughs, you know?

That's why I signed the complaint
against your father in the first place.

A little girl should laugh.

With him in the house, there was always
so much tension.

She was frightened all the time.

Well, we'll have to make sure that she's
never frightened again, won't we?

Why don't you go to her?

Probably get to meet a lot of them.

It'll be fun.

I'll pick you up at nine. All right.

Mom.

Now, I thought these were an automatic
hit with little girls.

Apparently not.

Laura, it's not much fun standing here
talking to myself,

you know.

Are you all right?

She didn't mean to make Mommy mad at me.

No, no, no. She wasn't mad at you. She
was just worried.

That's something that old people do, you
know. They get worried.

I have a son called Scott.

He's grown up now, but when he was about
your age, he ran away.

And his mother and I were frantic.

How did you find him?

Mr. Benedict telephoned us.

Mr. Benedict ran the soda fountain in
the local drugstore and he said that

was there.

Were you mad at him?

Oh, no, not really. We were so happy to
see him.

Mind you, he went to bed with a very bad
stomachache after eating...

Three chocolate sundaes while he was
there.

Later on that night, I asked him why
he'd run away.

And he said because he'd heard his
mother and I arguing and thought we were

arguing about him.

Were you?

No, we weren't.

Laura, we like to think that our parents
are perfect.

But they're not, you know.

They have their troubles, problems that
have nothing to do with their children

at all.

that's when they need the love of their
children most of all to get them through

their troubles.

Hey!

What's that for?

Just because.

Can Mr. McCall come home for dinner?

Do you want him to?

Yeah.

Oh, that's very kind of you. I'd like
to, but I have to meet somebody now.

Perhaps another time?

Good.

You, um, you want that?

Thought you might.

Thank you.

Most people exhibit feelings of jealousy
at one time or another in their

relationships. But with people like
Moore, that jealousy builds until it

an obsession.

An obsession that manifested itself as
violence.

Even though she insisted that there were
no other men in her life.

The more vehement her denial, the
greater his rage became.

He was convinced she was lying to him.
But she wasn't.

I know that. You know that. But Moore's
obsession wouldn't let him see that.

Has he changed much?

Or at all, since he's been inside?

I'm just his caseworker.

I'll say this for him. He's been a model
prisoner.

But he has been separated from his
whipping post for a year and a half now.

All told, I'd say he's made considerable
progress.

I think that restraining order will be
enough to keep him away from his wife.

Well, none of you are still carrying his
obsession around with him.

My name is Robert McCall.

I'm a friend of your daughter's.

My daughter hasn't come to see me the
year and a half I've been in here.

Well, she's more concerned about your
visiting her when you get out of here.

Why would I want to do that?

I've been told that one condition of my
getting out is that I keep away from

Jesse and Laura.

I don't want to come back here.

You have to believe that.

Well, just remember that when you get
up.

Next time, it's five years.

You really think I want to spend five
years in here?

Well, only you and God know that.

What the hell are you doing here?
Believe me, I don't want to be here, but

have information that you don't have,
and frankly, McCall, that disappoints

Seriously.

What have you found out, Jason? I have
found that Brian is not coming.

He's already here.

All right, so there's much more at
stake. What is it, Jason? What is it?

you're the one who's emotional about
this whole thing, not me, okay?

You know, it really bores me to have to
do your job for you, McCall, but I found

out that Brian is here to see some way.

Oh, it's not just another payday. He's
coming in to buy with him.

Yeah, whatever, whatever. Listen, I have
to share something with you.

You know, dealing with you in this whole
experience is making me suffer from

subject -object confusion.

Now, I'll explain, I'll explain. Just
let me digress for just a second here. I

was on holiday once, you know, in Texas,
and I was taking pictures, and I was

giving the photos to the 24 -hour lab
for processing, and there I was, McCall.

I was looking at these pictures, and I
was feeling nostalgic about an

that I was in the midst of having.

You see, that's what I feel is happening
between us.

Okay, you have to factor into it a
natural antagonism between us, but

because of our relative positions in
life, you know?

I'm on the elevator up, you're on the
elevator down, career -wise.

But if you just stand back and perceive
what's happening between us, it's

exhilarating, you know?

Jason, what the hell have you been
talking about?

No, it doesn't really matter. I mean,
you know, whatever it is you have been

talking about comforts you. That's fine,
fine. But can we get back to the

subject at hand, Brian?

Sure. I'll find out where and when Brian
is going to stay somewhere.

Does that make you happy?

It could take you forever to look for
where and when.

My move has to be preemptive.

Preemptive? Now, wait, wait, wait just a
second.

You wait for my call.

Don't scare the prey.

Why don't you just relax, Jason? Let me
handle it, all right?

After all, it is just a little
housekeeping job.

Remember?

This guy's holding as heavily as you say
he is. This could be a major bust for

me. I mean, one hell of a collar.

Here's the door.

I have to warn you.

There will be no second chance with this
man.

Well, anyone as well -equipped as you
say he is is bound to be...

Formidable. But listen to me, McCall.

I know your background, all right? I
know your abilities.

But this afternoon has got to go my way.

I didn't imagine it going any other way.

Mr. Drew, I could have taken this
information to a number of people and a

of places.

It is essential that this is done
correctly.

That's why I brought it to you.

Yeah, I know. Thanks.

Ah, I almost forgot.

I have some news about that Moore case.

Hmm? Well, apparently there's been
overcrowding at Metropolitan, so they're

letting him out early.

How early?

Probably tomorrow morning.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Lenny, can you switch that noise off,
please?

I'm trying to concentrate here. I've got
work to do.

I can help you, Mr. McCall.

Help?

I don't need help. Just a little peace
and quiet.

What is it that's troubling you?

A woman?

Yes, nowhere.

I suppose you're right.

A few years ago, I was, uh...

Well, the woman I was working with was
betrayed by a man.

She was taken away.

I never saw her again.

What happened to her?

I don't know.

Anyway... Why did this man do this?

Money.

And you feel responsible?

I was responsible.

And now you have a chance to avenge her.

It was a fluke.

Suerte.

Been looking for the man for years.

Now I have the opportunity to put things
right.

Mr. McCall, they say two things.

The soldiers that departed demand
justice if ever they're going to rest in

peace.

And a man who seeks vengeance should dig
two graves.

Yes, yes, I know, I've heard it, I've
heard it.

Anyway, something I have to do.

Can I get you another cup of tea?

No, no, no.

I haven't got time.

I've got to get dressed and go.

Thank you.

What's going on is Brian here with some
way you sure is he in there?

Well now Jason why don't you come with
me find out

Who's in that van

take a look I have no secret

I warned you a long time ago, Shumway.

If you made a friend out of Brian, you
would make an enemy out of me.

You're under arrest.

You guys want to hold it down out there?
I've got a reading of his rights.

Now, why'd you have to do me this way in
the car? Couldn't we have discussed it

first?

You have the right to remain silent.

Shumway was arrested.

That was no accident.

Does this change your plans?

I'll, uh... I'll have to see my friends
in Amsterdam and let them supply me.

But you can stay for a few days.

I don't know.

Shumway.

Shumway getting knocked over doesn't
make any sense.

He's always so careful.

Something's off.

I don't think he was that careful. No.

The day before I'm supposed to make my
deal, this guy gets knocked over?

That's no coincidence.

Who knew?

Nobody. Nobody.

Are you holding out?

Huh?

Are you telling me everything?

Don't. I haven't survived this long
without instincts.

And I can smell it.

You always get like this.

You always see shapes and shadows.

There's nothing there.

There is something there.

Something.

But Jesse, you've got to get on with
your life.

It seems to me that's what your husband
is trying to do. I can't believe it.

I just know he's coming back.

I don't think he is.

But anyway, I shall be in contact with
you at all times.

What am I going to do?

If I'd have been a better wife, none of
this would have happened.

You must stop blaming yourself, Jesse.

You really must. It doesn't do any good.

You've got to stand up for yourself and
for Laura.

I don't want to mix in where I'm not
invited, but Brian is being scared off.

I thought the plan was to blindside him.

You can blindside a man only if he's
looking in one direction.

McCall, you are doing everything in your
power to send this guy away.

So?

That's one direction, isn't it?

He'll be easier to take now that he's
preoccupied.

Oh, by the way, Mickey Kostmeyer, George
Cook.

And a few other of my people seem to
have left the city. Would you happen to

know anything about that?

I haven't a clue.

I'm sure you haven't. Excuse me, do you
mind if we start over again here? If you

don't want Brian, fine.

Just tell me. Let's not fight over it,
McCall. Life is too hard.

Yes or no?

Where? Precise location.

The heliport on 37th Street in 45
minutes.

How's it going, kiddo? I've got no
business being here, Mike. Why don't you

get the hell out?

Is there any way for your mommy to greet
her long -lost husband?

Stay away from us, Mike. We don't want
you here.

I only hear one of you saying that. If
you lay a hand on her, I swear to God,

Mike, I'll kill you.

Yeah, right.

How about coming over here?

Welcoming home your dad?

McCall. It's O'Toole.

I was wondering if you talked to the
Moore woman today.

Yes, I just left her.

Well, her husband was released early
this morning, and he was supposed to

directly to my office.

And he didn't show up?

Well, I don't want to panic, but... No,
no, no, no.

Thank you.

I can't get there right now.

You'd better contact Lieutenant Moore.

We won't let anything happen to her.
Ryan's coming to town.

I'm coming home. I know me. Mommy,
please.

No more. You're letting him get away.
What am I going to do? Don't worry. I'm

not going to leave you hanging.

Didn't the kid tell you?

I got something for you.

Guess you're not interested in getting
Brian.

If

you

don't want Brian, just tell me.

Yes or no?

Stay away from her.

Stay away.

Let her go.

Don't come any closer.

Oh, come on, come on. You don't really
want this.

I won't go back there.

Mike, there comes a time in your life
when you have to make a choice.

Now, if you want to throw away your
life, that is your choice.

You have no right to make a choice with
somebody else.

Especially your own daughter.

Please, Mike, don't do this.

I don't have to listen to you. Yes, you
do.

You do have to listen to her.

Look, at some time in the past, you and
Jessie got together.

Huh?

Something brought you together.

Perhaps it's over.

But don't throw away the one truly
blessed thing that came out of it.

Your daughter, Michael.

All you have done so far is violate a
court order. Don't make it any worse.

You know, Mike, that you have to go
back.

Let me help you, eh?

Carl!

Carl!

I told you I'm not going back there!

I warn you, when you finally get out, I
shall be here.

It's finished.

You do understand that?

Now, I depended on you, and that was a
big mistake.

Let me tell you something. You know, for
a while, I had this overwhelming

admiration for you. I mean, you had him.

He was off guard, he was anxious, he was
ripe, and now he's gone.

You know something, McCall?

You have lost it. I mean, it isn't just
a question of getting soft or being old.

It is a complete and total lack of
focus.

Brian isn't the one responsible for
Angela's death.

That's right, McCall.

She is dead.

The general's men shot and killed her as
soon as you left.

You know, Brian is the one that I've got
respect for.

Not you, Jason.

You set me up on it.

You wanted Brian dead.

I don't know why.

Believe me, I will find out.

McCall! I think I'm going to take your
advice.

About what?

I think you've done nothing but give
advice lately.

About getting on with my life.

No more looking back.

Only towards the future.

Oh, that would seem to be a good idea.

Got quite a lot to look forward to now.

If only I could convince Laura of that.

Now, that'll take time.

Something she's got to convince herself
of, eh?

Hey.

That is beautiful.

My daddy liked ships.

He promised he'd take me around the
world on one.

He's not going to take me.

If he ever.

I'm sure he won't. It won't be for a
long time.

Will I ever see my daddy again?

Of course you will.

But your daddy needs help.

Oh, yes.

Lots of people are trying to help him.

In the meantime, you've got to be very
strong because you have to help your

mummy.

But I love my daddy so.

Of course you do.

And you'll never stop loving him.

But you see, sometimes grown -ups, they
find it

difficult to express their love.

But hopefully one day your daddy will be
able to show you exactly how much he

really does love you.

Hey, you remember you invited me for
dinner once?

Well, I am going to return the favor.

I make the most fantastic souffle.

Souffle?

Souffle. You know what a souffle is?

Well, uh,

well, it's, uh...

How about peanut butter and jelly?

Come on, little one. Come on.
