All language subtitles for The Equalizer s02e11 Heartstrings

Pay you for children. You stole it. That
wasn't the deed.

I don't have to tell you anything. Leave
me alone. No, wait. These people can be

very deceptive. Drop the gun.

No, you drop it. You don't know what
it's like to lose a child.

What do you think you're doing?

I'll do anything.

We are going to find your little boy
wherever he is and we are going to bring

him back. Watch out for the child.

Got it.

When the wind blows,

the cradle will fall.

When the bough breaks, the cradle will
fall.

Tommy Jr.? Say hello, little Tommy.

Ah, well, as you see, he's the strong,
silent type.

And very handsome.

Thank you. He looks just like his
father.

He'd have been very proud.

I'm sure he would have.

And now if I can borrow him for just a
minute, we need to weigh him again.

Why? Is something wrong?

No, it's just routine.

This won't take a minute.

Ready to go?

Just about.

Where's your baby?

The other nurse took him.

What other nurse? I'm your nurse.

Oh, you mean an aide. Was she in a pink
uniform?

No, she was...

Wearing white, like you.

She said she had to weigh him again.

He did that first thing this morning.

Security. Report to maternity. Stand.

Close the exits.

What? Yes, you heard me. Close the
exits.

How was your trip? It was, uh, boring.

Really? I thought I heard something
about an attempted hijack at the

Uh, well, they tried. We didn't let
them.

Hey, did you bring what I asked?

Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.

Oh, bubblegum, it's good to be home.

How are the Knicks doing?

The Knicks?

I, uh, I don't think I know anybody
called the Knicks, do I?

Knicks with a K, you know, slam dunk.

Dunk? Oh, definitely don't know anybody
called Dunk.

No, I would have remembered somebody
called Dunk.

Get out. How would I know how that mix
are doing?

There we are.

Control says that you were just out for
a romp in the woods.

I suppose you could call ten of us being
chased through the jungle by General

Thwop, one of 4 ,000 of his closest
friends, a romp in the woods.

I think he's worried that you're going
to ask for a vacation, you know.

McCall, that was my vacation.

Welcome home, Mickey.

Thanks, McCall.

Where's my Tommy?

Mr. Daniels, please, come sit down. You
need to rest.

Rest? What are they doing? They're doing
everything they can. Everything's going

to be fine.

Mr. Daniels, I'm Eugene Whitman, Chief
of Administration.

What are you doing about my baby?

Well, we're asking people if they saw
anything. We're searching the hospital

high and low. But you haven't found him
yet. We're doing everything we can.

Please believe that. Mr. Daniels, I'm
Frank Carter of the FBI. I'll be

your case.

Under the presumption that we're dealing
with a kidnapping case, the law allows

us to jump right in without waiting the
mandatory 24 hours. I want everybody in

the building ID'd by at least two other
staff members and keep it sealed tight

until we're through.

Do you think it's someone in the
hospital?

It couldn't be anyone on our staff.

All the same, we'll check them out.

Of course.

Is your husband here, Mrs. Daniels? I'd
like to talk to both of you together.

No.

He died seven months ago.

I'm on my own.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Mr. Carter, my baby is the only thing I
have.

You've got to find him.

Please.

Yes, the building superintendent let us
in. This is Agent Ramirez, our

communications specialist.

Where have you set up? We're hoping to
the van outside. It'll cause the least

amount of disruption.

Rejection box has been wired so we can
intercept and trace all incoming calls.

You won't even have to pick up the
phone. Agent Ramirez has been trained to

with kidnappers. She'll handle all the
negotiations.

You're assuming there'll be
negotiations.

What if there aren't?

I know this is very difficult, Mrs.

Daniels, but...

Please, trust us.

You see, we've handled many cases like
this before.

Our agents are circulating a sketch of
the woman from your description. We've

enlisted the aid of the local
authorities.

If the kidnappers aren't interested in
money, the percentages favor another

possibility, a disturbed woman who wants
a child.

A neighbor hears the news.

See, they're pushing a carriage in the
park, calling us. That's the way these

things usually pan out.

The woman who took my baby wasn't
disturbed.

I'm sure she didn't appear that way to
you or you wouldn't have given your son

to her.

But these people can be very deceptive.
Please, she was calm and

in control.

In which case, we wait for the ransom
demand.

If you can think of anything more to
tell me, I'll be downstairs.

Would you like me to stay with you?

No, I'd like to be alone for a while.

Of course.

Look, Mrs.

Daniels, I know Mr. McCall's background,
and you're certainly free to make your

own decisions.

We've had people consult with doctors
and fortune tellers.

One woman talked to her psychic
dietician. Oh, dear.

I do hope you're not calling me a quack.
Of course not. I'm simply saying that

outside help isn't necessary.

No one is more successful at handling
situations like this than the Bureau.

But can you guarantee you'll get my baby
back?

No one can do that. I only wish we
could. And I want all the help I can

You know the rules.

Yes. Don't break any of them.

Oh, I doubt that our paths will even
cross.

Can I get you some tea?

Yes, yes, I would like a cup, very much.

He'll be hungry soon. I need to pick up
some warmers.

We'll pick some up on the way back to
the store.

I can't believe how fast it hit the
paper. If we get caught... Hey, we're

going to get caught.

I've been through this before.

You said so yourself this one was
different.

Yeah, that's right. We're really cashing
in. Don't worry about it. By this time

tomorrow it'll all be over. We'll have
our cash and our bio and we'll have his

baby.

Daniel, I do wish you'd sit down and
rest for a while. Please.

If only my Tom were here, they'd listen
to him. Oh, I doubt it. I doubt it very

much indeed.

The FBI follow the book. They have to.

But Agent Carter was right when he said
that they have a very high success rate

with kidnapping.

Now, you believe that this was planned
right from the start?

She even knew his name.

In that case, the next step is that they
will telephone and demand a ransom.

Why? I don't have any money.

Anyone who'd check could find that out.

If we eliminate the idea of ransom or of
a psychotic woman searching for

a child, I think there is only one other
probability.

It is possible that someone has stolen
your little boy to sell him to an

baby broker.

I didn't put my baby up for adoption.

No, but suppose there was a girl in the
hospital who did want her baby adopted

and then changed her mind at the last
minute.

In order to establish that, we would
have to go through the records of the

hospital to see if there is an adoption
agency or brokerage who has paid the

medical bills for a mother but in the
end didn't receive a baby.

Now, the broker no longer has a baby to
sell, but he still has a client waiting.

who had paid.

So your little boy becomes a target of
opportunity.

Mr. Daniels, we are going to find your
little boy wherever he is, and we are

going to bring him back. We are going to
bring him home.

You, um... You're quite sure you've got
all this worked out?

Just watch for my signal.

Well, I know you're sick.

Finger

tight.

Excuse me?

Fingers tied.

Well, you signed up, didn't you?

Signed up for what?

The hospital bowling team.

I'm pretty sure your name's here.

Yeah, here it is right here. See, Frank?

Come on. It says here you have a 168
average.

A little girl like you? I'm afraid
there's been some mistake.

The captain says that he wants everyone
fitted for a bowling ball.

How does this one look to you?

Black. Look, I've never bowled in my
life.

Well, uh... A little lighter feel to it.

That's it.

It's been swell.

Guess I really bowled him over, huh?

Why don't you just get in the car?

You think?

Yeah.

Only two other baby boys were born at
the same time as yours in that hospital

mothers who did not pay their own
medical bills, but whose babies were

released to them.

The bills were paid by adoption
agencies.

It's extremely likely, however, it
cannot be proved.

Simple reason.

that down in the file, the person paying
is listed as

medical expenses paid by other. What do
we do?

Well, you're going upstairs to your
apartment and I'm going off to visit

I'm coming with you.

Daniel. Please.

This is my child.

The only child I may ever have.

You don't know what it's like to lose a
child.

Actually, I do.

Ours was a daughter.

She died when she was very, very small.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Oh, it's all right.

It was such a long time ago.

All right, you win.

Let's go and visit two mothers.

So the hospital records show that your
medical bills were paid for by somebody

else. You see, our fat cat legislators
passed a law saying that adoption

agencies could only give a pregnant girl
some little piddling amount.

Otherwise, she'd want to sell her baby.

Was there any pressure on you to give up
your baby after you'd been paid this

piddling amount?

No, none at all. The adoption agency
lady said it was strictly Gaylene's

decision. She couldn't even sign final
papers till after her baby was born.

Well, Gaylene took one look at her baby
and made it loud and clear she wanted to

keep him.

And Mr. McCall, there was no arguing
with her. The hospital social worker was

sitting right there.

Excuse me.

So you brought the baby back here?

And it was the cutest baby you ever did
see.

But you know, all those do -gooders who
talk so much about the precious life of

a child.

Well, once a baby's born, they just
disappear. You won't catch them down

changing diapers.

You said was the cutest baby.

Where is the baby now?

Did something happen to it?

Well, uh... Gaylene and I had a long
talk about the future.

I mean, I worked two jobs just to
support us.

So Gaylene finally signed the papers.

But this way you see she can go on to
high school and she can make something

herself. Isn't that right, sugar?

I hope you get your baby back soon.

Because... Because I know how you feel.

I think you do.

on their last chance, isn't there?

No one home.

You'd matter.

You better talk to her first.

Molly, we met at the hospital, remember?

How's your baby?

Who is he?

My name is Robert McCall. I'm a friend
of Mrs. Daniels and I'm helping her look

for her baby.

I heard.

I'm sorry. I really am.

I have to go now. I'm sorry. Just a
minute.

We need your help.

I don't know who took your baby.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

All I want to know from you...

is the name of the adoption agency that
paid your medical bill at the hospital.

Who told you that?

I never went to an adoption agency.

And I never said I'd adopt out my Billy.
I never did. Never. Why are you so

frightened?

I don't have to talk to you.

I don't have to tell you anything. Leave
me alone. No, wait. Please.

Look, I don't know why you're so scared.

I don't have anyone except my Billy, and
I'm not going to give him up.

Were you threatened?

I told you, I never went to an adoption
agency.

Molly, if you need help, I can help you.
Believe me, I can help you.

I just went to Mr.

Whitman. Hospital administrator.

Arranges adoptions.

If you promise to adopt out, he pays
your rent and everything.

But I didn't like the man he was going
to give my baby to.

You met this man?

Once, by accident.

Did you know his name?

Kuro.

He was so cold, I couldn't let him raise
my son.

He can't take Billy away from me, can
he?

I mean, even if I did sign some pre
-adoption something paper, they can't

my baby away from me, can they?

Nobody can take your baby away from you,
nobody.

Look, don't you think you should stay in
the car?

No, I'm going to be all right.

I think you're doing too much too soon.
Please.

I want to do this.

Mr. Whitman.

Who are you?

Well, let's just say that I'm a man who
is interested in your adoption business,

shall we?

You have met Mrs.

Daniels, I believe.

What have you done with my boy?

Nothing, I swear.

Let me put it another way.

To whom did you promise Molly Nesbitt's
baby?

I may lose patience with you, Mr.
Whitman.

I doubt the police will.

I'm sure they will want to question you
at length.

The arrangement was that Molly would
give up her baby. She decided to keep

so I gave back the deposit to the
client.

Oh, how nice to know that you still have
ethics.

And how about a certain Mr. Hector
Kouros?

Does he have any?

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

You're lying.

I'm sorry.

But I had nothing to do with the
abduction of your child. Then explain

happened to my baby.

I can't. So what kind of hospital do you
run?

Where's my baby?

I'm truly sorry, but I know nothing.

You're lying. You know you're lying. I
know you're lying.

And I shall be back here with proof that
you are lying.

And if you're lucky.

Very lucky.

You might just get away with losing your
license instead of going to prison.

Come on, Mr. Daniels.

There's nothing for us here.

What am I going to do?

We continue the third. A friend of mine
is already checking out the man caller.

The man.

I think that... I'm going to be sick.
No, you're not. Come on.

Let's go.

Where?

To the private hospital, where you can
get care and attention.

No. No, Tommy.

Let me deal with that, please.

You need rest, and you need care, and
that's what you're going to get.

We are going to find your baby.

I promise you. Come on, please.

All right?

Why'd you do it?

Don't be upset. What do you mean, don't
be upset? It's coming apart.

Stop panicking.

Where's the mother?

Of course, that's her in Whitehouse.
It's a private hospital.

She's turning me over to the authority.

Well, you just have to keep your cool,
that's all. I want to keep my job.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm pulling out.

I never thought it was going to come
down to a kidnapping.

You overstepped your limits, Norell.

When the Nesbitt woman, Renee, done the
deal, you should have waited until

another baby should be found. We did.

You stole it.

That wasn't the deal.

When it comes down to making a clean
breast of things, I'm going to do it.

I have no part in that kidnapping. I'm
going to tell them.

I can't let you do that. You have no
choice.

I'm afraid I do.

Yeah. It's Narelle, Mr. Kors.

Do you have him?

Yeah, went without a hitch.

That's the girl was glad to see him go.

Good. Will you bring him to me tomorrow?

Yeah, we'll meet you at the airport.

I'll call you with the exact time.

I'm glad everything went smoothly.

Smooth as silk.

Looking forward to seeing you, Mr. Kors.

He didn't tell him.

What, take the risk of him realizing
that he is an accessory to a kidnapping?

If he backed out, we'd be stuck with
this kid and nothing to show for our

troubles. Gold mines like Corus are hard
to find. I don't intend on blowing the

money that he's going to pay us.

And I also know that if we handle this
business very well, Corus may have other

work for us.

Just what is it we have to handle?

Well, the baby's mother is not going to
stop looking for her kid.

And McCall, if he keeps digging into
Whitman, he's liable to link him to us.

Do you realize what you're saying?

Yeah. And I trust that you do, too.

We can't leave any loose ends.

Hello? Hello, Mr. McCall.

I hope these might brighten up your
afternoon.

your doctor.

And he says that you are going to be
fine.

So long as you don't start running
around this city again.

Have you found Corus?

No, not yet.

But we will soon.

There we are.

Beautiful.

I should be out there with you.

I feel so useless.

You are not useless.

Everything that can be done is being
done to find Tommy. And we'll find him.

And so.

I'm just so very frightened that he is.

Hello, doctor.

Want to take a walk?

What are you doing here?

Tell me that you've been looking for a
man by the name of Hector Kurov.

I don't know what it's about, but it's
going to have to stop.

Really?

Yeah.

Since Kostner put his name into the
computer, all of the agency alarm bells

started to ring all over the place.

Well, well, well. This Mr. Kouros must
have a very interesting file.

Yeah, he does.

It's all top secret.

So, I cut open an apple, and what do I
find?

An agency maggot.

Would you be interested in knowing what
I think this man has just done?

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter.

Oh, I think you'd find it does matter.

How about the kidnapping of a newborn
baby? How does that sound to you?

It sounds tragic.

And my standing orders remain the same,
hands off.

I don't give a damn about your standing
orders.

What exactly has this Mr. Kouros done
for this country that he should receive

such divine immunity?

I can't answer that, Robert. No, that's
your problem, isn't it? You can never

answer anything.

I think this conversation has just
ended. Look, I may not like this, but I

have a choice. Now, I want your word
that you will disengage.

What the hell has happened to you?

Huh? Has the agency finally destroyed
your last vestige of humanity? Did you

hear what I said? I heard what you said,
and I said that you will leave Kuros

alone. Well, I'll tell you something.

If that man is innocent, if he is a good
man, then he has nothing to fear, has

he?

But if he is responsible for the agony,
the unbearable agony of a woman I have

just visited in that hospital...

then God help him.

And nobody but God will be able to help
him. Good day.

Hello. Mrs. Daniels?

Yes.

Who is this?

I'm the person who took your baby.

Please.

I'll do anything.

Just give him back to me. Look, that's
what I want to do, but I've got to be

careful. I don't want to go to jail,
understand?

You've got the cops and the FBI all
around you. Look, I'll find a way of

avoiding them.

We'll meet somewhere, anywhere.

I'll keep them away.

I don't know. They'll find me. They
won't.

I promise.

Just tell me what to do.

Okay. Okay, I'll take the chance.

Meet me at 140 Reginald Street, but come
home.

None. Nobody. Be there in 30 minutes.

Hello?

Lucky for you, it wasn't Vinnie.

I told you.

I won't call anybody.

Well, get up. Right up.

Talk about sorts of drying up. I just
walked in a Sahara desert.

And who do you think is responsible for
that?

Just driving up now.

We'll be back in a minute.

Patrol, you can't stop.

Well

wealthy business man.

Apparently he seems to own most of the
shipping lines and half of the factories

in Europe.

And guess what?

Partly supported and backed by the
agency.

Marvellous, isn't it?

What's Control going to do about it?

No, I've persuaded him to move aside.

Kudos is on his own.

Oh, my baby.

Well, well.

Mother and child reunited.

For now.

Get out.

What do you think you're... Shut up.

Hector Kouros, I believe.

Who are you and what do you want?

I want answers about a newborn child
who's been snatched from his mother.

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

I have learned that you and your
American wife have been searching for a

Who told you that?

Oh, uh, mutual associates who apparently
have been making your various

businesses extremely profitable.

Now they think that you are looking to
adopt a child. I think you've kidnapped

one. Unthinkable. I would never do such
a thing.

Yes, I did try to arrange for an
adoption, but legitimately.

Mr. Kouros, you tried to buy a child.

The child's mother was called Molly
Nesbitt. She backed out at the last

I think it's time you told me the name
of the person who was arranging all this

for you.

Well, perhaps you would care to discuss
it with our mutual associate.

Well,

I don't know, Mickey. That's entirely up
to Mr. Kouros, isn't it?

His name is Norell.

Where would I find him?

I don't know. The contact was made
through a third party. He calls me.

Where's the child?

With Norell.

It should be delivered in a few hours.

Vicky, stop driving.

I want you to go back to your hotel room
and I want you to stay there.

For what? For what? For the FBI, of
course. They'll want to ask you some

questions. I had nothing to do with any
kidnapping.

Tell them.

I will.

You have turned the simple purchase of a
child into a nightmare.

A man just informed me that you have
kidnapped a child and connected my name

it. I know who that was. We're cleaning
up your situation.

Well, because of this mess, the plans
must change.

I want the child delivered right now.

I said I'm going to take care of it.
I'll have the baby at the airport. You

bring the money. One hour.

Doesn't look like he's going to his
hotel.

He doesn't, does he?

Call. Mr. McCall, this is Vanessa
Daniels.

I need you to come and get me right
away.

Please.

I was out looking for my child.

You're supposed to be in the hospital.

Where on earth are you?

I'm in a store.

140 Reginald Street.

Stay where you are. I'll be there.

What's up?

You sound very frightened.

I smell a tickle.

You get that feeling in the pit of your
stomach when you know you're going in.

Always.

Drop the gun.

Where's her baby?

Doesn't matter. Drop the gun.

I will drop the gun when I've seen Mrs.
Daniels. Move it!

Where's the baby?

That woman from the hospital.

She took him.

They're going to the airport.

All right, all right. All right, come
on, Mickey, come on.

The Bureau has admitted what's wrong. I
know we've got to catch him in the act.

Those are the rules.

But let me move in first.

All right.

Mrs. Daniels, when we get there, you'll
stay in this car.

Mickey, cover me.

She sold her $100 ,000.

Now give me the baby.

Kota, stay where you are.

It's all finished.

You are now going to give up the baby.

I don't know who you are, but you've
made a big mistake. You can't stop me

leaving. There, you are wrong.

This is the FBI. Step away from the
plane, Mr. Korath.

You're wasting your time.

One call, that's all it will take. I
have immunity.

Not anymore.

All you have left are problems, Korath.

Mr. Korath.

I'm now going to come and take the baby
from you.

These men are highly trained moths.

If you move one muscle from now on, they
will kill you.

Now give me the baby.

Now.

Mr. Daniels, come and get your gun.

Now wait in the car. I'll see you there.

I didn't know you were coming here
today.

Thank you.

It's all right.

I've got something I want to say.

I feel that I owe you an apology.

It's not necessary. It is necessary.

It is necessary. Look, do you think we
could just stop for a minute? It's

awfully difficult to apologize to
someone who's walking on at 20 miles an

Right. I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry.

I abused our friendship.

What you did about Kouros was exactly
right.

I was wrong. No, you weren't wrong.

I was wrong.

And I apologize.

I'm supposed to say something profound?

If you want to say something profound,
say it.

No, not really. I know a quotation of
Robert Frost. Oh, all I need is a

quotation. I can say that.

I did keep praying, and I did keep
hoping, but, you know, there were times

I thought I'd never see him alive again.

Oh, he's very much alive, isn't he?

Apparently none the worse for his
experience.

He's a brave little man.

Takes after his father.

Ah, well, I happen to know his mother
should take some of the credit.

what you've done for us both.

And I don't even know how to begin to
thank you.

Well, I'll tell you how you can thank
me.

You can drop in and see me.

And you bring little Tom in.

You look out, brother.

Yes, I will.
