I mean, you're a very special music
critic to me, but I was hoping you

need more than four.

Oh, no, that's okay. I only need one.

One? Are you kidding?

You are going to bring a date, aren't
you? I mean, I can tell from your voice

lady like you has got to have a
significant other.

Well, no.

No, I don't. Not actually at the moment.

Well, then, this must be my lucky day.

Listen, if this won't offend your
critical integrity, why don't I just

the seat next to mine and pick you up
for dinner at the magazine office?

Oh, Jerry, no. No, thanks.

I mean, I appreciate the compliment. I
do. I just... I think you might be

getting into something here that you're
not going to want to cope with.

What do you mean? You sound like a
terrific person.

What could be so terrible?

I'm going out for lunch.

Sorry.

I didn't like it. I didn't like it. I
didn't like it. I didn't like it. I

like it.

I didn't like it. I didn't like it.

Don't let him get away.

Bye.

Hello, Logan.

Hi, Robert.

What brings you here?

Well, the word in the street is that you
aren't.

Well, I've been busy.

I've been reading.

For many a time, I have been half in
love.

Logan called him soft names in many a
mused rhyme.

To take into the air my quiet friend.

It was a stray shot, Logan. They don't
even know if it came from your gun. He

was 15, wasn't he?

It was an impossible situation to start
with, trying to get a family like that

out of the Bekaa.

You couldn't have designed your end of
the operation any better. I could have

designed it, not at all.

I'm tired, Robert.

I know you're tired.

Let's check it out early.

No, I won't permit that.

What are you, God, Robert?

The power of life and death?

Take a look around you.

This is my life.

Sixteen years in the field.

And what do I have to come home to?

An obituary notice for a 15 -year -old
boy that I was supposed to save, not

kill.

Oh, for God's sake, Logan.

There must be something I can say or do
to reach you.

You've reached me, Robert.

You've reached me.

Just, uh, nobody's home.

I'll be back.

It was the same man, I'm sure.

Who attacked you?

Yes. Eight years ago?

Yes. Did he touch you in the elevator?
Did he say anything to you? No, I was

in the back of the elevator, but I heard
his voice.

Yeah, I'm sure you think you did.

The problem is...

All the people in the elevator scattered
when you started yelling, right?

This is a large building. Hundreds of
people pass through here every day.

Now, our man had to be just another
visitor because you've never heard him

before.

And I certainly can't give you a recent
description of him or even look at

mugshots.

But, well, listen, whoever it was, I
don't think you're in any danger.

I mean, after that scene of yours on the
elevator about the last thing our man

wants to do is to get within earshot of
you again.

That's assuming it's the same man, which
I think you have to admit is... It was

the same man.

I'm sure of it.

Yeah, you heard, huh?

Well, what do they say?

Well, they think I'm crazy.

Do you want me to come over?

Maybe you should come over.

Susan,

could you hold on for a minute?

Are you all right?

Susan, hold on.

No, no, stay on the line, please.

We checked everything out.

There's no evidence of forced entry.

But he was here.

The doorman let no one in who doesn't
belong here. All the other entrances are

on alarm. Even the residents don't have
a key.

But the things on my desk were out of
place. Somebody searched it.

And I heard the door.

Yeah, well... Look, I'm sorry.

I really am. I'm very sorry. But there's
nothing we can do.

Then... He's gonna kill me.

Hello, Isabel.

Who's that?

Miss Parnell?

My name is McCall, Robert McCall.

Your friend Susan telephoned me.

I've come here to help you.

But the police said that he didn't see
anything.

No, but you said he'd be the only one
who has any other keys, so...

And he's not here.

But he's supposed to always be here.

Just wait there a bit, all right?

Oh, can I help you, sir?

You lied to the police, didn't you?

No, sir, no.

How often do you leave that desk
unattended?

Not long. Not too often. I just try to
keep up my cheer.

Where are your keys?

Right here, sir. Right here.

Where are your other keys?

The ones you give to delivery men when
you are too damn lazy to escort them

upstairs.

They're in my desk.

Right here, sir.

Am I good?

What's the matter?

It's Keith I'm missing.

Well, in a way, yes.

I need your help.

What, Robert?

An operation?

To protect a woman.

A very special woman.

She really needs your help.

She has more reason to feel sorry for
herself than you do.

But you know something?

She doesn't.

We'll call.

Sorry, I got nervous waiting outside.

Sorry, Kate, I'll be with you in a
minute.

The man who attacked her eight years
ago, apparently, wants to finish the

Yes, well.

Sorry you've been bothered, Logan.

Come on, Kate.

He's not going to take the job?

I don't know.

How are you, Logan?

Well, Kate, isn't it? Yeah.

All the locks and all the doors have
been changed.

Thanks. Yeah.

I still think we ought to move you to
another house.

No.

Why not?

Because then he wins again.

He destroyed my life once.

Took me a long, long time to put it back
together again.

No. I'm not running.

It would be like being raped again.

What do you know? It was the same man,
Kate.

Oh, I got to know his voice pretty well.

I mean...

Rape is, uh... It's really a power
thing. You understand that, don't you? I

mean, the men who do it are weak.

They can't be with a woman unless they
brutalize her.

Well, in my case, it took several hours.

You never saw him?

Oh, yes, I saw him. Oh, I could see just
fine back then.

Yeah, I used to be an art critic before
this happened.

No, no, he did this to me.

He kept beating me and beating me.

And the damage was permanent.

Yeah, sure.

So it's been eight years since... Yeah.

You live here alone, is that right?

Yes, I live alone.

So you haven't seen, you haven't dated
anybody since, is that right?

That's right. No, I guess I just haven't
been in the mood.

The more I think about it, the more I
believe this man has got to be a figure.

He's got to be a public figure.

Entertainer.

Well -known businessman.

Politicians, possibly.

Otherwise, what you told Kate Parnell
last night would indeed be correct.

He would have avoided her like the
plague.

As it is, he saw your man had scored a
home, and instead of killing her there

and then, which indeed I'm sure he would
have done, he escaped out of the back

way.

Assuming that he exists at all, or that
that drunken doorman simply didn't lose

the damn keys.

No, no.

He exists, I'm certain of that at all.

All those years ago, This man was not
arrested, which means that he was never

identified.

I am certain that this man has just
achieved some kind of public prominence.

voice is going to be heard on radio,
television, public meetings, possibly.

And he now knows that she can identify
him by his voice.

Or maybe our man's a psychopath who has
fixated on her again.

Even so, she's still in great danger.

Isidore, I understand that you have got
her old file over from the jersey.

Did you think I could have a look at it?

Nicole, you do not have a badge.

Oh, come on, Isidore, come on.

Logan tells me that you're going out.

Oh, I have to. Ashford and Simpson are
previewing for their tour.

Well, we're going to have some
difficulty in giving you full protection

club.

Couldn't you ask your magazine to send
another critic?

Oh, they don't have another critic.

And if they had to get one because of my
blindness or nerves or something, well,

they'd have me back reviewing records in
some closet somewhere. If I was lucky.

Oh, the heat's in the street and in the
clubs. I'd have to be there.

Oh, but you don't have to come. I
understand.

No, no, no. We'll be there.

I love you too many times.

Oh, simple things mean so much.

When was the last touch?

When was the last kiss?

When did you hold him last?

Doesn't mean that there's no pain to
forget.

It's the worst.

So always put them first.

The victory...

I'm quite a good cook.

Oh, how do you like your eggs?

Over easy.

Oh, it's not so hard as you think, you
know. I just stick my finger in the yolk

and that's how I tell if they're done.

Oh.

That's the first time I heard you laugh.

Well, I haven't felt all that jolly, I
believe.

You're a soldier of a sort, aren't you?
You and Mr. McCall?

I'm a sort.

You bet.

You don't have to stay here, you know.

We could take you to a safe house.

Oh, where I'd never be able to work or
pay the rent?

I don't know how anybody could hurt you.

You're very pretty, you know.

Am I still attractive? I don't know. I
haven't seen myself in eight years.

How about you?

What do you look like?

Nothing to write home about.

Oh, I don't believe that.

You've got a good heart.

I bet it shows in your face.

You keep asking me for favors that you
know are impossible, John. Just a little

favor, Joshua.

The answer is no, McCall, not a chance.

Saigon, 1971, Joshua.

Blackmail. Yes, you're right, it is. And
very effective, I'd say.

I could justify access again as a
research project.

Might even be useful if we could make it
work. But if I do this, I don't owe you

a thing anymore, McCall. Not a single
thing.

Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. Of course
not. Well, certainly not where Saigon

is concerned.

Mind you, there is always Paris.

McCall.

I see. What was her name?

I remember it sounded remarkably French.

Who would imagine that she would in fact
turn out to be Russian?

Just bring your client in, McCall. I'll
do the best I can.

I knew you would, Joshua.

I knew you would.

I'm going to need some simple sentences
as a baseline.

It ought to be something you most
clearly remember.

Oh.

Well, what he said was... Don't worry.

I won't hurt you.

I may even make you like it.

Just do what I want and you'll be fine.

Don't worry.

I won't hurt you.

Standard male American parameters.

Don't worry.

I won't hurt you.

Don't worry.

I won't hurt you.

Don't worry, we can plug in variable
phonemes, but how's the bass line?

Do you know anything about music?

Well, his range is about a half an
octave lower.

Don't worry.

I won't.

Don't worry.

How's it going?

She has a lot more to complain about
than I do.

But she doesn't.

I just want to keep her alive.

Don't worry.

I won't hurt you.

No, that's not quite it, but it's so
close.

Do you have a...

What? A waveform control.

You mean like a custom synthesizer.
Here.

All right.

You draw it, and I'll confess.

Don't worry. I won't hurt you.

No, the O sound is still wrong.

Shift it another step.

Now remember, it's going to sound
different when I overlay the emotional

contouring.

I'm going to do that, too.

Now don't worry. I won't hurt you. I may
even make you like it.

You just do what I want and you'll be
fine.

That's it.

Bastard's voice.

You're all right, kid. You're all right.
Take care.

I want you to stop running voice matches
for me.

First of all, I want you to blanket her
office building.

Then, I want you to focus on all
telephone exchanges with high

concentrations of lawyers, politicians,
and media people right up and down the

eastern seaboard.

You just do what I want and you'll be
fine.

That's it.

Andy.

I want you to circulate copies of this
tape to all the adjoining jurisdictions

and the U .S. Attorney's Office.

Oh, and make sure you get it to the
original detectives on the case, the

from Jersey, the officers Julian Coe,
Andrews, Norell, and

Chillicothe, okay?

Still a hell of a long shot.

That tape isn't really evidence. It's
not his real voice.

Yes, indeed.

A 97 .65 % match.

Do we know who it is?

I don't know.

Here's the call.

The call was made to a lawyer and it was
made from the federal lockup. They must

have hauled him in on a pre -trial
hearing.

Here's your tape.

Right, McCall.

What's the matter, Kate?

That was good news.

You want to know the truth, Logan?

I didn't fight him.

Not even when he was hitting me.

Well, it wasn't your fault, Kate. You
were a victim.

You'd have fought him. He might have
killed you.

I still wish to God I had.

Instead of...

Trying to please him. You know about
that, right? You heard that today.

I tried to please him.

But he still kept hitting me.

You weren't prepared, Kate.

Listen. Let me show you something.

Stand up. I want to show you something.

Just a few moves.

Just a few moves.

I don't want anybody to ever hurt you
again, okay?

I want to take care of you, all right?

Now, most often, most often, they come
from the back.

I want you to use the elbow, sharp,
coming back like this. No, look, I

don't want... Kate, Kate, relax, look.
Just bring the elbow sharp.

Kate, Kate.

I don't want anybody to hurt you,
understand?

Yeah. All right, use the elbow. Use the
elbow, bring it back.

Listen, radio.

Stop that!

Hold my call.

All right, Mr. Cole.

Excuse me. My name is McCall.

Robert McCall.

I have to talk to the head of your
division. You mean Mr. Coe? I'm afraid

just missed him.

Coe.

Coe, Coe, Coe.

Is that Julian Coe?

Yeah, he just took over. They pulled him
in early before his confirmation

hearings, but you wouldn't know that.
They haven't had his press conference

Yes, I see.

Can you tell me, has Mr. Coe been down
to the lock -up at all today?

Well, he's touring all of the facilities
today, but I don't think that's any of

your business.

Have there been any problems with these
hearings?

Has he been talking to a lawyer, for
instance?

I'd be grateful if you'd answer these
questions for me. You see, they're

important.

A young woman's life could be at stake.

Well, there are some small problems.

There were allegations of brutality
against him when he was a police

but people won't say anything.

Please, don't do that.

Is that his voice?

Yes.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Where did you get that?

Thank you very much.

Robert, it's Logan.

I'm glad you called.

We have a problem. The voice belongs to
Julian Coe, one of the officers assigned

to Kate's case eight years ago.

So what's the problem if he's in prison?

He never was in prison.

So we've made a mistake.

And I'm afraid that he'll be coming up
to Kate again.

Oh, God, let's go along. What?

We had an argument.

Well, never mind that now. Just get back
to her. Now, hurry, Logan, hurry.

Hi, it's Kate.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm...
I'm sorry about today. I don't know

what... I just... Well, I'd really like
to see you if you could call me when you

get a chance.

Logan? Logan?

Logan?

The rest is.

Hey!

Kate, come out.

No.

I never hurt you.

Really? You came after me in the
elevator.

You called the police.

You know, I never would have hurt you
the first time if you'd really tried to

bleed. No, it's not my fault.

I'm the victim.

It's always the victim's fault.

Some people are just born to be victims.

No! It's all right. It's all right. Are
you hit? No. Are you all right? No, I'm

not. Come here. Come on.

I was afraid.

I did you.

I tried to call you. Did you know that?

I don't know.

I would swear you'd planned it from the
start.

Hardly. No.

Do you remember quoting Keats?

To me?

That was strange, because he's always
been my favorite poet.

Do you by any chance remember the stanza
before the one you quoted that day?

I cannot see what flowers are at my
feet, nor

what soft incense hangs upon the boughs.

But in embalmed darkness, guests each
sweet,

wherewith the seasonable month endows
the grass, the

thicket, and the fruit.

Three, one.

That's it. Great.

That felt great, fellas. See you at
eight. Okay.

Let's make it good tonight.

Thanks for that great review. Oh, you're
welcome.

You guys are great.

Bye.

See you later.

Sure thing.

Congratulations. Thanks, Matt.

One glass in one hand.

Here's to new friends.

Oh, I'll drink to that.

New friends and better days.

Edward Woodward recorded a song for the
series, Helen, but she said it would not

suit the musical style of the equaliser.
He's back tomorrow at ten. Plus

continues next, though, with a Scottish
detective who's being economical with a

truth in between.
