The Equalizer Page #2

I think you can be anything

you wanna be.

Maybe in your world, Robert.

Doesn't happen that way in mine.

Change your world.

There's no ring.

Hm?

On your wedding finger, there's no ring.

No.

No Mrs. Robert at home?

No.

Was there ever?

Once.

Did you break her heart?

She broke mine.

You know,

I see a lot of widowed guys.

Something in your eyes.

You know, it's not sad.

It's just kind of...

lost, you know?

You always read books?

My wife did. She, uh...

She was working through the

100 Books Everybody Should Read.

She made it to 97, so I figured...

I'd give it a shot.

And one day we'd have something

to talk about when we get together.

Wow, a hundred books.

Yeah.

Holy moly.

Heh, heh.

How many have you read, Robert?

Ninety-one.

Sorry, this damn thing.

Ninety-one books, though.

You're almost done.

Almost.

What are you gonna do after that?

Singing lessons.

Then I'm gonna open

a donut factory.

Heh-heh-heh.

I am. What? Why you laughing?

- I love being up at this hour.

- Yeah?

Yeah. You know,

everything's so dark.

It makes everything

seem possible again.

Yeah, me,

I can't sleep at night.

Yeah, well, I get

to hear your stories.

What's your new one about?

Oh, it's about a guy who thinks

he's a knight in shining armor.

The only thing is, he lives in a world

where knights don't exist anymore.

Kind of sounds like

my world. Heh.

I'm just up the block.

I'm gonna grab a cab or something.

Thank you for the quiet voice,

Robert.

You are very welcome, Alina.

Yeah.

Catch you around, all right?

Good night.

Sh*t.

See you.

What did you do, huh?

What did you do

to that customer?

Slavi, he hit me.

Who do you think you are? Hm?

It's all right.

Understand.

It's all right, Robert.

Let's talk about you

not answering my calls.

B*tch!

Should

we give him a card?

This girl, she's no good.

Call this number.

I send you another one. Better.

Don't be shy. Make the call.

Understand.

Coffee?

We need more sugar out here.

I heard she's at the ICU at Shawmuts.

Someone beat her up real good.

- Dr. Paley to ICU.

- Dr. Paley to ICU, please.

Dr. Mark to the pharmacy.

Dr. Mark to the pharmacy, please.

Alina.

You'll be okay, Alina. You'll be okay.

Oh. Watch it.

Don't you worry about it.

It's okay. It's okay.

Here you go.

I can... It's fine. Thank you.

Got it.

How's she doing?

Alina. How's she doing?

Who are you?

Just a friend.

A guy hit her.

And she hit him back.

A guy called Slavi.

So Slavi made example

of her.

They do that.

They burned one girl's face

with battery acid.

Keep her around as a reminder

for the rest of us.

They brought Teri over

very young.

Think she got to the point where
