The Equalizer Page #6

Synopsis: In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by - he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

Agitated about something?

Slavi never did his business

in front of the girls.

Tevi handled us.

We can't locate one of the other girls

from Slavi's stable. Teri.

You know her?

No.

Where we might find her?

No. Sorry.

I didn't know her that well.

Was my message received, Teddy?

Yes, Mr. Pushkin.

All of our associates...

Irish, Italians, Armenians.

...Are all denying any knowledge

or involvement.

We cannot show weakness.

I need this wrapped up quickly.

It will be.

Of course, don't worry.

Good.

Now enough of what you don't know.

Tell me what you do know.

Well, I'm still sifting through

things, but the killings were spontaneous.

Whoever did this specialized in killing.

I've rarely seen skills like this.

I don't think it's someone

we've encountered before.

Whoever it is, just find him, Teddy.

I'm talking over a million barrels,

this delivery.

- Understand?

- It will all be well.

I'll take care of it.

When you do, be loud about it.

I don't want this happening again.

Of course.

Come on.

Stuff it in.

See that?

That son of a b*tch.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

- We're closed. Get out.

- Let's go.

Time to go.

Nice to see you.

See? You pay on time,

no more problems.

Ha-ha-ha.

All right, let's go.

Mamacita,

you need to clean the grease.

It'll cause a fire.

Good accent.

See you next week.

- Let's go get a blowie.

- Hey, officers.

Whoa, put the light down.

What's up?

I'd like to report a crime.

Really? Call 911.

Let's get out of here.

F*** that guy.

Should shoot that motherf***er.

Take it easy.

How did you get this job?

I blew the commissioner.

Why waste city services

when I got two corrupt cops

right in front of me?

It's that guy.

This f***ing guy?

Yeah.

Back up.

How'd you get

that f***ing number?

- Wasn't hard.

- Yeah?

- Neither was this.

- Ask the lady down the street.

The one who had the fire.

Same thing could happen to you

with your whole family inside.

- Open it.

- You pay like everybody else.

How many copies?

One.

You must have

a death wish, pal.

What the f***

do you want, huh? Huh?

The people you took

the money from,

you should give it back.

Ha-ha-ha. Why would we do that?

That would be in the best interest

of everyone.

Really?

Yeah.

Maybe our best interest is to tie

a block around you

and throw you

in the Mystic, huh?

Let's do that.

It's a good idea.

You're supposed to stand

for something, punk.

F***.

Protect and serve. Uphold the law.

Justice.

Remember?

Who the f*** are you?

Tomorrow you'll have returned all

the money you extorted from those people.

Tell them it will never happen again.

Do that,

and this video will never be seen.
