The Equalizer

Hi, Mami.

Sí,I've studied.

If I'm not ready for this interview now,

I don't think I ever will be.

I'm still crazy nervous. I mean,

this scholarship-- it could change everything.

I know. I know. Yo se.

I miss youso bad.

Por favor. Yes.

I need all the prayers I can get. Okay.

I got to lock up. I'll call you tomorrow after work?

Okay. Bye, Mami.

Run!

It's the police.

We can't afford witnesses. We'll get her later.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Morning, Robin.

Aunt Vi, what you doing up?

Heard you pacing upstairs.

Not having a reason to get up in the morning

can keep you up at night.

Thought you could use some tea.

How do you always know what I need?

'Cause I know you. You having second thoughts?

No.

Time to pass that torch.

I'm done with that job. Let somebody else

run that charity for a while.

Well, if you want to go back to bed,

I can take Delilah shopping,

spare you her teenage angst.

Thanks, but I think

this particular errand is my cross to bear.

Detective Dante. I didn't know you were back.

Just last week. You ask me,

they should have given you a medal, not a suspension.

Yeah, well, they don't give medals for assault.

Who's our friend here?

Unknown. No wallet, phone, ID.

We're guessing it was a robbery.

Fresh tracks.

At least he was high before they shot him, right?

You said "they."

Uh, yeah, according to the witness, there was two of them.

Witness? Works at the diner. Saw both doers.

Said they tried to kill her.

That's them.

They know where I work,

who I am.

Is there somewhere you can go for a while?

Somewhere out of town?

Uh, relatives maybe?

No, it was just my mom and me.

She was deported last year.

We can put you in protective custody until we find them.

What if you don't find them? I have a job,

school... What about my life?

Detective Dante,

can I see you a sec?

Jewel, I'm gonna find them,

I promise.

A security cam down the alley got the whole thing.

Take a look.

Play it again.

She's our shooter.

Oh, excuse me. D, you almost ran into that guy.

I saw him.

What's with the attitude?

My attitude?

What's up with you, Mom? Isn't this super weird

for you, going shopping for my dress for Dad's wedding?

It's not on my bucket list. And out of nowhere,

you quit your job last month and won't talk about it?

You love traveling all over the world, being

the big shot at your charity.

Who decides to stop being champion of the downtrodden

so they can just stay home?

It's complicated.

I love that dress.

You want to wear that to your father's wedding?

He would have a coronary.

No, I know, but it's perfect

for the school dance this weekend.

I don't exactly like what that dress is saying.

"Buy me." It's saying "Buy me."

Yeah, it's saying "buy me," just not in the way you're thinking.

Can't we find something with a little more fabric?

Delilah got tall.

How is she?

She thinks I'm an idiot, thanks for asking.

So the Company must be pretty desperate

if they sent your skinny ass up here.

Oh, well, they figured you'd kill anybody else.

I heard about Venezuela.

About Ed and Michelle. I'm sorry.

Not just them.

Half the village, too.

Families, kids.

And for what?

Because a couple of congressmen changed their minds?

Well, they know you're angry,

and I'm here to broker the peace.

The CIA wants you back, Robin.

You're the best they had.

They're gonna offer you anything you want.

More autonomy, your own hand-picked team.

More time with your daughter.

Less time with your daughter?

You can't buy back trust.

Well, what are you gonna do now?

Get a job at Starbucks.

Get the free coffee. Join the PTA.

Well, that's 'cause you're such a people person, right?

Or you could come work for me.

Babysitting billionaires

and oil companies?

Private security is just like working

for the CIA, except it pays a lot better.

Oh, hell, it's all the same chessboard, ou know that.

See, that's the problem, right there.

Everybody's playing chess.

Nobody's thinking about the living, breathing pieces

that we sacrifice along the way.

You know, it's funny. When I can't sleep at night, it's not

the things I've done that keep me up.

It's the people I couldn't save.

And that's what made you so good.

If you ever change your mind...

Come on, sweetie.

You have the money?

New passport and ID?

You got cops looking for you?

My friend said that you can help?

Yeah, I can help.

Come on. We'll get you set up.

It's through here?

Come on! Get out of here.

Hey, guys!

This is Jewel.

Jewel, say "hello."

Hmm.

Hey, Jewel.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Let me go! Get off of me!

Or what? You'll call the cops?

Don't worry.

You'll still get your new IDs.

Who the hell are you?

Neighborhood watch.

I just came to make sure the girl was all right.

She don't look all right.

Maybe you should mind

your own business.

You know, I'll tell you...

I've tried.

But it turns out I'm really bad at it.

But there are other things I'm real good at.

So, why don't you let that girl go,

and I'll let you walk out of here?

Let her go?

Because you said so?

Lady, I don't know

who you think you are, but this is my world.

And in my world...

Now it's my world.

I know how it sounds-- like I'm crazy.

The police have a video of me.

That's why I ran.

I swear, I didn't do it.

I believe you.

I've been where you are.

Alone, no one to turn to.

When I was a few years younger than you,

I thought my whole life was over.

What happened?

Somebody helped me.

I don't think anyone can help me.

I mean, a minute ago, I had a future.

And now, it's like someone just dropped a bomb

in the middle of everything good in my life.

I mean, who do you go to if you can't go to the cops?

Where are we going?

To see some old friends.

All right, let's do this. Money on the bar!

All right, last one.

There's no way.

Zip it.

Whoa!

Yes!

No!

Thank you for playing, fellas.

Now get out. The bar's closed.

Get out! Get out! Hey, sharpshooter!

Shut up!

Get over here.

Here.

Hey. You still hustling your customers?

Ah, you know, a lady's got to have some game.

We heard
