Previously on The Equalizer... What do you know
- that you're not telling us? - What are you talking about?
ROBYN: Dante got hit with
one of those syringes.
DANTE [slurring]: Robyn has such a great smile.
Doesn't she have a great smile, Harry?
HARRY: Yeah, she does.
Hey, what else was in that stuff?
A very powerful truth serum.
HARRY: Breathe. Breathe.
Come on.
[gasps] Oh, God. Oh, God.
You okay?
Yeah, never better.
[saxophone playing]
[loud chatter]
Hey, man, watch where you're going.
ANNOUNCER: This is the Queens-bound E train

This is the Queens-bound E train going to Jamaica Center.
Yo. You stepped on my kicks.
Get out of my face before you get...[train approaching]

WOMAN: Oh, my God, what happened?
MAN: Oh, no. MAN 2: Did you see anything?
Did that, did that guy just jump?
MAN 3: Hey, somebody call 911!
[birds singing]
Mmm.
Y'all sending me to work with lunch today?
[giggles] I would,
but the rest of this is for dinner later,
and you know how Harry eats.
Especially when it comes to your cooking.
Well, what can I say? The man has exceptional taste.
[laughs] No,
these are for Mr. Otis.
I'm going to visit him
in the nursing home again, and this time,
Dee is gonna go with me.
[laughs]: You okay?
DELILAH: Yeah, no, it's just,
I barely remember Mr. Otis, that's all.
ROBYN: You were a little girl
- last time you saw them. - DELILAH:Yeah.
But Mr. Otis and Miss Bella,
they were more than neighbors.
Back in the day, they were family.
VI: They surely were.
Ever since Miss Bella died, he's been so lonely.
I know he'll appreciate a visit.
Well, I'm glad y'all are doing that.
It's important that we not forget our elders.
You know, you're welcome to come with us, sweetheart.
Sounds like a plan. Why not?
BOTH: Yay.[phone rings]
Hey.
Okay.
Got it. I'll be there.
- I'm sorry. - VI: Don't you worry about it.
Next time.
Well, please tell Mr. Otis I said hi.
VI: You know I will.
[soft chuckle]
SARA: The police think that my husband's death two days ago
was an open-and-shut case of suicide...
...but it wasn't.
And why do you think that?
Michael and I have been trying to have a baby for years.
Being a father meant everything to him, and...
then our miracle happened.
We named Mary after Michael's mother,
who raised him in the Kitchen.
- Hell's Kitchen? - Yes.
My husband was a...
"pull yourself up by the bootstraps" type.
You see, "quit" wasn't in his DNA.
So, if it wasn't an accident, you think it was foul play?
I don't know, I just...
I know it wasn't suicide.
Well, was there anything else going on in his life?
Mary and I were Michael's first love,
but second was Beltany Realty.
Michael built Beltany into one of the biggest
real estate development companies in the city.
I can only imagine that took a lot of blood,
- sweat and tears. - It did,
but, um...
Michael was always really great at keeping his work
and private life separate, so...
if anything was going on there, I-I wouldn't know about it.
[crying]: I lost the love of my life.
And Mary will never know her father.
Don't worry.
I'll look into it.
Thank you.
WOMAN:Bonita?
- The hell? - Hey, girl, how you doing?
DANTE [slurring]: Hey, girl.
How you doing? Robyn has such a great smile.
Doesn't she have a great smile?
ROBYN [over phone]: What's he saying?
[phone ringing]
Yo, Dante.
- What's up, man? - Hey, Harry.
I just had a weird...
Well, remember when I got hit with that syringe?
[chuckles]: Uh, yeah.
You had me, uh, a little freaked out there for a minute.
Right. So, I recall being in your car,
but I'm a bit hazy on the rest.
Uh, did I say anything...
odd?
About Robyn, maybe?
So, you, like, don't remember that part?
No. W-What did I say about her?
You know, it was, like, very much about your feelings.
Look, I think if you want clarity,
I think you know who to ask.
[door closes] Oh, incoming.
Call you back.
[phone beeps off]
Yeah, what do you got, Harry?
What do I got? Well...
Michael Conway was one of NYC's hottest
young real estate developers.
He and his partner rescued
the old Ensler Hotel, they remodeled it,
and now it's, like, the hottest spot in town.
Real estate development in the Big Apple,
I mean, that's not stressful at all.
Yeah, a lot to coordinate,
and more things go wrong than right.
HARRY: That's the kind of stress
that could really push somebody over the edge.
Yeah, I know Sara doesn't think her husband could do it,
but she wouldn't be the first to believe that, either.
ROBYN:Michael's profile speaks of a fighter.
Someone with a lot to live for.
Also, I know what it's like to lose a father
and not have any answers.
I think we should kick the tires on this one.
Thought you might say that, so...
I pulled the CCTV footage from the platform.
MEL: We already went over all the witness statements.
A few said it looked like Michael jumped.
But there's no real good camera angle to tell.
We'll keep scrubbing through the footage
and, you know, maybe we'll get lucky.
What about his business partner?
Unlike Michael,
Hunter Roberts has no social media presence
to speak of.
He seems really private.
So, he won't talk to just anyone.
I'll need to create a cover.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Hold on. Honey, right there.
Do you see that guy?
Hap cat with the shades?
Human nature makes you at least look back, right?
HARRY: Unless you already know what happened.
MEL: Mm-hmm. Also,
he never got on a train or left the station.
This was the last place he was seen, and then, he's gone.
I mean, that doesn't make any sense.
Well, maybe there's another exit
that we can't see from here, but if we went there, we could.
I mean, it's a little thin,
- but what have we got to lose? - Okay.
Wait, wait, where are you going?
To put on my subway shoes.
These are Cavalli.
Right. Obviously.
[door opens]
ROBYN: Thank you for meeting me, Mr. Roberts.
Uh, please, call me Hunter.
Sorry.
Can't get up.
I hope that was worth it, Hunter.
I just flew back
from skiing in Aspen.
Broke my fibula.
So, The New York Globe.
- How can I help? - Yes, I'm doing a story
on Michael's life and tragic death,
so I was hoping to talk to those closest to him.
What would you like to know?
Well, why would someone with seemingly everything
throw it all away?
I wish I knew.
Michael was a great friend.
More importantly, an amazing husband and father.
I really admired him.
Well, anything at work
that could've triggered this?
It could be off the record, if you like.
Right before I left for vacation,
we closed on this, uh, big project
that would've turned the Vestige Apartments
into the biggest homeless living center in the city's history.
It was a pet project for Michael, a dream come true.
Why was it so important to Michael?
Well, he always fought for the underdog.
He was one himself, growing up in Hell's Kitchen.
But, as is often the case with these deals,
it's never done until the paperwork is signed.
Investors got cold feet.
I told Michael
that he should call me.
He tried to handle it himself...
The whole thing fell apart.
The morning of the accident, he sent me a text
saying that he was sorry.
Next thing I know, he's dead.
ASSISTANT [over intercom]: Sorry to interrupt, sir,
but the board meeting's about to start.
Of course. Well,
thank you for your time.
And again, sorry for your loss.
I appreciate that. Thank you.

See this, right here? This is why New York works.
'Cause no matter your-your background

you got to ride the subway, right?
And it forces you to deal with one another.
And the last time you rode the subway was...?
Remember me, your husband? [clears throat]
Too many germs, - but I love the idea of it. - Yeah.
All right, uh... this is where he disappeared.
[phone ringing]
[exhales] It's Rob. All right.
Hey, what's up?
Hunter said that a deal Michael championed,
the Vestige Apartments project, went south.
Thinks that might've driven him to jump.
Oh, man. That would be tragic.
I also saw a maintenance order
that Michael requested the day he died
to hang a photo in his office.
Why would he do that if he was thinking about suicide?
Exactly. Something's off here.
All right, I'll look into that Vestige project
when I get back to the Sanctum.
We're just tracking down a lead at the subway.
Got it. Circle back when you're done.
MEL: Harry. Hey.
A maintenance ladder the MTA uses
to go down into the tunnel.
Maybe he went down through that door.
Huh. You know, not a big fan of rats.
Okay.

Ran your prints, Clay Johnson.
No priors, no address, no taxes.
And found in your possession, the wallet of a dead man.
I got his stuff 'cause I pickpocketed him
right before he died.
So you didn't kill him?
I'm a hustler, not a killer.
- You need to do better than that. - Better than what, the truth?
ROBYN: I dug deeper into you.
You served in Afghanistan.
Explains how you could hold your own with my friends.
Yeah, they got lucky.
But you didn't.
You lost your eyesight in an ammunition accident.
You know my past, but you don't know me.
ROBYN: I know you're not telling us everything about yourself.
Or what happened on that platform.
Hey, uh, what time is it?
1:30. Why?
Okay.
I pick my marks based off of social status.
I target only the well-to-do.
I could hear the steps from his Italian leather soles.
[footfalls echoing]
Much different than the cheap rubber ones everyone else wears.
[grunts]
Hey, watch where you going!
After I touched him, I kept moving.
That's when I heard it.[electricity buzzing]
A Taser charge.
Followed by screams.
[screaming]
Brakes from the train, people running.
It was crazy.
I get that your senses are heightened,
but you can hear shoe soles and electric charges?
[chuckles]
The two associates of yours that popped me...
The guy smelled of Japanese denim and hand sanitizer.
And the lady, well,
she fights well for a sniper.
When she flipped me,
I could feel the callus on her trigger finger.
And you, Detective.
You box?
I've laced up the gloves a bit.
I can hear your breathing.
You really should get that deviated septum checked out.
Look, I feel terrible about this guy dying,
I really do, but I was just
trying to make a buck and eat, that's all.
DANTE: What do you think?
I think it's a big jump.
From stealing wallets to killing someone?
No violent past, no previous record.
My gut tells me he didn't do it.
He was at the murder and came in contact with the victim.
So we got enough to hold him.
Clay asked you about the time.
Seemed in a rush to go somewhere.
Cut him loose.
See where it leads.
Mel can shadow him.
Sounds like a plan.
I'll cut him loose.
[phone ringing]
Talk to me, Harry.
I checked Michael's phone records.
And he called Daily News crime reporter Halle Dodson
30 minutes before he died. Whatever he told her
could be the key to unlocking this whole thing.
Okay, I'll head to the Daily News offices
and speak with the reporter.
I'll call ahead, make sure you get in.
How's your day going, Detective?
It's going well, Captain. Yourself?
Mm. That depends.
Who was the civilian woman in the box with you earlier?
And why was she in there
while you were questioning a suspect?
Let me tell you who it better not be.
This Equalizer friend of yours.
'Cause I've heard the rumors.
And vigilantes
don't fly here on my watch.
With all due respect, Captain--
You know, I thought we had turned a corner, Detective.
Let's keep it that way.
Yes, Captain.
[siren wailing]
[indistinct chatter]
No wonder he asked about the time.
He has a meeting-- some guy in a car.
- Where is it? - Where's my money?
Can you see who it is?
CLAY: Don't worry about the drive, it's close.
No. I have to get nearer.
MAN: You're wasting my time.
- CLAY: I'm not stupid. - Let me try something.
I give you that drive, what's stopping you from taking off?
HARRY: Drive? Like a thumb drive?
[engine starts]
I couldn't get the driver, but I got a partial plate.
Sending now.
Usually, people call ahead
and don't show up unannounced.
I'm so sorry. We'll, uh...
We'll know for next time.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
I think Mr. Otis has gotten over his depression.
[chuckles]
VI: Mr. Otis?[knocking]
Viola.
- What a surprise. - Oh.
Ah. Oh.
[chuckles]
Oh, so good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
Do you remember my great niece?
- Delilah, Robyn's daughter. - Uh-huh.
This is the one with the braces
- and pigtails? - That is correct.
- All grown up now. - It's good to see you.
We-we brought you - something, sir. - Ah.
I don't know, just a little barbecue.
Ooh, good.
Some home cooking. Thank you, Viola.
You are so welcome.
Wow, would you mind
putting this in the kitchen for me, please?
- Of course, no problem. - Okay.
Oh, my goodness, Mr. Otis.
Look at these arms, they're looking awfully ashy.
- Where's your lotion? - Over there
by the desk.
[clears throat]
VI: Mr. Otis, what are all these bills?
Oh, I'm not sure what they are.
They look like credit card statements.
Bella always handled all that stuff.
But I'll get around to it eventually.
Miss Bella ran a tight ship.
Oh, she sure did.
And I miss her.
I know you do.
- I do, too. - Mm-hmm.
Miss Bella was the first one to give me a press and curl.
Lord, she'd burn my ear and say,
"Hush now, baby, beauty feels no pain."
[laughter]
Look who has company.
These are old friends of mine.
Well, hello, old friends.
Mind if I steal Mr. Otis for some bingo?
I only play one card, for Bella.
It will be quick.

Okay.

Mr. Otis?
Mind if I open up these bills while you're gone?
Make sure there's nothing outstanding.
Oh, I don't mind. Go at it.
[door opens]
[door closes]
What is Mr. Otis buying that could add up
to this stack of bills?
HARRY: Hey, so I called the paper and Halle told them
that she was taking a leave of absence,
which I thought was a little odd,
so I ran her credit card, and it turns out she bought
a $4,000 ticket to Spain
- leaving tonight. - That's a lot of money for a reporter's salary.
Someone or something must've spooked her.
I'm sending you her home address.
[jackhammer banging]
I followed him to a crappy lot.
How's that partial plate going?
HARRY: Yeah, it's gonna take a sec.
I'm running a numbering sequences
on a blue Oldsmobile.
There's only 3,000,016 possibilities.
Looks like he has a stash place.
He hid a thumb drive in there.
That's got to be the thumb drive he
and the wheelman were talking about.
Grab Clay and that thumb drive and let's figure out
- what's going on here. - Hey, lady, can you spare a buck?
Hey!

DANTE: I checked with neighbors, nobody saw anything.
And there are no security cameras here.
So anyone could come in and out without being detected.
I also spoke to the coroner about Michael.
He found two burn marks on his back,
- compliments of a taser. - Taser?
So Michael was shocked,
then he fell on the tracks and died.
It was made to look like a suicide.
Clay was telling the truth.
This was murder.
We're looking at a double homicide now.
There is something big here
and a conspiracy to stop it.
Yeah, and this poor woman paid the price
just for speaking to Michael.
Someone has to answer for this.
We still got eyes on Clay?
No. He's in the wind.
And we have another problem.
My new captain, Watkins...
Let's just say she's not a fan of the Equalizer.
So we might have to find another way to operate.
I liked it better when you didn't have a captain.
Our arrangement isn't easy to understand.
I get that.
So moving forward,
we'll be more stealthy,
less public.
Careful.
People may start to talk.
Look, um,
can we grab a drink?
There are a few things I need to talk to you about.
Just tell me when and where.[phone ringing]
Yeah, Harry?
HARRY: Okay, this is only a theory, all right?
But what if Michael downloaded
something, you know, really damning
onto that thumb drive
and was about to give it to the reporter.
Which is why they were both killed.
And then Clay picked the thumb drive off Michael,
found out what was on it, and then tried to sell it
to the guy in the blue Oldsmobile.
HARRY: Whatever Michael put on it,
people are obviously willing to kill for.
Yeah, so it must be valuable.
Michael was involved in big real estate deals and projects.
Millions on the line.
Like that project he was trying to save.
Yeah, about that-- I looked into
that Vestige homeless project,
and, you know, it's a go.
They-they break ground in a few days.
So why would Hunter lie about it?
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
What's up? You okay?
MEL: Yeah, I just...
I just feel for Clay.
The guy's a thief, honey.
He's just trying to survive.
Okay, but so are a lot of people,
and they're not all out breaking the law.
Honey, it's not so black-and-white.
I mean, think about it-- serving your country,
losing your eyesight like that,
coming home to no one.
He probably doesn't even get enough disability to live.
Beautiful, sensitive and smarts--
you're the whole package, baby.
Well, yeah, but what are you talking about?
I-I haven't been able to find much info on Clay.
Right? But he was blinded in the military,
which means he must be receiving disability checks.
But where do they go if he's got no home?
Look at that.
To Rene Johnson.
Clay Johnson's daughter.
I'll go over there, see if Clay's there
or if Rene knows something.
- Text me the address. - Yeah.

Who are you? Really?
Sara hired me to look into Michael's death.
Now, why did you tell me the Vestige project
didn't go through when it did?
I'm calling security.
Listen, these people are not gonna stop
until they are stopped.
Do you really want to look over your shoulder
for the rest of your life?
Michael killed the Vestige housing project.
He found out who won the bid. He knew they'd ruin it.
How?
Most construction companies are legit.
Some still have mob ties,
and they win the job,
even though they put in the highest bids.
So the fix is in?
Yeah.
But with all the different agencies,
it's almost impossible to tell who's on the take.
And these construction companies?
They milk projects dry.
Overcharging,
causing union problems, supply issues.
So Michael was gonna expose this,
and it got him killed.
Begged him not to do it.
I told him it was just the price of doing business in the city.
That's why he sent me the "I'm sorry" text.
And your leg?

They broke it
to make sure that I played ball.
I feared for my life.
Had to convince them

I smelled it three times in my life.
Once on a train to boot camp,
then in the car the first time I met Mo for the exchange.
And days earlier in the station
right before Michael died.
[train horn blaring]
Mo went right by me on the way to Michael.
Then I heard the taser charge.
Michael was dead.
I don't think that's Mr. Otis's size.
WILL: What are you doing, Lindsay?
Uh... ordering some gifts for my favorite seniors.
Do you always do that with Mr. Otis's credit card number?
This is all a simple misunderstanding.
Don't you even try it.
These people trusted you. Shame on you.
Let's go, Lindsay. Police are on their way.
[Mr. Otis laughs]
Bingo. One card. [laughs]
Oh, thank you so much
for coming to visit me.
And don't worry about me, I'm just fine.
I can see that you are.
I'll come again soon.
Please do.
Bye-bye. Bye.
Ladies. That it? Ha-ha!
He is living his best life. [chuckles]
Oh, yes, he is.
And if you ever put me in one of these places,
I will kill you.
Message received.
Mo killed Michael himself.
Once we learned that Mo was involved,
I checked the footage outside the subway
at the time of Michael's death,
and right there was Mo's eyesore of a car.
ROBYN; So we have the how of the case,
we just need the thumb drive to prove the rest.
And we need to figure out where Clay and Mo are meeting
so we can save Rene in time.
Wait a minute.
Mo's car is an eyesore
because Mo must have been in an accident.
Okay. Where are you going with this?
I'm gonna throw a Hail Mary here
and run accident insurance reports
in the tri-state area in the last 30 days.
Cross-reference it with Mo's license plate, and...
[computer chimes]
Well, look at that.
Jolian Blevins reported an accident
in a parking lot at Pier 88 nine days ago.
That's right next to one of Mo's construction sites.
And, oh, yeah, Clay just showed up.
Okay, we're on our way.
You guys, it's across town.
We're never gonna make it.
You got the thumb drive?
You got my daughter?
[footsteps scuffled0
[whimpers] Go. Come on.
Dad, what's happening?
It's gonna be okay, baby girl.
It's all there.
- Kill them. - Dad!
RENE: No!
Don't! Don't, don't!
Dad!
[Rene screaming]
HARRY: I tapped into a security cam.
It's grainy and the light's low,
but...
RENE [crying out]: Dad! No!
HARRY: Oh, man, this is not good.
When you're done, dump the bodies
in the furnace over here.
CLAY: Mo, you don't think I made another copy
just in case I didn't make it back?
No.
I don't think you'd play with your daughter's life.
But if you did, we'll find that person,
and we'll kill them, too.
Guys, we're-we're not gonna make it.
Clay and Rene are about to die.
ROBYN: Harry, you said there was some low light.
Cut the power.
Cut the pow-- Why? Cut the--
Right. Cut the power.
WESTIE: Hey.
WESTIE 2: Where'd it go?
WESTIE 3: - I can't see anything. - What's going on?
MO: Everyone relax.
WESTIE 2: What's going on?
Doesn't matter, we gotta find them!
You see anything?
I told you I'd see you again real soon, didn't I?
No tricks to save you this time.
I wouldn't bet on that.
OFFICER: NYPD!
[gunfire]
[cries out]
Get down. Get your hands up right now, right now!
OFFICER 2: Put your gun down now!
OFFICER: Everybody's under arrest.
He's trying to destroy the thumb drive
in the furnace. Don't do it!
What the hell? Where is it?
CLAY: Looking for this?
OFFICER: Face down!
Come on. Let's go.
DANTE: Give me the other hand.
Well, with that thumb drive and Clay's testimony,
you're going to jail for a long time.
And if you ask me, you're getting off easy.
What do you care about any of this?
Because a little girl lost her father.
But at least one day she'll know he's a hero
for stopping a dirtbag like you.
[scoffs]
Let's go.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Get away from me. CLAY: I'm so sorry.
I really am. Sorry?
I was just kidnapped because of you.
I know.
But believe it or not, I did all of this
to help you.
Help me?
I understand you're upset, baby girl,
but I want to fix this.
Yeah? Well, you're ten years too late for that.
Just leave me alone.
She'll forgive you one day.
Or not.
You know, that was pretty smart,
turning the lights out, though.
I was trying to give you a chance to get away.
Swiping that thumb drive back from Mo,
that was pretty smooth.
[chuckles] Yeah.
All right, you guys be good.
Hey, Clay.
Listen, let us help you.
Let us help you get a job,
give you the community that you deserve. I don't know.
Think I'll take my chances out there.
Why?
'Cause out there I answer to no one but myself.
Nobody to let down
or be let down by.
It's safer that way.
♪ Truth is I wouldn't come back if I could... ♪
I feel like we failed Clay.
Sometimes we can't save everyone,
but we can still make a difference.
DANTE: Rene's still alive because of us.
Hunter doesn't have to look over his shoulder,
Sara gets closure.
I get that. It's why I love what we do.
It's just, I have a special place in my heart
for those like me who served and came back
and felt all alone.
I mean, I came back to family...
...and it was still hard.
But I-I can't imagine
coming home and having no one.
Hey, you all right?
Yeah.
Actually, no.
Um...
I just got news that an old friend of mine
who I served with, Zoe,
she was struggling, and, um...
...she took her own life.
HARRY: Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry.
I-I didn't... I-I didn't know.
I didn't want to talk about it.
I didn't feel ready to talk about it till now.
There's just, there's too many
Zoes and Clays out there.
So I'm gonna start a veterans support group,
and I am going to try to help those who feel alone.
And I'm gonna give them what we have here:
a family.
That's what I'm talking about.
I love that, babe.
Great idea.
Anything you need, let us know.
Appreciate it.
[baby fussing]
Sara.
I came here to tell you that I spoke with the D.A.'s office.
They are looking into the corruption from Mo Brown
all the way to City Hall.
Heads are gonna roll because of the info
that Michael provided.
That's great to hear.
And Hunter and I will keep Michael's dream alive
and finish the Vestige homeless living facility
with new contractors, and the city behind it.
[sighs]
Thank you.
No, thank you.
You've given Mary and I...
some closure.
Is this Mary?
[chuckles] It is.
Would you like to hold her?
Oh, sure. [chuckles]
Oh, come here, come here.[baby fussing]
Oh, I know,
I know, huh? [sighs]
Hi.
I've heard so much about you.
I hear your daddy was a very special guy.
So was mine.
You know, we are the lucky ones.
Yes. Hi, beautiful.
