The Equalizer 2 (2018)
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Writers: Richard Wenk, Michael Sloan, Richard Lindheim
Based on the television series created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim
Cast: Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Bill Pullman, Melissa Leo
Plot: After taking down Pushkin’s operations, Robert McCall works as a driver and assists the less fortunate with the help of his close friend and former DIA colleague Susan Plummer. Robert travels to Istanbul to retrieve a kidnapped 9-year-old.
With Susan’s assistance, Robert gathers information for Sam Rubinstein, an elderly Holocaust survivor looking to recover a painting of his long-dead sister. After Robert returns home to find that his apartment’s courtyard has been vandalized, he accepts an offer from Miles Whittaker, a troubled teen resident with artistic talent, to paint a mural on the walls. Robert also helps one of his passengers, a young woman named Amy, who shows signs of having been drugged and assaulted. He takes her to the hospital and returns to brutally beat the men who attacked her.
Susan and DIA officer Dave York, Robert’s former partner, are called to investigate the murder-suicide of an agency affiliate and his wife in Brussels. Susan is accosted in her hotel room and killed during what seems to be a robbery. Robert determines that the expertly delivered fatal knifing means that Susan was targeted and that the murder-suicide was also staged.
Robert reveals to Dave that he is still alive and informs him of his findings. When Robert is attacked by an assassin posing as a passenger, he kills the man and retrieves his mobile phone, discovering Dave’s number on its call list. Robert confronts Dave at his home. Dave confesses that soon after McCall’s supposed death, their unit was disbanded by the government. He and the rest of the team became contract killers. Dave says that he killed Susan because she would have figured out that he was behind the Brussels killings.
When Robert leaves Dave’s house, he confronts his teammates: Kovac, Ari, and Resnik. Before departing, he promises to kill them all to avenge Susan’s death. Resnik and Ari head to Susan’s house to kill her husband Brian, but Robert helps him escape. Dave and Kovac break into Robert’s apartment, where Miles is painting the walls. Monitoring the apartment via webcams, Robert directs Miles to hide in a secret safe room and makes a call to Dave to lure him away. When Miles emerges from hiding, Dave and Kovac capture him for leverage.
Dave deduces that Robert has gone to his evacuated stormy seaside hometown. Once there, Kovac, Ari, and Resnik search the town in hurricane winds while Dave positions himself on top of a watchtower. Robert stealthily subdues Dave’s teammates one by one. He impales Kovac with a harpoon fired from a speargun and kills Ari with two knives. Then, Robert leads Resnik to a trap in his deceased wife’s bakery, triggering a flour explosion that dispatches Resnik ignited by his own stun grenade.
Now alone, Dave reveals that he has Miles tied up and gagged in the trunk of his car. He fires several taunting shots to lure out Robert, but Robert foils his last shot by shooting the car’s tires to lower it. Dave, having been knocked down by the wind as it grows stronger, yells at Robert about failing to save Susan and attempting to save Miles. Robert surprises Dave on the tower. After a fight, Robert stabs him with his own knife in the abdomen in a similar fashion to Susan’s fate, slashes the back of Dave’s neck, and throws his body to the sea. He then rescues Miles, and the two retreat into his home to bind their wounds and wait for the hurricane to blow over.
Back in Boston, Susan’s information about Sam’s painting helps Robert reunite Sam with his long-lost sister. Miles finishes painting the mural on the apartment complex’s brick wall, returns to school, and focuses on his art. Robert’s neighbor, Fatima, notices Miles’ new mural. Having moved back into his old house, Robert looks out towards the sea.

[SPEAKING TURKISH]
[LAUGHTER]
My brother.
He say… you can find whatever you wish in Turkey.
Yeah?
Uh-huh.
How about a man who kidnapped his own daughter and took her away from her American mother?
An abusive man.
So not a real man.
No love for the child.
Just a need to punish his ex-wife, to take the one thing away from her that meant everything to her, with no intention of returning the child.
Do you think that…?
Excuse me.
Do you think I could find that man in Turkey?
Or maybe… on his way to Turkey?
I, uh… would not be looking for such a man.
It would be…
[SNIFFS]
…dangerous.
For you.
Men like him would think that.
And, God as my witness, I would give him a chance.
To stop.
To reconsider.
To think about the worst thing that could ever happen to him.
To imagine that.

Ah, very good.
Brought you something.
Ah, soup.
How’d that thing in Turkey turn out?
Ah. Happy ending.
Hmm.
No pun intended.
Well, I guess that means you owe me dinner.
I didn’t agree to pay for dinner. I, uh…
What, you gonna try and weasel out of it?
I’m not weaseling. I just…
Oh, no, no, no, my friend.
I don’t work for free.

How’s Brian?

He’s good.
Oh, he’s got a new book out.

Maybe I should read it, huh?
Oh, yeah.
You know, if geopolitics of Nepal prior to the 1816 Sugauli Treaty is your bag, definitely.
[CHUCKLES]
Friendship has its limits.
So does matrimony.
I haven’t read it yet.
Doubt I ever will.
You here on business?
Meetings.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Meetings, huh?
Well, birthdays are the hardest.
I know I always think of my brother on his.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES] I was, uh, folding laundry the other day, and, uh, I realized that I didn’t have any clothes left that Vivienne had ever seen.
I can’t say that’s a bad thing.
What?
She didn’t appreciate my taste in clothing, either.
I’d buy something, the next day it was missing.
I’d ask her about it, and she’d say she didn’t know what I was talking about, and…
But she’d act like she didn’t know what I was talking about.
I could tell. I mean, she’s:
“I don’t know what happened to those purple shirts that you used to buy.”
And then I’d put one on that she liked.
What?
I didn’t say anything.
SUSAN:
I’m sorry if I made a mistake coming to you on Vivienne’s birthday.
I just…
Robert, I’ve been thinking.
Maybe you should go back, huh?
It’s great, you helping all these random people and everything, but… it’s not gonna fill that hole in your heart.
Go home, huh?
Make peace with it.
That’s what Vivienne would have wanted.
Oh, hey.
[WHISTLES]
Always a gentleman.
That’s right.
Hey, I’m obligated to tell you these things, being I’m the only friend you got.
Mmm.
SUSAN: Airport, please.

It’s what they supposed to.
Ah, “supposed to do” and “will do” are two different things, Miles.
Yeah, but you live here, right?
That’s right.
I pay the rent, too.
You should let somebody else do this, then.
Like who?
Shit, I don’t know.
Anybody.
Huh?
Not a tenant.
You’re right.
I guess anybody could do it, but nobody does, Miles.
Ends up with everybody complaining because nobody did what anybody could’ve done or should’ve done to begin with.
Yeah.

You know they got, uh… they got painting companies around here.
I know they charge $600, $700 to do the job.

So yes, you will be hearing from us.
Thank you.

Keep it locked down until we get there, please.
DAVE [OVER COMPUTER]: I can’t find a file on this guy. When did he become one of ours?
I don’t know.
Upstairs kept him off the radar for some reason.

Oh. Oh, hey.
Oh, you look great.
It’s okay?

Um…
You need a tie, darling.

Great. That’s perfect.
All right, I’ll see you later.
Have fun, sweetheart.
Bye-bye.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to go over there and cross the T’s.
You want to come?
Oh, damn, and leave this shitty office? You know, Brussels has the best chocolates.
Mmm. Well, we’ll go.
We’ll find out.
SAM: Today, I broke a personal best: successive days alive.
All right.
Here, I got photographic evidence.
That’s the portrait of my sister, Magda.
I was nine.
The war came.
Like most families, we were separated.
My sister, Magda, and I were sent to different camps.
I never saw her again.
60 years later, I’m in Paris, and I see somebody auctioning my painting.
12 million. Can you imagine?
“You got to have proof,” they say, “to get it back.”
Now I got here the proof.
Wait till the judge sees this.
Looks like there’s coming a storm.
MAN: It’s time for your checkup, Sam.
Oh.
[CHUCKLES]
Hello, sweetheart.
[CHUCKLING]
He’s still obsessed with the painting.
Tried to help him years ago.
He said he, uh, had proof it was his even way back then.
He didn’t.
No record, no bill of sales.
He just keeps going back to court to hear the same thing.
Guess it gives him something to focus on, I suppose.
It helps when you have nobody left, yeah?
McCALL: I thought the reading went great.
BRIAN: Embarrassing, actually.
McCALL: No.
BRIAN: I signed two books.
That’s all.
[McCALL LAUGHING] Thank you.
You sure we can’t drop you off at the airport?
No, I’m fine, Brian.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for coming.

Good night.

Listen, do me a favor.
Yeah?

Oh, another dinner, then.
I’ll see what I can do.
Yeah?
I do fly off to Brussels tomorrow.

Oh, I am.

SAM:
I don’t know.
Seems to me the judge… he didn’t even pay any attention to me.
I mean, uh, he hardly looked at all the evidence I had.
Well, that’s it.
It was a very rare painting, Sam.
Maybe… maybe that’s the reason why it looks so familiar to you.
[♪♪♪]
This is my sister, Magda.
Was younger, but that’s the only picture survived.
McCALL: Mmm.
My uncle commissioned the portrait as a gift for her 12th birthday.
Was a young artist, just beginning, but, oh, you should have seen it.
Not just the resemblance, but a spirit that shone through it.
It glowed, you know, like a beacon.
[CHUCKLES] “My little brother,” she’d say, “my Sammy.”
[CHUCKLES]
I could never protect her.
To lose her twice…
I can’t imagine.
McCALL [OVER PHONE]: Hello, Susan.
SUSAN: Hey. I had no idea you were such an art lover.
That information you wanted just came in.
Kind of surprising.
Okay. I’m sending it to you right now.
McCALL: Good.
Yeah?
Hey.
Calbert’s bank records are fine.
Texts, emails.
No marital discord.
No girlfriends, no boyfriends, no lovers.
Not even an inappropriate message to a coworker.
And what about the wife?
[CHUCKLING]
Oh, come on, Dave.
Women fuck around, too.
I mean, think about it.
When’s the last time you sent your wife flowers, hmm?
Noted. Noted.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING] Data on Calbert’s hard drive just came in.
No, we’ll talk about it on the plane.
I want to get out of here as soon as we can.

Not even a watch, and…
Except for this.

What did the agency say?
Uh, they said… they’d do everything in their power.
They’re working with Interpol.

Things to remember as the storm continues its march northward. We saw what Frances did in the southeast part of the country. It appears to be moving here as slowly as it left the Gulf Coast. That is what worries meteorologists now. Even as the storm is moving up the Eastern Seaboard, every city and town that has been hit…

They pushed number 16.
She didn’t have to.
They knew what floor she was on.
They find ’em?
Pieces of them.
Couple of tweakers.
With sheets as long as my arm.
My good arm, anyway.
Gas explosion.
At least that’s what they’re calling it.
What do you call it?
Tying up loose ends.

No virtue.

You need a job?
Good luck.
You need medical insurance?
See the VA.

But most of the time, it goes unpunished.
This ain’t one of them times.
