The Equalizer Page #6

That you'll take care of things?

Only I've been further embarrassed.

I have a new team.

It's simply a matter of time.

You're out of time.

New York had to shut down.

Nothing is moving.

My calls aren't being answered.

I've lost tens of millions today alone.

It will all be Well.

Stop the bleeding, or don't come back.

Go f*** yourself.

- Yes?

- Mr. McCall.

Nicolai.

Your life for theirs.

Whose?

You'll want to answer that.

Yes?

Mr. McCall?

Ralphie?

They came into the store.

Who's with you?

Jenny, Brian, Jay and Marcus.

What's going on? Wait...

Oh, my God.

No.

My men there will

kill them in 30 minutes.

Unless you're here in 29.

You know the place.

You can still smell

the burning gasoline.

He's close. Get ready.

Here comes the bus.

Just

checking on you, sentimental man.

Yeah?

You willing to die for your friends?

Are you?

When you see him, shoot him.

The bus is empty.

Kill one.

Kill one of them.

You wanna be first?

Where is that coming from?

I don't know.

I don't know!

They're gonna kill Ralphie, yo.

They're gonna f***ing kill him.

Too much for the man

He couldn't make it

Which way?

What?

The song. Which way

is it coming from?

The P.A. system's

in the security office.

Stand! Now.

Ooh, what's left of his world

The world he left behind

Not so long...

Mr. McCall? What's going on?

Who are these people?

Come here quickly!

I need your help.

Report. Where are you?

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

I... I can't understand you.

- Okay, I'm going down.

- Get down!

Psst!

Ralphie.

Get everybody out of here.

Don't leave anybody behind.

You use the service doors

in the back. Okay? Go.

Yeah?

Very clever, Mr. McCall.

I've decided to come and see you.

Yeah?

I'll be waiting for you.

Find the hostages.

Before I die alone

Let me have vengeance

Before I die alone

I will have vengeance

Before I die alone

Let me have vengeance

Before I die alone

I will have vengeance

Before I die alone

Before my time has gone

There's just one thing I have to do

Before the fire and stone

Before your world has gone

Have you some patience

'Cause I will have my vengeance

Before I die alone

Let me have vengeance

Before my time has gone

I will have vengeance

Before I die alone

Let me have vengeance

Before my time has gone

I will have vengeance

Before I die alone

Before I die alone

Let me have vengeance

I Will, I will

I will have vengeance

I will have vengeance

It's me, Mr. McCall. It's Ralphie.

You said not to leave

anybody behind.

Buck-ninety, my ass.

Come on.

Aah! Oh, f***! Unh.

You all right?

Aah. I've been shot.

Can you walk?

Yeah.

I'm gonna need you

to do something. Look at me.

Ralphie, focus. Focus.

Okay.

Can you make it

to the breaker box?

Forty seconds, exactly.

Forty seconds exactly.

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Who are you?!

Sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

I'd stay in there if I were you.

Who are you?

Everybody wants to know.

Gun's not there.

Just put the towel on.

What do you want?

I want the head of the snake.

So it's you.

And now you've come to kill me.

Yes.

And tell me,

what do you gain from my death?

Peace.

Peace is expensive to buy.

But I can purchase it

for you.

What is your price?

Are you there?

Guards, guards!

Hey!

Hey! Hey, Robert.

Hey.

I remembered you lived around here, so

I've been swinging by the last few days.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Pretty different, huh?

Night and day.

Yeah, well...

I get my stitches out

next week.

Um...

I'm reading now.

Oh, no.

Yeah. I know.

Very good.

I got it from a used book store. The guy

there recommended it to me. It's good.

I got a job too.

A real job with real hours and stuff.

Okay.

When they gave me

my stuff back at the hospital,

there was this envelope

with my name on it.

Almost $10,000 inside

and a ticket out of town.

Probably hush money, right?

Probably.

Who cares?

A new start.

Alina the singer.

Someone once told me

I could be whoever I wanted to be.

Body, mind...

Spirit.

I'm gonna miss your stories, Robert.

You got your own now.

Thank you.

For everything.

I'll catch you around.

Okay.

Bye, Robert.

Goodbye, Alina.

A change of scenes

A change of style

A change of hopes

With no regrets

A chance to watch

Admire the distance

Still occupied

Though you forget

Different colors, different shades

Over each, mistakes were made

I took the blame

Directionless, so plain to see

A loaded gun won't set you free

So you say

Feels like a close

It's coming to a'

F*** am I gonna do? r

It's too late to start over

This is the only thing I

Thing I know

Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is

Find different ways

To word the same old songs

Ever since I came along

From the day the song called

"Hi, My Name Is" dropped

Started thinking my name was "fault"

'Cause any time things went wrong

I was the one

Who they would blame it on

The media made me the equivalent

Of a modern-day Genghis Khan

Tried to argue

It was only entertainment, dog

Gangsta? No

Courageous balls

Had to change my style

They said I'm way too soft

And I sound like AZ and Nas

Out came the claws

And the fangs been out since then

But up until the instant

That I went against it

It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't

Amount to a sh*t-stain, I thought

No wonder I had to unlearn everything

My brain was taught

Do I really belong in this game?

I pondered

I just wanna play my part

Should I make waves or not?

So back and forth in my brain

The tug of war wages on

And I don't wanna seem ungrateful

Or disrespect the art form

I was raised upon

But sometimes you gotta take a loss

And have people rub it in your face

Before you get made pissed off

And keep plugging

It's your only outlet

And your only outfit

You know they're gonna talk about it

Better find a way to counter it quick

And make it, ah

Feel like I've already said this

A kabiilion-eighty times

How many times can I say the same

Thing different ways that rhyme?

What I really wanna say is if there's

Anyone else that can relate to my story

Bet you feel the same way I felt

When I was in the same place you are

When I was afraid to

I was afraid to make a single sound

Afraid I would never find a way out

Afraid I'd never be found

I don't wanna go another round

An angry man's power

Will shut you up

Trip wires fill this house

With tip-toed love

Run out of excuses for everyone

So here I am and I will not run

Guts over fear

The time is near

Guts over fear

I shed a tear

For all the times

I let you push me around

And let you keep me down

Now I got guts over fear

Guts over fear

Feels like a close

It's coming to

F*** am I gonna do?

It's too late to start over

This is the only thing I

Thing I know

I know what it's like

I was there once, single parents

Hate your appearance

Did you struggle to find your place

In this world?

And the pain spawns

All the anger on

But it wasn't till I put the pain

in songs Learned who to aim it on

That I made a spark
