04x09 - The Big Take

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Equalizer...

DANTE:
Randall Grayle is a cop k*ller.

I personally had to tell
a fellow officer's

four-year-old daughter that her father

wasn't coming home
after he clashed with Randall.

[SCREAMING]

[g*nsh*t]

Where's Randall?

You let him go

to save me.

- Dante...
- You said you'd be here.

He was right there,
but I let him get away.

You and I need to talk.

Does McCall know about this?

Nope, and you can't tell her.

Or Mel. Especially not Mel.

- [GRUNTS]
- [g*nsh*t]

All those times I wasn't there
for you, for your mother.

There's something you need to know.

You have a brother.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

OFFICER: Let's go, ladies.

Keep moving.

Check it out, man.

What the hell?

Call 911!

Ma'am, you okay?

[GRUNTS]

Everyone line up!

- Got him.
- Who are you? What do you want...

Quiet.

Play it safe and go back to the prison

or make a run for it.
I know what I'd do.

Oh, dude, dude, dude.
Let's get out of here.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

All right, you called, I'm here.

Now, what is so important
that you're making me miss

my family weekend at the beach?

These three

were caught on body cameras

hitting a prison transport yesterday.

- Who'd they break out?
- Guy named Leon Katz.

And this concerns me... why?

Vitiligo. Pattern on his

liberator's hand matches a con
the agency has its eyes on.

Vanessa Lett.

She's wanted in connection to
a string of heists in Miami.

Authorities believe
they were led by the guy

you asked me to look out for.

The one that stole
those vintage coins last year.

Randall Grayle.

You asked me to flag any
connection to him, and here it is.

You think Grayle might be
involved in the breakout?

I'm sure as hell gonna find out.

What exactly did this guy do
to land on your naughty list?

He k*lled a cop in cold blood.

Dante promised his wife and kid justice.

The point is, I messed up last time.

I'm the reason he's not behind bars,

which I intend to change.

[PHONE CAMERA CLICKS]

I'm gonna send these to Harry.

Okay.

Maybe he can ID the others.

I appreciate the heads-up.

[PHONE RINGS]

What you got, Harry?

M.E.L. ran a biometric analysis
of the photos Fisk sent.

He's right about Vanessa Lett.

As far as her association
with Grayle, check your phone.

[PHONE CHIMES]

HARRY: So, this photo
was taken two years ago

right before a bank heist in
Miami. She was his hired muscle.

- And the other two?
- I'm still working on them.

Well, Grayle may have worked
with Vanessa,

but that doesn't mean he was
involved in the prison break.

I need more before I go to Dante.

All right, our escaped felon, Leon Katz,

he was doing 12 years for tax evasion

on the fortune that he made designing

super-vaults for the ultra-wealthy.

Now we're getting somewhere.

M.E.L.: Suspect two identified.

Damian Ellis.

I thought Mel was at
her veterans' group today?

Yeah, yeah, no, she is. That
was M.E.L. doing Mel's voice.

She's been doing it since this
morning. I thought I fixed it.

Apparently not.

Yeah, I know. I got to get that sorted

before she gets back.

What came up on Damian?

Black hat hacker.

Various run-ins with authorities.

Questionable fashion sense.

Sounds like a bad guy version
of you, Harry.

Oh, please, I'm a unicorn.

This guy was interrogated in 2019

for suspected hacking of a

jewelry store's alarm system,
and the robbery

- was pulled off by...
- Randall Grayle.

Dante's friend, Officer Jack Lowry,

was k*lled in that heist.

So, two associates of Grayle

break out a safe designer?

I mean, my money is on Grayle
pulling the strings here.

That's enough to take to Dante.

Keep me posted on anything else.

Yup. [FISK CLEARS THROAT]

How long you been standing there?

Long enough to know you need to work on

your situational awareness.

Tell me more about the e-mail you sent.

What makes you think that the
malware was the work of one guy?

Similar style of coding.

More math equation than source code.

Complex, but the same.

M.E.L. found a data diode

with a similar coding style.

Whoever wrote this has got
an air-gapped system...

right here.

Budapest?

Look, if you can get inside the building

and, uh, clone the hard drive,

I bet you can figure out
this guy's endgame.

Good. We leave tonight.

[LAUGHS] Wait, wait, no, no, no.

I-I-I can't just take off for Hungary,

especially without telling my wife.

Need I remind you that
what we're working on

isn't yet sanctioned by the CIA?

And even if it was,
you'd be the last person

they'd want working on it, which means,

if we get caught, we go to prison,

along with anyone else
who's in the know.

Is that something
you'd want for your wife?

No, of course not.

Then come up with a cover story for Mel,

pack clothes for two days,
preferably something

that can't be seen
from the space station.

[SIGHS]

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

How is he?

DANTE: Still in a coma.

A few days ago, he showed
signs of improvement.

Now, they're saying they're not sure

when they can bring him out of it.

I'm sorry, Dante.

Look, I know this is not the best time,

but I need to tell you something.

I received intel this morning.

Randall Grayle is back in town.

- Are you're sure it's Grayle?
- No.

But I put out some feelers
in the intelligence community.

We think he was involved in an att*ck

on a prison transport yesterday.

The guy they broke out,
some dude named...

- Leon Katz.
- Yeah.

He designs super-vaults
for the rich and famous.

If it is Grayle,
he's planning another heist.

Dante, I know how much

this means to you, and I know

I let you down the last time.

But this time, we're gonna get him.

No matter what it takes.

[PHONE RINGS]

You got something, Harry?

HARRY [OVER PHONE]:
Yeah, maybe a bead on Grayle.

Vanessa used one of her aliases
to rent a car.

Its GPS shows she just pulled into

a storage company in Queens.

- Is that...
- Leon Katz.

These are vault schematics.

That one's empty.

If there was any question
this was Grayle,

it's just been answered.

Once he gets what he wants,

he won't hesitate to get rid of you.

All right, listen up.
We pull off this job,

we're set for life.

In and out. No room for mistakes.

You catch any heat,

you deal with it fast.

And if any of you screw this up,
I'll deal with you.

Any questions?

All right, then. Let's get to it.

Uncle Marcus.

Kayla, Helena.

So nice to see you.

- Hey, Marcus.
- Hey.

Sorry to barge in on you like this.

No, you're always welcome.

Carlos called me.

He said you told him Jack's
k*ller might be back in town.

Is that true?

Yeah.

I think so.

[EXHALES]

You'd think, after all this time,

I wouldn't still be so emotional.

KAYLA: It's just not right.

Dad's gone, and he's
still running around.

You're gonna get him this time, right?

I promise.

What's the latest on Grayle?

Got here as fast as I could, but
I got locked out of my Tesla,

and then I hit every red light.

M.E.L.: Suspect three identified.

Roma Santos.

Your bot stole my voice?

And it probably locked me out
of my Tesla.

This thing's trying to replace me.

Listen, I-I reset it,

but she just... she keeps
changing it back.

MEL: I'm just kidding, babe. [CHUCKLES]

But if she comes for the queen,
she best not miss.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

We got your message. You okay?

I had to get out of the office.

Officer Lowry's widow and daughter

heard the Grayle buzz
and surprised me with a visit.

Please tell me you guys
have found something.

ROBYN: Well, we ID'd
the third member of his team.

Roma Santos.
Accomplished grand larcenist.

Specializes in black market jewelry.

A hacker, a jewel thief,
and big-time muscle.

Grayle is definitely
gearing up for a job.

What about the tube we
found in the storage unit?

Check out the number
on the bottom of this tube.

DANTE: 64HP.

What is it? Model number?

Just ran a decryption program

on Leon's business computer.

There are no digital copies

of those vault schematics,
but there is this.

There.

It's matched to a client.

Huxton Pope. The
billionaire art collector.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, he opened up
his own museum a few years back.

DANTE: Makes sense Grayle
would target a museum.

Question is, what is he after?

I think I know why.

Pope recently acquired a necklace

that used to belong to Queen Victoria.

It's worth several hundred million,

and that's just for the gems.

Payday large enough to retire on.

Yeah, explains why Grayle
would break Leon out of prison.

MONIQUE: I'm sorry, Mom.
Can you please come get me?

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, I've got an extortion case

that could use another set of eyes.

Restaurant b*rned down after the owner

refused to pay for protection.

I'm actually tied up
on another case right now.

I checked your caseload.
Didn't see anything pressing.

Well, this one wasn't
officially allocated.

Hmm. I see.

This case you're working
wouldn't have anything to do

with Randall Grayle, would it?

I saw that the Lowry family

came to visit this morning.

The Queensboro prison escape.

I think it may be connected to Grayle.

I know what you're going to say...

That Jack Lowry was a friend of yours

and you're too close to this?

Captain, I know Grayle
better than anyone.

And you also know that I'm right.

That's why you were
less than forthcoming.

And it's also why
I'm putting someone else

on Grayle.

And you are working this
extortion case with me today.

And only this case.

Are we clear, Detective?

Yes, Captain.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Bad news. Watkins just sidelined me.

What happened?

She recognized the Lowry family

and made the Grayle connection.
Point is,

- I'm banned from the case.
- ROBYN: It's okay.

- We'll handle it.
- DANTE: About that...

I just got a tip
on Grayle's man, Damian Ellis.

He has a girlfriend named Kassidy.

They tend to get into it
from time to time.

Neighbors have filed numerous
complaints for fighting.

Last one came in three hours ago.

So, she might be with Damian now.

Or at least know where he is.

If we get Damian,
maybe we can get to Grayle.

ten out of ten times.

What if he decided

HARRY: Dante goes down there,
takes down the crew.

Grayle still goes free.

And Dante loses his job...

for nothing.

We have to fix this.

I owe him.

Yeah, we both do.

The question is how.

I know Leon never kept
copies of his vault schematics.

But someone had to build it, right?

I guess.

Why, you have an idea?

Maybe.

But it's risky.

The Pope Museum

is a private collections museum
containing some of the most

valuable items in all of New York.

One of them, our necklace,

will be found inside of
Pope's private display vault

on the top floor.

Now there's only one way
to execute this.

Vanessa.

You will go in as a caterer.

A political fundraiser is being
held for New York City elites,

and the host is the
museum owner himself...

Huxton Pope.

You will have to get past Pope
and reach the elevator

outside of the party.

And this is the only elevator
that goes to the vault?

Exactly.

Damian, while Vanessa's doing that,

you will enter as security.

It's a large shindig,
which means additional detail.

So no one's gonna question a new face.

Take that tablet.

_

Once you've hacked
into the secure Wi-Fi,

you will head
to the security room.

You will find it
on the second floor.

Expect that room
to be guarded both outside...

...and in.

Once inside, you will tap
into the mainframe.

Roma, here's where you come in.

The vault can only be accessed
by a random passcode

that changes every 60 seconds.

Take that phone and get that code.

Who's my target?

Huxton Pope.

He's the only person on
the floor that will have the app

that can generate that code.

You will enter
as an event planner

and clone that phone.

Once Damian receives the app...

[PHONE CHIMES]

...he will then pass
the code to Vanessa,

and you will have
to enter the code.

And take out the guard inside.

Well, long story short,

we tracked down the vault manufacturer,

convinced him to share his plans,

and went in four hours before Grayle.

Do you realize how insane that is?

Well, hold on,
consider the plan on its merits.

We had a feeling
that Grayle wouldn't be there,

so Harry pulled Damian's number
from Kassidy's phone records.

- We called him to set up a meet.

Not yet, but he will.

Helena has no part in this.

You hear that, friends?

You move one inch,

Mrs. Lowry is gonna get
a b*llet in her head.

I'm gonna enjoy putting you behind bars.

A man can dream.

Now...

...you and I are going
for a little drive.

ROBYN: Harry, we're dead in the water

until you circumvent that drone feed.

I'm working on it.

MEL: Grayle's on the move with Dante.

HARRY [OVER EARPIECE]: Okay, look.

I can hack Damian's feed

and put the drone on a loop,

but it's risky.
As soon as he figures out

he's been duped,
Grayle's gonna k*ll Helena.

And Dante, too.

Do it.

It's the only play we have.

Yeah.

So, what now?

Ride off with that necklace,

collect your payday, screw your team?

[PHONE RINGS]

GRAYLE [OVER PHONE]:
Damian. We good to go?

Uh, yeah. All good here.

Okay, I've put the drone
on a 30-second loop.

Helena's a block south of your position.

I'm going for Dante.

HARRY: Mel, you've got about

two minutes before
Damian figures this out.

On my way.

[WHIMPERS]

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

MEL: Hey!

[GRUNTING]

Helena, I'm with Detective Dante.

You're safe, okay?

Helena's secure.

[OVER EARPIECE]:
McCall, did you find Dante?

Not yet. Harry, you still got
eyes on Dante's car?

Yeah, you're gaining on him,
but you're still a ways off.

Turn the car off.

Now cuff yourself to the wheel.

My feed's been compromised

and I can't get ahold
of Roma or Vanessa.

So they b*at your foolproof plan?

[GRUNTS]

You'll never get away with this.

I already have.

[ENGINE APPROACHING]

Ah!

[GROANS]

Marcus? Marcus...

Marcus. Marcus.

Please, be okay...

Please, be okay.

Marcus, wake up! [PANTING]

[GRUNTS]

[FAINTLY]: You get him?

I told you I would.

Thank you for not listening to me.

You okay?

DELILAH: Um...

No. Not really.

I just really thought I could help her.

I guess I'm not you.

You always know how
to say the right thing.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I didn't the day you got arrested.

But, you know, I made
that choice, not you.

Yeah, but I encouraged you.

Look how that turned out.

[SIGHS]

No.

You weren't wrong, sweetheart,

for trying to help that girl today.

But no matter how much we care,

we won't always get it right.

None of us do.

I just keep asking myself what
I could've done differently.

In this case, nothing.

- Those are Monique's pills?
- Mm-hmm.

Found it in the garbage outside.

I think you got through to her.

[SIGHS SOFTLY]

Maybe Monique really will be okay.

Mm.

Thank you...

for supporting me today.

I know it wasn't easy.

I always have your back, sweetheart.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Hey, perfect timing.

A toast.

To celebrate catching Grayle.

- What's going on?
- Um...

I have to go on a trip.

Now?

Well, this is first time
I'm hearing of it.

Yeah. I'm leaving the country
with, uh, Fisk.

What...?

Fisk recruited me for this project

that I'm not supposed to tell you about.

But I-I can't keep lying to you.

I love you too much.

Yeah, I'm gonna need you
to back up. [CHUCKLES]

Fisk asked for my help,

and he made me swear not to tell anyone.

But I'm not anyone. I'm your wife.

I know. [STAMMERS] I was trying
to protect you.

Everyone in my life

has said that when they've lied to me.

I just didn't expect
that person to be you.

Mel, please, ju...

I don't need protection, Harry.

I need honesty.

You know what I've gone through
with my family,

and you still lied to me?

You're supposed to be the one person

in this world that I can trust.

You can still trust me.

Can I?

Are we gonna be okay?

I'm not mad, okay?

I'm just, I'm...

I'm hurt.

How'd it go with Kayla and her mom?

They got their closure.

But it won't bring Kayla's father back.

She'll find a way through it.

I did with my dad.

By making your life about
fighting for the little guys.

I think we have that in common.

Probably why we make such a great team.

Look, um...

I want to apologize
for the things I said earlier.

Marcus, please...

You've been under so much
pressure lately.

That's no excuse.
I said terrible things.

Things I didn't mean.

Can you forgive me?

Of course.

I appreciate all you did today.

Especially when I couldn't
listen. I guess...

I need you to know I'm grateful...

...to have you in my life.

When I saw you...

...cuffed to that steering wheel...

...I thought you were dead.

And I was so afraid...

...that we would never
get to have those drinks.

About that...

What I said on that truth serum,

- if it made you uncomfortable, I...
- It didn't.

I just wasn't sure we
could make this work out.
