(38) Now, if you've come for my help I can't give you any.
4-114. /1390.01 1391.10/ 1.09 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(15) I understand.
4-115. 1392.01 1393.09/ 1.08 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(15) Do you?
4-116. /1393.13 1395.14 2.01 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(20) Just came for tea.
(tea : i.e., 'to drink tea')
4-117. /1408.07 1412.04/ 3.13 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(38) Robert, I have very little influence these days.
(influence : i.e., 'power' - 'sway')
4-118. 1412.15 1416.02/ 3.03 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(31) I'm not at the Agency anymore.
(not at : i.e., 'working at' - 'retired from')
(Agency : implying, 'Central Intelligence Agency or
other intelligence gathering organization of the
federal government')
4-119. /1416.07 1419.07 3.00 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(30) I consult on a few things. That's it.
(consult : provide specialist advice)
(things : i.e., 'cases' - 'operations')
4-120. 1419.11 1426.13/ 7.02 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(71) Susan, I just need to know who this man is.
(McCall holds up one of the many cell phones he's
confiscated from the criminals and shows Susan a
picture of Teddy)
4-121. 1439.03 1441.06 2.03 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(21) Who is he to you?
(i.e., 'What is your relationship with this man?' -
Implying, 'Why do you need to know?')
4-122. 1442.03 1445.07/ 3.04 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(32)
That's why I'm here, trying to find out.
4-123. 1446.00 1448.14/ 2.14 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(28) Tell me what's goin' on. Please?
(McCall and Plummer sit out on the patio, playing
chess)
4-124. 1469.07 1472.14/ 3.07 PLUMMER TO MCCALL)

(34) You had a nice funeral, in case you were wondering.
(Note implication that McCall faked his death)

(45) You know, when they told Susan you were dead...
(they : i.e., 'the officials')
4-126. 1481.13 1484.07 2.10 PLUMMER TO MCCALL)

(26) ...she couldn't comprehend it.

(24) She said, "Oh, no. Not Robert.

(46) And not from something as trivial as a car bomb."
(Implying, 'McCall is too savvy to have fallen victim
to a car bomb.' - Note wry humor as a car bomb is
anything but trivial)

(31) That you're alive...

(26) ...is a big relief.

(34) But it didn't come as a complete surprise to her.

(38) We used to talk about you over the years, you know...
4-133. /1512.02 1515.10 3.08 PLUMMER TO MCCALL)

(35) ...and she said if anyone could have figured a way out...
(a way out...start : i.e., 'a way to leave the Agency
completely and start a brand-new life with no ties to
his former operative past')

(53) ...a way to walk away from it all for good...
4-135. /1521.07 1524.06/ 2.15 PLUMMER TO MCCALL)

(29) ...you know, like a real fresh start...

(20) ...it would have been...

(15) ...you.
(A helicopter flies over and lands on the lawn.
Susan, wearing a business suit, gets out)
4-138. 1581.13 1585.06/ 3.09 SUSAN TO MCCALL) (voice over)

ITAL (35) You didn't take out five pimps, Robert.
(take out : slang for 'kill')
(Implying that Slavi and his men were not mere
everyday pimps, but more connected and powerful
than that)
(Later, Susan and McCall sit together at a table.
Susan hands McCall a thick folder and McCall
opens it, revealing a picture of Pushkin)
4-139. 1587.06 1593.00 5.10 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(56) You took out the East Coast hub of Vladimir Pushkin.
(hub : central operations - headquarters)
4-140. /1593.08 1595.00 1.08 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(15) Pushkin.
4-141. 1595.04 1600.05 5.01 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(50) He's similar to the other oligarchs who jumped in bed with
the Russian mafia...
(oligarchs : small group of people who together
govern a nation or control an organization, often for
their own purposes)
(jumped in bed : i.e., 'formed a close, personal
working relationship')
4-142. 1600.09 1602.12 2.03 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(21) ...only he funds everything:
4-143. 1603.00 1607.05/ 4.05 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(43) Gasoline, weapons, girls, you name it.
(you name it : idiomatic expression used to
suggest that an enormous number of things are
involved or an enormous number of options are
possible - i.e., 'he is involved in many things of that
nature')
4-144. /1607.09 1615.09 8.00 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(80) He's built an intricate network on both U.S. coasts that are
incredibly well-insulated.
(network : large and widely distributed group of
people that communicate with one another and
work together as a unit or system)
(well-insulated : well-protected from other criminal
organizations as well as law agencies)
4-145. 1616.01 1620.04/ 4.03 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(41) His money and political ties make him untouchable.
(ties : i.e., 'connections')
(untouchable : too important and guarded to be
investigated or criticized - i.e., 'beyond the reach of
our laws' - note that McCall picks up a photo of
Teddy in a soldier's uniform)
4-146. 1622.09 1629.10/ 7.01 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(70) Your friend here is who Pushkin sends when he's got a
problem.
(your friend here : i.e., 'the man in this picture' -
note wry used of 'friend')
4-147. /1629.14 1631.14 2.00 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(20) Teddy Rensen.
4-148. 1632.02 1635.08/ 3.06 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(33) Real name Nicolai Itchenko.
4-149. /1635.12 1639.01/ 3.05 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(33) Skill set honed in Spetsnaz.
(Skill set : Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is
acquired or developed through training or
experience)
(Spetsnaz : an umbrella term for special forces in
Russian, its literal meaning is 'special purpose
forces' and, historically, the term referred to special
military units controlled by the military intelligence
service)
4-150. /1639.05 1641.11/ 2.06 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(23) He's formidable and smart.
4-151. /1643.12 1647.05 3.09 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(35) Ran a wing of the Secret Police for years.
(Ran : i.e., 'Operated' - 'Controlled')
(wing : group attached and subordinate to a
parent organization - i.e., 'subdivision' - 'faction')
(Secret Police : police force that operates in
secret and whose function is to prevent subversion
or suppress political opposition to a regime - here
meaning the KGB, the main security agency for the
Soviet Union from 1954 until its collapse in 1991)
4-152. 1647.09 1650.06 2.13 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(28) Went private when the Union fell.
(Union : Soviet Union)
(fell : collapsed politically)
4-153. 1650.10 1655.02 4.08 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(45) Basically he's a sociopath with a business card.
(sociopath : person with a personality disorder
manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and
behavior and a lack of conscience)
(with a business card : i.e., 'who is available for
hire to whomever is willing to pay his fee')
(McCall looks through Teddy's folder)
4-154. 1655.06 1657.14/ 2.08 NARRATIVE TITLE) (of document)

(25)
WANTED
ITCHENKO, NICOLAI
(Plummer sets down a glass of wine)
4-155. /1660.10 1662.03/ 1.09 SUSAN TO PLUMMER)

(15) Thank you, darlin'.
4-156. 1663.04 1664.13/ 1.09 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(15) You know these two?
(Susan shows McCall photos of Pederson and
Remar)
4-157. /1667.04 1673.04/ 6.00 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(60) Boston P.D. Probably on Pushkin's payroll, I assume.
(Probably on Pushkin's payroll : i.e., 'I'm guessing
they are corrupt police officers who work for
Pushkin' - Note alliteration)
4-158. /1673.08 1678.05/ 4.13 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(48) Three years. Detective Remar and Detective Pederson.
4-159. /1678.09 1680.12/ 2.03 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(21) Only now they're dead.
4-160. 1681.05 1687.11/ 6.06 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(63) They found them yesterday in the trunk of their car in the
precinct parking lot.
4-161. 1688.01 1693.14 5.13 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(58) Suffocated. Testicles blown off and shoved down their
throats.
(blown off : i.e., 'shot off')
4-162. 1694.02 1697.13/ 3.11 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(36) Classic Russian mob hit. Teddy's work.
(Classic Russian mob hit : i.e., 'The way they died
is characteristic of the way the Russian mafia
assassinates people')
(Teddy's work : i.e., 'This is typical of how Teddy
kills people' - 'This is Teddy's handiwork')
4-163. 1698.15 1705.15 7.00 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(70) Third one, Detective Masters hasn't shown up for work in
several days.
(Third one : i.e., 'The third corrupt police officer
who works for Pushkin')
(shown up : i.e., 'arrived' - 'been present')
4-164. /1706.14 1710.12 3.14 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(38) Robert, I don't have to tell you what happens next.
4-165. 1712.11 1718.01 5.06 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(53) He won't stop until he kills you and anyone you care about.
(He won't stop until he kills : i.e., 'Now that you are
Teddy's next target, he will do everything in his
power to kill')
(The next morning, Susan joins McCall out on the
patio)
4-166. /1751.05 1753.12 2.07 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(24) Didn't sleep a wink, did ya?
(wink : briefest period of time)
4-167. 1756.04 1757.13 1.09 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(15) Hey.
4-168. 1771.09 1775.06 3.13 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(38) Robert, that girl, Alina.
4-169. 1777.02 1778.11 1.09 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(15) Why?
(i.e., 'Why did you get involved?' - 'Why did you risk
both exposure and your life to help her?')
4-170. 1784.06 1788.00 3.10 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(36) I couldn't tell you why she mattered.
(I couldn't tell : i.e., 'I can't fully explain because I,
myself, don't know my motivations')
4-171. 1788.04 1792.14 4.10 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(46) Why what they did to her, it mattered to me so much.
(they : referring to Slavi and the other pimps)
4-172. 1796.02 1802.02 6.00 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(60) One day somebody does something unspeakable to
someone else...
(For this Title through Title #4-174 : Implying, 'I
could only see so much injustice and pain in the
world around me before I felt compelled to take
action and use my particular skills to right the
wrongs.')
4-173. 1803.08 1805.04/ 1.12 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(17) ...to someone you hardly knew.
4-174. 1810.05 1813.12 3.07 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(34) And you do something about it 'cause you can.
4-175. /1815.05 1817.04 1.15 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(19) Because it's who you are?
(who you are : i.e., 'the kind of man that you
inherently are')
4-176. 1819.05 1821.12 2.07 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(24) Who you've always been?
4-177. 1827.11 1834.13/ 7.02 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(71) Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right
place.
(we...place : i.e., 'even though we falter and make
mistakes, we ultimately do find our purpose in life' -
note allusion to McCall's abrupt and permanent
departure from the Agency by faking his death)
4-178. 1842.04 1847.05 5.01 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(50) I know a part of you died when Vivian did.
(a...did : i.e., 'you never fully recovered from your
wife's untimely death')
4-179. 1848.15 1853.00 4.01 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(40) But not the part she loved the most.
(i.e., 'But the compassionate, empathetic man who
believes in justice and protecting those who can't
protect themselves is still a part of you.')
4-180. 1857.10 1859.12/ 2.02 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(21) Go be him.
4-181. 1871.05 1872.15 1.10 MCCALL TO SUSAN)

(16) Yep.
4-182. 1876.00 1878.15 2.15 SUSAN TO MCCALL)

(29) Don't forget to say goodbye.
(Susan exits)
4-183. 1887.04 1889.02 1.14 MCCALL AS IF TO SUSAN)

(18) Goodbye.
(Note implication that McCall is not planning on
speaking to Susan before he leaves so he is, rather
diligently and humorously, pedantically obeying her
request)
