- Robert McCall: I knew a Russian police captain back in the day. He told me about a case he worked on. Can't remember the guy's name. He was a famous scholar, lived in Moscow. He was a humanitarian, an author. Anyway, he decided to share his abundance with someone less fortunate. And even though he had five children, he opened his home to a sixth. An orphan, 12-year-old boy. Kid had been pounded by the system from an early age. Troubled. Prone to violence. A lost cause. Stop me if you know this one. - Teddy: Oh, no. Carry on. - Robert McCall: Okay. So this good man opened his home to this boy. And when the boy stole from him, this good man loved him anyway. When the boy failed in school, this man showed understanding and patience. When the boy lied and cheated and clawed and fought, this good man showed compassion and love until the boy, who had never felt anything like being wanted or loved, he finally did. The man had broken through. By all accounts It was a miracle. One week later, intruders broke into the man's house. Killed the man and his wife in bed. They said some small things were stolen, things a child might steal. No one knows for sure. The man's children were sent off to relatives. The boy, the orphan, shipped back to hell. Just when he finally had a chance at life, it was snatched away by two bullets. - Teddy: It's a well-known story. - Robert McCall: Mm. They ever catch who did it? - Teddy: Did they? - Robert McCall: Maybe they didn't look in the right place. Sometimes the answer's in front of you. I think the boy killed them. I think the boy did it. The boy was scared his foster parents would wake up one day and realize he wasn't worth it, like all the others had. And he couldn't bear the thought that this good man would do that to him. Would throw him away...like a piece of lint or a bottle cap. So...he decided not to find out. What do you think, Nicolai? - Teddy: You think you know me? You strike me as a sentimental man, Mr. McCall. That's surprising. I don't possess that chip. I never could understand what comes from feeling that way except weakness. - Robert McCall: The men I killed, your men, I gave them a chance. They made their decision. I'm giving you the opportunity to make yours - Teddy: Thank you - Robert McCall: You're welcome. You let me know when you decide. - Teddy: Of course. - Robert McCall: I've done some bad things in my life, Nicolai. Things I'm not proud of. I promised someone that I love very much that I would never go back to being that person. But for you... I'm gonna make an exception. You asked me what I saw when I looked at you. What do you see when you look at me?
