A STORY NARRATED BY DENZEL WASHINGTON TO THE VILLAIN IN THE MOVIE THE EQUALIZER Robert (Denzel Washington) : I knew a Russian police captain back in the day. He told me about a case he worked on. Cant remember the guys 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. 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. It was a miracle. One week later, intruders broke into the mans 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 mans 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. They ever catch who did it? Did they? Maybe they didnt look in the right place. Sometimes the answers in front of you. I think the boy killed them. Yes the boy killed them. The boy was scared his foster parents would wake up one day and realize he wasnt worth it, like all the others had. And he couldnt 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. (The boy in this story is humanity and the good man is Daddy GOD.) Now Read it again :)
