Quotes 

• Susan Plummer : Sometimes we make wrong choices to get to the right place.

• Brian Plummer : Is everything alright? Were you able to help him?

  Susan Plummer : He didn't come for help. He came for permission.

• Susan Plummer : I know a part of you died when Vivian did. But not the part she loved the most... Go be him.

  Robert McCall : ...Yep.

  Susan Plummer : Don't forget to say goodbye.

  [walks away] 

  Robert McCall : ...Goodbye.

• Susan Plummer : Your friend here is who Pushkin sends when he's got a problem. Teddy Rensen. Real name, Nicolai Itchenko. Skill set honed in Spetsnaz. He's formidable and smart. Ran a wing of the Secret Police for years. Went private when the Union fell. Basically, he's a sociopath with a business card.

• Susan Plummer : You didn't take out five pimps, Robert. You took out the East Coast hub of Vladimir Pushkin.

  Robert McCall : Pushkin?

  Susan Plummer : Mm. He's similar to their oligarch who jumped in bed with Russian mafia, only he funds everything: gasoline, weapons, girls, you name it. He's built an intricate network on both U.S. coasts that are incredibly well-insulated. His money and political ties make him untouchable.

• Susan Plummer : If you've come for help, I can't give you any.

  Robert McCall : I understand.

  Susan Plummer : Do you?

  Robert McCall : Just came for tea.

• Susan Plummer : You know these two?

  Robert McCall : Uh... Boston PD. Probably on Pushkin's payroll, I assume.

  Susan Plummer : Three years. Detective Remar and Detective Pederson. Only now they're dead. They found them yesterday in the trunk of their car in the precinct parking lot. Suffocated. Testicles blown off and shoved down their throats. Classic Russian mob hit. Teddy's work. Third one, Detective Masters, hasn't shown up for work in several days. Robert, I don't have to tell you what happens next. He won't stop until he kills you and anyone you care about.

• Susan Plummer : Robert, I have very little influence these days. I'm not at the Agency anymore. I consult on a few things, that's it.

  Robert McCall : [showing her Teddy's picture]  Susan, I just need to know who this man is.

  Susan Plummer : Who is he to you?

  Robert McCall : That's why I'm here, trying to find out.

  Susan Plummer : Tell me what's going on. Please?
