Hard hitting and relevant

Warning: Spoilers
A 14 year old girl runs away from an abusive father environment to live on the streets of New York and hires McCall is hired to find her. He is thrust into the seedy underworld of child pornography in order to save her.

One of the most hard hitting episodes of Equalizer. Frustratingly the abusive father with a trouble past is treated annoyingly lightly. It disturbingly touches on prostitution, grooming and child pornography. It also covers the working and hierarchy of the seedy industry as best as a TV show can do.

Here Edward Woodward gets to show a full acting range of emotions as McCall's principles of right and wrong are tested to their limits. The acting from the supporting cast is impressive. The dark filming creates atmosphere and adds to the tension.

Overall, a relevant, uncompromisingly direct and honest episode.
