In The Money

The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 4: In The Money Aired on CBS: October 7, 1987 Directed by: Aaron Lipstadt Written by : Ed Waters & Scott Shepherd Featuring: John Heard (the dad in Home Alone), Dennis Boukiaris (Better Call Saul), Patricia Richardson, Ashley Crow, Oliver Platt (first credit!), Dennis Steinberg

Yes this episode feels a little like a snap back to reality after the epic two parter that started the season and the potential Emmy bait acting performance in #3 (Vincent D'Onofrio in Suspicion of Innocence). Still, this one has a lot going for it: a focus on Wall Street, skeevy insider trading, some sneaky audience deception (possibly a first on the show), and some third act stunts complete with a human cannonball net. All that plus a spotlight on a lovely 20 foot patch of grassy coastline just off of some expressway in NYC.
