00:00The movie begins with news reports about the drastic increase in crime around the city.
00:04We then meet Paul Kersey, now living in Los Angeles.
00:08He says goodbye to his housekeeper, Rosario, before heading out to meet his girlfriend
00:12and news reporter, Jerry Nichols.
00:15The two go to visit Carol, who is still living at a mental institution after the events of
00:19the last film.
00:20The two take Carol for a walk in the town.
00:23Paul leaves them to go and purchase ice cream, and he walks past a gang of thugs who begin
00:27eyeing him.
00:28The men walk over and bump into Paul, who then realizes that his wallet has been stolen.
00:33Paul chases after the men and manages to corner one of them named Jiver in an alley.
00:37Jiver pulls a knife, but Paul manages to disarm him easily.
00:41Jiver reveals that he does not have the wallet, so Paul decides to let him go.
00:46He returns to Jerry and Carol, telling them he may have left his wallet at home.
00:50They walk to the pier, where Jerry leaves them as she has an interview with a senator.
00:54Meanwhile, the other goons have tracked down Paul's address from his ID and pull up in
00:58a van outside.
01:00Rosario, who is preparing dinner, has no idea about the danger she is about to face.
01:05One of the men grabs a crowbar while the other goes to ring the doorbell, pretending to have
01:09a delivery for Paul.
01:10Rosario is skeptical and questions the man, but suddenly the others burst in through the
01:14back door and restrain a screaming Rosario.
01:17Seeing an opportunity, the men decide to assault her, and gag her mouth to muffle her screams.
01:22One man who seems to have just left prison then begins to have his way wildly with her
01:26while the others cheer him on.
01:28Once he is done, the others drag her to the bedroom where they take turns with Rosario.
01:32A few minutes later, Paul and Carol return home, but they are suddenly surrounded by
01:37the men who restrain Paul and knock him out with the crowbar.
01:40Rosario tries to call the cops, but a man hits her over the head, killing her, before
01:44escaping from the home with Carol, dragging her into a van and escaping.
01:49The men take Carol back to their hideout, wondering what to do with her.
01:52One man suggests killing her as she has seen their faces.
01:55Jiver is worried since Paul saw his face, but Cutter tells him not to worry since white
02:00people think they all look alike.
02:02One man sees an opportunity and begins to undress an unresponsive Carol.
02:06Back at the house, Paul is woken up when Jerry returns and rings his doorbell.
02:10Paul answers the door, then they see Rosario's dead body.
02:14One man finishes having his way with Carol, and when another starts to get ready, Carol
02:18suddenly runs off, causing the men to chase her.
02:21She then jumps through a window and impales herself on the metal bars outside.
02:25The cops take Rosario's body away, and Inspector Mankiewicz comes to get more details about
02:30the attackers.
02:31Paul asks about Carol, but the police have heard nothing.
02:34Paul tries to go over the series of events, but was knocked unconscious before he could
02:38make out any faces.
02:40The inspector knows about Paul losing his family back in New York and tells Paul he
02:43is doing everything he can.
02:45He then gives Paul a glass figurine that he bought for Carol on their day out.
02:49Just then, a cop tells Paul they have found his daughter, and he is taken to the morgue
02:53to identify the body.
02:55Now with his entire family gone, Paul is unable to sleep.
02:59The funeral service for Carol is soon held, and Paul watches his daughter descend into
03:03the earth.
03:04His boss tells him to take some time off, but Paul notes he will be back soon.
03:08He retreats to a cabin in the woods and spends his days cutting firewood to release his stress.
03:13After a few weeks, Paul returns home and gets back to work where his company is working
03:17on designing a new building.
03:19He then has a meeting with the owner of the radio station where Jerry works, and for whom
03:23he is designing the new building.
03:25He then sees Jerry, who asks him about a date later, but Paul is not in the mood.
03:30Outside, he is confronted by cops who want him to look at some mugshots, but Paul claims
03:34he does not remember anything.
03:36He then retrieves his gun from its hiding spot, loads up, and sets off.
03:40Paul parks and goes for a stroll through the city, eyeing every criminal figure to try
03:44and pick up his daughter's killers.
03:46Later that evening, he changes off into some dark clothing, then heads deep into the inner
03:50city where he finds himself a motel, renting a room as a base of operations under the name
03:55Mr. Kimball.
03:56That night, Paul goes lurking but sees no one.
03:59The next morning, Paul is frighteningly awakened by Jerry, who made her way into his house.
04:04His gun is still out, so he sneakily hides it away before she can notice.
04:08Once she leaves, Paul calls a locksmith to have his locks changed.
04:12The following night, Paul decides to spin the block.
04:15He is sitting by the roadside when he spots one of the men that grabbed his wallet named
04:19Stomper.
04:20He sees them meet with some other guys and begins to follow them closely.
04:23The men head into an abandoned building, and Paul puts on his gloves, ready for action.
04:28He enters the rat-infested building with his gun drawn and comes upon the men doing a deal.
04:33Paul suddenly shoots one man dead, telling the other men to get out and Stomper to stand
04:37his ground.
04:38With a smirk, Paul sees his cross necklace, telling Stomper he will meet Jesus soon before
04:43shooting him dead.
04:44He gets back to his motel room, where he hides the gun away.
04:48He returns to his home just as Jerry calls, wondering why he hasn't been answering her
04:52calls.
04:53Paul claims he has been in all night but just refused to answer the telephone due to telemarketers.
04:58The two then make plans for a date on Friday.
05:01Just then, the news reports on Stomper's death.
05:04The following night, Paul heads over to his motel room and retrieves his gun, ready to
05:08go drilling for the night.
05:10He is walking through the city when he hears screaming coming from an underground parking
05:13lot.
05:14Paul goes to check it out and sees some goons harassing a couple, pulling the woman into
05:18a van.
05:19Paul pounces on the men and shoots the first two dead.
05:22Another man comes out of the van blasting and manages to run away.
05:25The last man turns out to be Jiver, who holds the almost naked woman at gunpoint, warning
05:30Paul to stay back.
05:32He takes off, but Paul manages to shoot him in the butt before he escapes.
05:36Paul then sees his blood trail and spots Jiver running into an abandoned building.
05:40Paul pulls his gun and goes searching for the injured goon, who is hiding with his gun
05:44ready.
05:45He manages to cause a distraction to lure Paul closer to him before trying to run him
05:49over with a forklift.
05:51Paul dodges and still manages to shoot Jiver dead.
05:54He escapes just before the cops arrive on the scene.
05:57Inspector Mankiewicz is angry at the husband because he refuses to describe the vigilante
06:01and orders his cops to hold him.
06:03He tries getting a description from the wife, but the husband calls Paul a very good citizen.
06:08The inspector goes to meet with the police commissioner about a possible vigilante on
06:11the loose but thinks that he can't track him down.
06:14The commissioner then recalls reports of a vigilante in New York and tells the detective
06:18to contact the department.
06:20The NYPD gets the info, and Detective Ochoa notes that Paul now lives in LA where the
06:24reports are coming from.
06:26Ochoa reveals he has been keeping tabs on Paul all these years and suspects that he
06:30is the one.
06:31The men are worried that if Paul is caught, then it will be revealed that they let him
06:35go, which would mean the end of their jobs.
06:37They plan to catch Paul before the LAPD do and send Ochoa to investigate Paul and stop
06:42him if he is the vigilante.
06:44Ochoa soon arrives in LA and meets with a contact where he learns that Paul's housekeeper
06:48and daughter were killed.
06:49He then tracks down Jerry and enters her apartment.
06:52He then tells Jerry about Paul's past in New York and that he killed 9 people as a vigilante.
06:57He tells her how Paul was seen as a hero and was encouraged to leave the city, but he suspects
07:01that Paul is back in the vigilante business.
07:04He thinks that maybe Paul would listen to Jerry if she told him to stop, and he leaves
07:07Jerry with a lot of questions.
07:09Jerry goes to visit Paul when she sees him coming in, claiming he was just out with a
07:13male friend.
07:15Jerry tells him about the visit she got from Ochoa and the accusations, but Paul denies
07:19all this as if he were innocent, he would have been arrested.
07:22Jerry accepts this, recalling that Ochoa did seem a bit odd.
07:26Paul then spins this tall tale about what happened in New York, and he seals it all
07:29with a kiss, and Jerry gobbles it all up.
07:32The following day, Ochoa calls a contact, asking the man to park his car outside Paul's
07:37house.
07:38Paul sees the car pull up outside but leaves through a back entrance, unaware that Ochoa
07:42is following him.
07:43He follows Paul all the way back to the inner city and sees him enter the motel.
07:48Paul gets changed off and is now armed with two pistols when he heads back out.
07:52Paul gets back into the city when he sees Cutter and two other thugs dancing in the
07:55park, recalling their faces from the invasion.
07:58The men do not recognize Paul, who keeps a close eye on them.
08:02He follows the men as they get onto a public bus, and Ochoa is close behind.
08:06On the bus, the guys begin harassing a female passenger, but Paul keeps his distance and
08:11is cool.
08:12The men finally get off the bus after a while, and Paul gets off soon after, following the
08:16men as they head into the dark.
08:18Ochoa pays his taxi cab to wait on him and follows Paul on foot.
08:22Paul, with his gun drawn, comes upon the men as they are meeting some other thugs to make
08:26a deal for guns.
08:28Ochoa, who is also observing, then sees a sniper in a tree about to take aim at Paul.
08:33Ochoa alerts Paul just in time to avoid the attack, but the gangsters are alerted.
08:38Ochoa kills the sniper before he and Paul take on the men in a shootout.
08:42Unfortunately, Ochoa is gunned down in a hail of bullets.
08:45Paul manages to shoot and kill Cutter and the two goons, then shoot the arms dealer,
08:49causing him to drive over a cliff to his death.
08:52The man that shot Ochoa, though, manages to escape from the scene.
08:56Paul goes over to Ochoa, surprised that he was there to help.
08:59Ochoa then tells Paul to avenge him before dying.
09:03Paul then escapes the scene before the cops arrive in their numbers and find the bodies.
09:07One goon is still battling for life, and Mankiewicz demands to know who killed Ochoa.
09:12The goon gives up the man's name as Charles Wilson before he also dies.
09:16The next day, Paul heads over to Jerry's radio station and learns that the cops are planning
09:20a big raid to capture Charles.
09:22He then gets his hands on an old police scanner from one of Jerry's colleagues.
09:26Paul keeps a close ear on the scanner until he overhears the cops preparing for their
09:30operation.
09:31Paul drives over to the scene and sees the men preparing their raid and Charles entering
09:35a building.
09:36Paul parks behind the building, then makes his way to the roof.
09:39He gains access to the building where Charles is and pulls his gun, ready to end him.
09:44He comes to the room where Charles is hiding, but Charles, under the influence of drugs,
09:49slashes Paul's arm and manages to escape.
09:51Out in the street, the cops try to tackle Charles, but he is too doped up and fights
09:55off the cops until the entire precinct comes to hold him down.
09:59Paul dresses his wound back at his motel, gets dressed, and returns home.
10:03Jerry returns soon after, showing him the newspaper reporting Ochoa's death and that
10:07they caught the man who killed him.
10:09Jerry leaves to prepare for their date later.
10:12At the trial for Charles, the judge declares him criminally insane and remands him to a
10:16mental hospital.
10:17It turns out that Jerry is writing an article on the doctor treating Charles, so Paul wonders
10:21if he could join her for her interview.
10:24While there, Paul asks to go to the men's room but enters the doctor's locker room where
10:27he finds a coat with an ID attached.
10:30He steals the ID and manages to create a fake one for himself.
10:34He then takes Jerry out on a date where he asks her to marry him, which she accepts.
10:38He then plans to take a vacation with her after the wedding, and she is excited.
10:42The following night, Paul prepares himself to execute his plan.
10:46He drives over to the hospital, and disguised as a doctor, he gets the directions to Charles's
10:51room.
10:52He then convinces an orderly to let him through and leads him to Charles's room.
10:55The orderly then gets Charles and leaves him alone in a room with Paul.
10:59Paul pulls his gun, but Charles manages to disarm him.
11:02The two begin to fight when Charles pulls a shank, stabbing Paul multiple times.
11:07Paul fights back, causing Charles to get his arm stuck in a high-voltage panel, and Paul
11:12shocks him to death.
11:13Paul then comes face to face with the orderly, who had recognized Paul from the reports of
11:17Carol's murder.
11:19He then gives Paul a three-minute head start before he pulls the alarm.
11:23Paul quickly escapes back to his motel room to treat his wounds.
11:26Meanwhile, Jerry gets to his apartment where she finds out Paul made a fake doctor's ID
11:30and hears reports of Charles's death.
11:33She takes off her engagement ring and leaves Paul, who arrives home moments later.
11:37Months later, Paul attends a presentation of his building design for the radio station.
11:42The owner invites him to a launch party but questions why Paul always seems to be unavailable
11:46in the evenings and never takes any phone calls.
11:49When Paul accepts the invitation, he answers, what else would I be doing?
11:53Paul returns to the streets at night and continues his killing spree.
