McCall is an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. “She no longer wants to work for the company, but the company is not going to let her go so easily,” Latifah says in the video interview. “She has a friend named William Bishop, played by Chris Noth, and he still has connections, so he is kind of the bridge between her and what’s going on on the inside.” In season 1, Bishop helps McCall balance her new role as the anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden with work for the CIA so they don’t bust her for some of her illegal activities in the pursuit of justice. “Bishop is kind of an enigma, he’s kind of mysterious,” Noth says. “He’s got a massive background with the CIA and they were partners in a lot of different ventures. He is in the shadow in this show and he comes out to help or guide her. They’ve been through some very hairy situations where one has saved the life of the other and there is a level of trust. They know when they’re speaking to each other that they’re being heard.” The three-disc DVD collection features every season one episode, deleted scenes, a gag reel and three featurettes that take you deeper into the world of The Equalizer, including: The Equalizer season one comes out on DVD on Sept. 21.
