01:38I'm sorry. I'm not good at math. Don't take a 40% tip. I messed up, okay?
01:42How am I supposed to get ahead when you're wasting my goddamn money?
01:48Get your ass in the van.
01:51What the hell you want, asshole?
01:54I'm talking to you, stupid!
01:57Oh

02:52Newque
03:07Oh, boy.
03:10Police!
03:12Police! Don't move!
03:13Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!
03:14Don't move! Don't move!
03:17Now, we're gonna slide out from behind that booth.
03:20Nice and slow.
03:24Do it now!
03:27Slow!
03:30Hands!
03:34Hands behind your head.
03:36Hands behind your head!
03:38Interlock your fingers!
03:40Interlock your fingers!
03:42Turn around.
03:44Face the window!
03:48Dessert's gonna have to wait.
03:50You're under arrest.
03:52For murder.
03:57Come on.
03:59You can move faster than that.
04:05Sir, if you step over here, I can process you.
04:08I'm not asking, sir. I'm telling.
04:10But don't worry, I won't kick your ass unless you make me.
04:17All right, I'll be doing your intake.
04:18So, first things first, what is your name?
04:21Sasquatch don't talk.
04:23I had a passport on you, though.
04:25Jack Reacher.
04:27No middle name.
04:28Zip ties?
04:29Cuffs.
04:29Cuffs didn't fit him.
04:31No stamps.
04:32Newer than January 1st.
04:35You plan on leaving the country?
04:36Everything else he was carrying.
04:38What's that, about 200?
04:40212.
04:40This looks like some kind of foreign deal.
04:44World War II medal.
04:45French.
04:46No one moves around holding just this.
04:48Where are you keeping the rest of your shit?
04:51You got a friend in town?
04:53Girl?
04:54What the hell are you doing in my town?
04:58Don't wanna talk?
04:59Maybe we put you in the holding cell.
05:02Get you to change your mind.
05:03And how exactly would you do that?
05:08Explain to him his constitutional rights under the 5th and 14th Amendments,
05:12then hope he waives them of his own free will?
05:15Yep.
05:17No need.
05:18I've got it from here.
05:20Take him to the conference room.
05:21I'll be in in a moment.
05:24Being down, bitch.
05:27Mr. Reacher.
05:28I'm Chief Detective Oscar Finley.
05:31I'll be asking you some questions.
05:34I was informed you were read your rights so you know you don't have to answer.
05:42The body was found by the highway embankment, near an overpass, partially covered by flattened out cardboard boxes.
05:49Two 9mm, 95 grain, close range shots to the back of the head.
05:54No casings found.
05:56Victim was male, 30s, big guy.
05:59He was beaten badly post-mortem.
06:02No ID yet.
06:03Problem getting prints off the body's swollen fingertips.
06:08You know who this man was.
06:11How he wound up dead.
06:14Anything you want to share besides your riveting company.
06:22Okay then, well, I'm not about to waste the rest of my afternoon.
06:28Maybe your court-appointed attorney will get you to open up.
06:32I don't need a lawyer.
06:34He speaks.
06:36And he wants to.
06:38And why don't you need a lawyer?
06:41Because I didn't kill anybody.
06:44At least not recently.
06:47And not in this town.
06:50This is kinda impossible.
06:52What's that?
06:53This Reacher fella.
06:55So far run on his prints has been clean, but something could still turn up.
06:58But there's no Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram.
07:02No driver's license, mortgage, insurance claims.
07:06No online profile at all.
07:08The only proof Jack Reacher exists is the fact that he's sitting in that room.
07:13Jack Reacher.
07:14Parents deceased.
07:15One brother, Joe, older by two years.
07:18Retired army.
07:19Commanded the 110th Special Investigations Unit of the military police.
07:24Took out a few men in the course of your duties.
07:27All rude good kills.
07:29What if I'm thinking I'm sitting across from a man who doesn't mind killing
07:33and who has the knowledge and training to murder someone and cover it up?
07:37You'd be right.
07:39But not this murder.
07:41Three men dropped this body.
07:44Enlighten me.
07:45Shooter was someone who knows firearms well.
07:47Bullets were small caliber, 9mm, 95 grain, that's subsonic.
07:50A silencer was used.
07:52He also knew enough to pick up his brass.
07:54This wasn't a first timer.
07:56This was someone who knew how to conduct a quiet, effective kill.
08:00Okay, go on.
08:01You're also looking for a psycho who'd beat up a body post-mortem.
08:04Someone completely unhinged.
08:06Totally different profile from your professional shooter.
08:10Something wrong?
08:13No.
08:15You said there were three.
08:16Your psycho isn't suddenly gonna be rational enough to know he has to hide the body,
08:20and your meticulous shooter isn't gonna do a sloppy job with roadside cardboard.
08:24Though the third guy's so worried about getting out of there,
08:26he grabs some nearby debris and just lays it across the corpse.
08:29You said the victim was big, so most likely his feet were sticking out,
08:32and that's how he got spotted.
08:34Tall people never have enough room for their feet.
08:37Interesting theory.
08:38But you still match the description of someone seen walking the highway
08:42earlier today near where the body was found.
08:45Well, that's because it was me.
08:46I got off the bus from Tampa and walked to town.
08:49Greyhound doesn't have a stop in Margrave.
08:50I never said it did.
08:51You just said you got off in Margrave.
08:53I asked the driver to do me a favor.
08:55Why?
08:55On account of Blind Blake.
08:56Okay, who's that?
08:58Blue Singer.
08:58Legend has it he died in Margrave a long time ago.
09:01I figured I'd learn a bit about him.
09:04I like music.
09:05So you have no home, no phone.
09:08You get on a bus in Tampa with $212 a toothbrush and a French war medal
09:12and travel over 500 miles to read up on a dead blues musician.
09:17That sum up your past 24 hours.
09:19No. I also went to a diner, ordered peach pie,
09:23and never got to eat it because I was arrested for murder.
09:26Okay.
09:27Medical examiner pushed the victim's time of death
09:29at around midnight last night.
09:31This morning.
09:31It's last night until 11.59 in 59 seconds, and then it becomes this morning.
09:37In an investigation, details matter.
09:4012 a.m. this morning is the time of death.
09:44If I can confirm you were on a Greyhound bus at that time, you're cleared.
09:49Until then, you're in the holding cell.
09:52We're running down a phone number found in the dead guy's shoe.
09:55It was on a scrap of paper with the word pluribus written on it.
10:00I want to clear that up, too, before we let you go.
10:02You know anything about that?
10:03It means I'm going to be here for a while.
10:08Phone companies are slow responding to warrants.
10:11Too bad.
10:12Law says we need a warrant.
10:14Come on, you're in the hole.
10:19Reacher, why does trouble always seem to find you?
10:23Monsieur Reacher!
10:24The full moving truck could have run down.
10:27What were you thinking?
10:28You cannot pack fireworks.
10:30They're from the 4th of July.
10:32They're so good.
10:33This is the last of it.
10:35Okay, next transfer, I want half of the boxes.
10:37I don't know how four people accumulate all of this.
10:40Ma'am, yes ma'am.
10:41Okay, Father and I will unpack.
10:43You two, go and meet the base kids.
10:45This is home now.
10:46Hopefully for a while.
10:47Go make friends.
10:51Think we'll like it here?
10:52School lessons will be the same.
10:54Army-issued furniture will be the same.
10:57It'll be just like Cameroon, Belgium and Spain.
11:02You new guys that just moved in today?
11:04Yeah.
11:04This the way to the beach?
11:06Yeah.
11:08That's five bucks.
11:10What's five bucks?
11:11From the looks of it, your jacket.
11:15Yeah.
11:16I'm big for my age.
11:18Just like you're ugly for your age.
11:22Let's just go home.
11:30Okay.
11:34You don't have to do this.
11:36It's my fight.
11:37It's never just your fight.
11:40You know Mom was right.
11:42Trouble does kind of seem to find you.
11:48I went to a hospital.
12:15Thanks.
12:17Thanks.
12:18Been here a while now.
12:19Figured you could use a pick-me-up.
12:21Not my fault.
12:22Trouble just kind of seems to find me.
12:25What I could really use is getting these ties off.
12:27Chief Morrison says they stay on.
12:30Assumed you liked it black.
12:32How'd you figure?
12:33Seemed like a no-nonsense guy.
12:35Cream and sugar nonsense.
12:37So you know I'm innocent.
12:39How do you figure?
12:40My dad is procedure to bring coffee to the guilty.
12:42Well, if you are guilty of something, it can't be much.
12:45Preliminary run on your prints turned up nothing.
12:48Bad guys set off bells and whistles right away.
12:51Roscoe, we're taking a ride.
12:53Got a hit on the phone number.
12:56Sorry, ceramic.
13:02Sorry, Baker.
13:08So, Paul, when I called I informed you your cell number was found at the site of a crime.
13:13You invited me over to chat but never asked what crime.
13:17I found that strange.
13:20Well, you scared the shit out of me.
13:23Huh.
13:24I wasn't thinking.
13:26I just wanted to get you over here so we could talk.
13:29About what?
13:30You tell me.
13:32Murder.
13:34You know anything about that?
13:38Unidentified male shot to death.
13:42He was found with your number written on a paper scrap in his shoe.
13:52I did it.
13:55I killed the guy.
13:57It was me.
14:01Mr. Hubble, for your protection and ours, I'm going to record you getting your rights.
14:05No, I know my rights.
14:07I understand I don't have to talk or anything and then I got a lawyer and all that.
14:10But I did it, okay?
14:12I killed the guy by the highway.
14:14I was the one.
14:16Okay, so this man you killed.
14:20What was his name?
14:23I don't know.
14:24You killed a man you don't know?
14:25Yeah, that's right.
14:26It was, uh, self defense.
14:32Okay, you said it took place by the highway.
14:34Where exactly along the highway?
14:38I told you I did it, okay?
14:40I'm not about to rehash all the details.
14:43You are my second annoying interrogation today.
14:47So you expect me to believe that you, a man with no criminal record, that you just blew a man
14:52away?
14:54A double barrel shotgun blast right to the face.
14:58And then burnt the body.
15:02Yes, I did.
15:04And, and that's all I'm going to say about it.
15:07Your life's about to get very complicated, Ms. Doppel.
15:26Get in.
15:35Reacher.
15:36Come with me.
15:38No.
15:40Excuse me?
15:41Not until you let these zip ties come off.
15:44We both know I didn't kill anybody and they're uncomfortable.
15:49Get the boss cutter.
15:50That's okay.
15:52I got it.
16:05You guys recycle.
16:12Outside, uncuffed, treating me like a person instead of a perp.
16:15I've done the same thing a million times when I want a suspect to trust me even when they shouldn't.
16:19I have no ulterior motives, just information.
16:22That other guy, Paul Hubbell, banker, lives in Margrave, works in Atlanta. No priors.
16:28He just confessed to the murder.
16:30Oh. How nice.
16:32Thanks for the hospitality.
16:33Not so fast.
16:35You want to run? Go for it.
16:37But I doubt you're that fast or that bulletproof.
16:41I was just cleared.
16:42One guy lied about killing another guy. That doesn't clear you.
16:45Good town of murder and even when you confess nothing happens to you.
16:49Oh, you saw Hubbell. He's a citizen. He can't shoot pool, let alone shoot a person.
16:53He admitted to things that didn't even happen.
16:55He just wants me to think he did it and not look into the matter any further.
16:58You think I'm working with him?
16:59Now that he's implicated himself, I'm worried he might implicate me.
17:03So maybe I'll cut a deal and talk.
17:04Maybe I'm just thinking the guy who was seen near the murder site, guilty or not, might still have information
17:09to share.
17:10I don't. But Stevenson does. He and Hubbell were looking at each other.
17:14They looked at each other.
17:15They held eye contact for a full two Mississippi-
17:17Stevenson and Hubbell have cousins that married each other. He's just worried about family.
17:21That's more than that.
17:22You're always so confident in your theories.
17:24As confident as I am that you went to Harvard, you recently divorced and you quit smoking in the last
17:28six months.
17:30How'd you come up with that?
17:31My friend back there, Baker, he called you a bean town bitch.
17:34And from all appearances, you're well educated, but you took a job in the middle of nowhere with people that
17:38look nothing like you.
17:40You're stubborn, you have a chip on your shoulder, you don't care if your coworkers like you.
17:43A guy like that doesn't go to BU, he goes to Harvard.
17:46To show those blue blood assholes what he's capable of, am I right?
17:50About going to Harvard?
17:51Yes.
17:52You're also about 40, which means you did your 20 at Boston PD to get your pension so you can
17:56afford a proper southern soup, but you still look like black Sherlock Holmes.
17:59Means no woman in your life making sure you dress right.
18:01Death or divorce.
18:02At your age, divorce is a higher probability, but you still wear the ring.
18:06Either wear on it, you play with it, obsess over it.
18:08Like I said, you're stubborn.
18:10You're still hoping to reconcile with the old lady.
18:12My name's Sharon.
18:14As for the smoking, when I broke down the three murderers back there, you started to think you had the
18:17wrong guy.
18:18It stressed you out.
18:20The water in your glass moved a bit.
18:23We're not on any major fault lines.
18:24It means your leg was bouncing under the table.
18:28That combined with the slight aroma of cigarettes in your suit, because it's hard to get out of...
18:31Tweed.
18:33And I assume nicotine withdrawal.
18:34Let's study show it takes four to six months to fully break a habit.
18:38You keep up the good work, though.
18:40Those things are killers.
18:45Back inside.
18:52Follow me.
18:54Steve is in my office.
19:03This man seems to think you know something about Hubble that you aren't sharing with me.
19:08Is that true?
19:11The answer isn't on your shoes.
19:13Uh, sir, there was a family party last night.
19:16My, uh, grandparents' anniversary of their 50.
19:18I don't care.
19:19Right.
19:20Well, Hubble and Charlie were there.
19:22Who's Charlie?
19:23Charlene.
19:24His wife.
19:25We stayed late.
19:26We danced with our wives way past two.
19:28I drove them home.
19:29I don't know why his number was in that guy's shoe.
19:32I don't know why he confessed.
19:33All I know is that at midnight, he was nowhere near that highway.
19:36Hubble in the trucks?
19:37No.
19:37You cheat on his wife?
19:38No.
19:38He's a family man.
19:39Don't answer his questions.
19:40He's not your boss.
19:41Right.
19:41Sorry.
19:42Does he have money problems?
19:45I don't know what to do.
19:46Just answer the question.
19:47No.
19:48He is rich.
19:49Okay.
19:49Get out of here.
19:57Drugs, money, and fidelity.
19:59Stevenson's right.
19:59We've eliminated the big three, which means the only way you'll know why Hubble confesses
20:03is if he tells you.
20:03Yeah, well, maybe a week in a lockup will motivate him.
20:07Let me know what he says.
20:11What the hell does that mean?
20:12You figured out I quit smoking, but can't figure out what's happening right now.
20:17This is bullshit.
20:19You have a confession.
20:20I helped with the investigation.
20:22You helped me.
20:24You seem to be confused about your role in this situation.
20:28You are my detainee and suspect, not my partner or my equal.
20:32And you're certainly not by employment appearance or lifestyle choice a cop anymore.
20:37Now, Chief Morrison wants you in custody till we know for sure that all six foot four of you was
20:42on that bus from Tampa.
20:43Six foot five.
20:44In an investigation, details matter.
20:47Here's the detail for you.
20:48We keep extra large cuffs in our lockbox.
21:02Inventory is watchin' ring.
21:04They'll steal him first five minutes he's in there.
21:08It was nice talking to you.
21:22Thanks.
21:24For the watch thing.
21:26Shut up.
21:28You ruined my trip here.
21:43I'll be back.
21:48Jeez, Stos.

28:02i wish that were all
28:05my bosses promised if i disrupt their operation in any way they'd
28:12they'd nail me to a wall
28:14literally in front of my family they'd cut my balls off and make me eat them
28:21and they'd bleed me and my wife out slow so we'd die knowing our kids were left with those

29:39If you boys knew what's about to happen to you, you'd leave now.
29:44So I give you to the count of three.
29:47One.
29:50One.
29:52One.
29:53Two.
29:54Two.
29:57Two.
30:02Three.
30:13Three.
30:38What the hell are you two doing down here?
30:39Come on, let's go, before the warden sees.
30:42Let's go, let's go!
30:47My report says you were placed upstairs.
30:50Why are you in Gen Pop?
30:52That's where the guy put us.
30:58Anyone asks, you've been here the whole time.
31:03Understand?
31:12In this world where people are fighting with each other,
31:23nobody to count on, not even your brother.
31:31So if someone comes along who gives you genuine affection,
31:41get it while you can, get it while you can.
31:48Hi, this is Sharon Finley.
31:50Leave a message and I'll get you back.
31:54Hey, it's me.
31:56I'm, I'm just, uh, I'm just dealing with a tough case.
32:03Alone in the middle of Georgia and I just wish you would call me back.
32:20Uh, come in.
32:22Boss, got Reacher's military record from D.C.
32:26You want to hear the back of his baseball card?
32:27I do.
32:29West Point graduate, Silver Star, Defense Superior Service Medal,
32:33Legion of Merit, Soldiers Medal, Army Commendation Medal,
32:37Bronze Star, a second Silver Star, and a Purple Heart
32:40for wounds sustained in the bombing of a Marine's barracks in Kandahar.
32:50Major Reacher ran into the inferno, carrying soldiers out two at a time.
32:55Witnesses report six separate trips, confirming 12 were saved.
32:59Major Reacher suffered severe smoke inhalation,
33:02but returned to active duty 32 hours later,
33:05despite having shrapnel remains of a jawbone removed from his abdomen.
33:15You want to hear his MP numbers?
33:16No.
33:18Over 150 closed cases, all successful prosecutions,
33:21more than 20 fugitives captured.
33:24What in God's name is a guy like that doing in Margrave?
33:27What's a guy like that doing in jail?
33:30I hate to be the one who put him in there.
33:33Get out of my office.
34:11I hate to be the one who put him in there.
34:17Get out, get out, get out, get out.
34:22I've been hoping a Beatle song would come on.
34:26They soothe me.
34:29Ever since Mom would sing me Rocky Raccoon, One Out of Cold.
34:34Let me do my thing, let me do my thing, let's have fun.
34:41Sorry, if I woke you, it's okay.
34:47I came a while ago.
34:48You can have mine.
34:50I don't have an appetite.
34:57I don't have an appetite.
35:07You should eat.
35:09It looked like hell.
35:12That's because I saw you gouge a man's eyes out.
35:15You started it.
35:20They might try to kill me as soon as I'm bailed out.
35:24You important to their operation?
35:31Real important.
35:33Then you're probably okay.
35:36What bodies are falling means someone's getting nervous.
35:39When that happens, things can change fast.
35:44I'm more curious why whoever you work for wants me dead.
35:47What do you mean?
35:48A guard from last night, Spirey.
35:51You set us up in gen pop.
35:53He'd play it off like it was some kind of innocent mistake, but it was intentional.
35:57The guys in the shower ID'd me as a person to take out.
36:01Once I'm out of here, I'm gone.
36:04Something bad's going down in my grave, and I don't need to be a part of it.
36:18My wife should be here soon.
36:21I don't give a shit.
36:34Figured a guy with no money, ID, or car could use lip.
36:49That's me.
36:50Greyhound confirmed that's their Tampa station two nights ago.
36:53No way you could have been in a margrave in time to kill anyone.
36:55Common carriers are notoriously difficult.
36:58Nothing without a warrant.
36:59How'd you get them to cooperate?
37:01Lod.
37:02Said that we suspected one of their employees of using their buses to transport Coke.
37:06They didn't cooperate, promised to pull a civil forfeiture on everything with the wheels
37:09until our investigation was over.
37:10Got that video within the hour.
37:13So you cleared me, but how does a guy who confessed walk away?
37:16Well, everybody knows that Hubble's lying, so we're holding off on charges,
37:20hoping that a nervous guy like him just does something dumb that leads us to the truth,
37:25or just cracks and spills what really went down.
37:29Smart approach, Officer Roscoe.
37:33Roscoe's actually my first name.
37:36Never met a woman named Roscoe before.
37:39Yeah, you did.
37:40A day ago.
37:43So what's your last name?
37:45Conklin.
37:48Got a love tap inside?
37:50I got set up.
37:52By who?
37:54Some guard.
37:55Just a urine boy.
37:57But whoever he took orders from wanted me gone, and they're going to get what they want.
38:01I'm on the next bus out of here.
38:03That's a shame.
38:06I feel bad about the Margrave welcome wagon running you over.
38:12I was going to apologize within early dinner, but if you're not sticking around...
38:15Okay.
38:17Great.
38:20But I'm going to need some new clothes first.
38:24Lock-ups made me a bit gamey.
38:26Oh, we got a morale's men shop in town.
38:28I don't need anything that fancy.
38:31Just t-shirt and jeans.
38:34I travel light.
38:39You sure you don't want to get new threads?
38:42They'll be new to me.
38:47I don't get it.
38:48Don't you want a home base or something?
38:50I had a home base my whole life.
38:52Grew up in the military, worked in the military.
38:54Always told where to go when to be there.
38:57Always see my country on my own terms.
39:00What about money?
39:01Pensions wired to a Western Union each month.
39:05Don't you miss your family?
39:06I guess so.
39:07They're all dead.
39:09Except for my brother, Joe.
39:11He's a good guy.
39:12Where's he?
39:14No idea.
39:18So, what really brought you to Margrave?
39:20Can't be some blues to hear.
39:21I don't lie to people who get me out of jail.
39:24I'm here because of Blind Blake.
39:27Actually, it's on account of Chauncey.
39:29Who's Chauncey?
39:32A couple days ago, I go to Chauncey's Bar and Grill in Tampa.
39:35The guy there's playing Police Dog Blues by Blind Blake.
39:38I remembered a conversation I had with my brother, Joe, a while back.
39:41I read some article about Blake, said he played his last show in Margrave, and that's where he died.
39:47So I got on a bus.
39:51So you just go wherever you want, whenever you want?
39:55Everyone's always jealous.
39:57Well, yeah, that's, um...
40:00An interesting approach to life.
40:02Works for me.
40:20So I'll check out the town for a while.
40:21See you in a bit.
40:22Sounds good.
40:23Or don't go getting yourself arrested for murder again.
40:30If you see my baby lady
40:33Standing around, you know it
40:36Somewhere, baby, like mama
40:38Shake them all down, Lord, it's my son, Lord
41:03If you come to my house, you don't find me around, you know it
41:08Somewhere, baby, like mama
41:10Shake them all down, Lord, it's my son, Lord
41:26If you want a trim, you gotta wait.
41:31It's Mosley's meal time.
41:33I was thinking of shave, Mr. Mosley
41:36Blind alley cat can shave and eat
41:41Heard Mississippi Fred McDowell coming from your shop
41:45Thought a blues fan might be able to tell me a bit about Blind Blake's time in Margrave
41:53Surprised a white man your age knows Fred McDowell
41:59Most surprised you know Blind Blake
42:02Mr. Reacher
42:06Small town
42:07When a giant stranger gets arrested for murder, word gets around
42:12Of course, Ms. Roscoe cleared you, so I ain't scared of you none
42:19My age ain't scared of nothing much
42:21Yeah, me neither
42:22And everyone just calls me Reacher
42:26Even my mother did
42:27What black you go
42:35You know, my sister sang with Blake a few times back in the day
42:40He'd come through town each year
42:43Played a church or some barn in the sticks
42:47I heard he died here
42:48That's the rumor
42:50People would come from all over town to here
42:52Even white folks
42:54One hell of a town it is
42:56Freshly painted gazebo
42:58Manicured flower beds
43:01Statue recently polished
43:02You gotta think it's more than civic pride
43:05That it is
43:07The Kleiner Foundation takes care of Margrave
43:11Ever since Mr. Kleiner came to town about five years back from St. Louis
43:15We set up this company right here
43:17What kind of company is that?
43:19You name it, Kleiner do it
43:21Real estate, trucking, chemicals, machine parts
43:26That statue out there
43:29Casper Teal
43:30His grandson's our mayor
43:32He gave Kleiner a sweetheart land deal for his factory
43:37And then return Kleiner pours money into the town
43:40Win-win
43:41That there is Kleiner Junior
43:44And his bug house cousin Dawson
43:47Everyone calls Junior KJ
43:50I call him Trouble
43:54Keep my seat warm, won't you?
44:05You looking for a dance, partner?
44:08Because the last person who eyeballed me like that
44:10Was a woman down in Panama
44:11When I was stationed at Fort Sherman
44:12And she wanted to dance to Tom Burrito with me
44:16Do you want to dance to Tom Burrito with me?
44:18Hell, I'll dance
44:19I'll talk to you, beauty
44:21I was talking to a guy in pricier boots
44:22Better haircut, an expensive truck
44:24He lets you sit shotgun in
44:26Damn
44:28So
44:31You want me to lead, or?
44:33I'm not much of a dancer
44:36I'm more of an academic and a reader
44:39In fact, I was reading something interesting just this morning
44:42About some charges brought against Major Jack Reacher
44:45In a small village outside of Baghdad
44:49Charges of a very serious nature
44:51But charges have somehow disappeared
44:53Like grains of sand in an unforgiving desert
44:57Somehow the desert ended up forgiving you, didn't it?
45:01We don't forgive as easily in Margrave
45:04Watch your back, Mr. Reacher
45:09Right
45:25How did you wish?
45:26What happened?
45:30How did you get into mind?
45:31How did you get into space?
45:32Why did you get in the way?
45:32Can I get the way of another bank?
45:32Tyraou
45:33Can I come back in my basement facility?
45:42hey sorry dinner's not gonna happen what's going on another body was found the brush
45:4740 yards from the first one same caliber bullet gotta go to the morgue can't say i'm not
45:52disappointed i was looking forward to spending time with you before leaving well i don't know
45:57if you're going anywhere just yet preacher did hubba talk when you two were locked up
46:02no baloney easy finley watch your language you think this is funny i got a town of 1700 people
46:08and two homicides he didn't talk to me the whole time we were in there i don't believe you i
46:13don't
46:13care didn't want to be nice you're not going anywhere my alibi cleared just because we know
46:19you weren't here when these bodies drop doesn't mean you might not have something to do with them
46:23so i'm wondering if maybe it was some other six foot five gorilla on that grainy greyhound tape
46:28maybe i need to bring in a forensic expert to confirm it was you and maybe you need to cool
46:33your heels back at warburton while we get that done over the next two or three weeks
46:38or you get in the car and we go to the morgue perhaps the medical examiner will say something
46:43that jars your memory about hubble you can share it with me first you make it clear i'm not a
46:48cop
46:48anymore now you want my help i want you to do what i say now
47:01sometimes you're dead and you don't even know it
47:05this second guy he was shot in the back of the head while running away
47:07but his legs kept pumping for a few more feet before his brain told him
47:10hey buddy you're dead so he fell over into the weeds
47:13at least that's what the blood spatters at the scene said he was shot from far enough away and
47:18it was so dark he couldn't be found so the killer just left him there no idea on him
47:23killers an investigation details matter most likely more than one doer
47:29well these are my first murder so please tell me you know who did this
47:37what about our first john dole any luck nope he's been harder to crack than a steel walnut
47:42dental work was inconsistent some of it was done in the u.s and the rest was foreign
47:47and his fingertips were compromised by a dermatitis reaction
47:51so swollen prints wouldn't come out clean until i drink some of the fluid
47:55we're waiting for the results
47:56well no do not um is he new on the force or
48:01no well kind of
48:05first victim was allergic to latex
48:08killers must have worn some kind of polyvinyl protective suit to keep blood dna off themselves
48:12the victim grabbed in the struggle causing his fingertips to swell in a histaminic reaction
48:18his dental works off because he had his teeth fixed wherever he was living at the time
48:22broke his right arm when he was eight had it set in berlin
48:24had his tonsils taken out of ten in seoul
