Following "Reacher’s" epic three-episode return on the TV schedule, its fourth episode gave us a lot of lore to think on. This episode, titled “Dominique,” told us the story of Reacher’s former colleague Dominique Kohl, and it revealed the personal reason behind the titular character’s motivation for taking on the gig Season 3 is based around. It’s a vital episode, and Kohl is a vital character, as Alan Ritchson explained when he told me why Mariah Robinson’s performance as her “saved the entire season.”

00:00Yeah, I mean, that that episode is the heart and soul of this entire season. We you know, if if
00:04if we don't understand why he wants, you know, wants to go after the, you know, the antagonist so bad,
00:12you know, he calls it the most evil guy he's ever met. This is this is the this is the

00:48pages of complex dialogue. I don't think I've ever seen a more difficult role as as an actress as as
00:57an actor. She, she, without a doubt, saved this entire season. I don't know who else could have done. I
01:05mean, she was like, so incredibly talented. And she had the hardest, heaviest lift of the entire season and of
01:11any role I've ever seen in my career face to face.
01:14And she really nailed it. I don't think people can appreciate just how difficult that kind of dialogue and that
01:19pacing and the military jargon and the speed at which she had to do it in the interrogation scenes. Wildly,
01:25wildly difficult. Somebody who is pretty good at dialogue. I've never seen anything quite like it. And we are my
01:31hats off to her for what she achieved this season. And your favorite episode, probably because of her work. Yeah.
01:38I don't know.
