1. The FAA
is still gathering information,
Copy !req
2. but at this point,
stress that all evidence points
Copy !req
3. to mechanical failure.
Copy !req
4. Washington's recent budget cuts
will put an end
Copy !req
5. to heightened
Coast Guard patrols
Copy !req
6. along the Southeastern seaboard.
Copy !req
7. Critics say the year-long
blockade has been credited
Copy !req
8. with hundreds of successful
search-and-seizures
Copy !req
9. of contraband, including...
Copy !req
10. We shouldn't have left her,
Copy !req
11. just lying dead there.
Copy !req
12. We called 911.
Copy !req
13. Still...
Copy !req
14. We couldn't stick around.
Copy !req
15. Margrave PD is dirty.
Copy !req
16. Who's to say that Atlanta
or Georgia State Police
Copy !req
17. aren't on Kliner's payroll, too?
Copy !req
18. The only way to make Molly
Beth's death mean something
Copy !req
19. is by catching
whoever killed her.
Copy !req
20. We can't do that
if we're shot dead
Copy !req
21. by crooked cops
or rotting away in jail
Copy !req
22. with her murder pinned on us.
Copy !req
23. Pull over.
Copy !req
24. What the hell are we doing?
Copy !req
25. Long story. Be right back.
Copy !req
26. It's okay.
Copy !req
27. What's he doing to you?
Copy !req
28. Collar's cutting him.
Copy !req
29. Enough of this.
Copy !req
30. What are you doing?
Copy !req
31. Dog didn't do anything
to anybody.
Copy !req
32. Doesn't deserve this.
Copy !req
33. I told you
to stay off my property!
Copy !req
34. Seriously?
Copy !req
35. Let's see how you like it.
Copy !req
36. - Let's go, boy.
- Come on.
Copy !req
37. Okay.
Copy !req
38. So, what are we gonna do now?
Copy !req
39. Take the dog
to a no-kill shelter,
Copy !req
40. then drop me off at Hubble's.
Copy !req
41. Why?
Copy !req
42. Last car they gave me
is full of bullet holes.
Copy !req
43. Need a new one.
Copy !req
44. Okay, we'll see you at
the station house parking lot.
Copy !req
45. Hey. Are you okay?
Copy !req
46. I never should have let her
get involved.
Copy !req
47. That'll do.
Copy !req
48. How come your owner's buying
you and your pals so much feed?
Copy !req
49. Lot of help you are.
Copy !req
50. Shit!
Copy !req
51. And so...
so I'm stuffing this sucker
Copy !req
52. full of M-80s, cherry bombs,
uh, ash cans...
Copy !req
53. - Bottle rockets.
- ... bottle rockets.
Copy !req
54. So, Dawson lights it.
We take off.
Copy !req
55. Mailbox explodes.
Copy !req
56. There's burning paper and metal
going everywhere, right?
Copy !req
57. Six months later,
we're at the Gas 'N Such,
Copy !req
58. and there's old man Slattery.
Copy !req
59. He's getting arrested
in the parking lot.
Copy !req
60. Bench warrant for not showing up
for jury duty.
Copy !req
61. There was a jury summons
in the fuckin' mailbox.
Copy !req
62. And that's what he gets for
failing my ass in English lit.
Copy !req
63. Look, it's the war criminal.
Copy !req
64. Hey, you're hungry,
I'll buy you a meal, man.
Copy !req
65. You know, help out the homeless.
Copy !req
66. This is the guy that
I was talking to you about.
Copy !req
67. You know, uh,
you and my friend Emmitt here,
Copy !req
68. you actually got something
in common.
Copy !req
69. Both played college football.
Copy !req
70. Old Emmitt here was Georgia
State's starting tight end
Copy !req
71. for three years.
Copy !req
72. According to your records,
you played one game for Army.
Copy !req
73. What happened, man?
You couldn't hack it?
Copy !req
74. - They kicked me off.
- What for?
Copy !req
75. Being too violent.
Copy !req
76. You're interrupting our lunch.
Copy !req
77. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
78. What kind of man are you?
Copy !req
79. A stupid man?
Copy !req
80. A bitter man?
Copy !req
81. Or are you just...
Copy !req
82. an insecure, spoiled rich boy
hiding behind Daddy's money?
Copy !req
83. It wasn't a rhetorical question.
Copy !req
84. I really want to know
what kind of man
Copy !req
85. enjoys intimidating
a woman half his size.
Copy !req
86. A woman who...
Copy !req
87. by the way,
is beyond intimidation.
Copy !req
88. I think I know
what kind of guy you are.
Copy !req
89. You're the kind of guy
that knows things.
Copy !req
90. You knew I'd come after you
Copy !req
91. when I saw what you did
to Roscoe.
Copy !req
92. You knew I'd see your truck
right outside.
Copy !req
93. A work truck whose bed's
never had anything in it
Copy !req
94. other than a keg.
Copy !req
95. And you knew I'd come in here
and cause a problem
Copy !req
96. that would most likely
get me in trouble.
Copy !req
97. But know what you don't know?
Copy !req
98. Mm. What's that?
Copy !req
99. What it feels like
when I hit you.
Copy !req
100. 'Cause if you did, you never
would have picked up
Copy !req
101. that paint can.
Copy !req
102. Okay.
Copy !req
103. Now let me tell you something
about Roscoe Conklin.
Copy !req
104. That little cocktease...
Copy !req
105. - Drop it.
- Hey!
I never liked you, Dawson.
Copy !req
106. - Don't make me prove it.
- Drop the knife,
or I drop you, KJ.
Copy !req
107. Son.
Copy !req
108. Put it down.
Copy !req
109. This ain't over.
Copy !req
110. - Anytime you want to dance.
— Since the moment this man arrived
Copy !req
111. in Margrave, there's been
nothing but violence.
Copy !req
112. And now he's attacked my son?
Copy !req
113. That's it,
you get him out of here.
Copy !req
114. Last time I checked,
you weren't my boss.
Copy !req
115. Captain Finlay...
Copy !req
116. you're a city boy,
Copy !req
117. so maybe you haven't heard
the expression.
Copy !req
118. But if you keep digging
for water under the outhouse,
Copy !req
119. you ain't gonna find nothin'
you can drink.
Copy !req
120. So you stop this nonsense
already
Copy !req
121. before someone gets hurt.
Copy !req
122. I-I saw the whole thing.
Copy !req
123. Junior and the boys were
just minding their own business,
Copy !req
124. when this guy came in and
started tearing up the place.
Copy !req
125. Thank you, Earl,
Copy !req
126. for being a good citizen
of Margrave.
Copy !req
127. Detective.
Copy !req
128. Roscoe, take Reacher outside.
Copy !req
129. See you soon, Junior.
Copy !req
130. Molly Beth died 'cause she cared
about a Reacher.
Copy !req
131. Yeah.
Copy !req
132. It's Teale.
Copy !req
133. Chief Teale.
Copy !req
134. Yes.
Copy !req
135. Uh... I wasn't aware of that.
Copy !req
136. It must have been an oversight
on my part.
Copy !req
137. What?
Copy !req
138. Are you kidding me? No, no, no.
I just got the report mixed up
Copy !req
139. with something else.
Motherfucker!
Copy !req
140. - Fuck you!
- Easy. What's going on?
Copy !req
141. - Teale just fired me.
- For what?
Copy !req
142. When the report came in
for Joe's car,
Copy !req
143. I said that the plates
matched a ride
Copy !req
144. belonging to a con
that Morrison put away.
Copy !req
145. Well, Teale just pulled up
the report
Copy !req
146. and saw that the car was
reported as having no plates.
Copy !req
147. He said that we're investigating
Copy !req
148. the murder
of a goddamn police chief.
Copy !req
149. He's not gonna have shoddy work
muck it up.
Copy !req
150. And then he shit-canned me.
Copy !req
151. You guys
have been running around,
Copy !req
152. not in the office that much.
Copy !req
153. He starts pulling up files
to check on your work.
Copy !req
154. - He's getting suspicious.
- I'll talk to him
and try to undo this.
Copy !req
155. - I'm not handing in my gun.
- With all that's going on,
I wouldn't want you to.
Copy !req
156. Just let me talk
to the man, okay?
Copy !req
157. This is bullshit!
Copy !req
158. What about him?
Copy !req
159. Is he going back to jail?
Copy !req
160. Kliner isn't pressing charges.
Copy !req
161. 'Cause he doesn't want
to go to court.
Copy !req
162. A lawsuit lets me ask
for discovery about KJ
Copy !req
163. for character impeachment:
Copy !req
164. his employment records
at Kliner Industries,
Copy !req
165. maybe Kliner's books.
Copy !req
166. They don't want that.
Copy !req
167. Okay, so what do we do now?
I'm not done with this
Copy !req
168. just 'cause I'm not a cop
anymore.
Copy !req
169. We go back to Joe's punch list.
Copy !req
170. It was his blueprint;
it should be ours, too.
Copy !req
171. We've been over it.
Copy !req
172. The professors
are still out of the country,
Copy !req
173. and your friend Neagley is
looking into the Memphis angle.
Copy !req
174. There's nothing
in Jobling's garage.
Copy !req
175. - So it's down to Gray's files.
- I told you,
Copy !req
176. he didn't leave anything behind.
Copy !req
177. Actually, he did.
Copy !req
178. Not files,
Copy !req
179. but he left you
his Desert Eagle.
Copy !req
180. Like, a year before he died.
Copy !req
181. Exactly.
People thinking about suicide
Copy !req
182. normally give away
their prize possessions
Copy !req
183. right before they take their
lives, not a full year prior.
Copy !req
184. I want to see the box
it came in.
Copy !req
185. Just be careful
with it.
Copy !req
186. It means a lot to me.
Copy !req
187. Empty.
Copy !req
188. Fuck.
Copy !req
189. Language.
Copy !req
190. Was there any kind
of file cabinet or lockbox
Copy !req
191. - in Gray's house when he died?
- No.
Copy !req
192. - Nothing.
- Any other place
Copy !req
193. he might have kept
something important?
Copy !req
194. The only places
Copy !req
195. Gray spent time were
the station and his house.
Copy !req
196. That's not entirely accurate.
Copy !req
197. When we were at the motel
in Alabama, you said
Copy !req
198. - Gray used to get his hair cut
once a week.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
199. Why does a man with hardly
any hair need a weekly trim?
Copy !req
200. Gray told me to give this
to nobody but you.
Copy !req
201. Also said if you
ever came looking for it,
Copy !req
202. he wanted you to know that...
Copy !req
203. he was proud of his girl.
Copy !req
204. He left me daisies.
Copy !req
205. According to
livestock auction receipts,
Copy !req
206. Kliner has 116 cattle.
All bought at once.
Copy !req
207. Oh, my God. Here we go
with the cows again.
Copy !req
208. It's a weird number.
Copy !req
209. Who buys 116 cattle?
You'd buy a lot.
Copy !req
210. - Twenty, 50, 100.
- Your point?
Copy !req
211. I don't know. It's just...
Copy !req
212. It was a hell of a lot
of animal feed.
Copy !req
213. Well, it was.
Copy !req
214. Tell me this.
Copy !req
215. When does a family farm
become a commercial farm
Copy !req
216. in Georgia?
How big does it have to get?
Copy !req
217. This is not a lead.
Copy !req
218. Humor me.
Copy !req
219. I don't know. I remember
Copy !req
220. when my uncle
got up to around 120 head,
Copy !req
221. he had to file
with the state. Why?
Copy !req
222. So, Kliner stops at 116.
Copy !req
223. Just under the number
where he'd be subject
Copy !req
224. to state inspectors
coming on his land,
Copy !req
225. - checking out his operation.
- What operation?
Copy !req
226. He has cows
and a herd that is not that big.
Copy !req
227. Let it rest, Stretch.
Copy !req
228. You know what was big?
Copy !req
229. If you say
"the amount of animal feed,"
Copy !req
230. I swear to God, you're not
Copy !req
231. gonna have to worry about Kliner
Copy !req
232. because I will cut
your balls off myself.
Copy !req
233. Tomato and mayo.
Copy !req
234. Thought you folks could use
Copy !req
235. a little sustenance.
Copy !req
236. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
237. Thank you.
Copy !req
238. You wouldn't
happen to have
Copy !req
239. any fruit or a salad,
would you, Mr. Mosley?
Copy !req
240. I got tomato salad.
Copy !req
241. With mayo.
Copy !req
242. Between two slices of bread.
Right-right in front of you.
Copy !req
243. Thank you.
Copy !req
244. You weren't kidding about the
quality of Gray's work, Roscoe.
Copy !req
245. It is meticulous.
Copy !req
246. He reviewed every tax return
for the Kliner Fund.
Copy !req
247. Almost
a full forensic accounting.
Copy !req
248. Seem there was money
pouring out of the fund,
Copy !req
249. but it doesn't match
income stream.
Copy !req
250. How does a charity attract
Copy !req
251. this much in donations when,
Copy !req
252. from what I can see,
it's solely focused on giving
Copy !req
253. to the businesses
and community groups
Copy !req
254. of one tiny Georgia town?
Copy !req
255. It doesn't.
Doesn't need donations
Copy !req
256. - when it can just print its own cash.
— Exactly.
Copy !req
257. He's been buying
everyone's silence.
Copy !req
258. It's insurance.
Copy !req
259. If Margrave citizens
Copy !req
260. ever see anything off
with Kliner, suspect anything,
Copy !req
261. if they're ever put on a jury
or even questioned,
Copy !req
262. Kliner has already bought
their loyalty
Copy !req
263. with the Kliner Fund.
Copy !req
264. So, Kliner owns Margrave
and its citizens.
Copy !req
265. This guy's
pulling all the strings.
Copy !req
266. - Are these files enough to prosecute him?
— No.
Copy !req
267. Tax returns
are the end of the rainbow.
Copy !req
268. Dry numbers
that simply represent actions.
Copy !req
269. In this case, ostensibly legal
charitable contributions.
Copy !req
270. We need direct proof linking
counterfeit cash to Kliner,
Copy !req
271. and we don't have it.
Copy !req
272. Of all the places to do this,
why Margrave?
Copy !req
273. There are dying towns all over.
Copy !req
274. I'll show you why.
Copy !req
275. What are you doing?
Copy !req
276. Margrave is perfectly located
for distribution.
Copy !req
277. The old state route
arterial systems
Copy !req
278. cross right through here.
Copy !req
279. Shipping fake cash from here,
Kliner's trucks
Copy !req
280. can avoid federal interstates
for most of the trip,
Copy !req
281. literally staying off the radar
of cops
Copy !req
282. with a much bigger presence
on busier highways.
Copy !req
283. He had a very well-oiled
and thought-out operation
Copy !req
284. to protect, so he protected it.
Copy !req
285. Okay. I get that.
Copy !req
286. But why would he
suddenly go scorched-earth?
Copy !req
287. A Secret Service agent
was investigating his operation.
Copy !req
288. He eliminated that threat.
Copy !req
289. So then he has
a police chief murdered?
Copy !req
290. Tries to take out another cop?
Copy !req
291. Then he goes after
the Secret Service agent's
Copy !req
292. civilian brother?
I mean, that seems
Copy !req
293. like a major overcorrection.
Copy !req
294. It's the Coast Guard blockade.
Copy !req
295. News has been talking about it
for days.
Copy !req
296. Blockades have been going on
for a year,
Copy !req
297. which means no funny money
coming into the U.S.
Copy !req
298. So there's a huge backlog
Copy !req
299. of counterfeit cash overseas,
making the whole outfit
Copy !req
300. vulnerable to being caught.
Copy !req
301. And Kliner's stateside
running low on supply.
Copy !req
302. His buyers are expecting pallets
of bills he can't provide,
Copy !req
303. and the kind of guys
that buy this kind of product
Copy !req
304. don't respond well
to disappointment.
Copy !req
305. What would you do with it all?
Copy !req
306. Maybe someone wants to
buy something really dangerous
Copy !req
307. that's really expensive.
Copy !req
308. Think suitcase nuke.
Copy !req
309. But they don't have the money
Copy !req
310. to do it,
so they're printing their own.
Copy !req
311. Or they want to destabilize
the U.S. economy.
Copy !req
312. Or destabilize
a strategic nation
Copy !req
313. that runs on U.S. currency,
Copy !req
314. like Panama,
which a significant percentage
Copy !req
315. of world trade
passes through each year.
Copy !req
316. Bottom line, I don't care
why they want to do it.
Copy !req
317. You and the FBI can
figure all that out
Copy !req
318. after the people that killed Joe
are dead.
Copy !req
319. Gray didn't commit suicide.
Copy !req
320. They fucking murdered him.
Copy !req
321. I'll talk to her.
Copy !req
322. I don't want to do it.
I'm not going.
Copy !req
323. You and your brother
are both getting your hair cut,
Copy !req
324. putting on your Sunday best
Copy !req
325. and marching yourselves
over there.
Copy !req
326. Our family is not a democracy.
Copy !req
327. You have no vote and no say.
Copy !req
328. - But...
- Shh.
Copy !req
329. Now, hold still
before Grace cuts your ear off.
Copy !req
330. All done. What do you think?
Copy !req
331. Sir. Ma'am.
Copy !req
332. Joe.
Copy !req
333. I'm very sorry
for what happened.
Copy !req
334. I have no excuse for my actions.
Copy !req
335. I hope you can forgive me,
Copy !req
336. though I understand
if you can't.
Copy !req
337. Your turn, Reacher.
Copy !req
338. No.
Copy !req
339. You've had nothing
but run-ins with Curtis
Copy !req
340. since we arrived.
Copy !req
341. Apologize.
Copy !req
342. No.
Copy !req
343. Look at my son.
Copy !req
344. You can't even bring yourself
to say you're sorry?
Copy !req
345. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
346. I'm sorry
Copy !req
347. the left side of his face
doesn't look like the right.
Copy !req
348. - Those fucking bastards spoke at his funeral.
— Roscoe.
Copy !req
349. You want to save your town?
Avenge Gray? Good.
Copy !req
350. Harness that.
Copy !req
351. Bad people should get
what's coming to them.
Copy !req
352. No apologies.
Copy !req
353. Neagley.
Copy !req
354. Got it.
Copy !req
355. What'd she say?
Copy !req
356. She said
she wanted dinner at 10:00,
Copy !req
357. but instead, she had it at 6:00.
Copy !req
358. What in God's name
does that mean?
Copy !req
359. Ten-six is MP radio code
for "send civilian police."
Copy !req
360. Means she's found something
important enough she doesn't
Copy !req
361. trust talking about it
on an unsecured line.
Copy !req
362. And she's taking a shot at me
for being a civilian now.
Copy !req
363. She likes to poke the bear.
Copy !req
364. I just can't vanish to Memphis
for a day or two.
Copy !req
365. Teale will get suspicious.
He's suspicious already.
Copy !req
366. Shouldn't come anyway.
Copy !req
367. - Neagley doesn't like meeting new people.
— If she can't
Copy !req
368. tell you where she is, how
the hell are you gonna find her?
Copy !req
369. Won't be a problem.
Copy !req
370. She'll avoid tourist traps
for privacy.
Copy !req
371. That eliminates anyplace
around Beale Street.
Copy !req
372. Also anything
around the university.
Copy !req
373. People older than college
students would stand out.
Copy !req
374. Neagley grew up broke,
Copy !req
375. so she watches her money.
Copy !req
376. Wherever she's staying
won't be five stars.
Copy !req
377. She'll choose
a decent discount hotel.
Copy !req
378. Something you'd find
near midtown,
Copy !req
379. close to public transportation.
Copy !req
380. Near a place to eat
that's reasonably priced
Copy !req
381. and isn't a chain restaurant.
Copy !req
382. Thank you.
Copy !req
383. How's it going, big fella?
Copy !req
384. Neagley.
Copy !req
385. I knew I'd track you down.
Copy !req
386. You wish.
Copy !req
387. I tracked you.
Copy !req
388. Ten years together
in Special Investigators,
Copy !req
389. I know how you think.
Copy !req
390. Figured I'd come to midtown,
avoid tourists,
Copy !req
391. find a serviceable hotel
Copy !req
392. close to mass transit,
near a decent restaurant.
Copy !req
393. And...
Copy !req
394. I know after a morning flight
with no meal service,
Copy !req
395. Jack The Beanstalk's
Copy !req
396. going straight
for the mess hall.
Copy !req
397. And you knew
I'd come to a bistro
Copy !req
398. because my mother was French.
Copy !req
399. It's got the biggest sign.
Copy !req
400. You're not that complicated.
Copy !req
401. And I wanted Cocoa Puffs.
Copy !req
402. All right, so you aren't
staying across the street?
Copy !req
403. Please.
Copy !req
404. Four Seasons.
Copy !req
405. I'm in the private sector now.
Copy !req
406. I've got miles.
Copy !req
407. Okay.
Copy !req
408. Let's go.
Copy !req
409. - I'll fill you in.
- I haven't eaten yet.
Copy !req
410. I got beignets.
Copy !req
411. Masticate on the move.
Copy !req
412. Pretty open space.
Copy !req
413. If anybody had a parabolic mic,
we'd see 'em.
Copy !req
414. - Safe to speak freely.
- Fine.
Copy !req
415. You need a woman in your life.
Copy !req
416. Oh, you mean about the case?
Copy !req
417. The "J.W." on your brother's
punch list was
Copy !req
418. an EPA investigator
named Jimmy Dupree Wilks.
Copy !req
419. - Was?
- Gunned down in his home.
Copy !req
420. Dead fed.
Copy !req
421. So FBI jumped in?
Copy !req
422. Determined it was
a random burglary gone bad.
Copy !req
423. You think they're wrong.
Copy !req
424. Murder weapon was
a small caliber,
Copy !req
425. nine millimeter, subsonic.
Copy !req
426. Burglars don't use silencers.
Copy !req
427. Most don't carry guns at all.
Copy !req
428. Also, burglars steal things.
Copy !req
429. Nothing was taken.
Copy !req
430. Affirmative.
Copy !req
431. One more odd detail.
Copy !req
432. The body was beaten
like a pinata.
Copy !req
433. Post-mortem.
Copy !req
434. Don't see that every day.
Copy !req
435. Happens more often
than you think.
Copy !req
436. Meaning?
Copy !req
437. That's what they did
to my brother.
Copy !req
438. Shit.
Copy !req
439. You're gonna kill a whole lot
of people, aren't you?
Copy !req
440. Already started.
Copy !req
441. Well, you should know, then,
I'm not the only one
Copy !req
442. who thought
there was something anomalous.
Copy !req
443. Memphis cop, Aucoin,
he caught the Wilks case
Copy !req
444. and was looking into it
before the FBI took over.
Copy !req
445. His original report noted
his suspicion.
Copy !req
446. So you tracked him down.
Copy !req
447. He said he's been waiting
five years for a call
Copy !req
448. from someone about this.
He and his partner
Copy !req
449. are gonna take us to meet
a CI: low-level hitman
Copy !req
450. who might know
who was hired to kill Wilks.
Copy !req
451. EPA investigators aren't
common targets.
Copy !req
452. Where was he poking around?
Copy !req
453. Made a FOIL request
for his records.
Copy !req
454. He was looking
into toxic pollution levels
Copy !req
455. in the Mississippi.
Copy !req
456. - Source?
- Wish I could tell you,
Copy !req
457. but the first two chapters
of Wilks' report
Copy !req
458. cover the extent
of the pollution
Copy !req
459. and the third chapter,
Copy !req
460. the one that deals
with the source, is missing.
Copy !req
461. Let me guess.
Copy !req
462. The EPA can't locate it.
Copy !req
463. Lost like Roanoke.
Copy !req
464. Like the pages were never
written.
Copy !req
465. But the pollution
Copy !req
466. seemed to hit hardest
at Chester, Arkansas.
Copy !req
467. So that's where we go.
Copy !req
468. Reacher...
Copy !req
469. they made files
disappear at a federal agency.
Copy !req
470. You're not tracking
some corporal
Copy !req
471. who punched his sergeant.
Copy !req
472. These people are connected
and stone-cold killers.
Copy !req
473. Something happens to you...
Copy !req
474. it would be
like losing two friends.
Copy !req
475. You know, given your size.
Copy !req
476. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
477. If a guy I like for the murders
was ordering 18-wheelers full
Copy !req
478. of animal feed when he doesn't
need nearly that much,
Copy !req
479. would you see a connection
with what we're looking into?
Copy !req
480. Not off the top of my head.
Copy !req
481. Hell of a lot
of animal feed, though.
Copy !req
482. That's why I like you, Neagley.
Copy !req
483. Why are you so big?
Copy !req
484. Genetics.
Copy !req
485. Beignet?
Copy !req
486. No, no, no, no!
Copy !req
487. Darn it!
Copy !req
488. Mm!
Copy !req
489. - Roscoe.
- Am I interrupting?
Copy !req
490. No, no, I was just
finishing, uh, finishing up
Copy !req
491. some wor...
uh, medical examining...
Copy !req
492. Um, what can I do for you?
Copy !req
493. Don't tell me
there's been another murder.
Copy !req
494. Maybe.
Copy !req
495. "No" would've been better.
Copy !req
496. When Officer Gray died,
Copy !req
497. I remember the mortician
Copy !req
498. saying that they had
to fix a cut on his head
Copy !req
499. with makeup and putty 'cause...
Copy !req
500. supposedly he was so drunk
that he fell trying to get up
Copy !req
501. on the chair to...
Copy !req
502. you know, the rope and all.
Copy !req
503. Yeah. I recall there being
a severe contusion.
Copy !req
504. It looked like he hit
the corner of a chair
Copy !req
505. or his workbench or something.
Copy !req
506. Can you... pull it up?
Copy !req
507. Yeah, okay.
Copy !req
508. Here it is.
Copy !req
509. Would like me to go
through these for you?
Copy !req
510. - Maybe I can find
what you're looking for.
- No.
Copy !req
511. Thank you, I'm fine.
Copy !req
512. Okay.
Copy !req
513. Instead of hitting his head
on something...
Copy !req
514. could something have
hit his head?
Copy !req
515. - Mean he was struck?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
516. That is exactly what I mean.
Copy !req
517. Suppose. Resulting wound would,
Copy !req
518. at least superficially,
look the same.
Copy !req
519. But truth be told,
I never looked
Copy !req
520. at the injury that way.
Copy !req
521. - Can you? Now?
- Oh... oh, okay.
Copy !req
522. I can zoom in tight,
see what's there.
Copy !req
523. There it is.
Copy !req
524. Well, that's interesting.
Copy !req
525. When you heighten contrast
on skin edema,
Copy !req
526. especially around
a head wound which produces
Copy !req
527. a lot of bleeding,
you pick up micro-lacerations,
Copy !req
528. which can often show the shape
Copy !req
529. of the object
causing the injury.
Copy !req
530. - Mm-hmm.
- So if I...
Copy !req
531. zoom in a little more...
Copy !req
532. Huh.
Copy !req
533. Kind of look like a diamond.
Copy !req
534. Doesn't it?
Copy !req
535. Yeah.
Copy !req
536. Damn right it does.
Copy !req
537. Mind if we ask you
some questions about the river?
Copy !req
538. I ain't got a license
and I ain't payin' no fine.
Copy !req
539. Not here about a license.
Copy !req
540. Really? Ya look government.
Copy !req
541. Good instincts,
but I don't care where you fish.
Copy !req
542. Ah, good.
Copy !req
543. There's an empty oil drum
right there, Pigpen.
Copy !req
544. Oil drum's cleaner
than the river.
Copy !req
545. That's why we're here.
Copy !req
546. To find out
what happened in Chester.
Copy !req
547. To the river.
Copy !req
548. Clarron Chemical's
what happened.
Copy !req
549. Took a big shit upstream.
Copy !req
550. Shit floated downstream.
Copy !req
551. Now all we got left is shit.
Copy !req
552. Who's Clarron?
Copy !req
553. Bunch of rich people
in business clothes
Copy !req
554. who tore through our town
like locusts,
Copy !req
555. not even leaving
bark on the trees.
Copy !req
556. They have anything
to do with animal feed?
Copy !req
557. Production of it, selling it?
Copy !req
558. I said Clarron Chemical.
Copy !req
559. Not Clarron Grain & Seed.
Copy !req
560. Where you going?
Copy !req
561. You're boring.
Copy !req
562. I still have questions.
Copy !req
563. You ain't the first man
come through
Copy !req
564. asking about
our stretch of the river.
Copy !req
565. EPA came through here years ago,
Copy !req
566. talking about
how the geography makes
Copy !req
567. the toxins settle here,
Copy !req
568. killing all the crawdads
and catfish.
Copy !req
569. Said he was gonna clean it up
Copy !req
570. 'cause no one could earn
on the water any more.
Copy !req
571. You know what he did?
Copy !req
572. Nothing. Know why?
Copy !req
573. No.
Copy !req
574. He was killed.
Copy !req
575. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
576. so was this town.
Copy !req
577. If the river's ruined, why fish?
Copy !req
578. What else am I gonna do
around here?
Copy !req
579. So Clarron Chemical's been
Copy !req
580. out of business for years.
Not bankruptcy, though.
Copy !req
581. Just dissolved.
Copy !req
582. But there was
a parent corporation.
Copy !req
583. Kliner Industries.
Copy !req
584. Looks like Kliner
destroyed Chester
Copy !req
585. and moved on to Margrave.
Copy !req
586. Joe wasn't the first
federal agent he had killed.
Copy !req
587. He had Wilks taken out, too,
Copy !req
588. before his polluting
was uncovered.
Copy !req
589. Just can't prove it.
Copy !req
590. Says who?
Copy !req
591. Got a text from Aucoin.
Copy !req
592. His CI's ready to meet.
Copy !req
593. Ms. Conklin, you come
to clean out your desk?
Copy !req
594. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
595. You fucking stupid fucker!
Copy !req
596. - I'll fucking kill you!
- Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
597. - That's assault!
- I'll fucking kill you!
Copy !req
598. - Do something with her, Finlay!
- Not another word. Quiet!
Copy !req
599. I'm gonna tase her,
I swear to God!
Copy !req
600. You see to the mayor,
I'll take care of her.
Copy !req
601. - Roscoe, let's go!
- Look at you!
Copy !req
602. - Roscoe, let's go!
- Fuck you!
Copy !req
603. - Here you go, boss.
- You're dead!
Copy !req
604. I got my handkerchief,
you asshole.
Copy !req
605. The hell is wrong with you?
Copy !req
606. We've been playing
cat and mouse with 'em.
Copy !req
607. They were suspicious.
Copy !req
608. But now they know
you know something!
Copy !req
609. I know that old bastard
killed Gray.
Copy !req
610. By now Teale's calling
for your arrest.
Copy !req
611. And once you're in custody,
they'll take you out
Copy !req
612. like they tried to kill Reacher
when they had him locked up.
Copy !req
613. You're not eight feet tall,
300 pounds
Copy !req
614. like our friend.
Copy !req
615. I got to get you out of town.
Copy !req
616. You can't show your face
in Margrave now.
Copy !req
617. Reacher, this is Officer Aucoin.
Copy !req
618. This is my partner, Ribidoux.
Copy !req
619. No thank you.
Copy !req
620. She's not big on contact.
Copy !req
621. Guy we're meeting is
a small time trigger-puller.
Copy !req
622. He knows his place in the food
chain. He's not the kind
Copy !req
623. to take out a fed or a cop,
but he keeps his ears open
Copy !req
624. and he's happy to talk
when it suits him.
Copy !req
625. - What makes you think
this will suit him?
- He's been a go-to CI.
Copy !req
626. - Wants to keep his seat
on the gravy train.
- Hey.
Copy !req
627. Why we got to do this, man?
Copy !req
628. This case is closed.
Copy !req
629. We got families. Let it go.
Copy !req
630. I can't.
Copy !req
631. This mess got a fed killed.
Copy !req
632. It ain't worth our lives, too.
Copy !req
633. If it was worth
my brother's life,
Copy !req
634. it's sure as hell worth yours.
Copy !req
635. It's...
Copy !req
636. Don't worry about him.
Copy !req
637. Unless he gets pissed at you,
then worry about him.
Copy !req
638. I'll check in.
Copy !req
639. That way, if anyone comes
looking for a crazy white lady
Copy !req
640. with a mean right hand,
desk clerk won't know
Copy !req
641. - she's staying here.
- For how long?
Copy !req
642. Until I figure out
what to do with you.
Copy !req
643. - You can't bench me.
- You benched yourself.
Copy !req
644. I got fired.
Copy !req
645. You're not my boss anymore,
remember?
Copy !req
646. I'm not doing this as your boss.
Copy !req
647. I'm doing this as your friend.
Copy !req
648. Now, stay put.
I'll be back in five.
Copy !req
649. Picard, what's up?
Copy !req
650. Before I say anything,
how do I know
Copy !req
651. it's not gonna bite me
in the ass?
Copy !req
652. This isn't part
Copy !req
653. of an official investigation.
Copy !req
654. As far as the MPD is concerned,
we aren't even here.
Copy !req
655. I promise
I won't come after you.
Copy !req
656. Yeah. What about him?
Copy !req
657. I don't give a shit about you.
Copy !req
658. Okay.
Copy !req
659. Look, I'm the kind
of guy that bad guys
Copy !req
660. call when they've got
a problem with another bad guy.
Copy !req
661. I don't do anything
that's gonna make the news,
Copy !req
662. and I sure as hell
do not fuck around
Copy !req
663. with badges, you feel me?
Copy !req
664. So if you don't kill cops,
who does?
Copy !req
665. Out-of-town talent.
Copy !req
666. - A name.
- Well, uh...
Copy !req
667. I don't know
what his mama called him,
Copy !req
668. but he goes by "the Viking."
Copy !req
669. That's it?
Copy !req
670. All I know.
Copy !req
671. You find the Viking,
you found your shooter.
Copy !req
672. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna get me a lap dance,
Copy !req
673. and no self-respecting
stripper's gonna come to a table
Copy !req
674. with two cops, this chick
Copy !req
675. and a pissed-off giant.
Copy !req
676. Adios.
Copy !req
677. Come on!
Copy !req
678. I said no!
Copy !req
679. - Hey.
- I said no.
Copy !req
680. When a woman says she doesn't
want to be touched,
Copy !req
681. she doesn't want to be touched.
Copy !req
682. You earned it.
Copy !req
683. We can go now.
Copy !req
684. Some nice moves back there.
Copy !req
685. Better than the guy
who taught 'em to me.
Copy !req
686. Yeah?
Copy !req
687. Reacher,
we've had a development.
Copy !req
688. Roscoe used Teale's head
as a punching bag.
Copy !req
689. - Good.
- Not good.
Copy !req
690. Target on her back
went neon.
Copy !req
691. Already got a call
from Stevenson saying
Copy !req
692. Teale wants a warrant out
for Roscoe's arrest.
Copy !req
693. Can't trust Stevenson.
Copy !req
694. I told him she was furious
about getting fired
Copy !req
695. and that she jumped
out of my car
Copy !req
696. at a stop light and took off.
Copy !req
697. Roscoe?
Copy !req
698. I'm here.
Copy !req
699. Sorry, I just, uh...
Copy !req
700. I lost it.
Copy !req
701. No apologies, remember?
Copy !req
702. You got to get out of town.
Copy !req
703. Already did. At a motel
Copy !req
704. across the state line,
but we have a better option.
Copy !req
705. Picard just called, said that
he's gonna lose his job
Copy !req
706. if he doesn't find someone else
Copy !req
707. to take care of Charlie
and the kids.
Copy !req
708. So I'm gonna take over.
Copy !req
709. What about the Tweed Tornado?
Copy !req
710. Thinking we have
to kick things up a notch.
Copy !req
711. Gray's files didn't
have everything we need, right?
Copy !req
712. Know whose do?
Copy !req
713. Kliner's. I go to the source
after hours.
Copy !req
714. See if I can get evidence
that nails this thing down.
Copy !req
715. No security cameras, remember?
Copy !req
716. Boy Scout's gonna do
an illegal search?
Copy !req
717. Desperate times.
Copy !req
718. Besides, it's not like
I'm killing someone.
Copy !req
719. You'll come around.
Copy !req
720. How's it going over there?
Copy !req
721. Got a lead
on a shooter who took out
Copy !req
722. an EPA agent
digging into Kliner.
Copy !req
723. Just a matter of time
before I get my hands on him.
Copy !req
724. Hey...
Copy !req
725. I need you to promise me
Copy !req
726. that you're not gonna
take out Teale without me.
Copy !req
727. When the time comes,
I'll hold him while you hit him.
Copy !req
728. Well...
Copy !req
729. guess, uh...
Copy !req
730. won't be seeing you for a while.
Copy !req
731. I guess not.
Copy !req
732. Bye, Reacher.
Copy !req
733. Bye, Roscoe.
Copy !req
734. You like her.
Copy !req
735. How'd you know Roscoe was
a woman?
Copy !req
736. From how you said her name.
Copy !req
737. I said her name normally.
Copy !req
738. - Mm-hmm.
- I said it normally.
Copy !req
739. - Yeah, yep.
- Tell me how I said it.
Copy !req
740. When we get
to the precinct we'll go
Copy !req
741. through the alias database,
Copy !req
742. We'll look up "Viking,"
see what pops up.
Copy !req
743. People behind this have reach,
Copy !req
744. maybe even into Memphis PD.
Copy !req
745. We can't just walk right in.
Copy !req
746. - No. We can't.
- Hey, what are you doing, man?
Copy !req
747. - Ribidoux, hold on.
- Shoot him, Aucoin.
Copy !req
748. - Put the gun down.
— Listen to me, you got to shoot him.
Copy !req
749. - Don't move! They
threatened to torture my family.
- Hey, whoa, hold on!
Copy !req
750. - Shoot him!
- Draw your weapon and fire!
Copy !req
751. They showed me a video of them
cutting a cop's balls off!
Copy !req
752. You don't have to do this.
There's no need...
Copy !req
753. - Grab your gun and fire
or you're gonna die!
- Shoot!
Copy !req
754. - You don't have to do this!
- I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
755. No, no, hold on!
Wait, wait, wait! Wait! Don't...
Copy !req
756. Fuck.
Copy !req
757. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
758. So sorry...
Copy !req
759. I'm gonna pull in the woods,
Copy !req
760. and I'm gonna open the door.
Copy !req
761. I'm gonna shoot you
really quick.
Copy !req
762. All right?
I... I promise a clean shot.
Copy !req
763. A fast death.
Copy !req
764. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
765. Fuck! Okay, okay!
Copy !req
766. Oh, God.
Copy !req
767. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
768. Help! Get me out of here,
please! Help!
Copy !req
769. - Who threatened you?
- I-I don't know!
Copy !req
770. - I need a name!
- Tell him!
Copy !req
771. I don't know. They had accents.
Copy !req
772. That's all I know! Please!
Copy !req
773. Please...
Copy !req
774. Please let me out.
Copy !req
775. My friend and I are
getting out of here.
Copy !req
776. I can try and take you
with us, but if I do,
Copy !req
777. you're going to jail,
and they'll kill you inside.
Copy !req
778. And then they'll come
for your family,
Copy !req
779. and you know
what they'll do to them.
Copy !req
780. It's your call.
Copy !req
781. Hail Mary...
Copy !req
782. full of grace,
Copy !req
783. the Lord is with thee,
blessed are thou...
Copy !req
784. Take a deep breath.
Copy !req
785. You do not mess
with the Special Investigators.
Copy !req
786. You do not mess
Copy !req
787. with the Special Investigators.
Copy !req
788. Try these.
Copy !req
789. What now?
Copy !req
790. If Kliner forced
that cop to kill us,
Copy !req
791. odds are he hired
the Viking, too.
Copy !req
792. Finlay's breaking
into Kliner's office tonight.
Copy !req
793. Maybe when he flips
over that rock,
Copy !req
794. something important
will scurry out.
Copy !req
795. I'm gonna head back to Margrave.
Copy !req
796. You got to be shittin' me.
Copy !req
797. This turned into more
than you bargained for
Copy !req
798. when you agreed to help.
Copy !req
799. Do me a favor and walk away.
Copy !req
800. From the guys who killed your
brother and tried to kill us?
Copy !req
801. Right.
Copy !req
802. It's not a request.
Copy !req
803. And you're not
my commanding officer anymore.
Copy !req
804. I'm going back to Memphis.
Copy !req
805. See what I can find out
about The Viking.
Copy !req
806. I'll call you when I know more.
Copy !req
807. Be safe, boss.
Copy !req
808. You, too.
Copy !req
809. Guess you're not pulling
all the strings, huh, Kliner?
