Meet the new boss, just like the old boss. This episode finally begins with Reacher face to face with Xavier Quinn. Now Julius McCabe is driving, but he is still the same for a sick whore who tortured and killed the protected Protéer, first -class sergeant Dominique Kohl, in 2012, and then wonderfully survived Reacher’s effort to murder him.

Surprise! The guy has no idea who Reacher is. Apparently, amnesia, which he claimed, suffered after Reacher shot him in the face 13 years ago, was legal. Quinn/McCabe – whom I will simply call Quinn for the rest of this briefing – he even interrupts his own reprimand by Beck for employing an ATF agent as his hostess, to praise him for the high and equally wide water drink standing next to him. He doesn’t even notice that Reacher holds the gun behind him.

Quinn explains Beck and Reacher – AND For Duffy and Villanueva, listening through a super-personal publishing of a government reacher of a mobile phone is no longer even bothering in his shoe-that Duffy’s informant Teresa Daniel Alive keeps the guide by Duffy, because “the client has something for Rudy.” Quinn deals with weapons for profit, but he deals with human trafficking for free. It is really a much more wicked heel shit than his puppet Zachary Beck. But he still needs Zachary Alive to complete this great, expecting sales, because the “client” expects to close the contract with Zachary.

Meanwhile, the Russian gangster appears to collect a debt from Quinn. Quinn apparently knows enough Russian to translate his lender’s response to his request for more time as “give a man nails and he will take his whole arm.” This guy must be a really bad news if Quinn is afraid of him.

Returning Pa Beck back to his residence, Reacher takes a strange twist into a family advisor mode, saying that his son deserves knowledge that the reason he was forced to bear for the last five years is that Welp, his old man is a shooter. Sure, Zachary Beck has absorbed his business in a more violent and ruthless buyer, but his sins are much worse than just bribing customs officials to avoid import duties on rugs or anything else. He put the weapon in the hands of the killers. It makes no sense that Beck knows everything about a Quinn contract made with a Russian crowd, when Quinn treats him as a butler rather than a partner, but writers must somehow stick this exhibition into our mouth.

Reacher’s experiments with human empathy are ongoing when he states that Richard is staring at the sea and intui that the kid must consider suicide. Richard doesn’t even deny it. Reacher suggests that they go to the city, to find glue for repairing vintage toys Richard pistol bought as a gift for the upcoming 50th birthday of Zachary, which was damaged by the trio of 35-year-old persecutors before Reacher defeated them Episode third.

Certainly in this massive house there is a glue tube, but it is about a trip, not its alleged goal. We learn that Reacher suggested it so that he could meet Duffa and return his badge. In what you really can’t call rare Violation of discipline, Duffy is so grateful that Reacher not only killed Quinn when he had a chance, which convicted their chances of saving Teresa that he was planting him kiss. Her reaction to her own indiscretion – “What is shit!?” – I actually made me laugh. Reacher is concerned when Villanueva appears, not because the old timer is cockblockin ‘, but because he is afraid that Richard will recognize Ville as an ordinary cop, who Reacher “killed” in the first episode. Indeed, when Richard goes to this avenue just a few seconds later, the device is like a beloved Pixar movie from 2009: Up.

Reacher is waiting for him to be alone in a car with Richard, to come down: he infiltrated Zachary’s house and company to save Teresa and kill Quinn. The kid indicates that the best case is that his dad goes to prison. “He is already in prison,” says Reacher. “You too”.

Zachary Beck seriously bites in this episode, expressing his jealousy for the way Richard looks at Reacher. When Reacher indicates he protects Both Becks, Zachary tells him: “People with this description of the position are susceptible to catching bullets. I wonder when yours is coming? “The anger and jealousy of Zachary towards Reacher are inappropriate, but – as so disappearing few elements Reacher – Probable and convincing.

This is not Richard, who ultimately blows up the cover of Reacher. The fact that Quinn learns from a certain identified source that requires officer Powell on the 110th special investigation unit, led his license plate AND A friend of this Reacher and a frequent partner in Vigilante-Justice Frances Neagley, earlier 110, attracted military documentation on Angel Doll, Winston Duke and Paulie van Hoven shortly after.

Powell, this officer of the order who was so stunned when he talked to the legendary major Jack Reacher Episode firstHe proves that he is not a fanboy with clay, absorbing a brutal beating, refusing to give up the name of Reacher. (He he did Already the name to Duffy after she threatened to accuse him of hindering justice, i.e. in how Duffy Ropeing Reacher in her reckless secret surgery.) Convinced Powell will not talk, Quinn orders the torturers “tear him away from the language to convicte and allowed him.” What a jerk!

Neagley appoints better by sending two buttons to kill it in a chicken skyscraper. Apparently, he is the only person present not only on this floor, but in the whole damn building, because dozens of unused shot shots she and two exchanges of Hitmen do not answer as long as Neagley Dials 911 itself. PISS security for what we were told, is an elite company dealing with privacy! When one of Neagley’s attackers is bleeding with his stomach, he asks a woman he just tried to kill, is called an ambulance, Neagley replies: “You are an ambulance.”

Dad is kidding, more than any other single element, make me watch Reacher. More! WITH! These!

In any case, the fact that both sides checking Quinna and his colleagues are present or former members of the 110th, makes even a mannequin such as Beck invented that Reacher, who used his reputation as the founder of this unit to convince Beck to hire him, is a traitor. Quinn orders Paulie upstairs to shoot a (smaller) large man, but Reacher is already running for the garage. It is intelligent enough to launch the tires of other vehicles on the way to the theft of a pickup equipped with a snow plow to break through the front gate.

Even this large, belt -fed machine gun in the guard cannot stop him from making a good escape, although it causes enough damage to the truck to force him to drop it. He calls Duffy for help, but not earlier than a few supporters going to ATV, he chases him in the forest. What starts with the next shooting transforms into a horror scenario: Reacher covers his face in the membrane like Arnold at the end Predator And he kills the last of the attackers, suffocating him with a winch mounted on one of the ATVs. MacGyver would never do!

At Beck House, Quinn wonders that “nothing beats a serrated knife”, while showing really amateur kitchen operation skills. He tortures both Becks, making Zachary, as he forces Richard to play Russian roulette. Richard’s chances are bad than Reacher when Beck forced Reacher to play, because this revolver is a fivefold model instead of six shooters. (In addition, Richard does not have a cutout in the cylinder to help him see which chamber is in which reacher did it.) When Richard survives, Quinn demands a “matching set.” It has a fever, and the only recipe is more cut off.

One might think that Reacher was too overwhelmed by regret, confusion, physical pain or some unhappy cocktail of all these things, performing the corpse of poor Annette to utilize the last episode to pay attention, while Harley shouted about how this unplanned murder meant that his weekend plans. But no! Reacher heard Harley boasted his boat Sweet MarieBecause in the blink of an eye, Reacher now tells Duffy that Łódź is a place where Teresa is kept. They swim to examine, finding evidence that Teresa was actually kept there in sedation. They are still on board when Harley appears. Convinced that he was telling the truth when he tells them that he does not know where Quinn moved the hostage, they leave him on board Sweet Mariewho caught fire after trying to shoot Duffy. Instead of trying to extinguish the flames, Reacher throws more fuel. And this is an explosive pack for Harley, a disgusting small weasel.

Reacher is subject to Duffy for stealing a pan on his presumably the range of garbage when they change from seeds, but he is more nervous that their last advantage in finding Teresa simply blew up into the air. But Reacher has a different idea. “Pack a sunscreen,” he says. “We’re going to Los Angeles.”

I wonder what the Canadian metropolis will play in the city of angels.

• When Neagley kills two Hitters who attack her in their office, she is wearing a T -shirt promoting Syrena records at Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Margaret Lee van Buren Center for Creation and Activity is Fictitious landmark of DoylestownBut Siren Records is real!

• I was waiting for three episodes on Richard Bullies Richard’s Batdown in the center of Abbottsville to get some consequences. The tense relations of Reacher with inept and/or corrupt local law enforcement agencies are a repeated feature of the novel by Reacher Lee Child and their screen adaptation, but it seems that in Abbottsville there are no local law enforcement agencies.
