- Somehow, the desert ended up forgiving you, didn't it?
- We don't forgive as easily in margrave.
- Watch your back, Mr. Reacher.

- Looks like we found her.
- She wants to meet us at the top of the escalator.

- But I appreciate you having my back.
- Of course.
- You hear from reacher?
- We're meeting him at Jolene's.
- Said he found something.
- Good. 'Cause so did I.

- Go on.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Really sorry I got you into this.
- It wasn't my intention...
- Remember when I said
- "shut up" on the bus?
- Same rule goes forjail.

- No. Mud room.
- It's an agrimony burr.
- They grow on tall grass all around here.
- We call them hitchhikers,
- 'cause they stick on you and they go for a ride.
- They grow where my brother was killed?

- Come on, Finlay.
- There's got to be something else.
- Let's see what they got here.
- No. No.
- Here we go.
- Best opening to any rock song ever.

Jasper: [Examining body] Holy shit! His fucking balls are gone!
Oscar: Keep it professional, Jasper. Cussing's the sign of a weak mind and a weaker character.

- but hopefully, it will one day, when you're older.
- Joe, you don't need to solve all the world's problems.
- Solving some is more than enough.
- And, reacher, you have the strength of three boys your age.
- What will you do with that strength, hmm?
- You're going to do what's right.

- What, do you moonlight for the psychic phone network?
- You can tell a lot about a person by their pseudonyms.
- Take from it what you will, but I like forgotten vice presidents and Yankees second basemen.
- Oh. If I'd known that,
- I would have checked us in under Willie Randolph.

- Little further.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Reacher: Oh.
- Don't bother trying to find out my real name.
- Cause any problems, you'll wish
- I'd finished strangling you.

- Where is he?
- We've got to go get reacher.
- He'll be okay.
- How do you know that?
- Because he's reacher.
- Roscoe, let's go.
- What are you doing?

- Then I'll trade mommy and the girls for daddy.
- Picard's got my number memorized.
- If I don't get a call from you by 6:00 am.
- Saying hubble's in custody, those four ladies I'm holding die in ways you can't even imagine.

Jack: [Examining 1st victim's scarred left hand] We were wrestling. i pinned him against the stove. Didn't know my mother had just turned it off. That's how my brother got this scar.

Oscar: The dung has officially hit the fan.
Jack: "The dung." Just curse, Finlay.

- Dispatcher: We got a stranded vehicle around 80 on the eastbound side.
Officer: 247. About ten out.

- Your house isn't safe anymore.
- Pack your bags.
- Finlay?
- Got an ID on the body that was found with Joe.
- We gotta get you to the morgue.

- to the way it was before he came here.
- My parents would love to have us in tupelo.
- I know.
- And pretty soon, we're gonna need the free babysitting.
- When can we start telling people?
[Laughs softly] Soon.

- I'm gonna shower.
- We didn't order room service and we don't need housekeeping.
- If anybody tries to come through that door...
- Shoot 'em.

Jack: [Riding back from prison with Roscoe] I'm gonna need some new clothes first. Lockup's made me a bit gamey.
Roscoe: Oh, we got a Merl's Men shop in town.
Jack: I don't need anything that fancy. Just T-shirt and jeans. I travel light.

Roscoe: Shit.
- Run!

- The omens, they never lie on this, on this, oh, you can rely cold night sweats with sleep dreams untrue I see they trouble my humble mind oh, this, oh, this, you can't deny

- Thank you.
- Ohl ugh!
- Reacher: Om reacher: That's my fault.
- Oh, why don't y'all take another booth while I clean this up?
- No, no.
- Actually, we got to go.
- You better be right about Augusta.

Meteorologist: A viewer in warburton county sent us this video of his basement flooding.
- He says that the sump pump isn't able to keep up...
Meteorologist: Now under a flash flood warning.

- How come your owner's buying you and your pals so much feed?
- Lot of help you are.

- And you're not my commanding officer anymore.
- I'm going back to Memphis.
- See what I can find out about the viking.
- I'll call you when I know more.
- Be safe, boss.
- You, too.

Roscoe: [Looking at computer] There's no facebook, snapchat, instagram. No driver's license, mortgage, insurance claims. No online profile at all. the only proof Jack Reacher exists is the fact that he's sitting in that room.

- They came into my house that I fixed up with my money in the town that my family founded because they think they are untouchable.
- You want a gun?
- Uh-huh.
- Fine by me.

- Well, she must have missed us and walked right by.
- No one misses me when they walk by.
- Something's wrong.
- We need to split up. You take the stairs, you take the elevator.
- To the side, to the side.
- Oh, fuck.

- Well, that's not good.
- What's going on?
- We're not with guys awaiting arraignment.
- We're with the lifers.
- What do you mean, lifers?
- I mean people sentenced for life.

- I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee
- I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee hard to tell about a man like me

- Don't let anyone stop you from doing your job.
- All right. Time to shine.
- Wait.
- I got this.
- If I'm gonna die,
- I'm goin' to flavor country one last time.

- What's goin' on?
- Road east to the highway's flooded.
- No one's getting through tonight.
- Is there a motel near here?

- Your father and I never saw any need to prevent either of you from following your natures.
- Your natures are pure, like your hearts.
- I need to make a quick call.
- I'll be right back.
- Mon ange, me rapproche.

- Neagley.
Frances: There's too much smoke.
- We gotta go!
- Finlay: Roscoe! Over here.
- Finlay: Are you okay?
Roscoe: Yeah.
Frances: Let's go!
- Finlay: Let's go.

- I'm a big girl.
- Whoa, look at this.
- Hey, take a beat, champ.
- We're far from margrave.
- Not far enough.
- I say go, you duck.

- You do not mess with the special investigators.
- You do not mess with the special investigators.
Frances: Try these.

[repeated line]
Jack: In an investigation, details matter.

- Let's go, Billy! Dance!
- Dance! Dance!
- Okay, Mr. Predicto, should Billy keep dancing?
- "All signs indicate yes."
- Come on, man!

- I'm just gonna break the hands of three drunk kids.
[Chuckles] There's four of us here.
- One of you has got to drive to the hospital.
[Laughs] Ooh...
- I... I know where the hospital is.
- What the hell just rolled into margrave?

- I met a gal
- I couldn't get her off my mind
- I met a gal
- I couldn't get her off my mind she passed me up said she didn't like my kind

- The victim grabbed it in the struggle, causing his fingertips to swell in a histaminic reaction.
- His dental work's off
- 'cause he had his teeth fixed wherever he was living at the time.
- Broke his right arm when he was eight, had it set in Berlin.
- Had his tonsils taken out at ten in Seoul.

- and dig your thumb into his eye until he tells you why he confessed to a murder he didn't commit.
- Something like that.
- Yeah, well, I'm gonna be there to make sure that doesn't happen.
- Now, I can either follow you the whole way, or you can save the shoe leather and get in the damn car.

- Thanks.
- For the watch thing.
- Shut up.
- You ruined my trip here.

- Look. There he is.
- Crime scene's worse than anything I ever saw in Boston.
- And I saw things in Boston.
- Was he nailed to a wall?
- How did you know that?
- Finlay: Hey.

KJ: You know, after I bodied Morrison, my old man lost it. He started talking about how he's gonna send me away to an institution for a while for rest.
[laughs]
KJ: He tried that once when I was a kid... but it didn't take.

- Dog didn't do anything to anybody.
- Doesn't deserve this.
- I told you to stay off my property!
- Seriously?
- Let's see how you like it.
- Reacher: Let's go, boy.
- Come on.

Jack: Tall people never have enough room for their feet.

- Son of a bitch.
- Mierda!
- Mateo!

- Okay.
- She'll either be on the gold or red northbound train.
- They arrive on different platforms.

Oscar: [to Reacher] You seem to be confused about your role in this situation. You are my detainee and suspect, not my partner or my equal. And you're certainly not by employment, appearance, or lifestyle choice a cop any more.

Jack: Got a gun?
Oscar: Yeah. Snubnose 38.
Jack: Better than crying for help.

Meteorologist: Lightning is dangerous.
- Take shelter in homes, businesses and hard-topped vehicles...
Meteorologist: But if you find yourself out there in the elements, stay off elevated areas.

- Jesus Christ!
- Fuck! Okay, okay!

- We also have flash flood warnings in for lagrange, summerville, carrol/ton, Manchester, margrave, peachtree city, woodland, Franklin, junction city, union, Weston,
- Hamilton, orchard hill, Greenville, and zebulon, as well as the greater macon area.

- Regulations say...
- The only thing up my ass right now is you.
- So if you think you can perform the inspection without getting seriously injured, go for it.
- Othennise, check the box on your clipboard.

- Well, he was your prisoner, and I'm not losing my job over this.
- Is there somewhere we can meet up, get our stories straight before lawyers start sniffing around?
- Okay.
- See you there, jackass.

- Why'd you lie?
- They would've gotten emotional.
- We don't have the time.
- Oh. Thought maybe after Charlie hubble and Molly Beth, you needed a breather from breaking bad news.
- We don't have the time.

- Can I help you?
- I need a suit.
[Scoffs] I don't know
- I have enough fabric.
- I don't have time forjokes.
- I need something now.
- A football player on the giants, he never pick up a custom job.
- You want a pocket square?
- Okay.

- You're not.
- You're 12, reacher.
- I'm not letting you get involved.
- But, Joe, I can...
- Your instinct was to keep your mouth shut.
- It was the right one.
- Now stay out of it.

- Take the dog to a no-kill shelter, then drop me off at hubble's.
- Last car they gave me is full of bullet holes.
- Need a new one.
- Finlay: Okay, we'll see you at the station house parking lot.
- Hey. Are you okay?
- I never should have let her get involved.

- And when all that fear is out of your system,
- I think you're gonna find that not only can you do it, you'll want to do it.
- In the meantime, Paul...
- Don't gnaw at the gate.

- Hey, boy.
- Finlay got you watching his car?
- Making you listen to shit music?
- He got you a tweed collar.

Jack: Love the smell of gasoline.

- Go get your kids.
- Thank you.
- Comeon!
- Pauh come on.
- Oh, get down. Get down.
- Yeah.

- I was ready and she was strong thanks.
- Wait, she said, slow it down it's not a twist-off.
- Till you hear that engine go through town...
- Show off.

- And then they'll come for your family, and you know what they'll do to them.
- It's your call.
- Hail Mary...
- Full of grace, the lord is with thee, blessed are thou...
- Take a deep breath.

- Zoom in a little more...
- Huh.
- Kinda look like a diamond.
- Doesn't it?
- Yeah.
- Damn right it does.

- No idea.
- You weren't close?
- Very close.
- Went through a lot together.
- But that's when I was in the army.
- And now?
- I'm not in the army.

- You can fill in the blanks.
- I sent the kids away, but stayed to give the adults a choice.
- They could turn themselves in to Iraqi police or they'd answer to me.
- I knew they'd come for me...
- So when they did, I was ready.

Jack: [When Hubble sits too close in the prison yard] I'm not a ventriloquist. Get off my lap.

- Excuse me?
- Not until you let these zip ties come off.
- We both know I didn't kill anybody, and they're uncomfortable.
- Get the box cutter.
- Reacher: That's okay.
- I got it.

- Hey, somebody's texting you, buddy.
- Oh, I'll get it.
[Singing] I wish that I knew that her love could be true...
- "Duck and cover"?
- What the hell does that mean?

- She'd be a very strong maid.
- You know we're on the seventh floor?
- No one's got the wingspan to reach that window, not even you.
- I know half a dozen sharpshooters that could take us out on the 15th roor.
- Don't sleep with your head where it's expected to be, either.

- Like, a year before he died.
- Exactly.
- People thinking about suicide normally give away their prized possessions right before they take their lives, not a full year prior.
- I want to see the box it came in.
Roscoe: Just be careful with it.
- It means a lot to me.

- I am, too.
- But don't do anything crazy while I'm gone.
- Stick to the plan.
- Go see what you can find at hubble's.
- I will.
- But first, I'm gonna ask the last cop in margrave to lunch.

- You just killed my cousin.
- Now I'm gonna paint your skull all over the ground...

- No, you didn't.
- Bowl was bone-dry.
- You calling me a liar?
- Yes.
- Well, I suggest you leave my property.
- Good boy.

- When my parents died, I was old enough to remember all of it and young enough to understand none of it.
- You're hurting, and you still tried to comfort Molly Beth.
- Joe was right.
- You're a good man.

- Six months later, we're at the gas 'n such, and there's old man slattery.
- He's getting arrested in the parking lot.
- Bench warrant for not showing up forjury duty.
- There was a jury summons in the fuckin' mailbox.
- And that's what he gets for failing my ass in English lit.

- It takes bravery to solve the world's problems, too, Joe.
- All my life I've been a travelin' man all my life I've been a travelin' man stayin' alone and doing the best I can

- Okay, I'll be right there.
- What's going on?

- Your grandfather's war medal.
- For bravery in the face of danger.
- It takes bravery to do what's right.

- Man: I see him!
- Yes. Okay. Okay.
- Take her out of here.
- You good?

- to, you know, uh...
- I missed talking to you, too.
- Good night, Roscoe.
- Everything cool?
- Better than cool.
- I think reacherjust busted this whole thing wide open.

Oscar: What if I'm thinking I'm sitting across from a man who doesn't mind killing and who has the knowledge and training to murder someone and cover it up?
Jack: You'd be right. But not this murder.

- Seems like that went well.
- Shut up.
- Let's go get the car.
- Reacher: Did Roscoe check in with you lately?
- Finlay: No, but I should hear from picard later today.

- Here we go.
- Come on.
- There you go, stay close.
- Not too close.
- There you go.
- Stay with me, boys.

- all without consequence.
- But in life, there's always consequences.
- There was one for that rhino.
- That's why his head's up in my daddy's hallway.
- Right next to where yours will go.

- You copy, captain?
- And the bodies by the highway?
- A police officer was crucified!
- I think that takes priority.
- Or did they do things differently up there in Massachusetts?
- Copy that.

- I got Finlay.
- Inoficed.
- Well, it's good to see you alive.
- Reacher: All right.
- Let's hit the gun locker, the ammo safe.
- Grab anything useful.

- Just tail him.
- Make sure he goes straight back to the motel.

- I was thinking when Joe died, there was almost no one left in the world I cared about.
- And that felt bad.
- And then I met you...
- And I felt better.
- Come on, we got to change a tire.

- Junior and the boys were just minding their own business, when this guy came in and started tearing up the place.
- Thank you, Earl, for being a good citizen of margrave.
- Detective.
- Roscoe, take reacher outside.
- See you soon, junior.

Jack: [When 5 guys confront hi in prison shower room] If you boys knew what's about to happen to you, you'd leave now. So I'll give you to the count of three. One...
[Reacher headbutts first guy before he even gets to 'two.']

- Boys, come here.
- Is what he said true?
- Yes.
- It's not fair that you get in trouble.
- That's right.
- Should have thought of that before you did what you did.

- Now, what are the rules?
- Thank you.
- Both locks, no lights when we're sleeping, and don't use the fireplace.
- Good job.
- You're gonna get through this.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for everything you have done.
- I'm leaving you in good hands.

- Teale: No! No!
Roscoe: Stop!
- Don't fuckin' do that.

Man: Taxi? Taxi!
- Over here! Hi.

- You know you never got the call 'cause I didn't want the romance hey...
- Call in the cavalry hey...
- I'll take some victory

- If you want to keep your family alive, you need to listen to me carefully and do everything I say.
- Okay.
- Can I ask you one question?
- Okay.
- Why are two of my windows tinted?

- Two shooters, better odds.
- You have experience with long-range kill shots?
- I do.
- Put the biscuit in the basket.
- Our friend around the corner heard 'em fall.
- Go, go, go, go, go.

- Looks like a punch list.
- Oh!
- Cover!
- The tire's blown.
- Soon as I fire, we run in opposite directions.
- Harder to hit us if we split up.
- On three. One, two, three.

- Safe to say you never shot anyone before?
- I've never fired a gun.
- Okay.
- All you got to do is extend, aim, fire.
- No point in having a weapon unless it's ready for instant use.
- You hesitate, you die.
- Only point it at the bad guys.
