Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Page #2

You were right, Major.

I am tired.

But I'm not stupid.

Seargants Mirkovich and Cibelli.

Two weeks ago, Major Turner dispatches

them to Afghanistan on an investigation.

And they file reports daily.

Two days ago, they're both found

dead near Bagram Airbase.

Shot at close range.

The next day Major

Turner's thrown in prison.

What do you know about Para Source?

Para Source?

It is...

a big military contractor.

Why?

I don't know how they're

involved in all this,

but they've been following

me since I got here ..

Whoever killed Mirkovich and Cibelli,

wanted Major Turner isolated.

I think they're going to kill her too.

What are you talking about? You have no

idea if any of these things are connected.

- We need to get her out. - And might I

reiterate she does not want you involved.

Do it now.

I'll call you tonight.

[MOTEL]

People question the value of enhanced

interrogation techniques.

Enhanced interrogation techniques don't work.

Torture on the other hand, works very well.

No..

Attorney client privilege goes back to the

earliest days of English common law.

It means, that Major Turner

told you in confidence.

A great deal about what she learned

from her investigation in Afghanistan.

How much did you tell Jack Reacher?

No...

We didn't talk about that...

Of course you did.

No...

We talked for 10...

10 minutes.

10 minutes is a very long time.

As you're about to learn.

- No ..

[MILITARY POLICE]

Jack Reacher? Colonel Morgan

was wondering if you have a few minutes.

You don't remember me do you?

Anthony Espin.

Ah, you were still C.O. when I got here.

Held back my promotion for 6 months.

Why'd I do that? - Cause you were hard ass person said I

jumped to conclusions. - I'm sure I jumped to conclusions.

Have a seat.

You're under no obligation

to say anything Major.

Ex Major.

Upon leaving yesterday,

did you attempt to contact Major Turner?

Did you confront her attorney

Col. Moorcroft at Fort Dyer at 1100?

You told me not to say anything.

I said you didn't have to say anything.

Yes.

Yes, you confronted him?

Yes I understand, I don't

have to say anything.

For the record, you did

confront Colonel Moorcroft yesterday.

Can you state your whereabouts last

night between 0130 and 0500?

Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes I understand, I don't

have to say anything.

Note for the record the Major has an injury to

his hand not present during yesterday's meeting.

We're done here.

At approximately 0230 this morning Colonel

Archibald Moorcroft was beaten to death.

You're my attorney?

Lt. Sullivan.

- How do you do? - You are hereby charged

with the murder of a Judge Advocate General.

- Where was he killed?

- In his apartment.

- Off base?

- Yes.

This is a civilian matter.

As a private citizen the army has no

jurisdiction, turn me over to DC police.

You're familiar with article 10.75

of the military code?

An officer with your security clearance remains

subject to recall in event of emergency.

You agreed to it when you

signed your discharge.

Welcome back to the Army, Major.

You're under arrest.

[FORT DYER - MAXIMUM DETENTION FACILITY -

Washington, DC]

Open BA211.

[UNLOCK/OPEN]

Stand here, don't move.

Pass for prisoner transfer.

I'll file for disclosure.

They'll turn over whatever evidence

they have on you.

There won't be any evidence.

What are you talking about?

They killed their investigators,

they killed their lawyer.

- Evidence suggests you killed Major

Turner's lawyer. - They're gonna kill her.

And they're gonna kill me,

for all I know, you're part of it.

Listen d*ckhead, you're the one

accused of a murder.

Want to show me one shred of evidence?

I'll defend you to kingdom come,

otherwise go to hell.

I apologize, I have low blood sugar.

Excuse me?

I didn't eat this morning.

I feel light headed.

Can you get me something from the

officers mess? Sandwich maybe?

Open the door please. 22:42000

44000 We're done here.

Move.

Open BA201.

Ma'am, these men are here to transfer you.

Who are they?

I asked you a question, who are they?

Are you gonna answer me?

Reacher? What is this?

Hold! Stand down!

- These men are here to kill you.

- What?

They killed Moorcroft.

- Wait, what?

- Last night, in his apartment.

And now they're gonna kill you.

Soldier, you know who I am?

I need you to stand down.

- You've been relieved of command ma'am.

- There's no time.

I want to know who told you...

That soldier was under my command.

We don't have time for this.

Get his bags and his papers.

I left explicit orders

for you to stay away.

- Orders? You ordered me?

- Yes, I knew you'd do something like this.

Don't make me regret it.

Espin? What did you do to him?

He'll be fine.

- This is insane.

- Does this mean dinner's off?

- Act angry.

- I am angry.

- Prisoner transfer.

- Lieutenant Sullivan coming in.

Open BA211.

- Hey wait a second.

- Move!

His keys, give me his keys.

- What kind of car would my lawyer be driving?

- A black sedan.

Damn ..

- Hurry up now, let's go!

- Survey the perimeter.

- Secure the service lot.

- Move! Move! Move quick! - Let's go!

Food truck.

- Move! - Move in!

Clear!

They're in the food truck! Stop that truck!

Go! .. Go! Go!

- Go! Go! - Move!

- Out of the truck! - Hands up now!

- Get them out of that truck.

Open!

Clear!

So now I'm a fugitive from justice.

And a traitor to your

country, don't forget that.

Why do I feel like you're enjoying this?

You have a very interesting way

of saying thank you.

Were those men really gonna kill me?

Thank you.

Nice job.

Oh, his ass is mine. - XO, one of our

vehicles has been hijacked, L67.

All units suspects

travelling MP vehicle L67.

Primary is Jack Reacher, white male

who is considered armed and dangerous.

Secondary is Major Susan Turner, female

wearing military fatigues, white, age 34.

- Really? - Shut up.

We need to ditch this car

and get into my email.

Alright people, lets go, lets go.

Where the hell are they?

Specialist, have the

state troopers called back yet?

- On it sir. - Alright has anybody heard

from the Capitol police?

Anybody? Anything .. a location, something?

Is there still an internet

cafe around here?

- Pennsylvania and North Street.

- Take us there please.

Should have gone to Afghanistan myself.

Merkovich and Cibelli

were my responsibility.

The job is about giving orders.

Did you ever lose anyone

on your watch Reacher?

My men weren't killed by the Taliban.

They were shot in the back of the head,

with slugs from an army issued 9mm.

By one of our own.

I'm gonna find out who did it.

What are your guy's doing over there?

What are they looking for?

Weapons.

Dozens of weapons decommissioned

during the draw down.

Whole plane loads gone missing.

Hey, I like your hat.

- You Nat's fan.

- Yeah, from the beginning.

They arrested me the day after

my investigators were killed.

The time difference, they might have

filed another report.

They locked me up so I wouldn't see it.
