You're not in charge anymore, Major.

Neither are you apparently, operatives

They tried to kill me in my cell.

Here's a name for you, Parasource.

Here's a couple more names to think about.

Baghdad, Bazra, this isn't our

first rodeo is it Captain.

You think I want to be

in this position, maam?

I have a job to do, and I'm going to do it.

I'm going to take a leap of faith that

you don't have anything to do with this.

Look on the back of the phone, come

alone and make sure you're not tailed.

Kudrow to Espin.

- Kudrow to Espin. - This Espin, go.

We ID'd those boys on the plane. Paid by a

shell company out of the Cayman Islands.

contractor by the name of.. - Parasource.

Yeah. How'd you know that?

Uh uh nevermind, get me everything you can

on Parasource, and I mean everything.

Look I'm enroute to pick up a witnesses.

We'll send backup.

No stand ready 2 minutes out

and wait for my signal.

That's not procedure, sir.

No, that's called an order. Reacher knows

the game, if he smells heat he'll bolt.

Alright we'll stay 2 minutes out.

What's the address?

Nicholls Street Wharf. Espin out.

Nicholls Street Wharf.

Officer down. Nicholls Wharf.

I'm out.

- You're still wanted for murder.

- That's right, I'm a stoned killer.

So I saved you.

Did Prudhomme give you a statement?

Most of it.

Cibelli and Mirkovich were your friends.

Thats right.

Parasource ordered their murders.

They also just tried to kill you.

They've been providing

insurgents with weapons.

Well you're going to need more proof

than the word of a dead junkie.

And you're going to help us get it.

Here. Put the cuffs on and

take us into custody.

Just get us on yhe TARMAC

at Parasource in 1 hour.

I need you to jump to a

conclusion here, soldier.

Yes. thanks.

Okay, here's what we got.

6 months ago, Parasource loses government

contracts worth over a billion dollars.

They're bleeding cash, and

the banks want blood.

And now, all of a sudden they start

paying back their creditors.

How much money can they really be making

selling weapons on the black market?

An M4 is what? 5 grand, a

rocket launcher's half that.

That's nothing compared

to government contracts.

So where are they getting the money?

The receptionist, what can we help.

Hey, do you have room service?

We're sorry we did not serve with

cash, we need a credit card.

Uh, yes. Wait a minute.

Do you understand that there will be a

parade and it will take a lot of time.

Em, it's okay.

Eh, if a visa is not any?

Pak we have accurate directions

with one stolen credit card.

Major Susan Turner 110th Military Police.

The, Major Turner who's wanted

by the MP's for espionage?

Do you mean these MP's?

belonging to the United States Army.

In fact you sold them to insurgents.

And these are now empty.

Do you know who I am, Major?

Yes. General. I do.

You're the man responsible for

the deaths of two of my men.
