Jack Reacher Page #5
people at the riverbed, but he
wouldn't have. Not that way
So you are saying that he is crazy.
No
Oh, what exactly are you saying?
Any single piece of evidence, I will buy it
but all of it? fibers, finger
And who the hell pays for parking?
Saint or crazy? It just doesn't make sense.
Okay So.. Barr
he wanted to get caught, and
That would not explain how Barr,
poor condition, never missed
He did miss... he did.
Pristine bullet
Conveniently trapped by a liquid back stop.
The same bullet that tied
Barr's gun to the killings
and arguably the prosecutions single
most important piece of evidence.
If Barr wanted to get
caught, he didn't miss
By the way it doesn't make sense.
If he wanted
to get away with it,
and if he wanted to get caught, Barr
wasn't capable of such perfection
Then those guys took a route at me,
Who ever sent them made a mistake.
It was just a bar fight.
nervous and tried to run me off
or put me in a coma, right
next to their ()
Pa ??
It was such a great crime scene
Now I am starting to think
it might be too great.
Not Emmerson, not your father,
not even Barr's own defense attorney
But Barr knew I would..
No matter how much I wanted it to be true.
That's why he asked for me.
Why you mean?
Are you suggesting...
James Barr is innocent.
You can see what this is.. can't you?
You gotta case in your hands, maybe
the last case you will ever have.
And you will do anything
to get to the bottom of it
Helen
You know.. you never should have retired..
Look please.
For all I know you
were standing at the
intersection with a card
board sign three days ago
I hired you, Jesus. My father was right.
Helen
It's the way you live,
the way you move around
You are not just cut out for
the real world, are you?
Are you afraid that you will end
up like Barr? Is that this?
Look out the window.
No, I have work to do
humour me.
You need to leave
Let... let go of me
Can you tell me what you see? I see
the same things that I see every day
Imagine you have never seen it
Imagine that you've spent your
the world, being told everyday
you are defending freedom
and finally decided you have had enough
Time to see what you have
given up your whole life for.
Maybe get some of that
freedom for yourself
Look at the people. Now
tell me which one are free?
Free from debt, anxiety, issues, fear
The fear of failure, indignity, betrayal
How many wish they were born
knowing what they know now?
Ask yourself how many would do
things the same way all over again.
And how many would live their lives like me
Look at the silver Audi across the street
that one has been following me all day.
What does that prove?
Here's his tag number? How long
will you take you to run it?
At this time of night,
I don't know, an hour?
Do it. Do it and then
I will leave
When?.. No.. this is my problem now.
I'll handle it.
Yeah, you are blown. Boys are
on to the license plates.
Done.
Go to this address
Allright, let's just say
that Barr didn't do it,
or did it because someone
put him up to it.
Either way, what have you got?
Conspiracy.
Yeah Conspiracy to kill 5 random people ..
It's ridiculous, right?
No point looking any further..
Exactly.
Exactly
What is this?
The motive
Just hold on to it?
What are we playing? Clue?
Yeah, Give it to me
Thank you
You sure that car was
following you all day?
Since you picked me up, why?
It is registered to a company
called Lebendauer Enterprises
A conspiracy to kill five random people,
...Ridiculous !!
Four !!
Four random people.
To hide one specific target.
Some one needed Oline Archer's
construction business.
And Oline, wouldn't let it go..
It's a convincing theory.
But it's just a theory
The first round is the least accurate
the snipers call it a 'cold shot'
meanwhile your eyewitnesses described a
pause between the first and second rounds
the one shot where the killer took his time
and Oline Archer was the second victim
the one shot that mattered
But it's just a theory.
Whoever framed was custom made for Barr..
Whoever chose him knew about
Baghdad, and the only one
who could have told them about
Baghdad was Barr himself.
He has at least one friend,
a very close one.
If you find that friend, you
will find the real shooter.
Real Shooter...!! Reacher .. My job..
Is to present the jury
with reasonable doubt.
guys who really did this
Catching the guys who did this?
Bringing them to justice.
No I can't take this... Exposing the truth
Even if I believed Barr is
innocent, it's not my job.
I am just a lawyer, I am not a cop
I can't do this anymore
Thanks for the coffee counsellor
Sandy
Wait.. it's Sandy.. isn't it?
Do I know you?
Charlie, Jeb's friend
Oh come on... don't break my heart
I am sorry, I don't remember
Well we were both pretty wasted...
OH... yeah...
Oh you live here?
Just up there
No Sh*t.. I just moved in around the back
How crazy is that?
It's wild
Wow
You.. You look great.
Thanks
Look, I don't want to keep you so..
Maybe we can grab a drink sometime
Yeah maybe
Hey.. how about tonight?
I am meeting some people
Well, some other time then
some other time
Do it here.
What?
Reacher
There's a gun range in Ohio
with targets up to 700 yards
The only range that
matches your requirements
You should sleep
You have a long drive
tomorrow, and I need
to sleep and pull
up legal history
I won't do that, till I get back
If I am right, someone
killed four random
people so no one will
look directly to Oline
If I am right, just saying her
name could get you killed.
Are you saying I should be scared?
Are you smart?
Obviously
Then don't be scared
What exactly am I looking for?
Someone who could kill
that girl with one punch
You want the guy with 11 and nine?
Erny Johnson... you'll see..
Out of the car
I got a suspect.. move move..
Suspect is heading North on state route
Oh God! I just don't believe it.
I don't believe it
I issued the warrent
an hour ago.
According to the victim's boss, Reacher
was seen at her work place this morning
Where he threatened her Boss
The car he was driving that night
belonged to a friend of Jeb Olivers
The man he assaulted.
No those guys assaulted Reacher
Reacher put three more.
Men in the hospital this
afternoon at Jeb Oliver's place
After arriving in Jeb Olivers car
And Jeb hasn't been seen
since he left the hospital
Helen if you know where Reacher
is, you need to tell us.
I don't know where he is.
I have not seen him
since he left my office
a few hours ago.
I think she's telling the truth.
Oh you think dad!! f*** you!!
Hey I told you not to go near him.
You come into
my home and you treat me
