Jack Reacher Page #7

Synopsis: In an innocent heartland city, five are shot dead by an expert sniper. The police quickly identify and arrest the culprit, and build a slam-dunk case. But instead of confessing, the accused man writes the words, "Get Jack Reacher." Reacher himself sees the news report and turns up in the city. The defense is immensely relieved, but Reacher has come to bury the guy. Shocked at the accused's request, Reacher sets out to confirm for himself the absolute certainty of the man's guilt, but comes up with more than he bargained for.

Oh.. I can do one better

I went down to the gun range at Hinge Creek

Got your picture, prints,

I am going to the Feds

Lawyer is all yours

Get the Zack

as second thought I would like to kill you

What say winner takes all?

Listen to me you prick..

I will kill this b*tch if

you are not here in one..

Sh*t

You think I'm a hero? I'm not a hero

I am drifter with nothing to lose

if you kill that girl to put

me in a frame, I mean to

beat you to death and drink

your blood from a boot

Now this how it's gonna work.. you

are gonna give me the address

and I will be along when I

am damn good and ready,

if she doesn't answer the

phone when I call this number

if I even think you hurt her, I disappear

and if you are smart that scares you

because I am in your blind spot

and I have nothing better to do

You gotta pen?

Don't need one.

Army called the core for help

you have something for me?

You are kidding right? Just because I saw

you shoot ten years ago doesn't mean

that I will let you kill

some a**holes with my gun

I told you how serious this was..

and I showed up didn't I ?

So let's get to it..

Now your shooter would be right

up there behind those lights

he can cover both rows coming and going

and kill you just as soon as you stand up

Can you take him out?

What? Dinner you mean?

Look I don't know what type of people

you normally associate with Reacher,

but I am not in the habit of driving out

og the boonies at the drop of a hat

and just picking on some

total strangers, allright?

Anyway can't see anything,

not with them lights up

So shoot them out.

Yeah sure

and he will know right where I am,

might as well set myself on fire.

I will start shooting when he does

and how do you propose we get him started?

Well you could always start running

What's wrong with your eye?

Saving my night vision

are you gonna mind if I ask you

kind of a personal question?

Oh you don't think I can shoot anymore?

It's a perishable skill

Well... Sun will be up in an hour

I heard them call you 'The Zack'

that prisoner? yes?

Tell me, killing all those

people I have to believe

the money you making

can't possibly be enough

enough...! there's no such thing.

We take what can be taken

This is what we do

And you?

This is what I think I

understand about you?

Why would you do it?

You make it sound like I had a choice

Oh .. didn't you?

You'll see..

You should know I have taken

steps, if anything happens..

If anything happens to

you it will happen in

front of your father while

he begs for your life

You should never have involved

him, now you will have

to convince him to forget

for your sake and for his

You say nothing but I see

the fight in your eyes

That's look I have seen many many times

when the soldier comes, when you watch

how he dies, it will change you

You will want to forget meddling

Reacher

Are you okay?

They are ready for you

I would like to think so

Don't do this, please don't do this.

Not for me

Listen Helen, They are not gonna

hurt you until they have me

and that's never gonna happen, hear me?

You just hang in there

coz I am coming to get you

Now say you believe me

I believe you

This was a bad idea

anytime now

Where the hell are you, gunny

You should Go

Drop it

I know you are in there Emmerson

It was staring me right in the face

the one piece that just didn't fit

that quarter

Nobody would have thought

to dump that meter

Not even me!

You were wrong about my father

I wouldn't make a big thing of it

Who is he?

He is John Do number two

???

They call him the Zach

Zach, prisoner.

What's your real name?

I was born in October, when I get to my

birthday I am gonna pull the trigger

One, two..

Jiloviak, Zach Jiloviak

Jiloviak

Jiloviak.

Human.

"Prisoner human being"

That's your real name?

That's all I remember

Call the police

Were you really gonna shoot him?

I knew I wouldn't have to

One look at this guy and you know

he will do anything to survive

one look at me and you

know I am not bluffing

Yes, I have an emergency

Yes, I will hold

We are in no hurry

With a name like yours, you

are gonna feel right at home

prison in America,

retirement home, if I go to

prison at all.

You think you are gonna walk?

You are a homeless drifter

wanted for murder, meantwhile I,

am an old man in the wrong place

at the wrong time, thanks

to you, who lives to say otherwise?

Who?

In have an emergency

We will see which one of us goes to prison

My bet..

Neither one

What did you do?

What does it look like?

How about the truth?

What about getting the

guys who really did this?

What about bringing him to justice

I just did.

What about clearing Barr?

What about clearing you?

I have faith you will sort it out and I

hear you have an emp on the local DA

What happens to you in the meantime?

I will keep moving, same as always

Is that my car?

This the lady?

Helen Rodin... Martin Cash

Pleasure... look like

hell there army! You

asked if I was afraid I

will end up like Barr

I am not, I am afraid I

will end up like this guy.

There's lot of dead bodies out here.

Let's get to it

We should probably go..

Wait, that's it.. it's just over?

You will be allright counsellor.

No.. What if I need you?

How will I find you?

Oh you don't need me

Not anymore

Get her number, let's go

I am Helen Rodin your attorney

This conversation is protected

by attorney client privilege

You understand what that means?

Yeah

Now the police didn't

talk to you, did they?

They are not allowed to

do that without me here

How bad was it?

How many did I?

You don't remember anything

about the incident?

No

I could hear the nurses

talking to the cops out there

Don't even remember wanting to do it

Look, I am not gonna fight this

If they say I done it, then I did

I've done things before

I did something bad... real bad

Long time ago

and I got away with it

James, how well do you know this place?

Pretty well

and how do you think you

would have done it?

I guess...

I would've parked up on the highway

sun will be at my back

at that time of the day

I got a van, set up in back

wouldn't have to worry about my brass

Get away real clean too

does that sound about right

that sounds as if you know your stuff

I forgot your name

It's Helen

Helen Rodin

You are gonna be okay James

I am gonna take care of you

You can't protect me

No one can ..

From what?

From who?

There's this guy

He's a kind of cop

at least he used to be

He doesn't care about the law

he doesn't care about proof

he only cares about what's right

he knows what I did

He knows who I am

This guy, he made me a promise

If I ever got in trouble again

He'll be there.
