Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 11.
FINLAY (CONT'D)
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 so he doesn’t get caught? REACHER You’d be right. Finlay is a bit taken-aback by Reacher’s honesty. Beat, then: REACHER (CONT'D) But not this murder. Three men dropped this body. Finlay is amused by Reacher’s straight forward confidence. FINLAY Really? Enlighten me. REACHER Shooter was someone who knows
firearms well. Bullets were small caliber, 9MM - 95 grain, that’s subsonic - silencer was used. Also knew enough to pick up his brass. This wasn’t a first-timer. It was someone who knew how to conduct a quiet, effective kill. FINLAY Ok. Go on. REACHER
You’re also looking for a psycho who’d beat up a body post-mortem. Someone completely unhinged. Totally different profile from your professional shooter. Finlay takes this in, stares at Reacher who has a point. Reacher looks down at his zip tied hands resting on the * table, calculating something we don’t know yet, then he looks * up to Finlay... * REACHER (CONT'D) Something wrong? FINLAY (plays it off) No... you said there were three. REACHER *
The psycho isn’t suddenly going to be rational enough to know he has to hide the body.
