Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 17.
Morrison eyeballs Reacher from his desk. Roscoe pours coffee at a coffee station. Reacher watches her. She’s interesting. Reacher catches her eye. He points to the coffee station, makes a gesture that says “How ‘bout it?”. She considers, then pours a second cup, then heads over with a mug. REACHER Thanks. ROSCOE Could probably use a pick me up, been in there a while now. REACHER Not my fault. Trouble just kinda seems to find me. She hands him the coffee through the bars. As he takes it-- REACHER (CONT'D) What I could really use is getting these ties off. ROSCOE Chief Morrison says they stay on. As Reacher sips the coffee... ROSCOE (CONT'D) Assumed you liked it black. REACHER How do you figure? ROSCOE Seem like a no nonsense guy. Cream and sugar are nonsense. REACHER (takes another sip) So you know I’m innocent. ROSCOE (throws his line back at him) How do you figure? REACHER Doubt it’s procedure to bring coffee to the guilty. ROSCOE Well, if you are guilty of
something, can’t be much ‘cause a preliminary run on your prints turned up nothing. Bad guys set off bells and whistles right away...
