EXT./INT. COUNTY ROAD/BUS - NIGHT
23
The bus rumbles through the rural south: peanut farms, shanties. Reacher stares out the window, into the dark - calmly waiting to go to jail for a murder he had nothing to do with.
24
EXT. WARBURTON COUNTY JAIL - NIGHT 24 Bus arrives. TANNER SPIVEY (guard/wiry/greasy, 30s) waits (lit by moonlight and floodlight) at a large FENCE ON ROLLERS. Bus door opens. Hubble exits, then Reacher, who has to duck to exit. Spivey looks Reacher up from ankles to eyebrows. SPIVEY ... Jesus ... My name’s Officer Spivey. You can call me Boss. Now follow the yellow brick road, inmates. Hubble/Reacher follow Spivey along a painted YELLOW LINE to the Fence. BUZZ . The Fence/Door slides open; the 3 men enter.
25
INT. WARBURTON COUNTY JAIL - PROCESSING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER Spivey enters, points to the line that continues in the room. SPIVEY Up over there, toe the line. The two men follow instructions, put their toes on the line, as Spivey gets a set of keys from a drawer. As he does... SPIVEY (CONT'D) I call you inmates instead of
25
convicts ‘cause y’all haven’t been convicted of nothin’; haven’t even got to see no judge yet, so y’aint gonna be treated like prisoners... (as he uncuffs the men) Y’all be housed on the top floor - far ‘way from the animal factory - ‘til they can line up a weekend arraignment for ya...
He searches cubbies, picks an ORANGE JUMPER, tosses it to Hubble. Hubble undresses while Spivey looks some more. SPIVEY (CONT'D) Ain’t nothing gonna fit you, big
boy. But a Samoan fella came through here last year - meth dealer - had this made special-- (finds jumps, tosses it over)
