SPIVEY (CONT'D) Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 33. It’ll fit the shoulders but arms’ll be too short for sure. Spivey grabs a COKE CAN from the desk, spits chaw juice in it, grabs a CLIPBOARD. Looks to Hubble who’s about to step into his jumper. SPIVEY (CONT'D) Not so fast, son. Drop them drawers, bend over and spread. HUBBLE (aghast) What about not being treated like prisoners? SPIVEY
Guilty, Innocent or In-between - I gotta make sure you ain’t smugglin’. HUBBLE I assure you, I’m not. SPIVEY I assure you , one way or the other, your stink-hole is openin’ up. Now you can do it, or I can get the boys from Gen Pop to help ya out.
Hubble has no choice. He drops his boxers. Spreads ‘em. Spivey bends over, cursory look. Stands. Looks to Reacher. SPIVEY (CONT'D) Your turn. REACHER No. SPIVEY You just heard me say you gotta. REACHER (matter of fact) No I don’t. Blanket strip search policies are unconstitutional
unless there’s clear articulable suspicion of criminal activity. The victim I’m suspected of murdering was shot by a handgun that would measure 4 inches by 6. That weapon’s not fitting inside me or any other human being without sending them to a hospital. And since that’s the only contraband related to this crime, your request is unlawful.
