Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 40.
HUBBLE I wish that were all. My bosses promised if I disrupted their operation in any way, they’d... (he swallows, talks quietly) They’d nail me to a wall, literally . In front of my family. They’d cut my balls off, make me eat ‘em . Then they’d bleed me and Charlie out slow so we’d die knowing our kids were left with those psychos, not knowing what would be done to them.
Reacher takes this in. But he’s noticing a group of THUGS on the other side of the yard. 5 of them. They are eyeballing Reacher and Hubble, talking about them. It’s obvious. * Reacher doesn’t so much as sweat. REACHER That’s why you confessed to a crime you didn’t commit. HUBBLE
I’m hoping the fact that I was willing to keep my mouth shut and go to jail counts for something. But I’ve already told you too much. REACHER
Then keep quiet ‘cause that means I’ve already heard too much. Don’t need your problems becoming mine. (he stands) I’m gonna hit the head. Reacher starts walking. As Hubble hurries after...
*
HUBBLE Think I’ll go with you. REACHER Figured as much.

Reacher/Hubble enter. Reacher grabs a CLOTH from a BIN marked CLEAN. He wets it at the SINK, puts it on the back of his neck. He looks up - in the mirror reflection, 5 BIG WHITE * GANGBANGERS behind him. Their leader is REDD (big, scary). * Redd takes in both Reacher & Hubble. Then points to Reacher. * REDD * Him. *
