INT. WARBURTON COUNTY JAIL - CONCRETE & METAL ROOM - CONTINUOUS Guard #1 ushers Reacher/Hubble in, all outta breath. This isn’t a cell. It’s bigger: sink, TV, radio panel embedded in the wall, toilet with curtain, separate beds. More civilized. GUARD #1

Finlay at his desk, going through files. He rubs his eyes, stressed. He takes off his wedding ring, SPINS it. He watches it spin, contemplative. He looks to his phone, hesitates, then picks it up and dials. He waits. His wife’s voicemail.
