Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 4.
Reacher slides out from behind the booth, nice and slow. BAKER (CONT'D) Hands behind your head! Interlock your fingers! Reacher does what he’s told, slow and deliberate. Doesn’t drop a single bead of sweat. Cooler than Eskimo balls. Baker steps closer. Stevenson remains still, gun aimed. Baker no longer shouts. He speaks firmly, adrenaline still pumping. BAKER (CONT'D) Dessert’s gonna have to wait... ‘cause you’re under arrest for murder. ON: Reacher’s face. He takes in this information, unblinking. HARD CUT TO: TITLE CARD: REACHER .

EXT. STATION HOUSE - DAY - LATER

HIGH/WIDE OVERHEAD - The two cop cars from the diner arrive, stop. Doors open, Reacher is led out and toward the door.

INT. STATION HOUSE - BULLPEN - CONTINUOUS 5 Neat. Clean. For a small town station house, things are very high end: Each desk has a 27” MAC 5K DESKTOP COMPUTER MONITOR. A HIGH DEF SCREEN on the wall shows a DIGITAL MAP of the town. Every street. Every traffic light. Quite advanced. HOLDING CELL in the corner. CONFERENCE ROOM to the side. PRIVATE OFFICES off the bullpen. POLICE CHIEF MORRISON (50’s, husky, nasty) paces, checks his watch. He, like everyone in Margrave, has a Southern accent. But his ain’t sweet as molasses. It’s intimidating as hell. ROSCOE (28, smart, resilient, proud) does paperwork. They’re * the only 2 cops there. She peeks out the window... * ROSCOE They’re here-- (whistles) He’s a big one. As Roscoe calmly steps to the PROCESSING DESK, methodically * lays out an INTAKE FORM, HAND WIPES, a STATE OF THE ART * DIGITAL FINGERPRINT SCANNER, Reacher’s led inside by BAKER * and STEVENSON, who holds the door open as Baker gives Reacher a small shove.
