INT. BARBER SHOP - MOMENTS LATER
42
MOSLEY (the barber, 85 but somehow older) makes himself a TOMATO AND MAYO SANDWICH. A BELL RINGS signaling Reacher’s entrance. Mosley doesn’t look up from his sandwich-making. MOSLEY If you want a trim, gotta wait. It’s Mosley’s meal time. REACHER I was thinking a shave, Mr. Mosley. MOSLEY I can eat and shave. Reacher climbs into the chair, looks at the NEWSPAPER that was on the seat as Mosley puts the cape on him. REACHER Heard Mississippi Fred McDowell
coming from your shop. Thought maybe a blues fan would know a bit about Blind Blake’s time in Margrave. MOSLEY Surprised a White man your age

knows Fred McDowell; more surprised you know Blind Blake, Mr. Reacher. Reacher gives Mosley a look - you know my name. REACHER Small town. As Mosley sharpens up the RAZOR on the STROP... MOSLEY Big man . When a giant stranger gets arrested for murder, word gets
‘round. But Ms. Roscoe cleared ya, so I ain’t scared of you none. My age, ain’t scared of nothin’ much. REACHER Me neither. And everyone just calls me Reacher. Even my mother did... MOSLEY Alexa, play Blind Blake for Reacher.
Alexa: Shuffling Music by Blind Blake. Bad Feelin’ Blues plays as Mosley presses the button on a box that dispenses warm shaving cream into a bowl. MOSLEY (CONT'D) What’s in the news?
