Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 60.
OFF Reacher, stunned as we HARD CUT TO:
47
INT. MORGUE - HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER
47
Reacher walks down the hall, Roscoe/Finlay a step behind - all 3 determined and concerned. Jasper brings up the rear.
48
INT. MORGUE - MORTUARY - CONTINUOUS
* 48
All 4 enter. Jasper pulls a cadaver drawer open, looks to Reacher who nods. Jasper pulls back the sheet. We don’t see what Reacher sees. He remains stoic, but deep in his eyes, where the soul resonates, we know he’s affected. Then: REACHER We were wrestling in the kitchen. I pinned him against the stove; didn’t know my mother’d just turned it off.
(turns over the dead man’s hand to show oblong scar) That’s how Joe got this scar. (looks up to Roscoe) This is my brother.
49
EXT. COUNTY BUILDING - EARLY EVENING - MOMENTS LATER
49
Reacher steps outside, in a bit of a daze. Half a beat later a lit-up Finlay storms out after him, Roscoe on his heels. FINLAY
You tell me right now what’s going on! What was your brother doing in Margrave?! REACHER (stoic, quiet) I don’t know. FINLAY So it’s just a coincidence you and he are passing through the exact same podunk town at the exact same moment in time?! REACHER I don’t know. FINLAY When was the last time you saw Joe?! REACHER A minute ago in the morgue.
