Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 61.
FINLAY You being smart with me?! REACHER I’m being straight with you. Hell, no wonder Sharon left you.
Beat. Then Finlay charges Reacher. FINLAY
You keep my wife’s name outta your mouth! Roscoe gets between them before punches are thrown. ROSCOE No! Enough! Reacher, you crossed a line! Finlay, let it rest ! (turns, sotto to Finlay) The man just lost his brother. They separate. Testosterone down to “slow boil”. Finlay rubs his hand over his mouth, calmly/firmly points at Reacher. FINLAY
One question. And I want the truth. What’re you doing here in Margrave? REACHER (fuck you) Blind. Blake. ROSCOE (wrong answer) Shit. FINLAY You’re messin’ with the wrong man; I’ll tell you that right now ! I swear, I’m gonna find any reason I can to lock you up again... REACHER (small step to Finlay) You won’t even get the cuffs on me-- ROSCOE This isn’t gonna happen. (ushers Reacher to the car) Sit in the back. I know you’re not the kind of guy to beat on someone half your size without good reason. REACHER He’s giving me a reason... and you don’t know me that well...
