Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 62.
ROSCOE But I know people... and you’ve got kind eyes.
She’s locked eyes with him - once again she said the exact right thing. He gives away nothing, but she’s softened him. ROSCOE (CONT'D) Do what I say, Reacher. Please. A request from someone he likes and respects. So he gets in the car. Roscoe moves to Finlay. ROSCOE (CONT'D)
Look, I get this whole thing is fucked six different ways, but you coulda handled that better. ‘Sides, my instincts are tellin’ me Reacher isn’t our guy on these homicides. FINLAY Your instincts? Think maybe your “instincts” are affected by a square chin and broad shoulders-- ROSCOE
FINLAY (CONT'D) --No you hold on. My town’s got two bodies--
--hold on a second--
ROSCOE (CONT'D) Your town? My family’s been in
Margrave over 200 years ; you’ve been here one. And I’m the only person that’s given your snooty, Northerner ass the time of day. And if you ever insinuate again that I’m anything but professional, you’re gonna find yourself with no friends in Margrave. Face off. Neither backs down. Then a more vulnerable Finlay. FINLAY I apologize. I was out of line... He moves off to the car. OFF Roscoe, taking him in.

INT. FINLAY'S CAR - MOMENTS LATER
50
Finlay drives. Roscoe shotgun. Reacher in back. Tense. Just the sound of the car. Reacher stares out the window, absorbing the loss of his brother. Roscoe looks at him via the sideview, then shares a concerned look with Finlay. ROSCOE You ok, Reacher?
