Reacher Pilot 6th Pre-Production Studio Draft 1/12/2021 7.
MORRISON Don’t wanna talk? Maybe we put ya in the holding cell, get you to
* *
change your mind...
FINLAY (O.S.) And how exactly would you do that? They turn to find CHIEF DETECTIVE FINLAY (41, Black, a Northerner, Harvard educated, 1/2 Reacher’s size, glasses, * erudite, uptight, doesn’t curse, and always wears a tweed suit with a moleskin vest.) FINLAY (CONT'D) (rhetorical, adjusts his cuffs) Explain to him his constitutional rights under the 5th and 14th amendments, then hope he waives them of his own free will? It’s clear Finlay doesn’t stand for going outside the law . A beat, then Morrison answers, a bit confused... MORRISON Yes? Morrison, and the other cops, don’t like Finlay. FINLAY No need. I’ve got it from here. (turns to Baker) Take him to the conference room. I’ll be in in a moment. Finlay heads toward his office. Baker prods Reacher. BAKER Move it, Bigfoot... Finlay stops, turns, looks to Baker. Finlay is firm/direct. FINLAY Officer Baker. I assume that’s not this gentleman’s name. Professionalism and Courtesy are not suggestions. BAKER (beat, hates Finlay ) Yessir. FINLAY Stevenson, take him in. Finlay walks into his private office, closes the door.
