[FOSTER] No one knows the three of you are here.

We are treating you like enemy combatants on U.S. soil.

We can do whatever we want.

Where is the drive that Anna Merrick gave to you on the train?

[GRUNTING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

- Get in! - [REACHER] Who are you?

Russell Plum, freelance journalist.

- [TAMARA] What is all this? - [RUSSELL] My research.

I've been investigating the CIA for years.

In the '90s, my mother met a U.S. soldier named John.

Congressman John Sampson.

They had an affair, and you're basically

walking with the result of that union.

My doctors say I need a bone marrow transplant,

but matches are hard to come by.

You were in country when my source was conceived.

You think I had an affair?

If my DNA's all it's gonna take to get you to leave us alone...

...here you go.

[TAMARA] Someone was looking for the drive.

- Your nephew? - Yeah, I wish he'd call me back.

Hey, who's that guy talking to Sampson?

[PAPARAZZO] That's Nolan Cahill, Sampson's chief of staff.

Remember when I said there was a fourth witness

on the train when Anna killed herself? That's him.

[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]

[♪ SQUEEZE PLAYING "TEMPTED"]

[RUSSELL] You're back.

Van's downstairs.

- Here. - What's this?

A cat.

We need all the information you can get on Nolan Cahill.

He's John Sampson's chief of staff.

Why? What's going on?

My sister, uh...

...Anna, she, um...

The one you were talking about in the van?

Works for the Pentagon, had some kind of jump drive?

She shot herself in the head in front of me

two nights ago on the Broad Street Line.

Yes.

Lila. Sampson's being straight about not being her father.

Jumped at the chance to provide DNA.

I want to know why she lied to me and what she really knows.

Okay, found a lot.

Cahill served on the same Delta Team as Sampson.

He was Sampson's commanding officer. Huh.

He's got more medals than the Olympics.

- Man like that knows a lot. - [JACOB] Great.

Now what are we doing here? Let's go and confront him.

- He won't talk. - Then we make him talk.

We can't pull a congressman's chief of

staff off the street and rough him up.

Jacob, we're not fighting you. It's just...

- [ALARM SOUNDING] - Someone's outside.

[ALARM STOPS]

[DRAMATIC, EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

[REACHER] It's the CIA backup squad from the black site.

- How'd they find us? - Oh, shit.

[REACHER] What'd you do?

After you guys ditched me, I may have posted something on 4Chan

saying I found a thumb drive on the Philly subway.

It had Anna Merrick's name on the side and military records on it.

I asked if anyone had any intel, maybe they should just reach out.

What the fuck?

You guys wouldn't tell me anything, and you stole my van.

All right? This story could give me my career back.

I figured I could flush out someone who might know something.

I used a VPN, I used an encryption so they couldn't trace it.

Looks like someone could.

[REACHER] Maybe two someones.

[RUSSELL] Yeah, looks like we got another car full of thugs.

[REACHER] That one with the bruise was at Lila's hotel yesterday.

Who the hell are these guys?

Doesn't matter if they're private contractors,

federal boys or the '75 Cincinnati Reds.

If they're here, it's not good.

Think the Big Red Machine's working with the CIA as ghost ops?

Maybe.

I don't think they're working together.

They're coming in.

[POWERING DOWN]

Oh, shit. They cut the power.

They'll use a standard protocol search,

work their way up floor by floor until they find us.

[RUSSELL] There's only one set of stairs.

- We'll run straight into 'em. - [JACOB] Is there any way off the roof?

- Or a fire escape? - No.

- Where are your knives? - I don't have any knives. I eat take-out.

- You got any weapons? - I have five cans of wasp spray.

- Why? - I have wasps.

Get 'em. Jacob, grab the fire extinguisher.

Reacher, thank you again for warning us.

It's the last thing I'll do for you if you don't tell me the truth.

You lied about Sampson.

I don't believe he's your father, and neither do you.

Being honest is the least you can do,

considering I confronted a U.S. congressman with your bullshit.

You're right.

I wasn't entirely truthful.

I'm a journalist.

Amisha is not my mother, and these two are hired protection.

Protecting you from what?

I'm here to expose the secrets of the

most powerful government on earth.

And the cancer?

Made the bruises myself so I could get to Sampson.

So you could lie to him, too?

Look, I'm truly sorry, okay?

But you could've had information we needed.

And I was scared.

A woman died. Men came after me.

Tell me the real story.

Fries are communal.

Go on.

Amisha and Sampson didn't have an affair,

but they are connected in another way.

When Amisha and her husband were still students in Indonesia,

they were concerned with the growing influence of the military

under a man named General Putra.

So, they had rallies.

And soon after that, the whole entire group was illegally incarcerated.

Putra committed atrocities.

Amisha listened as her husband was brutally beaten

and killed in a cell next to hers.

And then she was beaten within an inch of her own life.

Putra and his soldiers were trained

by an American Delta Force specialist.

John Sampson.

Yeah, and that's why he was in Indonesia in the first place.

To teach Putra's soldiers advanced military tactics.

The very tactics that were used against

the civilians Putra tortured and killed.

What about Nolan Cahill?

He was... he was Sampson's commanding officer in Indonesia. Why?

He was on the train the night Anna died.

♪ ♪

He must've been there to stop Anna from delivering the drive to me,

getting the story to me.

America wants to scrub its involvement

clean, but the public deserves to know.

After sitting with Amisha,

listening to her story, looking in her eyes, at her face,

seeing what Putra did to her, Anna Merrick agreed to help.

And that's why she was bringing me that drive,

'cause she appreciated what's at stake.

Bet she appreciated stealing government records is a federal crime.

Anna chose to work for the Pentagon 'cause she's a patriot.

And she, like I,

believed a man like Sampson, a man with his morals,

cannot take the White House.

I have to get this story out.

Please.

I need your help.

If it's not for me, for Amisha, her husband and all the people killed.

For Anna.

That drive has the proof connecting Sampson to all of this.

I'll find the drive.

When I see what's on it,

I'll decide what to do with it.

That's all I can ask. Thank you.

[DRAMATIC, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Don't thank me yet.

Looks like the Big Red Machine found us.

- How? - You were followed.

Might want to hire some new security.

What are you gonna do?

to still have this stuff in the back.

After what you told me, there's more we need to discuss.

Just come back safe, okay?

I don't want anyone else I dragged into this getting hurt.

[ENTRY BELL CHIMES]

[SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

What the hell was Anna doing here?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

♪ ♪

[INDISTINCT CROWD CHATTER]

[REACHER] Springfield.

Here we go.

Reacher. Congressman Sampson was wondering when he'd see you again.

Follow me.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

- You coming? - Last time

you said I was going to meet Sampson,

I wound up talking to federal flunkies.

How do I know you're not gonna screw me again?

Get on the elevator and find out.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Oh. Unless you want to be bouncing off the walls, stop at half.

Half it is.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in, Springfield.

Shouldn't leave the door open.

You called me from the elevator 20 seconds ago.

Reacher. [CLEARS THROAT]

Good to see you again.

Would you like breakfast?

I never turn down a meal.

Then sit.

There's a poached egg and a cup of fruit.

I haven't touched it.

[REACHER] Thank you.

I can only assume that you came down here

because you feel there's information you want,

or you have information to share.

Which one is it?

Both.

[SAMPSON] Then go ahead.

I already told you. We have no secrets between us.

All right.

I want to know about your involvement with General Putra.

He tortured and slaughtered a number

of political dissidents in Indonesia.

Mm-hmm. And?

And my source tells me that he was trained by Delta Force, led by you.

And by the way you're squirming,

I'd say you know the general's name, and you were involved

- in his atrocities. - John...

You're awfully calm for a man being accused

of what could be war crimes.

[JOHN] Your source only got part of the story right.

Yes, I was in Indonesia with Delta Force in 1998,

and I met Putra.

I didn't much like him.

Our mission was top secret, and it remains so.

But what I can disclose is that

I have never tortured or killed civilians.

And I've never assisted in torturing or killing civilians.

If you're trying to get a rise out of me, it won't work.

Simply because I'm telling the truth.

Why didn't you tell me all this the first time we met?

Do you typically offer up details of

your top secret military operations

- when a stranger asks? - Point taken.

Is there anything you can tell me that you're not?

Nothing.

What about your chief of staff?

- Cahill? - What about him?

The night Anna Merrick killed herself,

there were four witnesses on the train,

but only three were interviewed by police.

One ran away. It was Cahill.

[SCOFFS]

Excuse my language, but that's bullshit.

- I saw him. - Cahill wasn't on that train.

- He would've told me. - [REACHER] Would he?

Seems people have a habit of leaving out important details

from the discussion around here.

- Not Nolan Cahill. - [REACHER] Really?

Where is he? We could go ask him together.

Fine.

Let's go.

[BIRDS SINGING]

[SAMPSON] Nolan.

We need to speak.

[EXHALES]

Things never stay hidden, do they?

What does that mean?

Watergate, Iran-Contra, Hunter's fucking laptop.

Whatever people try to hide, it always comes out.

Why were you on the subway with Anna Merrick the night she died?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Did you take her jump drive?

You would've made a good president.

I'm sorry, John.

[SAMPSON] Nolan.

- Nolan. Nolan! - No!

[CAR ALARM RINGING]

Oh, my God.

This is Springfield. I need a perimeter and paramedic.
