Yay, we got to my favorite Reacher trope: when a group of assholes try to act tough, Reacher practically begs them to just walk away, they naturally don't, and he disposes of them with ease.  Richard's high school bullies will rue the day that they didn't listen to his words of wisdom!

So, it turns out that Beck is working for this Gabe character (who might actually be Quinn?), and is mainly doing his bidding.  Gabe was even the one responsible for Richard's initial kidnapping and loss of ear (and Paulie was the one who cut it off.  Yikes!)  It does sound like Beck was already doing some duplicitous things beforehand with customs and whatnot, but it really was just for his rug business, and it was Gabe who made him get involved with whatever else is going on.  Still don't see a happy ending for Beck, but I wonder if this will lead to him at least doing the right thing at the end or having a "noble sacrifice" of some kind.

Reacher seems to be getting set up with two potential love interests, with Duffy eyeing him shirtless (and more) and clearly enjoying what she saw, and this French maid that seems to be developing a bond with him.

The DA's prisoner is clearly going to end up trying something and Eliot/younger agent will suffer for it.

Reacher already getting himself likely promoted by killing Duke and making it look like a shootout gone wrong.  I bet Paulie is going to love that!

Just another example of Toxic Femininity.

With Paulie around to Beck Reacher is just another NFL linebacker sized guy running around. Having run across the late NFL Hall of Famer Kevin Greene in a pick up football game at Fort Knox, shorter crews work better in tanks, that is still an intimidating thing. Meanwhile we get to gaze along with Duffy.
