Teresa is alive because a Russian gangster can't get a slave on his own? Meanwhile Neagley, Reacher and Duffy are acting like sociopathic killers

I disagree. Unlike sociopathic killers, they are only killing in self defense, or people who tried to kill them and could try again, or because of evil motives could cause harm again and jeopardize their justifiable, good mission and ruin their lives.

Did anyone recognize the pistol Neagley was using?

Best screen-grab I could get. It is a pretty generic looking firearm. Not a compact. But she was out after only nine rounds. That would strike me as an unusual choice of firearm for someone in her line of work.

I am assuming it was chambered for 9x19mm, many of which carry 15-20 rounds or more. But even a big-bore pistol, chambered in .45 ACP or 10 mm Auto could have a capacity of 13+ rounds.

Reacher is carrying what is almost certainly an H&K P7 with a capacity of only 8+1 rounds. But that is because Beck gave him the weapon, which had previously belonged to Angel. Godnozewot happened to the huge wheel-gun he started off with.

Corporate security head in her top floor office? Besides the on duty building security guards I was surprised that a firearm was at her desk at all. Or even an armory being in the corporate headquarters, it's not the DMZ

Neaghly likely uses a 15 shot clip... but she fired 6 rounds at some other perp last week and never bothered to swap in a fresh clip.

"Perp", she's not a cop anymore. I would say even if the Feds ignored the street justice of the 110th in the corporate world concealment is the most important design criteria in her current job. 

Since they no longer use blanks in most productions, we don't get that locked slide after the few rounds a cop will fire on a show. And only actors performing Gun Fu would eject and keep a partially spent magazine

i'm a bit surprised that Reacher hasn't returned to Beck's place to see if Quinn is there.  he has to believe that Quinn is really pissed at Beck for another mole in his household and is quite willing to take it out on Richard.

i'm afraid the soldiers won't make it in time to save their brother.  Neaghly was lucky the guys that went after her were bad shots.

I'm sorry, I guess I am a pretty horrible person but I am sick to death of the constant "Teresa" "Teresa" we have to save Teresa.  Yeah, I get she's a person and an informant and I would not like her to harmed, but Duffy should really be focused on the big picture.  


Speaking of Duffy - that intermittent NY (or whatever) accent isn't doing her any favors if it's supposed to an indicate her toughness.

I'm glad there was quite a bit of Alan Richson fan service in this episode, from his actions (my primary reason for watching) to his physical presence.  Ahem . . . .

Heh, poor Reacher having to be all "You were the one that kissed me, why am I the one at fault here?!" with Duffy in this episode.  Duffy is making Roscoe's crush (and later relationship) from S1 seem more tame.  From what I remember, Roscoe kept her cool for the most part, while still admiring Reacher: body, mind, and more!

Figured it was only a matter of time before Reacher's cover got blown.  Still surprised it didn't end with him diving into the body-dropping coven in the ocean, and swimming away.  Still think that will come into play later on.  Instead, we got some good old-fashioned stealth killing!  And it all ending with Reacher hiding in a laundry mat, sipping coffee that hopefully did not come from a cat's asshole this time!

Richard now knows the truth and seems to be keeping it hidden for now: even after being forced to play Russian Roulette by Quinn.  Suspect either he or Beck himself will end up playing a role in Quinn's downfall.

Neagley really did get lucky that those hitman couldn't shoot for shit.  By all accounts, they should have at least winged her when she was running down the hallway.

I remember the actor playing the tailor as Simon from Orphan Black, so it was fun watching him make the most of his screen time.

Reacher thinks the answers to finding Teresa involve Los Angeles?  Not sure how that is going to factor in.

It hurts the show that only a bent Fed, not the audience, knew her and talks about her. So as an audience we were with Reacher thinking that she was already dead, even if Duffy won't give up so gives the big guy some help on his mission. Even now with talk of her being held for as a gift for a Russian and not even as a comfort woman for the bad guys as a living person we are now sure the big guy will save her from that and as of now she has it no worse than the bodyguard did.

Duffy's behaviour is deplorable. Just because you find someone attractive you can't just grab them by the ears and give them an unexpected tonsillectomy in an alley! Imagine the reaction if Reacher was the one treating her that way!

In contrast I think Roscoe was much more collected and her behaviour was professional. I think Roscoe is the best "girlfriend" Reacher has had so far.

Quinn made him pull the trigger. Three times. On a five-shot revolver. Meaning one of the next two pulls would find the cartridge and fire it. I'd have pulled twice as fast as I could on Paulie, then hit Quinn in the face with the now-empty lump of stainless steel and gone for Paulie's pistol.

I would like to think that as a father I would have the courage to give my son the take the chance signal because we are dead anyway. Its good no of us actual need to face that situation.

The winch on the ATV wasn't even rotating.  Bad edit/effects.

I noticed that as well. 😂

This scene was hilarious!

Especially when Reacher said "I didn't know it was gonna happen once." 😂
