00:08:29,656 --> 00:08:31,032
How did you find me?
176
00:08:31,033 --> 00:08:32,450
I saw how many hard drives
you had to shred,
177
00:08:32,451 --> 00:08:34,910
so I waited outside your office
till you were done and tailed you.
178
00:08:34,911 --> 00:08:36,746
I can get you money. You want money?
179
00:08:36,747 --> 00:08:38,789
- I'll get you money.
- I want answers.
180
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:40,374
What's in that photograph
that's so important
181
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:42,794
you and everyone else
are willing to kill for it?
182
00:08:45,172 --> 00:08:47,132
Remember how I said
I was gonna make you talk?
183
00:08:48,383 --> 00:08:50,051
No, no, n-- [screams]
184
00:08:50,052 --> 00:08:51,927
Goddamn it!
185
00:08:51,928 --> 00:08:53,763
Fuck!
186
00:08:53,764 --> 00:08:56,098
No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
187
00:08:56,099 --> 00:08:58,642
I'll tell... I'll tell you anything
you want to know. Don't...
188
00:08:58,643 --> 00:09:00,227
The photograph.
189
00:09:00,228 --> 00:09:01,437
[panting]
190
00:09:01,438 --> 00:09:03,189
It contains the formula
191
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:05,608
for a chemical
weapon of mass destruction.
192
00:09:05,609 --> 00:09:07,360
There's no formula in the photograph.
193
00:09:07,361 --> 00:09:09,070
It's there. You just can't see it.
194
00:09:09,071 --> 00:09:10,404
- [bones break]
- [screams]
195
00:09:10,405 --> 00:09:12,073
- Start making sense!
- Okay, okay.
196
00:09:12,074 --> 00:09:13,824
Let me explain.
197
00:09:13,825 --> 00:09:15,035
Get to it.
198
00:09:16,161 --> 00:09:18,746
[suspenseful music playing]
199
00:09:18,747 --> 00:09:22,917
After the '95 sarin gas attacks
on the Tokyo subway,
200
00:09:22,918 --> 00:09:25,836
the U.S. figured that chemical weapons
201
00:09:25,837 --> 00:09:29,383
would be the next WMD of choice
for the world's worst terrorists...
202
00:09:30,467 --> 00:09:33,427
...so the CIA secretly contracted DARPA.
203
00:09:33,428 --> 00:09:35,262
I was working there,
204
00:09:35,263 --> 00:09:38,557
an assistant, just out of grad school.
205
00:09:38,558 --> 00:09:41,352
They assigned me to a project,
Operation Mongoose.
206
00:09:41,353 --> 00:09:44,105
We were supposed to create
chemical weapons
207
00:09:44,106 --> 00:09:46,315
and then reverse engineer them
208
00:09:46,316 --> 00:09:48,401
to find antidotes and countermeasures.
209
00:09:48,402 --> 00:09:52,530
[Springfield] Geneva Protocol and Chemical
Weapons Convention outlawed them.
210
00:09:52,531 --> 00:09:54,198
[panting]
211
00:09:54,199 --> 00:09:56,158
It was all off the books.
212
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:59,328
An Indonesian Army general named Putra
213
00:09:59,329 --> 00:10:03,457
was trying to get the U.S. Special Forces
to come and train his men for a while.
214
00:10:03,458 --> 00:10:08,504
Now, Putra was sketchy, but Washington
saw an opportunity to cut a deal.
215
00:10:08,505 --> 00:10:10,256
In exchange for training,
216
00:10:10,257 --> 00:10:12,007
Putra would allow the CIA to build
217
00:10:12,008 --> 00:10:14,385
a secret chemical weapons lab
in the rainforest.
218
00:10:14,386 --> 00:10:16,095
John Sampson knew about this?
219
00:10:16,096 --> 00:10:18,097
[grunts softly] No.
We were told to keep it from Sampson
220
00:10:18,098 --> 00:10:19,724
and the guys under him.
221
00:10:21,393 --> 00:10:22,811
[young Sampson] Stay low.
222
00:10:24,229 --> 00:10:25,689
Stay low.
223
00:10:26,982 --> 00:10:28,524
Stay low.
224
00:10:28,525 --> 00:10:30,526
- [tense music playing]
- [gunfire in distance]
225
00:10:30,527 --> 00:10:33,154
Stay low. Stay low.
226
00:10:33,155 --> 00:10:35,239
Move, move, move.
227
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,907
[Ahlquist] Sampson was a Boy Scout.
228
00:10:36,908 --> 00:10:38,993
If he'd known we were breaking
international law,
229
00:10:38,994 --> 00:10:40,411
he'd have blown the whistle.
230
00:10:40,412 --> 00:10:42,789
He thought we were there
doing malaria research.
231
00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:46,625
The only Delta guy
who knew what we were really doing
232
00:10:46,626 --> 00:10:49,379
was their commanding officer, Cahill.
233
00:10:53,175 --> 00:10:54,842
He helped us cover it up.
234
00:10:54,843 --> 00:10:57,344
So, that's why Cahill was
on the subway that night?
235
00:10:57,345 --> 00:10:59,972
- Still trying to bury all this?
- Yes.
236
00:10:59,973 --> 00:11:01,932
When that clerk Merrick
stole the Delta files,
237
00:11:01,933 --> 00:11:04,311
she must have tripped
some alarm in the system.
238
00:11:04,811 --> 00:11:06,938
[suspenseful music playing]
239
00:11:13,904 --> 00:11:17,657
The Department of Defense
sent some of their guys to follow her...
240
00:11:18,575 --> 00:11:20,202
...see where she was taking
the stolen info.
241
00:11:22,412 --> 00:11:25,165
They picked up her trail
a few blocks from work.
242
00:11:25,665 --> 00:11:29,669
They figured it was low-level stuff,
since it was from Indonesia in '98.
243
00:11:30,795 --> 00:11:33,339
They had no idea
what that photo could unleash.
244
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,758
[phone ringing]
245
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:39,094
They called Sampson's office
as a courtesy.
246
00:11:39,095 --> 00:11:40,971
It was late.
247
00:11:40,972 --> 00:11:43,474
- Cahill was the only one there.
- Cahill.
248
00:11:43,475 --> 00:11:45,559
He knew, if those files were
being targeted,
249
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:48,187
there must have been
something incriminating in it.
250
00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:51,232
It didn't take him long
to realize what it was.
251
00:11:51,233 --> 00:11:53,651
Cahill caught up with the Feds
tailing Merrick,
252
00:11:53,652 --> 00:11:56,487
he cut them off,
made them get into a fender bender
253
00:11:56,488 --> 00:11:59,240
on the highway so they lost her scent.
254
00:11:59,241 --> 00:12:02,244
Feds never saw him,
and he kept on Anna's tail.
255
00:12:03,745 --> 00:12:05,454
He was Delta.
256
00:12:05,455 --> 00:12:07,623
That kind of stuff was in his wheelhouse.
257
00:12:07,624 --> 00:12:10,209
He tracked her all the way to the subway.
258
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:13,879
He was gonna take the drive from her
as soon as he got her alone.
259
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,882
Then everything went to hell.
260
00:12:17,801 --> 00:12:19,802
But you know that part, don't you?
261
00:12:19,803 --> 00:12:21,971
[insects trilling]
262
00:12:21,972 --> 00:12:25,266
So, when the cops came,
Cahill slipped out and called to warn you.
263
00:12:25,267 --> 00:12:26,684
[Ahlquist] He made two calls.
264
00:12:26,685 --> 00:12:28,602
One to me and one to Foster,
265
00:12:28,603 --> 00:12:32,147
the CIA officer
who ran Operation Mongoose.
266
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:34,984
I know Foster. I ripped his ear off.
267
00:12:34,985 --> 00:12:37,111
[Tamara] Calling Foster makes sense,
268
00:12:37,112 --> 00:12:40,239
'cause Cahill wanted whatever was on
that drive to never see the light of day,
269
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,659
and Cahill figured that the CIA gave them
the best chance of doing that quietly.
270
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:45,453
But why call you?
271
00:12:46,454 --> 00:12:48,290
Like you said,
you were just an assistant.
272
00:12:52,752 --> 00:12:54,379
Snap that shit.
273
00:12:55,422 --> 00:12:56,714
No! No! No! [shouts]
274
00:12:56,715 --> 00:12:59,675
He called because I was using
what we learned in the jungle,
275
00:12:59,676 --> 00:13:01,093
and Cahill knew that.
276
00:13:01,094 --> 00:13:02,262
How did he know?
277
00:13:03,263 --> 00:13:06,557
Uh, after I made billions off pesticides,
when my company grew,
278
00:13:06,558 --> 00:13:09,268
my name was in the press a lot
279
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:11,729
and Cahill recognized me from Indonesia.
280
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:13,689
He reached out years ago,
281
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:17,651
worried that I was gonna do something
to expose Operation Mongoose.
282
00:13:17,652 --> 00:13:20,404
I told him that would be
the last thing I'd let happen.
283
00:13:20,405 --> 00:13:24,241
What we created in that illegal operation
was the basis for my whole business.
284
00:13:24,242 --> 00:13:25,951
If that comes out, we're all ruined.
285
00:13:25,952 --> 00:13:28,537
That's why you hired the mercenaries.
286
00:13:28,538 --> 00:13:30,873
You wanted to make sure the job got done.
287
00:13:30,874 --> 00:13:34,585
But if they had the same goal as the CIA--
suppress the drive--
288
00:13:34,586 --> 00:13:36,670
why kill the CIA operatives in D.C.?
289
00:13:36,671 --> 00:13:39,673
My company's done business in some
of the world's most dangerous places,
290
00:13:39,674 --> 00:13:42,760
and so we've had to hire
some of the world's most dangerous people.
291
00:13:42,761 --> 00:13:44,511
Sometimes, they've gone too far.
292
00:13:44,512 --> 00:13:46,513
I never wanted them to kill anyone.
293
00:13:46,514 --> 00:13:48,474
[panting]
294
00:13:48,475 --> 00:13:50,517
Except maybe those two women.
295
00:13:50,518 --> 00:13:52,187
You know who they really are?
296
00:13:53,188 --> 00:13:56,066
My guys found out
through some of their sources.
297
00:13:57,108 --> 00:13:59,026
The older one, who calls herself "Amisha,"
298
00:13:59,027 --> 00:14:01,070
used to be in Putra's special forces unit.
299
00:14:01,071 --> 00:14:03,280
Worshiped him, from what I understand.
300
00:14:03,281 --> 00:14:06,408
The younger one, Lila, is her acolyte.
301
00:14:06,409 --> 00:14:08,535
Both extremely dangerous.
302
00:14:08,536 --> 00:14:11,580
You could call them
international criminal opportunists.
303
00:14:11,581 --> 00:14:13,374
They usually work for hire,
304
00:14:13,375 --> 00:14:15,376
except, in this case,
they saw an opportunity
305
00:14:15,377 --> 00:14:17,336
to make a lot of money and they took it.
306
00:14:17,337 --> 00:14:19,464
- And we're back to the photo.
- [groans]
307
00:14:24,052 --> 00:14:26,929
Sampson was documenting
the training for Washington.
308
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:28,932
[tense music playing]
309
00:14:31,101 --> 00:14:33,352
I guess we'd gotten careless,
310
00:14:33,353 --> 00:14:37,189
but we were doing things that none
of the soldiers there understood anyway.
311
00:14:37,190 --> 00:14:40,485
We looked down on them,
thought they weren't very smart.
312
00:14:41,486 --> 00:14:43,863
We probably should have been
better with security.
313
00:14:44,948 --> 00:14:48,242
Sir, General Putra wants to take a photo
with the two of us.
314
00:14:48,243 --> 00:14:49,493
Okay, but let's do it outside.
315
00:14:49,494 --> 00:14:51,036
No, no, no, no. Too bright.
316
00:14:51,037 --> 00:14:53,790
It will turn out
much better in here. Come.
317
00:14:54,874 --> 00:14:57,793
Now you send this to Washington, D.C.
so they will always know
318
00:14:57,794 --> 00:15:01,171
what a good friend they have in me, yes?
319
00:15:01,172 --> 00:15:02,924
Of course, General.
320
00:15:06,302 --> 00:15:08,220
[Ahlquist] Cahill would have
destroyed the photo after,
321
00:15:08,221 --> 00:15:11,181
but when it was developed,
he saw that the whiteboard
322
00:15:11,182 --> 00:15:14,686
with our formula on it
was in the background, out of focus.
323
00:15:15,687 --> 00:15:18,063
And so, the photo,
one of countless others,
324
00:15:18,064 --> 00:15:21,734
just became part of the official
documentation of our time down there.
325
00:15:21,735 --> 00:15:24,653
Any sensitive information
became completely illegible.
326
00:15:24,654 --> 00:15:26,405
Illegible in the '90s.
327
00:15:26,406 --> 00:15:28,949
Yeah. Newly developed AI,
328
00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:31,368
when applied to image deconvolution
329
00:15:31,369 --> 00:15:35,205
can, essentially,
digitally refocus the lens.
330
00:15:35,206 --> 00:15:38,585
So, what was unclear yesterday
is clear today.
331
00:15:39,419 --> 00:15:41,837
[Tamara] Okay. Let's say
they have the formula now.
332
00:15:41,838 --> 00:15:43,380
How hard is this stuff to make?
333
00:15:43,381 --> 00:15:46,925
[sighs] It's impossible
without the root biotoxin.
334
00:15:46,926 --> 00:15:48,343
Abrin.
335
00:15:48,344 --> 00:15:50,596
Seventy times more lethal than ricin.
336
00:15:50,597 --> 00:15:52,514
It's hard to get
potent samples in America,
337
00:15:52,515 --> 00:15:55,351
it's relatively common
in the Indonesian rainforests.
338
00:15:56,478 --> 00:15:59,063
We derived it from a plant
called the rosary pea.
339
00:16:00,356 --> 00:16:02,232
- Shit.
- What?
340
00:16:02,233 --> 00:16:03,777
Lila has rosary peas.
341
00:16:04,569 --> 00:16:06,154
I saw them.
342
00:16:07,155 --> 00:16:11,117
[Lila] My mother gave me
this bracelet when I was 16.
343
00:16:11,701 --> 00:16:14,954
Two seeds in each box.
344
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,958
Me and her, always together.
345
00:16:20,043 --> 00:16:22,044
If the formula was secret,
how did Lila and Amisha know

00:25:58,913 --> 00:25:59,996
Why the hell'd he do that?
521
00:25:59,997 --> 00:26:02,290
Because of you.
He'll listen
522
00:26:02,291 --> 00:26:04,710
if you call him, Tamara.
523
00:26:07,421 --> 00:26:08,797

[Tamara] It's pretty chilly
527
00:26:32,196 --> 00:26:33,947
for a summer night.
528
00:26:33,948 --> 00:26:35,324
Looks like a storm's coming.
529
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:40,286
So, Amisha knew the whiteboard
formula was out of focus
530
00:26:40,287 --> 00:26:41,704
because she took the photo?
531
00:26:41,705 --> 00:26:44,457
- Right.
- And when technology advanced enough,
532
00:26:44,458 --> 00:26:47,335
she realized that she could now
make the formula legible.
533
00:26:47,336 --> 00:26:48,962
[Reacher] But the photo
was stored in the old files

to digitize old government files,
537
00:26:56,178 --> 00:26:57,929
Amisha saw her chance.
538
00:26:57,930 --> 00:26:59,639
They moved the files off base

to a government facility
that isn't as secure.
540
00:27:02,476 --> 00:27:03,768
Amisha does her research,

00:27:03,769 --> 00:27:06,939
figures out which clerk
has weaknesses they could exploit.

Yeah, he headed down
to the service entrance a few minutes ago.

Security there isn't answering
on the walkie, and he's pissed as hell.

00:33:26,485 --> 00:33:27,860
the freeways tomorrow.
694
00:33:27,861 --> 00:33:29,821
They're hitting here, where I am, tonight.
695
00:33:29,822 --> 00:33:31,030
Where are you?
696
00:33:31,031 --> 00:33:32,615
Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.
697
00:33:32,616 --> 00:33:35,117
Outdoor fundraiser, lots of people.
698
00:33:35,118 --> 00:33:37,370
Not as many as they'd kill
during morning rush hour.
699
00:33:37,371 --> 00:33:39,455
Why would they attack
a smaller charity event?
700
00:33:39,456 --> 00:33:41,123
Because it's my wife's charity event.
701
00:33:41,124 --> 00:33:42,751
They know I'll be here.
702
00:33:43,252 --> 00:33:46,712
I didn't tell you this before,
'cause it wasn't relevant,
703
00:33:46,713 --> 00:33:47,922
but when I said
704
00:33:47,923 --> 00:33:50,716
Delta hunted down
and took out General Putra,
705
00:33:50,717 --> 00:33:53,719
I was the one who pulled the trigger.
706
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,721
[indistinct shouting in distance]
707
00:33:56,515 --> 00:33:58,684

708
00:34:09,069 --> 00:34:10,444
No!

[foreboding music playing]
715
00:34:34,970 --> 00:34:38,639
[John] The woman
calling herself Amisha saw me do it.
716
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,934
She idolized Putra.
717
00:34:42,269 --> 00:34:45,229
If she needs to pick a place in Philly
to demonstrate her weapon,
718
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:48,024
why not an event
that also exacts some revenge?
719
00:34:48,025 --> 00:34:50,067
Get paid, get payback.
720
00:34:50,068 --> 00:34:51,569
It's a nice bonus for her.
721
00:34:51,570 --> 00:34:53,237
No reason she wouldn't choose your event.
722
00:34:53,238 --> 00:34:54,697
Penn's Landing's not far.
723
00:34:54,698 --> 00:34:56,157
Hang on.
724
00:34:56,158 --> 00:34:57,910
- [tires screeching]
- [car horn honks]

- [phone beeps]
- Hey, stay on the line.
726
00:35:03,415 --> 00:35:04,582
Springfield.
727
00:35:04,583 --> 00:35:06,250
Sir, we have a problem.
728
00:35:06,251 --> 00:35:07,793
Let me guess.
729
00:35:07,794 --> 00:35:10,504
Guard at the service entrance is dead.
730
00:35:10,505 --> 00:35:11,714
Throat slit.
731
00:35:11,715 --> 00:35:13,466
[quietly] Fuck.
732
00:35:13,467 --> 00:35:15,385
The shit's gonna break bad here soon.
733
00:35:18,847 --> 00:35:21,057
Do you want me to send Elspeth home?
734
00:35:21,058 --> 00:35:23,017
I already did.
735
00:35:23,018 --> 00:35:25,811
Negative. She's approaching me right now.
736
00:35:25,812 --> 00:35:27,772
Oh, damn it, Elly.
737
00:35:27,773 --> 00:35:30,150
Look, get her out of here. I got to go.
738
00:35:31,401 --> 00:35:32,235
[tires screeching]
739
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,320
Reacher,
740
00:35:34,321 --> 00:35:35,738
we got a murdered security guard here.
741
00:35:35,739 --> 00:35:36,948
This is happening now.
742
00:35:36,949 --> 00:35:38,115
Evacuate the venue.
743
00:35:38,116 --> 00:35:40,368
They see people running out,
they'll trigger the weapon early.
744
00:35:40,369 --> 00:35:41,786
Right now they don't know we know.
745
00:35:41,787 --> 00:35:43,579
Our best chance
is to neutralize the attack.
746
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:46,332
How? We don't even know
how they're gonna aerosol the toxin.
747
00:35:46,333 --> 00:35:48,542
Yes, we do. Ahlquist already told us.
748
00:35:48,543 --> 00:35:50,461
He said a suicide bomber
would take out Times Square.
749
00:35:50,462 --> 00:35:52,421
Should be more than enough
for Penn's Landing.
750
00:35:52,422 --> 00:35:55,424
Lila and Amisha aren't gonna
sacrifice themselves.
751
00:35:55,425 --> 00:35:57,468
They're in this to get rich, not die.
752
00:35:57,469 --> 00:35:59,720
But if they have terrorist contacts
to sell the weapons to,
753
00:35:59,721 --> 00:36:01,722
maybe they got one of those groups
to loan 'em a zealot.
754
00:36:01,723 --> 00:36:04,433
They get proof the toxin works
and credit for the attack.
755
00:36:04,434 --> 00:36:06,727
When we got the jump drive
from my mailbox,
756
00:36:06,728 --> 00:36:08,354
Plum said something about
757
00:36:08,355 --> 00:36:11,565
Lila flying in someone
from the country of Djibouti.
758
00:36:11,566 --> 00:36:13,275
Did you get a look at the guy?
759
00:36:13,276 --> 00:36:14,568
No.
760
00:36:14,569 --> 00:36:16,904
We don't need a photo.
Sampson, you were Delta.
761
00:36:16,905 --> 00:36:18,448
Assume you know The List?
762
00:36:19,074 --> 00:36:20,075
Of course I do.
763
00:36:21,535 --> 00:36:22,911
Run it down.
764
00:36:23,495 --> 00:36:26,789
Number one: inappropriate clothes.
765
00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:30,252
Big, baggy, to hide explosives.
766
00:36:31,253 --> 00:36:33,295
Number two: uneven movement
767
00:36:33,296 --> 00:36:35,840
because of the weight of the device
or due to being drugged.
768
00:36:35,841 --> 00:36:38,760
Number three: carrying a bag...
769
00:36:41,013 --> 00:36:43,472
...a knapsack, briefcase.
770
00:36:43,473 --> 00:36:44,557

clenched fist
around the detonation device.
772

mumbling to themselves,

possibly praying.
778

odd breathing patterns.

781
00:37:03,827 --> 00:37:05,411
only looking straight ahead
so you don't have to see

00:37:05,412 --> 00:37:06,454
who you're about to kill.
783
00:37:06,455 --> 00:37:08,873
Number nine: intense focus.
784
00:37:08,874 --> 00:37:10,751
Number ten: walking with directed purpose.

for your selflessness

and will forever be in your debt.

00:37:39,988 --> 00:37:41,865
Got to go, Reacher.

00:37:42,866 --> 00:37:44,493
