Reacher Season 2

STORY

Episodes 01

“ATM”

Somewhere in the Catskill Mountains, a man is shown being thrown out of a helicopter to his death. The next day, Jack Reacher is collecting his pension check in Arkansas when he intervenes to subdue an armed carjacker. He then notices that his own ATM receipt has a military emergency assistance code embedded in the amounts. Reacher contacts his former teammate Neagley, who confirms that she planted it there to get his attention. The man dropped from the helicopter was Calvin Franz, another former member of Reacher’s hand-picked Special Investigations Unit during his time in the Army. The two begin investigating the murder with the help of a third member, David O’Donnell; Reacher obtains a data drive hidden by Franz, obtaining a list of numbers and proof that someone is targeting every living member of Reacher’s unit. The trio swear to avenge their dead friend by finding and punishing his killers themselves.

Episodes 02

“What Happens in Atlantic City”

Reacher assaults a stranger tailing him, only to then identify him as NYPD Detective Guy Russo. Reacher, Neagley, and O’Donnell visit Atlantic City, where two more teammates (Sanchez and Orozco) work as security guards for the Neptune Casino. Along the way they meet Karla Dixon, another member of the team and potential love interest for Reacher. They find a helpful ally in David Wright, the casino’s Chief of Security. He comps the team a suite to stay in and helps them search for Sanchez and Orozco. Unfortunately, his police contacts confirm that both men were abducted, murdered, and dumped in the same region of mountains as Franz. He is also able to confirm that none of the casinos are missing money, so the numbers on the list must mean something else. A later assassination attempt points them back towards New York, to a company called New Age Technologies.

Episodes 03

“Picture Says a Thousand Words”

Flashbacks show Langston torturing Franz for information. Before being thrown from the helicopter, Franz warns Langston that the “big guy” is coming for him. In the present, Reacher acquires guns for the team, before he and O’Donnell are arrested by Russo. Russo reveals that his investigations have identified a suspect into the murders, Azari Mahmoud, the owner of the “AM” aliases. Meanwhile, Neagley and Dixon visit the offices of New Age Technologies, where Director of Operations Marlo Burns identifies the man who had been sent to kill them as Trevor Seropian and gives them his address. While in Denver, “AM” realizes that his aliases have been blown and tells Langston that his planned arrival in New York will be delayed; meanwhile, Dixon deduces that the list of figures discovered on the Franz USB represents days and months. Reacher, Neagley, Dixon, and O’Donnell pay a visit to Seropian’s house, correctly anticipating an ambush, and kill a large number of mercenaries working for New Age. With New Age’s involvement now confirmed, the team members conduct a raid on the company’s HQ, finding evidence that Swan had been an employee there.

Episodes 04

“A Night at the Symphony”

As the team members investigate their discoveries from New Age, they disagree on Swan’s motives after he was revealed to be working in the company’s security department. The team members find out that New Age has a government defense contract called Little Wing, thanks to notes from a senator named Lavoy. Meanwhile, back in Denver, AM kills a plastic surgeon in an attempt to steal his identity before flying to New York. The team members track the senator’s legislative aide to Boston, where Dixon helps Oscar Finlay arrest the aide to coerce information out of him. The aide reveals to Reacher and O’Donnell that Little Wing is a missile program, conducted in New Age facilities in Denver and New York, to create missiles that will always hit their targets. Reacher realizes that people from New Age are planning to sell 650 missiles to AM to enable terrorist attacks.

Neagley and Dixon pay a visit to New Age’s facility in Denver attempting to see the missiles, only to find that they have already been taken away in a truck. One of AM’s henchmen stages the breakdown of another truck on the first truck’s route and kills its driver. He opens the truck’s trailer, revealing three other henchmen and the missiles. Neagley and Dixon who have been chasing the first truck come upon the scene, just after the henchmen have switched the trailers. The henchmen try to kill Neagley and Dixon. The first henchman drives off with the missiles before Neagley and Dixon kill the other three. In the paperwork Neagley and Dixon received from the manager of New Age’s Denver facility they learn that Swan had allowed the missiles to leave New Age. Meanwhile, Reacher and O’Donnell visit Washington D.C. and make a trip to the Department of Homeland Security for information on AM. Senator Lavoy catches up with Reacher and offers his assistance towards stopping a possible terrorist attack. The team members then head back to New York for Franz’s funeral, where Reacher runs into and confronts Russo, who reveals that Langston and the New Age security department, minus Swan, are former NYPD detectives who took early retirement after being investigated. During the funeral, two hitmen try to kill the team members. One of the hitmen is killed; Reacher and Russo chase and catch the other. He reveals that Swan paid him to kill the members of the team; when he goes to an abandoned building to collect his payment, the building explodes.

Russo learns that his boss was contacted by New Age and is involved with their plans, having been bribed into revealing information regarding Reacher and the team. When Russo and Burns’ daughter Jane attempt to go into hiding, they are tracked by New Age hitmen attempting to kill them while pursuing them in a high speed chase across the city, forcing Russo to call the team for backup. The team enlists Burns as bait to lure Langston and other members of New Age into a trap, which results in Reacher killing all of them minus Langston, who escapes.

However, Reacher ensures that Grant dies from an embolism as revenge for killing Russo before leaving. They find a hitman disguised as a doctor sent to kill Grant and the hitman is accidentally killed in the fight between him, Neagley and Reacher.
