Needing answers, Reacher (Alan Ritchson), Green (Sydelle Noel) and Merrick (Christopher Rodriguez Marquette) reunite with journalist Russell Plum (Kevin Weisman) before a group of unknown mercenaries wipes out a squad of CIA agents to get to them leading to a road trip. Another conversation with Amisha Hoth (Anggun), who reveals herself to be a journalist on the case of attempting to expose both the Congressman (Marc Blucas) and his chief of staff (Chris Owens) of war crimes, gives Reacher a new foothold and allows for the reporter and Reacher to bond over both of them feeling responsible for Anna Merrick’s (Karen Kwong-Chip) death.
