Reacher enters the house with the party in progress. He kills silently one guard with his hands, goes to Duke’s bedroom to see that Eliot is dead and the mechanic is working on the jammed machine gun. He kills the mechanic and knocks out Troy the computer guy. He finds Teresa Daniel in another bedroom, in a white dress, drugged but able to walk. He hides her in another room, then goes to the kitchen and tells the caterers he needs to move their truck and takes their keys. He backs the truck up to the kitchen then puts Teresa Daniel into the back of the van. He drives the van out to Duffy and Villanueva and give Teresa to them. |
Neagley dons Beck’s shirt, vest and bowtie to blend in with the other waiters. Neagley is confronted by the catering boss for her aimless wandering at the party. She tells him she is working under cover to find out who is stealing from him; he agrees to cooperate.

Villanueva tells Reacher that he wants to be with him when he makes a move on Beck, Reacher agrees. Villanueva was Teresa Daniel’s mentor. He did not stop her from letting Duffy put her undercover. |
This is not in the TV series. Daniels was a confidential informant, not an agent.

Before the party and weapons buy, Reacher tells Richard and Elizabth to leave; they refuse. He loads the Russian machine gun into the car along with all of the ammo. Quinn calls the guard house asking if Reacher is dead yet, Reacher tells him that he is. Reacher mounts the machine gun in Duke’s old room to aim at the gate. He calls Duffy and tells her to get to Beck’s estate as soon as she can. |
This is not in the TV series. |

When Eliot, Duffy and Villanueva arrive at Beck’s estate, Reacher assigns Eliot to the machine gun in the house after Villanueva refuses; he wants to rescue Teresa Daniel. Duffy, Reacher and Villanueva drive to Portland to find Beck. They break into Xavier’s warehouse but find nothing except bloodstains probably belonging to the maid they tortured and a holding cell that might have held Teresa Daniel (Agent Justice). They find the word Justice and today’s date. Duffy steals some files and they leave after four minutes as they had tripped a silent alarm. |
This is not in the TV series.

Duffy, Reacher and Villanueva drive to Missionary House’s underground garage, where Xavier’s Export Company is located. Reacher confronts a woman named Emily Smith. She is surprised as she believes Reacher was killed by Paulie. Reacher interrogates her, decides she does not know about the maid being tortured and killed, so he lets her live. He confines her to the bathroom by tying the door shut. |
This does not happen in the TV series. |
