Reacher Season 3 Book vs TV Show
| In the Book |
In the TV Show |
|
Throughout the book Reacher recalls working with Sergeant Dominique Kohl; an MP who worked for him and was murdered by Quinn when she tried to arrest him for selling military secrets. She was tortured to death the same way Beck’s maid was. Quinn also kills Lt Frasconi. That is why Reacher tried to murder Quinn ten years ago, and wants another chance to do so now. After Reacher finds Kohl’s body, he tracks down Quinn and shoots him in the head with a suppressed 22 pistol he checked out from the armory. Quinn falls into the ocean. |
Sergeant Kohl is beaten and killed by Quinn after he kills Corporal Frasconi. Reacher tracks Quinn down to a farm house where he finds Kohl’s corpse. He leads Quinn to a riverside cliff and shoots in him the head with Quinn’s 22 caliber pistol. Quinn falls into the river and is washed away. |

Duffy and Villanueva go around to various address associated with Beck’s businesses to search for Teresa. Three men enter the building the Duffy is searching and try to shoot them. Reacher and Duffy kill the men, but she drops her DEA badge; Reacher picks it up. Reacher tells Duffy to leave with Villanueva and toss Angel Doll’s laptop out of the car window on the way out. Reacher meets up with the last of the three men (he is known to them as Beck’s man) and drives away with him. But the man finds the laptop and tells his boss that he thinks that Duffy and Villanueva are federal agents. Reacher hides the DEA badge in his pillow.

The next day after the maid was murdered. The phones go out; no land line or cell service to their remote location. Reacher suspects that the driver and bodyguard that Duffy was holding escaped and she somehow managed to get phone service disabled to the remote estate for several hours. Reacher volunteers to go out and check the entrance to the estate from the highway. |
The driver that Eliot was guarding manages to overpower Eliot and kill him. He escapes. Duffy finds Eliot’s corpse soon after. Duffy calls Reacher to warn him. Duffy shoots/damages a power transformer to knock out power and phone lines to the remote location where Beck’s estate is located. Reacher goes to the end of the road at the entrance to Beck’s property. |
