What happened in season 3 episode 5?
In Reacher season 3 episode 5, Smackdown, the action gets more intense as some important characters die and fights get worse. At the start of the episode, Jack Reacher finds out that Zachary Beck's business, Bizarre Bazaar, is involved in trafficking weapons instead of drugs.
Federal agent Steven Eliot, who was left in charge of Quinn's bodyguard John Cooper, is tricked into giving Cooper a cigarette.
Cooper uses rubbing alcohol to make an explosive fireball that sets Eliot on fire, which starts a chain of events that ends in death. Cooper then stomps on Eliot's head very hard, killing him in a brutal and planned way. The loss is very sad for the team, especially Duffy, who worked closely with him.
At the same time, Quinn's men ambush Duffy and Guillermo as they look into a warehouse that has ties to Quinn and Beck. Reacher tries to warn them, but it's too late when they get his message. Even though they are being shot at, Duffy and Guillermo get away with Reacher's help, but not without problems.
Jack hides Duffy's FBI badge to keep her safe after she loses it in the chaos. As the investigation goes on, Paulie, Quinn's bodyguard, kills Annette, an ATF agent who was working on the case in secret. Quinn's men find out about her activities and kill her.
Reacher lost another close friend when Paulie slapped her in the face and killed her. He had hoped to use her information to bring down Quinn. Reacher fights Paulie in a fierce battle, but the enforcer is too big and strong for Reacher to handle. Reacher and Guillermo later set up a roadblock to stop Cooper before he gets to Beck's house.
Cooper is killed, and Guillermo's last words, "This is for Eliot," make you feel like justice was done. Reacher is getting ready for his inevitable showdown with Quinn at the end of the episode.
All the released episodes of Reacher season 3 are now available to stream exclusively on Prime Video.
