Reacher season 3 episode 4 recap
In Reacher season 3 episode 4, Jack Reacher's pursuit of his old enemy, Lt. Francis Xavier Quinn, escalates. Quinn, believed to be dead, has assumed the identity of Julius McCabe and is using Zachary Beck’s criminal empire as a front. Reacher, continuing his undercover mission, learns about a betrayal within Quinn’s operation, as Beck confronts McCabe about his men's failures.
Reacher teams up with DEA agent Susan Duffy and her partners, Guillermo and Eliot, to investigate a major shipment linked to Beck’s business. Jack quickly identifies McCabe as Quinn, triggering painful flashbacks to his past.
The flashback reveals Jack's history with Quinn, including an investigation into Quinn’s illegal military dealings years earlier. Jack and his partner, Sergeant Dominique Kohl, uncovered Quinn’s manipulation of soldiers, forcing them to sell military secrets. Tragically, Quinn kidnapped and killed Kohl, a loss that continues to haunt Jack.
In the present, Reacher, with Duffy and Guillermo’s help, infiltrates Beck’s organization, gaining his trust while uncovering more about Quinn's operations. Meanwhile, Duffy wrestles with guilt over sending an informant into harm’s way, drawing a parallel to Jack’s loss of Kohl.
