Reacher Season-Finale Recap: A Long Day’s Gurney Into Night
Reacher promised to throw his latest enemy out of a helicopter, and Reacher is a man of his word.
Reacher ’s season finale underscores this problem by daring to title itself “Fly Boy.” As the episode commences, Langston has two of the former 110th Special Investigators — David O’Donnell and Karla Dixon — strapped to gurneys, which is how he prefers to prep victims for helo-dropping. Coordinating their efforts with Neagly — who, despite her demonstrated preference for ’90s rock, chooses Jefferson Airplane’s drug anthem “White Rabbit” as the song track to their assault on the building — these three former soldiers go in shooting, prompting Langston to abandon his fellows and flee aboard the helicopter into which Dixon and O’Donnell have already been loaded for dropping. Reacher dials up another unfamiliar needle drop, “Beat the Machine” by Quaker City Nighthawks, to cue the montage of the various beneficiaries of his free-spirited vigilante hobo largesse — all people who lost loved ones in this bloody affair — opening their giant boxes of cash: Franz’s widow, Orozco’s girlfriend (seen leaving her bar job in a pricey-looking new convertible), Detective Russo’s brother.
