It means, that Major Turner

told you in confidence.

A great deal about what she learned

from her investigation in Afghanistan.

How much did you tell Jack Reacher?

No...

We didn't talk about that...

Of course you did.

No...

We talked for 10...

10 minutes.

10 minutes is a very long time.

As you're about to learn.

- No ..

[MILITARY POLICE]

Jack Reacher? Colonel Morgan

was wondering if you have a few minutes.

You don't remember me do you?

Anthony Espin.

Ah, you were still C.O. when I got here.

Held back my promotion for 6 months.

Why'd I do that? - Cause you were hard ass person said I

jumped to conclusions. - I'm sure I jumped to conclusions.

Have a seat.

You're under no obligation

to say anything Major.

Ex Major.

Upon leaving yesterday,

did you attempt to contact Major Turner?

Did you confront her attorney

Col. Moorcroft at Fort Dyer at 1100?

You told me not to say anything.

I said you didn't have to say anything.

Yes.

Yes, you confronted him?

Yes I understand, I don't

have to say anything.

For the record, you did

confront Colonel Moorcroft yesterday.

Can you state your whereabouts last

night between 0130 and 0500?

Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes I understand, I don't

have to say anything.

Note for the record the Major has an injury to

his hand not present during yesterday's meeting.

We're done here.

At approximately 0230 this morning Colonel

Archibald Moorcroft was beaten to death.

You're my attorney?

Lt. Sullivan.

- How do you do? - You are hereby charged

with the murder of a Judge Advocate General.

- Where was he killed?

- In his apartment.

- Off base?

- Yes.

This is a civilian matter.

As a private citizen the army has no

jurisdiction, turn me over to DC police.

You're familiar with article 10.75

of the military code?

An officer with your security clearance remains

subject to recall in event of emergency.

You agreed to it when you

signed your discharge.

Welcome back to the Army, Major.

You're under arrest.

[FORT DYER - MAXIMUM DETENTION FACILITY -

Washington, DC]

Open BA211.

[UNLOCK/OPEN]

Stand here, don't move.

Pass for prisoner transfer.

I'll file for disclosure.

They'll turn over whatever evidence

they have on you.

There won't be any evidence.

What are you talking about?

They killed their investigators,

they killed their lawyer.

- Evidence suggests you killed Major

Turner's lawyer. - They're gonna kill her.

And they're gonna kill me,

for all I know, you're part of it.

Listen d*ckhead, you're the one

accused of a murder.

Want to show me one shred of evidence?

I'll defend you to kingdom come,

otherwise go to hell.

I apologize, I have low blood sugar.

Excuse me?
