All throughout Reacher Season 2, the storyline – a faithful adaptation of the Lee Child book Bad Luck and Trouble – has been building to a confrontation between Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), the members of the 110th, and Langston (Robert Patrick), the criminal mastermind partially responsible for pulling all the strings. And in the pulse-pounding final moments of Reacher Season 2, episode 7 – which you can see with an Amazon Prime Video subscription – our hero finally came face-to-face with his adversary as the beating drums of Soul Coughing’s “Super Bon Bon” rang out. (The episode is titled “The Man Goes Through,” inspired by the song’s catchy lyrics.) Reacher and Langston assuredly will duke it out in the season finale. But speaking with Patrick about his work on the show, he reveals one thing he already regrets not doing in Reacher.
Amazon’s head of TV promised a bold season of Reacher, and so far, the show has delivered. Langston has been working a major scheme involving ground-to-air missiles, and members of Reacher’s elite military operation have been paying the ultimate price for the job. As Reacher got closer to the overall threat, he’s now face-to-face with Langston – and even agreed to enter the criminal’s warehouse unarmed (though he does have Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley keeping watch).
