Video summary

In this recap of *Reacher* Season 4, Episode 5, titled "Bridge," the hosts discuss how a misunderstanding escalates Reacher's situation, making him the most wanted man in Philadelphia while old enemies resurface and new threats emerge. The episode is characterized by an intense, high-speed chase sequence that spans the entire runtime, featuring Reacher and Tamara being pursued by two dangerous Indonesian operatives known as "Black Widows." These adversaries are revealed to be far more lethal than anticipated, wielding automatic rifles and deadly curved blades, which leads to a chaotic pursuit involving car crashes, bridge chases, and a harrowing escape through a building where Tamara repels down the side of the structure. The hosts delve into the complex moral ambiguities surrounding the characters Jacob and his uncle, debating whether they can be trusted given their involvement with the antagonists. While Jacob avenges his sister's death by killing innocent bystanders during the chase, including a man returning home to his daughters, the hosts express outrage at this ruthlessness. They analyze the possibility that Jacob might actually be in cahoots with the Black Widows, suggesting that his seemingly foolish behavior and willingness to get caught could indicate he is playing a double game. This theory is reinforced by the fact that despite being held hostage with a knife around his neck, Reacher manages to escape, leaving the audience wondering if Jacob will survive or if he is merely setting up a larger trap. The narrative also uncovers significant plot twists regarding the drive found in the hotel room, which contains not only compromising photos of a congressman and soldiers but also torture videos that expose the vicious nature of the Indonesian killers. The hosts speculate on the connection between these operatives and high-level figures, such as the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate mentioned in the files, hinting at a vast crime syndicate operating behind the scenes. As the episode concludes with Reacher and Tamara escaping to a warehouse where Jacob is held hostage by Amisha, the hosts agree that while the situation is dire, Jacob is unlikely to die because his actions suggest he is an active participant in the conspiracy rather than a helpless victim, setting the stage for a dramatic resolution in the next installment.

What is going on everyone? We are back be Avery and Lamont for Reacher season 4 episode five titled Bridge. Following a misunderstanding, Reacher becomes the most wanted man in Philadelphia. Old enemies track it down and a new one appear. Jacob, Tamara, and Plum end up involved in a shooting and Jacob avenges his sister's death. Of course, we are talking spoilers. Lamont, we uh got a reveal at the end of episode 4 that Amisha and Leila are not who they seem. They got these Kurami blades from India going around chopping people up and they are quite dangerous. We see that at the very beginning of this episode. Did you see this coming? Was you expecting it? How you feeling? How did you feel about the episode, sir? Let us know. Please let us know. >> This episode, I feel like it was the longest chase scene in TV history. >> All we got was purity chase scenes. Like this whole episode. I liked it. It was a roller coaster ride. I was on the high, but they kept me on that high so long. I was ready to come off of it for a little bit. And in regards to our Indonesian black widows, I said to you, if you can remember, I said be Avery, they normally don't let Reacher get the panty draws that early. I said that and I said it could have repercussions. And damn it, it did have repercussions. But what the problem is, the Indonesian Black Widow thinks that Reacher is the ordinary man. He's not. Reacher is definitely on the spectrum and people who are on the spectrum sensory is a little different and he is not going to fall or succumb to any more of her widow tricks. >> Yeah, I don't think he will anymore. Um but he was tricked. You know, she did put something on him and that made him uh overlook some things, man. and you know, she was able to slip some things through the cracks and, you know, almost get away with this. But the cat is out the bag, man. Um, that's quite interesting to me. I like the fact and I like the episode, too. I um thought it was very fascinating. I do agree with you in every sense that my goodness gracious, this whole episode was a giant chase scene. And I did like it, too. It it it was entertaining, you know. Um, I I wasn't like you as far as me wanting it to be done. I I noticed it just like, wow, that they are really doing a lot. They're doing um interesting things with this camera. I like the score. That was fantastic. These long ass takes. So, um I I really did enjoy it, but um I also liked how they figured out well the exposition that we got when Richard realized he was wrong. Like, you know, hey, we got to figure out what happened to Leila and Amisha. And that's like um about that. I don't think that they were kidnapped, you know, we they go back to the room, they see that their bodyguards are dead, you know, but the the corner or the lady at the hospital said this and comparing notes, we think it's them. They are the ones that hired the Only Fans model to seduce Ben so he can get the information off of the drive. And of course, we got to talk about that. I definitely did not see that coming, but my my my goodness gracious. Um, but they they figure out that where the drive is and they just come, you know, emptying magazines in the middle of the street, you know, just spraying them down like that's a hell of a leap right there, you know. And one episode we thinking they good little two shoes and Amisha can't talk. Next thing you know, she's like, "Was that a lot to you or or or how did you feel about all that? Man, you got me laughing over here about these indo hoes, man. These chicks, they roof. It's like they GI Joe or something, man. These chicks was hanging out the window. Talk about a scrub. I don't want nobody hanging out the backseat of my friends. These chicks was out the window with automatic rifles. Okay, not semi-automatic. These was full magazines. And the one that was playing the role of the mama, I told you, keep an eye on her. I told you, she just as dangerous. I mean, she might be even more dangerous than um the other girl. And both of them wield blades. And I just thought that that scene where they got trapped on a bridge since we're talking about them chasing everybody with guns. Well, let's just let me go back to when they you'll get to it in a minute, but I have a lot of thoughts about the pursuit that those two endo black widows gave Reacher and Mrs. Green. So, when they get to the brother's house and they go in his mailbox and and everything has been sent, >> be Avery, I'm saying to myself, why y'all just acting like people not looking for y'all? You taking your sweet time. Get in the car. Get moving. Open the damn letter. Okay, we don't have to be standing around waiting and no sooner than I say that you see a little black SUV creeping up and when you first saw that SUV, you should have got your ass in the car. Now again, TV continues to do the thing that we always complain about. TV has the worst people shooting guns that we have ever seen because if this was real, everybody in that car, including my my man, the nerd, he would have been dead. >> Yeah. >> He He would have at least got a haircut. Ba, he ain't even get no haircut. >> Right. Right. Right. I do agree. I do agree. I do agree. >> Oh, okay. You Okay. Okay. Yeah. Um I I I agree. I feel the same way. Um they they did get away a little bit too easy, you know. They made one right turn and almost flipped over the car, you know, but it ended up balancing out. Um but being not what is his name? The um yeah, being kind of a weakling weasel to me. Uh he folded a few times in this episode and you know he's trying to play the tough guy like well you know I'm going to avenge my family. you know that you didn't lose what I lost, but you know, you always giving up. We know what happened at the end of this episode, but that was just like the stupidest plan that they came up with. Well, I mean, I Okay, I I will give it to him. I like how he was going fast and he made the sharp right turn and ended up on the bridge and that made uh Leila and Amisha crash. That was fine, but they just should have just stayed right there. I don't understand why she had to get her gun with her seven bullets and point it out the back of the car and shoot while he's backing up. Like like you said 10 seconds ago, they have automatic weapons. So that wasn't the smartest thing to do. You know, they ended up they ended up getting away. Uh but you know, up until this point, you know, I I thought it was um uh a rather entertaining uh chase scene um at least in the car right here. So, you know, um I I I did enjoy that. I um >> I still don't trust the brother. >> I I probably like my you got be my Spidey senses still tingle a little bit in my spine with that brother. I've been saying this from episode one. There's something about Smallville, for those that don't know what I'm talking about. Clark Kent, that's who the little brother is trying to act like. There's something about him that's off to me, man. I don't know what it is, but I a part of me just don't trust that brother. >> Okay. Well, we we'll see. I You know, you're really good with your theories. You are. I I will give you that. I don't I can't give you this one, though. But we going to see. I could be wrong. And my bad. I said Ben. That That was the nephew. I meant Jacob. Um you know, he's weasling up a bit. But they escape. They jump into the water. And this is just awful. Like why they got to kill the man that's going home to his three daughters when he got the giant teddy bear? I mean can't you can't just knock him out. >> I mean what? That's just evil. >> Out the car. >> Yeah. Fed car. >> What was at least leave a teddy bear in there so that when they find the stolen car, the kids can get the damn teddy bear. I'm sure that maybe the store owners or somebody will look out for the kids, but y'all got to be that ruthless. This man was doing nothing. He's well known in the community and y'all just sliced them up. >> Yeah. Yeah. Uh they deserve to die after that. You know, the murders that they did in the hotel, you can just easily write that off as self-defense because it was um but this guy right here was just completely innocent. So, um I I'm I'm really upset about that. You know, they definitely definitely do um deserve to get their asses kicked for that right there. But, you know, um it's >> Let me ask you about the If if you don't mind, let me ask you about Jacob from that bridge scene. >> Yeah. >> Well, not just that, because you talked about how he had a couple of fups. >> Don't you think the bridge scene was a f up, too? >> Like, bro, I mean, if we being realistic about this, be Avery, you reversing and these chicks have unlimited bullets in an automatic weapon. You're dead. What you think you doing? >> You're acting emotionally and stupid. And when we get too tilted on our emotions, we all behave outside our norm. And that's what he's doing. But to me, I think if they wanted to have killed him, they could have. And they didn't. And you notice that the only person who really got away and was able to hide in that scene was our nerd guy. And we're looking for the nerd guy. >> So this just further kind of makes me think, should we trust Jacob? I don't I don't You said that they could have shot him, but they didn't. I don't I don't see that. Um, you know, I don't I don't see them trying to save him through all of those bullets that were flying through the air. I just don't. But we'll we'll see. Y'all let us know what y'all think. Do y'all agree with Lamont and his theory that we cannot trust Jacob, you know, and the the the two Black Widows are are not trying to kill him? >> B with that much high power rifles, >> one of them should have died. Period. >> True. >> You you literally you could close your eyes and aim at that car with that kind of weapon and just move your hand left to right like this. >> I I agree. that may just be bare riding on their end, >> you know. >> Okay. >> But I, you know, I'm I'm not I'm not I did get a laugh um out of Plum when he was like, "If you don't like what I'm going to do, get out the car now or leave." And he got his ass out and and ran. That That was That was funny. >> That was funny, man. >> That was very That was very funny. That was very very funny. Um who who or who is Thomas Wabber? Um they said that you know with the passports and they was flying people in and out and Plum was looking on the computer and it was a dark um chocolate African gentleman uh I think his name was Tom. What do you think is going on with that character right there and them trying to bring him into the states? Bring him into the fold. Bro, I have I have no idea. Like, if I'm connecting the dots and I'm listening to what the North Carolina Senate gubernatorial candidate is saying that he was in the picture because the other guy was a scientist of malaria. Are they, you know, instead of selling arms, are they selling disease? I And this guy is like some kind of trafficker of such things from Africa. >> Uh maybe he's a fixer. Maybe he can get you passports, change your names. Maybe he's a tech guy. I I don't know what his connection is, but we know it's it's most likely not good. >> Gotcha. Yeah. Um we'll see. It seemed like they're trying to write him off as innocent in the way, too. But, you know, we we'll find out. I have no idea either. U I have no idea, but you guys let us know your thoughts. Let us know your theories on what this can mean for the show and the other characters because we're curious. Now, Lamont, this is a crazy scene right here. I kind of had to turn my head away a little bit. I was squeamish, you know. What did you How did you feel about Reacher pulling a guy's head through the jail cell and ripping his ear off. Was that justified or not? >> I look It was justified. I looked down cuz I said to myself, Amazon really is going to pull this through. And I mean that folks with the double antandra. They pulled that through. Yeah, >> he tried to shoot Reacher and I thought it was pretty slick. Reacher was able to use that pillow to avoid it. I mean, dude, he should have Reacher should have beat him down. Probably hurt him like this the first time >> because don't be surprised if we see this guy again. >> Don't be surprised. >> And what I want to know is how crooked is the Philly police force if he was able to get in that easily? I told you we couldn't trust Greensboro. >> Very true. >> Yeah. >> Day one and I still don't trust them. And so, you know, I'm just curious to know what is going on in that police department. There are some obviously some crooked cops. And I think Jacob's uncle Well, I ain't going to say that. I'mma say it. I was getting that. I think that Jacob's uncle you can't trust either. I don't cuz he he just he don't know what's going on. and he he seems like he he's even worse than Jacob as far as the amount of courage he has or the lack thereof. But it's like this is just out of our league. We don't have the resources. Okay, call the FBI, let them know what you know and let them do their job. I'm going to order some food and you know blah blah blah. I don't trust him. I think he's way more or less trustworthy than Jacob, but you feel the opposite. So you don't trust Jacob. I don't trust the uncle. It's like this, man. One of them we can't trust, which makes it hard to trust either one of them. So, but I don't believe they were right that both of them are dishonorable, but one of them we can't trust. And you know, the buyout for the uncle is that he's old. He's probably close to retirement. He probably don't want to be dealing with these issues anyway. He's probably got some mental health issues going on. They kind of highlight a bit. So it's it's easy to believe that he wouldn't want to deal with this because at this stage in his career behavior, he's lazy and just want to be done with it. >> But you could be right. So I am going to say right here, ladies and gentlemen, one of those two is in on the spread. Okay? One of those two. >> Well, let me ask you this. What is more likely? They're both innocent or they're both guilty. Guilty as guilty as >> I I got you. I got you. Okay. Okay. >> Say he did that man. Guilty as F. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. Um something else though uh that you just brought up? Um what was the last thing you What was we talking about right before that that scene? I was going to make a point uh about another character, but it slipped my mind. What was what? Okay, I if it comes if I remember I'll go back to it. So, um I do apologize. But the characters, you know, they rendevous at the hotel. I think it's kind of smart and you know, I like how resourceful Retri is, how they're going up the elevator and he's looking um out the elevator down the halls trying to find a room that's being fixed up for the next guest and he's like, "hm, let me just give this person a hundred extra dollars." you know, we going, you know, and we go in here and where we can kind of relax a little bit, breathe, and look and see what's on this on this drive. I like that. I thought that was pretty cool. But we get the reveal. We get what the drive has on it is one file, and it's of the congressman and Adrien Putra and some other random soldier. Rich is like, I don't even know what I'm looking at. They also found the phone. It wasn't just the drive. It was the phone. They're able to charge it and they're able to see the torture videos. Lamont, what was going through your head when all this was being exposed, sir? >> I was like, man, these endo black widows, man. These these hoes don't play. Like, like, bro, fearful, scary, >> very scary. These are some very, very scary adversaries. But then it makes you want to know who's their boss, >> right? If if Day is this vicious, who's their boss? And I want to shout out Allan Richardson for his chase scenes and squeezing his big butt through the the trash dumpster thing. I'm like, bro, ain't no way you about to get 600, 6'4, 255 and 3/4 pounds down that shootute >> and you somehow another got it down there. But the police should have got him then be Avery. like they they they should have had some if this is the hood, the police is all around the dumpsters. We're not getting our asses out no garbage shoe. I can just tell you that right now. He made it out. But that video, man, it was gruesome. And like they showed the girl in her underwear getting sliced up. They showed um Ben sitting there all messed up in the head and scared. And it it was just it's some stuff, man. And I I just want to know I have questions about the congressman. I mean the guy running for governor in North Carolina and what is his real involvement because he's obviously he's not telling the whole truth. >> Yeah. NDA. But what do you think the picture meant though? Like I mean we see how vicious and evil that Amisha and Leila are to get this job. There's only one file on it. It's a picture. What do you think the picture means? Maybe they have some relationship with the with the guy with one with one of those soldiers. Um maybe one of those soldiers in that picture done something dastardly to the family. Maybe the scientist um you know might have said that there's no issues in Indonesia with malaria, so we're going to kill funding to it and that took out somebody family member. It's got to be something to that effect for these people to want it. And you got to think that if you've got that picture and that phone, it's going to take down those two black widows. So, you know, I'm thinking in terms of if I got these two black widows, they've got to be connected to somebody in that picture. And that picture has got to be able to take down not just them, but a whole crime syndicate. So, somebody in that picture is crooked as f. And I do believe that our guy running for governor knows all about it. >> Yeah, it's three people in there. Um I want to trust him, but you know, we we'll just have to see. Who do you trust more? Um the congressman or or um or Jacob? >> Man, you ask me these crazy hard questions, man. >> Yes. Yes. Hard questions. Golly, this this one's hard, man. This was I trust If I'm going to pick which one I trust more, I'm saying I'm going with Jacob more than someone who's getting paid to lie for a living. I would trust Jacob a little more. >> Okay. Okay. Right on. Right on. Y'all, who do y'all trust more? I I think I trust Jacob more myself. Um, but like you said, this was another great chase scene. We got Tamara and Reacher running. Uh, this time they repel down from the building. She's on the glass, you know. It's funny that she was like, "Fing all I'm not going to repel down." He's like, "Just wrap your legs around me. Everything will be okay." And she ends up falling through the ceiling, you know. But they they end up escaping. They go on the bus. I can't get mad at that lady for snitching, you know. I would have been scared, too. I probably would have just been minding my business, you know. I don't know how you we all will um react different. But we get to the end of the episode, Lamont. We get to the end of the chase and they're in the warehouse and it looks like Reacher and Tamara have the jump on Ila. But no, Amisha comes around the corner and she has the curved knife around Jacob's neck. And here I am again. So I'm like, "Damn it, son. You didn't listen. You're getting caught up again. First you had the stupid ass plan on the bridge when all you had to do is chill and wait for the cops. And now you're getting caught up and they using you for leverage." Is Jacob, And that's how the episode ends. Is Jacob going to live or is he going to die? And we know these are killers. Lamont, what you think? >> He can't die because he's he's in bed with them. Man, that was See, I've watched too much TV and when I see stuff like this, the way they caught him and some of his stupid behaviors, that always, you know, kind of hearkens to me that that person is in cahoots with whoever the antagonist is. So, I believe Jacob wanted to get caught. I believe he's somehow another in cahoots with these Indonesian black widows. And no, he's not going to die. I do not believe he's going to die. I can't wait to see how they get out of this, but I do not believe he's going to die. >> Okay. I don't think he's going to die either. I wonder how he's going to get out of it. It would be very interesting. I don't I didn't see how Reacher was going to get out of the beginning of this episode when he was in the hotel room and all the cops were surrounding him. He just end up throwing a a a lamp at one of them and and brum rushing the other two and ran down the hallway. entertaining. You know, he's getting away on the skin of his teeth, but um you know, I'm still enjoying myself. Um are those your final thoughts, sir? >> Those are my final thoughts, my brother. >> All right. All right. Well, I do appreciate that. I do appreciate that. Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we want to thank you so much for tuning in to our Reacher season 4 episode 5 recap titled Bridge.
