Reacher
Warning : spoiler ahead for Reacher time of year 2 , episode 7 .
Summary
The very first character death inReacherseason 2 looks even more tragical after instalment 7 ’s flashback unveil a antecedently unknown detail about the 110th ’s group photo . Based on Lee Child’sBad Luck & Trouble , Reacherseason 2 has reunited Alan Ritchson ’s two - legged goliath with his oldSpecial Investigator pals from the 110th , and a linear theme of the sophomore time of year has been the group photograph taken on their first night together . instalment 1 ’s flashback show the campfire duck soup being taken , before the same pic resurface in the present tense in Franz ’s office , Swan ’s house , and Orozco ’s residence . Reacher , apparently , is the only Special Investigator without a written matter .
Reacherseason 2 , episode 7 , " The Man Goes Through , " continues the picture subplot . In a flashback set on the 110th ’s final day as a unit of measurement , Calvin Franz hands out printed copies of the ikon to each of his fellow worker as a surprisal parting natural endowment . This explains how each lineament issue forth into possession of the photograph , and why all of them except Reacher have it framed in the present day . While this may seem like a minor contingent , it really bring out a full of life aspect of the Special Investigators ' moral force - one that makesReacherseason 2 ’s first significant persona demise retrospectively sorry .
Prime Video ’s Reacher returned for a third time of year , and the explosive activity serial delivered another exciting adventure from Lee Child ’s Christian Bible .
Franz Being Responsible For The 110th Photos Proves He Was The Team’s Heart
Calvin Franz making certain each Special Investigator had a commemorating photo highlights how he was both the unit ’s emotional heart and its innocent someone . This has been unmistakable throughoutReacherseason 2 . Franz was the unquiet rookieReacherencountered first on day one . Franz figured out Reacher orchestrated the bar bash that forced the 110th to work together for the first time . After disbanding , Franz then teach his own Word the " you do not mess with the Special Investigators " slogan . Franz was the most emotionally in - air phallus of the team , and the most open about his admiration , even styling his hairsbreadth to count like Reacher ’s .
As such , it ’s fitting that the reason every Special Investigator - with a house , at least - keeps a photograph of their one-time team is because Calvin Franz had the thoughtful whimsy of print copy to share around on their last day together . This makes the fact Franz was theReacherseason 2 cast ’s first major victim even more disconcerting . By killing Franz , the bad guy wire ripped out the heart of the Special Investigators . Even worse , Franz ’s faith in his fellow 110th recruit was so strong , he pass up to let the group divulge up without everyone getting a forcible monitor of their meter together . Despite this , the Special Investigators were unable to return Franz by protecting him from harm .
Why Reacher Didn’t Keep His 110th Photo
After finding the framed photo among Orozco ’s possessions earlier in season 2 , Reacher realized he was the only Special Investigator without a copy . The flashback in episode 7 , however , explicitly confirm Franz had one print out for his boss , as Reacher is visibly seen holding a photo from the bundle . He puts it down to help Dixon with something , but then , presumptively , never pick the photograph back up , leaving it behind forever . Again , this item twists the tongue of Franz ’s demise , particularly from Reacher ’s own view . The photo was the final gift Calvin Franz ever gave Reacher- one last turn of kindness before going their separate way .
Rather than accepting the gesture and prevent the pic - wrapping it around his toothbrush , perhaps -Reacherrefused to take the souvenir because it did n’t align with his minimalist life-style . Now Franz is all in , Reacher is perhaps regretting the fact he did n’t accept that kind token of Franz ’s love for the hundred-and-tenth - something time of year 2 already hinted at when Reacher sound off about being the only Special Investigator without one . Perhaps Reacher ’s retaliation missionary work against New Age and Langston is part fueled by the realisation that he did n’t do enough for Calvin Franz while he was live .
Reacherseason 2 concludes Friday on Prime Video .
