In the aftermath of Angstrom’s attack, an aged Viltrumite envoy named Conquest arrives to survey Mark’s subjugation of Earth for the Viltrum Empire and is disappointed by his lack of progress.

Zachary offers Reacher a job if he plays Russian roulette, which he does. Reacher is working undercover for Susan Duffy, a DEA agent who recruited him to find a missing undercover agent, Teresa Daniels, in exchange for helping Reacher deal with a previous nemesis, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Xavier Quinn.

One of Zachary’s associates, Angel Doll, notices the bodyguard’s car but doesn’t see Duffy changed the license plate. Duke orders Reacher to take a truck to New London, Connecticut. Reacher calls Neagley to investigate the people he works with. Reacher meets with Duffy to check the trailer for drugs or Teresa’s body, but they only find carpets.
