Here is everything you need to learn about the epic climax battle between Reacher and Paulie.

How does Jack Reacher vs. Paulie in Season 3’s finale end?

In Episode 8 of Season 3, titled “Unfinished Business,” Reacher and his group are positioned at an import site, anticipating Quinn’s illicit business to take place there. But things change when Reacher gets a call from Francis Neagley, who has been following a truck loaded with illegal items. It turns out that the real transaction is transpiring at Beck’s residence instead, which means their initial plan sets them up for danger.

In a surprise attack by Quinn’s group, disorder breaks out as Reacher and his companions are caught off guard. Bullets fly everywhere, and with quick thinking, Reacher manages to escape along with his comrades. Seizing the truck, they set course for Beck’s estate, aiming to shift the tide of events in their favor. Yet, before they could make a move, Paulie intercepted them. As the rest of the team storms inside the house, Reacher confronts Paulie in a gripping one-on-one combat.

In a barn, the fierce struggle between Reacher and Paulie is intense and unyielding. Paulie manages to trap Reacher under towering stacks of hay bales, almost suffocating him. Yet, Reacher manages to break free from this grasp, causing their confrontation to shift towards the waters close to Beck’s estate. Here, they both try to drown each other, but in their struggle, Paulie accidentally swallows water and sinks to the ocean bottom.

After assuming the fight was done, Reacher steps out of the water and makes his way towards the house. Just as he looks over his shoulder, he sees Paulie standing smack in the middle of the road. The conflict reignites, leading to a startling scene where Paulie grabs a rifle intending to shoot Reacher. Yet, fortunately for Reacher, he had earlier obstructed the gun’s barrel. Consequently, the bullet fails to fire properly, instead exiting the back of the gun and fatally hitting Paulie in the head.

In the final episode of Season 3, it was Paulie who met his match with Reacher emerging victorious, signifying the conclusion of one of his most challenging fights.
