Picard is a crooked FBI Special Agent and is friends with Captain Finlay who is unaware of his betrayal.
Picard is secretly working with the Kliners counterfeiting scheme and kidnaps Charlene Hubble and her two kids, and then later, Officer Roscoe. He delivers them to Mr. Kliner's warehouse where he makes the adults work continuously loading $1 bills into boxes.
Picard claims to have warned Finlay many times to keep away from Margrave, but gave him no choice after he insisted.
Picard is ordered to accompany Reacher in a search for Paul Hubble, but Reacher escapes and shoots him, leaving him for dead. However, he shows up very much alive during a rescue operation that Reacher and Finlay are conducting. Reacher fights him after shooting him in the shoulder and is sent towards the flames. Finlay then shoots him multiple times before running out of bullets. Reacher grabs his gun and delivers the last fatal shot, killing him for good.
Appearance[]
Reacher describes Agent Picard as being a giant.
“”There was a neat blue sedan next to the Bentley and a gigantic black guy standing back from the doorstep. He was as tall as me, maybe even taller, but he must have outweighed me by at least a hundred pounds. Must have been three ten, three twenty. Next to him, I was a featherweight. He stepped forward with the easy elastic grace of an athlete.
TV Series Appearance[]
