The agent still lets the protagonist through.

However, author Lee Child admitted that the insurmountable difficulty was organizing a large snow-covered space in South Dakota. When the studio read the novel "Never Go Back" (2013), they decided to focus on this book because, according to Lee Child, "Samantha (played by Danika Yarosh) fits organically alongside Jack and Susan, the film's main characters."
