Aidan: Where were you last night, Jesse?

Jesse Powell (Lucas Bryant) Cracked 1x12 Old Soldiers (2013) 11/18

You go over to some godforsaken place, they don’t even want ya. Can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys, everybody maybe gonna put a bullet in your back. For what? So you can come home and realize no one gives a shit? No one has a damn clue what we’re fighting for. People looking at you like your crazy, like there’s something wrong with you, ‘cause... there is.

Aidan Black: Pete needs you Jesse. Alright? You know that. So why don’t you just tell us where he is. 

Jesse: *whispers* I’ll take you to him.

Aidan: Why don’t you just give us the address?

Jesse Powell (Lucas Bryant) Cracked 1x12 Old Soldiers (2013) 10/18

Jesse Powell: Pete was a good guy. Like ice. Couldn’t rattle him. Guy was build for the bomb squad duty. We were clearing out a town, Taliban had come in, blown up a school. Punishment for letting girls attend. Anyway. Left a bunch of sniper nests, IEDs everywhere. Siren’s going off the whole time. We’re moving house to house. Slow and methodolical[sp], let the bomb squad clear IED [--]. We get a message, start working down this one street, we’ve cleared the sniper’s out, but that’s not right. Guy next to me takes one and Pete and I is calling in for support, we both know it’s not gonna make it in time and so we ran. Missed a tripped wire.[---] little pieces of fishing line, you can barely see. Pete took it full on. Suit on, so all he lost is his hand. 

Leo Beckett: That’s not all he lost, huh?

Jesse powell: Pete and I were in Kandahar. Lots of guys were.

Aidan Black: Have you seen him since you came back?

Jesse: Time to time.

Leo Beckett: You tell him about Hemlock Jewels?

Jesse: No. I don’t know, maybe. I don’t remember. OK? I was drunk.

Aidan: You said you always remember, if you’re awake.

Jesse: OK, so, what if I did? It’s not a crime to talk about your work.

Leo: It is, if you’re planning a robbery.
