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 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.
