Banshee · Season 1, Episode 15

Brock and Kurt in “Unfinished Business”

You want to tell me what the hell happened out there today?

[Clears throat] A lot of those guys are angry that I'm back. They feel betrayed.

Yeah. Yeah, I got that. No, I meant the part where you grabbed a civilian and started strangling him in front of a diner full of witnesses.

Sorry about that.

You're sorry? Fսck sorry, okay? I don't like those guys any more than you do, but if you're gonna wear that badge...

I am guys like that! Every evil, twisted thought that he has had, I have had. Every fucked-up thing that he's done, I have done. I've done things that would make you sick. They make me sick.

You think you're the only one around here that's got dirt on him? I've done some... things. Fսck, Bunker, I... I don't know you, okay? But from what I've seen, you're not the man you used to be.

[Opens shirt to reveal swastika tattoo] I will always be that man. Putting on this uniform does not wipe my slate clean. I'm doing everything I can to change. And every once in a while... I manage to convince myself that I'm a better person. But the minute that I come into contact with one of those fսcking guys and see the way that they look at me, all I feel is hate and anger and I can't shake it.

Okay, all right. Listen to me. Listen, listen. Hold it. Look at me. Okay, that isn't anger that you're feeling. That's the shame and the guilt. And trust me, we all feel that. All of us. And that is what makes you better than them. If you didn't feel that, that's when I'd start to worry, all right? You hear me? Okay. Now, look, can you promise me that what happened out there today is never gonna happen again?

I don't know.

Good answer. 'Cause if you had said yes, I knew you were full of shit. [Chuckles] Go home, all right? Get some sleep.

Thank you, sir.

Yep.
