Unforgettable (TV Series)

Blind Alleys (2012)

Boris McGiver: Lt. Lewis Martin

Quotes 

• Mike Costello : I just talked to the military liaison, and this is all apparently totally out of character for Mr. Jacobs. He nearly died pulling two Marines out of a burning APC in Fallujah, and last year, after he retired, he started an outreach program for burn victims.

  Al Burns : Okay, so we'll wait him out. Maybe his good sense will prevail.

  Lt. Lewis Martin : Not in my experience.

  Carrie Wells : What is your experience?

  Lt. Lewis Martin : Guy's a Marine, a man of action. He's not trained to wait things out. It's in their blood; they act. Our job is to act first.

  Carrie Wells : And how do the hostages fit into all of this?

  Lt. Lewis Martin : You look in that room, you see your colleagues, your friends in jeopardy, but your concern is not gonna get them out of there any sooner. And believe me, it might help get them dead. You want your friends back? Let me do my job.

• Lt. Lewis Martin : Clay, you listening? Here's a chance for you to show some good faith and let the injured man go. In return, I can turn the power back on and give you food and water.

  Clay Jacobs : I don't want food and water. I want the man who killed my son.

  Carrie Wells : [Clay hangs up]  What next?

  Lt. Lewis Martin : If he doesn't let the injured man out, we go in and get him out.

  Carrie Wells : You call that a negotiation?

  Lt. Lewis Martin : He understands strength. Unless we re-establish a connection, we go in.
