Person of Interest2011

John Reese:
What exactly was your plan? You were accused of being a drug dealer, so then you decided to become one?

Jordan Hester:
No one would believe me. And I was always a bit of an introvert, you know, a private person.

John Reese:
Yeah, I know the type.

Jordan Hester:
I never thought that I would be punished for it. My old boss, police. People hear you're a drug dealer, they stop listening to you. And have you ever hit rock bottom? I never realized how far down I could go. After a while, I figured, if people keep thinking I'm this bad guy, why do I keep trying to convince them that I'm not?

John Reese:
Someone stole your identity, so you decided to steal theirs.

Jordan Hester:
Well, yeah, but only long enough to destroy this lab. That's nitric acid, not saffro. It'll melt all of this into mush, destroy this equipment. And then I was going to use the rest of this supply, about a half million dollars worth, to lure this bastard into the open.

John Reese:
Then, what? Kill him?

Jordan Hester:
I don't wanna kill anybody. I just want my identity back.

John Reese:
Okay. It's a terrible plan. But, I like it, so let's do it.
