Ben Lindbergh

He wants to kill people.

He killed plenty of people to make himself safe or the vault or Lucy or ensure the survival of the way of life that he wants to bring about.

But just as he is saying it, that's when the scissors are suddenly at his throat.

I did enjoy that he says, you know, for a second there, I thought the wasteland had changed you.

Although he doesn't say wasteland, he says wasteland, which I kind of enjoyed the way that he pronounces wasteland.

No one else really seems to say it that way.

But, you know, we've we've wondered how much the wasteland has changed her all season two.

And as you're saying, not as much as you might suspect.

But then he handcuffs himself again.

explains I did what I did to protect you but maybe it came at too high a price he says it's time to take responsibility and it's again like Barb's rationale right it's all to protect Janie it's all I the ghoul has to betray Lucy to protect his family and Hank is saying the same thing essentially that

He just had to destroy Shady Sands because it was for Lucy's good.

You know, that's just the rationalization for anything and everything fucked up families in this world.

And you got to draw the line somewhere, right?

So he thinks that when she sees his handiwork, that she will come around.

I think you'll call what I've been doing redemptive.

She says, you mean brainwashing those people?

I wouldn't call it brainwashing.

It's a very sophisticated process.

So yeah, this absolutely is where the pluribus came in.

And Hank gives her the tour on their way out, introduces Lucy to the group and all of the reformed former murderers and brigands here.
