[The sad part of that is that, when Jack spoke about her, he'd definitely sounded convinced that they were family. That there had been problems, but he kept things given to him from her close.]
I don't think it was a lie but I still don't think it's great for her.
You know, when I was a cop, um... In homicide, we'd get called to a lot of houses that our domestic violence unit had visited a shitload? And we'd open up these files that were thick as fuck, where neighbors would call the cops because of things they heard or the woman had called or the kid had called or something. And by the time cops got there the first time everything was always, 'Yeah, we made up. Everything's great. It was just an argument.'
So I don't doubt he meant it. Just uh... sometimes that really doesn't work out when you haven't dealt with your other issues and it sounds like he's got a whole planet worth he's still dealing with. And I gotta imagine she's still got a way to go on her own. Of course, shit like those old cases doesn't happen here. One of the few things about this place I'd never fucking trade for anything.
[He wants his bullshit imaginary land places to be free of that crap, thanks.]

[He listens closely as Hank speaks, because a lot of information is being volunteered without any real prompting at all. He probably won't remember everything, but "homicide cop" will likely stick, as that seems most directly relevant to who Hank is as a person.
He snorts derisively when Hank says "I don't doubt he meant it", but lets him finish without further interruption.]
He'll say whatever it takes to make him look good. Don't let him stab you in the back, Gramps.
[It's because Hank is so magnificently out of his element with the idea of a guy doing scientific experiments on his daughter and replacing her blood and doing all sorts of nutty things that this is all he has to compare it to. Domestic violence on his homely, mundane shithole (save for the exemplary android or two).]
[But homicide cop, and narcotics cop, and generally cop were pretty much the very definition of who he was when he was being his best self.]
Not planning to. A control freak with feelings is just a motivated control freak. So. Sorry for her and you both.
[He's pretty sure that friendship has sailed. He'll talk to him, but already it doesn't bode well.]
It's okay! He can't hurt her here and he's dead on Pandora.
[He'd be sorry about Hank's recently budding and now deceased friendship, but for all the questions the man has asked Krieg hasn't actually pegged that said friendship was even a thing, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯]
