The Connection

Okay, go for it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Holy shit.

That actually worked.

Puller to Dispatch.

Go ahead, Puller.

Hey, I'm out at the Mathew's place.

I thought I was backing up Gallagher.

He got held up on by the train on CR1.

He's en route, should be there soon.

Oh, great.

I thought there was some kind of noise complaint out here.

The neighbors reported yelling.

Yeah, well, damn, it's quiet as hell now.

All right, 10-4. I'm gonna check it out.

Copy.

Sheriff's department!

Ma'am, are you all right?!

Have you seen my knife?

Ma'am, I'm gonna need you to drop that knife.

Sir.

Sir, I'm gonna need you to get up.

Sir!

Puller to Dispatch.

Copy, Puller.

Hey, I'm gonna need an ambulance out here

at the Mathew's place, pronto.

Shots fired, one unconscious,

male, maybe mid-20s.

And where in the hell's my backup?!

Copy, Puller.

Backup is on the way.

Ambulance is en route.

Copy that.

What in the hell?

Oh, way to go, Gallagher!

How am I gonna question him now?!

You're welcome.

Ah, shit.

What the fuck, Vera?

What?!

You shouldn't have stopped me.

Are you kidding me? You were gonna kill him.

So what if I did?

Seriously?!

We have these powers.

Why don't we use them for some good?

Killing people isn't good, Vera!

Who says?

Did you ever think that maybe some people deserve it,

maybe that's why we got these powers?

Vera, listen to yourself.

I mean, Jesus Christ, we are not superheroes!

Look...

I got to to take this, Vera.

Fucking course.

Hello?

Look, I know that you're there.

Look, I'm not sure how, but I know you're in there

and I just want to talk to you.

How'd you find me?

I'm not sure, I just...

Look, can you just open the door, please?

I can't believe it's actually you.

I thought I was going crazy.

How'd you find me?

I don't know, I just-

You just knew I was here?

Exactly, but I kinda got the feeling

you knew I was coming.

Right?

I might have thought you were coming.

Exactly, it was kinda like

you just felt where I was, right?

I mean, me too.

It's crazy and I thought I was going nuts,

but, like, every single time I tried,

I just kinda knew where to find you.

You felt the same thing too, right?

Like, you felt me coming here?

Look...

This is crazy.

Look, no, I know.

And look, no judgment from me, I have to know if I'm right.

I'm going crazy here. I need to know.

You felt me coming here, right?

Yeah.

I just sort of knew where you were.

It's like I could feel where you were,

or more a general direction you were in.

Exactly, but, like, how does that even work?

And what was that thing last night?

I don't know.

How much do you remember?

Not a lot.

Let's see, I remember driving and then that light,

and it sorta called to me, you know?

And then I remember you and we kinda walked towards it,

and then it kinda blew up

or it was more like it pushed me away.

And then the next thing I know,

I woke up and it was this morning.

Right.

What time did you wake up?

I don't know. My cellphone was dead.

Mine too.

But when I woke up, you weren't there.

No one was there.

Well, I mean, I was only, like,

10 feet from whatever it was.

I mean, you would have had to have seen me.

No, I was right where it was too.

I mean, I looked around for you or anyone,

but I swear you weren't there.

I mean, I didn't just disappear.

There's something else.

Good lord.

Could you get me a bigger evidence bag?

You get that evidence down to holding yet?

I just got it.

I'm gonna go over it first.

That means I don't have to do it.

I'm heading home.

Let me know what you find, tomorrow.

Yeah, right.

Go for it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

How the hell did you do that?

I don't know.

So, okay, this other person I tried,

I mean, I just concentrate on them and they passed out.

You're sure she's not dead?

Um.

Um, I don't think so.

I mean, the first person I did that to,

they passed out and just woke up a few minutes later.

How is that even possible?

I mean, like, how does that even work?

You should try.

I should try what?

Wait, you mean putting someone to sleep by staring at them?

Yeah, I can't do that.

How do you know?

Look, I didn't know I could do it until I did it.

And we both had the same thing happen to us.

You should try.

There is no way that I can do that.

Okay, fine.

Try it on him.

Vera, I can't do that.

Okay, if it works for me and not for you,

then at least we know a little more, right?

I guess, yeah.

Okay.

So get up.

All right.

So just look at him and concentrate on him.

"Concentrate on him." Okay.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be working.

Okay, okay.

So take a deep breath

and give it a second.

Really, really concentrate on him.

Kind of like you're wondering what he's thinking.

Okay.

Jesus Christ.

That worked.

Okay, so what does this mean?

I mean, has to be something changed done to us

by whatever that thing was, right?

I don't know.

Maybe we're dreaming.

You know, like in a coma or something?

I mean, I don't feel like I'm in a coma.

It's more likely that thing was, like, radioactive

and gave us brain cancer or something.

Look, I can't be sure of that.

Well, maybe we should see a doctor?

Oh, no, now that's a bad idea.

Have you ever seen a movie before?

Look, if they find out what we can do,

we're gonna be on some table being dissected

or something and...

Look, we don't even know what we can do yet,

so let's just not tell anybody anything yet, okay?

You're right.

Look, we do need to do some

more tests though, but carefully.

What kind of tests?

Okay, get up.

Stand up.

Do it to me.

Do what exactly?

The thing. Try to put me to sleep.

Are you sure?

Look, we need to know if it affects each other, right?
