Taxi?

- Morning, Nicky.

- How you doin'?

Every little thing matters.

A drop of water.

A dead bug.

A plane flies overhead at 11:15.

It's all part of some kind of pattern.

- Can I help you with that?

- Thank you.

Step back!

Ga 554, taxi, papa, November, Alpha.

I think I'm losing it.

They're shrinks. They're paid

to think you're losing it.

Yeah, things are happening to me, inky.

Things that cannot possibly be explained.

What can I do?

I don't know.

Nothing.

Call me, yeah?

Yeah.

We'll do something on your birthday.

Only three days left, Dyl.

Make the most of 'em.

"9:
10. Drip. "

Not today.

Drip?

Really?

Drip!

Ahh...

Three, two...

What the f***?

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

I've missed you.

Hey, there you are.

Yep.

Alright, can I lead you over to...

You can tell me what you think.

Have you seen him?

- No, okay.

- He is on the move. Yep.

- Lovely to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're all here to experience the work

of one of our most exciting

contemporary artists -

Mr. Jonas Edman, with his latest

tribute to this great city.

Tonight I present you the opening of...

convergence.

Hi.

Hi.

Excuse me, ladies.

Sarah.

- Let's go.

- Hey.

- We're good to go.

- Let's do it.

Okay. Never again.

- Showtime.

- Come on.

Dylan, this is Jonas.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay.

Ready?

Three, two, one... go.

Nothing is as eternal as a city.

And you are my eternal love,

the city of all cities.

Pavemented, walled, lit, jeweled.

Crowded city of beauty.

Of shadows and geometric

shapes never ending.

Your windows reflect memories

none of us can keep.

Moments, they slip away,

a whisper in our sleep.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Your arms hold the sky,

reflecting in truth.

Where god and men meet

in our reverence to you.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

What?

What are you doing? Have

you been following me?

- What is this?

- Whoa, attention, bro.

How long have you been doing this?

- What is going on here, man?

- What are you doing?

- Dylan!

- Have you been following me?

What is this? What are you doing?

Jonas!

- Why would you do this?

- Get off me!

Hey, hey, hey! Let him go!

Let go of me! Get off of me!

What are you doing?

Stop.

Bravo. Bravo.

I love this, Jonas.

A nice morbid tale to button the exhibit.

I have another amazing

interpretation in my gallery,

you know.

What?

I love how you blended the

victims in so elegantly.

A moment before the murders.

It's really stunning.

What is he talking about?

I have no idea.

The photograph... Of the murder scene.

Come on, time to leave.

What is wrong with you?

What is that?

You know Jonas is the most important artist

in this exhibit.

Yes, and he's your ex-boyfriend.

How... how's this possible?

That hologram is the exact replica

of what I've been seeing.

This is crazy.

How is this possible?

How does he know?

You know, I can't actually have

this conversation right now.

Let yourself out.

- Sarah.

- Sarah.

Yeah, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what happened.

Dylan, this is Jonas.

The energetic force of the exploding Hamlin

will be at its greatest

in the next two days.

This is a very rare event...

The massive lifespan of the average star.

"Jake Redmond. "

Letters to this address.

"My dear Jake,

I just got your letter

and I can't stop grinning from ear to ear. "

Um, Sarah, it's Dylan. Um...

I'm so sorry about last night. I...

This thing with Jonas and the

hologram just really got to me.

Please call me, okay?

The next stop is grand central.

Grand central.

Thought you might drop by.

So there's the killer

with the gun in his hand.

He shot a woman and a police

detective in broad daylight

before he was gunned down by the cops.

A tourist from Cleveland took

the original photograph...

And the artist has taken that image and...

Created this piece.

Stay as long as you like.

"Multiple homicides at grand central.

"Criminal Jake Redmond. "

No, not it.

Here it is.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

"Jake Redmond.

Born April 18th 1956."

Who is it?

It's Dylan Branson.

We spoke over the phone.

I'll buzz you in.

Where did you get these?

In my apartment.

They were hidden.

And why did you come here?

I don't know.

I feel a connection to her.

You want to talk about connection?

She was my sister.

She was the kindest person.

She had a voice like an angel

and she sang at clubs all around town

and that's where she met Jake.

She thought he was...

Funny and clever and sweet.

Newspapers said he was

a convicted criminal.

He was never convicted.

The police had to say that to save face.

I still don't know what he was up to.

It was some kind of...

Insurance scams or racketeering,

something like that.

And everyone tried to warn her...

the police, her friends

and that poor detective who died with her.

- Noah marks.

- Yeah.

I think he was in love with her, too.

She had that effect on men.

She couldn't see it.

She believed that Jake was

the love of her life.

Did Jake love her the same way back?

Well, apparently enough to kill

her rather than let her go.

Is that was she was doing at grand central?

Was she leaving him?

Detective marks came to see Evie one night.

He told her things about

Jake that she never knew.

He was a violent man.

He'd killed a police informer.

She kept saying, "I don't believe it.

Jake would never hurt anyone. "

She said they were destined to be together.

Even had the same birthday.

He said Jake was a psycho,

that he was dangerous.

And detective marks said that...

He had a place,

somewhere up in, uh...

Millhurst.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Yeah. Millhurst.

This is what we found after she...

Take them.

I... I could never bear to read them.

This is all I need to remember her by.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Hey, Sarah,

I really need to talk to you.

These patterns, the things

I'm seeing, the hologram...

Us, everything - it's all connected.

Please, call me.

For over a week now,

he's ended up right here at grand central.

What made you do this?

It's grand central.

It's iconic New York.

I've been working on this

thing for eight months,

way before you met your... boyfriend.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Yeah, but the same people.

I mean, the... the businessman,

the couple hugging...

Hey, I've missed you.

The school children...

the pregnant woman.

He... he sees them. He sees...

The same people. He described all of them.

The same people?

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Well, not the exact same people but the...

I don't know, the same type of people.

He... he thinks it's a pattern.

Seriously?

A businessman in a train

station is a pattern?

I don't know.

You know what they call people

who see patterns in everything?

- Hi.

- Can I help you?

Yeah, um...

The Millhurst Express.

Bit of news for you.
