Entanglement Page #2

Synopsis: While searching for the meaning of his existence, Ben Layton uncovers a family secret that leads him to a woman named Hanna... who might have almost been his adopted sister. But when he and Hanna inadvertently fall in love, and his life becomes increasingly and weirdly complicated, Ben starts to realize that everything is incredibly connected - and that the world might just be more inexplicable than he ever imagined.

Okay, then what happened?

Well... found out I was up

the duff on the same day

they brought the baby.

You can't adopt if you've

got one in the oven.

So... if you'd got the baby home

a little bit sooner or found out

you were pregnant a

little bit later...

You would have had a sister.

Even had a name

picked out for her.

Would've called her

Wendy, after my mother.

Wait... I thought this

was a picture of me.

Okay, uh... so, uh...

what happened to the baby?

Beats me, probably shipped her

off to some other family.

So, she's really out there...

with this whole different life.

She doesn't even know about me,

she doesn't even really

know about herself!

Benny?

What's this all about?

I could've almost had a sister,

do you know how

formative that is?

I'm going to find this girl

and I'm going to see

what she's like,

I've got to know what

I've been missing.

But... I don't know,

it's never a good

idea to mess around

in someone else's past.

Well... good thing for someone

else, this is my past

and I'm going to mess

around with it just fine.

And also, you should call Dad,

he almost died this morning.

Again?

Tabby?

Hey, is uh, is Tabby here?

Tabby?

That guy is here, the

one that looks like

a sad cartoon carrot.

Uh... That doesn't

even make any sense.

Uh, yeah... Tabby look, look...

my whole life is a lie.

I'm sure that's not the case.

It is.

My parent's were going

to adopt, but didn't.

I almost had a sister!

I need you to help me.

Okay, but I'm at work right now.

Yeah, we're going to leave here.

Okay, we're going to go break

into an adoption agency

and we're going to

steal a bunch of files

and figure out who this girl is

and see if she can fix my life.

What the f***?

We are not breaking

the law, Ben!

Ow, why are you hitting me?

Because you're being an idiot.

This here, is not

rational behavior.

No, no, no, it's very rational.

Okay?

This is the only

thing that's left.

This is the thing.

I find her, right...

and then I can figure out

where my life went wrong...

and hopefully

correct everything.

And what if you don't

like the answer?

Then at least I tried.

At least I tried.

Tabby, I am running

out of options here.

Okay.

Fine, uh... if this

is what you need

then I guess I can

help a little.

This is what I need.

But we are not breaking the law.

Okay.

And we're not stealing anything.

Sure.

And you have to promise me

that things are not

going to get weird.

You know I can't

promise you that.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah... it's already weird.

This all makes sense.

My parents were married for like...

seven years before me.

They probably thought

they'd never have a kid.
