The Tomorrow People · Season 1, Episode 1

Stephen, John Young and others in “Pilot”

Stephen

Okay, okay, wait wait wait, wait. Where are we? How-... Who are you?

John Young

You're in an abandoned subway station 100 feet below the streets of Manhattan. You teleported here. Actually... I teleported you.

Cara

We're called Tomorrow People. And we didn't choose the name, I swear.

Stephen

[laughing, seeing the others] This isn't happening. It's just another one of my crazy dreams.

Cara

[telepathically] It's not a dream, Stephen.

Stephen

How did you do that?

Cara

You've heard of telepathy? It's another one of our powers.

John

The three Ts, the third being telekinesis.

[Stephen nods humorfully]

Cara

[to John] He doesn't believe us.

John

It's funny, the teleporting usually sells it.

Stephen

No offense, but any second I'm gonna wake up someplace awful. Maybe another three-way at the neighbors' place.

[John smiles at the thought]

Cara

You don't understand, Stephen. You're one of us. You're breaking out.

John

You're waking up in weird places, Stephen? You're not sleepwalking. You're teleporting. You hear Cara's voice in your head, that's telepathy. Your latent powers are starting to appear. Soon, you'll be able to do this.

[Stephen begins levitating off the floor with no effort whatsoever evident on John's face]

Stephen

Okay, oka- okay! Okay! Put me down! Put me down!

John

You got it.

[Stephen falls into a crouching position. One of the others laughs]

Stephen

No, no, I'm having a psychotic break. My meds are off or something.

John

No, no, no more pills. They're obviously addling your brain.

Cara

What he means... is the drugs are just going to get in your way.

Stephen

Get in my way? You have no idea what my year has been like.

Cara

[with a hurt expression] Stephen, I know exactly what it's been like. I know how alone you've felt, how scared. You feel like you're turning into a different person, like your mind isn't your own. All those hours on your therapist's couch? I was there with you, Stephen. When we're connected, I feel what it's like to be you.

Stephen

That sounds, um, awful.
