[Reyes enteres a hospital room where a paralyzed Doggett has just concluded an examination to test if he has any feeling]
(typing computer text in a device with his usable finger) 1st time I ever hoped for a little prick
(Reyes smirks slightly) ..You kiss you mother with that mouth?
(typing) Hows case?
It's coming along.. It's nowhere, basically. There's so much that's impossible to reconcile. You say I was on a stakeout with you - I say you were at my apartment bringing me... John.. do you know a little stand on M Street, supposed to be really good hot dogs?
(typing) Polish Sausage Best in city
..John, what if we were both right? What if you were at my apartment - And I was on a stakeout with you at the exact same time? What would it take for that to be true?
(typing) We both had twins Which we dont
Except maybe we do - Maybe all of us do. (leans in closer to Doggett) ..You've heard of the idea of a parallel universe - One that's identical, or nearly identical to our own. One in which we all have a double. It's theoretical physics, but.. what if it's real?
(typing) Too much Star Trek
You said yourself, Erwin Lukesh was known for his impossible escapes. You said that in the alley, you looked away only for an instant, and he was gone. And then somehow he was behind you, and he shot you. With my gun - my gun that never left my possession that entire afternoon. What if Lukesh can pass freely from one parallel world to the other? Like.. like he's opening a door. And what if somehow you followed him through that door, without even knowing it? Maybe when you followed Lukesh into this world, my.. my Doggett got forced out.
(typing) Wow
My Doggett would have called that crazy, too - But give me another theory that fits.
