A nervous young girl with a shaved head wearing a hospital gown wanders into a local diner. The owner, Benny, learns from a tattoo on her arm that her name is Eleven. Brenner monitors the phone lines and sends agents to the diner after Benny calls social services. The agents kill Benny, however Eleven manages to escape using telekinetic abilities.
