Synopsis for "Just Let Me Die"
Frustrated with his drab life, Theo tries to drown himself. However, he lands on the unconscious Longshot, who reanimates and heals rather quickly. Sensing Theo’s deathwish, Longshot tries to convince him that life is worth living. When he learns that Theo feels ripped off by Con Ed, who has recently gotten some experimental diamonds, Longshot decides they will steal the gems back. They sneak onto the grounds of Con Ed, unaware that they are followed by Longshot’s demon hunters, who confront them in the building. They take Longshot prisoner and use the gems to return to their home dimension, leaving Longshot with his questions. Theo, in the meantime, has been kept safe by Pup, who cannot decide between seeking Longshot’s friendship and hating him. Angrily, he runs away. Outside, the two men learn they have caused a blackout in Manhattan. Theo wants nothing more to do with Longshot, who decides he’ll give the diamonds to the people who suffered in the blackout.
