Photons go where you send them, just like a beam of lased light. The "entangled pair" are not physically linked to each other, but their fate is bound up so they must somehow always reflect each others' states. This kind of "instant information" looks like FTL transportation of actual objects but it is not. However it does imply an information system that could be instant or nerar-instant. Unlike the slow ones of today which take nanoseconds or milliseconds to transfer information.
