"We're not a threat." "We're salvation." "The world will have to deal with us." "Previously on "The 4400"..." "What?" "So Navarro was really some kind of mind reader?" "I believe "telepath" is the word you're looking for." "Just concentrate on what you wanna ask me, and I'll hear you." "He definitely knew what we were thinking." "I can think of a few practical applications for it." "You should've come to me first." "I'd have treated you better than they ever will." "We're at war here." "Don't pick the losing side." "There's a synthetic substance present in the blood of every 4400." "They can it promicin inhibitor." "NTAC's been studying the 4400 since they got back." " They should've known." " They do know." "I was ordered to work on a drug to suppress the production of promicin." "Once I synthesized the inhibitor, we gave it to every 4400." "But if it comes down to a choice between the safety of the American people and the welfare of the 4400, Tom, that's no choice at all." "Because if you're holding on to any hope of keeping this covered up, you're gonna have to start by putting me in the ground right here, right now." "Every male in this building has got a gallon of adrenaline coursing through his veins right now, and most of them are armed." "A 4400 nearly took down a fortified government facility, and walked away without breaking a sweat." "I wasn't pregnant when I was abducted, but I was when I got back." "You've seen what she's capable of, what she can do when she feels threatened." "You know Isabelle has connections between the right and left hemispheres of her brain that have never been seen before." "You are the stewards of the future." "Your daughter is the Rosetta stone for understanding what happened to the 4400." "Isabelle?" "Isabelle!" "Hello, Shawn." "I'm Isabelle." "The world has changed." "Everything is different now." "The Promicin Inhibitor Program was an international effort." "Its goal was to prevent the coming of a world dominated by a tiny fraction of the population." "In short, we were doing everything we could to prevent the 4400 from developing extra-human capabilities." "We believe that without the inhibitor program, these abilities would show up in virtually every one of the 4400." "I don't think I need to explain to this committee why that would be something less than the best-case scenario." "Overnight, normal human beings like you and I, and all the institutions we've come to rely on" "would be obsolete." "The program wasn't perfect." "People got sick." "Some died." "That was not our intent." "But now it's gone." "And the future that we were trying to prevent is here, and we are not ready." "I believe it comes down to a question of power." "Us or them?" "Because, believe me, it's going to come down to us against them." "Shawn, you're not making any sense." "Just tell me what's wrong with Isabelle." "I told you, I can't explain." "Is she sick?" "Is she hurt?" "You gotta see for yourself." "Dad." "Who the hell is this?" "Where's Isabelle?" "I am your daughter." "I'm Isabelle." " I don't get it." " It's not a joke." "Something happened." "I changed." "I don't know how." "She just walked in here." "She knew my name." "She seems to know about you and Lily..." "Stop." "I don't know what game you're playing here, and I don't care." "Richard." "Richard..." "Lily." "Lily." "Lily?" "Is Isabelle with you?" "Lily?" "Lil..." "Lily, are you all right?" "Oh, Richard." "I must've fainted." "Is Isabelle with you?" "Who are you?" "Where's my wife?" "Richard, what are you talking about?" "I'm Lily, your wife." "Why are you looking at me like...?" " Oh, my God." " Ma'am, I don't know who you are." "Oh, my God." "No!" "Your blood pressure is elevated." "But I suppose that's to be expected." "Heart, lungs, reflexes, all within the normal range." "Doctor, you call this normal?" "Richard, I wanna see Isabelle." "Where is my daughter?" "She's right outside." "I'll bring her in in a minute." "I realize how alarming this must be." "But at least you can take some solace in the fact that your wife is a perfectly healthy older woman." "If I had to guess, I'd say she's about 75." "I'm 29, and I don't understand." "Please, help me understand." "How could this happen?" "Maybe it's a reaction to being taken off the promicin inhibitor." "But truthfully, I don't know." "There is a condition called progeria." "It's associated with rapid aging." "So this kind of thing has happened before?" "Mr. Tyler, when your wife fainted this morning, she was a young woman." "When she woke up less than a minute later, she was 50 years older." "I can guarantee you, this is a first." "Excuse me." " Are you okay, Dr. Burkhoff?" " I'm fine." "Not enough sleep, that's all." "Research." "Well, what do we do now?" "Is there any way to reverse this?" "I wish I knew." "I need to do some thinking." "Are you my mother?" "Isabelle?" "Every day, the 4400 are changing and getting stronger." "Instead of mobilizing to meet this challenge, we're wringing our hands and trying to determine who knew what when." "I will save this committee the trouble and expense of a long investigation." "The inhibitor program was my idea." "I was proud to lead it." "The men on this board were simply following my orders." "If there's blame to be assigned, it's mine." "Mine alone." "Yeah, I know Kyle doesn't wanna see me." "Is there some way we can force him to?" "I'm his father." "I wanna know how he's doing." "Look, I realize you're trying, but it'll be months before he goes to trial, I'm not gonna wait that long." "Do you really think people are gonna let Ryland position himself as some kind of patriotic martyr?" "The man headed a conspiracy that caused 28 deaths." "He says it was accidental." "A significant percentage of this country believes him." "Try overwhelming." "You guys listen to talk radio lately?" "I mean, the calls are, like, 90 percent in his favor." "You can buy a "Free Dennis Ryland" T-shirt within a block of here." "Maybe they should put him up for the Nobel Peace Prize." "Just tell him I need to see him." "We don't have to talk about the case." "I just have to see my son." "Just ask him one more time, okay?" "And tell him we love him." "Give him some time, Thomas." "Kyle needs to live with his choice for a while." "We're back." "Tom, break's over." "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to call the proceedings to order." "Everyone, just take your seats so we can get started." "Members of the press, I was including you in that "ladies and gentlemen" designation, thank you." "Mr. Ryland, I'd like to pick up the questioning where we left off." "You insist that you alone gave the go-ahead for the Promicin Inhibitor Program, is that right, sir?" "Yes, sir." "It was my program all the way." "So this committee is to understand that your department was able to plan and implement an international conspiracy" "without some Cabinet-level approval?" "That's correct." "I was given a broad mandate in my duties as head of NTAC." "I felt that the project fell within that mandate." "So there was no need to seek outside approval..." " Excuse us, everybody." " Did you hear that?" "Well, yeah, the microphones went haywire." "No, not that." "Something else." "Just set that approval issue to the side for the moment." "Did you ever discuss the project with anyone outside of NTAC?" "I mean, someone, somewhere, must have taken an interest in what your people were doing over there." " Listen to me." " What?" "What's wrong?" " A simple question, Mr. Ryland." " What do you mean, "What's wrong"?" "Surely, it can't be that difficult to answer." "If I could have your attention up here, Mr. Ryland." "You need to relax, Miles." "Security!" "Stop that man!" "Get some protection on Ryland." "Stay here." "I'll be right back." "We need an ambulance!" "Someone call an ambulance!" "Stand back, please." "Back." "Back." "Hey!" "Stop!" "T.J.!" "Someone get these photographers out of here." "You stay with him." "I don't understand what I did." "Would somebody please tell me what I just did?" "Hang on, Dennis." "The ambulance is coming." "Yeah, it was her." "The blood we picked up at the scene matches the DNA in our records." "That was T.J. Kim running from the courthouse." "When she hit this place, T.J. drove every man in the building into a homicidal rage." "Now it sounds like she just zapped one guy." "She's learning to control what she can do." "They all are." "Ever since we took them off the inhibitor, they're either developing new abilities, or they're refining the ones that they've got." "So they are getting more dangerous." "I guess Ryland was right." "I'll be sure to mention that to my daughter." "Okay, save the point-counterpoint." "At the moment, we've been tasked with two jobs." "We track down T.J. Kim." "What's the second job?" "We are to protect Ryland's co-conspirators from any further reprisals." "So we arrest them, and now we're their bodyguards?" "Well, the entire country just saw a 4400 turn a government hearing into her own personal slasher film." "If T.J. gets to Ryland again, or any of them, before we can bring her in, people are gonna start to wonder if the United States government is capable of protecting its citizens." "And that's the beginning of chaos." "Back to work, please." "Tom." "In case you're wondering, Dennis is still in surgery." "They say that it is touch-and-go." "It's okay." "Give me your hands." "Try and relax." "Relax." "Is it better?" "Much better." "For now." "When this thing first me on, it was bad, but at least she was healthy." "Now she's had diabetes, emphysema." "Seems like every day, there's something new." "I'll come help her every day." "Listen, we got everyone working on this." "We're gonna figure it out." " Is my mother okay?" " Yeah." "She had a little problem." "Shawn fixed it." "It's all in the wrists." "Can I see her?" "Please?" "Mom?" "Isabelle." " Come here." " Is there anything I can do?" "I'm fine." "Really." "Sit down." "You were such a beautiful baby." "I used to hold you all daylong." "I knew exactly what you were feeling, what you wanted." "We were so close." "I'm sorry for growing up so fast." "I didn't mean to." "I didn't want to." "Neither did I." "Crazy thing is, I keep thinking about Patty, Ryland's wife." "I feel like I should call her or something, help her through this." "Maybe you should." "You and Ryland were friends for a long time." "It's okay to be conflicted." "Yeah, well, Ryland's little experiment almost got you killed." "Shawn too." "The guy knew that Kyle was stalking Jordan Collier and he did nothing." "I'd say that trumps friendship." "You have so much on your mind." "Kyle, Ryland, the 4400s." "I need to get you away from here, away from your problems." "Yeah, well, it sounds nice." "But I can't go anywhere." "I'm starting investigation in the morning." "What if I told you I could take you away between now and then?" "My ability." "Since I'm off the inhibitor, I think I can control it now." "What, you mean you wanna...?" "You wanna take me into another dream world?" "Alternate real...?" " I don't even know what to call it." " Call it a vacation." "A week." "A year." "As long as we want." "All that in the space of a few moments." "Should we try it?" "What, right here?" "Now?" " What do we do?" " We're already doing it." "There's no one on the beach." "It's all ours, Thomas, so is the hotel." "We can stay here for as long as we like." "There is no jet lag." "That sounds perfect." "It is perfect too." "The door's open." "Come in." "What?" "What is it?" " You're naked." " I'm more comfortable this way." "Haven't really gotten used to them." "Clothes." "I have a bathrobe." "Is this better?" "Almost." "Just..." "Never met anybody that read the encyclopedia" " from cover to cover before." " Oh, I'm not finished." "I just delivered those to you yesterday." "Okay, you're a fast reader." "That's really cool." "Listen, they're looking for you down in the labs." "You're like an hour late." "They sent you to get me?" " Aren't you in charge?" " Well, yeah, more or less." "You know, I go where I'm needed." "They were scared of me, weren't they?" " Pretty much." " That's all right." "I think my parents are frightened of me." "I don't think your mom and dad are scared of you." "I think they're just confused." "I don't blame them." "It's mostly how I feel too." "I don't understand what happened to me." "I don't understand what happened to my mother." "And I'm trying to read and learn things, but mostly, I just..." "I still feel lost." "See, now you sound like a real 4400." "But I'm not a 4400." "Not like my mother and father, or you." "Looks like I'm gonna live." "Sorry to disappoint you, Tom." "Why'd you ask to see me, Dennis?" "I hear that you and Skouris are in charge of the investigation." "Yeah." "We know who did it." "We'll find her." "T.J. Kim attacked this building six weeks ago." "No one's tracked her down yet?" "We got a little sidetracked cleaning up your mess, Dennis." "Did you ever think that maybe she has help?" "Other 4400s who feel the same way about the government she does?" "When we catch her, we'll ask." "Will you?" "I wanna make sure you're gonna take this thing as far as it goes, Tom." "The same way you did when you came after me." "And I want my people protected." "They were acting under my orders." "They're under guard." "So was the courthouse when Kim attacked." "I'd feel better if you brought them in." "We offered sanctuary to every single conspirator." "There were no takers." "I guess no one wanted to cooperate with the organization that was working to put you in prison." "We had to fight just to get them to let us post agents outside their houses." "Crocket, are you ready to go for a walk, boy?" "Come on, Crocket." "Let's go." "They wanted no part of us." "They all seemed confident that T.J. Kim was acting alone." "Crock?" "What's wrong?" "It's me." "This just arrived 15 minutes ago." "This is a message from the Nova Group." "We are the defensive wing of the 4400." "Today, the world has seen what happens to those who try to harm us." "A second demonstration of our capabilities is planned for October 19th." "A new era dawns." "Defensive wing, huh?" "What happens when they decide to play offense?" " I guess we find out in five days." " They didn't say what they want." "No demands." "No room for compromise." "We don't even know how many 4400s are in this Nova Group." "We couldn't handle one when she walked in here and attacked the place." "Now there's a whole team of assassins out there, all with abilities?" "They got someone who can kill you by lowering your body temperature." "Don't forget the beast master." "What?" "That dog got pissed off pretty quick." "I've been all over the files, and none of these abilities have been registered with us." "They're off the inhibitor now." "We can't even pretend to have a comprehensive list of what these people can do." "Is anyone else feeling a little overmatched here?" "You two remember Gary Navarro?" "Hey, Gary." "Been a while." "You're right, Baldwin." "I do think you two sold me out." "It really bothered me for a while, but now I understand it's just standard operating procedure." "Well, I guess that mind-reading thing's working pretty well, huh?" "Better than ever, actually." "Gary's telepathic abilities have been very useful to the National Security Agency." "They've agreed to let us borrow him while we investigate the Nova Group." "You're clear on what we're doing?" "You want to use a 4400 to track down other 4400s." " Do you have a problem with that?" " Not at all." "It won't be my first time." "So can we get started?" "Never heard of the Nova Group." "Not until this morning, anyway." "Now I gotta go on television in an hour and explain that the Center had nothing to do with this." "Shawn." "I know there's a lot of history between NTAC and this place." "But I trust you realize how serious this is." "Believe me, if I knew anything, I would tell you." "Well, do you mind if the three of us walk around the place," " talk to people?" " You and your pet mind reader'?" "No, I can't let you do that." "These people haven't done anything wrong." "I won't let you invade their privacy." "And I actually can't believe that you brought this guy here again." "How much do they pay you to spy on your own kind?" "Are you getting a clear signal?" "See anything you like up there?" "As far as I can tell, he's not hiding anything." "I have a lot of work to do." "If I hear anything, I'll give you a call." "For now, that's the best I can do." "Sorry about my nephew." " Why?" " He was kind of rude back there." "I get that kind of stuff a lot." "I don't take it personally." "You mind if I ask you...?" "You've sort of implied that you've pursued 4400s in the past." "What exactly do you do for the NSA?" " Overseas stuff, mostly." " But like what?" "Give me an example." "They fly me someplace." "I approach the subject, find out what he's thinking." "And I tell the people I work for, who then fly me home where I live comfortably." "What happens to the subject?" "I don't ask." "That's good." "The neural pathway comparisons are particularly illuminating." "Make sure you understand them before you move on." "Dr. Burkhoff, I don't understand any of this." "A bunch of her neurons don't work anymore." "Every time one of hers turns off, one of mine turns on." "Exactly." "And what's true for neurons is true for muscle fibers, synaptic pathways." "There is a one-to-one correspondence between the amount you lost and the amount you gained." "So all this is just a way of saying I'm doing this to her?" "The correlation is too precise to be random." "Your rapid aging has caused her rapid aging." "How do we stop it?" "Put me back the way I was?" " I'm afraid I can't." " So, what do we do about it?" "There is a possibility that if the aging agent were eliminated, that Lily might be restored to her normal self." " The aging agent?" " He means me." "I'm killing you." "The only way for you to live is for me to die." "Isn't that right?" "Don't answer that, Dr. Burkhoff." "Thank you for your time, but we're done here." "Where are you going?" "We're not discussing this." "Not now." "Not ever." " It's true, isn't it?" " I think so." "But it's only a theory." "Guys, I went over this six weeks ago with the men in black." "Humor us." "I went on two dates with T.J. Kim." "Then I cut it off." " Girl had a lot of baggage." " How long ago was that?" "About two months ago." "If I'd known there would be government agents showing up every other day to ask me about her," "I would've taken notes." "Hey, so listen." "All this stuff about October 19th, you guys think it's serious?" "I mean, like, should I be getting out of town?" "I don't think that's the answer." "As far as we know, you're as safe here as anywhere else." "That kid was lying." "Or at least he wasn't telling you everything." "The whole time you were talking to him, he was thinking about an address." "331 Reynolds Avenue." "Looks like it's clear." "Nobody's home." "Nobody's been home for a while, I'd say." "Look at this." "It's the government report on the return of the 4400." "I tried to read this once." "Kind of dry." "It looks like someone made it right through to the end." ""Wesley Hauser."" " "Wesley Hauser." "Wesley Hauser."" " Who the hell is Wesley Hauser?" "Hauser was a Marine." "Did two tours of duty in Vietnam." "He led protests against the war after he got home in '72." "Disappeared in '75." "Once he got out of quarantine, he never checked back in." "Guy's been living off the grid for almost two years." "Which means he never went on the inhibitor." "So who knows what he's capable of by now." "He was disillusioned with the government before he disappeared." "I wouldn't say we've done much to win him over since he's been back." "When he was in quarantine, he was housed in barracks three, same building as T.J. Kim." "An agitator." "An organizer." "A radical." "Sounds like we have our second member of the Nova Group." "Baldwin." "You're kidding me." "All right." "All right." "I know." "Put him through." " He says he's Wesley Hauser." " No way." "Yeah, hello?" "How'd you like my apartment?" "Well, to be honest, it felt a little empty without you there." "I'm on a tight schedule." "A lot to do before next week." "Sounds like you have interesting plans." "Why don't we get together someplace," " talk them over?" " No more talking." "There's nothing to say." "Your time is ending." "Ours begins October 19th." "Come on." "Let me go." "Why'd you run when we asked you about Hauser?" "You two used to eat together in quarantine." " We've got it on camera." " So...?" "The guy had a lot of good war stories." " Doesn't make us best friends." " So why did you run?" "Because when I see NTAC agents, I run the other way." "You people almost killed us all." "Can you blame me?" "Turn around." "Turn around." " Are we done here?" " Get out of here." "I mean, call me sensitive, but I felt like saying to him, "We exposed the inhibitor." "We saved your life."" "You guys just don't really get it, do you?" "It's not just that guy." "Every 4400 we've talked to today, they're scared of you." "Or they don't trust you." "Or they hate you." "I'm sorry, but the days when you could expect friendly conversation from these people, they're gone." "You're the bad guys now." "Get used to it." "Now, I'm just warning you, motherhood's no cakewalk." "Since when are you an expert?" "I'm only saying she landed on twins." "Kind of a big responsibility." "Especially when she's trying to get by on a teacher's salary." " What are you gonna name them?" " I don't really want to play anymore." " Is that okay?" " Oh, what's wrong, sweetheart?" "Nothing, except I know Marco's gonna win," "I'm gonna come second, and you're gonna end up alone with no money." "Don't be jealous." "He is smarter than you, but Mom likes you better." "So who's smarter than me?" "Who knows?" "I'm not even sure she knows exactly." "In some ways she was better off on the promicin inhibitor." "At least she wasn't overwhelmed back then." "All she wants to do is record what she sees in those notebooks." "It's like some kind of compulsion." "Well, think about it for a minute." "Every morning she wakes up and knows pretty much what's coming." "She's already lived the whole day once in her head." "By the time something actually does happen, it's like a rerun." " I hate watching reruns." " Yeah, try living one." "Hey, what about Kevin Burkhoff?" "Maybe he can figure out a way for Maia to control her visions." " He's brilliant." " I don't say this about many people, but he is smarter than me." "I know you." " Of course you do." "It's Diana Skouris." " You work at NTAC." "I'm not here on business, though." "I'm here about my daughter, Maia." "The precog." "What about her?" "She's still 10, right?" "She's not 65 now, is she?" "Interesting guess." " Kind of wide of the mark, though." " Good." "Might as well come on in." "Thank you." " Oh, sorry about the clutter." " That's okay." "I fired the maid last week." "She was always cleaning." "Excuse me." "So your daughter, what's troubling her?" "I'll let you do it." "I caused all this, right?" "And getting rid of me is the only way to save my mother." "No." "That's what you were thinking, wasn't it?" "No, it wasn't." "I don't want her to die either." "So I'll let you do it." "I'll even shut my eyes." "Isabelle, I would never hurt you." "Why?" "I don't understand." "It's the only way to save her." "We don't know that." "And I won't make a choice between the two of you." "Won't or can't?" "Sorry." "I don't mean to invade anyone's space." "Oh, that's okay." "It's not my desk." "But it looks like you'll be here for a while now, huh?" "Assuming this place is still standing on October 20th, yeah." "Maybe we should talk to Jarvis." "Get you a room of your very own." "That's fine with me." "To tell you the truth, I could use a little bit of a buffer zone." "This problem you're having with your daughter's precog ability." "I keep wanting to give you my opinion." "But I don't want to intrude." "So you are listening to my thoughts." "You and Baldwin." "I can't help it." "I try to tune you guys out, but every now and then something leaks through." "I'll try to keep that in mind." "You said you had an opinion about Maia." "What is it?" "When I first developed this thing of mine," "I was a basket case." "You saw me." "I truly thought I was going insane." "So I fought against it." "And that just made it worse." "I had to give in to it, let it take control of me." "And then slowly, I learned how to take control of it." "Listen, your kid stops fighting, and eventually it'll become like seeing, or hearing, or any other sense." "She won't even think about it." "It's just a part of who she is." "That's how it worked for me, anyway." "Thank you." "Diana, we just got a call from Seattle police." "Someone down there read our APB." "They know exactly where Hauser is." "You guys are lucky, actually." "In another day or two, we would've buried him in the potter's field." " Buried who?" " Him." "I always read the APB memos when they circulate in the police department." "Kind of a hobby." "Gets boring in here." "Anyway, there was a description of a regimental tattoo on the memo for Hauser." "82nd Airborne." ""Death From Above."" "I remember it from a John Doe they brought in here three weeks ago." "This guy drowned in the harbor." "Well, a lot of veterans have that tattoo." "Do a lot of veterans look exactly like the mug shot you circulated?" "Don't believe me?" "Take a look for yourselves." "Say hello to Wesley Hauser." "Hauser died two and a half weeks before Ryland was attacked." "Obviously, that wasn't him on the phone the other day." "And that copy of the 4400 report with all his notes over it?" "For all we know, that could've been a plant." "Somebody wanted us distracted." "They deliberately put us on the trail of some phantom member of the Nova Group." "How did we first find out about Hauser?" "T.J.'s old boyfriend gave us the address." "No, he was thinking it." "At least according to Gary he was." "Gary Navarro put us on to Wesley Hauser." "Get in." "You lied to me, Daniel." "You never said anything about killing people." "No, we were protecting you, Shawn." "If we tell you in advance, you're culpable." " What is she doing here?" " She's dying." "She needs your help." "I told you, I don't want anything more to do with you." "The Nova Group was supposed to protect us." "That's why I gave you money, Daniel." "That's why I gave you money." "Not to start a terrorist organization!" "We'll talk about your concerns later." "She's got a stomach wound and it's infected." "She needs you right now or she's not gonna make it." "Shawn, she's a 4400." "And if we don't help each other, what hope do we have?" "Give me your hand." "What are you doing here?" "You're awake." "Good." "It's important that you know it was me." "I'm the guy who killed you." "Med post, do you have a 20 on Gary Navarro?" " Yeah, he just walked by." "Why?" " Get him." "Hey." "Stop!" "Go." "I'll check on Ryland." "He's seizing." "He's bradying down." "I need a crash cart and Ativan." "Find Dr. Danoff." "Now!" "Stay right there, Gary." "Isabelle." "Isabelle." "Oh, God!" "Somebody call an ambulance!" "What's everybody standing around for?" " Somebody call an ambulance!" " They're on their way." " Somebody ll an ambulance." " Dad." "What am I?" "It's miraculous, Shawn." "When I watch you heal someone, well, it makes me wonder why they hate us so much." "They hate us because you're killing them, Daniel." "They're afraid of us." "I can't blame them." "You make it sound like we acted out of some sort of blood lust." "These were precise, tactical strikes, Shawn." "And you and every other 4400 were ultimately much safer because of them." "You killed people." "That's not what we discussed when you approached me." "I gave you money to start a defensive arm for the Center, in case the government ever came after us again." "It was a precaution." "And all we've done is taken precautionary measures." "Shawn, do you think that because their inhibitor program was exposed, that the government's just gonna leave us in peace?" "They know we've gotten stronger, which threatens their hold on power, which increases their need to eliminate us." "So we strike first?" "Is that it?" "Is that what happens on the 19th?" "Look, Shawn." "You do great work at that center of yours." "You just focus on that." "I don't wanna distract you." "Knowledge can be a burden." "And thanks for helping T.J. out." "You're a hero to your own people." "Don't forget that." "Yeah." "It did not work, you know." "Ryland was OD'ing, but the doctors pulled him out of it." "He'll be awake within a couple of hours." "Well, I'm sure you're as disappointed as I am." "Don't worry, we'll get him." "Let's talk about Wesley Hauser." "You first met him in quarantine." "I liked Wes." "He was ten kinds of crazy, but his heart was in the right place." "I guess he was bipolar or something, but he never took medication." "After quarantine, he lived on the streets." "I used to visit him down at the docks." "You know, give him food, a little money." "So when did you decide to kill him?" "Wes, he didn't need my help with that." "He drank about three bottles of Mad Dog a day." "One morning, about a month ago, I went down to see him, and I found him by the dumpster, dead." "And somewhere in the middle of your grieving process, you figured he'd make a handy decoy." "No, Hauser wouldn't have minded it." "I mean, he hated people like you going back to his Marine Corps days." "So when I found him, I said a word or two over his body." "And I pushed him into Elliot Bay." "So how long you been working with this Nova Group?" "Did someone approach you?" "Was the whole thing your idea?" "Tell me." "You and this girlfriend of yours." "Is it like a role-playing thing you get up to," "Or is she actually taking you into these...?" "I don't know." "What do you call it?" "Fantasy worlds?" "Oh, and this guy, Marco." "Does he know that you're too embarrassed to tell your partner that you two have been dating?" "Done showing off?" "Why don't you tell us what's gonna happen on October 19th?" "I guess you're gonna have to find yourself another telepath." "Good luck with that." " So you got nothing out of him?" " He told us about Hauser." "But as far as the Nova goes, it's gonna take time to break him down." " How much time?" " He's a telepath." " He knows what we're thinking." " Longer than usual." "Okay, so it's not easy." "But Gary Navarro has a Level 7 security clearance." "We must assume he's been using it to funnel national secrets to the Nova Group." "We need to know what he knows." "Now." "He'll talk." "Garys been inside our heads for a year." "I think I know how to get inside of his." " Careful with this, please." " Matthew." "I didn't expect to see you back for a couple weeks." "Nova Group provides my calendar for me." "Wiped it clean, actually." "It's difficult to lobby on behalf of the 4400 when some of them are boasting about their body count." "I suppose." "Hows Lily?" "Any improvement since I left?" " If anything, she's getting worse." " Sorry to hear that." "Isabelle?" "She tried to kill herself this morning." "She jumped off the roof." "A few minutes later, she was walking around like nothing happened." "I gotta tell you, Matthew." "I'm not gonna lie." "I'm really glad you're back." "Hello, Isabelle." "Hello." "Who are you?" "My name is Matthew Ross." "I work closely with Shawn." "I'm an adviser to the 4400." "May I come in?" "I understand there was an incident this morning." "You attempted to harm yourself." "I see." "You had no right to do that!" "Don't you understand who you are?" "What you're here to do?" " No." " Well, I do." "I know everything about you." "I know why you're here, and I know what you're supposed to do." "Sit." "And I'll tell you a story." "You'll like it." "It's about your past and it's about your future." "I know you went to a lot of trouble to get this." " Thank you." " But...?" "I'm not sure I wanna send Maia to a school that only teaches 4400s." "It sounds like a great way to get her to withdraw even further from the world." "Just pretend it's got nothing to do with the 4400 for a second." "It's a good school." "You know, topnotch faculty." "The facilities are great." "And it's all free." "The 4400 Center picks up the whole tab." "They even have a class on how to manage your abilities." "Just give me some time to think about it, okay?" "It's a big step." "I was kind of hoping Dr. Burkhoff would have," "I don't know, a magic pill or something." "What's he working on?" "Anything interesting?" "You know that promicin serum that he invented that saved everybody?" "Well, I saw a syringe at his place, and it looked like there was some in it." "Well, he's a researcher, right?" "He's probably injecting into, what?" "Mice?" "Guinea pigs?" "The only animals I saw at his place were a couple of cockroaches." "You don't think he's injecting it into himself, do you?" "That's ridiculous." "I am not injecting myself with the promicin serum." "Good." "I'm glad to hear it." "I'm injecting myself with a modified version of the promicin serum." "Dr. Burkhoff, I have to ask you this:" "Have you stopped taking your medication?" "Of course not." "I'm as sane as you are." "Once the course of treatment is finished," "I will have taught my body how to produce promicin." "And then I will be the first non-returnee to develop 4400 abilities." "The first of many." "You're talking about the next step in human evolution." "Do you think the world's ready for that?" "The world is never ready for change." "You have to force it on them." "Isn't that why the 4400 were brought back?" "Isn't that why the future woke me up?" "You shouldn't be doing research of this magnitude in, excuse me, but..." "In a dump." "These are hardly sterile working conditions." "You could help me with that." "You have a scientific background, right?" "I have graduate degrees in microbiology and epidemiology." "Good." "That'll be handy." "I need someone to monitor my progress as the changes continue." "Changes?" "I think it's an exciting first step, don't you?" "I was thinking, next time, we could make a world where Kyle never shot Jordan Collier, never went to prison, the inhibitor scandal never happened." "Sounds nice." "Although I have to tell you, at the moment," "I'm not really feeling a need to be transported to some kind of fantasy world." "As long as this water stays hot, things are A-okay with me right here and now." "Maybe tomorrow we can try it again." "I'll take a rain check." "I'm going to a seminar at the 4400 Center tomorrow." "It's about what we can expect physically now that we're off the inhibitor." "Is everything okay?" "You're not having any problems, are you?" "No, I feel fine." "I feel great, actually." "Well, then I don't get it." "Why do you need to go?" "I don't." "I wanna go." "I'm curious." "But why?" "You never wanted to go to the Center before." "Why start now?" "I never felt the need to be around other 4400s before." "Now you do?" "It's just a seminar, Thomas." "Yeah, okay." "I get it." "Do you recognize those names?" "They're 4400s." "All of them foreign nationals." "Alesandro Ortiz from Venezuela." "Ismael Namir from Libya." "Chitra Singh from Indonesia." "They've all gone missing in the past year." "That's one year." "That's about as long as you've worked for the NSA, isn't it, Gary?" "We checked your travel records." "You left Venezuela two days before Ortiz disappeared." "Same thing in Libya, Indonesia." "Everyone on that list." "You were there." "They went away." "What exactly did you do for the NSA, Gary?" "There's an arms race going on, isn't there?" "Only now it's with 4400s." "These people, I bet their abilities make the wrong people very nervous." "And the NSA couldn't stand by while foreign and potentially hostile governments developed what?" "Human weapons of mass destruction?" "Is this list complete, huh?" "Because I'm just wondering how many 4400s you did kill." " I did not kill anyone." " Oh, no, no, no." "You got the right people in the right ZIP code because you were living back home." "What did you say?" "Oh, yeah." "'Very comfortably when the actual dirty work was done."" "And that's why you went across to the Nova Group, isn't it, Gary?" "Because you just couldn't live with yourself." "The NSA told me that I was helping my country." "They didn't fill in the blanks." "I had to do that myself." "You felt used." "They made you a weapon against your own people." "So when did you figure it out?" "What's up?" "Who are these guys?" "This is Agent Wood and Dr. Boll of the NSA." "They've been brought in to help expedite the interrogation." "First of all, no more sitting." "What's going on here?" " Brought in by whom?" " Gary Navarro tried to kill me." "I made a phone call." "You should be in jail right now, Dennis." " I still have a few friends, Tom." " I had him talking." " I was making progress." " Not fast enough." "The members of Gary's cell know he's been taken." "They're already changing their plans." "If it takes too long to break him, the information he gives us is stale." " October 19th is three days away." " Yeah." "I know you find this hard to believe, Tom, but we are on the same side." "We have the same goal." "Those agents are tools." "Use them." "You're sitting in my spot." "Sorry." "It's okay." "There's room for two people to sit." "You've got Stalin, Pol Pot and the Marquis de Sade?" "Did you finish all the fun books?" "Well, I'm interested in learning more about evil." "Everybody's scared of me." "So I thought, what if they're right?" " What if I'm bad?" " Why would you think that?" "Sometimes, I think I feel it inside of me, like, I could be capable of anything." "Everyone's capable of anything." " Believe me, I know." " How?" " Have you done bad things?" " Yeah, of course I have." "Will you tell me about them?" "Okay." " I slept with my brother's girlfriend." " How bad is that?" "Some people would call that a major betrayal." "A lot of hurt feelings." " This man did much worse than that." " Well, I'm not a dictator." "But I've done the big kind of bad too." "I can't say much about it, but I gave some money to some people." "They used it for something really, really wrong." "And I don't think that they're finished." " Well, can you stop them?" " I could turn them in." "The thing is, so far, they've only gone after bad people." " People that tried to kill me." " Tried to kill all of us." "So if they've only gone after bad people," " then doesn't that make them good?" " Maybe." "I don't know." "We're relating now, aren't we?" "I read about this." "Yeah, we are." "How was it for you?" "I liked it." "We talked." "It helped me understand good and evil." "According to you, you get to pick." "It's a choice." "I have it right, don't I?" "Yeah, you do." "I can't open my hand." "I woke up from a nap, and it was all bunched up like this." "Arthritis, I can handle." "Feels good." "You're like a human heating pad." "I like that." "Human heating pad." "I'll take it as a compliment." "Seriously, you better?" "Yeah." "I've been trading e-mails with somebody down at the Mayo Clinic." "He says we should go to Sweden and try this experimental treatment." "Here." "What's this?" "Open it." "Can you believe that the Air Force lets you do that now?" "You give them some money, and they let you ride along in an F-16." "It says here I get to take the controls." "I talked to the guy who was in charge of the program and I told him about your background as a pilot, and he said he would let you drive for 30 seconds." "Lily, I was a pilot in 1950." "That's why it's only 30 seconds." "Happy birthday, Richard." "Thanks, but it's not my birthday for another six weeks." "Richard, I'm not going to be here in six weeks." " That's not true." " Yes, it is." "You and I have both known for a while." "Richard, I'm dying." "Lily." "I know how hard this is on you, but you can't give up." "Shawn said he's willing to stay here with you all day if he has to." " He'll keep you healthy." " He can't." "Not anymore." "Are all these people 4400s?" "Some are." "Some just wish they were." "Why would they want that?" "Good morning." "Welcome to the Center." "Are you a 4400?" "No, sweetie." "Are you?" "Well, it is an honor to meet you." " Are you here to take our seminar?" " No." "We're here to look at the school." "We have an appointment with Ms. Tobey." "I'll get her right away." "In the meantime, would you sign in and register your ability?" "We're creating a database." "You sure you wanna do this?" "I wanna meet kids like me." "My name is Alana Mareva." "I have to admit," "I was pretty hesitant about coming here today." "I was lucky." "My life was pretty much intact when I was returned." "I never thought much about being a 4400." "But when we all got sick, and seeing everyone together in quarantine," "it made me feel like I had been denying a part of myself." "So here I am." "And I'm glad I came." "Anything you wanna tell me?" "Gary." "Let's end this." "I'll let you sit down." "Who contacted you first?" "Just give me a name." "Oh, man." "So how about it?" "October 19th is two days away." "Now, you got something to tell me or not?" "Suit yourself." "One of our members has been compromised." "I have to assume he's gonna give up my name." "What, so you call me?" "For all I know, NTAC is monitoring this line." "Well, we're gonna have to go underground." "It's gonna cost money." "You think I'm just gonna write you a check?" "You can arrange it however you want." "I need it tomorrow." "I will see you at the usual spot, at the usual time." "We are in a war, and we all have to do our part." "Talk to me, Gary." "What do you got to say, man?" "Talk to me!" "Talk to me." "I need names." "Give me a name!" " Talk to me, Gary." " Daniel Armand." "Daniel Armand." "Daniel Armand." "Okay." "That's a start." " Who else?" " That's it." "He was my only contact." "I never met anyone else in the group." "He kept us all separate." "I'm sorry." "I'm just having a hard time believing that's true." "His pulse is tachy at 210." "Systolic's up to 240." " We need to lay off." " We've only got one name." "Can't put him under again." "Not for a few hours." "We haven't got a few hours." "Don't worry." "He's my responsibility." "No." "No." "No, he's not." "He's ours." "And he's done for the day." "Okay, so he's back." "It's not like we weren't expecting this." "No." "Relax." "He won't get anywhere near Isabelle." "We'll find him, and we'll deal with it." "You made a mistake." " You got the wrong person." " I have to go." "I don't think I do." "Those things you told me, those things you said I'm going to do." "That's not me." "I have a choice." "And I don't know who you are, and I don't know how you think you know so much about me," " but you're wrong." " Isabelle," "I understand why you're having trouble adjusting." "Growing up is hard, but don't be angry at the messenger." "It's not my plan." "I'm just here to help facilitate, to help you reach your full potential." "Think of me as a favorite uncle." "No." "No, I don't have any uncles." "I don't have any uncles, and I won't be a part of any plan." "That's fair enough." "You can always opt out." "You can even try saving your mother if you like." "How?" " What is that?" " Open it." "There aren't a lot of things that'll hurt you, Isabelle." "But that right there, that'll do the job." "If you can't accept the fact that your life is vastly more important than your mother's, just give yourself that shot." "You'll be dead in minutes." "And Lily?" "Who knows?" "Maybe she'll wake up and be a young woman again." " Will it really save her?" " I don't know." "It's a gamble." "But if you can't live with who you are, then don't." "Sorry about that." "I knew it." "I knew it." "I knew I had a clean cup somewhere." "Now, where are the filters?" " It's okay." "I don't need coffee." " I swear I just saw them." "Do you mind if I just use paper towels?" " Kevin, if I do this..." " If you do it?" "You're already doing it." "You're here, right?" "If I monitor you throughout this experiment," "I need you to know one thing." "If it gets to a point where your life is in danger," "I am cutting this off." "I will not stand by and watch you die." "Well, I would hope not, because I'm too valuable." "I think this is gonna be fun." "I haven't really worked with anyone for quite some time." " I'm looking forward to it." " Me too." "So..." "Wanna draw some blood?" "Nina." "We were just downstairs." "The guard on duty said Wood signed Gary out." "Gary was transferred to an NSA-run facility." "But he's a 4400." "He's our jurisdiction." "And someone at the Pentagon signed an order overriding us." "Apparently." "They feel we lack experience in high-pressure interrogation." "And who do you think put that little bug in their ear?" "I don't know if it was Ryland or not." "But we had our shot at Navarro." "Now, tomorrow is October 19th." "We are a day away from an announced terrorist attack." "The NSA thinks they can get him to talk." " So where are they taking him?" " They didn't share that information." "This is so wrong." "This is the only place in the country that's at least somewhat equipped to handle 4400s." "Do you think that I didn't tell him that?" "They weren't interested." " Isabelle." " Hi." "May I come in?" "Are you going somewhere?" "I saw Dad putting luggage into his car." "Oh, we're just gonna try another clinic, but we will be away for a while." " Do you want me to come with you?" " No." "No, it's all right." "Thank you." "Now, if there's anything that you need, you can talk to Shawn." "He's..." "He'll be looking out for you, okay?" "And..." "I wanna give you this." "It's my wedding band." "I inherited it from my grandmother." "Her name was Lily too." "You used to love to play with it when you were a little baby." "I remember." " I used to like to bite on it." " And my finger too." "You can wear it if you want." "I always knew that I would give it to you one day." "It doesn't fit me anymore, and I'd hate to lose it." "I'll keep it safe for you." "I know you will." "I'm sorry I have to leave so soon." "I wish we had more time together." "Well, when do you think you'll be back?" "It's hard to say." "Goodbye, Isabelle." "Bye." "Thank you very much." "I'll take her from here." "Thank you." "Okay, you told her we were going over to the hospital?" " How'd it go over?" " Oh, fine." "I had it easy." "I got to lie." "You're the one who has to tell her the truth." "What's going on?" "What's happening?" "We'll get him." "Funny, that's the exact same thing Navarro said about you." "So far, he's wrong." "He never should've been moved in the first place." " There was no reason." " There was every reason." "You're too soft, Tom." "I don't know what's happened to you." "No, I had him, Dennis!" "You lost him." "Sunset's in four hours." "At this point, we can't even say with 100% certainty that it's gonna rise again in the morning." "And the one guy who can tell us is gone." "That's a defeatist attitude." "We'll get him." "Yeah, I know." "You keep saying that." "Hey, Shawn." " You got something for me?" " Where's Daniel?" "Busy." "He sent me." " No, no, no." "That's not how we work." " Today it is." "You can trust me." "You saved my life." "I owe you." "Come on." "Let's get this over with." "I feel a little naked standing out here." "Thanks." "Listen, if there's ever anything you need" "You sold us..." "Get in there, get in there." " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "I don't guess we'll be seeing her in court anytime soon." "No, you did the right thing by calling us, Shawn." "Seriously." "You're a hero." "One minute to go." "Just tell me one thing." "Are we as prepared as we can be?" "The entire country's on level-red terror alert." "All commercial air traffic has been suspended for the day." "The National Guard has been deployed to likely targets." ""Likely targets." Kind of a broad term." "I wish T.J. could've narrowed that down for us." "Well, me too." "But we have to keep her sedated to inhibit her ability." "She's already turned this place into a war zone once." "So now we wait." "Anyone else feel like they're staring at a doomsday clock?" "Well, that's it." "October 19th." "Looks like the world's still here." "For the moment, anyway." "Oh, my God!" " What?" "What happened?" " It's the Nova Group." "Certainly, "miracle" is an imprecise term, but I'm not sure how else to describe it." "To repeat:" "I'm broadcasting live from the Nubian Desert, north of Khartoum, where overnight, a thousand-acre patch of barren sand has somehow been transformed into fertile wheat fields." "Scientists are at a loss to explain the conversion, but tests confirm that the wheat is real and edible." "There hasn't been food growing in that part of the world since before the birth of Christ." "They make us all terrified, and then rather than attacking us, they give us a gift." "Our station has just received a statement from the radical 4400 organization known as the Nova Group, claiming responsibility for this morning's transformation." "You are witnesses to the beginning of a new era." "What happens next is up to you." "The 4400 can be mankind's greatest ally, or its most dangerous adversary." "Don't kid yourself." "It's an attack." "An act of aggression, anyway." "They just showed everyone that they can change the world, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it." " Hello?" " I'm very disappointed in you, Shawn." " Daniel." " I realize you're still a young man." "But I'm afraid I can't forgive you." "Keith, I'm broadcasting live from the Nubian Desert..." "It's okay, Kyle." "Daddy's..." "Daddy's here." "I'm right here." "I'm right here." "Just go to sleep." "Hey, I'm Tyler." "Maia." "Lily." "We are here." " Hasn't changed much, has it?" " No." "We were so happy here." "Just you and me, and the baby." "It was so much simpler." " Would you like to head on inside?" " No, not just yet." "No, let's stay out here for a while." "It's so peaceful." "Remember when you went into labor?" "I could hardly get the car into gear." "But you gave me directions to the hospital." "How did you stay so calm?" "Lily?"
