"The Starzl Mutation's extremely rare." "The only documented cases are in the Seattle area." "You see, there's two kinds of mutations." "Some occur naturally." "You know, something goes wrong when the body's building itself." "Others are induced." "The genes are changed by external factors." "And the Starzl Mutation is induced." "Right." "Starting in 1969, Seattle Presbyterian Hospital used a flawed radiation machine to treat their cancer patients." "You know, the microswitches that controlled the thing weren't working." "The dosages were all off." "How long did this go on?" "Just under five years." "Once the hospital figured out what they were doing, they tested everyone who had ever been exposed to it." "In some cases, the radiation induced a small mutation." "The Starzl Mutation." "They named it after the company that made the bad machine." "And the mutation's replicable." "People who got it passed it on to their kids, which includes our three victims." "But they were living normal lives." "They were healthy." "Hey, just like most mutations, you can have it and not even know." "After everything went public, the lawyers came out to play." "There was a class-action lawsuit." "Seattle Presbyterian paid a huge settlement to everyone who was affected by the machine." "They" " They almost went bankrupt." "So Darren Piersahl, who's supposed to be dead, is targeting carriers of the Starzl Mutation, which only occurs around Seattle and has absolutely no effect on its carriers." "Okay, but why?" "Excellent question." "When you find out, make sure you tell me." "If there was a lawsuit, there's a paper trail." "I'll bet that hospital keeps a master list of everyone they paid."

"But if everyone would be so happy, why not just tell us about it?" "As usual, you have no idea of what the stakes are."

"Turns out John Shaffner's family never received his remains either." "You know, there was really a helicopter crash that day in Iraq, but four families got their kids' bodies back, and two didn't." "Here's what I'm thinking" "TOM:" "Piersahl and Shaffner were recruited into Haspel Corp's program at the same time." "So they used the crash to fake two deaths." "So that Piersahl and Shaffner could disappear into the program with impunity." "So we have a second member of Haspel Corp's program." "Great." "But it doesn't get us any closer to Darren Piersahl." "MARCO:" "Good point." "It doesn't." "Not until... you look at Shaffner's dog tags." "This is Shaffner's military serial number." "Look familiar?" "Uh, should it?" "Twenty-seven." "That's what the note we found on Tim McCarren said." "That's also where we found his name on the list of people with Starzl Mutation." "Eleven." "That was Paula Nakata's number." "And Holly Martins was 92 on the list." "There is a pattern." "He's picking the order based on his buddy's serial number." "Okay, but why?" "Maybe it's a message." "Uh, maybe they're doing it together." "But if he's consistent, the next victim will be number 38 on the Starzl list." "Alex Messina." "I checked him out." "He manages a bike store in Madrona."

"He killed one of the instructors by mistake." "It freaked him out." "You two escaped together?" "Once we got out, we pretty much went our separate ways." "I had no idea he was gonna do this." "So he's AWOL?" "These murders aren't sanctioned by anyone?" "No, Darren's freelancing." "That's why they want him back so bad." "He's compromising the program." "Our C.O.s, they told us about the Starzl Mutation." "They told us it could be a threat, but they never told us to kill anybody." "Then what is it?" "Why does Darren want them dead so badly?" "Got something to do with babies." "So far, any time a 4400 has a kid with a member of the regular population, their babies are normal." "They don't make promicin or have abilities." "We know, we've been tracking the births." "But the Starzl Mutation changes all that." "If a 4400 has a kid with someone who has the mutation, the baby would be promicin-positive." "They'd have abilities." "How would the military know that?" "Have they tried it?" "SHAFFNER:" "I don't know, but they seem pretty sure it's true." "I know this is gonna sound crazy, but Darren is a victim here too." "They gave us so many stimulants." "They amped us up to kill and he snapped." "Now, I don't know if he thinks he's on a mission or something, but I know he needs to be stopped." "I'll do whatever I can to help you find him." "DENNIS:" "So, what do you think you know?" "Everything." "Including the Starzl Mutation." "And I have to give you credit." "If what you say is right, it would explain why the 4400 was sent back in 2004." "Why they were all brought to Seattle." "This is the only place the 4400 can reproduce and have kids with abilities." "Any of this sound familiar?" "I think I read the same theory in a supermarket tabloid once." "We know about your enhanced soldier program, Dennis." "We have one of your people." "John Shaffner been showing up for many roll calls lately?" "Well, as soon as we have Piersahl, we're going public with this, and there's nothing you can do to stop that." "All you can do is make yourself and this company look slightly better by cooperating with our efforts to bring him in." "We want Piersahl's personnel file." "Everything you have." "If it's not in my hands in 90 seconds," "Shaffner will be standing in front of a bank of cameras before lunch." "TOM:" "This could be something." "Maybe." "It reads like some kind of personal statement." "An essay by Piersahl." "Yeah, we had to do those to get in the program."

"That's good, I need your help." "I'm never gonna make it all the way through this list on my own." "Darren, you don't have to finish the list." "It's someone else's agenda." "You got it all mixed up in your head." "Come on with me, there's people I want you to talk to." "They can help us." "They?" "Who are--?" "Who are they?" "It's gotta stop, man." "Please." "Come with me." "No." "No." "Wait!" "We got people covering the access road, we'll pin him down." "Fan out!" "( indistinct shouting )" "( Darren screaming )" "( suspenseful theme playing )" "Oh, Jesus." "Tom!" "( grunting )" "I can't see anything." "Tom." "Tom!" "Tom?" "( gasping )" "( grunting )" "MARCO:" "We lost Shaffner," "Piersahl's dead." "He was on his way out before we even started fighting." "Piersahl had a stab wound in his stomach." "I guess Shaffner didn't go down without a fight." "Yeah." "Well, they're both gone." "And there's no one left to talk about the program." "We still have evidence." "We can go after Haspel Corp. Expose everything." "DIANA:" "But it would have been nice to have a face to put out there." "Now all we have are accusations and a paper trail." "And five dead bodies." "Hey, you guys gotta see this." "We are proud to announce the existence of this enhanced-soldier program to all the world, but it should not, in any way, be seen as an offensive maneuver." "We have evidence suggesting that other countries have similar programs." "This is merely a response." "The young men I'm about to introduce to you have been working in secret, and we've made numerous advances." "In time, they'll become the first non-4400s to develop extra-human abilities, and they'll use them in the defense of the United States." "Now, I'd like to introduce eight heroic young men, all of whom have given so much of themselves to make this breakthrough possible." "Ryland's preempting us." "Trotting them out there on stage like they're the first astronauts." "Major Jeremy Elwood." "First Lieutenant Raymond Garcia." "First Lieutenant Jeff Rice." "First Lieutenant Brian Dawson." "Second Lieutenant James Noland." "Second Lieutenant Dirk Danoff." "TOM:" "The press conference was a clever move, Dennis." "I have to give credit where it's due." "But this company has five bodies on its hands." "And I'm gonna make sure everyone knows it." "Knows what?" "We're not denying anything." "It's unfortunate that one of my men went AWOL, but he was clearly deranged." "And I've got a whole team of doctors standing by to testify to that effect." "You created an assassin." "It's a tragedy." "And it's news, I'll admit that." "But tomorrow morning, the Piersahl case will be below the fold on every newspaper." "And all the headlines will be about our program." "That's the way I see it, anyway." "Wait, who's feeding you your information?" "You knew about the Starzl Mutation before we did." "You have a source of promicin for your program." "Who is it?" "You give me too much credit, Tom." "That stuff happens way above my security clearance." "( suspenseful theme playing )" "The soldiers you're creating, are you really gonna use them to defend the country?" "Or are you just gonna send them after the 4400?" "Is there a difference?" "( elevator doors open )" "Enjoy your nephew's wedding." "( indistinct chatter )" "You sure you're ready for this?" "God, you look ready." "Let's do this." "( all cheering )" "Hello there." "Thanks for coming." "Thanks, kids." "Thank you for coming so much." "Thank you for being here." "Thank you so much for being here." "Thank you." "Thank you for coming so far." "Thank you."
