"The world will have to deal with us." "Previously on The 4400..." "You belong here..." "in Promise City," " with us, Kevin." " Since when did kidnapping become part of this new religion of yours?" "A promicin compatibility test would be death to this movement." "I wish Jordan had buried that stuff somewhere." "Just do me a favor, okay, and just hold off for a while." "Curtis, what about the conspiracy?" "What about The Marked?" "Curtis, what about the conspiracy?" "What about The Marked?" "I made the whole thing up." "They got to you." "they bought you off." "There's a very good chance the director of National Intelligence is marked." "You don't feel any different, do you?" "You mean, am I one of The Marked?" "Some kind of zombie controlled by a future human?" "You're not Tom Baldwin, are you?" "Promicin is evil." "People who use it are evil." "Their goal isn't to change the world, it is to end it." "You can stop them." "What do we do now, Diana?" "We gotta find a way to get the real Tom Baldwin back." "With Tom, sometimes, I think he knows." "Like, I could be working a case and I catch him staring at me like he's... studying me, and trying to figure out if I'm onto him." "I know, and we're supposed to act like nothing's changed." "I've been seeing the guy." "Every time he puts a hand on me, I have to... keep myself from shivering." "We can't keep this up forever." "Sooner or later, he's going to figure out we know he's marked." "We have to... find a way to get rid of that thing inside him." "All that water." "Takes some getting used to, huh?" "They'll just pollute it." "They don't know what to do with the resources they have." "Isabelle's in Promise City." "As soon as she gets close to Collier, she'll move." "She knows not to damage him, right?" "Good." "There's one other thing I need you to take care of." "A potential loose end." "Your partner's daughter, Maia Skouris?" "If she has the wrong vision at the wrong time..." "It could complicate things." "I'll handle it." "We don't even know how they make someone marked." "Never mind how you'd get one of those things out of somebody." "Without more information, I don't know what we can do." "There is someone... who knows more about The Marked than we do." "Feel like a trip to Canada?" "Cut!" "Print!" "Perfect!" "Curtis, I think we need to go again." "There was a camera shadow on..." "Don't worry about this, we'll fix it in post." "I'm gonna be in my trailer while you light the next shot." "I got to make some tweaks to this scene." "Phil..." "Great job, Phil!" "Hello, Curtis." "Sit down." "We have some questions for you." "About what?" "About what camera lens you're using..." "What do you think, Curtis?" "We want to talk about The Marked." "I already told you guys, I made all that up." "The Marked aren't real." "I have to work." "If you want to watch me direct, I can get you some headphones." "You're not going back to work any time soon." "Now all we need you to do is tell us how to kill one of those things." "Season 4" " Episode 12 Tiny Machines" "[ Synchro ] Benj!" "[ Synchro ] aSpro5oo" "You guys shouldn't even be here." "It's not safe." "I'm pretty sure people are watching me all the time." "So you do admit The Marked are real." "This is simple." "Tell us what we want to know and we'll be gone." "How do you get one of those things out of somebody?" "Look, I'm not even sure you can." "I burned my screenplay, but there was this one scene I was writing." "They were marking Matthew Ross." "They had to put some kind of weird fluid into his spine." "I think that's how they take people over." "The characters I was writing, they kept talking about these... tiny machines inside the fluid." "Tiny machines?" " What does that mean?" " Look, I'm a filmmaker, not a... scientist." "All by yourself?" "I like it here in the morning." "It is pretty." "What's your name?" "Sophia." "What can you do?" "What makes you special, Sophia?" "You know how we have five senses?" "I can play with them." "I can make whichever ones I want stronger or weaker." "So if you want to... you could make someone blind or deaf?" "Sophia, why don't you come along with me?" "Shawn, this is Sophia." "She's so nice." "She's going to help us out." "All right." "I think you've gathered enough people now." "We know where they're holding Kevin." "Let's go get him before everyone wakes up." "Ready to get out of here?" "It's good you came." "They wouldn't give me any sunflower seeds." "I found that agitating." " Whatcha doing?" " Just walking to the bus stop." " Where's my mom?" " Yeah, I'm working solo today." "Diana told me she had an errand she need to run." "I'm heading your way." "Do you want a lift?" " Sure." " Great." "That was kind of weird, huh?" "How we just saw each other on the street?" "To be honest, Maia, it wasn't a coincidence." "I..." "I wanted to talk to you about your mom." "Is something wrong?" "It's probably nothing, but..." "She's been acting funny at work." "I think she's under a lot of stress." "Have you noticed anything?" "Not really." "I..." "I guess she's been working hard." "She talks to your new boss all the time." "She even comes over here at night sometimes." "Really?" "Do you think I could have a little ice with this soda?" " Oh, yeah, sure." " Thanks." "What about visions, Maia?" "Have you seen anything unusual lately?" " Anything at all?" " No, just..." " Just little stuff." " Yeah?" "Thanks." "Wait, cheers." "Can't remember the last time I had root beer." "It's good." "Well, I guess it's probably nothing." "But you know what, do me a favor, though." "Don't..." "Don't tell your mom we had this little talk." "I don't want her to think that I'm worried about her." "Okay." " You feeling tired, sweetie?" " A little." "Why don't you take a nap?" "I can let myself out." "Okay." "See you." "See you." "It's done." "I gave the girl a massive dose of the inhibitor." "She won't be having any visions for a couple of weeks." "I want this to be fast." "We need be in and out of the center as quickly as Shawn got into Promise City." "Ground floor..." "In the back, as the foyer opens onto the rose garden." "Both teams split up inside the foyer..." "Both teams split up inside the foyer..." "What's going on?" "Why does he have bodyguards around him all day?" "Shawn came into Promise City this morning with another 4400." "They took Kevin Burkhoff." "You're not going to hurt him, are you?" "Shawn needs to learn to stay out of our way." "Things are going to get... crazy around here for a while." "I gotta get back in there." "I'll come find you later, okay?" "Curtis Peck dropped out of school in tenth grade." "I think it's safe to assume he doesn't have much grounding in the scientific method." "But when he talks about tiny machines in someone's spinal fluid, there's really only one thing Curtis could mean." " Nanites." " Nanotechnology." "That's right." "Machines built at the molecular level." " Tiny machines." " Wait..." "I haven't read the last couple issues of Scientific American, but as far as I know, nanites are a theoretical technology." " They don't exist." " Not yet." "Not that we know of, anyway." "When someone's marked, one personality takes over another, right?" "So, how does that happen?" "Nanites." "Somehow, the personality of the... future guy is encoded in these little machines." "They're injected into someone's cerebrospinal fluid." "They replicate, and once there's enough of them..." "Bam!" " You're marked." " So how do you destroy nanites?" "I have no idea." "Officially, nobody's even built them yet, much less worried about how to get them out of somebody." "Hey, guys." "Garrity said you were all down here." "Figured I'd join the party." "You said you had that real estate thing." " I didn't know you were back." " Yeah, I... saw the place in Lynwood." "We're just debating the pros and cons of... suburbia." "That guy looks stressed." "Guess he's a city dweller." "They were here when we got down here." "Where have you been?" "Just case work." "We've been hearing rumors about a promicin distribution network out at Northmount college." "I was just poking around." "Well, I'd better get upstairs." "Look, it all comes down to whether you want to put up with a long commute." "Jordan is nothing if not persistent." "It won't be long before he comes back on us." "Maybe we should leave." " He won't hurt Shawn if we're not here." " No, you're not going anywhere." "Collier's proved he'll find you no matter where you are, so this place is as good as any." "We have 4400s here who believe in what we're doing, even people who've taken the shot." "They're willing to protect you." "So, whatever Collier's planning, we'll be ready for him." " Shawn, I'm sorry to interrupt." " It's okay." "Your brother and your mother are waiting downstairs." "Okay..." "I'll be right back." "Hey, mom." "Hey, Danny." "I know we don't have an appointment, but I was out for coffee with your brother, and I figured we'd stop by." "Well, good, I'm glad." "It's good to see you guys." "It's just... right now..." "It's not a good time?" "See, I told you." "I know I always say that, it's just right now is a really bad time." "Okay, I get it." "I just wanted to look at you." "I will come by this weekend." " We'll have dinner." " Good." "I'll have my people call your people." "Oh, okay." "All right." "I'll be waiting for that call." "I'll be there in a minute, okay, mom?" "Joanna, could you just give us a second?" " Sure." " Thanks." "Bye, mom." "So, I saw you on the news." "You were talking about this promicin compatibility test?" "Yeah, we're working on it." "I want to take it." "Shawn, I've had that shot sitting around for months now." "I figured I'd never take it, but this test changes everything." "I could find out whether it's safe or not." "It's just the test isn't really ready yet, Danny." "Yeah, but it's close, right?" "I'm just looking for a rough idea of what my odds might be." "Well, no school for you tomorrow." "You have a temperature of 101." "When did you start feeling bad?" "This afternoon." "Oh, honey." "Well, at school?" "No." "On the bus ride home." "Well, here, you take these..." "And we'll take your temperature again in the morning." "Who's that?" "Hey, sorry to drop by unannounced, but I just had a two-hour phone call with a guy in my graduate school class." "He works at J.P.L. now." "I asked him how you'd get an infection of nanites out of someone's body." " First, he laughed at me." " What happened when he got serious?" "He said, theoretically, it's possible." "Nanites, if they existed, would have a molecular structure, which means their chemical bonds could be broken." "Okay, how?" "Here's where it gets a little dicey." "My friend said the only way you could be sure all the nanites were destroyed... would be to expose someone to a highly radioactive substance." "Something like polonium." "How much radiation?" "About 50 nanograms would do the job." " Tom would die." " I know." "If we really want to kill that thing inside him, we're gonna have to kill Tom, too." "So Diana Skouris was definitely a passenger on your flight to Vancouver yesterday?" "Can you check to see if there was a Meghan Doyle on that same flight?" "She was." "Thanks." "Hey, good morning." " Morning." " Anything going on?" "Yeah, actually." "We had a tip on that college promicin case." "A student named Penelope Rice called." "She said her peace studies professor has been lecturing in favor taking the shot." "Well, you think he's been supplying the students?" "I think it's worth taking a look." "You drive." "Coming?" "You had this cat scan yesterday?" "I had to drop Shawn's name to get an appointment, but they took me." "You have a beautiful brain, but I'm afraid you won't be able to help me with the compatibility test." "I don't understand." "Why not?" "Doesn't matter." "He just told you you can't take the shot." "No, that's not what I said." "At this point, the test is almost ready." "I'm just narrowing down who would live and who wouldn't." "I can already answer that for 90% of the population." "It's the middle 10% that I'm focused on." "I have to find that exact dividing line between death and survival." "You..." "You're a statistical outlier." "Look for yourself." "You have a very prominent corpus callosum." "One of the largest I've ever seen." "So my chances of survival are good?" "Excellent." "I'd say the shot poses virtually no risk to you at all." "I knew it." "You hear that?" "I've got a very prominent corpus callosum." "I'm not stalling." "Collier's been surrounded by bodyguards all day." "I..." "I can't get anywhere near him." " I'm having a hard time believing that." " It's true." "I don't even know if I can hurt Collier, let alone walk out of here with him." "Isabelle, trust me, you can do whatever you want to Collier." "If he told you otherwise, he was bluffing." "You're forgetting how strong you are, or maybe you're just dragging your feet." "Maybe you'd like to pretend you can still be friends with those people, that your time in Promise City actually meant something." " It did." " Did it mean more to you than your father does?" "You need to get this done." "You have 24 hours." "What's up?" "It's nothing important, just family stuff." "Your student informant was a wash." "She called NTAC out here because she was mad at her professor." "He gave her a "C" for the semester." "We could go talk to the guy." "Wouldn't hurt to ask some questions." "Like what?" "Why he's such a tough grader?" "Nah, I think we should head back." "I have to leave a little early today." "Oh, my god, you're one of them." "You're marked." " Is that what they told you?" " Is what who told me?" "Skouris, Doyle." "I know they were here." "I just want to finish my movie." "If we wanted you dead, you'd have been gone a long time ago." "We just need to go over what they said." "Did they tell you I'm marked?" "No, they didn't mention you at all." "They just asked me how to get rid of one of those things, if there's a way to take a mark out of somebody." "So they're going to try to save Tom Baldwin." "I don't know, but it's got nothing to do with me." "I didn't tell them anything!" "It's okay." "Look, it's okay." "It's okay..." "I'm not mad, Curtis." "We just have to be thorough, that's all." "What else did they ask you?" "Nothing." "That's all we talked about." "Can I go home now?" "I told you, I didn't say anything." "What are you doing?" "You're a filmmaker." "You should appreciate what I'm about to do." "Call it..." "Getting rid of a plot hole." "Tom, what are you doing?" "You scared me, Diana." "It's after midnight." "Why are you still here?" "I was just down in the theory room, and now I'm on my way out." "So, what's going on?" "Oh, I'm just taking some work home with me." " That's a lot of work." " Yeah." "Well..." "Good night, honey." "You know, tom, I can't let you leave with those files." "Why not?" "Okay, yeah, there's some sensitive stuff in here, but it's you and me, Diana." "We take work home all the time." "It's no big deal, right?" "You know, you're just so bad at this." "I don't know what lessons you took in bodysnatching school, but... you make a terrible Tom Baldwin." "You're so insincere." "Very funny, Diana." "I'd laugh, but it's late..." "You're a Marked, Tom." "I know it." "Meghan knows it." "Just for a second, let's pretend I am." "Do you have any idea how hard it would be to pretend you're someone from this place?" "You're all weak, vacillating." "We're human beings." "I..." "I don't know how we evolved into you." "Neither do I." "Neither do I." "I mean, look at you, Diana." "You have no idea what you want." "You've driven away every man who's ever looked at you." "Your daughter hand-delivered you a fiancé by prophecy, and you couldn't even hold onto him." "The longest relationship you've ever had with a guy?" "It's with me." "Your good old buddy, Tom Baldwin." "I am friends with him, and I'm not even going to ask him to apologize once I've burned you out of him." "You should get some rest, Diana." " You're starting to sound delusional." " Put the files down now, Tom." "Diana, what..." "Fine." "What are you doing here?" "You never came to see me." "Oh, sorry, I got tied up with Jordan." "Are you okay?" "I don't want to be alone tonight." "Well, it's okay, you can stay here." "And I don't want to talk either." "Are you sure you don't want me to call a doctor?" "I'm fine, Marco." "I just got a call from the Vancouver police." "Curtis Peck was found murdered a couple of hours ago." " Oh, my god." " They're thinking maybe was a robbery." "I gave them no reason to believe otherwise." "God knows what he's going to do next." "I don't want to ratchet up the pressure or anything, but..." "If we're going to cure Tom, we're going to have to do it fast." "My guy was able to get me a sample of polonium, but it degrades quickly." "In a couple days, it'll be useless." "Tom knows we're onto him." "There's no way he's coming back to NTAC." "We have to have to find a way to lure him to us." "I always hated needles." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I feel fine, actually." "That doesn't mean you're free and clear." "We got to keep an eye on you for a while, okay?" "But I feel good." "You're just wondering what kind of ability you're going to get." "The world could always use another healer, right?" "Kyle, wake up." "How did you sleep?" "I've been awake all night." "I have to go." "It's time." "Time for what?" "You're going to go to sleep for a while, and when you wake up, everything's gonna be different." "What are you talking about?" "I want you to know, all the things I felt for you were real." "This is the only real friendship I've ever had." "Isabelle, are you okay?" "For a while there, I believed you'd changed." "So did I." "Maia, honey, you need to get up." "How are you feeling?" " A bit better." " Okay?" "I just don't think I can go to school." "Well, that's okay, but you need to get dressed, we need to pack you a little bag, because we're going someplace for a while." "Where?" "Well, just a hotel." "What happened to your eye?" "Well, it's..." "I'm okay." "We're just going to go to a place, because it's not safe here." "I don't want to frighten you, but it's..." "It's Tom." "He's..." "He's just got something bad inside him, and he's just not himself." "All right?" "So, come on, we need to get going." "I don't understand." "That's what Tom said about you." "What?" "When?" "A couple of days ago, he picked me up at school." "A couple of days ago?" "That was right before you started feeling sick, right?" "Wake him up." "What do you want with me?" "Hello, Jordan." "Looks like you and I will be working together after all." "It won't do you any good to kill me." "The movement's too strong." "It'll go on without me." "Who said anything about killing you?" "This is a sedative." "We're not going to make you a martyr to your cause, Jordan." "We're going to make you a traitor to it." "You're gonna sleep for a while, and when you wake up, there's gonna be something inside you, and in time, you'll come to think exactly the way we do." "You'll be a brand-new Jordan Collier..." "A man concerned with protecting the future, instead of destroying it." "You forget," "I've seen the world you created, and the oceans were deserts of bone, fires filled the horizon, and everywhere I walked," " there was screaming." " We inherited that world, and we managed to survive," " and even prosper." " All you people did was build a wall to hide behind while the rest of the planet died around you." "It doesn't matter what you do, you'll never get your future back." "The world is turning positive." "You're right, Jordan." "We're helpless..." "But you're not." "You can take promicin out of people." "You can turn positives into negatives." "Your ability, Jordan, that's how we're going to win." "Once you're marked, you'll gather all your followers around you, and then one by one, you're going to take their abilities away, and you're not going to stop until you rid the world of promicin." "Oh, look, Jordan Collier has nothing to say." "You have to admire the symmetry." "You're going to single-handedly destroy the movement you created." "You lied to me." "You told me that we need Isabelle." "You said she changed." "I said you had to bring her to Collier, that she was a part of all this, and she is." "She's doing what she has to do." "You need to do the same." "How?" "Jordan is gone." "Everything is falling apart." "You can't let that happen, Kyle." "Somebody has to be in charge of Promise City now." "Me?" " Hello?" " Tom, it's me, Maia." "Maia, hi." " Is everything all right?" " I don't think so." "It's my mom." "I'm worried about her." "She's acting weird." " Weird how?" " She took me to this hotel." "She said that there's something wrong with you." "That's not true, Maia." "I'm sorry she told you that." "What else did she say?" "Nothing." "Don't get mad, but when you came to see me, I didn't tell the truth." "I did have a vision last week." "You and my mom were in it." "It was bad." "It's okay, Maia, whatever it is, it hasn't happened yet." "Just tell me what you saw." "My mom, she had a gun, and you guys were arguing." "Then she shot you." "I didn't say anything when you came to see me, because I didn't think it was gonna come true." "But now I'm not so sure." "Where did this happen, Maia?" "I need details." "I couldn't tell." "She'd be so mad if she knew I was calling you." "Be careful, okay?" "And please, don't do anything to hurt her." "Just tell me what the place looked like, Maia, just..." "You missed lunch." "I did?" "Is it still day?" "It's 3:00 in the afternoon." "Kevin, I know you're busy with your test, but..." "It seems, ever since Shawn healed me," "I never see you anymore." "Are you avoiding me?" "Actually, yes." "As much as possible." "Why?" "Because you're healthy now, and... you're young, and..." "I'm not exactly either of those things." "You don't need me to take care of you anymore, so I'm trying to..." "Give you space." "How could you be so brilliant, and so clueless?" "Why would I want space?" "Where am I going to find another you?" "Well..." "I suppose that would be a challenge." "I'd like you... to go visit your grandniece again." "It's not safe here anymore." "I'm a target, as long as you're with me, you wille be too." "And when this is over, when I perfect the test," "I'll come find you." "How do I know that you will?" "How could I not?" "Where would I find another you?" "Don't move, Tom." "Put the gun down or I will shoot you." "Meghan, please..." "Meghan, honey, it's me." "Please, you have to help me." "This thing inside me, I'm trying to fight it..." "But it hurts..." "sometimes it hurts so much." "Get down on the floor and put your hands behind your head." "Oh, god!" "Tom, freeze!" "Freeze, Tom!" " Here you go." " Thank you." "You're welcome." "Do you think your brother looks a little thin?" "Tired?" "I'm worried about him." "Mom, I didn't come here to talk about Shawn." "There's something I want to tell you." "I took the shot." "Mom, it worked out." "I'm fine." "I was afraid you would." "As soon as I heard about that test your brother's working on," " I knew you'd be first in line." " Mom, this is a good thing." "The world is changing." "There are miracles out there." " I'm going to be part of it now." " Just like your brother's part of it." "Yeah, I guess." "I mean, why should he have a gift and not me, right?" "Mom, you okay?" "Mom, what's wrong?" "Mom!" "Just... someone, help, please!" "Mom, no!" " Where did he go?" " I guess he went around back." "Don't move!" "Drop the gun." "Don't make me shoot you." "You going to fix me, Diana?" "Gonna get your old Tom back?" "How do you think that'll help things?" "I'm a better NTAC agent now than I've ever been." "Ever since I..." " re-evaluated things..." " Put your hands in the air!" "Keep them where I can see them." "I've made more progress against Jordan Collier and promicin than we made in a year." "We're winning now, Di." "Isn't that what you want?" "Not like this." "You killed Curtis Peck, you put my daughter on the inhibitor..." "My daughter, Tom." "You still call me by that name." "Deep down, you must know we're still partners, that we're on the same side." "Tell you what I'm going to do now, Diana." "I'm going to turn around, walk out that door, and you won't be able to pull that trigger." "Goddammit, Tom, stop!"
