The 4400 s02e10 Episode Script

Lockdown

We're not a threat.
|We're salvation.
The world|will have to deal with us.
Previously on the 4400 kevin's a genius,|you know, but he doesn't|brag about it.
Kevin, did you just|speak to me? I haven't said anything|for a long time.
Try six years.
You're saying that burkhoff is the father|of the 4400 technology.
I can think again too.
Kyle never|came home last night.
Kyle said|he blacked out.
You could've come to me,|told me what was going on.
He's your cousin, your friend.
Kyle thinks he did something|during one of his blackouts.
He seemed really|freaked out about it.
This is insane.
Why would kyle want to|shoot jordan collier? If it happened during|one of his blackouts, he wouldn't need a reason.
I don't remember them telling me|to turn my son into a murderer.
I kept hoping|i was wrong about it.
This is not|kyle's doing.
You've got to hold onto that.
Kyle you weren't in control|of your actions, kyle.
You did not kill jordan collier.
Forget about the flight.
|Bring kyle home.
They just arrested a suspect|in the collier killing.
We caught that man, the one that we were|looking for.
It's all over.
Not yet.
Mommy, i'm scared.
I know, baby.
I'm scared too.
But it's|going to be okay, because mommy's here.
Okay? Whatever's|coming through that door i'll protect you.
* so long ago, another life * * i can feel your heart beat * * it's not a dream|remember us * * i can see it in your eyes * * we'll find our place in time * * our place in time|beyond the sun * * we'll find our place in time * * our place in time|to call our own * What the hell does this mean? What is it? Nothing.
Just some crank|it's nothing.
Guess it's|jordan collier's birthday.
The state of washington|gave him a birthday present.
Did you read this? They're talking like it's|an open-and-shut case.
He made threats against collier.
Two witnesses|picked him out of a lineup.
But they're wrong.
Roy marsden|didn't kill jordan collier.
And neither did you, kyle.
You told me|he'd never see a courtroom.
They want to execute this guy.
It's not going to happen, kyle.
No one can put him|up on that roof.
Any any public defender will have a motion to dismiss|in front of a judge by this time next week.
What if you're wrong? What if they find him guilty? What am i supposed to do?|Nothing? Marsden has been|in and out of jail since he was 15.
Theft, assault,|attempted rape but he didn't kill anybody.
And he's not going to be|convicted of it, kyle.
I'm not going to let it happen.
Neither will i.
Kyle, it's not going to be easy, but you're going to|have to start putting all this|behind you.
It's your first day|back at school, and i want you|focused and fierce, and thinking about "a"s.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Sweetie mrs.
Benke's|going to be here any minute.
It's time to get up.
I don't feel good.
You've got a real fever,|young lady.
Hey, how long|have you had that? Dishonest? No, no, no.
I don't think|we're being dishonest at all.
Human beings use less than 20%|of their brain capacity.
Everything else is just collecting cobwebs.
Here at the 4400 center, we're trying to tap into|that unused potential.
So your own ability, you believe it stems|from increased brainpower? Show me|another explanation.
Look, whether you believe|that we were taken to the future or not, somebody did change us, and they used technology|to do it.
We're just trying|to figure out how and share it.
But "first keys," "second keys," "unlocking|the ability inside you" you have to admit|that the terminology is more religious|than scientific.
Well, the movement|is part faith, part science.
It's a potent combination.
So what time was|your appointment for? They told me 11:15 but they always tell me 11:15.
I never get in|before 12:00, 12:30.
Hey, free health care, right? So what if they're so slow? Compulsory free health care.
You don't show up|for a quarterly checkup, you've got the goon squad|knocking at your door.
You don't like it? Don't show.
Doubt they'd slap the cuffs|on someone's grandma.
Does it itch at all? No wonder you wanted|to stay in bed.
Is it some kind of flu? Most likely.
Is it okay if we keep her here|for a few hours? I want to go home.
I know you do,|honey, but dr.
Hudson is going to|take very good care of you, and i'll look in on you|as often as i can.
I wish i brought lemon.
That's her stuffed dog.
Let me guess.
He's yellow.
Yeah.
Well, i could go back|and get him.
You have a very nice mommy.
I try.
About this rash now, i worked at the c.
d.
c.
|For seven years, and i never saw|anything like it.
It's kind of|a weird shape, huh? Yeah.
Don't read|too much into it.
It could still be|hives an allergic reaction.
We'll take care of it.
Sweetie,|you'll be okay here if i go get lemon? Okay, my darling.
Bye, darling.
When daddy's away, he misses isabelle|so much.
But traveling|around the country, talking to all sorts of people, clueing them in about my life it's kind of fun.
Shawn's amazing.
This woman comes in.
Her c.
a.
t.
Scan says she's got a brain tumor|the size of a walnut.
Good as new.
Hmm.
I'll feed her.
She's not hungry yet.
How do you know? She told me|before you came in.
So she's talking to me.
Communicating.
Same as she does|with you.
Since when? This morning.
I thought you'd be happy.
First time|she ever said anything to me.
That's great.
It's just she hasn't said anything to me|for weeks.
I wouldn't worry about it.
It's just how|you used to tell me kids always alternate|between parents.
It's normal just with isabelle,|it comes with a twist.
This is|major charles culp of the national|security agency's field enforcement|division.
D.
c.
Has loaned us|his services.
Effective immediately, the major and his team|will be providing backup in any 4400 cases requiring|armed intervention.
We know this office|bears a heavy caseload, and we're here|to help when needed.
Welcome aboard.
Hope you guys are up to it, 'cause i'm going to have you|on speed dial.
We'll stay out of your way, let you do your jobs.
When the time comes,|we hope you'll return the favor.
Well, the last lady|that we went up against released poison spores|from her palms, so, uh if you want to|track her down instead of me by all means.
My men and i|are used to unique challenges.
How long|have we been asking for tactical support? Eight months.
I guess someone up there|likes us.
You guys|check your emails this morning? "Happy birthday,|jordan collier"? Everyone|in the building got that one.
Maybe marco should have|one of his guys try to backtrack it.
They already did.
It came|from a public terminal in an internet cafe.
It was|a new email account.
Nice to know collier's still got|his fans.
What's that? It's valerian root|or something.
I don't know.
|Alana swears by it.
They calm me down a little.
My suggestion?|Double your dosage.
The baldwin trigger has been|a little "hair" lately.
My girlfriend agrees with you.
I need you|to cover me for an hour.
Maia's got the flu or something, and hudson wants her|to spend the day here.
She okay? I'm sure|it's nothing.
I mean, i was sure that it was|the bubonic plague, but her doctor tells me|that it's nothing.
So you plowed|into some guy and got away with it? That's kind of a weird way|to put it.
Well, the perks of having a dad|at n.
t.
a.
c.
, i guess.
And this guy you hit,|how messed up was he? I can't really talk about it.
You know, it's lawyer stuff.
Who am i|going to tell? I broke both his legs|and his collarbone.
That's it? He was in a car, danny.
It's not like i mowed over|a pedestrian.
Yeah, but you kept talking about|this "awful thing" you did.
I thought you killed somebody.
What? Well, thanks a lot, man.
So did shawn.
Well, sorry|to disappoint you guys.
Well, look,|do me a favor, okay? If you get|in trouble again, tell somebody.
There's nothing you can|tell me or shawn that we can't handle.
Next time i black out|and have a car accident, you'll be the first to know.
Yeah, long as i'm not|riding shotgun.
Oh, hey, listen, you want to go see|arcade fire with me on friday night, or do you have to|stay home and nurse your|guilty conscience? No nursing.
I'll go.
Yeah?|I'll go.
All right.
It's good to have you back.
Good to be back.
I got to go.
Okay.
|See you.
You hear that? That buzz? What is it? What? Is that coming from your gadget? Is what coming|from my gadget? That noise.
I don't hear anything.
Neither do i.
What is|that noise? You hear that? What's going on? I've got, like,|a headache.
[Men's voices rising,|becoming confrontational.]
Why|is my signature on this requisition? Because|i had to get it in! Do not sign my name|on another report.
They sit on your desk|for weeks.
If there's a space|for my signature, it should be|my signature! Foster and mcclenahan are tearing|each other apart by the elevator.
[Tom.]
: Right|before this started, there was a noise.
I didn't hear anything.
Yeah, well,|the rest of us did! Sorry there was some kind|of high-pitched whine, and we got another one|of those emails.
It said, "have fun trying to survive|the day.
" Show me.
Okay, everybody|try to stay calm.
If this noise|or signal did something|to you you've got to|fight it.
What did i just tell you? X you saw it.
She pulled her weapon first.
I was defending myself how is she? Breathing.
She's bleeding|pretty bad.
Get her to medical.
Park is under arrest.
Crowley, restrain him.
Baldwin, what are you doing? Until we know what's going on, nobody gets in|and nobody goes out.
What's going on? Who's a very|good girl? Isabelle is.
Isabelle's|a smartie.
Glad to see you guys|are having fun.
Lily.
I didn't expect|to see you till 5:00.
Well, i'm taking|an early lunch.
I thought|i'd take isabelle out to the garden.
That sounds fun.
Doesn't it, little girl? Oh, i use flash cards|with her all the time.
Let's see if i can|find an apple.
It's her favorite.
What is this? Someone's been|mixing up our cards.
I've told them|a million times.
What do you|use these for? These don't belong|in the nursery.
I think they use them|for the applicants.
Part of their|psych profile.
Sorry.
Okay, isabelle.
Going to go|with mommy.
Okay.
See you real soon.
Well, the movement|is part faith, part science.
It's a potent combination.
The movement's 100,000 members would certainly agree, but kevin burkhoff, a neuroscientist at western washington|university, thinks otherwise.
Uh, i don't question|anybody's faith.
Why should i? Faith is a good thing, right? But what they're doing|over there at the center has nothing to do|with science.
I mean, you tell me how fasting,|meditation, and chanting can alter, in any way,|your neurochemistry.
It's preposterous.
It's a good scam,|but still preposterous.
"Scam.
"|That's a strong word.
[Burkhoff.]
: it fits.
They're taking|this kernel of truth about the brain's|potential, and using it to bilk people|out of their life savings.
[Interviewer.]
:|A lot of people might be surprised|by your stance.
After all, you suffered from|paranoid personality disorder for years.
Wasn't it a device|engineered by a 4400 that cured you? Yes, and i'm grateful, but you need|to make the distinction between the 4400|and the 4400 center.
4400s have|remarkable abilities everybody knows it but the center is co-opting|that phenomenon for profit.
Those machines|they're hooking people up to? They might as well|not even be plugged in.
If you ask me, he still looks|rather demented.
He seemed pretty sane to me,|matthew, especially|when he was ripping us shawn, don't overreact.
It's just one interview.
You did good, though.
[Quietly.]
: Yeah.
Garrity,|give me the gun.
Look, this is crazy,|baldwin.
How are we going to|defend ourselves? Whoever's doing this|wants us to attack each other.
If we stay armed, we're dead|by the end of the day.
If we don't,|we'll be slaughtered.
Look, everyone in the building is under the effects|of this thing, okay? The cafeteria staff could be|forming an army right now.
Which is why i'll find out|who's doing this and stop it.
They're doing checkups|in the medical lab today.
That means|there's 4400s in the building.
You think that one of them|is behind this? [Calmly.]
: I don't know, but right now,|it's all i have to go on.
You? Who put you in command? He's not.
I am.
This building is the target|of a 4400 terrorist attack.
It is now|a military situation.
This is great, baldwin.
Why don't you explain|to these guys why they should just|lay down their arms, huh? Major culp,|the signal, whatever it is, it's like someone set off|a rage bomb.
It's pumping up|the aggression of everybody|in the building.
The men, anyway.
We cannot be walking around|with loaded firearms.
My team's trained to resist|psychological pressure tactics.
This is a 4400 ability.
You can't resist it.
[Park.]
: There's 4400s|down in the med lab.
It's probably one of them|doing it.
Baldwin was just|headed down there right now.
Cartwright, watch them.
Everyone else,|with me.
Just wait.
Wait.
What are you|going to do? I'm going to find out which one of them's|responsible for this.
And then what? I'm going to make sure|that it stops.
Be careful.
There's a little girl|down there.
If it's not her, then she has|nothing to worry about.
You have to let me out! We got to get out! We're going to|get killed! Would you stop saying that|already? It's not helping.
[Kyle.]
: An "a?"|That's great.
But what's my name|doing on here? Well, we're|lab partners, right? This is our|presentation.
But i haven't met with you|in almost three weeks.
I didn't type a word of this.
Well, it's not like|you didn't do anything.
You said you wanted|to do a paper on mitosis.
You stained the slides.
One or two of them, maybe.
Look you were in trouble, right? I just figured that whatever it was, you could probably do without|an "incomplete" in bio.
I still don't know|if i deserve this, but thank you.
What can i say? I have a soft spot|for stray cats.
I look that pathetic? Hardly.
You're shooting up? Doesn't exactly|fill me with confidence.
It's a sedative.
If i lose control and become like everyone else|in this place, i can't help you|anymore.
What's happening|to my agents? I don't feel|any different, but they're all|going crazy.
Dr.
Hudson? I feel worse.
You shouldn't be out of bed.
[Jarvis.]
: Sweetie,|what's that on your arm? [Trucks approaching,|men barking orders.]
Skouris, n.
t.
a.
c.
|I need to get past.
Building's|locked down.
Well, what's going on? Security breach from the inside.
That's all we know.
I have to get through.
That's not going to happen.
You don't understand.
My daughter's in there.
Well, I can do myself.
Turn around.
Hold still.
I can't believe|you broke my nose.
Yeah, well, you broke my knuckle|when i hit you.
But i'm still right.
The signal|is constant.
It doesn't matter if you can|hear it or not.
It's like a dog whistle.
It's one pulse,|and it'll wear off.
We just have to|wait it out Both of you guys shut up! I'm trying to get work done.
Not a good time, diana.
Marco,|what's going on in there? Depends on|who you ask.
Somebody's definitely|set off a whammy in here.
Something's pumping up our "fight or flight"|instincts.
Heavy emphasis|on the "fight" part.
Well, marco,|i need to get inside, and i need your help.
Every male in this building|has got a gallon of adrenaline coursing through his veins|right now.
And most of them are armed.
If you're on the outside,|stay there.
Listen to me, marco.
Maia is inside,|and i need to get to her.
Do you have access|to the building schematics? Uh, yeah.
I can pull them up.
Do it.
And what do i get in return? Well, we can|talk about that later.
Good.
Good.
I'm going to hold you to that.
Get off me.
|You're in my space! Hang on.
|You're in my space! Guys! Settle it later! We've got to get skouris|into the building.
I said|get on your knees.
I just need|to take these.
They're|keeping me calm.
Little late for that.
You sure you don't want one? They might help.
Cut us loose.
|Come on.
Cut me free.
Get some cuffs.
Put them|on commando-boy.
Then you can|let everybody else go.
Hey, hey,|where are you going? I'm going|to the med labs.
Hopefully the major|met some resistance along the way.
What kind of tests? You mean|like an i.
q.
Thing? I don't know, richard.
Those flash cards|were weird, and after we got back,|i was changing her.
She has these marks on her skin.
Marks? Bruises? No.
Like irritations.
Like someone had her|hooked up to something.
Let me see.
They faded.
Richard don't look at me|like that.
I'm not imagining things.
She's not going back|to that nursery.
Lily all you've been talking about|is how much you love ruth and the nursery, and how much isabelle|seems to love it there.
I wish you'd|been there.
I mean, ruth, she had this weird smile|on her face.
Think about|what you're saying.
Nobody's doing tests on her|at the nursery.
You know,|i know you feel like she's|shutting you out, and no offense, but maybe this is|an overreaction.
Can i take her|for a second? No.
Lily, what are you doing? I'm sorry.
It's just this place.
I feel like|it's changing everything, like it's changing us.
Okay we're okay.
|Everything's okay.
The meditation courses,|the synaptic potential readers, and our purification seminars that's half|our curriculum you're putting|on the chopping block.
We don't need them,|matthew.
Jordan seemed|to think we did.
Jordan's|not here anymore, is he? Besides, that burkhoff guy|is right a bunch of chanting is not going to|unlock the 4400 inside of anyone.
Whether it will|or it won't, the product is selling.
Wait, wait, wait.
"product?" This is not a pyramid scheme,|matthew.
People|are coming here, they're looking|to be changed.
They're looking for answers.
And we'll find them, but if we change, we look weak.
For now, all that matters is that people believe|in what we're doing.
I need to believe in it, too.
Nobody move! They're gone.
|They all took off.
Who are you? Roger wolcott.
I'm just here|for my checkup.
The 4400? Why else would i be here? Now cut me loose! That's not going to|hold anybody.
Not for long.
Let's hope|no one finds us.
What do you think|our chances are? The calmer we are,|the longer we stay alive.
How are you doing,|sweetie? [Weakly.]
:|I feel all sweaty, and it's getting|hard to breathe.
Poor baby.
I have something for you.
Lemon.
Yeah.
As soon as this is over, i'm going to get you|to the hospital, okay? All right.
I'm guessing|you don't have a stuffed animal|for me.
Maybe a fifth|of jack daniels? Sorry.
Looks like it's|starting to clot.
You need another shot|for pain? No.
You need the sedatives|more than i do.
How many shots have you taken? Three.
And you're still on your feet? Shouldn't that have knocked you|on your ass by now? Well, on a normal day, i'd be out|for the next 12 hours, but today, it's barely enough|to keep me sane.
Well, thank you for keeping maia safe.
She's a sweet kid.
Listen, diana look, i've only got|three shots left.
They're wearing off|a little faster each time, so i don't want|to hurt anybody.
I don't want to kill anybody.
So if i start to go oh, don't worry.
|I'll take care of you.
Do me a favor back of the head, okay? You'll never|see it coming.
Now, listen, hudson look, i just|gave you permission to blow my head off.
Why don't you call me max? All right, max.
About this signal which one of these bitches|do you think is sending it? I don't see what this|has to do with anything.
Hey, you wanted|to know my story.
Well, right now,|you're living it.
Open your eyes.
Now, imagine three years went by|while you had them shut.
Can't do it.
Neither could i but they were gone.
I missed senior year|of high school, which is supposedly|the best year ever.
I got robbed.
The rest of high school|just sucked.
So this blackout|that you had behind the wheel, that was some sort|of after-effect of the coma? Yeah.
Wow.
God, you've been through|so much.
You're jealous? What part sounds good? The coma? The hit and run? I'm jealous because you have|all this experience under your belt.
It makes you|interesting.
[Weakly.]
:|But i didn't do it.
It wasn't me.
Great, so now someone|can kill me in my sleep.
How do you know|it's one of us? Well, i don't, but none of you|are talking, and so i'm about|out of options.
This isn't going to make|a damn bit of difference.
That's it.
No more sedatives.
Can you still function|as a doctor? For now.
Kind of busy here, diana.
We just put the 4400s under, but we're not sure|if that's killed the signal.
Do you still feel amped up? Yes, i do, okay? I'm working on it from my end.
What's that noise? I'm trying to counter|the effects of the signal.
If you'd just shut up|for a second, maybe i could find|the right frequency [diana.]
: Okay, calm down, marco.
I need you to do this.
It always has to be me,|doesn't it? Old, reliable marco|does whatever you want.
I truly believe in what|we're trying to do.
The 4400|are the template for the next stage|in human evolution.
Do you mind backing up? You're standing|a little close.
We can recreate|the technology they used|to change us.
Not by chanting "om"|three times, you can't.
Agreed but if you come to work with us, we could|get somewhere.
You know, the government|has approached me a half-dozen times.
They seem to have|this bizarre theory i'm the father|of this new branch of science.
I turned them down.
I don't like working|with people with badges.
Listen, you can't blame them|for being curious.
You were|in a mental hospital for six years? The future busted its ass|to get you working again.
I haven't forgotten my debts.
And besides, the government|cannot offer you what i can.
Oh? What's that? Signing bonus?|Fancy car? Me.
I'm the poster boy,|right? Healing hands.
Unlimited access.
Can you really|turn that down? Mommy, i'm scared.
I know, baby.
I'm scared too.
But it's|going to be okay, because mommy's here.
Okay? Whatever's|coming through that door i'll protect you.
Tom.
Tom put the gun down.
It's me.
It's diana.
No, you'll you'll shoot me|if i put it down.
No, tom.
I don't want to hurt you.
Well, i want to hurt you, diana.
Tom i said calm down.
My mom always wanted me to hit it off|with a cute doctor, but make another move,|and i will pull this trigger.
What is that? That'd be marco|earning his paycheck.
I feel like an idiot.
It's just isabelle and i were so close|for so long.
And you still are.
I know.
It's like you say she's a baby.
It isn't personal.
Yeah, you just have to|remember that.
Hey, ruth,|look who's back.
That was a long lunch.
Yeah, sorry.
|Time got away from us.
Come on.
Here you are.
we'll be back in an hour|for her.
We'll be here.
Thank you.
Bye, isabelle.
I'd still like to do|a little house-hunting.
We could take a look around,|see what's out there.
[Jarvis.]
: You're in charge|until i'm released.
Pool whatever manpower|is still up walking.
Start picking up|the pieces.
[Tom.]
: I'll handle it.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
And you get that head looked at.
How are you doing? Well, for a slender lady,|you pack a punch.
I can't take all the credit.
Culp softened you up|a little bit.
It's the final tally.
Three agents dead,|two n.
s.
a.
Operatives, a 4400 concussions,|broken bones, stab wounds yikes.
It's tough to swallow.
It was a major attack,|and we weren't ready.
Yeah.
How are you, baby? Okay.
Not so good.
I've got her|on glucose and erythromycin.
We're going to get her|over to st.
Michael's and see if we can|bring that fever down.
And the rash? I'm going to|bring in a specialist.
Should i be worried? Brett kellerman is one of the best|dermatologists in the city.
I'm sure|he'll figure it out.
You're coming with us, right? Of course.
I'll be right there|in the ambulance with you.
All right,|i'll get to the hospital as soon as i can.
Okay.
Oh, max yeah.
Thank you|for everything.
No, thank you, for well, for not putting one|in the back of my head.
Uh, so those 4400s|diana was protecting they're not going to|see daylight until n.
t.
a.
c.
's sure they're not|responsible for this.
That's going to be a marathon|debriefing session.
Yeah, i bet you|they'll both be up all night.
Both? I thought diana said|there was three of them.
Tom? She's gone.
[Tom.]
: A 4400|nearly took down a fortified|government facility, and walked away without breaking|a sweat.
Do they even have|a name for that? Yeah, "terrorism.
" Welcome to the center.
Would you like to sign up|for the tour? No.
Tell shawn farrell that kevin burkhoff|is here to see him.
I'm sorry.
Mr.
Farrell's|busy at the moment.
Is there a message|i can pass along? Yes.
I want to get started|immediately.
