The 4400 s02e12 Episode Script
Mommy's Bosses
We're not a threat.
|We're salvation.
The world|will have to deal with us.
Previously on the 4400 [Tom.]
:|They just arrested a suspect in the Collier killing.
Roy Marsden didn't kill|Jordan Collier.
And neither did you, Kyle.
Son of a bitch! You go and you|tell your daddy that he didn't kill anybody.
If Maia's having visions, you should know about it, and you should know|what they are.
[Maia.]
: Mommy's bosses|will be punished for betraying us.
I want to go home.
I know you do, honey, but Dr.
Hudson is going to take|very good care of you.
Don't tell anyone|i can't heal.
Sure.
What are you going to do? What i have to.
[Richard.]
:|If you're sick, the responsible thing|is to report to NTAC, but if you are well walking into quarantine|is an easy step, but walking out, that might be|considerably more difficult.
There's a synthetic substance|present in the blood of every 4400.
They even gave it a name.
|They call it "promicin inhibitor.
" Every time|they came to NTAC medical, every checkup.
Your daughter|is the rosetta stone for understanding|what happened to the 4400.
We're her parents.
|We decide.
Are you sure|you want to do this? Just get me and isabelle|someplace safe.
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.
We tried being reasonable.
In 10 hours,|we start rounding them up.
[Siren wailing.]
[Grunts.]
Easy, Mccullough.
Let me go! I'm not sick! There's nothing wrong with me! We know that,|but you're a 4400, and everybody's|got to go in.
Come on Now, I don't want|to cuff you, but if you run again, you're going to|give me no choice.
"Quarantine"|is just a word to you guys.
Try living it.
Come on.
What are we|doing here, Diana? This is so wrong.
All right,|what do you suggest? We walk into|the middle of NTAC, and shout out,|"we did this.
We made them sick.
" Yeah, yeah, that's good start.
We've got the medical records.
|We can take them to dennis.
You really think that max hudson|and a couple of rogue doctors hatched a covert plan|to poison the 4400? I mean, you really think|that they could do that without approval? Whose approval? Dennis ryland's, for one.
He was the head|of this division when this whole thing|started.
I mean, you think|he didn't know? Until we know|how far up this goes, we've got to stay calm,|work quietly and watch our backs.
Don't tell me to calm down,|lily.
How am i supposed to be calm when my wife and daughter|left in the middle of the night? We didn't leave you, richard.
I just didn't feel|like isabelle was safe there.
You've turned this|resisting quarantine into your|personal mission.
NTAC turned it|into my personal mission when they started|rounding us up.
And i admire|what you're doing, but it's not my fight, and i sure as hell won't let it|become isabelle's fight.
Just tell me where you are.
Put my mind at ease.
I'll come see you.
Lily? I'm sorry.
I just feel like|it's better this way for now.
I'll call soon.
That didn't go as well|as mommy hoped.
911.
please state|the nature of i need an ambulance.
I'm i'm sick.
I've got this hello? Hello? Miss, are you there? Never mind.
Think they're sharing|trade secrets? Either that, or she's asking|for her office back.
After you.
Thanks.
Nina.
Good to see you.
Thanks.
I wish the circumstances|were a little better.
We lost the first 4400s to this thing|overnight.
Seven dead.
There'll be more|by day's end.
No word about a vaccine,|a cure? [Jarvis.]
: I just got|off the phone with hudson.
He said that they've worked|on a few things overnight.
I'm going to quarantine.
Diana i know this is frustrating, but we've got|the best minds in the country, in the world, working on this.
Well, they better work fast.
|Seven people are dead.
Alana could be next, or Maia, and still, nobody has any idea|where this came from, do they? We'll get it figured out.
Hey, sweetie.
It's me, Tom.
Who are you? [Weakly.]
:|Who are you? She was awake earlier.
Only for a few|minutes, though.
Did she say anything? She talked about you.
Said you were going to|make everything okay.
I hope she's right.
Me too.
Let's go.
Where are we headed? We've got|an appointment with the good doctor|hudson.
Diana, what what the hell|are you doing? We've got some things|we need to talk about.
* 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 * We may have wondered how too soon.
This guy your agents brought in,|orson bailey, i think i can explain|how he developed this jesus,|i can't even say the word.
Telekinesis.
Thank you.
The body produces four|main neurotransmitters.
They're like traffic cops|to the brain.
They control everything,|regulate everything.
Tell me something i don't know.
Bailey is producing|a fifth neurotransmitter.
We've never seen it before.
Nobody has.
I'm guessing|it factors into bailey's ability to bend spoons with his mind.
Let's just say|promicin is basically a backstage pass to the v.
i.
p.
Section|of the brain.
He is using|parts of the cerebellum no human has ever had access to.
I ran some tests|on the 4400s who are still|in quarantine.
Every single one of them is producing trace amounts|of promicin.
So it's just a matter of time before every 4400|develops telekinesis? Promicin's behavior|is unpredictable.
They might not get telekinesis, but they'll get something.
Put everything on paper.
I want to get|my talking points straight before i try to explain this|to d.
c.
D.
c.
Panicked.
I was ordered to work on a drug to suppress|the production of promicin in the 4400.
Once i synthesized|the inhibitor, we gave it to every 4400, every time they came in|for a checkup.
But it doesn't even work.
A small percentage of them are, but if it wasn't|for the inhibitor, they'd all have them.
I know it didn't|work perfectly.
"Perfectly?" Seven 4400s died last night.
It was your inhibitor|that did it.
You made them sick! You think|i don't know that? We weren't trying|to kill anyone.
We were preserving|the status quo, doing a good thing.
I guess it backfired.
I am trying to undo it, but if you want to|pull that trigger, please, be my guest.
Maybe then|finally i'll get some sleep.
All right.
If you're not going to shoot me,|let me get back to work.
I don't want anyone else to die.
Alison?|What are you doing here? They're going to|give roy life.
They're going to|give him life, and he's|going to take it.
What are you|talking about? The state was going to go|for the death penalty, and the public defender|convinced roy to take a plea bargain.
But they've got no case|against him.
My dad told me.
I don't know.
This lawyer, he's handling, like,|10 different cases, and he just|doesn't want to see the inside|of a courtroom.
I don't know.
But he didn't do it, okay? He didn't kill Jordan Collier.
You keep saying that.
Does your dad know something? What? Is there evidence|that they're hiding? What?|You have to tell me.
If roy takes this deal, he can't even get parole|for 20 years.
He's not going to prison.
Why? The 4400 came back august 14th.
Hudson discovered promicin|october 11th.
So they probably gave the first doses|of the inhibitor sometime around|the end of the month.
But we have every|internal document for october.
There's nothing|about any of this.
There's hardly even|a mention of orson bailey.
We both wrote reports|about him, Diana.
They're gone.
They were hoping that was going to be|the only extrahuman ability ever developed in a 4400.
If they destroy|all records of it nobody would ever know.
But this went to the top|of the food chain.
Here.
Britain, france,|korea everywhere there's a sick 4400.
There has to be a paper trail.
Does it even matter? I mean,|we could find a memo signed by the entire|united nations security council.
It's not going to cure anyone.
Diana, we delivered|confidential medical records to dr.
Burkhoff.
We've got the so-called|"father of 4400 technology" working on the case, and you just|stuck a gun to the head of NTAC's|medical director.
We've done everything we can to get the right people|working on a cure.
That's if NTAC|even wants a cure.
Ryland's been talking|about people in d.
c.
Who've been on a wartime footing|for months.
This is nothing|but a stroke of luck for them.
You think|they want them all dead? I told you! I told you|i wasn't safe here.
It's just a precaution, kevin.
We think|you'll just be safer if you move to|a less exposed location.
It's because|i told you about that inhibitor|thing, right? I spent six years|in a psychiatric hospital suffering from paranoid|personality disorder.
As soon as i get out, you two put me|smack in the middle of a massive|conspiracy.
Dr.
Burkhoff's been spinning|all kinds of stories about NTAC.
Very interesting stuff.
Well, he can spin all the theories|he wants, just not here.
I'll make sure|he has a safe place to work.
I figured out what promicin is.
That's the name they gave|the neurotransmitter, right? The one that gives the 4400|their abilities? And if i can find|one 4400 that hasn't been exposed|to the inhibitor, i think i can neutralize it.
Hey.
You scared me.
Why didn't you use|your key? Oh, sorry.
|My hands were full.
I brought you guys|some supplies.
You still like chocolate cherry? That sounds great.
Thank you.
Oh you okay? Yeah, just jumpy.
It's so quiet out here.
Yeah, a lot of places|have closed up for the season.
Oh, i thought that, uh maybe i could stay for|a little dinner or something.
You don't have to|get back home? No, not really.
Carol's gone.
She found out that you and i|were talking.
Don't worry,|she doesn't know you're here, but she got mad.
Brian, i'm sorry.
She'll stay away|for a few nights.
I'll stay on the couch|for a while but in the meantime, heidi's staying with a friend, and i figured,|why eat alone? Sure, but i hope|you're not expecting much.
I haven't made pot roast|in a while.
You know, lily,|the truth is i never|should have married carol in the first place.
What are you doing, brian? Come on.
I'm alone.
You're alone.
You and richard aren't happy.
That's not true.
We could have it back, lily.
Don't, brian.
Why are you|fighting it? Brian, stop it!|Let me go! I don't want to hurt you, lily! Stop it! You little bitch.
Hello? [Brian.]
: lily?|Are you okay? Brian? Yeah, i was going to|bring by some food.
Don't.
Something's not right here.
I haven't heard from the safe house|in wheeling for a day.
We have to assume|it's been compromised.
That's the third one|that's gone silent.
They're picking us off|one by one.
We might want to think|about fighting back.
We can do that, richard.
We certainly have 4400s|that can do some damage, but once|we take that step, there's no turning back.
Excuse me, but shouldn't there be|bars on these windows? The point is to be unobtrusive,|dr.
Burkhoff.
Well, this seems a little lax to me.
Most of you are 4400s.
I'm a collaborator.
You know what they do|to collaborators? [Quietly.]
:|We need to get him working.
It calms him down considerably.
We cleared out a room for you.
Anything you need,|just let us know.
What i need is a clean 4400, one that hasn't been exposed|to the inhibitor.
I don't guess|you've got one of those, do you? Actually, i might.
i've never seen you pour a drink|on government property.
I never supervised a round-up|of innocent citizens before.
Conscience bothering you,|dennis? Hell, yes it is and given the circumstances,|i'd say that's a good sign, but i'm trying to focus|on my job, Tom and i need the same from you.
But sometimes when you you look for one thing,|you you learn something else.
You know how it is, dennis.
[Ryland.]
:|I know exactly what you mean.
I've learned some things|myself.
Open it.
Knowledge is a burden, huh, Tom? Did you think that i would release Kyle|from quarantine and not keep an eye on him? Why didn't you stop this? Because i didn't know exactly what Kyle|was going to do.
I just sort of let the future|play out.
Isn't that what|you're always talking about? You set up roy marsden.
That was my gift to you, Tom.
Would you rather i just turn these over|to my bosses? I would rather|you be the friend you be the ryland|i worked with for 20 years.
I haven't changed.
I have a tough job,|and i'm doing my best, and as your boss, and as your friend, i expect support.
Kyle hated quarantine.
I wonder what he'd think of prison.
They know.
NTAC knows|you shot Collier.
What? How? They've known all along.
|They let it happen.
I need you to be ready|to get out of here.
I'm going to call|alana's friends.
You're sending me to spain? If they come|after you, i need you to be ready|to leave right away.
Did you hear roy marsden's|being sent to jail for life? They set him up.
But if i run just one thing at a time, Kyle.
Let me worry about you,|then i will deal with marsden.
So you want me|to start packing? Yeah, Kyle! Aren't you|hearing me? [Diana.]
: He committed suicide? I know that max was under|a lot of strain, but he had all those people's lives|in his hands.
Maia's i know, but dr.
Pinero's been|hudson's number two from the very beginning.
He knows everything|that hudson knew.
We're still going to|beat this thing.
Good morning, Tom.
Nina.
Here.
I grabbed this|out of your mail cubby.
Did you hear|about hudson? Yeah.
You okay? They're calling it|a suicide.
What are you calling it? Tom, look at this.
It's from max.
"Firewall memo.
" What is that? I don't know.
Why are you doing this,|isabelle? Mommy needs to know.
I brought you here|so we could be safe.
Don't you want that? [Pounding on door.]
Lily, what's going on|out here? You okay? No.
Go away! I told you not to come here! That's why i'm here.
Lily, please, let me in.
How do i know you're real? What are you|talking about? Of course i'm real.
Did carol leave you? Why would she leave me? Lily, i'm coming in,|okay? No.
No! No! Lily whoa, whoa,|whoa, whoa.
Lily put down the knife.
Please.
I just came|to check on you guys, make sure|you were okay.
Look, it's me.
Brian.
Put the knife down.
Lily, we're all going to die.
|Is that what you want? No! Stop it, isabelle! Lily, i heard screaming.
|What is going on? Brian if you're real,|you've got to get me out.
Isabelle|doesn't want to be here.
Firewall it's a program,|a safety net.
That's how|you keep viruses off your hard drive.
Okay, did you ever see a memo with the word "firewall"|written in the subject line? No, but i don't read|most of the memos that circulate|around here anyway.
Look, how long|are you guys going to be|working in here? What, are they painting|your offices? We need a little privacy, okay? Tom, this memo,|whatever it is, i doubt it ever went out|on a general distribution, and every copy probably went|through the shredder months ago.
So if there's no hard copy, and if marco is the only one|we even trust to even|talk about it with, then we're at a dead end.
We could always|march into ryland's office and ask him about it.
[Marco.]
: The guy|does know memos.
When he was working here, i must have thrown away,|like, 15 every day.
More like 20.
He liked to|keep his keyboard burning.
Who, ryland? Yeah.
He didn't type.
He used to|call me in sometimes when he froze up|his computer.
Hunt-and-peck city.
Took him 10 minutes|to type in an email address.
Ryland dictated everything|to his secretary.
She had "l" level|security clearance.
Look.
"D.
r.
/j.
o.
" Everything says|"d.
r.
/j.
o.
" "D.
r.
,"|dennis ryland.
And "j.
o.
" is jane orman.
She worked for him|for 22 years.
Did she stay in seattle? Say hi for me.
Lily.
You came back.
Are you all right? [Lily.]
: I thought|i was doing the smart thing, but isabelle what happened? She just wanted to be with you,|and this place i don't know.
Hey.
Did you miss daddy? Yeah? Well,|he missed you.
Both of you.
Listen, i'm, uh i'm going to take off.
Brian thank you for everything.
Hey, uh do me a favor forget this address, forget about|all of us, and i'll forget you drove off with my wife in the middle|of the night.
Good luck, lil.
Hey, i've been|calling you all day.
There's a guy here|who thinks that isabelle excuse me.
Didn't anyone hear|that car pull up is that her? I think|there's somebody here who wants to meet you.
This is isabelle.
What are we|supposed to say? "You know that|massive conspiracy "to suppress|the abilities "of the 4400? "We were just|kind of hoping you would fill us in|on the particulars.
" Yeah,|"and don't be nervous, "but we had to shake|a government tail on the way here|to do it.
" Yeah, sounds|like a start.
Tom baldwin.
Long time, jane.
Do you remember my partner,|Diana skouris? Of course.
Yeah.
Hi.
I always wondered|who would show up.
I should have figured|it'd be the two of you.
You're here about firewall,|right? Come on in.
The inhibitor|hasn't been tested.
It is not ready.
[Ryland.]
:|One of the 4400 is a serial killer who was using,|i don't know, some kind|of mind control to get people|to commit murder.
The inhibitor's ready.
This is wrong, dennis.
We are beyond|right and wrong here! There's no precedent for this.
Now, d.
c.
's been advised|of the operation.
It's been approved|at the highest level.
There is nothing further|to discuss, is there? I am not doing this.
I took it home with me|that night.
The next day,|i put in my notice.
I mean, you have to understand, for two decades, i thought that dennis ryland|was the finest man i ever met, and after i read this,|i couldn't work for him anymore.
I kept telling myself|i should send it somewhere the newspapers, or i don't know but the names that signed off|on this i was just a secretary.
What could i do|against those names? It's all here.
Did you see the names? When Maia said, "mommy's bosses are|going to be punished," i had no idea|she meant all the way up|the chain of command.
We can't go public yet.
What? We can't go public yet.
Listen, the faster|this gets exposed, the better it is|for Maia, alana, shawn all of them.
No more secrets.
No more relying|on the people who did this to find a cure.
At the very least, they're going to|have to rescind the quarantine order.
Diana,|ryland's got something on me.
Ryland? This entire memo|is over his signature.
What could he possibly|have over you? He knows|Kyle killed Jordan Collier.
What? That night|on highland beach, they put someone inside of him,|or some program i don't know directing his actions, and ryland has evidence.
I'm sorry, Tom, but i can't just sit on this! Maia's getting sicker! Just give me one hour, Diana.
Just one hour.
Please.
Stop saying that.
|It's not okay, Kyle.
If i go through|with this, they're going to|come after you, and it doesn't matter if you're in spain|or siberia.
I know, but with all those lives|at stake, you have to do it.
Okay, i'm taking you|to the airport.
Dad i'm not going anywhere.
This actually makes it easier.
I didn't know|how i was going to tell you.
Tell me what? I can't live like this anymore.
I can't live|knowing that guy is in jail.
I go through every day trying to pretend|it's all normal, but it's just a cover-up.
I can't let you do it, Kyle.
Marsden shot at me.
He, uh|he shot at other cops too.
Even if you confess, Kyle,|he is still going to jail.
You try to bury stuff like this,|it changes you.
Look what it did|to your boss.
Ryland used to be your friend.
It's over, dad.
No more lies.
I can't do it anymore.
|I just can't do it.
Okay? You can't stop me.
Okay? Don't you do anything|until i get back.
You hear me? [Ryland.]
: This is|the right thing, the heroic thing, and being a hero|comes with some perks.
You tell me|what i need to know, i'll see that|you're transferred to a private|quarantine facility this afternoon.
You can|walk the grounds, you can choose|your own meals what's wrong with that? That's where|they told me to go.
The inhibitor is piggybacking|on glucose.
It enters the brain through facilitated|diffusion.
It's a binding protein.
That's how|they did it i'll take your word for it.
But this serum has pure promicin|in it.
It can neutralize the charge.
The inhibitor won't be able|to cross membranes anymore.
We can flush it|out of their systems.
So once it's gone,|the disease goes away? Please.
Stop saying "disease.
" For the last time,|it's a side effect.
Remove the inhibitor,|the immune system functions.
It'll happen|virtually instantly.
So this substance promicin.
It's what makes you people|unique.
How did you get it|out of my daughter? She has trace amounts of it in her bloodstream.
Before the inhibitor,|you all did.
That's how they found it in the first place but she's an infant.
I could only draw|enough blood to make one shot.
If you can get that|into quarantine, one shot might be all you need.
Nina, where's ryland? A 4400 gave up|the seattle safe house.
They're on their way|to take it down.
Excuse me.
Please don't shoot.
Dr.
Burkhoff,|why would we shoot you? I have no idea, but i'm feeling|a little insecure right now.
I brought something|for you.
Whatever you do, don't drop it.
Everybody in this house is subject|to quarantine and arrest under emergency order 74.
You have five minutes|to come out peacefully.
If not, we'll come in and get you.
There's an army out there.
Ryland! Call it off.
It's over.
Quarantine.
Everything.
Agent baldwin|is obstructing justice.
Arrest him.
I don't think so,|dennis.
I know about Firewall.
Keep your weapon on him.
You're really willing|to give up your son? Kyle's turning himself in.
He can't live with the cover-up.
When i wrote that memo, we had no idea where|the 4400 were from or why they were|brought back.
Dr.
Hudson|gave me information.
I acted on it, Tom.
If you were in my chair,|you'd have done the same thing.
Hi.
I've got some|medicine for you.
To be honest with you, i'd rather be giving this|to Maia, but a crazy neuroscientist|told me that that was not|the right thing to do, so if you don't mind|holding still for a minute you saw orson bailey|up close and personal.
Oliver knox.
You know what these people|were capable of.
Hell, i attached your reports|to the memo when i sent it to d.
c.
But we learned better, dennis.
Highland beach? "Save the future?" Heartfelt message, Tom, and while they were|giving it to you, they were|programming your son to commit murder.
Does that sound to you like they were|guiding us toward eden? I don't know, but i sure as hell don't want to go|where you're taking me.
Goddammit, Tom! What does it even mean,|"save the future?" Save the future how? Kill us all? Start over|with a smaller, more evolved|population? Is that an outcome|you can live with? What can you|live with, dennis? Was max hudson really a suicide, or did you pull|that little string too? And what about me,|dennis? Because if you're|holding on to any hope of keeping this covered up, you're going to have to start|by putting me in the ground right here and right now.
[Ryland.]
: Tom, you're reducing|the fate of the planet to a question|of your personal faith.
Without the inhibitor program, who the hell knows|what'll happen? Who the hell ever knows? Very wise.
Pithy.
But if the world|turns out to be a place of unchecked|4400 abilities, i hope we don't live|to regret it.
Stand down! We're done here.
You can all go home now.
Thomas.
|Alana.
Alana.
What happened here? A miracle.
Welcome home, baby.
Home i never even unpacked.
We'll take care of that|right now.
Where's Kyle? I can't wait|to see him.
Yeah, i told him|you were coming home.
Hey, Kyle!|We're back! Hey, Kyle.
Man, i never thought i was going|to see you again.
You're okay, right? I feel like i did|15 keg stands last night, but yeah,|pretty much.
We all are.
Dr.
Burkhoff|took blood samples from the people that i healed.
Every sample he gets|cures someone else, so hey, you guys|kind of lucked out, huh? "Lucked out?" There's 23 of us dead, and they don't even have|a final count yet.
I don't think that was|part of the plan, you know? That's not why|they brought us back.
This whole idea that there's some kind|of plan i don't know.
I wish|i could believe that.
Just trust me when i say that there's a plan,|it's important, and every 4400 is a part of it.
Shawn i killed Jordan Collier.
[Softly.]
: What? I bought a rifle, i went up on that roof,|took out two government agents, and then i shot him.
Remember|when i was in trouble? Losing chunks of time? That's what i was doing.
Planning out an assassination.
Why? You think i know? There's something inside me,|shawn or someone.
It takes over.
Those people|who took you? If they have a plan, it includes|me killing Jordan Collier.
That's not true, Kyle! Then why did they|make me do it? Why did they|ruin my life? I'm about|to go to prison for the people|you worship.
You murdered Jordan? I didn't mean i didn't even know|what i was doing, shawn.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Kyle Stop shawn what are you doing? Stop it.
You're killing me.
Shawn i'm freeing you.
Freeing.
Freeing just hold on.
It's working.
Hold on.
I'm going to get it out of you.
Just hold on.
Hold on, Kyle.
It's working.
[Marco.]
: You really|didn't have to do this, you know.
Actually i really think i needed to.
What? Well, you're supposed to say,|"i wanted to.
" Yeah.
Don't push your luck.
Whoa.
uh, looks like they're talking about charging these people|with murder.
Ryland.
The whole crew.
Looks like|mommy's going to get a whole bunch of new bosses.
Well, i hope they go away|for a very long time.
I'll be in the front row|at the hearings.
Guess i have to buy a suit.
I'm going to be|sitting next to you until the whole thing|is over.
Nothing's over.
It's just starting.
Sweetie,|what are you talking about? What's starting? The war.
Kyle i'm ready.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I'll come with you.
* don't close your eyes * * don't close|your eyes * * this is your life * * are you|who you want to be? * * this is your life * * is it everything|you dreamed that it would be? * * when the world was younger * * and you had|everything to lose * * yesterday|is a kid in the corner * * yesterday|is dead and over * * and this is your life * * are you|who you want to be? * * this is your life * * is it everything|you dreamed that it would be? * * when the world was younger * * and you had|everything to lose * [lily.]

I'm isabelle.

|We're salvation.
The world|will have to deal with us.
Previously on the 4400 [Tom.]
:|They just arrested a suspect in the Collier killing.
Roy Marsden didn't kill|Jordan Collier.
And neither did you, Kyle.
Son of a bitch! You go and you|tell your daddy that he didn't kill anybody.
If Maia's having visions, you should know about it, and you should know|what they are.
[Maia.]
: Mommy's bosses|will be punished for betraying us.
I want to go home.
I know you do, honey, but Dr.
Hudson is going to take|very good care of you.
Don't tell anyone|i can't heal.
Sure.
What are you going to do? What i have to.
[Richard.]
:|If you're sick, the responsible thing|is to report to NTAC, but if you are well walking into quarantine|is an easy step, but walking out, that might be|considerably more difficult.
There's a synthetic substance|present in the blood of every 4400.
They even gave it a name.
|They call it "promicin inhibitor.
" Every time|they came to NTAC medical, every checkup.
Your daughter|is the rosetta stone for understanding|what happened to the 4400.
We're her parents.
|We decide.
Are you sure|you want to do this? Just get me and isabelle|someplace safe.
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.
We tried being reasonable.
In 10 hours,|we start rounding them up.
[Siren wailing.]
[Grunts.]
Easy, Mccullough.
Let me go! I'm not sick! There's nothing wrong with me! We know that,|but you're a 4400, and everybody's|got to go in.
Come on Now, I don't want|to cuff you, but if you run again, you're going to|give me no choice.
"Quarantine"|is just a word to you guys.
Try living it.
Come on.
What are we|doing here, Diana? This is so wrong.
All right,|what do you suggest? We walk into|the middle of NTAC, and shout out,|"we did this.
We made them sick.
" Yeah, yeah, that's good start.
We've got the medical records.
|We can take them to dennis.
You really think that max hudson|and a couple of rogue doctors hatched a covert plan|to poison the 4400? I mean, you really think|that they could do that without approval? Whose approval? Dennis ryland's, for one.
He was the head|of this division when this whole thing|started.
I mean, you think|he didn't know? Until we know|how far up this goes, we've got to stay calm,|work quietly and watch our backs.
Don't tell me to calm down,|lily.
How am i supposed to be calm when my wife and daughter|left in the middle of the night? We didn't leave you, richard.
I just didn't feel|like isabelle was safe there.
You've turned this|resisting quarantine into your|personal mission.
NTAC turned it|into my personal mission when they started|rounding us up.
And i admire|what you're doing, but it's not my fight, and i sure as hell won't let it|become isabelle's fight.
Just tell me where you are.
Put my mind at ease.
I'll come see you.
Lily? I'm sorry.
I just feel like|it's better this way for now.
I'll call soon.
That didn't go as well|as mommy hoped.
911.
please state|the nature of i need an ambulance.
I'm i'm sick.
I've got this hello? Hello? Miss, are you there? Never mind.
Think they're sharing|trade secrets? Either that, or she's asking|for her office back.
After you.
Thanks.
Nina.
Good to see you.
Thanks.
I wish the circumstances|were a little better.
We lost the first 4400s to this thing|overnight.
Seven dead.
There'll be more|by day's end.
No word about a vaccine,|a cure? [Jarvis.]
: I just got|off the phone with hudson.
He said that they've worked|on a few things overnight.
I'm going to quarantine.
Diana i know this is frustrating, but we've got|the best minds in the country, in the world, working on this.
Well, they better work fast.
|Seven people are dead.
Alana could be next, or Maia, and still, nobody has any idea|where this came from, do they? We'll get it figured out.
Hey, sweetie.
It's me, Tom.
Who are you? [Weakly.]
:|Who are you? She was awake earlier.
Only for a few|minutes, though.
Did she say anything? She talked about you.
Said you were going to|make everything okay.
I hope she's right.
Me too.
Let's go.
Where are we headed? We've got|an appointment with the good doctor|hudson.
Diana, what what the hell|are you doing? We've got some things|we need to talk about.
* 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 * We may have wondered how too soon.
This guy your agents brought in,|orson bailey, i think i can explain|how he developed this jesus,|i can't even say the word.
Telekinesis.
Thank you.
The body produces four|main neurotransmitters.
They're like traffic cops|to the brain.
They control everything,|regulate everything.
Tell me something i don't know.
Bailey is producing|a fifth neurotransmitter.
We've never seen it before.
Nobody has.
I'm guessing|it factors into bailey's ability to bend spoons with his mind.
Let's just say|promicin is basically a backstage pass to the v.
i.
p.
Section|of the brain.
He is using|parts of the cerebellum no human has ever had access to.
I ran some tests|on the 4400s who are still|in quarantine.
Every single one of them is producing trace amounts|of promicin.
So it's just a matter of time before every 4400|develops telekinesis? Promicin's behavior|is unpredictable.
They might not get telekinesis, but they'll get something.
Put everything on paper.
I want to get|my talking points straight before i try to explain this|to d.
c.
D.
c.
Panicked.
I was ordered to work on a drug to suppress|the production of promicin in the 4400.
Once i synthesized|the inhibitor, we gave it to every 4400, every time they came in|for a checkup.
But it doesn't even work.
A small percentage of them are, but if it wasn't|for the inhibitor, they'd all have them.
I know it didn't|work perfectly.
"Perfectly?" Seven 4400s died last night.
It was your inhibitor|that did it.
You made them sick! You think|i don't know that? We weren't trying|to kill anyone.
We were preserving|the status quo, doing a good thing.
I guess it backfired.
I am trying to undo it, but if you want to|pull that trigger, please, be my guest.
Maybe then|finally i'll get some sleep.
All right.
If you're not going to shoot me,|let me get back to work.
I don't want anyone else to die.
Alison?|What are you doing here? They're going to|give roy life.
They're going to|give him life, and he's|going to take it.
What are you|talking about? The state was going to go|for the death penalty, and the public defender|convinced roy to take a plea bargain.
But they've got no case|against him.
My dad told me.
I don't know.
This lawyer, he's handling, like,|10 different cases, and he just|doesn't want to see the inside|of a courtroom.
I don't know.
But he didn't do it, okay? He didn't kill Jordan Collier.
You keep saying that.
Does your dad know something? What? Is there evidence|that they're hiding? What?|You have to tell me.
If roy takes this deal, he can't even get parole|for 20 years.
He's not going to prison.
Why? The 4400 came back august 14th.
Hudson discovered promicin|october 11th.
So they probably gave the first doses|of the inhibitor sometime around|the end of the month.
But we have every|internal document for october.
There's nothing|about any of this.
There's hardly even|a mention of orson bailey.
We both wrote reports|about him, Diana.
They're gone.
They were hoping that was going to be|the only extrahuman ability ever developed in a 4400.
If they destroy|all records of it nobody would ever know.
But this went to the top|of the food chain.
Here.
Britain, france,|korea everywhere there's a sick 4400.
There has to be a paper trail.
Does it even matter? I mean,|we could find a memo signed by the entire|united nations security council.
It's not going to cure anyone.
Diana, we delivered|confidential medical records to dr.
Burkhoff.
We've got the so-called|"father of 4400 technology" working on the case, and you just|stuck a gun to the head of NTAC's|medical director.
We've done everything we can to get the right people|working on a cure.
That's if NTAC|even wants a cure.
Ryland's been talking|about people in d.
c.
Who've been on a wartime footing|for months.
This is nothing|but a stroke of luck for them.
You think|they want them all dead? I told you! I told you|i wasn't safe here.
It's just a precaution, kevin.
We think|you'll just be safer if you move to|a less exposed location.
It's because|i told you about that inhibitor|thing, right? I spent six years|in a psychiatric hospital suffering from paranoid|personality disorder.
As soon as i get out, you two put me|smack in the middle of a massive|conspiracy.
Dr.
Burkhoff's been spinning|all kinds of stories about NTAC.
Very interesting stuff.
Well, he can spin all the theories|he wants, just not here.
I'll make sure|he has a safe place to work.
I figured out what promicin is.
That's the name they gave|the neurotransmitter, right? The one that gives the 4400|their abilities? And if i can find|one 4400 that hasn't been exposed|to the inhibitor, i think i can neutralize it.
Hey.
You scared me.
Why didn't you use|your key? Oh, sorry.
|My hands were full.
I brought you guys|some supplies.
You still like chocolate cherry? That sounds great.
Thank you.
Oh you okay? Yeah, just jumpy.
It's so quiet out here.
Yeah, a lot of places|have closed up for the season.
Oh, i thought that, uh maybe i could stay for|a little dinner or something.
You don't have to|get back home? No, not really.
Carol's gone.
She found out that you and i|were talking.
Don't worry,|she doesn't know you're here, but she got mad.
Brian, i'm sorry.
She'll stay away|for a few nights.
I'll stay on the couch|for a while but in the meantime, heidi's staying with a friend, and i figured,|why eat alone? Sure, but i hope|you're not expecting much.
I haven't made pot roast|in a while.
You know, lily,|the truth is i never|should have married carol in the first place.
What are you doing, brian? Come on.
I'm alone.
You're alone.
You and richard aren't happy.
That's not true.
We could have it back, lily.
Don't, brian.
Why are you|fighting it? Brian, stop it!|Let me go! I don't want to hurt you, lily! Stop it! You little bitch.
Hello? [Brian.]
: lily?|Are you okay? Brian? Yeah, i was going to|bring by some food.
Don't.
Something's not right here.
I haven't heard from the safe house|in wheeling for a day.
We have to assume|it's been compromised.
That's the third one|that's gone silent.
They're picking us off|one by one.
We might want to think|about fighting back.
We can do that, richard.
We certainly have 4400s|that can do some damage, but once|we take that step, there's no turning back.
Excuse me, but shouldn't there be|bars on these windows? The point is to be unobtrusive,|dr.
Burkhoff.
Well, this seems a little lax to me.
Most of you are 4400s.
I'm a collaborator.
You know what they do|to collaborators? [Quietly.]
:|We need to get him working.
It calms him down considerably.
We cleared out a room for you.
Anything you need,|just let us know.
What i need is a clean 4400, one that hasn't been exposed|to the inhibitor.
I don't guess|you've got one of those, do you? Actually, i might.
i've never seen you pour a drink|on government property.
I never supervised a round-up|of innocent citizens before.
Conscience bothering you,|dennis? Hell, yes it is and given the circumstances,|i'd say that's a good sign, but i'm trying to focus|on my job, Tom and i need the same from you.
But sometimes when you you look for one thing,|you you learn something else.
You know how it is, dennis.
[Ryland.]
:|I know exactly what you mean.
I've learned some things|myself.
Open it.
Knowledge is a burden, huh, Tom? Did you think that i would release Kyle|from quarantine and not keep an eye on him? Why didn't you stop this? Because i didn't know exactly what Kyle|was going to do.
I just sort of let the future|play out.
Isn't that what|you're always talking about? You set up roy marsden.
That was my gift to you, Tom.
Would you rather i just turn these over|to my bosses? I would rather|you be the friend you be the ryland|i worked with for 20 years.
I haven't changed.
I have a tough job,|and i'm doing my best, and as your boss, and as your friend, i expect support.
Kyle hated quarantine.
I wonder what he'd think of prison.
They know.
NTAC knows|you shot Collier.
What? How? They've known all along.
|They let it happen.
I need you to be ready|to get out of here.
I'm going to call|alana's friends.
You're sending me to spain? If they come|after you, i need you to be ready|to leave right away.
Did you hear roy marsden's|being sent to jail for life? They set him up.
But if i run just one thing at a time, Kyle.
Let me worry about you,|then i will deal with marsden.
So you want me|to start packing? Yeah, Kyle! Aren't you|hearing me? [Diana.]
: He committed suicide? I know that max was under|a lot of strain, but he had all those people's lives|in his hands.
Maia's i know, but dr.
Pinero's been|hudson's number two from the very beginning.
He knows everything|that hudson knew.
We're still going to|beat this thing.
Good morning, Tom.
Nina.
Here.
I grabbed this|out of your mail cubby.
Did you hear|about hudson? Yeah.
You okay? They're calling it|a suicide.
What are you calling it? Tom, look at this.
It's from max.
"Firewall memo.
" What is that? I don't know.
Why are you doing this,|isabelle? Mommy needs to know.
I brought you here|so we could be safe.
Don't you want that? [Pounding on door.]
Lily, what's going on|out here? You okay? No.
Go away! I told you not to come here! That's why i'm here.
Lily, please, let me in.
How do i know you're real? What are you|talking about? Of course i'm real.
Did carol leave you? Why would she leave me? Lily, i'm coming in,|okay? No.
No! No! Lily whoa, whoa,|whoa, whoa.
Lily put down the knife.
Please.
I just came|to check on you guys, make sure|you were okay.
Look, it's me.
Brian.
Put the knife down.
Lily, we're all going to die.
|Is that what you want? No! Stop it, isabelle! Lily, i heard screaming.
|What is going on? Brian if you're real,|you've got to get me out.
Isabelle|doesn't want to be here.
Firewall it's a program,|a safety net.
That's how|you keep viruses off your hard drive.
Okay, did you ever see a memo with the word "firewall"|written in the subject line? No, but i don't read|most of the memos that circulate|around here anyway.
Look, how long|are you guys going to be|working in here? What, are they painting|your offices? We need a little privacy, okay? Tom, this memo,|whatever it is, i doubt it ever went out|on a general distribution, and every copy probably went|through the shredder months ago.
So if there's no hard copy, and if marco is the only one|we even trust to even|talk about it with, then we're at a dead end.
We could always|march into ryland's office and ask him about it.
[Marco.]
: The guy|does know memos.
When he was working here, i must have thrown away,|like, 15 every day.
More like 20.
He liked to|keep his keyboard burning.
Who, ryland? Yeah.
He didn't type.
He used to|call me in sometimes when he froze up|his computer.
Hunt-and-peck city.
Took him 10 minutes|to type in an email address.
Ryland dictated everything|to his secretary.
She had "l" level|security clearance.
Look.
"D.
r.
/j.
o.
" Everything says|"d.
r.
/j.
o.
" "D.
r.
,"|dennis ryland.
And "j.
o.
" is jane orman.
She worked for him|for 22 years.
Did she stay in seattle? Say hi for me.
Lily.
You came back.
Are you all right? [Lily.]
: I thought|i was doing the smart thing, but isabelle what happened? She just wanted to be with you,|and this place i don't know.
Hey.
Did you miss daddy? Yeah? Well,|he missed you.
Both of you.
Listen, i'm, uh i'm going to take off.
Brian thank you for everything.
Hey, uh do me a favor forget this address, forget about|all of us, and i'll forget you drove off with my wife in the middle|of the night.
Good luck, lil.
Hey, i've been|calling you all day.
There's a guy here|who thinks that isabelle excuse me.
Didn't anyone hear|that car pull up is that her? I think|there's somebody here who wants to meet you.
This is isabelle.
What are we|supposed to say? "You know that|massive conspiracy "to suppress|the abilities "of the 4400? "We were just|kind of hoping you would fill us in|on the particulars.
" Yeah,|"and don't be nervous, "but we had to shake|a government tail on the way here|to do it.
" Yeah, sounds|like a start.
Tom baldwin.
Long time, jane.
Do you remember my partner,|Diana skouris? Of course.
Yeah.
Hi.
I always wondered|who would show up.
I should have figured|it'd be the two of you.
You're here about firewall,|right? Come on in.
The inhibitor|hasn't been tested.
It is not ready.
[Ryland.]
:|One of the 4400 is a serial killer who was using,|i don't know, some kind|of mind control to get people|to commit murder.
The inhibitor's ready.
This is wrong, dennis.
We are beyond|right and wrong here! There's no precedent for this.
Now, d.
c.
's been advised|of the operation.
It's been approved|at the highest level.
There is nothing further|to discuss, is there? I am not doing this.
I took it home with me|that night.
The next day,|i put in my notice.
I mean, you have to understand, for two decades, i thought that dennis ryland|was the finest man i ever met, and after i read this,|i couldn't work for him anymore.
I kept telling myself|i should send it somewhere the newspapers, or i don't know but the names that signed off|on this i was just a secretary.
What could i do|against those names? It's all here.
Did you see the names? When Maia said, "mommy's bosses are|going to be punished," i had no idea|she meant all the way up|the chain of command.
We can't go public yet.
What? We can't go public yet.
Listen, the faster|this gets exposed, the better it is|for Maia, alana, shawn all of them.
No more secrets.
No more relying|on the people who did this to find a cure.
At the very least, they're going to|have to rescind the quarantine order.
Diana,|ryland's got something on me.
Ryland? This entire memo|is over his signature.
What could he possibly|have over you? He knows|Kyle killed Jordan Collier.
What? That night|on highland beach, they put someone inside of him,|or some program i don't know directing his actions, and ryland has evidence.
I'm sorry, Tom, but i can't just sit on this! Maia's getting sicker! Just give me one hour, Diana.
Just one hour.
Please.
Stop saying that.
|It's not okay, Kyle.
If i go through|with this, they're going to|come after you, and it doesn't matter if you're in spain|or siberia.
I know, but with all those lives|at stake, you have to do it.
Okay, i'm taking you|to the airport.
Dad i'm not going anywhere.
This actually makes it easier.
I didn't know|how i was going to tell you.
Tell me what? I can't live like this anymore.
I can't live|knowing that guy is in jail.
I go through every day trying to pretend|it's all normal, but it's just a cover-up.
I can't let you do it, Kyle.
Marsden shot at me.
He, uh|he shot at other cops too.
Even if you confess, Kyle,|he is still going to jail.
You try to bury stuff like this,|it changes you.
Look what it did|to your boss.
Ryland used to be your friend.
It's over, dad.
No more lies.
I can't do it anymore.
|I just can't do it.
Okay? You can't stop me.
Okay? Don't you do anything|until i get back.
You hear me? [Ryland.]
: This is|the right thing, the heroic thing, and being a hero|comes with some perks.
You tell me|what i need to know, i'll see that|you're transferred to a private|quarantine facility this afternoon.
You can|walk the grounds, you can choose|your own meals what's wrong with that? That's where|they told me to go.
The inhibitor is piggybacking|on glucose.
It enters the brain through facilitated|diffusion.
It's a binding protein.
That's how|they did it i'll take your word for it.
But this serum has pure promicin|in it.
It can neutralize the charge.
The inhibitor won't be able|to cross membranes anymore.
We can flush it|out of their systems.
So once it's gone,|the disease goes away? Please.
Stop saying "disease.
" For the last time,|it's a side effect.
Remove the inhibitor,|the immune system functions.
It'll happen|virtually instantly.
So this substance promicin.
It's what makes you people|unique.
How did you get it|out of my daughter? She has trace amounts of it in her bloodstream.
Before the inhibitor,|you all did.
That's how they found it in the first place but she's an infant.
I could only draw|enough blood to make one shot.
If you can get that|into quarantine, one shot might be all you need.
Nina, where's ryland? A 4400 gave up|the seattle safe house.
They're on their way|to take it down.
Excuse me.
Please don't shoot.
Dr.
Burkhoff,|why would we shoot you? I have no idea, but i'm feeling|a little insecure right now.
I brought something|for you.
Whatever you do, don't drop it.
Everybody in this house is subject|to quarantine and arrest under emergency order 74.
You have five minutes|to come out peacefully.
If not, we'll come in and get you.
There's an army out there.
Ryland! Call it off.
It's over.
Quarantine.
Everything.
Agent baldwin|is obstructing justice.
Arrest him.
I don't think so,|dennis.
I know about Firewall.
Keep your weapon on him.
You're really willing|to give up your son? Kyle's turning himself in.
He can't live with the cover-up.
When i wrote that memo, we had no idea where|the 4400 were from or why they were|brought back.
Dr.
Hudson|gave me information.
I acted on it, Tom.
If you were in my chair,|you'd have done the same thing.
Hi.
I've got some|medicine for you.
To be honest with you, i'd rather be giving this|to Maia, but a crazy neuroscientist|told me that that was not|the right thing to do, so if you don't mind|holding still for a minute you saw orson bailey|up close and personal.
Oliver knox.
You know what these people|were capable of.
Hell, i attached your reports|to the memo when i sent it to d.
c.
But we learned better, dennis.
Highland beach? "Save the future?" Heartfelt message, Tom, and while they were|giving it to you, they were|programming your son to commit murder.
Does that sound to you like they were|guiding us toward eden? I don't know, but i sure as hell don't want to go|where you're taking me.
Goddammit, Tom! What does it even mean,|"save the future?" Save the future how? Kill us all? Start over|with a smaller, more evolved|population? Is that an outcome|you can live with? What can you|live with, dennis? Was max hudson really a suicide, or did you pull|that little string too? And what about me,|dennis? Because if you're|holding on to any hope of keeping this covered up, you're going to have to start|by putting me in the ground right here and right now.
[Ryland.]
: Tom, you're reducing|the fate of the planet to a question|of your personal faith.
Without the inhibitor program, who the hell knows|what'll happen? Who the hell ever knows? Very wise.
Pithy.
But if the world|turns out to be a place of unchecked|4400 abilities, i hope we don't live|to regret it.
Stand down! We're done here.
You can all go home now.
Thomas.
|Alana.
Alana.
What happened here? A miracle.
Welcome home, baby.
Home i never even unpacked.
We'll take care of that|right now.
Where's Kyle? I can't wait|to see him.
Yeah, i told him|you were coming home.
Hey, Kyle!|We're back! Hey, Kyle.
Man, i never thought i was going|to see you again.
You're okay, right? I feel like i did|15 keg stands last night, but yeah,|pretty much.
We all are.
Dr.
Burkhoff|took blood samples from the people that i healed.
Every sample he gets|cures someone else, so hey, you guys|kind of lucked out, huh? "Lucked out?" There's 23 of us dead, and they don't even have|a final count yet.
I don't think that was|part of the plan, you know? That's not why|they brought us back.
This whole idea that there's some kind|of plan i don't know.
I wish|i could believe that.
Just trust me when i say that there's a plan,|it's important, and every 4400 is a part of it.
Shawn i killed Jordan Collier.
[Softly.]
: What? I bought a rifle, i went up on that roof,|took out two government agents, and then i shot him.
Remember|when i was in trouble? Losing chunks of time? That's what i was doing.
Planning out an assassination.
Why? You think i know? There's something inside me,|shawn or someone.
It takes over.
Those people|who took you? If they have a plan, it includes|me killing Jordan Collier.
That's not true, Kyle! Then why did they|make me do it? Why did they|ruin my life? I'm about|to go to prison for the people|you worship.
You murdered Jordan? I didn't mean i didn't even know|what i was doing, shawn.
