The 4400 s01e01 Episode Script
The Return (120 min)
* I'm in heaven * Ethan, I don't think it's going to clear up anytime soon.
I don't think it's going to last that long.
It's not raining that hard.
It was so nice this morning.
Yeah.
It'll clear up.
And if it doesn't, we'll just have a picnic in the car.
No, Daddy.
I want to go outside and play.
Oh, no, you're going to get all wet, sweetie.
Maybe later.
Please? It's a very light shower.
Please? I won't get wet.
Please? Okay.
-Yay! -But just for a minute.
-Okay.
-And I want you to come right back.
I promise.
-Have fun.
-I will.
We treated you as an equal.
That wasn't good enough for you.
You had to cross the line.
I'd put in for a transfer if I were you.
So, where you two going for dinner? Chez Michael's.
That's going to set you back.
Elizabeth has been married to me for 35 years.
She deserves a nice meal.
Have a good evening, Orson.
God bless.
Oh, you need to slow down, cousin.
I'm not driving back into town for another six pack.
You're just afraid my dad will kick your ass if I come home smelling like beer.
Evil cousin Shawn-- that's me.
Corrupter of the innocent.
That next door neighbor of yours, what's-her-name? She seems ready for some corruption.
You mean Nikki? She's 14, Kyle.
-14? -Yeah.
Hmm.
Now, would it be fair to say that this comet is close in size to Haley's comet, or is it a little bigger? Well, actually, as far as comets go, this one's a little smaller than Haley's, but what makes this particularly interesting to us is how close it will pass by Earth.
And what are the predictions on how close it will pass? -Hey, kiddo.
-Somewhere between two and five million miles.
You're missing the show.
There's a big comet.
the distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles NASA says we'll never see one closer in our lifetime.
Yeah, I didn't think that would work.
appears to have little or no tail.
Well, it's a little unusual Hi.
How is he? The same.
Same as always.
Some of your mail's still coming to the house.
I'll call the post office.
Hi, baby.
Haven't seen you around here for the last couple of days.
Can't make it every day, not anymore.
Not after three years.
So what are we supposed to do, just give up on him? I better go.
Linda, just wait.
Linda! Linda.
It's not a competition, Tom.
It's not about who can sit by his side the longest.
I still love him.
I just can't live here like you do.
I know.
I wasn't accusing you.
I saw you got a bill from Olympia Investigations.
More private detectives? I thought we were on to something.
Someone matching Shawn's description living down in Monterey.
But it wasn't him, was it? Shawn can be anywhere.
Even if you found him it wouldn't wake Kyle up.
At least I'd have some answers.
I'm worried about you, Tom.
Finding Shawn and figuring out what happened to our son, that is my job.
How can you not know that? You look tired.
Try and get some rest.
I thought we were supposed to be watching the comet.
Oh, yeah, the comet.
Is it supposed to be that bright? Skouris here.
Get over here.
Now.
This cannot be good.
All right, listen up, everyone.
We're at DEFCON One.
These envelopes are orders from Home Sec.
Our first priority is secure SeaTac Airport, ground all the planes, gather up all the foreign dignitaries in the greater metropolitan area.
Get them, the local elected officials, take them all to the shelters in those orders.
Someone bring me up to speed.
Sid? The comet.
It's not a fly-by anymore.
It's heading right at us.
Sir, it just changed course and accelerated again.
A comet cannot change course.
This one has.
Then it's not a comet.
Revised estimate of velocity is How much time do we have? Impact in 28 minutes.
Sir.
Ryland.
Understood.
China just launched its missiles at it.
Get ready, guys.
We're going next.
There has been a launch.
The U.
S.
Military has launched a volley of 24 Titan II missiles.
Danny what's going on? All right.
Our missiles are in the air.
England has launched, too.
France and Russia.
NORAD's saying the first flight of missiles will intercept in 15 seconds.
Nine eight seven six five four Three two one.
We should get inside.
Multiple hits.
I think they got it.
NORAD is reporting that at least nine of the Titan II missiles have hit their target.
It appears the comet has No effect.
The comet is still headed right for us.
How hard will it hit? Something that big, that fast? You don't want to know.
You don't want to know.
I'm scared.
I'm going to go find my parents, okay? Hey, Dad? If you're there can you pick up the phone? It's Diana.
You know, your daughter.
Just tell my brother that I love him.
You tell Mommy that I love her, okay? Nancy, it's dad.
I just wanted to tell you I love you.
Catastrophic impact with Earth now appears unavoidable Tom, it's Susan.
What is going on? Where and exactly when this now certain Tom, isn't there a shelter we can go to? I mean, technically you still work for Homeland Security, don't you? Susan, it doesn't matter.
The shelters aren't going to make a damn bit of difference.
Just I'm sorry.
I love you, sis.
Just hug Danny close and pray for the best.
Sir, British missiles just hit the object but it's still coming.
It's entered the atmosphere.
I got it on SeaTac radar.
It's slowing down.
What? It's at Mach Seven, Mach Two.
It's going subsonic.
It's leveling off and continuing to lose speed.
It's as if it's coming in for a landing.
Landing? Wha like Like a plane? No, more like the mothership.
Give me some coordinates.
Where's it going? That's by Mount Rainier.
That's our backyard.
Come on, get the shot.
Get the shot.
We're, we're close to the base of Mount Rainier.
The ball of light is massive; It's hard to tell.
We're going to try to get closer.
I can tell you that this is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible sights I've ever seen.
We're still looking for some sort of official that might be here from the government.
Jim? Jim, what's going on? We're not sure what's just happened.
The ball of light is gone.
Thousands of people have just suddenly appeared.
This is amazing.
There are thousands of people as far as the eye can see.
I think I just I saw your brother.
Shawn? Yeah! Pull me all the files from the Northern Counties.
I want back in.
Tom, do you have any idea what I'm wading through here? I have over 4,000 people that stepped out of a ball of light and landed in my lap.
Some of them have been gone 60 years.
None of them have any memory of what happened to them.
You want me to drop everything because you want back in? I can help.
I needed help from you before.
When Home Sec asked me who I wanted to bring over from the Bureau, your name was at the top of the list.
What did I get from you? Five months.
And then an indefinite leave of absence.
You made fools out of both of us.
I needed to find the truth about what happened to my son.
And you still do.
And that's the reason you want back in because your nephew is one of the returnees.
Look, I admit I have a personal stake in this.
That's why I'll come through for you.
I need answers, too.
Diana Skouris.
Tom Baldwin.
You two will be one of the teams that's responsible for investiging what happened to the returnees.
Skouris, ex-CDC, right? Yeah, I heard of you, too.
You got to be kidding me, right? Is there a problem? He went MIA once.
Who's to say he won't do it again? Me.
Is this where you give me the "Be a good soldier" speech? No, this is where I give you the speech about how you're my best field scientist and Tom is my best lead investigator, and how together, you're going to make a good team.
Hmm.
Well, should be interesting.
Nice to meet you, too.
Beautiful.
The sooner we find out what's going on, the better for us.
The better for them.
What's your name again, sir? Julius.
Anita.
Amanda.
I want to see my family.
( speaks Spanish ) ( speaks German ) Orson Bailey.
It's not possible.
Why? It's 1979.
So for them, no time has passed.
Last night was our anniversary.
So between you and me, what do you think happened to them? Where do you think they've been? I don't know.
There had to be some kind of intelligence behind it.
As in the hand of God or little green men? I'm not discounting anything.
Here, look.
This is an interesting one.
They're dead, aren't they? This is Maia Rutledge.
She was the first one to disappear as far as we can tell.
She's eight years old, only she was born in 1938.
I'll be okay, mostly.
She's a tough little kid.
Look, there's one returnee I'd like to interview myself.
Yeah, so I've been told.
Returnee 2,117-- Shawn Farrell.
He's all yours.
All we're asking for is access.
These people deserve to see their families.
To receive legal representation.
They're private citizens who've done nothing wrong.
We don't know that.
It's been less than a week.
For all we know, these people could be walking time bombs, disease vectors, spies.
Sent by who? She doesn't like us much.
We've just seen thousands of The feeling's mutual.
The government won't tell us anything about it.
I believe a little paranoia is warranted and I believe that the majority of the American public agrees with me.
Well, fortunately, the American public has been know to disagree.
The Secretary of State is colored? You mean black.
I'll take your word for it.
The National Security Advisor, too.
Boy, the world sure has changed since '51.
You should try to relax, son.
You're not going to get out of here any quicker by wearing a groove in the floor.
Are you some kind of jailhouse philosopher? Barracks philosopher, actually.
Oh I was a combat pilot in Korea.
Nice tattoo.
Who's Lily? A girl I used to know.
Shawn Farrell, report to interview room one.
I'll see you.
Medical exams for group F returnees have been delayed by one hour What's your name again, sir? Orson Bailey.
I want to speak to someone in charge.
I mean, why can't I just make a call? -Uncle Tommy.
-Hi.
It's good to see you.
Look, what's going on? Nobody will tell us anything.
We'll let you know as soon as we find out.
I still can't believe it's you.
How do you think I feel? Listen, do you know how long they're going to keep us, because I really want to go home.
Shawn, do you remember anything? Anything at all about what happened that night? Nothing.
Nothing.
One minute I'm sitting there with Kyle on the beach.
The next it's three years later and I'm standing next to some mountain with a couple thousand strangers around me.
Listen, Uncle Tommy, some people are saying that we were abducted by aliens.
We can't rule anything out yet.
Well, can you give me anything? How's my mom? How's Danny? Fine, they're all fine.
They miss you.
Great.
Hey, what about Kyle? I mean, he must have seen something the night that I disappeared.
Did he tell you anything? He hasn't said a word.
He's okay, isn't he? Isn't he? Kyle's in a coma, Shawn.
What are you talking about? What I'm talking about is Kyle lying on a bed with a ventilator down his throat being fed through one tube and pissing out another.
He's been like that ever since the night you left.
He was fine last time I saw him.
We were having a couple of beers.
Look, don't you lie to me, Shawn.
-I'm not -Don't you lie to me! I've been waiting three years to hear the truth from you, so please don't lie to me.
I just told you the truth.
Is that what you've been thinking this whole time? That I gave Kyle something that messed him up and that I just took off? Screw you, Uncle Tommy.
I just told you everything I know.
Goddamn it! You look as bored as I feel.
I wish there were windows in this place.
I'd like to see the stars, wouldn't you? Do I look that bad? No, it's just you remind me of someone I used to know.
How long you've been gone? Since '51.
It wouldn't be me, then.
'93.
I'm Richard.
Lily.
My friend, her name was Lily, too.
Lily Bonham.
That's my grandmother's name.
Lily Bonham from Saint Louis? You knew my grandmother.
Is she still alive? I'm sorry.
She died before I was born.
Are you all right? Lily's dead and I'm sitting here with her granddaughter.
It doesn't make any sense.
No goddamn sense at all.
I know how you feel.
I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from this dream and tell my husband all about it.
You have you have a family? Yeah.
Brian and I and our daughter, Heidi.
She was six months when I So, what was she like, my grandmother? Oh Everyone says I look a lot like her.
They were right.
I'm sorry, that's not possible right now.
This is ridiculous.
You have no right to hold us here like this.
We haven't done anything wrong.
I'm sorry.
This is for you.
Well, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lawsuit by the ACLU on behalf of the families.
We don't have a legal right to hold them.
Okay, but some of these people have no place to go, no families left.
The word is, Egypt and China are refusing to repatriate its citizens.
India's on the fence.
Oh, wait a minute.
We're not kicking anybody out.
Whoever wants to stay can stay.
As far as American citizens, whoever leaves will get whatever assistance is required to get their life back on track: Medicare, unemployment, rent vouchers, vocational training.
Vocational training? We need to isolate these people.
They're not virus samples, they're human beings.
The order's been given.
We're letting them go.
I wouldn't book your vacations just ye Each Regional Homeland Security Office will be responsible for the returnees who settle in their region.
So, we'll be monitoring plus another 135 have chosen to remain in quarantine for the time being.
Each of our returnees will check in once a week.
Any difficulties faced by the returnees in our district will be handled by this office.
Finally, we'll continue with our ongoing investigation.
We'll all sleep better once we know what the hell's going on.
Thank you.
You look so lonely standing there without an ID number.
I'm supposed to be 82 years old.
There's no one here waiting for me.
So what are you going to do now that you're out? Head back to the old neighborhood, I suppose.
What about you? No, wait, let me guess.
Take your daughter to Woodland Park.
We used to love that place.
Of course, Heidi was barely crawling then and now she's 12.
Uh You've been a good friend.
They told me there'd be a bus to the city.
Yes, sir.
Right over there.
Thanks.
Hey, Mom! Danny! Shawn! Oh, my God.
Hey, buddy.
Oh Brian! Brian! Sorry, I How you doing? Good.
Let's Let's go.
Yeah, let's get out of her Thank you.
Can I help you? Heidi Yeah? Heidi, it's Mommy.
Who? Heidi It's, uh, it's okay, sweetie.
I got it.
Brian.
Lily.
Look at you.
You haven't aged a day.
Why didn't you come pick me up? Didn't Didn't they contact you? Yeah.
You have to try to understand, Lily.
I didn't think I was ever gonna see you again.
I'm married, Lily.
Carol has been a really good mother to Heidi and we have a son now, too, a little boy.
I'm sorry.
Lily, I'm Lily.
Elizabeth? Orson? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you.
I know.
Where's the car? We're going to be late for dinner.
I'm sorry, hon.
Things got a little out of control.
But it won't happen again.
Hi, Mom.
Sweetie.
Hey, Shawn.
Oh, y, George.
Hey, guys.
Good to see you.
Yeah, sorry your buddies couldn't show.
I guess most of them are away at college.
They're just jealous I get to enjoy two more years of high school.
High school's not that bad.
Hey, Shawn.
Remember me? Nikki? No.
Last time I saw you, you were just a little kid.
Now look at you.
Lucky me, huh? Yeah, guess so.
What the hell are you looking at? I used to live here.
Yeah? Well, I live here now.
Get the hell out of here.
Why did you bring me here? I thought I'd put a human face on the returnees for you.
Remind you they're people, not viruses.
Tom.
You going to introduce me to your new friend? Uh, Linda, this is, uh, this is my partner.
My work partner.
Diana Skouris.
Diana, this is my wife, Linda.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
We're separated.
Oh.
Call me.
We need to talk.
Well, that was awkward.
Really? Yeah.
I hadn't noticed.
Give me a second.
Hey, how you doing? You look thirsty.
Thank you.
I-I just wanted you to know I'm I really am glad you're back.
Whatever, Uncle Tom.
Geez.
Neck's broken.
Reflection must have confused him, huh? Yeah.
Why don't you come back inside? You're missing your own party.
I know.
It's just weird being in there I guess he was just stunned.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
I'll see you in there.
lovely people and that, that in Quarantine, right? Besides, there's nothing we can handle, right, Maia? That would be nice.
Well, we should get going.
It's a bit of a drive to Everett.
Yeah, terrific.
Good luck, Maia.
You'll see me again.
Yeah, next week.
Sooner than that.
And when we bought the building, your mother said, "What? That old thing?" Can I get you anything? Uh water, that'd be fine.
Mary could you get Mr.
Bailey some water? Just down here.
You know, I can't get over it.
You look exactly the same as the last time I saw you.
And you were what, 13 Your father asked me to show you the ropes.
Looks like I succeeded.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
So what can I do for you, Mr.
Bailey? My old corner office, for starters.
Thank you A secretary, some business cards.
I should be able to start seeing clients within a week or so.
You're looking for a job? This is still Kensington & Bailey, isn't it? I'm embarrassed.
Uh Times are tight.
I just had to lay off three of my actuaries.
I don't have any openings right now, Mr.
Bailey.
Openings? I'm a partner here.
Mr.
Bailey, your interest in this company was bought out when you were declared dead.
I'm not dead.
Well, your wife accepted the settlement.
It is all legal.
Don't be too sure of that.
What happened to me there is no precedent.
You are right about that, but it might be years until precedent is established.
Until that happens, all of you returnees are going to have to get in line and plead your case in front of a judge.
I mean, do you have the kind of resources to? Have you seen the place my wife is in? I have to get her out of there.
I don't think we should discuss is any further.
I need money.
Now.
The living room and there's the kitchen.
-Do you want to see your room? -Okay.
I think it's really nice.
It's the one over here.
Come here.
We just had it redone.
It's a very nice room.
I got you a few outfits to start.
Tomorrow we'll go shopping.
You can pick out some more yourself.
Okay.
Maia.
Honey.
We have a rule.
No shoes on the furniture.
I don't want them to get wet.
Wet? Why would they get wet? Why don't you get cleaned up? We're going to eat soon.
* Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * While you're gone * * Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * While you're gone * * I think of you in my dreams * * You never know just what you mean to me * * To me * * Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * While you're gone * * Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * While you're gone * * I think of you night and day * * I never know just what you meant to say * * To say * Anita?! Adam, it's Orson.
Let me in.
I want to talk.
I know you can hear me.
Let me in! You want me to wake the whole neighborhood? Tom? What are you doing here? Your phone is off.
Ryland wants us to come in.
What's up? There's been a murder.
The police are holding one of the 4400.
That's him.
That's Orson Bailey.
Bailey-- some kind of businessman, right? Right.
-Life insurance? -Yeah.
Disappeared in the '70s.
'79, declared dead in '86.
Seattle police are holding him in connection with a homicide in Madison Park last night.
Do they know he's one of the 4400? Bailey told them.
That's why they called us.
Well, I thought the returnees were told not to discuss their status.
Well, we counsel them to avoid it if they possibly can, but, you know, we were talking job interviews and housing applications.
There's not really a protocol for being questioned about a murder.
You said holding, not charging.
That's right.
There are some conflicting reports about what actually went on at the crime scene.
We'll check it out.
Quietly.
I don't want to be dodging microphones at the 6:00 news.
Quietly it is.
Diana? Hi, this is Linda.
I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message and I'll call you back.
Linda, it's me again.
You said we needed to talk, so pick up the phone.
Linda, come on.
All right, call me.
Everything all right? Yeah, same old same old.
Call me, don't call me.
I wish she'd make up her mind.
You know, I had a boyfriend once.
Every time he'd tell A boyfriend? Well, don't look so surprised.
Yeah, anyway, the thing about this guy that used to drive.
You can stop.
I barely got started.
All I'm saying is, you don't have to try to make me feel better.
Well, it was more of an attempt at bonding via a shared similar experience.
Can you open the door? How long did you go out with this guy? Nine months.
-Nine months? -Mm-hmm.
So, you're equating your nine months of dating with my 19 years of marriage? Yeah, you're right.
Okay, forget it.
You want me to drive? What for? I don't know.
So you can brood? Just get in.
Look who floated in on a ball of light.
Remember me, Farrell? Rossi Hi Well, it looks like the steroids finally kicked in.
Funny man.
Funny.
Always did appreciate your sense of humor.
Like that time you sold me those concert tickets right before you disappeared.
To the Foo Fighters? How was the show? I wouldn't know; the cops were waiting for me when I showed up.
Tickets were stolen, man.
You got me arrested.
You got arrested for stolen tickets? Yeah, I had five tabs of X on me.
I had to pee into a cup once a week for two years because of you! Stop it! Hey, hey! Come on! Get off of him.
This is between me and your brother.
Yeah? Well, I'm making it between you and me.
See you around, freak.
Oh, by the way, how'd you like the new paint job on your ride? You okay? I'm fine.
The security cameras caught everything.
The guy definitely had a bug up his ass.
Except, as far as we can tell, he never went inside.
Kensington fell into all that glass and impaled himself.
You've been through all the footage? Every scrap.
Bailey never made it past the gate.
Wait.
Hold on a second.
Did you see that? That's glass.
Yeah.
Something blew out the windows, but from the inside.
Yeah, we're still trying to figure that one out.
There was no seismic activity.
No evidence of a bomb or a gas leak.
And Bailey's not talking? We've sent half a dozen guys in there, but he hasn't given us anything.
Look, I've been over and over this with you people.
We're not the police.
We're Homeland Security.
Well, tell the bozos out there that I had nothing to do with what happened to Adam.
Let's just go over your day again.
You went to see Adam Kensington about a job, and even though your name is still on the company letterhead, he brushed you off.
I know how that'd make me feel.
I admit it, I was angry.
I went to Adam's house to, uh I don't know why I went, but I didn't kill him.
Let me read you an e-mail Kensington sent his attorney after your visit.
It's not important.
Just a sec.
"Bailey is making desperate claims "regarding his financial stake in the company.
"He actually threatened to sue.
"I don't think he realizes "that there are probably going to be "hundreds of lawsuits involving the 4400.
"It'll take years.
"The poor bastard, he really is a rather pathetic case.
" I am not a lawyer, but I'm not an idiot either.
You've had me here for 12 hours.
Now, either you charge me with something.
or let me go.
So, we're just going to let him walk, after what happened in there? Yeah, looks like it.
But for future reference, if I ever want to play good cop/bad cop, I'll let you kwow.
Which one do I get to be? This isn't a joke.
There's a time to lean on a guy, and that wasn't it.
You shut him down.
Look, I'm sorry.
But Bailey admitted he was angry with Kensington.
He was at his house.
I didn't say it was over, did I? Do you think they ever thought about me? Oh, sweetie! They were your parents.
I am sure that they thought about you every day.
Thanks for bringing me here.
This place used to be so nice.
Now the kids leave their garbage everywhere.
Ah, it really is a shame.
You don't have to worry.
Crown Ridge is nice.
Crown Ridge Cemetery? Yes.
That's where you'll be.
Be? Be what? Buried.
Kensington's a popular guy around here today.
The whole staff's been through to look at the postmortem.
Yeah, why's that? Well, he might have been a boring old suit when he was alive, but in death he's a rock star.
God, look at that! Those were his parietal bones? We've seen beating deaths in here as bad as you can imagine.
Even the guy that jumped off the Space needle and had to be brought to us in a garbage bag.
But I have never seen a skull in this kind of shape before.
Thousands of tiny little bone fragments Kensington was impaled.
Are you saying that's not how he died? Oh, that would have killed him, but he was already dead from a shattered skull.
Hello? Hello.
Is, uh Lily there? Who? Is this Heidi? Yes.
I'm Richard Tyler.
A friend of your mother's.
My mother's name is Carol.
Are you sure you have the right number? This is the Moore residence, isn't it? Yeah, but there's no one named Lily here.
Sorry.
Well, I'm afraid I can't give you any medicine for the nausea.
Why not? Because it wouldn't work.
You're not sick, Lily.
You're pregnant.
That's impossible.
The-the quarantine doctors would have told me.
You said they gave you a full screening seven weeks ago.
If you just conceived, it wouldn't have shown up in their tests.
Conceived?! When? I assume it happened right before you disappeared.
But there's no mistake.
You're definitely pregnant.
Now, there's nothing to worry about.
I would like to see you again next week, and you can get used to the information.
Shawn! Hey.
How you doing? -Mm good.
-What's up? You get your car fixed? It's going to be in the shop for about a week.
Yeah.
You know, Danny and I are going to a party tonight at Eddie Tobin's house.
You should come.
I don't think so.
Why not? Um, well, they're going to be listening to music I've never listened to, talking about movies I've never seen.
School is bad enough.
Partying with a bunch of runts from Is that how you saw me, a runt? You were 14, Nikki.
And now? I'm late for class.
Where's my wife? My wife, where is she? Mr.
Bailey, you have our deepest condolences.
What? We called your hotel room, there was no answer.
Elizabeth? It was a pulmonary embolism, about 1:00 this morning.
We tried to revive her.
No! A pulmonary embolism Please, Mr.
Bailey.
Calm down.
Don't tell me she's dead.
Mr.
Bailey, just calm down.
She's all I have! Let go of me! No! No! Get away from me! So the red dots mark the spots where the American members of the 4400 originally lived.
You mean the returnees.
Not according to the press.
It's the 4400.
You know, you have to admit, it's a bit strange, a nice round number like that.
I wonder if it has any significance.
So you're saying that if 3,781 people had suddenly showed up that night, it wouldn't have been as strange? I'd say slightly less strange.
This, however, is downright weird.
Here's where the 4400 are right now, two weeks after their release.
They're just not going home.
And none of them can come up with a good reason as to why.
You think it means something? In the CDC, we'd call this a statistically significant disease cluster.
Yeah, well, in the FBI, we'd call it a freaky coincidence.
Well, I don't believe in coincidences.
Disease clusters.
I believe in those.
What do you mean, you're pregnant? I just found out a few days ago.
I don't understand.
When you disappeared, I'd been in New York for weeks studying for the bar.
I can't explain it.
I haven't been with anyone else.
So what are we talking, immaculate conception? I don't know what we're talking about.
I wish I did.
You know, when you disappeared I would have given anything in the world to talk to you again.
I had whole conversations with you in my head.
I missed you so much, Lily.
But we can't do this.
I have another family now.
And I'm sorry, I know that's not fair you, but Brian, I'm still part of your life, whether you want me to be or not.
Lily, you haven't been a part of my life for 11 years.
I want to see Heidi.
I'm sorry, that's impossible.
She's my daughter.
She doesn't know that.
She thinks that Carol is her mother.
You never told her about me? She was a baby when you left.
Hell, we were babies when you left.
You can't stop me from seeing her.
I already have.
What is that? It's a temporary restraining order.
Brian, I haven't done anything wrong.
Lily, I'm a lawyer.
I know how to work the system.
Now, I don't want to use this, but I will if you force me to.
My first priority has to be to protect my family.
I am your family.
I wish you were, but you're not.
Not anymore.
I'm sorry, Lily, I'm asking you, please, stay away from Heidi.
And from me.
I'm sorry, Lily.
At first I thought it was an earthquake.
Everything was shaking, falling off the walls.
But then-- I can't believe I'm going to say this-- things started to fly around the room.
Paper, chairs.
What do you mean, fly? I mean fly, like it was a tornado.
Except there was no wind.
Everybody was screaming, Mr.
Bailey was shouting.
My head felt like it was going to burst.
And then suddenly it was over.
What about Bailey? Oh, he looked scared.
Like the rest of us.
That's when he ran away.
The staff everyone's saying he's one of these people, the 4400.
Is that true? Listen to me very carefully.
You are not going to talk about this to the press or anyone else, and the same goes for your staff.
If I pick up a paper and see a word of this or I see it reported on the news, I'm going to take an interest in this place.
Things flying around the room.
I know, but we got a half dozen witnesses all saying the same thing.
Yeah, flying.
I've got to do a briefing for Home Sec DC in the morning and I'm going to tell them what? Well, I'd go with "the incident is under investigation.
" Bailey checked out of his hotel after he left the nursing home.
He could be on the run, we're not sure.
Find him.
You bought us some time, but this story's going to leak and I want Bailey in our hands before it does.
So is calculus everything you remember it to be? Uh, you heard about Williamson and Ms.
Sinclair, right? No.
No? Oh, they found them in the janitor's closet.
What is that? Making out, not dead.
What? Everybody in school's been talking about it.
Yo, freak.
You still hiding behind your little brother? You know what, Brad? You need to shut it down.
You want to shut me down? You know, the only thing I'm shutting down is you, bitch.
You're really starting to piss me off now.
Come on.
Bring it.
Shut me down.
Let him go.
Shawn! What did you do to him? Hey, keep your voice down, she'll hear you.
It's bad enough she tells us we're going to be buried at Crown Ridge Cemetery, but the next day we get a brochure from the place in the mail? It's a coincidence.
Look, she's not what we expected, so let's just talk to her.
Yeah.
I Maia It's okay.
I knew I wasn't going to be here very long.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
Give me the ball.
Your shot, space boy.
What is your problem, Danny? What's my problem? Yeah, what's your problem? What'd you do to Brad? Come on, Danny.
Not you, too.
Come on The way he went down, that's not normal.
You know it, I know it, everybody saw it.
What are you saying? You tell me.
I didn't do anything to him, all right, Danny? Not a thing.
And is this all that's left when you're done? I mean, poor Mrs.
Bailey.
It's a box of trinkets.
They're not trinkets, they're memories.
The kind you leave behind, you know, for your family and friends.
I should get to work on that.
I'm not going there.
Well, believe it or not, some of us are happier alone.
No one's happier alone.
If they think that, they're kidding themselves.
I thought you weren't going there.
You see this? This looks promising.
"Wyler Summer Cabin.
" Wyler was Elizabeth's maiden name.
Orson's panicking, he needs a place to run.
Well, there's no address.
We'll have to find one.
It's better this way.
For everyone.
Everyone? Or just you? Maia, honey, you know this isn't about you.
You are a wonderful girl.
It's just, Kenneth and I, we just made a mistake.
We're not ready to be parents yet.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
But, sweetie, those things you say, they can scare people if you're not careful.
Do you understand? Good.
For you.
Go ahead, take it.
What is it? A CD I burned.
Think of it as a crash course in all things new and cool.
The Darkness, Handsome Boy, Modeling School, Killing Joke.
All the bands you never heard of.
Thank you.
But, Nikki, I could listen to all the music and watch all the shows, but it wouldn't matter 'cause they're still going to look at me like I'm different.
At least you'll be listening to some good music.
I don't understand.
See, because everybody has been looking at me like I'm some kind of monster since the fight.
But you aren't you afraid to be seen with me? No.
What do I care what those creeps think? If you like the CD, I'll burn you another one.
-Sounds great.
-All right.
-Okay.
-Okay.
See you.
I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Hello? Okay, bring up the satellite shots.
So we're looking for a small house with a north-facing exposure somewhere within the vicinity of Appleton Lake.
If it's still standing.
No structures in grids one, two, three and nine.
Four and seven each have one, but they're the wrong shape.
Let's eliminate all those.
That leaves us with five, six and eight.
That's too small.
at's the wrong orientation.
That's too small, that's too big.
Nothing but trees in eight.
It's not there anymore.
Hang on a second.
Get in a little tighter on this.
Well it looks like it could be a house.
No, this was taken 50 years ago.
These trees would be huge by now.
Enlarge again.
Bingo.
There's your house.
Bingo.
Appleton's what, about 70 miles? Yeah.
Look, when we get up there, I'll handle Bailey.
All right.
Are we leaning on him? No leaning.
No problem.
Excuse me.
You Tom Baldwin? Yeah, who are you? You've been served.
Sorry, man.
You're getting sued? Linda's filed for divorce.
Lily.
Richard! Richard.
Oh.
I don't understand.
I I thought you went home.
I did, but there was nothing there for me.
But, uh How did you find me here? Woodland Park, right? This is where you used to bring Heidi.
Richard, was terrible.
Brian's remarried.
Heidi doesn't know anything Hello, Maia.
Hello.
Oh I like it out here.
It's much better than my stuffy office.
But you didn't bring me out here to talk about the weather.
-You're a very smart little girl.
Thank you.
The thing is that the Griffins didn't really give a reason why they brought you back.
Maybe they didn't have a reason.
Could be.
Were they mean to you? No.
Were you mean to them? No.
Why do you think you're back here? I don't think they like kids much.
Why do you say that? They brought me back and I'm a kid.
You don't really want to tell me the reason, do you? That's okay.
Maybe you'll change your mind one day.
Maybe.
Hi, this is Linda.
I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message and I'll call you back.
What, she's still not answering? Nope.
Can I ask you a question? No.
Well, I'm going to ask you anyway.
So your son, how long has he been in a coma? Three years.
That's a long time.
You have no idea.
Maybe you and your wife, you can work things out? You know, one day Kyle's going to wake up and I'll have to tell him his whole family's fallen apart.
I go to that hospital every day and I tell myself that makes me a good father.
Oh, you are a good father.
Kyle's lucky to have a dad like you.
Not everyone does.
You can trust me, 'cause I know.
A baby? You sure? I had the doctors do the test three times.
'Cause the thing is that Brian was out of town when I disappeared and I haven't been with anyone since I've been back.
I don't understand it.
How-how could you be? I don't know.
I'm sorry to be dumping this on you.
It doesn't It's not really fair.
It's okay.
I want to help.
There's some sort of connection between us, isn't there? I feel it.
I can feel it, too.
That's why I came back.
But it's more complicated than that.
Your grandmother and I, we weren't just friends, it was it was more than that.
We were going to start a family.
I think part of me already knew that.
The way you talk about her.
The look in your eye.
Here it is, I thought I was playing it so safe.
It must have been difficult, the two of you, a white woman and a black man in the '50s.
Mmm.
Black.
Back then I was Negro, colored or worse.
We didn'care.
We figured after the war, we'd take off to some big city like Chicago or New York or Paris.
But you never made it home.
No.
I never did.
I'm glad you found me.
Me, too.
* Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * When you're gone * * Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * Mr.
Bailey, it's Tom Baldwin, Homeland Security.
We met at the police station, remember? Mr.
Bailey, we're here to help but you've got to talk to us.
Go away.
I'm afraid we can't do that.
I just want to be left alone.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
That's good because we don't want anyone else hurt.
If you leave, I promise no one will ever see me again.
-I'll just stay here -Listen to me away from everyone.
We both know that's not going to work, Mr.
Bailey.
Now please, open the door.
We can figure this out together.
I'm on your side.
No, you're not.
No one is.
My nephew, he's one of the 4400.
Just like you.
I've seen how hard it is for him.
I know it's even harder for you.
You don't know anything.
My wife, she was everything to me.
Believe me, I'm sorry for your loss.
I don't want any pity out of you.
Go away! I just want to be left alone.
We can't do that.
I said get away from me.
Stay away, please.
Tom.
Your nose.
Hold on I can't control it.
Whatever it is you're doing, Mr.
Bailey, stop it.
I can't control it.
Stop it now! You all right? Yeah.
I'll call for an ambulance.
Okay.
We're going to get you some help, Mr.
Bailey.
Just don't die on me.
Well, he's alive.
But it doesn't look like he's going to be talking to us any time soon.
As far as the general public's concerned, we're going to deny it ever happened.
Yeah, but we know better.
The question is, will it happen again? So what do you suggest we do Round them all up and put them back in quarantine? You saw what Bailey could do.
I mean, you felt it same as me.
Who knows what the rest of them are capable of.
I sure as hell don't.
But then again, it's not my job to find out.
It's yours.
Aren't you glad you wanted back in? I never thanked you for saving my life.
I never shot anyone before.
But seeing him lying there like that You going to be okay? Yeah, I'll get there.
You know, I meant what I said to Ryland back there.
If Orson can do those things, who knows where all this is going? So far we've got one case and maybe that's all we'll ever have.
You ever noticed anything unusual with Shawn? Because I just need to know if you had, you'd tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
Wha? Yeah, look at this guy.
There's like three other sites just like this, but this one's got a lot more stuff than the other ones.
What are you guys doing? Research.
On The 4400 scoop.
com? It's just You know, the web, there's a site for everything.
"The Forty-Four Hundred Menace"? I know this guy.
I was in quarantine with him.
They're saying he killed someone just by thinking about it.
So that makes me some kind of freak? No.
No, we were just I want to know how you took Brad down so fast.
Come on, he did someing to him, you saw it.
Danny, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Neither do you.
Shawn.
What? You were thinking the same thing.

I don't think it's going to last that long.
It's not raining that hard.
It was so nice this morning.
Yeah.
It'll clear up.
And if it doesn't, we'll just have a picnic in the car.
No, Daddy.
I want to go outside and play.
Oh, no, you're going to get all wet, sweetie.
Maybe later.
Please? It's a very light shower.
Please? I won't get wet.
Please? Okay.
-Yay! -But just for a minute.
-Okay.
-And I want you to come right back.
I promise.
-Have fun.
-I will.
We treated you as an equal.
That wasn't good enough for you.
You had to cross the line.
I'd put in for a transfer if I were you.
So, where you two going for dinner? Chez Michael's.
That's going to set you back.
Elizabeth has been married to me for 35 years.
She deserves a nice meal.
Have a good evening, Orson.
God bless.
Oh, you need to slow down, cousin.
I'm not driving back into town for another six pack.
You're just afraid my dad will kick your ass if I come home smelling like beer.
Evil cousin Shawn-- that's me.
Corrupter of the innocent.
That next door neighbor of yours, what's-her-name? She seems ready for some corruption.
You mean Nikki? She's 14, Kyle.
-14? -Yeah.
Hmm.
Now, would it be fair to say that this comet is close in size to Haley's comet, or is it a little bigger? Well, actually, as far as comets go, this one's a little smaller than Haley's, but what makes this particularly interesting to us is how close it will pass by Earth.
And what are the predictions on how close it will pass? -Hey, kiddo.
-Somewhere between two and five million miles.
You're missing the show.
There's a big comet.
the distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles NASA says we'll never see one closer in our lifetime.
Yeah, I didn't think that would work.
appears to have little or no tail.
Well, it's a little unusual Hi.
How is he? The same.
Same as always.
Some of your mail's still coming to the house.
I'll call the post office.
Hi, baby.
Haven't seen you around here for the last couple of days.
Can't make it every day, not anymore.
Not after three years.
So what are we supposed to do, just give up on him? I better go.
Linda, just wait.
Linda! Linda.
It's not a competition, Tom.
It's not about who can sit by his side the longest.
I still love him.
I just can't live here like you do.
I know.
I wasn't accusing you.
I saw you got a bill from Olympia Investigations.
More private detectives? I thought we were on to something.
Someone matching Shawn's description living down in Monterey.
But it wasn't him, was it? Shawn can be anywhere.
Even if you found him it wouldn't wake Kyle up.
At least I'd have some answers.
I'm worried about you, Tom.
Finding Shawn and figuring out what happened to our son, that is my job.
How can you not know that? You look tired.
Try and get some rest.
I thought we were supposed to be watching the comet.
Oh, yeah, the comet.
Is it supposed to be that bright? Skouris here.
Get over here.
Now.
This cannot be good.
All right, listen up, everyone.
We're at DEFCON One.
These envelopes are orders from Home Sec.
Our first priority is secure SeaTac Airport, ground all the planes, gather up all the foreign dignitaries in the greater metropolitan area.
Get them, the local elected officials, take them all to the shelters in those orders.
Someone bring me up to speed.
Sid? The comet.
It's not a fly-by anymore.
It's heading right at us.
Sir, it just changed course and accelerated again.
A comet cannot change course.
This one has.
Then it's not a comet.
Revised estimate of velocity is How much time do we have? Impact in 28 minutes.
Sir.
Ryland.
Understood.
China just launched its missiles at it.
Get ready, guys.
We're going next.
There has been a launch.
The U.
S.
Military has launched a volley of 24 Titan II missiles.
Danny what's going on? All right.
Our missiles are in the air.
England has launched, too.
France and Russia.
NORAD's saying the first flight of missiles will intercept in 15 seconds.
Nine eight seven six five four Three two one.
We should get inside.
Multiple hits.
I think they got it.
NORAD is reporting that at least nine of the Titan II missiles have hit their target.
It appears the comet has No effect.
The comet is still headed right for us.
How hard will it hit? Something that big, that fast? You don't want to know.
You don't want to know.
I'm scared.
I'm going to go find my parents, okay? Hey, Dad? If you're there can you pick up the phone? It's Diana.
You know, your daughter.
Just tell my brother that I love him.
You tell Mommy that I love her, okay? Nancy, it's dad.
I just wanted to tell you I love you.
Catastrophic impact with Earth now appears unavoidable Tom, it's Susan.
What is going on? Where and exactly when this now certain Tom, isn't there a shelter we can go to? I mean, technically you still work for Homeland Security, don't you? Susan, it doesn't matter.
The shelters aren't going to make a damn bit of difference.
Just I'm sorry.
I love you, sis.
Just hug Danny close and pray for the best.
Sir, British missiles just hit the object but it's still coming.
It's entered the atmosphere.
I got it on SeaTac radar.
It's slowing down.
What? It's at Mach Seven, Mach Two.
It's going subsonic.
It's leveling off and continuing to lose speed.
It's as if it's coming in for a landing.
Landing? Wha like Like a plane? No, more like the mothership.
Give me some coordinates.
Where's it going? That's by Mount Rainier.
That's our backyard.
Come on, get the shot.
Get the shot.
We're, we're close to the base of Mount Rainier.
The ball of light is massive; It's hard to tell.
We're going to try to get closer.
I can tell you that this is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible sights I've ever seen.
We're still looking for some sort of official that might be here from the government.
Jim? Jim, what's going on? We're not sure what's just happened.
The ball of light is gone.
Thousands of people have just suddenly appeared.
This is amazing.
There are thousands of people as far as the eye can see.
I think I just I saw your brother.
Shawn? Yeah! Pull me all the files from the Northern Counties.
I want back in.
Tom, do you have any idea what I'm wading through here? I have over 4,000 people that stepped out of a ball of light and landed in my lap.
Some of them have been gone 60 years.
None of them have any memory of what happened to them.
You want me to drop everything because you want back in? I can help.
I needed help from you before.
When Home Sec asked me who I wanted to bring over from the Bureau, your name was at the top of the list.
What did I get from you? Five months.
And then an indefinite leave of absence.
You made fools out of both of us.
I needed to find the truth about what happened to my son.
And you still do.
And that's the reason you want back in because your nephew is one of the returnees.
Look, I admit I have a personal stake in this.
That's why I'll come through for you.
I need answers, too.
Diana Skouris.
Tom Baldwin.
You two will be one of the teams that's responsible for investiging what happened to the returnees.
Skouris, ex-CDC, right? Yeah, I heard of you, too.
You got to be kidding me, right? Is there a problem? He went MIA once.
Who's to say he won't do it again? Me.
Is this where you give me the "Be a good soldier" speech? No, this is where I give you the speech about how you're my best field scientist and Tom is my best lead investigator, and how together, you're going to make a good team.
Hmm.
Well, should be interesting.
Nice to meet you, too.
Beautiful.
The sooner we find out what's going on, the better for us.
The better for them.
What's your name again, sir? Julius.
Anita.
Amanda.
I want to see my family.
( speaks Spanish ) ( speaks German ) Orson Bailey.
It's not possible.
Why? It's 1979.
So for them, no time has passed.
Last night was our anniversary.
So between you and me, what do you think happened to them? Where do you think they've been? I don't know.
There had to be some kind of intelligence behind it.
As in the hand of God or little green men? I'm not discounting anything.
Here, look.
This is an interesting one.
They're dead, aren't they? This is Maia Rutledge.
She was the first one to disappear as far as we can tell.
She's eight years old, only she was born in 1938.
I'll be okay, mostly.
She's a tough little kid.
Look, there's one returnee I'd like to interview myself.
Yeah, so I've been told.
Returnee 2,117-- Shawn Farrell.
He's all yours.
All we're asking for is access.
These people deserve to see their families.
To receive legal representation.
They're private citizens who've done nothing wrong.
We don't know that.
It's been less than a week.
For all we know, these people could be walking time bombs, disease vectors, spies.
Sent by who? She doesn't like us much.
We've just seen thousands of The feeling's mutual.
The government won't tell us anything about it.
I believe a little paranoia is warranted and I believe that the majority of the American public agrees with me.
Well, fortunately, the American public has been know to disagree.
The Secretary of State is colored? You mean black.
I'll take your word for it.
The National Security Advisor, too.
Boy, the world sure has changed since '51.
You should try to relax, son.
You're not going to get out of here any quicker by wearing a groove in the floor.
Are you some kind of jailhouse philosopher? Barracks philosopher, actually.
Oh I was a combat pilot in Korea.
Nice tattoo.
Who's Lily? A girl I used to know.
Shawn Farrell, report to interview room one.
I'll see you.
Medical exams for group F returnees have been delayed by one hour What's your name again, sir? Orson Bailey.
I want to speak to someone in charge.
I mean, why can't I just make a call? -Uncle Tommy.
-Hi.
It's good to see you.
Look, what's going on? Nobody will tell us anything.
We'll let you know as soon as we find out.
I still can't believe it's you.
How do you think I feel? Listen, do you know how long they're going to keep us, because I really want to go home.
Shawn, do you remember anything? Anything at all about what happened that night? Nothing.
Nothing.
One minute I'm sitting there with Kyle on the beach.
The next it's three years later and I'm standing next to some mountain with a couple thousand strangers around me.
Listen, Uncle Tommy, some people are saying that we were abducted by aliens.
We can't rule anything out yet.
Well, can you give me anything? How's my mom? How's Danny? Fine, they're all fine.
They miss you.
Great.
Hey, what about Kyle? I mean, he must have seen something the night that I disappeared.
Did he tell you anything? He hasn't said a word.
He's okay, isn't he? Isn't he? Kyle's in a coma, Shawn.
What are you talking about? What I'm talking about is Kyle lying on a bed with a ventilator down his throat being fed through one tube and pissing out another.
He's been like that ever since the night you left.
He was fine last time I saw him.
We were having a couple of beers.
Look, don't you lie to me, Shawn.
-I'm not -Don't you lie to me! I've been waiting three years to hear the truth from you, so please don't lie to me.
I just told you the truth.
Is that what you've been thinking this whole time? That I gave Kyle something that messed him up and that I just took off? Screw you, Uncle Tommy.
I just told you everything I know.
Goddamn it! You look as bored as I feel.
I wish there were windows in this place.
I'd like to see the stars, wouldn't you? Do I look that bad? No, it's just you remind me of someone I used to know.
How long you've been gone? Since '51.
It wouldn't be me, then.
'93.
I'm Richard.
Lily.
My friend, her name was Lily, too.
Lily Bonham.
That's my grandmother's name.
Lily Bonham from Saint Louis? You knew my grandmother.
Is she still alive? I'm sorry.
She died before I was born.
Are you all right? Lily's dead and I'm sitting here with her granddaughter.
It doesn't make any sense.
No goddamn sense at all.
I know how you feel.
I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from this dream and tell my husband all about it.
You have you have a family? Yeah.
Brian and I and our daughter, Heidi.
She was six months when I So, what was she like, my grandmother? Oh Everyone says I look a lot like her.
They were right.
I'm sorry, that's not possible right now.
This is ridiculous.
You have no right to hold us here like this.
We haven't done anything wrong.
I'm sorry.
This is for you.
Well, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lawsuit by the ACLU on behalf of the families.
We don't have a legal right to hold them.
Okay, but some of these people have no place to go, no families left.
The word is, Egypt and China are refusing to repatriate its citizens.
India's on the fence.
Oh, wait a minute.
We're not kicking anybody out.
Whoever wants to stay can stay.
As far as American citizens, whoever leaves will get whatever assistance is required to get their life back on track: Medicare, unemployment, rent vouchers, vocational training.
Vocational training? We need to isolate these people.
They're not virus samples, they're human beings.
The order's been given.
We're letting them go.
I wouldn't book your vacations just ye Each Regional Homeland Security Office will be responsible for the returnees who settle in their region.
So, we'll be monitoring plus another 135 have chosen to remain in quarantine for the time being.
Each of our returnees will check in once a week.
Any difficulties faced by the returnees in our district will be handled by this office.
Finally, we'll continue with our ongoing investigation.
We'll all sleep better once we know what the hell's going on.
Thank you.
You look so lonely standing there without an ID number.
I'm supposed to be 82 years old.
There's no one here waiting for me.
So what are you going to do now that you're out? Head back to the old neighborhood, I suppose.
What about you? No, wait, let me guess.
Take your daughter to Woodland Park.
We used to love that place.
Of course, Heidi was barely crawling then and now she's 12.
Uh You've been a good friend.
They told me there'd be a bus to the city.
Yes, sir.
Right over there.
Thanks.
Hey, Mom! Danny! Shawn! Oh, my God.
Hey, buddy.
Oh Brian! Brian! Sorry, I How you doing? Good.
Let's Let's go.
Yeah, let's get out of her Thank you.
Can I help you? Heidi Yeah? Heidi, it's Mommy.
Who? Heidi It's, uh, it's okay, sweetie.
I got it.
Brian.
Lily.
Look at you.
You haven't aged a day.
Why didn't you come pick me up? Didn't Didn't they contact you? Yeah.
You have to try to understand, Lily.
I didn't think I was ever gonna see you again.
I'm married, Lily.
Carol has been a really good mother to Heidi and we have a son now, too, a little boy.
I'm sorry.
Lily, I'm Lily.
Elizabeth? Orson? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you.
I know.
Where's the car? We're going to be late for dinner.
I'm sorry, hon.
Things got a little out of control.
But it won't happen again.
Hi, Mom.
Sweetie.
Hey, Shawn.
Oh, y, George.
Hey, guys.
Good to see you.
Yeah, sorry your buddies couldn't show.
I guess most of them are away at college.
They're just jealous I get to enjoy two more years of high school.
High school's not that bad.
Hey, Shawn.
Remember me? Nikki? No.
Last time I saw you, you were just a little kid.
Now look at you.
Lucky me, huh? Yeah, guess so.
What the hell are you looking at? I used to live here.
Yeah? Well, I live here now.
Get the hell out of here.
Why did you bring me here? I thought I'd put a human face on the returnees for you.
Remind you they're people, not viruses.
Tom.
You going to introduce me to your new friend? Uh, Linda, this is, uh, this is my partner.
My work partner.
Diana Skouris.
Diana, this is my wife, Linda.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
We're separated.
Oh.
Call me.
We need to talk.
Well, that was awkward.
Really? Yeah.
I hadn't noticed.
Give me a second.
Hey, how you doing? You look thirsty.
Thank you.
I-I just wanted you to know I'm I really am glad you're back.
Whatever, Uncle Tom.
Geez.
Neck's broken.
Reflection must have confused him, huh? Yeah.
Why don't you come back inside? You're missing your own party.
I know.
It's just weird being in there I guess he was just stunned.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
I'll see you in there.
lovely people and that, that in Quarantine, right? Besides, there's nothing we can handle, right, Maia? That would be nice.
Well, we should get going.
It's a bit of a drive to Everett.
Yeah, terrific.
Good luck, Maia.
You'll see me again.
Yeah, next week.
Sooner than that.
And when we bought the building, your mother said, "What? That old thing?" Can I get you anything? Uh water, that'd be fine.
Mary could you get Mr.
Bailey some water? Just down here.
You know, I can't get over it.
You look exactly the same as the last time I saw you.
And you were what, 13 Your father asked me to show you the ropes.
Looks like I succeeded.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
So what can I do for you, Mr.
Bailey? My old corner office, for starters.
Thank you A secretary, some business cards.
I should be able to start seeing clients within a week or so.
You're looking for a job? This is still Kensington & Bailey, isn't it? I'm embarrassed.
Uh Times are tight.
I just had to lay off three of my actuaries.
I don't have any openings right now, Mr.
Bailey.
Openings? I'm a partner here.
Mr.
Bailey, your interest in this company was bought out when you were declared dead.
I'm not dead.
Well, your wife accepted the settlement.
It is all legal.
Don't be too sure of that.
What happened to me there is no precedent.
You are right about that, but it might be years until precedent is established.
Until that happens, all of you returnees are going to have to get in line and plead your case in front of a judge.
I mean, do you have the kind of resources to? Have you seen the place my wife is in? I have to get her out of there.
I don't think we should discuss is any further.
I need money.
Now.
The living room and there's the kitchen.
-Do you want to see your room? -Okay.
I think it's really nice.
It's the one over here.
Come here.
We just had it redone.
It's a very nice room.
I got you a few outfits to start.
Tomorrow we'll go shopping.
You can pick out some more yourself.
Okay.
Maia.
Honey.
We have a rule.
No shoes on the furniture.
I don't want them to get wet.
Wet? Why would they get wet? Why don't you get cleaned up? We're going to eat soon.

Adam, it's Orson.
Let me in.
I want to talk.
I know you can hear me.
Let me in! You want me to wake the whole neighborhood? Tom? What are you doing here? Your phone is off.
Ryland wants us to come in.
What's up? There's been a murder.
The police are holding one of the 4400.
That's him.
That's Orson Bailey.
Bailey-- some kind of businessman, right? Right.
-Life insurance? -Yeah.
Disappeared in the '70s.
'79, declared dead in '86.
Seattle police are holding him in connection with a homicide in Madison Park last night.
Do they know he's one of the 4400? Bailey told them.
That's why they called us.
Well, I thought the returnees were told not to discuss their status.
Well, we counsel them to avoid it if they possibly can, but, you know, we were talking job interviews and housing applications.
There's not really a protocol for being questioned about a murder.
You said holding, not charging.
That's right.
There are some conflicting reports about what actually went on at the crime scene.
We'll check it out.
Quietly.
I don't want to be dodging microphones at the 6:00 news.
Quietly it is.
Diana? Hi, this is Linda.
I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message and I'll call you back.
Linda, it's me again.
You said we needed to talk, so pick up the phone.
Linda, come on.
All right, call me.
Everything all right? Yeah, same old same old.
Call me, don't call me.
I wish she'd make up her mind.
You know, I had a boyfriend once.
Every time he'd tell A boyfriend? Well, don't look so surprised.
Yeah, anyway, the thing about this guy that used to drive.
You can stop.
I barely got started.
All I'm saying is, you don't have to try to make me feel better.
Well, it was more of an attempt at bonding via a shared similar experience.
Can you open the door? How long did you go out with this guy? Nine months.
-Nine months? -Mm-hmm.
So, you're equating your nine months of dating with my 19 years of marriage? Yeah, you're right.
Okay, forget it.
You want me to drive? What for? I don't know.
So you can brood? Just get in.
Look who floated in on a ball of light.
Remember me, Farrell? Rossi Hi Well, it looks like the steroids finally kicked in.
Funny man.
Funny.
Always did appreciate your sense of humor.
Like that time you sold me those concert tickets right before you disappeared.
To the Foo Fighters? How was the show? I wouldn't know; the cops were waiting for me when I showed up.
Tickets were stolen, man.
You got me arrested.
You got arrested for stolen tickets? Yeah, I had five tabs of X on me.
I had to pee into a cup once a week for two years because of you! Stop it! Hey, hey! Come on! Get off of him.
This is between me and your brother.
Yeah? Well, I'm making it between you and me.
See you around, freak.
Oh, by the way, how'd you like the new paint job on your ride? You okay? I'm fine.
The security cameras caught everything.
The guy definitely had a bug up his ass.
Except, as far as we can tell, he never went inside.
Kensington fell into all that glass and impaled himself.
You've been through all the footage? Every scrap.
Bailey never made it past the gate.
Wait.
Hold on a second.
Did you see that? That's glass.
Yeah.
Something blew out the windows, but from the inside.
Yeah, we're still trying to figure that one out.
There was no seismic activity.
No evidence of a bomb or a gas leak.
And Bailey's not talking? We've sent half a dozen guys in there, but he hasn't given us anything.
Look, I've been over and over this with you people.
We're not the police.
We're Homeland Security.
Well, tell the bozos out there that I had nothing to do with what happened to Adam.
Let's just go over your day again.
You went to see Adam Kensington about a job, and even though your name is still on the company letterhead, he brushed you off.
I know how that'd make me feel.
I admit it, I was angry.
I went to Adam's house to, uh I don't know why I went, but I didn't kill him.
Let me read you an e-mail Kensington sent his attorney after your visit.
It's not important.
Just a sec.
"Bailey is making desperate claims "regarding his financial stake in the company.
"He actually threatened to sue.
"I don't think he realizes "that there are probably going to be "hundreds of lawsuits involving the 4400.
"It'll take years.
"The poor bastard, he really is a rather pathetic case.
" I am not a lawyer, but I'm not an idiot either.
You've had me here for 12 hours.
Now, either you charge me with something.
or let me go.
So, we're just going to let him walk, after what happened in there? Yeah, looks like it.
But for future reference, if I ever want to play good cop/bad cop, I'll let you kwow.
Which one do I get to be? This isn't a joke.
There's a time to lean on a guy, and that wasn't it.
You shut him down.
Look, I'm sorry.
But Bailey admitted he was angry with Kensington.
He was at his house.
I didn't say it was over, did I? Do you think they ever thought about me? Oh, sweetie! They were your parents.
I am sure that they thought about you every day.
Thanks for bringing me here.
This place used to be so nice.
Now the kids leave their garbage everywhere.
Ah, it really is a shame.
You don't have to worry.
Crown Ridge is nice.
Crown Ridge Cemetery? Yes.
That's where you'll be.
Be? Be what? Buried.
Kensington's a popular guy around here today.
The whole staff's been through to look at the postmortem.
Yeah, why's that? Well, he might have been a boring old suit when he was alive, but in death he's a rock star.
God, look at that! Those were his parietal bones? We've seen beating deaths in here as bad as you can imagine.
Even the guy that jumped off the Space needle and had to be brought to us in a garbage bag.
But I have never seen a skull in this kind of shape before.
Thousands of tiny little bone fragments Kensington was impaled.
Are you saying that's not how he died? Oh, that would have killed him, but he was already dead from a shattered skull.
Hello? Hello.
Is, uh Lily there? Who? Is this Heidi? Yes.
I'm Richard Tyler.
A friend of your mother's.
My mother's name is Carol.
Are you sure you have the right number? This is the Moore residence, isn't it? Yeah, but there's no one named Lily here.
Sorry.
Well, I'm afraid I can't give you any medicine for the nausea.
Why not? Because it wouldn't work.
You're not sick, Lily.
You're pregnant.
That's impossible.
The-the quarantine doctors would have told me.
You said they gave you a full screening seven weeks ago.
If you just conceived, it wouldn't have shown up in their tests.
Conceived?! When? I assume it happened right before you disappeared.
But there's no mistake.
You're definitely pregnant.
Now, there's nothing to worry about.
I would like to see you again next week, and you can get used to the information.
Shawn! Hey.
How you doing? -Mm good.
-What's up? You get your car fixed? It's going to be in the shop for about a week.
Yeah.
You know, Danny and I are going to a party tonight at Eddie Tobin's house.
You should come.
I don't think so.
Why not? Um, well, they're going to be listening to music I've never listened to, talking about movies I've never seen.
School is bad enough.
Partying with a bunch of runts from Is that how you saw me, a runt? You were 14, Nikki.
And now? I'm late for class.
Where's my wife? My wife, where is she? Mr.
Bailey, you have our deepest condolences.
What? We called your hotel room, there was no answer.
Elizabeth? It was a pulmonary embolism, about 1:00 this morning.
We tried to revive her.
No! A pulmonary embolism Please, Mr.
Bailey.
Calm down.
Don't tell me she's dead.
Mr.
Bailey, just calm down.
She's all I have! Let go of me! No! No! Get away from me! So the red dots mark the spots where the American members of the 4400 originally lived.
You mean the returnees.
Not according to the press.
It's the 4400.
You know, you have to admit, it's a bit strange, a nice round number like that.
I wonder if it has any significance.
So you're saying that if 3,781 people had suddenly showed up that night, it wouldn't have been as strange? I'd say slightly less strange.
This, however, is downright weird.
Here's where the 4400 are right now, two weeks after their release.
They're just not going home.
And none of them can come up with a good reason as to why.
You think it means something? In the CDC, we'd call this a statistically significant disease cluster.
Yeah, well, in the FBI, we'd call it a freaky coincidence.
Well, I don't believe in coincidences.
Disease clusters.
I believe in those.
What do you mean, you're pregnant? I just found out a few days ago.
I don't understand.
When you disappeared, I'd been in New York for weeks studying for the bar.
I can't explain it.
I haven't been with anyone else.
So what are we talking, immaculate conception? I don't know what we're talking about.
I wish I did.
You know, when you disappeared I would have given anything in the world to talk to you again.
I had whole conversations with you in my head.
I missed you so much, Lily.
But we can't do this.
I have another family now.
And I'm sorry, I know that's not fair you, but Brian, I'm still part of your life, whether you want me to be or not.
Lily, you haven't been a part of my life for 11 years.
I want to see Heidi.
I'm sorry, that's impossible.
She's my daughter.
She doesn't know that.
She thinks that Carol is her mother.
You never told her about me? She was a baby when you left.
Hell, we were babies when you left.
You can't stop me from seeing her.
I already have.
What is that? It's a temporary restraining order.
Brian, I haven't done anything wrong.
Lily, I'm a lawyer.
I know how to work the system.
Now, I don't want to use this, but I will if you force me to.
My first priority has to be to protect my family.
I am your family.
I wish you were, but you're not.
Not anymore.
I'm sorry, Lily, I'm asking you, please, stay away from Heidi.
And from me.
I'm sorry, Lily.
At first I thought it was an earthquake.
Everything was shaking, falling off the walls.
But then-- I can't believe I'm going to say this-- things started to fly around the room.
Paper, chairs.
What do you mean, fly? I mean fly, like it was a tornado.
Except there was no wind.
Everybody was screaming, Mr.
Bailey was shouting.
My head felt like it was going to burst.
And then suddenly it was over.
What about Bailey? Oh, he looked scared.
Like the rest of us.
That's when he ran away.
The staff everyone's saying he's one of these people, the 4400.
Is that true? Listen to me very carefully.
You are not going to talk about this to the press or anyone else, and the same goes for your staff.
If I pick up a paper and see a word of this or I see it reported on the news, I'm going to take an interest in this place.
Things flying around the room.
I know, but we got a half dozen witnesses all saying the same thing.
Yeah, flying.
I've got to do a briefing for Home Sec DC in the morning and I'm going to tell them what? Well, I'd go with "the incident is under investigation.
" Bailey checked out of his hotel after he left the nursing home.
He could be on the run, we're not sure.
Find him.
You bought us some time, but this story's going to leak and I want Bailey in our hands before it does.
So is calculus everything you remember it to be? Uh, you heard about Williamson and Ms.
Sinclair, right? No.
No? Oh, they found them in the janitor's closet.
What is that? Making out, not dead.
What? Everybody in school's been talking about it.
Yo, freak.
You still hiding behind your little brother? You know what, Brad? You need to shut it down.
You want to shut me down? You know, the only thing I'm shutting down is you, bitch.
You're really starting to piss me off now.
Come on.
Bring it.
Shut me down.
Let him go.
Shawn! What did you do to him? Hey, keep your voice down, she'll hear you.
It's bad enough she tells us we're going to be buried at Crown Ridge Cemetery, but the next day we get a brochure from the place in the mail? It's a coincidence.
Look, she's not what we expected, so let's just talk to her.
Yeah.
I Maia It's okay.
I knew I wasn't going to be here very long.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
Give me the ball.
Your shot, space boy.
What is your problem, Danny? What's my problem? Yeah, what's your problem? What'd you do to Brad? Come on, Danny.
Not you, too.
Come on The way he went down, that's not normal.
You know it, I know it, everybody saw it.
What are you saying? You tell me.
I didn't do anything to him, all right, Danny? Not a thing.
And is this all that's left when you're done? I mean, poor Mrs.
Bailey.
It's a box of trinkets.
They're not trinkets, they're memories.
The kind you leave behind, you know, for your family and friends.
I should get to work on that.
I'm not going there.
Well, believe it or not, some of us are happier alone.
No one's happier alone.
If they think that, they're kidding themselves.
I thought you weren't going there.
You see this? This looks promising.
"Wyler Summer Cabin.
" Wyler was Elizabeth's maiden name.
Orson's panicking, he needs a place to run.
Well, there's no address.
We'll have to find one.
It's better this way.
For everyone.
Everyone? Or just you? Maia, honey, you know this isn't about you.
You are a wonderful girl.
It's just, Kenneth and I, we just made a mistake.
We're not ready to be parents yet.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
But, sweetie, those things you say, they can scare people if you're not careful.
Do you understand? Good.
For you.
Go ahead, take it.
What is it? A CD I burned.
Think of it as a crash course in all things new and cool.
The Darkness, Handsome Boy, Modeling School, Killing Joke.
All the bands you never heard of.
Thank you.
But, Nikki, I could listen to all the music and watch all the shows, but it wouldn't matter 'cause they're still going to look at me like I'm different.
At least you'll be listening to some good music.
I don't understand.
See, because everybody has been looking at me like I'm some kind of monster since the fight.
But you aren't you afraid to be seen with me? No.
What do I care what those creeps think? If you like the CD, I'll burn you another one.
-Sounds great.
-All right.
-Okay.
-Okay.
See you.
I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Hello? Okay, bring up the satellite shots.
So we're looking for a small house with a north-facing exposure somewhere within the vicinity of Appleton Lake.
If it's still standing.
No structures in grids one, two, three and nine.
Four and seven each have one, but they're the wrong shape.
Let's eliminate all those.
That leaves us with five, six and eight.
That's too small.
at's the wrong orientation.
That's too small, that's too big.
Nothing but trees in eight.
It's not there anymore.
Hang on a second.
Get in a little tighter on this.
Well it looks like it could be a house.
No, this was taken 50 years ago.
These trees would be huge by now.
Enlarge again.
Bingo.
There's your house.
Bingo.
Appleton's what, about 70 miles? Yeah.
Look, when we get up there, I'll handle Bailey.
All right.
Are we leaning on him? No leaning.
No problem.
Excuse me.
You Tom Baldwin? Yeah, who are you? You've been served.
Sorry, man.
You're getting sued? Linda's filed for divorce.
Lily.
Richard! Richard.
Oh.
I don't understand.
I I thought you went home.
I did, but there was nothing there for me.
But, uh How did you find me here? Woodland Park, right? This is where you used to bring Heidi.
Richard, was terrible.
Brian's remarried.
Heidi doesn't know anything Hello, Maia.
Hello.
Oh I like it out here.
It's much better than my stuffy office.
But you didn't bring me out here to talk about the weather.
-You're a very smart little girl.
Thank you.
The thing is that the Griffins didn't really give a reason why they brought you back.
Maybe they didn't have a reason.
Could be.
Were they mean to you? No.
Were you mean to them? No.
Why do you think you're back here? I don't think they like kids much.
Why do you say that? They brought me back and I'm a kid.
You don't really want to tell me the reason, do you? That's okay.
Maybe you'll change your mind one day.
Maybe.
Hi, this is Linda.
I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message and I'll call you back.
What, she's still not answering? Nope.
Can I ask you a question? No.
Well, I'm going to ask you anyway.
So your son, how long has he been in a coma? Three years.
That's a long time.
You have no idea.
Maybe you and your wife, you can work things out? You know, one day Kyle's going to wake up and I'll have to tell him his whole family's fallen apart.
I go to that hospital every day and I tell myself that makes me a good father.
Oh, you are a good father.
Kyle's lucky to have a dad like you.
Not everyone does.
You can trust me, 'cause I know.
A baby? You sure? I had the doctors do the test three times.
'Cause the thing is that Brian was out of town when I disappeared and I haven't been with anyone since I've been back.
I don't understand it.
How-how could you be? I don't know.
I'm sorry to be dumping this on you.
It doesn't It's not really fair.
It's okay.
I want to help.
There's some sort of connection between us, isn't there? I feel it.
I can feel it, too.
That's why I came back.
But it's more complicated than that.
Your grandmother and I, we weren't just friends, it was it was more than that.
We were going to start a family.
I think part of me already knew that.
The way you talk about her.
The look in your eye.
Here it is, I thought I was playing it so safe.
It must have been difficult, the two of you, a white woman and a black man in the '50s.
Mmm.
Black.
Back then I was Negro, colored or worse.
We didn'care.
We figured after the war, we'd take off to some big city like Chicago or New York or Paris.
But you never made it home.
No.
I never did.
I'm glad you found me.
Me, too.
* Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * * When you're gone * * Bye, bye, baby * * Don't be long * * I worry about you * Mr.
Bailey, it's Tom Baldwin, Homeland Security.
We met at the police station, remember? Mr.
Bailey, we're here to help but you've got to talk to us.
Go away.
I'm afraid we can't do that.
I just want to be left alone.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
That's good because we don't want anyone else hurt.
If you leave, I promise no one will ever see me again.
-I'll just stay here -Listen to me away from everyone.
We both know that's not going to work, Mr.
Bailey.
Now please, open the door.
We can figure this out together.
I'm on your side.
No, you're not.
No one is.
My nephew, he's one of the 4400.
Just like you.
I've seen how hard it is for him.
I know it's even harder for you.
You don't know anything.
My wife, she was everything to me.
Believe me, I'm sorry for your loss.
I don't want any pity out of you.
Go away! I just want to be left alone.
We can't do that.
I said get away from me.
Stay away, please.
Tom.
Your nose.
Hold on I can't control it.
Whatever it is you're doing, Mr.
Bailey, stop it.
I can't control it.
Stop it now! You all right? Yeah.
I'll call for an ambulance.
Okay.
We're going to get you some help, Mr.
Bailey.
Just don't die on me.
