uh,no.
hello.
oh,my god.
you must be maia.
april skouris,black sheep of the family.
di,you are so lucky.
look at this fabulous kid you got.
and no labor,no stretch marks,no diapers no crappy husband.
oh,wait,that was me.
how come i never met you before? -it's complicated.
-we've been busy.
okay,we'll stick with "busy.
" whatever.
i'm here now.
so where are you staying while you're in town? this couch looks comfortable.
it's not an execution,shawn.
last time i was on stage|was my fourth-grade spelling bee.
these people are interested in us.
they want to hear what we have to say.
you'll think of something.
hello.
my name is shawn farrell, and i am one of the 4400.
uh,a few months ago, i never thought anyone would ever clap when i said that.
but we didn't know then what we know now-- the future of mankind is in jeopardy, and right here,with your help, is where we start to set things straight.
if you join us here-- mr.
collier,mr.
dravitt's here for you.
thank you.
the best version of yourselves.
ian.
thanks for fitting me in.
interesting place you got here.
i'm not going to be abducted by aliens,am i? no,ian.
they weren't aliens.
they were from the--future i know.
so you've told me,ad nauseum.
look,it's all the same sideshow to me.
so,here i am.
here you are.
what say we get down to business? ian dravitt.
founder and ceo of executive projections, a multinational corporation based in zimbabwe.
your company wants to do |business in a third world country, they'll show you the lay of the land.
it's all perfectly legitimate-- yeah,on the surface, but dravitt's real money comes |from mercenary activity and arms dealing.
sold grenade launchers to the i.
r.
a.
, white phosphorus landmines to |the shining path guerrillas in peru so what's he selling to collier? good question, but our observation teams can't even| tell you what time collier takes lunch.
beyond the lobby,that place is a mystery.
i mean,we've sent our agents |in disguised as air conditioning guys, fiber optics repairmen-- yeah,we get a bug in,|it's yanked before the day is over.
probably sweeping the place every few hours.
as far as collier's pow-wows with dravitt all we can do is guess.
you think he's stockpiling weapons? oh,arms,anthrax-- nothing would surprise me.
i mean,collier's all but said |he's at war with the u.
s.
government.
could be laying down |a defense perimeter around the center.
that way,if we ever have to go in there,he'll be ready.
think waco.
jonestown.
jarvis.
i'll send them down.
mr.
navarro? i'm agent skouris.
this is agent-- please please,don't talk.
it's too noisy.
your voices and your thoughts,they just all bleed together.
the e.
r.
report said you were going on about-- no voices.
just concentrate on what you want to ask me, and i'll hear you.
a couple of weeks ago.
it was during a game.
i could hear everyone's thoughts.
at first,it was just the pitcher,which was pretty good,actually because i knew everything he was going to throw before he threw it.
went five for five.
two homers,two singles,and a double.
that is exactly what-- yeah,it was great when it started, but i can't control it.
first,it was everyone on the team, and then everyone in the stands, and then,i don't know,it was just just everyone.
it's like this ocean of noise crashing around in my head.
i want someone to make it go away.
that's what i want.
i was this close to making it to the majors when i got snatched.
this time,i'm gonna make it.
i have to make it.
what,so navarro is really some kind of mind reader? i believe "telepath" is the word you're looking for.
well,call it something else| if the word makes you uncomfortable, but the guy definitely knew what we were thinking.
interesting gift.
i could think of a few practical applications for it.
dr.
ostman gave him some haloperidol.
it calmed him down,quieted the noise some.
so he can function as long as he's on antipsychotic meds? we don't have to fit him for any straitjacket, but he's not going to be hitting any knuckleballs either, which is all he wants to do.
yeah,i'll put ntac medical on it.
if they can help him,they will.
great.
kyle baldwin.
social security number? there it is.
baldwin nope.
you're not eligible to register.
sure i am.
i got in last semester.
i just took deferred admission.
except your tuition hasn't been paid.
what are you talking about? my dad sent a check.
nope.
baldwin.
glad i caught you.
i've got navarro's transfer forms right here.
you sign them,he's on his way to ntac medical.
yeah,i will,but not just yet.
why not? well,we want to know what collier and ian dravitt are up to.
a 4400 who can read minds just walked through the front door.
you want to use navarro as a mole? is that even legal? mm-hmm.
d.
c.
cleared it.
well,how about ethical? guy's asking us for help.
hell,he's even begging us.
and we'll help him.
but he's got to help us first.
what if he says no? then you'll get him to say yes.
excuse me.
can we get one more blanket? the one we have is kind of thin.
yeah,well,they're all kind of thin, but if you want to bring it down,i'll switch you.
oh,i think we might need both.
you might think you need them, but you aren't going to get them.
see,there's only so many rooms and so many blankets.
and you have your allotment.
my baby is cold.
can i please have one more blanket so she doesn't get sick? i'll give you five dollars.
i'm a sucker for a pretty face.
he wasn't very nice to us,was he? here.
thank you what of thay catch me? we'll be monitoring you|every step of the way we plant a tiny transmitter/receiver|behind your ear under the skin takes 10 minutes,no scar if things go south|we'll be in there like the cavalry when i was a kid,my,uh my favorite show was|<n.
c.

we'll come and get you if we need to.
it's your call.
gary,talk to me.
okay.
um y-y-you guys are going to hold up your end of this deal,right? yes.
of course.
okay,okay.
i'll,uh,i'll hold up my end, and i'll hang in as long as i can.
good.
we'll hang in with you.
now,listen,gary, someone's going to be on this channel 24/7,remember? yeah right right i,uh,|i readlast night.
just like your syllabus said.
|that's a good start.
well,not just the first 20 pages.
i got really into it|i read the whole thing.
it definitely wasn't boring.
i've got a lot of questions,though.
okay,well,|i have office hours wednesdays,one to four.
okay,yeah,i'll try to stop by.
or we could run by |the coop and grab some coffee? like,right now? i like talking about joseph conrad.
it's why i picked this for a living.
where did you learn to do all this? mom never taught us to cook.
i don't know|i just learned how.
had to be better than you at something.
aunt april,do you have any kids? nope.
no kids.
are you married? i used to be.
ask your mom what |she thought of my ex-husband.
don't start.
you didn't like him? neither did april,apparently.
she only stayed with trevor for what,seven months? you were hostile from day one.
you never gave him a chance.
i didn't really think he deserved much of a chance.
he was kind of a moron.
he was 22.
show me one guy who isn't a moron at 22.
he knew you hated him, and that didn't make it any easier for us to stay together.
come on.
you can't keep blaming that on me.
i mean,just grow up.
okay,this was a mistake.
i thought it was a good idea to come here, but obviously i was wrong.
i'll go pack.
there's a little hotel up the street.
no! it's okay,honey.
we'll still see-- but the power's going to go out there tonight, and you won't have any lights.
what is she talking about? can i please be excused? mr.
navarro,is something wrong? this is no good.
i need my haloperidol.
where's collier? mr.
collier's in a meeting.
mr.
navarro? mr.
navarro [diana.]
: gary,what's wrong? [gary.]
: i just got to talkto collier.
that's not a good idea,gary.
mr.
navarro-- he's in a meeting! make it stop.
please,make it stop.
make it stop.
i need my medication.
whatever's eating you,old son,we'll make it stop.
count on that.
a 4400 who can read minds? so you do have an ability.
you shouldn't have lied to me,gary.
you mean to tell me that this guy knows what i'm thinking? because i do not like anyone inside my head but me.
jordan,this guy's one of us.
we can't just stand here and let him get killed.
nobody's killing anyone.
first we determine what our man here knows and then we discuss his fate.
because there are things i know that could get you killed! that could get all of you killed.
call jarvis.
tell her we're going in.
look,ian-- shut up! shut up now! hi.
i'm evan.
welcome to the 4400 center.
second level's not open to visitors.
we're not visitors.
hey,look,buddy,i've got a badge too, and this is private property.
what the hell's he doing to him? let him go, or so help me, i'll splatter your brains all over your highly polished floor.
now,that is enough.
drop that weapon! now! how the hell did you get in here? you don't sound so happy to see us.
well,now.
what in the hell is this? ntac agents.
i don't appreciate the government interfering in my business.
you should be more careful who you do business with.
they're not buying weapons.
they're planning a coup overseas,some tiny country.
you sent a spy in here,uncle tommy? good job.
you almost got us all killed.
you too,mr.
dravitt.
well,it'll be interesting to see if your friend's impressions will stand up in court.
i guess i'm the one should be more careful who i do business with.
shawn,you can come with us if you want.
great.
i'll tell your mother you said hello.
gary,you should have come to me first.
i'd have treated you better than they ever will.
we're at war here.
don't pick the losing side.
look at the cute little baby.
i think somebody wants to try your toy,walt.
i think you're right.
hi.
hi.
put her back in the car? why? now,please.
what's your problem? that little boy was being sweet with her.
i just didn't want anybody getting hurt.
hurt? who's going to get hurt? what if she doesn't want to give the toy back? what's going to happen then? don't look at me like you don't know what i'm talking about.
those three men in the woods they wanted us dead.
you saw what happened to them.
that was isabelle.
we both know it, and there's no use in pretending otherwise.
whatever isabelle does,she does it out of love for us.
she's our daughter,richard.
i know she is.
i love her right back,but she's something else too, and i wish to god i knew what that was.
what is it? what's wrong? i'm fine.
so,what? so collier planned to spend $30 million funding mercenary activity in sao tome? they've had three coups since their independence in '75.
my guess? collier was trying to buy number four.
did gary happen to hear why collier's so interested in an island off the west coast of africa? without his medication, we're lucky to have got that much out of him.
yeah,but we do know that collier thinks he's headed towards a conflict with someone ntac,the entire government,i don't know.
he installs a friendly government in sao tome.
it could have been a place to go when things heat up.
what,like a homeland for the 4400? too bad you can't prosecute a man for delusions of grandeur.
they're not delusions if you can make them come true.
we're always one step behind collier because we keep seeing him as some kind of cult nut.
what we should be asking ourselves is, before collier was abducted, did he ever set his mind to something and not get it done? they didn't make him any dumber in that ball of light.
well,anyway,we wanted to know what collier was thinking.
gary found out for us.
time to turn him over to ntac medical,right? soon.
"soon"? the nsa is cc'd any time we register a new 4400 ability.
they have been leaning on d.
c.
to borrow gary for an op they've got planned.
no-- no more cloak-and-dagger stuff.
he'll sit in on a few conferences.
you know how it is with diplomats.
they don't always say what they think.
that wasn't the agreement i made with him.
but terms have changed.
gary's too valuable.
i gave him my word.
you're turning me into a liar.
you've been in the game almost 20 years.
my guess is, you've committed all the seven deadly sins, just like the rest of us.
i should have let him stay with collier.
he might have used him,but he would've helped him too.
don't you ever use me again.
all i wanted was to play ball.
you guys promised to help, but you can't do that,can you? we're worried about the 4400.
it seems more and more like they should be worried about us.
you know that bar,mel's? corner of lancaster and third? you feel like joining me? we don't go to bars.
well,i'm going tonight,with you or without you.
