Only one thing|missing-- Mom.
We really tried to make it work.
How was your first day|of college? I didn't have one.
Nobody paid|my tuition.
I'm sorry,kyle.
|I must have forgot.
You've been talking|about this for months.
How could you forget? You spent three years|in a coma.
You have no business|drinking anything! You told me everything|that happened that night,right? Yeah.
Any coffee left? Help yourself.
Couldn't find a clean t-Shirt? This is what i wear|to school.
I like it.
|You're looking sharp.
Thanks.
So How you doing,dad? Good.
Fine.
Why? No reason.
|Just,uh You know,good luck.
|Okay? I'll be thinking|about you.
I'll call you.
|See how it goes.
Okay? See you.
Hey,|there he is! What's all this? Welcome back.
The prodigal son|returns.
Returns from where? Get your gear on.
|We got to roll.
Tom,i am so glad|to see you.
Yeah,you and everyone else.
As soon as we take|doherty down, We're going to|pop the champagne.
Doherty?|Who's doherty? Diana,stop.
|Fill me in here.
Who's doherty? Does he have something|to do with collier's murder? What,governor collier? What are you talking about?|He's not dead.
This was|garrity's idea,right? Got to admit,|it's creative, But "screw with|tom baldwin day"is over.
Hey,listen,tom,|don't do this.
The doctors gave you|a clean bill of health.
Doctors?|What doctors? Where is everybody headed? And what the hell is going on|around here today? I think you should|probably just stay here.
We'll talk|when i get back.
Diana,just-- So,this guy,doherty,|is he a 4400? What's a 4400? Please,stop this.
Four thousand,four hundred|missing people The future sent them back|in a ball of light.
Any of this|sound familiar? Diana,|i'm not laughing, So whatever game|you're playing, Stop it,and stop it right now.
Tom,whatever|you've been through In the past few months, I can't even|imagine it, And everyone here is pulling|for your recovery, But you've got to|listen to yourself.
You sound delusional.
The future? I mean,i've never|heard of the 4400, And i can promise you That nobody ever came back|in a ball of light.
Tell me one thing.
According to you, What have we been doing|for the last year? You're serious.
Humor me.
It's your case,|tom.
Dirty bombs,|remember? You went undercover And infiltrated|an aum shinrikyo terror cell.
None of this means anything|to you,does it? Of course not.
|Why should it? Well,your cover|was compromised.
They held you|for three weeks.
Sleep deprivation,|torture-- They'd have killed you|if you didn't escape.
So how does doherty|fit in? Aum shinrikyo's been planning|an attack on the u.
S.
Since they've been sneaking|radioactive material Into the country|in museum pouches.
Doherty's the curator.
He's been in bed with them|all along.
Tom,he sold you out.
You spent three weeks in hell|'cause of this guy.
You've been|on medical leave For two months,|recovering,and Obviously,|it should have been three.
Jordan collier|museum of contemporary art.
Tell me you recognize|this place.
I recognize it,all right Well,that's a start.
But everything's different.
This is the spot.
This is where collier got shot.
Do me a favor.
Don't let anyone else|hear you say that.
Tom? Tom! Is he in there? Yeah,i think so.
You want to do|the honors? Did you find|anything? Somebody's been messing|with my computer.
All my case files are gone.
I type "4400"|into a search engine,and Nothing.
How could there not be|a single mention of them? I don't know.
|Maybe because None of it ever happened? Something has obviously|changed.
This is not the same world|that it was yesterday.
But i'm still tom baldwin, And you're still diana skouris, Which means that the people|they took, They exist too,right? Gary navarro.
We worked with him last month.
He could read thoughts.
Read thoughts? Tom,come on.
Played for cincinnati? Lifetime .
317 batting average.
Isn't it .
300 When you know what|the pitcher's thinking? Buthe was never taken! Richard tyler.
What did he have?|Heat vision? No,some of them|can dothings.
Some of them|some of them can't.
He's dead.
He's plane was shot down|over sinanju in 1951.
So that's two down.
Are we going to go through|all 4,398 more? I'll take my boots off|if we are.
Diana,your daughter.
|Your daughter! Your daughter,maia rutledge.
You adopted her,|right? She's one of them.
Tom,don't include me|in your fantasy life.
You know i don't have|a daughter.
Yes! Right here.
It's a seattle address|for maia rutledge.
It's right here.
Right here.
Oh,thank god.
|Maia,it's me.
It's me,tom.

|- My name is ella.
Maia's my grandmother.
Ella,who is it? Oh,here she is.
This is my grandmother.
You're maia rutledge? Can i help you? Didn't expect you home|so soon.
How'd you do out there|today? Glad to see you,too.
|Everything okay? Just tell me one thing.
You were in a coma|for three years,right? If i have one more of these, I could wind up in a coma|right now.
Come on.
I want to show you|something.
Come on.
Uncle tommy.
|We can eat,finally.
How you doing? Shawn,what are you doing here? Well,the band|got delayed in berlin.
We're not going to start|recording until tuesday.
Besides,i couldn't miss|your big day.
Or danny's.
|Come on,tell them.
Believe it or not,|she actually said "yes.
" We're getting married.
Look,he bought me this! Oh,i told him|i didn't even want one Till he was|out of law school.
I like that.
|You like that? Are you all right,mr.
Baldwin? Dad,do you|need to sit? It can't be a joke.
There's too many people|in on it.
Sit down.
So then either|i'm cracking up, Or the world is.
Dad,the doctors said|you were okay.
I don't want to scare you,|but something's wrong.
I don't recognize|this place.
I mean,|i sort of do, But everything's|been tweaked.
Dad,dad,|look at me.
You're not making|any sense.
You know that,|right? You guys started|without us? Just as well.
|Airport traffic was insane.
Hi,guys,nikki.
Can you believe my kid,|my youngest kid, Is getting married? When the hell|did we get so old? So you're back in the saddle.
How'd it go? I don't think it went too good.
Really? I was just|telling your wife That you were going|to be fine.
My wife? I'm still married to linda? I said wife,|not ex-Wife.
Alana,over here.
|Come here.
I've never seen this woman|before.
I think we need to be alone Go upstairs.
Talk.
No.
I don't know who you are.
Dad,alana's|your wife.
You've been married to her|for two years.
She lives here,dad.
I don't know what any of you are|talking about,but it's over.
It's over,|it's over.
How'd you find me? Guys downstairs called.
They said you've been|here four hours.
Yeah.
|Sad,isn't it? The only place|i feel normal Is hiding|in a storage closet.
I guess that's what it must|feel like to be insane-- You're not insane,tom.
You just need a rest.
Everyone keeps telling me|i was tortured.
Maybe they broke my mind.
You're going to come back|from this,tom.
It's just going|to take some time.
And i'm going to help you,|i promise.
So tell me again|about this ball of light.
When did you first come|to believe it happened? August 14th,2004.
That's when they came back.
Maybe not in the world you know,|but it happened in mine-- Get her out of here! No one's plotting against you,|tom.
I did what i had to do|to get you better.
His wife's here.
She's asking to see him.
I am not married.
|I am not married Look,lady,i don't|know who you are, And i don't care|what you have to say.
You have to|play along.
I need you to|get out of here So we can figure out|what's going on.
What are you talking about? None of this is real|to me,either.
I know we're|not married.
I've never seen you|before yesterday.
The things you talk about-- The ball of light, The 4400 You know about the 4400? Know of them? I am a 4400.
Ow my behavior|was totally out of line, And i want to apologize.
I got fixated|on getting back to work, And obviously,|the strain,the,uh The excitement,|it was just too much.
We're going to extend|your medical leave By another|six weeks, And then we will see about|getting you back out in the field.
I'll circle the date.
Okay.
So i can go now? Your psych hold is over.
Great.
I'm|i'm sorry for the ambush.
Desperate times,|desperate measures.
I'll see you|in six weeks.
Tom baldwin.
Alana mareva.
So i guess we're married.
So i'm told.
Let's go home.
See if we can figure out|what the hell is going on.
-Where do you think we are?|- I don't know.
Maybe we crossed into|some kind of Alternate reality,|a different dimension.
I know.
|It sounds insane.
It sounds impossible.
Impossible|isn't what it used to be,and You're a 4400.
You think i'm doing this? It's an explanation.
A pretty simple one,actually.
Simple,but wrong.
If i were making this up, Why would i put myself|in the middle of your life? I'm sorry.
This can't|be easy for you,either.
Yeah,easy.
My friends,my family,|everything i know is gone.
Erased.
I'm trapped|in the middle of your life.
How do i know it's not you|making this up? Erased? What do you mean,|your life has been erased? I used to own|this place.
I bought it|four years ago, A few months|before i was abducted.
And none of this|looks familiar now? I was my own buyer.
I flew all over the world And bought|mostly sculptures, Primitive art.
Excuse me.
Can i talk to the owner? He's not here today.
Any idea|when he opened this place? A long time ago.
It only gets worse.
You're sure|that's the right bench? I used to come here|every week.
Believe me,i know which bench|i dedicated To my husband and son.
So back in the world|we came from They died In a car accident Shortly before i was abducted.
There's a way back home.
We're going to find it.
If you need anything,|i'll be right down the hall.
What,you're sleeping|in the guest room? Under the circumstances,|yeah.
I don't think|that's a good idea.
We have to play along.
We're supposed to be|happily married.
We don't want your son|asking questions.
Okay,i'll,uh,find a spot|on the floor.
Are you sure you wouldn't be|more comfortable in the bathtub? I'm kidding,thomas.
It's a big bed.
I'm sure we can keep|in our own sectors.
Do you think|we're the only ones? Are there other people out there|like us, Wondering how|they got here? If there are,we'll find them.
We'll take out|classified ads In every major|city paper.
"Remember the 4400s?|Drop us a line.
" We'll check out every returnee|we can find.
Tell me|something about yourself.
What do you want to know? Favorite records? Where i went to school? How about your husband and son?|What were they like? Paul was a radiologist.
We met while he was on vacation|in tahiti.
That's where i'm from.
Linda and i thought about|going there for our honeymoon.
We picked haiti instead.
Two years later, After we were married,|we had billy.
He was so quiet and sweet.
This is unbelievable.
I think this was|the interview Where i said i wanted|to go into medicine Because nurses|are sexy.
You did not|say that.
I got into medical school! Stanford,baby! Congratulations.
The real kyle used to talk|about being a doctor all the time.
Right up|until he went into a coma.
"The real kyle" I know|that's not exactly your son, But he seems pretty real to me.
He gets happy|when he hears good news, Cranky when he gets tired, And he forgets to put|the toilet seat down.
He's a good kid.
He was raised well.
I got a response|from our ad in the post.
Philip kendrick.
He wants to meet us.
Philip kendrick? Tom baldwin.
What do you remember|about the 4400? It was the best sedan|citroen ever put out.
Hydraulics came standard|on every model-- You're talking|about a car? Yeah!|Mine's parked outside.
Where's yours? It's in the shop.
|I'll send you a picture.
Uh,tom,|i don't have your address.
Well,that was|productive.
Yeah Should we check out|the blake exhibit While we're here? Uhyeah,|why don't you Why don't you|go ahead? I'll catch up with you|in a minute.
No,it's Thomas Thomas Thomas? Thomas! It's gone.
What's gone? That door.
It was back.
And i opened it this time.
It was some kind of|operating room,i think.
I didn't see|anything like that.
You were just standing|there like a statue.
That room's the answer.
It has to be.
It's the only thing|that doesn't fit.
It's not part|of this reality.
If it even exists.
You're the only one|who can see it-- I have to get back there.
Hey,partner.
Black,two sugars.
So the guards tell me That you spent Five hours here yesterday, Three the day before that, And,one saturday,|you logged up 12.
Yeah,so i like art.
It's a nice,|functional door,tom, But i wouldn't call it|a work of art.
Now,maybe if it were made|of black obsidian I read your psych file.
You planning on having me|locked up again,diana? You know,this other reality That you're anxious|to get back to? I mean,even if you could|get back to it, It doesn't sound|that great,tom.
Back there,|you were divorced.
Here,you have|a beautiful wife.
Back there,|you son,kyle, Spent four years|in a coma.
Here,he's about to spend|four in medical school.
Back there,your sister's family|is completely dysfunctional, Your nephew is in a cult, And the future of the world|is in jeopardy.
You make it sound sobleak.
It's just a Just life.
This is life, And it's a better life for you|and for everyone you care about.
Just accept|what you have.
Because if you don't, Well,you're going to spend|the rest of your life Just sitting in this hallway.
Alana? What's the matter? Have you seen|these pictures? Look at all the things|we've done together.
You know,you'd think|if we're trapped here, They would give us|these memories.
You know? Look,we've been|to china.
I've wanted to go|my entire life to china.
Look,alana,i don't know|how long it's going to take For us to get out of here.
I don't know.
Who says we will? You keep talking|about that door.
It's been a month already.
What if|it never comes back? Then we're trapped,okay,|then we're trapped.
I don't But if we are,|alana, I promise you,|we will make new memories.
Just as good as these.
Better.
Oh,i believe we could,thomas.
I like it|when you call me that.
"Thomas.
" And this goes up,and then Ugh,i can never get|these things right.
Let me take a shot.
Come here.
Hold still.
You got to remember|to make big loops.
Leave yourself|a little room to work with.
Hands|of a surgeon.
Hands of a resident,|more like.
No,you'll get there.
So how do you like it|over at st.
Bede's? The hours are killer.
Doctors treat me like|a glorified candystriper.
A good night's sleep|is a distant memory.
I love it.
Well,i look|like i belong On top|of a wedding cake.
Hey,you brought this|on yourself.
Some people go to fiji|for their 10th anniversary.
You two wanted|to renew your vows.
Yeah,well,|the first time Just felt like|pictures in a book.
This one This one is for me and alana.
Ready to go,champ? And do you,|alana baldwin, Also renew your|commitments to honor,obey, And love|your husband,thomas, Till death|do you part? I do.
Then by the power|vested in me, I now pronounce you|still man and wife.
Go ahead.
You may kiss|your beautiful bride.
I'm getting in here.
Oh,i love you guys.
So how do you feel,|mrs.
Baldwin? Married.
Finally.
Feels real now,huh? Well,it felt real|for a long time.
It's hard to believe|we resisted it.
Do you miss it?|Your old life? I still think about it, But after|all these years, That life,that world-- That feels|like the delusion.
I know.
|I have to concentrate To even remember|a life without you.
See,i'm good that way.
Like a cellphone|or tivo.
Once you've got me, You can't imagine|not having me.
I love you,thomas.
It still kills me|when you call me that.
Come here,woman.
You're resigning? I'm moving on,tom.
I've been here|11 years.
The private sector beckons.
Dennis ryland|offered me A partnership|in his consulting firm.
Nice gig.

Look,d.
C.
Has asked me|to submit a list of names As potential replacements.
I'm giving them one.
Yours.
Well,i'm-- I'm flattered.
|I,uh But you might need|a backup or two.
I mean,|somewhere in my personnel file Are measurements|for my straitjacket.
Nah,you were|convalescing From injuries|received in the line of duty.
Your service in that case|was heroic.
I think you can talk your|way around the fallout.
That is,if you want the job.
A chance to sit|in the big chair? I want it,all right.
Good.
Then practice saying,|"nice to meet you too,senator.
" Best way to prep for|your confirmation hearing.
I'll spring|for a new suit.
My last act|as head of this division Will be to make sure|that this happens.
Congratulations,tom.
You've earned this.
Thank you.
Guess what.
Don't tell me.
You just spoke to jarvis.
You knew? She might have|mentioned something.
And you didn't|tell me? I'm transferring you|to greenland.
Oh,look,|he's not even confirmed yet, And he's mad with power.
Baldwin.
Hey,you're not|going to believe this.
They've just asked me|to join the board of directors At the collier museum.
Wow.
That'squite an honor.
Do you think i should take it? The best museum|on the west coast.
You got to take it.
There's a benefit At the seattle inner city|arts council on friday night.
They want|to introduce me around.
I didn't put my tux|back into storage.
So it,um Looks like we both got a little|surprise at the office today.
What do you mean? Are you sitting down? Just tell me,thomas.
Honey,i'll see you|at home tonight.
Glendon ritter, C.
E.
O.
|Of stradwick pharmaceuticals.
Isn't he president|of the arts council? Well,you should go|say hello.
You come with.
No,no,you|you go.
I'm all out|of small talk.
Go ahead.
Mr.
Ritter.
So happy|you could make it.
Thomas? Do you see it? No.
Why? You do? It's been gone|for eight years.
Why now? Come back downstairs with me.
That's the way out.
It It has to be.
And if it is And you walk through it What happens|to all of this? To us? I don't know.
And i don't want to find out.
I want to go to washington|next month, And i want to watch you|get promoted.
I want to see who kyle marries.
So do i But this door,it's It's back for a reason.
It's like|it wants me to walk through it.
But do you want|to walk through it? I don't want you to,either.
Come on,thomas.
Let's go home.
Kyle! No,kyle's my son! Leave me alone! He's my son! Kyle! Stop.
|Let go of me! What Congratulations.
You made it.
Where are we? I think you know.
This is where|they brought you And the rest of the 4400.
Yes,this is where|they altered us-- Gave me the ability To create the world|we've been living in For the last eight years.
So it is you.
You've been doing this|the whole time.
We've been living|in my mind, But the instructions|for your reality Came from them.
They created|a sanctuary for you, An easier,|less complicated world.
But none of it's real.
You are.
I am.
The feelings|we have for each other are As real as anything|we've ever experienced.
Is that why they did this? Kept us here for eight years? Because they wanted us|to fall in love? Moments.
That's all that's passed, But in those|few seconds, We've accumulated|years of memories That will bond us|in the real world.
I thought they were worried|about saving the world, Not playing matchmaker.
They're worried|about you.
Your life|is about to plunge into crisis.
Your mission|will be threatened.
They can't allow this to happen.
They gave you this relationship|as a source of strength, To sustain you In the trials|that lay ahead.
What crisis? What-- What is it? Why can't they just tell me|what it is? I can stop it from happening.
It's already begun But now you won't have to|face it alone.
No,if it's started,|i have to get back there.
Only your wife|can get you home.
You are my wife.
No.
I'm part of the program|they placed in her mind.
She has no idea|she's creating this.
If she did, It would interfere|with the bonding.
So,what,i'm supposed|to just fill her in And tell her what? Whether she knows it or not, She's willing this world|into existence.
She can will it|out of existence.
Yeah,and what if|she doesn't want to? You have to|convince her.
That will be the first test|of your relationship.
They've created a damn near|perfect world for me.
What if i don't want to leave? Then the future|picked the wrong man.
What about kyle? He spent nine years|becoming a doctor.
What,am i supposed|to get rid of him? Wish him away? It's not really kyle.
Don't say that! If it's not kyle, Who's moving around|downstairs in the kitchen? Kyle.
Shawn.
Danny.
None of them are real.
|They're just projections.
You've spent eight years|with these people.
They're as real to you|as they are to me.
I love my family.
I really do love them.
It's not that i want to do this.
It's that we have to do it.
But they're my family,too.
Back there,|i'm just a stranger to them.
What about you and me?|Our life? Is that a projection,too? No.
What we have,our memories, They'll carry over|into the real world.
But it won't be the same.
|It can't be.
Maybe not, But whatever we have,|it'll be real.
What are you doing? Make it go away.
What do i do?|Stare at it until it disappears? No,just believe|it's not there.
Well,thanks|for coming,everybody.
Alana and i just wanted|to tell you all that We're going to be|leaving.
We're taking|a vacation.
We'll be gone|for a while,and,uh I know it's sudden, But we just decided|this morning.
Well,|how long is a while? I mean,you just got the biggest|promotion of your career.
It'll have to wait.
We wanted to see you all|one last time before we go, And tell you How much we love you.
That's so sweet.
Careful,alana.
She's going to be crying|in a second.
It's something|we have to do.
It's a It's a trip that we've been|talking about for a long time.
Where are you going? Not far.
Well Send us a postcard At least.
To the people we love.
You have no idea|how much we will miss you.
We will miss you,too.

|Fill me in here.
Who's doherty? Does he have something|to do with collier's murder? What,governor collier? What are you talking about?|He's not dead.
This was|garrity's idea,right? Got to admit,|it's creative, But "screw with|tom baldwin day"is over.
Hey,listen,tom,|don't do this.
The doctors gave you|a clean bill of health.
Doctors?|What doctors? Where is everybody headed? And what the hell is going on|around here today? I think you should|probably just stay here.
We'll talk|when i get back.
Diana,just-- So,this guy,doherty,|is he a 4400? What's a 4400? Please,stop this.
Four thousand,four hundred|missing people The future sent them back|in a ball of light.
Any of this|sound familiar? Diana,|i'm not laughing, So whatever game|you're playing, Stop it,and stop it right now.
Tom,whatever|you've been through In the past few months, I can't even|imagine it, And everyone here is pulling|for your recovery, But you've got to|listen to yourself.
You sound delusional.
The future? I mean,i've never|heard of the 4400, And i can promise you That nobody ever came back|in a ball of light.
Tell me one thing.
According to you, What have we been doing|for the last year? You're serious.
Humor me.
It's your case,|tom.
Dirty bombs,|remember? You went undercover And infiltrated|an aum shinrikyo terror cell.
None of this means anything|to you,does it? Of course not.
|Why should it? Well,your cover|was compromised.
They held you|for three weeks.
Sleep deprivation,|torture-- They'd have killed you|if you didn't escape.
So how does doherty|fit in? Aum shinrikyo's been planning|an attack on the u.
S.
Since they've been sneaking|radioactive material Into the country|in museum pouches.
Doherty's the curator.
He's been in bed with them|all along.
Tom,he sold you out.
You spent three weeks in hell|'cause of this guy.
You've been|on medical leave For two months,|recovering,and Obviously,|it should have been three.
Jordan collier|museum of contemporary art.
Tell me you recognize|this place.
I recognize it,all right Well,that's a start.
But everything's different.
This is the spot.
This is where collier got shot.
Do me a favor.
Don't let anyone else|hear you say that.
Tom? Tom! Is he in there? Yeah,i think so.
You want to do|the honors? Did you find|anything? Somebody's been messing|with my computer.
All my case files are gone.
I type "4400"|into a search engine,and Nothing.
How could there not be|a single mention of them? I don't know.
|Maybe because None of it ever happened? Something has obviously|changed.
This is not the same world|that it was yesterday.
But i'm still tom baldwin, And you're still diana skouris, Which means that the people|they took, They exist too,right? Gary navarro.
We worked with him last month.
He could read thoughts.
Read thoughts? Tom,come on.
Played for cincinnati? Lifetime .
317 batting average.
Isn't it .
300 When you know what|the pitcher's thinking? Buthe was never taken! Richard tyler.
What did he have?|Heat vision? No,some of them|can dothings.
Some of them|some of them can't.
He's dead.
He's plane was shot down|over sinanju in 1951.
So that's two down.
Are we going to go through|all 4,398 more? I'll take my boots off|if we are.
Diana,your daughter.
|Your daughter! Your daughter,maia rutledge.
You adopted her,|right? She's one of them.
Tom,don't include me|in your fantasy life.
You know i don't have|a daughter.
Yes! Right here.
It's a seattle address|for maia rutledge.
It's right here.
Right here.
Oh,thank god.
|Maia,it's me.
It's me,tom.
|Tom baldwin.
I don't know you.
Don't say that,please.
- Don't say that.
|- My name is ella.
Maia's my grandmother.
Ella,who is it? Oh,here she is.
This is my grandmother.
You're maia rutledge? Can i help you? Didn't expect you home|so soon.
How'd you do out there|today? Glad to see you,too.
|Everything okay? Just tell me one thing.
You were in a coma|for three years,right? If i have one more of these, I could wind up in a coma|right now.
Come on.
I want to show you|something.
Come on.
Uncle tommy.
|We can eat,finally.
How you doing? Shawn,what are you doing here? Well,the band|got delayed in berlin.
We're not going to start|recording until tuesday.
Besides,i couldn't miss|your big day.
Or danny's.
|Come on,tell them.
Believe it or not,|she actually said "yes.
" We're getting married.
Look,he bought me this! Oh,i told him|i didn't even want one Till he was|out of law school.
I like that.
|You like that? Are you all right,mr.
Baldwin? Dad,do you|need to sit? It can't be a joke.
There's too many people|in on it.
Sit down.
So then either|i'm cracking up, Or the world is.
Dad,the doctors said|you were okay.
I don't want to scare you,|but something's wrong.
I don't recognize|this place.
I mean,|i sort of do, But everything's|been tweaked.
Dad,dad,|look at me.
You're not making|any sense.
You know that,|right? You guys started|without us? Just as well.
|Airport traffic was insane.
Hi,guys,nikki.
Can you believe my kid,|my youngest kid, Is getting married? When the hell|did we get so old? So you're back in the saddle.
How'd it go? I don't think it went too good.
Really? I was just|telling your wife That you were going|to be fine.
My wife? I'm still married to linda? I said wife,|not ex-Wife.
Alana,over here.
|Come here.
I've never seen this woman|before.
I think we need to be alone Go upstairs.
Talk.
No.
I don't know who you are.
Dad,alana's|your wife.
You've been married to her|for two years.
She lives here,dad.
I don't know what any of you are|talking about,but it's over.
It's over,|it's over.
How'd you find me? Guys downstairs called.
They said you've been|here four hours.
Yeah.
|Sad,isn't it? The only place|i feel normal Is hiding|in a storage closet.
I guess that's what it must|feel like to be insane-- You're not insane,tom.
You just need a rest.
Everyone keeps telling me|i was tortured.
Maybe they broke my mind.
You're going to come back|from this,tom.
It's just going|to take some time.
And i'm going to help you,|i promise.
So tell me again|about this ball of light.
When did you first come|to believe it happened? August 14th,2004.
That's when they came back.
Maybe not in the world you know,|but it happened in mine-- Get her out of here! No one's plotting against you,|tom.
I did what i had to do|to get you better.
His wife's here.
She's asking to see him.
I am not married.
|I am not married Look,lady,i don't|know who you are, And i don't care|what you have to say.
You have to|play along.
I need you to|get out of here So we can figure out|what's going on.
What are you talking about? None of this is real|to me,either.
I know we're|not married.
I've never seen you|before yesterday.
The things you talk about-- The ball of light, The 4400 You know about the 4400? Know of them? I am a 4400.
Ow my behavior|was totally out of line, And i want to apologize.
I got fixated|on getting back to work, And obviously,|the strain,the,uh The excitement,|it was just too much.
We're going to extend|your medical leave By another|six weeks, And then we will see about|getting you back out in the field.
I'll circle the date.
Okay.
So i can go now? Your psych hold is over.
Great.
I'm|i'm sorry for the ambush.
Desperate times,|desperate measures.
I'll see you|in six weeks.
Tom baldwin.
Alana mareva.
So i guess we're married.
So i'm told.
Let's go home.
See if we can figure out|what the hell is going on.
-Where do you think we are?|- I don't know.
Maybe we crossed into|some kind of Alternate reality,|a different dimension.
I know.
|It sounds insane.
It sounds impossible.
Impossible|isn't what it used to be,and You're a 4400.
You think i'm doing this? It's an explanation.
A pretty simple one,actually.
Simple,but wrong.
If i were making this up, Why would i put myself|in the middle of your life? I'm sorry.
This can't|be easy for you,either.
Yeah,easy.
My friends,my family,|everything i know is gone.
Erased.
I'm trapped|in the middle of your life.
How do i know it's not you|making this up? Erased? What do you mean,|your life has been erased? I used to own|this place.
I bought it|four years ago, A few months|before i was abducted.
And none of this|looks familiar now? I was my own buyer.
I flew all over the world And bought|mostly sculptures, Primitive art.
Excuse me.
Can i talk to the owner? He's not here today.
Any idea|when he opened this place? A long time ago.
It only gets worse.
You're sure|that's the right bench? I used to come here|every week.
Believe me,i know which bench|i dedicated To my husband and son.
So back in the world|we came from They died In a car accident Shortly before i was abducted.
There's a way back home.
We're going to find it.
If you need anything,|i'll be right down the hall.
What,you're sleeping|in the guest room? Under the circumstances,|yeah.
I don't think|that's a good idea.
We have to play along.
We're supposed to be|happily married.
We don't want your son|asking questions.
Okay,i'll,uh,find a spot|on the floor.
Are you sure you wouldn't be|more comfortable in the bathtub? I'm kidding,thomas.
It's a big bed.
I'm sure we can keep|in our own sectors.
Do you think|we're the only ones? Are there other people out there|like us, Wondering how|they got here? If there are,we'll find them.
We'll take out|classified ads In every major|city paper.
"Remember the 4400s?|Drop us a line.
" We'll check out every returnee|we can find.
Tell me|something about yourself.
What do you want to know? Favorite records? Where i went to school? How about your husband and son?|What were they like? Paul was a radiologist.
We met while he was on vacation|in tahiti.
That's where i'm from.
Linda and i thought about|going there for our honeymoon.
We picked haiti instead.
Two years later, After we were married,|we had billy.
He was so quiet and sweet.
This is unbelievable.
I think this was|the interview Where i said i wanted|to go into medicine Because nurses|are sexy.
You did not|say that.
I got into medical school! Stanford,baby! Congratulations.
The real kyle used to talk|about being a doctor all the time.
Right up|until he went into a coma.
"The real kyle" I know|that's not exactly your son, But he seems pretty real to me.
He gets happy|when he hears good news, Cranky when he gets tired, And he forgets to put|the toilet seat down.
He's a good kid.
He was raised well.
I got a response|from our ad in the post.
Philip kendrick.
He wants to meet us.
Philip kendrick? Tom baldwin.
What do you remember|about the 4400? It was the best sedan|citroen ever put out.
Hydraulics came standard|on every model-- You're talking|about a car? Yeah!|Mine's parked outside.
Where's yours? It's in the shop.
|I'll send you a picture.
Uh,tom,|i don't have your address.
Well,that was|productive.
Yeah Should we check out|the blake exhibit While we're here? Uhyeah,|why don't you Why don't you|go ahead? I'll catch up with you|in a minute.
No,it's Thomas Thomas Thomas? Thomas! It's gone.
What's gone? That door.
It was back.
And i opened it this time.
It was some kind of|operating room,i think.
I didn't see|anything like that.
You were just standing|there like a statue.
That room's the answer.
It has to be.
It's the only thing|that doesn't fit.
It's not part|of this reality.
If it even exists.
You're the only one|who can see it-- I have to get back there.
Hey,partner.
Black,two sugars.
So the guards tell me That you spent Five hours here yesterday, Three the day before that, And,one saturday,|you logged up 12.
Yeah,so i like art.
It's a nice,|functional door,tom, But i wouldn't call it|a work of art.
Now,maybe if it were made|of black obsidian I read your psych file.
You planning on having me|locked up again,diana? You know,this other reality That you're anxious|to get back to? I mean,even if you could|get back to it, It doesn't sound|that great,tom.
Back there,|you were divorced.
Here,you have|a beautiful wife.
Back there,|you son,kyle, Spent four years|in a coma.
Here,he's about to spend|four in medical school.
Back there,your sister's family|is completely dysfunctional, Your nephew is in a cult, And the future of the world|is in jeopardy.
You make it sound sobleak.
It's just a Just life.
This is life, And it's a better life for you|and for everyone you care about.
Just accept|what you have.
Because if you don't, Well,you're going to spend|the rest of your life Just sitting in this hallway.
Alana? What's the matter? Have you seen|these pictures? Look at all the things|we've done together.
You know,you'd think|if we're trapped here, They would give us|these memories.
You know? Look,we've been|to china.
I've wanted to go|my entire life to china.
Look,alana,i don't know|how long it's going to take For us to get out of here.
I don't know.
Who says we will? You keep talking|about that door.
It's been a month already.
What if|it never comes back? Then we're trapped,okay,|then we're trapped.
I don't But if we are,|alana, I promise you,|we will make new memories.
Just as good as these.
Better.
Oh,i believe we could,thomas.
I like it|when you call me that.
"Thomas.
" And this goes up,and then Ugh,i can never get|these things right.
Let me take a shot.
Come here.
Hold still.
You got to remember|to make big loops.
Leave yourself|a little room to work with.
Hands|of a surgeon.
Hands of a resident,|more like.
No,you'll get there.
So how do you like it|over at st.
Bede's? The hours are killer.
Doctors treat me like|a glorified candystriper.
A good night's sleep|is a distant memory.
I love it.
Well,i look|like i belong On top|of a wedding cake.
Hey,you brought this|on yourself.
Some people go to fiji|for their 10th anniversary.
You two wanted|to renew your vows.
Yeah,well,|the first time Just felt like|pictures in a book.
This one This one is for me and alana.
Ready to go,champ? And do you,|alana baldwin, Also renew your|commitments to honor,obey, And love|your husband,thomas, Till death|do you part? I do.
Then by the power|vested in me, I now pronounce you|still man and wife.
Go ahead.
You may kiss|your beautiful bride.
I'm getting in here.
Oh,i love you guys.
So how do you feel,|mrs.
Baldwin? Married.
Finally.
Feels real now,huh? Well,it felt real|for a long time.
It's hard to believe|we resisted it.
Do you miss it?|Your old life? I still think about it, But after|all these years, That life,that world-- That feels|like the delusion.
I know.
|I have to concentrate To even remember|a life without you.
See,i'm good that way.
Like a cellphone|or tivo.
Once you've got me, You can't imagine|not having me.
I love you,thomas.
It still kills me|when you call me that.
Come here,woman.
You're resigning? I'm moving on,tom.
I've been here|11 years.
The private sector beckons.
Dennis ryland|offered me A partnership|in his consulting firm.
Nice gig.
So you're moving to virginia? Three weeks.
Look,d.
C.
Has asked me|to submit a list of names As potential replacements.
I'm giving them one.
Yours.
Well,i'm-- I'm flattered.
|I,uh But you might need|a backup or two.
I mean,|somewhere in my personnel file Are measurements|for my straitjacket.
Nah,you were|convalescing From injuries|received in the line of duty.
Your service in that case|was heroic.
I think you can talk your|way around the fallout.
That is,if you want the job.
A chance to sit|in the big chair? I want it,all right.
Good.
Then practice saying,|"nice to meet you too,senator.
" Best way to prep for|your confirmation hearing.
I'll spring|for a new suit.
My last act|as head of this division Will be to make sure|that this happens.
Congratulations,tom.
You've earned this.
Thank you.
Guess what.
Don't tell me.
You just spoke to jarvis.
You knew? She might have|mentioned something.
And you didn't|tell me? I'm transferring you|to greenland.
Oh,look,|he's not even confirmed yet, And he's mad with power.
Baldwin.
Hey,you're not|going to believe this.
They've just asked me|to join the board of directors At the collier museum.
Wow.
That'squite an honor.
Do you think i should take it? The best museum|on the west coast.
You got to take it.
There's a benefit At the seattle inner city|arts council on friday night.
They want|to introduce me around.
I didn't put my tux|back into storage.
So it,um Looks like we both got a little|surprise at the office today.
What do you mean? Are you sitting down? Just tell me,thomas.
Honey,i'll see you|at home tonight.
Glendon ritter, C.
E.
O.
|Of stradwick pharmaceuticals.
Isn't he president|of the arts council? Well,you should go|say hello.
You come with.
No,no,you|you go.
I'm all out|of small talk.
Go ahead.
Mr.
Ritter.
So happy|you could make it.
Thomas? Do you see it? No.
Why? You do? It's been gone|for eight years.
Why now? Come back downstairs with me.
That's the way out.
It It has to be.
And if it is And you walk through it What happens|to all of this? To us? I don't know.
And i don't want to find out.
I want to go to washington|next month, And i want to watch you|get promoted.
I want to see who kyle marries.
So do i But this door,it's It's back for a reason.
It's like|it wants me to walk through it.
But do you want|to walk through it? I don't want you to,either.
Come on,thomas.
Let's go home.
Kyle! No,kyle's my son! Leave me alone! He's my son! Kyle! Stop.
|Let go of me! What Congratulations.
You made it.
Where are we? I think you know.
This is where|they brought you And the rest of the 4400.
Yes,this is where|they altered us-- Gave me the ability To create the world|we've been living in For the last eight years.
So it is you.
You've been doing this|the whole time.
We've been living|in my mind, But the instructions|for your reality Came from them.
They created|a sanctuary for you, An easier,|less complicated world.
But none of it's real.
You are.
I am.
The feelings|we have for each other are As real as anything|we've ever experienced.
Is that why they did this? Kept us here for eight years? Because they wanted us|to fall in love? Moments.
That's all that's passed, But in those|few seconds, We've accumulated|years of memories That will bond us|in the real world.
I thought they were worried|about saving the world, Not playing matchmaker.
They're worried|about you.
Your life|is about to plunge into crisis.
Your mission|will be threatened.
They can't allow this to happen.
They gave you this relationship|as a source of strength, To sustain you In the trials|that lay ahead.
What crisis? What-- What is it? Why can't they just tell me|what it is? I can stop it from happening.
It's already begun But now you won't have to|face it alone.
No,if it's started,|i have to get back there.
Only your wife|can get you home.
You are my wife.
No.
I'm part of the program|they placed in her mind.
She has no idea|she's creating this.
If she did, It would interfere|with the bonding.
So,what,i'm supposed|to just fill her in And tell her what? Whether she knows it or not, She's willing this world|into existence.
She can will it|out of existence.
Yeah,and what if|she doesn't want to? You have to|convince her.
That will be the first test|of your relationship.
They've created a damn near|perfect world for me.
What if i don't want to leave? Then the future|picked the wrong man.
What about kyle? He spent nine years|becoming a doctor.
What,am i supposed|to get rid of him? Wish him away? It's not really kyle.
Don't say that! If it's not kyle, Who's moving around|downstairs in the kitchen? Kyle.
Shawn.
Danny.
None of them are real.
|They're just projections.
You've spent eight years|with these people.
They're as real to you|as they are to me.
I love my family.
I really do love them.
It's not that i want to do this.
It's that we have to do it.
But they're my family,too.
Back there,|i'm just a stranger to them.
What about you and me?|Our life? Is that a projection,too? No.
What we have,our memories, They'll carry over|into the real world.
But it won't be the same.
|It can't be.
Maybe not, But whatever we have,|it'll be real.
What are you doing? Make it go away.
What do i do?|Stare at it until it disappears? No,just believe|it's not there.
Well,thanks|for coming,everybody.
Alana and i just wanted|to tell you all that We're going to be|leaving.
We're taking|a vacation.
We'll be gone|for a while,and,uh I know it's sudden, But we just decided|this morning.
Well,|how long is a while? I mean,you just got the biggest|promotion of your career.
It'll have to wait.
We wanted to see you all|one last time before we go, And tell you How much we love you.
That's so sweet.
Careful,alana.
She's going to be crying|in a second.
It's something|we have to do.
It's a It's a trip that we've been|talking about for a long time.
Where are you going? Not far.
Well Send us a postcard At least.
To the people we love.
You have no idea|how much we will miss you.
We will miss you,too.
Don't look back.
Tom? Tom? Are you with me,tom? Can you email me|the mareva file? Alana mareva? Yeah,a.
