The 4400 s04e05 Episode Script

The world will have to deal with us.
previously on the 4400 you're the alternative we need To Collier and his promicin-pushing radicals.
Does that mean you'll run for city council? It means I'm going to run and I'm going to win.
promicin is out there.
people are gaining abilities, and nothing can be done about that.
who's Cassie? I'm not what you'd call real.
I'm Kyle's ability.
Everything in that book is going to come true.
Collier will lead the human race to salvation.
You will help him.
Isabelle Tyler I've done bad things, and I'm supposed to do more.
I was sent to help you get away.
This is all happening for a reason.
Do you believe that Jordan Collier is a messiah, And that promicin's going to save the world? Kyle, listen to me, if you're involved in something The lab report you asked for, The samples came back positive for promicin.
Hey, Kyle! Kyle? Hey, dad, what's up? where are you, Kyle? Is something wrong? I need to talk to you, buddy.
It's important, but we have to do it in person.
Can you come home now? Sure, yeah.
I can be home in, like, You can't go back there, Kyle.
He knows.
Knows what? What do you think? Your father knows you took the promicin shot.
What's he going to do? Is he going to tell NTAC? If I can't go home, what am I supposed to do? Where do I live? You can move on now.
Move where? You're heading north.
Take highway 99 until it crosses with Rural Route 57.
Follow that, and you'll find an old logging pass.
When it ends, get out and start walking due west.
What am I looking for? Go there.
Enjoy the surprise.
Hey I heard talking.
Is everything okay? Uh You have to get ready, okay? We're leaving.
Don't let them take me! Maia Oh, sweetie.
It's okay.
Sweetheart, it's okay.
Nobody's taking you anywhere.
You just had a nightmare.
It's like a prison.
All the people with abilities are there.
They make us line up, Then they take us away, someplace bad.
What kind of place? You've had this dream before.
That was the second time.
I thought it was going to go away, but it didn't.
It's okay, sweetie.
Come here.
It's okay, baby.
What are we even supposed to be looking for? We're in the middle of nowhere.
Cassie said to come here.
That means there's something here.
That cell tower services the entire area.
And you're positive That's the final signal from my son's phone? All right.
All right, thanks.
God, just for once I'd like to beat you in here.
Diana Listen, I have to leave for a while.
Kyle's in trouble.
Is he? what's wrong? I can't get into it, but I have to find him, And I need you to cover for me.
Look, I just got off the phone with Kyle's wireless carrier.
The last signal from his cell phone Came from about four hours away, so it could be a while.
maybe even a day or two.
Well, tell me what's wrong.
I'd like to help.
The best help you could give me is to cover my back.
Tell anyone who asks that I'm in the field on one of our cases, all right? Okay.
I'll call you when I find him.
Tom? Good luck.
Thanks.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You trapped me.
You led me right to him.
How did you find this place? I took the shot.
I've been having these visions.
they led me to you.
They told me I have to bring you something.
Hey, it's just a book, man.
All right, it's important.
It's about you.
You have to read it.
There was this religious movement about 90 years ago.
White Light, they called it a cult.
This book was their prophecy.
It's all about promicin, the movement.
It's the reason I'm supposed to find you.
And her? Were you supposed to lead Isabelle Tyler to me as well? I was guided to her the same way I was guided to you.
She's going to help us with the movement, Jordan.
I'm not a threat to you.
I don't have my abilities anymore.
What could you possibly do for me? I don't know.
That's you.
I'm telling you, it's all about you.
Bring them.
mr.
Farrell has been handed this remarkable ability, but he himself is simply not that distinguished of a young man.
now, even if he was the second coming of Robert Kennedy, I would still say that a 4400 has no business running for public office.
Today's clippings.
Do I want to read today's clippings? Everyone respects your healing work, But they're calling you out on your age, Your inexperience, Your lack of education, Your connections with Jordan Collier-- I get it, I get it.
It's just, Do I really have to study my own shortcomings? That's what I want to know.
Your campaign manager thinks you do.
She got you a meeting with Gabriel Hewitt later today, And you're going to have to be able to refute his talking points.
one by one.
I have to have a sit-down with the man That's been badmouthing me To anybody that will put a camera in his face? I think the idea is to win him over.
Tell him about the foundation.
Convince him you are not some pawn of Jordan Collier.
I admire you, Kyle.
Given your background, It must have been difficult to take the promicin shot.
But I've read your book.
It's wrong.
I'm no Messiah.
I know how it sounds.
It was hard for me to believe, too.
I'm nobody's religious nut, But these visions I have are never wrong, Not once, And if they say that book is important, I have to believe it.
I have to believe what's in there.
Promicin isn't just here To improve the world, Jordan.
It's here to bring Heaven to earth.
I don't know exactly what that means, but you're supposed to make it happen, and I'm supposed to help you.
It's like it says in the book.
You are going to lead us all to God.
Untie him.
We'll continue this somewhere more comfortable.
What about me? I'll deal with you soon enough.
Goodness me, a customer I don't recognize.
Will wonders ever cease? I guess you don't get many visitors here.
This town isn't even on my map.
That highway two Went in A few years back.
Since then, we've been a little short on visitors, but it's a treat to have one as handsome as you.
Kathy, would you stop flirting with the poor man, see if he wants some lunch? I'm good.
Thanks.
You don't come all this way To skip my famous apple pie.
Tell the man, will you, Shannon? Kathy makes a mean apple pie.
It's the house specialty.
I'm sure she does.
Look, I wish I had time.
Actually, I was hoping to find the sheriff.
There was a note on the door.
He should just move his office in here.
Thanks.
My son's driving a green Saturn.
Well, there's not much reason to come out here, but if I do see it, I'll definitely give you a call.
Now, if your boy did pass through here, I'm sure he's moved on by now.
But you're welcome to have a wander, ask around.
I appreciate that, sheriff, thanks.
Not a problem.
Is there anything we can get you For the road? You should try the pie, mister.
It's really good.
I'll pass, but thanks.
You sure? Yeah.
Bye.
Bye.
So I guess the question is Are we just talking about a kid's recurring nightmare, or is it something worse? Well, obviously, I'm pulling for nightmares.
Maia's visions don't usually happen while she's sleeping, and she wasn't seeing this while we were in spain.
I mean, the headlines aren't exactly reassuring And they're a lot more immediate When your mom brings you back to the front lines.
Maybe so, but we can't really rule out visions either, can we? Yeah, but we're talking about prison camps.
Maia hasn't broken any laws.
She is a 4400.
She didn't take promicin.
I'm afraid that distinction doesn't mean much these days.
People are scared.
A lot of them want to lock up every p-positive out there.
The wrong leader comes to power, someone who exploits all that fear Everybody's feeling, and suddenly this doesn't seem so farfetched.
There's a more productive way To look at this.
I mean, if they are visions, at least we've got some warning.
You know, if we had more specifics, Maybe we can make sure they don't come true.
I'm trying to stop my daughter from having these nightmares, Not encourage her To have more specific ones So that you can analyze them.
Thanks for your help, though.
Excuse me? Sorry, I didn't see you there.
Can I get you something? Yeah, look, I'm on my way out of town.
Any chance I can fill up? Your pumps don't seem to be working.
I haven't had a gas truck around in a while, But I think I got a spare gas can in the back.
Just give me a sec? Yeah.
What are you doing, mister? That's my son's car.
where is he? Calm down, I don't know what you're talking about.
Where's Kyle? I don't know what you're talking about, man! Now, you hold it right there.
Take your hands off that man right now.
Sheriff, this man has my son's car.
Tell him.
Tell him! I don't know what you're talking about! He's been messing with this vehicle For months.
You said yourself your boy just drove through here today.
That's my son's car, I know it is.
Now, look, I am sorry for your troubles, mister, but you're wrong, and I don't think we can help you here, so maybe it's time you just moved on, huh? Starter's on the fritz.
Give me a hand here? You shouldn't have seen that, Mister.
Who are you people? What is this place? You say you deciphered this? Isabelle did.
It's a list of names, But it's people who are alive today.
Politicians, religious leaders, scientists.
The book says That once these people all take promicin, Everyone will.
It's like a domino effect.
And that's when God comes? I know it sounds crazy, but only if you take the book literally.
I mean, "God" could mean Any number of things.
If these people saw a world Healed by promicin, they could have interpreted that as heaven.
I don't know.
I mean, the only way we'll know Is if we just follow the book and see what happens, right? We've allowed the government to characterize the movement As a revolution.
Revolutions divide, destabilize, spread fear.
Religions Religions unite.
Apparently there's an NTAC agent in town Looking for his son.
My dad knows I took the shot.
He must have tracked me here.
He would have come on his own.
He's just looking to protect me, that's it.
Jordan, be careful with him, okay? He's my father, and he's the last name on the list.
The book says your father has to take the shot? Yeah.
Interesting.
So, the application For the healing foundation is blind.
Helps to avoid favoritism, And we average About a dozen treatments a day now.
Well, the work you do here is Remarkable.
But then I already knew that.
Well, does that mean you're going to stop slinging mud at me? Quite the contrary.
I intend on attacking you Right up until the day of the election.
You seem to be taking this As if it's a referendum on your character.
I assure you that it isn't.
Personally, I think you're an exceptional young man, but there are a lot of people out there That are afraid of what you represent, so going after you, well, that's just good politics.
So you don't think I'm a threat, but you're going to say that I am anyway? You, um You look so shocked.
Look, I have my eye On something greater than just city council.
When you declared for the race, you brought the national media spotlight with you, and if I didn't take advantage of that, well I wouldn't be much of a politician, now, would I? Don't make a sound.
Now open the door.
Open it up.
Whatever you can do, Whatever your ability is, don't try to use it.
I can't hurt anybody.
Please, put the gun down now.
What is this place? What did you people do to this town? It was an old timber mill town.
It was abandoned years ago, So we came and made it our own.
Who's we? All of us.
Everyone who lives here has taken the shot.
We just wanted a place Where we could live peacefully Without fear of being arrested.
That won't work here.
We have someone who can disrupt electrical signals.
What did you do to my son? Nothing.
He came to us.
He's safe.
He's being taken care of.
Then take me to him.
Now.
No, I wouldn't say that my meeting with mr.
Farrell did anything to convince me that a 4400 should hold public office.
Maia, what are you doing up? I'm not tired.
Is that true, or are you just worried About what you might dream? Sweetie, it's okay to be scared.
You know, you're upset, and we've been through a lot of changes.
Why are we back here? Why do I have to find a new school? And why is Ben gone? Well, sweetie-- And why do you always call me sweetie When I get upset? I'm not a little kid anymore.
No, okay, Maia, you're right.
You're not a little kid, And I understand if you're mad at me.
I mean, we've moved around a lot, but this city, as scary as it can be, is the one place Where your mom can do the most good, and that's important.
I tried to pretend that it wasn't, and I hope you'll appreciate that one day.
But, sweetie Maia, you can't stay up forever.
It'll only make you feel worse.
Do you think I could have that can? Kyle Kyle? Here.
Hey, Kyle, you all right? I'm fine, thanks, but I'm not Kyle.
Collier, get down on the ground! Hello, Tom.
That bacon smells good, huh? Okay, so to make scrambled eggs Do you want to crack the egg? Oh, I hope we didn't wake you.
We figured you would want to sleep After last night.
How do you like your eggs? Morning, Tom.
What did you do to me? Well, we've taken steps to ensure That you behave yourself while you're our guest.
That bracelet you're wearing, our town mechanic created that.
Dalton.
I believe you met him.
It's quite a device.
It allows us to track you wherever you go.
And that That pain in your head, He did that.
He's capable of worse.
So, if you become violent while you're here, or make any attempt to leave Evanston-- Where's Kyle? Kyle is fine.
We've been talking.
He's a very brave young man.
Where is he? I want to see him.
Not yet.
Kyle and I agree, you're not ready.
You don't understand What we're trying to accomplish here.
All right, then tell me, what is this place? It's a model for a better world.
I gathered these people.
They all took the shot And left their old lives behind.
They've created something better here in Evanston.
Have a walk around.
See for yourself.
Maia's dreaming about Gabriel Hewitt? In her nightmares, he's some kind of leader.
President, vice president, cabinet member, I don't know, but he seems to be overseeing Some extremely repressive measures against the 4400.
Look, nobody respects your daughter's ability More than I do, and I'm sorry that she's seeing these things, but Hewitt, he's on the Seattle city council.
That's a long way away From pulling these kinds of strings.
No, please understand, I think you've taken a very brave step By declaring for public office.
I mean, it's exactly the kind of gesture This country needs, but, I mean, you have to consider That you may inadvertently be giving a platform To a very dangerous man.
What are you asking me to do? Drop out? Because that's not going to happen.
I'm not asking you to do anything.
I just want you to have the facts.
But these aren't facts, they're dreams.
Shawn Even if they are visions, I stop them from happening by staying in the race, By taking a stand against hatred And proving Hewitt wrong.
I hope that's what happens, But right now That's not what Maia's seeing.
We're not the enemy, you know.
We just think people deserve a choice.
I was in a Bad place When I took the shot.
Most of us were.
But now I can do something wonderful, Something no one else can.
What is it? Your ability? I guess you could call me An anxiety extractor? I talk to people.
Actually, they do most of the talking, but when we're done, they feel better.
All their worry's just gone.
What's that, like a souped-up shrink? I don't have any advice, believe me, but It works.
I talked to just about everybody in town.
Would you want to try it? I don't think so.
Think of it as a good faith gesture.
You'd be one step closer To seeing your son.
Plus, no offense But I think you could use it.
Kyle says you're essential to what I'm doing.
He's a very forgiving young man.
He wasn't there when you killed 4400's.
Why shouldn't I be rid of you forever? I don't know.
I'm not in that book, but when I first got older, I was told, I existed to stop the 4400, and that's what I tried to do.
You beat me.
I thought I'd spend The rest of my life in prison, Thinking about what I'd done, And then Kyle found me.
He told me I have a purpose.
He told me I could still be good.
You have no idea How much I want that to be true.
So if helping you is the way To make my life mean something, I want to try.
If I accept what Kyle says about our movement, I have to accept what he says About you, But the first moment you make me nervous, Your invitation is rescinded, And you can guess what that means.
Cut her down.
Every move I make, It seems like there's some Kind of loss that comes with it, And the woman I love is gone, I'm losing my son to Collier, and I Are you done? How do you feel? Wow, I actually feel better.
It's not permanent.
We would need to have follow-up talks.
It What is this? Whenever I talk to someone, At the end, there's one of these.
I think it represents All of the bad stuff inside of you.
The fear, anxiety You should keep it.
A little reminder of what we do here.
Kathy, you weren't lying.
This pie is delicious.
Yeah, the pie's pretty good, but the aftertaste is a killer.
Aftertaste? What aftertaste? You'll see.
He's getting scared.
Shannon, tell him it's okay.
It's all right, Tom.
Just relax.
The pie had a little something in it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you mean something? What something? What something? It's a special ingredient, courtesy of one of our residents.
After we take it, we share one mind.
We can see each other's memories.
It's how we know each other better.
It's amazing, if you just relax.
This was Billy's last birthday, before his parents were killed in a plane crash.
That's Paul and Kathy.
They were so cute when they were young.
He popped the question after three weeks.
He said he just knew.
They can't see us? We're not even really here.
It's just a memory.
I've never seen this before.
This is me.
Oh, my God, that's me.
We won the league championship That year.
My father actually came to the game.
Hey I, uh I don't know what to say.
Another satisfied customer.
That was amazing.
You know, I feel like I know you all now.
It's pretty intense, isn't it? I'm just glad you finally accepted the invitation.
Yeah, me too.
Hey dad I'm glad you got to spend some time in this place.
These people, they're not evil.
They're just looking to make a better life for themselves, And they did.
How could you take the shot? How could you risk your life like that? It was worth it, dad.
It brought me here.
In a weird way, it brought us together.
I know our relationship Has always been complicated, But this place is simple.
It's good, dad.
And the life they're living here, dad, that could be our life.
We could live here, you and me.
Isn't that what you want? For us to be together? Of course.
More than anything.
If you want to stay here, if you want to live here with me You have to take the shot.
Kyle, you know I can't do that.
Are you afraid of dying, dad? Because I promise you, if you take the shot, you will live.
How could you know that? Everybody here has an ability.
So do I.
I can't talk to you about it right now, but I know that you'll be okay.
I know that's a lot to take in right now.
You don't have to give me an answer right away.
Just sleep on it.
I know I haven't said this to you in a long time, but I love you.
Do you think he'll do it? Part of him wants to.
I could see it in his eyes.
He knows this place is good, But his whole life has just been about duty.
The FBI, NTAC.
I'm not sure he'll be able to just turn his back On all that.
And if he says no? His name's in the book, right? That's pretty much a guarantee That he can survive the shot.
Can we just make him take it? I've never forced anyone to take promicin.
The movement's always been about choice.
But your relationship with your father, It's intricate So if you think it best to give him the shot, I'll respect your decision.
So if I stay in the race, I'm creating a monster.
You don't know that for sure.
Remember, we're talking about dreams.
No, these aren't just dreams.
This girl predicted that Jordan would be shot.
She can tell the future, And Hewitt said it himself When he was here.
He's using me To get attention for his career.
I can't just sit on this.
I have to do something.
If Jordan found out that some guy Was rising to power on his back, and he could become some kind of Home-grown Hitler, He wouldn't just sit around wringing his hands.
He'd act.
Good morning, Tom.
You're donating promicin? Every week.
We all do.
I hate needles, but Jordan's given us all so much.
We figure the least we can do Is give something back.
I rigged up this machine here.
You want to see how it works? No.
I'm glad I saw this place.
I know how much it means to you, And for the first time, I feel like maybe I understand What Collier's trying to do.
Yeah.
But I can't be a part of it.
You're just holding onto this idea of yourself As our opponent, our enemy.
You can just let go of that.
It'd be so easy.
It's not about that, Kyle.
This town, it's like a little Utopia, But it exists to send promicin out into the streets, And no matter how you look at it, Half the people who take that shot Are going to die, And I can't live with that.
You have to.
We all have to, dad.
Forget 50-50, okay? If the movement doesn't succeed, nobody has any chance.
I don't believe that.
I can't.
I get it.
You have to follow what you believe, And so do I.
No, wait, Kyle.
You are the only thing that could tempt me to do this.
I love you.
Get out of my way.
I'm leaving.
I'm sorry you've declined our invitation, Tom.
I'm sorry your lack of faith Will cost you your son.
I'm walking away.
You go ahead and give me a stroke If you have to, But I'm walking out of this town.
You know I can't let you do that.
No.
No No! I told you.
I'm not taking the shot! No! Kyle! No No! No! No! Ah! No! No! No! No Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! It's not just about the politics, is it? What the hell are you doing here? Everything that you said to me in my office that day Was a lie.
This is private property.
You know that I could have you arrested For trespassing.
The truth is you hate us all.
You hate all the 4400.
So what if I do? I mean, what difference does it make? Now, I'll ask you again, Why are you hanging around outside my garage? What are you doing here? I wanted to see you without the cameras When you put your public face up for the night, have a look at your eyes.
I have reason to believe That you're capable of terrible things, And that you have an evil living inside of you.
What if you did see evil? Then what? Honestly, I don't know what I would do, But the truth is, I can't see anything.
You may be full of fear and hatred, But you're just a man.
For now.
Listen, you might not know it yet.
You wouldn't make a very good leader.
I'm not going to let you become one.
But your promicin test came back negative.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry about Kyle, Tom.
We need to call Meghan, issue a new APB.
Jordan Collier, his followers and my son.
I couldn't force him to take it, Jordan.
I'm sorry.
Well, I left the choice up to you.
Anyway, the sedative we gave him Gave us enough time to get out of Evanston.
But he's gone.
I lost my dad.
We lost my dad.
His name is in the book.
If he doesn't take the shot, we don't succeed.
Then you need to have faith he will.
But it won't happen because we forced it on him.
One day, Kyle, I believe your father will come to us.
We lost Evanston because of me.
I cost us paradise.
It's all right.
Evanston was never meant as a permanent settlement.
It was only a A dress rehearsal for paradise.
So what do we do now? You've got all these people here.
What are you going to do with them?
