The 4400, Season 3

Dennis Ryland:
I'm not at all surprised that girl died. That's exactly why we need to get the stuff out of Colliers hands.

Tom:
We need to know about your promicin supply, Dennis. Your people have been working with it for months. Have you ever seen anything like this?

Dennis Ryland:
We've had some casualties among the volunteers.

Tom:
Casualties?[pauses and looks around in disbelief] How many?

Dennis Ryland:
We recruited 20 men for the program. Half of them rejected the promicin within 48 hours of their first shot.

Diana:
Rejected? You mean died.

Dennis Ryland:
We knew there'd be risks, Diana. We explained it to the volunteers before the signed on.

Diana:
Oh my God. You knew. You knew what would happen when people took this? Why didn't you tell us when it was stolen? We could have warned Collier, warned the public.

Dennis Ryland:
Beacuse gods don't make mistakes. What better way to show the people that Collier is not some sort of messiah, than have him fall flat on his face in public?

Tom:
You kept quiet so you could discredit Collier? A woman is dead, Dennis! And you're just as responsible as he is!

Dennis Ryland:
She shouldn't have been injecting stolen promicin. And anybody who follows her lead will have to live with the consequences. Or not.
