The 4400, Season 4

Jordan:
I did not give promicin out to the world to have it unite under a... a 16-year old boy. He has to be stopped.

Kevin:
Oh! I see. You're having messiah-envy.

Guy:
Are you here to give yourselves body and soul to Graham?

Tom:
Not exactly.

Isabelle:
You want to have hope don't you? You want to believe she's coming back?

Tom:
Of course.

Isabelle:
Then you don't want to know what I know.

Meghan:
I can give you a few minutes, Mr. Powell, but then I'm afraid you're going to have to come with us.

Mr. Powell:
My son has been in a prison his entire life. I'm happy to trade places with him.

Meghan:
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever seen La Dolce Vita?

Diana:
Dubbed or subtitled?

Meghan:
Do I look like I watch dubbed movies?

Diana:
Do I?

Meghan:
Welcome back, Agent Skouris.

'Diana:
I'm being reinstated because I like foreign films?

Meghan:
Of course not, but it doesn't hurt your cause.

Troy:
I took the shot to make my life better.

Tom:
Better, better? Better how, huh? By driving a bunch of people crazy? They're at Abendson Psychiatric Hospital writhing around in straitjackets.

Troy:
It wasn't me, I swear. My ability's harmless. I-I play music. I pick up any instrument, and I'm like a virtuoso.

Garrity:
Really? Well I'll go home and get my clarinet!

Meghan:
That's exactly why this journal is making people in D.C. nervous. The author doesn't sound like a radical. She sounds like... somebody's aunt.

Tom:
Yeah, and if your aunt's willing to take a chance on getting an ability, why shouldn't you?

Tom:
The head of NTAC, benefiting personally from a 4400 ability? You sure you're up for the fallout?

Meghan:
They let this place stay open. They blinked. Let them fire me.

Audrey:
The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

Diana:
It's Benjamin Franklin.

Audrey:
Well, at least you are an educated tyrant.

April:
I'm coming with you. You want the truth? I can get it for you.

Tom:
Are you sure about that, I mean people beat lie detectors all the time.

April:
Tom, do you like my sister?

Tom:
Diana, yeah, sure, she's my partner, my friend.

April:
Ever had a sexual fantasy about her?

Tom:
Well, once or twice. We were working late, Diana mentioned we were the only two people in the building and--

Diana:
Oh! (Diana smiles and walks out the door)

Tom:
(quietly to April) You can come.

Kyle:
Who knows, man? You could become mayor, maybe even governor.

Shawn:
Just one step at a time. I don't even know if I can get elected to city council.

Kyle:
You heal people with your hands. Show me an opponent who can beat that.

April:
So, what do you do, Peter?

Peter:
I'm V.P. of client relations for ANEXXO. We're in the fortune 500. Energy, communications, some defense work.

April:
I get it. You're one of the guys that runs the world.

Peter:
Well, I work for those guys.

Diana:
Yeah, but we're talking about prison camps. Maia hasn't broken any laws. She is a 4400. She didn't take promicin.

P.J.:
I'm afraid that distinction doesn't mean much these days. People are scared. A lot of them wanna 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 far-fetched.

Gabriel:
What are you doing here?

Shawn:
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.

Gabriel:
What if you did see evil? Then what?

Shawn:
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 may not know it yet, you wouldn't make a very good leader. I'm not gonna let you become one.

Jordan:
It must have been difficult to take the promicin shot. But I've read your book. It's wrong. I'm no Messiah.

Kyle:
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 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.

Tom:
I keep telling myself it's just a game. But you know what? I still don't feel like dying.

Jordan:
It's not an experience I'm looking to revisit.

Tom:
You're going to hotwire the door open?

Meghan:
Don't look so surprised. I worked in a think tank for years. You'd be amazed at the kinds of things I picked up around the water cooler.

Tom:
(looking away) I'm sorry.

Meghan:
Tom, the second time we did it with the lights on, it's not like anything you haven't seen.

Garrity:
No doubt about it. The man is a genuine badass.

Meghan:
Well, maybe when we catch him, you can ask for his autograph.

Shawn:
What's your alternative? Do you really want the entire world to take promicin?

Jordan:
Yes. Yes, I do. It's what I've always said has to happen.

Shawn:
Half of the planet will die! You're talking about mass suicide!

Jordan:
I am talking about a single generation of sacrifice. And at the end of it, a more fully-evolved species. All of our failings as human beings will be addressed when we are all gifted. I am not making any announcement. And no one who cares about what's right for the world would.

Cora:
These abilities we have, they are a gift from God, and we need to treat them with respect.

Meghan:
This last few weeks I could tell there was something wrong. He was the same guy but different, you know? I keep telling myself it's okay, it's still Tom.

Diana:
Well, I didn't wanna believe it either. He has been my partner, my friend for years.

Meghan:
Talk about sleeping with the enemy.

Isabelle:
You know, Kyle used to talk about you all the time. He said you were a decent man, but then you're not Tom Baldwin, are you?

Isabelle:
The government doctors already told me that promicin will kill me.

Tom:
We can change that, Isabelle, I guarantee you'll live.

Diana:
Hello, Curtis.

Meghan:
Sit down. We have some questions for you.

Curtis:
About what?

Meghan:
About what camera lens you're using today. What do you think, Curtis? We wanna talk about the Marked. Curtis: I already told you guys. I made all that up. The Marked aren't real. I have to work. If you want to watch me direct, I can get you some headphones.

Diana:
(pulling her gun and pointing it at Curtis) You're not going back to work anytime soon. Now all we need you to do is tell us how to kill one of those things.

Tom:
(on the phone, after sedating Maia) It's done. I gave the girl a massive dose of the inhibitor. She won't be having any visions for a couple of weeks.

Maia:
That was kind of weird, huh? How we just saw each other on the street?

Tom:
Well, to be honest Maia, it wasn't a coincidence. I wanted to talk to you about your mom.

Maia:
See? I told you he was a good guy.

Diana:
Maia, can't you see what's happening? Jordan Collier is naming himself dictator of Seattle; there's nothing good about that.

Maia:
You're wrong mom. We are in charge now. It's better that way.

Jordan:
The sacrifices of the past few days have not been in vain. This tragedy, terrible as it may have been, had meaning. And those who died... are the heralds of a new age!

Diana:
Assuming the woman is telling the truth about what she can do, I mean, okay, it might be irresponsible that she's writing about it, but it's not a threat. Isn't that what we do here, we track down threats? We're not the thought police.

Tom:
Taking promicin is illegal. Not to mention, potentially fatal. If that blog inspires 20 people to take promicin, 10 of them are going to die.

Meghan:
Don't forget about the ones who survive. Do you really think they'll all be lovely people too? Do you think their abilities will be as benign as hers? This woman has to be stopped and we can find out exactly what her intentions were, just as soon as you find her. Bring her in.

Diana:
I'll go put on the riot gear. Tom, get the tear gas.

Tom:
(quietly to April) You can come.
