The 4400 (2004–2007): Season 3, Episode 3 - Gone: Part 1 - full transcript

We're not a threat.
We're salvation.

The world will have
to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400:

Lily, are you all right?

- Where's my wife?
- What are you talking about?

Mr. Tyler, when your wife fainted
this morning, she was a young woman.

When she woke up less
than a minute later,

she was 50 years older?

Are you my mother?

Richard, I'm dying.

I understand there was an
incident this morning.



You attempted to harm yourself.

You had no right to do that!

Don't you understand who you are?
What you're here to do?

I'm injecting myself with a modified
version of the promicin serum.

I will have taught my body
how to produce promicin.

And then I will be the first
non-returnee to develop 4400 abilities.

That was T.J. Kim running
from the courthouse.

When she hit, T.J. drove every man in
the building into a homicidal rage.

Ever since we took them
off the inhibitor,

they're either
developing new abilities

or they're refining the
ones that they've got.

So they are getting
more dangerous.

You saved my life. I owe you.

You sold us out.



I don't guess we'll be seeing
her in court anytime soon.

This is a message
from the Nova Group.

We are the defensive
wing of the 4400.

Today, the world has
seen what happens

to those who try to harm us.

A new era dawns.

Hi.

I'll need your auxiliary
rounds as well, Agent Baldwin.

Oh, yeah.

Of course. I forgot again.

- Thanks. You can go in.
- Great.

Hi, T.J.

What do you want?

Dr. Burkhoff?

I have your prescriptions.

Hello?

Say something if you're here.

No, don't.

Please.

I've been having migraines.

How severe?

Bad enough.

Don't worry. They're
just headaches.

I've been getting
them for years.

Seven forty-five.

You're just in time
for my wake-up call.

These promicin shots, how
many a day are you up to now?

Six.

You've doubled your dosage?

I thought you weren't gonna do
that without talking to me.

We're talking now.

Look, I'm training my body to
produce a new neurotransmitter.

And I guarantee you, I'm
not the only one trying.

The moment the first 4400
manifested an ability,

an arms race began.

Someone is going to
produce a promicin serum

that will cause non-4400s to
develop extraordinary abilities.

It will happen.

And the only questions are:

Who's going to do it? And
who's going to control it?

Hopefully, someone with a highly
developed sense of responsibility.

And some judgment.

Let me ask you,

do you meet many people like
that in your day-to-day affairs?

Do a lot of them hold
high-ranking government posts

or sit on the board of giant
pharmaceutical companies?

Dr. Burkhoff, I knew that you
had some personality quirks,

but I never pegged
you for a cynic.

I can't afford to have a
charitable view of human nature.

There's too much at stake here.

If these experiments
cost me some headaches,

some sores,

I'd say that's a
price worth paying.

Wouldn't you?

I'm here, right?

Holy mother!

Why are we doing this?

Everything I'm telling
you, it's all in my file.

You know it already.

Relax, T.J.

I just think it's
important we review

everything you told the
government so far.

- Have we?
- Yes.

I keep telling you, yes.
That's everything I know.

Okay.

Thanks for your cooperation.

We're just trying to
consolidate information.

You'd be amazed how hard that
can be in a bureaucracy.

Yeah, well, I hope you don't expect
me to say, "You're welcome."

What are you doing?

What, this?

It's nothing. I'm just
wrapping up the interview.

Get geared up. We're
leaving in two minutes.

What for? What's going on?

Your partner registered to see T.J.
Kim this morning.

When Tom left the interview room, T.J.
was dead.

- What?
- Two gunshot wounds to the head.

Apparently, Tom snuck a small firearm
into the interrogation room.

By the time the guard went
in and found T.J.'s body,

Tom had already
left the building.

- I'm going to pick him up now.
- Oh, wait, wait.

This is Tom we're talking about, here.
There's gotta be some explanation.

Now, maybe T.J. used
her ability on him.

No, she had concentrated promicin
inhibitor pumping through her veins.

We tried to contact Tom, but
he hasn't been picking up.

We need to get him in and
figure out what happened.

Okay, well, just let me talk to him first.
He trusts me.

Look, this is Tom.

Come on, we owe him that much.

Yeah, okay.

I wasn't trying to drown myself.

I don't even know if I could.

Okay.

Isabelle, I just thought that after
everything that happened with Lily...

Shawn, this has nothing
to do with my mother.

I was teaching myself to swim.

In your clothes?

I never wore a
bathing suit before.

I didn't know what to get.

And I'm too old to ask for help.

It's embarrassing not
knowing how to swim.

Everybody's got to learn
sometime, Isabelle.

I learned when I was a kid.

But I never was a kid.

That's why I never learned
how to swim or how to drive.

Or ever went out on a date.

I keep reading about all
these rites of passage.

Like stuff everyone goes through
before they grow up, yeah?

Yeah, but I am grown up.

And I missed out on all of it.

It's not fair.

- I've got to catch up, so I made a list.
- A list?

That's pretty organised.

Well, Isabelle, there is
a pool at the Center.

I could probably teach
you the basics.

Really?

Thanks, Shawn.

Dad?

How old were you when you
learned how to swim?

Oh, about 11, I guess.

Why? You want me to teach you?

That's okay. Shawn
said he'd do it.

Oh, he did, did he?

Well,

make sure he doesn't throw you
in the deep end right away.

That's what my
grandmother did to me.

Look, Isabelle. I'm gonna
be gone overnight.

- If you need anything, go see Shawn.
- Where are you going?

I'm gonna take your mother home.

I'm putting her to rest.

Well, can I come with you?

I don't think so.

I'm flying

and to tell you the truth,

I don't think you're ready to
be away from the Center yet.

You want to be alone with her
when you say goodbye, don't you?

Yeah. I guess I do.

- Tom.
- Oh, God!

You scared the hell out of me, Diana.
What are you doing here?

Why is your gun out? What
the hell is going on?

Jarvis is on her way over,
she's got everyone with her.

You need to come in.

- Why? What are you talking about?
- You shot T.J. Kim this morning.

- What?
- You don't remember?

Don't remember? I
didn't shoot anybody.

- I've been here all morning.
- Can someone confirm that?

No, no, I was supposed to have a
conference call with Kyle's attorneys.

They cancelled, though.

Look, I took a half a
personal day, Diana.

I went jogging. I
wasn't at work.

You gotta stop saying that because
two dozen people saw you there.

Look, I don't know what's going on.
I...

Maybe you're blacking
out like Kyle did.

Maybe it's something else. Maybe
it's like some 4400 ability.

I mean, I don't know,
but you gotta come in.

And what happens if I do?

- I get arrested for murder?
- You know, we'll figure it out, okay?

Everyone wants to help you.
You just have to come in.

- You mind if I get dressed first?
- Oh, sure.

Are you sure you remember
everything you did this morning?

Like there's no time
gaps or anything?

You didn't take a nap?

Because, Tom...

Tom?

Damn it!

Yeah, hi, it's me. He got away.

I don't know how. They only
sent one agent after him.

Look, sorry. He got away.

What? No way. He's an NTAC agent.
He'll be expecting that.

Okay.

You're right. This
has to happen.

I'll do it.

I was letting him get dressed.

I didn't think he would jump
from a second storey window.

Well, obviously you underestimated
your partner's resolve.

- Does he still seem blameless to you?
- I don't know.

Look, it was a really bad call
and I take full responsibility.

I've alerted local law
enforcement, the FBI.

I've told them that Tom
is wanted for questioning

in connection with a murder.
He's a fugitive now.

Oh, don't give me that look, Diana.
I had no choice.

Sorry.

- It's Tom.
- Yeah.

Tom.

I'm sorry I ran out on you.

- Where are you?
- I didn't kill T.J. I didn't kill anyone.

I believe you. But you have to come in,
we can figure out what's going on.

- No, I'm not going to jail.
- No one's gonna put you in prison.

They did it to my son, Diana.

Was it really him that pulled the
trigger the day Jordan Collier died?

No, it wasn't, was it? It was
that thing inside of him.

- And where's Kyle? He's incarcerated.
- You're a fugitive.

Every police department in
Washington is looking for you.

Now, some local cop wants
to be a hero, spots you,

you know how these
things can end.

No, it's gonna end with me
proving I didn't do this.

Look, dig around, Diana.

There's got to be some
evidence that'll clear me.

Just help me find it.

Did he give you a location?

Marco, help me out, here.

If you were trying to prove that
your partner didn't commit a crime

that the whole world
thinks he did,

where would you start?

Well, I guess I'd start by pretending
that my partner wasn't involved.

Okay, just think of it
like any other case.

What's the first thing
you do when you start?

Well, look at the evidence.

I mean, there's a dead body. There's
the gun that Tom left behind.

And there's a bunch of
people that saw him here.

Well, they got security cameras
down in the detention ward, right?

You're serious?

You're really asking me
for all that footage?

Of course I'm serious.
Is that a problem?

Well, it's just...

I gave all the tapes to
him, like, an hour ago.

What are you talking about? I
haven't been up here all day.

What is this, a joke?

Marco, come on. You
were just here.

You signed for all the footage
from the detention ward.

- This isn't so hard.
- That's because I haven't let go yet.

All right, I'm gonna move my hands.
Are you ready?

No, not yet. I'm
kind of comfortable.

You're kind of comfortable?

I'm freezing. I don't
know what's going on.

- This pool is supposed to be heated.
- Want me to make it warmer?

- Oh, you can do that?
- I think so. Hold on.

How do you do that?

I don't know. How do you heal?

It's not the same, Isabelle.
Healing's one thing.

That's what we can
all do, one thing.

Not me. I guess I'm different.

Shawn? I'm sorry to barge in.

We're scheduled to brief
the board of directors.

- That's starting now?
- Five minutes ago. They're on hold.

Alana.

Thomas. What are you doing here?

I'm in trouble. My bosses at NTAC,
they think I did something.

- I need you to come.
- What are you talking about?

- I don't have time to explain. Just...
- Thomas!

- Hello?
- Alana.

I'm right down the street. I
need you to come meet me.

Honey, I'm In trouble. Everyone
thinks I killed somebody.

- Who is this? I know it's not Thomas.
- What are you talking about?

I'm looking at Thomas right now.

Honey, listen. That's not me.

The man you're looking at, he
can impersonate me somehow.

I don't believe you.

He walked into NTAC and he
shot someone this morning.

Alana, he's dangerous,
get away from him.

Alana, listen to me. Your mother's
middle name is Madeleine.

You wanted a dog when you were a
kid, your parents gave you a bird.

A parakeet named Charlie.

Listen, we made love last night.
There were two candles burning.

Just hold on. I'll
be right there.

- Did I have a dog?
- I don't have time for this.

- What are you doing? Let me go!
- What's going on, Tom?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

- Where is he?
- He just ran through the back.

Hey!

Did you see a guy come down this alley?
He looked exactly like me.

- I didn't see anybody.
- You sure?

He's gone. He's gone.

What do you mean? He just
ran out a few seconds ago.

There was no one here.
Just some kid...

It was him. It had to be.

I had him. I had him.

Had who? What kid are
you talking about?

The one who's impersonating me.

The guy who's framing
me for murder.

He looked like you,
he sounded like you.

He was standing as close as
you are to me right now.

And he had me completely fooled.

Don't feel bad. He fooled
everyone at NTAC too.

At least we know
what's going on now.

- He's a 4400, isn't he?
- Yeah.

Somehow he can pass
himself off as you.

Yeah, I'm not sure how.

I mean, maybe he's got some
kind of optical camouflage.

He convinces your brain you're talking
to whoever he wants you to see.

He's a boy. Why would
he want to kill anyone?

Not just anybody. T.J. Kim.

The one member of the Nova
Group we had in custody.

I mean, think about it.
It's a good plan.

You get rid of the one
member of your cell

who could testify against you.

You compromise a
government agent.

And NTAC, the one agency that's
trying to hunt you down,

is wasting their time
chasing one of their own.

Alana. You might
want to get in here.

There's all kind of people
flashing badges everywhere.

They say they're NTAC agents.

Look, stall them. I
want you to go home.

I want you to lock the doors

and don't open it until
this is all cleared up.

If I need to get a hold of
you, I'll use a password.

How about Death in Venice?

Your favourite book.
It's a good choice.

Listen, Shawn, thanks for
letting me come in here.

I know it puts you at risk. I just
didn't know where else to go.

Look, you guys must have a
database of 4400s here, right?

- Yeah.
- I need to get a look

and find out who this kid is.

Here, I can pull it up
on my laptop for you.

This might take a while, you
mind if I let myself out?

No, that's fine.

There you go. You know,

Uncle Tommy, you can
stay here if you want.

- I might take you up on it.
- All right.

But, hey, you get the couch.

Okay.

Kidneys, huh?

That explains the
blood in the urine.

Kevin, we had a deal. I was
gonna help you through this

as long as it wasn't
compromising your health.

Well, guess what? I'm
calling the hospital.

But they won't let
me take my shots.

Oh, no. You're done
with your shots.

I know we had an agreement.
And I'll honour it.

Just let me show you
something before you call.

What happened to
your fingernails?

They fell off. Dissolved,
I guess you'd say.

God, if you're trying to change my mind,
you're not doing a very good job.

Kevin, what the hell
did you just do?

Your tissue is healing itself
from trauma that quickly?

Kevin, you've developed
a 4400 ability.

It's getting there.

It doesn't always work.

Doesn't always work?
You just put a scalpel

- through the back of your hand.
- I know.

I was nervous about that.

- These are fun to drive fast.
- Yeah.

You know, all that information
about compression rates

and gear ratios just seems
completely irrelevant.

Well, you're not driving home.
Get out of there.

You're lucky you didn't
wrap my car around a pole.

Is there anything on this list of
yours that involves, you know,

a little less risk
of bodily harm?

We could have sex. Come
on, you have a big bed.

Isabelle. Hey, hey.

- No.
- Why? It's on my list.

It's an important rite of
passage into adulthood.

It'll be fun. I was
good at driving.

I'm sure you'd catch
on real quick.

I don't know.

For one thing, your
dad would kill me.

Why? I'm an adult.

Well, you are and you
aren't, Isabelle.

Let's just say he has a right to
have an opinion on the matter.

I don't know, Isabelle. I feel like
I'd be taking advantage of you.

But I want to.

I'm flattered. I really am.

But I just don't think you're
ready to make that decision.

We barely know each other.

I know you better than I know
anyone else in the world.

That may be true. It's
still not gonna happen.

Lessons with
Isabelle going well?

Not lessons and it's
completely innocent.

Do me a favour and don't
ask about them again.

- This is Skouris.
- His name is Boyd Gelder, Diana.

He's a 4400. I know
where he lives.

Where who lives?
Who's Boyd Gelder?

The kid who's doing this.

He can imitate me somehow. And
not just imitate. He can be me.

At least make you think he's me.

He lives with his mom. I'm in Schenley
Park. It's right by his house.

Well, can you wait for me?
I'll be 15 minutes.

I'll wait. But, Diana, just you.

Just me.

We just got here.
Where are you going?

Schenley Park. I think we
caught a break on Tom's case.

Tom!

Tom!

I didn't tell anyone, Tom.

Just Marco.

At least I thought it was Marco.

I looked across the park,
you were standing there.

It was you.

- But it wasn't.
- Listen, tell me about it.

You weren't the one actually
chasing yourself across the park.

I mean, I don't really
run like that, do I?

It's an amazing ability.

Marco's gonna have a
field day over this.

Good. Get him working on it.

We'll need a way to handle this
guy when we get him into custody.

Well, wait, wait, wait.

No, you don't need to
skulk around anymore.

You can come in with me now.

I'm still on the hook
for murder, Diana.

No, you're not.
Boyd posed as you.

He shot T.J. Kim.
You're not responsible.

Listen, I just saw his
abilities with my own eyes.

That's proof of
something, right there.

I will back you up on
everything you say.

Which means exactly nothing.

Thank you, Diana, but
you're my partner.

Everyone expects you
to stand up for me.

There's only one way to prove
I didn't kill T.J. Kim.

- I have to get Boyd Gelder.
- Okay, let's go.

Are you sure you want to come?

I'm your partner.

Everyone expects that
I'll stand up for you.

I should be back by tonight.

I've been taking my time,

stopping off at all the
places your mother liked.

Everything okay? You been going
to your doctor's appointments?

- Most of them.
- Isabelle.

- We'll need to keep monitoring you.
- I'm fine.

Shawn's been taking good care
of me just like you asked.

He's doing a really good job.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

He taught me the back stroke.
He let me drive his car.

And then I asked him to have
sex with me, but he said no.

He said you'd be angry if we did.
Is that true?

Isabelle,

you're too young to
be thinking about

- that.
- I am?

But I thought I was almost 20.
What-f?

How old were you when you
lost your virginity?

It was...

Things were a bit different in my day.
It's not the same.

It's not?

Why?

You know what, Isabelle?

I'm not having this conversation
with you over the phone.

So Shawn was right. You are mad.

I don't understand.

What does NTAC wanna talk
to my son for, anyway?

Look, he's in some trouble
we can't discuss.

We just needed to talk to him.

Well, he's not here.

He went away on a ski-trip
with some friends

and won't be back till tomorrow.

Ma'am,

your son is not on a ski-trip
and this is serious.

Is there any way you
can contact him?

First, tell me what's going on.

I mean, what is it you
think my son did?

Mrs. Gelder, there are a lot
of agents looking for Boyd.

Situations like this
can get very chaotic.

People get hurt. The sooner we get
to your son, the safer he'll be.

So why don't you call him and
convince him you need to see him.

Boyd's late. I wonder
if he'll even show.

Let's just give him
another few minutes.

Nice mom. Nice house.
It makes you wonder.

If the Nova Group can turn this
kid, who else have they gotten to?

Everyone keeps telling the 4400
they're here to save the world.

- Whatever that means.
- Exactly.

I mean, say what you like about Nova,
they do seem to have a game plan.

I'm sure that helps
their recruiting pitch.

Well, I'm just guessing, but
I don't think that's Boyd.

How the hell did NTAC get here?

Maybe Boyd figured out it was
a trap and tipped them off.

- Thomas.
- Alana, open up.

What are you doing here? NTAC
agents are watching the house.

They just drove away.

They must be changing shifts or something.
Come on, let me in.

Death in Venice, okay'? Open up.

I don't want anyone to see me
standing out here. Come on.

What did you do with your key?

I lost it. I must have lost it
while I was running around.

Come on, it's me, Tom, Alana.
I gave you the password.

Please don't make me. I don't
have anything against you.

Tom, it says it's your house.

- Alana?
- I wrote a letter on your computer.

You need to come sign it.

- Boyd?
- It's a confession.

It says you cracked
under the strain

of the murder charges
against your son.

You shot T.J. and now
you can't live with it.

- So you decided to kill yourself.
- Where is Alana? What did you do?

It's my
get-out-of-jail-free card.

See, you're the only one
who can identify me.

Everyone else, they've
just been seeing double.

- They'll sound crazy.
- I'm not signing a suicide note, Boyd.

- Put Alana on the phone.
- Oh, you'll sign.

Because either I shoot you

or I shoot her.

It's a trade.

Your life for hers.

You know what?

I don't think I can let you do this, Tom.
We need to call Jarvis.

We need to block off the street.
We need to surround your house.

- He has Alana.
- Tom, he wants to kill you.

The least we can do is make it a
little bit difficult for him.

If it was Maia in there,

would you call Jarvis?

Do you like it?

Why did you bring this to me?

You're a young woman.

A young woman should
have a nice dress.

It's gonna look good on you.
See for yourself.

Thank you.

I see you've been spending
a lot of time with Shawn.

So?

Well, I think it's wonderful.

Shawn's a very
isolated young man.

He doesn't get to spend much
time around people his own age.

I think

you should get as close
to him as you can.

Matthew?

Shawn's nice.

And what I'm doing with
him is not for you

and it's not because
I'm trying to use him.

Of course not.

But eventually, Isabelle,

you and Shawn are gonna
be on opposite sides

of a very large
ideological divide.

So enjoy your friendship.

But don't let your
emotions run too deep.

If you do,

it'll make things
more difficult later.

- What things?
- You'll know.

It doesn't match your eyes.

You should take care of that.

You were a beautiful woman.

Both of you.

You looked exactly alike.

I never could figure out why.

But one way or the other,
I've had a Lily in my life

for over 50 years.

That's all gone now.

And I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

But it makes me feel better knowing
the two of you are together.

Forever.

This is it for you, you know.

I don't know what kind of fairy
tale the Nova Group sold you,

but it doesn't matter what
happens to me or Tom.

Your life is over. They sent
you on a suicide mission.

I volunteered.

And I don't think you're in any
spot to be giving me advice.

You're a 4400.

You're special.

You're supposed to
be changing things.

Instead you live
with an NTAC agent.

And what are you going
to change, Boyd?

You killed a girl.

How does that make
the world better?

T.J. Kim was a soldier.

She would rather have me put a
bullet in her head than betray us.

Everyone talks about
saving the world.

Meanwhile, for the past 50 years,
everything's been turning bad.

One disaster after another.

But we're gonna show
the world a new way.

We're gonna take them
down a new path.

By force, if we have to.

I mean, can't you see?

The real catastrophe is to
sit back and do nothing.

Did you hear that?

Stop it.

- Stop it, both of you. Stop or I'll shoot.
- Nice work, Alana. We got him.

Shut up!

- Alana, Death in Venice.
- Yeah, that's the password.

Come on, Alana. Give me the gun.
We'll call NTAC. It's over.

Alana, it's me, Tom. Ask me a question.
Anything...

Wait, don't fall for it.
He's probably read my file.

He knows everything about us.
Don't listen to him.

Ask me something about us.

Something only I would know.
Anything about us.

Shut up, both of you.

Baby, I am so proud of you.
Billy would have been proud.

- You know about Billy?
- Yeah.

That was your son. He
died in a car accident.

Alana, he did research.
Anyone could find that out.

Give me the gun. Just
give me the gun.

Alana, give me the gun.

- No.
- Alana, give me the gun.

- Come on.
- Get down on the ground.

What? No, no. You've
got the wrong one.

- Think about this.
- I said get down.

Hold still, Boyd.

Don't move.

You're just a boy.

I'm a soldier.

- And there are more of us every day.
- Let's go, soldier.

Hey, welcome back.

- Yeah, thanks.
- Did everything go okay?

Yeah, thank you.

And thank you for keeping
an eye on Isabelle.

Oh, well.

It's not a problem. I
didn't really do much.

Yeah, well, thank you, anyway.

I worry about her.

Well, you don't really need to.

She seems to be getting
along really well.

I'm her father. It's my job.

And it's harder with Isabelle.

People see her,
they see a woman.

A beautiful woman.

And they might forget that
inside she's just a little girl.

Still,

I'm glad she has you around,

to be a friend.

Shawn.

- How'd you get in here?
- I can do stuff, remember?

Yeah.

So what's up? What do you need?

Just one thing.

It's on my list.

First kiss.

This isn't smart, Isabelle.

Okay.
