The 4400 (2004–2007): Season 4, Episode 6 - The Marked - full transcript

The NTAC nerd squad bring to their Director's attention a 4400, Curtis Peck, who was a shoestring budget film maker and continues to be one, except that his 4400 ability seems to be to receive script pieces that combine to tell the true, complete answers to haunting questions, like "What happened to Jimmy Hoffa?" and "Who shot JFK?". And now he's missing and he left a video message where he told that Jordan Collier is not the real threat - there is something far more dangerous, and now they are after him. Peck's producer shows a trailer of the film Peck was supposed to start making, "The Marked", to Tom and Diana, and it paints a new, frightful picture: In the future the 4400 are supposed to prevent, exists a group of powerful individuals who like their time just the way it is and have irrevocably replaced the minds of ten important persons of the present time with the minds of their agents. Peck calls them "The Marked" because each one supposedly has an X-shaped mark behind their left ear because of the mind-replacing procedure. So far, Peck has received only one name. When Tom and Diana start investigating, Peck's unbelievable conspiracy theory starts to gain credibility... Meanwhile, Shawn meets Collier and tells him that he can't join Collier's cause because he needs to focus on his politic opponent, Gabriel Hewitt. Soon after that, Hewitt suffers a stroke. A coincidence?

The world will have to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400:

You are the alternative we need
to Collier

and his promicin-pushing radicals.

Does that mean you'll run
for city council?

That means I'm gonna run
and I'm gonna win.

I intend on attacking you
until the day of the election.

There are a lot of people out there
that are afraid of what you represent.

I have my eye on something greater
than just city council.

- You hate all the 4400.
- So what if I do?

I have a reason to believe
that you're capable of terrible things



and that you have
an evil living inside of you.

I'm supposed to eliminate the 4400.

All this talk of a catastrophe
the 4400 are supposed to prevent?

- It's lies.
- So you keep telling me.

Everything in that book
is going to come true.

Collier will lead the human race
to salvation.

You will help him.

I found the guy for the job.

His name's Robert Shaftoe.

Ex-Marine.

Deadeye sniper.

He did some work for our organisation
out of Kansas City.

If you want someone killed
until they're completely dead,

then Shaftoe's your man.



Sounds good. Bring him in.

Are you sure you wanna go
through with this?

Because once I bring Shaftoe
through that door,

there's no going back.

The target is a dead man.

- Completely.
- Oh, my God.

Come on. The acting, the dialog,
this is horrendous.

- Marco, why are we watching this?
- Okay, the best part's coming up.

The assignment is dangerous.

In fact, it might be
the most dangerous assignment

you've ever been assigned.

But if you succeed,
the danger will be worth it.

And the rewards?

They will be worth the danger.

Danger is my business.

Consider the target dead.

Completely dead.

That's our guy. That's Curtis Peck.

He's an original-recipe 4400?

Correction.
He's our favourite original-recipe 4400.

Before he disappeared, Curtis wrote,
directed and starred in horror movies.

Real low-budget stuff.

Yeah, the sets were mostly
in his house.

The actors? Yeah, pretty much
just his friends and family.

Really? I never would've guessed.

After he came back, Curtis kept an
making movies but he shifted genres.

Each one of his movies
is about an unsolved mystery.

He did one
about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.

He filmed a costume drama
in his backyard

about the lost colonies
at Roanoke.

You just saw his take
on JFK's assassination.

That's great, Marco.
I'm glad this guy has a hobby.

It's not just a hobby.

Some people think
that making these films

- is Curtis' 4400 ability.
- Come on, guys.

You're not telling us that that movie

tells us what really happened
to President Kennedy?

Look, there's no way to know
for sure.

But I mean, there really is an
ex-Marine named Robert Shaftoe

and he really was in Dallas
on November 22nd, 1963.

You can't prove Curtis is right

but you also can't deny
that his theories are compelling.

Some people wanna think
everything is a conspiracy

and this guy is really appealing
to them.

But we've got a lot of stuff
on our plate

and we just don't have time
to look into something

that might be a 4400 ability.

I don't think I could sit through
another of those.

Whoa, whoa, look. We didn't ask you
down here to tell you about his ability.

Curtis disappeared.
Nobody can find him.

About ten days ago, he stopped
posting on his MySpace page.

We noticed,
so we tried to get in touch with him.

He's not picking up the phone.
He's not answering e-mails.

I know. I know. No big deal, right?

I mean, I wasn't really worried

until he missed
his last NTAC check-in.

Curtis Peck
has dropped off the map.

Somebody should look into it.

- What is this place?
- Don't know.

Cassie just said
we should come here.

I think
it's an old bomb shelter.

We should be safe here. It doesn't
look like anyone's been here in years.

I don't understand
why we came to Seattle.

We just led a hundred people

into a city
where everyone's looking for us.

Nobody has a place to stay.

Nobody knows what to do next.
Are you telling me this is the answer?

- This place is a mess.
- We'll repair it.

Thank you for finding this for us.

You have
a truly extraordinary ability.

Get everyone settled in.

This place is perfect.
We begin here.

How much you wanna bet
we're about to wake up a man

with a crushing hangover?

Curtis?

Curtis Peck?

Curtis Peck?

Oh, my. You think someone broke
into the place?

Maybe. Or else this guy's as bad
at housekeeping

as he is at making movies.

It doesn't look like anything's missing.
His video equipment is here.

Yeah.

Are you looking for Curtis?

Yes, we are. We're from NTAC.

- Do you know him?
- Of course.

I'm Neal Handler.

I live around back.
I'm Curtis' neighbour.

- Okay.
- And his collaborator.

I'm proud to say I've been in more
of his movies than anyone else.

- Yeah. Yeah. We've seen your work.
- Thank you.

I haven't seen Curtis in a few days.
Is he all right?

Well, that's what we're trying
to find out.

Do you know
if Curtis had any enemies?

Or anyone who might wanna break
into his house?

Enemies.

Take your pick. The CIA. The Mafia.

The Freemasons.
Curtis exposed a lot of people.

So you believe his movies are real?

Of course.

That's why they brought him back
in a ball of light.

To tell the truth to a reluctant world.

I'll tell you what, though,

if someone did toss this place,

I can guarantee you they didn't find
what they were looking for.

Curtis has a secret hiding place.

He keeps his journal in there.
All his script notes.

Could you show it to us?

We just wanna help out your friend,
that's all.

We really like his movies too.
I mean, we just saw the one on JFK

and it was good.
You were really good.

Okay.

Curtis uses those for inspiration.

If you're watching this,
then that means I'm in trouble.

Deep trouble.

Don't believe anything you hear
about a car accident or a suicide.

If I'm gone,
it's because they came after me.

I have an idea for a new movie.

It's big.

It's so big it's gonna change
everything if! get to make it.

And that's what they're scared of.

That's them. They're here now.

You need to know, Jordan Collier,

the 4400, they're not the ones
you should be scared of.

There's something else out there.
There's something worse.

It's much worse.
They're coming for me now.

Consider the target dead.

Completely dead.

According to Curtis, Jimmy Hoffa
is buried in the Florida Everglades.

If you believe that,
you should read this.

I ran a background check on Curtis.

He owes money to credit card
companies, the IRS.

He's three years behind
on his alimony payments.

I talked to his ex-wife.
She moved to Wisconsin

just to get away from Curtis.

She hasn't heard from him
in nine months.

Look, if anybody's coming
after this guy,

it should be creditors
or movie critics.

But he has almost six figures
of outstanding debt.

Isn't it possible
he just skipped town?

I don't know.

He looked genuinely scared
at the end of that video.

And I don't think Curtis
is a good enough actor to fake that.

Besides, if making movies
is really his 4400 ability,

aren't you even
just a little bit curious?

Don't you wanna know
what's bigger than Jordan Collier?

Until we have some evidence
that tells me this guy's legit,

all I wanna do is make sure
he's okay.

Look at the credits.
Ever since Curtis got back,

his movies have been produced
by a guy called Stuart Henley.

I checked him out.
He's a retired lawyer. He lives nearby.

Maybe he knows something
about Curtis' latest movie idea.

It's worth a shot. Very least, I'd like
to look into the eyes of the man

who put up good money to pay
for I Dismembered Jimmy Hoffa.

Don't think my announcement

I intend to run for mayor will mean
I'll be spending less time

monitoring Shawn Farrell's
candidacy.

If anything,
I think that the mayor's office

would allow me
a stronger platform...

Mr. Farrell, this just came
by messenger.

Thank you. Joanna?

We're gonna be working together
every day. Call me Shawn.

- Okay.
- Okay?

Hello.

Hey, Shawn. It's Kyle.

Kyle.

Where are you?
I've been worried about you.

I'm fine, man.
I'm better than fine, actually.

I'm as good as I've been
in a long time.

Did you get the package?

- You sent this?
- We did.

Look, it's really important, man.

You need to read
the whole thing before your meeting.

What meeting, Kyle?

Jordan's nearby.
He wants to see you.

You're with Jordan?

What does he wanna see me about?

Look, it's important, okay?

Call me on this number
after you finish the book.

We'll send someone
to come get you.

Mr. Henley?
I can hear a radio playing inside

and I swear I heard
someone moving around.

Mr. Henley?

He's back here. Hey.

Hey. Wait. Hey. Wait. Hey.

- Wait, hey.
- I promise. I won't tell anybody.

- Don't kill me.
- Just relax.

- Nobody's going to kill you.
- We're from NTAC.

We're just trying
to locate Curtis Peck.

- You won't find him. They got to him.
- Who are they?

Why did you run from us?
What are you scared of?

The people from Curtis' movie.

- The Marked.
- That's the name of his movie?

Can you tell us about it?

Well, about a month ago,
he came to me,

said he had an idea
for a new movie called The Marked.

He said it was his biggest film yet.

I was fascinated. So I asked him
to make me a short trailer.

I like to see what the movie's about
before I write a cheque.

Well,

he gave me the trailer
about two weeks ago.

Do you still have a copy?

Yeah. And you're more
than welcome to it

because if what Curtis
is saying is true,

then I wish to God
I had never watched it.

This is the world.

Look familiar?

It should.

And it shouldn't.

We all know it changed forever
when the 4400 came back.

Their mission?

They were sent back by the future
to stop a catastrophe.

But not everyone from the future
thought they were a good thing.

There's a faction of elites

who want the future
to stay exactly as it is.

Call them...

the Marked.

Ten agents from the future

inserted into the bodies
often prominent people from today.

Their bodies and minds
have been hijacked

to pursue the agenda of the future.

Their goal? To guide world events

and to stop the 4400.

The only evidence they exist:

a mark behind their left earlobe,

the remnant of the procedure

that grafted a new consciousness
onto their victims.

My movie, The Marked,
will tell the chilling tale

of this global conspiracy.

It will name names,

starting with the appearance
of the first Marked,

a man named Matthew Ross.

Matthew Ross was a lobbyist
with access to Jordan Collier.

After he was marked,
his job was to guide

the Marked's ultimate weapon,

Isabelle Tyler, into accepting her role
as the agent of the 4400's destruction.

Isabelle, I told you.

You have to accept your role
as the agent of the 4400's destruction.

But everything did not go
according to plan.

I don't think so, Matthew.

Today's graduation day.

And you're my diploma.

But the Marked
did not accept defeat lying down.

They continue to plan.

They have their greedy fingers
on the marionette strings of the world.

And we, their puppets,
don't even know it.

The group gathered for the first time
at the behest of Drew Imroth.

That's right. The CEO of the biggest
software company in the world.

- One of the Marked.
- I know it's dangerous

for us all to meet like this.

But the information I have
is important.

Very, very important.

It better be important, Mr. Imroth.

It's Easter.

Do you know how hard it is to get
away from the Vatican at Easter?

Take it down a notch,
Your Eminence.

I have big news.

Jordan Collier back.

And we need to stop him.

Completely stop him.

The Marked. A direct-market thriller
available in all territories in 2008.

I am so buying that movie.

So either that's the ramblings
of a madman

or Curtis Peck has just exposed
the biggest conspiracy of all time.

Yeah, according to that movie,
Matthew Ross was one of these guys,

the Marked.
And Isabelle Tyler killed him.

And we always wondered
if that were true.

What about Imroth?
The CEO of Ubient Software

is supposed to be some
double agent from the future?

Everyone always says that company
is trying to take over the world.

- Now we know.
- The only thing we know

for sure is that Curtis Peck
is a horrible, horrible filmmaker.

Though I do have to admit there are a
bunch of questions I'd like to ask him.

But since he's in the wind, I guess
we'll have to settle for his producer.

Get Stuart Henley in here.

Mr. Henley, it's Diana Skouris
from NTAC.

We need to talk. Can you open up?

Diana.

This smells like exhaust.

Stand back.

No big surprise
in the coroner's preliminary report.

Stuart Henley died
of carbon monoxide poisoning.

There's no suicide note
but there's no sign of foul play, either.

So do you really think
he committed suicide?

Henley was an odd guy.

I mean, he'd have to be
to pay for Curtis' movies.

So I guess it's possible.
But I don't know, the timing seems off.

Why would he commit suicide

right after NTAC
got in touch with him?

So, what then?

Executed by the Marked?

I'm not ready to go there yet.

Yeah, me neither.
But I've got a lot of questions.

You know Drew “moth
is in that movie.

Ubient's based in Seattle.

Maybe we can get in
and see him tomorrow morning.

And ask him what exactly?

Oh, I got it.
Excuse me, when you're not running

the biggest computer company
in the world, are you by any chance

involved in an enormous
intercontinental conspiracy?

Maybe.

Maybe. Or maybe we can just ask him
whether Curtis Peck

ever tried to get in touch with him.

- Sounds good. See you tomorrow.
- Okay.

Okay.

- What, you're not going home?
- No, not for a while.

Meghan asked me
to put all this in an e-mail.

I told her I'd get it off to her tonight.

- Want a hand?
- No, I got it.

Go ahead. Spend time with your
daughter while she's still awake.

- Thanks.
- Good night.

Bye.

We appreciate you taking the time
10 meet with us, Mr. “moth.

Really not a problem.
I'm a huge supporter of NTAC.

You guys have tough jobs.

Please have a seat.

I only wish I could be more helpful.

I've never heard of this guy.
You said his name was Curtis Peck?

Yeah, that's right.
He's a 4400 who makes movies.

And you, well, you're a character
in his latest film.

Really? Who plays me?

I always hoped
it would be Jeff Goldblum.

It's more of a low-budget
kind of thing.

What's it about?

Well, it's interesting. It's creative.

It's a global conspiracy

in which agents from the future
have taken over the bodies

of prominent people
from all around the world.

I have to say, I'm the subject of a lot
of conspiracy theories

but that's the most innovative one
I've heard yet.

So are you hereto ask me
if it's true?

Because you have to figure
I wouldn't tell you even if it was.

No, actually we came to see you

because Curtis Peck
has gone missing.

There's a chance one of his
investors have been murdered.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Should I be worried
for my own safety?

No, we don't think so.

But if Curtis should try
and get in touch with you

or if anyone should ask you
about a movie called The Marked,

could you get in touch with us?

- Absolutely.
- Thank you.

Is there anything else
I can help you with?

Actually,

this may seem like
a really strange request.

Do you think we could take a look
behind your left earlobe?

Let me guess. This has something
to do with that movie?

Have at it.

Has that mole always been there?

Ever since I was born.

My dermatologist tells me
I have to keep an eye on it.

So give it to me straight.

Does this mean I'm one of then?

What was the name of that movie?

The Marked?

Kyle, what's with all
the spy-game stuff here?

Am I really this far outside
of the Collier circle of trust?

It's just a precaution.

But I need you to promise me
that you're not gonna freak out, okay?

I would just like to take this thing off,
please.

Hi, Shawn.

- What the hell is she doing here?
- She's with us. It's okay.

She just wanted to talk ta you
before you saw Jordan.

I'm glad you're awake.

And I'm sorry.

For everything.

I know I was wrong.

And I know
what we had wasn't love.

Yeah, you're right. It wasn't.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

Even

But I just needed you to hear it.

Well, there's no one so far gone
they can't find their way

back to the movement.

Even if I told the world that you
were wrong to hand out promicin?

Well, I wasn't surprised
they had you speak against me.

Politics is compromise.

That's why
I never pursued it myself.

I understand that you are wanting
to build a bridge between positives

and the rest of the world.
But, Shawn,

I'm telling you,
events are moving past that.

We have big plans here.

And when we're finished,
the 4400 won't need the mainstream.

- The mainstream will come to us.
- Is that what your book told you?

I've read it. Frankly, it scares me.

Are you gonna tell me you're
gonna bring God to the world?

If the word "God" frightens you,
substitute "paradise."

We're gonna make it happen.
You should be with us.

Yes, but who's in charge of paradise?

How many martyrs
will it take to create it?

Jordan, you've done great things
for the 4400.

You have done great things for me.
But you are on the wrong path here.

And you've always been rebellious.

But I think you're afraid of change,
Shawn.

Or is it just me?

I'm against anyone
who wants to accumulate power,

that won't tell me
exactly what they wanna do with it.

Not just you, anyone.

There's a man by the name
of Gabriel Hewitt.

He's running for mayor.

He's dangerous.

Maia Skouris saw him in a vision.

He's in charge of prison camps
and they're rounding up 44005.

Even if I wanted to drop out of
the race, even if I wanted to join you,

I can't because I have to stop him.

Well, it sounds
like you have your hands full already.

Good luck in your political career.

I'm sorry.

I don't know, but that birthmark
behind Imroth's ear was definitely

shaped like an X.

Exactly like the ones
in Curtis' movies.

It was weird, yes.

But it could be a coincidence.
We're looking for a paranoid 4400.

That doesn't mean we have
to become paranoid ourselves.

Tom, this man is here to see you.

My name's Walt Saperstein.
I'm a psychiatrist at Feeney Memorial.

- Okay.
- I have to bring you to the hospital.

You're being placed under
a 72-hour psychiatric hold.

What? Why?

You sent an e-mail last night. It alleged
the most powerful people in the world

- are united in some conspiracy.
- Oh, no. It didn't allege anything.

That's a summary of our work
on a case.

Well, nevertheless,
someone in Washington read it.

They've reviewed your files. They're
worried you've had a psychotic break.

Shut up. You sent my e-mail
on to D.C.?

I do that every time you open a case.
I'm sorry.

I never would've done it
if I knew this was gonna happen.

- Get your hands off me.
- It's only gonna get worse for you

if you put up a fight.
It's only temporary.

You need to go with them. We'll do
everything we canto end this quickly.

Fine.

Well, I don't understand.

What do you mean
that no one can get in to see him?

Well, how long is Tom
gonna be in isolation?

Okay, forget it.
I'll call back in the morning.

Don't move.

- What are you doing down here?
- Don't shoot me.

I'm the one you're looking for.

Curtis?

You're alive.

I am.

If you can keep me that way,
I'll tell you all about the Marked.

So how did you find me?

I've been in hiding
ever since I made that movie trailer.

I knew they'd be coming for me.

My buddy Neal sent me an e-mail

after you and your partner
came by my house.

He thought I could trust you.

What can you tell me
about these people?

Well, not everything.

I haven't finished writing the script.

That's how my ability works.

Ideas just jump into my head
while I'm writing

but I don't know the whole story
until I write the end.

Let's see.

They don't have abilities.
The procedure doesn't work that way.

I do know that all ten of them
had a meeting in 2005.

It was the only time
they were all together.

It was in Tunis.

It's a city in North Africa.

No other names
other than Drew “moth?

Not yet.

That's why I came to you.

I need a safe place
where I can write.

You're a fan of my movies.

- Cool.
- Yeah, I've seen them all.

It's a pleasure to have you here.

Yeah, you can work right there
if you want to.

Thank you so much, Marco.
I really appreciate this.

We were careful on the way over here.
We weren't followed.

It's okay. I'll keep him working.

It's been a while since you've seen
the inside of my place, huh?

We should make a pot of coffee.

Do you mind staying up with me?
I like to have somebody

I can bounce ideas off.

Coffee.

Hey, Joanna,
I'm gonna need you to juggle around

a couple of my healing
appointments for today. What is it?

Gabriel Hewitt
had a stroke last night.

- What?
- It's bad.

I guess he has brain damage.

They're saying he's gonna have
to resign his seat on the city council

and withdraw from the race
for mayor.

I just got off the phone
with the hospital. Tom is fine.

If I keep the pressure on,

there's a chance they may
end his psych hold a day early.

What are you working on?

Do you want me to tell you,
or should I just put it in an e-mail?

That's not fair.
I had nothing to do

with what happened.
If I could've stopped it, I would've.

Tom's psych hold had nothing
to do with his state of mind.

We were getting close to something
and they sent us a warning.

Who? The people from Curtis' movie?
The Marked?

Well, I can't prove that,
but I do know that Drew Imroth

was in Tunisia of June 2005.
If the Marked ever gathered,

that's when it happened. The same
time Wesley Burke was also there.

The political adviser to the president?
What was he doing in Africa

while the White House was
gearing up for mid-term elections?

I don't know. But he had company.
That's Cardinal Emmanuel Calabria.

The rumour is he finished third
in the last papal election.

This is all interesting
but Drew Imroth heads up

the world's
largest charitable foundation.

He travels to Africa all the time.

And these other guys, well,
who knows why they were there.

Well, I'm gonna find out.

And I'm also gonna learn
who else was there to play that week.

Let me know if I can help.

The Marked have no way
of getting in contact with the future.

It's a one-way ticket.
They're cut off here.

Curtis, that's very interesting,
but there are no new names here.

We need some facts
and things that we can verify.

They'll come. I'm on a roll.

Tom? Are you okay?

They did something to me, Diana.

- They changed me.
- Just take it easy. Where are you?

At the hospital.

They just let me out.
Can you come and get me?

Are you sure
it wasn't there before?

I'm positive.

They did something to me.
Those people who came into my room,

they were dressed for an operation.

They put something into me.

What? Like another person?
Another consciousness?

Hey, Tom,
I don't think it works that way.

Curtis is working on his script
right now

and according to him, the Marked
are cut off from the future.

They can't just make more of them.

Yeah, but one of them's dead.
Matthew Ross.

What if they took whatever
was inside of him and put it into me?

No, you can't be sure of that.

Torn, just...
Please just tell me that you're still you.

I think so.

I mean, for now, anyway.

It's crap.

I can't get this scene right.

They're at the meeting in Tunisia.

They're face to face
for the first time.

Imroth is introducing them
to each other and...

I know what the scene is.
I just can't nail it.

Look, I have to think creatively
for my job too.

I mean, I share an office

with two of the most annoying guys
on the planet.

Believe me, I get stuck all the time.

Know what I do?

I shut my eyes

and I think of song lyrics.

Sounds dumb, right?
But I swear it almost always works.

What are you thinking of?

"The Trooper." Iron Maiden.

Hey, whatever gets you going.
Be right back.

Curtis?

Curtis?

Did you do this?

Did you order one of your followers
to give Hewitt a stroke?

Have we grown that far apart? You
actually believe I'm capable of that?

I don't know what you're capable of.
All I know is that two days ago,

I came and told you
that Hewitt was dangerous.

Now he has brain damage
and he probably won't have a career.

Then it looks like fate intervened
on our behalf.

- You're not answering my question.
- Because I find it offensive.

You're the one who's always saying
that we're at war.

Why wouldn't Hewitt
just be another casualty?

Just like all those people
that died taking your shot.

Those people made a choice.
They knew the risks.

- I knew the risks.
- Kyle.

I did not order anyone
to attack Gabriel Hewitt.

I don't believe you.

I can't begin to tell you
how disappointing that is.

Well, it's true.

That's why
I can't follow you anymore.

Did you see the license plate
on the car that took him away?

I'm sorry. What do we do now?

We need to tell Meghan.
Bring the whole building into this.

Hope we find Curtis
before the worst happens.

Tom. They just told me
you were released. Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much.
We were just coming to see you.

We need to talk to you
about Curtis Peck.

He came to me for protection
a couple of nights ago.

We tried to keep him safe
but we lost him.

And we think the Marked took him.

Guys, Curtis Peck is in the building.
He came in about an hour ago.

He went straight down
to NTAC medical for his check-up.

Sorry I had to rush out.

I know this is gonna sound weird

but I got a call from this
big movie producer who's in town.

He's a big fan of my work.

He offered me a deal
to direct a big Hollywood movie.

Don Incubus, Demon P.I.

It's a comic-book adaptation.

It's perfect for me.

I'm in business, guys.
This is what I always wanted.

But, Curtis, what about the
conspiracy? What about The Marked?

You were almost done. You were
just about to tell us all the names.

The names.

Look, there are no names.

Not really.

I made the whole thing up.

I'm putting that project on the shelf.
I couldn't finish it.

They got to you.
They bought you off, huh?

You really believed that stuff,
didn't you?

Look, I'm flattered.

But you need to calm down.

There's no such thing
as the Marked.

Just like Robert Shaftoe
didn't shoot JFK.

They're just movies.

So I'm sorry I missed my check-ups.

It won't happen again.

Can I leave now?

I gotta pack.

I'm going to Hollywood.

There's nothing unusual there.

I spent all afternoon at NTAC medical.
As far as they can tell,

- there's nothing different with me.
- Well, that's good, Tom.

It's all a mind game.
They just want us to back off.

It's not gonna work. We're gonna find
the truth about these people

with or without Curtis Peck.

Excuse me.
Agent Baldwin, Agent Skouris.

Sorry for the surprise.

I asked my driver to make a detour.

I can't get that crazy movie idea
out of my head.

What was it called? The Marked?

You know damn well
what it was called.

I guess I do.

I keep thinking what it would be like
to actually be one of those guys.

Imagine if you were stuck
in the past,

just cut off from your friends
and your family,

that'd be quite a sacrifice,
wouldn't it?

They sound kind of like heroes
to me.

Well, heroes
don't have people killed.

And they don't consume
the personalities

- of innocent men and women.
- Well, I don't know

what the Marked are up to.
I haven't seen the movie.

You never will know. No one will.

Maybe it's better that way.

Seems to me their work
would be best done in secret.

If they are out there,

I would think people like you
would consider them,

I don't know, allies?

After all, they have the same goal
as you, right?

To stop Jordan Collier's
global revolution

and all the chaos and unrest
that it could bring.

I'd just think of them as backup.

Valuable backup.

If... they exist.

That's right. If they exist.

Anyway,
it was good to see you two again.

I have to pick up my wife.

We're being honoured at
the World Health Organization tonight.

Those look like x-rays.
Is everything okay with you?

It didn't work.

Whatever you tried to do to me,
it didn't take.

I'm still me.

Of course, you're you.

We're all ourselves, aren't we?

I mean,

who else would we be?

He made you doubt me, didn't he?

Your cousin,
he made you doubt me.

It's just weird timing.

Hewitt's stroke.

If you have something you wanna
ask me, Kyle, I'll answer honestly.

Was this you?

Did you have this done?

I did not.

I believe you.

- I'm sorry Shawn didn't.
- I'm sorry too.

Shawn was like a son to me.

And I've lost him.

But I have found you.

Thank you.

Don't thank me. Just change.

I think we can rest easy.
It's all going to be fine.

Tell the others
I went to see the NTAC agents.

Baldwin thinks
it's some kind of ploy.

A mind game.

When we need him,

he'll be there for us.
