The world will have to deal with us.
Previously on The 4400:
These shots are free.
Give them to anyone who wants them.
But be careful to explain the risks.
Handing out promicin like candy changes everything.
Nobody can predict what's gonna happen
once people everywhere start developing abilities.
- April. - Hows it going, sibling?
April Skouris. Black sheep of the family.
You don't know this girl at all.
The whole time we were planning our wedding,
you were working with Ryland. Betraying me.
- Where's the promicin? - Get your hands off of me.
Yeah, he's stable. That's the good news.
But he hasn't regained consciousness. They don't know when he will.
I have a job offer in Spain. If you come with me -
If Collier's right, if moving into this new world of his
means more upheaval in the here and now,
I'm gonna find myself a place
where I can live at peace with my daughter as long as I can.
Alana's picture's gone out to every hospital and law enforcement agency.
Nobody's seen her, Tom. I'm sorry.
Hey. Kyle.
You ready? Come on, buddy. It's starting soon.
You think I'd be late for this?
- I'm as psyched as you are, Dad. - Good. Let's do it then.
Tom.
- I saved you some seats. - Sorry.
- Hey, Tom. - Hey, Maia.
- You look nice. - Thank you.
- Hey, Tom. - You were late, so I held things up.
Yeah.
- Hey, guys. - Hey, how are you doing?
- Hey, how are you? - Hi.
- Hi, Tess. Hi, honey. - It's good to see you.
- Kevin. - How are you?
I thought you'd never make it.
Well, I had a little help.
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate the applause, even though I know who it's really for.
We're all here to give thanks to one man.
A man who took a dark and dangerous world and healed it.
A man who eliminated disease and war,
and changed our ideas of what it is to be a human being.
He made 4400 abilities available to everyone
and all of our lives are better for it.
Some call him a saviour. Some call him a messiah.
He's all that and more. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jordan Collier.
Today, this morning,
here and everywhere,
it is good to be alive.
United like humanity has never been united.
Through promicin, the gift I brought you and that you accepted.
Together we have created heaven on Earth.
A time of joy, endless joy
that we share as one.
And for that,
I say let us bow our heads in thanks.
Jordan?
Jordan.
It's okay. It was a dream.
You were dreaming. Again.
What was it about this time?
I--
I handed out the promicin.
I stopped the catastrophe.
Well,
it's the right thing to do.
We saved the future for-
I know what kind of world I prevented.
But is the world I created any better?
More, please.
That is so disgusting.
You said you wouldn't do that in front of me anymore. It's gross.
It's not disgusting. It's love.
And one day you'll understand.
So, Mommy, when are you gonna tell us?
- Tell us what? - Mommy got the job offer.
The job with the European Union me through?
She'll be advising them on all things 4400.
They said we could live anywhere in the EU.
The benefit package is unbelievable.
Wow, okay. Is there anything the job doesn't come with?
Yeah. A gun.
Which makes it just about perfect.
If I take this, that means that we're not just on vacation anymore.
I mean, we have to settle down somewhere.
So how about it?
Is everyone ready to put down some roots?
Kyle.
- Hey, Dad. - When did you get back into town?
- Why didn't you call me? - Honestly?
The way things left off, I wasn't sure you wanted to hear from me.
Kyle, you said you wanted some distance.
I was trying to respect that.
But you should know,
you can talk to me anytime.
I start this new job tomorrow.
It's a legal aid thing. Helping out the 4400.
I was gonna get a hotel, you know, while I looked for an apartment.
But it just seemed kind of stupid, you being here all by yourself,
you know? Still no word on Alana?
No.
- I could use some company. - Yeah.
I'm sorry she's gone, Dad.
I really liked her.
And she loved you.
I know.
I--
I keep hoping that I'll come home someday
and she's just gonna be here.
I'm gonna go unpack. Is that all right? I wanna go see Shawn later.
Kyle.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
The good news is I'm not dead.
I took the shot three days ago and I'm still here.
The bad news? I can't blow things up with my mind,
or fly, or do anything differently at all.
I'm still just me. Graham, a.k.a. no one.
Okay, so I kind of want to go to the prom with Jeff.
- Because I was thinking- - Amber.
- You know- - Amber.
He's such a stupid kid.
All right, guys. Get in here. Time to pick teams.
Come on, move it. Line up over here, guys.
Come on, man. You're always the last one. Hurry up.
I'll take...
...Graham. I want Graham.
Me?
Wait a minute. I'm taking Graham.
Guys, come on. Stop messing with me.
Everyone knows I suck at basketball.
Listen up.
If Graham doesn't wanna shoot hoops, then hoops is off the menu.
How about it, Graham? What do you wanna play?
You- You're serious?
Absolutely. We can play whatever you want.
Just tell us what to do.
- Thumb wrestling? - All right.
Thumb wrestling it is.
And pair up. You two over here. Come on. Come on! Move it!
You two guys over here. Mike, you and Billy over here.
What's going on?
Say hello to the new head of NTAC.
I don't get it.
Woman doesn't have a single day of law-enforcement experience.
She works in a think tank for a few years,
so they give her a gun and a badge, tell her to play sheriff?
I heard she managed the flow of refugees
after the hurricanes in Texas. And did a good job of it too.
She's a political appointment.
Smiled at the fight person at some cocktail party
so they passed over all the qualified people.
Oh, and Tom?
She said she wanted to see you as soon as you got in.
- Hi. I'm- - Tom Baldwin.
I know. Meghan Doyle.
- Hi. - Does that look straight to you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. It looks good.
- You must like subtitles. - Have you ever seen La Dolce Vita?
Honestly, no.
I'm getting the distinct impression no one else around here has either.
But that's okay. You should check it out, though.
- Okay, I'll do that. - Relax, Tom.
It's not homework.
Please, come sit down.
There's something I want you to see.
Something to get us off on the right foot.
Open it. It's interesting.
- I'm not cleared to read this. - Of course.
But I've read your file.
You don't seem like the kind of agent who'd let that bother you.
Go ahead.
I won't tell if you won't.
This is about Isabelle Tyler. Why are you showing me this?
She can have visitors now.
I figured you might wanna see her.
I know you've been looking for Alana Mareva for three months.
I also know that you're at a dead end.
You must've considered the possibility that she was abducted again.
Of course. People don't just fall off the edge of the planet.
Isabelle Tyler is the one person alive
with a tangible connection to the future.
If they did take Alana, maybe Isabelle will be able to tell you something.
You sure this isn't gonna blow back on you? You just started.
- I don't wanna get you in trouble. - If I succeed in this job,
if I bring in Jordan Collier,
no one's gonna mind if a few rules are broken along the way.
And if I don't,
no amount of toeing the line will save me.
I appreciate this. Thanks.
You know those posters?
If you have a taste for foreign films, people think you're intellectual
or a radical. The truth is I just like the movies.
You sure you don't like that they make people uncomfortable?
Maybe that too.
Hey, buddy. Can you hear me?
Hey.
My dad says when I was in a coma, he used to talk to me all the time.
I don't remember any of it, but who knows? Maybe it helped.
I wish there was something I could do for you.
I tried.
Three months ago I took the shot.
I was so scared but I just did it anyway.
I was thinking maybe I could wake you up,
same as you did for me.
Wanna hear the punch line? Nothing happened.
Three months, no ability, nothing. I mean nothing.
Nothing's changed at all really.
That's weird, huh?
I tried.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
Excuse me?
Are you lost?
Help me. Help me.
There are dead people everywhere I go.
They hate me.
I made them dead.
We made them dead.
Tess, we gave them a choice.
We didn't force the shots on anyone.
Tess,
I want you to take your medication.
All right? It'll make you feel better.
Come on. Come on.
Kevin.
She'll calm down once she's had her pills.
Is that your medical opinion?
Tess is schizophrenic.
The strain of hiding out, the guilt over what we did, she can't handle it.
It's caused a break. She needs medical care
- beyond what we can provide. - Till I find a doctor sympathetic to us,
you'll have to administer her medications yourself.
Just remember,
Tess' ability is what keeps you safe.
If it wasn't for her, you'd have been arrested a long time ago.
And I promise you, I don't re if the fate of the world is at stake.
I will not sacrifice Tess to you.
Or your cause.
Our cause, Kevin.
Ours.
Hey, guys. What's up?
All of us were talking.
And we just want you to know,
we're with you. All of us.
We believe.
- In what? - In you.
We're not the only ones.
We brought someone.
Oh, my God.
Amber?
What are you doing here?
I came to be with you.
What the hell is going-?
Whoa, Amber. Wait a minute.
You know those shots you always hear about on the news?
I took them.
I think maybe it's screwing you guys up.
No, Graham. It's you.
We wanna be close to you.
We wanna be close to the light.
- What light? - The one that shines out of you.
I didn't see it until today.
But now I do.
It's beautiful.
You're beautiful.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
They told you to kill me.
You didn't do it.
Did you ever think maybe that's why your girlfriend's gone?
- It's your punishment. - Is that something you think?
Or is that something you know?
Hows Shawn?
Any change?
No. He's in a regular hospital now. Long-term care.
What about my father? Has anybody heard from him?
No. He's on our list, and we'll find him.
Now, Isabelle, if you know anything about Alana, please, tell me.
Just tell me, please.
You wanna have hope, don't you?
You wanna believe she's coming back.
Of course.
Then you don't wanna know what I know.
I'm sorry, Tom. I really am, but they used you.
The same way they used me.
Hey, Diana.
It's me. Marco.
- Are you having a good time in Spain? - Yeah, hey, Marco.
Yeah. No, everything's good.
- Are you okay? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
Something came up, though.
A couple days ago,
some agents raided an apartment. There was a lot of promicin there.
One of the guys they brought in gave up a whole bunch of names,
you know, People they'd given syringes to.
Okay, so, what is it you wanna tell me, Marco?
One of the names was April Skouris.
My sister took the shots?
The guy didn't know if she injected them
but she definitely had them.
- Have you heard from her? - No,
I haven't heard from her in months. She didn't II me on my birthday
but I figured, April, you know?
Yeah, I remember.
Look, I'm sorry, Di.
I just- You know, I thought you should know.
I appreciate it.
Thanks.
Bye.
You're going back to Seattle,
aren't you?
That used to be a statue of our namesake.
Last night, a dozen students tore it down and put that thing up.
When we asked them why, they said it was a statue of Graham Holt.
Who's Graham Holt?
He's a junior.
C student. Basically unremarkable in every way.
So this kid pulls a prank and you call NTAC?
I called NTAC because I think maybe this kid took some of those shots.
I mean, what's going on around here isn't normal, the posters, the statue.
Last night our Valedictorian revised her application essay to Stanford.
She read it to her guidance counsellor this morning.
It's 500 words on how Graham Holt is the most important spiritual leader
since the time of Christ.
I called him into my office earlier this morning.
He claims to have no idea about what's going on.
I think we need to meet this Graham Holt.
From now on everyone's favourite band is TV on the Radio. You got that?
TV on the Radio.
- They're the best band out there. - Excuse me.
Excuse me, Graham. These gentlemen would like to have a word with you.
I'm Agent Baldwin. This is Agent Garrity. We work at NTAC.
We're gonna have to ask you to come with us.
We're gonna bring you in to NTAC and give you a test
to see if you're promicin positive.
- Why? - Look around you, Graham.
- I think you know why. - Do I have a choice?
You have a choice whether or not you do it in handcuffs.
If you haven't taken the shot, you don't have to worry. Come on.
You're sitting in my spot.
I didn't realise these benches were assigned.
Well, they are.
Literally.
I'm in my first year at the institute.
Art and Design.
I'm supposed to do a charcoal sketch of a view from the park
every day for seven days. You're in my spot.
Okay. I'll move.
- I'll move. - Thanks, Kyle. I appreciate that.
How do you know my name?
Honestly?
I recognised you as soon as I walked up.
I read a lot about the 4400.
Which means I read a lot about you.
So you know all about me and Jordan Collier, huh?
Yeah, I do. Kind of hard to avoid.
Well, you know it wasn't me who shot him, right? Not really me.
I didn't really believe it was you.
You didn't look like a killer to me.
Well, I guess that's a kind of compliment. Thank you.
I have to get back to work but good luck with your assignment.
Cassie Dunleavy.
Maybe I'll see you around.
I'll be here for the next seven days.
It seems to me there's a very simple explanation for what's going on
at Stevenson High. This kid, Graham, took the promicin shot.
And new everyone who meets him thinks he's God.
Come on. I've heard you tend to move directly to the point, Marco.
- But, really? God? - Well, obviously, he's not "the God."
At best, he's a god. A minor deity.
Whatever. These kids are building effigies of him.
They're willing to fight us to protect him.
Sounds like worship to me. You guys are lucky you weren't turned.
Seems like you only need minutes around Graham
- before you find religion. - Maybe they're unlucky.
Absolute devotion is a rarity in the modern age.
It might bring a sense of purpose to life.
- A clarity. - Guys, what do we do with this kid?
I'm going back with more people. We isolate him.
- Hope the effects wear off. - Yeah, but I'd do it fast.
It sounds like Graham's pretty much focused on being king of the school.
I mean, imagine what happens if he learns to think a little more ambitiously.
What the hell is that?
Are you here to give yourselves, body and soul, to Graham Holt?
Not exactly.
Then I suggest you leave.
These streets are his.
And we'll defend them with our lives.
You just take your men around that way.
This is me. Graham.
- What do you want? - I want you to end this, Graham.
If you don't come out, people will get hurt.
- Is that what you want? - No. Of course not.
These people are just trying to protect me.
You're forcing them to be here. You've taken away their free will.
- Their lives are in your hands. - I understand.
I don't want anything bad to happen to them either.
But you just need to give me some time.
Like, a night to figure this out, okay?
One night
I just bought us some time.
We've got planning to do.
Hey.
Try not to look so gloomy, okay?
And who knows?
She might not even be able to get into Seattle.
She'll be fight back here in a couple hours.
She's never coming back here.
She said she is, Maia.
And I really need to believe that.
So, Kyle, tell me.
Do you ever go visit your cousin Shawn?
There hasn't been much in the paper about him lately.
- Is he getting any better? - No, he's not.
Which is weird because there's no reason why he shouldn't be awake.
His brain's active. His vital signs are okay.
That's so sad.
- He seemed like a really good guy. - Everyone has just given up.
Settling in for the long haul.
Didn't I read something about the promicin in his system?
- Doctors think it's all out of whack? - That's right. They think that's why-
His body's shut down. But I don't think that made it into the papers.
Well, it must have. How else would I know about it?
Okay. I know I'm not a doctor,
but maybe someone should try injecting him with a big old dose of promicin.
It'd be like giving him a jumpstart, right?
Shawn's a 4400.
- Probably wouldn't hurt him. - Yeah, I've thought about that.
The doctors won't even consider it. Promicin is seriously illegal.
Too bad you can't get your hands on any.
You might be the only person in his life who cares enough
to actually take a shot at waking him up.
They've just been standing here, staring at us, for hours.
Don't they ever have to use the bathroom?
Heads up.
Don't shoot.
My name's Graham Holt. I wanna surrender.
It's about time. Hands up. Keep your hands up.
All right, on your knees.
Easy.
It's not him.
- It's not Holt. - Don't shoot.
- My name's Graham Holt. - On your knees. Now. On your knees.
Don't shoot.
- I'm Graham Holt. - I'm Graham Holt.
I'm Graham Holt.
- I'm Graham Holt. - I'm Graham Holt.
I'm Graham Holt.
Don't fight me. Join me.
Hey, everyone. My name is Graham Holt.
I just wanted to say, you have nothing to be afraid of.
Believing in me doesn't make you a different person.
You'll still love your family.
You'll still wake up in the morning and go do whatever it is you do.
You'll just have more purpose.
- And everyone will believe- - Tess.
--Exactly what you do. And you'll believe what they do.
Tess!
- It's gonna be very cool. I promise. - She's gone.
- Open up your hearts and let me in. - She left in the night.
Hey, everyone. My name is Graham Holt.
- Did you hear me? She's gone. - I just wanted to say...
Jordan. What are you doing?
We have to find her before someone picks her up.
You'll have to go without me.
What do you mean "go without you"?
- This is Tess. You owe her. - I did not give out promicin
to the world to have it unite under a 16-year-old boy.
--you'll believe what they do.
He has to be stopped.
It's all gonna be very cool. I promise.
I see.
You're having messiah-envy.
How are you gonna stop him, Jordan?
- My name is Graham Holt. - Anybody who gets near that kid
winds up praying to him. What makes you any different?
And even if you could get close to him, what do you expect to happen?
A miracle?
I guess I need one, don't I?
--you'll just have more purpose.
And everyone will believe exactly what you do.
And then, you'll believe what they do.
It's all gonna be very cool. I promise.
Are you guys nuts?
I'm an NTAC agent. We're on the same side.
Move, right now.
Hey, come on. Come on.
Guys. Guys.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
- They're arresting everybody at NTAC. - What are you talking about? Why?
Our orders are to bring you all downtown, sir.
Graham wants to bring NTAC into the fold.
Fine. Fine. Sounds good.
What choice do we have, huh?
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Graham converted a couple police stations.
The cops are arresting people, bringing them to him by the hundreds.
I'm the king of Seattle.
Why aren't you picking up the phone? It's dangerous outside fight now.
Now call me back.
- Still no word from your son? - No. What did D.C. say?
Nothing good. They're already talking about acceptable losses,
air strikes, sending an Army division into the city.
They'll invade an American city? Sounds like civil war.
I know. The best I could do is buy us a couple of hours.
- To do what? - We have to gather everyone
from NTAC that hasn't been converted. Make our way downtown.
Fight our way downtown, if we have to. We'll try and get close to Graham.
We'll see if we can get to him before he gets to us.
- Oh, God. Shawn. What happened? - I don't know. He was just lying there
and he started convulsing.
Shawn. Oh, my God.
Hey, come on. Hey, Shawn. Hey.
Hey, it's us. It's Kyle.
- Shawn. - Say something if you're okay.
Come on.
Mom?
How did I get here?
Mr. Collier, you did the fight thing coming to me.
It would have been a shame if I had to track you down.
It seems the world is falling at your feet.
- I wanted to see why. - Don't worry.
Soon it's all gonna make perfect sense to you.
No.
I gave you promicin.
I can take it away.
What happened?
What did you do to me?
I made you ordinary.
Shoot him. Shoot him now.
Justin. Mark.
The world doesn't need you anymore.
It has me.
Get on with your lives.
Graham shouldn't have converted so many cops.
One of his former followers arrested him on the steps of the courthouse.
And there's no trace of promicin in his system? Nothing?
No. He's just a high school kid with a lot to answer for.
I guess we can all stop wondering if Collier has an ability.
He can neutralise promicin.
I don't get it. Shawn never said anything about Collier doing that
to one of the original 4400.
Maybe it doesn't work on them.
Maybe he can only do it to the Extra Crispies.
Extra Crispies. You know, like, not the Original Recipe 4400.
People who took the promicin shot and then got an ability.
So Collier walked into what was essentially an occupied Seattle,
laid hands on this kid, and solved a problem
that had the entire U.S. government in a panic.
If I was home, watching this story on the 6:00 news,
you wanna know what I'd be thinking?
People were praying to the wrong guy.
Collier just posted a message on the Internet.
We all had a scare today. We'll have others before we're done.
We...
We are walking a difficult and a dangerous path
but we're walking it together.
Whether you've chosen to join me or not,
we're all, every one of us, making history now.
Tom. I got a call from the warden at Kurland Prison.
There's a message for you from Isabelle Tyler.
That's it? The Powell Museum?
She said your answer's there and you'll know it when you see it.
The time for sitting on the fence is over.
The time for greatness is now.
Each of you has a role to play.
Your only choice is whether you accept it or have it thrust upon you.
Promicin is out there.
People are gaining abilities and nothing can be done about that.
Sorry, sir. There's no student named Cassie Dunleavy registered here.
She told me she was a student here, okay?
I need to talk to her. I can't find her in the phone book anywhere.
Maybe she didn't give you her real name.
Have you thought of that?
The genie will not go back into the bottle.
I know it's tempting to mink that we can hold onto the past
and everything that's safe and easy.
But we cannot.
And safe and easy are what set us on the path to catastrophe
in the first place.
The chains of comfort are what keep us from reaching for a better world.
This new era. It's not coming. It's not on the way. it's here.
And we are now separated from our old lives
by a gulf that can never again be bridged.
So all of you out there
need to ask yourself one thing.
Are you ready?
