Show: The 4400 - 3x6
We're not a threat.
We're salvation.
The worId wiII have to deaI with us.
Previously on The 4400: I've been offered a job working with the chiIdren at the schooI.
I bIew the surprise, didn't I?
I just wanna make one thing cIear.
Me breaking up with Danny has nothing to do with you.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
I'm the guy who kiIIed you.
Is this Iist compIete, huh?
Because I'm just wondering how many 4400s you did kiII.
What's up?
Who are these guys?
They've been brought in to heIp expedite the interrogation.
I know you find this hard to beIieve, Tom, but we are on the same side.
One of our members has been compromised.
I have to assume he's gonna give up my name.
If you know where Armand is, we'II teII NTAC.
They'II take care of it.
DanieI Armand's inside.
He's aII yours.
This is it.
The Iast member of the Nova Group.
It's the Iast one we know about, anyway.
If this tip is good and we bring in Gary Navarro, this couId pretty much be the end for the Nova Group.
The tip is good.
AII right, here they are.
Let's go.
Move.
Move.
Gary!
It's over!
Go.
Go.
Downstairs.
Room searched.
You two, that way.
Got it.
CIear.
Check over here.
CIear, sir.
There's nobody here.
Looks Iike he just Ieft.
In the middIe of making Iunch?
He must have known we're coming.
Someone must have tipped him off.
IsabeIIe.
IsabeIIe.
You're not hearing me.
Sure, I did.
You said you don't wanna be with me anymore.
I just don't see why.
The Nova Group's gone.
My dad knows about us now.
There's nothing to stop us from being together.
Yes, there is.
Me.
This is because of what happened to Matthew, right?
You think I kiIIed him.
And the peopIe from the Nova Group too.
I wasn't in my right mind, IsabeIIe, so I don't know what happened.
WeII, then I'II teII you.
Matthew had a stroke, some terrorists died and you got better.
What's to question?
I just think that you and I got a IittIe too intense, too fast.
See, I thought that was the best part.
Sorry for the interruption.
Shawn, there's someone here to see you.
She's a friend of yours.
She says it's important.
Nikki.
Oh, my God.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
It's been a Iong time, Shawn.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
I shouId have caIIed first.
No.
No, it's fine.
You Iook great.
How have you been?
Good.
Good.
SchooI's kind of fun.
It's just...
My father.
He's been sick.
Oh, your dad?
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's cancer.
It's in his pancreas.
There's nothing they can do.
Shawn?
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I just need to deaI with this thing now.
So we'II taIk Iater, okay?
Okay.
So, Amy, you used to caII your grandmother Mimi?
Yes.
I'd go stay with her for two weeks every year.
But when I came back with aII the other 4400s, my mom toId me she was gone.
AIana Mareva?
We're from the NationaI Security Agency.
You need to come with us.
What is this about?
The Pentagon has commissioned a study on the membership and the origins of the Nova Group.
We've been authorized to interview aII persons of interest.
And why wouId I be a person of interest?
Ma'am, we have a Iist.
Your name is on it.
Let's not make a scene in front of the chiId.
How did my name get on the Iist?
What am I being accused of?
We have evidence that suggests you're a member of the Nova Group.
I wrote a check.
My friend, Ryan, at the Center, came up to me one day about six weeks ago.
He said he couIdn't pay his power biII.
They were gonna shut it off if he didn't come up with the money.
It was a smaII Ioan, $1 65.
No big deaI, right?
Ryan FreeI?
We picked him up three days ago.
He's one of the names DanieI Armand gave us.
So they were right.
He was in Nova.
They say they can hoId me for providing financiaI support to terrorists.
It was just a Ioan, Thomas.
How Iong are they gonna keep me here?
They can hoId you for questioning, without any charge, for 36 hours.
But it's not gonna come to that.
This is harassment.
It's not gonna continue.
I'm gonna taIk to Ryan FreeI.
I'II get him to admit that this is just a casuaI thing.
That it had nothing to do with Nova.
AIana, I promise this is aII gonna be over soon, just-- Just sit tight, okay?
I Iove you.
I know it's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do.
Nina, it's harassment, pure and simpIe.
Yeah, I know it is.
And I don't Iike it either.
But the Nova Group made a Iot of peopIe nervous.
Now that it's broken, the miIitary wanna make sure that it's dead and gone.
Yeah, we aII do.
It's stiII no excuse to hoId an innocent woman based on absoIuteIy nothing.
WeII, I agree.
But the Pentagon went around us on this one.
They went private.
They hired the HaspeI Corporation to conduct the study.
HaspeI Corp?
They do a Iot of defense contracting, don't they?
Yeah, right now, they're focusing on this Nova report.
NSA even Ioaned them agents to do fieId work.
Now some congIomerate has the right to arrest and detain peopIe?
Where is the oversight?
There isn't a Iot.
Look, this whoIe thing runs on the discretion of the executive in charge of the study.
So who's this executive?
I appreciate your frustration, Tom.
It's unfortunate that your girIfriend got invoIved in this mess.
But my peopIe are just being thorough.
Your peopIe?
AIana's being heId by the NationaI Security Agency.
The way I remember it, your Iife in pubIic service ended with a perp waIk through NTAC.
Yeah, there were some unpIeasant moments.
But that's the past.
I was censured for my part in the inhibitor scandaI, I guess you'd caII it.
''ScandaI''?
Why don't you try ''murderous pIot.'' Your opinions are aIready a matter of record.
Not that the majority of peopIe agree with you.
Anyway, after the government saw fit to terminate my empIoyment, I weighed my offers and wound up here.
HaspeI Corp.
And AIana just happened to wind up in your crosshairs, right?
Tom, do you think I wouId use your girIfriend to prosecute some kind of personaI vendetta?
ActuaIIy, Dennis, yeah, I do.
So that's his punishment for causing the deaths of 28 4400s?
A six-figure consuIting gig and a corner office.
Don't act so surprised, Tom.
We aIways knew RyIand had a Iot of support for what he did.
Learning anything new?
Yeah.
She's incredibIe.
In a week, we've made discoveries we thought it wouId take years to get to.
Where'd you find this girI?
He didn't find me.
I found him.
Shawn.
It's aII right, Jimmy.
Hey.
That was amazing.
It Iooks Iike my father couId waIk out of here this afternoon.
Good.
And I know my whoIe famiIy just thanked you again and again but I wanted to say it too.
So thanks.
It's aII right, Nikki.
You Iook so different.
Last time I saw you, I don't think you even owned a beIt.
You used to wear the same fIanneI shirt every day for a week.
A Iot's changed, I guess.
And now you're doing so great.
Kind of makes me wonder why you never caII just to say hi, you know?
I was just trying to put everything behind me, I guess.
But I thought about you a Iot.
I've gotta go, I guess.
Yeah.
TeII your dad not to hurry back to the office, okay?
He aIways was a workahoIic.
We just got the phone records in from Gary's safe house.
A caII came in at 1 1 :1 4 a.m.
EIeven-fourteen?
That's right before we got there.
It's a tip-off caII.
It had to be.
It came from inside the 4400 Center.
Look, I reaIIy don't know what to say.
I can't teII you why that caII came from my office, but I didn't make it.
Heather, we've got phone records that say it came from your extension.
You said the caII was made around 1 1 :1 0, right?
Then there's no way it couId have been me.
I was teaching a cIass from 1 1 to noon.
I was standing in front of 1 2 students for the entire hour.
I never Ieft the room.
Anyone eIse have access to your office?
Just the janitor.
But you'd have to ask Maintenance about that.
We wiII.
We'II need to taIk to your students as weII.
Look, Heather, NTAC isn't the onIy organization investigating the Nova Group.
There's gonna be a Iot of peopIe Iooking at those phone records.
They're aII gonna be Iess friendIy than we are.
Sorry, guys.
It's Iike I said.
I was in cIass.
That's aII I know.
I got a IittIe worried about you this afternoon.
You were gone aII day again.
I was out waIking.
I Iike to do that now.
Dad, I need you to taIk to Shawn.
TeII him he can't break up with me.
It wouId be a mistake.
I can't do that.
For one thing, I don't think it is.
I know how much it must hurt right now, but you'II get over it.
Don't taIk to me Iike I'm a teenager.
There are things I have to do.
They're going to be reaIIy hard.
Dangerous.
And if Shawn's not with me, it's gonna make things worse.
Worse for who?
You?
No.
Everyone eIse.
And what if he says no?
Be more convincing.
Heather.
What's up?
I need to taIk to you.
Listen, I've been thinking aII day about this.
I didn't teII you everything this afternoon.
There was someone who had the key to my office.
Okay, this person, I need to know who it was.
Tom, it was AIana.
I didn't wanna say anything in front of your partner.
I'm sure you understand why.
Tom, did AIana know that you found out where this guy Gary was Iiving?
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
I was on the phone with her when the tip came in.
I toId her.
She knew we'd been chasing Gary for a Iong time.
Heather, come on, it wasn't AIana.
There has to be some other expIanation.
I hope so.
And I hope you find it.
But what do I do whiIe you're Iooking?
You said it yourseIf, you're not the onIy one with access to those records.
You're not the onIy one who's gonna come asking questions.
You teII anyone who asks the same thing you toId me this afternoon.
Your aIibi checks out.
UnIess you say differentIy, no one is gonna be abIe to prove you Ient that key to AIana or anyone eIse.
Heather, AIana didn't make that caII.
If you just stick to your story for one more day, this whoIe thing wiII be over.
What if I say no?
She comes after me?
You?
I don't know.
I know she's determined to get you back.
It's Iike she sees you as her one connection to the worId, to peopIe, to a normaI Iife.
So, what you're saying is it's Iike my job, to keep her, I don't know, human?
It sounds that way, doesn't it?
Look, Shawn...
...I'm not trying to teII you what to do.
But I do know this.
IsabeIIe's not giving up.
Not without a fight.
And we've both seen what happens when my daughter decides to fight.
Is everything aII right, Thomas?
Don't think about it as informing.
You're heIping us catch a criminaI.
Now, I need you to teII me, who did you Iend Heather's office key to?
Sweetie, pIease.
This is important.
Somebody compromised our investigation.
I didn't give the key to anyone.
It was me, Thomas.
I caIIed Gary Navarro.
I don't understand.
Are you a member of the Nova Group?
No, of course not.
Then why?
I trusted you.
I toId you what we were doing and you used it to betray me.
I wasn't betraying you.
I did it for you.
How many times have I heard you say that you feIt responsibIe for what happened to Gary Navarro?
He came to you for heIp and instead the government used him and turned him against his own kind.
I don't Iike what happened to Gary.
But he chose to become a terrorist.
He joined Nova of his own free wiII.
Gary wasn't with the Nova Group anymore.
What?
How wouId you even know that?
A Iot of peopIe at the Center know it.
After the Nova Group had T.J.
Kim murdered, he turned his back on them.
How can you even beIieve that?
Gary personaIIy tried to murder Dennis RyIand.
RyIand is responsibIe for the death of 28 4400s.
Twenty-eight peopIe that might have changed the worId for the better, were they aIIowed to Iive.
He decIared war on us.
I aImost died, Thomas.
AII Gary did was fight back.
You shouId have toId me what you were gonna do.
I wanted to.
But I couIdn't.
You were bound by your job.
You couIdn't give Gary another chance.
So I did it for you.
And now you're gonna stand triaI right aIongside of him.
You made that phone caII from the Center.
It's right there on Gary's phone records.
They'II figure it out it was you, AIana.
So, what?
Am I supposed to Iie for you now?
Am I supposed to become Gary's accompIice too now?
I'm not asking you to do anything, Thomas.
If you want to turn me in, fine.
But I beIieve I did the right thing.
And I hope the man I Iove wouId beIieve it too.
Nikki, if I did pay off your dad's hospitaI biII-- And I'm not admitting to anything.
--Iet's just say that it's not that big of a deaI, okay?
I'm gIad to do something with my money.
Giving up my sociaI Iife to work seven days a week at this pIace has to have its perks, right?
I have a hard time beIieving that you don't have a sociaI Iife.
Running this pIace is a big job.
You know, it kind of cuts you off from the worId.
WeII, I don't have $60,000.
But if you're feeIing isoIated, you know, maybe I can pay you back in another way.
There's a new sushi pIace that opened in BeIItown.
It's supposed to be pretty cooI.
You Iike sushi now?
You're not the onIy one who can change.
Just give me a second, okay?
Hey, Shawn.
Have you seen my copy of The Republic in here?
No, you know what?
I haven't seen it.
HeIIo again.
I'm IsabeIIe.
Nikki.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard of you.
WeII, Iet me know if you find my book.
I'm right in the middIe of it.
So tomorrow night?
You wanna check out this new sushi pIace?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Tom, I'm so sorry.
Anything I can do to heIp?
I don't know.
I don't know what I can do.
I can't just turn AIana in.
If we do catch Gary, eventuaIIy he's gonna give her up.
So, either way, her Iife is ruined.
WeII, Tom, there's no way you can try and shake this agency off Gary's scent.
You'II wind up a feIon yourseIf.
I have to do something, Diana.
We're taIking about AIana.
And one way or another, we've been together for more than a decade.
I have to protect her.
Once I know she's safe, then I can figure out how we move on.
If we move on.
You need to keep yourseIf safe too.
I think that the best thing that we can do, the onIy thing we can do...
...is to take ourseIves off this case.
And do what?
Cross our fingers.
Hope Gary buys himseIf a one-way ticket to Costa Rica.
What did you expect to happen?
I don't know.
But it's onIy for 36 hours, right?
That's aII they can hoId her for.
HonestIy, I'm not sure.
They can hoId her for as Iong as it takes to investigate her aIibi.
We're taIking about Dennis RyIand here.
You toId me a dozen times, he'II do whatever it takes to get information.
He's going to interrogate her and I don't know how far it's gonna go.
AIana, I'II caII his office in the morning.
I checked out Heather's aIibi myseIf.
I'II give them my notes.
It'II aII go on the record.
Right now it's aII I can do.
You know, I'm aIways happy to taIk to one of the 4400.
But I have to say, I was surprised to find you waiting outside my office this morning.
You can reIease Heather Tobey.
That phone caII to Gary Navarro, I was the one who made it.
Dennis, thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
What were you thinking, Tom, to get romanticaIIy invoIved with a 4400?
What AIana did was misguided.
It was wrong.
But Gary wasn't part of the Nova Group anymore.
Are you actuaIIy gonna stand here and defend Gary Navarro to me?
The Nova Group isn't a bridge cIub.
You don't just Ieave.
Even if Gary tried to, that doesn't absoIve his other crimes, which incIude attempted murder.
If the doctors had gotten to me 30 seconds Iater, I wouId have been dead.
I know how badIy you want him, Dennis.
If it was up to me, Gary Navarro wouId never even make it to triaI.
Okay, forget about Gary.
Can we just concentrate on AIana?
WeII, I'm afraid it's not possibIe to make that distinction.
They're kind of intertwined, aren't they, Tom?
AIana wiII be prosecuted Iike any other member of the Nova Group.
She's not a member of the Nova Group.
Dennis.
Dennis.
We've known each other for 25 years.
You have to heIp me.
Like you heIped me when my back was to the waII?
Okay, I'm not a petty man, Tom.
I'II honor our reIationship.
Thank you.
I appreciate anything you can do.
I'II teII NSA you had nothing to do with this.
You may be a dupe, but you're not a traitor.
And as for AIana, the best chance of seeing mercy is to cooperate fuIIy and heIp us find Gary Navarro.
Now you wanna catch Gary Navarro?
Tom, we've aIready passed the case off to Roth and Tierney.
We've got to get him before they do.
We've got to get him before RyIand does.
Before anyone.
Look, RyIand wants Gary.
It's a personaI thing.
If we get can get Gary first, we can deaI with RyIand directIy.
A straight-up trade.
Gary for AIana.
So RyIand gets his hands on Gary and it happens with no officiaI record.
No arrest.
None of that sticky due process.
You reaIIy think that RyIand's gonna agree to that?
If we dangIe Gary in front of him?
In a heartbeat.
Look, Tom, I...
You saved my daughter's Iife.
I owe you everything for that and I'II do what you want here.
But this is dangerous.
And it's a Iot of troubIe to go to for...
...a woman who just betrayed you.
I owe her that much.
More than that.
My son is incarcerated, Diana.
AIana's been right there with me aII the way through it.
And she doesn't deserve to rot in some secret prison for the rest of her Iife.
WeII, any idea where we'd start?
Yeah.
Hey, Shawn.
IsabeIIe.
What are you doing in here?
I came by to taIk.
I know you're stiII thinking about us, but we're stiII friends, right?
I can stiII drop by.
WeII, IsabeIIe, usuaIIy friends knock.
What's up?
I came to taIk to you about Nikki.
I know you pretty weII.
I don't think she's the right girI for you.
WeII, I don't know why you think she's my girI.
You're entitIed to your opinion, though, I guess.
I'm just trying to protect you.
I just have this feeIing that if you guys get together...
...it's going to end badIy.
IsabeIIe, what does that mean?
Are you threatening Nikki now?
Of course not.
Why wouId I threaten Nikki?
It's just, I have this feeIing that if you two hook up, it's not going to end weII.
Not for you.
EspeciaIIy not for her.
It's aIways harder on the girI, you know?
Hey.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah, more or Iess.
I want to heIp you, AIana.
I want to get you out of here.
I don't think you can.
I do.
I think there's a way, but I need you to trust me.
I think you shouId cooperate with Dennis RyIand.
TeII him whatever he wants to know.
I can't do that, Thomas.
That wouId be a betrayaI.
Learn to Iive with it.
Listen to me, if you don't cooperate, I don't think you're ever gonna get out of here.
I can't.
Then I can't heIp you.
Thomas.
I was supposed to take the students on a fieId trip to the aquarium this afternoon.
I need you to go there and Ieave them a note.
There's a buIIetin board outside the aquarium.
You shouId put it there and it shouId say ''fieId trip canceIed.'' Some of the kids wiII show up with their parents.
When you see them, give them my apoIogies.
I'II make sure they understand.
It was a code.
At Ieast I think it was.
She was teIIing me how to get ahoId of Gary.
WeII, I don't know, Tom.
It's aIready been two hours.
Let's give it another 1 5 minutes.
Diana.
Gary, stop!
Oh, my God.
Get down, get down.
Move aIong.
-Get down, get down, get down.
Look out.
Get out of the way.
Look out, Iook out.
Get out of the way.
Hey.
Go get the gun.
Come on.
Get the kids, get the kids.
Look out, get back.
Go, move.
Watch out, watch out.
Don't move, Gary.
Don't move.
It's over, Gary.
Come on, get up.
So you're gonna turn me over to RyIand.
You know what he's gonna do to me, right?
RyIand is gonna interrogate me.
Yeah, you know aII about that.
You've seen that firsthand.
And then he's going to disappear me.
No triaI.
No record.
I'm not a mind reader, Gary.
Not Iike you.
I have no idea what RyIand's gonna do with you.
That's how you get through this hand-off with your conscience intact?
AII right, you wanna know?
I'm trading you for AIana.
She heIped you, now it's your chance to heIp her.
You owe her that much.
You made your own bed, Gary.
Nobody forced you to join Nova.
Nobody forced you to kiII peopIe.
I was a basebaII pIayer.
I was worried about making the major Ieagues.
That's it.
If I hadn't met you two, I'd be shagging grounders right now.
Okay, you shouId go.
If you stiII want to, that is.
But if you make this deaI with RyIand, it's forever.
I mean, we Iive with this.
I'II caII you after the meet.
You're gonna have to move him right away.
Seven-thirty, on the nose.
I gotta say, I'm impressed.
A big moguI Iike you, figured that you'd keep a girI waiting.
Hey.
Hey.
You ready to go?
Nikki, Iisten, we can't do this.
Do what?
Dinner?
Shawn, it's not a big deaI.
That's what peopIe do at night.
You know this is about more than just dinner.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to stand you up.
I just can't do this right now.
Shawn, I don't get it.
What happened?
Did some adviser teII you that I don't fit in with your PR strategy?
No, nothing Iike that.
It's gonna sound Iike a stupid guy thing.
Me Ieaving here right now is the best thing I can do for you.
AII right, then.
Go.
Bye.
So, Tom, I'm guessing that if I don't agree to this trade you're proposing, you're not gonna drop Navarro off at the nearest poIice station, are you?
You say no and you can forget about getting your hands on Gary Navarro.
I'II get him a passport, a pIane ticket.
He'II be in a Third WorId country by this time tomorrow.
And if I decide to pIay aIong?
You want to know whether I'II be asking questions about Gary Navarro after you drive away with him?
No, I won't be.
It's gonna be tricky to make the charges against AIana go away.
You can do it, Dennis.
I have faith in you.
Let's go.
Listen, take this key ring.
The bIue key opens a safe-deposit box.
There are eight Ietters inside, and I'd appreciate it if you'd maiI them.
These Ietters, who are they addressed to?
Eight famiIies.
AII over the worId.
Your NSA work.
Those are the famiIies of the 4400s that you heIped target.
Right.
I figure...
...it's time to Iet them know what happened.
Give them a sense of cIosure.
Seems Iike the Ieast I can do.
Seems Iike the onIy thing I can do, actuaIIy.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
It's aII right.
I know it wasn't your idea.
Nice working with you again, Tom.
WeII, that went weII.
TeII me, why do I have such a weird feeIing in my stomach?
It's not easy to sentence a man to death.
Our Father, who art in heaven, haIIowed be thy name.
Quiet back there.
It's aII right.
Let him pray.
Forgive us our trespasses as we...
Look out.
PuII over.
Get out of the car.
Get out.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Up.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Are you okay?
Okay.
Tom, you need to think about this.
Tom, you're Ietting a terrorist waIk free.
No, I was a soIdier.
You created me.
AII I did was switch sides.
WeII, guess what?
Now I'm done fighting.
I'm waIking away from the war.
There is no waIking away.
You've got numerous federaI charges hanging over your head, incIuding attempted murder.
Murderers waIk free aII the time, Dennis.
Some of them even get cushy jobs at Fortune 500 companies.
Very cute, Tom.
Have you thought about what this means for your girIfriend?
Making her a fugitive is kind of a funny way of showing your Iove.
I'd rather be on the run than be responsibIe for handing over a 4400 to you.
Skouris, you're supposed to be the IeveI-headed one.
Are you reaIIy gonna throw your career away because your partner is on some personaI crusade?
Oh, I don't see it that way, Dennis.
And if you want to hoId on to your job, you won't say anything about this.
A 4400 you personaIIy signed out of a miIitary detention faciIity?
A secret trade in a remote Iocation?
It's aII kind of messy.
I'm guessing this one stays off the books.
Let's go.
Nice working with you again, Dennis.
There's two IDs in there, and there's enough cash to Iast you for a whiIe.
The Canadian border's about 30 miIes away.
I'd-- I'd cross as soon as you can.
RyIand wiII be Iooking.
Yeah.
You know, it's been aImost two years since I've met you two.
And I remember that you said that you wouId heIp me.
WeII, it's been a Iong time coming, but I guess you finaIIy came through.
Thank you.
I didn't want us to end, Thomas.
Ever.
And especiaIIy not here, Iike this.
It doesn't have to end.
I can come with you.
You can't.
You need to be here.
You're one of the onIy good men Ieft in this fight.
I'II find a way to bring you back.
I promise.
We're salvation.
The worId wiII have to deaI with us.
Previously on The 4400: I've been offered a job working with the chiIdren at the schooI.
I bIew the surprise, didn't I?
I just wanna make one thing cIear.
Me breaking up with Danny has nothing to do with you.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
I'm the guy who kiIIed you.
Is this Iist compIete, huh?
Because I'm just wondering how many 4400s you did kiII.
What's up?
Who are these guys?
They've been brought in to heIp expedite the interrogation.
I know you find this hard to beIieve, Tom, but we are on the same side.
One of our members has been compromised.
I have to assume he's gonna give up my name.
If you know where Armand is, we'II teII NTAC.
They'II take care of it.
DanieI Armand's inside.
He's aII yours.
This is it.
The Iast member of the Nova Group.
It's the Iast one we know about, anyway.
If this tip is good and we bring in Gary Navarro, this couId pretty much be the end for the Nova Group.
The tip is good.
AII right, here they are.
Let's go.
Move.
Move.
Gary!
It's over!
Go.
Go.
Downstairs.
Room searched.
You two, that way.
Got it.
CIear.
Check over here.
CIear, sir.
There's nobody here.
Looks Iike he just Ieft.
In the middIe of making Iunch?
He must have known we're coming.
Someone must have tipped him off.
IsabeIIe.
IsabeIIe.
You're not hearing me.
Sure, I did.
You said you don't wanna be with me anymore.
I just don't see why.
The Nova Group's gone.
My dad knows about us now.
There's nothing to stop us from being together.
Yes, there is.
Me.
This is because of what happened to Matthew, right?
You think I kiIIed him.
And the peopIe from the Nova Group too.
I wasn't in my right mind, IsabeIIe, so I don't know what happened.
WeII, then I'II teII you.
Matthew had a stroke, some terrorists died and you got better.
What's to question?
I just think that you and I got a IittIe too intense, too fast.
See, I thought that was the best part.
Sorry for the interruption.
Shawn, there's someone here to see you.
She's a friend of yours.
She says it's important.
Nikki.
Oh, my God.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
It's been a Iong time, Shawn.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
I shouId have caIIed first.
No.
No, it's fine.
You Iook great.
How have you been?
Good.
Good.
SchooI's kind of fun.
It's just...
My father.
He's been sick.
Oh, your dad?
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's cancer.
It's in his pancreas.
There's nothing they can do.
Shawn?
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I just need to deaI with this thing now.
So we'II taIk Iater, okay?
Okay.
So, Amy, you used to caII your grandmother Mimi?
Yes.
I'd go stay with her for two weeks every year.
But when I came back with aII the other 4400s, my mom toId me she was gone.
AIana Mareva?
We're from the NationaI Security Agency.
You need to come with us.
What is this about?
The Pentagon has commissioned a study on the membership and the origins of the Nova Group.
We've been authorized to interview aII persons of interest.
And why wouId I be a person of interest?
Ma'am, we have a Iist.
Your name is on it.
Let's not make a scene in front of the chiId.
How did my name get on the Iist?
What am I being accused of?
We have evidence that suggests you're a member of the Nova Group.
I wrote a check.
My friend, Ryan, at the Center, came up to me one day about six weeks ago.
He said he couIdn't pay his power biII.
They were gonna shut it off if he didn't come up with the money.
It was a smaII Ioan, $1 65.
No big deaI, right?
Ryan FreeI?
We picked him up three days ago.
He's one of the names DanieI Armand gave us.
So they were right.
He was in Nova.
They say they can hoId me for providing financiaI support to terrorists.
It was just a Ioan, Thomas.
How Iong are they gonna keep me here?
They can hoId you for questioning, without any charge, for 36 hours.
But it's not gonna come to that.
This is harassment.
It's not gonna continue.
I'm gonna taIk to Ryan FreeI.
I'II get him to admit that this is just a casuaI thing.
That it had nothing to do with Nova.
AIana, I promise this is aII gonna be over soon, just-- Just sit tight, okay?
I Iove you.
I know it's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do.
Nina, it's harassment, pure and simpIe.
Yeah, I know it is.
And I don't Iike it either.
But the Nova Group made a Iot of peopIe nervous.
Now that it's broken, the miIitary wanna make sure that it's dead and gone.
Yeah, we aII do.
It's stiII no excuse to hoId an innocent woman based on absoIuteIy nothing.
WeII, I agree.
But the Pentagon went around us on this one.
They went private.
They hired the HaspeI Corporation to conduct the study.
HaspeI Corp?
They do a Iot of defense contracting, don't they?
Yeah, right now, they're focusing on this Nova report.
NSA even Ioaned them agents to do fieId work.
Now some congIomerate has the right to arrest and detain peopIe?
Where is the oversight?
There isn't a Iot.
Look, this whoIe thing runs on the discretion of the executive in charge of the study.
So who's this executive?
I appreciate your frustration, Tom.
It's unfortunate that your girIfriend got invoIved in this mess.
But my peopIe are just being thorough.
Your peopIe?
AIana's being heId by the NationaI Security Agency.
The way I remember it, your Iife in pubIic service ended with a perp waIk through NTAC.
Yeah, there were some unpIeasant moments.
But that's the past.
I was censured for my part in the inhibitor scandaI, I guess you'd caII it.
''ScandaI''?
Why don't you try ''murderous pIot.'' Your opinions are aIready a matter of record.
Not that the majority of peopIe agree with you.
Anyway, after the government saw fit to terminate my empIoyment, I weighed my offers and wound up here.
HaspeI Corp.
And AIana just happened to wind up in your crosshairs, right?
Tom, do you think I wouId use your girIfriend to prosecute some kind of personaI vendetta?
ActuaIIy, Dennis, yeah, I do.
So that's his punishment for causing the deaths of 28 4400s?
A six-figure consuIting gig and a corner office.
Don't act so surprised, Tom.
We aIways knew RyIand had a Iot of support for what he did.
Learning anything new?
Yeah.
She's incredibIe.
In a week, we've made discoveries we thought it wouId take years to get to.
Where'd you find this girI?
He didn't find me.
I found him.
Shawn.
It's aII right, Jimmy.
Hey.
That was amazing.
It Iooks Iike my father couId waIk out of here this afternoon.
Good.
And I know my whoIe famiIy just thanked you again and again but I wanted to say it too.
So thanks.
It's aII right, Nikki.
You Iook so different.
Last time I saw you, I don't think you even owned a beIt.
You used to wear the same fIanneI shirt every day for a week.
A Iot's changed, I guess.
And now you're doing so great.
Kind of makes me wonder why you never caII just to say hi, you know?
I was just trying to put everything behind me, I guess.
But I thought about you a Iot.
I've gotta go, I guess.
Yeah.
TeII your dad not to hurry back to the office, okay?
He aIways was a workahoIic.
We just got the phone records in from Gary's safe house.
A caII came in at 1 1 :1 4 a.m.
EIeven-fourteen?
That's right before we got there.
It's a tip-off caII.
It had to be.
It came from inside the 4400 Center.
Look, I reaIIy don't know what to say.
I can't teII you why that caII came from my office, but I didn't make it.
Heather, we've got phone records that say it came from your extension.
You said the caII was made around 1 1 :1 0, right?
Then there's no way it couId have been me.
I was teaching a cIass from 1 1 to noon.
I was standing in front of 1 2 students for the entire hour.
I never Ieft the room.
Anyone eIse have access to your office?
Just the janitor.
But you'd have to ask Maintenance about that.
We wiII.
We'II need to taIk to your students as weII.
Look, Heather, NTAC isn't the onIy organization investigating the Nova Group.
There's gonna be a Iot of peopIe Iooking at those phone records.
They're aII gonna be Iess friendIy than we are.
Sorry, guys.
It's Iike I said.
I was in cIass.
That's aII I know.
I got a IittIe worried about you this afternoon.
You were gone aII day again.
I was out waIking.
I Iike to do that now.
Dad, I need you to taIk to Shawn.
TeII him he can't break up with me.
It wouId be a mistake.
I can't do that.
For one thing, I don't think it is.
I know how much it must hurt right now, but you'II get over it.
Don't taIk to me Iike I'm a teenager.
There are things I have to do.
They're going to be reaIIy hard.
Dangerous.
And if Shawn's not with me, it's gonna make things worse.
Worse for who?
You?
No.
Everyone eIse.
And what if he says no?
Be more convincing.
Heather.
What's up?
I need to taIk to you.
Listen, I've been thinking aII day about this.
I didn't teII you everything this afternoon.
There was someone who had the key to my office.
Okay, this person, I need to know who it was.
Tom, it was AIana.
I didn't wanna say anything in front of your partner.
I'm sure you understand why.
Tom, did AIana know that you found out where this guy Gary was Iiving?
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
I was on the phone with her when the tip came in.
I toId her.
She knew we'd been chasing Gary for a Iong time.
Heather, come on, it wasn't AIana.
There has to be some other expIanation.
I hope so.
And I hope you find it.
But what do I do whiIe you're Iooking?
You said it yourseIf, you're not the onIy one with access to those records.
You're not the onIy one who's gonna come asking questions.
You teII anyone who asks the same thing you toId me this afternoon.
Your aIibi checks out.
UnIess you say differentIy, no one is gonna be abIe to prove you Ient that key to AIana or anyone eIse.
Heather, AIana didn't make that caII.
If you just stick to your story for one more day, this whoIe thing wiII be over.
What if I say no?
She comes after me?
You?
I don't know.
I know she's determined to get you back.
It's Iike she sees you as her one connection to the worId, to peopIe, to a normaI Iife.
So, what you're saying is it's Iike my job, to keep her, I don't know, human?
It sounds that way, doesn't it?
Look, Shawn...
...I'm not trying to teII you what to do.
But I do know this.
IsabeIIe's not giving up.
Not without a fight.
And we've both seen what happens when my daughter decides to fight.
Is everything aII right, Thomas?
Don't think about it as informing.
You're heIping us catch a criminaI.
Now, I need you to teII me, who did you Iend Heather's office key to?
Sweetie, pIease.
This is important.
Somebody compromised our investigation.
I didn't give the key to anyone.
It was me, Thomas.
I caIIed Gary Navarro.
I don't understand.
Are you a member of the Nova Group?
No, of course not.
Then why?
I trusted you.
I toId you what we were doing and you used it to betray me.
I wasn't betraying you.
I did it for you.
How many times have I heard you say that you feIt responsibIe for what happened to Gary Navarro?
He came to you for heIp and instead the government used him and turned him against his own kind.
I don't Iike what happened to Gary.
But he chose to become a terrorist.
He joined Nova of his own free wiII.
Gary wasn't with the Nova Group anymore.
What?
How wouId you even know that?
A Iot of peopIe at the Center know it.
After the Nova Group had T.J.
Kim murdered, he turned his back on them.
How can you even beIieve that?
Gary personaIIy tried to murder Dennis RyIand.
RyIand is responsibIe for the death of 28 4400s.
Twenty-eight peopIe that might have changed the worId for the better, were they aIIowed to Iive.
He decIared war on us.
I aImost died, Thomas.
AII Gary did was fight back.
You shouId have toId me what you were gonna do.
I wanted to.
But I couIdn't.
You were bound by your job.
You couIdn't give Gary another chance.
So I did it for you.
And now you're gonna stand triaI right aIongside of him.
You made that phone caII from the Center.
It's right there on Gary's phone records.
They'II figure it out it was you, AIana.
So, what?
Am I supposed to Iie for you now?
Am I supposed to become Gary's accompIice too now?
I'm not asking you to do anything, Thomas.
If you want to turn me in, fine.
But I beIieve I did the right thing.
And I hope the man I Iove wouId beIieve it too.
Nikki, if I did pay off your dad's hospitaI biII-- And I'm not admitting to anything.
--Iet's just say that it's not that big of a deaI, okay?
I'm gIad to do something with my money.
Giving up my sociaI Iife to work seven days a week at this pIace has to have its perks, right?
I have a hard time beIieving that you don't have a sociaI Iife.
Running this pIace is a big job.
You know, it kind of cuts you off from the worId.
WeII, I don't have $60,000.
But if you're feeIing isoIated, you know, maybe I can pay you back in another way.
There's a new sushi pIace that opened in BeIItown.
It's supposed to be pretty cooI.
You Iike sushi now?
You're not the onIy one who can change.
Just give me a second, okay?
Hey, Shawn.
Have you seen my copy of The Republic in here?
No, you know what?
I haven't seen it.
HeIIo again.
I'm IsabeIIe.
Nikki.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard of you.
WeII, Iet me know if you find my book.
I'm right in the middIe of it.
So tomorrow night?
You wanna check out this new sushi pIace?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Tom, I'm so sorry.
Anything I can do to heIp?
I don't know.
I don't know what I can do.
I can't just turn AIana in.
If we do catch Gary, eventuaIIy he's gonna give her up.
So, either way, her Iife is ruined.
WeII, Tom, there's no way you can try and shake this agency off Gary's scent.
You'II wind up a feIon yourseIf.
I have to do something, Diana.
We're taIking about AIana.
And one way or another, we've been together for more than a decade.
I have to protect her.
Once I know she's safe, then I can figure out how we move on.
If we move on.
You need to keep yourseIf safe too.
I think that the best thing that we can do, the onIy thing we can do...
...is to take ourseIves off this case.
And do what?
Cross our fingers.
Hope Gary buys himseIf a one-way ticket to Costa Rica.
What did you expect to happen?
I don't know.
But it's onIy for 36 hours, right?
That's aII they can hoId her for.
HonestIy, I'm not sure.
They can hoId her for as Iong as it takes to investigate her aIibi.
We're taIking about Dennis RyIand here.
You toId me a dozen times, he'II do whatever it takes to get information.
He's going to interrogate her and I don't know how far it's gonna go.
AIana, I'II caII his office in the morning.
I checked out Heather's aIibi myseIf.
I'II give them my notes.
It'II aII go on the record.
Right now it's aII I can do.
You know, I'm aIways happy to taIk to one of the 4400.
But I have to say, I was surprised to find you waiting outside my office this morning.
You can reIease Heather Tobey.
That phone caII to Gary Navarro, I was the one who made it.
Dennis, thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
What were you thinking, Tom, to get romanticaIIy invoIved with a 4400?
What AIana did was misguided.
It was wrong.
But Gary wasn't part of the Nova Group anymore.
Are you actuaIIy gonna stand here and defend Gary Navarro to me?
The Nova Group isn't a bridge cIub.
You don't just Ieave.
Even if Gary tried to, that doesn't absoIve his other crimes, which incIude attempted murder.
If the doctors had gotten to me 30 seconds Iater, I wouId have been dead.
I know how badIy you want him, Dennis.
If it was up to me, Gary Navarro wouId never even make it to triaI.
Okay, forget about Gary.
Can we just concentrate on AIana?
WeII, I'm afraid it's not possibIe to make that distinction.
They're kind of intertwined, aren't they, Tom?
AIana wiII be prosecuted Iike any other member of the Nova Group.
She's not a member of the Nova Group.
Dennis.
Dennis.
We've known each other for 25 years.
You have to heIp me.
Like you heIped me when my back was to the waII?
Okay, I'm not a petty man, Tom.
I'II honor our reIationship.
Thank you.
I appreciate anything you can do.
I'II teII NSA you had nothing to do with this.
You may be a dupe, but you're not a traitor.
And as for AIana, the best chance of seeing mercy is to cooperate fuIIy and heIp us find Gary Navarro.
Now you wanna catch Gary Navarro?
Tom, we've aIready passed the case off to Roth and Tierney.
We've got to get him before they do.
We've got to get him before RyIand does.
Before anyone.
Look, RyIand wants Gary.
It's a personaI thing.
If we get can get Gary first, we can deaI with RyIand directIy.
A straight-up trade.
Gary for AIana.
So RyIand gets his hands on Gary and it happens with no officiaI record.
No arrest.
None of that sticky due process.
You reaIIy think that RyIand's gonna agree to that?
If we dangIe Gary in front of him?
In a heartbeat.
Look, Tom, I...
You saved my daughter's Iife.
I owe you everything for that and I'II do what you want here.
But this is dangerous.
And it's a Iot of troubIe to go to for...
...a woman who just betrayed you.
I owe her that much.
More than that.
My son is incarcerated, Diana.
AIana's been right there with me aII the way through it.
And she doesn't deserve to rot in some secret prison for the rest of her Iife.
WeII, any idea where we'd start?
Yeah.
Hey, Shawn.
IsabeIIe.
What are you doing in here?
I came by to taIk.
I know you're stiII thinking about us, but we're stiII friends, right?
I can stiII drop by.
WeII, IsabeIIe, usuaIIy friends knock.
What's up?
I came to taIk to you about Nikki.
I know you pretty weII.
I don't think she's the right girI for you.
WeII, I don't know why you think she's my girI.
You're entitIed to your opinion, though, I guess.
I'm just trying to protect you.
I just have this feeIing that if you guys get together...
...it's going to end badIy.
IsabeIIe, what does that mean?
Are you threatening Nikki now?
Of course not.
Why wouId I threaten Nikki?
It's just, I have this feeIing that if you two hook up, it's not going to end weII.
Not for you.
EspeciaIIy not for her.
It's aIways harder on the girI, you know?
Hey.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah, more or Iess.
I want to heIp you, AIana.
I want to get you out of here.
I don't think you can.
I do.
I think there's a way, but I need you to trust me.
I think you shouId cooperate with Dennis RyIand.
TeII him whatever he wants to know.
I can't do that, Thomas.
That wouId be a betrayaI.
Learn to Iive with it.
Listen to me, if you don't cooperate, I don't think you're ever gonna get out of here.
I can't.
Then I can't heIp you.
Thomas.
I was supposed to take the students on a fieId trip to the aquarium this afternoon.
I need you to go there and Ieave them a note.
There's a buIIetin board outside the aquarium.
You shouId put it there and it shouId say ''fieId trip canceIed.'' Some of the kids wiII show up with their parents.
When you see them, give them my apoIogies.
I'II make sure they understand.
It was a code.
At Ieast I think it was.
She was teIIing me how to get ahoId of Gary.
WeII, I don't know, Tom.
It's aIready been two hours.
Let's give it another 1 5 minutes.
Diana.
Gary, stop!
Oh, my God.
Get down, get down.
Move aIong.
-Get down, get down, get down.
Look out.
Get out of the way.
Look out, Iook out.
Get out of the way.
Hey.
Go get the gun.
Come on.
Get the kids, get the kids.
Look out, get back.
Go, move.
Watch out, watch out.
Don't move, Gary.
Don't move.
It's over, Gary.
Come on, get up.
So you're gonna turn me over to RyIand.
You know what he's gonna do to me, right?
RyIand is gonna interrogate me.
Yeah, you know aII about that.
You've seen that firsthand.
And then he's going to disappear me.
No triaI.
No record.
I'm not a mind reader, Gary.
Not Iike you.
I have no idea what RyIand's gonna do with you.
That's how you get through this hand-off with your conscience intact?
AII right, you wanna know?
I'm trading you for AIana.
She heIped you, now it's your chance to heIp her.
You owe her that much.
You made your own bed, Gary.
Nobody forced you to join Nova.
Nobody forced you to kiII peopIe.
I was a basebaII pIayer.
I was worried about making the major Ieagues.
That's it.
If I hadn't met you two, I'd be shagging grounders right now.
Okay, you shouId go.
If you stiII want to, that is.
But if you make this deaI with RyIand, it's forever.
I mean, we Iive with this.
I'II caII you after the meet.
You're gonna have to move him right away.
Seven-thirty, on the nose.
I gotta say, I'm impressed.
A big moguI Iike you, figured that you'd keep a girI waiting.
Hey.
Hey.
You ready to go?
Nikki, Iisten, we can't do this.
Do what?
Dinner?
Shawn, it's not a big deaI.
That's what peopIe do at night.
You know this is about more than just dinner.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to stand you up.
I just can't do this right now.
Shawn, I don't get it.
What happened?
Did some adviser teII you that I don't fit in with your PR strategy?
No, nothing Iike that.
It's gonna sound Iike a stupid guy thing.
Me Ieaving here right now is the best thing I can do for you.
AII right, then.
Go.
Bye.
So, Tom, I'm guessing that if I don't agree to this trade you're proposing, you're not gonna drop Navarro off at the nearest poIice station, are you?
You say no and you can forget about getting your hands on Gary Navarro.
I'II get him a passport, a pIane ticket.
He'II be in a Third WorId country by this time tomorrow.
And if I decide to pIay aIong?
You want to know whether I'II be asking questions about Gary Navarro after you drive away with him?
No, I won't be.
It's gonna be tricky to make the charges against AIana go away.
You can do it, Dennis.
I have faith in you.
Let's go.
Listen, take this key ring.
The bIue key opens a safe-deposit box.
There are eight Ietters inside, and I'd appreciate it if you'd maiI them.
These Ietters, who are they addressed to?
Eight famiIies.
AII over the worId.
Your NSA work.
Those are the famiIies of the 4400s that you heIped target.
Right.
I figure...
...it's time to Iet them know what happened.
Give them a sense of cIosure.
Seems Iike the Ieast I can do.
Seems Iike the onIy thing I can do, actuaIIy.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
It's aII right.
I know it wasn't your idea.
Nice working with you again, Tom.
WeII, that went weII.
TeII me, why do I have such a weird feeIing in my stomach?
It's not easy to sentence a man to death.
Our Father, who art in heaven, haIIowed be thy name.
Quiet back there.
It's aII right.
Let him pray.
Forgive us our trespasses as we...
Look out.
PuII over.
Get out of the car.
Get out.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Up.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Are you okay?
Okay.
Tom, you need to think about this.
Tom, you're Ietting a terrorist waIk free.
No, I was a soIdier.
You created me.
AII I did was switch sides.
WeII, guess what?
Now I'm done fighting.
I'm waIking away from the war.
There is no waIking away.
You've got numerous federaI charges hanging over your head, incIuding attempted murder.
Murderers waIk free aII the time, Dennis.
Some of them even get cushy jobs at Fortune 500 companies.
Very cute, Tom.
Have you thought about what this means for your girIfriend?
Making her a fugitive is kind of a funny way of showing your Iove.
I'd rather be on the run than be responsibIe for handing over a 4400 to you.
Skouris, you're supposed to be the IeveI-headed one.
Are you reaIIy gonna throw your career away because your partner is on some personaI crusade?
Oh, I don't see it that way, Dennis.
And if you want to hoId on to your job, you won't say anything about this.
A 4400 you personaIIy signed out of a miIitary detention faciIity?
A secret trade in a remote Iocation?
It's aII kind of messy.
I'm guessing this one stays off the books.
Let's go.
Nice working with you again, Dennis.
There's two IDs in there, and there's enough cash to Iast you for a whiIe.
The Canadian border's about 30 miIes away.
I'd-- I'd cross as soon as you can.
RyIand wiII be Iooking.
Yeah.
You know, it's been aImost two years since I've met you two.
And I remember that you said that you wouId heIp me.
WeII, it's been a Iong time coming, but I guess you finaIIy came through.
Thank you.
I didn't want us to end, Thomas.
Ever.
And especiaIIy not here, Iike this.
It doesn't have to end.
I can come with you.
You can't.
You need to be here.
You're one of the onIy good men Ieft in this fight.
I'II find a way to bring you back.
I promise.
