The 4400

The world will have to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400...

You're the alternative we need

to Collier and his promicin-pushing radicals.

Does that mean you'll run for city council?

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

I intend on attacking you right up 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 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.

Dead-eye sniper.

He did some work for our...

organization, 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 dialogue, this is horrendous.

- Marco, why are we watching this? - Just, shh...

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 favorite original recipe. - Before he disappeared,

Curtis wrote, directed, and starred in horror movies.

Real low-Budget stuff.

You know, the sets were mostly in his house.

The actors?

Pretty much just his friends and family.

Really? I never would have guessed.

After he came back,

Curtis kept on 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's 4400 ability. - Come on, guys,

you're not telling us that that movie...

tells us what really happened to president Kennedy?

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 want to think everything is a conspiracy,

and I'm sure that this guy is really appealing to them,

but, Marco, 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.

Don't think I could sit through another one of those movies.

We didn't ask you down here to tell you about his ability.

Curtis disappeared.

Nobody can find him.

About 10 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 emails.

I know, I know, no big deal, right?

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? - I 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!

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. All his video equipment is sitting here.

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' neighbor.

And... his collaborator.

I'm proud to say I've been in more of his movies

than anyone else.

- 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 want to break into his house?

Enemies?

Take your pick.

The CIA, the mafia...

the freemasons.

Curtis exposed a lot of people.

So you...

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 want to 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.

It's here.

Here.

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 going to change everything if I 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, something worse,...

it's much worse, and they're coming for me now.

Season 4 - Episode 06 The Marked

...consider the target dead.

Completely dead.

According to Curtis, Jimmy Hoffa was buried in the Florida everglades.

If you really 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 6 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 we found,

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 want to know what's out there that's bigger than Jordan Collier?

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

all I want to 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'd know something about Curtis' latest movie idea.
