The 4400

The world will have to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400...

- What the hell are you doing? - Diana's not quite herself right now.

She'll do whatever tess tells her to.

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.

I will not sacrifice Tess to you.

You made your choice, but you're my daughter.

If you quit this now, I'll stand by you.

Daddy?

What about my father? Has anybody heard from him?

They did something to me last night.

Those people who came into my room were dressed for an operation.

They put something into me.

Matthew Ross...

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

- Please tell me that you're still you. - I think so.

Sorry. I know it's late.

- I'm not interrupting anything, am I? - No, I was just...

Good, because I didn't know where else to go.

I was out with friends. The rep is doing a revival of "Arcadia".

You know that... Tom Stoppard play?

Anyway, when the show let out, I found this on my windshield.

Every car on the block had one.

So basically, if you want to be cool, take promicin.

Today on the news, I heard a story about two middle school kids

who took the shot. 12 years old.

Both died.

We're losing the war, Tom.

My God, thank you...

This one's my favorite.

Come on, everyone. Let's dance.

Hello. This is Shawn.

Shawn, it's Kevin Burkhoff.

Listen to me, I don't have much time.

It's tess, all right?

Her schizophrenia is out of control.

I have tried every combination of meds I can think of.

Nothing works.

So you have to help her. Or heal her.

Before she hurts someone.

Can you get her to the center?

No, listen to me.

She's taking over a diner, all right?

She won't allow anyone to leave.

We're trapped here.

Put down the phone.

Dr. Burkhoff?

Where are you? Where's the diner located?

So this is the last one and then I'm really leaving.

I've kept you up long enough.

Maybe I should put on some coffee.

You let me sit here for hours,

ranting about promicin and Jordan Collier, and...

instead of kicking me out, you're offering me coffee?

That's so... sweet.

I don't know about sweet. Selfish maybe.

Since kyle left, it's been pretty lonely around here.

Besides, I know how stressful the job can be.

I'm the guy who thought he was possessed by some entity from the future.

I had a perfectly harmless mole removed for no good reason.

But it's healing, though, right?

- Let me look. - Yeah, I think so.

Sorry.

I don't know why I did that.

Maybe we could both use some coffee.

Maybe later.

Tell me again why we're doing this

at 6:30 in the morning?

Because I like to have fresh tomatoes with my eggs.

Besides, I love working in the garden.

It makes me feel like I'm contributing, even though I don't have an ability.

I've got to admit, it's pretty amazing.

A week ago, this place was a toxic wasteland, and now we're...

having our first harvest.

Well, you're amazed now.

Wait till we get to actually eat them.

Okay. Very funny.

Who's doing that?

Dad?

Hello, Isabelle.

So...

What's it been now? Six months?

Something like that.

I have to say, all that time, you don't seem so glad to see me.

The last time I saw you, you tried to kill me.

Isabelle, I'm not here to hurt you.

How'd you get in here?

I have friends.

4400s who live here now,

left a key for me under the mat.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like a moment alone with my daughter.

Kyle, it's okay.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Why are you here?

I wanted to apologize.

To tell you how sorry I am for being such a lousy father.

I guess I wasn't exactly the best daughter.

You needed guidance.

Someone to teach you right from wrong.

And I wasn't there for you. I tried, but didn't do a very good job.

You were so powerful, even as a baby.

I was never comfortable with that.

And then you grew up overnight.

And your mother aging the way she did.

I tried to deny it, but...

I guess part of me blamed you for her death.

Maybe I was responsible.

I still don't know.

- But I never meant to hurt her. - I know that.

But all the other bad things I did...

They were my fault.

My decisions. Not yours.

You weren't ready to make those kinds of decisions.

You were used by the future,

by Dennis Ryland.

If I had been stronger, I could have prevented all that.

But instead, I allowed things to get ugly between us.

And we both paid the price.

All I want is for us to be father and daughter again.

I want that, too.

You'll stay, right?

I want you to.

So do I.

Hello, Richard.

Welcome to Promise City.

Oh, sorry.

Tom, the second time we did it with the lights on, it's not like

there's anything you haven't seen. Could you help me with this zip?

I'll have to make a quick stop at home to change.

Good. Then we won't be showing up at the same time.

This is only going to be weird if we let it.

- And we're not going to, right? - Right.

Last night was...

Fun.

It's been a rough couple of months. We both needed a little...

distraction, a little comfort,

But it doesn't have to be anything more than that. Okay?

So, you're saying last night was just a...

one-time thing?

Well, yeah.

I think so.

- Don't you? - Yeah.

You have that list I asked for?

Every diner in the greater Seattle area

that has a jukebox.

You sure it was '50s music you heard?

Pretty sure, I heard Chuck Berry.

You're gonna have to cancel all my appointments for today and tomorrow.

Are you sure you should be going after Dr. Burkhoff?

He's a wanted man. You could get in a lot of trouble.

Kevin saved my life, and the lives of all the other 4400s

after the government's inhibitor program almost killed us all.

And besides, if there's anyone that can reduce the risk of taking promicin...

It's him.

He's worth it.

What's wrong with everyone?

Why aren't they dancing? Are they trying to ruin my party?

They've been dancing for two days.

They're exhausted. They need sleep. So do you.

Sleep? Why would anyone want to sleep? It's a party.

What would Bobby think if he showed up and I was sleeping?

I love you, Bobby.

He has eyes like Montgomery Clift.

Soulful, you know?

Where is he anyway? Why isn't he here yet?

Maybe he's not coming.

You're just jealous.

Because Bobby's my boyfriend and you're not.

- That's not why. - No, I don't want to hear it.

Bobby cares about me. He's so sweet.

He'd do anything for me.

Everybody, get up. Everybody, dance.

So...

One fugitive to another,

tell me how you managed to stay off NTAC's radar

all these months.

I had lots of help.

4400s who risked their freedom to...

to give me shelter,

money, pretty much anything I needed.

These friends of yours...

How do they feel about promicin? About people developing abilities?

The world's changed. You changed it.

They're just trying to figure out where they fit in.

I'll tell you where they fit in.

Right here in Promise City.

Everyone with an ability belongs here.

This is a pretty amazing place you've created here.

Oh, I didn't do it. Not alone, anyway.

Everyone here...

has helped to make Promise City a reality,

including you.

No, I'm serious.

All the work that you did for me at the center,

everything that you accomplished,

it all led to us being here.

If you say so.
