All language subtitles for The 4400 - S02 E04 - Weight of the World (720p BluRay)

Previously on The 4400...

We're not sure what's
just happened.

The light is gone and thousands of
people have just suddenly appeared!

Tom is the best agent
I've ever worked with.

Maybe the best you've
got in this division!

I thought I was being
reassigned to field duty.

You are. Effective immediately.

- Work's been a little crazy lately.
- The job? I've been waiting for that one.

It finally feels like
old times around here.

April, glad to hear from you.
You're my sister.

- Surprised?
- How come I never met you before?

- It's complicated.
- We've been busy.

I'm Shawn Farrell. I
am one of the 4400.

Can I sign you up for a tour?

I'm just looking for my
cousin, Shawn Farrell.

Policy prohibits me from
discussing our membership.

I've been to that place
where you're living.

There are some serious Stepford
Wives vibes going on there.

You know that, right?

These centres, they're a chance
to bring people together.

Sounds like someone
got inside your head.

I will not allow these
shadows from your past

to alter your perceptions.

The goal is what matters.

Ensure the future.
Save the planet.

If Maia's having visions,
you should know about it.

And you should know
what they are.

Isabelle is six months old.

I don't know why she talks
to me and not to you.

Talks?

NTAC? Collier?

I don't know who it is, but
someone knows we're 4400s.

Start packing.

How'd it go today, Daddy?

That bad, huh?

Nobody wants to buy time-shares
in Wilmington, Idaho.

Baja, California, maybe.

If I were you, I would go
in there and tell them,

"Either you let me have the
good listings or I quit."

The whole staff wants Baja, honey,
and I don't have the seniority.

How is that fair? You've been a
salesman longer than any of them.

Salesman, not telemarketer.
It's different.

Hey, hey.

Appelbaum.

Payday!

Leave him alone! He's
trying to pay you back.

This your beer, Appelbaum?

You don't mind if I
quench my thirst, do you?

Honey, stay back. Stay back.

I just need a couple more weeks.
Something will turn around.

You know, in my business, you
hear every sob story in the book.

But I've got to tell
you, yours is a new one.

"Disappeared 15 years ago."

Came back in a ball of light.
Wife died.

"Daughter dropped
out of school."

You got a bad break.

But you borrowed the money, and now
you're gonna have to pay me back.

- I'll figure something out.
- You do it quickly,

'cause you and I are gonna
talk again in 48 hours.

I thought you 4400s
got special powers.

- How come you're such a big nothing?
- Just lucky, I guess.

All right, let's go.

Thanks for the beer.

We should be at Eric's place tomorrow.
It'd be nice to see a friendly face.

Maybe sleep in for a change.

- Sounds good.
- You like Eric, right?

You guys got along
in quarantine.

Richard, I'm late.

Like "I might be pregnant" late.

- You sure?
- No, I'm not sure. I'm late.

Well, we'll just have
to wait and see.

Wait and see?

We could go to the drug store, maybe
get one of those test things.

- What would you want it to say?
- I'd like it to say, "Congratulations."

"You have a job, a
house, and a future.

You're ready for another child." But
I don't think it's gonna say that.

No, probably not.

$3,150, $3,200, $3,300, $3,400.

That should keep the
creep happy for a while.

I'm sorry about your car.

I'll ride the bus to work.

Sorry about the television.

I'll read a book.

Appelbaum. The miracle man. You
notice anything different about me?

My God!

75 pounds in two days.

Now, at first I thought the
termites had gotten me.

You know, I was sick. Cancer.
Doctors ran all the tests.

Turns out I'm fine,

but how could I lose all that weight?
And then, I thought of you.

Me and you, we shared a bottle of
beer, and you're one of those 4400s.

- What does that prove?
- Nothing. Yet.

But let's find out. I
want you to take a sip.

Because if I'm right, you
made me lose all this weight,

and then the same thing
should happen to my wife,

who, though I love very much, I do,
could stand to lose maybe 20 pounds.

30.

Go ahead. Drink up.

Appelbaum, these people who took
you, they set you up for life.

They snatched up a bum salesman,
they sent you back the human diet.

The human diet?

I like that.

Go ahead.

Thank you. Thank you.

Reading Jordan's book was
an absolute revelation.

I bought copies for all
my backup dancers,

and we discuss it every
night after the show.

She cut her tour shod.

Yes, because I felt
like I had to be here.

Obviously, I am not
one of the 4400,

but I expect to be treated just
like any other student here.

If I am lucky enough

to tap into an ability,

I will use it to ensure the
world a brighter future.

Congratulations, Chloe Granger.
You have achieved first key.

Thank you.

Last year she was into kabala.

That's amazing! I
lost 23 pounds.

I haven't weighed less
than 130 since college.

I told you Appelbaum was
the real deal, right?

You better not be
harassing him anymore.

Honey, what we got from him

is worth way more than
what he owes me, right?

It's true. Looking good.

Come here. Baby, baby, come on.
Turn around.

Question of the day. Who
is Trent Appelbaum,

and why is the Drandix Corporation
calling me about him?

Appelbaum. Disappeared
in the late '80s.

- He's in phone sales, right?
- Now he's selling himself.

He claims that his saliva is
a catalyst for weight loss.

Can Appelbaum back his claim up?

Well, he's got two
satisfied customers.

Married couple. One dropped
75 pounds, the other, 23.

- Practically overnight.
- My God.

They've got to hand it to
the future on this one.

If they really gave him this ability,
it could be a cure for obesity.

Yeah, it'll change the world.

It's about to change
Trent Appelbaum's world.

He hired a lawyer, an agent.
They were asking $20 million.

But Drandix is in a bidding war
with three other companies.

So who knows where the
final number will end up?

A 4400 selling exclusive rights
to his ability. Is it legal?

Our lawyers are looking into an
injunction, but at the moment,

no legislation
specifically prevents it.

Then our guy stands to
be a very rich man.

Maybe we should go see him.

Yeah, find out if he's
really worth $20 million.

Hey. Jet pilot!

- Did I get it right?
- Close enough.

So, you sounded a little
freaked out on the phone.

Anything I should know about?

Better that you don't.

- Look at you two!
- Yeah.

The lovebirds from
quarantine building B.

This little cutie
must be Isabelle.

- Your daddy told me all about you.
- I'll bet he did.

Come on in. I'll show you
guys the guest room.

Or maybe somebody's
sleeping on the couch?

A minus.

Not too shabby for my
first college essay.

- It was a good paper. Well thought out.
- So what's the minus for?

Well, I always like to leave a
little bit of room for improvement.

"Last days of Pompeii."

Yeah, they throw that party every year.
You should go. Blow off some steam.

You've earned it.

Hate to go alone. You up for it?

I probably flunked half
the members of that frat.

Not my scene, but don't
let me stop you.

I don't know how it works.
They put something inside me.

One of those enzymes
or whatever.

So someone drinks from
the same glass you do,

and they lose weight?

Maybe we should give
them a demonstration.

Cut it out, Elise.

- She thinks she needs to lose 8 pounds.
- Try 10.

Sweetie, you're beautiful. You
don't need to lose anything.

He's right about that.
You don't.

Lot of kids go to college
when they're 18.

Elise had to take a job at a diner.
We were apart for 16 years,

but while I was gone, they gave
me a way to make it up to her.

Mr Appelbaum, no one's telling you
not to provide for your daughter.

But a 4400 putting his gift on
the open market is a first.

We want to make sure nobody
gets taken advantage of.

Not you, not the
buyer, other 4400s...

You don't have to teach
me about selling.

I've been a salesman my whole life.
Most of the stuff I peddled? Junk.

But now I've got a product
that everybody wants

and only I can provide.

I am the damn product.

Nobody's putting Trent
Appelbaum back in the bottle!

My father fought in Korea.
Infantry.

- I flew an F-86.
- Eric told me. Daddy admired you guys.

He said there was only 25 black
pilots in the whole Air Force

who were allowed to fly
with everybody else.

There weren't a lot
of us, that's true.

You're the first person
I've met in a long time

that's even mentioned
the Korean war.

It was a big deal at our house.

Veteran's Day, I'd be off from school.
We'd always go to the parade.

Yeah. My grandfather on my
mom's side, he'd take me, too.

Except it was called
Armistice Day back then,

for World War I.

He'd put on his full dress,
go march with his buddies.

Daddy'd look so handsome
in his uniform.

I bet you did, too.

I'd like to meet him sometime.

Yeah, well, too late.

He passed away two
years ago this August.

- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Thank you.

He would have really loved
to have met you, too.

Yeah. The guy was 81. He was
born four years after I was.

Lucky for you, I like older men.

So, Richard, we know what
you were up to in 1951.

How about lately?

- I've been working as an auto mechanic.
- Oh, really?

So what brings you to
this part of the country?

It's kind of remote
for a vacation.

He came to see me. Us 4400s,
we got to stick together.

We have a bond that you mere
humans will never understand.

Eric, you freak me out when you
talk that 4400 unity crap.

Not much of a talker,
are you, Lily?

I'm not really used to being in
social situations these days.

Now, you are a lucky man.

With this one here, well,
it's yap, yap, yap.

But I guess you already
noticed that, didn't you?

I have to pee. For about
the 75th time today.

I have to change Isabelle.

That one's beautiful.

Oh, they're all beautiful.

I just like them better in this book
than I do on somebody's shoulder.

You don't get it, Di.

These drawings are not
meant to live on the page.

- They're meant to live on the skin.
- That's very deep.

- But you're right. I don't get it.
- I do.

Okay, you've got to let
this brilliant little girl

swing by Ink tomorrow!

- It's a tattoo shop.
- A body alt emporium.

And for five hours tomorrow,
I'm the featured artist.

You must be pretty good.

Can't we go? Just
for a little while?

One hour.

Oh, Shawn. Have you
seen Chloe's schedule?

Why would I have seen
Chloe's schedule, Devon?

She has an interview with
US Weekly at 3:00 tomorrow.

Okay. Well, hopefully
she'll mention the centre.

But her Nutrition and
Purification class is at 3:00.

Yep. I think I heard Jordan say
she was excused from that.

She's been on a macrobiotic
diet for three years.

Or so she says.

Look, I'm sure Jordan plans on
treating Chloe like any other student.

Okay?

No, I'm ready to close!
I don't want to wait!

Just tell them it's done
and I'll be in tomorrow.

All right. Thanks, Len.

How much?

$40 million.

Hey, where's the next round?
Come on.

- It's on its way. But, sir...
- What?

This will be your fourth steak.

- We're hungry!
- Okay.

Okay. I just hate to see
you make yourself sick.

No one is sick, okay? We're hungry.
Starving. Now go.

Go! Get your hands off the plate.
Go! I'm starving.

Morning. You're not dressed.

Those guys from Arkham Films
are here to pitch us.

Oh, the recruitment video.

Yeah, well, you can handle
that meeting, can't you?

Well, yeah, sure, if
you're too busy. Yeah.

Hey. I guess Jordan's getting
a late start this morning.

My bart. I'm gonna just
jump in the shower, okay?

Shower sounds good, Chloe.

Close your mouth, Shawn.
You'll draw flies.

One-on-one tutoring with a first key.
That's new.

First key or not, Chloe
demands, deserves,

a different level of attention.

She's our entree, Shawn, into
the entertainment community.

Jordan, you have an entire
chapter in your book

that rips celebrity culture.

"It's a cancer that
separates people,

that helps define the
haves and have-nots."

"4400 culture is
all about unity."

Yes. Please, Shawn, do not
quote me back to myself.

The fact is, celebrities
have deep pockets

and deeper insecurities.

We can use both
to our advantage.

You can be a manipulative
prick, you know that?

Yeah. Well,

it helps to use your entire skill set
when you're trying to change the world.

You and Lily should think about
putting down some roots here.

I think all this running is fraying
you both around the edges.

- You noticed.
- Hard not to.

You can do a lot worse than White Bird.
It's quiet.

Everyone minds their
own business.

Eventually, you're gonna have to
stop crisscrossing the highways.

Might as well do it here
before you run out of road.

Thank you, by the way,

for not asking what
we're running from.

I figured if you wanted me
to know, you'd tell me.

Look, Richard,

I've got all the work I can
handle up in Livingston.

Keeping up these movie
stars' second homes.

I could use a hand.

Are you offering me a job?

They used to call us handymen.
Now we're property managers.

Either way, you'd be working
with me, not for me.

And if you'll just
sign right here...

As agreed, your signing bonus.

When do I start?

You're making breakfast.

As you pour the milk
over your cereal,

you notice that there's a
photo of a missing child

on the side of the carton.

It takes you a moment to realise that
it's a picture of you at 10 years old.

This one's giving me the chills.

- Who's making this stuff up?
- That moron.

Devon, do not let Jordan
hear you say that.

The two of them
hooked up last night.

Yeah. And by the looks of it,
probably this morning, too.

There's a telephone number on
the missing persons report.

It's the number of
your childhood home.

Stay here?

- You mean permanently?
- It's a nice town.

Eric says I could
start work tomorrow.

Look, Lily.

We gotta get you off the road,
especially if you're pregnant again.

I'm not.

- You sure?
- Positive.

Please don't try and pretend
you're not relieved.

Relieved?

Lily, I was trying to wrap my
head around it, that's all.

Especially if we're not
gonna be running anymore.

I don't know about
this place, Richard.

- Isabelle thinks it's...
- Let me guess. We should move on?

I was hoping we could
go to Salem, Oregon.

I have some relatives there.

I think they might be willing to
help us out. Keep quiet about it.

Salem? That's a city.

Maybe we could get lost
in a crowd for a change.

This place, this life,
it feels right to me.

This is Eric's life.

It's not yours.

It's not ours.

No, this is not a negotiating stance.
It's my answer. No. Goodbye.

So, let me guess.
The answer is no?

That was a rep from
the Yoyotron Corp.

They want to sign Maia to a
$300,000 a year holding contract.

But Maia doesn't have
any ability anymore.

You don't need any to
make any of these deals.

They're signing
4400s up on spec.

They want them in their pocket in case
something develops down the line.

Well, you did the right
thing by saying no.

Tom, about Maia.

- What? She's okay, isn't she?
- She's fine.

I've been trying to figure out
the right time to tell you this.

I probably should have
done it right away, but...

You know those visions
that Maia used to have?

It turns out she was only
pretending that they stopped.

- How long have you known?
- Not long.

I only found out because
I read her diary.

It was an eyeful.

You gonna tell Jarvis?

I'd rather not turn my daughter's
diary over to the government.

Hey, don't give me
that look, Tom.

You kept Shawn's ability to
yourself for quite some time.

I guess we're even now.

See how cool that looks?

- Your aunt, she's a real artist.
- Oh, say it again, Billy boy.

- I don't think my sister heard you.
- No, I heard him. You're a star.

Believe it.

As soon as I heard April was appearing
here, I booked my time right away.

- So did pretty much all of my buddies.
- That's impressive. I'm proud of you.

Wait a minute.

You didn't actually just say
that you were proud of me?

Cut it out. Of course I am!

I always thought you
thought I was a loser.

You really think that?

- Yeah, I really do.
- April!

All I said was that
I liked the tattoo.

You don't always wear
your helmet, do you?

You should wear one tonight.

Why is that?

You won't make it over to
Monica's house if you don't.

- Does that hurt?
- How do you know about my girlfriend?

I really think you
should wear your helmet.

- You killed her.
- Dmitri!

- What happened to you?
- My wife. She's gone.

Doctors say that she starved to death.
I'm next.

You killed us both.

How many times am I
supposed to tell you?

I don't know how I
got to that store,

and I sure as hell don't
remember breaking any window.

Not remembering is no excuse.

And stop telling me
somebody spiked your drink.

The police ran tests, Kyle.

- There was no GHB In your system.
- What else could it be?

You spent three years in a coma. You
have no business drinking anything!

Okay, so I screwed up. I'm sorry.
What more do you want?

How about acknowledging
that this was serious?

Do you know how close they were

to charging you with
breaking and entering?

Which, by the way, is a felony.

If I didn't play the NTAC card, you'd
be sitting in a jail cell right now.

- Can I go to bed?
- No, this is serious.

You want to make up for lost time, Kyle.
I get it. I get it.

But we need to talk about
some ground rules for you.

- I'm not a kid. I don't need ground rules.
- Yeah, I wouldn't know that from tonight.

Answer it.

What?

You're kidding me.

Yeah, I'll be right in.

We'll finish this later.

What happened to
laying down the law?

Right. Something more
important came up.

You just go upstairs, Kyle.
Just go upstairs.

Richard.

- What are you doing out here?
- Just getting some air.

Hop in. We'll give
you a ride back.

I was reading about your Air Force
unit on the Internet yesterday.

No kidding. I looked at
it a couple times, too.

You guys were one of the most decorated
flying squads in the whole...

Tara, will you stop pestering
the man about his past?

It's okay. I don't mind.

Well, as long as you're feeling
talkative, I've got a question for you.

Now, what'd a brother have
to do back in the '50s

before they'd let you
fly a plane, huh?

Polish the officer's
boots on the weekends?

David!

No, no, no, seriously.
I mean, I'm wondering.

Boy must've done some
serious bowing and scraping

before they hand you
them keys, right?

That is enough.

- I'm so sorry, Richard.
- No problem.

Some people, the less they
know, the more they talk.

Oh, I know some things. I know
a lot more than you realise.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means quit fawning over the
man and keep your mouth closed.

Why don't you just let
me out right here?

Hey, you sit back,
you relax, huh?

Now this here, it's
called marriage.

That's all. You know
what I'm talking about.

Dmitri's dead?

Organ failure resulting from
malnutrition, just like his wife.

They were supposed to lose 20 or
30 pounds, not starve to death.

Are you sure there
isn't anyone else?

- Family, friends?
- No.

Did you kiss anyone?
Share a drinking glass?

No. There's no one else.

We think we know what
happened to the Kazars.

There's a protein in your saliva that
hyperaccelerated their metabolism.

It's a cagey one, too.

It stimulates the brain
to release Epinephrine

and it breaks down fat
cells at the same time.

No wonder they burnt up calories

faster than their bodies
could take them in.

They could eat anything and
everything and still starve to death.

It doesn't make any sense.

We're supposed to be helping people, right?
That's why we were sent back.

All I wanted was to make
good for my daughter.

- Now I'm a murderer.
- You didn't mean to do it, Trent.

Is that supposed to
make me feel better?

We're gonna have
to keep you here.

Try and find a way to remove
the protein from your system.

Look, the good news is,
we caught it early.

A lot more people could
have been infected.

Oh, no.

I was at Drandix this morning.

I spent two hours in their
lab giving tissue samples.

Oh, my God.

Look, this isn't my fault, and I
have the documents to prove it.

How many people did you test?

Look, my bosses, they
wanted a clinical trial

up and running by
the end of the day.

- They said, "Make it your top priority!"
- How many?

A hundred.

Whoa, hey, what's going on?
What's going on?

Well, why would Devon
try to kill herself?

Obviously, she's a very
troubled young girl.

But she's gonna be okay, though?

Yeah. They were able to pump her
stomach out at the emergency room.

- She's at home, recovering.
- Okay.

But I think what we need to do
right now is continue our work.

Kyle, if the cops say you didn't get
geed, you have to believe them, right?

They could have screwed up the test.
I didn't drink that much.

Well, maybe your dad's right.
Maybe you shouldn't drink at all.

- I hope it was just the booze.
- Well, what else could it have been?

When I first came
out of my coma,

I wasn't quite myself.

I hope it's not happening again.

I don't know exactly what you mean,
but if you're losing chunks of time,

you should talk to
your dad about it.

What's he going to do? Turn
me over to NTAC Medical?

I'm not going back into quarantine.
No way.

If you're looking for Eric...

Now there's your
goddamn apology!

- What are you talking about?
- She was at me all morning.

Richard this. Richard that.
I should go apologise.

From here on in, you stay
the hell away from my wife.

You're crazy, right? I've got
nothing going on with your wife.

You'd better step away and take
a deep breath or something.

Man, I step where I please.

Now, listen to me.

You're gonna go home and you're
gonna apologise to Tara.

If you've got any brains at all,

you're gonna start treating her
better, 'cause if you don't,

one day someone's gonna
take her away from you.

Now, get your ass out of here.

Trent, this isn't helping.

I had to see what I did.

You want to do something,
get back to the lab.

Help them work on a
way to counter this.

Just let me call
Elise first, huh?

She'll be wondering
where I was all night.

Help me.

Elise?

Daddy, help me.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to lose 10 pounds.

Baby, I told you
you were perfect.

- I used one of your water glasses.
- We're gonna get you help.

We're gonna get everybody help.

- Tom? We got something.
- What? Tell me.

Well, I asked the
guys downstairs

if we could approach this
like a smallpox vaccine.

Use trace amounts of the antigen

to build resistance and counter
the effects of the disease.

These people are
starving to death.

Yeah, but it's because
of a chemical reaction.

Now they biopsied Trent's liver.

That's where the protein
is coming from.

- So if we extract this protein...
- They can make a serum

that will stimulate antibody
production in the victims.

But they're gonna have to
harvest tissue to do it.

How much of his liver
would you have to use?

Given how much time we have,
they want to take all of it.

I've never seen a sunset like that,
the way it takes forever to go down.

It's like it doesn't
want to give up the sky.

It's a pretty sky.

Worth holding on to.

I'm sorry.

What for?

For letting you believe
even for a second

that I wouldn't want to have
another child with you.

I want to build a future for us, Lily. I
just need to get my feet under me first.

Well, maybe if we
stay here, you can.

I mean it, Richard.
You love it here.

I don't want to stand
in the way of that.

I'd sure hate to
give up that sky.

Me, too.

Are you even sure
this will work?

Oh, it's Elise's only shot.
Her and all the others.

We've got a matching donor lined up.
It's still a big risk.

But say the word, and
the liver's on its way.

Okay, then.

You want to close this deal,
here's the fine print.

You want Elise to go to school.
It's already done.

I talked to Drandix.

They've agreed to open up a
college fund in her name.

- Sold.
- Great.

Your mom put them in a vase for me.
She's a very nice lady.

They're very pretty, Shawn.

- But you didn't have to.
- Well, I wanted to.

I hope Jordan's not too upset.

No. No. Hey...

He's probably too busy
with his pet superstar.

Devon,

what are you doing thinking about
Jordan and Chloe right now?

Hey. Hey.

You have no idea how
I feel about him.

How deep it runs.

I worship Jordan for
everything he's given me.

For allowing me to
be so close to him.

He took me to a place I
never thought possible.

Devon,

are you telling me
that you and Jordan...

Jordan's head is full of love.

He shares that love with me.
It's an honour.

An honour that Chloe
doesn't deserve.

She's not a real
student of Jordan's.

Billy! God, what
happened to you?

At the shop the other night,
I got clipped by a car

on the way out of
the parking lot.

But you were wearing your
helmet, weren't you?

Yeah. Doctor said
it saved my life.

How did you know that
was gonna happen to me?

Children's intuition.

- I'm glad you're okay.
- Yeah. Me, too.

It's a shame to
lose you so soon.

It sucks, huh? I thought my
Atlanta dates were pushed.

Now they're threatening
to sue if I don't show.

You've made such progress in
such a shod period of time.

Yeah.

Believe me, that doesn't
happen very often.

Well, I sure as hell hope not.

You know me, Jordan. I
like feeling special.

You are.

This was amazing. I can't
wait to get back here.

Bye.

Talk about a quick study.

Third key status in
less than a week, huh?

Noblesse oblige, Shawn. She
benefits, and so do we.

It's too bad all of the
women that you screw

don't share the same benefits.

That's cheap and childish.
I expect more of you.

I know the feeling.

- I'm so sorry, you two!
- What's wrong?

It's David.

He just looked on the
website for the 4400s.

It said that you
two were missing,

that you hadn't reported in
the way you were supposed to.

I heard him on the
phone just now.

He's reporting you guys
to the government.

I'm sorry about that
idiot David, man.

I would have loved to
have you two around.

Thanks for putting us up.

- I can't...
- Take it, man.

Call it a down payment on your
next house, wherever that may be.

- Hope you find a safe place.
- I thought it was here.

Is my dad gonna be all right?

He's gonna be in intensive
care for a while.

- But the transplant, it went well.
- Your dad's a hero.

I'm gonna tell him
that when he wakes up.

You have something to say,
now would be a good time.

You know what?

You want to hand out keys like
they're junk mail, you be my guest.

That woman will play to
20,000 people every night

wearing our insignia,
promoting our image.

Image?

How does nailing your secretary
help our image, Jordan?

- I'm not perfect. I never pretend...
- I don't need perfection.

I just want you to
stop giving me reason

to think of you as some
kind of hypocrite.

When you're running this place, Shawn,
you can behave as nobly as you'd like.

Meaning what?

Meaning, one day, all
of this will be yours.

The paperwork's been drawn up.
The lawyers know what to do.

Everything's in place.

But you're not going anywhere.

Nevertheless,

I sleep better

knowing my life's
work is in the hands

of the saintly, the
unsullied Shawn Farrell.

So we thought we had a cure for
the world's obesity problems.

Yeah, instead, we've
got two dead bodies,

100 other people in recovery

and one corporation
scrambling to cover its ass.

It looks like the great
4400 gold rush is over.

Making the point of this
little exercise what, exactly?

Maybe they got it wrong. They thought
they had a cure, but they didn't.

I mean, they're from the future, but
they're still human beings, right?

Let's not rush to judgment.

I mean, we know rapid weight loss
is the effect on the human body.

But if the purpose of this protein is
to provoke metabolic chemical change,

it could have other
applications.

Like.

I don't know, breaking
down toxic waste.

It could rid the ocean of pollutants,
maybe even restore the ozone layer.

So in other words, the possibilities
are pretty much endless.

That's all they are right now, though.
Possibilities.

We're years away
from practical use.

But with his new liver,

Appelbaum won't be able to
produce the chemical anymore.

He doesn't have to.

Now that we've got it
isolated, we can reproduce it

and find out what we've
really got here.

So Trent earned his golden
parachute after all.

Maybe his daughter could
study chemistry in college.

Hey.

All right, there won't be any
interruptions on my end.

- Is this a good time to talk?
- Yeah.

I never said thanks.

For getting me off the
hook with the cops.

Look, Kyle.

I know you're gonna make mistakes.
I did when I was your age.

The only thing I ask is you let
me help you learn from them.

Makes sense.

So I just need to know.

You told me everything that
happened that night, right?

Yeah.
