All language subtitles for The 4400 - S03 E09 - The Ballad of Kevin and Tess (720p BluRay)

We're not a threat.
We're salvation.

The world will have
to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400:

You're so sweet.

I wish I could take you with
me when I go, but I can't.

So yesterday, a few patients were
compelled to work on this thing.

And today, it's the
entire hospital.

If we get Tess out of here, do you
think this compulsion will fade?

I'm injecting myself with a modified
version of the promicin serum.

I will have taught my body
how to produce promicin.

And then I will be the first
non-returnee to develop 4400 abilities.

Enough running, Dr. Burkhoff.
You need to come with us now.

No. Stay back. I don't
wanna hurt anyone.

That's very reassuring.

We'll keep that in mind.

No! No! No!

Mr. Tyler.

Come in. What can I do for you?

I wanted to ask you about your
work with the students here.

Sure. I teach three classes.

- History, arts and...
- I'm not talking about your teaching.

I was talking about the
counselling that you do.

I understand you use your
ability with the kids.

That's right.

My ability is to help them
focus their abilities.

It's pretty much what I've been
doing ever since I came back.

If a student has a talent,
like all of our kids here do,

I help them learn how to use it.

Gain control of it.
Build their confidence.

Does it work with adults?

It didn't use to, but I haven't tried it
since I've been off the inhibitor. Why?

I developed this ability
a few months ago.

Telekinesis.

What a word. I can't even say
it with a straight face.

- Oh, that's fantastic.
- I've just been pretending it isn't there.

I mean, I know a
little bit about it.

So far, it only works
with inanimate objects.

Little stuff.

And when I'm mad or excited,
I can do a lot more with it.

And you're looking to control
it when you're calm?

Yeah. That's why
I'm here, I guess.

How many times do I have to
go over this with you people?

I have not been injecting
promicin into anyone but myself.

You're certain of that?

You're a world-class scientist.

I find it difficult to believe you
wouldn't build a redundancy plan

into your experiment.

This isn't your
basic sleep study.

I mean, look at me.

Do you think I'd have an easy
time finding volunteers?

No, I do not.

You look like you're in quite
a bit of discomfort to me.

Yes.

- As a matter of fact, I am.
- Well, you can relax now.

The experiment's over.

This will only hurt a minute.

Bag him.

We'll take him back
for the autopsy.

Get Dr. Burkhoff up there quickly.
We promised results by the morning.

Mommy?

Mommy? Mom? Are you okay?

Of course, sweetie. I'm fine.

Why wouldn't I be?

I had a bad dream.
You were in it.

Well, why don't you get
in and tell me about it?

You turned into a monster.

It was horrible.

It seemed so real.

It was you, but you
were different.

What kind of a monster?

Nice. Something for the
refrigerator door?

You don't think there's
anything to this?

It's not a prediction, right?
Just a bad dream.

Well, I hope so. But when
your daughter is a precog,

you don't want her giving
you a picture like this.

Hello, this is Skouris.

Well, thank you for
calling me back.

- Let me know if you see him, all right?
- Everything okay?

Maybe. I'm not sure.

I mean, that was
the 4400 Center.

I was hoping maybe they'd seen Dr.
Burkhoff.

I stopped by his apartment
yesterday, and he wasn't home.

Diana, why would you be stopping by Dr.
Burkhoff's apartment?

You actually saw the wound
in Kevin's hand heal over?

Yes. He pulled the scalpel out,
and it was gone within seconds.

He's developing an ability. I
mean, he's close to it anyway.

He says it comes and goes.

What?

Anyone else developing a 4400
ability I should know about?

- I should have told you earlier.
- You're damn right you should have.

Gotta hand it to you, Diana.

Some people play racquetball
in their spare time,

maybe collect old
records, but you,

you play Igor to
the one man who...

Well, if he has developed
an ability like you say,

maybe he really is the
father of 4400 technology.

Just like the future predicted.

Are you two the only ones who
know about this experiment?

I thought we were.

And now I'm not so sure.

And that's what I'm
worried about.

Tom, what if someone else
finds out what he's up to?

Well, if he succeeds,

we could be talking about the
mass marketing of 4400 abilities.

I'm sure a lot of people would like
to keep that genie in the bottle.

Make our jobs even easier. Are you...?
Are you okay?

Yeah, it's just my allergies.
They're acting up.

I've already spoken to his family.
They haven't heard from him in months.

Okay, so who else
is he close to?

"'I didn't know that Cheshire
cats always grinned.

In fact, I didn't know cats could
grin," said Alice very politely.

"'You don't know much,"
said the duchess.

"And that's a fact."

We'll finish this
chapter tomorrow.

I hope you all can make it.

I've been living in a halfway
house for about three months.

And I got this job
here two weeks ago.

Well, that's great, Tess.

So they found a medication
that works for you?

Well, so far, so good.

I still have my disease.
Schizophrenia never goes away.

But I haven't had any
symptoms for a while.

Hopefully, I won't.

So these kids you're reading to,

they're not going to try and build a
tower to contact the future, are they?

I don't think so.

I can barely remember
all that now.

I'm still not sure how I
could compel people to work

or why they put those
blueprints in my head.

I'm glad it made Kevin better.

But it was still so weird.

That's actually why we're here.

Have you been in touch
with Kevin lately?

No. I called him when I first got
out of the institution, but...

We met for coffee...

I haven't seen him in months.
Is he okay?

Well, we're not sure, but
we'd like to talk to him.

So if he contacts you,
would you let us know?

Of course.

When you find him, will
you have him call me?

Sure. It's nice to
see you again, Tess.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I just spoke with the
programme coordinator.

She says the first segment
will be interviews

with some of the
people you've healed.

And then they'll bring
you out after the break.

She says the emotional stuff also
plays well with her audience,

so feel free to cry or...

We'll see about that.

They're also kind of
curious about the wedding.

She'd love it if you
answered some questions.

Let's keep the private
life private, okay?

Nick! Nick, please wake up!

Nick! Nick, please wake up!

Jesus, that's Nick Crowley.

Oh, my God. You're that 4400.

The one with the hands.
Help him, please! Nick!

Nick, wake up, please.

- Is he all right?
- If you're okay, say something.

Well, Jim Morrison says hello.

Easy, easy, boys, easy.

Coming up...

You just saved Nick Crowley.

On behalf of millions of rock 'n'
roll burnouts all over the world,

allow me to thank you.

Any time you wanna lay these
on me, you just let me know.

It was a little bit big,
so I just had it resized.

It's perfect now.

I think Mom would be
really happy, don't you?

Lily gave you that ring.

I guess you can do
what you want with it.

I think it's perfect.

So have you thought about what
you're going to say at the wedding?

Usually, the father of
the bride gives a toast.

Well, it's all been so sudden.

I haven't had much time
to really plan it yet.

That's okay. I have
a few thoughts.

There's an article in
this magazine on toasts.

Read it.

I think I can handle
that on my own.

Dad, I want you to read it.
Tonight.

Hi.

I bought some food.

Let me help you with that.

Thank you. My joints
are a little stiff.

Kevin, why did you put your
hood up when I came in?

You shouldn't have to
look at me like this.

Like what?

Diana Skouris and Tom Baldwin
came by the bookstore today.

They were asking about you.

I figured Diana would be worried.
How did she look?

Okay, I guess.

A little sick.

Kevin, I felt bad seeing her.

I don't like what
we're doing to her.

- What I'm doing to her.
- I don't like it much either.

But we are on the cusp

of changing the world
for the better.

We have to keep going,
even if it gets ugly.

Kevin, it's already ugly.
Someone shot you yesterday.

I know.

But the experiment
is worth the risk.

They woke me up to do this.

You woke me up to do this.

I have to move forward.

And to do that, I need Diana.

And I need you.

Is Shawn Farrell around? I
have something for him.

I played that when we were
recording my first album.

I've been holding
on to it for years.

You're really giving this to me?

You saved my life.

Seems like a fair trade to me.

So this ability of yours.

It works every time
out of the gate?

Yeah, pretty much. Oh, my God.

I wish they'd brought
you back 15 years ago.

Career in rock 'n' roll...

Sometimes it feels like
you're living in a war zone.

You lose a lot of
people along the way.

One day you look up, and
you're the last man standing.

You should take better care of yourself.
I'm not always around.

I feel like I owe you
more than a guitar.

We're playing tomorrow night, and
I wanted to invite you backstage.

You can hang out, watch
the show from the wings.

- Really?
- Sure.

I figure it'll be handy
having you around.

If I keel over, you
can always come out

and do your hands of God
thing for an encore.

It's cold.

You should bring your jacket.

She didn't say anything
on the way over?

Of course not, Kevin.
She hardly ever does.

You're so brave.

I always wanted to
give it to you first.

I thought you
deserved an ability.

I'm sorry it has to happen
without your permission.

Can we get this started?

Give Dr. Burkhoff your hand.

Mommy, I'm gonna be late for
school if we don't leave soon.

I'm sorry, baby. I slept
through my alarm.

I'll be ready in a few...

Mommy, are you okay?

I'm fine. I just
broke a nail is all.

Hi.

Hey, Marco.

What are you doing down here?

Tom asked me to check out Dr.
Burkhoff's computers.

Are you okay?

- I heard you had the flu.
- No.

Hey, I thought you were
taking a sick day.

Everyone, please, stop treating
me like a plague patient.

I'm fine.

Have we learned anything here?

Dr. Burkhoff's computers are clean.
Like, completely clean.

I mean, there's no saved
files, no records of anything.

It's like someone took
out his hard drives

and swapped them for new ones.

- So either he took them somewhere...
- Or someone else has them.

Diana...

look at this.

Is that Kevin?

Yeah.

My God, these are the side
effects of the injections?

I haven't seen him in
a couple of weeks.

I had no idea he'd
gotten so bad.

So who drew this? You think
it's a self-portrait?

No way. Kevin's hands weren't
steady enough to make coffee.

Didn't Tess like to draw?

I feel like I'm in
a staring contest.

It's okay.

I know it can be a
little awkward at first.

So sometimes when I'm having trouble
getting started with a student,

I'll take their hand.

It helps everything get rolling.

You up for it?

Yeah. I guess.

Just relax, okay?

I'm sorry, I...

To be honest, I felt
a little awkward.

I haven't had someone touch
me like that since...

my wife passed.

It's okay.

Sometimes it takes more than
one session to make headway.

Diana?

Diana?

Should I just call you a cab? I
can handle this if you want.

No, I'm okay.

Any sign of Tess?

No, she hasn't come out yet.

Look, Tom, I made an appointment
with the doctor tomorrow morning.

But for now, I'd just like
to stick with it, okay?

I have to say, this does
not feel like the flu.

It's like I'm dragging
myself around.

Here she is.

Come in.

Hey.

What?

Different look for you.

New look?

I dressed like this
for ten years.

Hey, you're not here to ask
about the wedding, are you?

I am officially taking the
night off from all planning.

This has nothing to
do with the wedding,

unless Nick Crowley's invited.

He's downstairs.

Really? I'm getting
ready for his show.

Maybe he wants to give
me a ride or something.

I don't think that's it.

Well, what?

I never get enough refills.

I mean, look at me.

- Where is he staying...?
- What's he saying?

Nick has a prescription
for Antabuse.

They're these pills that are supposed
to help him cut back on his drinking.

He finally tried some.

I guess he overdid it, huh?

It's the same thing he
does with everything.

He insisted on coming here
instead of the hospital.

Continue medicine for me.

Do your worst.

Please?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy.

Lay down. Lay down.

You're my little lifeline.

Kevin.

Dr. Burkhoff, I've been
worried about you.

What are you doing
hiding up here?

My God, look at you.

Dr. Burkhoff, you
need to come with us.

We're gonna get you some help.

I can't do that. People
are trying to kill me.

What people? Who's
trying to kill you?

I think they work
for the government.

No, they don't work for NTAC.

Are you sure about that?
Because I'm not.

Listen, Kevin, you know us.

If you come in,
we'll protect you.

Besides, I'm not taking no
for an answer. Come on.

Actually, I think you're
going to have to.

- Diana, what the hell are you doing?
- I don't know, Tom. I'm sorry.

Diana is not quite
herself right now.

She'll do whatever
Tess tells her to.

Tess, would you get
his gun, please?

Please. I am so
close to finishing.

Stop trying to find me.

I have no desire to hurt you.

Diana.

Are you okay? You all right?

I don't know. What happened?

You pulled your gun on me.

- Tess.
- Yeah.

- Oh, God.
- What?

Something's wrong.

I feel weird.

Oh, my God. What are those?

They're lesions.

They're just like the ones Kevin had
when he started taking promicin.

We need to get you
to NTAC medical.

We want him brought in unharmed.

If there's anything at all
to these experiments.

Dr. Burkhoff has
been conducting,

a lot of people in D.C. are gonna
want to look over his notes.

These pictures have already been
circulated to local law enforcement.

We're gonna distribute them
around the neighbourhood

near Dr. Burkhoff's apartment

and the vacation home
where he was hiding.

- Maybe we'll get lucky.
- So, what?

We tell people there's some
kind of monster on the loose?

No, if anyone asks, we tell them Dr.
Burkhoff has Werner's syndrome.

- It's a rare wasting disease.
- Okay.

You think we're gonna be able to
bring this guy in safe and sound?

I mean, some cowboy cop sees
this stumbling towards him,

you don't think he might shoot
first and ask questions later?

That's why we have
to get to him first.

Whatever Dr. Burkhoff
is guilty of,

he saved thousands of lives
during the inhibitor scandal.

Look, the good thing
about his condition

is it shouldn't make
him too hard to spot.

I don't know.

They're nice hands,

but they don't look
magical or anything.

Making friends already?

- Hey.
- Oh, you've chosen wisely.

I speak from experience.

The show was amazing.

- Thank you so much for having me.
- What are you thanking me for?

The show would have been
cancelled if not for you.

Listen, I just had the best
idea during the encore.

Why don't you come out
on the road with us?

And do what?

Well, you could start with Mischa,
and work your way onward from there.

Okay, yeah, it's tempting,

but I kind of have a lot on my
plate here in Seattle, you know?

I'm supposed to be
getting married soon.

Well, in that case, you
have to come with us.

It'll be like an extended bachelor party.
We'll take good care of you. Promise.

And a promise from Mischa
is money in the bank.

Besides, I like having
you along with us.

You keep me limber.

- You mean upright.
- Oh, yeah, that too.

I don't...

I'm not your personal
physician, you know?

Of course you're not.

You're a hell of a lot better
than any doctor I've ever met.

Think about it,
but not too long.

What's to think about?

Who could say no to all of this?

So what can I get
you this morning?

Could I have the steak and eggs?

Could you make the
steak extremely rare?

Thanks.

Dr. Burkhoff was spotted at a diner
in Beacon Hill. He's there right now.

Bring him in quietly if you
can, but bring him in.

Diana, wake up.

Dr. Anapurn.

I thought I was
supposed to sleep.

You gave me drugs.

You're being discharged.
You need to come with me.

I don't know. I guess he
left about 15 minutes ago.

Did he say where he was headed?

No. I mean, he didn't even touch
the food he ordered, right?

He just left in a hurry.

He left a good tip, though.

Where are we going?

Thank you.

You can go back to
your office now.

- Tess, don't do this.
- I'm sorry.

I wish it didn't have to be
you, but there's no one else.

We better go. He'll
be waiting for us.

How could I have done that?
I don't remember any of it.

Diana doesn't remember going to
Kevin's apartment at night, either.

If Dr. Burkhoff's willing
to break her out of here,

he must be getting desperate. Feels
like he's running out of time.

He has to complete
the experiment.

He's gonna up her dosage. If
we don't find Diana soon,

she's gonna wind up in
the same shape as Kevin.

I think it's the silence
that's messing us up.

It's too awkward.

So instead of us just staring at
each other, I thought we'll talk.

Okay.

Something specific you
want to talk about?

No. You pick.

Well, I've been thinking about
my parents a lot lately.

What they'd think of all this.

This place.

Me.

Sitting here trying to
figure out how to use my...

Telekinetic ability?

You know, you can say it out loud.
It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Yeah, you can say that,

but when I first got
back, I was a 4400,

but I didn't have an ability.

I felt normal.

It was something I
could hold onto.

Now you have to get used to
the idea that you're special.

Is that what my parents would
think if they were here?

Or would they just think that
their son had become a freak?

Richard, when you got taken,

you were one of the first black
pilots in all of the military.

You were at the vanguard.

Now you're part of a
different vanguard.

There's a reason
they picked you.

I think your parents
would be proud.

Yeah?

Maybe that's true.

Richard?

Well, I guess that worked, huh?

This will be fine. We can
work here for a while.

Tell him he can go home.

Please, you gotta help me.
Say something.

Don't bother.

He's not going to
remember any of this.

Thank you. You can go home now.

Kevin, can I get you some water?

No.

- I'm fine.
- Kevin, you're dying.

You're killing yourself, and
now you're gonna kill me too.

No.

You will not die.

My work is valid.

Are you sure?

Look at yourself.

If it isn't working in me, the
fault isn't with the experiment.

It's with me.

All those years of shock treatments,
the fistfuls of medication.

They must have changed me.

I'm not a good subject.

There is no good subject.

Kevin, you're brilliant,
but you're wrong.

You failed, and you're not thinking
clearly enough to see that.

My mind is not compromised.

We are at a point, Diana,

where it would be easy for
the timid to turn back.

We have to be braver than that.

And if necessary...

I'm prepared to be brave
enough for both of us.

Working on a song?

The end of one. Can't
nail it, though.

Inspiration.

What? Are you shocked
I'm drinking my lunch?

- I didn't say anything.
- Good.

- Because...
- Listen...

This here is called
maintaining a base level.

It's kind of scary, actually.

Shawn, don't worry.

I've made a solemn vow
not to overindulge,

unless, of course,
you're around.

Yeah, that's kind of the thing.

You're not going to be
around, is that it?

You're not coming on the road?

I wanted to. It's just...

I mean, even if it was
for a little while.

This gift I have, though, it's kind
of a responsibility, you know?

And I don't mean
to be harsh, man,

but I don't think it
was meant to be used

as a rock star's
personal safety net.

You don't know that.

Maybe they sent you
back to keep me alive

so I could finish me album.

Nick, if you go down again...

I can't be there for you.

There's still time, you know.

We can save him.

I think maybe you don't
have enough faith in Kevin.

He can do this.

He's special, that's why
they had me wake him up.

Tess, I packed an adrenaline
shot when we left the cabin.

- Have you seen it?
- No.

I need it.

It has to be here in
case I slip under.

Kevin?

I think I got stung by a bee.

What is this?

Don't move, Dr. Burkhoff!

- Tess.
- There's nowhere to go.

We've got this place surrounded.

Nobody fires.

He's not going anywhere.

Hey, Diana. Are you all right?

Tom.

Hold still, Burkhoff.

Put your hands up.

Burkhoff!

They won't be able
to hide for long.

Tess will run out of meds.

Dr. Burkhoff's not
exactly inconspicuous.

They'll show themselves,
we'll find them.

You mean we'll find Tess.

Doesn't sound like Dr. Burkhoff's
gonna live out the week.

I don't get it.

He was supposed to be the
father of 4400 technology.

That's why they woke him up.

Well, that's just our theory.

Maybe you're putting too
much faith in the future.

Diana's okay?

Yeah, she'll get there.

She's down in NTAC medical.

You got us a ride.

Someone let me borrow them.

Mr. Ryland wants a status
report on the promicin.

We're good. Great, actually.

We have enough of a stockpile to
last us for almost two years.
