All language subtitles for The 4400 - S03 E10 - The Starzl Mutation (720p BluRay)

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

The world will have
to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400:

Okay, we're clear, right? It's
over between the two of us.

You once told me that good
and evil was a choice.

And I'm afraid if I lose you, I'm
going to make the wrong one.

Welcome to Haspel Corp.
How may I help you?

Hi, I have an appointment
with Dennis Ryland.

Learning anything new?

Yeah, she's incredible.

In a week, we've
made discoveries

we thought it would
take years to get to.

Isabelle, I don't love you.

Shawn, you and I are the two most
powerful people on the planet.

We have to get married.

I knew she was different.
Dangerous.

You can't kill me, Shawn.

Richard, if I believe that
staying with Isabelle

would save all those lives,
I would marry her tomorrow.

But what happens if
she gets tired of me

or I make her angry?

There are things I was sent here to do.
Brutal things.

I don't know how you know that,
but it doesn't have to happen.

We need to be together,

because I think you're the
only one who can stop me.

Looking for a date?

Not you.

Him.

Tim, you got a customer.

So it's 40 bucks if you
want to get started.

I just wanna look at
you for a second.

Do you have any idea
how special you are?

You don't, do you?

Look, we can talk if you want
to, but it's still 40 bucks.

Timothy Winters McCarren.

You're going to
change the world.

How'd you know my name?

It's true.

You're gonna change everything.

Unless I stop you.

That's it, I'm out of here.

Come on, man, let me out.
I'm serious.

I rolled that myself.

It's my way of saying thank you
for inviting me to your wedding.

Thank you.

But you didn't have to. Isabelle
and I invited every 4400.

I wouldn't have missed it.

I'm quite excited.

You must be too. The
ceremony's so close.

Four days.

I have to offer you
a word of caution.

This cigar, when you smoke it, you
might be surprised by its effects.

Oh, I'm not gonna get arrested
for having this, am I?

Of course not.

About a year after we returned,
I learned I have an ability.

When I come in contact
with a person,

they sometimes see a
vision of their future.

I see nothing, understand.
Only those I touch.

But I'm told it can
be quite accurate.

Kind of a nice talent.

Thank you.

I grew this tobacco myself. It's
been in contact with my hands.

And so it contains my ability.

Wait, so, what you're saying
is, if I smoke this cigar,

I'm gonna see the future?

Your future. A
possible one, anyway.

As I said, use with caution. You
might not like what you see.

But it seems an appropriate gift
for a man on his wedding day.

Well, it is better than a toaster oven.
Thank you, Claudio.

My congratulations to you.

The centrepieces are amazing.
You should take a look.

Yeah, sure,

after we're done with these
meet-and-greets though, okay?

Oh, you're taking up smoking?

This is Edwin Garrett
and his wife Denise.

They came from
Edinburgh to be here.

Thank you so much for coming.

The guy's name was Tim McCarren.

He was a hustler.

Worked an area of the
park not far from here.

I found his body
just after sunrise.

Now, I've already
interviewed his colleagues,

and they say he got into a pickup
truck with a man in his 20s

at about 1:30 last night.

One of the other working boys got
a decent look at the driver.

You could probably sit him
down with a sketch artist.

We could, but you do realize
we're not homicide cops, right?

We're from NTAC. So
Why'd you call us?

That's why.

My best guess? This body
was completely oxidized.

It's a chemical reaction. Cells
change at the molecular level.

Well, oxidizing, that's what
happens when metal rusts.

Exactly.

Well, almost exactly.
Rusting is a slow process.

There's nothing gradual about
what happened to Tim McCarren.

One minute he was
alive, the next...

Have you ever seen
anything like this before?

No. There's no documented disease
that affects the human body this way.

- Meaning a 4400 ability did this.
- That's for you to figure out.

All I can tell you is

there's no earthly explanation
about what happened to this guy.

Thanks.

So nothing even close?

Okay, thanks, Brian.
That was the lab.

They ran the composite
sketch of the driver

against their database of 4400s.

- No matches.
- Anything from forensics?

No. Well, they pulled a couple of
partial prints off the safety pin

that held the note
to the kid's jacket.

But nothing we can
make an ID from.

Okay, what about the note?

It's a deliberate message
to whoever found the body.

That's typical of a
serial-killer pathology.

Yeah, but it says 27.

There can't be 26 other corpses
like Tim McCarren's out there.

Even one would make
it onto our radar.

So we'll talk to McCarren's
friends, families.

Maybe he's got a
connection to a 4400.

Diana, there is one other thing
I wanna talk to you about.

You got plans on Sunday?

You want me to go to
Shawn's wedding with you?

It's not a date, okay? I figured
you might be interested.

Almost a thousand
4400s are coming.

Oh, so it's a
professional courtesy.

Yeah, that's one way to put it.

Look, to be honest,

I'd rather not be the only one
sitting at the NTAC table.

You'd have a hard time
finding a dance partner.

Look, you know, Maia begged
me to go, and I told her no.

All those 4400s in one place, we
have no idea what could happen.

Diana, it's Shawn and Isabelle,
nobody's gonna cause any trouble.

I mean, would you wanna be
on the bride's bad side?

I can't imagine you're eager to
welcome that girl into the family.

I'm not.

This all happened a little
too quickly for my liking.

But Shawn won't talk to me about it.
I must have left him 20 messages.

I was thinking about going to see
him after we finish work today.

Just make sure Bridezilla
is out of earshot.

- I have to.
- Have to?

You're about to get married, Shawn.
You should want to.

- What's going on? Is she pregnant?
- No. No, nothing like that.

Is she forcing you?

Look, Shawn, if you're
feeling trapped,

if you're looking for
a way out of this,

just tell me, I can help.

Help? Uncle Tommy, I'm not
in front of a firing squad.

I'm getting married.
People do it all the time.

Come on, Shawn. You're
marrying Isabelle.

She's a very dangerous girl.
I happen to know that.

Okay, I know all about her too.

So don't think you're
gonna surprise me.

I appreciate you coming down here.
I know you mean well.

This marriage, it
is the right thing.

The right thing for who?

For everybody.

Man, they just cannot keep
anything working around here.

This always happens
when I work late.

You know, I don't even know where
the stairs are in this place.

Oh, right down here.
Come on, I'll show you.

So do you always work past 8?

Most nights, yeah. Trying
to get ahead, you know?

Dedication, I like that. You
could accomplish great things.

Her name was Paula Nakata.

She was a lawyer at a
firm in the building.

My God, the poor woman.

That's two bodies in
less than 24 hours.

It doesn't make any sense. Most
spree killers, they have a type.

But Tim McCarren and Paula Nakata
could hardly be more different.

A prostitute and a
corporate attorney.

Why would someone
target these two?

And why is she labelled 11?

The numbers on the bodies
are working backwards.

It looks like we might have a
partial print on the wedding band.

It's probably from the
victim, but you never know.

Let's hope whoever
did this slipped up.

Because I don't think he's
anywhere close to finished yet.

We were so close.

We were gonna save everything.

Isabelle changed you.

You don't even know
who you are anymore.

She didn't change me.

She showed me who I am.

I know myself better than ever.

And I know exactly what
has to happen here.

Don't do this.

Shawn.

Marco? Did you go
home last night?

No, I was working on your case.
It got late.

- Cold.
- We got a message

you wanted to talk to us?

Yeah, the print that they pulled

from Paula Nakata's
wedding band wasn't hers.

Does it match the one we found
on Tim McCarren's body?

It does indeed. The print belongs
to a man named Darren Piersahl.

Piersahl? I've never
heard of him.

I'm not surprised.
See, he is not a 4400.

Well, then he's not the murderer.
Marco, you saw both bodies.

A 4400 killed these people.

It certainly looks that way.

The fingerprint match
wasn't from our database.

It was from U.S.
military records.

Piersahl was an Army
Ranger for seven years.

- Was? What's he doing now?
- Not much.

According to Army records,
Darren Piersahl is dead.

He was killed in action
in Iraq in 2005.

I'm wondering,

how could an Army sergeant who's
supposedly been dead for a year

be using a 4400 ability to kill
people in present-day Seattle?

Darren always wanted
to be a Ranger.

It was his dream, ever since
he was old enough to read.

I encouraged it. I spent 20
years in the service myself.

So when Darren signed up it was
like carrying on the family legacy.

Why is NTAC so interested
in my son's death anyway?

It's part of an ongoing
investigation, Mr. Piersahl.

Please, anything you could
tell us would help.

Not long before he died, I
got a letter from Darren.

He was excited.

Said he'd been accepted into
this elite training unit.

He couldn't tell me much about it, just
that it meant he was being transferred

off the frontlines and
out of harm's way.

And he was killed in
action soon after that?

Two weeks later.

The Army told me he'd been
flying a recon mission

in an OH-58 helicopter.

Got hit by an RPG.

They never did find his remains.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Piersahl.

But you said the Army told you
he was flying a recon mission.

Did you have any
reason to doubt that?

Well, I thought the
timing was peculiar.

I mean, I'd just got this letter from
him saying he was done fighting.

So I did some checking.

There were six soldiers reported dead
in the crash that killed my son.

And why is that unusual?

Because an OH-58 flies
with a crew of four.

It can't hold six people.

A secret training programme?

A death under suspicious
circumstances?

There's something off here.
Even the kid's dad knows it.

It's weird, I'm not denying it.

But let's just take our
time with this, okay?

There are other explanations
that don't involve cover-up.

Someone could've planted Piersahl's
fingerprints at the crime scene.

Who knows? It could be a 4400,

someone who can mimic other
people's fingerprints.

Maybe, but if you're trying to frame
someone, why pick a dead man?

Baldwin. Where?

We'll be right in. They
just found another body.

I'll let you all in on a
little family secret.

My brother and I haven't
always seen eye to eye.

So we didn't talk for a while.
I went to college,

he became the most famous
person in the world.

But it's all good, because
he's a great guy.

And I'm really proud of him.
I think we all are.

So congratulations, man.

I couldn't be happier to
see you walk the plank.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Cheers.

Is there anything you'd
like to say, Daddy?

Toast. The father of the
bride wants to speak.

Shawn, Isabelle.

I have to say, I had my doubts.

But my daughter has
managed to overcome them.

She was determined to make
this marriage happen,

and here we all are.

Shawn, she couldn't have
picked a better partner.

I'm proud to call you my son.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So where are you guys
going on your honeymoon?

You know, we haven't really
figured that out yet.

If you'll all please excuse me.

Stay.

You keep charming the
in-laws, I'll see what's up.

Isabelle?

You saw me die? You're sure?

I killed you.

And, Richard, I swear to God, it
looked like I was enjoying it.

The whole reason I'm marrying Isabelle
is to keep her attached, normal.

That's not what happens.

I don't make her more human,
she makes me less human.

I have to try something.
I have to go,

I have to see if it
changes anything.

- Gonna walk out on the wedding?
- Maybe, I don't know.

I'm getting out of here, and
then I'm gonna see what happens.

If you leave now, it's not gonna
make Isabelle very happy.

- It might not be easy to come back.
- I know that.

But I have to do it.

Just tell them I'm
sick or something.

I'm sorry. Just tell
them something, okay?

Her name was Holly Martins. She
was a housewife in Madison Park.

- The pool man found her body.
- Was there a note?

Ninety-two?

How many people is
this guy targeting?

Guys, I figured out what all
these corpses have in common.

All the victims had
the same mutation?

We did a genetic workup
on all three corpses.

Every one of them has a slight
alteration of the 11th chromosome.

It's called the Starzl Mutation.

That could be a coincidence.

Not likely. The Starzl
Mutation's extremely rare.

The only documented cases
are in the Seattle area.

You see, there's two
kinds of mutations.

Some occur naturally.

You know, something goes wrong
when the body's building itself.

Others are induced.

The genes are changed
by external factors.

- And the Starzl Mutation is induced.
- That's right.

Starting in 1969, Seattle
Presbyterian Hospital

used a flawed radiation machine
to treat their cancer patients.

You know, the microswitches that
controlled the thing weren't working.

The dosages were all off.

- How long did this go on?
- Under five years.

Once the hospital figured
out what they were doing,

they tested everyone who had
ever been exposed to it.

In some cases, the radiation
induced a small mutation.

The Starzl Mutation.

Yeah, they named it after the
company that made the bad machine.

And the mutation's replicable.

You know, people who got it
passed it on to their kids,

which includes our
three victims.

They were living normal lives.
They were healthy.

Hey, just like most mutations, you
can have it and not even know.

After everything went public,
the lawyers came out to play.

There was a
class-action lawsuit.

Seattle Presbyterian
paid a huge settlement

to everyone who was
affected by the machine.

They almost went bankrupt.

So Darren Piersahl, who's
supposed to be dead,

is targeting carriers
of the Starzl Mutation,

which only occurs
around Seattle,

and has absolutely no
effect on its carriers.

Okay, but why?

Excellent question.

When you find out,
make sure you tell me.

If there was a lawsuit,
there's a paper trail.

I'll bet you that hospital keeps a
master list of everyone they paid.

- You okay? You okay?
- Shawn, you should stop healing me.

No, you're gonna
make it, Uncle Tom.

No, no, Shawn, I'm not.

This is all my fault.

I should never have talked you
out of marrying Isabelle.

No, that was my
decision, not yours.

I can't help thinking that it
didn't have to end this way.

Everyone we love is dead.

I'm sorry. The
catastrophe's here.

Hey, no, no, no. Hold
on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on.

No, let me go. Let
me go, let me go.

Save as many as you can, Shawn.

You're lucky. Until six weeks ago, I
hadn't pulled that file in years.

If you'd asked me then, it
would've taken me hours.

What happened six weeks ago?

Oh, some guy in a suit showed up.
Had a document with him

saying that the military needed the
file for research in the war on terror.

Yeah, there we go.

There it is. That's the master list of
everyone we paid in the Starzl case.

This man, can you
tell me his name?

Yeah.

Miles Enright.
Why, you know him?

Not yet.

There's 123 people here.

A hundred and twenty-three
we know have the mutation.

Numbers we've been finding
on the dead bodies

correspond to where they
appear on the list.

Number 27, Timothy McCarren.
Number 11, Paula Nakata.

And Holly Martin's 92.

So Darren Piersahl,
if he's the killer,

is working from the same
list we're holding.

But the order seems so random.

I mean, is he just killing
them as the opportunity arises

or is there some method?

I'll try and find a pattern.

Hey, how's Maia been?

She's okay.

She asks about you a lot.

Yeah?

I just checked out
Miles Enright.

He's the vice president of Research
and Development at Haspel Corp.

Dennis.

You've been ignoring our calls.

I'm busy, Tom.

Why don't you go
through my assistant?

- Maybe we can talk next week or so.
- It's important, Ryland.

It's about Darren Piersahl
and your company's programme

to create a division of the U.S.
military with 4400 abilities.

I don't know, Tom. I've been working
here less than three months.

I still don't know where
the supply closets are,

and now you've got me heading
up a covert programme

where I'm injecting promicin
into United States soldiers?

Six weeks ago, the vice president
of Research and Development

acquired a list of everyone
with the Starzl Mutation.

- Miles Enright. Maybe you know him?
- Sorry, it's a big building.

- I haven't shaken everybody's hand.
- Three people are dead.

Now, you need to tell us everything
you know about Darren Piersahl

so we can bring him in
before he kills anyone else.

I've never heard of him.

And I've certainly never heard
of this, what do you call it?

Starzl Mutation?

This is your last chance to
cooperate before we find Piersahl.

If you help us now, we'll make it look
better for your company later, Dennis.

Well, how can I help you when I have
no idea what you're talking about?

Now, if this
programme existed...

And please, understand
I'm not saying it does.

You seem to think that
people would be shocked

to know that it's out there.

Me, I think they'd be grateful.

I think any good citizen
would be thankful

that his government
was working on this.

Because you can be damned
sure our enemies are.

If everyone would be so happy,
why not just tell us about it?

As usual, you have no idea
of what the stakes are.

Whoever controls promicin
has a strategic advantage

over the rest of the world.

This is another
Manhattan Project, Tom.

And they didn't close it down

because a couple of technicians
got radiation poisoning.

They kept on working, and
they were right to do that.

It's made the world
a better place.

Not that you're admitting that
the programme exists, right?

What programme?

So if I go through with
it, if I marry Isabelle,

you and I become
enemies, I kill you.

If I don't do it, Richard,
things are even worse.

They're... People are dead.
A lot of people.

In the second vision, your uncle said
the catastrophe was here, right?

That place looked like a war zone.
What the hell am I supposed to do?

Look, you can only deal with
the information you have.

In one future, I die.

In another, it sounds
like thousands of people,

maybe millions, are at risk.

- That's no choice at all.
- We're talking about your life.

The guy said each vision
was one possible future.

If you do marry Isabelle, at least
we go into it with our eyes open.

Now that we know what could
happen, we can change things.

Nothing's inevitable, right?

Let's hope not.

Because believe me...

I don't wanna die.

Meet Staff Sergeant
John Shaffner.

Okay, so why are we meeting him?

He was one of six fatalities
in the helicopter crash

that "killed" Darren Piersahl.

- A helicopter that seated only four.
- Right.

It turns out John Shaffner's family
never received his remains either.

You know, there was really a
helicopter crash that day in Iraq,

but four families got their
kids' bodies back, two didn't.

Here's what I'm thinking...

Piersahl and Shaffner were recruited
into Haspel Corp's training programme

at the same time.

So they used the crash
to fake two deaths.

So that Piersahl and Shaffner

could disappear into the
programme with impunity.

So we have a second member of
Haspel Corp's programme. Great.

But it doesn't get us any
closer to Darren Piersahl.

Good point. It doesn't, really.

Not until... you look
at Shaffner's dog tags.

This is Shaffner's
military serial number.

Look familiar?

Should it?

Twenty-seven. That's what the note
we found on Tim McCarren said.

That's also where
we found his name

on the list of people
with Starzl Mutation.

Eleven. That was Paula
Nakata's number.

And Holly Martins was 92 on the list.
There is a pattern.

He's picking the order based
on his buddy's serial number.

Okay, but why?

Maybe it's a message. Maybe
they're doing it together.

But if he's consistent, the next victim
will be number 38 on the Starzl list.

Alex Messina.

I already checked him out. He
manages a bike store in Madrona.

Yeah. Yeah, I recognize him.

He was in here earlier today.

- Did he say anything to you?
- It was kind of weird, actually.

He asked me if my name
was Alex Messina.

And he said it like that.
You know, the full name.

He wanted to know if I could come
out and take a look at his bike.

He needed to replace a part, and
I told him just to bring it in.

He said he'd come back
when we were less busy.

Send a tactical team over right away.
Thanks.

If Piersahl makes a
move, we'll be ready.

Tom.

Must be from Piersahl.

Hey.

Do you like this colour?

This place needs to be a little more
girlie if I'm gonna be living here.

Yeah, it looks great.

I think so too.

I'm glad you're back.

If Piersahl knows we're onto him
he'll change his pattern of attack.

There's a dozen
people we can't find.

Hope we get to them
before Piersahl does.

Tom Baldwin?

Yeah, who's asking?

My name is John. John Shaffner.

I was a volunteer in the same
programme Darren Piersahl was in.

- The one that drove him crazy.
- Yeah, we know who you are.

- And we know about the programme.
- Good.

Then you're ready to
hear what I have to say.

We were volunteers, all of us.

I still remember
the sales pitch.

We'd be the elite, a
new type of soldier.

We had to give up our lives,
forfeit our identities.

They said it was the only way.

The programme had to operate
in complete secrecy.

When did you start
getting the injections?

Right away. Started slow,
but about three weeks ago,

they started upping our dosages.

- That's when guys started to lose it.
- Where did they get the promicin?

I don't know, but they seem
to have plenty of it though.

Darren was the first one who
could do stuff, you know?

An ability.

He killed one of the
instructors by mistake.

- It freaked him out.
- You two escaped together?

Once we got out, we pretty
much went our separate ways.

I had no idea he
was gonna do this.

So he's AWOL?

These murders aren't
sanctioned by anyone?

No, Darren's freelancing.

That's why they want him back so bad.
He's compromising the programme.

Our C.O.s, they told us
about the Starzl Mutation.

They told us it could be a threat, but
they never told us to kill anybody.

Then what is it?

Why does Darren want
them dead so badly?

Got something to do with babies.

So far, any time a 4400
has a kid with a member

of the regular population,
their babies are normal.

They don't make promicin,
they don't have abilities.

We know, we've been
tracking the births.

But the Starzl Mutation
changes all that.

If a 4400 has a kid with
someone who has the mutation,

the baby would be
promicin-positive.

- They'd have abilities.
- How would the military know that?

- Have they tried it?
- I don't know,

but they seem pretty
goddamn sure it's true.

I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but Darren is a victim here too.

They gave us so many stimulants.

They amped us up to
kill, and he snapped.

Don't know if he thinks he's
on a mission or something,

but I know he needs
to be stopped.

I'll do whatever I can
to help you find him.

So, what do you think you know?

Everything. Including
the Starzl Mutation.

And I have to give you credit.

If what you say is right,

it would explain why the
4400 were sent back in 2004.

Why they were all
brought to Seattle.

This is the only place the 4400 can
reproduce and have kids with abilities.

Any of this sound familiar?

I think I read the same theory
in a supermarket tabloid once.

We know about your enhanced
soldier programme, Dennis.

We have one of your people.

John Shaffner been showing up
for many roll calls lately?

Well, as soon as we have Piersahl,
we're going public with this,

and there's nothing you
can do to stop that.

All you can do is make yourself and
this company look slightly better

by cooperating with our
efforts to bring him in.

We want Piersahl's personnel file.
Everything you have.

If it's not in my
hands in 90 seconds,

John Shaffner will be standing in front
of a bank of cameras before lunch.

This could be something. Maybe.

It reads like some kind
of personal statement.

An essay by Piersahl.

Yeah, we had to do those
to get in the programme.

They wanted us to write about
some goal we achieved,

something we were proud of.

This is all about a volunteer
programme that he did.

There was a patch of forest
that got cleared by a fire.

Piersahl volunteered to renew
it so that he could become a...

Darren Piersahl was
an Eagle Scout?

Yeah, he used to talk about
those woods all the time.

When we were in the
middle of the programme,

whenever things got really bad,

he used to tell me that's
where he'd go in his head.

He'd imagine himself
there, it calmed him down.

This patch of forest, any
chance you know where it is?

Maybe you could put your
arm around her, Mr. Tyler.

That's great.

The magazine wants to get a
shot of the bride and groom.

Has anyone seen the groom?

Who gave you the key?

Your own bodyguard.

You started a war, Richard.

You turned the
4400 into an army,

and you launched an
attack for no reason!

We didn't have a choice.

It had to be a
pre-emptive strike.

No choice. Look
what you're doing.

Look at it. It has to stop.

Isabelle changed you.

You don't even know
who you are anymore.

She didn't change me.

She showed me who I am.

I know myself better than ever.

And I know exactly what
has to happen here.

Don't do this.

Shawn...

Shawn.

Sorry to barge in on
you, it's just...

They need you down in the garden.
Pictures.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

I'm just...

a little overwhelmed.

Darren?

Darren.

Darren, you out here?

What are you doing here?

Darren, relax, man.
It's me, Shaffner.

John, we're friends, remember?

Shaff.

You came. That's good.

That's good, I need your help.

I'm never gonna make it all the
way through this list on my own.

Darren, you don't have to finish the list.
It's someone else's agenda.

You got it all mixed up in your head.
Come on with me,

there's people I want you to talk to.
They can help us.

They? Who are they?

It's gotta stop, man. Please.

Come with me.

- No. No.
- Wait.

We got people covering the
access road, we'll pin him down.

Fanout!

Oh, Jesus. Tom!

I can't see anything.

Tom.

Tom!

Tom?

We lost Shaffner,
Piersahl's dead.

He was on his way out before
we even started fighting.

Piersahl had a stab
wound in his stomach.

I guess Shaffner didn't
go down without a fight.

Yeah. Well, they're both gone.

And there's no one left to
talk about the programme.

We still have evidence.

We can go after Haspel Corp.
Expose everything.

Yeah, but it would have been nice
to have a face to put out there.

Now all we have are accusations
and a paper trail.

And five dead bodies.

Hey, you guys gotta see this.

We are proud to
announce the existence

of this enhanced-soldier
programme to all the world,

but it should not, in any way, be
seen as an offensive manoeuvre.

We have evidence suggesting other
countries have similar programmes.

This is merely a response.

The young men I'm about to introduce
to you have been working in secret,

and we've made
numerous advances.

In time, they'll become
the first non-4400s

to develop extra-human
abilities, and they'll use them

in the defence of
the United States.

Now I'd like to introduce
eight heroic young men,

all of whom have given
so much of themselves

to make this
breakthrough possible.

Ryland's pre-empting us.

Trotting them out there on-stage
like they're the first astronauts.

Major Jeremy Elwood. First
Lieutenant Raymond Garcia.

First Lieutenant Jeff Rice.
First Lieutenant Brian Dawson.

Second Lieutenant James Noland.

Second Lieutenant Dirk Danoff.

The press conference was
a clever move, Dennis.

I have to give credit
where it's due.

But this company has five
bodies on its hands.

And I'm gonna make sure
everyone knows it.

Knows what? We're not
denying anything.

It's unfortunate that one
of my men went AWOL,

but he was clearly deranged.

And I've got a whole team of doctors
standing by to testify to that effect.

You created an assassin.

It's a tragedy.

And it's news, I'll admit that.

But tomorrow morning,
the Piersahl case

will be below the fold
on every newspaper.

And all the headlines will
be about our programme.

That's the way I see it, anyway.

Wait, who's feeding
you your information?

You knew about the Starzl
Mutation before we did.

You have a source of
promicin for your programme.

Who is it?

You give me too
much credit, Tom.

That stuff happens way above
my security clearance.

The soldiers you're creating,

are you really gonna use
them to defend the country?

Or are you just gonna
send them after the 4400?

Is there a difference?

Enjoy your nephew's wedding.

You sure you're ready for this?

Come on, you look ready.

Let's do this.

Hello there.

Thanks for coming. Thanks, kids.

Thank you for coming so much.
Thank you for being here.

Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you.

Thank you for coming so far.
Thank you.

I appreciate your coming all this way.
Thank you so much.

Shawn. Shawn Farrell.

Do you know who I am?
