All language subtitles for The 4400 - S04 E12 - Tiny Machines (720p BluRay)

The world will have
to deal with us.

Previously on The 4400:

You belong here in Promise
City with us, Kevin.

Since when did kidnapping become
part of this new religion of yours?

Promicin compatibility test would
be death to this movement.

I wish Jordan had buried
that stuff somewhere.

Just do me a favour, okay?
Just hold off for a while.

Curtis, what about
the conspiracy?

- What about the Marked?
- I just made the whole thing up.

They got you. They
bought you off.

There's a good chance the director
of national intelligence is marked.

- You don't feel any different, do you?
- You mean, am I one of the Marked?

Some kind of zombie
controlled by a future human?

- You're not Tom Baldwin, are you?
- Promicin is evil.

People who use it are evil.

The goal isn't to change the
world, it is to end it.

- You can stop them.
- What do we do now, Diana?

Well, we have to find a way to
get the real Tom Baldwin back.

With Tom, sometimes
I think he knows.

Like, I could be working a case
and I'll catch him staring at me

like he's studying me and trying
to figure out if I'm onto him.

I know, and we're supposed to be
acting like nothings changed.

I've been seeing the guy. Every time
he puts a hand on me, I have to...

keep myself from shivering.

We can't keep this up forever.

Sooner or later, he's gonna
figure out we know he's marked.

We have to find a way to get
rid of that thing inside him.

All that water.

It takes some getting
used to, huh?

They'll just pollute it.

They don't know what to do
with the resources they have.

Isabelle is in Promise City.

As soon as she gets close
to Collier, she'll move.

She knows not to damage him, right?
Good.

There's one other thing I
need you to take care of.

A potential loose end.

Your partner's daughter.
Maia Skouris.

If she has the wrong vision
at the wrong time...

Could complicate things.

I'll handle it.

But we don't even know how
they make someone marked,

never mind how you'd get one of
those things out of somebody.

Without more information, I
don't know what we can do.

There is someone who knows more
about the Marked than we do.

Feel like a trip to Canada?

Cut. Print.

- Perfect.
- Curtis, I think we need to go again.

There was a shadow
on the dead guy...

Don't worry about it.
We'll fix it in post.

I'm gonna be in my trailer,
light the next shot.

I gotta make some
tweaks to this scene.

Phil. Great job, Phil.

Hello, Curtis.

Sit down. We have some
questions for you.

- About what?
- What camera lens you're using.

What do you think, Curtis? We
wanna talk about the Marked.

I already told you guys.
I made all that up.

The Marked aren't real.

I have to work.

If you wanna watch me, I can
get you some headphones.

You're not going back
to work anytime soon.

Now, all we need you to do is tell
us how to kill one of those things.

You guys shouldn't even be here.
It's not safe.

I'm pretty sure people are
watching me all the time.

So you do admit the
Marked are real.

This is simple. Tell us what we
wanna know and we'll be gone.

Curtis, how do you get one of
those things out of somebody?

Look, I'm not even sure you can.
I burned my screenplay.

But there was this one
scene I was writing.

They were marking Matthew Ross.

They had to put some kind of
weird fluid into his spine.

I think that's how
they take people over.

The characters I was writing,

they kept talking about these
tiny machines inside the fluid.

Tiny machines? What
does that mean?

Look, I'm a filmmaker.
I'm not a scientist.

All by yourself?

Yeah. I like it here
in the morning.

It is pretty.

What's your name?

Sophia.

What can you do?

What makes you special, Sophia?

You know how we
have five senses?

I can play with them.

I can make whichever ones I
want stronger or weaker.

So if you want to, you could
make someone blind or deaf?

Sophia, why don't you
come along with me?

Shawn, this is Sophia.
She's so nice.

She's going to help us out.

All right. Think you've
gathered enough people now.

You know where they're
holding Kevin?

Let's go get him before
everyone wakes up.

Ready to get out of here, Kevin?

It's good you came.

They wouldn't give me
any sunflower seeds.

I found that agitating.

- Hey, Maia.
- Hey, Tom.

- What are you doing?
- Just walking to the bus stop.

- Where's my mom?
- You know, I'm working solo today.

Diana told me she had an
errand she needed to run.

You know, I'm heading your way.
Do you want a lift?

- Sure.
- Great.

Kind of weird, huh? How we just
saw each other on the street.

Well, to be honest, Maia,
it wasn't a coincidence.

I... I wanted to talk
to you about your mom.

- Is something wrong?
- It's probably nothing.

But she's been acting
funny at work.

I think she's under a lot of stress.
Have you noticed anything?

Not really. I guess she's
been working hard.

She talks to your new
boss all the time.

She even comes over here
at night sometimes.

Really?

Hey, do you think I could
have ice with this soda?

- Oh yeah, sure.
- Thanks.

What about visions, Maia?

Have you seen anything
unusual lately?

- No.
- Anything at all?

- No, just... Just little stuff.
- Yeah?

Thanks.

Cheers.

I don't remember the last
time I had a root beer.

It's good.

Well, Maia, I guess
it's probably nothing.

But do me a favour, though.

You know, don't tell your mom
we had this little talk.

I don't want her to think that
I'm all worried about her.

Okay.

- Are you feeling tired, sweetie?
- A little.

Hey, why don't you take a nap?
I can let myself out.

Okay. Okay.

- See you.
- See you.

It's done.

I gave the girl a massive
dose of the inhibitor.

She won't be having any visions
for a couple of weeks.

I want this to be fast.

We need to be in and
out of the Centre

as quickly as Shawn got
into Promise City.

Ground floor...

in the back. There's a foyer
that opens onto the rose garden.

Both teams split up inside the foyer.
One west, one east.

What's going on? Why does he have
bodyguards around him all day?

Shawn came into Promise City
this morning with another 4400.

They took Kevin Burkhoff.

You're not gonna
hurt him, are you?

Shawn needs to learn to
stay out of our way.

Things are gonna get...

crazy around here for a while.

I gotta get back in there. I'll
come find you later, okay?

Okay?

Curtis Peck dropped out of school
in 10th grade. It's safe to assume

he doesn't have much grounding
in the scientific method.

But when he talks about tiny
machines in someone's spinal fluid,

there's only one thing
Curtis could mean.

- Nanites.
- Nanotechnology.

That's right. Machines built
at the molecular level.

- Tiny machines.
- Wait a second.

So I haven't read the last couple
issues of Scientific American,

but as far as I know,
nanites are theoretical.

- They don't exist.
- Not yet.

Not that we know of, anyway.

Look, when someone's marked, one
personality takes over another, right?

So how does that happen?
Nanites.

Somehow, the personality
of the future guy

is encoded in these
little machines.

They're injected into
someone's cerebrospinal fluid

and they replicate.

Once there's enough of them...

- You're marked.
- So how do you destroy nanites?

I have no idea. I mean, officially,
nobody's even built them yet,

much less worried about how
to get them out of somebody.

Tom, hey.

Hey, guys.

Garrity said you were all down here.
I figured I'd join the party.

You said you had that
real-estate thing.

- I didn't know you were back.
- Yeah, I saw the place in Lynwood.

We're just debating the
pros and cons of suburbia.

That guy looks stressed.
Guess he's a city dweller.

Yeah, they were here
when we got down here.

- Where have you been?
- Just case work.

We've been hearing rumours about
a promicin-distribution network

out at Northmount College.
Just poking around.

Well, I'd better get upstairs.

Look, it all comes down to whether you
wanna put up with the long commute.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jordan is nothing
if not persistent.

It won't be long before
he comes back on us.

Maybe we should leave. He won't
hurt Shawn if we're not here.

No, no, no. You're
not going anywhere.

Collier's proved he can find
you no matter where you are,

so this place is as good as any.

We have 4400s here who
believe in what we're doing.

Even people who have taken the shot.
They're willing to protect you.

So whatever Collier's planning,
we'll be ready for him.

- Shawn? I'm sorry to interrupt...
- It's okay.

But your brother and your
mother are waiting downstairs.

Okay, I'll be right back. Okay?

Hey, Mom. Hey, Danny.

I know we don't have
an appointment,

but I was out for coffee with your
brother and I figured we'd stop by.

Well, good. I'm glad, I...

It's good to see you guys.
It's just right now...

It's not a good time?
See, I told you.

I know I always say that.

It's just, really, right
now is a really bad time.

Okay, I get it.

I just wanted to look at you.

I will come by this weekend.
We'll have dinner.

Good. I'll have my
people call your people.

Oh, okay. All right. I'll
be waiting for that call.

I'll be there in a minute.
Okay, Mom?

Joanna, could you just
give us a second?

- Sure.
- Thanks. Bye, Mom.

- So saw you on the news.
- Yeah.

You were talking about this
promicin compatibility test.

- Yeah, we're working on it.
- I wanna take it.

Shawn, I've had that shot
sitting around for months now.

I figured I'd never take it. But this
test changes everything, you know?

I could find out whether
it's safe or not.

It's... The test isn't
really ready yet, Danny.

Yeah, but it's close, right?

I'm just looking for a rough
idea of what my odds might be.

Well, no school
for you tomorrow.

You have a temperature of 101.

- When did you start feeling bad?
- This afternoon.

Oh, honey.

Well, at school?

No.

On the bus ride home.

Well, here. You take these.

Then we'll take your temperature
again in the morning.

Who's that?

Hey, sorry to drop
by unannounced,

but I just had a two-hour phone call
with a guy in my graduate class.

- Yeah.
- He works at JPL now.

I asked him how you'd get an infection
of nanites out of someone's body.

- Yeah.
- At first he laughed at me.

What happened when
he got serious?

He said, theoretically,
it's possible.

Nanites, if they existed, would
have a molecular structure.

Which means their chemical
bonds can be broken.

- Okay, how?
- Here's where it gets a little dicey.

My friend said the only way you could
be sure all the nanites were destroyed

would be to expose someone to a
highly-radioactive substance.

Something like polonium.

How much radiation?

About 50 nanograms
would do the job.

- Tom would die.
- I know.

If we really wanna kill
that thing inside him,

we're gonna have
to kill Tom too.

So Diana Skouris was
definitely a passenger

on your flight to
Vancouver yesterday.

Can you check to see if there was a
Meghan Doyle on that same flight?

She was. Thanks.

Hey, good morning.

- Good morning.
- Anything going on?

Yeah, actually.

We had a tip on that
college promicin case.

A student named
Penelope Rice called.

She said her Peace
Studies professor

had been lecturing in
favour of taking the shot.

Well, do you think he's been
supplying the students?

Well, I think it's worth taking a look.
You drive.

- Coming?
- Yeah.

- You had this CAT scan yesterday?
- Yeah.

Well, I had to drop Shawn's name to
get an appointment, but they took me.

You have a beautiful brain.

But I'm afraid you won't be able to
help me with the compatibility test.

- I don't understand. Why not?
- Doesn't matter.

He just told you you
can't take the shot.

No. No, that's not what I said.

At this point, the
test is almost ready.

I'm just narrowing down who
would live and who wouldn't.

I can already answer that for
90 percent of the population.

It's the middle 10 percent
that I'm focused on.

I have to find that exact dividing
line between death and survival.

You?

You're a statistical outlier.

Look for yourself.

You have a very prominent
corpus callosum.

One of the largest
I've ever seen.

- So my chances of survival are good?
- Excellent.

I'd say the shot poses virtually
no risk to you at all.

I knew it.

You hear that? I've got a very
prominent corpus callosum.

I'm not stalling.

Collier's been surrounded
by bodyguards all day.

I can't get anywhere near him.

- I'm having a hard time believing that.
- It's true.

Besides, I don't even know
if I can hurt Collier,

let alone walk out
of here with him.

Trust me. You can do what
you want to Collier.

If he told you otherwise,
he was bluffing.

You're forgetting
how strong you are.

Or maybe you're just
dragging your feet.

Maybe you like to pretend you can
be friends with those people.

Your time in Promise
City meant something.

- It did.
- Did it mean more to you

than your father does?

You need to get this done.
You have 24 hours.

What's up?

It's nothing important.
Just family stuff.

Your student informant
was a wash.

She called NTAC because
she's mad at her professor.

He gave her a C
for the semester.

We could go talk to the guy. It
wouldn't hurt to ask some questions.

Like what? Why are you
such a tough grader?

No, I think we should head back. I
have to leave a little early today.

Oh, my God. You're one of them.

- You were marked.
- Is that what they told you?

- Is what who told me?
- Skouris. Doyle.

- I know they were here.
- I just wanna finish my movie.

If I wanted you dead, you'd
have been gone a long time ago.

We just need to go
over what they said.

Did they tell you I'm marked?

No, they didn't
mention you at all.

They just asked me how to get
rid of one of those things.

If there's a way to take
a Mark out of somebody.

So they're gonna try
to save Tom Baldwin.

I don't know, but it's got
nothing to do with me.

- I didn't tell them anything.
- Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. I'm not mad, Curtis.

We just have to be
thorough, that's all.

What else did they ask you?

Nothing. That's all
we talked about.

Okay. Okay.

Can I go home now?

Now, I told you, I
didn't say anything.

- What are you doing?
- You're a filmmaker.

You should appreciate
what I'm about to do.

- Call it getting rid of a plot hole.
- No!

Tom, what are you doing?

You scared me, Diana.

It's after midnight. Why
are you still here?

I was just down in the Theory
Room, and now I'm on my way out.

So, what's going on?

Oh, I'm just taking
some work home with me.

- That's... That's a lot of work.
- Yeah.

Well, have a good night, honey.

You know, Tom, I can't let
you leave with those files.

Why not?

Okay, there's some
sensitive stuff in here.

But it's you and me, Diana.

We take work home all the time.
It's no big deal, right?

You know, you're
just so bad at this.

I don't know what lessons you
took in bodysnatching school,

but you make a terrible Tom Baldwin.
You're so insincere.

Very funny, Diana. I'd
laugh, but it's late.

You're marked, Tom. I know it.
Meghan knows it.

Okay.

Just for a second,
let's pretend I am.

Do you have any idea
how hard it would be

to pretend you're someone
from this place?

You're all weak.

- Vacillating.
- We're human beings.

And I... I don't know how
we evolved into you.

Neither do I. Neither do I.

And look at you, Diana. You
have no idea what you want.

You've driven away every man
who's ever looked at you.

Look, your daughter hand-delivered
you a fiancé by prophecy,

and you couldn't
even hold on to him.

The longest relationship
you've ever had with a guy?

It's with me.

Your good old
buddy, Tom Baldwin.

I am friends with him.

And I'm not even gonna
ask him to apologise

once I've burned you out of him.

You should get some rest, Diana.

- You're starting to sound delusional.
- Put the files down now, Tom.

Diana, what...?

Fine.

Isabelle, what are
you doing here?

You never came to see me.

Oh, sorry. I got
tied up with Jordan.

Are you okay?

I don't wanna be alone tonight.

Oh, it's okay. You
can stay here.

And I don't wanna talk either.

Are you sure you don't
want me to call a doctor?

I'm fine, Marco.

I just got a call from
the Vancouver Police.

Curtis Peck was found murdered
a couple of hours ago.

- God.
- They're thinking it was a robbery.

I gave them no reason
to believe otherwise.

God knows what he's
gonna do next.

Hey, I don't wanna ratchet
up the pressure or anything,

but if we're gonna cure Tom,
we're gonna have to do it fast.

My guy was able to give
me a sample of polonium,

but it degrades quickly. In a
couple days, it'll be useless.

Tom knows we're onto him. There's
no way he's coming back to NTAC.

We have to find a way
to lure him to us.

Well, I always hated needles.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I feel fine, actually.

Well, that doesn't mean
you're free and clear.

We gotta keep an eye
on you for a while.

Okay.

I better feel good.

You're just wondering what
ability you're gonna get.

Well, the world could always
use another healer, right?

Kyle.

Kyle, wake up.

Hey.

How did you sleep?

I've been awake all night.

I have to go.

It's time.

Time for what?

You're gonna go to
sleep for a while.

And when you wake up,
everything's gonna be different.

What are you talking about?

I want you to know all the things
I've felt for you are real.

This is the only real
friendship I've ever had.

Isabelle, are you okay?

For a while there I
believed you'd changed.

So did I.

Maia.

Oh, honey, you need to get up.

How are you feeling?

- A bit better.
- Okay.

- I just don't think I can go to school.
- Oh, that's okay.

But you need to get dressed,
we need to pack you a bag

because we're going
someplace for a while.

Where?

Well, just a hotel.

- What happened to your eye?
- Oh, well, it's... I'm okay.

We're just gonna go to a place
because it's not safe here.

Now, I don't wanna frighten
you, but it's... It's Tom.

He's just got something bad inside
him and he's just not himself.

All right?

So come on. I need
you to get going.

I don't understand.

That's what Tom said about you.

What?

When?

A couple of days ago, he
picked me up at school.

A couple of days ago?

That was right before you
started feeling sick, right?

Wake him up.

What do you want with me?

Hello, Jordan.

Looks like you and I will be
working together after all.

It won't do you any
good to kill me.

The movement's too strong.
It'll go on without me.

Who said anything
about killing you?

This is a sedative.

We're not gonna make you a
martyr to your cause, Jordan.

We're gonna make you
a traitor to it.

You're gonna go to
sleep for a while,

and when you wake up, there's
gonna be something inside you.

And in time, you're gonna come
to think exactly the way we do.

You'll be a brand-new
Jordan Collier.

A man concerned with protecting the
future instead of destroying it.

You forget. I've seen
the world you created.

In the oceans were deserts of bone.
Fires filled the horizon.

And everywhere I walked,
there was screaming.

We inherited that world.

And we managed to survive.
And even prosper.

All you people did was build
a wall to hide behind

while the rest of the
planet died around you.

It doesn't matter what you do.

You'll never get
your future back.

The world is turning positive.

You're right, Jordan.
We're helpless.

But you're not.

You can take promicin
out of people.

You can turn positives
into negatives.

Your ability, Jordan.
That's how we're gonna win.

Once you're marked, you're gonna
gather all your followers around you

and then, one by one, you're
gonna take their abilities away.

And you're not gonna stop until
you rid the world of promicin.

Oh, look. Jordan Collier
has nothing to say.

You have to admire the symmetry.

You're gonna single-handedly
destroy the movement you created.

You lied to me.

You told me that we needed Isabelle.
You said she'd changed.

I said you had to bring her to Collier.
She was a part of all this, and she is.

She's doing what she has to do.
You need to do the same.

How? Jordan's gone.
Everything is falling apart.

You can't let that happen.

Somebody has to be in
charge of Promise City now.

Me?

- Hello?
- Tom, it's me, Maia.

Maia, hi.

- Is everything all right?
- I don't think so.

It's my mom. I'm worried about her.
She's acting weird.

- Weird how?
- She took me to this hotel.

She said that there's
something wrong with you.

It's not true, Maia.

I'm sorry she told you that.
What else did she say?

Nothing.

Don't get mad.

But when you came to see me,
I didn't tell the truth.

I did have a vision last week.

You and my mom were in it.
It was bad.

It's okay, Maia. Whatever it
is, it hasn't happened yet.

Just tell me what you saw.

My mom, she had a gun. And
you guys were arguing.

Then she shot you.

I didn't say anything
when you came to see me,

because I didn't think
it could come true.

But now I'm not so sure.

Where did this happen, Maia?
I need details.

I couldn't tell.

She'll be so mad if she
knew I was calling you.

Be careful, okay? And please,
don't do anything to hurt her.

Just tell me what the place
looked like. Just...

You missed lunch.

I did?

Is it still day?

It's 3:00 in the afternoon.

Kevin, I know you're
busy with your test,

but it seems, ever since Shawn
healed me, I never see you anymore.

Are you avoiding me?

Actually, yes.

- As much as possible.
- Why?

Because you're healthy now.

And you're young.

And I'm not exactly
either of those things.

You don't need me to take
care of you anymore,

so I'm trying to give you space.

Kevin, how could you be so
brilliant and so clueless?

Why would I want space?

Where am I gonna
find another you?

Well, I suppose that
would be a challenge.

I'd like you to go visit
your grandniece again.

It's not safe here anymore.

I'm a target, and as long as
you're with me, you will be too.

And when this is over,

when I perfect the test,

I'll come find you.

- How do I know that you will?
- How could I not?

Where would I find another you?

Don't move, Tom.

Put the gun down, or
I will shoot you.

Meghan, please.

Meghan, honey, it's me.

Please, you have to help me.

This thing inside me,
I'm trying to fight it.

But it hurts. It hurts.
Sometimes it hurts so much.

Get down on the floor and put
your hands behind your head.

Oh, God.

Tom, freeze. Freeze, Tom!

Hey, man.

Watch it.

You doing, you idiot?

Careful.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Do you think your brother
looks a little thin? Tired?

I'm worried about him.

Mom, I didn't come here
to talk about Shawn.

There's something
I wanna tell you.

I took the shot.

Mom, it worked out. I'm fine.

I was afraid you would.

As soon as I heard about that
test your brother is working on,

I knew you'd be first in line.

Mom, this is a good thing.

The world is changing. There
are miracles out there.

- I'm gonna be a part of it now.
- Just like your brother is part of it.

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, why should he have
a gift and not me, right?

Mom, you okay?

Mom? Mom what's wrong?
Mom, Mom, Mom.

Someone help, please.
Mom, Mom, no!

- Where'd he go?
- I guess he went around back.

Don't move.

Drop the gun.

Don't make me shoot you.

You gonna fix me, Diana?

Gonna get your old Tom back?

How do you think
that'll help things?

I'm a better NTAC agent
now than I've ever been.

- Ever since I re-evaluated...
- Put your hands in the air.

Keep them where I can see them.

Okay, okay.

I've made more progress against
Jordan Collier and promicin

than we made in a year.

We're winning now, Di.
Isn't that what you want?

Not like this.

You killed Curtis Peck.

You put my daughter on the inhibitor.
My daughter, Tom.

You still call me by that name.

Deep down, you must know we're still
partners. That we're on the same side.

Tell you what I'm
gonna do now, Diana.
