Shawn quotes from The 4400

Beautiful, aren't they? I wonder if that's where we were.

What's everybody doing here?

What are you doing here?

I don't know, just wanted to see where we came back, I figured it'd be a good place to come and think, you know, clear my head.

Most people come for the conversation.

Well there's not a lot of that going on.

This is the spot?

Yeah. Me and 4,399 of my closest friends popped out of a ball of light right about here.

It's so pretty. I wonder why they sent you back here. I mean, why not on the White House lawn, or... in the middle of Times Square?

I don't know. Maybe they appreciate a good view.

Maia

I know who you are. You're the one who fixes people.

Yeah. I'm Shawn.

Maia

How come you're in here? Why don't you just make yourself better?

I wish I could.

They're broken. Kind of like the rest of me.

Maia

I used to see things. Stuff that was gonna happen. That's gone now, too.

It's funny, huh? When I found out I was different, all I wanted to do was be normal again.

Maia

Me, too.

But you get used to it. Now that it's gone, I feel like I'm missing an arm.

Maia

It'll come back. Once we get better.

Any idea when that's gonna be?

Maia

Not exactly, but my mom told me everything's gonna be fine. And I believe what she says.

That must be a nice feeling.

Maia

Don't you have someone to believe in?

I used to, but now I guess I'm just gonna have to believe in you.

I have to offer you a word of caution. The cigar. When you smoke it, you might be surpised by its effects.

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

Alright, I'll ask the question. What are we gonna do with 17,432 units of Promicin?

Jordan

We're going to give it away.

To whom?

Jordan

To everyone.

Tom

This isn't just a plan. It's a revolution. You realize that, don't you? Handing out promicin like candy changes everything, Shawn. Nobody will be able to enforce the law. It'll be chaos!

Diana

Nobody can predict what's gonna happen once people everywhere start developing abilities!

Tom

You need to tell us where he's keeping this stuff.

I don't get you guys. All along you've been saying we're on the same side, no matter what our differences are. That our goals are the same; for things to change, get better. Now a man is back from the dead to show us how to get there, and you two wanna stop him. You know what? You can't! Our phone lines have been jammed up all morning. People are dyin to know how they can get their hands on the shot.

Tom

So what do you tell them?

I tell them that we have nothing to do with it. And then I wish them good luck.

Who knows, man? You could become mayor, maybe even governor.

Just one step at a time. I don't even know if I can get elected to city council.

You heal people with your hands. Show me an opponent who can beat that.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you without the cameras. When you put your public face up for the night, have a look at your eyes. I have reason to believe that you're capable of terrible things and that you have an evil living inside of you.

What if you did see evil? Then what?

Honestly, I don't know what I would do, but the truth is I can't see anything. You may be full of fear and hatred, but you're just a man for now. Listen, you may not know it yet, you wouldn't make a very good leader. I'm not gonna let you become one.

What's your alternative? Do you really want the entire world to take promicin?

Jordan

Yes. Yes, I do. It's what I've always said has to happen.

Half of the planet will die! You're talking about mass suicide!

Jordan

I am talking about a single generation of sacrifice. And at the end of it, a more fully-evolved species. All of our failings as human beings will be addressed when we are all gifted. I am not making any announcement. And no one who cares about what's right for the world would.
