Episode 102
"THE NEW AND IMPROVED CARL MORRISSEY"
By
Ira Steven Behr
PRESENT
Carl, one of the 4400, is working in the fishmongers section
of a supermarket. A woman enters
MRS MARTINO
What looks good today, Carl?
CARL
I have a white fish with your name on
it, Mrs Martino.
MRS MARTINO
When you were gone, in 18 months,I haven't
got a decent piece of fish. You...you
take care of me. You are such a sweetheart.
CARL
Oh, it's easy being nice to you.
MRS MARTINO
Tell me, how does it feel to be back?
CARL
It's OK. It's good It's like I never
left.
BOSS
What do you think you're doing out there?
CARL
I was helping a customer.
BOSS
Rosie can help a customer. Derek can
help a customer. I told you to stock
the display cases.
CARL
But I've known Mrs Martino since I was
a kid.
BOSS
And I'm supposed to care? Now, get that
flounder on ice.
Carl picks up his wife from outside a cinema
GRACE
So how'd it go today?
GRACE
Slow as usual.It's the neighbourhood.
It's not like it used to be.
CARL
It's not that bad.
GRACE
It's gotten worse since you were away.
CARL
I don't see it.
GRACE
You don't want to see it.
CARL
OK, I admit it. It's not like when we
were kids.
GRACE
No one cares about the place any more.There's
no pride.There's no sense of community.
CARL
I didn't know you were so unhappy.
GRACE
I'm not unhappy.I got you back, didn't
I? I got nothing to complain about.
CARL
Yeah.
She smells the fish on him
GRACE
Oh.
CARL
Oh, I'm sorry. Fish smell.
GRACE
I don't mind.
CARL
:I'll hop in the shower as soon as we
get back. Hey. Let's cut across the
park.
GRACE
The park? Nobody goes into Bradley Park.
No.
CARL
Yeah? Sure they do. How do you think
I got here?
GRACE
It's not safe. There's nothing but lowlifes
and junkies in there.
CARL
Grace, I5 years ago I proposed to you
in this park.
GRACE
I5 years ago I was a size 2 and you
had your hair down to your shoulders.Things
change. From now on, you take the long
way around.
CARL
Grace, I just wish that you'd....
Some boys are playing baseball in the street behind him. They
bat the ball and it flies through the air at great speed. He
can't see it, but his hand comes out and stops it, anyway.
CARL
......stop worrying.Marry me, Gracie.
GRACE
Of course I will.
One night Carl takes a short cut through the park. Some youths
stop him
YOUTH I
Yo, what are you doing in our park,
man?
CARL
Your park?
YOUTH 2
Just give up your wallet.
CARL
You're mugging me?
YOUTH I
Now you're catching on. Seven bucks!
CARL
It's all I have.
They attack him and he fights them easily, knocking both to the
ground with great speed
Titles
Ryland, Tom and Diana are at Homeland Security watching Maia
on tape
RYLAND
The complaints started after her foster
parents brought her back to quarantine
last week.
DIANA
What kind of complaints?
RYLAND
Well, for instance, yesterday, Maia
spoke to an employee in the cafeteria.
She told her that her daughter would
be in the hospital soon, but would be
Ok.Then the little girl was in a car
accident.
DIANA
So you're saying what,she's got some
kind of second sight?
RYLAND
I have five stories just like that one.
TOM
Why hold a little girl for 60 years
and then send her back able to predict
the future?What were they thinking?
DIANA
We don't know if there is a they.
TOM
:He, she it, take your pick.
RYLAND
Let's leave that for the team in the
theory room.
TOM
When they're not playing video games.
DIANA
That's why they're intimidated.They
feel your hostility.
TOM
Good.
RYLAND
I wouldn't worry too much about the
big brains.Just talk to that girl.
Tom and Diana leave Ryland's office
Maia is drawing in an interview room, when Tom and Diana enter.
Tom sit's at the table with her, while Diana stands by the window.
TOM
Thanks.
MAIA
I never meant to scare anyone.
TOM
We know that, sweetie.But why did you
say those things to Mrs Krause about
her daughter?
MAIA
Because they're true.
TOM
But how did you know?
MAIA
I just do.
TOM
lf I asked you if it was going to rain
next Sunday, would you know the answer?
MAIA
Maybe.I don't know What's going to happen
to me now?
TOM
The doctors here are going to take another
look at you. Don't worry. lt won't hurt.
MAIA
I don't believe you. It's gonna hurt,
isn't it?
DIANA
You might be uncomfortable some of the
time, but mostly it's going to be boring.
MAIA
Will you look in on me now and then?
DIANA
Me?
MAIA
To see that I'm all right.
DIANA
Sure.
Richard and Lily are looking at an apartment
LILY
It's expensive though.
RICHARD
Rental vouchers will cover it.
LANDLORD
So...do you have any questions?
LILY
The small bedroom, do you think it'll
get too much light for a nursery?
LANDLORD
It's a northern exposure, so you should
be all right.
She turns to Richard
LILY
So, what do you think?
RICHARD
I like it.
LILY
Me, too.
LANDLORD
Is this your first baby?
LILY
Oh...we're not actually a couple.
LANDLORD
Oh, so it's just you and the baby.
LILY
No, it'll be the three of us.
Richard looks at her in shock. He's from the I950's and a white
woman and a black man living together was virtually unheard of
and definitely not accepted
LILY
Why not? You can't stay in that hotel
forever. We can share this place. Unless
you don't want to.
RICHARD
No. No, I'd like that.
LANDLORD
Great. I'll go do the paperwork.
The landlord leaves the apartment
LILY
I hope I didn't embarrass you.
RICHARD
No. It's..It's not that. I figure he
wouldn't rent you the place if I was
part of the deal.I know, Iknow. lt's
not 1951 any more.Times have changed,
but... Sometimes I'm just surprised
at how much.
LILY
Good. It's settled, then?
Lily looks around the room, which begins to warp and move
LILY
Oh, God.
RICHARD
Lily? Lily, what is it?
LILY
Oh.
RICHARD
Lily?
LILY
I don't feel so good.
RICHARD
You need to sit down.Shall I call a
doctor?
LILY
No, no. No, let's just leave.
RICHARD
And go where?
LILY
Anywhere but here.
Carl arrives home to find Grace waiting for him
GRACE
Carl, where have you been?
CARL
I got mugged.
GRACE
Oh, God. Are you all right? Did they
hurt you?
CARL
I didn't get hurt. They got hurt.
GRACE
Who did?
CARL
I learned something important tonight.I'm
a different man. Those aliens, or whoever
took me, they did something.They took
me. They changed me.They made me better.
GRACE
First thing in the morning call the
counsellor and make an appointment.
CARL
I don't have time for that. I've got
things to do.
GRACE
What kind of things?
CARL
The park, Gracie! I want to make it
like it was before. People will bring
their kids again.You and me, we can
have
our picnics at the old spot.
GRACE
Carl, you're scaring me.
CARL
Wh.. There's nothing to be scared of,
not any more.
Tom and Linda have been called to the hospital. Linda is at Kyle's
bedside holding his hand, when Tom enters the room.
TOM
Linda, any idea why Dr Mayhew wants
to see us?
LINDA
He didn't say.
TOM
So how have you been?
LINDA
Good! My lawyer was asking if you'd
signed those divorce papers yet.
TOM
I thought maybe if we had dinner one
night...we could sign them together.
LINDA
You mean make plans that you cancel
at the last minute?
TOM
I'll bring the papers, we'll have a
good meal, a couple of glasses of wine...
LINDA
And a good cry.
TOM
That, too.
LINDA
Stefano's?
TOM
Yeah. Where else?
Dr Mayhew enters the room
DR MAYHEW
Tom, Linda, thanks for coming in. I
was reviewing Kyle's EEG read out and
noticed something peculiar.
TOM
What now?
DR MAYHEW
Last Thursday he had a burst of increased
brain activity. It was brief, no more
than a few seconds.
TOM
That's good, isn't it?
DR MAYHEW
Technically, yes. Let's not get ahead
of ourselves. I'm gonna run some tests,
see if I can find out what happened.
LINDA
Tests!We've had three years of tests.
DR MAYHEW
I understand your frustration Linda,
but we need to look into this.
He leaves the room
LINDA
lt's a roller coaster, isn't it?
TOM
Never ends.Linda.So Stefano's, right?How
does Thursday night sound, 730?
LINDA
I'll be there.
Tom goes outside and speaks to the someone at the nurse's station
TOM
Dorothy.
DOROTHY
Yeah.
TOM
Did anyone visit last Thursday night,
besides his mother and me?
DOROTHY
Let me check. Yes. He had one other
visitor. Your nephew Shawn.
TOM
Shawn!
Tom goes to Shawns school to confront him. He catches up with
him outside
SHAWN
Yeah, I went and saw Kyle on Thursday
night. He's my cousin.I wanted to see
him. What about it?
TOM
Nothing happened there?
SHAWN
I was only there for a couple of minutes.
TOM
So you saw nothing, did nothing?
SHAWN
What could I have done?
TOM
At your welcome home party, a bird smacked
into the window, remember?
SHAWN
It was stunned. What about it?
TOM
No, it was more than that. And then...you
picked it up. Suddenly, it was alive
and well. What the hell did you do to
Kyle?
SHAWN
Argh! I didn't do anything to him. Look,
I really like these little chats we
have, Uncle Tommy, but I gotta go to
class.
TOM
Shawn. We'll talk again.
SHAWN
Oh, I can't wait.
He begins to walk up the steps. Nikki and Danny run to catch
up with him
NIKKI
A bunch of us are going to see Fountains
Of Wayne this weekend.
SHAWN
Have fun.
NIKKI
You know, this whole loner thing is
so tired.
SHAWN
Well, it works for me.
Shawn walks away and Danny turns to Nikki angrily
NIKKI
Fountains of Wayne...Friday night!
DANNY
What is with you?Why do you keep pushing
him?
NIKKI
Someone has to. I don't see you doing
anything.
DANNY
I 'm giving him his space, let him figure
things out for himself. You should try
it sometime.
NIKKI
Ugh!
Diana and Tom go to the theory room at Homeland Security
DIANA
Marco.
MARCO
Skouris. Good. I checked out your idea.
TOM
What idea?
DIANA
So am I a genius or am I crazy?
MARCO
We don't make that distinction in here.
Anyway's, I visited a sampling of disappearance
sites on the west coast, like you suggested.
Turns out you were right. The gravity
at those sites is weaker. But only by
five parts per billion.
DIANA
That's barely measurable.
TOM
Not to mention barely understandable.
English, please.
DIANA
The gravity changed at some of the places
where people disappeared.The question
is, was it natural or was it manipulated?
MARCO
If it was manipulated, the question
is, by who?
DIANA
: So back to the possibility of alien
abductions?
MARCO
I wouldn't rule out little green men,
but obviously, I'm going to need to
take more measurements.
TOM
So in other words,you've made no progress.
MARCO
Er...you explain it to him. Oh, hold
on! You remember Adam Kensington? The
insurance guy Orson Bailey killed.
TOM
Yeah, what about him?
MARCO
: Not one of the good guys as it turns
out. He was point man in an insurance
scheme to defraud policy holders.Bailey
saved Washington state a billion-dollar
buy-out. Could have been Enron all over
again.
DIANA
God! That's interesting. Brings up all
kinds of possibilities.
MARCO
Well, er...don't be a stranger.
They leave the room
TOM
So this thing about Bailey. You're trying
to say, whoever sent him back meant
him to go after Kensington?
DIANA
It's a theory. That's why they call
it the theory room.
Shawn is sitting on the garage floor playing guitar. Danny walks
over to him
DANNY
That's tight.
SHAWN
Oh, no. I suck.Hey, is this about the
concert thing?
DANNY
No, no, it's got nothing to do with
that. I just want to know what's going
on with you and Nikki.
SHAWN
Me and Nikki what?
DANNY
I just want to know what's going on
between you two.
SHAWN
What do you think's going on?
DANNY
Something. She's always talking about
you. Can't go anywhere without her wanting
to bring you along.
SHAWN
How's that my problem, Danny?
DANNY
Just do me a favour. Leave her alone,
ok?
SHAWN
I thought that's what I'd been doing.
Look, you got a problem with your girlfriend,
go talk to her about it, ok?.
DANNY
Yeah. We're the same age. I'm not your
little brother now.
SHAWN
Then stop acting like a two-year-old.
You're my brother. She's your girlfriend.
It's all good...right?
DANNY
Yeah, right.
Back at Lily and Richard's new apartment
LILY
Richard, I am so glad I found this place.
Now we have a new apartment, we can
get you a computer.
RICHARD
Forget about the computer. Let's get
you to a doctor.
LILY
I'm fine. I know this is going to sound
strange, but that other place we looked
at....the baby didn't like it.
RICHARD
Maternal instincts kicking in already,
huh?
LILY
No, it's not that. It's that somehow.
I know what the baby's thinking.
RICHARD
Lily, the baby's barely two months along.It's
not thinking anything.
LILY
I can't explain it any more than you
can explain where you've been for 50
years, or what's happened to us during
the time we've been gone. I don't sound
too strange, do I?
RICHARD
Of course not.
She reaches up and kisses him. As she turns, she see's a couple.
The woman has a baby in her arms and his rocking her
RICHARD
Lily?
LILY
I used to rock Heidi like that when
she was a baby. It feels like yesterday,
but it wasn't, was it?
RICHARD
No.It was what...11 years ago?
LILY
I want to see Heidi. I miss her.
RICHARD
Lily, give it some time. Once Brian's
used to you being back, he'll drop the
restraining order.
Carl is in bed with his wife, who is sleeping. He get's up and
goes to the park. Kneeling down by a bench covered in graffiti,
he begins to paint it, then moving onto graffiti covered walls.
He hears a woman screaming. Some men are attempting to rape her
MAN
Don't move!
WOMAN
Stop it! Cut it out! lt isn't funny!
MAN
Shut up! Just shut up! Grab her legs.
Carl arrives
CARL
Hey, guys, why don't you leave her alone?
MAN
Get lost!
CARL
No! You get lost.
MAN
Go get him, man! Come on!
Two of the men rush at him, while a third runs away. The sounds
of a fight can be heard offscreen
Diana walks into the examination room, to find Maia curled up
on a table, alone.
DIANA
Hey, Maia. How long have they left you
like this?
MAIA
A while. I think they all went on their
coffee break.
DIANA
Oh! Well! You know, that's pretty dumb
of them, isn't it?
MAIA
Will you stay until they come back?
DIANA
Of course. When they show up, your doctors
and I are going to have a little talk.
MAIA
And then can l go home?
DIANA
Home?
MAIA
With you. I don't like being here alone.
DIANA
You want to stay with me?
MAIA
You don't like being alone either. I
can always come back for my checkups.
Please.
DIANA
Look, Maia, l'm not even sure I'm the
kind of person I want to live with.
No, I...eat cold pizza for breakfast
and...
MAIA
That sounds all right to me.
DIANA
Yeah. You know, Maia, just let me think
about it, OK?
She returns to her office, where she finds Tom waiting
TOM
Where have you been?
DIANA
I was looking in on Maia.
TOM
Really?
DIANA
I promised her, didn't I? So what have
you got?
TOM
Sid lent us his research clippings.
I think I found something worth checking
out.
They go to see the female attempted rape victim, who is working
behind the counter of a cafe
TOM
One guy taking on three attackers doesn't
sound that far-fetched. :
FEMALE VICTIM
But if you saw him, you'd think it was
impossible. He was...35, 40, maybe five-foot-six,
weighed 150 pounds.
DIANA
So not exactly the Rock, huh?
FEMALE VICTIM
lt was the way that he moved.
TOM
Could he have been on drug, maybe PCP?
FEMALE VICTIM
He didn't act like he was on drugs.
You know, most guys would have walked
away. Or, er...maybe called the cops
later, after it was too late. But, er...this
guy, he saved me.
Tom's phone rings
TOM
I'm sorry. Baldwin. Linda. Dinner. Yeah,
no... Linda, l'm s... Don't hang up,
Linda. Just...
Linda has put the phone down. Tom turns back to the woman
DIANA
Anything else you can remember?
FEMALE VICTIM
Just one thing. This guy...I don't mean
to be rude or anything, but...he smelled
funny. Like day-old fish.
They walk outside the diner
DIANA
So that was your wife on the phone?
TOM
I don't wanna talk about it.
DIANA
Fair enough.
TOM
So what, are we in Orson Bailey territory
here?
DIANA
I wouldn't rule it out, which would
give us what? A telekinetic insurance
salesman, a clairvoyant eight-year-old,
and now some kind of sad sack super
vigilante.
TOM
Hell of a trio.
DIANA
They're only the ones we know about.
Unless you can think of anyone else.
TOM
Just take it one case at a time.
Lily is hiding outside her husbands home, watching through the
window as Heidi does her homework
BRIAN
Heidi, can you remember the formula
for an isosceles triangle? Hey.I'm probably
not the best at this, but...
As Lily watches her daughter, the baby causes her some distress
LILY
Oh!
She knocks over a plant pot and Brian looks up. At some point
she is arrested as in the next scene she phones Richard from
the police station
LILY
Richard?
RICHARD
Lily. Thank God. Are you all right?
I was worried sick. Where are you?
LILY
I've been arrested.
Later at the fishmongers
MRS MARTINO
Carl, I have my grandchildren coming
for dinner. How about some nice swordfish?
CARL
You can't go wrong with swordfish.
BURT
Carl!
CARL
Give me a second, Burt. You got like...
BURT
What did I tell you about chatting when
work has to be done?
He's poking him in the chest
CARL
Please stop with the finger.
BURT
Stop?
Carl grabs his hand and bends it
CARL
I asked you not to do that.
BURT
Let go!
CARL
I mean it. I show up on time. l do my
work. Now just leave me alone. Ok?
BURT
OK, OK.
He turns to the woman
CARL
So...how much swordfish are we talking
here?
Tom and Ryland are out having a coffee
RYLAND
I'm telling you Tom, there's a lot of
chatter in DC about putting the 4400
back in quarantine. Not that I agree.
I mean, if they're so dangerous, how
is cramming them into one space going
to be safer?
He can see that Tom isn't listening
RYLAND
...so l took my pistol and I shot her
in the forehead.
TOM
Shot who?
RYLAND
Do us a favour, Tom, sign the divorce
papers.
TOM
Do me a favour, Dennis, stay out of
it.
RYLAND
I spoke to her.
TOM
What are you doing talking to Linda?
RYLAND
I danced with her at your wedding, now
I'm not supposed to talk to her?
TOM
I was in the middle of an investigation.
RYLAND
Tom. You asked her for dinner and you
stood her up.
TOM
It slipped my mind.
RYLAND
Maybe.Maybe you just don't want to admit
the truth to yourself.
Richard approaches Brian as he leaves his house
RICHARD
Brian Moore?
BRIAN
Yeah.
RICHARD
I'm Richard Tyler, a friend of Lily's.
BRIAN
You another one of those 4400?
RICHARD
Is that a problem?
BRIAN
Look, Itold her to stay away, but she
wouldn't listen.
RICHARD
I understand you're upset, but Lily's
in jail. You don't want that.
BRIAN
What l want is a normal life for my
daughter, for my family.
RICHARD
It won't happen again.
BRIAN
I'm supposed to take your word for it?
RICHARD
I promise, if you drop the charges,
she'll never bother you or Heidi ever
again. You used to love her once, remember?
BRIAN
Yeah, I remember.
Grace and Carl are arguing in their living room
GRACE
I want you to stop!
CARL
I can't!
GRACE
What do you mean, can't? What you're
doing is dangerous, not to mention illegal.
You can't just go around beating people
up.
CARL
I've been given an opportunity and l'm
going to take it. I'll clean up that
park and then I'll clean up the neighbourhood.
GRACE
Oh, God, you sound like a crazy man.
You promised me you'd call your counsellor.
CARL
I never said that. You said it.
GRACE
Tomorrow, I'm going to call him.
BRIAN
You'd call Homeland Security on me?
GRACE
The way you're acting, can you blame
me?
CARL
What I'm doing here, I'm doing for us,
Grace. This is where we live. I just
want us to be happy and not be afraid
any more, and it starts with Bradley
Park! I don't want it to end there.
It won't. I won't let it. They can't
hurt me. No one can.
GRACE
You're just one man. I lost you once
and I don't want to lose you again.
CARL
I can do it. I can make this neighbourhood
safe again. For you, for Mrs Martino...even
Burt. So please stop worrying.
This is what I was meant to do. This is my destiny.
Lily is released and finds Richard waiting for her outside. They
hug and later dance to 'Mona Lisa' that's playing in the background
RICHARD
This was brand new when l disappeared.
And it's a... What do you call it?
LILY
Golden oldie.
RICHARD
I guess I'm a golden oldie, too.
LILY
No, not to me.
RICHARD
Hey, we have to talk about what happened
last night.
LILY
No, there's nothing to talk about. Do
you know what I saw when I looked through
Brian's window? A happy family. I realised
Heidi doesn't need me.
RICHARD
Maybe one day...
LILY
I'll be there for her if she does. But
until then I'll stay away. This is where
I want to be now, here with you. Where
I'm happy. And the baby's happy.
RICHARD
Well, that makes three happy people.
LILY
All you've done for me....it's not because
I remind you of the other Lily, is it?
RICHARD
Maybe at first. Now all I see is you.
They kiss
Shawn is working on his car in the garage, when Nikki enters
SHAWN
Danny's inside.
NIKKI
I'm not here to see Danny.
She turns off the engine
SHAWN
Cute. Can you turn it back on, please?
NIKKI
Did Danny say something to you? Is that
why you're acting like his? Our friendship
has nothing to do with him.
SHAWN
Nikki, we don't have a friendship, OK?
NIKKI
Shawn, listen to me...
She touches the hot engine
NIKKI
Ah! Ah! Ah!
SHAWN
Hey, hey, come here. Let me see it.
Let me see.
He rubs her hand and the burn disappears
NIKKI
It's gone. It doesn't hurt any more.
SHAWN
It mustn't been that bad of a burn.
NIKKI
Yes, it was. You did something to it,
didn't you?
They kiss
Tom signs the divorce petition whilst at work. Diana walks in.
DIANA
Tom. See, the thing about vigilantes
is that they're not very common, except
in Charles Bronson movies, so l have
to create my own profile. Now, we know
he's a white male,slender, somewhere
between 30 and 50. He works a blue-collar
job, has low self-esteem, lives in a
high-crime area.
TOM
I'm with you so far.
DIANA
I cross-checked my profile with the
members of the 4400 in and around the
Seattle area and I came up with 37 names.
TOM
You're not taking me through all 37.
DIANA
Of those 37, I was able to eliminate
24. I 'm sure you don't care how. And
that left me with 13.
TOM
l'm on the edge of my seat.
DIANA
Here are my two favourites - Robert
Lorenzano and Carl Morrissey. They both
fit the profile, but Carl, he's our
guy. Check out his occupation.
TOM
Supermarket employee.
DIANA
Yeah, I called the store. Carl works
in the seafood section.
TOM
And our guy smelled like day-old fish.
DIANA
Oh, yeah. l'm good.
It's night and Carl is walking through the park when he spots
a man spraying graffiti
CARL
Hey! What the hell are you doing? I
just cleaned that!
The man throws the can of paint and attacks him. Carl easily
fells him to the ground. He turns to some others
CARL
Come on!
Meanwhile, Tom and Diana go to his home
TOM
We'd like to talk to your husband.
GRACE
Why?
TOM
Any idea where he was Tuesday night?
GRACE
He was here.
TOM
You sure about that?
GRACE
I just told you.
DIANA
Have you heard of the ''Bradley Park
vigilante''?
GRACE
What does that have to do with Carl?
TOM
You tell us, Mrs Morrissey.
GRACE
You're not going to throw him back into
quarantine, are you?
TOM
We want to help him.
GRACE
That's funny. That's all Carl wants
to do is help. People grumble but nobody
does anything, nobody tries to make
anything better, except Carl.
TOM
Where is he, Mrs Morrissey?
She takes them to the park, where they find him sat on a bench
with a large bleeding wound in his abdomen
GRACE
Carl.
CARL
Grace. I got rid of all the graffiti.
GRACE
Oh, my God, Carl.
