I think that was the last episode i watched before my vacation. (And now my laptop is at my parents so ill have to pick it up tomorrrow to start watching again hahah)
There are now 4 seasons on Netflix. I am binge watching it and like it a lot. I am surprised at how dictatorial the federal government is in this show. It's as though the Constitution has been suspended. When the 4400 first returned, they were treated as though they had no rights from the get go. They hunted down that guy at his cabin in the woods. They had no evidence he had done anything, just video of him shaking the driveway gate at the house where a man died inside the house, alone. So there wasn't even probably cause.
They held him 12 hours for questioning and decided they could not find anything to charge him with. He left the station and went to his cabin in the woods. NTAC agents went to the cabin and said they couldn't leave him there. They just decided this, without any legal basis.
They tried to break into his cabin. Then they shot him.
And when Jordan Collier returned the FBI agent in charge told Tom that he could not take Jordan to court to show that he wasn't dead, so Tom's son could be cleared of the charge of murdering him...BECAUSE THE PENTAGON SAID NO. The Pentagon? They have absolutely no say over a law enforcement or justice department decision.
When people objected that Jordan Collier was being detained indefinitely after he returned from the dead, they were told "They're scared. This is how the government reacts when they're scared."
LOL
There isn't even a suggestion that the government doesn't have the right to do that.
But I like the show. The writers keep it interesting. The plot gives them an unlimited variety of dilemmas.
Tom Baldwin shows fake morality in Season 2 episode 9 when he holds Rwandan 4400 Edwin Mayuya guilty of mass murder which was planned and committed by soldiers. Edwin had no foreknowledge of the crime which occurred in his clinic (before the 4400 abduction).
Tom asked him if he tried to stop the soldiers from slaughtering the Tutsis who had come to the clinic believing it provided them sanctuary, as Edwin himself also believed. Edwin was lied to by the soldiers. The soldiers came and slaughtered those people.
But Tom holds Edwin guilty of mass murder because he didn't stop the armed soldiers. Really? One unarmed man was supposed to stop a group of armed soldiers? And since Edwin didn't stop the soldiers, Tom wants him to be executed.
What is the point of this false morality? It actually says more about Tom for unjustly blaming this man for mass murder, and primping himself as morally superior. That was some sickening TV.
In the next episode Tom finds out that his son shot and killed Jordan Collier during a blackout. He tells him he is not going to let him go to jail for it because it wasn't him who shot Jordan, but someone who had control of him during his blackout.
Wow.
What a turnaround.
Edwin didn't kill anyone. Edwin was fooled into telling people they would be safe at his clinic. Then soldiers showed up and killed them. Edwin didn't know they were going to do that. Edwin thought he was saving people.
And Tom blamed him for their deaths. Why? Because Edwin didn't stop the group of armed soldiers. Tom wanted to see Edwin executed over this.
But when Tom's son shot and killed Jordan, Tom says it's not his fault and he shouldn't face punishment.
I cannot stand Tom Baldwin.

I didn't realize it was on Netflix. If I had time, I'd rewatch it again. The series was so great but lost me towards the end.

I agree. It's my favorite TV series from the decade 2000-2009. I wish they made season 5 to explain everything
