Tom and Diana are sent out to investigate a homicide that resembles the MO of a serial killer who was never caught nor heard of for 25 years. The first suspect is Oliver Knox, a member of the 4400. However, Knox has an alibi for the night of the murder and another man confesses to all the crimes. Tom and Diana suspect that Knox is luring people to kill for him and try to lay a trap on him. Meanwhile, people begin to turn hostile toward the 4400, and Jordan Collier decides to organize his fellow returnees. But Richard feels uneasy about Collier's interest in them.

Episode Notes
 
This episode was watched by 5.49 million viewers.
 
In the scene where Knox has the girl at knife point and Tom jumps out and clocks him in the face – you're actually seeing Joel Gretsch punch Lee Tergesen in the face – accidentally of course. It was the third take and Joel mistakenly connected. He felt horrible. Lee ended up with a swollen and bruised cheek and nose. He took it in good stride and even needled Joel about it for a while just to mess with him.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Ryland: D.C. is calling for your head. I want you to dial back on the 4400.
Yates: Not gonna happen. I'm a journalist, I answer only to my viewers.
Ryland: Don't you hide behind freedom of the press. What you do isn't journalism, it's shouting "Fire!" on a crowded theater. And you're gonna stop before the stampede begins.
Yates: ...Yeah. You have a really strong face. Seriously Dennis, you should come on my show.
Ryland: You're getting in the way of my job Barbara. If you're going to continue to interfere with the Department Of Homeland Security, I'd advise you to tread lightly.
 
Oliver: Look, I know how tempting the math is on this on this murder. I disappear in 83', the killings stop. Here I am, a- and the poor girl is dead.
Tom: We noticed.
Oliver: And if I were in your shoes, you know, I'd probably want me to be guilty too. It would be so convenient. But... I almost feel bad I can't oblige you. I did not kill that woman.
 
Richard: Look, you wanna help me? Help me find a job. Tell me what to say when they ask me how old I am. Or about my work experience, or or or, tell me how to explain that 58 year old gap on my resume. Everyone says that the world has changed for the better, and that people don't judge you by the color of your skin. Well let me tell you something, I'm still being judged, and you're sitting there asking me... about my relationship with my parents?
