TEXT: Le poids du monde (2x04 : Weignt Of The World) Written by OZ SCOTT & SCOTT PETERS Directed by VINCENT MISIANO Flashbacks to the season opener, Wake Up Call. Trent Applebaum [Abducted May 18th 1989] walks into a diner and sits with his head in his hands, as the waitress leans over and kisses him on the top of the head. Elyse: How did it go today, Daddy? That bad, huh? Applebaum: Nobody wants to buy time shares in Wilmington Idaho. Baha California, maybe. Elyse: If I were you, I'd go in and tell them 'Either you let me have the good listings, or I quit'. Applebaum: The whole staff wants Baha, honey and I don't have the seniority. Elyse: How is that fair? You've been a salesman longer than any of them. Applebaum: Salesman, not telemarketer! It's different. Another man enters the diner. Man: Hey, hey! Applebaum! Payday! Applebaum makes a run for it but is blocked by another man. Elyse: Leave him alone, he's trying to get it back! His head is forced down onto a plateful of food. Demetri: This your beer, Applebaum? You don't mind if I quench my thirst, do you? Applebaum: Honey, stay back. Stay back! Demetri sits on a stool next to him. Applebaum: I just need a couple more weeks. Something will turn around. Demetri: In my business, we hear every sobstory in the book. But I gotta tell you, yours is a new one. Disappeared 15 years ago, came back and my wife died. Daughter dropped out of school. You got a bad break, but you borrowed the money, now you have to pay me back. Applebaum: I'll figure something out. Demetri: Do it quickly, cos you and I are going to talk again in 48 hours. I thought you 4400's got special powers. How come you're such a big nothing. Applebaum: Just lucky I guess
