The 4400 s01e05 Episode Script

White Light

Previously on The 4400: We're not sure what's just happened.
There appears to be something out there.
The light is gone and thousands of people have just suddenly appeared.
Diana Skouris, Tom Baldwin.
You two will be one of the teams that's responsible for investigating what happened to the returnees.
We're letting them go.
We're letting them go? You don't have a legal right to hold them.
Dennis Ryland, I'm Warren Lytell.
I believe Home Sec in D.
C.
mentioned I was coming.
I'm here to clean up your mess.
The hell you are.
Now, there's gonna be a change around here.
You can either be part of it, or you can get swept aside.
I intend to provide a safe haven for any 4400 in this country who needs one.
You'll be our first official residents.
You know I'm in love with Richard, right? Why would I try to break up you and Richard? long as you're on the job, I feel safe, and so does the baby.
Two happy residents.
That's a start.
what 'bout Maia Rutledge, age eight, disappeared in '46.
And there's all these reports of her making predictions, ones that come true.
Next thing you know, she's been removed from quarantine by one of our field agents.
I'm afraid you can't bring Maia back to school anymore.
We have to consider the safety of the other students.
-It'll be okay.
-No, it's not okay.
Somebody's coming who'll make everything better.
Next case, Shawn Farrell, age 17.
Disappeared in April of 2001.
It's a little thin.
Me breaking up with Danny has nothing to do with you.
Okay.
I need to ask you a few questions about Kyle Baldwin.
I don't know what happened.
I put my hands on him, that's it.
He woke up.
Don't touch me! You're my father.
I recognize you, but I don'know who you are.
What are you doing, buddy? I'm looking.
For what? For me.
I finally understand.
They're not the strangers.
I am.
I'm not Kyle Baldwin.
Kyle? I'm not Kyle.
Well, then who are you? I don't know.
I need more screens.
Okay.
Your son is experiencing a severe dissociative disorder.
Now, it's not uncommon for newly awakened coma patients.
He feels disconnected from his memories, his personality.
Yeah, well, we knew when he woke up there'd be a period of adjustment, but the kid doesn't even know who he is.
I know this is frustrating for you and Linda, but you did the right thing bringing him back here.
Yeah.
So what now? More tests? We need to do another cranial MRI.
They'll be here in an hour to take him back downstairs.
Look, I know this is difficult, Tom.
But Kyle's come this far.
We can't give up now.
I think I've got the exact change.
Hello, cutie.
Thanks.
How long have you known that man? Tony? Oh, about two years.
He's nice.
He's very nice.
Why do you say that? He's going to fall in love today.
Tony? My God, good for him.
It's not with me, is it? Nope.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Is there something else, Maia? How long am I going to be like this? Like what? I don't want to know things before they happen.
I want to be normal, like I used to be.
It's gonna be okay, sweetie.
Besides, I mean, you know, who's normal anyway? You are.
Ha.
You want to know a secret? Normal people, like me they just wish they were special like you.
The television, put it back on.
Kyle, when you came home, you spent all that time looking through your books.
Then the maps, now the TV.
Why don't you tell us what you're looking for, huh? Maybe we can help you look, too.
You should go home and get some rest.
I'm not leaving him.
All right.
I'll go grab some stuff.
I'll be back in a half hour, okay? Mm-hmm.
What are you doing? Mrs.
Baldwin You leave him alone! Who are you people? I'm calling security.
That won't be necessary.
My name is Agent Warren Lytell.
I work with your husband.
I don't give a damn who you work with.
Leave him alone! Tell Tom I figured it out.
I know where I have to be.
Mrs.
Baldwin, don't worry.
He's gonna be safe.
The government's gonna be supervising his medical care from now on.
* So long ago * * Another life * * I can feel your heartbeat * * It's not a dream * * Remember us * * I can see it in your eyes * * We'll find our place in time * * Our place in time beyond the sun * * We'll find our place in time * * Our place in time to call our own * You snatched that kid from a hospital? What were you thinking?! He's the only witness to an abduction.
He could have some valuable information.
Kyle Baldwin can't remember his own name.
Then we'll help him remember.
His mother's upset.
It's understandable.
The family's been through a lot.
But D.
C.
sent me here to get some result Tom! Where's my son? Whoa.
Get your hands off me, Baldwin.
I swear to God.
I'll ask you one more time.
Ryland, you want to give me some help? It's a tough call.
Where's Kyle?! All right, Tom.
You made your point.
Put the gun away.
Dennis, Dennis.
Tom, put the gun away.
You should have let me pull the trigger.
Don't think I wasn't tempted But shooting Lytell is not gonna get Kyle back.
Maybe not, but it'd make me feel a hell of a lot better.
Damn it! What I don't understand is why Kyle? Why didn't they go after Shawn? Because our doctors have been over Shawn dozens of times.
Kyle's new territory for 'em.
New territory? That's my son you're talking about.
You think I don't know that? Can't you call D.
C.
? What in the hell good would that do? It was D.
C.
that put Lytell here the first place.
They're backing his play.
So what then? We do nothing? I didn't say that.
We'll get Kyle back.
When? For Christ's sake, I don't know.
I just heard an hour ago.
I don't know where Lytell put him.
No, not good enough, Dennis.
No.
I'm not gonna sit around while you play phone tag with some Beltway bureaucrat.
I'm getting my son.
Hey, Tom.
Get your hands off me.
Tom! We go back a long way.
If you try to go around me on this, none of it matters.
I know.
Tom, what the hell happened between you and Lytell? Ask Ryland.
Tom.
Tom! What?! If you're in trouble, I need to know.
Why? 'Cause I might be able to help.
Diana, just stay out of it, all right? Drive the car.
Blood work looks fine.
The Rh factor levels are normal, and your calcium's okay.
So, how do you feel, Lily? A little tired sometime Well, that's to be expected.
Now, where was I? Oh, right.
I'm gonna have to draw some more amniotic fluid.
Why? Is something wrong? What kind of genetic anomaly? All I know is she wants to grow one of the baby's chromosomes in the lab.
It'll be okay.
It's gonna be a beautiful 18 holes.
Either of you play golf? Oh, I'm afraid not.
That's too bad.
Listen, Jordan, about that doctor you sent us to.
Roxanne Kern.
She's the best OB-GYN in the Pacific Northwest.
You're in good hands.
So, how'd that support group meeting go the other night? Yeah, it, it went well.
Thank you.
Nobody complained about the catering? I have to admit the, um, lobster sushi was a great idea.
You see? You just have to trust me.
This girlfriend of yours has quite an imagination.
She actually thought I was trying to steal her away from you.
You believe that? Uh, not really.
I like your confidence.
You see? You were worried about nothing.
I wasn't worried.
* Oh yeah, three to one * * Lights, camera, transaction * We've got to tell him.
I'll do it.
It should be me.
When? Soon.
I can't take all this sneaking around.
Besides, I miss seeing you.
I miss you, too.
* Come one, come all into 1984 * Yeah, but you suspected that Shawn had these abilities from the day of his coming home party, and you never told me.
I Thanks for sharing.
I never told Linda, either.
Yeah, but you're divorcing Linda - I'm your partner.
Yeah, I know.
When we were first assigned to the 4400, you were calling them disease vectors and viruses.
I know what I was calling them, but have you noticed any change in me lately, maybe because, I don't know, I have one of them living in my apartment? All right, point taken.
Because if the situation were reversed, I would have told you.
I know.
I heard you, all right? Can we continue the reprimand later? -Fine.
-Fine.
Now, what are we gonna do about Kyle? We? Of course, we.
We are gonna go find him and bring him home.
Then we'd better get to work.
I'm sorry Mr.
Collier's not available right now.
I'll have him return your call as soon as he gets in.
Thank you, Dr.
Kern.
Dr.
Kern, the OB-GYN? Mm-hmm.
Jordan about to have a baby? I wouldn't know.
Ah.
Here's the, uh, security logs he asked to see.
I'll put them on his desk.
Can I see Jordan's phone logs for the last couple of weeks? What for? He's been receiving some threatening mail.
Uh, I want to cross check it with all his incoming calls.
It doesn't leave this office.
Sorry, Mr.
Tyler.
She can't be disturbed.
Mr.
Tyler, please.
This won't take long.
Dr.
Kern I told him you were busy.
Lily isn't scheduled for another appointment today, is she? No, she isn't.
I want to know why you call Jordan Collier every time she comes see you.
My phone habits don't really concern you, Mr.
Tyler.
That's just it - I think they do.
And you're gonna tell me what Jordan Collier knows about Lily's baby that she doesn't.
Sickle-cell anemia? How can my baby have the trait for sickle-cell anemia? Unless the father is black.
Maybe he is.
What are you saying, Richard? Oh, I don't know.
Maybe whoever took us used me as some kind of donor.
The question is, why would Jordan have Dr.
Kern keep this from us? This baby's carrying the sickle-cell trai.
.
that brings you and I closer together Maybe he doesn't want that to happen.
Maybe.
I think it's time me and him have a talk.
Michelle Hickock, returnee number 938 - she's coming in this afternoon at 4:00 for a counseling session, and I want to see her afterwards, okay? He's logged on.
Lytell's on the network.
You're good to go.
Tom really appreciates your helping him.
I'm not doing it for Tom.
Come on Hey.
So Kyle's being held at the Quarantine Center, building nine, subbasement three.
That's great.
I owe you.
Okay, well Marco.
Thanks for your help.
No worries.
All right, you ready to roll? I think we should wait till after 5:00 when the night shift comes on.
That way, at least they're half staffed.
Okay, I'll pick you up at 4:00.
See you.
Here.
This is the place.
It's just outside of the city in West Bellevue.
How do you know the guy selling it isn't gonna be there? He's in Spain for three months.
Another realtor told me.
It'll make a perfect safe house.
Okay, get it set up.
And make sure you're not followed on the way there.
You think I'm being watched? Well, if I was Lytell, I'd keep an eye on you.
Just remember to check your rearview mirror and stay cool.
I remember what you taught me.
I just never thought I'd have to use it.
You'll do fine.
I'll get Kyle, and I'll meet you out there.
I'll be waiting.
-And be careful.
-I will.
Nice, huh? I remember how much you told me you like moonstones.
I do.
But I-I can't accept these.
Why not? I mean, I got them for you.
Come on, Nikki.
Look, I know I messed up.
Didn't Shawn talk to you? Shawn.
What does he have to do with anything? Come on.
Nikki? * It's been a while * * Since I could call you * Hey, Dawn.
Hey.
-Maia ready? -Maia's over by the playground talking with one of your colleagues.
Some of the clothes look funny, and the cars.
But I don't know, video games are kind of fun.
Did you like the video games in the rec room at Quarantine? There are so many people, I hardly ever got a chance to play.
Lytell! What are you doing here? Just talking with Maia.
I'd heard so much about her, I thought it was time we met.
Stay away from her.
That's not really your call, now, is it? Maia, it was nice talking with you.
We'll do it again soon.
I don't like him.
And he doesn't really like me, either.
Well, don't you worry about him.
Are you sure? Oh you listen to me, Maia.
I am absolutely sure.
I am not gonna let anything bad happen to you, you hear me? All right? Okay.
Jordan, you have a minute? I know why you're here.
Roxanne Kern called me as soon as you left her office.
Look, Richard, I hope you and Lily aren't blowing this up into something bigger than it is just 'cause some doctor's trying to land on the good side of my checkbook.
Lily and I appreciate everything you've done for us, from the house to my job.
Our lives have been a lot more comfortable since we met.
You're gonna hurt me now, aren't you? But we think it's time you back off and let us run our own lives.
Whatever you want.
Tell Lily I said hi, will you? I'll do that.
You good to go? Just give me a sec.
Gloria, just remember what I told you.
Don't answer the door to anyone you don't know, okay? Cool.
-You leaving now? -Yeah, but don't worry, sweetheart, 'cause I'll be back before you wake up, all right? Okay.
All right.
There you go.
Bye.
Diana.
Don't worry.
You'll find him.
Find who? Your son, Kyle.
He's the answer.
The answer to what? Everything.
I want to see, uh, Kyle Baldwin, please.
You're not on the authorization list.
Oh, no, no, I'm just a friend of the family, and I want to know that he's all right.
'Cause he's not even one of the 4400, and his father works with me at Intec, and I don't know, if you could just give me something that I could tell him.
'Cause come on, we're both supposed to be on the same side, right? I'll see what I can find out.
Oh, great.
Thank you so much.
That's great.
It's all right, you won't even have a headache when you wake up, okay? Oh, well, maybe a little headache.
Come on in.
Kyle, buddy.
It's me, buddy, okay, huh? Huh? Highland Beach.
Yeah, what about it? That's where I have to go.
Highland Beach? Let's get you out of here first, okay? Come on, up.
Okay? We got him, Linda.
Yeah.
No, he's sitting right here next to me.
He's about the same.
No worse, anyway.
I'll see you in a little while.
How far away is the safe house? It's about 30 miles.
Your mom's waiting for you, buddy.
No.
Highland Beach.
Hey! Kyle! No, let go.
Kyle, Kyle, stop! Highland Beach! Kyle, let go, Kyle! Back off! Calm down! We have to go there.
We have to go there now.
What's at Highland Beach? That's where Shawn disappeared.
I have to go back there.
Just, just calm down, buddy.
Just If that's what you want, we'll-we'll take you.
You sure about that? Kyle's the answer, right? Two of your agents are operating outside of the tent.
I noticed.
Do you know why? Because you pulled the Baldwin kid out of the hospital.
Yeah, well, D.
C.
wouldn't see it that way.
D.
C.
thought it was a good move to send you here.
Well, you gonna bring him in or not? Find him.
So, these are the names of the people who are coming to the next support group meeting.
It's a little bigger than the last one, so we may need a couple more tables.
I'll take care of it.
Thank you.
Lily? Can I see you for a minute? Um, I-I have a few errands to run.
it won't take long.
Where'd you get this? I've been doing security checks on everyone who's moved into the complex.
Well, don't look shocked, Lily.
I mean, consider my position.
A lot of people, including half my own board of directors would love to see me fall on my face here.
A scandal like this would give them the last bit of leverage they need to force me out of the company and put themselves back in power.
Richard would never do anything like this.
I'd have thought so, too.
I guess we were both wrong.
Do you really think this is gonna change the way I feel about him? That's up to you.
But, Lily, you really have to ask yourself is this the man you want raising your baby? Aren't you gonna say something? It was my 23rd birthday.
A bunch of guys from the barracks invited me out to a bar.
You don't drink.
Didn't then, either.
But these guys - it was a big deal they asking me to come along.
In those days, Negroes and whites didn't do much socializing.
So, I went.
It was kind of nice, you know.
Then this woman started coming on to me.
People started staring.
So I figured it was time for me to get out of there.
She followed me outside and asked me to go home with her.
I declined respectfully.
That's when she started screaming.
That's it? That's all that happened? That's all it took in 1945.
Because the statement the woman made to the police- I mean, it's so detailed.
Lily, none of it's true.
If I hadn't been completely exonerated of those charges, do-do-do you think the Air Force would-would have sent me to flight school? Made me an officer or a pilot? The woman lied.
The charges got dropped.
Why would Jordan bring any of this up? He wants you to start doubting me doubting us.
Do you? We got to pack whatever we can in five minutes.
We're getting out of here.
They're heading west on Sandberg.
There are no freeways in that direction.
Highland Beach.
I bet that's where they're going.
Have my car brought around.
I'm coming.
I don't care what the hell you do.
Just keep your mouth shut and stay out of my way.
Come on, Mom are you serious? The movies-- like, you and me? Is that so weird? I mean, we used to go to the movies all the time.
Well, when I was six.
Shawn! You prick.
Get Oh! Danny.
Danny listen to me.
You goddamned freak! Danny, stop this! Boys, please! Danny Shawn, stop! Please! Goddamn it, stop blaming me for Nikki! Don't you see it's over between you two?! That's enough! Danny?! Shawn, stop it! You're killing him! What did you do? I don't know.
I didn't mean to do anything.
Danny? Get away from him! Shawn? What happened? I heard you guys shouting.
Don't touch me.
What? Don't touch me.
Ah.
You're the only good thing that's happened to me since I've been back.
But I can't stay here, and you can't come where I'm going.
Shawn.
I love you, Nikki.
I love you.
What are you doing? Shawn? What No.
Stay here and talk about this.
Shawn? Shawn, what are you doing?! Shawn! What's all this? What's it look like? Have you two thought about what you're doing? I mean, really thought about it? Because let me remind you, it is dangerous outside those gates.
We'll risk it.
Lily, think about the baby.
What does the baby have to do with this? Everything.
That baby could be the key to the future, and it has to be protected, and I can do that, better than Richard, better than anyone.
Lily, get in the car.
I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
Stay away from her.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, God Go ahead, run! It won't do you any good.
I will find you.
That baby belongs with me.
Kyle.
Damn it, Kyle, we've been walking for ten minutes.
What are you looking for? Maybe we can help you, Kyle.
This was where we found him.
We're running out of time.
Kyle, I brought you here like you asked.
But if there's something you need to do, you better do it fast.
I belong here.
I tried really hard.
And no matter what I've done, which way I've turned, it just It sucks.
I need to clear my head and get away for a while.
I guess what I'm asking is if I could stay here for a while.
Shawn, you're one of the 4400.
As far as I'm concerned, you can stay here as long as you want.
That's great, man, thanks.
Thank you.
So, um, tell me a little more about this ability of yours.
Any idea where we're headed? I'll know it when I see it.
He's gonna come after us.
Baby likes that.
You know, it really wouldn't be so bad, would it? If you were the father? No, it wouldn't be bad at all.
That's their car.
Let's go.
Now listen, these are not criminals here.
These are two of our own.
I want you to keep your gun holstered.
There's no cause for anybody to get hurt.
Kyle, they're coming for you.
They're gonna want to take you away.
They're too late.
Kyle.
Kyle! Don't! Kyle.
Tom.
You're not my son, are you? No.
Kyle was meant to be a channel a way to communicate.
Communicate with who? With you.
To guide you in your dealings with the returnees.
But something went wrong.
Shawn interrupted the process.
That's what put him in a coma.
He was like that for three years because of you.
Tom.
Who are you? What are you? I'm human.
Like you.
No, you're nothing like me.
I come from a different time.
That is all.
Your future.
Is that where you took them? My nephew and, and all the others? We needed them.
For what? To survive.
Skouris.
In my time, humanity is dying out.
You mean, it's all going to end? Everything? What in the hell is going on? I don't know.
Kyle brought us out here.
It's like he knew it was gonna happen.
Did you ever think that maybe he's not Kyle Baldwin? He kept claiming he wasn't.
Maybe he's telling the truth.
Hey, Tom.
Tom, are you all right? We can't just stand around.
We got to do something.
He could take Baldwin with him or kill him.
Hey, nobody is going to do anything until we know what's going on in there.
Only those we took can prevent the catastrophe from happening.
That's why they've been altered and seeded back into the timeline.
But why here? Why now? 'Cause history tells us this is where the path to oblivion began.
And-and the people you took? They're going to stop that from happening - how? They've already begun their work and you've begun yours.
Tom, come on.
Do something, Ryland, or I will.
That's it.
I need you out of there.
I don't understand.
What what is their work? What are we supposed to do? You have to help them.
Help them? How? How? You're bleeding.
Oh, God.
G-Get an ambulance.
Now! Kyle Kyle, no, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle! Stay-stay with me, stay with me, Kyle.
Stay with me.
Just stay with me.
Look at me, look at me, look at me, Kyle.
Stay here, stay here.
No, no, no Kyle Kyle Kyle, look at me, look at me.
Stay with me Kyle, stay with me.
Stay with me, come on.
Stay with me.
No.
Come on, come on.
No No no, no! Tom.
Dad? Kyle? What are you doing here? Where's - where's Shawn? Kyle? Oh, I-I can explain about the beer.
No.
I-I Oh, forget the beer.
You don't have to explain anything.
What's going on? Tom.
Tom, what did you see? I got you.
The baby.
It's time? Mm.
I'll get the car.
