THE 4400
Episode 105
"WHITE LIGHT"
By
Scott Peters
REPORTER
We're not sure what happened. Something's
out there. The light has gone and thousands
of people have appeared.
RYLAND
Diana Skouris, Tom Baldwin. You'll be
one of the teams investigating what
happened to the returnees. We're letting
them go. We have no right to hold them.
LYTTEL
I'm Warren Lytell. HomeSec mentioned
I was coming. I'm here to clean up your
mess.There's gonna be a change around
here. Be part of it or get swept aside.
COLLIER
I'll provide a safe haven for any 4400.You'll
be our first residents
LILY
I'm in love with Richard.
COLLIER
Why would I break you up?
LILY
If you're on the job, I feel safe. So
does the baby.
RICHARD
Two happy residents. That's a start.
LYTTEL
Maia Rutledge, aged eight. Disappeared
in '46. She makes predictions. Once
they come true, next thing you know,
she's removed from quarantine by one
of our field agents.
TEACHER
You can't bring Maia back to school
any more. We have to consider the other
students.
MAIA
It'll be OK.
DIANA
I''s not OK.
MAIA
Somebody will make everything better.
LYTTEL
Next case, Shawn Farrell, aged 17. Disappeared
in April of 2001 . It's a little thin.
NIKKI
Me breaking up with Danny is not about
you.
SHAWN
OK.
LYTTEL
I need to ask you a few questions about
Kyle Baldwin.
SHAWN
I don't know what happened. I put my
hands on him, that's it. Woke up...
KYLE
Don't touch me.I recognise you but I
don't know who you are.
TOM
What are you doing?
KYLE
I'm looking.
TOM
For what?
KYLE
For me. I finally understand. They're
not the strangers. I am. I'm not Kyle
Baldwin.
PRESENT
Kyle is in a hospital room with his mother. He's using the remote
to flick through TV channels
LINDA
Kyle.
KYLE
I'm not Kyle.
LINDA
Then who are you?
KYLE
I don't know. I need more screens.
LINDA
OK.
Tom is out in the hallway with Dr Mayhew
DR MAYHEW
Your son is experiencing a dissociative
disorder. That's not uncommon for newly
awakened coma patients. He feels disconnected
from his personality.
TOM
We knew he'd need to adjust but he doesn't
know who he is.
DR MAYHEW
This is frustrating but you did the
right thing bringing him back here.
TOM
Yeah. So what now?
DR MAYHEW
We need to do another cranial MRI. They'll
be here in an hour to take him downstairs.
I know this is difficult, Tom. But Kyle's
come this far. We can't give up now.
Diana and Maia are buying some soda from a cart
DIANA
I think I've got the exact change.
TONY
Hello, cutie.
DIANA
Thanks.
They walk away
MAIA
How long have you known that man?
DIANA
Tony? About two years. He's nice.
MAIA
: He's very nice.
DIANA
Why do you say that?
MAIA
He's going to fall in love today.
DIANA
Tony? My God. Good for him. It's not
with me, is it?
MAIA
Nope.
DIANA
I didn't think so. Is there something
else, Maia?
MAIA
How long am l going to be like this?
DIANA
Like what?
MAIA
I don't want to know things before they
happen. I want to be normal, like I
used to be.
DIANA
It's gonna be OK, sweetie. Besides,
who's normal anyway?
MAIA
You are.
DIANA
Huh! You want to know a secret? Normal
people like me... ...they just wish
they were special, like you.
Back in Kyle's hospital room
KYLE
Put the television back on.
TOM
Kyle, when you came home you spent all
that time looking through your books.
Then the maps, now the TV. What are
you looking for? Maybe we can help you
look, too.
Kyle looks past him at the TV screen. Tom turns to Linda
TOM
Come here. You should go and get some
rest.
LINDA
I'm not leaving him.
TOM
All right. l'll go and grab some stuff.
Be back in a half hour, OK?
Linda gets some soda and as she turns she see's a group of men
walk into Kyle's room, including Lyttel She rushes forward and
grabs Kyle as he is taken out.
LINDA
What are you doing? Leave him alone!
Who are you people? I'm calling Security.
LYTTEL
I'm Agent Lytell. I work with your husband.
LINDA
I don't care who you work with.
She grabs Kyle and he turns and whispers into her neck
KYLE
Tell Tom I figured it out. I know where
I have to be.
LYTTEL
Don't worry. He's gonna be safe. The
government's gonna be supervising his
medical care from now on.
Homeland Security. Lyttel is in Ryland's office
RYLAND
You snatched that kid from a hospital?
What were you thinking?
LYTTEL
He's the only witness to an abduction.
RYLAND
Kyle Baldwin can't remember his own
name.
LYTTEL
Then we'll help him remember. His mother's
upset. lt's understandable. But DC sent
me here to get some results...
Tom rushes in and pushes Lyttel up against the wall
RYLAND
Tom!
TOM
Where's my son?
LYTTEL
Whoa! Get your hands off me Baldwin
Tom get's out a gun
.
TOM
I swear to God! I'll ask you one more
time.
LYTTEL
Ryland? You wanna give me somehelp?
RYLAND
It's a tough call.
TOM
Where's Kyle?
RYLAND
All right, Tom. You made your point.
Put the gun away.
LYTTEL
Dennis...Dennis.
RYLAND
Tom, put the gun away.
He puts the gun away and takes a walk in the hallway with Ryland
TOM
You should have let me pull the trigger.
RYLAND
I was tempted. But shooting Lytell won't
get Kyle back.
TOM
I t'd make me feel a hell of a lot better.
Why Kyle? Why didn't he go after Shawn?
RYLAND
Our doctors went over Shawn dozens of
times. Kyle's new territory for them.
TOM
New territory? That's my son.
RYLAND
I know that.
TOM
Can't you call DC?
RYLAND
What good would that do? DC put Lytell
here in the first place. They're backing
his play.
TOM
So we do nothing?
RYLAND
I didn't say that. We'll get Kyle back.
TOM
When?
RYLAND
For Christ's sake, l don't know. I just
heard an hour ago. I don't know where
Lytell put him.
TOM
Not good enough, Dennis. I'm not gonna
sit around around while you play phone
tag with some beauracrat. I'm getting
my son.
Tom begins to walk away and Ryland grabs him
TOM
Get your hands off.
RYLAND
Tom! We go back a long way. If you try
to go around me on this, none of it
matters.
TOM
I know.
He bumps into Diana, but keeps on walking
DIANA
Tom, what happened between you and Lytell?
TOM
Ask Ryland.
DIANA
Tom! Tom!
TOM
What?
DIANA
If you're in trouble, I need to know.
She follows him out to the car
TOM
Why?
DIANA
Cos I might be able to help.
TOM
Diana, just stay out of it, all right?
DIANA
Drive the car.
Lily is at Doctor's Kern's office
DR KERN
Blood work looks fine, the RH factor
levels are normal and your calcium's
OK. So how do you feel, Lily?
LILY
It's hard sometimes.
DR KERN
That's to be expected. Now, where was
I? Oh, right. l'll have to draw some
more amniotic fluid.
LILY
Why? ls something wrong?
Richard and Lily sit on a park bench in the 4400 complex.
RICHARD
What kind of genetic anomaly?
LILY
All I know is she wants to grow one
of the baby's chromosomes in a lab.
RICHARD
It'll be OK.
Collier passes by in a golf cart
COLLIER
It's gonna be a beautiful 18 holes.
Either of you play golf?
RICHARD
I'm afraid not.
COLLIER
That's too bad.
RICHARD
Listen, about that doctor you sent us
to.
COLLIER
Roxanne Kern. She's the best OBGYN in
the Pacific northwest. You're in good
hands. So how did that support group
meeting go?
LILY
It went well, thank you.
COLLIER
Nobody complain about the catering?
LILY
I have to admit, the lobster sushi was
a great idea.
COLLIER
You see? You just have to trust me.
Your girlfriend has quite an imagination.
She thought I was trying to steal her
away from you. Can you believe that?
RICHARD
Er...not really. I like your confidence.
See? You were worried about nothing.
LILY
I wasn't worried.
Shawn and Nikki are sat in his car watching Danny across the
street
NIKKI
We've gotta tell him.
SHAWN
I'll do it. lt should be me.
NIKKI
When?
SHAWN
Soon. I can't take all this sneaking
around. Besides, I miss seeing you.
NIKKI
I miss you, too.
Tom and Diana are arguing in the park
DIANA
You suspected that Shawn had these abilities
since his coming home party and you
never told me. Thanks for sharing.
TOM
I never told Linda either.
DIANA
Yeah, but you're divorcing her. I'm
your partner.
TOM
Yeah, I know. When we were first assigned
to the 4400, you were calling them disease
vectors and viruses.
DIANA
I know what I was calling them. But
have you noticed any change in me lately?
Maybe because, I dunno, I have one of
them living in my apartment?
TOM
Alright. Point taken.
DIANA
Because if the situation were reversed,
I would have told you.
TOM
I heard you, all right? Can we continue
the reprimand later?
DIANA
Fine. What are we going to do about
Kyle?
TOM
''We''?
DIANA
Of course ''we''.
TOM
We are gonna go find him and bring him
home.
DIANA
Then we better get to work.
Collier's office. His secretary is on the phone
SECRETARY
I'm sorry. Mr Collier is not available
right now. I'll have him return your
call..... Thank you, Dr Kern.
Richard enters
RICHARD
Dr Kern, the OBGYN?
SECRETARY
Mm-hm.
RICHARD
Jordan about to have a baby?
SECRETARY
I wouldn't know.
RICHARD
Huh. Here's the security logs he asked
to see.
SECRETARY
I'll put them on his desk.
RICHARD
Can l see Jordan's phone logs for the
last couple of weeks?
SECRETARY
What for?
RICHARD
He's been receiving some threatening
mail. I want to crosscheck it with his
incoming calls.
SECRETARY
It doesn't leave this office.
Richard arrives at Dr Kerns office
RICHARD
I need to see Dr Kern right now.
NURSE
Mr Tyler, she can't be disturbed. Mr
Tyler!
Richard rushes into the office
RICHARD
This won't take long. Dr Kern.
NURSE
I told him you were busy.
KERN
Does Lily have an appointment?
RICHARD
No. Why do you call Jordan Collier every
time she comes to see you?
KERN
My phone habits don't concern you.
RICHARD
I think they do. What does Collier know
about Lily's baby that she doesn't?
He returns home
LILY
Sickle cell anaemia? How can my baby
have the trait for sickle cell anaemia?
Unless the father's black.
RICHARD
Maybe he is.
LILY
What are you saying, Richard?
RICHARD
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?
LILY
The baby's carrying the sickle cell
trait. That brings us closer. Maybe
he doesn't want that to happen.
RICHARD
Maybe. I think it's time me and him
had a talk.
Homeland Security
Lyttell is working on a laptop
LYTTEL
Michelle Hickock, returnee number 938.
She's coming in at 4:00 for counselling
and I want to see her afterwards, OK?
Tom walks past and phones Marco who is with Diana in the theory
room
TOM
He's logged on.
MARCO
Lytell's on the network. You good to
go?
DIANA
Tom really appreciates you helping him.
MARCO
I'm not doing it for Tom.
Lyttel notices Tom standing in a doorway staring at him
Tom enters the theory room
DIANA
Come on. So, Kyle's being held at the
quarantine Centre, building 9, sub-basement
3.
TOM
That's great. l owe you.
DIANA
OK. Well...
TOM
Marco, thanks for your help.
MARCO
No worries.
TOM
You ready to roll?
DIANA
I think we should wait for the nightshift.At
least they're half staffed.
TOM
OK. I'll pick you up at 4:00.
DIANA
See you.
Tom's house
LINDA
Here, this is the place. lt's just outside
of the city in West Belleview.
TOM
How do you know the seller isn't going
to be there?
LINDA
He's in Spain for three months. Another
realtor told me. It'll be a perfect
safe house.
TOM
Set it up. Make sure you're not followed
on the way there.
LINDA
You think I'm being watched?
TOM
If was Lytell, I'd keep an eye on you.
Just remember to check your rearview
mirror and stay cool.
LINDA
I remember what you taught me. I just
never thought I'd have to use it.
TOM
You'll do fine. I'll get Kyle and I'll
meet you up there.
LINDA
I'll be waiting.
They kiss
LINDA
You be careful.
TOM
I will.
Danny is at Nikki's house. He's bought her some earrings
DANNY
They're nice, huh? I remember how much
you told me you liked moonstones.
NIKKI
I do. But I can't accept these.
DANNY
Why not? I mean, I got them for you.
Come on, Nikki. Look, I know I messed
up.
NIKKI
Didn't Shawn talk to you?
DANNY
Shawn: What does he have to do with
anything? Nikki?
Diana arrvies to pick Maia up from daycare
TEACHER
Hey.
DIANA
Maia ready?
TEACHER
Maia's over by the playground, talking
with one of your colleagues.
MAIA
Some of the clothes look funny. And
the cars. But I don't know. Video games
are kind of fun.
LYTTEL
Did you like the video games in the
rec room at quarantine?
MAIA
I hardly ever got a chance to play.
DIANA
Lytell, what are you doing here?
LYTTEL
Just talking with Maia. I thought it
was time we met.
DIANA
Stay away from her.
LYTTEL
That's not really your call, is it?
Maia, it was nice talking with you.
We'll do it again soon.
He leaves
MAIA
I don't like him. And he doesn't really
like me either.
DIANA
Well, don't you worry about him.
MAIA
Are you sure?
DIANA
Oh! You listen to me, Maia. l am absolutely
sure. I am not gonna let anything bad
happen to you. Hear me? All right?
MAIA
OK.
Collier is in the hot tub at his home. Richard arrives
RICHARD
Jordan, do you have a minute?
COLLIER
I know why you're here. Roxanne Kern
called me as soon as you left her office.
I hope you and Lily aren't blowing this
up into something bigger than it is,
cos a doctor's trying to get on my good
side.
RICHARD
We appreciate everything you've done,
from the house to my job. Our lives
have been a lot more comfortable since
we met.
COLLIER
You're gonna hurt me now, aren't you?
RICHARD
It's time you back off. Let us run our
own lives.
COLLIER
Whatever you want. Tell Lily I said
hi, will you?
RICHARD
I'll do that.
Tom knocks on Diana's door
TOM
You good to go?
DIANA
Just give me a sec.
She walks over to speak with the babysitter
DIANA
Gloria, just remember what I told you.
Don't answer the door to anyone you
don't know, OK? Cool.
MAIA
Are you leaving now?
DIANA
Yeah. I'll be back before you wake up.
MAIA
OK.
DIANA
Better go. Bye.
TOM
Diana.
MAIA
Don't worry. You'll find him.
TOM
Find who?
MAIA
Your son, Kyle. He's the answer.
TOM
The answer to what?
MAIA
Everything.
Diana walks up to a guard at the building where Kyle is being
held
DIANA
I want to see Kyle Baldwin, please.
GUARD
You're not on the list.
DIANA
I'm a friend of the family. I want to
know that he's all right. He's not even
one of the 4400 and his father works
with me and if you could just give me
something I could tell him cos... Come
on, we're both supposed to be on the
same side, right?
GUARD
I'll see what I can find out.
DIANA
Great. Thank you so much. That's great.
As he turns she injects him in the back and he falls to the ground
DIANA
You won't even have a headache when
you wake up. Well, maybe a little headache.
She uses the phone
DIANA
Come on in.
Tom and Diana rush into Kyle's room
TOM
Kyle. Hey, buddy. lt's me, buddy.
KYLE
Highland Beach.
TOM
What about it?
KYLE
That's where I have to go.
DIANA
Highland Beach.
TOM
Let's get you out of here first, ok?
Come on. Up.
Tom phones Linda from the car
TOM
We got him Linda. He's sitting right
here next to me. He's about the same.
No worse, anyway. See you in a little
while.
DIANA
How far away is this safe house?
TOM
It's about 30 miles.
TOM
Your mom's waiting for you, buddy.
KYLE
No. Highland Beach.
Kyle grabs the wheel
TOM
Hey! Kyle! Let go! Kyle!
KYLE
Highland Beach!
TOM
Let go! Let go!
DIANA
Calm down!
KYLE
We have to go there now.
DIANA
What's at Highland Beach?
TOM
That's where Shawn disappeared.
KYLE
I have to go back there, now!
TOM
Just calm down, buddy. Just... If that's
what you want, we'll take you.
DIANA
Are you sure about that?
TOM
Kyle's the answer, right?
Lyttel walks up to Ryland at Homeland Security
LYTTEL
Two agents of your agents are operating
outside of the ten.
RYLAND
I noticed. You know why? Because you
pulled the Baldwin kid out of the hospital.
LYTTEL
DC wouldn't see it that way.
RYLAND
: DC thought it was a good move to send
you here.
LYTTEL
Are we gonna bring him in or not?
Ryland whispers to Sid
RYLAND
Find him.
Lily walks into Colliers outer office and hands some paperwork
to Sally
LILY
Sal, these people are coming to the
next meeting. It's a little bigger than
the last so we may need a couple more
tables.
SALLY
I'll take care of it.
LILY
Thank you.
Collier comes out of his office
COLLIER
Lily. Can I see you for a minute?
LILY
I have a few errands to run.
COLLIER
This won't take long.
He show's her a newspaper from years before that has the headline
'Trial Date Set For Negro In Assault Case'
LILY
Where did you get this?
COLLIER
I've been doing security checks on everyone
who's moved into the complex. Don't
look shocked, Lily. A lot of people
would love to see me fall on my face
here. A scandal like this would allow
them to force me out of the company.
LILY
Richard wouldn't do this.
COLLIER
I'd have thought so, too. I guess we
were both wrong.
LILY
Do you really think this is going to
change the way I feel about him?
COLLIER
That's up to you. But Lily... you really
have to ask yourself... Is this the
man you want raising your baby?
Later at home, she shows the paper to Richard
LILY
Aren't you gonna say something?
RICHARD
It was my 23rd birthday. A bunch of
guys from the barracks invited me out
to a bar.
LILY
You don't drink.
RICHARD
Didn't then either. But these guys....It
was a big deal them asking me to come
along. In those days, Negroes and whites
didn't do much socialising. So I went.
It was kind of nice, you know? Then
this woman started coming onto 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.
LILY
That's it? That's all that happened?
RICHARD
That's all it took in 1945.
LILY
But the statement the woman made to
the police. I mean... It's so detailed.
RICHARD
But Lily, none of it's true. If I hadn't
been exonerated of those charges, do
you think the air force have sent me
to flight school? Made me a pilot? The
woman lied. The charges got dropped.
LILY
Why would Jordan bring this up?
RICHARD
He wants you doubt me. Doubt us. Do
you?
LILY
We've gotta pack whatever we can in
five minutes. We're getting out of here.
Homeland Security is tracking Tom's car
SID
They're heading west on Sandburg.
LYTTEL
There are no freeways in that direction.
RYLAND
Highland Beach. That's where they're
going. Have my car brought around.
LYTTEL
I'm coming.
RYLAND
I don't care what you do, just keep
your mouth shut and stay out of my way.
Shawn is at home,sat at a table with his mother
SHAWN
Come on, Mom. Are you serious? The movies?
Like, you and me?
SUSAN
Is that so weird? We used to go to the
movies all the time.
SHAWN
When I was six.
Danny rushes in
DANNY
Shawn! You prick!
Danny punches him
SHAWN
Danny!
SUSAN
Danny!
Shawn throws him into a chair
SHAWN
Listen to me...
DANNY
You goddamn freak!
SUSAN
Danny, stop this! Boys, please! Danny,
Shawn, stop!
Danny is punching Shawn who is on the floor. Suddenly, Shawn
places his hand on Shawn's chest
SHAWN
Stop blaming me for Nikki! Don't you
see it's over between you two?
The life is being drained out of him. Susan pulls Danny away
SUSAN
That's enough! Shawn, stop it! You're
killing him!
SUSAN
What did you do?
SHAWN
I don't know. I didn't mean to do anything!
SHAWN
Danny!
SUSAN
Get away from him!
Shawn leaves the house and Nikki approaches him
NIKKI
Shawn? I heard you guys shouting.
SHAWN
Don't touch me.
NIKKI
What?
SHAWN
Don't touch me. 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.
NIKKI
Shawn...
SHAWN
I love you, Nikki.
NIKKI
I love you. What are you doing? Shawn!
No! Stay here and talk about this. Shawn!
Shawn, what are you doing? Shawn!
Lily and Richard are putting suitcases in the boot of their car,
when Collier and another man pull up
COLLIER
What's all this?
RICHARD
What's it look like?
COLLIER
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.
RICHARD
We'll risk it.
COLLIER
Lily, think about the baby.
LILY
What has the baby to do with this?
COLLIER
Everything. That baby could be the key
to the future and I can protect it better
than Richard or anyone.
RICHARD
Lily, get in the car.
COLLIER
I can't let you do that.
Richard pulls out a gun
RICHARD
Stay away from her.
LILY
Argh!
Lily is in pain. Collier grabs her. As Richard fights off the
others, Collier has his hand on Lily's stomach. The baby is not
happy and appears to be causing him great pain. He falls to the
ground and Richard and Lily get into the car
COLLIER
Go ahead! Run! It won't do you any good.
I will find you. That baby belongs with
me.
Highland Beach
TOM
Kyle! Kyle, we've been walking for ten
minutes. What are you looking for? Maybe
we can help you, Kyle. This is where
we found him.
DIANA
We're running out of time.
TOM
Kyle, I brought you here like you asked.
But if there's something you need to
do, you better do it fast.
KYLE
I belong here.
Shawn arrives at Collier's complex
SHAWN
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 l'm asking is if I could
stay here for a while.
COLLIER
Shawn, you're one of the 4400. As far
as I'm concerned,you can stay here as
long as you want.
SHAWN
That's great, man. Thanks. Thank you.
COLLIER
So, erm...tell me a little bit more
about this ability of yours.
Lily and Richard are in the car
LILY
Any idea where we're headed?
RICHARD
I'll know it when I see it.
LILY
He's gonna come after us. The baby likes
that. You know...it really wouldn't
be so bad, would it? If you were the
father?
RICHARD
No, it wouldn't be bad at all.
Highland Beach. Ryland and Lyttel arrive with other agents
LYTTEL
That's their car. Let's go.
RYLAND
Now, listen, these are not criminals.
They're two of our own. Keep your gun
holstered. There's no cause for anybody
to get hurt.
TOM
Kyle, they're coming for you. They're
gonna want to take you away.
KYLE
They're too late.
Kyle looks upwards and begins to gasp. A blue light starts to
emanate from his chest. Tom rushes forward
TOM
Kyle!
DIANA
No! Tom, don't!
They are both enveloped in a white light. The next moment they
are standing by the water in the daylight.
TOM
Kyle?
KYLE
Tom.
TOM
You're not my son, are you?
ALTER KYLE
No. Kyle was meant to be a channel,
a way to communicate.
TOM
Communicate with who?
ALTER KYLE
With you. To guide you in your dealings
with the returnees. But something went
wrong. Shawn interrupted the process.
TOM
That's what put him in a coma. He was
like that for three years, because of
you.
While the conversation is taking place, we see the scene from
Diana's point of view. Tom and the being inside Kyle's body are
turning slowly within the white light.
DIANA
Tom! Tom. Tom.
Ryland and the others arrive
Back with Tom
TOM
Who are you? What are you?
ALTER KYLE
I'm human. Like you.
TOM
No. You're nothing like me.
ALTER KYLE
I come from a different time. That is
all.Your future.
TOM
Is that where you took them? My nephew
and all the others?
ALTER KYLE
We needed them.
TOM
For what?
ALTER KYLE
To survive
Ryland approaches Diana

Back with Tom
ALTER KYLE
In my time, humanity is dying out.
TOM
You mean it's all going to end? Everything?
Diana explains events to Ryland
RYLAND
What the hell is going on?
DIANA
Kyle brought us out here. It's like
he knew it was going to happen.
LYTTEL
Did you ever think that maybe he's not
Kyle Baldwin. He kept claiming he wasn't.
Maybe he's telling the truth.
RYLAND
Tom? Tom, are you all right?
LYTTEL
We can't just stand around, we've got
to do something. He could take Baldwin
with him. Or kill him.
RYLAND
Hey! Nobody is gonna do anything until
we know what's going on in there.
Back with Tom and the person from the future
ALTER KYLE
Only those we took could prevent the
catastrophe from happening. That's why
they've been altered and seeded back
into the timeline.
TOM
Why here? Why now?
ALTER KYLE
Because history tells us this is where
the path to oblivion began.
TOM
And the people you took are gonna stop
that from happening? How?
ALTER KYLE
They've already begun their work. And
you have begun yours.
Lyttel and the others are getting more desperate
DIANA
Tom, come on.
LYTTEL
Do something or I will.
Diana doesn't want to wait anymore
DIANA
That's it. I need you out of there.
Tom doesn't know what to do
TOM
I don't understand. What is their work?
What are we supposed to do?
ALTER KYLE
You have to help them.
TOM
Help them? How?
Diana touches the light and is thrown back. Lyttel shoots at
it
LYTTEL
Go!
Tom is getting closer to the answer
TOM
How?
The bullet from Lyttel's gun has entered Kyles chest
TOM
You're bleeding.
The light vanishes and Kyle's body falls to the floor. Ryland
grabs Lyttel's gun
DIANA
Oh, God. Get an ambulance. Now!
TOM
Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!
Stay with me, Kyle! Stay with me! Stay
with me! Look at me! Look at me! Stay!
Stay! No! No! Kyle! Kyle! Look at me!
Look at me! Stay with me, Kyle! Stay
with me! Stay with me! Come on! Come
on! No!
Kyle dies
DIANA
Tom...
Kyle suddenly takes in a breath. A bright light envelops him.
He opens his eyes and it appears that the human from the future
inhabiting his body is gone
KYLE
Dad?
TOM
Kyle!
KYLE
What are you doing here? Where's Shawn?
TOM
Kyle?
KYLE
Dad? I can explain about the beer.
TOM
No! Forget the beer. You don't have
to explain anything.
DIANA
What's going on?
RYLAND
Tom. Tom. What did you see?
TOM
I got you, Kyle.
Six months later, Lily and Richard are living in a cabin. Richard
is tending the fire, while Lily sit's on a bed. She seem's to
be in pain.
LILY
The baby.
RICHARD
It's time? I'll get the car.
As they drive down a road, the tree's that are lining it, bow
down to them as though in deference.
THE END
