Kyle Baldwin is a fictional character in the USA Network Science Fiction television series '' The 4400 ''. CHARACTER HISTORY Season One Kyle is Tom and Linda Baldwin's son and Shawn Farrell 's cousin. The two were drinking beer at Highland beach in 2001 when Shawn was abducted. After Shawn's abduction, Kyle is shown comatose, and remains in that state from 2001 through to 2004. After Shawn returns, he discovers he has the power to heal people, and Shawn wakes Kyle up. Kyle is very weak and confused, and the situation becomes worse as Kyle eventually claims "I'm not Kyle Baldwin." Kyle persuades Tom to take him back to Highland Beach, where he is revealed to be possessed by a human being from the future. The future person reveals that Kyle was supposed to act as a communication channel between the future and Tom, to guide him in his dealings with the returned 4400 as they attempt to avoid the catastrophe that has caused humans to largely die out. However, as Shawn intervened to try and save Kyle, Shawn was taken instead, the side-effect of which left Kyle in a coma. Kyle is suddenly shot by Agent Lytell and appears to die; however, his body glows with a bright light, and the presence seemingly leaves him. Kyle is healed and his personality restored, his own memories ending just before Shawn's abduction. Season Two Following his "possession", Kyle has spent time in quarantine, which he is only too glad to be released from. He begins college, and forms a friendship with his tutor, as well as becoming closer to his other cousin, Danny Farrell. However, it later becomes clear that his ordeal is not yet over. Kyle begins to lose parts of time, finding himself in situations not consciously of his making. Although initially puzzling - such as when he is outside college, seemingly lost in a daydream - the situation quickly becomes alarming, as Kyle damages a shop window at night and is arrested. Terrified of going back to quarantine, Kyle does not inform his father of his blackouts. Eventually the purpose of his blackouts become clear, and Kyle is revealed to be the man responsible for the Assassination of Jordan Collier . It is possible that Kyle had become one of "the Marked", agents of the 4400-opposed faction in the future. Information in season four indicates that the marked are trapped in the present day, overriding the consciousness of the individuals they inhabit. They are also shown to be deeply opposed to Jordan Collier and his goals. Under the advice of his father, Kyle originally intends to keep his actions a secret, but guilt overwhelms him as another man is arrested and charged. Kyle willingly writes a confession letter and turns himself in to the authorities. Season Three Kyle is in prison for several months on murder charges. While in prison, for reasons that are not explained (though possibly hinted at when Tom Baldwin conducts an imaginary conversation with his own father under the influence of the Blink drug), he refuses to see or even speak to his father. When Jordan Collier returns from the dead, Jordan and his followers demand that a judge order Kyle's release, promising daily protests. Kyle is released. He has since begun touring, and speaking on behalf of Jordan Collier and the 4400 Center after apologizing for Collier's assassination. Kyle has come to believe that he should help the 4400 wherever he could, just like his father. He is portrayed considering injecting himself with Promicin at the end of season three. Season Four When season four starts he has injected himself with Promicin , hoping to gain healing abilities he could use to wake his cousin Shawn from a coma, but the promicin appears to have no effect on him. On the advice of a girl named Cassie he met in a park, he then uses another injection of promicin on Shawn to wake him from his coma. Kyle has the ability to see visions, displayed in the form of a girl named Cassie. Cassie, a seemingly normal girl, acts as a spirit guide that only he can see, leading Kyle to the answers he wants. However, it appears that Cassie may be in league with the Marked. She convinces Kyle to tip off NTAC to Richard Tyler's location, leading to Richard getting arrested and Isabelle being captured by a possessed Tom Baldwin. She also tells Kyle that he must stop Shawn because his actions are detrimental to Jordan Collier's movement. Ultimately, he can't bring himself to do this and he kidnaps Kevin Burkhoff instead as he is the one who is creating the promicin-profiency test, which can possibly derail the movement. |
