Alex was killed in a car crash,
which usually means accident, but the police thought it could be a suicide.
Now those of us who knew Alex know
that he would never ever do something like that, which is why I went back to the accident
and Liz-she went somewhere else entirely.
She has decided that Alex was murdered
by an alien,
which is why now there's this huge rift between Max and Liz.
I mean, it's beyond the worst fight they ever had,
but I think that Liz will be able to keep pursuing this without any interference from Max
because he's a little preoccupied lately.
It was just one kiss; a moment of weakness.
I doubt it went any further than that?
- Hey. - Hey.
- I guess I'll see you at school... - Yeah.
Is everything ok?
Yeah... yeah great.
Where the hell have you...?
Max!
Go to your room.
Yes, sir.
Sheriff...
Go home, Max. We'll talk about this later.
Right.
Hey, Dad.
Oh my god...
- Liz, do you know what time it is? - I need to talk to you.
Alex and his supposed girlfriend Leanna standing in front of some building in Sweden
now the problem is... the building was torn down in 1994.
1994, Maria, think about, Alex was ten.
Ok, I'm so creeped out right now. So who's Leanna then?
You know she could be some girl that Alex never met,
put in these photos with him, just like the buildings.
Or she could be an alien killer.
So wait, if Alex never went to Sweden and
he wasn't here, then where was he?
I don't know, that's what we got to find out.
I can't do this by myself. I really need your help.
Morning.
You-you're going for a run?
That must be up to five to six miles by now.
Look, I know you're still mad and everything,
but uh, I-I really need to uh, to talk to someone.
Well, it's not easy to say, but uh,
especially to my sister, but uh,
you know that Tess and I have been giving a long
and kind of cross and last night,...
we... things... something came up between us...
something happened.
- You slept with her?! - Yeah.
Wow. Congratulations, Max.
You lost your virginity.
Is..
Oh gee, I'm sorry. Were you looking for some sort of comfort
or sympathy before you went off and washed her
dried sweat from your body?
Or hey, did you guys do it in the shower?
Forget it.
His majesty will now retire to his room!
We didn't plan it, alright? It just happened.
I'm feeling a little weird about it right now and...
- I'm just hoping... - You were wrong.
I don't care about your morning after anxieties,
or your delicate feelings, because my feelings sure as hell don't matter to you!
Hey
Listen, I wanted to talk to you about something.
Oh.. Yeah.
- Yo. - Hey, Michael.
- Hey. - Hey.?
Tess and I were actually just talking.
Alright, later.
- Great! - Fantastic.
We can talk about it tonight.
- Are you sure? - Yeah. There's no rush.
Max, if it's better for you to keep all this
between the two of us right now...
No, no it's not.
So, how do you feel about this whole Max/Tess development?
Well, I'm not speaking to my brother, so if you have something you want to know, you'll have to ask him.
God, I hate this place,
do you think I have to just sit here and rot for the rest of my life?
You know what, you aliens are the most pathetic group of people
that I ever met.
Goodbye, Kyle.
"Oh, we've got to keep our secret safe; we've got to be boring and brooding".
If I had one tenth of your power...
What would you do?
I'd have fun! You know, fun?
Enjoying myself, getting away from this whole doom and gloom thing
you guys wallow in, especially you lately.
Shut up.
What's your idea of fun?
I'm not touching that.
Jody Ann Paterson likes long walks in the rain, unicorns, and funny guys.
A playmate? Are you serious?
Oh, man,
she's not just some playmate, she's playmate of the whole freakin' year.
All right, are you sure it's going to work?
Well, it has in the past, but of course that was a
life-and-death situation.
Well, then I'll die happy. Oh, good.
Hey, make her dump her water on her top.
I'm gonna have to read Backlash twice after this!
Why don't you just go talk to her?
- Can I? Really? - Yeah.
This is... what do I say?
Talk to her about unicorns.
Hey Jody Ann.
This is a private gym.
Who are you?
I'm the towel boy. The showers are this way.
Ohh! No!
Oh, this may comes as a surprise to you, but I really don't need to see that!
Well, then bring a book, let's go back.
No dice!
Oh well that was good for me, what can we do for you?
Have I mention that I hate my brother?
We can blow him up.
You really have a sick little mind, don't you?
Isabel, Buddha teaches us that some of us are born with stones
and some of us are born with jewels, but the most that fulfilled of us
are those who were born with stones and turn them into jewels.
What the hell are you talking about?
-You wanna get back at your brother, right? - Yes.
Ok, then bring your powers to the party and I'll drive.
All right.
I uh, I need you to tell me exactly where this email is sent from.
You're Liz Parker's friend, right?
Maria DeLuca, it's really nice to meet you, so...
Um, the origination point has been encrypted.
Obviously, I-I need you to do your computer nerd stuff
and figure out exactly where this email came from.
You're asking me to do something illegal.
And...
You seem quiet.
I'm not.
Max, this just isn't the time to feel you pulling away from me.
It's just... what happened between us
it has all these...
implications.
What did you want to say to me before?
Oh, I don't know if it was such a good time.
That's ok.
Well, something sort of came up.
Came up?
I'm not sure how to say this...
I'm pregnant.
- Liz. - Hi, Tess.
So, are you here about me and Max?
No, um, I... well,
I wanted to talk to you, actually.
Oh, sure.
Um, I just um,
you know I have questions about your powers,
mind control especially.
What kind of questions?
You know, um, anything that you can tell me, but um, like...
Hey, your door's...
What are you doing here?
Um, nothing, you know, we were just... we're talking, I should go.
Talking about what?
Nothing.
Max, you know, it's ok, forget about it.
No, I wanna know.
We'll just talk later.
No, please don't go on my account. Go ahead and ask your questions.
Max, she's just had a few questions about my powers, that's all.
- New theory? - I just...
wanted to know some things about mind control and I thought-
Oh, so Tess killed Alex. Is that your theory?
No.
- Max, she didn't say that. - That's what you're thinking,
- why don't you just ask it?! - Max, of course that's not what I'm thinking!
Tess, did you kill Alex?
- Max. - What were you doing on the night that he died?
- Will you stop it?! - Go ahead! what were you doing?!
She was with me. We were watching Gladiator on video.
An alibi.
From one of your own.
- Can I leave now? - Yep.
- Is everything ok? - Fine!
Yeah, yeah everything's fine, Kyle.
Liz! Liz!
What?
I was thinking to myself, right.
How is it that Alex sent these emails from Sweden
when he's isn't actually in Sweden, right? So, I took the emails that he sent me
and went to Derek, all right,
and he used his nerdness to uncover that the emails
were sent from right here in New Mexico.
Are you telling me that Alex never left Roswell?
No, he-he did, he just-he didn't go far.
The emails were sent from a dorm room from the University of New Mexico in Las Cruces.
Got everything?
Michael.
Where are you going?
Santa Fe.
What's in Santa Fe?
Uh, Alex's... grandmother, she couldn't make it to the funeral
and so they are having a memorial service.
Right.
Let me talk to Maria for a second, it's personal.
Ok, sure, uh...
- You could take this. - Yes, I'll just be in the car.
-Where are you going? - Santa Fe.
Maria, where are you going?
- Michael. - Liz doesn't want us to know
because she and Max are at war, so here's the thing:
I'm not going to tell Max,
but I need to know, because if wherever you're going
turns out to be dangerous, I'm sure as hell gonna be there
to protect you.
So, where are you going?
We're going to Las Cruces, to the University.
And if Liz found out that I told you, I will lose her as a friend.
First sign of danger - you contact me.
Promise?
- Absolutely promise? - Yes.
- Liz and Maria aren't in school today. - Yeah, I noticed.
- Have any idea where they are? - No
I don't have enough to deal with already.
-Look at this! - Mine sucks, too.
So, what else are you dealing with?
Just stuff, you know.
Relationship stuff.
Well, Tess and I are sort of...
Yeah, I know.
The thing is the other night, things between us kind of?advanced.
How far did they advance?
I would say they advanced just about as far as possible.
You and Tess actually had...
...Hot alien sex, yes.
How was it?
Well, it's probably a lot like human sex. Except the point of culmination.
The point of what?
You kinda feel like you're floating
and this-this hot electric energy courses through your body.
How long does that last?
About an hour.
The thing is, there's been a complication.
What? Alien herpes?
No, nothing like that.
Whoa, clearly, you didn't have any performance problems, and other than getting Tess pregnant
which you're too smart to do,
what else could there be?
You got Tess pregnant?
Holy crap!
She says it's growing fast.
Nasedo said alien pregnancies take about a month.
What's inside her? I mean, is it human? Is it alien?
Well, we can't exactly go get a sonogram.
You're actually going to go through with this?
I don't know if I have any choice here. This is out in my hands.
- I can't tell Tess what to do! - Why not? You're the king.
Which makes her the queen
Maxwell, if this thing comes out green with four fingers and three eyes,
that puts a major cramp in our hide-in-plain-sight strategy.
So, what are you suggesting?
I'm suggesting you point out to Tess how this could screw up our lives...
forever.
She's gotta know - this affects all of us!
- Probably empty. -Nothing.
Excuse me? Can I help you with anything?
Uh, yeah, um, actually we are looking for a friend who stayed in this room for a while.
Ray.
- Ray? - Yes, Ray.
He was here for a couple of months; hardly said a word; very weird guy.
Did he see what he was doing here and maybe like why he came in the middle of the semester and all?
You don't understand. Ray never left the room.
The only time he opened the door was when they delivered his Thai food.
Thai food.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. Food fetish, if you ask me.
So, wait, you mean he literately never left the dorm?
Well, at least not in the daytime.
There was this one night I was out partying. I come back pretty late. I saw him coming out of the Litvack building.
It's, like, 4:00 in the morning. We're the only 2 people on campus.
We're like 5 feet away from each other.
The guy doesn't even acknowledge my presence. Pretty creepy.
Yeah, sounds it.
So what's in the Litvack building?
Computers. I mean I'm not really into that kind of stuff,
but apparently the university has this incredible super computer.
What are we doing here?
This is everything we have from where we come from.
This book...
if we knew how to read it, it would probably have all the answers for us.
What answers are we looking for?
I guess answers about what exactly we're getting ourselves into.
Tess, this is my child, too and I fully accept that,
but I also want you to know that this is your decision and I will respect
- whatever you decide... - Max, I'm having this baby.
Okay.
Thanks for the support.
I said I would stand by you.
Don't sound so excited about it.
Hey, my entire life changed overnight and I think I'm entitled to get a little freaked!
And I'm not?
Don't you think I'm a little flipped out by this whole...
That's not what I meant, I...
Max.
What is it?
The baby.
Max?
I... saw the baby.
It's a boy.
Hey Las Cruces, how are you doing tonight? Whoo
We're so close, Maria. We're so close to figuring this all out.
I hope so.
Oh my god, it's Nelly Furtado.
Please, one, one song?
Ok, one song.
Oh my gosh. Maria, that's her. That's the girl with the blond hair, that's Leanna, that's her.
Wait a minute, no way, no way. Let's see.
That's totally her. It's the girl from Sweden. What the hell is she doing here?
We have to go talk to her.
N-n-nooo, this is getting too dangerous. We have to call Michael-
She's leaving, we gotta go get her. Come on, come on.
Right there.
I wanna know everything.
OK, everyone, this is a fire drill. You know the procedure...
go to the nearest exit in a quietly and orderly fashion.
Ok, people, let's keep going, come on, keep moving.
This could be for real, keep moving. Moving, people.
Care to join us, Max? That's a classic.
Mr. Evans, I do not find this amusing. You can ever be certain
when a fire drill is an actual emergency.
I'm coming.
So, what exactly so special about these computers, anyway?
Nothing yet. Right now there just multi-million dollar toys.
The greatest potential's in the field of cryptography.
In theory, a quantum computer can break just about any code.
Okay, now where getting somewhere.
He was definitely trying to decode something; something major.
Is there any way of finding out what he was doing?
Maybe, I'm not sure if we did can penetrate.
Wanna try? Right.
What are you doing?
I've been thinking. If we're gonna have a baby, maybe we should get a place of our own.
You mean that? Really?
I don't know how practical it would be. I don't even know if you want to.
I want to start planning our future.
I just wonder if that future is gonna be in Roswell.
You want to go somewhere else?
I always thought the ultimate plan was to go home.
Our real home.
It is. Someday. But we don't know when that's gonna be.
I think we had enough to deal with this in here and now. Don't you?
Yeah, you're right.
It'll be in for just one second.
We found Leanna. Her real name is Jennifer Coleman.
Yeah, well, I'm onto something, too. You guys shouldn't be here.
I'll meet you in the quad.
I got a better idea; we're going back to Roswell.
Did Maria tell you what we found?
And you still don't believe anything's going on?
Forget it. Let's get out of here.
The situation isn't safe for you two.
We're too close to the truth. I'm not leaving.
This isn't optional. You're coming back with me.
You can't tell me what to do.
Liz, I found Ray's source material.
Pretty strange looking stuff. It's some sort of language. Looks kind of Native American.
Where the hell did this come from?
This is what Alex was working on while he was here.
What was he doing?
Decoding whatever this language is.
Translating it into English.
Exactly
Was he able to do it?
Well, he deleted all the results.
The last day he was here, he created this huge text file.
He emailed it to another address: jcoleman@ulascruces. edu.
Jcoleman. He emailed to Leanna.
You want regular or diet?
Regular. Thanks.
Tess?
Tess? Tess, what is it?
The baby. Something's wrong.
Max, what's wrong with him?
He's sick. It's the atmosphere. This planet is poisoning him!
Our son is dying.
I'm sorry. Jennifer isn't here.
Well, do you know when she's gonna be back?
Probably not for a few days. She had to go home all of a sudden.
All of a sudden?
Yeah, she got a call this morning, her mom's in the hospital,
- so she just packed up some stuff and went.
That's just terrible because I know that Jen and her mom are pretty close.
Listen, before she went, did she happen to give you notes from physics class she said that I can borrow?
No, she didn't say anything about it.
Oh, you know, they're probably in her room. You don't mind if we just, you know... Well, actually, she just?
Do you remember what hospital her mom's at?
I would just love to send some flowers, 'cause I really think the support of others,
you know, friends, can really help someone through a hard time.
Like, there was this time when my- my grandfather died. He did, and I was- I was just so wrecked,
I-
I couldn't stop crying, and then I received this
basket of cookies from...
from everybody in my English class, and it just put a smile on my face
for the first time in weeks.
Here we go. We got the notes. Thanks so much.
So Leanna did see us last night. She knew that we were on to her and she skipped town.
God, who knew we were so intimidating, huh?
Magazine renew notice, credit card application, bank statement,
something from Open Sky Property Management.
This is a bill for renting a property outside Las Cruces.
I'll drive.
Guessing not a party pad.
Why would anybody rent this?
Because they got something to hide.
Liz!
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
What was that?
I didn't see anything like that
Oh my god. This is it. The translation.
It's here.
What is that?
I don't know.
Michael
Alex's translation of the book.
All the answers, Michael
Even if Leanna has them now, so do we.
You slept for a few hours. How are you doing?
Better.
You warm enough?
I'm Ok. How it's going with the book?
I have no idea how to read it, that's the truth.
I thought how I wish what I think I thought.
I feel like I'm letting you down.
You're the one person I know I can count on in this world.
I have faith in you, Max. I always have.
When that happened before - when you fell
I guess I suddenly realized that I could lose you.
All this time I thought of you as this person
just would always wait for me- forever. I've been taking you for granted.
I'm sorry about that.
Hey, I'm a guy and I know what freaks guys out.
Max wakes up tomorrow - one testicle!
No thanks.
What?! What are you talking about?
We're in an alien joyride, sister. Sky's the limit..
This just isn't making me feel any better.
Well, can we like dreamwalk Jody Ann again?
I'm going.
But what about getting back at Max?
I'm over Max.
You know, Buddha teaches that this is...
Kyle, if you quote that fat, bald man to me one more time, you're gonna wake up, one of these mornings ZAP!
- Tess is pregnant. - What?
She's pregnant and the baby's dying because it can't live in this atmosphere.
And... I don't know what to do because I... I'm so scared.
And I don't know what to tell Mom and Dad
because I... it's like what would
I even tell them.
They don't know who I really am.
I feel so irresponsible, and stupid and...
I know this is supposed to happen, because it's our destiny.
Oh my God, what am I gonna do?
Max, come with me. Come on.
Do you remember Bigfoot?
My guinea pig?
Yeah. Do you remember what happened?
Mr. Martinelli's dog got into his cage and killed him.
Do you remember what happened the next day?
I don't.
It snowed.
It was the first time we ever seen it.
It snowed for two days.
Biggest storm to hit in Roswell in a century.
It was a disaster for everyone but us.
We built snowmen.
We made angels.
And pelted Michael with snowballs.
It was magic.
Just like this.
Max, I had no idea what you'd been going through.
My problems are really nothing compared to this, so I'm sorry.
No, they're not.
Your problems aren't nothing. They're important.
Your life is important.
I'm sorry for not realizing that.
We'll figure something out.
We'll figure something out for you and Tess and your...
do you know if it's a boy or a girl?
A boy.
Wow.
You're having a son.
Yeah, a son. A son!
A little public, isn't it?
It's a freak storm, you know, who cares?
Not me, I got bigger things to talk about.
Maxwell, there's two things I need to tell you.
First is, I've been lying to you about Maria, Liz,.
and the whole investigation.
Instead of stopping 'em, I've been helping 'em.
Second thing is,...
it was worth it.
What's this?
It's everything we've been looking for.
It's a translation to the book...
You know - the book.
You're kidding!
Not even a little.
Well what does it say?
It's the way home. We can go home.
