Previously on Roswell.
When things get intense,
sometimes we feel things, see things.
[Chattering, Shouting]
- This could never be normal, Max.
- What's so great about normal?
Did you really mean everything that you said
when we were alone tonight?
I don't remember.
I didn't mean to ruin your night.
I was wondering.
Maybe you wanted
to do somethin' together on Friday?
It can't be a date, Alex.
Don't you understand?
I mean, it can't be
anything like that.
[Michael]
It has gotten complicated.
Suddenly she wants to know
where I'm goin'after school.
She wants to have conversations.
She wants to talk about my feelings.
Like suddenly the eraser room's
not enough.
I'm gonna find Nasedo.
He's my family.
[Max] I think Nasedo is dangerous,
Michael.
You heard what Hubble said.
He's a killer, a shape-shifter,
and he's out there.
[Beeping]
[Low Chattering]
[Liz Narrating]
It's February 20.
I'm Liz Parker
and lately I've been
having these feelings
like I'm changing inside
and part of me doesn't
want to change.
Part of me always wants
to be my mom's little girl.
But the thing is
these feelings are strong
dangerous, undeniable.
It's like I have no choice.
It's like chemical.
[Maria]
Liz, nice strawberries.
#[Rock]
- Oh.
- Ooh.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm [Laughs] I'm fine.
- [Bell Rings]
You have a visitor.
Mmm.
Sweet.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I hope this
isn't my fault.
- Why would this be your fault?
- If I startled you.
No.
You know, I always knock over
strawberries this time of night.
Always.
I'm just gonna
go get more berries from
W-Wait.
Here's another one.
[Whispers]
Thanks.
What are you
doin' here, Max?
Well, I have orders from my planet
to take over the Earth.
Besides that.
I want to make sure
we can still be friends.
Yeah.
I mean, we are.
- Good.
- Why wouldn't we be?
- We really haven't been able to talk since
- What?
- That night.
- Max, people do a lot of
dumb things when they're drunk.
Anyway, I understand.
And we're friends?
Yeah.
We're friends.
Just friends?
Yeah.

- [Bell Dings]
- Liz, you did not look normal.
I didn't feel normal,
Maria.
L
It was the most
amazing, incredible
- Unbelievable, awe-inspiring
- No, Maria.
- This was different.
- Different how?
Um
- like, beyond.
- Wait.
- What?
- You guys didn't go, like, beyond?
- No, no, no.
- I was gonna say,
you were only out there five minutes.
I know.
Listen, Maria,
if l When
When I actually do it,
it is not gonna be
in between a plate of kielbasa
and a deep fryer.
Hmm.
I saw things, Maria.
Did you see things when
you and Michael kissed?
What exactly did you see?
Stars.
I have never
seen her like this.
So this was like the kiss
of the millennium?
Alex, if they actually do it,
she'll probably explode.
[Alex]
Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it.
So, anyway, did anything like that
ever happen to Maria when you two
No.
Maxwell, let me assure you,
you have not experienced anything
I have not experienced many times,
or caused to be experienced.
- Then how can you call yourself my friend?
- Why?
A friend wouldn't have kept
something like that to himself.
Okay, people.
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon.
Created in the millisecond
after the Big ***.
These simple molecules
are the basis
of all possible life-forms
in the universe
present and unaccounted for
or, so we think.
The conceit that
alien life-forms
would be like us
in any essential way
would be, uh, the wishful thinking
of a lonely planet
- [Pencil Hits Floor]
- That once believed it was
the center of the universe.
So, we're going to combine
hydrogen, liquid oxygen
and carbon today.
[Continues, Indistinct]
- [Gasps]
- Miss Parker!
Have you had an insight you wish
to share with the rest of the class?
No.
Mr.
Evans?
I was just returning
her pencil.
I'd like to see
both of you
immediately after last period
today in my classroom.
The primordial experience
known as detention.
Let's get busy, people.
- [Whistle Blows]
- [Students Chattering]
- Oh, Michael.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Did you hear?
- The Max-Liz thing, with the flashes.
She's your friend.
What do you think?
[Sighs] That Max and Liz
have discovered some new sensation.
It seems somewhat unlikely.
Extremely unlikely.
[Pleasurable Moaning]
- This feels good.
This feels really good.
- Yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
- [Whispering] Michael.
- What?
I can't believe it.
- What? What did you see?
- I, uh
I saw
a cluster of stars, like,
shooting through space.
Um, this, like,
incredible sunset
like, near the rings
of Saturn.
Did you see anything?
Yeah, I saw you
as a little girl
trying to tie her shoelaces
on her red sneakers.
You're kidding.
The red sneakers?
You're kidding.
The red sneakers?
[Bell Rings]
- What?
- Nothing.
[Panting]
Max, hold me.
[Beeping]
Ah! Oh, huh.
What exactly
is an eraser room?
It's a small room that
we use to clean the erasers
so that chalk dust doesn't
fly all over the school.
Wait.
I'm a little lost.
You mean Liz and Max were cleaning erasers
- when they created this disturbance?
- No.
They were what we
used to call "making out.
"
We're talking *** activity here,
not erasers.
Why don't we go
talk to them?
Uh, Miss Parker.
Mr.
Evans.
This is [Scoffs]
Completely wrong.
What did I get wrong,
Liz?
Well, i-it's just wrong that we're here.
I mean, any of us.
Well, then, perhaps you and Mr.
Evans
should have been less noisy.
You know, I think
I've heard enough.
Mom, this is not what you're thinking
right now.
Don't you believe me?
- What is it?
- Mom, it's just a mix-up.
They also cut
two academic classes.
Now, Liz and Max are honor students.
I think we'd all like to keep it that way.
I'm sure there's
an explanation for it.
I'm certain that Max wouldn't miss any of
his classes unless there was a good reason.
Max?
- Mom, this is no big
- Deal, right? You said that.
Mom, it's not like I've never kissed a boy
before in my entire life.
You know, I don't think it's the kissing,
but the actual volume that's the issue.
This is being totally blown
out of proportion.
Okay, we'll talk about this
later tonight.
Okay, I want you to come straight home
from school.
Is that agreed? Hmm?
No, I can't.
I have detention.
- [Bell Rings]
- Look, Mom, I gotta go, okay?
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Oh!
- Liz, what's goin' on?
Alex, the most incredible thing
is happening to me
but l I don't even
know what it is.
What?
Hot! Hmm!
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Mm.
Oh, now I have that little piece
of skin hanging down
from when
the pizza's too hot.
Yeah, well, um, speaking of hot,
this whole Liz-Max thing?
- Mm-hmm?
- Well, I was just wondering, you know
in the interest of science, kissing being
purported to provoke these certain insights
you know, I wanted to,
you know, offer myself as a
as a human subject
available for experimentation.
- It's not gonna happen, Alex.
- Right.
Right, right.
- Thought I'd give it a shot.
- Yeah.
You want some pizza?
Uh, yeah.
Pizza's always good.
Ah, Miss Parker.
I'm happy to see you're taking
a renewed interest in science.
Well Well, go ahead.
It looks like you have a question?
Yeah, what is this?
Oh.
Well, that's
the Whirlwind Galaxy.
Could there be a red star, or a red something
in this area that isn't on this chart?
Well, it could
be a red giant.
A red giant.
Isn't that
Yeah, that's a star that's in its
last stages of its life cycle, right?
Yes.
A-plus yet again.
The problem is
the light from a red giant is weak.
So weak, we usually can't pick it up
with our telescopes.
Oh.
Um, well, thank you very much.
Thanks.
May I ask what has inspired
your sudden interest in astronomy?
It's just beautiful.
Eh, the universe is beautiful.
Yes.
Lovely.
- [Clears Throat]
- Ah.
I see your partner in crime.
Here are your
detention assignments.
[Sighs]
You are an excellent student, Miss Parker.
I'd hate to see anything
get between you and the, uh
beauty of the universe.
What was that about?
Uh, Max, I have
to show you something.
Max, you know the things I saw,
the stars and everything?
I didn't make them up.
They're real.
Max, I saw this.
I saw it.
Max, this afternoon
I think I saw the crash.
- [Knocking]
- Honey?
- Yeah?
- Um
You really have strong feelings about
this boy, don't you? Max, I mean.
Mom, I have, like, a really hard time
talking about this kind of stuff.
I have to talk about it.
So if you can't
talk right now, can you at least just listen?
Yeah.
Don't ever have sex.
Don't ever leave this
house.
Don't ever stop being my baby girl.
- [Exhales] Okay.
- Mom
- I'm not having sex with him.
- That's good, because, um
once you enter that world
you know, *** intimacy
- everything changes.
- Mom, l
I want you to know that you
don't ever have to lie to me about this.
- Really.
Okay?
- Okay.
Okay.
[Awkward Chuckle]
- Um
- What?
Just, one moment I look at you,
you're my baby girl
and the next minute, you're a young woman.
[Laughs]
Thank you.
She said it was as if she was
inside the ship looking out
when it came crashing
toward Earth.
Did she see anyone else on the ship,
like our parents?
Yeah, or Captain Kirk and the Klingons?
You got a paper towel holder?
- No.
What if it's real?
- It's not real.
What's wrong
with you guys?
Oh, God! Not even baking soda's
gonna help with that.
You know what, Isabel?
If you don't like my new place, you can leave.
- Continue.
- I see things from inside her head.
Maybe she's seeing things
stored deep inside me.
What do you see
inside her head?
I can't tell you.
It's private.
Since when do we keep secrets
from each other? Maxwell, come on.
- Do you have a juicer?
- Isabel, you're pushing it.
They're Liz's personal thoughts, Michael.
They're not secrets.
Okay, yeah, so they're personal thoughts.
How do you know they're real?
I'm not sure.
Can't you just ask her?
I don't want
to embarrass her.
Maxwell, if this is real
if there's any chance this is real
you owe it to us and to yourself
to find out.
And in the meantime,
I'm gonna pursue my own avenues.
Wow.
- Michael.
- Uh-huh?
- Mmm.
This feels really good.
- Uh-huh.
These visions or
flashes or whatever?
I'm just, um
I'm not completely sure
I've actually really had one.
What do you mean,
you're not completely sure?
Michael, I, um
I faked it, okay?
- Why would you tell me that?
- Why? Because l I want us to be close.
You think that
makes us close.
- [Disgusted Sigh]
- Where are you going?
How do you expect me
to react?
Like a person?
Talk to me?
Yeah.
Well, I could act like a person,
but then I'd have to fake it.
You know, maybe if you weren't so defensive
and you didn't shut down all the time
- Then maybe what?
- Maybe it would happen.
I lied to you, too,
about the shoes.
Really?
'Cause I did have red sneakers.
- Everybody's got red sneakers.
- [Bell Rings]
- Why would you fake it?
- Haven't you ever heard of the male ego?
- Yes.
- The question is, why did I tell him that I faked it?
- You know what I mean?
It's just Oh, my God.
Liz.
Liz.
- Hmm!
Mmm.
What?
- Come here.
Come here.
- Let's go, girls.
- Just go look in the mirror.
- Why? What is it?
- DeLuca, Parker, now.
- Coming.
- Okay, I'll cover for you.
Just go.
- Okay.
[Door Opens]
- Max!
- Liz.
What are you doing here?
I just
I wanted to see you.
Here?
I had to know
if something was real.
If what was real?
Well, just like
you've seen things?
I've seen things, and
one of those things
You saw my fantasy?
I had to know if-if what I saw
was really from you
or if it was just
my imagination, which
it definitely
definitely could've been.
Except I've never been
in the girls' locker room.
And now that I see it,
and
Well, it is the same room.
I know I didn't make it up.
- This is really horrible.
[Embarrassed Laugh]
- No, Liz.
- It's incredible, really.
- This is not incredible.
Wait.
Please?
Listen.
Please.
The main thing is
I didn't just see
what you saw.
I felt what you felt
when you saw me.
And I never thought anyone
could really ever feel that way about me.
Really?
[Teacher]
Parker.
!
This way.
[Approaching Footsteps]
Parker.
!
[Door Opens, Closes]
[Sighs]
Uh, Liz?
- What?
- You have a hickey.
And it's glowing.
[Beeping]
[Max Panting]
This is getting
really weird, Max.
That would mean each of us
has this information in some part of us
we're just not
not conscious of.
Or she's getting messages
from somewhere or someone else.
- Nasedo?
- I don't know.
I mean, why'd she see
the crash, the soldiers?
Maybe it was all
planned this way
that this is how we'd find out who we
really are, by connecting with humans.
Connecting?
The more they connect,
the more we find out.
[Clears Throat]
Uh, listen.
Liz is on her way over.
Okay.
We'll leave.
You guys don't
have to leave.
Go for it, Maxwell, for the good of all mankind,
you lucky, undeserving dog.
Michael, that's not what
this is about for me.
Don't make me beg you to do what you and Liz
obviously want to do anyways.
- I don't see a problem with it.
- The problem is treating someone
I care about like a thing
- to be used.
- What, and that's what I'm about?
Is that what you're saying?
- The words are coming from your mouth, Michael.
- Okay, you guys, stop.
Enough.
[Sighs]
Listen, Maxwell
you are a sensitive guy.
And you have available to you one of
the top three seduction lines in history
with "It's gonna help me
find my home planet.
"
And you're refusing to use it.
No guy's that sensitive.
Use it.
[Snaps Fingers]
- Nice.
- Mmm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How's it goin'?
- Strange.
- I'll bet.
All right.
We're leaving now.
But I got some Chaka Khan
cued up in the C.
D.
Player.
We're leaving.
Bye.
So, you told 'em,
huh?
Yeah.
And now everyone's just sort of
cheering you on, like at a football game.
No.
No, it's
it's not like that.
I mean, yes.
They want us to keep going,
so we can find out where all this leads.
- But that's not
- Max.
I need to find out
where all this leads too.
Look.
[Sizzling]
- It's gone.
- Thanks.
- Max, do you understand any of this?
- No.
Can you take
your shirt off?
Can I? Yeah.
I can't do it to you.
I'm glowing everywhere
my toes, my heart.
- You can't see it.
It's on the inside.
- Uhh
- No, Max.
We can't do this.
- I know.
You know, could I, uh
could I get sick?
I don't know anything.
I don't even know
who I am.
You know, the the mark went away because
because you touched it.
Maybe Maybe it came because
we were away for too long.
That's absolutely crazy, but
maybe that wouldn't be
a complete disaster.
I can't ask you to do anything
that might hurt you in any way.
- I know.
- And I have no idea what that is
or what's right
or wrong.
I know.
I mean,
and you know things
about me that you, um
that you shouldn't know.
And my mother my mother,
who I love, is just gonna kill me.
If I don't die
from this.
You're right.
I can't stop.
[Gasping]
[Beeping]
Oh, my God.
!
I was looking for Michael.
Um, something tells me
he isn't here.
- Liz, what was going on in there?
- What was going on?
Yeah, it looked like it was getting
pretty serious, like, very serious.
- Maria, I have my mother for these lectures.
- I'm worried for you.
- Why?
- Because this isn't you.
Yes, Maria, see, this is.
This is me.
I'm sitting right next to you.
I just don't want you
to go too far.
I think I want to.
Are you crazy?
This is dangerous.
This isn't like a game!
We don't even know what could happen!
Look who's talking! You were
the first one to take the plunge, Maria!
Michael and I
just kissed.
Okay, fine.
We did a little more
than kissing.
But look.
I wasn't getting visions, and I didn't have
glowing hickeys and rashes and Look.
Liz, the bottom line is that we don't know
what this is about.
All right?
Female spiders can, you know,
bite off the males' heads after they mate.
What if they need someone to mate
with to get certain information, you know?
And then [Blows Raspberry]
You know?
What've you been trying to say?
That Max is just gonna bite my head off?
Uh, no.
What I'm saying is,
how do you know that he's not, like, using you?
Maria, because it
it feels right.
I'm sorry.
It feels right in a way that nothing
has felt right in my life before.
- Hi, Mom.
- Do you think I'm stupid?
I'm sorry.
Sorry's not good enough.
Where were you?
- Mom, will you just stop trying to control me?
- I am trying to keep you safe.
If I need to control you
When have I even tried to control you?
Right, Mom, because you've never had to!
'Cause I do every single thing you want
and y-you just think
I'm always gonna be that way!
You don't even see me.
All right.
Then
Then help me to see you.
Okay? Talk to me.
Oh, my God.
You're so warm.
Mom, no.
I am fine.
- You're not fine.
You're burning up.
- Mom! Just stop it! Okay?
This is my body! I don't have to tell you
every single thing about it!
Michael.
Hey.
I was, uh I was looking for you
at your apartment
- but I found Max and Liz instead.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- They still there?
No.
I just
drove Liz home.
Great.
I won't have
to miss the hockey game.
[Max]
Liz.
- Hi.
- I couldn't sleep.
Yeah, neither could I.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, look, Max,
I saw something when we were
It-It was something being buried, and it felt
like it was something something important.
- It was here.
- I know this.
- This is the old radio tower by Highway 42.
- Max.
Highway 42.
- Isn't that
- Yeah.
Just a couple miles from the crash.
Well, there's
something buried there.
I should go to Michael.
Is that what you
really wanna do?
No.
Look, all I know is that
if we're gonna do this
we've gotta
do it tonight.
- Are we
- Come on.
Let's go.
It should be
around here somewhere.
[Sighs]
Wow.
That's what's really there
all the time.
If we could
only see it.
So.
So.
So we have to decide
what our next step's
gonna be.
- Right.
- I guess we could just start digging.
Or, uh
Or, um, we could look
for the next clue.
- Yeah.
The clue idea seems more, uh
- More efficient.
Yeah.
Right this minute
I can't
not touch you.
Let's just lie down.
- Are you scared?
- Well, I know I'm supposed to be, but
I'm just gonna put
myself in your hands.
[Chuckles]
- [Howling]
- What's that?
It's a coyote.
Are you sure?
[Beeping]
- Oh, my God.
Max, that's it.
- What?
- That's the sound I heard in my vision.
- Shh.
[Beeping Continues]
It's over there.
Come on.
This is it, Max.
- Start here.
- Okay.
- [Beeping Continues]
- [Both Grunting]
[Beeping Stops]
Max, something's down there.
It's the symbol
from the cave painting.
Is this from
your home?
I don't know.
Maybe it's a signal
for
Maybe.
[Footsteps]
Liz?
[Knocking]
- Isabel.
- Max and Liz are missing.
Missing.
Okay, let me, um let me get the keys
to my car, all right? We can go and find them.
That's okay.
- Okay.
- Okay what?
Okay, and kiss me.
K [Laughs]
K-Kiss you?
My brother's missing.
I need to find him.
Maybe we can generate some information.
- Right.
- Maybe I'll get a flash
of their location or something.
So, go ahead.
Oh, yes.
Yes, ma'am.
Um
Nothing.
Oh.
Nothing relevant
to the current crisis.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
You know, l-I'm available
for further experiments.
You know,
when-whenever.
This is private property.
You two better get home.
[Knocking]
- Max and Liz aren't
- I heard.
Look, I just really need you
not to be cold or mean.
- If that's impossible, you can just let me know.
- You want to come in?
Yeah.
Have a seat.
Thanks.
- Can we talk about what happened?
- Talk on.
I want you to know that what I said
about you being all shut down
and that's why I had
to fake the flashes, that was
wrong and very unfair.
Wrong and very unfair.
If something went wrong, it was
because of me.
I'm the one who's scared.
I mean, I fake all kinds of things
all the time with everybody.
It's just you were the first person
I actually ever admitted it to.
Well
thanks for sayin' that,
but it's not really true.
- What do you mean?
- It's not true about you being
shut down all the time.
- I happen to know that for a fact.
- [Scoffs]
Really? How?
Because you let me see you.
The red sneakers, Maria.
One had a Kermit patch on it,
and the shoelaces were blue
and you had your dalmatian dog
with you there
licking off your tears.
And I saw a whole bunch
of other stuff as well.
[Clears Throat]
- Was I right?
- Yeah.
[Chuckles] Um [Clears Throat]
That dog died when I was, like, seven.
Right after
my father left.
- Kinda rough?
- Yeah.
I'd say so.
I really didn't care
about the stupid flashes.
I just wanted us
to be close.
Thanks.
They're basically
good kids, right?
- They're just using bad judgment.
- Huh.
Bad judgment big time.
Maybe they shouldn't
see each other for a little while.
Well, why don't we give 'em a chance
to explain themselves?
Well, what kind of explanation
can there possibly be?
- Any flashes?
- [Chuckling] No.
Did you?
Don't think so.
Max, everything that we did,
everything we felt
was it was it all just about this
this thing?
You know, we don't
even know what it is.
Yet.
#[Rock Ballad, Indistinct]
Max, was it ever
just about us?
You know,
you and me?
Because a person
could feel
like they just
served their purpose.
- You know, like being used.
- Is that what you think?
Because you're not the only one
who could worry about being used.
I mean, some girls would give a lot
to see themselves fly through outer space.
You know, I'm sure it doesn't compare
to other things you could be doing, like
watching Kyle barf
after a beer blast.
- [Chuckling] I can't believe you just said that.
- Why not?
- Because it really happened.
- You're kidding me.
No.
I swear.
Last summer.
It was a really hot night
You know what? No, no.
Don't tell me.
Okay, so what you're saying
is that you saved me
from a life of watching Kyle barf.
[Chuckles]
Liz Parker, I don't think that
was ever gonna be your destiny.
- No?
- No.
Okay.
Fine.
If you know so much,
then tell me, Max
what's my destiny?
I only know the part
I'm hoping for.
