Previously on Roswell, New Mexico...
TEZCA: Jones said, once you've gathered
all the pieces, Liz Ortecho will bring the alighting.
This is a method of transportation?
I'm thinking about a lot that would prevent him
and his followers from ever using it.
ISOBEL: That's what Jones wanted from Liz.
He thought that she could pick that lock.
Clyde, he's a true believer.
He didn't need his precious savior
to warp his mind into obeying.
All right, look, whatever
your problem is with me and my father,
it's got nothing to do with her.
She'll pay for what she did against the cause.
DALLAS: This isn't over.
Given I now have the means to finish
what my savior asked to be built, I think it is.

JONES: I sense your nerves.
You needn't be afraid.
I see great potential in you.
Tonight, you become a child of Ophiuchus.
Like this precious flower
that grows from the ashes of our people.
Some believe that
it is our spirit blossoming anew.
Like this flower,
we will rise from the ashes of Oasis
and ascend
to a greater purpose.
[heavy breathing]
I want nothing more.
My life was meaningless before your teachings.
Well, there is more to Ophiuchus than being a follower.
[Clyde gasps]
Uh, what is that, my savior?
A chance to evolve.
No doubt you've heard the stories
of how I used science to enhance my abilities.
As one of my most loyal acolytes,
I would like you to join my inner circle
and share this gift
with you.
Why me?
I never even formed my own Triad.
I can offer you something so much better than a Triad.
This Ophiuchan mark forges a bond between us
that allows you to draw on my strength.
That is the sacrifice I will make for you.
And there will come a time
when I will require a sacrifice from you in return.

She's keeping watch at Alien-henge

Which is why I am working to pull them out.

But this is so much worse.
I can't lose you, Liz.
So, if saving you means getting my abilities back,
that's what I'm gonna do.
[sighs]
[whispering]: It's too late.
I used all the mist.
So we'll go to Senovative.
There's nothing we can't overcome together.

Hey.

I can't walk away.
Then walk towards us.
Liz, let's go right now, okay? Let's go pack a bag.

DALLAS:Bonnie and I have already searched half the town
following my dad's clues.
Where could Alex be hiding?
All I know is, is once I get this rust bucket purring again,
we're kicking the search party into high gear.
Maybe we should look for some alien trees.
You know, we're gonna need the fruit
to open the portal home.
And which home would that be?
You thinking about making the jump to Oasis?
Well, we're not jumping anywhere without the fruit.
You can go apple picking all you want,
but my priority
is Alex, so I'm gonna search every damn level
of this inferno till I find him.
If we split up, we'll find Alex twice as fast.

No.
Hey, Liz?
[moans]
[gasps]MAX: Hey, what happened?
Max. Um...
Where's-where's Liz?
I-I... I found her secret stash,
and then we started arguing, and...
it's gone, so she must've
knocked me out with that lamp, I guess, and...
Max, she wasn't ready.
She's relapsed.
No signs of head trauma from what I can see.
Why does my brain still feel like scrambled eggs?
The CT scans will show us more,
but you should take it easy for a while.
God, I made the oldest rookie mistake in the book:
never trust the word of an addict.
Hey, Max will find her.
Yeah, but, I mean,
a sponsor should be on solid ground.
Maybe Liz was right.
I'm so early into my recovery.
I mean, how can you start
your new life when your old one feels impossible to shake?
Liz's failures are not yours.
All of us have seen how much you've grown.
Roswell will remind you of who you were,
but it'll also show you how far you've come.
Hmm.
Is that how you felt coming back from the motherland?
Because Maria told me that the Valenti family reunion
turned a little picante
when Isobel showed up in Careyes. Yeah.
Well, feelings were confessed,
but, apparently, Isobel and I work better as friends.
[computer beeps]
That's odd.
Your scans show no sign of a concussion.
That doesn't make sense.
If there's nothing wrong with my brain,
why can't I remember what happened?
Maybe it's not human science
we should be looking at.
[gasps]
Finally, she awakens.
Where's my sister?
Still at that mockery of a diner,
I presume.
You're the only Ortecho I need.
What is this place?
This mine shaft is under farmland
that was owned by Mr. Jones himself in 1947.
This flower grew from his remains.
Here, where Jones first began our quest home,
his spirit will guide me to finish the work he started.
And by Liz Ortecho'shands,
the alighting will begin.
[calling out]: Alex? Alex?
Gosh. I thought for sure he would be in here.
He could live off of buttered popcorn
and pineapple gummy bears for weeks.
[thunder rumbling]
All right, come on, let's keep searching before
whatever that is rolls in.Wait, wait, wait.
If it storms in here, maybe Alex sought shelter.
Come on.
No. It's not here.
Hey, hold up.
Is that alien glass?
Maybe my dad left another message.
[door creaks, slams shut]
What was that?
Uh...
Maybe I tripped a wire or something.
I'll get us out of here.
[grunts] It's not working.
Wait, these old shipping containers are coated in lead.
That means electromagnetic waves can't pass through them.
What does that mean?
When I first got inducted into the pod squad,
Michael told me that our powers are electromagnetic.
So we're trapped.
My savior set this plan in motion many moons ago.
As soon as the ship crashed in 1947,
he began devising a way to return home with his clone.
Jones aligned himself with one of the most esteemed scientists
on Oasis,
the traitor you call Theo.
Theo built the portal for Jones.
What he built was purposely broken.
In his transmission from the Lockhart machine,
my savior said your brilliant mind could fix it.
I'm not an engineer. [chuckles]
My expertise is limited to genetics.
And that's exactly why you're so important.
This mark bonds select members of Ophiuchus,
makes us a family.
But anyone who bears it will never be able
to use Theo's portal to return home to Oasis.
So it's not just a regular drunken night tattoo?
This brand is infused with Oasian glass.
It created a bond that allowed me
to draw energy from my savior.
I need you to use your genetic expertise
to counteract Theo's defenses.
And then you walk through the liminal space
into a portal back to Oasis?No.
The liminal space was a trick
Theo created to deceive my savior.
The only portal I need is right here in Roswell.
I plug in the star map...
...set a course for Oasis,
and I walk away from this miserable rock for good.
How does that work exactly?
The only answersyou need
lie in the traitor's bible.
I took the liberty of translating the Oasian symbols
for you.Okay, why would I ever help you?
'Cause a certain spitfire waitress's life
depends on it.
Vanessa.
That's how you kidnapped me.
You mind-controlled her.
She sure works around a lot of knives.
It'd be a real shame
if she suddenly got the impulse to slit her wrists.
But you're brilliant enough to prevent that from happening.
Excuse you.
That wasn't finished.
Liz give you those?
Insisted against it, actually.
I made an executive decision.
My team relocated them this morning.
So you stole them.Liz was being illogical.
Your eggs are much safer here.
I have the best security that money can buy, and...
I'm gonna call them now, actually,
to find out why the sheriff got in here without a warrant.
I think you'llfind out
your chief of security has taken a temporary leave of absence.
ISOBEL: Isobel Evans, chief of security.
I think it's time you and I had a chat.
I'm looking for Liz.
Well, you won't find her here.
My mentee abandoned me on the brink
of an incredible discovery.
More like on the brink of self-destruction.
That mist that you made, it's ruining her,
and from the looks of it, it's doing the same to you.
This is a drug bust.
I just want what's mine. Au contraire.
That's my proprietary formula.
Made with my pods.They're not iPhones.
But I have a friend at the FBI, Agent Cameron,
who would be very, very interested
in the secrets you're keeping here.
You are not the only one with friends
in high places, Sheriff.
One phone call to Director Whitman at the Bureau,
and your secrets are also exposed.
Well, then let's end this chess match.
One canister.
That is all I'm asking.
Here I was thought you wanted to flush
your girlfriend's pills down the toilet,
but you want the mist for yourself.
Let me guess.
Now that the mist has unburdened Liz
of her irrational emotions,
she finally sees you for who you are:
[whispers]: dead weight.
If that's how you see relationships, it's no mystery
why Allie disappeared into Mexico.
You're not exactly a qualified couples therapist.
Therapy's for dwelling in the past.
I prefer the future.
Care to know what's in store for you?
[laughs]
So you're a psychic now?Better.
That mist has made my brain capable of running simulations
that would give a supercomputer a migraine.
This isn't a simulation. This is real life.
Maybe you'd like to join it!
Real life? Which is governed by physics, chemistry, biology.
Equal and opposite reactions. Cause and effect.
Our entire lives written into our very DNA
before we even take a first step.
One big chain reaction leading to one
inevitable conclusion.
There is no future together for Max Evans and Liz Ortecho.
[chuckles]
Wow.
I am so sick of people telling me what my future is.
I'm gonna take my fate into my own hands,
so give me the mist.[door opens]
Your sister may be able to restrain one guard,
but can she take on all four?
Theo's equations are entirely theoretical.
T-To understand the practical components,
I need my equipment at Senovative.
If I could call Shivani...
And let you run straight back into the arms of Clone-Cop?
Before Tezca betrayed our cause, we collected all that was needed
per our savior's instructions.
[sighs]Unless there's
something else from Senovative you crave?
Weren't you and your sister bickering over this?
Evolution in one breath.
That's quite a novel approach
to improving your kind's deficiencies.
You know, the savior also sought science to ascend.
I am nothing like Jones.
He was a monster
whose greed destroyed everyone in his world,
and I will not drug myself so that you can destroy mine.
Ophiuchus teaches us that the only true monsters
are those who sit on the sidelines
and refuse their purpose.
From what I gather,
you and I have found a common ground.
I took the mist to protect my friends.
I don't judge you for wanting to reach your full potential.
In fact, I encourage you to embrace it.
Besides, what other option is there?
[soft hissing]
[inhales deeply]
And you're sure this short-term memory loss isn't a byproduct
of Liz's drug and ditch?
I tripled-checked my work.
Oh, no, of course you did.
I know that you're very good at your job.
I didn't mean that...Oh, I didn't think you were,
like, doubting me in any way.No, of course I wouldn't
doubt you. I trust you with my life.
Right.[stammers] Not to make this all about me,
but my memory loss seems to clearly be
a nonconsensual close encounter
of the third kind, so could you just
hop in my mind and see what happened?Yeah.
Of course. Sorry.
Cool if I join?
Just figured we should
all know what we're dealing with.
Oh.We should all know, yes.
What's the last thing you remember with you and Liz?
Give me the canister, Rosa,
or I will take it from you.
You might be the brains of the family,
but I'm the brawn. Try me.
You're wasting our time. I'll figure out how to get some.
I can't let you leave.
[gasps]
Oh, my God. What did you do?
Not that one.
Forget.
[gasps]
Liz didn't ditch. Clyde took her.
Okay, we have to go to the Crashdown.
[banging]BONNIE: Help!
Michael! Somebody, help us!
You might want to try and save your strength.
How can you be so calm?
It's my severe lack of chill that got us stuck
in here in the first place.
I've become so obsessed
with following my dad's trail of bread crumbs to Oasis
that I'm falling for ACME booby traps.
[sighs] Well, we do crazy things for family.
[sighs]I used to be a preacher.
You know, God was my shepherd.
But what if I've strayed too far from the flock?
If my dad's plan for me keeps putting
people that I care about in danger,
how can I place faith in that?
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
You're quoting Scripture at me now?
Well, our Triad used a revivalist church
as home base.
I'm a quick study.
Your dad did everything he could
to protect you from Jones,
to give you a future.
That sounds like a pretty good shepherd to me.
You know, whoever did this, they could've gotten to Alex.
Maybe we haven't found him because he...
Alex isn't dead.
Hey, uh, don't go blaming yourself.
You didn't put Alex in that sinkhole.
Yeah, it may not be my fault,
but I still have to make it right.
Alex and Michael are each other's family.
We do crazy things for family.
My own mother disowned me.
When I thought that I had finally found
what I was missing in Ophiuchus, even they kept me at a distance.
The dictator wanted to use my powers,
but he was afraid of them, too.
I never received the mark of his followers,
his family.
Think you dodged a bullet there.
But more importantly,
the pod squad's your family now.
And they will welcome you
like a long-lost sibling...
[sighs] when we get out of here.
Come on.
[banging]
Michael!Michael!
[banging and muffled shouting continue]
BONNIE: Help!DALLAS: Hello?
BONNIE: Help!
DALLAS: Michael?
[grunting]
[both panting]
At least kiss me before you bust my lip.
I cannot believe that it's actually you.
I'm just so happy you found me.
I knew you had to be here somewhere.
I'm here.
You're here.
Where is here exactly?
My dad created this space as a kind of
inter-dimensional mousetrap for
Jones and his merry band of followers.
Speaking of traps,
apparently he wasn't the only one.
I just knew I needed the upper hand, and alien glass
seemed like the perfect bait
in this lead-based shipping container.
It was a perfect premade Faraday cage.
You built an alien roach motel where powers wouldn't work?
Yeah, it's good to see friends, old and new.
I got to admit, I... I was
beginning to think that I never would.
Then I remembered what you said.
No matter how far apart we are,
we'll always find our way back to each other.
Well, we couldn't have done it without Maria's help.
How'd you reach out to her anyway?
Well, when I first got here,
I was looking for anything familiar.
The diner, the gazebo, this drive-in.
Everything was stuck in the 1940s,
except for when I got to our house.
It wasn't stuck in Un-Pleasantville?
It was, but then I remembered
reading something in the files at Deep Sky
about conscious communication through realities.
I mean, it was all theoretical until...
Until Maria made it real.
Yeah, I think she was the conduit.
I saw her standing in our living room with our things.
It was like she was shining a spotlight on the world
that I so desperately wanted to get back to.
I had to get my message across.
I had to get out of here.
[thunder rumbling]
Mm.
When did Hurricane Theo appear on the radar?
I've been studying this place, trying to understand it,
but this storm is new.
I noticed a steep drop in barometric pressure
last night.Have you seen any, um...
alien fruit since you've been here?
I saw a grove
of weird-looking trees about ten miles east. Why?
Turns out inter-dimensional travel runs on green energy
and lots of it.
That fruit's our ticket out.
Okay, then I'll take you.
BONNIE: Well, can you make a map?
Dallas and I will go.
You two deserve a chance to catch up.

What do you think you're doing?

Those overpowered by their vices
were a strain on our civilization.
The savior mercifully put an end to their misery.
But he spared your life?
I have always kept my mind and my body pure for Ophiuchus.
Fanaticism is no different.
You pushed the one person who cares about you down a sinkhole
because of your obsession with Jones's cult.
You will return to Oasis alone,
no Triad.
I am never alone.
My savior is always with me.
How does he still have a hold on you
even in death?
Ophiuchus was a method of manipulation.
Jones created a religion
of corrupted ideas to amass power,
and that mark on your shoulder,
it's a brand, because he owns you
like cattle.
This is the symbol for the children of Ophiuchus.
Designed by a self-serving father.
He told you it would make you stronger,
but the truth is he was leeching off of
his chosen people.
Bonnie saw the truth.

You might say that our first real date was at the drive-in.
You're calling that a date?
I seem to remember you telling me off
about some stolen copper wire.
Well, I didn't say it was perfect. Mm.
What about our relationship ever has been?
[chuckles]
All of these restless nights, I just
sat looking at this blank screen,
imagining that this nightmare was just a movie
about star-crossed lovers.
I'd sit here dreaming about getting home to you,
and I could picture you perfectly
on the other side doing the same.
Think I got to ruin another night at the drive-in.
I was dreaming of going home...
...but I forgot where home really is.
See, I met this guy...
What? You met a guy?
Not like that. Clyde. He's an alien.
And he-he showed me Oasis.
Not the real place, but there is a way to...
Go back to your planet.
[sighs]
I told myself I was just milking him for information.
But the truth is I was tempted.
I hate myself for letting that fantasy distract
from we have built together on our planet.
I mean, I can't say I'm surprised
because I know you,Michael.
You've been searching for home since we met.
Look, Oasis, Roswell--
I don't care if we are on other sides of the universe.
As long as we are looking at the same stars...
...I will never look away.
So, this movie...
[chuckles softly]
...how does it end?
Pick your favorite sci-fi trope.
We could, um, detonate the asteroid
heading towards Earth,
shut down the giant lizard destroying the city,
or it can end with a twist.
Michael Guerin...
...will you marry me?
This isn't where I imagined our engagement photos either, but...
I couldn't wait.
We've already spent too much time apart.
So?
I can't wait to see Sanders in a tux.
[laughs]
Yes.
I am so in love with you it's embarrassing.
I love you, too.
How far did you say those trees were?
Like, ten miles.
Yeah, we could work with that. [chuckles]

I got to wait till the honeymoon?
No. It's just, um...

If this is an alternate dimension,
the amount of energy that it would take to build it

Radiation.
The gas mask.
I felt nauseous as soon as I got here.
Did you? Dallas, Bonnie?
Okay, so it's only humans.
Which is why Theo didn't realize.
Realize what? What are you saying?
The gas mask helped with the nausea,
but it-it couldn't stop this.
I think I'm dying.
This is where Liz is? Yeah.
I mean, Tezca said Clyde was Ophiuchus's most loyal disciple.
I don't think he could resist a pilgrimage
to the mecca of Jones.
Cults do lovea farm.
You know, considering that we are attempting an alien ambush,

huff the magic dragon.

I'm never gonna leave your side.
[heart monitor beeping steadily]
[sighs]
You saved me.
[chuckles] No.
You saved yourself.
I was just there to catch your fall.
Does Rosa hate me?
No, we're all just here to support you.
Oh, Kyle's putting
the finishing touches on his detox stuff,
and Rosa's waiting in the wings.
You know, when you stood up
and faced your fears this morning...
[sniffles]
...I thought maybe I was ready to do the same.
But the mist had opened
my mind up to endless possibilities, and I...
I just-- I thought I could use it
to outsmart him.I know.
I'm sorry.
I pushed you all away. I just...
I don't want to lose myself anymore.
And I don't want to lose you.
Well...
I ain't going anywhere.
All right?
I'm gonna be the man you need me to be.
Max, I should not have said that you were holding me back.
Get some rest, okay?
Tomorrow is a new day.
KYLE: These...
should help ease her withdrawal
for a couple of hours.
Okay.
Then I'll take it from there.
There's only so much that medicine can do,
even the alien kind.
After that, we'll take it day by day.
[chuckles] Sounds like someone's back in the sponsor saddle.
Mm-hmm.
For as long as it takes.
What about New York?
You can't just put your new life on pause.
We can watch over Liz. I'll send you updates.
She's been there for me every time I needed her most.
I can be a little bit patient.
And, by the way, I think so should you.
Hmm.
With a certain green-eyed alien warrior goddess
who would give Gamora a run for her money.
Isobel and I are just friends.
Yeah, I know that you say that, but is she on the same page?
Because the start of that whole
mindscape trip was hella awkward.
Look, I get what it's like
to put a cage around your heart.
I just don't think now is the time to throw away the key.
So what do I do, then?
I already told her where I stand.
Why don't you try talking less and listening more?
Hey, brother.
Hey, sis.
Any, uh, sign of Clyde?
Yeah, well, it took me a little while to figure out
which shaft he'd hunkered down in.
By the time I got there,
all that was left was a severed hand.
So, this isn't over, then.
Well, if Liz has a part to play, I got to play mine.
What about that mist?
I will find a way, with or without it.
I mean, running away from my fears almost got Liz killed.
I cannot let that happen again.
Don't be so hard on yourself, you know.
Losing a love like you and Liz have, that's...
No, that's terrifying.
Or, uh...
you and Kyle.
Why did it take him closing the door
for me to realize that...
all I want to do is dropkick it off its hinges?
So what's stopping you?
I mean, doors are a part of a relationship.
They close, but they're also meant to be opened.
I don't know.
I think I've played enough with that man's emotions.
He made it pretty clear
that I had, uh... missed my moment.
Epic love stories aren't made up of a single moment.
They're built over a lifetime.
♪
I refuse to believe it's too late, for either of us.
I should've told you right away.
I just didn't want to ruin this moment.
You're trying to save my life. It's already lost.
Are you gonna say anything?
What do you want me to say?
Five minutes ago, I was imagining wedding vows,
and now you want me to write a eulogy.
No, I just don't want to spend my last days
wallowing in the inevitable.
I want to marry you.
♪ 'Cause someone just might find you... ♪
Did you find the fruit?
The trees were burned down.
MICHAEL: We're stuck here.
Dallas can marry us right now.
Please. We're running out of time.
♪ It's all in your head
♪ Dancing circles...
[knock on door]
We have a situation at the gate.
[door closes]
Come on. Let's go.
[labored breathing]
Who are you?
I see you've expanded your mind. Why don't you do the math.
You're one of them.
What do you want?
We can begin with that mist.
You've lost your powers.
It appears the great Liz Ortecho
wasn't worthy of my savior's faith,
but I believe that we...
can succeed where she failed.
Why would I help you?
Because...
I can bring your daughter back.
