I'm Alice Mack.

I was just an average kid until an
accident changed my life.

And since then, nothing's been the same.

My best friend Ray thinks it's cool.

My sister Annie thinks I'm a science
project.

I can't let anyone else know.

Not even my parents.

I know the chemical plant was to find me
and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I guess I'm not so average anymore.

I'm just going to throw all this stuff
away unless you see something you want.

I haven't seen anything worth keeping
yet.

You seem really excited.

Of course I'm excited. I'm going to one
of the best universities in the world.

I can't wait to get there.

Finally, the room will be yours. That
must make you happy.

Honestly, Annie, I'm very happy.

You've had control of this room forever.

Well, I had seniority.

I bet it'll get lonely in here without
me.

I'll survive.

So?

Twice a week.

That's what we agreed on, right?

Nice try, Annie. It was once a week.

All right, but you have to do it. I
know. You've told me a hundred times.

Remember, when you email me, never use
the word I or me.

All right.

You need to make sure to keep in touch
with me. There's no one else to look out

for you.

Oh, never call me from a phone and talk
about your powers unless you're at a pay

phone. And, um, I'll try to call you
once a day, but I don't know if... I

you're in a little bit of denial here. I
mean, you're going away to college.

You're going to meet zillions of new
people, work really hard.

You may even end up getting a boyfriend
for more than a few weeks.

You're not going to have all this time
to look after me.

You know that.

I know, but it doesn't mean that I won't
miss you. I'll be fine.

If you didn't think I was going to be
okay, you wouldn't be going away, right?

Excuse me, there's an unconscious woman
over there.

Where?

I need a gurney now!

We have an unconscious woman, she's
breathing, respiration is shallow, pulse

low.

Her pupils are unresponsive. Left pupil
is dilated. I need complete death in a

blood culture. Let's go!

Do you know this woman's medical
history?

Did you bring her here?

Did you?

Yeah, I brought her here.

Do you know how long she's been
unconscious?

She was unconscious when I found her,
like 15 or 20 minutes ago.

Did she stop breathing while you were
transporting her here?

I'm not sure.

Okay, who drove you?

No one.

Well, how did you get her here then?

Okay, please wait. I'm going to have to
ask you some more questions.

Whoever you did it, you may have saved
her life.

So is there anything that you're going
to need for school, sweetheart? I'm

over to the mall tomorrow, and it'll be
my last chance to pick something up for

you. I told you I was ready. If there's
anything I've forgotten, then there's

always stars in Cambridge, you know.

Well, Annie, there is one thing you'll
find out when you go away to college.

Everything costs a lot of money. Right,
George?

Mm -hmm.

I know.

I'm just telling you that we're not
going to be able to send you a lot of

every month. You know, you're just going
to have to put yourself on a budget.

I know. So I'll get a job.

Well, I hope you can find one,
sweetheart. It's not always easy to find

Am I right, George?

Oh, definitely.

Mom, you act like I'm totally incapable
of taking care of myself, of living

outside this house.

No, that's not what I'm saying,
sweetheart.

Well, what I'm saying is, although
you've had this very successful academic

career, going off to college requires
some skills, social and

otherwise, that you just don't seem to
have a lot of practice at.

You know, I really resent you talking to
me like this. I'm completely ready to

go away. Getting along in the world is
not as difficult as you guys are making

it out to be. I'm 18 years old.

You know, would one of you please show
me how to use this?

Hello?

Yes, this is Barbara Mack.

What?

What?

Alex, is she... Okay, we'll be right
there.

That was Paradise Valley Hospital. It's
Alex.

She's not hurt.

She refuses to tell them about...
Listen, we have to get over there. I'll

explain it in the car. Come on.

What happened?

The woman apparently had a mild stroke.
She was out taking a hike alone, and if

Alex hadn't found her, she probably
would have died there.

I just found it strange that Alex
wouldn't tell us how she got the woman

I thought you might talk to her.

I think the woman's going to be okay.
I'd just like to have a little more

information for her family.

Again, your daughter really is a hero.
We just need to know more.

Thank you, Doctor. Of course we'll talk
to her.

Great.

Listen, maybe Alex is in some form of
shock. Maybe I should go talk to her

first. No, you're not going to talk to
her first.

We're going to ask her how she got the
woman here, and she's going to tell us.

I can't tell you.

Okay, let's try a different question.

Why can't you tell us? I just can't.

Alex, whatever you did, we know you did
it for a good reason, but somebody had

to drive you. You couldn't have carried
this woman a mile and a half.

Who was it?

Okay, was it a man or a woman?

What difference does it make?

Alex, why are you covering for this
person? You saved the woman's life.

Exactly. But the doctors and the woman's
family, they have the right to know

what happened, and you need to tell
them. Look, I promise I wouldn't tell,

I promise.

Please don't make me.

Oh, Alex. This is just absurd.

All right.

We'll go home and let you get some
sleep.

But tomorrow morning, we're going to ask
you the same question.

And tomorrow morning, you're going to
answer us.

Local story, a woman from Winding Oaks
collapsed today in a deserted area of

Paradise Park, the victim of a mild
stroke.

She was rescued and brought to the
hospital by Alexandra Mack, 15.

The twist of the story is that the young
girl refuses to tell anyone how she

managed to get the woman there.

Leading authorities wonder just how
their... A small teenage girl managed to

carry this large woman a mile and a half
to the hospital without aid.

Police are not saying that Alex Mack
might be somehow involved in foul play

regards to the victim, but they are not
ruling it out.

Detective Eric Michaels.

The girl has no reason not to talk to
us. Of course we're suspicious.

Somebody drove her. Why can't she just
say who it is?

That's ridiculous.

First thing in the morning, Alex.

I'm not kidding.

Annie, something is wrong with Alex.

I mean, look at everything that's
happened over the past couple of years.

That one day that she turned into that
evil little person. And the Woman of the

Year banquet when she acted like a
stormtrooper.

Her disappearing acts. The list goes on.

I'm pretty sure she's just going through
these phases. Come on, Annie. Alex's

behavior has been strange. You know
that.

Is this really how you guys feel?

I think you're exaggerating.

Annie, your father and I realize that
you and your sister have secrets

We're not blind.

Or completely clueless.

Annie, if there's anything wrong with
Alex, anything serious that you're aware

of, your father and I should be told
about it, especially with you going off

college.

So, you found the woman unconscious and
you double morphed her to the hospital.

Yeah.

What could I tell them?

You should have made something up.

I couldn't think that fast.

Let's make up something right now,
together.

You mean you want me to make something
up?

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Allow me.

Alex, this is exactly what I'm concerned
about.

You're going to make bad choices like
that. You're going to use your power

selfishly. And without me here, you're
not going to be able to make anything up

to get yourself out of it. You're going
to get caught.

I won't. Of course you will.

And if the truth comes out about you
while I'm away, I will never forgive

myself.

Oh, so this is about you now?

Truth is, Annie, if after the accident
I'd just been able to tell Mom and Dad

what happened, I wouldn't even be in
this situation right now.

I don't care what you say. I was doing
the right thing by helping that woman

today.

I wasn't being selfish.

Oh, either way.

Now you have Mom, and you have Dad, and
you have the entire Paradise Valley

community waiting for you to explain
what happened today.

You'll help me, right, Annie?

You always help me in these types of
situations.

It's too late, Alex. I can't help you
anymore.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I didn't tell
Mom and Dad about you.

Because I wanted you as my own research
project. I don't know.

I'll be okay, really.

I don't know.

I think it's time. I really do.

Time for what?

It's time to tell Mom and Dad the truth
about you.

Sorry to get you up this early, Ray, but
this all sort of involves you, too, I

guess.

Sort of.

If you tell your parents about the
accident, my dad's going to find out.

my dad finds out, he's going to kill me
first and then ground me for a month.

I know, but maybe Annie's right.

Let's face it, she has bailed me out of
like a million situations.

And with her gone... There's only me.

I know I can't help you the way Annie
can, Alex. I admit that.

It's just... Just what?

Well, once everyone finds out about you,
it's going to change everything.

Would that be so bad?

Maybe they could find me an antidote. I
mean, I know it's been real fun and

everything, but I wouldn't mind not
having the powers anymore.

I don't think.

We would just go back to being like we
were before the accident.

That's what I'm afraid of, Alex.

Things won't be the same again.

She'll be all over their papers and
everything will be different.

I like our secret, Alex.

The best secret in the whole world.

It's not like I want to tell anyone.

You don't know what the pressure's like
on me now.

I just don't want anything to change.

Yeah, but life is always changing.

Even if we don't think it's gonna.

I have a feeling you and I are on the
same page right about now, Vince.

Alex Mack?

Yeah. When I heard the news, it hit me.

I don't know exactly how that woman got
to the hospital, but it seems to me it

had to be by some sort of superhuman
mechanism.

I mean, otherwise, why the silence?

I had the same thought, Miss Citron.

We've had that kid in our sights before,
and we're never exactly a bit clearer.

Well, that's my point. And then there's
her father and her sister, and suddenly

it all just started adding up.

Which is why you call me?

I'll be honest with you, Vince.

The perfection of GC -161 is happening
so rapidly that I don't need that kid

testing anymore.

But she could be trouble if she talks.

Oh, she could be a major problem if she
talks.

What is it you want me to do?

I want her gone. And where might gone
be?

I don't care.

But by the end of the day, I want to
hear that Alexander Mack is missing,

nobody knows where she is, and that
there's not so much as one clue left

Then, in one week's time, you give me a
phone call, and I will figure out some

sort of way to get your money to you.

Which would be seven figures.

Seven figures.

And with that threat out of the way, our
relationship will be terminated and

everybody will be happy.

Everybody except Alex Mack and her
family.

Well, she has till the end of the day.

Unless she comes up with some sort of
logical explanation, do what you have to

do.

Good luck, Vince.

I won't need it.

Alex and Matt will.

Alex,

we've been looking for you. Yeah, Max,
fill it. What the heck happened

yesterday? Come on, Lewis, don't
pressure it.

It must have been something really
terrible if you won't tell anyone.

You guys will find out soon enough,
don't worry.

Could you please tell us first? I mean,
if I get to spread the news before the

media finds out, I think my popularity
at school could skyrocket.

Sorry, Robin, I can't.

Nobody would believe you anyway.

Here's my theory, Mac.

You were involved in something illegal
and unethical that caused the woman's

stroke in the first place.

Then you and an accomplice took her body
to the hospital where, panicking, your

accomplice fled, leaving you holding the
bag, so to speak.

You can handle Alvarado, but fovea?

That's too risky.

Look, I'm going in to talk to my parents
right now. In a few hours, everyone

will know.

I'm willing to offer you 20 bucks for
that info right now.

Forget it, Lewis.

Both of you just go home and turn on
your TVs.

It won't take long for the truth to come
out.

Pressure is mounting on young Alex Mack.

Reveal her part in a serious rescue of a
stricken Paradise Valley woman.

Well, here goes.

Hi.

Are you ready to tell us what happened
yesterday?

Okay. Can we go in the kitchen to talk?

Mind staying here for a few minutes?

What I'm going to tell you is probably
going to shock you.

See, Annie, Ray, and I have had this
little secret.

And Annie and I decided that since she's
leaving, we should probably let you

guys in on it.

Now, you have to promise not to be mad,
okay?

Alex, tell us what it is and we'll
decide whether it's worth getting mad

Okay, um...

On my first day of junior high, I was
walking home from school.

Yo, everybody, you gotta come right
away.

Now!

I've decided I can no longer remain
silent about what occurred yesterday.

The fact is...

Alex Mack was covering for me.

Yesterday I was driving the company
truck, even though I wasn't working at

time, which is prohibited under PV
chemical rules.

I was taking a drive through Paradise
Park when I came upon Alex and the

I stopped, helped them inside, and drove
them to the hospital.

When I dropped them off, I told Alex not
to tell anyone because Ms. H .H. would

find out and I could probably lose my
job.

She promised she wouldn't.

Alex is only holding up her end of the
promise, but I can't let her get in

trouble for me.

I'll have to throw myself at the mercy
of Ms. Atron and hope for the best.

Of course Mr.

Watt will not be punished.

His heroic actions were in the great
tradition of Paradise Valley Chemical

Plant's age -old slogan, Progress at Any
Cost.

Alex, is that true?

What I don't understand is why you went
to such great lengths to

protect Dave.

I'm not really sure why I did either.

Hey, listen. Unless you guys need me,
I'm just going to take off.

I mean, everything is okay here.

Everything is going to be just the way
it was, right?

Yeah, right. Everything will stay
exactly the way it was.

Except after Sunday, I won't be here.

Take it easy, Annie.

I will.

Take good care of her.

I promise.

All right.

So, what were you about to tell us about
your first day of junior high?

Oh, nothing. It was just a long, drawn
-out version of that story.

Thank you.

Your flight's on time. You and Daddy
better get going.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, things are never going to be the
same without you.

I'm going to miss you so much, honey.
I'm going to miss you, too.

Listen, we're always here for you, okay?

If you ever need anything, or if you
just feel lonely for this place, you

me, okay?

I will.

Collect.

How's your sister doing? Is she going to
be okay?

Are you kidding? She's probably jumping
off the walls waiting for me to leave.

Well,

this

is it.

Annie, why do you think Dave did what he
did?

I don't know.

And let's not question it.

You can't count on him again.

Now's the time for you to grow up and
take care of yourself.

And I'm only going to remind you one
last time.

Be careful.

I will.

And no matter how far away I am, I will
always be with you.

I love you, Annie.

I love you, too, so much.

Gotta take off, Annie.

Okay, I'm coming.
