Original subtitles

Previously on Roswell, New Mexico.

When I healed Max's body, we traded places.

If we can swap them into their rifle bodies and sever the psychic tether, we

both save Max and be free to kill Jones.

You want to know about the Lockhart machine?

You want to call someone?

No, you want to call something.

Shall we take a vote on who dies if Liz doesn't mend my genetics?

This compound will keep Max and Jones apart for good. Right on schedule.

Give me what I want, or I drop them.

If only you'd made that choice the first time around.

with the obvious why did lynn give jones the only leverage that we had we always

had to inject one of the subjects to separate max and jones heath is off

algorithms right now and all of them say that it'll take nine hours for the

proteins in jones's cells to fully detangle themselves from max's dna then

can kill him it's not that simple testing shows that the process of the

bonding will start again so then we what stick him again no with jones's evolved

genetic it's almost certain that his body will recognize the serum as a

and learn to fight it So you are saying that you started a fight we have to end

today, otherwise Max is supervillain -glued to Jones. I have a plan for that.

Max and Jones will fully separate. And at that point, I'm going to inject Jones

with liquids.

Biomolecules. That'll attach to the protein receptors and will keep the DNA

reconnecting. Put it this way.

The cells are water.

The liquids are a wall of oil.

And then we can kill Jones without killing Max.

Yeah, but first we have to find him.

I mean, he was clinging on to that Lockhart machine like it was a life

Clearly he has a plan for it.

Alex thinks he wants to make a call with it. He wants to make a call?

Who's he going to call? E .T.? It doesn't matter.

We can use it to gain an advantage over him.

We know the Lockhart machine can send a signal out, right?

Well, Eduardo and Alex are working on a way to send a signal to it.

Okay. How do they do that?

With another one.

Just like how the Valenti radios are walkie -talkies of sorts. That same

principle of broadcasting could be used through the radio towers in Roswell.

To find Jones.

Better than that.

The same way that the info was shoved into Dallas's head with a burst of

frequency. We can essentially shove Max and Jones back into their old bodies.

And Liz's salad dressing shot?

That's our only chance to kill one clone without killing the other.

Okay, so while you guys live in the land of fingers crossed, I'm going to go

rebuild the only thing that we actually know has ever defeated Joan.

My mother, Thord.

That's good she came back from comatose, but, um... 90 minutes is really, really

troubling.

Thank you, Doctor.

Hey, Maria.

Hey. Are you okay?

Yeah, it's just, uh...

Angry vendor. What's in the bag?

Well, apparently Liz's science gave us a ticking clock, which now means that we

have to defeat Jones today.

Which means we have to somehow Humpty Dumpty this thing back together again.

I think that the question of fighting Jones has already been asked and

in the form of two dozen broken pieces.

Are you saying that I'm weak? What I'm saying is that maybe your strength has

absolutely nothing to do with this weapon. No, no. Liz and Michael have all

these ideas about how to stop him, but everything except this sword is

theoretical. So we just have to... Are you bleeding from your nose?

What?

Isabel, when was the last time you slept?

I don't know, Maria. It's probably been like two days.

But once the sword is intact, it holds energy. So I'll be able to draw off that

and just keep going. As a descendant of Louise's, I can help Rosa rebuild the

sword. You need to rest.

So we'll work up some ideas.

You go take a nap.

Now. Right now.

I thought you and Heath were testing ligand compounds.

I gave Heath a break while the computer analyzes our data.

And so the head in the hand is exhaustion?

I'm afraid I'm going to lose Max.

Just as I finally found him again.

You have every right to be freaked out about saving Max.

I do, but not to retreat to the lab when I should have spoken to him about

everything that's unfolding.

Kyle, our track record is garbage when we're not on the same page.

Are we in this game or not?

The solution I built to block Max and Jones' DNA from coming back together,

working.

But the Lingan molecules, they aren't generating fast enough to prevent Jones

from retethering. Once we get this compound into Jones, we're going to have

seconds, not hours, to kill him without killing Max. So we need to find a faster

way to release this than Jones' body.

Yeah.

I need to ask you about what happens when the serum and the science fail.

I am here to beg you to do what I may not be strong enough to do.

Kill me to stop Jones.

We agreed.

Kamikaze Max isn't on the table. No, listen, Isabel didn't want to hear it.

have a plan to kill him. And he's had a plan since 1947 to fix his genetics and

get off this rock.

We can't let him go start cloning himself again. And I am just afraid that

things turn bad, I'm going to look at Liz, and I'm not going to be ready to

away. Grow up, Max. Look, I'm trying to be pragmatic, man. No, you're not.

You're trying to run.

So what are you so afraid to say out loud to Liz?

Because you're beating yourself before Jones even had the chance.

You tell Alex all your fears.

Are you walking into this battle with your eyes wide open?

No, I'm not. I came here to mine turquoise I already have enough of.

Maybe today is your last day, Max.

Maybe it's mine, too.

But if that's true, we can't walk away from the tough conversations with the

people who love us.

How is he?

Considering his whole belief system was put in a blender and he nearly died from

a shattered glowing sword, I'd say surprisingly good.

And you?

How are you doing? Because you went right back to work after being mentally

dangled hundreds of feet in the air.

Yeah, well, like you, I tend to find comfort in the science when things get

loud. But I do have to tell you, while I was hanging there...

There was really only one thing I could think about.

I never got a chance to say I'm sorry.

For what I was a part of at Max's house. For Maria's coma.

For trusting Jones and not making things worse.

Man, this is better than watching a soap opera.

Oh, there he is. What can I get you? Some water? Ice cream?

Bible? Music.

Got the blood flowing, you know.

Whoa.

Oh, please tell me you've got that breakthrough look.

I'm going out tonight.

I'm feeling all right. Gonna let it all hang out.

Won't make a noise.

Hey.

Oh, that was, uh...

Quite the advanced medical technique.

Yeah. Liz has got more set in Malbec, and my mom has Shania and soda when

stuck on a case.

More importantly, I thought of something that could help rapidly surge your

ligands through Jones' system.

What, line dancing?

Adrenaline. Exactly.

It cycles through the entire body in seven seconds.

That'll ensure that your genetic wall will quickly go up between Jones and

and then you can kill him.

You do naps a lot different than I do. I really need to remember to turn off,

find my friends.

You really need to remember to trust your friends. I can't right now, Rosa.

mother, she was pregnant and she took a stand. She wasn't some damsel in

distress. She was a badass alien warrior, I know.

I don't need this from you right now.

The hard truth?

Look, just like any addict, it doesn't matter how many times the loved ones

them that there's a problem, you have to admit it.

Fine. You want the hard truth?

Everything in my life is falling apart right now, and I can't control it.

I would love to hold your hand through this, Isabel, but I can't do it for you.

Nobody can.

You want to honor the mindfulness that Anastasia taught you with Archery? I

suggest that you take the need to be your mom and shoot it away from you.

Think about your life, Isabel, actually.

Who do you want to be away from all this noise?

Fire at that.

Don't stop until you hit the bullseye.

How'd you find me? You tell me how you plan to leave the planet,

I'll tell you how I caught up to you.

You can't shoot me.

This is the body they hope to put Max back into.

But I'm not here to destroy you. I'm here to destroy Max.

You know I can bend bullets.

Can you do it five times in a row?

Would you like the bad news first?

Or the bad news first?

is that you have a pear -shaped organ right under your ribs that produces

adrenaline.

Oh, yeah.

Now, I can't sedate you for risk of changing any chemical composition in

body and altering what we need.

Oh, great.

And the good news?

Oh, just that, uh, this is probably going to hurt like hell.

This is the only ultrasound monitor we have. You fry this, and our chances of

killing Joan spritzes out, too.

Please. Okay.

I'll do it.

Thank God.

I, uh... I wanted to tell you this morning, but I am scared

of hurting you.

I'm dragging you further into my myth.

I mean, you deserve greatness. You deserve happiness. I don't understand

keep ending up at these damn crossroads.

Hey.

You remember when we listened to that song on my Walkman in the playground

we were kids? You said that was the first time you ever felt connected to

world.

And I never told you, but I feel so lucky I got to give you that.

You remember the song?

I can never.

I know, I know it's in my head somewhere. I just can't. I can never

name of it.

It pops in when I'm in the shower on the run and pops right back out.

All I really remember is your eyes.

They made me feel calm.

realize it at the playground but you quiet all the noise all

the signs of noise rattling around in my head and no matter how noisy today is

gonna get i have to lean on what you always do for me you let it all

slip away and let you and me just be the only people

together, Max Evans, and I think everything you fear most in this world,

it could be the thing that saves it.

I think we're making some progress.

I really thought alien stuff would be more exciting. Okay, so, uh, I got lost

this year on my, uh, quest to be a womanist warrior.

And I told myself that in order to be strong, I had to do everything on my own

terms, lone wolf style.

And it's just because I was afraid I don't, uh, have the easiest time letting

people in.

And today I realize that...

It's a cage.

And I'm trapped behind these walls that I built to protect myself.

And I don't want to be a lone wolf.

I want to be part of the pack.

Can we hug you now?

Thank you.

All right, here's what I got.

This sword.

was owned by Theo, Luis, and Nora.

I think that's why it shattered in your hand.

Yes, you were able to hold it, but it doesn't necessarily represent you or

power. But remember, Jones told you there were two ways that aliens could

strength. Through their triad, essentially their chosen family, and

their generation line, meaning their literal family. That's what we have

You, me, and the alien we descended from.

Okay, I get that Michael made that bracelet from the flower that blossomed

my mother's grave, but doesn't that inhibit our power?

Yes, the yellow pollen does, but Jones told Liz that these purple petals here,

these are like alien building blocks.

Maria, I'm not comfortable with destroying that bracelet.

It's the one thing that's keeping your brain from turning into oatmeal.

I got a call today that my mom's condition is worsening.

You're my family, not some funny lineage that we joke about. You care about me

like a sister.

And I care about you like one, too.

So I'm going to help you bring down Jones.

And then with the science that Liz gets from studying his dead intergalactic

ass, you're going to help me not become my mom.

You mend me today.

I mend you tomorrow.

That's the definition of family.

Where we at?

Well, the specs of this radio now match that of a Lockhart machine.

I just have to make some alien glass out of all the turquoise you said you had

to mine. But I found a bunch in a drawer here, so... I'm not gonna lie to you.

I'm sort of freaked out.

Are you afraid that this isn't gonna work?

I'm afraid we're only getting the start of something.

You know, we never even went on a real first date.

We never walked down Main Street holding hands.

I need you to know, if this goes bad tomorrow,

I love you. No.

Don't say those words.

We are going to win this.

Okay.

Winning is what worries me.

What? Can you explain that?

What if I have to kill my own father?

You gonna love me that?

Am I still gonna love myself?

That self -loathing is what caused this mess between us for 15 years.

What's winning gonna do?

Is it going to set us right back to square one? Are we going to be able to

survive that war again if it does?

No. Listen to me.

We are not who we were in high school, let alone a year ago.

We already defeated one monstrous father, and we will do it again.

Use the serum to permanently sever Max from Jones. It's ready.

I'll finish the wiring at the meat spot.

You go to Deep Sky.

Get us control of some radio towers, huh?

I can't believe it worked.

Oh, my God.

Are you sure this is going to swap me and Jones?

Uh, 92 % sure.

What about the other 8 %?

Blind faith.

But I am technically a genius.

Hey.

So how are we on the timetable to kill Jones? We can inject him with Lingads.

It'll keep you two apart in 22 minutes and 9 seconds.

Okay.

Maybe a kiss for luck?

I will kiss you when you're back in your own body, Max Evans.

Of course you're behind this, Elizabeth.

Impressive. You've managed to swap our bodies and meet my abilities all at

And since you don't have your pointy glow stick, we've turned you into just

normal pain -in -the -ass galactic bully.

I'm not caught.

No, I just have a better view while I wait for my plan to unfold. What are you

talking about?

I saw your plan to kill me in Eduardo's head.

What could possibly be so amusing?

No, I'm just thinking about Max when he realizes where he ended up.

Okay.

Hey, no, no, no. No, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me.

Okay.

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay. Are you good?

Okay, Max is on his way to Alex with the Lockhart machine.

He was able to save Eduardo in the nick of time.

Can't keep a good Valenti down.

This is what you call a cavalry.

What a sad lot.

I have an opportunity.

Who wants to make a deal?

When I get out of these restraints, and I will get out, Whoever helps me

survives.

You keep trying to divide us, but we stand together.

Then you'll fall together.

You'll fail while you assemble this shoddy device.

I mean, this radio is as poorly constructed as the Lockhart machine.

You're wondering if I turned it on.

Then undo my restraints and jump in my head, son.

You'll see that I called a vessel.

And those ready to navigate once they reawaken.

I think you're bluffing.

Maybe once I'm gone, you'll figure out how I escaped.

Maybe you talk too much.

While we wait. Have you figured out the mistake my son made yet, Rosa?

No? Okay. Then I'll conserve my energy until the fun begins.

Why are we drawing my blood?

I thought we had a time frame for when my DNA is decoupled from Jones.

Given we've got only one shot at this, we need everything to be exact.

Which is why I'm sure genetically our clock is on track.

You have any idea what our unwanted party guest was referring to?

This is my fifth rodeo, but I still don't know everything.

Oh!

Whoa, Rosa, are you okay?

What do you hear?

It sounds loud and squeaky.

Squeaky? Like bats?

The Valencia radio uses infrared, which can match with the bat's echolocation.

Show me where the serum is.

Isabel, it's me.

What? It's me. It's me. It's me. I was with Kyle.

Please, we gotta swap me back.

I'm gonna need that device.

I really don't want to fight you, but I definitely can't give you that alien

box.

I guess I'll kill you then.

Oh, today is not my day.

Evans?

Is that really you?

Yes! Damn it, Kyle, it's me.

You will never be as powerful as your old man.

Yeah, but he's got a pretty clever circle of friends.

Listen, Garrett, we have 47 seconds until Jones can use this serum, and the

woman I love has the thing we need to end it.

It's time you hold my metaphorical beer.

Well, Elizabeth, I told you I'd get you to untangle me from Max.

You will be.

On my terms.

And then we're going to kill you.

I worked out from here.

Theoretically, he can control water.

I have a fire extinguisher in the car.

What? I'm a registered EMT.

Valencia, go get him! Yeah!

Your body will still be mine.

Michael, are you okay?

No way in hell you win today.

How do we tell which one is Max?

I'm Max. Of course you'd say that. I can prove it. The secret ingredient to

Space Jam.

It's Concord Rinds.

Liz, it's me.

Look in my eyes.

There's too much fear coming off all of us. I can't get a read on their auras.

What about you, Rosa? Can you get a frequency?

It's standing too close together for me to make it out.

Maria?

You got Big Bob on you?

Yep.

I'll get it.

That's a bad idea, Liz.

No, it's a good one.

I trust you, Liz.

What was our first lab experiment in high school biology class?

Dissecting a salamander.

You nicknamed him Sammy. Yeah, you laughed at me because I couldn't make

first cut.

When's the first time you were in my bedroom?

I've never been there.

I was going to go once, but I got nervous and I blew up the music machine.

just afraid of your dad, so I made up an excuse and I left.

What song was playing on my walkman at the playground the day we met

Sledgehammer

Peter Gabriel That's the

song I knew you'd show yourself

You said that song is somewhere in your head, but all you can remember are my

eyes Michael don't let him come

back in

Please tell me you know there's only one Alan Michael for the hero of your next

secret novel. Thank you for letting me know.

I, uh, I got this for you.

No. Brother.

Please tell me we are not all getting a sappy letter.

Yeah, let's stop looking backwards.

Yeah.

No.

This is my secret acetone margarita recipe.

I love this!

Thank you.

So maybe while you mix up the next picture, we can discuss what to do with

Joan's body.

Ah, you want to give it to Liz, don't you?

Yeah, I do. But I think it's something we should discuss. No more secrets.

And there's someone who should also have a vote.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Keith had a very long confessional. How is, uh, what's his work back doing?

He's all right.

You know, he's got a lot of soul -searching to do, but nothing for you

Long look on the mirror, can't fix.

Well,

it's not a Mai Tai.

Okay. Try this.

Okay. Thank you.

Mama's so thirsty.

Thank you.

That's different.

But it's good, though. Because it's got acetone in it?

What?

We have a lot to share with you.

Arturo said you would be here.

Whoa.

What is this?

You know I don't like surprises.

Rosa doesn't.

Maybe Rosalinda does.

I asked our new clandestine uncle for a favor.

You are officially Rosalinda Ortego, who I might add is actually going on a trip

to New York for a few months.

I thought you would be a little less dour.

No, no, no. I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm all fireworks on the inside. I just, um... I... I just

got this flash of worry.

You know, like... Like, what if I ruin this life, too?

I read on a mural somewhere that... Cracks are where the light gets in.

And this is for me.

Okay, so where's Alex?

He is finishing up some analysis on the Lockhart machine.

So, um, did E .T. phone home?

Alex said that the glass inside the machine was fried, so it doesn't appear

That's good.

The way Jones was talking, it sounded like there was a whole lot of stuff that

we didn't know about.

What do you think?

I think Alex texted me to meet him in an hour for our first

actual date.

Oh, my God. Yeah, so I think I'm going to leave the mysteries of the universe

hold for the night.

I'm happy for you, bro.

Oh,

hi.

Hey.

What'd I do to deserve that?

Uh, there are a lot of reasons.

I was thinking I could work through them alphabetically on the dance floor. Oh,

I would love to, but I've got to make some drinks for table seven. Hey, you

what? You guys go.

I'm a DeLuca. This is my birthday.

Okay, don't wish you luck.

But thank you.

Okay.

Let's get out of here.

Where do you want to go?

To the ocean.

When you texted me, I wanted to try something we've never done before.

I did not think we would end up in front of Papa Mains.

We beat him.

Throw your arms around my neck.

Won't be soon to forget.

We're close.

Throw your arms around my neck. I always wanted to do that.

I was looking for Maria. I actually never got a chance to say thank you for

saving my life.

Yeah, that's a big one.

I gave our girl the night off. Oh, well then.

You want me to stay? I can help you clean up.

Um, actually, it's kind of cathartic me time.

I mean, you know what they say.

Mend the bar, mend the mind.

Yeah, yeah, I understand.

Um, well, I guess this is good night.

You know what, Valencia?

Valencia?

Because, um...

I didn't really get to celebrate at all today.

I wanted to blow off some steam.

Uh, yeah, um... There's no pressure. Just a dance.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh.

What was that for?

Just got a job offer to head out my own island at the Dalian with.

We print an Albuquerque journal.

That's amazing.

I'm so proud of you. Thank you. That's great news.

That's great. That's great news. And that's great tequila. You guys should

celebrate. I'll grab another for Maria.

Why don't you stay, Valenti? Have a drink with us. Celebrate.

Yeah.

Perhaps another time.

What are you doing?

I haven't been in here.

So I'm just enjoying seeing the lair.

I know I can be a little slow sometimes, but this doesn't seem like the ocean.

Well... This will have to do until we get to the actual one.

So we will get through.

I need you to do something very important for me.

Anything.

This woman has no clothes.

Ali.

Mrs. Ali.

I have a woman here to see you.

I believe she's one of the guy people that you talk about when you drink too

much mezcal.

What's her name? She keeps repeating one Liz Ortecho.

That's not her name. Liz Ortecho was a student of mine.

How the hell do you know who Liz Ortecho is?
