Roswell, New Mexico (2019) s04e10 Episode Script

1
Previously on Roswell, New Mexico
You have created a compound that
boosts brain power beyond limit.
Try just a little.
You can save our child.
Even if it was possible
to bring her back,
you would lose yourself.
I would rather lose myself
than my daughter.
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.
- This isn't over.
- Given I now have the means
to finish what my savior
asked to be built.
Jones said once
you've gathered all the pieces,
Liz Ortecho will bring the alighting.
Dallas left behind a page
from his dad's Bible.
There were notes in the
margins that led him here.
It's not just quicksand.
There's something behind it.
There's a whole world down
there. I see Alex's pendant.
He's alive down there. I know it.
It's good to see you, son. Your journey
is just beginning.
Dallas?
Dallas!
Who's there?
Uh, just a guy as confused as you are.
Dallas!
Hey. It's good to see you, too.
Hey.
How you feeling?
Motivated.
To do what?
Solve our alien dilemma.
Mm.
I think maybe we should probably talk
- about some of the things you said.
- You know,
I don't trust anything
I told myself in a fever dream,
and I don't think you should, either.
I'm here now, right? And I
I feel fine.
Well, your shaking hand says otherwise.
It's a combo platter
of alien and human drugs,
so that's to be expected.
But I appreciate your concern.
I just I got to go.
Where you headed?
The sinkhole.
I'm gonna run some tests, see if I can
figure out why it seems
to be a one-way door.
Hey. Maybe you need to
just slow down for a second.
You know? We almost died last night.
Okay, so you can see why
I'm eager to not repeat that.
Look, once we get our friends back
from that hole in the desert,
we can coffee talk
to your heart's content.
What is this place
that we're sitting in?
Well, from what I read
in my dad's Bible,
I think, um
I think it's a pocket
world that he built.
You know why he built it?
Honestly, I was hoping that you did.
You know, since Clyde was
looking for his pages, too.
All Clyde said was that Theo,
Nora and Louise hid the way home
and that Theo's Bible was
the key to finding our way free.
So, I'm-I'm hoping
that because we fell
into the entrance that
that there must be an exit.
Yeah, I think so.
And my dad, he, um, he left me a message
via a hologram welcome wagon,
and he said that I need to travel
to where time stands still.
And once I find what I seek,
I need to follow the light
to where the sun rises.
Poetic.
Because what we need right now
is a haiku.
Okay, I think it was a code.
All right? My dad was worried
about an evil dictator
stealing his instructions.
So, do you think that he's
he's leading us to Oasis
or-or back to Earth?
Well, that's the thing about journeys.
You don't figure out where
they end till you start them.
Hey.
- Um
- Hey.
I didn't know that you were coming. I
Do you want me to leave?
No. No, I don't.
I
It's really good to see you.
It's good to see you, too.
We can hug, right?
Yeah. Of course.
Yeah. Good. Come here.
The best part of waking up
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
So, Tezca.
Not a bad guy anymore?
No. She never was, apparently.
Yeah, kind of a-a brain in
a blender situation with Jones.
I have her at my studio. I'm
hoping that if I work with her,
we can get her back to her old self,
maybe we can get some answers.
But if our alien chameleon
turned white hat,
wouldn't she have given
us the goods by now?
You know it's not quite
that simple, Michael.
Her mind's a little jumbled
between what's reality
and what's Ophiuchus rewrite.
Uh, but she did tell me that, um,
Jones commissioned Theo
to design a way home.
A way home how?
Yeah, again, it is kind of jumbled.
She thinks that Theo hid his plan
in a "pocket dimension."
Hmm. Okay. Well, maybe
this pocket dimension is
how Maria was sensing Alex.
And since Dallas and Bonnie
are still MIA,
maybe they're in the same place.
Yeah. I'm guessing the way out
is probably hidden
in Theo's coded Bible.
Which Dallas found, yeah?
Yes. Uh, but then he himself
slipped into a pocket dimension, so
That was right before
Clyde burned down the church,
ostensibly covering his tracks.
Okay, while we're all
making guesses here,
we're thinking that Bible
ended up in Clyde's hands?
If it did, then it's only a
matter of time before he uses it.
What about you, Doc?
You run across any little
green men while in Careyes?
Did you get probed?
I'm not one to probe and tell.
But
I did find something.
It's sealed, but it came with a note.
"Time will tell you
when to join these together."
Does that mean anything to anyone?
Message doesn't.
But the words do.
It's my mom's handwriting.
You know, Theo and Bronson
divided up the-the star map to Careyes.
Maybe this has something to do
with the way home.
Yeah. If that way home
is connected to the sinkhole,
I think we could start looking
for answers in there.
- Yeah.
- Get this back to the lair and see?
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna, um, relieve Maria
of, uh, alien-sitting Tezca.
Uh, is Liz laying down?
I brought my bag to do a quick checkup.
Uh, sounds good, but,
uh, patient is missing.
She said she felt fine and left,
but, um, I'm worried.
You should be.
I mean, based on Heath's analysis,
the mist she inhaled could have
some neurological effects.
Like I said, worried.
You two okay?
Look, we've been down
the "Max and Liz
operating independently" road.
People get raised from the dead.
Labs explode.
There's a lot of heartache.
So, my advice?
Just try and get
on the same page, Evans.
Before bad turns to things
I hate getting texts about.
Don't hate me for pushing
you towards greatness.
Pinot and a PowerPoint presentation
That might've been a better sell.
But I'm here now.
And I'm glad.
You got the enhanced cognition?
I'm seeing connections
everywhere I look.
Kick's something awful at the front,
but I'm guessing you got a taste
of the positive side effects
on the back end?
And now I'm ready to move on
to more important work.
Like curing Nicole?
Like making sure nothing
ever hurts anyone we love again.
So
where do we start?
Getting more mist.
What's all this about?
You were once my teacher
and a great warrior.
If we can
reconnect your mind
to its state before Jones,
maybe you can rediscover memories
that can help us defeat Clyde
and reverse the plan
that you set into motion.
If you're the strong fighter
that you claim to be,
you should know it's foolish to trust me
when I don't even trust myself.
You saw the warrior that I could be.
I see the warrior
that's waiting to return.
Let's see what you've got.
It's fear that impedes
our ability to fight.
So that's what we have to master first.
Let's take him down.
So, how'd you find this?
Well, turns out I've got
another secret Valenti relative.
Eduardo's estranged daughter.
She held some clues as to where
this was hidden in the jungle.
I tried to open it,
but nothing worked on it.
Okay, is this some space curse?
Oh, my God.
It's the rest of my console.
I-I think the pieces inside
the box are drawn to it
like some supermagnet.
Where's the rest of it, Valenti?
Don't you mean,
"Thank you for helping me bring
what I've spent two decades
looking for"?
No. I mean, where's the rest of it?
Because 90% of my console
still pegs it as an alien paperweight.
Maybe not. Turn around, Guerin.
Has it ever done that before?
Never.
And I take it
you wouldn't know what that
flashing symbol means, either?
No. But you and I?
We're gonna find out.
So, like, what are we
looking for, exactly?
Dallas has been on a six-month
Ancient Aliensbender.
I didn't think his nonsense
would add up to anything,
but he had this cheat sheet
with symbols
and their supposed meanings.
"Sentient Symbology:
- The language of the lesser gods."
- That's it.
So, according to his work,
the symbol on the console means "open"
or possibly "death."
Ah. Well, that's a translation
I'd like to not get wrong.
If it means "open,"
maybe it opens the sinkhole.
- That's a leap.
- It's a small one.
The glowing locusts.
They were attracted to my console.
And the-the weather balloons
that Alex went looking for
before he went missing.
Maybe this thing
makes the door an exit,
not just an entrance.
But what if the symbol means "death"?
Let's hope it means "open."
Need a hand?
Or a good set of ears?
Yeah. Thank you for coming.
I, um
I've been at this for a while.
I can't seem to pick up anything.
I was hoping you and I
could pick up where we left off?
Well, Heath said
that what you're sensing
might be similar to my abilities.
Everything has a resonant
frequency, right?
And I'm guessing
so does the liminal space
that our friends are stuck in.
Wait, so you're saying
that my new powers
might be picking up frequencies
in other places, too?
Exactly. And as you tap into the energy
rippling off that
you're able to get glimpses
of our friends who went
all Land of the Lost.
It's something that the CIA tried to do,
is bend time and space
to spy on their enemies.
They called it remote viewing.
But they didn't have a real psychic.
Okay, so, how does any of this
help us make contact with our friends?
Well
the last time that you went barefoot
helped us get a signal from Alex,
so I'm thinking
that you need to try and feel
where they are
not just with your mind
but your body, too.
All right.
And don't just feel the ripples.
Ride the wave until you find them.
I saw it.
We have to go to the Roswell sign.
Okay.
When I had my hands on the Bible,
I remember reading
that there was a time capsule
that was buried right
here at the Roswell sign.
"Where time stands still."
Cute.
I mean, too bad we don't have
a shovel or something.
You know, for someone
so annoyingly obsessed
with being alien, you barely
lean into the good parts.
Can you open it?
That's weird, there's no,
there's no seams on the box,
or a lock to break into. Nothing.
Well well, maybe we can't unlock it
until we take it back
to where it belongs.
Okay.
Okay, my dad said that light
would lead us to a sunrise.
So maybe we find a beacon of light?
This one, I-I actually had
a hunch about.
There's an inscription that
says that at our hideout.
Of course.
Lighthouses are beacons for sailors,
a refuge from danger.
Most people think that
about their church.
Come on.
What's the point of this exercise?
It's desensitizing therapy.
It's used by the American military.
We're gonna take down this space tyrant
until you no longer feel fear.
No matter how many times Jones pops up,
we will take him down.
You don't have to be afraid
of him anymore.
What is this, Tezca?
Who are they?
It's everyone I hurt.
It's every everyone I killed.
Traitor!
You fought Dallas' father.
We-we were allies. Friends.
Until Jones.
And then I turned on everyone.
Tezca
You tried. You failed.
Lesson's over.
What are you doing here?
I was collecting another sample.
What does my pod have
to do with the sinkhole?
Considering at some point these
pods were also impenetrable,
I figured it was worth a look.
Are you checking up on me?
I trust you.
Then let me do what I do.
What I am working on could
save a lot of people's lives.
I don't have time for you
to be second-guessing me.
I'm just trying to help you.
Do you understand
the relativistic dynamics
of Hawking's radiation?
Can you convert constrained
Lagrange multipliers?
I have to talk science with
someone who speaks my language.
Like Shivani.
Shivani who almost killed you?
Accidents happen.
Darwin called it evolution.
I want to build a life with you, Max.
You gotta know that.
So get out of my way so I can
go and make that possible.
Okay.
This frog's nucleating proteins
ensure the water in its blood
freezes first.
So the cells shrink, and
it enters suspended animation.
An earthbound way of replicating
what those alien pods do.
Exactly.
But our Kermit here is freshly dead,
so I have an electrical current
that's pulsing through him.
Same as you have to with Nicole.
And it's gonna stimulate
and simulate stasis.
But with the right chemical combo,
we'll breathe new life
into those waiting cells.
I'll mix it up.
You think we're moving too fast?
'Cause I saw Max in the cave, and he
He doesn't see that you're
trying to protect him, right?
That's why he needs your protection.
If he got this worked up
over you trying to steal
a few egg whites from his nest,
he couldn't possibly understand
what we're trying to do.
There's a heartbeat.
I-I-It's weak, arhythmic,
but it's there.
We did it.
I'll have my team get Nicole ready.
No. No, no, no. No.
Not yet. Humans are
a whole different animal.
Okay? We have to run more tests.
I have to compare
Kermit's cells with Rosa's,
and check for abnormal apoptosis
- and cellular degradation.
- Uh-huh.
We just finished the last of her blood.
She was my sister.
There's always more blood.
Ha.
"Welcome all to this house of light."
Bonnie, good work.
Well, this was a house of light.
Then my Triad found it.
Everything that walks
through these doors is broken.
The goal is just
walk out more mended than you came in.
Yeah, that's what this planet is to me.
On Oasis, I'm a
I'm a threat to the ones I love.
A weapon designed to rob people
of their very identities.
That's all I've ever been.
A taker.
But not on Earth.
Well, humans don't have powers
that I can steal.
Earth was the first place
that I finally felt free.
Now I might not ever get back there.
Hey, I, um
I think you're wrong.
You're not just a taker,
which is how you've been
taught to see yourself.
You want to know what I see?
Potential.
Potential to give.
It's just up to you to make it true.
Uh I remembered something.
What is it?
Bonnie. Bonnie!
I-I think I found something.
What is this?
It's light. The light.
This little light of mine ♪
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
This little light of mine ♪
Your father left us a map.
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
This little light of mine ♪
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
Let it shine, let it shine ♪
Let it shine ♪
Better yet, I think I know
where this symbol leads.
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
Let it shine, let it shine,
let it shine. ♪
I-I felt it before. I don't know
why I'm not getting anything.
Look, getting command of my abilities
came in fits and starts, too.
Use the Force?
Pick whatever metaphor you want,
but stop looking for it,
and let your brain look for it.
Remember, everything is vibrating.
The sand, the liminal space, us.
Remember what it felt like,
and settle into that frequency.
What, did you get something?
Yeah.
Hey, Liz just sent me an SOS text.
All right, you handle that.
Your work is done here,
Professor McGonagall.
I got this.
Nothing's working on this console.
We are still stuck on
the E.T. equivalent
of "internal server error."
Okay, look, I know the rope
covered in silver didn't work,
but Dallas left behind some
notes that could be useful.
Look, what if we just tried
dropping something else in?
Just forget it, Valenti.
Everything goes in, nothing comes out.
Just like Alex.
We'll find him.
You want to tell me how?
'Cause I think this is useless.
After all these years,
after everything Alex
and I have been through,
our love is losing out
to a hole in the ground.
Listen, I know what it means
to yearn for something
that's always just out of reach.
I'm sure whatever girl
you're trying to reach for
just needs you to reach
a little further.
The truth is
she just didn't reach back.
But you know who's reaching back? Alex.
To you.
Now, he's out there somewhere
doing his damnedest
to reach you through Maria.
Every bit as determined to be with you
as you are with him.
That's powerful.
So the minute you want to start
giving up the faith, I'll keep it
for the both of you.
I hate it when you are right.
Can you please bring me
the notebook of crazy ideas, Valenti?
We're trying something else.
Okay.
An SOS text to draw my blood?
Beginning to think that
you're a vampire.
There's too much blue.
In my veins?
No, in-in your painting.
It's distracting.
It's Composition is off.
How do you not see that?
Well, it's not a paint by numbers.
It's an expression of my inner self.
Well, your inner self needs
to get a better handle
on symmetry and color balance.
Hey, what do you need this for anyway?
It's too complicated to explain.
Well, that doesn't answer my question.
I'm working on something.
I need your blood to check my work.
Okay?
You're taking the mist?
It's fine. Side effects from
last night's medical saga.
Yeah, right.
Irritability, intense alertness.
Liz, I know the signs
of substance abuse.
I'm not the junkie in the family, Rosa,
so stop projecting
your addiction onto me
because you still crave it.
Of course I do. Okay? Everybody does,
but I'm two years sober.
You mean you're worried about
falling off the wagon?
My Rosita, just because
you struggle with self-control
does not mean I do, too.
We should go a little slower next time.
I'm too far gone to be fixed.
You know, when I was younger, I
didn't have a very strong sense of self.
So when I got married,
my husband became
my source of strength.
He knew that I was weak.
He took control of my mind.
And he used me
to murder three young women.
You killed three people.
I killed dozens.
That was by Jones' hand.
The sword was in my hand, Isobel.
You can make amends.
And I can help you.
You want to help?
Give me back my memories.
They're false memories.
With them, at least I could cope.
But now you've taken away the one thing
that made my life bearable.
Your forgetting isn't going
to change what happened.
I know I don't have to tell you that.
In order to heal,
you have to acknowledge
what happened in the past.
And then what?
When I found out what
my husband had done to me,
my world was shattered.
I had to fight like hell
to become the woman
that I wanted to be.
I know who you were
before Jones corrupted your mind,
but who you want to be tomorrow
that's entirely up to you.
The first thing I do
when I get back to Earth
is eat one of those those
birds inside another bird
that's-that's inside another bird.
You know? What is that called?
Uh, turducken?
Is this another clue on the way to
"X" marks the spot?
No. No, I think this is the "X"
that my dad wanted me to find.
What is it?
I think this is a portal.
I wonder what this thing does.
Whoa, I
I think the box is moving.
What is that?
Michael recovered part
of Nora's console.
I mean, this This looks like
it's another piece.
And it seems like
the entire console would fit
right here in this spot.
Yeah, this this indenture,
it should hold the star map.
Okay, Michael always thought
that it controlled some kind of ship.
I always thought Clyde and
Tezca were looking for one,
but-but this must control the gateway.
Okay, Michael said that the star map had
hundreds of planets on it.
So maybe this could go
to all of them, including Oasis.
Okay, but how do we find our way there?
I don't know.
My dad referenced
a sunrise in his clue, so
I guess we have to find some kind of way
to trigger that somehow?
Well, it looks like I'm close.
The ripples
Waves to read.
Okay, there is something weird here.
Oh, my God.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I, um, I got your text.
Um, I'm guessing
you didn't want to meet up
just to split a plate of NASA-chos.
Liz was just here, and she was
all Hyde, no Jekyll.
Okay.
Did you know that she's still
huffing alien whippets?
She's acting like an addict.
I would know.
It was like looking into a mirror.
The mist is acting like a narcotic,
and it'll wreck her life
to sustain itself.
Let me talk to her.
She said she was doing this
out of love for me.
Maybe I can break through.
You're right.
A warrior can only fight
what's in front of them.
So I'll atone for my sins
through the children of those I hurt.
I was a confidant
of the ones you called Nora,
Louise and Theo.
A go-between passing
scientific plans amongst them.
When I saw Theo,
I was reminded of something
I'd hoped never to think about again.
Show me.
Another one of your fanciful inventions
to save our planet?
Perhaps it's time
we change our perception of home
and look beyond the stars.
This is a method or transportation?
One that can link our world to others
across vast galaxies.
It's just a prototype.
And there needs to be a second elsewhere
in order to establish a bridge.
You know what will happen
if the dictator finds out
such technology exists.
Which is why I've already
thought ahead, my dear friend.
I'm thinking about a lock
that will prevent him
and his followers from ever using it.
That's what Jones wanted from Liz.
He thought that she
could pick that lock.
There was a time when
I would have burned down
this entire planet
to fulfill Ophiuchus' will.
Clyde, he's a true believer.
He didn't need his precious savior
to warp his mind into obeying.
Okay, I think I got an idea.
You think you can open this thing
with just that piece?
No, but Guerin always said that
the pieces want to be together.
Maybe we can exploit that connection.
Guerin!
Your console is
consoling.
Did you touch it?
No, no, no, it just started doing
this crazy light show on its own.
What was that?
I don't know.
There's only one way to prove
it's not a coincidence.
Holy Close Encounters.
What are you doing?
Praying to God that
this message is received.
I mean is it a pattern?
It's better than that, Valenti.
It's Morse code.
It's a way to talk with hits and spaces.
I-I learned it at summer camp.
What is the flashing saying?
"Are you"
"Alex?"
Is that Manes?
No. But it is Bonnie and Dallas.
Okay, well, that's still progress.
Ask them where they are.
They aren't sure.
Find anything?
Literally? No, but
I am giving Dr. Strange
a run for his money.
Strange could categorize
things over here, too.
Can we talk shop later?
Please tell us
that you got new information
on where our lost friends are.
You're gonna have to come
stand with me to believe it.
And, Guerin, bring your console.
I don't make you mediocre,
and I would never hold you back.
Our conversation in your mind.
Blaming me for something
that I said in a fever dream.
I'm not interested in the lie.
Who really won that standoff?
The one who can make the hard choices.
Do you? 'Cause taking that stuff
isn't a hard choice.
It's giving in to fear.
I'm here to help you stop.
Okay? All I've ever wanted is to
be the man behind Liz Ortecho.
And I am out there fighting for us
the only way I know how:
conquering the science.
And I've done it, Max.
I built this drug,
and it is currently supercharging
my neurosynapses.
I mean, look at this guy.
A few hours ago, he was dead.
Look at him now.
That is unethical.
So it's only okay when you do it?
You used to be able to heal people
with just a touch of a hand,
and you gave that up.
Because it literally killed me.
No, you rejected learning
about the blue flame,
which could have shed light
on how your healing works.
You were scared.
And then you bailed.
So now I am sitting here
trying to do what you do; I am evolving.
I didn't bail.
I accepted my limitations.
Now, why can't you accept yours?
Maybe you're my limit.
I love you, Max.
But I need to take
the next steps on my own.
Well, that frog you resurrected
it's dead.
- I'm sorry, but the frog is dead.
- What?
We didn't cure death.
Yet.
No, I've looked at this
from every angle.
Then let's take some more mist
and discover new angles.
There are some things
science can't do, Shivani.
This is one of them.
- No, there must be a way
- There isn't.
And all the time we waste trying
is better spent on
a hundred other things
because there are children
just like Nicole dying,
whose illnesses we could
eradicate using the mist.
Those children aren't my daughter.
Yeah, I admired you.
Your strength, your determination
to accomplish the impossible,
but now I see that your singular focus
is not your strength,
it is your weakness.
I thought we both knew what it was like
to lose someone we love.
I'm sorry, I'm done with emotional ties.
That is my weakness.
Without the distraction of Max,
nothing is holding me back.
From what?
What matters more than
the life of my daughter?
I'm sorry, Shivani.
Partnerships only work when
we're both on the same path,
and we're clearly at a crossroads.
Good luck.
- Hey, Isobel.
- Hey. Uh
Oh, boy.
We have to talk to you about Liz.
You know that alien mist?
She's still taking it.
And we're gonna need all hands
on deck to pull her out.
Especially mine.
I'm hoping you can help me
get my powers back.
I can't believe it.
Shaped just like my console.
Minus the missing piece.
We'll find it.
Just like I'll find Alex.
Thanks for helping me put my
pieces together today, Valenti.
I hope you find ways to connect the ones
that don't fit just yet.
Hey!
We doing this or what?
Dallas, look.
In a world on fire ♪
Just like a sunrise.
Sun is low ♪
Hey, you can, you can see us?
Never been more happy to.
That's Earth.
Wait, I thought the portal
just went to Oasis.
I bet the star map controls
where it goes.
Without it, it's probably preset
to go to only one place.
Whoa, what was that?
In a world on fire ♪
Whatever's powering this thing,
it's almost on E.
The portal, it could close any minute.
Then you pick a side ♪
I'm going through.
- Whoa.
- Are you sure?
What if you can't get back?
Clyde burned down the only
alien tree we know of on Earth.
But there might be more fruit
for fuel on the other side.
Close your eyes ♪
And you pick a side ♪
It's my one shot to see Alex. Okay?
I'm not letting it go.
Broken and heartless ♪
I'm staying, too.
I gotta see this through
the way my father couldn't.
Listen, I don't know where
this alien brick road
might take us next,
but this might be your last
chance to get back to Earth.
I'm more than just a taker.
I want to help my friend find
the man that he loves.
Oh, oh ♪
Earth isn't going anywhere.
World on fire ♪
Now or never, buddy.
And you pick a side ♪
Will you follow blindly ♪
Into the darkness? ♪
Michael!
If you close your eyes ♪
And you pick a side ♪
So, uh
now what do we do?
Now we find Alex.
