Roswell (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 17 - Cry Your Name - full transcript
When one of their closest friends die in suspicious circumstances, each character deals with it differently. Liz is in denial, refusing to believe that her friend would commit suicide; Maria falls apart, leaning on a surprisingly caring Michael for support; Isabel believes her friend's death was her fault; Kyle tries to stay strong and Max finds himself jealous that Sean is there for Liz when he can't be. Liz makes an accusation that could ultimately crush her relationship with not only Max, but the entire pod squad.
I told you. Prom sucks.
Take Liz for example. She totally thought that prom
would be the perfect opportunity to rekindle things with Max.
No.
And Kyle.
He thought he'd finally get closer to Tess,
as in a lot closer,
until he
that his feelings for Tess
were a little more sibling than sex kitten.
But, there is a silver lining
to this gray cloud of prom disasters
Alex.
He came back from Sweden a new man
and Isabel finally noticed.
And I think with a little help from Liz and myself
those two crazy kids might actually find true love.
Yeah, it was a great night for me too.
Yeah, so what are you doing tonight?
Tonight?
I can't
Why?
I have a..d'aa.
I'm studying..
Alex.
an "A"is the best you can get.
Yeah I know,
but I--I got a--I got a monstrous final in a--
Robert Frost?
English--Eng--English.
Yeah, killer final.
Mr. Brazzi's really puttin' the screws to us.
Well, if you'd rather stay in studying
and not come out and play with me.
I--I don't want to, but I have to.
Okay. Well if you change your mind,
I'll be at the Crashdown,
probably until closing so.
Okay, well uh, I'll see you later.
Okay.
I'm so proud of you.
This blows.
Well at least you have the upper hand.
Yeah, you've got her chasing you.
Who would have thought that?
Not me.
She's thinking about me.
Even now she's on her bed
and she's thinking about me.
Okay,
so are we done with this Isabel thing?
All right, Max kissed Tess.
Maria, let's go to work.
Okay.
Come on. Alex, now Alex, you be strong! Okay?
Strong, strong, strong.
You be strong. Okay? Goodbye.
Strong. Strong..yeah.
Hey is this Whitman?
Yeah. Hey Alex! Your food's here.
Here, come in.
Bye.
It's about time.
Sorry man,
I got turned around on Cherry Drive.
Hey, this isn't even warm.
yeah, sorry. You better nuke it.
: I'm...I'm so sick of this.
I'm....always the same thing. Always cold,
always the same thing.
I'm just so sick of everything.
Could, could you sign here,
please?
Why does life have to be so wrong?
Why does everything have to be a lie?
I don't know dude
Hey Hanson. Whatcha you got?
Pretty bad.
Sedan doing about 70 did a head-on with a Semi.
Fatalities?
Yeah, one.
Anyone I know?
Great.
You are so full of it.
I just call it like I see it.
You can't compare The Matrix with Crouching Tiger.
Crapping Tiger is a chick flick with kung fu.
First of all crapping--
Crouching Tiger is actually about something:
Love, honor, duty.
Matrix is about something:
Illusion, reality, gunfire.
You simply cannot prefer Keanu Reeves to Michelle Yeoh.
You can't.
I won't let you....
What?..
No!
There's been an accident.
Alex is dead.

He'll need to use his power to open the doors.
He'll take a deep breath,
put his hand on his chest,
and bring him back to life.
And Alex will sit up suddenly, and Max will jump back,
and the whole wagon will shake a little--
The whole--The whole wagon will shake and--
and they'll come running back here with big goofy grins on their faces
and we'll have to come up with some kind of
cover story for Hanson and everybody.
Max?
I think you should all go home now.
Oh my god!
Come on. I'll take you home.
Max. Go after her.
Liz, I--
Yeah, go after her Max.
Hey Dad.
Morning
Not a very happy day is it.
Listen. Uh.
This may not seem like very much right now,
but there's something I'd like you to know.
Alex died yesterday.
He didn't die today,
and I don't want you remembering it
as if it happened today.
All right?
Happy birthday, son.
Oh my god! Oh Alex! Oh my god,
I thought you were dead!
no no no.
Listen that was just.
that was just a big misunderstanding
Everything's fine. All right?
So, how are you doing?
Fine. Fine now.
So have you made any decision about college yet?
Yeah, I think I'm going to stay.
Graduate with Max and you guys.
Good. Good.
Because I'd miss you if you were gone.
Yeah, I'd miss you too. I just.
I just don't want to be away from you anymore.
well, no worries about that.
I'm not going anywher,
except band practice.
See, I'm running late
and the guys are waitin' for me
So, I gotta jet.
But I'm gonna see you tonight, right?
All right?
I will see you later.
Isabel. Isabel, wake up honey.
Oh my god. It was just a dream.
It was just a dream.
Ohh sweetheart. Ohh.
DeLuca residence.
Michael?
What are you, sneaking breakfast now?
Don't you have to be at school or something?
Sean, shut up, okay?
Alex was killed last night.
What? How?
Car accident.
Jezu.
Oh geez. How's Maria?
Pretty torn up.
Same with your aunt.
Look, I uh, I got this court thing in Albuquerque.
They're telling me I got to stay a couple more days.
So, could you,
you know, look after my family?
I'll take care of 'em.
Thanks. Later.
Sean?
No, Max.
Sorry Max. I thought you were Sean.
I just.
I just got off the phone with him.
This is horrible.
I--I can't even believe it.
Me neither.
How are you doing?
I know you were so close to him.
Not as close as Liz. How is she?
She's not doing so--so good.
I--I think she's in denial.
Can I talk to her?
She's not here.
She--She went out.
I don't even know where she went.
She just needs a little bit of space right now.
Right. Umm...Can--can you just
tell her that I called? Thanks.
Last thing that I remember's
Hitting my brakes
and trying to turn away but--...
You turned to the left or the right?
Right.
He was coming at me from the left.
Skid marks say he turned to the right.
'Course they do. Why would I lie about.
How many beers
did you have at the Bison Pub?
I had one beer.
Three hours before I got on the road.
You said you were going 65.
I said I was going 55
and I don't like the sound of these questions.
Just doing our job.
That's bull
You tryin' to pin this on me....
When the truth is that
boy deliberately swerved into my lane
for no reason.
Nobody knew where he was going.
But he wanted to stay home.
If I hadn't called him
and put the idea in his head
He.He would have never gotten in the car.
He would have never gotten in the car!
Isabel it was an accident. Honey, it's tragic
and it's painful and it's something
that none of us are ever gonna forget.
But it's not your fault.
I can't stop it.
I can't stop thinking
that the people I love and care about,
they end up hurt or dead.
Oh honey.
I wish--I wish I had some kind of special powers
or something to make all of this go away for you.
Special powers don't help.
I have to get out of here.
Where do you want to go?
Mom, there's something I need to tell you.
Liz.
Hey. How you doing?
Not good.
Just try and get through the day, okay?
Just keep moving forward. Keep breathing.
How 'bout you. How are you?
I'm fine.
Come on, it's me.
You don't have to put up a front.
Look at this.
- Isn't that?...
- Yeah. It's Alex and Leanna in Sweden.
I found it in the wreck.
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
It's all right. Hey. It's all right.
Oh my god
Look. Look at the way it's been cut up. Someone cut off..
Are you sick?
I can't believe you went there!
Maria! This means something.
Why is Alex's head missing?
Stop it! Stop it!
Shhh. It's okay.
It means something.
I don't know.
He just got really depressed.
It was weird you know.
I mean I deliver a lot of cold food.
and usually people just get pissed off.
they don't act like it's the end of the world.
Is that how he acted,
like it was the end of the world?
Yeah.
He say anything specific you remember?
"Life was wrong. Everything about life is a lie.
Why does it have to be that way?"
Stuff like that.
Okay. Thanks Jerry.
Talked to his teachers.
None of them saw anything unusual
in his behavior at the time
but looking back they think
they saw some warning signs:
Moody, sometimes confident, even cocky.
Other times sullen, quiet, and focused.
Sounds like every teenager I ever met.
Listen, I know you
don't want to talk about this theory.
Don't go there.
Jim, there's a pattern here.
No, there's not.
I hope you're right.
It was so much--blood.
I wasn't prepared for that.
You had to try.
I didn't want to--touch him.
And then his skin was so cold.
School's brought in the official grief counselor.
She's got all our names. So, be on the look out.
Do you see these people?
Who are they? They don't even know Alex.
They weren't even his friend.
And they're sitting there praying
and crying and putting on this show
as if they gave a damn about Alex
while he was alive!
God, it makes me so angry!
Hey.
Mr. Whitman called the house this morning
and asked if me and you and you would be
be pallbearers tomorrow.
Right.
Sure.
So, finally, I left.
He was losing it
and you could totally see it in his eyes.
I mean,
he was on his way out of this life.
Is that a fact?
I'd like to ask you some questions
if you have the time.
I have something to tell all of you.
I know this is a bad time,
but umm... I'm graduating early.
I'm leaving in June to start college
in the fall in San Francisco.
When did all this happen?
I've been thinking about it for a while.
I talked to Mom this morning
and she's fine with it so...
Look, Isabel, this isn't the time
to be making snap judgments about things.
This is my life Max.
No one is disputing that.
Do we have to talk about this now?
Maria's right...
This isn't a decision that we have to make today.
This isn't a decision we have to make at all.
It's my decision.
I made it. I'm leaving Roswell.
And then what did he say?
I don't know. I mean,
"Life isn't right." Or "Life is wrong."
Something like that.
Yeah and then what did you say?
Well, I said, "Whatever dude."
"Whatever dude?"
That's your reaction to a man who is devastated
and on his way out of this life?
Isn't that how you describe him to your fan cub?
Look, I wasn't--I mean, uh
I'm sorry I sounded like that.
Yeah.
If you remember anything else--anything.
My parents own the Crashdown,
you can usually find me there.
I know that this photo means something.
I know it.
- Yeah.
- What?
Well I don't really know.
What!
Don't give me that!
You are on to something.
This is a clue isn't it?
Maybe. We're a long way.
You--You have a theory about this don't you.
Liz...
this has been a very very difficult day
and I think maybe the best thing for you now--
No!
--would be to go on home and try to get some.
No, I do not need another grief counselor.
I want some answers!
I know
what happened to Alex was not an accident.
I know it with very fiber in my being
and I am gonna find out the truth
so cut the crap
and tell me what the photo means to you.
OK...
You're not gonna like what I'm about to say.
Tell me.
It's beginning to look more and more likely
that Alex might have deliberately turned his car into the oncoming traffic.
Wha--Wh-Why would he do that?
The last couple of weeks,
people have noticed changes in Alex's behavior.
Moodiness, lack of focus,
his grades started to slip.
Oh please.
Liz, I interviewed the truck driver.
I--I went to the accident scene;
I saw the school reports.
You are saying that
Alex killed himself over bad grades.
We may never know exactly why Alex did what he did.
But--Look at this.
This is part of the puzzle isn't it.
I mean look at it!
He deliberately defaced his own image.
The--believe me--it
--it tears me up to even say this--
Thank you for your time.
I don't want to be alone. Can--
Can I stay here tonight?
Sure
That's crazy.
Yes. I know. That is what I said.
Alex would never do something like that.
No! Of course not! It's ridiculous.
And, you know what's gonna happen. ...
Hanson is gonna go
and he's going to put that report and
it's going to be in the newspaper for
every single person to read. All of his friends, his family.
No
"Alex Whitman's death was
declared a suicide yesterday by the Roswell Sheriff's Department!"
We won't let that happen. I'll--I'll talk to Valenti.
He's just jumping to conclusions.
Just the fact that his parents
have to go through this--this nightmare.
They do not need to think that their son--
Liz, I'll handle it.
Thank you.
Hungry?
That's embarrassing.
No, that's all right.
When's the last time you ate?
yesterday... I think.
How does frozen macaroni and cheese sound?
Oh, no more tea. Thank you Michael.
It's not tea, hot buttered rum.
Help you sleep.
My foster dad taught me to
mix drinks before I could ride a bike.
He called it job training.
If all else fails I could always tend bar.
Oh what a charming man.
Uh, is Maria still asleep?
Yeah,
she keeps kickin' off the covers though.
she always does do that.
You know, I think this is the most time
you've ever spent in my house.
Yeah, I--I could leave if you want.
Just, it's nice to be around people.
No, no. That's not what I mean at all.
Uh, what I'm trying to say is that
you've really been great for my family.
And it's a wonderful thing
to see my daughter loved.
And I would like to see a lot more of that.
And as far as I'm concerned
you'll always be welcome in this house.
Thank you.
Welcome on the couch.
Right.
You're not really here. Are you?
No.
You're talking in your sleep.
God I wish
I could really talk to you Alex.
I'm the next best thing.
What do you want to say?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Me too.
I never should have called you.
I called you. Remember?
I never should've brought you into any of this.
Any of what?
Me. My life.
You think being with you
had something to do with what happened?
Yes, I do. I don't know how
but--
-God, If you hadn't been involved with me.
if I was really here,
I'd tell you you're full of crap.
You know that.
Yeah,
but it wouldn't make me feel any better.
I better go.
Why?
I'm not making things any better for you.
No, please. Please don't go.
I'm already gone. This is just a dream
you'll eventually wake up from.
Will I see you again?
That depends on you. But I have a feeling,
I wouldn't want me to be here.
Bye Isabel.
I love you Alex.
I think we both know.
I loved you too.
Remember the time
he electrified Mr. Hoffman's desk?
Yeah. You know,
he almost got suspended for that.
Never happen.
The teacher's loved him.
That guy could get away with anything.
At the prom,
I overheard Mr. Hoffman
telling Se?ra Villa the whole chair thing.
That was a riot.
about the prom.
I saw you kiss Tess.
It's okay.
You're moving on.
No. We've discussed this,
you're moving on and I am moving on.
That's the decision we've made.
I just wanted you to know
that I saw you and that I'm okay with it. Okay?
Thank you very much for
the macaroni and cheese and um,
thank you for listening.
Just always be my friend.
Will you do that Max?
You know I will.
If this is about
what I said to Liz the other night.
I don't have any apologies to make.
How can you say that to us?
How can you even think.
This is difficult for everybody Max.
Alex Whitman did not kill himself, okay?
It didn't happen.
And you'd better not let Hanson
or anyone else put that in some file.
Here.
What's that?
It's everything we've discovered
about Alex Whitman over the last two days.
Read it Max.
So. Frisco, huh?
Yeah.
I think it's great.
What about the chicken?
Maria hates barbecue,
there's gotta be something here she'll eat.
Hi Mr. Whitman.
Liz, how are you?
Okay.
I uh--I hope you know
how much Alex loved you and Maria.
He just thought the world of you two.
Thank you.
Can I ask you a favor?
Anything.
Can I go sit in his room for a while?
I uh--I haven't been able to
bring myself to go in there just yet.
But--sure, go ahead.
Thank you.
I really need your help.
I know something's wrong.
I know what they're saying about you isn't true.
But I don't know where to go from here.
I really wish you could--give me some advice,
point my in a direction.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep
and miles to go before I sleep.
Thank You
Come on.
What's up?
I don't know
but Liz says it's urgent.
Everything I'm about to say is gonna come
as a shock to most of you but something happened.
you need to know what's going on.
Valenti and Hanson are about to
declare Alex's death a suicide.
What?
No. It's not true, okay?
It's not true.
How could they say that?
Of course it's not true.
I--I'm not so sure.
What? Max, come on.
We talked about this, you said--
I know but--I've read the file.
Valenti showed--
Oh Valenti showed you the file.
I don't want to believe it either.
I saw.
The evidence is pretty convincing.
- I can't believe it's suicide.
- It wasn't a suicide and I can prove it.
Five minutes ago I found these here,
in Alex' room.
They are concert tickets to Beth Orton.
Alex bought them on the day
he died probably for him and Isabel.
The concert is tonight.
Don't you get it?
You don't buy concert tickets
on the day you kill yourself.
You don't make plans for the future
when you are not planning on having a future.
She's right, there's no way.
There's no way.
I don't know. You know, a couple of concert tickets?
It's pretty slim evidence.
You don't know
what the hell you're talking about, okay?
Hey. Hey. There's nothing to gain
with this argument one way or another.
We know Alex. We know what kind of guy he is,
and we know he'd never kill himself.
Exactly.
So, as far as all the people
in this room are concerned,
it was an accident nothin' more.
It wasn't an accident
He was murdered.
Murdered?
Would you listen to yourself?
Who could possibly want to murder Alex?
I don't know yet.
Maybe somebody with a grudge against him
or maybe an alien.
That is not what happened here.
Would you just think about it for a minute?
If there is anything any of us
should have learned over the last year
and a half it's that nothing
is ever what it seems.
What is that? That's not evidence!
That's not proof we had anything to do with this!
Keep your voices down! For gods sake!
You cannot deny the fact that a key member of this conspiracy
just died under very suspicious circumstances.
I'm with Liz.
There's somethin' not right about this.
It was a traffic accident.
There's nothing otherworldly about that.
What possible reason
would an alien have to kill Alex?
Isabel for one.
We know that there's an alien named Khivar
who wants to bring Isabel back to your world.
No!
If Khivar discovered you and Alex.
No! No! You're just making this up!
You don't know what the hell you're talking about!
You don't know anything about Khivar or our world--
You don't want to think that Alex was killed by an alien
because that would mean
you are responsible.
Let's go.
I know what I know. And I am gonna to find out the truth.
I owe that to my friend.
Well.
I guess it's us versus them.
I thought about what you said.
You know, if I remembered anything?
I got his credit card receipt.
The company kicked it back 'cause of the way he signed it.
11100100100111011001
Does that mean anything to you?
It means, I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep.

Take Liz for example. She totally thought that prom
would be the perfect opportunity to rekindle things with Max.
No.
And Kyle.
He thought he'd finally get closer to Tess,
as in a lot closer,
until he
that his feelings for Tess
were a little more sibling than sex kitten.
But, there is a silver lining

And I think with a little help from Liz and myself

Yeah, it was a great night for me too.
Yeah, so what are you doing tonight?
Tonight?
I can't
Why?
I have a..d'aa.
I'm studying..
Alex.
an "A"is the best you can get.
Yeah I know,
but I--I got a--I got a monstrous final in a--
Robert Frost?
English--Eng--English.
Yeah, killer final.
Mr. Brazzi's really puttin' the screws to us.
Well, if you'd rather stay in studying
and not come out and play with me.
I--I don't want to, but I have to.
Okay. Well if you change your mind,
I'll be at the Crashdown,
probably until closing so.
Okay, well uh, I'll see you later.
Okay.
I'm so proud of you.
This blows.
Well at least you have the upper hand.
Yeah, you've got her chasing you.

Fatalities?

He'll need to use his power to open the doors.
He'll take a deep breath,
put his hand on his chest,
and bring him back to life.
And Alex will sit up suddenly, and Max will jump back,
and the whole wagon will shake a little--
The whole--The whole wagon will shake and--

Not as close as Liz. How is she?
She's not doing so--so good.
I--I think she's in denial.
Can I talk to her?
She's not here.
She--She went out.
I don't even know where she went.
She just needs a little bit of space right now.
Right. Umm...Can--can you just
tell her that I called? Thanks.
Last thing that I remember's
Hitting my brakes
and trying to turn away but--...
You turned to the left or the right?
Right.
He was coming at me from the left.
Skid marks say he turned to the right.
'Course they do. Why would I lie about.
How many beers
did you have at the Bison Pub?
I had one beer.
Three hours before I got on the road.
You said you were going 65.
I said I was going 55
and I don't like the sound of these questions.
Just doing our job.
That's bull
You tryin' to pin this on me....
When the truth is that
boy deliberately swerved into my lane
for no reason.
Nobody knew where he was going.
But he wanted to stay home.
If I hadn't called him
and put the idea in his head
He.He would have never gotten in the car.
He would have never gotten in the car!
Isabel it was an accident. Honey, it's tragic
and it's painful and it's something
that none of us are ever gonna forget.
But it's not your fault.
I can't stop it.
I can't stop thinking
that the people I love and care about,
they end up hurt or dead.
Oh honey.
I wish--I wish I had some kind of special powers
or something to make all of this go away for you.
Special powers don't help.
I have to get out of here.
Where do you want to go?
Mom, there's something I need to tell you.
Liz.
Hey. How you doing?
Not good.
Just try and get through the day, okay?
Just keep moving forward. Keep breathing.
How 'bout you. How are you?
I'm fine.
Come on, it's me.
You don't have to put up a front.
Look at this.
- Isn't that?...
- Yeah. It's Alex and Leanna in Sweden.
I found it in the wreck.
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
It's all right. Hey. It's all right.
Oh my god
Look. Look at the way it's been cut up. Someone cut off..
Are you sick?
I can't believe you went there!
Maria! This means something.
Why is Alex's head missing?
Stop it! Stop it!
Shhh. It's okay.
It means something.
I don't know.
He just got really depressed.
It was weird you know.
I mean I deliver a lot of cold food.
and usually people just get pissed off.
they don't act like it's the end of the world.
Is that how he acted,
like it was the end of the world?
Yeah.
He say anything specific you remember?
"Life was wrong. Everything about life is a lie.
Why does it have to be that way?"
Stuff like that.
Okay. Thanks Jerry.
Talked to his teachers.
None of them saw anything unusual
in his behavior at the time
but looking back they think
they saw some warning signs:
Moody, sometimes confident, even cocky.
Other times sullen, quiet, and focused.
Sounds like every teenager I ever met.
Listen, I know you
don't want to talk about this theory.
Don't go there.
Jim, there's a pattern here.
No, there's not.
I hope you're right.
It was so much--blood.
I wasn't prepared for that.
You had to try.
I didn't want to--touch him.
And then his skin was so cold.
School's brought in the official grief counselor.
She's got all our names. So, be on the look out.
Do you see these people?
Who are they? They don't even know Alex.
They weren't even his friend.
And they're sitting there praying
and crying and putting on this show
as if they gave a damn about Alex
while he was alive!
God, it makes me so angry!
Hey.
Mr. Whitman called the house this morning
and asked if me and you and you would be
be pallbearers tomorrow.
Right.
Sure.
So, finally, I left.
He was losing it
and you could totally see it in his eyes.
I mean,
he was on his way out of this life.
Is that a fact?
I'd like to ask you some questions
if you have the time.
I have something to tell all of you.
I know this is a bad time,
but umm... I'm graduating early.
I'm leaving in June to start college
in the fall in San Francisco.
When did all this happen?
I've been thinking about it for a while.
I talked to Mom this morning
and she's fine with it so...
Look, Isabel, this isn't the time
to be making snap judgments about things.
This is my life Max.
No one is disputing that.
Do we have to talk about this now?
Maria's right...
This isn't a decision that we have to make today.
This isn't a decision we have to make at all.
It's my decision.
I made it. I'm leaving Roswell.
And then what did he say?
I don't know. I mean,
"Life isn't right." Or "Life is wrong."
Something like that.
Yeah and then what did you say?
Well, I said, "Whatever dude."
"Whatever dude?"
That's your reaction to a man who is devastated
and on his way out of this life?
Isn't that how you describe him to your fan cub?
Look, I wasn't--I mean, uh
I'm sorry I sounded like that.
Yeah.
If you remember anything else--anything.
My parents own the Crashdown,
you can usually find me there.
I know that this photo means something.
I know it.
- Yeah.
- What?
Well I don't really know.
What!
Don't give me that!
You are on to something.
This is a clue isn't it?
Maybe. We're a long way.
You--You have a theory about this don't you.
Liz...
this has been a very very difficult day
and I think maybe the best thing for you now--
No!
--would be to go on home and try to get some.
No, I do not need another grief counselor.
I want some answers!
I know
what happened to Alex was not an accident.
I know it with very fiber in my being
and I am gonna find out the truth
so cut the crap
and tell me what the photo means to you.
OK...
You're not gonna like what I'm about to say.
Tell me.
It's beginning to look more and more likely
that Alex might have deliberately turned his car into the oncoming traffic.
Wha--Wh-Why would he do that?
The last couple of weeks,
people have noticed changes in Alex's behavior.
Moodiness, lack of focus,
his grades started to slip.
Oh please.
Liz, I interviewed the truck driver.
I--I went to the accident scene;
I saw the school reports.
You are saying that
Alex killed himself over bad grades.
We may never know exactly why Alex did what he did.
But--Look at this.
This is part of the puzzle isn't it.
I mean look at it!
He deliberately defaced his own image.
The--believe me--it
--it tears me up to even say this--
Thank you for your time.
I don't want to be alone. Can--
Can I stay here tonight?
Sure
That's crazy.
Yes. I know. That is what I said.
Alex would never do something like that.
No! Of course not! It's ridiculous.
And, you know what's gonna happen. ...
Hanson is gonna go
and he's going to put that report and
it's going to be in the newspaper for
every single person to read. All of his friends, his family.
No
"Alex Whitman's death was
declared a suicide yesterday by the Roswell Sheriff's Department!"
We won't let that happen. I'll--I'll talk to Valenti.
He's just jumping to conclusions.
Just the fact that his parents
have to go through this--this nightmare.
They do not need to think that their son--
Liz, I'll handle it.
Thank you.
Hungry?
That's embarrassing.
No, that's all right.
When's the last time you ate?
yesterday... I think.
How does frozen macaroni and cheese sound?
Oh, no more tea. Thank you Michael.
It's not tea, hot buttered rum.
Help you sleep.
My foster dad taught me to
mix drinks before I could ride a bike.
He called it job training.
If all else fails I could always tend bar.
Oh what a charming man.
Uh, is Maria still asleep?
Yeah,
she keeps kickin' off the covers though.
she always does do that.
You know, I think this is the most time
you've ever spent in my house.
Yeah, I--I could leave if you want.
Just, it's nice to be around people.
No, no. That's not what I mean at all.
Uh, what I'm trying to say is that
you've really been great for my family.
And it's a wonderful thing
to see my daughter loved.
And I would like to see a lot more of that.
And as far as I'm concerned
you'll always be welcome in this house.
Thank you.
Welcome on the couch.
Right.
You're not really here. Are you?
No.
You're talking in your sleep.
God I wish
I could really talk to you Alex.
I'm the next best thing.
What do you want to say?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Me too.
I never should have called you.
I called you. Remember?
I never should've brought you into any of this.
Any of what?
Me. My life.
You think being with you
had something to do with what happened?
Yes, I do. I don't know how
but--
-God, If you hadn't been involved with me.
if I was really here,
I'd tell you you're full of crap.
You know that.
Yeah,
but it wouldn't make me feel any better.
I better go.
Why?
I'm not making things any better for you.
No, please. Please don't go.
I'm already gone. This is just a dream
you'll eventually wake up from.
Will I see you again?
That depends on you. But I have a feeling,
I wouldn't want me to be here.
Bye Isabel.
I love you Alex.
I think we both know.
I loved you too.
Remember the time
he electrified Mr. Hoffman's desk?
Yeah. You know,
he almost got suspended for that.
Never happen.
The teacher's loved him.
That guy could get away with anything.
At the prom,
I overheard Mr. Hoffman
telling Se?ra Villa the whole chair thing.
That was a riot.
about the prom.
I saw you kiss Tess.
It's okay.
You're moving on.
No. We've discussed this,
you're moving on and I am moving on.
That's the decision we've made.
I just wanted you to know
that I saw you and that I'm okay with it. Okay?
Thank you very much for
the macaroni and cheese and um,
thank you for listening.
Just always be my friend.
Will you do that Max?
You know I will.
If this is about
what I said to Liz the other night.
I don't have any apologies to make.
How can you say that to us?
How can you even think.
This is difficult for everybody Max.
Alex Whitman did not kill himself, okay?
It didn't happen.
And you'd better not let Hanson
or anyone else put that in some file.
Here.
What's that?
It's everything we've discovered
about Alex Whitman over the last two days.
Read it Max.
So. Frisco, huh?
Yeah.
I think it's great.
What about the chicken?
Maria hates barbecue,
there's gotta be something here she'll eat.
Hi Mr. Whitman.
Liz, how are you?
Okay.
I uh--I hope you know
how much Alex loved you and Maria.
He just thought the world of you two.
Thank you.
Can I ask you a favor?
Anything.
Can I go sit in his room for a while?
I uh--I haven't been able to
bring myself to go in there just yet.
But--sure, go ahead.
Thank you.
I really need your help.
I know something's wrong.
I know what they're saying about you isn't true.
But I don't know where to go from here.
I really wish you could--give me some advice,
point my in a direction.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep
and miles to go before I sleep.
Thank You
Come on.
What's up?
I don't know
but Liz says it's urgent.
Everything I'm about to say is gonna come
as a shock to most of you but something happened.
you need to know what's going on.
Valenti and Hanson are about to
declare Alex's death a suicide.
What?
No. It's not true, okay?
It's not true.
How could they say that?
Of course it's not true.
I--I'm not so sure.
What? Max, come on.
We talked about this, you said--
I know but--I've read the file.
Valenti showed--
Oh Valenti showed you the file.
I don't want to believe it either.
I saw.
The evidence is pretty convincing.
- I can't believe it's suicide.
- It wasn't a suicide and I can prove it.
Five minutes ago I found these here,
in Alex' room.
They are concert tickets to Beth Orton.
Alex bought them on the day
he died probably for him and Isabel.
The concert is tonight.
Don't you get it?
You don't buy concert tickets
on the day you kill yourself.
You don't make plans for the future
when you are not planning on having a future.
She's right, there's no way.
There's no way.
I don't know. You know, a couple of concert tickets?
It's pretty slim evidence.
You don't know
what the hell you're talking about, okay?
Hey. Hey. There's nothing to gain
with this argument one way or another.
We know Alex. We know what kind of guy he is,
and we know he'd never kill himself.
Exactly.
So, as far as all the people
in this room are concerned,
it was an accident nothin' more.
It wasn't an accident
He was murdered.
Murdered?
Would you listen to yourself?
Who could possibly want to murder Alex?
I don't know yet.
Maybe somebody with a grudge against him
or maybe an alien.
That is not what happened here.
Would you just think about it for a minute?
If there is anything any of us
should have learned over the last year
and a half it's that nothing
is ever what it seems.
What is that? That's not evidence!
That's not proof we had anything to do with this!
Keep your voices down! For gods sake!
You cannot deny the fact that a key member of this conspiracy
just died under very suspicious circumstances.
I'm with Liz.
There's somethin' not right about this.
It was a traffic accident.
There's nothing otherworldly about that.
What possible reason
would an alien have to kill Alex?
Isabel for one.
We know that there's an alien named Khivar
who wants to bring Isabel back to your world.
No!
If Khivar discovered you and Alex.
No! No! You're just making this up!
You don't know what the hell you're talking about!
You don't know anything about Khivar or our world--
You don't want to think that Alex was killed by an alien
because that would mean
you are responsible.
Let's go.
I know what I know. And I am gonna to find out the truth.
I owe that to my friend.
Well.
I guess it's us versus them.
I thought about what you said.
You know, if I remembered anything?
I got his credit card receipt.
The company kicked it back 'cause of the way he signed it.
11100100100111011001
Does that mean anything to you?
It means, I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep.
