Roswell (1999–2002): Season 2, Episode 21 - The Departure - full transcript

There I said it, I don't like it,
but I said it.

Anyway,

turns out Liz was right --

Alex was murdered by an alien

and the killer is still out there....

Let me tell you what's really going on.

Tess is pregnant.

Maxwell's the dad.

Here's the problem:
the baby can't survive on earth,

so we need to find a way home.

Which fortunately, I think I did.



This is a key.

When we insert it the Granilith will transport us...

home.

It will take 24 hours for it to prepare itself.

When it's ready,
we have to be on board or we don't go.

The granilith is capable of one mission,
only one.

When we use it,
it's gone.

It's our only way home.

Is everyone ready?

This is happening too fast.

We have no choice, Iz.

What about Leanna?

She's still out there, how can we leave?

I mean, she's already killed Alex,
what's to stop her from killing Liz



Kyle or Valenti or Maria.

I'll take care of Leanna

Max...

Everyone say your goodbyes.

{C:$aaccff}Roswell [2x21] The Departure

Oh Sean, you really gotta lose that earring.
It's just so like you're obviously trying.

You're retarded, you know that?

I think it looks cute!

Okay, lets hear from somebody
other than the lowly Parker. Kyle?

Isn't it like a gay thing anyway?

No, it is not a gay thing.
I've got to get out of this town, I really do.

Would you please stop that?
Please.

- What?
- That tapping thing, you've been doing it for like an hour!

I have?

Oh, Heckle and Jeckle
- I'm out of here.

Can we talk upstairs?

Please.

What?

Oh god, somebody's dead isn't...

No, no, no.
It's nothing like that.

Then what is it?

I have to see you tonight

You were right, about Alex.

He was killed by an alien.

I prayed that that wasn't the case
but it was.

We're responsible.

I never blamed you Max....

I never blamed any of you.

I know. I know you didn't.

I never wanted to lose you.

Me either

Liz...

I need all the information
that you have on Leanna.

Why?

I have to take care of the situation.

Take care of it how?

- Well, I'm coming with you.
- No.

I started this,
I'm gonna see this through to the end.

She killed Alex.

So, I got this call about digital cable

that you'll have a better picture,
you'll get more channels and it'll actually cost less.

Where's the Chinese mustard?

So, I, uh, ordered it honey
just to get the guy off the phone.

Izzy, do you have the Chinese mustard?

No dad.

Anyway, they installed it today.

Without the mustard,
my shrimp toast is basically inedible.

oh my god, I've got to tell you ...
some of these channels are awful.

I mean, do you realize
there are people teaching cooking classes naked?

There are people talking politics naked.

- Politics? Really?
- Yes! I mean, it's too much.

Mom, Dad...

- What sweetie?
- What is it honey?

You, know I think the Chinese mustard is in the fridge,
so I'll get it for you.

Ah, thank you

I don't think you need mustard,
it's spicy.

Thanks, that helps.

Listen, I just want you to know
if anything goes wrong...

if you're not able to go home,...

then you have a home here.

That your child has a home here too.

I mean, you're uh,
you're both part of this family now.

We'll figure out
what's wrong with the baby.

We'll find a way.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- I'll get some more warm water.
- Thanks....

Dad.

I just wanted to see
what that sounded like.

- How'd it sound?
- A little too weird.

Yeah...

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna send a bolt of energy to that heater.
It will explode.

A fire will start, fast.
Too fast for her to react.

What about the other dorm rooms,
the other students?

I can contain the fire with my powers long
enough for everyone else to get out of the building.

Max this isn't like you,
it's not planned out.

Liz, I have to do this now.

Max, this doesn't seem right

Go to the jeep,
you don't have to be a part of this.

It doesn't feel right.

Max!

- Who are you?
- C'mon, c'mon. Get out! Get out! Fire!

- Are you crazy?
- False alarm, I'm really sorry.

What the hell is going on?

That girls' not an alien,
she can't be the killer.

How can I leave now, ..

I haven't even lived yet.

I know how scary it is,
to have to leave ...

leave this world, but...

as it turns out, it's not so bad.

Your heart is your heart,
your soul is your soul.

That doesn't change.

Why should I listen to you?
You're not even real -

you're just a figment of my imagination.

Well then you should really listen

'cause it's coming from within you.

Go home.

Home to what?

I was a terrible person where I come from,
I betrayed my own family.

And what is home, anyway?
Half of me is from there, half of me is from here.

What makes one half
more important than the other?

Well that's
what you have to figure out.

Alex, that night,...

that night
at the prom when we danced- ...

it was one of the best nights of my life

and I never got to tell you that.

My lady?...

Max, why are you stopping?

Liz, there's something
I need to tell you...

It's about Tess and me...

You're together now, I know.

It's more than that....

Our relationship is... uh,

we spent the night together.

Liz... Tess is pregnant.

She's...

If I were an alien,
and I was having trouble threading a needle,

I would probably just use my powers.

But I probably wouldn't
need a needle to begin with,

I would probably just zap my blouse
the way that Isabel did it.....

They're human blood cells,
take a look.

If Leanna was innocent,
then who killed Alex?

I don't know.

You must have some idea
who it could've been!

Whoever did it
set up an innocent girl.

We have to start from the beginning.

We have to find him or her
before they kill someone else.

I can't do that.

I don't have time.

What are you talking about?

- Tess' child, our child--
- Yeah, well that's your personal life.

It can't survive here, he's dying...

We're leaving

Where?

We're going back...

Back?

When is this happening?

Tomorrow,...

just after dawn.

You can't leave
before this is resolved.

The way the granilith works...

- I don't really want to hear about how the damn -
- I know you don't -

- You can't just leave us with a killer out there.
- I don't have a choice!

Not anymore, but you did
and then you got Tess pregnant!

I know you're upset.

I-I trusted you, I gave you everything.

I jumped off bridges for you,
I broke laws for you,

I risked getting shot for you,
I trusted you!

And you go off--

God, with Tess--

God, I saved myself for you!

Saved yourself?..

You slept with Kyle!

Take me home.

Michael...

I know you like Italian, so...

And I know Scooby's your favorite.

What's going on?

Sit down.

What's this all about?

Sit down please.

There's a lot about you Maria.

There's a lot about you,

but I think
what means the most to me...

is that you're open.

You know I can look into your eyes
and I can see you.

I can see what you're thinking.
I can see what you're feeling.

How much I mean to you sometimes,
how much I piss you off sometimes.

But I can always see you.

- I see you too.
- No,

no, you don't see me.

You know when Max and Liz would kiss,
and Liz would get the flashes?

And when we would kiss you didn't.

I know how much that hurt you.

That doesn't matter to me anymore
Michael.

The reason
you didn't get the flashes ...

is because I didn't let you get them.

I didn't let you see me.

I've never let anyone see me before...

because..

there are things inside of me
that I don't want people to see.

There's things inside of me
that I'm not so proud of.

But I've thought about it, ...

and I want you to see me.

Take my hands.

Michael...

There's something I have to tell...

-Is this a good time?
- Yeah.

I heard about...

what's uh, what's going on
and um,...

congratulations.

Thank you.

Are you feeling okay?

Not so good,
but I'll be all right.

Well I just, wanted to say
that it's meant a lot to me...

- You okay?
- Oh yeah, yeah

It's nothing. Anyway, I just,...

I don't usually talk about this
but uh...

my mom left when I was six,
and

with you being here it's,
uh ...

felt... like family again.

That's all,
I don't want to get all weepy or anything.

Kyle

Kyle I feel the same way.

You are the royal four.
You are created from the genetic materials

of your alien predecessors
and human subjects...

-You are given human forms so you can...
- Kyle!

Kyle! You okay? Kyle

He was here. Alex was here.

What are you talking about?
Alex was in this room the day he died.

I can't believe I didn't even remember it,
I must have blocked it out.

- Kyle, he wasn't.
- No he was, Alex was here.

I have to tell my father.

- Kyle come here!
- Dad!

What were you saying?

That I'm really gonna miss you...

I always thought
when we graduated I would give you my ring.

It looks like I won't graduate,

so this is something from
where I'll be.

I can't believe that
this is what I have of you.

I can't believe that after everything...

Liz...

you never slept with Kyle, did you?

I wish,...

I wish
this all could have been different.

I wish that so much.

I guess that...

this is our goodbye.

Just tell me one thing
do you love her?

Not like I love you.

I think we just took a huge step
in human-alien relations.

I love you Michael.

I love you too...

but I have to leave.

Max, Isabel, and Tess and I
are going home.

Yeah, I know.
Like eventually, right?

We're leaving in a few hours.

We have to, I have no choice.

I don't want to leave you.

But we both knew
someday this would happen.

How much time do we have?

About an hour.

What if I said I wanted to stay?

When we came out of the pods
and we lost Michael,

it was just the two of us in the desert...

and I knew that I wasn't alone -...

that I had my sister...

To me, earth isn't home..

and whatever's out there isn't home

but you're my home.

Parker, it's 3 in the morning.

You all right?

No, I-I'm not. I'm not all right.

Max Evans broke my heart.

I'm sorry Sean,

I'm really sorry.

It's okay, it's okay...

Mom, Dad...

we know that in some way
you always knew we were different...

We want you to know
that we love you so much.

We're orphans,

we could have ended up anywhere, with anyone,
but we got you.

What is it they say?
There but for the grace of god.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry to leave you,
but we have to go.

I wish we didn't,
I wish I could just be your girl for ever,

but um...

You were great parents to us....

We will always, always love you.

Thank you,...

for everything.

And goodbye.

It's time

Let's go

Max...

are you sure you want to do this?

Yes.
Right

You kissed Liz!

Don't worry,
you won't remember her where we're going.

This is for our parents.

Will you give it to them
as soon as you're sure we're gone?

I will

Thank you.

Look, I need you to
protect Liz, Maria and Kyle.

With my life.

It's been an honor to know you Max.

It's been an honor.

Same here

I can't believe
this is happening.

I-I just can't even believe
it's possible!

Um, hmm.

Larek. He says his name is Larek,
and he's an alien.

Who is Larek?

My mom.

And he's taken over this whole place. ...

And he's holding us hostage here

with a gun....
He's pointing a gun at my daughter.

He threatened my daughter....

Mom, Mom what's wrong?

Maria

What are you doing up,
it's the middle of the night.

Liz?
What are you still doing here?

Would you stopping tapping you are doing for a while

I'll refuse to lie to them
what there've happend tonight

- It's Tess!

Tess mindwarped Alex!

What?

And Kyle!
Look, we've got to go now.

No, there's no way I've been mindwarped.
I'd remember it.

Kyle, that's the whole point of being mindwarped.
You don't know that it's happening to you.

So I'm supposed to look around the room
and what?

I don't know,
see if you have an unusual response to anything.

Liz...

Sorry, nothing.

Kyle...

Kyle, it could be really close, so

keep looking, keep trying.

You did this to me,

you sent me to Las Cruces.

Alex, Alex let me fix your mind,
you're not thinking straight.

You mindwarped me for two months
while I decoded that silly book for you and now

there's nothing left for you to mindwarp.
You destroyed my mind!

How could you do this to me?

Kyle...
get out!

- What's going on?
- Kyle go!

I have nothing,
I might as well be dead.

Hey just calm down!

He's right okay.
Calm down! Just calm down!

No, you can't mindwarp me.

No!

Your duffel's all loaded.

Thanks Kyle

Want me to come along?

No. Go in the house.
I'll take care of everything from here.

I carried his body...

She made me think it was luggage.
She killed him.

Tess killed Alex!

There's the mile marker.
Kyle, how much further?

It's just up ahead.

Wait it's right here.

Hey guys open up.
Michael! Isabel!

Max...

I can't go.

Ever since we came out of the pods,

I've been on some quest
to figure out where I belong.

I finally found home.

The weird thing is, it's here,

it's on earth.

You of all people.

Take care of yourself Michael.

I love you.

You're a great brother.

Take care of the others.

I would understand...

What you said before, ....

you're my home too

Well, whoever is coming,
we have to go.

Now.

Liz!

Tess killed Alex!

What?

Max stop!

It was Tess.
Tess killed Alex.

She mindwarped Alex
and sent him to Las Cruces to decode the book,

but he broke out of the mindwarp
and she killed him.

It's true, I was there,
I witnessed it.

Why didn't you ever say anything?

Because she mindwarped me!

You lived in my home,
you were like my sister!

How long?

About 3 minutes.

Everyone out.

- Max..
- Now!

Did you kill Alex?

I didn't want to.
I wish I hadn't, but I did.

Why?

Look Max, the-the clock's ticking,
we don't really have time...

TELL ME WHY!

He would have told you what I did
and I couldn't let that happen.

So you just, you just killed him?

I didn't mean to.

His brain was just so weakened by the mindwarp,

and... look,
none of this matters now.

Life matters Tess.

My life, your life, his...

What matters is getting home,

but you could never understand that could you?
I might have been able to teach you

but that stupid bitch had you wrapped around her...

Don't you ever call her that!

See!
Look how fast you run to her defense!

Why couldn't you ever feel that about me?

I'm your wife, Max!

I'm carrying your child!

This was all some kind of plan
to get pregnant and go home, wasn't it?

Home to what, Tess?

To Kivar? To our enemies?

They're not my enemies, Max.

You made a deal with them,

with Kivar...

No, Nacedo made a deal, 40 years ago.

What was the deal?

Tell me!

To return home with your child,...

and deliver the three of you to Kivar.

And what would happen to us
once you delivered us?

How did I ever fall in love
with someone like you?

How could I ever marry you?

You were different-- you were a king!

Now you're just a boy.

You kill me, Max,
you kill our son.

Go.

This isn't over, Tess

Max!

Quick, go. Let's go!

I've been really wrong about a lot.

But I was right about one thing:

To get you into my life, to be around you,..

to love you.

You opened the door and you came out
-- why?

You stayed for me.

What happens now, Max?

I have to save my son...
