Roswell, New Mexico (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot - full transcript
- LIZ: Every small town has a story,
- _
but my hometown has a legend.
Roswell was a sleepy cowboy
settlement in postwar America,
full of farmers and military men,
until, one day, something
extraordinary happened.
Or so the legend goes.
(RUMBLING, WHOOSHING)
(WIND WHISTLING)
(MEN MURMURING)
Ever since, UFO enthusiasts
have flooded in,
searching for some cosmic phenomenon
to prove we're not all
alone in the universe.
_
As a kid, I was searching, too,
- in my own way,
- _
until I realized that Roswell
is just a small town,
full of small tragedies
and small people,
people I never plan to see again.
Go further.

So you let the Joneses

but you're gonna stop
the Latina and tell me
- this is just a DWI checkpoint?
- Ma'am...
I know Roswell
is well past the 100-mile
border zone, vato.
Ma'am...
So I will have the ACLU
so far up your ass,
you'll be reciting the Tenth Circuit
Venzor-Castillo verdict in your sleep.
Liz.
Max.
It's been a long time.
MAX: Ten years.
You're still in Roswell.
And you're finally back.
VALENTI: Problem, Evans?
Elizabeth Ortecho.
Sheriff Valenti. Hi.
Well, Kyle will be thrilled
you're here for the reunion.
Don't think anyone expected
you to come back for it.
Reunion? This weekend?
(SIGHS) Are you gonna
breathalyze me, or...?
Nah. You were always a good girl, Liz.

us safe during the crash.
The crash?
1947 UFO crash.
What are you, Max?
You already know the legend.
But 50 years after the incident,
in 1997, I woke up in here,
in one of those.
Michael and Isobel, too.
We had no memories or
rudimentary skills,
just each other.
A long-haul trucker found us,
naked, mute, wandering the desert.
Our parents adopted
Isobel and me, but...
Michael was harder to place.
He, uh, he ended up in foster care.
And we just assimilated.
Swore to keep our secret.
You're telling me you're an alien?
I know it sounds crazy.
I... spent the last two days
thinking that I needed to
have myself committed.

better than that.

Of course you stole my cells.
Magical healing does

that scares us the most.
We've always been terrified
that if anyone found out,
they'd put us in a lab
and, I don't know...
cut us up, experiment.
Nothing has ever mattered
to me more than protecting
Michael and Isobel from that, until...

Max... why me?
Do you remember the first time we met?
I... I feel like I've
just always known you.
I remember it.
I can show you, but...
I need to touch you.
Okay.
Do, um... do whatever you want.

No, the handprint is a
psychic bond between us.
That's how I can show you my memories.
Right now, what you're feeling is...
an echo of what I feel for you.
It'll wear off, just
like the handprint will.
So... I can't.
When will the handprint fade?
Couple days, maybe a week.
Fine.
I'll kiss you then.

The 1947 crash.
That's real.
And the unidentified
flying object was a ship,
carrying an army of... monsters.
Most of them died that night,
but at least one survived, and
if you saw a handprint...
that means the violence isn't over.
