Previously, on
"Roswell, New Mexico"...

I am... only going
to administer a microdose.

So parts of your brain

that have gone dark
are lighting up again.

If someone took you,

then we need to find them.

We're doing
the transplant tonight.

I made a promise

that if you came back and you
were actually gonna hurt people,

that I would kill you.

You shouldn't have
brought me back.



You know, I was willing
to let you go, Max,

until I realized you were
sacrificing yourself, again.

Don't come any closer,
I'm warning you.

Fight me. Come on!

Think you're some
kind of killer?

Huh? Then do it!

Is this what you wanted?

You absorbed the
toxicity of Rosa's death,

and now you need
to expel it, Max.

Cause an earthquake.
Cause a blackout.

Come on, Max.
Hit me!

Isobel!

I told you I would rather die
than kill you.

But you wouldn't listen.



No. No...

Don't do it, Max.

Max, your heart...

Max.

Max!

No. Max.

His heart's like
a jackhammer.

He's gonna short out
the pacemaker.

Are you telekinetically
resetting his heart?

Isobel. I am so sorry.

Hey, brother.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Isobel!

Max.

I'm-I'm so sorry.

Have we met?

Season 02 Episode 06

Episode Title: "Sex and Candy"
Aired on: April 20, 2020

When I found
him in the mind-meld,

he was with his car.

A Bright Eyes song
was playing.

But it was warped.
It was like

the whole world
was broken.

I think he was holding
onto some pure memory of you

to comfort him
in his last moments.

Every time we reach
for a memory, we alter it.

Since his memories of me
are in tatters,

our only hope is to sew them
back together with this.

But you've been pumping
this bag of hamsters

full of antidote for three days.

Only took Iz
a few hours

- to recall her blackouts.
- Guys.

Can we not talk about me
like I'm not right here?

Whatever this crap is supposed
to do, it's not working.

And I am stressed out having
a stranger walking around

knowing all of
our secrets.

No offense.

Well, I, uh... My sister's
at home exploding lightbulbs

any time she has
a feeling, so...

I'm gonna go focus
on that. Okay.

Liz. I'm so sorry.

- I'm-I'm gonna talk to him.
- I think he's just...

I am just glad he's alive.
And happy.

Spanish song playing...

Hey.

What is all this? Mexican
market at the Pony.

So, this is me, subsidizing
my income, as always.

Try this chamango.
It's orgasmic.

- Mmm. Yum.
- Hey.

So, is this the secret mission
that you wanted my help with?

No. You and I
are going for a ride.

Hey.

Oh. What's your name?

That's Buffy.

- Thanks for grabbing her.
- Yeah.

Who's a good little Slayer, huh?

Ah, she's been
acting weird

- all day.
- It's the meteor shower.

They say it makes
animals act strange.

Humans, too.

Well, it is a good thing
I'm staying in tonight.

Roswell's weird enough
on a good day.

- You two know each other?
- Yeah.

Forrest is helping me organize

an open mic tomorrow
in the Pony.

Yeah, you should come by.
It's free drinks for performers.

Oh, I don't perform. So...

Okay, so I'll buy you
one of my free drinks.

Uh...

I'm sorry. Maybe I misread.

Uh...

Can I have my Slayer back,
please?

Yeah, sorry.

Sorry about that.

Yeah. I'll-I'll see you around.

Okay.

Hey, um,

I had a lizard named
Willow in high school.

So...

You didn't misread.

Oh.

You here for the surgical
separation of craniopagus twins?

Did you know, ever since
1947, twin births in Roswell

are higher than the
national average?

Hmm.

Maybe it's aliens.

I've been thinking
about what you asked me

the last time we spoke.

Are you gonna tell me
you have a crush on me?

Definitely not.

You're just, um,

you're just my favorite person
I can't stand.

Wait, uh, where you going?

So, where are we going?

Well, these are the
boots my mom was wearing

when Jenna Cameron found her.

I've never seen them before.

And since the sheriff
refused to follow up, I did

- a little sleuthing.
- Mmm.

Turns out, they're very rare.

The only person that makes
them is this weird cobbler

who lives about an hour
outside of town.

So I'm hoping he has a record
of who he sold them to.

Well, great. I've always wanted
to go out to the desert

and meet some strange guy
from the Internet.

Le cambio una bolsa de
chapulines para mi papá...

Ah, sí... - for the free fries next
time you come to the Crashdown.

I'm trying to eat clean.

Uh, tiene carne seca sin...

uh, como se dice,
preservativos?

- Quiere carne a sin preservativos?
- Sí.

Lo siento.
Uh, no lo entiendo.

Él quiere decir conservantes.

Preservativos
are condoms.

Well, that's exactly
what I meant to say.

I don't want condoms

on my jerky.

Uh, gracias.

Estoy embarazado.

Embarazado means
you're pregnant.

Maybe I am.
You're not my gynecologist.

My hands have been inside
of your chest cavity, Max.

Your gynecologist can suck it.

Liz.

There's a meteor shower tonight.

- I was thinking maybe we...
- I don't, I don't think

that's a good idea.

You don't really know me.

Right. Uh, uh, people
who don't know each other

go on dates, like,
all the time, so...

You saved my life, right?

And now here I am,
trying to buy a snack,

and you saved me yet again.

I get off at 7:00.

- No.
- Who are you texting?

- Huh?
- We're all here.

Well, since I woke up
from the dead,

everyone's been messaging me.

And Cameron's the only one
that hasn't replied,

which is not like her.

Well, you ghosted her.

And then you
literally ghosted her.

Excuse me. Maybe you
should just keep it that way.

Trust me.

Into the dressing room, Romeo.
Let's see it.

Go.

Does he seem different to you?

Never have I ever

cheated on someone I was
in a relationship with.

Uh, never have I ever been
in a real relationship

in the first place.

What about, uh,
Kellie Sommer-something?

No. That was called friction.

Every time I was with a woman,
I was just trying to disappear.

I mean, except for once.
Uh, sophomore year.

After Battle of the Bands.

Seven minutes in heaven,
if heaven

was Haley Moore's hall closet.

I can't believe you remember.

- That you were my first kiss?
- What...?

And my first boob graze.

I was your first?

When we were kids,

I always thought
I'd marry you one day.

When you came out,
I had to make a whole new plan.

Hey, now, I did, too.

Come on.

You don't wish
you were straight.

I mean...

I know
what I'm supposed to say.

I just...

I wish that I felt it.

No one taught me to love myself.
Actually, just the opposite.

You know, kissing you in
that closet was the first time

in my life that I...
that I enjoyed touching someone.

And I just thought that

I could be happy and not be
afraid that if I loved anything,

my dad would destroy it.

So, no.

I mean, I don't
wish I was straight,

I just think that if I was,

I wouldn't have
all of the bad memories.

You wouldn't have
the happy ones, either.

Ready to go?

One quick
experiment first.

Psychogenic amnesia limits
retrieval of stored memories,

but if we light up
your limbic system

and gustatory cortex
with some familiar signals...

Your milkshake might bring
all my memories to the yard?

- It's worth a shot.
- All right.

Not a big fan of mint.

You've been ordering
Little Green Man

since we were 14.

You know what?

It's, um, sometimes when people
wake up from comas,

they have different
personalities,

different tastes even, so maybe
that's what's happening here.

Yeah.

Well, shall we get out of here

before, uh, I turn into
your science project?

I don't know.
What'd you have in mind?

You can answer that.

- No. That's okay.
- Hey, why didn't you bring him along?

The guy has actual superpowers.

I have one good leg.

Michael is destructive.

He starts fights, lies.

He lied to protect his family,
from my family.

No. I dated a guy like that.
His name was Chad.

He shouldered the burden
of a murder he didn't commit

for ten years
so that Isobel didn't have to.

And he pushed you away
because he...

was trying to protect you.

And, honestly,
maybe he was right.

I mean, he has a lot of baggage,

but he's not a Chad.

What happens when I stop
being mad at Michael Guerin?

To you and me.

Nothing.

I would never stop loving you.

Check out that sky.

It's like it goes on forever.

Can't believe
you've never ridden.

Oh, indeed.

Father and
dear Mumsy were devastated

when I forsook
the equestrian arts

in favor of skiing in Aspen
and croquet at the club.

- I went to ranch camp one summer.
- Mm-hmm.

Pretty sure I dislocated
my shoulder

trying to read Lord of the Rings
while we were...

I've told you this story before,
haven't I?

I'm sorry. I'm just
trying to one-up

whatever first date
we already had.

We never really
had one.

I mean, there was a gala,
but... my dad was there,

and we caught
a murderer,

so I really don't feel
like that counts.

It's a first date
for both of us.

In here, we look for any excuse

- You're new?
- Yup.

Just got out of jail.

Looking to get into the, uh,
good kind of trouble.

Okay.
What's your poison?

I'm exploring my options,
so why don't you surprise me?

All right.

Well,
I would ask Siri,

but I think she left us
two scarecrows ago.

It's not too late
to turn around.

You should think
about doing that.

Oh, come on.

You don't happen
to have a spare, do you?

That was the spare.

Good thing I brought
an armed solider with me.

I'd be having a panic attack
right now.

I don't carry my gun
when I'm off duty.

You mind telling me

what you're doing
on my property?

Uh, we're, um...

I'm looking for the bootmaker.

Well, you found him.

My name's Travis.

Why don't you guys
come on in?

Mm-kay. Let's do it.
Ask the tough questions.

All right?
Nothing about music or weather.

I have a lot
of catching up to do.

But before we do that,

truth serum.

- Whiskey, Liz.
- Oh.

Game.

Okay.

All right.

So what is the worst thing
you've ever done?

Do we have
to start there?

I believe in ripping
the Band-Aid off.

Took you 20 years
to tell me you loved me.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

I'm-I'm evolving.

I was engaged.

Feels like a lifetime ago,
but it was just last year.

I left him without
saying goodbye.

I'm guessing you've probably
told me this story before.

Actually, we've never
talked about this.

Diego

is a bioengineer, too.

I was working on this
fascinating study in Denver, and

I would come home and-and
I would talk about work,

and-and he got it,

and he had ideas
on how to improve it,

and he understood
my weird science lingo,

and he pushed me
to be better.

And then the funding
got cut,

and our study was over,

and I realized I...

loved the work more.

And I couldn't
explain that to him,

so I packed up my things
in the middle of the night

and I hit the road
and I ch-changed my phone,

and blocked him on Facebook.
Where's the whiskey?

Are you running
for the hills yet?

Well, only so we don't
miss this meteor shower.

You coming with me?

I pumped
this milk fresh today.

Still warm.

Nice ring. Does that keep you
from burning up in the daylight?

Milk's still warm.

Ugh, cell reception
sucks out here.

I was trying to leave
Guerin a voicemail.

Figured the least he can do

is drive out here
and give us a tow.

Sorry I can't help you out
with that car stuff.

Not much of a
machinery guy.

I prefer something
with a, uh, gentle give.

Speaking of,

this is from my
best girl, Jennifer.

I milked her
for the last time today.

I'm, um, I'm lactose intolerant.

Listen, we're so sorry to bother
you out here, but I really...

No. You're no bother.

Heck, you're-you're the best
thing I've seen in a long time.

Okay.
I think it's, I think it's time.

I was hoping you might
remember who purchased

that pair of turquoise boots.

Mm, I'm sorry.
Ah, so many customers

and all their
ugly faces get all

sewn up and stitched together
in my mind. Yeah.

Have you ever seen this woman?

Yeah, that's the woman
that bought them boots.

When?

- Was she with anyone?
- While back.

Nice lady. She paid cash.

My mother doesn't have
that kind of cash.

What, you calling me a liar?

Ooh. Oh.

Meteor shower's got my girls
singing a bit off-key tonight.

Jennifer, she likes
a good lullaby.

Excuse me.

Okay, this guy's gonna turn us
into skin suits.

Is Michael on his way?

Look through these piles and see
if you can find a sales ledger.

I'm gonna where
I get at least one bar.

You want to split up? No, no.

This is why
I don't like horror films.

The gay guy always dies first.

Or second.

Okay, that's fair.

That look is fair.

♪ Don't leave, don't cry... ♪

Are you lost,
or really, really found?

I just haven't felt like hanging
out at the Wild Pony lately.

And you're avoiding Liz.

Makes sense,
now that Max is back.

Look, sometimes it's nice
to just hang out with people

- you didn't go to high school with.
- True.

So how come you're here?

I guess, after Noah, the idea
of a bar full of straight dudes

on the hunt kind of wigs me out,

so I figure here

I'll feel a little bit
less like prey.

All right.

Meteor Shower Shooters
on the house.

Oh! Okay.

- To feeling alienated.
- Yes.

What's the worst thing
you've ever done?

Oh, well, I wish
my story involved

blocking someone on Facebook.

I, uh... I killed a man once,

on a camping trip.

This drifter came
out of nowhere,

attacked Isobel.

I wasn't even thinking.
I killed him.

With this.

God, I arrest people
who kill people.

Most of them usually
regret what they did.

You know, you can tell that
they're just forever broken.

It's like a piece of them dies

with their victims.

So when, uh...

I could feel
that darkness that...

like I had to kill, I...

I wa... I wanted Isobel
to let me die.

Because I couldn't risk...

hurting even one
innocent person,

'cause life just wouldn't be
worth living.

Sorry, sorry,
that was way too much.

No, no, it just, it just...
It just hit me

why you're so happy
and idealistic,

and I-I feel like an idiot.

It's...

You are that way because
you don't remember me.

It's a clean slate.

It's like when you got out
of the pods with whatever

memories you had erased.

It's probably for your own good.

Last I heard, you were
the love of my life.

You-Your cohorts, they
left out some details.

'Cause if you had
your memories, I...

I'm positive the worst thing
that's ever happened to you

is connected to me.

And I can't bear the weight

of making you
remember that again.

You're a combat veteran.

And as a result,
I don't really love

being snuck up on.

Look, my friend's mom was taken,

and she showed up
three weeks later wearing

a pair of your apparently
very rare boots.

So we're just looking
for answers.

Thought I'd make
this pit stop of yours

a bit romantical.

Where'd your lady go, anyway?

She's on the phone
with a friend.

I'm gonna go check on her,
actually.

Stop.

You haven't touched
your milk.

Alex?

He attacked me.

Stay away from me.

I had to defend myself.

You stay back.

War really messes
with a man's mind.

Gets it all twisted up.

Supposed to be epic.

I don't like meteors.

They remind me of the night

my entire family burst
into flames

upon entering
the Earth's atmosphere.

Oh, God, I am so sorry.

on my knees I would pray
to break free from this cage.

But bargaining for keys,
you forget hidden fees.

And wishing
for what you're missing

ain't the same
as living the dream.

And now I'm fighting to stay
on this side of the cage.

Even though I know
part of me wishes I'd stayed.

Ain't no prophet or rebel
or savior or devil

could have predicted,
fought, cheated or leveled.

A life with potential
that's squandered,

a comfortable cell
is a question I ponder.

Am I a free man
or a prisoner wanderer?

Oh.
Well, well, well.

Look what the
cat dragged in.

I'm gonna need
my spare key back.

Yeah, that's not happening.

I have gone months without
being able to see you,

being able to talk to you,
seek your brotherly wisdom.

Plus, I brought
coffees.

Of course, they're cold,
because it's, like, 2:00 p.m.

Which means you had a night.

So tell me about it.

- There is nothing to tell.
- Okay.

I'll go first.
Here's a hint.

Ta-da.

O-Okay. I'll go first.

I, uh...

I met a girl.

And it turns out we went
to high school together.

That's cute, but not as fun.
I went to a gay bar.

- Nope.
- And guess who I saw there?

Kyle Valenti.

- Extra nope.
- So, at first I'm like,

obviously, I'm gonna take
that mustang for a ride.

Max.

I'm not leaving.

I haven't even told you about
the lesbian part yet.
