Roswell, New Mexico

Previously on Roswell, New Mexico...

Diego, this is Max. Max, this is...

The ex-fiancé.

Why is Kyle locked out of your lab?

What kind of work are you doing?

Max, I love you. I am asking you

to trust me with this.

We found this on Michael's trailer.

This is Helena's handwriting. Helena and Flint

are working together.

I want to see Alex.

You will.

After you build me this bomb.

Hello?

Uh, he's out. Can I take a message?

Yeah, let me just get a pen.

Thanks, I'll let him know.

Hi. Didn't know you were stopping by.

Did you take a...

a whole vial of my antidote?

Uh, maybe.

Those are from when you were treating my amnesia.

Why are you looking through my desk?

I was looking for a pen.

Your bank called. They verified that deposit you asked about.

Max, a-a dose

that strong could be incredibly taxing.

Liz, look at me.

I'm fine. (CHUCKLES)

You're so stressed trying to keep me from getting stressed,

it's becoming very friggin' stressful.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry I wasn't honest about the lab.

I know any scientific inquiry

into alien physiology scares you...

but I was so scared about hurting your heart,

I-I didn't think about hurting you.

I want us to be a team.

I want us to make big choices together.

And I don't want

to go anywhere you're not gonna follow me.

That's all I want, too.

I love you.

And I'm always on your team.

Once we know our friends are safe, I'll, uh,

go to the lab with you and we can

box up all that stolen equipment

and return it and destroy the evidence.

It's... I-I guess we haven't heard anything from Michael?

Uh, nothing.

No, Isobel and I would know

if he was badly injured or in serious danger.

So I'm choosing not to freak out.

I spoke to Helena's boyfriend Dirk.

He said before she left, she was getting nonstop calls

from a 575 number.

The Sunset Mesa facility where Mimi DeLuca lives.

Wait, Mimi was calling your mom before the abductions? Uh...

- Does Maria know? - Cell service is out

because all the tin hat-wearing tourists

crowding the airwaves, but I left her very detailed messages.

Mimi was always obsessed with alien movies.

Maybe fiction and reality are blurring.

Your mom is working with Flint Manes,

who spent years making an alien-killing weapon

while at Caulfield.

What if your mom found out Rosa was killed by an alien?

She'd want revenge.

Then I have to find her and tell her

that an alien also resurrected Rosa.

Kyle e-mailed. He wants me to stop by the hospital.

I think he found something.

So don't call your mom till I get back, okay?

Okay. Okay.

You and Kyle are friends?

What?

After you two investigate,

you can grab a beer with Diego and compare notes.

Yeah, I don't think they drink beer. It's not keto.

Listen, why don't you meet Isobel and I at the Pony at 4:00

in case we can't reach you by phone.

We'll decide our next steps together.

Mom?

I need to talk to you right now.

We can go after this chapter.

I just got a message from Liz.

Mom... when you disappeared,

it was Helena Ortecho that took you.

: Oh. Helena.

You didn't have butyricol in your system when they found you.

You know Liz's mom.

You'd remember if you spent a month with her.

Mom... are you covering for Helena?

Everything is going to be fine.

I'm not fine. Alex and Michael are missing.

Helena is a lot of things,

but she won't hurt your friends. I'm sure.

No.

You're the blonde.

- The one that Rosa was afraid of. - Hi, Mimi.

No. Stay away from me.

Up-bup-bup-bup-bup.

I'm your cool Aunt Isobel.

Hopefully we can get to know

each other under better circumstances sometime.

Sure about this, DeLuca?

Desperate times call for desperate alien invasions.

What are you talking about?

Show me what happened

the night you disappeared, Mimi.

Oh, thank God you came.

Mimi. My beautiful friend.

I saw her. I saw her in a vision.

I didn't believe you. I had to see it with my own eyes.

You saw her?

You saw Rosa?

Is this my necklace?

I never thought we'd get to have

this stupid fight again.

This is a good thing, Helena.

Your daughter is alive.

She needs you.

When Jim Valenti was dying, I came home to say goodbye.

But he kept saying

Rosa could live again, that she was preserved.

But you didn't believe him.

No one ever believes us.

If Rosa is alive, it means Jim was telling the truth.

Which means everything else he said could be true,

like aliens are real

and Jesse Manes has a weapon that can kill them.

It means I have to go to war, Mimi.

First, you need some shoes.

Get out of my memories, Isobel.

God.

It's just like the time when I tried to get

into your head without consent.

She kicked me out.

What do you mean, get in my head?

- Hey. - Hey, sorry.

The line for the UFO Emporium shut down Main Street.

What do you... What you got?

I found this at Flint's,

but it's from a florist my dad used

when he was in the doghouse with my mom.

I finally guessed the password today. Rosa's birthday.

The only thing on it is a

It's a lot of romantic crap followed by details

for a storage unit he had up near Haystack Mountain.

Okay, let's go. I'll drive.

I-I can't.

I got patients to see.

You're on your own this time.

This entire process would be more efficient

if I could attach the release chamber

to the other side.

Ay, mi hijo, now is not the time to get creative.

Time is running out.

Follow the blueprints exactly.

You don't look like an obedient soldier.

Who'd she take to force you to do her bidding?

A friend.

It's complicated.

Why are you helping her?

Jenna's free.

Flint Manes has a sniper rifle on the roof

pointed at her bedroom window.

If I step out of line and something happens to...

You'll never forgive yourself.

I'll never forgive myself anyway.

Helena has me formulating a pathogen

that I invented when I was 17.

It's a poison that dismantles specific DNA.

If targeted, your death is quick and ugly.

A bleeding-from-every-orifice kind of deal.

Wow.

If only you'd been invited to more parties in high school.

I thought that I was saving people.

Okay, imagine a weapon that you could

drop into a populated city, and the only people targeted

would be al-Qaeda leaders and their direct descendants.

Okay? In the right hands, my weapon could prevent

innocent civilian casualties and save our troops.

I'm guessing these are not the right hands?

Why am I building the bomb when the inventor

is under Helena's thumb?

I do chemicals, not mechanics.

And technically it's not a bomb.

It's a catalytic toxin atomizer that was developed

in a top secret operation involving weapons specialists

from both the Army and the Air Force.

Project Shepherd.

One more question for you, Charlie.

Whose DNA is that poison you're making gonna target?

Judging from conversations I've heard

between Helena and Flint, it's alien DNA.

Like, literal aliens.

He's only supposed to take a drop when he has amnesia.

It's not vitamin C. In high doses it could cause
