Michael's sleeping on the job

Malcolm: Mike. Wake up.

Michael: What.

Malcolm: Check this out. (He balances his pen on his nose)

Michael: You, you woke me up for that?

Malcolm: I had it a second ago.

Michael: Man I miss those other guys. These two man shifts are boring as hell.

Malcolm: ? Economic times. (Michael pulls off a Band-Aid) What happened to your hand?

Michael: I put it through a window.

Malcolm: On purpose?

Michael: Maria issues.

Malcolm: Man no chick is worth that.

Michael: Nope.

Malcolm: So you wanna hang out this weekend? I need an opponent.

I just got Madden 2002 and the computer keeps kickin my ass.

Michael: Alright but I get to be the ravens.

Malcolm: Fine but you can't have Jamal Lewis 'cause he's out in real life.

Michael: I don't need him cause I got Ray Lewis.

Malcolm: Well whatever then your goin down sucker.

Michael: Alright it's on. Time for the rounds though. Let's go.

As they go do the rounds men in white suits come in and clear out the room they were just in. They find Michael's Band-Aid.

Liz: Dear Maria. Spending a week on a cramped smelly bus was one of the most liberating experiences

of my entire life. The further away I got from Roswell, the more I felt like myself again. You know, like a normal teenager. In fact, when I finally got to the Winnaman academy it was like coming home.

Liz mails the letter... and goes to get settled in.

Principle: We have very strict rules here at Winnaman. Probably a much more disciplined atmosphere than your used to.

Liz: That's exactly what I want right now.

Principle: Good. Because we do have rules and we expect them to be followed. Curfew's at nine,

No boys allowed on campus. There'll be no smoking, no drinking and dr*gs will not be tolerated.

Liz: I guess the other girls feel like this is some sort of prison. But I'm actually grateful to have

Some boundaries clearly laid out for me. With a little discipline maybe I'll make it to Harvard

After all.

Gets to her dorm room. Her roommate opens the door.

Liz: I think this is supposed to be my room.

Roommate: You think.

Liz: Well, yea it is.

Roommate: Well I knew my single was too good to last.

Liz: Are you Ilene Burrows?

Ileen: Yea, I'm the welcoming committee. You must be um Elizabeth Parker.

Liz: Did they not tell you I was coming.

Ileen: No But you might wanna lose the name tag cause your an inmate now.

So um, Elizabeth, Liz, I mean what, what should I call you? (she takes out cigarettes)

Liz: Beth, I just, I go by Beth.

Ileen: Where are you from Beth?

Liz: California.

Ileen: What part. (Lights up a cigarette)

Liz: (as she puts her belongings away) Um not too far from Disneyland.

Ileen: Aha Lucky you. You leave a boyfriend back there?

Liz: mm-mm no, no boyfriend.

Ileen: Lesbian?

Liz: Sorry

Ileen: Oh. No I wasn't asking for a date, I mean there are plenty of girls here who dabble

With the whole, thing. (Holding up the cigarette) Is this making you uncomfortable?

Liz: You know to tell you the truth, it is. I just got read a riot act by the dean and I don't

Feel like getting in trouble five minutes after I've been here.

Ileen: It was a rhetorical question. I'm not putting it out.

Liz: Then why did you ask?

Ileen: I was being polite.

The door suddenly knocks. It's the dean.

Ileen: Who is it?

Dean: Dean Hackett.

Ileen: Oh crap. (She gets up and puts out the butt and tries to clear the smoke)

Liz: Um, um one second. (Liz gets undressed while Ileen sprays air freshener)

Liz: One second, I'm just changing my clothes. Sorry I'll be right there (Liz lights a candle)

I'm coming. (Opens door) Hi. Sorry, I just I wanted to change and get into my uniform

Dean: Do I smell smoke?

Liz: No, I just I lit a candle. Is that allowed?

Dean: Of course. I forgot to give you these earlier. Fill them out, return them to me in the morning.

Liz: I will. Thank you mame. (Liz closes the door)

Ileen: Quick thinker.

Liz: Practice.

Maria: Dear Liz. You know they say New York can be overwhelming at first, the crowds, the noise, the restless energy and its supposed to be intimidating to first timers. Not me. I love it. I am never leaving.

This is my kinda town. In fact I feel like, I don't know I feel like I've come home.

Maria sees her friend on the sidewalk and throws something at him.

Friend: Maria! What in the world!

Maria: I'm a rock star. Come on don't look so shocked, I told you I was coming.

Friend: Yeah but you didn't tell me you were coming in a limo.

Maria: Well what can I say, my label loves me.

Friend: Yea, obviously. They gave you a limousine.

Maria: Gave is a little strong of a word, I actually borrowed it from Dominique

Dayinarchick. You gotta meet her. A real live talent scout. I gotta introduce

You guys, I mean I know she'll just love your stuff so.

Friend: Nah, that's cool man, I mean really you don't have to do that.

Maria: Come on. Its nothing, get in here though, we're going to be late for my recording

Session. Let's go.

Back at Meta-chem.

Michael and Malcolm are doing their rounds.

Michael: Secure.

Malcolm: What do you think they have behind all these secret doors?

Michael: Can't say I really think about it. Or give a damn.

Malcolm: Well I do.

Michael: Secure. Of course you do.

Malcolm: See meta-chem's too secretive. I'm telling you they-they have some crashed

Alien spaceship in there and-and they're using reverse engineering to steal other cool

Technology. You know like where do you think remote controls come from or micro

Wave ovens or cell phones.

Michael: Monk, Meta-chem is a pharmaceutical company. All they have in those

Classified labs is some top secret formula for new cough syrup. All right. Come on

Let's go.

Inside the top-secret lab, someone looking at a blood sample from Michael.

Someone draws Michael's blood from a syringe.

Doctor: Are you sure about this?

Woman: Do it.

Doctor draws back a curtain and injects Michael's blood into an IV.

Back in the surveillance room.

Malcolm: When am I going to get my 40 bucks?

Michael: I'm not paying you.

Malcolm: You can't Welch.

Michael: Watch me. Playing an all star team against a regular ravens minus Jamal

Lewis. That's not fair.

Malcolm: Whatever take it up with the league man. I-I spent all my cash on valentines

Day.

Michael: You don't have a girlfriend Monk.

Malcolm: Yeah, I-I spent it on myself.

Michael: You're weird you know that.

Monitor starts beeping.

Michael: Hey we got a code blue in sector five. Pull it up.

Malcolm: We got a breach.

Michael: A real one.

Malcolm: Yeah this one ain't a drill man.

Michael: All right, uh, call 911. I'll head down to secure the area.

Michael goes to check the area and finds the door open and the window smashed.

He calls Monk on the walkie.

Michael: This exit is secure. I don't see anyone.

Malcolm: Police are on the way, I'm gonna come down.

Lights go off.

Michael: Hey Monk what's going on.

Malcolm: It wasn't me I'm already at the control center. Michael.

? I see somebody.

Michael: Alright wait there I'm on my way.

Malcolm: Stop! Don't move! (Michael hears g*n sh*ts)

Michael: Monk. Monk! (He breaks into a run)

Michael gets there to see a figure running away and Monk on the floor sh*t.

Michael: Monk. Monk look at me. Monk look at me, don't. Monk, Malcolm.

Monk. Ah, Monk. (Cries) Come on. You can't die.

Morning at Meta-chem before the board.

Woman: Now, let me get this straight. Uh, what happened immediately after the

Alarm was tripped.

Michael: We found a breach in s…

Woman: Yea, I can't hear you could you speak up.

Michael: We found a breach in sector five and I went down to seal the exit.

Woman: And Mr. Piles stayed behind.

Michael: Yea, he phoned the authorities. And then the power cut, and he walkied

Me over the radio sayin that he saw somebody. And uh, and then I heard the g*n

sh*ts.

Woman: Fine, well I think that about wraps it up don't you gentlemen? Anybody

Have any other questions? Good. Mr. Guerin you're free to go.

Michael: So, that's it. Don't the police want to talk to me?

Woman: No, no no. That's fine. We're going to send our notes from the inquiry

Over to them.

Michael: no, but. I-I should go down to the station. I'm the only eyewitness.

Woman: That really won't be necessary Mr. Guerin. You know, you've clearly

Been through a lot. Why don't you take a couple of days off.

Michael looks at her like she just grew another limb.

Michael goes to Valenti's. And knocks on the door.

Kyle: Michael I'm sorry to hear about… (michael storms past him as he opens the door)

Michael: Valenti I need your advice.

Jim: About what?

Michael: Try to catch the guy who k*lled my friend

Jim: Well aren't the police investigating.

Michael: Yeah but that's the problem. I'm the only eye witness and meta-chem doesn't

Want me talking to the cops.

Jim: Michael calm down. Now you're gonna have to bring me up to speed. Here come on

Sit down. Tell me what you saw.

Michael: I caught a glimpse of the figure but it was dark.

Jim: Can you give me any help at all. Was he tall or short, or fat, thin?

Michael: He was pretty tall I guess, I , it was just so quick, I was just trying to help Monk.

Jim: Alright what about video servaillence. Aren't there cameras in all those hallways?

Michael: Yeah but the power went out and the cameras shut down.

Kyle: Doesn't sound like there's a lot to go on.

Jim: I'll tell you what. Maybe there is a way I can help you.

Back at the Winnaman academy.

Ileen talking on the pay phone.

Ilene: Ok, there is no Liz Parker on this floor. Oh. Hey Liz. Um, there's somebody on the

Phone for you.

She hands Liz the phone.

Liz: Hello

Max: Liz, it's me.

Liz: Hi Max.

Max: I miss you.

Liz: I'm sorry that I didn't call it's just that I didn't know what to say after all those horrible

Things I had said.

Max: I don't even care about that I-I just want to know that you're ok.

Liz: I am. I'm really good, I this place it's really good for me. They have a biology club

Here and I'm gonna go on a ski trip this weekend.

Max: So you haven't had any more symptoms?

Liz: Um, no not since I've been here.

Max: That's great. So maybe you can come home soon. I mean I know all that stuff you

Said in your letter about wanting to leave Roswell and get away from it and all but I know that we

Can work everything out. (Liz starts reacting to his voice on the phone and the phone melts)

Liz: Oh my gosh.

Max: What. What happened.

Liz: Nothing.

Max: Liz. Are you ok?

Liz: Yeah max, I'm fine, I just I really can't talk.

Max: Can you call me later?

Liz: Yeah, I'll try, I just I really have to get off the phone now Max, bye.

A student walks up to use the phone.

Liz: Um the phone doesn't work, it's, I-it's out of order.

Back at the recording studio. Maria is singing one of her songs.

Maria: The other half you ain't no friend of mine No, ohho.

That's what brings me back again.

Dom: Alright well come on this is so working.

Maria: Dominique this is my very good friend Billy Darden. He's an excellent songwriter.

Dom: Oh great well get me a demo. I'd love to hear it.

Billy: Sure I mean if you're really interested I can just play you something right now.

Dom: No actually a demo's best.

Billy: Right

Dom: Yea thanks. Ok. Sugar. This song. It's good. I mean it's really good you know.

I just, I'm not quite sure its a home run. Do you know what I mean?

Maria: So you don't wanna use this song anymore.

Dom: Ok, I love it, but the label I think might wanna go with something just a little lighter.

Maria; Ok, well if they want a different song I mean Billy and I can…

Dom: Actually I've got the song, honey. Right here.

Maria: I-I don't understand I thought you wanted me because I was a songwriter.

Dom: Oh well, baby we want you, you know for your voice and your look. Everything, everything

The whole Deluca package.

Maria: Yeah but I-I didn't write this.

Dom: Yea, but professionals did. I mean no offense, my gosh I mean you're, you're just

New, you're raw.

Maria: I mean I-I don't even think like this.

Dom: Ok. Please try it. Alright and trust me. I'll tell you what, you record this song ok and then at the

End of the day if you don't like it and you wanna go with your song then we'll, we'll go with your

Song. Alright? Ok, cause I just, I just want us to have options.

Maria: Ok.

Dom: Alright then.

Maria: Ok.

Dom: Perfect. Excellent.

Back at the dorm room.

Ilene: Is it Liz or is it Beth?

Liz: I've always gone by Liz. And I'm not from California, I'm from New Mexico. Roswell.

Ilene: And the part about not having a boyfriend?

Liz: Uh, that guy that was on the phone. He's the reason that I'm here.

Ilene: See. Just be yourself. We'll get along just fine.

Back at Meta-chem.

Michael playing with a yo-yo while Jim walks up.

Michael: Guess the interview went well.

Jim: Piece of cake.

Michael: Drop my name?

Jim: I didn't really have to Michael. She seemed pretty impressed with my resume. You know

Being a sheriff and all.

Michael: Must feel good to be back in uniform.

Jim: Not really. You want to show me that crime scene.

Michael: Uh, yeah.

At the crime scene.

Michael: This is the door they broke in.

Jim: Good. They haven't fixed it yet.

Michael: No I delayed the maintenance request. I figured you'd want to see it.

Jim: Good thinking. Now you. If you reach you're hand through that hole, you'd still

Have trouble reaching the handle to unlock it wouldn't ya.

Michael: Yea, you think they had a tool or something?

Jim: Anything like that turn up?

Michael: Not that I know of.

Jim: No look at that. You see the shards of glass how they're all pushed out.

Michael: Yeah what do you think that means?

Jim: It means that whatever broke this window, hit it from the inside. Nobody broke into

Meta-chem that night Michael. They just wanted it to look that way.

In a monitor that the woman is watching.

Michael: Are you saying the guy that k*lled Monk works here?

Jim: I'm saying it's a possibility. Still have to check a few things.

Back at Valenti's house.

Deputy: Brought that autopsy report that you wanted.

Jim: Thanks. The company needs that for the insurance you know.

Deputy: Yea, yea. Shame about that kid.

Jim: Yea. So, um. Any leads?

Deputy: Jim. I'm, I'm sorry, I-I can't discuss an active investigation with you.

Jim: I know you can't. Of course you can't. I taught you. I just figured that uh, well you

Know this being your first homicide case and all maybe I can help.

Deputy: Well there is something, we uh, found this shoeprint. At the scene. I've been waiting for report back from the FBI lab but they're so backed up it could take weeks.

Jim: I know a guy that might be able to help. Have to borrow this.

Deputy: Sure. Actually I uh, made you a copy.

Back at Meta-chem.

Michael: This footprint is useless the floors already been scrubbed.

Jim: Not completely useless. (He sprays something on the floor and shines a blue light on the Floor and footprints emerge.)

Michael: That's very cool.

Jim: Here let me see that Polaroid.

Michael: That's our shoe right there, right?

Jim: Yea. Let's see where they lead.

They follow the footprints to the security locked door.

Jim: Think you can open that door?

Michael: Yea. No problem. (He disarms the door)

Jim: What the hell are they doin back here?

Michael: No one knows.

Michael finds a vial with his name and his Band-Aid in it.

Michael: Valenti.

Jim: What is it.

Michael: That's my blood. They've been studying me.

Jim: Do you think they know you're an alien?

They find Liz's dress and other alien memorabilia.

Michael: They definitely know. That's Liz's dress.

Jim: From when she was sh*t?

Michael: And Max healed her. We gotta get this stuff out of here.

They put everything in a container and then suddenly the lights are turned on and

Two workers come in.

Valenti talks to them while Michael escapes.

Workers: Yeah I'm not a fan of horseradish either. I mean if I get a Roast beef sandwich, mayo

Is fine. Alright take a look at this here.

Jim: How are you fella's doin this evening. Mind if I take a look at your ID badges?

Worker: Well I don't think I, we don't usually have to carry them.

Jim: It's a new policy we've instituted since the recent breakin.

Worker: Well I-I left mine in my car. Do you want me to go get it?

Jim: No-no. I tell you what though in the future why don't you ah, why don't you make a

Point to keep it on you at all times.

Worker: Ok, sir. I'll be sure to do that.

Jim: You know company's clampin down on everybody since this thing happened. Makes my

Job a lot tougher I'll tell ya.

Suddenly the woman and her g*ons walk in.

Woman: Hello Mr. Valenti.

Back at the recording studio.

Maria: (singing) It's time to start a fire, I'm done with just desire. Come and say you will be.

Touch me the way you know you can. The only way that I want to feel. Love me

Ok can we cut it? I'm sorry.

Dom: Ok. Darlin. You don't say cut. I say cut ok. Ok so we're gonna do it again and from

The second verse. Alright?

Maria: K. Wait you know I just, I'm sorry this just isn't working for me.

Dom: What's wrong?

Maria: I don't know it's, it's just not me. I'm not feeling it or whatever.

Dom: Ok, but honey. I-I really I know what these label boys want so just trust me on this.

Maria: No I do, but its just these aren't my lyrics. I feel really weird singing them.

Dom: Alright well fight your way through it cause you sound great. Really.

Maria: I know but I mean, my, my songs are, you know, what I am.

Dom: Well this is business. This isn't personal.

Maria: Well yea it's personal. It's personal to me. I mean if it's not personal, it's just karaoke.

I could just do that at home back at the pizza pan.

Dom: The…are you going to sing the song or not.

Maria: No I want, I want to sing the other song. I want to sing my song.

Dom: Yea well Maria. Sweety, the other song isn't going to work. Ok

So we're gonna need this song.

Maria: But we had a deal. You're not giving me a choice are you?

Dom: Oh no. Oh nonono, honey you always have a choice. See you can

Finish recording this demo, or you can head back to Roswell.

Maria: Then I will head back home to Roswell.

Billy: Lets go get that limo before they take it away.

Back at the dorm.

Ilene: And you were really arrested?

Liz: Yea. I was thrown against the car and cuffed and everything.

Ilene: Wow. You know when you first walked through the door I never would have guessed it.

Liz: I know it's so weird saying it. It's like I'm talking about another person, you know. But I

Yea it's me. It's who I've become.

Ilene: So what was it like, I mean prison and everything.

Liz: Um, well it was its like not much different then being here.

Ilene: Ah, this place isn't so bad. You just haven't been to the rat.

Liz: What's the rat?

Ilene: Uh, it's a place we go to get away. I'll take you there tommorrow.

Liz: Why don't we go right now?

Ilene: Liz it's way past curfew.

Liz: You said if I was just myself we'd get along fine right? Right? Well, this is me.

Climbing the stairs to the attic.

Ilene: What?

Liz: Shh. I hear someone. (They hid just as the dean comes down the stairs)

Ilene: That was great. Come on.

In the attic where the rat is hidin. A bar.

Liz: Why do they call this place the rat. Are there rats here?

Ilene: No it's, it's short for ratskeller. Kind of like a bar. See.

Liz: Oh.

Ilene: Now, some of the girls like to drink straight from the bottle. But personally,

I think a flask is class, don't you? Cheers.

Back at Michael's pad. He gets off the phone.

Michael: Valenti's still not answering. It's been over two hours, he should have been home.

Max: Maybe he's on his way over.

Isabel: How much do you think these Meta-chem people know about us?

Max: We don't know how much they know.

Michael: Maxwell they know enough to expose us.

Isabel: I say we go back in there.

A knock on the door.

Michael: Valenti.

Kyle: Hey were you working with my dad last night, he never came home.

Michael: Did he call?

Kyle: No. What's going on?

Max: We need to go in now.

Michael: No we can't go now. It's in the middle of a working day. Max there's millions of

People.

Kyle: Millions of people, what are you talking about.

Isabel: Kyle, we think your dad's in trouble.

Back at the dorm.

Ilene: So tell me about this Max guy. Boyfriend?

Liz: Boyfriend, uh ex-boyfriend I don't know. It's so weird that you don't know who Max

Evans is. He's like, he's like such a big part of my life you don't even understand.

Ilene: Wanna talk about it.

Liz: I don't know. See it's like, it's complicated.

Ilene: Yup. It's always complicated. Ok, just here try me.

Liz: Well he, he was with this other girl.

Ilene: He stepped out!

Liz: And she got pregnant.

Ilene: What?

Liz: It's been really rocky since then.

Ilene: I can't believe you're even with him. Once a cheater always a cheater.

Liz: But see, he didn't really cheat on me because technically we weren't together at the time.

Ilene: Who cares about technically, did you love him?

Liz: Yeah, definitely. I still do.

Ilene: And he hurt you.

Liz: Yeah.

Ilene: Well then he's a cheater.

Liz: I wish it was that simple. You know but there's like all this, there's like all this stuff.

That you don't even like know about.

Ilene: Liz. It is that simple. Ok, there's always extra stuff and it's all just excuses that we make

For them. Because we're afraid to leave them and we rationalize and rationalize and let them

Walk on us. Why are we so afraid? And tell me what is so scary?

Liz: I don't know.

Ilene: I'm not afraid. (She opens the window and screams into the night) I AM NOT AFRAID!

Liz: What are you doing, you are gonna get us caught.

Ilene: Come on Liz, Tell the world. Screw guys who cheat! Yeah!

Liz: Yeah! Screw em!

Ilene: I don't need you.

Liz: I am fine on my own! WOOO!

Ilene: Yeah! Take that!

Back at Michael's pad.

Michael: Ok this is how it works. I'm gonna go in first. Alone.

Kyle: Where's my walkie talkie?

Michael: You don't get one because you're not coming.

Kyle: But my father's in there.

Max: Kyle. Its too dangerous.

Kyle: Don't give me that aliens only crap.

Max: Kyle look, you are the only one other than us who knows what's going on. If something

Goes wrong. We could get trapped, or worse, we need someone on the outside.

Kyle: Alright what do I do.

Michael: If we're not back by dawn, call Hanson.

Kyle: What do I tell him?

Michael: Tell him your father and three aliens got kidnapped by Meta-chem.

Max: At that point it won't matter what you tell him. Just get help.

Kyle: All right just get him and get out.

Michael: ok Maxwell, you're going to pick up Isabel and bring her to the plant. I want you

There for the 3am shift change. (Isabel leaves and Jesse sees her go and follows her)

When nobody's around I'll bypass the system and let you both in undetected. You and Isabel

Will have to split up to cover as much ground as possible. The place is big and Valenti could

Be anywhere. I'll watch you from the security centre. I'll be your eyes and ears. And we will

Find Valenti.

Max opens a door and shines a light on Valenti.

Jim: Who is that?

Max: It's me Max.

Jim: You wanna get that light out of my eyes?

Max: Alright you ok?

Jim: Yeah. I could use the bathroom.

Max: Did they hurt you?

Jim: No, the woman just threw me in here and left.

Max: Michael. I've got him, he's ok.

Michael: Good now get outta there.

Max: Let's go.

Michael: Isabel, Max has Valenti get back up here.

Isabel: Copy that.

Max and Jim take off down the corridor. But the g*ons run up behind them and sh**t Jim.

Max: No! (he throws them against the wall with his powers) Can you move?

Jim: I don't.

Max: Its ok. It's ok. (he puts his hand over Jim's wound) Valenti look at me. Look at me.

Jim: Max. Thank you. (Max lifts Valenti off the floor and they have g*ns aimed at their heads)

Woman: So you're the healer. You have no idea how long we've been looking for you.

Upstairs.

Isabel: Where are they?

Michael: Last time I saw them they were in corridor three. Let's go.

In another corridor going into a secured room.

Max: What do you want from us.

Woman: Not us, just you. The healer.

Michael and Isabel run and go to the first secured room.

Isabel: What the hell is in here?

Michael: I don't know.

They open the curtain but there is no one there.

Michael: Let's go.

Back at the dorm. After a night of drinking Liz is relaxing in her room. Someone knocks

On the door.

Liz: Ilene. Ilene. Did you lock yourself out again?

Maria is at the door.

Maria: Guess who.

Liz: Oh my gosh, Maria. Hi. What are you doing here?

Maria: Do I smell alcohol?

Liz: Why do I smell? I should get some gum.

Maria: What do you drink now?

Liz: No. I, a little bit.

Maria: I leave you for five minutes…

Liz: You know what they have this place I have got to show you.

In the attic.

Liz: You know, I was really scared to come here and I didn't know if I was doing the right thing.

But just in the past few days it like the first time in years that I felt like a normal teenager.

Maria: Yeah it is nice to get away from the alien chaos isn't it. Gosh I don't know if I can go

Back yet.

Liz: Then why don't you just stay here.

Maria: What?

Liz: Yeah come on Ilene and I, we have got this whole place figured out. We can get you anything

You need. And plus spring break is, it's comin up. No one's gonna be around.

Back at Meta-chem.

Woman: Bring him in. (They bring in an old man on a whole bunch of monitors) Heal him.

Max: Who is he?

Woman: My husband. Clayton Wheeler. He owns all of this.

Jim: So you're what a few days away from inheriting his millions.

Woman: I don't care about that.

Jim: Right. You just happened to fall in love with a man who is twice your age. Who just

Happens to be a multi-millionaire.

Mrs. Wheeler: Quiet! You don't know anything about me. Have you ever been married Mr.

Valenti?

Jim: Once. Didn't stick.

Mrs. Wheeler: Well I've been married for twenty-two years. That is a long time to be with

Someone. Things change. Feelings change. Motives change. He is my husband now and I am

Not going to lose him.

Max: What's wrong with him.

Mrs. Wheeler: He's old. Unfortunately all the money in the world can't stop the aging process.

Believe me we tried. Everything. And then we heard a story about a girl in Roswell who was

sh*t with no ill effects.

Max: Liz. That's why you have her dress.

Mrs. Wheeler: Oh we analyzed that thing for two years the best scientist's in the world couldn't

Figure that out. And then we got another little tip. Several children with terminal cancer mysteriously

Healed.

Max: In Phoenix. A serveillance picture of Michael from the hospital. You thought he was the

Healer?

Mrs. Wheeler: Well until he couldn't heal his friend. Then we knew we had the wrong guy.

Max: You k*lled Monk as a test?

Mrs. Wheeler: My husband is dying. We're desperate.

Max: That's no excuse to k*ll someone in cold blood.

Mrs. Wheeler: What's done is done. Now heal him.

Max; It doesn't work like that. I can't save someone from a natural death.

Mrs. Wheeler: I think you can. And you will. (she snaps her fingers and they point the g*ns

At them again)

Max moves to Clayton and puts his hand on him. A bright light starts getting larger and larger.

Max starts to age.

Back in the corridor.

Isabel: Where are they.

Michael: This place is huge they could be anywhere.

Max is aging rapidly and things start breaking.

Jim: Max, Max stop! (One of the g*ons hits him in the back of the head with his g*n)

Suddenly they break apart and max collapses on the floor while Clayton leaves. Max falls

To the floor and there is an expl*si*n and as Jim tries to reach for him he turns to ashes.

Jim: Max. Max!

Back in the dorm.

Liz wakes up from sleeping.

Maria: What happened?

Liz: Max is dead.
