Previously on Roswell, New Mexico...

The Dictator, he had abilities
no one had ever seen.

The flames couldn't touch him.

I'm the Dictator's son.

Every time I have a vision,
I see a little bit more.

Your brain is calling.
It says, "Stop hurting me."

Someone could die, Kyle.

Yeah. You.

I know so little about my own story.

The parts that I thought
I understood are unraveling.

I'm a clone. I need answers.

- What are you keeping from us?
- I'm dying.

I thought if I could just cowboy my way

into my final sunset

that I wouldn't have
to face the hard part.

All my samples were destroyed
in a lab fire,

so there's nothing left
back there for me.

Nothing is lost forever.

They made booze from extinct bacteria.

You're a genius.

Liz?

Max.

Mm, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

I had this idea that might help

stop Maria's mind from degrading.

Did you know that bacteria...

Uh-uh. I'm not done
with the talking stick.

Is this really about Maria,

Max and I are done.

You know that.

I actually saw him
outside the diner last night.

- And?
- And...

I remembered how he shattered my heart

when he b*rned down my lab.

Hmm.

Okay, let's talk about you.

Have you met any new friends lately?

Come on.

[GROANS] You have spent
so much time with Papi,

You don't get to eat my pancakes

I want you to actually get to live it.

Yeah, and you don't want to talk

NEWSMAN [OVER RADIO]:
Firefighters are still struggling

to contain the wildfires
in Lincoln National Forest.

Dozens of fires
are currently devastating

hundreds of acres
of New Mexico forestland...

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

...despite firefighters working

throughout the night
to combat the flames.

While some fires are close
to complete containment,

other fires are still
largely uncontrolled.

How else am I like him?

Well, abilities are
passed down genetically,

but they aren't predictable.

[GRUNTS]

You should be careful, son.
You might break your cage.

I could k*ll you right now.

Take your heart and save Max.

Well, then you'd be just like your dad.

[YELLS]

[PANTING]

Those little stones are very precious.

- Your mother was mining them.
- Don't...

...talk about my mother.

[STEAM HISSES]

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

[PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE]

You're still here?

Yeah.

I, uh, seem to have lost track of time

going through the old files.

You should take a break.

Get some fresh air.

- Look at the sky.
- I'm sorry,

I was under the impression
you wanted me to do my job.

Did you look at how
your predecessor did her job?

Yeah. And all she did was leave

a -page report on weather patterns.

She studied them for a decade.

You really think hours is enough time

to find something in there?

But if you're lucky, you might find

something in here.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Okay, look, I, uh...

I didn't sign up for The Men
Who Stare at Goats, so...

[CHUCKLES]

Deep Sky was established to explore

the untapped potential
that lies within us all.

And the universe itself.

Our goal is to ask the questions

that no one else has ever bothered to.

Why'd you hire me, then?

We think you have the potential to do

what your predecessors never could:

Gaze into the abyss
until the abyss gazes back.

And then what?

Ask the abyss what the machine does?

Alex,

your father only understood
the world in absolutes.

You two

were never headed in the same direction.

You knew him.

I knew he wanted answers.

And since the extent of
what we know about the machine

is that it turns on every days,

that can mean only one thing:

Our approach is flawed.

So if you want a chance
at solving this mystery,

you need to start by
asking the right questions.

- Which are what, exactly?
- If I asked them,

they wouldn't be your questions,
now, would they?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SNEEZES]

God, ever since those fires started

in Lincoln National Forest,
I can barely breathe.

Turns out I'm allergic to smoke.

So thanks, Apocalypse.

Well, I would say "bless you," but...

I'm more worried about the poor souls

who got buried at Forever Drab.

Oh, I'm sorry my visions
aren't more Instagrammable.

Hey, I, uh, I got your message.

It said you had another vision.

Yeah, I wanted us all together.

Alex and Michael aren't responding,

and Kyle is, um...

with Liz.

Yeah, I ran into her last night.

What?

Why wouldn't you tell me that? That's...

'Cause I am too busy
trying to solve this puzzle

to save us all, so...

Tell me there's something new.

I wasn't sure until we got here,
but now that I've seen it,

I'm... I'm certain.

This is where the funeral takes place.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Well, in that case, who do we know

that would have a funeral here?

Someone who wouldn't be
caught dead in a church.

Who d*ed?

I'm sorry, can we just talk about this

before we issue a death sentence?

No one is gonna die, Isobel.

We... are gonna stop it.

[WHISPERS]: Yeah.

We know that Alex is
covering up the m*rder,

which implies that it's
alien-related, right?

Which could mean that you tried
to heal the victim

and left one of
your infamous handprints.

Or the victim is an alien.

Or an alien committed the crime.

MAX: Let's just stick
to the evidence here.

Mom and Dad would have

their funerals at a church, right?

What about the Ortechos?

Ortechos are muy Católicos.

So that just... leaves Michael.

Well...

what do I win?

Cash prize...

...or is it just an untimely death?

MARIA: Sit down, Guerin.

All right? I lost a lot
of brain cells over this one.

You're gonna let me finish. Now, listen.

- Mm-hmm.
- During the vision,

I saw sunflowers, and they were placed

- across a casket.
- [LAUGHS]

That's because Sanders and I
are growing those

for the Garden Festival this year.

Well, I also heard a song.

It was like...

♪ Do, do, do, do... ♪

It's called "Canción Mixteca."

How do you know that?

Aside from it playing at my funeral?

Sanders hums it all the time.

He learned it when he was a kid,
helping out in the pecan fields.

[SCOFFS]

Is there anything else

that can get us closer to a suspect?

There was a guy, and he said

i-if the sheriff's department
had responded

the day that he filed the complaint,

then none of this would've happened.

But, um, some good news:

Think I saw snow on someone's shoulder,

so maybe we have some time.

- [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
- MAX: Okay. That is good.

- So, that's a couple months.
- [GRUNTS]

You know what?
Don't worry about it, DeLuca.

Lightning has set most of
New Mexico on fire anyways.

At least your boy's
gonna go out in flames.

All right. Well, I'm gonna
go to the station,

pull some files,
see if I can find a complaint

that matches that description.

[DOOR OPENS]

[GRUNTS]

You know, most people visit
the rodeo when they're in town.

Most people haven't
figured out how to recover

an alien cerebral cortex.

What do you mean, "recover"?

Noah's brain is toast.

Burnt toast.

[LIZ CHUCKLES]

You're hoping to extract
Noah's DNA from charcoal?

My coworker at Genoryx reminded me

that bacterial endospores can withstand

even the most extreme
environmental conditions.

And he did it with rum.

Hmm. Please tell me you brought some.

[GROANS] I just got to get this
underneath a microscope.

If the spores are there,
then I can cr*ck them open

and create new brain tissue
from the core.

I hope.

If a fireballed lab can't stop
the great Liz Ortecho,

what could you possibly need me for?

Yeah, we built this place together,

so, you know, you might see
something that I don't.

Or you want to compare
the proteins in these spores

to the unique healing properties

found in a certain someone's DNA.

I spent months studying Max's cells.

I just want my research back,
and all I would need

is just a microgram of his blood.

If you need Max's blood,
you need to ask him yourself.

You know that, right?

Yes. I...

Course I do.

[MARIA CRYING]

[SNIFFLES]

I don't know why I'm so upset.

Excuse me?

You really know how to hit

I-I don't know where that came from,

but I don't think that. I...

Has everyone forgotten I have a day job?

Hey.

Can you hang on to this?

No. No.

No, I can't be in the middle
of you two, and just...

- No.
- Please.

You said you wanted to see this through.

This isn't what I meant, okay?

Liz is going to hate me, and
she's also gonna hate you,

but you're gonna be dead,
so what do you care?

Whoa. Whoa.

Have you been mainlining acetone?

- Just for a couple weeks.
- [SCOFFS]

Look, but...

A couple days ago, it stopped working.

My heart is racing.

I can't eat. I can't sleep.

Can't think straight?

Any vertigo?

Yeah.

All signs of late-stage heart failure.

Oh, great. Cool.

- You have to talk to Liz.
- No.

I can't.

- It is not safe for her to be here.
- [GLASS CRACKS]

Is there something else going on?

[CHUCKLES]: What if, um...

if I told you I had a clone?

I'm in a nightmare.
There's another you? How?

You know, I don't even want to know.

I can't explain it,
but the last few days,

I felt this, um...

like, this pull.

But it just keeps getting worse.

So, you're saying the person

you have locked up is
just trying to draw you to him

like some alien pied piper?

I don't know, man!
Okay? I can't explain it.

I don't know what is happening.

But can you make it stop?

I need to solve this m*rder,

but this is making me crazy.

Yeah, and you're making me crazy.

Yeah, you kept
a healthy duplicate of you

locked up for a year

when I've been exhausting myself

spending every free
minute trying to search

for anything to fix your heart!

Look, why would you keep this a secret?

Because it is not safe.

Okay? He is a liability.

I'm your doctor, Max.
I should've been the exception.

You could've at least

given me a fighting chance
at saving you.

- I'm not asking you to save me!
- No.

You're just asking me
to stand by and watch

as you destroy yourself. And Liz!

I am trying not to destroy Liz.

[GLASS CRACKS]

Do you have

something stronger than acetone?

I've done everything I could for you.

The only way to save you now
is if that clone

is a healer, too.

Or if he gives you the heart
right out of his chest.

Okay.

I'll give you the best
modern medicine has to offer.

And I'll hold on to your damn letter.

What is this,
and why does it make me cry?

I asked Michael, and he
said he got it from you.

The turquoise.

It was an amplifier.

It vibrates at the same frequency we do.

And this, uh, ET tuning fork

ended up in the New Mexican
desert how, exactly?

It was that night in ' .

Our ship was breaking apart
before we even hit the ground.

And the chemicals it spewed...

it k*lled cattle.

It made the cactus flowers bloom,

but then it turned that little stone

into something else entirely.

What does it do?

It boosts our abilities.

So, what is my ability? Depression?

What, you really haven't
figured it out yet?

I mean, can't you sense
when something is off?

Emotional shifts in other people?

You're an empath, Isobel.

No, I know that self-loathing

This morning, I nearly slit his throat.

The Dictator... I'm his son.

Apparently, I have a temper.

What did he tell you?

What we've always known.

I'm the tyrant; You're the savior.

The two of you went down there
without me. Seriously?

This isn't how I wanted this to go.

How did you think it was gonna go?

Okay, you're right.

We've all been hiding things
from each other.

And it has to stop.

We're not strong unless we're together.

It's like you said; There has
to be three. We're a triad.

Did Jones tell you that?

What else did he tell you?

About our planet and...

and why we came here.

And that I'm an empath.

That's how I know
what's going on with Michael.

We need to put him back.

In the pod?

No. You want to see him.

Not anymore. What were you
thinking? Liz is in town.

Liz? What does Liz have to do with this?

Have you met her? If
she finds out about this,

she's not going to leave.

Okay?

Jones is dangerous.

- How do you know that?
- [SCOFFS]

I can't explain it. It's just
a feeling in my gut, okay?

He is dangerous, Isobel.

Just leave this be.

I saw your car.

Wanted to give you this turquoise.

It resonates with our tech.

I don't know why. But I do know

that if any alien mysteries come around,

I won't be here to play Hardy Boys.

I'm getting m*rder*d.

Wow, you must've loved that.

You've been looking for proof

I should've found you earlier.

I just had things on my mind, so...

Like... [EXHALES]

Someone getting m*rder*d
or your heart failing?

I should've told you.

I-I get why you didn't.

I mean, we've hardly been in a place

to share our deepest, darkest secrets.

And... you told Kyle,

so...

that's good. [SIGHS]

Ever since last night,
I've wanted to talk...

Can I go first? I...

I never should've hidden
what I was doing in the lab.

I-I was so afraid

of who I'd be without my
groundbreaking discovery

that I-I forgot about the other part,

the important part, and...

...it's you.

I was wrong, Max. I was wrong.

I-I...

I should've told you what I was doing.

And when you asked me
to stop, I should have.

And I never should have
b*rned down the lab.

All I've ever wanted
was for you to be great.

[CHATTER AND EXPLOSIONS ON MOVIE SCREEN]

We haven't been fair to you, Kyle.

No.

I brought this on myself.

I think I'm...

...lost.

I thought when I became
a doctor, my life would...

suddenly feel complete.

But...

still feel empty inside.

Have you heard of, um...

sleeping?

It's phenomenal.

You should try it.

Seriously though,

you should take care of yourself
for once.

I mean, you, of all people,
deserve to be happy.

My dad was wrong about most things,

but he was right about one.

Ever since ' , this town has
been at the center of a story

that's bigger than any one of us.

My dad thought that if he could just

find out what the story
was really about...

He could control it.

Yeah, but he couldn't.

So he made it an enemy to fight.

He made his whole life a fight.

Everything, everyone was just
something to charge through.

But this machine,

we cannot charge through it
to get the answer.

So how do you propose we get one?

Well, we start with the basics.

Is it built for good or for evil?

You've finally come.

MAX: I didn't have a choice.

I can't eat. I can't sleep.

Only thing I can do is
think about coming here

and talking to you. Why?

Because we're connected, you and I.

But you already know that.

When your siblings
pulled me out of the pod,

it solidified
the invisible tether between us.

But it didn't start with them.

Started with the console at the fair.

When I awoke, so did you.

I want it to stop.

Because you want to be with them?

You have to ask yourself,

have you ever
truly felt connected to them?

You have a decision to make.

I choose them.

I choose her.

The woman who built your failing heart?

You love her, don't you?

Hey, I pushed her away because of you.

Because of whatever this is!

Make it stop. Set me free.

I can't.

It's not some power.

It can't be quelled

- by my luxurious accommodations.
- [ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

When Nora and Louise stole
a piece of me to build you,

they created a wound so deep,

it can only be healed
when we are together.

Apart, we are weak.

Alone, we are dead.

- But together...
- No!

I don't need you.

For years, I've-I've
been, I've been fine.

I-I can choose.

You can't!

- [GRUNTING]
- Unless you accept

who you really are,
you will always suffer!

You know that! You are broken!

[ELECTRICAL POPPING]

Stop! [GRUNTS]

DISPATCHER: - in progress.

Corner of First and Main.
All units respond. Code .

Oh, my God.

[SNEEZES]

[GREGORY SIGHS]

Fires must be getting closer.

Oh, thank you.

- Ash is thicker than usual.
- [SNIFFLES]

I thought it was snow in my vision.

It's ash.

- ISOBEL: Maria! [PANTS]
- We're out of time.

The church is on fire.

We can't use the funeral home

to narrow down the victim
in your vision.

We can't eliminate anyone
as a potential m*rder victim.
