[Fire crackling]
Max: mmhhh!
Kal: Why are you here?
Max: I'm looking
for our ship...
From the '47 crash.
Kal: Who are you
working with?
Max: No one.
Kal: Don't lie to me.
I will kill you.
Max: Like you killed ferrini?
Kal: How did you get
to los angeles?
Max: I-10 west,
then straight north.
Kal: Don't get cute
with me, you prick.
Max: Do you murder everyone
who discovers
you're an alien,
or do they get
a warning first? Unnhh!
Kal: Why do you think i know
where this ship is?
Max: You knew it was in utah.
Kal: Who else knows?
[Coughing]
Max: please, the...
Kal: answer me!
[Breathing hard]
[coughing]
Kal: so, this is
the mighty king
of antar.
A low-rent tom cruise
with a $10 haircut?
Buddy boy, you have
no idea what you're
gettin' yourself into.
Max: I came all this way
to find you.
I need your help.
you're our protector.
Kal: don't call me that.
yeah...I was put
on that ship
to protect you.
But that was 50 years ago.
[Coughing]
Kal: boys!
Kal: You're leaving...
Or you're dead.
Take mr. Evans to my airplane
[Isabel and her mother are meeting with the wedding planner]
[Sighs]
Isabel: I want
a country wedding.
Something simple
but elegant.
Wedding Planner: Sounds like you and mom
have been brainstorming.
Mrs Evans: Oh, not me.
I, um...
Can hardly get
used to the fact
that i'm here.
Isabel: mom, you said
you'd be supportive.
Mrs Evans: I didn't exactly
have a choice.
Wedding Planner: It's always a surprise
when your little girl
takes this step.
Mrs Evans: Mmm.
Wedding Planner: Patrick!
I need mist
over here.
These lilies
are languishing
before my eyes.
[Sighs]
Isabel: why are you
being so negative?
Mrs Evans: isabel, I am in shock.
I mean, I' barely
gotten used to the idea
of you graduating
high school.
Isabel: Mom, we have been
discussing this
for 48 hours straight.
I mean, you were the one
who hired the annoying
wedding planner.
Mrs Evans: Well, I mean, if
you're actually gonna
go through with this,
you need to have
a realistic plan.
"If"?
Isabel: Sorry. So,
Wedding Planner: where were we?
Isabel: Well, I was thinking
that i'd like
to have the wedding
in a freshly mown
field...Maybe
next to a pond,
and then have
the reception
in an old barn.
Wedding Planner: Oh, that's a lovely notion.
Really, it is, isabel,
but when you go country,
you open the door
to a host
of logistical nightmares.
Plus, the insect population--
very hard to control.
Wedding Planner: You want to know
a wonderful venue?
The lobby of
the springfield inn.
I have done
so many weddings
there.
Isabel: But I don't want
someone else's wedding.
Jesse: Maybe we could
light the barn
with torches.
Not...Not like
tiki torches.
I...Mean...
Maybe torches
is the wrong word.
More like candles.
Oh, there's
nothing more flammable
than an old barn.
Isabel: Yes, well, that's
why we need the pond.
Windy, this is
my fiance jesse.
Wedding Planner: So, when do we want
to have the big day?
Isabel:
This spring.
Mrs Evans: What?
Isabel: Yeah. We figured...
Why wait?
Mrs Evans: This is not a race.
I mean,
the two of you
just got engaged.
Let's--
Isabel: mom...It's
what we want.
Can't you
just be happy?
We're planning
my wedding.
I mean, it's
gonna be fun.
It's gonna be great.
Wedding Planner: Oh...So cute,
so in love.
[Scene switches to a party at Kal's mansion. Max crashes the party]
Man: So, uh,
what happened
with tiffany?
Did she walk?
Kal: What, are you kidding?
She's an actress.
I bumped up
her per diem.
I put her
in a bigger trailer.
I got brian
to rewrite
the part.
Brian: That was
my finest hour.
now the hooker's
a part-time yoga instructor.
Max: You'll open
30 million easy.
Sorry I'm late.
I...Was on the phone
with variety.
Kal: I thought you
were on an airplane.
Max: Nah. I wanted
to keep talkin'
about our project.
Kal: Project?
You're killin' me, kal.
Max: Max evans.
Antar films.
[Liz and Maria are talking in the Kitchen of the Crashdown. Liz takes cookies our of the oven]
Liz: Voila.
M&m tabasco swirl
cookies.
I came up
with the recipe
all by myself.
Maria: A care package.
Max is so spoiled,
man.
Liz: No, he is not.
Maria: Liz, he hasn't been gone
more than a week.
Liz: Could you just
let me finish?
Because he's calling
in less than an hour.
Maria: What? really?
Liz: Uh-huh.
Maria: Are you guys
gonna talk,
or are you
just gonna breathe
heavy into the phone?
Are you gonna repeat
each other's name
back and forth
and back and forth?
Liz: Stop it! Ha ha!
Liz: Oh!
Hey!
Isabel: Hi. Um...
I'm getting married
to jesse ramirez.
Liz: What?!
Maria: What?!
Isabel: Yeah, and you
know weddings are full
of all kinds
of stupid
traditions,
like the garter toss
and that--that chicken dance
and, well...Bridesmaids,
and since you guys
are the closest thing
i have to girlfriends,
I was wondering
if you would be mine?
Maria: Ok.
Liz: Yeah, sure.
Isabel: Great! Good. Ok.
That's done.
Ok.
[Isabel looks at the tray of cookies]
Isabel: is that for max?
Maria: Uh-huh.
Liz: Yeah. Sure is.
Isabel: He's so spoiled.
Maria: Mm-hmm.
Isabel: You know what?
He doesn't know
about
the engagement yet,
so let's just...
Keep it that way.
And, maria, I'm gonna
need you to tell
michael for me.
Ok. See ya.
Maria: Did that just happen?
[Scene switches to Max talking at the party]
Max: An alien...
Stranded on earth...
Tries to find
his way back home.
Woman: Like e.T.
Max: Yes. But...
Think tom cruise.
Man: Sounds more
like starman.
Max: Exactly.
Kal: That picture
didn't open .
Max: Oh, it gets better,
Kal.
See, our guy
hunts down
another alien,
also stranded
on earth.
Kal: He's the only person
who can help him
on his quest.
Man: How?
Max: I'm glad you asked,
scott.
There's a ship
Kal: ha ha ha ha!
Max: And this other alien
might know whe it is,
or at least have
the resources
to find it.
You see,
this other alien
is a big...
[Chuckles]
Hollywood
producer.
[everyone- Chuckling and laughter]
Kal: ah...
that i like.
Except i--
I don't like these feel-good
science fiction flicks.
I don't think they're
interesting unless...
Somebody dies.
[Michael is visiting Isabel]
Isabel: Why is it you feel
you're above doorbells?
Michael: Got your message.
Is it a joke?
Isabel: No. I'm getting married.
Michael: We agreed not to bring
anyone else into this.
Isabel: Michael...
I don't want to put
my life on hold.
This is my one chance
to be happy...
To love someone and
have him love me back
without all of this garbage
that has made us
miserable our whole lives
getting in the way.
I've put a lot
of thought into it,
and I don't see any reason why
Jesse has to know the truth.
Michael: Well, knowing
what i know
about alien sex,
he's gonna have
major questions
after the honeymoon.
Isabel: ok, michael,
get out of my room.
Michael: what did max say?
[Sighs]
Isabel: I'm gonna tell him
when he gets back.
Come on, michael.
Just congratulate me.
Michael: On what?
[Back at the Hollywood party]
Man: Mmm.
Call me tomorrow?
Do lunch?
Kal: max.
That picture
of yours...
Stick around.
I got somethin' I'd
like to throw at ya.
Man: you sure you don't
want me to st--
Kal: good night, brian.
Man: Ok.
[Kyle raises his hand, and Max flies across the room]
Kal: you come to my home.
You taunt me
in front of my friends.
You threaten...
To expose me!
Max: I have a son.
Kal: You mated with
another alien hybrid.
Max: My child is back on antar.
he's in trouble.
That's why i need
the ship...
And one of its pilots.
Kal: The air force
reassembled that ship.
But it will never fly.
Max: If anyone can get it
up and running,
it would be you.
Kal: I told you...
I told you
i would kill you.
[Choking]
Max: you're gonna have to.
Uhh!
[Langley breathes
rapidly and shallowly- he raises his hand again towards Max]
Max: you can't kill me,
can you?
You've had
so many chances.
Utah...Yesterday
in the film vault...
but you can't...
Because you're
my protector.
Get as mad as you want,
but get one thing straight--
I am not going anywhere
until you help me.
[Back in the diner, Maria and Liz are discussing Isabel]
Maria: I still can't believe
Isabel's
getting married.
This is, like, a disaster
of epic proportions.
If you think michael
freaked when he found out,
Max is gonna
go ballistic.
And who is jesse ramirez?
Mrs Evans: Hi, girls.
Maria: Oh, hi,
ms. Evans.
You're here!
I--i mean...
How are--
how are you?
Good.
Mrs Evans: So...What's new?
Maria: Uh, nothing.
You know Roswell.
[Maria chuckles
uncomfortably]
Mrs Evans: Hmm. Well...
Actually, I, um...
I was looking for michael.
Liz: Oh, I'm sorry,
but he's not working
today.
Mrs Evans: Oh. Well, Maria,
would you kindly remind him
that he still
has my 9-by-13
casserole dish?
Isabel took something over
weeks ago for Max,
and I'd like it back.
Maria: I--well,
I'll remind him.
Definitely.
Mrs Evans: So, liz...
How is max?
Liz: Um...
He's fine.
Mrs Evans: I was wondering
if you happen to have
his new cell phone number.
Apparently, he,
um, he changed it
when he moved out.
I've left
a couple of messages
at michael's,
but...I'm not even sure
he's living there anymore.
I just want to talk
to my son.
I want to know
that he's safe.
I'm sure
you can understand that,
can't you?
Liz: I'm sorry, but
i can't help you.
Mrs Evans: Well...
I'll let you girls
get back to work.
Ok. Bye.
Maria: open defiance
of a parental unit.
Whoo!
This is just
so twisted and...
Romantic.
You and max are
totally Romeo and Juliet
against the world.
Liz: Well, actually, romeo
never called last night.
Maria: What?
Liz: Yeah.
[Liz takes a man's plate]
Man: Hey! I'm
not done!
Maria: He'd better be
in a ditch somewhere.
Liz: Maria,
do not say that.
Maria: I'm just saying
blowing off a phone date
is unacceptable,
that's all.
Liz: Look, I am just trying
to convince myself
that he's
not hurt or worse,
that he is just busy.
Maria: Call his alien butt.
Liz: No. No, I am not gonna
become the codependent
girlfriend,
not when he is
on this whole quest.
Maria: Ok, I respect that...
But, i mean, how long
is this thing gonna take?
He may never find
his son.
Liz: Thanks
for the pep talk,
maria.
Maria: No. Ok, there's
no doubt in my mind
that he is madly
in love with you,
but, i mean, you're
half of this couple.
You know, you
can't forget that.
[The next day, Max shows up at Kal's Mansion]
Kal: That'll
be all, Giselle.
Thank you.
Max: Why would someone
who can't feel
get a massage?
Kal: Excuse me?
Max: You had your finger
in a lit candle last night,
and you didn't
even flinch.
See, i don't think
you can smell
or taste, either.
You must have
a thousand lemons
in your fridge.
Kal: I like tea.
Max: See, i don't remember
much when I first came
out of the pods,
but I do remember this--
the first few months,
I couldn't smell
or taste anything except
for strong flavors...
Sugar, lemon...Tabasco.
Eventually,
our senses matured.
Max: You don't know
how lucky you are
to have even
a fraction of human dna
inside you?
Max: You have
human envy?
Kal:
there's not
a sensual pleasure
on this planet
i can't afford,
but I can't experience it,
not like they can.
Max: if your life
is so limited,
then how can you
stand living here?
Kal: I've learned
to diminish
my alienness.
Max: How?
I don't shapeshift.
I haven't done it
in years.
Gives the body organs
a chance to function.
Max: That seems
impossible.
Kal: Well, first 30 years,
it was.
Then, in 1978...
I smelled chlorine
in the pool.
Soon after that, lemons.
Last 20 years was
a bust, but don't you
feel sorry for me.
I love my life.
can you say the same?
Max: I need to find my son.
He's in danger.
You can help.
Kal: No, max.
Kal: This is my home-
hollywood, california,
U.S.A., Planet earth.
[Telephone rings]
[clears throat]
[beep]
Kal: hello!
Nicki, baby.
No.
No, no. No.
I want your client
on my set in 2 days.
That's not true.
I'll e-mail you
a copy of the contract.
I only yell
because I love.
Later.
Kal: Hey, kid...
[Beep]
Kal: this'll cheer you up.
C.E.O. Of nokia?
He gave me this.
I got his granddaughter
to meet brad pitt.
Only other guy
who's got it
is Dick Cheney.
George W.
Is still pissed.
Max: Oh, yeah?
Let me see it.
Kal: Huh?
The phone.
If it's that amazing,
hand it over.
It's yours.
Max: What? I mean,
Kal: you just--you said--
hey, you said yourself
i should be more giving.
Stick around.
Have a sandwich.
Take a swim.
See you later, Max.
[Mrs. Evans walks in on Isabel kissing Jesse]
Mrs Evans: Isabel, honey,
do you have--
uh...
Um...
Do you have the number
of the, uh, printer
that we used
for your graduation
announcements?
Isabel: Yeah, it's in my planner.
I'll go get it.
Mrs Evans: Oh, no, no, no, no.
I...I can find it,
why don't you two
just...
Go back to doing
whatever...
It was
that you were doing.
[Mrs. Evan's gets Max's new number out of Isabel's planner]
Max: hello?
Mrs Evans: Max. It's mom.
Max: Hi
Mrs Evans: how are you?
Max: good. I'm good.
Mrs Evans: Where are you,
honey?
Max: I'm in california, mom.
Mrs Evans: california?
Why?
Max: Just...Because...Mom.
What is happening
to our family?
Do you know
about your sister?
Max: What about her?
Mrs Evans: She and jesse ramirez
got engaged.
Max: Wait. W-what? And
you're ok with this?
Mrs Evans: Oh...Doesn't much
matter what I think.
But, max, isabel
values your opinion.
Will you talk to her?
Max: Ok.
Mrs Evans: ?Do you need
anything?
Max: No, mom.
Mrs Evans: I just wanted
to hear your voice.
I love you
so much, max.
Max: Me, too.
Bye.
Kal: How's mommy?
Max: Why did you give me
your phone?
Kal: I'm huge. I can get
another one.
Max: Langley, stop.
Look at me.
Do you like ice cream?
Kal: I'm on the zone.
Max: Would you like
to get me some?
Kal: No.
Max: angley, get me
some ice cream.
You see, i've been
thinking about this.
You didn't give
me the phone
because you felt
sorry for me.
You did it because
i told you to.
when i give
a direct order
you have
to follow it,
don't you?
Kal: Yes.
Max: I wish i knew
these rules
a little sooner,
Kal. We could've
saved some time.
Max: You and i
are gonna find
that ship.
[Max and Kal arrive at the air force base]
Max: Let me hear
the plan again.
Kal: I will meet
with general chambers,
the military consultant
i've used
on many Kal Langley
productions.
I will find out
where he ship
is being stored
and wet permission
to examine it .
Max: Because...
Kal: Because I am striving
for authenticity
on my new picture,
...Saturn skies.
Max: Be real casual.
Play it like it
doesn't matter
whether or not
he gives what
you're asking for
because if you get
too eager, he might
get suspicious.
Kal: Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
Are you giving me
direction?
I'm sorry, but how many
academy awards
have you won, huh?
'Cause i've won 4.
[Kal meets with the general]
Kal: Aaaah!
General: Kal, you old dog,
how are ya?
Kal: Eddie!
General: You hollywood boys.
Who's the kid?
Kal: Him? Nah, he's...
Just an intern.
Wait here.
[Isabel and Michael are talking]
ISMichael: we're not
doing this here.
Isabel: When you get together
with maria,
nobody stood
in your way,
and max can clearly
do whatever the hell
he wants.
I am the only one
who seems
to have to follow
the rules.
Michael: I'm not changing
my opinion.
This marriage
is wrong.
Isabel: Wrong for who?
Ok, maybe this doesn't
seem rational to you
but it doesn't have to.
I am crazy about this guy.
God, michael,
all I am asking for
is a normal life.
Michael: And why doesn't
jesse deserve
the same thing?
Everybody that we come
into contact with
is at risk.
Only in his case,
if and when
the trouble starts,
he won't even know
what's coming.
That kind of sucks.
Wedding Planner: Isabel!
Oh, I'm so glad
to run into you.
Isabel: One second...
Michael: If you really
loved him,
you wouldn't be
this selfish.
Wedding Planner: Look at this.
I just discovered
a new horse-drawn
carriage company.
How about the fantastic
gold tassels
on his harness?
Isabel: Horses, um...
I am actually
the only girl who
never liked them.
We're gonna be taking
a car to and from
the reception.
Wedding Planner: Honey,
do me a favor,
just take this
home and show it
to your mom.
you know, the more
i think about it,
the happier I am
you turned down
that april date
at Emden pond.
Isabel: What?
Wedding Planner: Yeah, your mother
was right,
it's just too nippy
that time of year.
Isabel: You talked to my mother?
Wedding Planner: When the date
opened up,
I called her
right away.
[Cell phone rings]
[sighs]
Isabel: excuse me.
hello?
Max: So you think
you're getting married?
Isabel: H-how did you--
how did you find that out?
Max: Mom tracked me down.
Isabel, you've only known
this guy for a month.
Isabel: 4 months, and don't
call him "this guy."
Max: Either way,
I don't see the urgency.
Isabel: gonna have this conversation
with you on the phone.
Max: Look, just don't make
any more plans
until I get back.
Isabel: Stop it.
I am not a child.
Max: Yeah, well,
you're acting like one.
Isabel: Yeah, well, you, too.
Wedding Planner: Uh, well, uh,
you...
Have a good one,
ok?
[Kal and the general are talking in the General's office]
General: (on the phone) Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
General: Kal: Ed, come on.
It's not like we're talking
national security.
Everybody knows
this ship's a hoax.
General: Well, of course it's a hoax.
I just think that
after pearl harbor
they're being
a little bit more choosy.
You understand.
Kal: But between you and me,
the ship is on the base.
Am i right?
General: Sorry, kal.
I can't help you.
[Kal leaves, and is confronted by Max]
Max: Where are they
holding it?
>
Kal: He wouldn't say.
>
Max: Well, someone else
has to know.
Who can you call?
Kal: They won't help us.
Max: You're not telling me
something.
Kal: You've lost it, kid.
Max: Tell me
what you know, kal.
Kal: The ship is here.
Max: Take me to it.
[Mrs. Evans is folding clothes as Isabel walks in]
Mrs Evans: Hi, honey.
How was class?
Isabel: You told max?
That was my news to tell him.
Where did you
even find his number?
Mrs Evans: In your address book.
Isabel: oh, my god.
Mrs Evans: Isabel, let me explain.
Isabel: Don't. Please don't try
to defend yourself.
I ran into Windy today
and she told me that a spot
opened up at Emden pond,
which I specifically
said that I wanted,
and you told her no.
And then you go and tell Max,
knowing full well
that he won't approve.
God, mom, you're acting
like you don't want
his wedding to happen.
Mrs Evans: Maybe I don't.
I thought if i could
just slow things down
that maybe you'd
come to your senses.
Isabel: Why?
Mrs Evans: Because you're making
a mistake, Isabel.
Isabel: A mistake?! I love him.
Mrs Evans: Then date him.
Get to know him.
You don't have to
marry him, Isabel.
Not like this.
Not in 6 months.
For god's sake, isabel.
Isabel: I have been a good daughter.
I have always, always
made responsible decisions.
Why would you think
that now i'm not?
Mrs Evans: It hasn't even been
a year since alex
you graduated
from high school
without a firm plan
for your future.
I mean, your brother--
look what's happening
with Max.
We don't know.
Your whole world
has been torn apart.
It only makes sense that
you would grab ahold
of the first stable
thing that came along.
Isabel: No! That is not
what he is to me.
Mrs Evans: He's not right for you.
Isabel: Why?! Because he's latino?
Mrs Evans: Of course not!
>
Isabel: Then i don't understand why
you don't want this to happen.
I don't see
any other reason for it!
Mrs Evans: Isabel, if you
rush into this
yo 're gonna wake up
someday, sweetheart,
and you are gonna be
a bitter, live-at-home
20-year-old divorcee.
Is that what you want?
Isabel: Thanks for your support, mom.
[Max and Kyle are looking for the ship on the base]
Kal: It's in there.
Max: You can see
through metal?
Kal: No. It's the only building
big enough to hold the ship.
[Max and Kal open the doors to find the ship]
Kal: Well, you got
what you wanted.
I'm leaving.
Oh, I forgot to mention...
You'll need the key.
Max: Oh, I forgot to
mention I have it.
You can't leave.
You're my pilot.
Kal: i'll have to shapeshift
to operate the controls.
Max: My son needs me.
Kal: You're asking me to
throw away everything
i've ever worked for.
Max: You'll never be human,
langley.
Kal: You don't want
to go back there.
This is such
a better place.
Max: I'm gonna find
my son and then
we're coming back.
It won't be that easy.
Max: How do we get this ship
out of here?
Max: Tell me how we do this!
Kal: First, you have to
open up the hangar door,
but not until
i get the ship airborne.
Too soon, the alarm'll
go off and all hell
will break loose.
Max: And then what?
Kal: I lower the entry beam
and you step in
and we're out of here.
Please. Listen to
your human side.
I don't want to go.
Max: shapeshift. Fly the ship.
[Kal Shapeshifts, and enters the ship]
[Liz shows up to talk to Maria with a box of Max's stuff]
Liz: I brought your cd back.
Maria: Good.
Liz: Sure.
There you go.
How about these
peanut butter pretzels?
I know that you
really like those.
Here. Just take them.
The past 3 simpsons on tape.
Really funny episodes.
And why don't you take these
stupid cookies that I made.
And this really ugly,
stupid picture of myself.
Why don't you just
take it all, maria?
Maria: Are we breaking up?
No call?
Liz: Nothing.
And I was totally panicked
unti| I talked to isabel
on the phone
and she told me that max
called her this afternoon.
Maria: Come here.
I feel your pain,
girlfriend.
And you know what?
Whenever this
happens to me,
there's only
one thing I can do,
and that is take it out
on michael.
Let's go to
his apartment right now.
Liz: You know that I have been
with him through all of this.
All of it. Any time
that he needs anything,
I'm there. Right?
And he can't even
pick up the phone.
Maria: Well, this phone
that you speak of,
it's a revolutionary
concept, yes,
but it does work
both ways.
Liz: I know.
[Back on the base, the ship begins to Rise - Max's cell phone rings. Liz's name shows up, and Max puts the phone
back in his pocket. The ship crashes to the ground- alrams go off, and Langley is on the ground]
Max: langley.
Kal: [Weakly] too much damage
from the initial crash.
The generators
overloaded.
Mrs Evans: Hey, you. There's leftover
chicken in the fridge, honey.
Isabel: I didn't come to eat.
I, um...
I came because
a spot opened up
at the wedding pavilion
at summerhaven park.
Mrs Evans: When will your father ever learn
to load this thing right?
Isabel: Jesse and i
are getting married
there in 2 weeks.
Mrs Evans: You're what?
Isabel: Getting married
in 2 weeks.
Mrs Evans: Because
you're mad at me.
Isabel: No.
Mrs Evans: Yes, you are,
isabel.
You're trying to put me
in my place, aren't you?
You and I have been
playing this game for years.
Isabel: No.
This isn't about you.
I came
because I love you
and I would
very much like it
if you would be a part
of what is going
to be the best thing
that has ever happened
to me in my life.
Mrs Evans: I'm sorry,
but I can't do that.
[Knock on door]
Mrs Evans: michael.
Michael: Mrs. Evans.
Come on in.
Michael: Yeah, maria said that you
wanted this back, so i...
Oh, is this a bad time?
Mrs Evans: No. No, not at all.
Isabel, why don't
you see if michael would
like something to drink?
Michael: No, I'm fine. Thanks.
Mrs Evans: Isabel?
Isabel: Excuse me.
[Back at Kal's mansion, Max helps him out of the car]
Max: Langley.
Kal: I destroyed my life
for you tonight,
all for nothing.
Because of you, everything
i've worked for is gone.
Max: Kal.
Kal: It's how you've always been,
your majesty:
Selfish and ungrateful.
Being your protector
might be encoded in my genes,
but after tonight...
I'll never stop hating you.
Max: kal.
You were right.
I slept with the enemy,
then sent my own child
back with her.
It was the biggest mistake
of my life,
and I have to live with it
every single day.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have
dragged you into this.
But I didn't have anything to--
I didn't know what to do.
I'm sorry.
Kal: Think of all the loved ones
you almost left behind.
Your sister...
Girlfriend...
Your mother, who feels like
she's already lost you.
Max: How do you know about them?
Kal: It's my job.
Go home, max.
Don't come back.
Word of advice...
The more you embrace
our alien side...
The more
you're gonna lose.
[Isabel is walking in the park, using her powers to knock out street lights- Michael comes up on his motorcycle]
Michael: That's city property.
What's going on
with your mom?
Isabel: I'm getting married
in 2 weeks
and she told me she wanted
nothing to do with the wedding.
I'm all alone in this,
michael.
Do you have any idea
how that feels?
Max found out the other day.
You can imagine
what his reaction was.
That's why i wanted--
I just--I needed you
to congratulate me
the other night.
You know, can you be
on my side just this once?
Michael: Isabel, you don't care
what i think.
Isabel: How can you say that?
Michael: Because if you did,
then you wouldn't
have had maria
break the news.
Isabel: I'm sorry.
That was stupid.
I just--I was afraid
that you would freak out
and I didn't think
that i could handle it,
so...
I'm sorry.
I know that you're worried
about jesse,
but I'm gonna keep him safe.
Michael: I hope you can.
Isabel: Michael, your opinion
means as much to me as max's.
You're like a brother to me,
too.
Isabel: The point is
to just kind of...
Michael: So in 2 weeks...
Isabel: Less than, actually.
Michael: Congratulations, isabel.
Isabel: Thank you.
[Scene switches to Liz sweeping the floor-- Max knocks and comes in]
Liz: Hi.
Max: Hi.
Liz: When did you
get back?
Max: Just now.
Liz: You didn't call.
Max: I was driving
all night. I--
I just had to get back
to see you.
I-I'm sorry.
Liz: You can't do this,
max.
I love you, but...
You know, lately,
I just haven't been
feeling it back.
Max: I didn't mean to...
Liz: But you did.
Max: liz, i know
you've been here, alone,
waiting for me,
and...
And I've...
It was wrong.
I--
Liz: no! Max.
what, max?
What happened?
Max: I failed.
And my son...
He's up there somewhere.
I've just messed
everything up.
Langley's life.
Yours.
I'm so sorry, liz.
I'm so sorry.
Liz: It's ok.
It's ok.
[Sobs]
Max: I'll never
leave you, liz.
