[Man] Previously on Roswell.
I've never seen the cards fall like this before.
Boy, it's different.
- I didn't do that. - I did.
You healed me, and now I'm different.
Can you please just tell us what this means? Who are you?
Tess is back?
Max's baby is a... is an alien.
So am I.
[Liz] You're not gonna let them throw you in the white room, are you?
No.
[Liz Narrating] I'm not religious, but I've been to church.
I know right from wrong.
And I know it's wrong to benefit in any way from someone else's passing.
But I won't deny that Tess's death has freed me.
Like a dark shadow passed over the sun before the light came flooding back.
It's a brand-new day...
full of possibilities and hope.
I haven't felt like that in a long, long time.
It's different for Max. He lost more than his son.
He lost a sense of direction to his life, a sense of purpose.
He puts up a brave front, but I know.
What are you still doing here? Got a hot for some local waitress?
That's the rumor.
- Have you heard from Northwestern yet? - Still waiting.
You must be nervous.
I'm trying to handle the whole college acceptance thing with grace and aplomb.
- Aplomb? - Yeah, it's an S.A.T. Word...
that I just can't get out of my head.
It's slowly driving me crazy.
Liz...
what if I came with you to Northwestern?
Max, if that's something that you seriously think you could or would do...
then fine, we'll talk about it.
But, otherwise, please don't put me through the whole emotional roller coaster.
[Woman] Excuse me, miss?
I'll be right back.
Thank you.

[Door Opens, Closes]
- Hey, what's wrong? - That woman that just walked out of here...
- What about her? - I think she's gonna be murdered.
- What are you talking about? - She was walking down an alley, and there was a man with a gun.
- Are you telling me that you just saw the future? - I saw something.
We have to go after her.
Around here!
Are you sure that...
[Screams]
- Please! - Max!
[Car Alarm Blaring]
Okay, let's go. Let's go.
[Liz Narrating] The trouble with making plans for the future...
even when you can see the future...
is that fate has a way of intervening...
and upsetting the best-laid plans of mice and men.

So this is for real?
Well, I'm gonna have to get back to you on that.
Yeah. Bye.
What?
Uh, my friend Chris Hobson...
just made partner at, uh, Langtree, Watkins and Sullivan.
They're one of the top law firms in Boston.
That's nice.
They need someone to take over their litigation department.
Oh.
So, Boston, huh? Well, what does it pay?
- 350 to start. - Jesse, get real.
We can't live on 350 a week, especially in that city.
I mean, the cost of living alone must be at least... I don't know.
No, 350 a year.
So you... You mean it's...
- 350,000. - Ayear?
[Laughs] Ayear.
Oh, my God! Honey, that is so great. Oh, my God!
So does that mean I'm taking it? We're going?
Probably.
[Laughs]
So you're clairvoyant now?
I am not clairvoyant. It only happened once.
All right, do you think you can tell me what's gonna happen between me and space boy?
That's probably beyond my capabilities.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Well, at least we'll always have each other, right?
- Yeah, of course we will. - Okay.
- What have you been doing? - It's called working for the man.
- In a sewer? - Close.
Been flushing septic lines for a 1975 R.V.
From Northwestern University.
An acceptance letter?
Well, either that or a ding letter.
[Bell Dings]
Sorry. Your orbit rings are ready.
- I've been accepted! - You haven't even opened it yet.
I did! I got in!
Woo-hoo!
I gotta do something with my life.
Anyway, thanks for taking this meeting.
Meeting? You just said you were springing for lunch.
Right, but I thought we could talk a little.
Are you gonna complain?
Look, trailer sewage is part of the job, buddy. [Laughs]
It's not about that.
It's just... that I've actually... I've been thinking about my future.
Oh, so it's a money thing.
Well, look. All the salaries are frozen.
You ever watch TV? We're in the middle of a recession.
- No, it's not that. - I can't be doling out money just left and right.
Um...
I think that I have a lot to offer.
Maybe we can expand. One day even open up a new garage.
Anyway, I was just...
I was wondering if you'd consider taking on a partner.
Partner?
Look, I'm sorry, but that's not the way things work.
You're a kid. You're not even my mechanic.
You're an assistant.
Yeah, you're right. Let's just drop it.
"Partner." Sounds a little crazy. [Laughs]
[Man] One of my men picked this out of the rubble a couple of nights ago.
Is she the... thing that destroyed our base?
- Possibly. - There are several candidates.
Can the Special Unit deal with this?
The Special Unit no longer exists.
- Neither does this meeting. - Right.
However, the members of the unit do remain in contact with one another.
Then you can take care of this?
That's why you contacted us, isn't it, General?
We lost a lot of good people at Rogers.
I don't want it to happen again.
When this is over...
these creatures will never bother anyone ever again.
- Congratulations. - You said that already.
Oh.
But I like the way you say it.
- You college girls. - Hey, we wanna be loved for our minds, not our bodies.
Are you serious? I mean, about wanting to come with me?
I've never been more serious.
What a great... mind you have.
Oh, I don't think that's my mind.
But keep looking. I'm sure you'll find it.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Remember, I can tell the future.
And tonight, your future looks very, very bright.
[Gunshot]
- [Shudders] - What?
We're all gonna be killed.
It was terrible. We were all killed. I saw it.
- "All" as in everybody? - Max, Isabel, Michael and... me.
I dream we all get whacked every other night. Why the meeting?
Liz started to have premonitions...
from touching people.
Uh, she saw a woman about to be killed in an armed robbery.
We followed them, and we were able to stop it.
You believe it? You think this could really happen?
I think we should all take this seriously.
Okay. So where do we get popped, when do we get popped, and who pops us?
I don't know. The flashes were sort of impressionistic.
We need more information.
Where were you? Where were you when you had the flashes?
Here.
You just said you got these flashes from touching people.
We were.
I... was touching people.
How cozy.
I think we should just focus on what we should do next.
Right. Uh, we should all stay on guard.
Liz and I will attempt to, uh...
Achieve another flash?
It seems like the thing to do.
So I, uh... I take it I have no homework, right?
Okay. So, uh, I gotta speak to you, space boy.
We have an appointment tomorrow.
So what do you want out of this relationship?
I mean, where do each of you see yourselves, say, five years from now?
The current theory is I'm gonna be dust.
- Dust? - Dead.
Kaput. Finito Michaelito.
No offense. Could we get to the part where you...
take out your crystal ball and...
- I want to get back in time for W.W.F. - I apologize for him.
Michael, please. I really... I need for you to try and help me figure this out.
You're the one who broke up with me two seconds after you sucked face with your ex-boyfriend.
What about that thing with Courtney last year?
Those were extenuating circumstances. She was a Michael-worshipper.
There are always extenuating circumstances, aren't there?
You know what? I'm just sick of it. I am sick of it, Michael.
Um, I apologize. Uh... See, we're hopeless.
Maria, would you mind if I speak to Michael alone for a few minutes?
Why? I wanna hear everything you have to say.
This is not about you and Michael.
This is... much bigger than your relationship.
Of course it is. [Scoffs]
Everything always is, isn't it? Okay.
Michael, something bad is about to happen.
Very bad.
And there's only one way to keep it from happening.
You must believe in the love.
"Believe in the love"?
I have no idea what that means.
I know you don't. But try to.
It could save your life and others.
I think you're a fraud.
So you don't forget.
Come on. She's a flake. Let's go.
I don't believe this! You are not gonna tell me what she said?
- You know, this is so indicative... - Shut up!
Tough job.
Yeah. Somebody's gotta do it.
So what's happening to me, Max?
I mean, what does this mean. Am I becoming one of you?
I don't know. But whatever is happening, we're together now.
[Gunshot]
Did you see something?
I saw you get killed again.
Oh, my God. Wait a second. There was someone there. I've seen him before.
Who was it?
That face. I know I've seen that face before.
Where is that...
This is him.
He was there the moment that you got... the moment that you got killed.
- He was giving a speech or something. - Bryce McCain?
He's gonna be the guest of honor at the U.F.O. Convention.
- We die June 12. - That's less than two weeks.
We have 12 days to figure out how to stop it.
So who's this Bryce McCain?
He's a science-fiction novelist, and he'll be at the U.F.O. Convention.
We have less than two weeks before we're all killed.
[Maria] God, how does this happen? And why now?
It probably has something to do with Tess destroying the base.
Maybe they found your mom's videotape.
- What, now it's my fault? - I'm just saying they put it together pretty quick.
Look, it's not going to help to point fingers, okay?
He's right. We need to come up with a plan as a team.
A team? Look at us. It's ridiculous.
- Michael, you're not helping. - She's right.
Okay, fine then, help. What's the plan?
I won't make this decision for everyone.
I'm givin' up the throne.
I'm not a king. And you're not my second-in-command.
And you're not a princess.
We're just fighting for our lives.
Well, then we need to start planning on how to fight back.
I got a better idea.
Why don't we get outta Dodge before they land on us? We leave.
- And where do we go? - Anywhere but here.
I mean, let's face it. They know who we are. It's over.
We leave Roswell. We leave fast, and we leave as quietly as we can.
- We all go separately. - Separately?
Right now, we're safer as individuals than we are as a group.
I mean, what are we all gonna do if we go together? Get a van?
We go quietly into the night. Each of us on our own.
If they get some of us, maybe they don't get all of us.
[Valenti] Wait a minute. We all go?
Right now, the only ones in danger, according to the crystal ball here...
are me, Max, Isabel and Liz.
So the rest of you are safe. You can stay here.
- Oh, so now I'm not invited. - Maria...
[Scoffs] You're just... You're just gonna leave me here?
I mean, you know... This is incredible. This is perfect.
This is just a perfect way to end this entire stupid thing.
Forget it. Fine. Good-bye. Good luck.
Hey, let me.
If we're gonna go, we shouldn't hesitate.
We should start leaving right after graduation.
One at a time.
And we don't look back.
[Bird Cawing]
[Liz] Maria!
- What! - No, wait!
Maria, what is your problem? What's your problem?
I have risked my life. I have given up everything.
I mean, every other friend I've ever had, I've completely blown off.
My mother doesn't even know me anymore.
And now that it's all over, you're one of them.
You're gonna go off with them and leave me in Roswell...
and I'm gonna be stuck here as a waitress for the rest of my life.
Can you really look at me and say this?
I am most likely about to get killed in 12 days.
And what are you saying? You are saying that you are pissed off...
because you're not getting killed too.
Yes. I don't... I'm falling apart here, Liz.
Okay? I know I'm ridiculous right now. I know I sound crazy, but...
All I have heard for the past five months...
is how you want out of the alien chaos, and now, what, you want back in?
Maria, Maria. Which one is it? Do you want in, or do you want out?
I don't know. I don't know. Which one is better for me?
You can see the future, Liz. Please, tell me.
Hold my hand. Maybe you'll have a flash.
- Which one is better for me? - Maria, Maria, Maria.
Listen. You've got to stop, okay?
Who knows? All right.
I can see the future, and I have no idea.
Look, maybe you just...
you need to try and decide what you want and then go get it.
Okay?
[Valenti] So I guess we stay here, huh?
Yeah, this'll be fun. We can take bets on when they're gonna repossess our house.
- I made a call on your behalf. - What are you talking about?
- What's this? - A deputy's badge.
Sheriff Hanson wants to give you a shot in the sheriff's office.
Dad, this is the last thing I want to do with my life.
Being a cop like you and Grandpa, that's my worst nightmare.
Do whatever the hell you want. But this badge is an honor.
Being a law enforcement officer is not a nightmare.
- It's a dream. - It's your dream.
Why the hell are you calling in favors to get me a badge anyway?
In all this time, you haven't lifted a finger to get your own badge back.
I'll call Boston and tell them to give the job to someone else.
No. Take the job. We'll go to Boston.
We'll figure out a way. I'm not gonna let this stop us.
- Isabel, are you sure? - Yes. Take the job.
I can't believe it's all ending this way.
Well, I'm not graduating, so I guess I'll be the first to leave.
- Michael, look. - Uh, I'm traveling light so you can have my Metallica CDs.
I know things between us have been a little, uh...
Hey, Maxwell, don't, 'cause I can't.

[Man] The sooner you help us, Mrs. Mills, the sooner you can return home.
They helped me. They saved my life.
I'm sure your two children will be very happy to see you.
It's getting late.
Thank you.
Can I go now?
You were never here.
You never saw us.
These four.
This is everyone. Now we can move.
- Where? - Someplace where they're all together, indoors.
A facility we can lock down.
Someplace where they won't expect it to happen.
- I thought you were leaving. - I am.
But I just wanted...
I don't know.
To say good-bye?
I wanted to say that this whole thing has been screwed up from the beginning.
You and me. Us.
Just the whole long, stupid story.
Thanks.
But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
It's meant so much to me. You know, from day one.
From the moment that I kidnapped you and stole your car...
I knew you were the girl for me.
I never wanted anyone else.
- Michael... - I still don't.
Just...
Wherever I'm going, whatever I'm doing...
just know I'll always love you.
Wait. No, wait. Y-You just can't say that and then...
Liz, I've been thinking about what happened before.
We saved that woman's life.
I know.
I just... I have this weird feeling about it.
Oh, what do you mean?
I've just been feeling like...
I have no path, you know?
Nowhere to go.
And maybe... Maybe that's why I've been put here...
to help people.
Maybe that's what I should do with my life after I leave Roswell.
Like Tom Joad in Grapes of Wrath.
Doing good deeds and avoiding the law.
The thing is, I can't do that without you.
I would do anything if it means being with you.
A trick I learned from Superman.
Let's see if it really works.
[Straining]
Oh, my...
Liz, they're taking our home from us.
They want to kill us and...
they might.
But when I look in your eyes, l...
I don't feel angry or deprived.
I feel like the luckiest half-human on the planet.
You're pure.
You're... You're true and...
You're real.
And right now, that seems like the only thing that's important.
I want to be with you, Liz.
Forever.
Forever may only be 12 days.
Then we'll take those 12 days...
and we'll live 12 lifetimes.
Liz Parker...
will you marry me?
Yes.
After graduation.
Okay.
[Cheering, Whistling]
[Man] Congratulations.
Congratulations. As we continue to honor our senior class...
we'd like to give them a few of our own words of wisdom...
before we send them out into the world as high school graduates.
So now it's my pleasure to introduce our special guest for this evening...
a three-time Hugo Award winner for excellence in science fiction...
and an international best-selling author...
- Bryce McCain. - [Applause, Cheering]
- [Cheering Continues] - [Inaudible]
Much of my work is about the possibility of alien life.
Of course, that's fiction.
But the truth is that we're all aliens, really, in our own way...
especially in high school. [Continues, Indistinct]
[Man On Radio] This is Viceroy. All shooters, report in, please.
[Man #2 On Radio] This is Bulldog. My target is in the clear.
[Man #3 On Radio] This is Terrier. My target is in the clear.
[Man #4 On Radio] This is Pointer. My target is in the clear.
This is Viceroy. All shooters stand by.
Do not fire until the rest of the unit has arrived.
Repeat. Do not fire until the rest of the unit...
has arrived to provide crowd control and secure the facility.
[Engine Starts]
When I sat down to write this speech...
I was struck by the similarities between what I do...
and the situation that you find yourselves in now.
Believe in what could be.
About having faith...
that life and the universe holds more than what we perceive.
- [Murmuring] - As you contemplate...
[Bulldog] We've got movement. The target is active. Target is active.
[Viceroy] Bulldog, maintain target. Keep the kid in your sights.
[Bulldog] What the hell is he doing?
You need to leave the building right now.
- What? - It's for your own safety.
Just walk away.
[Audience Murmuring]
Hi, I'm, uh... I'm Max Evans.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to, uh...
to say a few things on behalf of myself and the graduating class.
[Murmuring]
- [Terrier] I've lost target. - [Pointer] So have I.
[Bulldog] Bulldog still has a lock.
[Max Continues] Some of us are... are here tonight...
to walk across this stage and get our hard-earned diplomas...
and toss our caps in the air.
But there's another group here tonight...
a group of people who are here for another reason altogether.
They're here to say good-bye.
- This is it. - Good-bye to their high school lives.
Maybe in my next life.
Good-bye to their families and friends.
- What's going on? - [Sighs] Max and I have to leave.
There's no time to explain, but Jesse will give you the details.
- Isabel, no... - Mom and Dad, I love you so much.
I am so grateful that you know the truth.
[Philip] We love you.
I'm sorry.
[Max] You see, this... this group has been through a lot...
and tonight is the night...
they've decided to call it quits.
It's been a long, hard road for them.
They have a lot of... wounds.
They've lost people...
people that were close to them.
They've had each other to cling to.
But tonight, that's all coming to an end.
What's going on? Do you have them or not?
This is Pointer. I don't see her.
This is Terrier. I've lost my target too.
Bulldog still has a clean shot. Should I take him?
Wait one. We're almost in position.
I'm a member of that group of...
outsiders.
I always knew I was different.
And for a long, long time...
all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd.
But in the end, it wasn't possible.
I guess it never was.
So from now on, I'll just...
concentrate on being who I really am.
And some of you might not like that.
Some of you might even find that frightening.
But that's not my problem anymore.
I have to be who I really am...
and let fate take care of the rest.
So thank you, Roswell.
Thank you for... for letting me live among you.
Thank you for giving me a family.
Thank you for giving me a home.
We're in position. Take him.
[Bulldog] What?
Lost my target. Lost my target! Can't see anything.
What the hell's goin' on?
- [Man] Maintain targets. Maintain targets. - Let's go!
Modesty prevents me from taking a bow.
They probably don't know anything about you, Kyle. You could still go back.
Even if by some miracle they haven't put me together with the rest of you guys...
there's still the matter of my latent alien powers.
Someday, I'll be buzzing and crackling like tin foil in a microwave...
and I'd just as soon be with my own kind when it happens.
Does he really get to start referring to us as his own kind?
I'm not going back either.
No?
No. My future's here.
Maria, think about what you're saying.
I have, and this is my choice, and this is what I want.
And whatever that is in the end, that's what it'll be.
But we're doing it together.
- So now we're six. - Like I said, we're gonna need a van.
[Vehicle Approaching]
Look, don't. Wait, wait! Don't shoot or blast...
or whatever it is that you do, okay?
I'm going with you.
No. Jesse, you can't.
To hell with Boston and-and...
to hell with a career and a normal life, whatever that is.
I love you. That's all that matters to me.
The fact that you would come here...
and you're willing to do this...
it means more to me than you will ever know...
- but I can't let you do it. - Isabel...
No. I dragged you into this whole thing...
without ever telling you the truth and it was wrong.
The only way to make it right is to let you go.
So go. Go to Boston. Start over.
Just have the life you were supposed to have before you met me.
I am not going without you.
You have to.
Will you come back to me?
I will keep praying that some day it will be safe enough.
Oh. I'm going to count on that.
I love you.
[Police Radio, Indistinct]
[Engine Off]
I hear I missed quite a ceremony.
[Laughs]
I don't think they're gonna forget the class of 2002.
That's a nice outfit. Deputy.
Yeah. Yeah, well, when you're starting over, you gotta start somewhere, right?
- Right. - I, uh...
I won't ask you where you're going, so I can honestly say I don't know.
But I can tell you there are a lot of people looking for you.
Right now they think you're headed south to Mexico.
- Why do they think that? - I guess they got an anonymous tip.
I can get you to Arizona. Then you're on your own.
- I mean, you're really on your own. - Thanks, Dad.
It's the least I could do.
I mean... [Clears Throat]
Thanks for...
Just thanks.
I love you, Dad.
I love you too.
All right.
[Liz's Voice] I can't tell you much more than that.
It wouldn't be safe, for you or for us.
I can tell you that we're far away...
and that we're all trying to avoid the law and do good in the world.
[Bells Ringing]
Oh, and I guess I should tell you that...
Max and I did eventually tie the knot.
Give my love to Mom.
Let her read this journal too.
Then give it to Maria's mom...
and after that, take it and burn it...
out in the desert by the ruins of the pod chamber...
where my husband was born.
So that's the end.
Our life in Roswell.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
Will we ever go back?
I don't know.
Even I can't see everything in the future.
All I know is that I'm Liz Parker...
and I'm happy.
