| MAX: Why am I here? PIERCE: That's what I want to try to find out. PIERCE: I know what you are, and now, you're going to tell me everything. MAX: I'm Max Evans. I live at sixty-twenty-five Murray Lane. You can call my parents. PIERCE: We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. What is the name of your home planet? MAX: Earth. PIERCE: All right. Hard way. ISABEL: What are they doing to him? What if he's already dead? LIZ: No, no, Isabel you can't even talk like that… TESS: Pierce won't kill him. He wants to study him ISABEL: We have to find Max. ALEX: Wha… what makes you think we can go up against alien hunters and win? MICHAEL: What the hell choice do we have? Let him be a pincushion for Pierce? Let him die? ALEX: No. ISABEL: Sometimes I can go into people's heads when they're sleeping. TESS: And you can all do that? ISABEL: I've only done it a few times though. LIZ: Look, if you do it to Max, maybe he can tell you where he is. PIERCE: You know, there's something very strange about your X-rays… PIERCE: You know, I might not have been around in 1947, but I know all about the crash. About the four aliens they captured: two dead, two alive. I've spent my entire career studying the documentation. ALEX: …If I'm holding on to you, maybe you won't get lost. ISABEL: Oh god! Oh my God! MICHAEL: What happened? What happened? ISABEL: Michael, he's so scared. He's so scared. MICHAEL: Ok, Isabel, you've got to calm down. All right? You got to tell me what you saw. We got to help him. ISABEL: Oh god. That deputy… the deputy that stopped us last night, he's Pierce. He's Pierce. ALEX: Are you sure? ISABEL: He told me. And he's drugging him. He's hurting him. LIZ: Where is he? Where… where is… ISABEL: I don't know. I don't know where he is. MARIA: Eagle Rock Military Base. This is where they were said to have secretly taken the aliens after the crash. MICHAEL: Isabel, Tess and I can protect ourselves. MARIA: With what? Your gifts? TESS: When you've been hunted all your life, it gets easier to catch on. PIERCE: What about the orb? The communicator. Wake him up. Wake him up. Tell me. Don't make me kill you. SHERIFF: Mirrors or no mirrors, there were two Max Evans standing right in front of me. SHERIFF: And now one of them is in the hands of Agent Pierce and the Special Unit, and I'm just hoping that it wasn't the one that we all care about. SHERIFF: Well, if Pierce has reached the same conclusion that I have, Max is going to need a lot more help than any of you can give him. MARIA: Let's give them until four o'clock, all right? If they're not back by then… LIZ: Right. Ok. Four o'clock. MICHAEL: If you can get through the damn electric fence, why can't you short circuit the security system? ALEX: What are you going to say? LIZ: Whatever I have to; to get him to help. TESS: Don't ever leave me alone like that again. NASEDO: I have four of you to watch now. MICHAEL: I've been looking for you for a long time. NASEDO: Not as long as I've been looking for you. LIZ: It's Pierce - from the FBI Special Unit. He's the one who has Max. SHERIFF: How do you know that? LIZ: I can't tell you, Sheriff. MICHAEL: Four is stronger than two. We need them. NASEDO: . This is your escape route: scan it. MICHAEL: Scan it? NASEDO: Into your brain. You can't? All right, you have two minutes to memorize it. NASEDO: You have many limitations. NASEDO: They know more about you than you do. They've been studying us for fifty years. MICHAEL: So you're different from me? NASEDO: Biology lessons later.. PIERCE: Don't even try to use your abilities, Max. The serum we injected you with - very effective in suppressing the neurotransmitters in your cerebral cortex. PIERCE: You know, I've been going about this the wrong way the whole time. It's not that you're part alien: it's that you're part human. PIERCE: Virtual reality, Max. It's not real. It's not real. We didn't kill her. We didn't kill her. I just wanted to show you what can happen. What will happen. MAX: You're evil. PIERCE: I'm going to give you a choice, Max. You can either tell me where the other orb is, or you can tell me which one of your friends you want me to kill first. MAX: I'll tell you where it is, just don't hurt Liz. PIERCE: Huh. You do have feelings. Just like us. NASEDO: When you were engineered, you were given the capacity to do everything the human brain is capable of. MICHAEL: You mean besides our powers? NASEDO: Those are your powers, Michael. Everything you can do is human. TESS: I made you think something was happening right in front of you when it really wasn't. ISABEL: That's what you did to Max, isn't it? That's why he had all those thoughts about you. PIERCE: I can take you apart piece by piece, and make sure that you stay conscious enough to feel every second of it. MAX: I can't tell you what I don't know. I can't tell you what I don't know. MAX: Who's inhuman now? NASEDO: Get out of here. You know the escape route. MICHAEL: What are you doing, come on. NASEDO: I have something to take care of. MICHAEL: No! You are not leaving me again. Let's go! NASEDO: There are only seconds left. Go! |
