NIGHT – ROSWELL CEMETERY –
Eliza [Voice-Over] “Every story varies depending on who's telling it, and my sister's story died with her a decade ago. I would give anything to be able to ask her why she made the choices that she did. To understand her. But like so many who died before their time, Rosa took her truth with her. And I'm left here... endlessly searching for it.”
Max found his wife at the graveyard and surprised to see her here at night he spoke up “Eliza”.
Eliza turned to the flash reflection of her sisters’ grave to who was behind her and with a surprised tone in her voice “Max.”
Max replied reminding her of the hours to visit the grave “Uh, this place closes at sunset”.
Eliza explained her reasoning for being here this late “I jumped the gate. It is after midnight, so it is officially the ten-year anniversary of Rosa's accident. So, uh... you gonna arrest me, Officer?” she asked holding her wrists up.
Max: (chuckles) No. Too much paperwork. It will be our secret.
Eliza “Another one.”
Max asked “Want me to drive you home?
Eliza getting out of the car spoke “Weirdly appropriate, getting driven home by my police officer of a husband tonight of all nights. Rosa would be proud.”
Max asked curiously “have you noticed Mira acting weird lately since I told her the family secrets than when I did when she was nineteen and in High School?”
Eliza thought a bit and shaking her head “doesn’t look like it, come on she’s not avoiding you, she loves you, plus with Alex back I think she wants to spend time with him now.”
Max quietly “my poor little girl…”
Eliza “she’s growing up, plus she’s got her boys now to keep her safe.”
Max responded “she’s going to change the world. I knew she would.”
Eliza replied “I know she’s your baby and that’s why it was so hard to tell you.
Max understanding said, “maybe that’s the reason it was so hard to hear it.”
Smiling Eliza nodded “you’ve had enough kisses so you can wait until the morning.”
Max whining “Oh, come on Eliza really?”
Eliza replied “You will know that my feelings are real, not just some sci-fi side effect. My dear idiot husband.”
Max begging “Eliza really we’ve been married for a decade, please?”
Grinning Eliza replied “sorry, but for now, you can suck it.”
(buzzing)
NIGHT – PROJECT SHEPARD BUNKER –
Flint Whitman was at the bunker explaining to Kyle more than he was told. “That's Hector Valenti, your ancestor. Taken the night of the 1947 UFO crash. It was the incident of aggression that was the catalyst for Project Shepherd. Now, you said you saw a handprint last week, Kyle. Take a good look at that. That is your legacy. This project is your legacy. You gonna reject it? If your grandfather knew you were doing that—"
Kyle cut him off “My grandfather and father taught me principles. The Valenti code. If that code includes breaking patient confidentiality to... hunt aliens, my grandpa failed to mention it.”
Flint said in a harsh tone “Confidentiality does not apply to a dead body.”
Kyle emphasizes his words back at Flint “My patient is alive, Flint. It is late. Thanks for the family history lesson, but I am gonna pass... on all this.
Flint replied with a threat “The existence of Project Shepherd is classified, Kyle; if you breathe a word, you become a red-level threat to Homeland Security.”
Kyle sarcastically replied “And my freedoms are no longer protected under American law. I get it.”
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
Jenna came in seeing Max look at the screen while he was clicking his gun “Ooh. Brooding level "teenage girl on a family vacation." (gasps) No. On a road trip with her grandparents. This is serious.”
Max replied laying back on his chair “Yes, well, Britney's mom said I could go to the beach, so... Did you get the traffic cam footage from the Crash down shooting yet?”
Jenna replied “Yes. But Valenti said the shooter was apprehended. Gerardo Guerrara. A witness saw him loitering nearby that night. He went into the county a few hours ago.”
Max grabbed another laptop that was smaller than the other with an apple sign on top of the lid looking at very old security camera footage “Let me see that footage. All the vandalism at the diner has been racially motivated. It is slurs. There are bricks through the windows that say "go back to your own country." I know Guerrara. He would not do that. Ever since the mayor started pushing his anti-immigrant agenda, there have been a lot of convenient witnesses showing up.”
Jenna noticed something on the footage “Wait, zoom in. I recognize those naked cowgirl mud flaps.”
Jenna irritated commented about Wyatt “Wyatt Long. Hate him.”
His sister died in Rosa Parker’s car accident.
Jenna sarcastically with a non-caring tone for the guy “Mm. And now I feel like a duck.”
Max replied whilst slamming the lid closed “That is a motive, Cam.”
Jenna got up scared how Max acting breathing shakily
He saw what happened and apologized “I am sorry. Sorry, I just... A long time ago... I let down Eliza, okay? I just want to do right by her.”
Jenna sighed “We will visit Long after you have had a few hours of sleep. You look like garbage, partner. I am sure she thinks you look Ruggedly handsome garbage, but garbage.”
(Sighs sharply)
(Sliding noise downstairs)
(Loud clatter, crash)
Isobel behind the counter “I cannot find the space jam.” Very irritated
Quietly Mira was alone and walked up watching them.
Michael in the back responded to Isabel “Got it. No alcohol, except for the old man's tequila stash. You should get a liquor license.”
Relieved that it was just her aunt and ½ of her closed triad messing around she walked up. “what the hell are you two doing at this time?”
Michael looked “well, well look who woke up. I did not notice.” He locked the door.
Tired and irritated Mira asked, “What do you want?”
Isabel licking off the jam from her finger replied “Just a little late-night snack.”
As Michael was about to use his telekinesis on one of the knives she overpowered him having the same one grabbing it “I get it. You want to drive me crazy at this late at night.”
Isabel spoke up teasingly “You were hooking up with Kyle Valenti in the Wild Pony parking lot five minutes after Alex came back after four years in Baghdad Iraq.”
Mira reminded about that had tears defending herself” You do not know anything about me. Only Alex does.” She began to walk out but held the door open mid-way hearing him
Michael called out “We know a few things.”
Isabel leaned on the door frame “like you do not really seem to care about anything for that long.”
Michael getting on her case “Let us be clear. You start equalizing how much you care about me and the guys then maybe I will show nice.”
Suddenly without a warning, Max stormed in pushing Michael back hard “Stay away from her!”
Michael defensively raised his voice “you stay away from our business.”
Isabel trying to intervene “Oh! Stop it.”
Max with anger told the two I come by to check on the diner, and you two are terrorizing her now? Hasn't she been through enough? God, she missed Alex what the hell?
Michael got up from the punch as he wiped the injury replied sarcastically “By all means. Whatever it takes to protect your baby girl, Deputy.
Mira got in front to stop the violence “Hey, Dad...” she tried to calm him.
Michael quietly “That is cute.”
Isabel yelled at her younger twin brother angry “What, you are punching him now? What is wrong with you?” as she left the diner.
Mira sighed “I am fine. I had them.”
Max shook his head “No... you lie Mira I know you, they had you in tears.”
She raised her voice just a little “I said I was fine, dad… I didn’t need the help.” Mira stormed out of the café back to the Whitman house where for her it was always safe.
DAY – FOSTER RANCH -
Michael walked up flirting with Mira “You keep showing up like this, I'm gonna start thinking you like me.”
Mira in her now air force uniform and honor badge spoke up “well after you terrorized me last night,” she said with sarcasm in her tone “sorry Guerin Sale of the ranch went through. This land is now the property of the U.S. government. You have 24 hours to move out.” Then switched to serious.
He grabbed her uniform closer to him “Why don't you tell Uncle Sam I'll think about it?”
Grabbing his hand to show she is serious this time said “Guerin. After what you put me through last night I'm simply going to have to ignore you for a bit. That’s my punishment for you.” And she then put her hands behind her back.
Michael caught on and got angry “oh, come on Mira you don’t mean that”
Ignoring that and being a better honorable soldier she said again “don’t make me tell you again, Just move your trailer.”
Observing Alex could see that the training at the base proved she is ready as she walked away hearing Michael call out while she still had her hands behind her back.
Michael wondering what the hell happened to her and said aloud “What's the Air Force want with the land anyway? It's the third dairy ranch you've shut down.”
Alex and Mira turned but Alex replied to Michael “We're building a new facility.”
Michael curiously Well, isn't there some... law about building on a historical site?
Mira talking seriously like a soldier would “What do you mean, a historical...” with sarcasm as she understood “Oh, because the UFO crashed here?” she chuckles “Yeah. We're not supposed to build on top of Santa's workshop, either.”
Getting in the passenger seat of Alex’s jeep
“Nice job partner”. Alex complimented how she handled that.
“I take what I do seriously, I have learned for ten years”. She replied with a serious tone but her smile showed that she is always the same girl and first one of Roswell New Mexico ever as a woman soldier in the military for seventy-one years back in nineteen forty-eight
“I’ll say, let’s get back to the base, Chief Master Sargent would love to hear this report on your first day.”
EVENING – ROSWELL COMMUNITY MEDICAL
Kyle walked in and apologized for keeping Eliza waiting “Sorry. Some lady swallowed a double-A battery.”
Eliza laughs softly “I'm glad you called, I wanted to apologize for fighting with you when you were and no offense, a total ass.”
Kyle replied “It's cool. Mira managed to kick my ass and well, tattle tale to my dad when I was mean to Alex in the outdoor lunch tables, boy she is a hard head.”
Eliza nodded figuring out now a secret her own daughter failed to mention “Hmm, I see, want me to talk to her? Because being a student she can't really tell on her T.A’s to their parents.”
He shook his head “water under the bridge, sadly I can understand being also her primary caregiver.”
Kyle changing the subject back “But let’s get back to what we were talking about, I did want to follow up. That bruise on your shoulder looked pretty bad, and I wouldn't be a very good doctor, or friend, if I didn't give it a second look.
Eliza quickly told him before he started “No. Uh, it's almost gone. I'm fine. Have you told anyone about it?”
Kyle responded “No. Doctor-patient confidentiality. You can trust me, Eliza.
Wondering if she should so she went for it “Could you... um, do you have access to the morgue records? I want to see Rosa's toxicology report. I'm doing this thing where I'm trying to forgive her.
Jasmine Kyle’s little sister had teleported right on time “And how is that going to help you to forgive her?” being twelve and always visiting the hospital she has picked up a few things.
Eliza and Kyle turned to her as she spoke to the little girl “She was an addict... If I can look at it scientifically if I can see the chemicals that made the bad choices for her...” she emphasized why she wanted to look.
Kyle sighed knowing this was going to get even worse
“No, Kyle doesn’t show her, she won’t be too happy with it…” Jasmine warned knowing how she reacts to big stuff such as the autopsy of her sister would set her off.
Kyle looked down to meet her gaze and knelt down to her level “what choice do I have? She will bug me about it.”
Jasmine looked at him as being serious for a twelve-year-old “There’s always a choice plus… it never goes well for a current patient.”
Kyle wondered in his head where is this coming from “I know sis, and where are you getting all this from”
“I’m in the hospital a lot visiting your colleges and patients, so I just observe and listen.”
“I see, you started being a volunteer?” he asked.
She nodded in response
Eliza was impressed “wow, next you could be my lab partner, I don't know, Kyle. Maybe I just need something else to blame.”
Kyle sighed out beaten by two girls and replied “I'll call you when I pull the autopsy.”
Eliza politely replied, “Thank you.”
Jasmine shook her head at Kyle knowing his bad choice is only going to bring regret and pain to those who didn’t deserve it even if they did it to themselves and would look at her figurative aunt “But, Aunt Eliza... If you are gonna forgive her, do not focus on the science. Focus on the memories. Because memories are all we have left in this town”. Her tone was disappointed at her brother and gave her final advice before she departed to go help the kids here.
“Wow, and I always suspected she’d play with whatever girls her age does. Except she did play with the doctor stuff I gave her every birthday and Christmas”. Kyle said impressed “but… she is right”.
EVENING – WILD PONY –
Alex was walking inside the bar knowing somewhere Mira would be here because who else knew her, oh yeah, he did better than anyone but saw Maria talking to him.
Maria teasingly said to Alex “Alex Whitman. Are you lost? This is not your normal scene.”
Alex replied whilst hugging his friend “Yeah, well, besides you, these are not my usual people. Just looking for your typical regular.”
She turned and they were both looking towards Mira “Oh, Your Mira? Agreed. Princess Jasmine. Though I see why you thought she got kind of hot, in sex in a truck, smells like an ocean, never let her out of your sight kind of way.”
Alex chuckled “yeah if you mean trying to keep her out of trouble… again, that magic carpet would be of good use by now for distraction.”
Eliza just walked in “Alex? How are you? Or, um, uh, thank you for your service.” Then looked down at the big wrap around his leg “Oh, my...”
He looked down and explained, “it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt much it’s healing nicely.”
“Why didn’t you ask her for help to mend it?” Eliza referred to her daughter and sighed as she was drinking… again.
Alex defensive “I don’t like taking advantage of her, I’m not that kind of person.”
Eliza acknowledged while she saw the flyer “90s night?”
Maria nodded and replied “Mm-hmm.”
Eliza then asked, “Is this all for Rosa?”
Maria replied, “She was my family, too.”
NIGHT – RADIOLOGY – ROSWELL COMMUNITY MEDICAL –
Jasmine was once again back still having her volunteer work to do but was given a little break looking at the files
“I told you not to do it.” She warned him for the last time.
Eliza heard from the other side angry talking to another nurse “Dr. Valenti knows I'm coming! Kyle, are you in there? I need to see Dr. Valenti now.”
Grabbing the door handle he opened it as Eliza walked in “It's fine. It's okay, she's fine.”
Eliza walked to the table while talking “I have to see Rosa's autopsy. It's important.”
Kyle looked to Jasmine and tried to warn her about this “Listen to me. You can't tell anybody what I'm about to tell you. I need you to trust me. That's the autopsy I found on file.”
She read the records stating what was done “Benzos, barbiturates, blunt force trauma to the head, postm... Postmortem burns to over 80... percent...”
Jasmine observed and could see she’s crashing just pacing around shaking her head because she knew this was going to happen but for her? Nobody would listen to a small child.
Sympathetically Kyle replied, “I'm sorry.”
Eliza spoke disappointed “This is what everybody said I would find. She was a drug addict who drove her car into a tree.”
Kyle sharing a discovery “Maybe. But remember when we were kids and I was at your house when Rosa was rushed to the ER because her appendix burst? This marks her appendix as present.”
Jasmine got up and spoke up “it’s a fake autopsy. I did some digging and I found the real one, but...” she said holding the real file and placed it in front of her.
Given the real file, she opened it and saw the burnt face with a hand mark on her mouth, crying “Rosa...”
Jasmine explained talking to her “Your sister's death wasn't an accident, Eliza. And I know how crazy this sounds, but... I think she was murdered... by an alien.”
NIGHT – WILD PONY –
Alex kept Maria company being the only one there now as they started to talk.
Maria watched and smiled teasing “All right, who's the girl? Oh, come on. I know that look. The night that mystery girl kissed you at the museum. Remember what you said to me?”
Mira came in sitting next to him
“Speaking of…” Maria whispered.
Alex replied to her question “That I'd stay in Roswell, if only she kept kissing me. I was a dumb guy.”
“But, my dumb guy and nerd.” Mira chimed in.
Calmly Alex said, “It was the first time I liked our hometown, though.”
Maria cleaning the bar as she talked “Well, home doesn't have to mean a white picket fence house and a family. It can be a person.” She slowly looked to give him a clue.
He nodded and looked at her “yup, and I have two right here with me.”
NEXT DAY – FOSTER RANCH
Both Alex and Mira went to Foster ranch seeing Michael pack his stuff.
Mira asked walking towards him “Where are you gonna go?”
Michael replied Tennessee.” He joked “cause as you put it “that’s my punishment for taunting you. So I took your word for it.”
Surprised because to Mira he never really did as she said “Really?”
Michael being serious now “No. No, there are a couple of people who still need me here. Pick up, uh, work at the junkyard till I figure something else out.
Relieved she replied “Good.”
Michael asked “Good? You were the one who evicted me.”
Mira replied “I was doing my job… Guerin, I have to obey or I’ll be discharged from the base. But I did think about who I was before… and when I had gone to war.” She spoke in metaphor with her growing up from trouble maker to a soldier who had to obey rules now.
Michael nodded speaking sarcastically “right, right, wouldn’t want to upset chief now do we? I mean now that you are so sudden to become good after ten long years. From where I stand, Whitman you changed.”
Mira wasn’t amused and wondered speaking “Yeah. Okay, then this is fair too Including the way you look at me. That is a problem for me, Guerin. Cause every time you look at me, I fall in love with you all over again, remembering that teenage self who always disobeyed the rules. And I forget that the last ten years even happened. And then you look away, and I remember all over again. And it almost kills me every time!” she emphasized as she cried a little bit.
Michael replied reassuring her “I never look away. Not really.”
She began to walk as he grabbed her by the arm, she only glanced at him and at the floor a few times before walking inside his trailer as she pulled him into a kiss just as she did with Alex at the reunion, He held her by her hips pulling her in kissing her back, she lowered her hand further down as that caused him to moan softly out of pleasure and it felt so good pushing her down on his bed gently he'd take his shirt off as she began to get undressed. Hovering her he sucked on her neck, going low down her stomach in his mind she was downright what Alex said a Goddess as she arched her hips up gripping the sheets once again Michael hovered and looked at her lovingly caressing her cheek beginning hearing her gasp out of pleasure feeling him just having this one time alone with her.
