~~Liz writing in her journal on her roof.~~
Liz writing: September 23, journal entry one. I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died. After that thingsgot really weird.


Liz in her fathers diner.Liz to the customers: I have got one Sigourney Waver.
Liz: That's for you and one Will Smith. Can I get you guys anything else? Green Russian Shake, Blood ofAlien Smoothie?
Guy to Girl: You? No. to Liz: We're good. Thanks.
Liz: Hey are you guys here for the crash festival?
Girl: Yeah. Can't Wait. So does anyone in your familycome for Roswell?
Liz: Just four generations.
Guy: Really? Uh, well. Does anyone in your family have some stories from the UFO crash.
Liz: I guess it would be okay to show you guys this.~~Hands them picture.~~
Man: I don't want to hear any words anymore. I want to see the money on the table.
Maria to the two men fighting over money: Refill?
Man: No get out of here.
Liz: My grandmother took this picture at the crash site right before the government cleaned it up.
Lady: Do people know about this photograph?
Liz: I know about it and now you know about it.
Girl: Wow.
Liz: I'm going to be right back. Don't show it toanyone.
Guy: Yeah.
Maria: You are so bad girl. Oh and Max Evens is staring at you again.
Liz: No way. Maria, that is so in your imagination. Max Evans? This? ~~points to her chin (face)~~ No,uh-uh. It's not...
Maria: And with those cheeks? Preciosita tan linda.
Liz: Maria! No, okay. I'm mean even if it were, I'm going out with Kyle. He's steady and loyal and heappreciates me.
Maria: Sounds like you are describing a poodle.
Man 2 yelling: Tomorrow.
Maria: LIZ!
Man 1 yelling: I came here for the money today nottomorrow.
Man 2:You don't need the money if you're dead! ~~Pulls a gun and grabs the other man by the shirt.~~
Everyone gets down but Liz. The gun goes off and hitsLiz. Liz falls.
One of the men: Come on! Come on! ~~The two men runout of the cafe.~~
Maria crawls around and sees Liz. Maria: Liz...Liz...
Max sees Liz on floor behind counter crawls out of booth and starts to walk toward her.
Michael: What are you doing? ~~Grabs Max~~
Max: Let go of me. ~Pushes Michael away. ~~Maria: Liz?
Max: Call an ambulance.
~~Pushes Maria out of the way.
Rips Liz's uniform open and sees the blood pooling on her stomach.~~ It's going to be okay. ~~Whispers toLiz.~~ Girl: Oh my God.
Michael: Hey get back. Max: Liz...Liz...you have to look at me.
Maria: I need an ambulance
Max: You have to look at me.
~~Puts his hand on her stomach gets images of her when she was little. She wakes up.~~
MAX: You're all right now. You're all right.
~~Siren~~
Michael: Keys! Now! ~~Snaps his fingers.~~
~~Max breaks ketchup bottle on counter. Pores it on Liz's stomach~~ You broke the bottle when you fell. You spilt ketchup on yourself. Don't say anythingplease.
Liz gets up.
Maria: Liz, are you okay.
Liz watches out the window as Max jumps in the jeep and drive off with Michael.
Dad: ~~Walks into the cafe.~~ Lizzy! Oh my god.
Liz: No. Dad, look at this. I'm fine I just spilt ketchup. Really I'm okay
Dad: Are you sure?
Liz: yeah.
Maria talking to the Deputy: The guy with the gun, right, was kinda like a, like a muscular Beavis and then the other one was like a beefy Butt Head.
Deputy: I'm going to need a better description than that. I'm assuming they weren't cartoons.
Maria: excuse me.
~~Sniffs something form a bottle as the Sheriff walks in. Cypress oil. It um...reducesstress.
Sheriff to Liz: You okay?
Liz: Uh yeah thanks, I'm just a little shaken up.
Deputy: Sheriff, the suspects ran out after the incident occurred. couple of outsiders. No injuries except for the girl who fell. Just sounds like an argument that got out of hand.
~~To the guy and girl.~~ Hey I told you two to stay out of there.
~~ To Sheriff~~ Couple of tourist in town for the crash.
Guy: Uh, Sheriff? Hi. I'm sorry. I really need to talk to you. I think something happened here.
Sheriff: What do you think happened?
Guy: The gunman was standing over there right? And the shot was fired in this direction. Now Jan and I have searched this place up and down and...I mean, where'sthe bullet?
Deputy: We haven't found a bullet hole yet Sheriff.
Guy: Yeah and Sheriff before it happened, the girl gave me this.
~~Shows picture of aliens, Sheriff takesthe photo.~~
Sheriff: Jack
~~hands picture to Liz's dad.~~
Jack: Lizzy. Liz: Dad
Jack: I told you no showing the alien photos to thetourist. Liz: I'm sorry
Sheriff walks over to the table where Max and Michael were sitting and picks up a Tabasco bottle.
Jan: There were two kids sitting over here when it happened. Two boys about her age.
~~points to Liz.~~
and one of them...
Liz: That's right there were. Um you know, I didn't recognize them, so they must have just been tourist.
Guy: No. No, it sure looked like that she knew them to me.


Liz in her room. Looks at her self in the mirror and puts her finger through the bullet hole in her uniform. Then she looks at her backpack on her bed. Takes off her coat and uniform. She puts the uniform in here backpack and closes it. Then she walks by the mirror and sees the silver hand print on her stomach.


~~Next day in Bio lab.~~ Teacher: okay. We spent the last week talking about genus and phylum, and now we're going get a little more specific and talk about the difference between species. For today's experiment you're going to be working in teams of two.
~~Max walks in late.~~ Mr. Evans, so nice to have you to join us.
~~Max sits beside Liz and puts pencil in his mouth~~
okay Everyone on the right prepare a slide for the vegetable sampling. Everyone on the left get a toothpick and take a sampling from your check.
Max stands up.
Teacher: Mr. Evans?
Max: Can I get a bathroom pass?
Teacher: High maintenance today aren't we?
~~Hands him pass and he leaves.~~
It's very easy to look on the outside and say what differentiates humans from other species. But what about what's on the inside. ~~Liz takes the toothpick from the teacher and swabs her mouth.~~
Everyone look at the human cells and describe what you see on your lab sheets.
Liz prepares her slide and looks in the microscope. Then she takes Max's pencil and makes a sample and puts it on the slide and looks at it through a microscope. She's surprised by what she sees.
Bellrings.
Liz: Max! Max! Excuse me.
~~Pushes her way through the students.~~
Max, I have to talk to you.
~~Grabs to hisarm and leads him off.~~
Walk into band hall and find Kyle drumming on thetimpani. Liz: Kyle!
Kyle: Hey.
Liz: Hey.
Kyle: Hey Max
Max: Hey
Kyle: So did you get my message?
Liz: Oh, yeah, I did. I was just a little...
Kyle: Shaken up.
Liz: That's what I was.
Kyle: I know. My dad told me about the gun going off. Are you okay?
Liz: Oh, yeah, I am. It was just loud and then it wasover.
Kyle: You guys are...
~~Points to Max.~~
Liz: Um we're looking for a place... to study for ourBio midterm.
Kyle: Oh right, right okay Biology. All right, I wasleaving anyway.
Liz: Great, um, that's good.
Kyle: Oh I got my costume for the crash this Friday.
It's great. Liz: Kyle? We've got to study. Sorry.
Kyle: Right. See ya Max.
Max: So you're going out with Kyle Valenti?
Liz: Um, yeah. well, it's kinda like this, this casual...Max can we just focus her for one minute please?
~~Max puts his books down and looks up as Liz raises her shirt up to show him the silver handprint.~~
Max: Wow.
Liz: Um...I scraped some cells from your pencil. This is really very hard to say. I'm trying very hard to keep from blacking out here. Um.. the cells weren't normal. So Max, what I'm gonna suggest to you is that we just go back into the Bio lab now so that I can take a samples so I see what I'm thinking is wrong, you know? That I got the wrong cells.
Max: You didn't.
Liz: okay. Um...so help me out here Max. I mean...whatare you.
Max: Well, I'm not from around here.
Liz: Where are you from?
~~Max points up.~~
Up north.
~~He points higher up. Liz looks up.~~
You're not an...an...a...alien. I mean...are you?
Max: Well, I prefer the term "not of this earth". Sorry, it's not a good time to joke. Yeah I am. Wow, it's weird to actually say it.
~~Liz grabs her books and starts to walk off.~~
Liz...
Liz: Um, Max... you know, I'm going to be late for my U.S.. government class, so I'm just....
Max: Liz, listen to me. You can't tell anyone about this. Not your parents, not Maria, no one. You don't understand what will happen if you do. Liz, please. Now my life is in your hands.
~~Liz looks at him andwalks out the door.~~


~~In cafeteria.~~
Alex: It says right here that shots were fired but no one was injured.
Maria: Then were is Liz, I mean why is she avoiding me? okay, first of all, Liz is never late, right? She comes into homeroom today and goes and sits next to Pam Troy. She like hates Pam Troy and, like, goes about admitting it openly. Alex, are you listening tome?
Alex: Yeah, yeah, Maria I'm listening to you , but this is just you being you all right? Liz is fine nothing happened, it's all right here in black andwhite.
~~Some taco place in the middle of nowhere and a radio advertisement for the crash festival.~~
Isabel: I can't believe this Max. I finally feel like I have a quasi normal life here and you blow it all with one random act of lunacy. ~~To Michael~~ How did you let my misguided brother do this?
Michael: Hey, don't turn this around on me. I'm not the one who thinks he's a superhero.
Max: Look, I said I was sorry.
Isabel: You're sorry? You broke a sacred pact, and that's all you have to say? It's against the rulesMax, the rules we made.
Max: You use your powers all the time.
Isabel: Recreationally.
~~Puts her hand over her food and "eats it" ~~
The important thing is to curtail this. We just have to figure out what to say to Miss Scientist.
~~Looks at Max.~~
Oh my God, you told her.
Max: I didn't have a choice. It's going to be okay. Isabel: Don't you realize that everything has changed?
Max: No it hasn't.
Michael: Max, she's right it had. it's time to leave roswell.
~~Getting up. Max and Isabel follow.~~
Max: Michael, we just can't leave.
Michael: Yeah, we can. We always known this day would come and said when it did we'd be prepared.
Isabel: Michael, where are were going to go? You know,Roswell's home.
Michael: Roswell's not home. Its' not even our solarsystem.
Max: This is the closest thing we have to home rightnow.
Michael: For you two maybe. It's you that the Evans found on the side of the road. They're like real parents to you. My foster dad just keeps me around for the monthly check.
~~As they get in the jeep.~~
Max: It's going to be okay. We should just...lay low, go back to school and act normal.
Isabel: Act normal? Is that your big plan, Max? Don't you realize it's only a matter of time before they find us and turn us over to some government agency where they're gonna test us and prod us and...oh yeah, exterminate us?
~~Drive off.~~
~~Back at the school. Liz walks into the bathroom. Washes her face off. Maria comes out of one of thestalls.~~
Liz: Hey
Maria: I called like thirty seven times.
Liz: I know, I'm sorry.
Maria: Liz, what happened yesterday?
Liz: What do you mean Maria? You were there, you saweverything.
Maria: Did I? 'cause this isn't catsup. This looks a lot like blood to me. What did Max do to you?



~~Back with Max, Michael, and Isabel driving down theroad.~~
Max: Isabel could you please not do that.
Isabel: Oh, yeah, like listening to a CD is theproblem.
Max: I couldn't just let her die.
~~Siren.~~
Isabel: is he pulling us over?
Michael: Max, go, lets get out of here.
Max: Can't start acting guilty.
~~Siren again. Max pulls over on side of road.~~
He always pulls kids over. He does it all the time, it nothing.
Michael: Yeah, nothing.
~~Sheriff gets out and walks to where they are parked on road side.~~
Sheriff: Can I see your licenses and registrationplease.
Max: Of course officer.
~~Hands Sheriff licenses andregistration.~~
Sheriff: Thank you Mr. Evans.
~~Sheriff hands it back to Max.~~
We had a little trouble at the CrashDown cafe yesterday. You kids be careful out there.
Max: Yes sir.
Sheriff: ~~Hears a bottle clank, looks down in floorboard and sees a Tabasco bottle.~~
Watch yourspeed. Arrive alive.
Max: We will.
~~Goes to start the engine again, but Michael takes the keys.~~
Michael, everything is goingto be okay.
Michael: No it won't. Our cover is blown. And I'm not going to hang around and wait for them to catch us.
Max: No one is caught yet. I mean, we don't even knowif there is a them.
Michael: What happened to our parents? What happened to everybody else on the ship? They didn't disappear. They were killed, and you know that.
Max: Liz won't tell anyone. She's different.
Michael: Really, so how did she react when you told her? "Great, you're an alien. That's fantastic. Excellent."
~~Isabel smiles, and Max just looks at him~~
I didn't think so.
~~Throws keys back to Max.~~
Isabel: Thought I was pissed.
~~That night after Liz and Kyle went on a date, in front of her house.~~
Liz: Well, good night.
Kyle: Oh, right, right. Listen Liz, you've beensomewhere else all night.
Liz: I know. I'm sorry.
~~Kyle nods.~~
Kyle, do youever wonder...
Kyle: Do I ever wonder what?
Liz: When you see me, do you...feel things?
Kyle: Yes, of course. I feel things. Like what?
Liz: Forget it. I don't know what I was talking about. I'm just going to go get some sleep.
Kyle: All right.
~~Liz reaches up to grab the key on over hang and her shirt comes up and reveals thehand.~~
Liz?
Liz: Good night Kyle.
Kyle: Good night Liz.


~~Liz is sitting on her roof when she hears Max.~~
Max: Liz!
~~Liz gets up and walks over to the edge of the roof.~~
MAX: I have to talk to you.
Liz opens the door to the cafe and lets him in.
Max: I can imagine how you must feel right now. I mean, I've thought about telling you a thousandtimes.
Liz: You have? me?
~~Max half smiles.~~ What?
Max: I just, ah, keep picturing you in that dress withthe, uh, cupcakes on it.
Liz: What?
Max: Forget it. It was a long time ago.
Liz: Oh, my god. That's...that's right. I can't believe I actually wore that thing. I had that dress in kindergarten. I didn't know you until the third grade. Did you like read my mind or something?
Max: No I don't read minds. When I healed you I made this, I don't know this, connection, and I got this rush of images. The image of that dress flashed into my mind and I knew how you felt about it. Liz: How did I feel about it?
Max: It was the single supreme embarrassment of your life. But your mom made it for you. She was so proud of it. She had never made a dress before. So you wore it for her sake.
~~Liz nods yes slightly.~~ I've never tried this before, maybe I can make the connection go the other way. So you can see ya know, that I'm still me. I have to touch you.
~~ She nods slightly again and he puts his hands on either side of her head.~~
Now just take deep breaths...and try to let your mindlank out.
Liz thinking about what she saw: l could feel everything he was feeling. I could feel his loneliness. For the first time I was really seeing Max Evans. I saw me as he saw me. And the amazing thing was, in his eyes I was beautiful.
Max: ~~Takes his hands away.~~ Did it work?
~~Liz nodsyes.~~


In school next day.
Shows Max walking down thehallway. Liz thinking leaning up against a wall: It's like my whole life changed in an instant.
~~In Bio lab with Max. They are around a skeleton looking at the bones.~~
It's just so ironic that when something like this finally happened to me,
~~on bleachers outside.~~
it was with an alien.

~~In band hall.~~
Alex: ~~Walks in.~~ Hey.
Liz: Oh, hey. Have you seen my book bag anywhere?
Alex: No, I haven't. Um can I talk to you for asecond?
Liz: Yeah, what's up?
Alex: Well, I'm your friend, and I'm Maria's friend too. So if you lie to her it's sorta like lying to me.
Liz: Alex, what did Maria say to you?
Alex: Well, frankly it's vague, I mean, everything needs to be put through the Maria filter, but she said something about how she found blood on your orderbook? What's going on?
Liz: Alex, Maria is a total trauma queen. You knowthat. Nothing is going on.
Alex: Oh well, look, all I care about is that you're okay. So you are right? You're okay?
Liz: I'm okay.
Alex: All right.
Liz: okay.
Alex: And whatever happened is over now.
Liz: It is totally over.
Alex: okay.
Liz: okay. ~~Man in a suit (maybe principal?)and the Deputy walkin.~~
Man in suit: Here she is.
Deputy: Miss Parker, the Sheriff needs to ask you some questions.


~~Sheriff's office.~~ Sheriff: Good afternoon Miss Parker. Your father said it'd be okay if I talked to you. sorry to have to show you these.
~~Pulls out pictures of a corpse with the same hand print.~~
This man was found dead with no apparent cause of death. except...this
~~Shows a clearer picture of hand print on the man's chest~~
What do you make of that mark?
Liz: I've never seen anything like that before.
Sheriff: Kyle said he saw a similar mark on yourstomach.
Liz: He was wrong.
Sheriff: I'm sure. Kyle's got a pretty wild imagination. I'm gonna need to see for myself Liz.
Liz: Come on Sheriff. I told you that I spilled catsup. I said that, like, a thousand times.
Sheriff: Please.
~~Liz reluctantly gets up and raises her shirt. The mark isn't there when she looks down.~~
The mark faded on the corpse too. What do you knowabout a kid named Max Evans?
Liz: Max Evans? Um...I don't really know him all thatwell.
Sheriff: Was he one of the kids at the CrashDown thatday?
Liz: No.
Sheriff: I see.
Liz: Can I go home now Sheriff?
Sheriff: Just one more thing.
~~Brings up her book bag from below.~~
Somebody turned in this book bag. It is yours isn't it?
~~Liz just stares at it.~~


Liz walks into the gym. Max looks up and sees her. Liz just stares at him with a coldish look in her eyes.

Sheriff: A shot was fired. There's a bullet hole in the dress. I'm telling you the girl was shot.
~~Lookays at the agent as he gets up out of a char.What are you doing?
Agent: I have a flying saucer sighting in Phoenix. And an accountant in Barstow that thinks he's Jesus. ~~Puts uniform in briefcase case and shuts it.~~
Both cases are more solid than this one. I'll have this checked out at the lab. Call me Sheriff if you everhave anything...real.
~~Outside~~
Sheriff: You guys told me to call you if I ever saw anything. Well, my son saw that hand print.
Agent: I'm sure he did.
Sheriff: What happens now.
man: I'm gonna have the lab check out the dress. I'm gonna handle this case in a proper manner without getting to personal. I suggest you do the same.
Sheriff: I'm not walking away from this. I'm going to be part of this investigation.
Agent: Sheriff, do you know what everyone at the agency used to call your father? Sergeant Martian. You don't want to end up like him.
Sheriff: Agent Stevens? I was 8 years old when my father discovered that corpse. My whole life I thought he was as crazy as everybody else did. Crazy to believe. But now I'm not so sure.
man: thank you Sheriff. your works done now, we'll take it from here
~~Drives off.~~


Liz and Max in a class room.
Liz: I need to know the truth Max. I need to know everything, or else I'm just gonna go to Valenti andtell him everything I know. Max: Okay.
Liz: Okay.
~~Takes sheet of paper out of her pocket. Max gives a half smile.~~
All right. Where did you come from?
~~She reads the question from the paper.~~
Max: I don't know. When the ship crashed I wasn't bornyet. Liz: So there was a crash.
Max: All I know is that it wasn't a weather balloon that fell that night.
Liz: The ship crashed in 1947. You're sixteen.
Max: We were in some kind of incubation pods.
Liz: We? Max: Isabel and Michael are, ah... um, also.
Liz: Well, that answers. Uum... that question. Um...what powers do you have?
Max: We can connect with people. As, um, you know. We can manipulate molecular structures and...
Liz: Wait...what does that mean?
Max: ~~Puts his hand over a clay face and makes it disappear, and then reappear.~~
That's how I healedyou.
Liz: Max, who else knows this?
Max: No one.
Liz: What about your parents?
Max: We don't tell anyone. We sort of think our livesdepend on it.
Liz: So when you healed me, you risked all of thisgetting out didn't you?
Max: Yeah.
Liz: Why?
Max: It was you.
Liz: Um, Max, Valenti just showed me this photo of a corpse. A murder victim. It had the same silver handprint on it's chest.
Max: It can't be.
Liz: The photo was marked 1959.
Max: that's impossible.
Liz: Kyle saw the hand print on my stomach, and Valenti found my waitress uniform with the bullet hole in it. He just asked me if you were in the cafe during the shooting. Max, he suspects you.
~~Max walks off.~~
Max...
Max: I have to go.
Liz: Max, please, wait Max, go where? Where are you going?
~~Yells after him as he runs out of the room. Runs into the hallway and is bombarded by kids in costume for the crash festival.~~
Max! Max!


Max: ~~Opens Isabel's door. ~~Isabel is seen with her feet in the air trying to tie her boots for the festival. Isabel just looks at him.~~
It's time to leave.
~~ They go and pick up Michael.~~
Isabel: Where's your stuff? Michael: I'm wearing it.


~~In Liz's room. Maria walks in and stands on the end of her bed to get her attention.~~
Maria: Before I go to this idiotic crash festival, I want to know everything, and if you don't tell me the truth right now, I'm going to go to Valenti myself and tell him everything I know.
Liz: What do you know? Maria: Well, I know that Max was in the diner that day. And I know that he went up to you when you were shot and like, did something. And I know that the one person in the world I thought I could completely trustis lying to me.
Liz: You have to promise me you are not going to flipout.
Maria: Flip out? Liz it's me.
~~Runs out of thehouse.~~
Aah!Aah! Liz: Maria! ~~Runs after her.~~


~~Max, Isabel, and Michael driving.~~ Michael: So with this picture what we're saying isthere's more of us? Max: One more. At least there was in 1959. Michael: So there's hope. if we can find him, he can tell us where we came from, what we are...
Isabel: Michael calm down. We had one potential relative 40 years ago and all we know about him is hewas a potential killer.

~~Maria and Liz in maria's car.~~ Maria: Liz, what happened to you? You were on this whole like, valedictorian path. You were on your way to be like a world renowned scientist. I was going to be your wacky friend. Okay? Where does that leave me? I can't be a wacky friend to someone who's alreadywacky. It'd be like redundant.
Liz: You're babbling right now.
Maria: I think I have earned the right to babble, all right. So just deal with it.
Liz: Oh my God! Maria that's them! Cut a u-ey!
Maria: Cut a u-ey? Who are you?
~~Liz takes the wheel and turns it.~~
Oh my God! Your a crazy person.
Liz: Maria I'm not! Please! Just catch them!
Maria: Catch them? Liz, we're in a Jeta.
~~Max sees the Sheriff turning onto the road and decides to go down an alley. Liz and Maria pull in behind them so they can't get out.~~
Isabel: Great
~~When she sees Liz and Maria get out ofthe car.~~
Maria: Okay, why are they here. No, don't tell methere's three...
Liz: Well...
Maria: I think I'm going to be sick.
~~As they walktowards each other.~~
Liz: Maria knows.
Michael: Unbelievable.
Maria: Look I promise I won't tell anyone.
Michael: Get your car out of the way. Now.
Liz: I really don't think that you should try to leave. It's just gonna show people that you're guilty.
Michael: For what, saving your life?
Max: Michael...
Liz: I think I have an idea here. If we can all just work together we might just be able to throw Valentioff.
Michael: We're not together. Our lives are at stake, not yours. Now move your car.
Max: Michael this can't last forever. This secret. AndI don't want it to.
Liz: I can't change what happened. But if you run, Valenti is going to know it's you. You'll be proving it for him.
Max: she's right. Isabel: I should've known you'd side with her.
Max: Isabel I'm not on anyone's side all right?
Isabel: Well get on a side, Max, because time is running out.
Max: You should move your car. I'm turning myself into Valenti.
Michael: Max, we said we were leaving.
Isabel: Max, I can't leave without you.
~~Turns toLiz.~~
What's your idea?


~~Liz goes to Kyle's. He answers the door.~~
Kyle: I waited for you for an hour and a half.
Liz: ~~Acts all sexy and innocent.~~
Kyle, I know I've been acting like a real jerk, and...I'm sorry.
~~Crash festival.~~
Isabel: Nice mask Alex.
~~They walk past him.~~
Alex: Isabel, hey. Maria?
Maria: Hey.
Alex: Well, uh, nice cones.
~~Maria and Isabel walkoff.~~


~~Back at Kyle's house...
~~Kyle: Liz we don't even have to go to the crash.
Liz: Kyle, it's going to be great, okay?
~~Kisses him.~~
I'm going to meet you in front of the podium inhalf an hour, right.
Kyle: Half and hour.
Liz: Yeah.
~~Calls Max on cell phone.~~
We got half anhour.
Max ( is driving) to Liz: Okay. to Michael: Well?
Michael: It's not going to work.
~~Back at the crash...~~
Sheriff to Deputy: Where is he? (Max)
Deputy: Right there.
~~Points to Max.~~
What did thiskid do Jim? Sheriff: I'll take it from here.
~~Walks towardsMax.~~
~~Parking lot...~~ Isabel: Come on roll! (In the dirt.)
Maria: Okay, I rolling.
Isabel: Roll! Maria: I'm rolling, okay?
Isabel: All right. That's better. Keys.
~~Hold hand out.~~
Maria: Okay. I know my mom's car doesn't look like much, but not destroying it is the key to my and mymother's relationship okay?
Isabel: Whatever. ~~Takes the keys.~~
~~At the festival...~~ Sheriff: I have some questions for you.
Max: What kind of questions?
Sheriff: Were you at the CrashDown cafe the day of theshooting?
Max: Yes.
Sheriff: What did you do to Liz Parker?
Max: I didn't do anything to her.
Sheriff: I don't believe that.
~~Turns Max around andputs cuffs on him.
Max: Aren't you gonna read me my rights?
Sheriff: Do you have any?


Liz bumped into the Jan and the guy she was with form the diner the day of the shooting. They follow her. Isabel backs up Maria's car and pretends to hit her. Everyone runs to the parking lot.

Liz: Maria!
~~Runs to her, there is a guy in a costume that gets there and puts his hand on Maria.~~
Alex: What's going on?
~~The costume person knocks him to the ground and runs off.
~~Sheriff: What happened here? ~~Sees hand print on Maria.~~
Are you okay?
Maria: Yeah, I'm fine.
~~Gets up with the help of the Sheriff.~~
The guy from the diner: There he goes. Sheriff that's the guy that went up to her! That's him!
Sheriff: Watch the kid. (Max)
~~Runs back into the festival turns the kid around.~~
Kyle: Dad! You scared the hell out of me. Have you seen Liz around? She was supposed to meet me here like15 minutes ago.
Sheriff: No. Kyle: Okay.
~~Walks off.~~
~~Sheriff looks down and sees silver paint on hisfingers.~~
~~In a outhouse thing you see Michael take off thesame costume as Kyle had on.~~
~~The Sheriff is back with Max.~~
Sheriff: You think you're smart don't you?
~~Slams Max face first into a trailer.~~
