~Pilot Episode~
The pilot starts on the roof of Liz Parkers's house. She is writing a
journal entry.
"5 days ago I died. And then everything got weird!"
We then flash back to 5 days ago to her parents Crash down Café where Liz and
her best friend Maria work. Liz is waiting on 2 tourist who are looking
for information on the Crash of 1949. Liz then hands the 2 a picture of
a supposed alien that has been in her family for year! Then Maria comes
over a grabs Liz away from them to talk about Liz's boyfriend, Kyle, the
Sheriff' s's son. Maria also point out how Max Evens keeps looking over
at Liz. The next thing anyone know two truckers get into a fight and one
pulls out a gun. The bullet hits Liz right in the gut. After the two trucker
run out, Max runs over to Liz and places his hand over the wound and heals her.
But not before seeing visions of Liz's past. Max's friend Michael runs
over and Max throws him the key and he runs out. Max then goes to break a
bottle of ketchup and pour it over Liz. Liz get up right as Max runs out
and Maria starts to wonder.
When the Sheriff' s come to integrate everyone, the two tourist that Liz had
given the picture to are telling him that a boy ran up to Liz then got off! They also mention
that the gun went off, but where is the bullet hole? That gets the Sheriff' s's attention.
When Liz gets home, she removes her uniform with the hole in it and see a silver hand
print on her stomach where Max touched her.
The Next day in Science class, Max walks in late and sit next to Liz. He puts a pencil
in his mouth as a nervous reaction. Then when the teacher announces that his side of
the room needs to remove some cells from their checks, Max gets a bathroom pass and leaves the
room with out his pencil which is sitting on his books. Liz first examine her cells, then grabs
max's pencil and straps off some of the cells. When she looks at them, they are not normal.
After class she grabs Max's arm and pulls him into the Band room, where , to her surprise, Kyle is
fooling around on the drums. He tries to talk to Liz, but she has other plans and pushes him out of
the room! She then goes on to show Max her silver handprint on her stomach, and also tells
him about the cells from his pencil. Max then must tell Liz the truth about where he is
from. "Not Around Here!" This makes Liz nervous and she runs out.
After school, Max is seen at a food stand eating with 2 other people. Isabel his sister, and Michael
his best friend. Both also "Not from around here!". They are discussing what happened at the
Crash down the other day. Isabel is angry at Max for helping out! Max then tells them he told
Liz about him. His sister and Michael both get very mad.
Later that night, Liz is walking home from a date with Kyle. She then, by mistake, lifts up her
shirt, exposing the silver hand print. Kyle is now suspicious. After Kyle has gone, Max shows
up and has to talk. Then go down into the Café and he tries to explain to her about who he is
but just laughs at the thought about the vision she gave him. Liz then becomes nervous that he
knew that because the vision was of her in kinder garden and she meet him in 3rd grade. He then
explains how that was possible and tries to make the connection go the other way so she can see
who he is and that he won't hurt her. It works.
Following day, Liz loses her backpack and runs into one of maria's and her jointed friends, who is
upset that she is ditching Maria. right after Liz get done telling him everything is fine, the
Sheriff' s want to talk to her.
In the library the Sheriff' s shows Liz some pictures of a body that also has the silver handprint. He
then makes her lift her shirt to prove the hand print wasn't there. After she leave she goes and
finds Max and makes him tell her everything he knows. After he tells her, she tells him that
Kyle saw the handprint and now the Sheriff' s is suspicious. This scares Max, and he run out on her.
Then goes and finds his sister who is getting ready for the annual crash festival and tells her they
are leaving Roswell.
Maria is one who is also getting ready for the festival. But not before she get Liz to tell her
what happened that day at the Crash down. Liz tells Maria, but it scares Maria and she runs out.
Liz and Maria go ahead to drive around "looking" for Max and the others. They find them and corner them
into an alley. The three aliens come toward them and tell them to move their car. Liz tells Max if he
runs the Sheriff' s will only become more suspicious and that she has a plan.
Liz goes over to Kyle's house and gets him to meet her there in a half a hour.
At the festival Isabel and Maria are scene walking together toward a remote spot. Maria is then to
roll around in the dirt. Maria then must give her mother's car keys to Isabel for a unknown reason.
The Sheriff' s runs into Max and starts to harass him until they see Liz running toward Maria, who looks
like she had just been hit. Someone in a costume goes up to Maria and then runs off. When everyone
gets to her, she is fine and has a silver handprint on her chest. The Sheriff' s leaves Max and runs
in hot pursuit of the person in the Costume. When he finally get to him, it turns out to be Kyle looking
for Liz. The Sheriff' s then goes back to harass Max some more, but lets him go telling him that
he'll be watching his every move.
In a bath near by, Michael is taking off the same costume that Kyle had.
As everyone watches the UFO fake Crash and fireworks, Liz and Max talk about why they can never
be together, saying its unsafe. The last words Max says to Liz are "I'll see you in school."
Last scene. Liz is writing in her journal.
"Five days ago I died. And then the Really amazing thing happened, I lived."
