Thursday,
11 November 1999 In the dome they are listening to footsteps up above. Michael starts searching through the papers in the office to find something that will help them discover their past. Up above, Topolsky has found the lock that releases the trapdoor and starts to pick it. Valenti comes to and sees Topolsky then pretends he is still unconscious. In the basement, Liz discovers another exit just as the trapdoor is released. They grab as much of the paperwork as they can and put it in a box. Isabel notices a broken pendant with a symbol on it and grabs it too. They all scramble out the tunnel exit. Topolsky comes downstairs and emerges from the tunnel exit in time to see them drive off in their jeep. They pick up Maria's car and Michael drives her home. Maria mentions that she had not realised before how many sides Michael has to his personality. Michael says that whatever happened between them the day before is over now. Friday, 12 November 1999 At home, Isabel finds a photo of a symbol Max drew in the sand at the beach when they were children - it is the same as on the necklace she found. At school, Maria tells Liz that she finds Michael interesting and that he communicates to her by "sending vibes out into the atmosphere". She then tells Liz that Michael said they would pick her up after school to go through the files and she will see Liz there. Liz seems surprised but says she will be there. Liz then goes to talk to Kyle to make sure he will not tell anyone about last night. Topolsky is on the phone with her supervisor, Agent Stevens, regarding her assignment. Agent Stevens is angry that Topolsky knocked out the sheriff. He demands that she retrieve what the kids took from the house and he wants to know what they are doing at all times. Valenti visits Milton at the UFO Centre and learns that Atherton disappeared in 1959. Back at his office, he compares a photo of the corpse with the silver hand print (which he had hidden under his desk drawer) to Atherton's picture on his book cover - they match. Driving home from school, Michael tells Max and Isabel that he invited Maria to help with the files because he couldn't help it, "she sends out these vibes". Max says it has to be just the three of them and Michael is about to call Maria to cancel when they notice police cars and a commotion in front of the Evans' home. Max tells Michael to take off and he and Isabel learn from Valenti that their home has been burgled. Max and Isabel head for his bedroom and discover the files are missing. However, Isabel is wearing the necklace, so it was not taken but Deputy Blackwood recognises the symbol as something he saw growing up on the Mesaliko Reservation just outside town. That evening, Michael is followed by the same agent as the previous night. When he meets Max, Isabel, Liz and Maria at the Crashdown, they go up to Liz's room to talk and he tells them about being followed. Max admits he saw the same guy the night before. Michael notices Isabel's necklace for the first time and feels he has seen the symbol before. Isabel tells them what the deputy told her. Michael wants to go to the reservation but Max says it's too dangerous with someone following them. Saturday, 13 November 1999 Liz visits Max, through his bedroom window, to tell him she is going to the reservation and wants the necklace. Max tries to tell her no but she tells him she does not need his permission and he relents. That evening, she goes to the reservation and meets an elderly Native American who wants to know who else knows about the necklace and was she followed. He tells her the symbol on the necklace is dangerous - "it brings death". Sunday, 14 November 1999 The next day at the Crashdown, a guy named Eddie brings Liz the bottom piece of the pendant from River Dog - it matches perfectly. He tells her to meet River Dog at 10pm at the reservation and to come alone. To avoid being followed, Max and Liz pretend to go to the movies and go out the back, where Maria gives them her car. In the meantime, Michael and Isabel in the jeep act as a decoy so Topolsky will follow them and not Max and Liz. The sheriff pulls Topolsky over for passing three red lights, two stop signs and doing 70 in a 30 mph zone. He tells her she is a walking, talking, moving violation and that he could bring her in and do a background check to find out what she is really up to or they could just have a nice conversation. Max and Liz arrive at the reservation and meet Eddie, who is upset that Max is there but tells him if he passes the test, River Dog will answer their questions. Maria, Michael and Isabel meet at the Crashdown to wait for Max and Liz. Michael helps himself to some cake and puts Tabasco sauce on it. Maria asks why they put Tabasco sauce on everything and Isabel says they like things extremely sweet mixed with things extremely spicy. Maria and Michael are making eye contact and making little remarks to each other so Isabel accuses them of flirting. Eddie leads Max and Liz to a cave and leaves. When they go into the dark cave, someone grabs Liz and Max uses his powers to create a light to find Liz. River Dog tells him he passed the test. At a bar, the sheriff tells Topolsky he knows she is FBI and that she is the one who knocked him out, he is just giving her a warning before notifying her superiors that her cover has been blown. She suggests they could work together by sharing information. He says he will think about it. River Dog tells Max that he knew someone like Max but has not seen him for 40 years. The man was a loner but trusted Atherton and gave him his necklace, he also killed him. It was in November 1959. River Dog was too far away to see how it happened but when he reached them, Atherton was dead. At the Crashdown, Maria is freaking out because Max and Liz are taking too long and she thinks they are in trouble. She is also upset with Michael because he is not doing anything to calm her down. Michael then gives her a tender, romantic kiss and tells her it was to help her calm down. She thanks him and they walk off in opposite directions. River Dog shows Max and Liz a cave painting of symbols the man left. The man was afraid he was close to being found out and that they would kill him. He told River Dog that some day someone would come but he made him promise not to show the message to anyone who did not pass the test. No one else had come before Max. Max recognises the symbols but cannot remember what they mean. Max asks River Dog if they can come again but River Dog replies that he has completed his promise, there is nothing more he can tell, nothing more they can learn. Max holds out his hand and says they should go. She goes to him, takes his hand and they leave together hand in hand. |
