Max To The Max Cut Scenes
The Isanity Of Isolation
TESS
(to Michael)
I'm your sister.
POD CHAMBER - ROCK FORMATION
MR. HARDING
How could you bring them out here? This
is a big mistake.
TESS
You know, I've spent my entire life with
you and you alone. Do you know what it's
like spending your every waking moment
with only one other person? I'm about to
go insane.
MR. HARDING
You know the Special Unit is close. You
saw that camera. Who do you think put it
on them in the first place? Our friend
Pierce.
TESS
So why don't you kill him? According to
Max you've done that before.

It's Gettin', It's Gettin', It's Gettin' Kinda Hectic
INT. WEST ROSWELL HIGH - HALLWAY - DAY
Max sees Tess at the other end of the hall. He steels himself
but before he can reach her, LIZ startles him.
LIZ
Max. There you are. I've been up all
night thinking about how we're going to
get that book from Tess. It's probably
somewhere in her house. All we have to
do is...
MAX
I don't care about the book.
LIZ
Max, that book could have all the answers
you've been looking for.
MAX
Maybe I don't want them anymore.
LIZ
(beat)
Did something else happen last night that
I don't know about?
MAX
(lying)
No.
Suddenly, he kisses Liz. Liz has quick
FLASHES
...from moments in their relationship. Moments of connection.
LIZ
...comes out fo the kiss, startled.
LIZ
Max...
MAX
Liz, it doesn't matter what's in that
book. What's real is how we feel about
each other.
(beat)
Right?
Liz knows Max couldn't forget about the book.
LIZ
Right. Max, is there something you're
not telling me?
Max hates to lie again, but knows he has to. And this time
he has to make it look good.
MAX
No. Everything's fine.
INT. CRASHDOWN CAFE - KITCHEN/BACK ROOM - DAY
Isabel and Michael together in the kitchen/back room area.
ISABEL
I don't even know who you are anymore. I
mean, are you my brother? Are you my...
mate?
MICHAEL
You know, Isabel, I'm still the same
guy. This isn't going to change anything
between us.
ISABEL
It already has. I can't forget that dream,
can you? You were so happy, I've never
seen you that happy.
Scene continues as aired.
Kissing The Void
INT. CONVERTIBLE - OLD HIGHWAY - DAY
LIZ
That a threat or a promise?
Nasedo-Max grins and pulls over. Inspired by his comment,
Liz attacks him more enthusiastically than even he expected.
And he returns the affection with surprising hunger.
LIZ
(between kisses)
Good thing we stopped. We don't want to
wreck. Like last time we were on this
highway.
NASEDO-MAX
(breathless)
Right...
LIZ
Remember that day?
NASEDO-MAX
Of course...
LIZ
We were just flying down the road... the
wind in our hair, that song was on the
radio...
NASEDO-MAX
I remember...
LIZ
... and then we almost hit that...
wild...you know... that was in the road...
NASEDO-MAX
Right... the... deer.
LIZ
Yeah. No. It was a horse.
NASEDO-MAX
Right. A horse.
She stops and looks at him. Does he really not remember? Or
is he just caught up in the passion? Liz kissess him again.
This time, she gets a
FLASH
Not her usual Max flash, but something different. Dark,
disturbing, VOID-LIKE images.
LIZ
pulls away.
NASEDO-MAX
What?
LIZ
Nothing...
On Liz, knowing something is very wrong.
A Present For Pierce
INT. CONVERTIBLE - OLD HIGHWAY - DAY
PIERCE
Just tell him that I left him a little
clue on Highway 380 to Hondo. Near mile
marker 67.
To end the call, he closes his fist around the cell phone
until it melts away to nothingness.
LIZ
Are you going to kill me too?
Scene continues as aired.
Soul Searching
EXT. CARNIVAL - NIGHT
Liz and Nasedo-Max stand near a BLUE-HAIRED OLD LADY some of
her friends, waiting in line for a ride.
LIZ
I don't believe you.
NASEDO-MAX
It's true. Tess and Max were made to be
together.
LIZ
But you don't know what Max and I have.
Ever since he saved my life at the
Crashdown, he's changed my. We've seen
into each other's souls.
Nasedo-Max laughs. It incenses her.
LIZ (CONT'D)
You have no idea what that means, do you?
Because when I kissed you, you had no
soul for me to see.
Nasedo-Max is taken aback by her boldness. Before he can
respond, the Blue-Haired Lady's cacle interrupts them.
BLUE-HAIRED LADY
I don't believe any of that hokey. There's
no such thing as aliens.
Scene continues as aired.
Trusting Tess... Not

Et Tu, Fisher?
VALENTI
... is standing among the remnants of the cracked mirrors
alone with Deputy Fisher.
VALENTI
What the hell were you thinking? You let

DEPUTY FISHER
They said they were FBI... aren't we all
on the same side?
Off Valenti, unable to answer that question.
