Max attends a conference about genetic engineering. Lydecker is in attendance but doesn't recognize Max.

  • Why does Lydecker not recognize Max? He hasn't seen her since she was a child, however he should know what she would look like now based on the multiple clones of her at Manticore. edit »
  • Towards the end of the episode Lydecker (with no gun) walks up to a soldier, takes his gun, shoots a terrorist, puts the gun back in the soldier's holster, and walks away with gun in hand. edit »

    Max: You all right?

    Logan: I was going to ask you the same question. I went to a lot of trouble to get you released.
    (Max hits Logan's shoulder)
    Max: What were you thinking... exchanging yourself for us?!
    Logan: You should be thanking me.
    Max: Thanking you?
    (They're both talking at the same time)
    Max: You'd be thrown off the roof....
    Logan: You'd be with those morons...
    Max & Logan: If it wasn't for me
    Max: Forget it.
    Logan: Never mind.
