Max: If you're really here to protect us, there's something you have to do. The only way we can ever go back is if nobody's hunting us anymore.
Michael: Pierce is already dead.
Max: He'll only be replaced, unless we replace him. (edit) Nasedo: It's not my job to show you. My only job is to keep you alive.
Max: Your job?
Michael: Well if your only job is to keep us alive, then tell us. They're communicators. They communicate with who?
Nasedo: You're not ready to know yet.
Michael: They communicate with our home planet, don't they? Why don't you want us to contact them?
Nasedo: Because you don't know who else you may contact in the process.
Isabel: Who else is there?
Nasedo: Set off those orbs, and you have no idea who you may be leading straight to us.
Max: You don't know, do you? You don't know how to use the orbs. If you knew, you would've already used them. You're here to protect us, but not to lead us, you said it yourself. But if you're not the leader, who is?
(Everyone looks at Max) (edit) Max: You were just trying to stop him. I know you didn't mean to kill him.
Michael: No, that's just it, I wanted to kill him. I mean, that's all I could think about. I wanted him dead, you know, and then I just did it. It just happened. What kind of person does that make me?
Max: We would have been dead if you didn't help us.
Michael: No, the bottom line, Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal 'em. You're good and I'm bad.
Max: It's not true, Michael. (edit) Alex (to Isabel): I know what you need to do and I know that you need to do it alone. (edit) Max: When Pierce told me the things they've done to the other aliens... I'll die before I let that happen to any of you.
Isabel: Then we have to run.
Max: He'll just keep hunting us. There's no coming back. Are you willing to never see home again? Any of you? Then we have to fight.
Alex: Fight the most elite unit in the FBI?
Isabel: Who now knows who we are and everything about us.
Max: He does know who we are, but we also know who he is. We're stronger than he thinks. We're maybe even stronger than we think. (edit)

When Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess go to recover Nasedo's body and Isabel hits one of the agents, the sounds that are heard don't match her actions. (edit) The agent chasing Liz and Max at the bridge in the beginning abruptly switches from the left lane to the right. (edit) Throughout the scene where Max interrogates Pierce, the projector changes slides at irregular intervals with no one touching it. (edit) At the end of the episode, Michael suddenly appears next to Max without any footsteps on the gravel like Max's and Liz's. (edit) When Max and Liz climb out of the river at the beginning, they walk through one of two large drainage pipes next to each other. There is only one pipe on the other side. (edit)
