[after everyone else leaves the Granolith Chamber]

Max:
[to Tess] Did you kill Alex?

Tess:
I didn't want to. I wish I hadn't, but I did.

Max:
Why?

Tess:
Look Max, the-the clock's ticking, we don't really have time...

Max:
Tell me why!

Tess:
He would have told you what I did and I couldn't let that happen.

Max:
So you just, you just killed him?

Tess:
I didn't mean to. His brain was just so weakened by the mindwarp, and... look, none of this matters now.

Max:
Life matters Tess. My life, your life, his...

Tess:
What matters is getting home, but you could never understand that could you? I might have been able to teach you but that stupid b*tch had you wrapped around her...

Max:
Don't you ever call her that!

Tess:
See! Look how fast you run to her defense! Why couldn't you ever feel that about me? I'm your wife, Max! I'm carrying your child!

Max:
This was all some kind of plan to get pregnant and go home, wasn't it? Home to what, Tess? To Kivar? To our enemies?

Tess:
They're not my enemies, Max.

Max:
You made a deal with them, with Kivar.

Tess:
No, Nacedo made a deal, 40 years ago.

Max:
What was the deal? Tell me!

Tess:
To return home with your child, and deliver the three of you to Kivar.

Max:
And what would happen to us once you delivered us? [Tess doesn't answer]

Max:
How did I ever fall in love with someone like you? How could I ever marry you?

Tess:
You were different - you were a king! Now you're just a boy. [Max raises his hand to Tess' neck] You kill me, Max, you kill our son.

Max:
[agonized] Go. This isn't over, Tess
