1INT. MESALIKO CAVE - NIGHT
Michael is sitting in the cave in the area where he was healed. The torches are lit. He is trying to meditate, as River Dog taught him, but his attention keeps being drawn to the cave painting.
LIZ (VO)
Knowledge is a funny thing. Sometimes the more you learn, the more you want to know.
Michael gives up on his meditation and walks over to the cave painting, examining the symbols with care and a feeling of intensity.

2 INT. MAX’S POD CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS
Max is in his own pod chamber. A camping lantern provides a modicum of light. He's slowly circling the chamber touching the pod, and the walls, as if willing them to speak to him.

Sometimes the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know.

3 EXT. FRAZIER WOODS - CONTINUOUS
Isabel is approaching the rock that she and Alex occupied when stargazing on the Father's Camping Trip. She is holding a camping lantern, which is providing light. She seems distraught as she places the lantern by her feet and sits on the rock. She looks up to the sky as if willing the stars to tell her what to do.
LIZ (VO)
And sometimes the more you learn, the more you wish you hadn't.

Where are your people from?

They needed to find a new place to live. None of the other planets they had studied could support them, long term ... so they chose Earth.
