All language subtitles for Star-Crossed - 01x11 - Give Me a Torch

My name is Roman. Ten years ago, our ship

crash-landed on Earth. We
came here seeking refuge,

but the humans thought
that it was an invasion.

(Rapid gunfire, shouting)

That night, I met a human
girl who tried to protect me...

a girl I never thought I'd see again.

The surviving members
of my race, the Atrians,

were rounded up and isolated
inside a militarized sector.

Now it's 2024.

Seven of us have been
chosen to attend high school

as a part of a government
integration program.

But the humans and Atrians

continue to distrust each other,

while I fight to protect
my people and the human girl

who saved my life... at any cost.

Previously on Star-Crossed...

We're the new Red Hawks.

There are Atrian terrorists
known as the Trags.

And they're planning a
strike against humans.

DRAKE: When my mom returned
to the Sector, Vega wanted her

to build something called
the Suvek for the Trags.

Suvek. That means blast or flash.

You think it's some kind of bomb?

Trags might have started building it,

but it's up to us to make
sure they don't finish.

I make it harder for you
to protect your people.

They're never going to fully trust you,

as long as you're with me.

What are you saying?

That maybe we shouldn't be together.

("The Fortunate Ones" by
My Name Is You playing)

- (Gasps) Oh, sorry.
- Oh.

Hi.

Hey.

Uh...

Every year, students come
up with elaborate ways

to ask each other to
the Winter Blast dance.

Well, that explains why
I saw Frosty the Snowman

at the urinal practicing his Shakespeare.

You guys think our traditions are bizarre?

How's the Sector?

How are you? Are you safe?

You don't really have to
worry about me anymore.

Your Uncle Castor is a homicidal maniac,

your terrorist ex-girlfriend

drugged you, so... yeah, I worry.

Emery...

You're the one that said
we'd be better off apart.

Have fun at the dance.

Took you ten years to reconnect with him,

and, like, ten seconds for you to dump him.

If we were together,

his people would question his loyalties.

It's hard to compete with
the future of an entire race.

Look, I know you're bummed,

- but you need a Roman holiday.
- (Chuckles)

And the Winter Blast is our
first high school dance ever.

I don't have a date.

Em, I need you there.

Every year, they pick one new
student to sing at the dance,

and Taylor tapped me.

Me. If I go sharp,

she'll melt me with one cold hard stare.

Please say you'll come.

Going solo is very "now."

Says the girl with the date.

Not yet, I don't.

But that could change very soon.

Hey.

Uh, you want to go to the dance, right?

Um, yeah. (Laughs)

Cool.

Direct, straight to the point.

I like it.

Yeah. He's a no-frills kind of guy.

You've been freezing me
out since the hurricane.

Oh, you mean the one you created

so that you could smuggle equipment

into the Sector for the Trags?

You really think if you drugged
me, I wouldn't figure it out?

I wasn't trying to hurt you.

Save it, Teri. You really
want to earn my trust,

you'll tell me what you
and the Trags are building.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You might want to think
twice before pushing me away.

You need all the friends
you can get right now.

Teri say anything about the Suvek?

- No.
- (Sighs)

Vega won't start a war she can't win.

And I'm worried my mom
might be helping her.

I thought you said she
refused to build the Suvek.

She did. But she's been acting strange.

Past few nights staying out till curfew.

Said she's getting
reacquainted with the Sector.

Can I still count on her to
back me up with the Hwatab?

She's our only witness

to Castor's role in crashing the ship.

If I don't have her testimony, it's just

- my words against his.
- Don't worry, all right?

- She said she'd be there later.
- All right, good.

If Castor remains Iksen, he's
going to stop integration,

and we cannot allow that.

I'll follow my mom after the meeting,

find out where she's been going at night.

Excuse me.

I-I'll be right back.

What?

I brought you something from the Sector.

It's called odyi.

Striking, wild.

It reminded me of you.

In case you were wondering,

this is kind of my way of
asking you to the Winter Blast.

(Sniffles)

Oh, no. Are you allergic?

Taylor, your eyes.

What?

Haven't you ever seen a girl cry before?

(Engine starts)

(School bell ringing)

Hey, I need to tell you something.

I-I don't know who else I can trust.

Uh...

Yeah. What's wrong?

It's about Taylor.

Castor murdered our ship's captain.

That's why we crashed.

When I threatened to expose him, he tried

to have me sent to the Crate.

Roman, where is this
coming from? These lies?

You know exactly where this is
coming from; you are a traitor.

(Whispers): Where's Saroya?

CASTOR: Roman is obviously
retaliating against me

for exposing his relationship
with the human girl.

Roman, you were six years old

when our ship crashed on this planet.

How could you possibly know what happened?

I saw it for myself.

Through the mirzan.

And where is the flight recorder now?

I tried to bring it to the council,

but Castor got to me first.

I barely escaped with my life.

He's probably destroyed it by now.

My nephew proves that he
cares more for the human girl

than he does his own people.

My relationship with Emery is over.

I know you think I've
turned my back on my people,

but Castor wants to end
the integration program.

He wants to build his own sovereign nation.

In a lot of ways, Castor
is even more dangerous

than the Trags.

He isn't afraid to kill one of his own.

Not if we stand in his way.

- You calling me a murderer?
- Roman, you do not have

proof or a witness of any of this.

Doesn't my word mean anything?

As Nox's son?

We want to trust you.

But you deceived us all
about your relationship

with the human girl.

(Sighs softly)

With that said,

these are serious allegations,

and we will be making inquiries.

Castor shall remain Iksen.

For now.

Asoluviv.

GRAYSON: Our goal isn't

to dismantle the Integration Program.

We have one target:

the Trags.

Need to figure out what they're planning.

We have an informant on
the inside... an Atrian...

who can help us.

But for right now, I need
you all to be patient.

You call these runts Red Hawks?

What are you doing here, Vartan?

Think my invitation got lost in the mail.

You know I'm the captain round these parts.

Things are changing.

Like the New Red Hawks...
we don't have captains

or threaten Atrians

or try to turn people against them.

Oh.

It's a kinder, gentler Red Hawks.

Ain't that sweet.

We're not in danger from
all Atrians, just the Trags.

And if we can neutralize them,

we might be able to
actually save some lives.

I'll tell you what we should do,

is go after that little
race traitor Emery Whitehill.

Leave Emery out of this.

That girl was dating the
son of the Atrians' leader.

Bet she had all kinds of access.

I don't want you

or anyone doing anything stupid.

It undermines what I'm trying to do here.

You hear me?

Making a big mistake, boy.

(Beep)

What are you doing here?

I wondered what could be so important

that you'd bail on Roman.

You have to get out of
here now; it's not safe.

I'm not going anywhere until you tell me

what the hell's going on.

You said you'd never help the Trags.

How could you lie to me?

I didn't have a choice, Drake.

Vega agreed to protect us both from Castor

if I helped her build the Suvek.

You were in danger. What else could I do?

As soon as you finish,

Vega's not gonna have
any use for you anymore.

What happens to you then, hmm?

Drake, I don't expect you to understand.

I need you to trust me.

(Footsteps approaching)

(Whispering): Go.

Now.

("Another Ride" by Sister
Sparrow & the Dirty Birds plays)

Hey. Um, can I talk to you for a sec?

It's... kind of sensitive.

I think I know what this is about.

Y-You do?

Look, I was vulnerable, and she's hot.

So, yes, I kissed Sophia.

Let's not pretend that
you haven't been there.

All those long, lonely
nights sharing a hospital room

with Julia. (Chuckles)

No, no. This is about Drake.

Ah. What about him?

Well, I heard I'm not the only one

going through an Atrian breakup.

Uh, well, onward and upward, right?

Sophia told me when she saw you

earlier in the car...

that your tears, they were, um...

(Quietly): They were glowing.

Glowing?

Oh, my God.

Did I catch some sort of Atrian STD?

It's more of a temporary condition.

When an Atrian woman's tears glow,

it means they're... expecting.

Expecting what?

Taylor, you're... pregnant.

(Quietly): My mom is
helping Vega build the Suvek.

It's not finished yet.

(Sighs) Well, at least
that buys us some time

to figure out a way to stop her.

While the Hwatab do
their digging into Castor.

- I'll see you later.
- All right.

(Sighs)

(Steady beeping)

(Buzz, rapid beeping)

Move! Move!

(People shouting)

TAYLOR : Oh, my God. Is that
what's gonna happen to me?

(Groans) You need to stop
looking at these bogus sites.

Just stay calm and...

Who else knows that I'm carrying
a mutant baby in my stomach?

Just you and me and Sophia.

We need to keep it that way.

If the Red Hawks find out,
they'll parade you around

as their race-mixing poster child.

I didn't know what to get,

so I hope you're in
the mood for everything.

Oh, thank God. I am starving.

Atrian pregnancies are
a lot like human ones.

But there are some differences.

Like being constantly thirsty.

Atrian women have to drink
two gallons of water a day

just to keep hydrated.

Since when did the Bug's food get so salty?

Atrians are extra sensitive to salt, right?

Oh, my God.

Am I turning into an Atrian?

No, no.

You're probably just...

expressing Atrian traits
to protect your baby.

Can we stop talking about this
thing like it already exists?

- No, no, no, no, no.
- You can't cry.

You can't cry again. You can't cry again.

(Footsteps approaching)

VEGA: It's almost complete.

And then what happens?

One day, you will learn patience.

I was the one who smuggled in the equipment

to build this thing.

Or is starting a hurricane
not enough to earn your trust?

Don't question my judgment.

We each have a role to play.

Your job isn't finished yet.

It's called the Iksen's Key.

We need it to operate the Suvek.

Where is it?

It's passed from Iksen to Iksen.

I want you to find where Castor keeps it

and bring the key to me.

Am I your daughter or your errand girl now?

You are a soldier.

And a soldier does what they are told.

Hey. Is, um... is Taylor all right?

She keeps sending food back.

Uh, you know Taylor.

She's a picky eater.

Right. Julia told me

that you weren't going to the Winter Blast,

and I cannot let that happen, so...

- Lukas...
- I'm not taking no

for an answer; and
besides, no one appreciates

my smooth moves like you.

- Appreciates? Or tolerates?
- Oh.

Okay, see? You just
wish you had all of this.

- (Snaps fingers)
- Oh. Oh.

(Grunting rhythmically)

(Whoops)

- Hey, Eric.
- Hey.

Have you seen Grayson?

He hasn't been at school all week.

We don't really talk anymore.

You don't?

Grayson started back up
with the Red Hawks again.

- How is that even possible?
- He's been using the school

to recruit guys.

Look, do me a favor.

Don't get me involved, okay?

I don't want anything to do with them.

(Sighs)

EMERY: Drake.

What happened to Roman?

Is that blood on his shirt?

Look, I don't want to get
in the middle of you two.

You should talk to him yourself.

I've tried talking to him.

He won't tell me what's going on.

Hey. Taylor really wants
to leave, like, now.

Okay. I'll meet you outside.

Uh, is everything all right
with your friend Taylor?

Yeah. She's fine.

(Beeping)

(Quiet chattering)

Teri, what are you doing here?

Leave us.

I should send you to the Hwatab

for breaking into your Iksen's pod.

Let me guess:

Vega sent you to poison me.

You know, for a man of the people,

you sure do have a lot of shiny things.

Careful.

That is a gift from one of my consorts.

You're already on their bad side.

Your mother...

she treats you like any
other Trag, doesn't she?

I can offer you a place here.

In my employ.

You're not serious.

Vega is wasting your talent.

I wouldn't make the same mistake.

You're free to go.

Think about it.

So, your uncle's trying to
kill you while Vega's aiming

to annihilate every human we know.

Who should we try to take out first?

We go after both.

Both? (Chuckles)

Are you crazy?

The grenade that almost killed
me was the same kind of grenade

Castor gave us to destroy black cyper.

He's got to have a whole
stash of them somewhere.

If we could find the stash,

we could use it to blow up the Suvek

and set up Castor to take the blame.

Now, if the Hwatab finds
out that he has explosives,

he'll be sent to the Crate.

If Vega doesn't get to him first.

We're gonna need the help

of an Atrian that Castor trusts.

Maia, please. You're my sister.

I would never bring harm to your son.

Castor, I've known you your
whole life and I love you.

But I also know what
you're capable of doing.

I won't hear this. Not from you.

(Sighs) Wait, wait. I-I
don't mean to offend you.

Please.

I-I'm begging you, Castor.

Roman's made mistakes,
but don't turn against him.

Help him find his way.

He looks to you like a father.

How long do you think
your mom can hold him?

I don't know. We got to move fast.

(Clattering)

The fan.

- Hey.
- Yeah.

This doesn't look like
it's attached to anything.

- Whoa.
- (Whistles)

It's enough explosives in here to blow up

the whole Sector.

Only take a few.

Still don't get why we
have to go to the dance.

It's our cover. By the time Vega discovers

her Suvek has been destroyed

and the Trags are hunting down
Castor, we'll be miles away.

What's to stop Vega from
building another Suvek?

Well, she had to start a hurricane

to get the parts to build this one.

It'll take her months to try again.

Buys us time to dismantle
the Trags completely.

Yeah, but none of this is gonna work

if Castor takes you out first.

(Chuckles) So let's get moving.

Are you sure you should be doing this?

Because of my condition?

(Quietly): I have been pregnant

for two minutes, and it's
already cramping my flair.

(Sighs)

Are you gonna tell Drake?

I don't know. I'm still
trying to wrap my head

around this whole situation.

You know what pisses me off the most?

I mean, besides having a half-alien baby

that might kill me... or
worse, give me cankles?

I really like Drake.

At least, on the bright side,

sex with an Atrian is
pretty amazing, right?

Roman and I... we never...

No. Seriously?

What were you guys doing in the
storage closet that whole time?

We just wanted to be together.

Oh.

We still do.

But you should know,

before you ran off at the
Bug, Drake asked about you.

Really? He did?

Yeah.

Maybe he still thinks about you

the way that you think about him.

(Chuckles)

Do you think our exes are
gonna be at the dance tonight?

Maybe.

But if Drake's there,
you should talk to him.

Vega's daughter breaks
in, and you let her go?

CASTOR: I let Teri go because I can

see things that her mother can't.

Her intelligence, her inner strength.

Traits that the Trags
don't fully appreciate.

If she was in our tribe,

she wouldn't just be some lackey.

She would be honored, respected.

Maybe even lead our people one day.

Emery.

I've been wanting to talk to you.

Eric said you're restarting the Red Hawks.

It's not what you think, okay?

We're not an Atrian hate group or anything.

We're just trying to protect humans.

Come to a meeting, I'll prove it to you.

Okay, a Red Hawk meeting is the
last place you'll ever find me.

We don't march around
chanting, "Tattie, go home."

We're just trying to figure
out what the Trags are up to.

Trags?

Where did you hear that word?

Emery, you know the Atrians.

You can help us figure out
what the Trags are up to.

I mean, that's all we want, I swear.

Roman and I broke up, so if you're
trying to use me for information,

you're wasting your time.

You broke up?

I'll see you around.

I'll be right there.

♪♪

(Sighs)

So, what was so important that
you needed to see me right away?

Emery Whitehill's pregnant...

with an Atrian baby.

No.

Everybody knows she's been
carrying on with that Tattie.

Now she's researching
human-Atrian pregnancies.

Well, you're wrong.

She's not even with Roman anymore.

She is pulling the wool
over your eyes, boy.

Don't you get it?

Race-mixing is how it starts.

They use our women to
breed, populate our planet.

Then they infiltrate our government

and use our weapons against us.

They are here to colonize.

And this is the proof

we need to make people see.

For the last time,

stay away from Emery.

I'm not gonna tell you again.

(Sighs)

I believe you have
something that belongs to me.

You know you can't steal
from me and get away with it.

You're the only one in the Sector who knew

I had those explosives.

Thought they looked familiar

when your assassin
tried to plant one on me.

Well, you're not brazen
enough to take me out.

What, were you gonna
bring them to the Hwatab?

You think that they can
make everything right?

You're just like your father.

Full of naive optimism.

Look where that got him.

If you're not careful,
you could end up dead, too.

Uncle.

I am your Iksen.

You took my grenades.

I want them back.

(Grunting)

(Rapid beeping)

(Explosions rumbling)

(Dance music playing loudly)

You made it!

Of course.

We wouldn't miss your big debut.

Oh, hey, this music is
hurting my face, so excuse me

while I have a little
come-to-Jesus talk with the DJ.

(Both laugh)

Oh.

I'll be out back. Break a leg.

- Where are you going?
- Oh, my buddies and I

always spend the dance outside
drinking by the bleachers.

Okay. But you'll miss my song.

I've heard you practice,
like, a million times.

You're gonna be great. Meet up later.

Are you okay?

Is this how I pictured my
first high school dance?

No.

I wanted my date and I to bust in on an ATV

and slay the crowd with
our righteous dance moves.

But we don't always
get what we want, do we?

Sometimes we get lukewarm punch.

Well, here's to lukewarm punch.

May it forever be spiked.

Mm-hmm.

Well... wish me luck.

I have to go warm up.

Good luck.

(Dance music continues)

Hi.

Um...

I owe you an apology.

You asked me to the dance,

and I never actually answered you.

I'm just happy I could be there for you.

Why?

I mean...

why are you so nice to me?

I'm a knocked-up mess
who can't get over her ex.

We're still friends,

and... you're a knockout,
even if you are knocked-up.

I'll probably be less nice to you

once you start ballooning out.

(Laughs)

Emery? I need to ask you something.

Are you pregnant?

What?

Where did you hear that?

- Vartan told me...
- Vartan?

He's part of your new
and improved Red Hawks?

No, he isn't part of
what we're trying to do.

Would you... You still
haven't answered my question.

Not that it's any of your business,

but, no, I'm not pregnant.

And if you're trying to convince me

that your club is any different,

going around asking if I'm knocked up

isn't exactly helping your cause.

Have you seen Taylor?

We need to keep her out of the spotlight.

I think the Red Hawks may be on to her.

TAYLOR: Hello,

Marshall!

(Crowd cheering)

Too late.

I'm Taylor Beecham, but
you already knew that.

Now, who is here to get winter blasted?!

(Taylor whooping, crowd cheering)

(Whooping)

(Sirens wailing in distance)

Castor.

Castor didn't do this.

Castor used the same kind of grenade

on Roman in the market yesterday.

And he was seen outside our
garden after the explosion.

If not Castor, then who?

Not only did you fail to
bring me the Iksen's Key,

but you let this happen.

Our most sacred place destroyed

by the same person you were
supposed to be watching.

Arm yourselves!

Castor pays for what he has done.

Tonight!

(Crowd cheering)

Vega is gonna obliterate Castor

when she finds out the
Suvek's been destroyed.

She's not exactly subtle... or forgiving.

Hey, it was either you or him.

Let's try to enjoy ourselves tonight.

Who knows? Maybe we'll even have some fun.

You all know the tradition, right?

Every year, we have...

a song sung by one of our new students.

And it is my pleasure to introduce

Julia Yeung!

(Whoops)

What are you talking about?

You're an abomination before God.

You being with that alien
boy... it's unnatural.

I am not pregnant.

Yeah, well, I got me a doctor lined up.

We'll see what he says.

- You're making a mistake.
- Shut up.

Doctor can run his test and then he'll see

and you and Grayson will see...

Grayson? He ain't got the stones.

He had his way, the Red
Hawks and the Atrians

would be holding hands, singing "Kumbaya."

But I ain't gonna let that happen.

I warned you!

You okay?

(Grunting)

- Leave him alone!
- (Grunts)

There's a war going on here, boy!

It ain't gonna be won by no Boy Scouts.

Get off him! Hey, hey, hey! Get off him!

VARTAN: Who the hell...?!

Get off him! Leave him alone!

Meet my Boy Scouts.

(Vartan grunting)

You okay?

(Dance music playing)

So, what made you come back to the dance?

I was drinking with my buddies,
making fun of all the losers

in here, and I realized...

I'd rather be a loser inside with you.

Wish we knew what was
going on inside the Sector.

Relax.

(Sighs)

Um... I need to talk to you.

I'm gonna grab a drink.

I'm sorry. I-I can't.

I'm pregnant.

I don't need anything from you.

I just figured you deserve to know.

And now you do.

So I'm done.

No, wait.

No, it hasn't been easy,

you know, getting over you.

But this...

it definitely helps.

(Siren whoops)

(Indistinct radio chatter)

I'm sorry about Vartan.

I saw his car in the parking
lot and knew something was up.

You okay?

I'll be fine.

Don't worry.

He's not gonna be bothering
you or anyone for a long time.

What he did had nothing to do
with me or my New Red Hawks.

I hope you believe that.

I do.

You want me to take you home?

(Sighs)

I don't think I'm ready to
give up on this night yet.

Do you want to dance?

(Chuckles softly)

♪♪

(Grunts)

(Grunting)

Come with me.

(Panting)

Now!

("Faded" by Ghost Beach playing)

It's gonna be all right.

Taylor's pregnant. How
is anything all right?

In one day,

we raided Castor's weapons bunker,

turned Vega against him
and destroyed the Suvek.

You can handle this.

We don't even know if our plan worked.

Well, we'll know soon enough,
once we get back to the Sector.

Right now, I think you
need to go find Taylor.

What's the point?

You know better than anyone
it's not gonna work out.

Being with Emery wasn't easy,

but I don't regret it for a second.

So stop being a hardheaded
Vwasak and go find your girl.

So, your New Red Hawks...

you're really not about hating Atrians

or fighting integration?

All we care about is going
after terrorist Atrians,

like the ones who want
to hurt humans. That's it.

When you think about it,
we're on the same side.

I just want the Atrians to be free.

Free to do whatever they want,

free to be with whomever they want.

If that's the future you're fighting for...

then I'm willing to help.

I don't want to talk to you.

Don't. No, no. Don't...

No. No. I'm not letting you go.

Listen,

I had to break up with you
because of a bad situation.

All I ever wanted was to be with you.

It's not about us being
together or not anymore.

What am I gonna do?

I don't know, okay?

Hey. But whatever happens, I'll be there.

Until when?

Curfew?

When you have to go back to the Sector?

(Sniffles)

(Sobbing): Drake, I am on my own out here.

No, you're not.

Hey.

I'm gonna figure this out, okay?

If you let me.

Okay.

You've heard me say over and over

that information is the most
powerful weapon in our arsenal,

that it can keep our people safe.

Someone has joined our cause
tonight, someone who can

provide new and vital
information on the Atrians.

EMERY: For those of you who don't know me,

I'm Emery Whitehill.

And I'm here to help the New Red Hawks.

(Labored breathing)

(Door closes)

(Groans softly)

I know it hurts, but you need it.

It'll help extract the toxins.

If Vega finds out about this...

Let me worry about my mother.

Why are you doing this?

I'll get you some bandages.

(Quietly): I told the Hwatab
to search Castor's hidden room

like you said.

Did they find his stash of grenades?

They were shocked.

They revoked Castor's
right to rule immediately.

Mom, thank you.

I know this wasn't easy.

Castor stopped being my brother
as soon as he tried to harm you.

What about Vega?

Did you destroy the Suvek?

Yes.

It's taken care of.

The Trags won't be hurting
anyone anytime soon.

You did well.

It was wise to build the
Suvek to survive attack.

It withstood the blast beautifully.

Using shell panels from the
ship to build it was your idea.

I just did as I was told.

Finish your work.

In a few days...

we introduce it to the world.
