All language subtitles for Star-Crossed - 01x04 - And Left No Friendly Drop

We came here seeking refuge,
but the humans thought

that it was an invasion.

(All yelling)

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:

I found this in Julia's hospital room.

- You saved her life.
- It didn't happen.

(Whirring)

Beaumont: Killing the daughter of the man

who murdered Nox will send a message

that we're serious.

You stay away from Emery.

I should say the same thing to you.

This is bigger than the two of us now.

Maybe it's safer if we're apart.

Grayson: My parents are

who they are, okay,
but I am not a Red Hawk.

I don't believe you.

- Let me explain!
- Don't touch me!

(Screams)

Hey, what are you doing?

No!

Who are they? What are they doing here?

- English!
- I was just telling my son

that someone reported

we had restricted technology.

We don't have restricted
tech, so you can just stop!

They can threaten us all they want.

We have nothing to hide.

Actually, we do.

We're not allowed to have phones.

The only people with access to
tech like that are the Trags.

I found it hidden in your father's things

a few weeks ago.

And you waited till just now to tell us?

I... I didn't want you
to know he-he had it.

I didn't want you to think that...

What?

To think that he was a terrorist?

How could we ever think that?

I've tried to access the phone,

but I can't make it work.

Whoever filed that report

knows that we have this.

If the guards find out...

They'll paint your father as a Trag.

We'll never be let out of the sector again.

We have to destroy it.

I'll get rid of it.

Outside the sector.

(Indistinct chatter)

Relax.

As a Trag, you'll have

a front-row seat to their annihilation.

Yeah, I've already seen
a Trag get annihilated.

Can't say I liked it much.

What, you mean Beaumont? He was a spy.

My mother had no choice.

Look, all I'm saying is I joined the Trags

because I want freedom
for our people, all right?

We need to tear down
the walls of the sector.

So you can find Eljida?

That fairy-tale swampland
you keep yapping about?

Right now, we're the Trags' best link

to the outside world, so fall in line.

You remember what happens

to Trags who disappoint my mother.

How are you planning on
getting rid of the phone?

Don't worry about it.

You're not gonna destroy it, are you?

The Trags hated everything dad stood for.

There's no way he was one of them.

I have to find out what was on that phone.

(School bell rings)

Hey.

How are, uh, you doing?

Happy to be back to my usual shade of pale.

Thank you very much.

You know I'm eternally in your debt

for saving my life, essentially twice.

Right?

Okay, so you've kept the secret of cyper.

Can I count on you to keep another one?

Eternal... debt.

All right, then.

Isn't it illegal for
Atrians to have phones?

Yes, but it's important that I find out

what's on this one.

Machines aren't my thing.

But I think I know someone who can help.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, uh...

We'll talk.

Mm-hmm.

It's nice to know Roman
isn't freezing all humans out.

Yeah, I was just congratulating him

on his speech at the commemoration event.

We should get to class.

Atrians have two hearts

and two full sets of lungs.

Now, this, combined with their
skin's ability to absorb oxygen

from air and water, it makes
their respiratory system...

- Superior.
- Like everything else about us.

No, Teri, not superior.

Different.

The important thing to remember is

that Atrians' biological
differences are due

to their native environment, right down

to their markings, which
are bioluminescent in water.

Why's that?

Sophia?

To light our way.

Exactly.

It's called adaptive
evolution, and, I mean,

those aren't the only differences.

Um, physically, Atrians
mature faster than we do.

They're sensitive to things like salt

and dry air, and they're
allergic to a lot of our foods.

Like cilantro

and pretty much anything
with caffeine in it.

But in a lot of ways, Atrians and humans

are strikingly similar.

Yeah, some biologists even
suggest a common origin.

Yes, Zoe?

So, does that mean an Atrian and a human

could get their intergalactic freak on?

Hypothetically, yes.

And how's their endurance?

Are we talking marathon man

or sprint and face plant?

Blondie, you couldn't handle my endurance.

Eric: Better use protection.

Alien crabs don't just itch.

They bite.

Oh!

I missed you, too, sweetheart.

Guys. Guys? Drake?

I think that's enough.

If this class is too challenging for you,

we can go back to flatworms. Flatworms?

Okay. Everybody scroll down to page 17.

Flatworms.

Ooh, new girl already scoring blossoms.

Who are they from?

No card. Hmm.

Stargazer lilies.

Could be a clue.

Do you happen to know anyone
from the stars, perhaps?

Julia: Hey, Lukas.

You got a second?

For you, fair lady? Thousands.

Grayson: Do you like them?

These are from you?

Florist said they're called stargazers

because their bloom faces the sky.

I wanted to apologize for what happened

at the commemoration event with my parents.

You can't change who your parents are.

But you should've been honest with me.

I was afraid, if you knew the truth,

it might scare you off.

I am scared of who your parents are.

But I'm a big girl.

I can handle the truth.

I can see that now.

Look, I promise...

I'll never lie to you again.

I want to believe you... I do... but...

I just can't right now.

Roman: Are you sure about this?

Julia: Lukas is a genius
with all things tech.

Yeah, but I barely trust
you. How can I trust him?

Whoa, you know I'm on
the Atrians' side, ride?

You, me, Julia.

Us minorities got to
stick together, you know?

You're minorities?

We were until the Atrians arrived.

All right.

I need whatever data you
can retrieve off this.

- Hybrid technology?
- Cool, huh?

Yeah, these phones are
cobbled together with whatever

we Atrians can find or smuggle

into the sector.

Power source and casing
are Atrian, but it's got

a human SIM card and main memory.

I can work with that.

Whoa.

This baby's been wiped.

Some kind of auto-erase, set to trigger

if the phone's been left idle too long.

See, I'm guessing that whoever owned it

didn't want anyone to
know what they were up to.

- So the data's gone?
- Oh.

That's the wonderful thing about data.

It's never truly gone. So step back...

And watch the magic.

Emery: That's our swim team.

I've never been a part
of something like that.

A team.

Even in the sector, I don't
really have many friends.

I was hoping to find some on the outside,

but... it's not that easy, is it?

Friendships are tough.

Even for humans.

Swimming is important here?

If our team beats Collier prep tomorrow,

then they go to state finals.

The first time our dad took
us to the lagoon by our house

on Atria, Roman just dove right in.

He's always been fearless that way.

But I needed a little nudge.

So my dad taught me to swim.

It's...

One of the earliest memories I have.

The two of us in that lagoon.

It seems like you guys
are incredible swimmers,

based on everything Ms. Benton was saying.

But there's nowhere to swim in the sector.

I haven't been in the
water since we got here.

Hey.

You need to see this.

("Diamond" by Lightning Dust playing)

What's Eric's record, again?

4:19.

Four minutes and 17 seconds!

(Students whistle, applaud)

Eric: She broke form.

Is that what we call freestyle?

(Applause dies away)

Then why don't you race her?

Head to head.

Because I'm not getting in the pool

with a disease-ridden tattie.

That's why.

I'm just concerned for my daughter

Have the Atrians even been tested

- for any diseases?
- Gloria: Yes, of course

- they have.
- Mom, you should've seen her.

She broke Eric's state record!

Like hell she did.

Hey, I've got an idea.

Why don't we let a dolphin on the team?

Or an alligator. They're
really fast swimmers, too.

Grayson: Come on, lots of athletes

have physical advantages. Michael Phelps...

He had double-jointed
ankles. Are you saying

you wouldn't want that on our team?

Okay. Enough. Sophia...

- I encouraged her. It's my f...
- No.

I wanted to do it.

I want to be on the team.

And I'm afraid that's not possible.

When your father and I

negotiated the integration program,

we both agreed that sports,

at least at the start,
might pose a security risk.

Emery: The meet is on school grounds.

You're saying you can't
protect them at Marshall?

Even if we did bring in
additional security, okay,

the board decided having
Atrians participate in sports

would be disruptive to the other students.

They've been training for years...

So you're leaving your
best swimmer off the team?

Right before a meet with Collier prep?

If she took you guys to state,

would that be disruptive?

Roman: Stop encouraging her.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Well, I think it's a great idea.

I mean, you want to talk
about unfair advantages?

Collier makes state every year

because they're a private school

and can pull in the best
athletes from the Gulf coast.

I mean, they're... They're a factory.

I say this year, we fight back.

Emery: See?

What's the problem?

I will talk to the board.

Okay? If I can reverse their
decision, I'm counting on

all of you to be on your best behavior.

Am I making myself clear?

(Sighs)

You need to think about this.

You're making yourself a
target for the Red Hawks.

Or any nutjob with a gun.

- We're already targets.
- I'm just saying

we should avoid taking
any unnecessary risks.

Risks?

Like keeping dad's phone?

That's different.

This is what dad wanted for us, Roman.

To be with the humans, part of their world.

I know you want to figure out

what dad was up to.

But this is how I am choosing to honor him.

Hey!

That was cool, what you did,

backing Sophia.

If you're a secret Red Hawk,

you're a pretty terrible one.

Look, you don't have to accept my parents

or trust them.

I'm not asking you to do that.

But you can trust me.

I'm not my parents.

I'm not... a Red Hawk.

I'm beginning to realize that.

I just wanted you to think I was normal,

at least for a little while.

Hey. I spent

half my life in and out of hospitals,

dealing with allergies and injections.

I know what it's like
to want to feel normal.

In that case, I have
three words for you, then.

Carb. Load. Dinner.

It's a tradition.

The night before a meet,
the swim team goes to the bug

to load up on pasta.

And you should come.

I've never been one to pass up a free meal.

(School bell ringing)

Lukas: So I've been able

to recover a big chunk of data.

But it looks like the only
thing this phone ever did

was text back and forth
with one other phone.

Just one? Yep.

And all the texts have
just been times and dates.

Every few days, up until a few weeks back.

My guess

is someone was setting up meetings.

Clandestine-style.

And that's it?

Well, I did find a video file
attached to an incoming text.

I mean, it was all encrypted, but...

I probably can get it to play.

It's just gonna take some time.

You keep it overnight.

It's safer with you than in the sector.

(Sniffs)

Mom?

What happened?

SEU guards were just here
with electronic scanners.

They were angry that they didn't

find anything. They know
about your father's phone.

I... I don't know how, but they know.

It's okay, Roman.

We can trust your uncle Castor.

I told him I gave you the phone to destroy.

Do you still have it?

It's gone.

I took care of it.

Do you have any idea why my father

would have had that phone?

No.

But the Trags were using the...

My father wasn't a Trag.

I know that, Roman.

But it doesn't take away the fact

that he was hiding it for a reason.

Are you certain

no one could connect the phone to you?

Or this family?

Like I said, it's gone.

This is Matt Bandell,

reporting from Edendale,

a town buzzing from the news that Sophia,

daughter of slain Atrian leader Nox,

will swim for Marshall high

I can't believe the board
is gonna let her swim.

You know that Tulane scholarship
you've been angling for?

All this coverage could
put you over the top.

You really think anyone's
gonna want to watch a human swim

when there's mer-martians in the pool?

Incoming.

Emery: Hey.

Hey.

I heard there'd be pasta.

All you can eat.

You know, I read that the
whole carb-loading thing

is actually just a myth.

(Chuckles) You think it's just an excuse

for me to gorge myself
with fettuccine Alfredo?

Mmm, maybe.

Well, have you heard
the myth about the girl

who took a guy up on a date

even after he did something stupid?

No. I haven't heard that one.

Well, I guess some myths have some truth.

A date? That's what this is?

That so bad?

No.

Not at all.

(People shouting)

Smile for the camera.

Oh!

Got a tip you might be
carrying some illegal tech.

What? What? From who?

- Assume the position.
- (Grunts)

What are you doing?! You
should be protecting her!

He's clean.

Let go!

Move! Move!

(Whirring)

I don't suppose any of you
have heard of Jackie Robinson.

Well, he was one of the greatest
athletes in American history.

But because of the color
of his skin, it took

some time before he was
allowed to play in the majors.

I take it he was also
met with a warm welcoming?

He was called names, spit
on, even physically attacked.

But the important thing is...

He never rose to the bait.

So you're saying suck it up?

Throughout American history,
sports have been a crucial path

to acceptance for minorities.

But it's not enough to be good

at what you do.

Or even great.

I need all seven of you to be

exemplary.

Model citizens.

That means behaving in a
way that is beyond reproach

and never resorting to violence.

You, young lady,

need to learn to use your words.

You want words? How about...

- "Screw this"?
- Teri...

Why should we put up with this?

Being paraded around in front of the masses

like freaks... for you?

Sophia: No.

For me.

And not just me.

For my dad.

Please... Can I count on you guys?

Drake: Give her a break, Teri.

Freedom, right?

That is what we're fighting for.

Whatever.

You want to go swim against those

unmarked monkeys, go for it.

Just make sure you smoke 'em.

Hey.

The guards searched me

on my way into school this morning.

Did you tell anyone about
the phone? Did Lukas?

No, of course not.

Where is he?

We need to destroy it right now.

I think he's in the computer lab.

But, Roman...

Last time I saw Lukas, he said

he'd almost decrypted that video.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

I was just asking Roman
about his calculus notes.

Don't.

If you can't tell me
the truth, that's fine,

but please don't lie to me.

Hey, Sofia.

I got you a present.

- Seriously?
- I figured you needed

some new racing threads if you're gonna

be the talk of Edendale.

It's awesome. Thank you.

(Gasps)

Oh, my God.

What's wrong?

- This is over.
- Emery: Roman...

I'm talking to my sister, not you.

I know you want to
honor dad... But I am not

gonna let you risk your life to do it.

I love you, but I'm gonna drag you out

of that pool if I have to.

No...

You won't.

- Sophia...
- Roman, let her go!

You made your point.

It's not about making a point.

It's about keeping my sister safe!

- That's my job.
- No,

your job is to support her.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I know you didn't want me in
the sector because you thought

it was too risky.

I know you wanted me

to leave the carnival

because you thought I was in danger.

But here I am.

You're here safe because I protected you.

What are you talking about?

Just let me do the same for my sister.

So, I haven't played it yet.

Thought I'd wait for you.

Ready?

Take him to my office.

Do you know the penalties for
having a phone in the sector?

I know.

Confiscation of family
property, criminal prosecution,

- being sent to the crate.
- I said I know.

Not to mention what it would
do to the integration program

if it got out that an Atrian student had

a terrorist comm device.

- It's not mine.
- I know.

It was your father's.

How did you know that?

Our techs were able

to retrieve that much,
but nothing else of use.

- This is over, Roman.
- No, no, no, this is not over.

My father is dead, and I'm not even sure

I know who he was anymore.

Why did he have that
phone? Who was he meeting?

I knew your father.

And I can tell you

he was no terrorist.

Now, I will make sure

that the SEU guards back off your family,

but if you want to honor
your father's memory,

my advice would be to
forget you ever saw this.

Roman, you okay?

I was worried they might have
thrown you into Atrian juvie.

That video text you decrypted.

I saw the sender's number in sondiv.

If I gave you that number,
could you find the phone?

The one that sent the messages?

Yeah, probably.

But maybe we shouldn't.

Dude, those guards are serious.

Please.

This is important to me.

It's about my father.

Whoa. The phone belonged to Nox?

Why would he have a phone?

I'm not sure. But
whatever his reasons were,

he was willing to risk everything.

That's why I have to
find that second phone.

I need to know who he
was communicating with.

Lukas: Okay, I've set this up

to ping the phone that sent the text.

Roman: Ping?

Yeah, um, we send the signal out

to the other phone, and if it's on,

we get a ping, like an echo.

It'll help us find the direction.

What are our chances of finding it?

Are you Atrians familiar with the saying

"a needle in a haystack"?

Do it.

(Chiming) Oh.

What? What's wrong? Did it work?

No, it's... it's saying the other phone

is within a few hundred yards.

Whoever your father was communicating with,

is here.

At school.

Hey, Sophia?

I just wanted to break the ice.

There's a lot of hate from Collier

about an alien swimming for Marshall,

but I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

A peace offering.

It's a sports drink... My pre-race ritual.

- What's in it?
- Uh, fruit juice,

electrolytes, that sort of stuff.

Cheers!

(Laughs)

Good stuff, right?

Oh, there's some caffeine in there, too.

(Coughing) Wait a minute.

You aliens are allergic
to that stuff, aren't you?

Maybe that will slow you down.

(Loud, pained coughing)

Guys, is that supposed to happen?

(Coughing continues)

Julia: Sophia!

Sophia?

Guys, she can't breathe.

I need to get help.

(Wheezing loudly)

- Hey.
- Sophia.

Move, move, move, move, move! Sophia.

- (Wheezing)
- Try to breathe.

Give her room.

(Gasping)

I said, get back.

Why don't you get back... tattie lover?

Who you calling tattie?

Roman? Roman?

There's something wrong with Sophia.

The paramedics are on their way, but...

Go!

Somebody call 911!

- Help me get her to the locker room.
- No, you shouldn't move her.

Listen, I can help her, but
I can't do it here. Trust me.

What did you give her?

- Caffeine?
- It's not my fault

E.T. drank it.

What you're saying makes me feel unwelcome

and fills me with rage.

There. I used my words.

(Groaning and grunting)

Just breathe. Right. Okay.

That's cyper.

- Paramedics are on the way.
- She's my sister. I've got this.

- No, you don't.
- She's an Atrian.

You don't know the first thing about this.

Please give us some privacy.

Roman, I'm not going anywhere

until the paramedics arrive.

- All right?
- (Sophia gasping loudly)

If you can use cyper

to save her, why don't you?

I can't while she's here.

(Panting)

It's anaphylaxis. She's
having an allergic reaction.

- Emery, are you sure?
- This happened to me

enough times. I should know better.

I can fix this.

- Is there epinephrine in here?
- There should be.

(Sophia gasps loudly)

What are you doing?!

(Loud, guttural gasping)

(Silence)

(Coughing)

(Coughing and wheezing)

She's all right.

All right?

It's okay. Hey. Hey.

(Coughing, loud panting)

(Loud shouting)

(Screaming, shouting)

Let her go!

(Grunting and shouting)

Come on!

Screw it.

(Grunting)

(Grunting)

Ooh!

Seriously?

Deal with it.

(Air horn blaring)

The next person to throw
a punch will be expelled.

The meet is canceled.

Collier, head to the locker room.

Marshall, to the auditorium.

Now!

The Marshall swim team

will be suspended from competition.

You'll forfeit all further matches.

- Your season's over.
- Are you serious?

- Wait.
- It's not their fault. It's mine.

No.

I put the integration
program on the line today.

I trusted you all,

and you let me down.

Still... when Nox,

one of the founding
members of this program,

passed away, many feared that
his dream would die with him,

but after today's events...

I know that's not the case.

True, the meet was an unqualified disaster,

but for the first time in history,

humans and Atrians were
fighting alongside each other.

You were fighting for each other.

And I view that as a victory...

One I can build on,

so there will be no
further disciplinary action.

You can go.

Wait.

We came here to swim.

After everything that's happened,

can we at least have that?

Eric: What's the point?

We already forfeited the meet.

There's no one here to see it.

We're here.

The pool is yours.

One hour.

("Lovely Cup" by Grouplove playing)

Don't think I'm taking it easy on you

because you almost just died.

Don't think I'm taking it easy on you ever.

Taylor: On your marks,

get set...

Go!

(Cheering)

Thank you.

So, cyper is real?

You know.

That's how Roman saved you.

Honestly, I'm relieved.

I hated having to lie to you.

Why couldn't you just tell me the truth?

Cyper only works when it's
mixed with Atrian blood.

If people found out that
it could cure disease

and bring you back from
the brink of death...

Atrians would become lab rats.

But Roman should know he can trust me

after all we've been through.

He wanted to protect you.

Just knowing about cyper

could be dangerous.

People would kill for
that kind of information.

That still doesn't explain
why he's been avoiding me.

Well,

all I can tell you is
that he cares about you

and he'd be with you
if he thought he could,

which changes everything.

Right?

I don't need to be protected all the time.

That's not the relationship I want,

but I am glad he has you and
Lukas to talk to... really.

So we're okay?

Always.

I'd better go.

Hey.

So much for normal.

(Chuckles)

You mean most high schools don't get

into interstellar brawls?

Or save aliens from medical crises.

(Laughs)

Nope, just us.

What happened there?

I, uh, tried to punch a Collier swimmer

and missed,

but this vending machine

is real unhappy about getting in my face.

(Laughs)

You know, I'm quite a virtuoso

with a first aid kit.

("Face The Sun" by James Blunt playing)

Lukas: Hey.

Hello, Earth to Roman.

So,

I lost the signal.

I had it, but then it started

moving off fast like
someone was driving away.

Uh, towards the sector?

No, somewhere into the burbs.

Sorry, Roman.

♪ ♪

You were right...

About joining the swim team... I was naive.

I'm the one who should be apologizing.

I was being overprotective.

And holding back the people I love...

That's not...

It's not serving anyone.

It's just, with dad gone,

I feel like I'm the one who's supposed

to be looking out for you, you know?

He would have been so proud
to see what you did today.

Did you ever find out what
dad was doing with that phone?

I know he wasn't a Trag.

But he was communicating with
someone outside the sector.

It must have been important enough

for him to keep it a secret from us.

Well, whatever the reasons are,

I'll get to the bottom of it.

But not tonight.

No, not tonight.

Gloria: I'll tell the SEU guards
to back off Roman's family.

I destroyed Nox's phone.

Castor: Does Roman suspect anything?

Roman suspects everything,
but he doesn't know for certain

that I was the one who ordered the search.

Make sure things stay that way.

You can count on me.

I appreciate it

and I'll repay the favor, but, Castor,

do not try to leverage
this or use it against me.

That's not a mistake
you can afford to make.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Glad to be of service.

(Water sloshing over phone)

Gloria: Show daddy how you swim.

Let's get in.

Do you want to get in?

Should we get in?

Yeah?

Are you seeing this, Nox?

Here we go. Yeah.

He's amazing.

Our son is amazing.

Show daddy how you swim.

Come on, show him. Show him.

Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

Oh, you're doing great.
