Star-Crossed

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.

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...

Isn't it illegal for Atrians to have phones?

Yes, but it's important that I find out what's on this one.

Do you have any idea why my father would have had that phone?

Whoever your father was talking to,

it was someone Human.

The closer she is to me, the more danger she's in.

You won't even talk to me now?

I can't.

Some of these Tatties

have learn how to remove their markings

and embed themselves in our society?

He was a traitor.

We will unleash

black cyper on the humans.

Tomorrow begins

a new phase of the integration program.

The Atrian Seven will be taken by bus into town.

Once there, you'll be free to explore Edendale.

Now, your curfew still stands.

The bus will take you back

to the Sector at 9:00 pm sharp.

So a dog with a longer leash.

We haven't put you down yet.

It's an opportunity for Atrians

to experience more of human culture.

- Is it even safe for the Atrians? - SEU guards

will be patrolling Edendale just like they do here at Marshall.

And we can go anywhere we want?

I'd rather go back to the Sector.

Now, there's an idea.

We'll be monitoring your progress very closely

over the next few months.

If you break these rules, you'll lose those privileges.

But if you go by by them, it can lead to greater freedoms outside

the Sector for all Atrians.

Congrats.

This is pretty epic.

Do you think they're ready for the main streets in Edendale?

I guess we'll find out.

Well, good luck...

On your new beginning.

- That's it. - Allright.

You too.

I got them. Two tickets, The Omen, classic, midnight screening.

You, me, bucket of popcorn...

some scares...

maybe a little cuddling.

Wow, you think of everything.

It's all for you Emery!

Its... it's from the movie.

Oh I know.

What I didn't know is what a colossal nerd you are.

Hey, Lukas.

Any luck with the phone?

No, I still haven't been able to ping its location.

You know, whoever has it must have turned it off

after they left the swim meet.

You all right?

Yeah. I just... I still can't believe

my father was talking to someone on a Trag phone.

I was hoping my first night in town

would give me the chance to find out who it was.

Let me know if that phone is turned on.

Tomorrow, seven Atrians

will be given new freedoms.

For our next move...

The Trags must call on one.

Drake.

You must deliver this to our operative

living outside the Sector.

She's had her markings removed.

How do I find her?

There's a loose slat under a blue bench in the town square.

Leave a note for her inside

with a meeting place and time.

Beaumont employed this method to reach her.

It's less risky than traceable technology.

After I deliver it, what then?

The operative will do the rest.

Humans see freedom for the Seven as the next step

toward peaceful integration.

For us...

it is an opportunity.

I want those animals out of my house.

This is exactly why we built this safe room.

This is retaliation, isn't it?

For letting

the Atrian Seven into town.

You did this.

I did it for him.

Integration was the only way to give him a future.

We were lucky we heard the police scanner

and had time to hide.

You heard...

Red Hawks beat a shop owner

half to death for supporting the Atrians.

If they did that to a human,

what do you think they'll do to your son?

I need to take him somewhere he'll be safe.

Eljida.

Gloria, no.

What choice do I have?

Nox promised that he would take our son there

if things ever got too dangerous.

Well, didn't he also say only an Atrian can find it?

It's weird to think that tomorrow

Atrians will walk these streets for the first time.

It's pretty incredible.

Wish my parents felt that way.

You don't think your parents will order

some kind of Red Hawk attack, do you?

No way. I mean, they hate the Atrians,

but they would never... hurt them.

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. - No, no.

We can talk about anything.

Or not talk.

Uh, it's... it's Eric.

Um... one sec.

Yeah.

Hey.

No. I'm out right...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sl... Slow down.

Fine.

Is everything all right?

Eric needs a ride.

I guess, uh, it's an emergency.

- Okay. Let's go. - Well, you want to just

save me a seat?

Seat, sure.

Popcorn...

I make no promises.

- ? ? - Come on.

Go, go, go!

Come on, let's go! Let's go!

What's going on?

Come on, man! Gun it!

Wait till those tattie-lovers see what we did to their houses!

That's what I'm talking about!

- Who are these guys? - I don't know.

- What do you mean, you don't know? - They asked me to be

a lookout after the Red Hawk meeting tonight.

The Atrians aren't even in town yet, and already you're pulling this crap?

Look, I just thought we were gonna go spray-paint some graffiti or something,

- but things got a little out of hand. - How out of hand?

- (siren wailing) - Cops!

- Come on, man, let's go! - Come on, move!

- Move! - (tires squealing)

Foot it! Come on! Gray, come on!

? ?

Good evening, Officer.

? ?

The signal echoed back last night,

and then again this morning.

Where's it coming from?

Upstairs, third floor.

Here? At the school?

We're about to find out.

Where's Grayson?

I don't know. Why don't you call him?

He's not answering his cell.

He left to pick you up last night.

He did, but...

Eric, what's going on? He never made it back to

the movie last night, and he wasn't in class this morning.

: All right, look...

Grayson got arrested.

Arrested?

For what? What did you... what did you do?

I... Look: If you want to know more, you're gonna have to talk to him.

I gotta go.

The phone should be in here.

It's got tech, just like your dad's phone.

This handwriting...

this is my father's.

Okay, what handwriting? It's blank.

Atrians can see farther into the UV spectrum than humans.

Photoreceptors in our eyes pick up colors you can't,

like ultraviolet.

"Escape is possible.

Leave by the Dream Gate.

Journey by way of the Ebbing Sun.

If you are an Atrian, you will see.

Don't forget your history.

An Atrian will know what to do."
