All language subtitles for The.Orville.S01.03_English

Oh, my God.
She's so adorable.

And she's
healthy.

15 pounds, two ounces.

About average
for a newborn Moclan.

A female baby born to a member
of an all-male species.

Yeah. Bortus, this kid
is one in a million.

ISAAC: In fact,
a Moclan female is born

roughly once
every 75 years.

Well, here's to the
only girl in town.

KLYDEN:
If you all do not mind,

I would like to be alone
with my mate for a moment.

Totally fine.

We should be
on the bridge, anyway.

Come on, guys.

Congrats, you two.

It must be done.

Yes. I will make
the arrangements.

Yaphit, there's nothing
wrong with you.

Oh, I'm pretty sure
there is, Doc.

I haven't been retaining
fluids like I usually do.

My quarters look
like a swamp.

It's a mess.

There's absolutely no evidence
of fluid loss whatsoever.

And-and then
there's this cough.

(coughs) Right?

You don't have lungs,

which means you
don't have a cough.

Yaphit, you've been in sickbay
three times this week.

I know what you're doing.

Claire, look, just let me
take you out on one date.

If you have a crappy night,

I promise I'll never
ask you again.

Yaphit, no.

Besides, we're
incompatible species.

It's impossible.

Huh? There's more
where that came from.

Get out.

All right.

How's it going, man?

BORTUS: Dr. Finn. Bortus, hi.

Hey, have you guys settled on a
name for your little girl yet?

We're all feeling a little funny
just calling her "the baby."

A name would be inappropriate
at this time.

Doctor, I require
your help.

Sure. What do you need?

It would take two weeks
for the Orville

to reach my home planet, Moclus,

from our present location.

And I do not believe the captain
would be able to divert course.

Therefore, Klyden and I
would like you

to perform the procedure.

What procedure?

To conform our child.

To make her a male.

♪

♪

Bortus, there's no way in hell
I'm doing that.

May I ask why not?

You have to ask?

Because I will not perform
a sex change

on a perfectly healthy newborn.

You ever hear
of the Hippocratic Oath?

It is my understanding
that as a doctor,

your duty is to cure illness.

Bortus, this is not an illness.

Your child was born female.

I got news for you.

It happens all the time.

My world is different
than yours.

I would hope that
you would respect that.

I am a Union doctor
serving on a Union ship,

and I will not perform a sex
change on a newborn infant.

(guns cocking)

That's far enough, señor.

It's over, Vasquez.

Surrender now and maybe we'll
ask the judge to go easy on you.

I think maybe you are blind,
señor.

You're outnumbered, and my rifle
is aimed at your head.

There's an entire regiment
on the way.

Give yourself up
or you die here.

You are bluffing.

There is no cavalry.

You willing to
take that chance?

(gun hammer clicks)

You shoot us,
you'll hang for it.

Perhaps we settle this
the traditional way.

You mean a showdown.

If that's the way
you want it.

No, señor. We will have
a dance contest.

Wait, what?
What is this, man?

What-what...
This-this is where

we're supposed to have the showdown.
Yeah. What the hell is this?

I have taken many years
of jazz and tap.

If you can beat me
in a dance-off,

I will surrender.

Gordon, what the hell is
going on, man? What is this?

I messed around
with the program. I wanted,

I wanted to mix it up
a little bit. You don't like it?

I infuse many different styles
of choreography

to make the steps my own.

You will be defeated, señor.

(door opens)

Captain, I must speak with you
immediately.

Bortus, can't it wait, man?

We're in the middle
of a game here.

It is a matter of great urgency.

(sighs) All right,
I'll be back.

Hey, while I'm gone,
fix this thing, huh?

Okay. Will do.

("Girls Just Want to Have Fun"
by Cyndi Lauper playing)

All right, what
is so urgent?

You know, I get, like,
one free hour a week.

Coffee.

Captain, Dr. Finn
has refused to perform

a necessary medical procedure
on my child.

Medical procedure? What kind?

I thought she said
your kid's totally healthy.

I have asked her to see
to the conversion of my child

to the male gender.

She has refused.

I request you order her
to comply.

You want to perform

a transgender operation
on a baby?

Bortus, that is
completely unethical.

On my world, it would be
unethical not to do so.

Why not just let the kid
decide for herself

when she's old enough?

Captain, in human biology,

is there not an occasional
mutation called a cleft palate?

Yeah, sure. What happens to a
child born with this condition?

It's usually corrected
right after birth,

takes about 12 seconds.

And why do you not wait and let
the child decide for himself

whether he wishes
to correct this condition?

(laughs)
Oh, my God.

You're kidding, right?

Bortus, that is
completely different.

Being a girl is not a condition.

There are no health risks.

Having a vagina doesn't
give you a-a lisp.

I mean, depending
on how you use it.

It is different
for my people.

On our planet,
there are no females.

For you to judge us
by human standards is unfair.

All right, look, even if
I was not against this,

we are on a Union ship.

And, for that matter, your
planet is a member of the Union.

For me to order Claire
to do something like this

would be in violation
of a hundred laws.

Captain, I implore you...

Bortus, I'm sorry.
I'm not gonna do it. All right?

Request denied.

Dismissed.

(sighs)

There's the son of a bitch.

How long until it collides
with the planet?

One month, 17 days.

Well, that gives us
a little time.

Lieutenant Lamarr,
activate cutting beam.

Have you checked
in with Bortus?

I gave him the rest
of the day off.

He was pretty wound up.

I feel so sorry
for that baby.

There's nothing sadder
than an unwanted child.

(sighs)

I got to believe,
at the end of the day,

he has an
open-minded conscience.

Oh, are you guys talking about
Bortus's baby's sex change?

My God, does the whole ship
know about this?

Yes.
Pretty much.

Captain, I do not understand
the reason for this conflict.

Would the gender alteration
procedure harm the infant

or endanger her life?

There are different
kinds of harm, Isaac.

Psychological
harm, for one.

I'd have been
pretty pissed off

if my parents had made
the unilateral decision

to make me a guy.

And while it might have saved me
an entire marriage if they had,

it still would have been wrong.
Oh, thanks.

You guys don't think that
Bortus and Klyden will love her

any less than they would
a male baby, do you?

Well, they'd lose a lot
of friends around here

really fast if they did.

Sir, the asteroid
is breaking up.

The tractor beam can now
alter the path

of the individual fragments.

Lieutenant,
give them a shove.

All right, sir.
Shoving beam on.

Trajectory altered.

The fragments will no longer
collide with Elnath 4.

Well, couldn't save a marriage,
but we just saved a planet.

ALARA:
Captain, we're receiving

a transmission from Moclus.

It's from the head
of Internal Affairs,

a Minister Kaybrak.

Put him on.

Channel open.

Minister Kaybrak,
this is Captain Ed Mercer.

What can I do for you?

Captain, I am informing you
that we are sending a ship

to rendezvous with the Orville
near the Pleiades cluster.

ED:
A ship?

We don't have any
rendezvous orders. What for?

A vessel was requested
by one of your officers.

We are coming
to take the Moclan female.

I want you to tell me just what
the hell you think you're doing.

You want to set up a rendezvous
with another vessel,

you go through Kelly or me.

I am sorry, Captain,
I had no choice.

Don't give me that crap, Bortus.
You are a Union officer.

Do you have any idea the kind of
position you're putting me in?

I am not asking you
to participate, sir.

Klyden and I will transfer

the child to the Moclan vessel,

where she will
undergo the procedure.

The Orville
need not be involved.

The Orvil is involved, Bortus.

By the very fact
that we are the ones

transporting the baby.

What would you
have us do, Captain?

The doctor will not perform
the procedure here,

so we are left with
no other alternative.

That baby was born on a
Union ship to my second officer.

Which means that as
long as she is aboard,

her safety is my responsibility.

With all due respect, sir,
we do not see it that way.

And I do not believe
the Moclan ship will, either.

What does that mean?

What, are you...
what, are you implying

this could lead
to a military conflict?

Bortus, your people
are members of the Union.

Which, by the way,
could be jeopardized

if the admiralty decides
that this is unethical.

Do you see the size
of all of this?

Permission to return
to my station, sir.

No, you're relieved of duty.

(door whooshes open)

(door whooshes shut)

Thanks.

Thanks.

(both sigh)

Kelly, we are doing
the right thing here, yeah?

What do you mean?

Are you doubting it?

Let's say you and I had a baby.

On purpose?

Yeah, and-and imagine

that baby was born
with a third leg.

Like, a whole, full-sized leg?

Yeah, like a, like
an actual leg, with, like,

a foot on the end of it
and everything.

And we had
the doctor remove it.

Now, no one would think twice
about that, right?

Even though there are species

in the galaxy
with three legs,

we would be
conforming that child

to our species' appearance,

and we wouldn't have
any moral qualms about it.

Do you actually believe

that's the same thing
as changing a girl into a boy?

No, I don't.

I-I'm just...
I'm just policing myself,

because we all know
how easy it is

to judge another
culture's way of life

just because
it's alien to us.

But you have to balance that

against some universal code
of ethics.

I mean, suppose
it was their custom

to kill all newborn females.

Should we respect
their culture then?

The Moclans view

the female gender as a handicap.

There's one person on board
who might be able to help.

You ready?

I do not understand
the purpose of this.

The purpose is to get you
to blow off some steam.

I know you've been upset

since the captain
suspended you from duty.

I was unaware that blood sports
were popular on Earth.

Mm, boxing's been gone
a few centuries now,

but Commander Grayson
taught me the basics,

and trust me, it's an art form.

It is my understanding
that striking a fellow officer

is a court-martial offense.

Well, I won't tell if you won't.

Although,
a Xelayan female

versus a Moclan? I'm sure the
crew would love to take bets.

Here we go.

Round one, ding, ding.

What is "ding, ding"?

Never mind.

Come on, put your hands up.

Protect your face.

(exhales)

That's more like it.

Okay.

My turn.

(grunting)

Not bad for a female, huh?

I am growing weary
of my shipmates

imposing their will
upon my family.

Have you ever stopped to think
that maybe they're right?

I will decide what is best
for my child!

(groans)

(moans)

(sighs)

Bortus. What happened to you?

There was an explosion
in engineering. I am fine.

Why the ice pack?

Dr. Finn can repair your injury.

Do you not have somewhere
you need to be?

You are snippy.

I am not snippy.

Very well.

I'm going to get new clothing
for our trip to Moclus.

Mind the baby.

Fine.

GORDON:
Oh. Sorry, Klyden.

Hey, yo, Bortus,
mind if we come in?

Now is not a good time.

What happened to your head?

I said go away.

Listen, we feel really bad about
everything that's been going on,

so we thought you might
need a little cheering up.

How about a beer and a movie?

I am not in the mood.

Ah, come on.
You're laid up anyway.

What do you say? A couple of
brews and an old Earth flick.

Huh?

SANTA (over TV):
Rudolph. Rudolph, please.

Would you tone it down a bit?
(Rudolph's nose ringing)

I mean, that nose of yours.

I... That nose.

That beautiful, wonderful nose.

RUDOLPH:
Huh?

Rudolph, Christmas is not off.

What I'm trying to say is,

Rudolph, with your nose
so bright,

won't you guide
my sleigh tonight?

It will be an honor, sir.

(cheering)

Okay, Rudolph. Full power.

(Rudolph's nose ringing)

Up, up, up and away!

(movie stops playing)

Of course.

Without Rudolph's nose,

Santa would not have been able
to complete his voyage.

Looks like Santa got
pretty lucky, huh?

Christmas would have been ruined

if Rudolph
had been euthanized at birth,

as his father wished.

Yeah, I don't... I don't know
if that was ever on the table.

What was clearly a deformity

became a supreme advantage.

One can never know.

Please, watch the child for me.

I must find Klyden.

Yeah, no-no problem.

Hey, he just left his baby
with two drunk dudes.

Reminds me of my dad.

Ah, I miss him.

Klyden, we must speak.

About what?

I have had cause
to reconsider the...

We require privacy.

Leave now!

Wow. Nice day to you, too, dick.

Klyden...

I believe we should leave
our baby unaltered.

What?

Bortus, you cannot be serious.

I am.

We must raise the child
as a female.

Out of the question.

Why would you suggest
such a thing?

Because I have witnessed events
that have opened my eyes.

We do not know what kind of
future we are taking from her.

She may be destined
to do great things as a female.

Impossible.

Klyden, you must hear
the tale of Rudolph.

You will rethink your
conviction, I promise you.

My conviction will not change.

You cannot be certain of that.

Indeed, I can.

How?
Because...

I was born a female.

Klyden, how could you
have kept this from me?

I am your mate.

When we first met,
I did not know.

My parents had
the procedure done

on Moclus soon after I was born.

And when did you find out?

When you were assigned
to the USS Clemens

and I moved on board with you.

It was my first examination
by a non-Moclan physician.

The doctor discovered
evidence of the alteration.

I was unprepared.

And why did you not
tell me then?

(baby crying)

Because I did not
want to lose you.

Klyden, I love you.

That has not changed.

I am angry because
you withheld this from me.

You lied.

I did not believe
it was of consequence.

That is not the reason,
and you know it.

Your parents

made this decision for you.

You do not know what your life
would have been like.

I would have been an outcast.

Do not pretend otherwise.

Or perhaps you would have
achieved glory

for guiding Santa Claus
on Christmas Eve.

What?
(comm beeping)

KELLY: Bortus, the captain says
get your ass up here.

The Moclan vessel
is approaching.

(door whooshes open)

ED: As if all this couldn't get
any more complicated.

I do not see any complication.

The child will be taken
to Moclus,

where she will undergo
the corrective procedure.

Don't start passing out penises
just yet, Captain Vorak.

The parents are in disagreement
about what's best for the child.

In such an instance,
the Moclan state

is ethically bound
to side with the parent

in favor of correcting
the condition.

"Condition."

So to you people,
being a woman

is like having
chronic diarrhea.

Look, Kel, I think
we should focus on...

Hey, Doc, I'm not feeling well.
I've had the tits all day.

Captain Vorak, I will not
allow that child to be taken

off the Orville
without Bortus's consent.

Look, I suggest we all
just take a beat here,

let the admiral sort this out.

In the meantime, you can
hang out on our ship.

We have board games.

We have Scrabble.
We have Candy Land.

We have Monopoly.

You can be the car.

Ah, ah, Kel, I'm-I'm
always the car.

Yeah, but maybe this one
time, since he's our guest.

You can be the thimble.

The matter is settled.

We will depart for Moclus
within the hour,

and we will take
the child with us.

I'm sorry, I can't allow that.

You will stand aside.

I will not.
Captain, do you require...

No. Sit down, Bortus.

You are very fragile,
Captain Mercer.

Are you aware of this?

There's an antibullying law
named after me.

Yes, I'm aware of it.

Captain Vorak,
I formally request tribunal.

What? Bortus, you cannot.

It is the only way.

What's tribunal?
Like, take it to court?

In a manner of speaking.

We will be mocked
and ridiculed.

Our shame will be
on display for all.

Then do not compel our child
to undergo the procedure.

It is irrelevant.

No advocate on Moclus
would defend such a thing.

To my knowledge, the advocate
need not be a Moclan.

Captain, I request
that you be my advocate.

Wh... You want me
to be your lawyer?

Yes.

No, I won't do it.

BORTUS: Captain, I beg you.
But Kelly will.

What?

You took a year of
interplanetary law

at Union Point, right?
Yeah. One year.

Yeah, that's a year
more than I've had.

Ed, I don't want
this responsibility.

I cannot be the one
to determine that child's...

Commander.

Please.

I'll do my best.

Mercer to bridge.

Set a course for Moclus.

GORDON:
Aye, sir.

Our ship will
accompany you there.

How do I know you will not flee
with the infant?

Klyden and I will travel
with you on board your ship.

We will bring the child.

Very well.

(door whooshes open)

Safe travels, Bortus.

We'll see you soon.

"Between soul and sacrifice

beats the heart
of civilization."

What's that from?

It is from a novel
by Gondus Elden,

a Moclan writer of great esteem.

It is customary

to respond
with a fitting passage

from the literature
of one's own planet.

"I'm a survivor.

"I'm not gon' give up.

"I'm not gon' stop.

I'm-a work harder."

Those are words of great power.

Who wrote them?

I think it was actually
about 15 different people.

They must be very wise,
these 15 people.

Well, you should, uh,
probably get going.

It's amazing

Oh, my God, they're

Alara, those are testing zones.

What are you talking about?

Moclus's primary industry

They test explosives

We will have pants waiting for you.
He's kidding.

No, I'm not.

Tribunal begins.

Advocate Kagus,
please begin your inquiry.

Lieutenant
Commander Bortus,

how long have you and Klyden
been mates?

Six and a half years.

Tell me about your gomaskah,

what you humans call
"a first date."

Klyden and I shared an evening
meal at the dining establishment

atop the Moclan Central Arcade.

We then played combat games
in the environmental simulator.

Was it a pleasurable experience?

Yes. Between the two of us,

Klyden and I shot

339 simulated combatants.

Hot date.

And is it your wish
to deny your offspring

that same experience?

No. However...

Are you aware that by electing

to forego the gender
correction procedure,

you are condemning your child
to a life of shame?

She will forever be alone,

an object of disgust.

Never will she experience

a "first date."

BORTUS: I have recently
come to believe

that we are unable to make
such predictions with accuracy.

I feel the decision
should be hers.

How generous of you.

However, by the time

she is old enough to have
developed the sense of self

necessary to make that decision,

the childhood damage
will be done.

In all likelihood,
she will despise you

for not sparing her the pain
when you had the chance.

That is a risk
I am willing to take.

I am not.

(gavel pounds)

Observers will remain silent.

My inquiry is complete.

Advocate Grayson,
begin your inquiry.

Thank you.

Request Lieutenant Alara Kitan
to the inquiry chair.

Advocate Kagus,

why is it so bad
to be born female?

It is a serious
birth defect,

which severely limits
the ability to function:

biologically, intellectually
and socially.

Interesting.

Let's look at the
biological end of it.

What are the drawbacks?

Females are weak.

They do not possess
the physical strength

necessary for effective

participation in industrialized
Moclan society.

Hmm. Okay.

Arbitrator, would you be so kind

as to loan me your gavel thingy?

Thank you.

Advocate, would you do me
a favor and reshape this cube?

Impossible.

Why?

It is solid titanium.

All right.

Alara, would you mind
taking a whack at it?

The tribunal will note
that this female

was more than strong enough
to reshape the cube.

Show me a male in this chamber
who can do the same.

KAGUS:
Irrelevant.

She is Xelayan.

All members of their species

possess elevated
physical strength

due to a high level
of gravity

on their home world.

In fact, if there were
a Xelayan male here,

he could reshape
the titanium

with half as much effort.

I think the tribunal will grant

that since there's
no Xelayan male present,

that absurd statement
is purely speculative.

Now, onto your assertion about
male intellectual superiority.

Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna
ask you a few questions

that one might find on any
basic test of adult knowledge.

Go for it.

These are gonna be
kind of hard for you. Sorry.

It's okay, Commander.

It's for the baby.

Let's start off with
some Earth history.

A few hundred years ago,
the continents of Earth

were divided into separate
nation states

with individual
sovereign governments.

What was the capital of
the United States of America?

Um... pass.

No, it's-it's not
a pass kind of thing.

Just give me your closest guess.

What was the capital

of the United States
of America?

Nabisco?

No.

The moon?
Let's move on.

What are the four chambers
of the human heart?

The chamber of secrets,

the chamber of horrors,

the chamber of...

No, no, let me
get you halfway.

There's the left
and the right ventricle

and the left and the right...

I would like to switch
to movie trivia.

KELLY:
Let's try one more.

In the year 2056,

which genetic engineer
discovered how to target

and eradicate
individual cancer cells?

Doctor...

...Bill Nye the Cancer Guy?

Well, my point is made.

While this male may be
the fleet's best pilot,

he's also an idiot.

Sorry, Gordon.

Totally okay.

The tribunal must acknowledge
that there is no valid claim

for gender-based superiority.

Inquiry complete.

KAGUS:
Dr. Finn,

it is my understanding
that you refused to perform

the gender alteration procedure
on the child in question.

Correct?
That's right.

No ethical doctor anywhere
would do it.

Captain Mercer.

Tell me about your penis.

Uh... did I miss a segue
of some kind here?

(laughs) What?

Are you, what is the term?

Circumcised?

Gosh, you know,
I don't usually discuss that

till the second date.

I will rephrase.

Are there cultures
within the Union

who circumcise their offspring?

Yes, there are some.

Doctor, if a member
of one of those

races asked you to
circumcise their infant,

would you refuse?

That's completely different.

How?

It is a significant
bodily alteration,

and the infant has
no say in the matter.

A circumcision is not
a life-altering scenario.

And a life-altering scenario

would be unfair to the child.

Yes, it would.

A life-altering scenario,

such as a child shunned
by Moclan society,

planet-wide,

that would be unfair indeed.

Thank you, Doctor,
you've made my argument for me.

Absolutely not!

Arbitrator,

this... this freak

is an offense
to the tribunal!

Dude, you have been
a colossal dick

all friggin' day.

Shut the hell up.

Arbitrator,
to my knowledge,

there's no prohibition
against the testimony

of a Moclan female.

That is correct.

(cane tapping floor)

When I was born, long ago,

my parents made the choice

to allow me to remain female.

They believed that
to have me altered

would be an offense to nature.

So they took me far up
into the mountains

and built our family a home.

In seclusion.

They taught me to think,

to read, to wonder.

They taught me to love
the person I was.

When they passed,

I remained.

I had planned
to die up there.

Undiscovered.
(chuckles)

But that is
no longer possible.

The tribunal must not be allowed
to take from this child

the gift that I was given!

So I present
myself to you,

as a woman
without regret.

I am happy.

KAGUS:
A life

of isolation,
in the wilderness,

cut off from society.

This is your shining example?

"The blackest abyss
is a pock in the flesh

"when one has gazed in solitude

upon the infinity of self."

You dare to bastardize the words
of Gondus Elden

to serve your own purposes?!

If he were here,
he would spit on you for that!

Would he?

Why don't you ask him?

(council gasps and murmurs)

(murmuring continues)

No...

I do not believe it.

Well, look at that.

Your planet's greatest writer...
is a female.

There are many ways to
contribute to society, Advocate.

This was mine.

Unless there are any objections,

this tribunal is adjourned.

The arbitration council
is asked

to give their decision

within 12 hours.
(gavel slams)

Hey. How you doing?

I am fine.

Hmm.

She looks so peaceful.

She has no idea she's
in the eye of a storm.

I gave everything
I could out there.

I hope it was enough.

I am grateful for what you have
done for me, Commander.

Have you talked to Klyden?

He still believes she must
undergo the procedure.

Well, I doubt the
arbitration council does.

Heveena's testimony
changed everything.

I wish I had such... confidence.

But, whatever happens,

we will love her in every way
we are able.

You'd stay with Klyden
after all of this?

I must try.

He is still my mate.

And I love him.

We will now hear
the council's verdict.

FOREMAN:
We,

the arbitration council

of this honorable tribunal
of Moclus,

do not find sufficient cause
for suspension

of the procedure.

ARBITRATOR:
Very well.

It is the decision

of this tribunal
that the child

will receive
the corrective alteration.

Arrangements may be made at
the central medical facility

before the departure of
the starship Orville.

This tribunal is adjourned.

I'm so sorry, Bortus.

♪

Bortus and Klyden,

I am pleased to introduce
to you... your son.

Thank you, Doctor.

(baby cooing)

Captain, permission to
return to the Orville.

Of course, Bortus.

♪

I am...

sorry for all
that has happened.

It was not my intention
to hurt you.

I just wanted to do
what was right.

What is important
now is... Topa.

It is a good name.

And we must give
him a good life.

Whoever he becomes.

(cooing)
