1. I'm not seeing or hearing
Copy !req
2. any survivors under the rubble.
Copy !req
3. And the deceased are all Thanagarian.
Copy !req
4. - No parademons.
- Parademons?
Copy !req
5. There's no evidence
Copy !req
6. this was done by any Apokaliptan...
Copy !req
7. Yeah, the ring won't
translate that last word, but...
Copy !req
8. - I can tell you what it means.
- I got the gist. Thank you.
Copy !req
9. Commander Talak,
Copy !req
10. this Nth metal refinery fits
the profile of other facilities
Copy !req
11. raided by parademons on several planets.
Copy !req
12. Yet the attack pattern here
is different.
Copy !req
13. I don't see the usual evidence
of parademon weapons fire.
Copy !req
14. And the Javelin detected no trace
of Boom Tube activity in the area.
Copy !req
15. I assume your scans confirm the Nth
metal stockpiles here have been...
Copy !req
16. Been stolen, yes, Lieutenant Thal.
Copy !req
17. But the theft of a common element
is the least of our concerns.
Copy !req
18. Sir, Nth metal
is only common on Thanagar.
Copy !req
19. And thus Apokalips checks another rare
raw material off its grocery list.
Copy !req
20. As I said, Captain Hol,
Copy !req
21. there's no evidence this was
an Apokaliptan attack.
Copy !req
22. Our scans have only detected
earthling bio signs.
Copy !req
23. But fortunately for your friends,
Copy !req
24. not their bio signs.
Copy !req
25. You've been scanning us?
Copy !req
26. Smart. Trust no one.
Copy !req
27. Certainly not earthlings.
Copy !req
28. Sir, we sent you the evidence.
Copy !req
29. Earth meta-humans
are being kidnapped off planet
Copy !req
30. for use by Apokaliptan forces.
Copy !req
31. The metas are mind-controlled
Copy !req
32. into violent action. We've seen it.
Copy !req
33. Then, perhaps we should
send a hawk fleet
Copy !req
34. to quarantine Earth's populus
Copy !req
35. since the task is clearly too difficult
Copy !req
36. for certain officers
and their human sidekicks.
Copy !req
37. Don't call us sidekicks.
Copy !req
38. Respectfully,
Copy !req
39. the Justice League
has been traveling the galaxy
Copy !req
40. in peaceful cooperation with...
Copy !req
41. Yes, yes, you've sung this song before,
Copy !req
42. during your first contact apology tour.
Copy !req
43. You claim then, that you and
Lieutenant Thal were mind-controlled
Copy !req
44. into violent acts on Rimbor.
Copy !req
45. Thanagar is still working
to repair our reputation from that.
Copy !req
46. And now that Thanagar itself
falls victim to human attack,
Copy !req
47. look who shows up to sing a reprieve.
Copy !req
48. - Commander...
- You're done here.
Copy !req
49. Dismissed.
Copy !req
50. - Who's the...
- now?
Copy !req
51. Guy!
Copy !req
52. Relax. While you were squawking
with commander bird brain
Copy !req
53. I did some scanning of my own.
Copy !req
54. Boom Tubes may have left no trace
Copy !req
55. but I found an ion trail
from the attacker's ship.
Copy !req
56. They flew away on their own power,
Copy !req
57. meaning, they screwed up,
and we have a new lead.
Copy !req
58. You kinda want to kiss the ring
now, don't you?
Copy !req
59. Little bit? Kinda want to kiss the ring?
Copy !req
60. Come on! Somebody kiss it.
Copy !req
61. - Kiss it!
- Guy!
Copy !req
62. Mmm.
Copy !req
63. I cannot believe this is
your first breakfast burrito.
Copy !req
64. An entire meal wrapped
in a warm tortilla,
Copy !req
65. pure enjoyment for mouth and hands.
Copy !req
66. My sister and I
were raised in a castle where
Copy !req
67. eating with one's hands
was not encouraged.
Copy !req
68. I guess then you only ate
Copy !req
69. with those silver spoons
you were born with, huh?
Copy !req
70. Hmm. And your life with your
eminent scientist father
Copy !req
71. was one of economic hardship?
Copy !req
72. Uh, no.
Copy !req
73. Maybe this would be
a good time to get to it.
Copy !req
74. Listen, you've all reached a crossroads.
Copy !req
75. Vic, you have
your own decisions to make.
Copy !req
76. But Brion, Tara, Violet, Forager,
Copy !req
77. we feel the four of you
Copy !req
78. are ready to work
with the Justice League's
Copy !req
79. covert ops team to help mankind.
Copy !req
80. But being a hero isn't for everyone.
Copy !req
81. This a choice you each have
to make for yourself.
Copy !req
82. And the decision you make now
doesn't have to be a permanent one.
Copy !req
83. No judgement from us either way.
Copy !req
84. You've already risked
your lives for each other
Copy !req
85. and for the meta-teens
we rescued in Bialya.
Copy !req
86. That's enough.
Copy !req
87. I've made my choice.
Copy !req
88. And Bialya has proven
I made the right one.
Copy !req
89. To protect the innocent,
no matter the danger.
Copy !req
90. But facing danger isn't a
mandatory part of our mission.
Copy !req
91. Troia of Themyscira
and Garth of Atlantis
Copy !req
92. both left the front lines.
Copy !req
93. Now they fight the good fight
inside the system
Copy !req
94. as ambassadors to the United Nations.
Copy !req
95. And you need to know there is no
shame in leaving this life behind.
Copy !req
96. A few years back I quit the team with...
Copy !req
97. Wally West.
Copy !req
98. The first Kid Flash.
Copy !req
99. We went to college,
Copy !req
100. rented an apartment.
Copy !req
101. We had a life together.
Copy !req
102. And then, Wally,
Copy !req
103. my best friend,
Copy !req
104. came back to the life
and sacrificed everything,
Copy !req
105. so we could all be here today,
Copy !req
106. at the ruins of our former headquarters.
Copy !req
107. Our former home.
Copy !req
108. Another sacrifice made
for the greater good.
Copy !req
109. So, the three of us live with the
consequences of these sacrifices.
Copy !req
110. We stand for those who have fallen
Copy !req
111. and we fight for those who can't.
Copy !req
112. That's our choice.
Copy !req
113. But it doesn't have to be yours.
Copy !req
114. And today's the day we are to
make this important life decision?
Copy !req
115. Yeah.
Copy !req
116. Today's the day.
Copy !req
117. After extensive investigation,
Copy !req
118. the Justice League discovered
that the entertainment device
Copy !req
119. known as Goode VR goggles
Copy !req
120. is part of a major
meta-human trafficking chain.
Copy !req
121. These devices secretly test
users for the meta gene.
Copy !req
122. Subliminal messages
in the goggles' content
Copy !req
123. direct victims to discreet locations
Copy !req
124. for abduction, meta gene
activation, and enslavement.
Copy !req
125. New meta-humans
are then trafficked and traded
Copy !req
126. on the black market
by criminal organizations.
Copy !req
127. To save lives placed in
immediate danger by this scheme,
Copy !req
128. the Justice League took swift action
Copy !req
129. to shut down these trafficking centers.
Copy !req
130. Those rescued will be counseled
and rehabilitated here
Copy !req
131. at the S.T.A.R. Labs
Meta-human Youth Center.
Copy !req
132. The Justice League now calls
upon the governments of Earth
Copy !req
133. to investigate Goode World Studios
Copy !req
134. for their role in this
heinous plot against humanity.
Copy !req
135. Yes, the League saved a few kids
Copy !req
136. which they've since dumped in Taos.
Copy !req
137. But since these heroes failed to
coordinate with local authorities,
Copy !req
138. the big players in the
meta trafficking game
Copy !req
139. vanished into the woodwork,
Copy !req
140. further antagonizing national
and international governments,
Copy !req
141. with whom the League
should be cooperating.
Copy !req
142. Yes, cooperation, folks.
Copy !req
143. That's how a society achieves justice.
Copy !req
144. The people demand it,
Copy !req
145. the social media demands it,
Copy !req
146. foreign governments demand it
while threatening sanctions.
Copy !req
147. Even Gotham City Police
Commissioner James Gordon,
Copy !req
148. no relation, has shut down
the infamous Bat signal.
Copy !req
149. A clear good riddance to the ex-Leaguer.
Copy !req
150. With me today is the latest target
Copy !req
151. of the Justice League's
attacks, a close,
Copy !req
152. personal frenemy of the show,
Copy !req
153. please welcome Gretchen Goode.
Copy !req
154. The pop culture icon
known as Granny Goodness.
Copy !req
155. Thank you, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
156. Your flair for drama is always
the perfect spoonful of sugar
Copy !req
157. to choke on after the medicine
goes down.
Copy !req
158. You get me, old girl.
Copy !req
159. You really do.
Copy !req
160. What I get
Copy !req
161. is the gravity of the League's
accusations against my company.
Copy !req
162. Just as I get my responsibility
to own up to our mistakes.
Copy !req
163. Why, Granny, I expected a denial,
Copy !req
164. a counter attack.
Copy !req
165. But a mea culpa?
Copy !req
166. Yes.
Copy !req
167. I'm afraid one of my closest friends,
Copy !req
168. Dakar Marlo, director of Goode R&D
Copy !req
169. betrayed my organization,
Copy !req
170. my customers, and my trust.
Copy !req
171. He perverted our goggles
without my knowledge
Copy !req
172. or permission.
Copy !req
173. Sounds like you have the evidence
Copy !req
174. to bring this scoundrel to justice.
Copy !req
175. I do, and I would.
Copy !req
176. But Mr. Marlo was found
murdered this past August,
Copy !req
177. likely by the same villains
with whom he did business.
Copy !req
178. Then, perhaps justice
has been served up,
Copy !req
179. not by the League but by karma.
Copy !req
180. No, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
181. True justice
Copy !req
182. will be served up
by your dear old Granny.
Copy !req
183. All of my faulty devices
have been recalled.
Copy !req
184. I'll soon be offering new
and improved technologies
Copy !req
185. for the people's entertainment.
Copy !req
186. And Goode World Studios
Copy !req
187. will continue funding
the Meta-human Youth Center
Copy !req
188. for families harmed by Marlo's betrayal.
Copy !req
189. - So you can rest assured,
Copy !req
190. Granny will make
everything right as rain.
Copy !req
191. He took my purse!
Copy !req
192. Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
You're Garfield Logan?
Copy !req
193. Thank you!
Copy !req
194. The behavior of our stars
reflects on this studio,
Copy !req
195. - and you are trending!
Copy !req
196. Excellent work, Garfield.
Copy !req
197. Your mother would be so...
Copy !req
198. Don't even mention my mom!
Copy !req
199. And cut the Granny gimmick.
Copy !req
200. I know what you are, Gretchen.
Copy !req
201. You really have no idea what I am,
Copy !req
202. so mind your manners, child,
Copy !req
203. and your elders.
Copy !req
204. Bring it.
Copy !req
205. Good gosh.
Copy !req
206. Two years in space and I have
not missed Themyscira more
Copy !req
207. than at this very moment.
Copy !req
208. Great Scott! Up ahead.
Copy !req
209. We're coming up
on some kind of asteroid base.
Copy !req
210. One that's easily
twice the size of the Watchtower.
Copy !req
211. It's not every day the team
recruits a new member.
Copy !req
212. Today I'm happy to welcome four.
Copy !req
213. Terra, Geo-force, Halo and Forager.
Copy !req
214. Your new teammates,
Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle,
Copy !req
215. Kid Flash, Static and Thirteen
Copy !req
216. will be glad to have reinforcements.
Copy !req
217. And, personally,
Copy !req
218. I am thrilled we have
another alien on the team.
Copy !req
219. And two more girls.
Copy !req
220. We're keeping pace.
Copy !req
221. More girls...
Copy !req
222. I have given thought to this.
Copy !req
223. Despite my outward appearance,
Copy !req
224. I do not know that I am a girl or a boy
Copy !req
225. as Earth languages define the words.
Copy !req
226. Yeah, but your soul, it's from...
Copy !req
227. A Mother Box.
Copy !req
228. An approximate English translation
Copy !req
229. of the New Genesian word for what I was.
Copy !req
230. But what I am now
Copy !req
231. is just me.
Copy !req
232. Is that okay?
Copy !req
233. Beyond okay.
Copy !req
234. Oh, but I'm sorry.
Copy !req
235. I interrupted your briefing.
Copy !req
236. It's fine.
Copy !req
237. I'm truly thrilled you're
discovering who you are inside.
Copy !req
238. Plus, there's more good news.
Copy !req
239. Superboy and Tigress
are rejoining the team.
Copy !req
240. Keeping an eye on us?
Copy !req
241. Spending more time with my fiancée.
Copy !req
242. Recognized. Beast Boy, B19.
Copy !req
243. Garfield. Are you sure
you've thought this through?
Copy !req
244. Yeah. I want back on the team.
Copy !req
245. We were just noting the buzz online.
Copy !req
246. Gorilla heroics
got the itch scratchin', huh?
Copy !req
247. It's more than that.
Copy !req
248. I put Gretchen Goode on notice.
Copy !req
249. She might have me locked
into an acting contract,
Copy !req
250. but she doesn't control my off hours.
Copy !req
251. And I'm here to help take her down.
Copy !req
252. We don't have any leads on Goode yet.
Copy !req
253. But you're always welcome on the
team, little brother.
Copy !req
254. Can't send you on every stealth mission,
Copy !req
255. your powers are too recognizable.
Copy !req
256. But I'll juggle assignments to keep you
Copy !req
257. as busy as you want to be.
Copy !req
258. Looks like your team
just doubled in size.
Copy !req
259. Good. We need all the help we can get.
Copy !req
260. Oh, speaking of help.
Copy !req
261. Troia and Catherine are
taking the fight public again.
Copy !req
262. Despite Lex Luthor's short-sighted views
Copy !req
263. the Justice League
must maintain its autonomy.
Copy !req
264. Decisions by political committee
Copy !req
265. take too long, and could cost lives.
Copy !req
266. Behind us is the former site
of the Hall of Justice.
Copy !req
267. It's been two years since the Hall
was destroyed by alien attack.
Copy !req
268. And the committee to renovate
the site is deadlocked
Copy !req
269. on how to proceed.
Copy !req
270. Now, imagine this process...
Copy !req
271. Luthor's process
Copy !req
272. applied to the life and death
missions of the Justice League.
Copy !req
273. Really, Lex Luthor,
Copy !req
274. how do you find the time
to be a leader of nations
Copy !req
275. and the super villain
the League frames you to be?
Copy !req
276. It is exhausting, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
277. Honestly though, I have grown weary
Copy !req
278. of these tit-for-tat public statements.
Copy !req
279. Certainly the League sees the difference
between autonomy and oversight.
Copy !req
280. We need accountability and transparency.
Copy !req
281. That's why the UN has had a
satellite parked near the Watchtower
Copy !req
282. for the last two years.
Copy !req
283. So, we watch the Watchtower,
Copy !req
284. but who watches the watchman?
Copy !req
285. Even your own LexCorp
has oversight, correct?
Copy !req
286. Of course.
Copy !req
287. To avoid any conflict of
interests with my current duties,
Copy !req
288. I place LexCorp in a blind trust.
Copy !req
289. My sister Lena now runs LexCorp.
Copy !req
290. Miss Luthor recently made headlines
Copy !req
291. by pledging LexCorp funds
to the Meta-Human Youth Center.
Copy !req
292. Are you saying you had nothing to do
Copy !req
293. with Lena's charitable grandstanding?
Copy !req
294. Why, G. Gordon,
Copy !req
295. I'm not saying anything at all.
Copy !req
296. The ion trail leads
directly to target base.
Copy !req
297. An ion trail?
Copy !req
298. But my dear Barda,
Copy !req
299. that cannot be correct.
Copy !req
300. Not when we have
a clear policy of Boom Tubing
Copy !req
301. back and forth from all raid sites.
Copy !req
302. I was laying a trap for these vermin.
Copy !req
303. The time to hide is over.
Copy !req
304. Now we can fight...
Copy !req
305. What has Granny Goodness
taught you, child?
Copy !req
306. We serve only Darkseid.
Copy !req
307. And through me,
Copy !req
308. his will be done.
Copy !req
309. Granny will choose the time
for conflict.
Copy !req
310. And to be clear,
Copy !req
311. that wasn't torture, Desaad.
Copy !req
312. It was discipline.
Copy !req
313. I love Barda enough to
punish her for her own good.
Copy !req
314. But you'll see torture soon enough.
Copy !req
315. The Watchtower is very crash.
Copy !req
316. Never in a million years did I think
Copy !req
317. I would travel into space.
Copy !req
318. Victor, maybe next time you can...
Copy !req
319. No, no, no, thank you.
Copy !req
320. Uh, despite appearances I'm not
the Watchtower superhero type.
Copy !req
321. I'm getting my old body back.
Copy !req
322. And the only space I need
is my own room.
Copy !req
323. If I have to hear your phone
chime another text from Violet
Copy !req
324. I may go all Fatherbox on you guys.
Copy !req
325. It is from Violet.
Copy !req
326. - How did you...
- Please.
Copy !req
327. She's always texting you.
Copy !req
328. Yes.
Copy !req
329. I suppose she is.
Copy !req
330. Not me!
Copy !req
331. Violet! Lian spilled her juice.
Copy !req
332. - Not me! Not me!
- Coming.
Copy !req
333. Tara, it's time for Brucely's walk.
Copy !req
334. Oh, you got him. Thanks.
Copy !req
335. - Full house, huh?
- Yeah, yeah. Never a dull moment.
Copy !req
336. But the girls pull their weight, so,
Copy !req
337. we make do. Caffeine me.
Copy !req
338. We'll be right back after I
clean up this juice monster.
Copy !req
339. Not me!
Copy !req
340. You've built a home
full of love, William.
Copy !req
341. It is nice to see.
Copy !req
342. - Helga.
- I...
Copy !req
343. I feel so useless.
Copy !req
344. - Helga...
- Hear me out.
Copy !req
345. You've all done
so much for these children.
Copy !req
346. Yet I also wish to contribute.
Copy !req
347. Victor refuses to return to
his father or S.T.A.R. Labs.
Copy !req
348. And I believe I could
be of service to him.
Copy !req
349. But I would need
a fully equipped laboratory
Copy !req
350. to provide any assistance at all.
Copy !req
351. I realize it's a lot to ask.
Copy !req
352. But how else could I repay
the kindness you've shown me.
Copy !req
353. Big Barda, open fire for Granny.
Copy !req
354. Hail Granny Goodness!
Copy !req
355. Hail Darkseid!
Copy !req
356. Apokaliptan canon fire ain't no joke.
Copy !req
357. You're lucky I'm here
to cover your butt.
Copy !req
358. Returning fire.
Copy !req
359. Missiles through their shields.
Copy !req
360. Hitting target.
Copy !req
361. Now!
Copy !req
362. Cursed Hawks gave them
Nth metal missiles.
Copy !req
363. The impact triggered
a decompression in section 16.
Copy !req
364. No.
Copy !req
365. It hid an incursion
Copy !req
366. or failed to.
Copy !req
367. Barda, summon the Furies.
Copy !req
368. At last.
Copy !req
369. Huh, underwhelming security.
Copy !req
370. Stay whelmed.
Copy !req
371. We're not out of this yet.
Copy !req
372. - Stay what?
- Oh, uh,
Copy !req
373. - guess I picked that up from...
- The children,
Copy !req
374. I think we found them.
Copy !req
375. The missing eight from Markovia.
Copy !req
376. No.
Copy !req
377. All of them.
Copy !req
378. The end point of the light's trafficking
Copy !req
379. of meta-humans
to the forces of Apokolips.
Copy !req
380. That may not be the worst of it.
Copy !req
381. Look at the size of this thing.
Copy !req
382. Scans read all of the
stolen elements within it.
Copy !req
383. - Can you tell what it's designed...
- Furies!
Copy !req
384. Attack!
Copy !req
385. Stop! We don't want to hurt you.
Copy !req
386. Good.
Copy !req
387. Makes it easier to hurt you!
Copy !req
388. Whoa.
Copy !req
389. Enough, Desaad.
Copy !req
390. I know our master's machine isn't ready.
Copy !req
391. But if the Earth heroes
destroy the device,
Copy !req
392. will you explain to Darkseid?
Copy !req
393. Hmm.
Copy !req
394. Hmm. I thought not.
Copy !req
395. Mm. Their pain.
Copy !req
396. So excruciating. So glorious.
Copy !req
397. So instructive.
Copy !req
