Copy !req
2. Green Lantern: Stop!
Copy !req
3. You are the Green Lantern
known as John Stewart?
Copy !req
4. - I am.
- Your ring.
Copy !req
5. Welcome to Ajuris 5,
John Stewart.
Copy !req
6. There.
Copy !req
7. That's where he is.
Copy !req
8. What is this, some kind of trial?
Copy !req
9. I was on my way
to sell weapons on Ajuris 4.
Copy !req
10. I figured he was gonna try to stop me,
but his aim was off,
Copy !req
11. way off.
Copy !req
12. 3 billion.
Copy !req
13. That's how many were on that planet.
Copy !req
14. That scum's an obvious liar.
Copy !req
15. Nobody's lying.
Copy !req
16. I did it.
Copy !req
17. I'm guilty.
Copy !req
18. 3 billion gone.
Copy !req
19. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
20. Neither can I.
Copy !req
21. I want to take a closer look
at what happened.
Copy !req
22. Why? John admits he's guilty.
Copy !req
23. No one's disputing the facts.
Copy !req
24. Maybe I am.
J'onn, I need you to come with me.
Copy !req
25. Flash, Hawkgirl, can you buy us
some time in court?
Copy !req
26. You're asking the world's fastest man
to slow things down?
Copy !req
27. Won't be easy.
Copy !req
28. J'onn: So what do you expect to
find on this moon?
Copy !req
29. I don't know.
There's something bothering me.
Copy !req
30. Just call it...
Copy !req
31. An intuition?
Copy !req
32. Exactly.
Copy !req
33. John Stewart,
you may now question your accuser.
Copy !req
34. No questions.
Copy !req
35. None? Don't you intend to defend yourself?
Copy !req
36. No, I don't.
Copy !req
37. I object. You call this a trial?
Copy !req
38. I say it's a joke.
Copy !req
39. Are you out of your mind?
What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
40. Prepare to be dazzled.
Copy !req
41. Remove him.
Copy !req
42. Listen to me.
Copy !req
43. With something this important,
you got to hear both sides.
Copy !req
44. Flash, I told you not to get involved.
Copy !req
45. They're railroading you, pal.
Copy !req
46. Hey!
Copy !req
47. Female judge: Wait.
Copy !req
48. This being may have a point.
Copy !req
49. We don't want any lingering doubts
Copy !req
50. about our final judgment, do we?
Copy !req
51. Of course not.
But who would speak for John Stewart?
Copy !req
52. Don't you have any lawyers here?
Copy !req
53. We solved our lawyer problem
a long time ago.
Copy !req
54. However, you could speak for him,
if you wish.
Copy !req
55. But be aware, if you lose,
Copy !req
56. you'll share the same penalty
as the accused.
Copy !req
57. The same penalty?
Copy !req
58. You mean...
Copy !req
59. That's crazy.
Copy !req
60. No, that's how we solved our lawyer problem.
Copy !req
61. What's your answer?
Copy !req
62. Don't do it.
Copy !req
63. What, you think I'm gonna sit back and watch
Copy !req
64. while you play martyr?
Copy !req
65. I'll defend him.
Copy !req
66. Very well. Proceed.
Copy !req
67. Ahem.
Copy !req
68. Right, sure.
Copy !req
69. But first I'd like to say
a few words about...
Copy !req
70. About habeas corpus.
Copy !req
71. Yeah, habeas corpus.
Copy !req
72. And ipso facto and...
Copy !req
73. Phi beta kappa.
Copy !req
74. Waiter. Another round.
Copy !req
75. Why aren't you at the trial?
Copy !req
76. Heh. We couldn't stand it anymore.
Copy !req
77. John Stewart's made us all look bad.
Copy !req
78. So much for the vaunted loyalty
of the Lantern Corps.
Copy !req
79. Oh, don't get so high and mighty, lady.
Copy !req
80. If you're smart,
you'll stay away from him, too.
Copy !req
81. Otherwise, you'll wind up
reeking of his stench yourself.
Copy !req
82. Cowards!
Copy !req
83. My friends, please!
Copy !req
84. No weapons! No weapons!
Copy !req
85. You think I need this mace to take you down?
Copy !req
86. Grrr.
Copy !req
87. Raah!
Copy !req
88. Unh!
Copy !req
89. Hah!
Copy !req
90. Aah!
Copy !req
91. Aah!
Copy !req
92. No more.
Copy !req
93. Hawkgirl's right.
Copy !req
94. John Stewart's one of us.
Copy !req
95. And I'm going to help him.
Copy !req
96. Have you asked yourself,
Copy !req
97. why this rush to judgment?
Copy !req
98. If the ring wasn't lit,
Copy !req
99. you must acquit.
And furthermore...
Copy !req
100. Enough! You're just wasting time.
Copy !req
101. Who? Me?
Copy !req
102. Out of my way.
Copy !req
103. Now what?
Copy !req
104. Looks like we've got a surprise witness.
Copy !req
105. Surprise witness?
He was nowhere near the crime.
Copy !req
106. What kind of witness can he be?
Copy !req
107. A big scary one.
Copy !req
108. See anything wrong with this picture?
Copy !req
109. Where do I start?
Copy !req
110. The loss of life,
the echoes of our own pasts.
Copy !req
111. No, not up there. Down here.
Copy !req
112. It can't be.
Copy !req
113. But it is.
Copy !req
114. This moon is still orbiting a
planet which doesn't exist.
Copy !req
115. It should have flown off into space
Copy !req
116. the moment the planet was destroyed.
Copy !req
117. But it didn't, did it?
Copy !req
118. And the Nethorians would have
gotten me for sure
Copy !req
119. if it hadn't been for John Stewart.
Copy !req
120. He saved my life,
and risked his own to do it.
Copy !req
121. That's the kind of guy he is.
Copy !req
122. Thank you, Kilowog.
Copy !req
123. John couldn't have asked for a
better character witness.
Copy !req
124. Your turn.
Copy !req
125. Kilowog, can you tell me
Copy !req
126. exactly what a Green Lantern does?
Copy !req
127. Oh, that's easy. We catch bad guys.
Copy !req
128. Commendable.
Copy !req
129. But how do you know who the bad guys are?
Copy !req
130. How? Uh, I just know.
Copy !req
131. Oh, so, you're saying
Copy !req
132. you use your obviously superior intellect
Copy !req
133. to routinely sort out
matters of life and death?
Copy !req
134. I didn't say...
I mean...
Copy !req
135. Well, yeah. Kind of.
Copy !req
136. And then you and the other Green Lanterns
Copy !req
137. enforce these decisions
with those incredibly deadly rings.
Copy !req
138. I guess you could put it that way.
Copy !req
139. Who said you could do this?
Copy !req
140. Who gave you the right?
Copy !req
141. We did.
Copy !req
142. J'onn, I hope you're doing better than I am.
Copy !req
143. All I see are craters.
Copy !req
144. Well, I have found something,
but I'm not sure what.
Copy !req
145. Any idea what this thing does?
Copy !req
146. When I was a child on Mars,
Copy !req
147. we had small toys called Illusitrons.
Copy !req
148. They could project crude images
Copy !req
149. over objects and even empty space.
Copy !req
150. And you think this is a larger version.
Copy !req
151. The engineering principles appear to be the same.
Copy !req
152. So, it's an illusion.
Copy !req
153. It would explain why this moon's orbit
Copy !req
154. has remained intact.
Copy !req
155. But who...
Aah!
Copy !req
156. The secret will stay buried with them.
Copy !req
157. Aah!
Copy !req
158. This moon is filled with surprises.
Copy !req
159. I followed him here from Ajuris 5.
Copy !req
160. I had to, uh, borrow
Copy !req
161. one of the defense forces' fighters.
Copy !req
162. So, he's behind all this?
Copy !req
163. Not exactly.
Copy !req
164. It is time, brothers,
Copy !req
165. time to avenge 1,000 years of grievances.
Copy !req
166. Time to regain our power and dignity.
Copy !req
167. Our plan has worked flawlessly so far.
Copy !req
168. We've sown dissension among the Lantern Corps
Copy !req
169. and stained their reputation forever.
Copy !req
170. But beyond that, we've succeeded
Copy !req
171. in luring the leaders of
our most hated enemy
Copy !req
172. away from their home planet of Oa.
Copy !req
173. Yes, they're here...
Copy !req
174. The Guardians.
Copy !req
175. Destroy them!
Copy !req
176. Destroy them all!
Copy !req
177. No, my brothers. Not here, not now.
Copy !req
178. Our destiny lies elsewhere.
Copy !req
179. But rest assured, the Guardians will burn,
Copy !req
180. for we are the Manhunters!
Copy !req
181. No man escapes the Manhunters!
Copy !req
182. It's true that we Guardians control
Copy !req
183. the Lantern Corps' power source.
Copy !req
184. But the individual Lanterns
Copy !req
185. have complete autonomy.
Copy !req
186. So, if one of them does something wrong,
Copy !req
187. it's not your fault.
Copy !req
188. You misunderstand.
Copy !req
189. We give them autonomy
Copy !req
190. because we trust their experience and...
Copy !req
191. No other questions!
Copy !req
192. How much more must we hear?
Copy !req
193. We demand an immediate judgment!
Copy !req
194. I object!
Copy !req
195. Overruled.
Copy !req
196. Chief judge: Having heard all the facts,
Copy !req
197. we will now consider.
Copy !req
198. I did everything I could.
Copy !req
199. I wish you hadn't.
Copy !req
200. That was fast.
Copy !req
201. Chief judge: The facts are clear.
Copy !req
202. John Stewart is guilty.
Copy !req
203. Female judge: Do you wish
to make a statement
Copy !req
204. before we pass sentence?
Copy !req
205. No.
Copy !req
206. Very well.
Copy !req
207. The sentence is termination
Copy !req
208. for you and your advocate.
Copy !req
209. Whoa. Time out!
Copy !req
210. I want an appeal.
Copy !req
211. Will you show some dignity
for once in your life?
Copy !req
212. This isn't right. We can't just sit here.
Copy !req
213. We have to. Think of the others like us.
Copy !req
214. We all need to be held accountable.
Copy !req
215. We have too much power not to be.
Copy !req
216. Uhh! Unh!
Copy !req
217. Stop!
Copy !req
218. How dare you!
Copy !req
219. John's innocent!
Copy !req
220. That's your cue, Hawkgirl.
Hope you can hear me.
Copy !req
221. Loud and clear.
Copy !req
222. Ajuris 4
was never destroyed.
Copy !req
223. It's right where it always was.
Copy !req
224. It was all an illusion,
Copy !req
225. a frame-up, as they say on my planet.
Copy !req
226. You!
Copy !req
227. Aah!
Copy !req
228. Why did you do this to me? Why?
Copy !req
229. For...
For money.
Copy !req
230. Whose money?
Copy !req
231. The Manhunters'.
Copy !req
232. Come on!
Copy !req
233. G.L.!
Copy !req
234. We're too late.
Copy !req
235. We have to go back immediately.
Copy !req
236. Not so fast.
Copy !req
237. What's going on?
Copy !req
238. We don't have time for this.
Copy !req
239. Where are the Manhunters?
Copy !req
240. Headed back to Oa.
Copy !req
241. Back to Oa? They've been there before?
Copy !req
242. Yes. We created them there.
Copy !req
243. Say what?
Copy !req
244. It was before the Lantern Corps.
Copy !req
245. We thought robots would make good peacekeepers,
Copy !req
246. but they were flawed.
Copy !req
247. They couldn't understand the subtle gradations
Copy !req
248. between good and evil.
Copy !req
249. Why didn't you decommission them?
Copy !req
250. We reprogrammed them for lesser duties...
Copy !req
251. Tracking, hunting, guarding.
Copy !req
252. They didn't seem to object.
Copy !req
253. Not out loud, anyway.
Copy !req
254. Don't let up, brothers!
They're weakening!
Copy !req
255. They can't hide in there forever.
Rip it open!
Copy !req
256. Rip them to...
Copy !req
257. They can't stop us, brothers.
Copy !req
258. No one can!
Copy !req
259. Got your back.
Copy !req
260. Look out!
Copy !req
261. Use the gun! The gun!
Copy !req
262. You three take the north tower.
Copy !req
263. Kilowog and I will take the south.
Copy !req
264. Aah!
Copy !req
265. Manhunter, stop!
Copy !req
266. Not till we've regained what is rightfully ours.
Copy !req
267. Yours?
Copy !req
268. The power that the Guardians stole from us.
Copy !req
269. It was never yours.
Copy !req
270. It was always the Guardians'.
Copy !req
271. And they betrayed us,
Copy !req
272. just as they betrayed you.
Copy !req
273. Aah!
Copy !req
274. This power's our destiny.
Copy !req
275. No!
Copy !req
276. Aah!
Copy !req
277. Aah!
Copy !req
278. Now I am the power!
Copy !req
279. All is lost.
Copy !req
280. Not while I'm standing.
Copy !req
281. In brightest day, in blackest night,
Copy !req
282. no evil shall escape my sight.
Copy !req
283. Let those who worship evil's might...
Copy !req
284. Beware my power...
Copy !req
285. Green Lantern's light!
Copy !req
286. No!
Copy !req
287. We chose wisely when
we offered you the ring.
Copy !req
288. Thank you, John Stewart.
Copy !req
289. You're some fighter, lady.
Copy !req
290. But we already knew that, didn't we?
Copy !req
291. John, good work.
Copy !req
292. I guess we were wrong about you, John.
Copy !req
293. We should have known better.
Copy !req
294. Yeah, you should have.
Copy !req
295. Are you all right, John?
Copy !req
296. You believed in me,
Copy !req
297. even when I didn't believe in myself.
Copy !req
298. Hey, what are friends for?
Copy !req
299. Green Lantern: Let's go home.
Copy !req
