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