1. Sir, unidentified craft approaching.
Bearing 0-1-0.
Copy !req
2. At this depth?
Establish radio contact.
Copy !req
3. I've tried all frequencies. No response.
Copy !req
4. Whatever it is, it's big and closing fast.
Copy !req
5. Evasive maneuvers.
Planes down 20 degrees.
Copy !req
6. Still closing, sir. It's going to—!
Copy !req
7. Damage report.
Copy !req
8. Starboard rudder's out.
Copy !req
9. Captain, the hostile craft is turning!
It's making another run!
Copy !req
10. - Prepare torpedo tubes!
- There's no time!
Copy !req
11. This is USS Defiant.
Copy !req
12. We are under attack and have sustained
heavy damage. We are going down.
Copy !req
13. Repeat. We are going down.
Copy !req
14. The surface dwellers'
ship has been disabled.
Copy !req
15. Good. Let it sink.
Copy !req
16. USS Defiant, this is
the Justice League responding.
Copy !req
17. Help is on the way.
Copy !req
18. I've locked on to their distress beacon.
We're close.
Copy !req
19. We're not the only ones.
We've got company.
Copy !req
20. Not for long.
Copy !req
21. Lost them.
Copy !req
22. You were saying?
Copy !req
23. Those sailors won't have a prayer if we
keep playing cat-and-mouse. Come on!
Copy !req
24. Push!
Copy !req
25. Halt!
Copy !req
26. You have violated
the sovereign borders of Atlantis.
Copy !req
27. Leave at once
or you will be destroyed.
Copy !req
28. We apologize for the intrusion.
We were responding to a call for help.
Copy !req
29. They should've stayed on
the surface where they belong.
Copy !req
30. Please.
The men on board, they'll drown.
Copy !req
31. Take the crew, but the vessel stays.
Copy !req
32. No way! That's a nuclear sub!
Copy !req
33. If you think we're
just going to leave it—
Copy !req
34. What makes you think
you have a choice?
Copy !req
35. He's right. Time's running out.
Copy !req
36. That's the last one.
Copy !req
37. Escort them to the surface.
Copy !req
38. You know, all this
could've been avoided.
Copy !req
39. How?
Copy !req
40. Come and air your grievances at the
World Assembly. Negotiate for peace.
Copy !req
41. You'd have me crawl to them
like some beggar?
Copy !req
42. No. Stand before them like a king.
Copy !req
43. I say the surface dwellers
are barbarians.
Copy !req
44. They sail their weapons across our seas,
pollute our oceans with their garbage.
Copy !req
45. There's only one way
to ensure Atlantis' safety.
Copy !req
46. And my troops are prepared
to take action.
Copy !req
47. What sort of action?
Copy !req
48. We have the technology
to wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Copy !req
49. Just give the order.
Copy !req
50. General Brak, I decide policy here,
not you.
Copy !req
51. But how much longer must
we endure these affronts?
Copy !req
52. Surely you realize
now is the perfect time.
Copy !req
53. Hold your tongue, Brak.
Your king has spoken.
Copy !req
54. Forgive me, Lord Orm.
Copy !req
55. General Brak,
I will consider your counsel.
Copy !req
56. But this is a most serious matter.
I must give it more thought.
Copy !req
57. He has quite a grip.
Copy !req
58. Takes after his father.
Copy !req
59. Look at him. So peaceful. So innocent.
Copy !req
60. Mera, what kind of future
am I making for our son?
Copy !req
61. Whatever you decide,
I'm sure it will be the right choice.
Copy !req
62. Will it?
Copy !req
63. Your hands are strong and noble.
I would gladly place my fate in them.
Copy !req
64. I understand
your concerns, admiral.
Copy !req
65. But lives were at stake.
There was nothing we could do.
Copy !req
66. The admiral's right. We never
should've left the sub down there.
Copy !req
67. Now it's in the hands of that madman.
Copy !req
68. Aquaman's no madman.
He's a king.
Copy !req
69. He only wants to preserve
and protect his own kind.
Copy !req
70. So who's gonna protect us
from him?
Copy !req
71. Whoa...
Copy !req
72. Hey! Where'd that dude come from?
Copy !req
73. Hey, watch it!
Copy !req
74. Out of the way, meathead!
Copy !req
75. Ah!
Copy !req
76. Not so fast, buddy.
Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
77. Where is the World Assembly?
Copy !req
78. I knew we couldn't trust that fish-man.
Copy !req
79. The sub's been stripped
and the plutonium is gone.
Copy !req
80. - And you think Aquaman's responsible?
- Who else, princess?
Copy !req
81. We've gotta go back to Atlantis
and get some straight answers.
Copy !req
82. If it's Aquaman you want,
he's not in Atlantis.
Copy !req
83. According to eyewitnesses, Aquaman
forced his way past guards...
Copy !req
84. into a closed session
of the World Assembly.
Copy !req
85. But as to why he's here
or what he wants...
Copy !req
86. we'll have to wait
for developments.
Copy !req
87. Order! Order, please!
Copy !req
88. First you sink a nuclear submarine,
then you threaten us to make peace.
Copy !req
89. Who gave you the right?
Copy !req
90. I am the born ruler of Atlantis.
Copy !req
91. A country we do not even recognize.
Copy !req
92. These are my final terms.
Refuse them at your own risk.
Copy !req
93. But your demands are outrageous.
Copy !req
94. They would compromise
our entire world defense and economy.
Copy !req
95. Your problem. Not mine.
Copy !req
96. Aquaman!
Copy !req
97. I offered them a chance for peace
and this is their answer.
Copy !req
98. - Please. These things take time.
- I've wasted too much time already.
Copy !req
99. Wait!
Copy !req
100. A real Prince Charming.
Copy !req
101. Here he comes.
Copy !req
102. What happened in there?
Will you negotiate?
Copy !req
103. Move aside.
Copy !req
104. Oh, no!
Watch out! Look out!
Copy !req
105. No!
Copy !req
106. Members of the Justice League...
Copy !req
107. rushed Aquaman
to Metropolis Medical Center.
Copy !req
108. There are still no official reports...
Copy !req
109. but his injuries appear to be critical,
possibly fatal.
Copy !req
110. We cannot allow this treacherous attack
to go unpunished.
Copy !req
111. With all due respect, Lord Orm,
you're in no position to give that order.
Copy !req
112. - The king—
- The king may be dead...
Copy !req
113. and the prince is still an infant.
Copy !req
114. Even so, the law of succession
must be respected.
Copy !req
115. The prince will take control
when he comes of age.
Copy !req
116. But in the meantime,
this outrage must be avenged.
Copy !req
117. Orm, did you hear?
Copy !req
118. Oh, my poor Mera.
All of Atlantis mourns your loss.
Copy !req
119. - You speak as if he'll never come back.
- I pray he will.
Copy !req
120. But who knows what the
surface dwellers may do to him?
Copy !req
121. Have we got a line in yet? I need it, stat.
Copy !req
122. Negative. His skin's
tougher than a rhino's.
Copy !req
123. His vitals are falling.
This is hopeless.
Copy !req
124. - How bad is it?
- Hard to tell.
Copy !req
125. His physiology's not like ours.
It's unlike anything I've ever seen.
Copy !req
126. - But can you help him?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
127. Then maybe I can.
Copy !req
128. His vitals. They're stabilizing.
Copy !req
129. Maintain saline at 3.5 percent.
Copy !req
130. But how could you
possibly guess that?
Copy !req
131. He's a fish out of water, doctor.
Saltwater.
Copy !req
132. He's coming around.
Copy !req
133. Good. Now maybe we
can get some answers.
Copy !req
134. What did you do with the plutonium?
Copy !req
135. Plutonium?
Copy !req
136. From the submarine. You stole it.
Copy !req
137. - My orders were to leave that vessel.
- You expect us to believe that?
Copy !req
138. Believe what you want. Someone tried
to kill me, and I need to find out who.
Copy !req
139. Wait. I can help.
But you're going to have to trust me.
Copy !req
140. We've just gotten word
that Aquaman is about to be moved.
Copy !req
141. He's going to an unnamed marine
research facility for further treatment.
Copy !req
142. I hope this plan works, Batman.
Copy !req
143. - Keep your eyes open.
- Here he comes.
Copy !req
144. - There!
- I see him!
Copy !req
145. - Are you okay?
- Perfectly.
Copy !req
146. Diana, he's heading towards you.
Copy !req
147. - End of the road.
- I'll take a detour.
Copy !req
148. What's taking so long?
I must return to Atlantis.
Copy !req
149. Sit tight, Your Highness.
We'll tell you when it's safe to go.
Copy !req
150. You presume too much.
Copy !req
151. Don't move.
Copy !req
152. Okay, okay. I give up.
Copy !req
153. You tried to kill Aquaman. Why?
Copy !req
154. Gee. Why would a hired gun
try to shoot somebody?
Copy !req
155. - Could it be that someone paid me to?
Who?
Copy !req
156. Come on, babe.
You know I can't tell you that.
Copy !req
157. Professional ethics.
Copy !req
158. But then again, if you make it
worth my while...
Copy !req
159. I'll take it from here.
Copy !req
160. You can't scare me, Batman.
Copy !req
161. Let me give you one word of advice.
Copy !req
162. Okay, I'll tell. I'll tell.
Copy !req
163. - What did he say?
- You don't want to know.
Copy !req
164. Who hired you?
- I don't know. I don't ask questions.
Copy !req
165. Not good enough.
How were you paid?
Copy !req
166. In gold. See?
Copy !req
167. Spanish doubloons.
Copy !req
168. - Where would they get coins like this?
- Atlantis.
Copy !req
169. - We've got to warn Aquaman.
Too late.
Copy !req
170. That royal pain in the neck's
already gone. I couldn't stop him.
Copy !req
171. Hera help him.
Copy !req
172. My friends, now is the time for action.
Copy !req
173. Now is the time for mighty Atlantis...
Copy !req
174. to rise up and strike terror
into the hearts of its enemies.
Copy !req
175. Are you with me?
Copy !req
176. Orm!
Copy !req
177. What treason is this?
Copy !req
178. - No treason, brother. Thought you were—
- Dead?
Copy !req
179. That's no reason to plunge Atlantis
into a foolhardy war!
Copy !req
180. - I left specific orders.
- I'm only doing...
Copy !req
181. what you never had
the courage to do.
Copy !req
182. Enough! I'll hear no more.
Copy !req
183. Arrest the traitor!
Copy !req
184. You heard him.
Copy !req
185. - What?
- You are the traitor.
Copy !req
186. You abandoned your people.
Sold them out to the surface dwellers.
Copy !req
187. Look around you, brother.
I'm in charge now.
Copy !req
