1. Previously on
Justice League:Copy !req
2. - We meet again, Kal-El.
- What do you want?Copy !req
3. Even as we speak,
Apokolips is being assimilated...Copy !req
4. by the Kryptonian menace
known as Brainiac.Copy !req
5. Once he's finished siphoning
the memory banks...Copy !req
6. and technology of my planet—Copy !req
7. He'll annihilate it.Copy !req
8. Good.Copy !req
9. We know he used you...Copy !req
10. humiliated you.Copy !req
11. - Get over it.
- All right.Copy !req
12. But I need you to do something for me.Copy !req
13. - Who are you?
- They call me Forager.Copy !req
14. Do you know someone named Orion?Copy !req
15. Orion is a god
who is far above us.Copy !req
16. Hold still. We won't hurt you.Copy !req
17. No, you most certainly will not.Copy !req
18. Superman has played his part.
Now it's our turn.Copy !req
19. You imbeciles
are letting Brainiac get away.Copy !req
20. Oh, my stars. What is that thing?Copy !req
21. J'ONN:
We'll know soon enough.Copy !req
22. No response.
The controls have been overridden.Copy !req
23. - So, what do we do now?
- What can we do but wait?Copy !req
24. Welcome, Kal-El.Copy !req
25. Once I offered you the chance to join me
in carrying on the legacy of Krypton.Copy !req
26. Today, I renew that offer.Copy !req
27. You must be joking.Copy !req
28. Why do you reject your great heritage?Copy !req
29. The entire history of your planet...Copy !req
30. its knowledge and splendor...Copy !req
31. its awe and mystery...Copy !req
32. are encoded within me.Copy !req
33. Superman, don't—Copy !req
34. I am Krypton.Copy !req
35. You're a perversion...Copy !req
36. dishonoring the very memory
of my father and all my people.Copy !req
37. And this is your final decision?Copy !req
38. Read my lips: Go to—Copy !req
39. Unfortunate but predictable.Copy !req
40. Move!Copy !req
41. Someone had to do it.Copy !req
42. No problem.Copy !req
43. - Then it's over.
- Again, you've miscalculated.Copy !req
44. It hasn't even begun.Copy !req
45. - It's hard, isn't it?Copy !req
46. But we must lovingly tend our garden
if we want it to grow strong and tall.Copy !req
47. - I hate this.
- What's wrong, child?Copy !req
48. I've tried, Highfather, really, I have...Copy !req
49. but look!Copy !req
50. Patience, my dear.Copy !req
51. Everything has a purpose and a place.Copy !req
52. Everything?Copy !req
53. Given time.Copy !req
54. - Highfather.Copy !req
55. I have urgent news from Apokolips.Copy !req
56. Indeed?Copy !req
57. We are friends of Superman.Copy !req
58. He sent us to warn you that Darkseid
is under attack on Apokolips.Copy !req
59. Do not speak that name in front of
the children. You'll frighten them.Copy !req
60. They should be afraid.Copy !req
61. For too long, the shadow of Apokolips
has threatened New Genesis.Copy !req
62. Come with me.Copy !req
63. Would you excuse us, children.Copy !req
64. - Well?
- Let me mount an army.Copy !req
65. While Darkseid is under siege,
we will attack...Copy !req
66. and end his reign of terror
once and for all.Copy !req
67. Superman asked for your help.
He doesn't want to start a war.Copy !req
68. - Don't be so sure.
- You forget.Copy !req
69. In the name of peace,
we swore not to interfere on Apokolips.Copy !req
70. We made a pact.Copy !req
71. As long as Darkseid is in power,
there can be no real peace.Copy !req
72. There is truth in what you say.Copy !req
73. - Then give the order.
- No!Copy !req
74. Though I love you like a son...Copy !req
75. you are too young to remember
the endless bloodshed we endured.Copy !req
76. Before making
such a terrible decision...Copy !req
77. I must commune with the Source.Copy !req
78. You will await my verdict.Copy !req
79. Yes, Highfather.Copy !req
80. Darkseid.Copy !req
81. - It appears our stratagem
was a success.Copy !req
82. Yes.Copy !req
83. As promised,
I've delivered Superman into your hands.Copy !req
84. Those people we met down below,
who are they?Copy !req
85. They're not important. Just bugs.Copy !req
86. And where are you going?Copy !req
87. To face Darkseid.Copy !req
88. But Highfather ordered you to wait.
Why are you so eager to fight?Copy !req
89. I have my reasons. Now stand aside.Copy !req
90. We can't let you go.Copy !req
91. Try to stop me!Copy !req
92. Next time I let Superman take charge,
just hit me real hard.Copy !req
93. - Remember the terms of our bargain.Copy !req
94. In exchange for Superman,
you promised to spare my planet.Copy !req
95. Agreed.Copy !req
96. - But I still can't fathom
why you need him.Copy !req
97. Surely not for simple revenge.Copy !req
98. It is quite elementary.Copy !req
99. Observe.Copy !req
100. Over the years, I have roamed
the universe collecting data.Copy !req
101. As my appetite grew, I changed
and evolved into what you see today.Copy !req
102. From this central core,
I can send countless drones...Copy !req
103. to the farthest corners of the galaxy
to gather more data for my collection.Copy !req
104. But it is not enough.Copy !req
105. I have reached the limits
of my programmed functions.Copy !req
106. To evolve to the next level...Copy !req
107. I must extract living DNA
from the last Kryptonian.Copy !req
108. Now I become a true life form...Copy !req
109. the likes of which
this universe has never seen.Copy !req
110. Wait. What have you done?Copy !req
111. - Just a minor modification
to override your control circuits.Copy !req
112. You are now
the instrument of my will.Copy !req
113. - You deceived me, Darkseid,
used me.Copy !req
114. It's what I do.Copy !req
115. J'onn, wake up.Copy !req
116. - What hit us?
- It was Darkseid.Copy !req
117. Then Superman was right.
This was all an elaborate trap.Copy !req
118. Where is Superman?Copy !req
119. I can't locate him.
He's either unconscious or...Copy !req
120. All these worlds
that Brainiac has visited.Copy !req
121. Somewhere in here there might be
information about Thanagar.Copy !req
122. There's no time to think about that.
Superman needs us.Copy !req
123. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
124. Before, Brainiac had the power
to devour planets.Copy !req
125. Now he can consume
an entire universe.Copy !req
126. He is my solution
to the ultimate problem:Copy !req
127. The Anti-Life Equation.Copy !req
128. This isn't Apokolips.Copy !req
129. No, but Mother Box senses
Darkseid's hand here.Copy !req
130. But why?Copy !req
131. - You, of all people,
should know the universe is filled...Copy !req
132. with chaos, confusion
and uncertainty.Copy !req
133. I will tear it down to nothing...Copy !req
134. and then rebuild it,
bringing order and discipline at last.Copy !req
135. Think of it, Superman.Copy !req
136. A new universe created in my image.Copy !req
137. What?Copy !req
138. By the Source!Copy !req
139. Highfather, what is it?Copy !req
140. Darkseid.Copy !req
141. - Get everyone to the escape pods!
- What?Copy !req
142. We have no choice. Evacuate the city.Copy !req
143. - Darkseid, I calculate that this reaction
will soon reach critical mass.Copy !req
144. If you don't release me,
there will be no stopping it.Copy !req
145. Precisely.Copy !req
146. - Then I guess it's up to us!Copy !req
147. Brainiac, stop them!Copy !req
148. - I have no desire to save you...Copy !req
149. but I am compelled to obey.Copy !req
150. - Get back!
- No way!Copy !req
151. No!Copy !req
152. Finish them now!Copy !req
153. What?Copy !req
154. Hello, Father. Don't I get a hug?Copy !req
155. - Having fun?
- Yes.Copy !req
156. Come on!Copy !req
157. Cover me.Copy !req
158. My pleasure.Copy !req
159. By the gods.Copy !req
160. - Warning! Circuit incomplete.Copy !req
161. Critical system failure.Copy !req
162. Where's Darkseid?Copy !req
163. I don't know,
but we've gotta get out of here!Copy !req
164. I'm glad to see growing up
with Highfather...Copy !req
165. hasn't made you soft and weak.Copy !req
166. You make an old man proud...Copy !req
167. but I won't let you
or anyone else stand in my way.Copy !req
168. Spare the rod...Copy !req
169. - Any minute now,
Brainiac will explode.Copy !req
170. And guess what.
You're going with him.Copy !req
171. No, Darkseid. To get off this rock,
you'll have to go through me.Copy !req
172. You really are
a glutton for punishment.Copy !req
173. Time and again I've beaten you,
humbled you.Copy !req
174. What makes you think today's outcome
will be any different?Copy !req
175. Because this time...Copy !req
176. I won't stop until you're just
a greasy smear on my fist.Copy !req
177. Let's go.Copy !req
178. Seems you need
another lesson in humility, boy.Copy !req
179. - Wait!Copy !req
180. Where's Superman?Copy !req
181. That idiot. I'll get him.Copy !req
182. The rest of you take off now!Copy !req
183. - But—
- Just do it!Copy !req
184. I hope he knows what he's doing.Copy !req
185. This is where you belong, Superman:Copy !req
186. Under my heel.Copy !req
187. Superman!Copy !req
188. Go! I'm finishing this!Copy !req
189. Kent, don't be a fool.Copy !req
190. Get out of here! Now!Copy !req
191. No!Copy !req
192. Loser.Copy !req
193. Nothing could have survived that...Copy !req
194. not even Darkseid.Copy !req
195. You know something, Bruce?Copy !req
196. You're not always right.Copy !req
197. - Any sign of the others?
- I've searched everywhere.Copy !req
198. There's nothing.Copy !req
199. Then all is lost.Copy !req
200. - Listen.
- I'll race you!Copy !req
201. Highfather! Highfather!Copy !req
202. It's a miracle!Copy !req
203. How did you survive?Copy !req
204. He found us, and hid us in his hive
until the storm blew over.Copy !req
205. You did this?Copy !req
206. Forgive my presumption, Highfather.Copy !req
207. No. Forgive me...Copy !req
208. for forgetting that everything has
a purpose and a place.Copy !req
209. Today, here at our side,
you have found your place.Copy !req
210. Perhaps someday
you will find yours as well.Copy !req
211. Someday.Copy !req
