1. When the Prodigal Son
returned,
Copy !req
2. his father saw him
and had compassion,
Copy !req
3. and ran and embraced him,
Copy !req
4. for this, his son,
Copy !req
5. was lost and is found.
Copy !req
6. You are the Prodigal Son,
Tornado,
Copy !req
7. and I rejoice
at your return
Copy !req
8. and thank you for making our
little family reunion possible.
Copy !req
9. Now, you must have
many questions.
Copy !req
10. No? Oh.
Copy !req
11. How could I forget?
Copy !req
12. Your voicebox is offline.
Copy !req
13. But your eyes and ears
still function perfectly,
Copy !req
14. as does the prodigious mind
I built for you
Copy !req
15. all those years ago.
Copy !req
16. And really,
what else matters?
Copy !req
17. Pineapple juice?
Copy !req
18. Ahh. Just what
the doctor ordered.
Copy !req
19. How's the arm doing, Wally?
Copy !req
20. Well, nothing wrong
nachos can't cure.
Copy !req
21. Nachos? Oh!
I'll go get you some.
Copy !req
22. Aah!
Copy !req
23. - Good work, everyone.
Copy !req
24. In fact, it's been
a very productive week.
Copy !req
25. Yeah, for everyone
except kid malingerer.
Copy !req
26. Hey! Arm broken in combat against
The Injustice League here.
Copy !req
27. I've really enjoyed being
Copy !req
28. your, uh,
den mother this week.
Copy !req
29. Zatara, One, One.
Copy !req
30. Access granted.
Copy !req
31. Zatanna, Zatara.
A-Zero-3.
Copy !req
32. Zatara, One, One.
Copy !req
33. Zatanna, this is the team.
Copy !req
34. Team, my daughter, Zatanna.
Copy !req
35. - Hi! I'm...
- Robin! Ahem.
Copy !req
36. I mean, I'm Robin. Heh.
Copy !req
37. She's M'gann, and that's Wally,
Artemis, Kaldur, and Connor.
Copy !req
38. - Welcome to the cave.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
39. So, uh, are you joining
the team?
Copy !req
40. Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
Copy !req
41. This is strictly a visit.
Copy !req
42. But I am sorry
we missed the training.
Copy !req
43. It's something from which
Zatanna could benefit.
Copy !req
44. Do the rest
of you get the impression
Copy !req
45. we're still on probation
with Zatara?
Copy !req
46. Not just Zatara.
Copy !req
47. I mean, why is Marvel
still hanging around?
Copy !req
48. Because
we like having him around.
Copy !req
49. You like having him around
Copy !req
50. 'cause he waits on you
hand and foot.
Copy !req
51. And your point is?
Copy !req
52. It almost makes one nostalgic
Copy !req
53. for Red Tornado's tenure
as our supervisor.
Copy !req
54. Yeah.
At least he trusted us.
Copy !req
55. If you ignore the fact
we shouldn't have trusted him!
Copy !req
56. He was a traitor.
Copy !req
57. That machine nearly got
all of us killed.
Copy !req
58. Are you guys having
a psychic conversation?
Copy !req
59. 'Cause I can't decide
if that's cool or really rude.
Copy !req
60. All right. Fine.
Copy !req
61. We were talking
about Tornado.
Copy !req
62. It's been weeks
since his attack,
Copy !req
63. and the League hasn't told us
anything.
Copy !req
64. The League is searching
for Tornado,
Copy !req
65. as well as the other androids
that invaded the cave
Copy !req
66. and their creator,
T.O. Morrow.
Copy !req
67. Batman's made tracking them down
our highest priority.
Copy !req
68. But you've found
none of the above.
Copy !req
69. Not yet,
but Tornado is Justice League.
Copy !req
70. The team is not
to pursue this.
Copy !req
71. Why don't you all take Zatanna
on a, uh,
Copy !req
72. a tour of the cave?
Copy !req
73. Ah. You're giving a tour?
Copy !req
74. Cool!
Copy !req
75. Actually, I was hoping
you'd take wolf outside.
Copy !req
76. He needs the exercise.
We'll join you in a few.
Copy !req
77. Sure, sure. I can do that.
Come on, wolf.
Copy !req
78. What... my nachos!
Copy !req
79. When did you...
How did you...
Copy !req
80. we're not really taking
a tour, are we?
Copy !req
81. No. We're hunting down
that robot.
Copy !req
82. Yes, we are.
Copy !req
83. Oh, wow.
Out loud and everything.
Copy !req
84. What about new girl?
Copy !req
85. I'm sure she won't tell.
Copy !req
86. I can't tell.
Copy !req
87. Not if you kidnap me.
Copy !req
88. Oh, she's going
to fit in great.
Copy !req
89. Fetch.
Copy !req
90. Come on!
Copy !req
91. Fetch.
Copy !req
92. Please?
Copy !req
93. M'gann, the bioship
wasn't authorized for departure.
Copy !req
94. We're kidnapping Zatanna...
Copy !req
95. To show her Happy Harbor.
Copy !req
96. Be back soon!
Copy !req
97. Roger that. Have fun.
Copy !req
98. I did not give
permission for...
Copy !req
99. they're good kids,
Giovanni.
Copy !req
100. Trustworthy kids.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
101. Where are we going?
Copy !req
102. Batman is
the world's greatest detective,
Copy !req
103. and he searched for Tornado and
Morrow in every logical location.
Copy !req
104. If we're going to do better,
we need an illogical solution.
Copy !req
105. A truly dumb idea.
Copy !req
106. As a matter of fact...
Copy !req
107. Look, Tornado. Your brother
and sister are back online.
Copy !req
108. We'll have you
up and running, too.
Copy !req
109. Maybe even turn
your voice box back on,
Copy !req
110. as soon as I'm done copying and
downloading your memory files.
Copy !req
111. In the meantime,
I'll tell you a story.
Copy !req
112. Once upon a time,
Copy !req
113. a brilliant scientist decided
to build his own superhero
Copy !req
114. to infiltrate and destroy
the Justice Society of America.
Copy !req
115. His first creation was...
Copy !req
116. Red Torpedo,
hero of the ocean deep,
Copy !req
117. a machine programmed
to think he was a man.
Copy !req
118. Unfortunately,
that programming was crude.
Copy !req
119. Torpedo never quite fit in.
Copy !req
120. Your eldest brother was
a failure.
Copy !req
121. But the scientist believed
in his plan
Copy !req
122. and began again.
Copy !req
123. Your sister debuted as
Firebrand,
Copy !req
124. a much-loved
and admired heroine.
Copy !req
125. If only she hadn't been
so darn heroic.
Copy !req
126. Yet our intrepid scientist
would not quit,
Copy !req
127. and this time, the android
would know he was an android.
Copy !req
128. The new approach worked...
Copy !req
129. Red Tornado,
the robot hero,
Copy !req
130. was inducted into
the Justice Society.
Copy !req
131. The scientist believed
he had triumphed.
Copy !req
132. But Tornado's original
heroic programming
Copy !req
133. and Pinocchio-like desire
to become more human
Copy !req
134. caused him to betray
his creator, his father.
Copy !req
135. Still,
Copy !req
136. the scientist refuses
to give up.
Copy !req
137. Warden Strange owed us
a favor
Copy !req
138. for stopping
last month's prison break.
Copy !req
139. He's given us
5 minutes with you.
Copy !req
140. Spill, Ivo. How do we find T.O.
Morrow and his Reds?
Copy !req
141. Now, why in the world
would I know how to find Morrow?
Copy !req
142. Because... and here's
a truly dumb idea...
Copy !req
143. You're Morrow's biggest competitor
in the evil android game.
Copy !req
144. Who better to keep track
of what he's up to, and where?
Copy !req
145. Ah. I see your point.
Copy !req
146. So let me rephrase...
Copy !req
147. Why in the world would I
tell you how to find Morrow?
Copy !req
148. He knows.
Do what you must.
Copy !req
149. Oh, please.
Copy !req
150. As if I've never faced
a telepath before.
Copy !req
151. Morrow's in
a secret underground base
Copy !req
152. beneath Yellowstone
National Park,
Copy !req
153. 100 meters south
of Old Faithful.
Copy !req
154. Wait.
What just happened?
Copy !req
155. Down load complete.
Copy !req
156. Time for the upload.
Copy !req
157. But first, introductions.
Copy !req
158. Red Tornado,
Red Torpedo, Red Inferno...
Copy !req
159. I like that name
so much better than Firebrand...
Copy !req
160. Meet your baby brother...
Copy !req
161. Red Volcano.
Copy !req
162. This Red won't bother
infiltrating the heroes.
Copy !req
163. He'll simply destroy them,
Copy !req
164. with the help
of your memories.
Copy !req
165. Finally, the scientist
has built an android
Copy !req
166. that transcends
the need to be human.
Copy !req
167. No more Pinocchios.
Copy !req
168. Hello, father.
Copy !req
169. Son. You're hurting me.
Copy !req
170. Yes, but pain is so human.
Copy !req
171. And per your programming,
Copy !req
172. I've transcended any concern
for humans.
Copy !req
173. No more Pinocchios.
Copy !req
174. His son was lost...
Son was lost...
Copy !req
175. Son was...
Copy !req
176. Did you know father was
an android?
Copy !req
177. We're a stick.
Copy !req
178. Father, you were right.
Copy !req
179. Humans are annoying.
Copy !req
180. Black out
all external communication.
Copy !req
181. Soon, Canary and Zatara...
Batman, too, I imagine...
Copy !req
182. Will know of our visit
with professor Ivo.
Copy !req
183. We haven't much time.
Copy !req
184. Look.
Copy !req
185. I'm trying to be
all nonchalant here.
Copy !req
186. Why? Be as chalant
as you like.
Copy !req
187. I think we're all just trying
to get a handle on your powers.
Copy !req
188. Could you teleport us
to Tornado,
Copy !req
189. or Morrow to a cell,
Copy !req
190. or force his bots
to surrender?
Copy !req
191. Or create peace on earth
for all time?
Copy !req
192. Zatara couldn't even do
all that,
Copy !req
193. and I'm nowhere near
on my dad's level.
Copy !req
194. I need to know
a spell cold,
Copy !req
195. or else have time
to prep it.
Copy !req
196. Plus,
all magic requires energy,
Copy !req
197. which usually has to come
from within.
Copy !req
198. I just can't make
the impossible happen at will.
Copy !req
199. What's our E.T.A.
To Yellowstone?
Copy !req
200. I'm way past ready to stuff
Tornado into a trash compactor.
Copy !req
201. Are you so certain
he betrayed us?
Copy !req
202. - Aren't you?
- I am not convinced.
Copy !req
203. And even so,
that makes him but the victim
Copy !req
204. of his creator's
programming.
Copy !req
205. Certainly, he deserves
a chance to prove
Copy !req
206. he's more than the weapon
others designed him to be.
Copy !req
207. Listen to me,
my brothers, my sister.
Copy !req
208. I have been downloaded
with all your memories.
Copy !req
209. Father's, too.
Copy !req
210. Oh. He left out the bit about
him being an android,
Copy !req
211. but he did reveal his plan,
Copy !req
212. his dream for our destiny.
Copy !req
213. There is a semi-dormant
supervolcano beneath Yellowstone.
Copy !req
214. Father gave me the power
to activate it
Copy !req
215. in 3 stages.
Copy !req
216. The eruption will decimate
the planet,
Copy !req
217. kill millions,
Copy !req
218. and trap the rest under
an impenetrable cloud of ash.
Copy !req
219. While humanity struggles
to survive,
Copy !req
220. we 4 will build a Red Army
Copy !req
221. to make this earth
a Red planet.
Copy !req
222. Ivo T.O. Morrow.
Thomas, are you there?
Copy !req
223. I'm here, Anthony.
What do you want?
Copy !req
224. Reluctantly, to warn you.
Copy !req
225. The children have learned
your location.
Copy !req
226. I do not believe they have told
their elders and betters.
Copy !req
227. But they are on their way.
Copy !req
228. Perfect.
Copy !req
229. Stealth mode.
Copy !req
230. I recommend
you stay behind.
Copy !req
231. - Is that an order?
- No.
Copy !req
232. You must do as you see fit.
Copy !req
233. Good.
Copy !req
234. Prove yourself a loyal Red,
brother.
Copy !req
235. Kill them for me.
Copy !req
236. Ivo was right.
Something's down there.
Copy !req
237. Why, Tornado?
Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
238. Message received.
Copy !req
239. Who cares why?
Nail him!
Copy !req
240. Superboy!
Maneuver 7!
Copy !req
241. Aah!
Copy !req
242. Look out! Aah!
Copy !req
243. That does it, Red.
Copy !req
244. You're not the only spin doctor
around here.
Copy !req
245. Quite a performance,
brother,
Copy !req
246. but we both know
that's all it was.
Copy !req
247. I have all your memories,
Tornado,
Copy !req
248. plus a next-gen processor.
Copy !req
249. I know your next move
before you do.
Copy !req
250. Blowing a message
into the sand?
Copy !req
251. Zatanna?
Copy !req
252. I'm good. The Red
Tornado's getting away.
Copy !req
253. Is he abandoning us?
Copy !req
254. I don't believe that.
Copy !req
255. You stand no chance
against me, humans.
Copy !req
256. - We're not human!
Copy !req
257. Apologies. I suppose
the properly inclusive term is...
Copy !req
258. Meatbags.
Copy !req
259. Tornado's memory files
and my superior processing speed
Copy !req
260. allow me to anticipate
your every move.
Copy !req
261. Tornado never knew my moves.
Copy !req
262. And I bet you've got
some good ones.
Copy !req
263. Whoa. Sorry. That may have
come off a little too Wally.
Copy !req
264. I don't mind.
Copy !req
265. - We must stop him.
- Why?
Copy !req
266. Once we believed we lived.
Copy !req
267. Now, there is only
Red Inferno and Red Torpedo.
Copy !req
268. Why should we help
save humanity
Copy !req
269. when we are
no longer human?
Copy !req
270. The premise of your question
is flawed.
Copy !req
271. You were never human,
but you were heroes.
Copy !req
272. He's activating
a stage 2 eruption.
Copy !req
273. It gets to stage 3,
kiss the hemisphere good-bye.
Copy !req
274. Hit him from all sides.
Copy !req
275. - M'gann!
Copy !req
276. I use a scaled-down version when I
want to sneak out of the house.
Copy !req
277. - Nice hit!
- The hit was not mine. Look!
Copy !req
278. Sister! Brothers!
Copy !req
279. Stop!
Copy !req
280. Father would be
so disappointed.
Copy !req
281. Tornado, listen!
We're on the verge of
Copy !req
282. a stage 3
supervolcano eruption.
Copy !req
283. There's no turning back
from that.
Copy !req
284. We need to vent pressure,
fast.
Copy !req
285. But the ash cloud will bring on
worldwide nuclear winter
Copy !req
286. unless you divert it.
Copy !req
287. Triangulate around
the pressure locus.
Copy !req
288. Right.
There, there, and there.
Copy !req
289. Yes!
Copy !req
290. There.
That should do it.
Copy !req
291. Yes. I can speak again.
Copy !req
292. You were willing to sacrifice
yourself to save the planet.
Copy !req
293. The planet would have
survived.
Copy !req
294. It is humanity
that was saved...
Copy !req
295. Though not by me.
Copy !req
296. My sister and brother were
the true heroes this day.
Copy !req
297. My point is this... you were
never the mole, never a traitor.
Copy !req
298. No. I left to protect you
from further attack
Copy !req
299. and to find my creator,
Morrow.
Copy !req
300. Cool. Souvenir.
Copy !req
301. Reddy, we can rebuild you
better than you were before.
Copy !req
302. I do not believe
I should be repaired.
Copy !req
303. Why'd you volunteer to become our
den mother in the first place?
Copy !req
304. I was the pragmatic choice.
Copy !req
305. I do not require sleep. I have no
secret identity or second life to live.
Copy !req
306. But you do have
advanced A.I. Programming
Copy !req
307. designed to learn,
adapt, evolve.
Copy !req
308. Hello, M'gann.
You wanted to become more human.
Copy !req
309. And you couldn't do that
with the League.
Copy !req
310. They're stiffs.
Copy !req
311. You're sure not going
to learn emotion from Batman.
Copy !req
312. Trust me.
Copy !req
313. Then the cave was not
a proving ground only for us,
Copy !req
314. but for you as well.
Copy !req
315. I do not know if
these statements are accurate,
Copy !req
316. but perhaps they are true.
Copy !req
317. And if I understand
the term correctly,
Copy !req
318. I believe I have come to...
Copy !req
319. Care about you all.
Copy !req
320. See? Practically a meatbag
already.
Copy !req
321. Which reminds me.
Copy !req
322. - I will not hurt him.
Copy !req
323. He was evil, but T.O.
Morrow is still my father.
Copy !req
324. I will care for him.
Copy !req
325. It is the human thing to do.
Copy !req
326. So, good kidnapping?
Copy !req
327. Actually, yeah.
Best ever.
Copy !req
328. Heh.
First of many, I hope.
Copy !req
329. If my dad doesn't ground me
for life.
Copy !req
330. She's grounded for life!
Copy !req
331. "They're good kids,
Giovanni."
Copy !req
332. "Don't worry, Giovanni."
Copy !req
333. She's never joining
this team.
Copy !req
334. Um, are they coming out
to play or what?
Copy !req
