1. I was watching through the window.
That was amazing.
Copy !req
2. Can I offer you a reward?
Copy !req
3. I mean, anything I've got in the store
is yours, dude. Anything.
Copy !req
4. Not necessary.
Copy !req
5. Your thanks are all the reward I need.
Copy !req
6. I've found him.
And it's worse than we thought.
Copy !req
7. We're ready.
Copy !req
8. Zeta-Shield relay satellites
are all in place.
Copy !req
9. Activating satellites.
Copy !req
10. Congratulations.
The Zeta-Shield is now operational.
Copy !req
11. Absolutely historic. Professor Carr!
Copy !req
12. You should have your cave-schooled pupil
write a term paper about this.
Copy !req
13. With the Zeta-Shield in place, no alien
can teleport to our planet from off world.
Copy !req
14. Even your Strange friend won't be able to
travel to and from Rann without approval.
Copy !req
15. Shield's great, but it won't stop
a spaceship or a boom tube.
Copy !req
16. - What's a boom tube?
Boom tube...
Copy !req
17. an alternate means of instant transport
between distant locations.
Copy !req
18. - Not compatible.
- Not compatible with what?
Copy !req
19. I swear I don't understand
half the things you say.
Copy !req
20. Feeling's mutual.
Copy !req
21. - Where's Nightwing?
- Taking the night off. Personal business.
Copy !req
22. Perfect.
Copy !req
23. So back to movie night, Angelfish?
Copy !req
24. - Tag, you're it.
- Hey!
Copy !req
25. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Con'.
Yo, what are you...?
Copy !req
26. Taking the night off. Personal business.
Copy !req
27. Hey, Roy. Need a hand?
Copy !req
28. No.
Copy !req
29. We think you do.
Copy !req
30. I have nothing to say to any of you.
Copy !req
31. Nothing to explain, nothing to justify.
Copy !req
32. Nothing?
Copy !req
33. It's not what it looks like.
Copy !req
34. I mean, that storeowner won't miss it.
He offered me a reward anyway.
Copy !req
35. Besides, I deserve it.
Copy !req
36. Guy wouldn't have any of his money back
if I hadn't stepped in.
Copy !req
37. Dude, are you even listening
to yourself?
Copy !req
38. Look, I need it.
Copy !req
39. I need it to find Speedy.
The real Roy Harper.
Copy !req
40. A search like that is expensive.
Copy !req
41. Especially when the rest of you
have all given up.
Copy !req
42. Ask. Ask.
- Shh!
Copy !req
43. - All right, already. I'll ask.
- Ask what?
Copy !req
44. Oh, any piece of this mission
you feel like letting me in on?
Copy !req
45. Look, I know you only picked me
because Gar was studying...
Copy !req
46. and La'gaan and M'gann
were whatevering.
Copy !req
47. But I'm here, ése. And I wanna help.
Copy !req
48. Yeah. Okay.
Copy !req
49. The bomb Aqualad used last month
to destroy Malina Island...
Copy !req
50. was clearly of alien origin.
Copy !req
51. The Kroloteans that perished there
didn't know anything about it.
Copy !req
52. We need to figure out
where it came from.
Copy !req
53. The criminal organization lntergang has a
history of trafficking in alien tech...
Copy !req
54. smuggled to Earth
through boom tubes.
Copy !req
55. So I've been keeping tabs
on Whisper A'Daire...
Copy !req
56. one of lntergang's top lieutenants.
Copy !req
57. Tonight, her boss Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim
crawled out of hiding to meet up with her.
Copy !req
58. They're both in that truck.
Copy !req
59. And it looks like they're headed
for the Hall of Justice.
Copy !req
60. Roy, I know you feel lost.
Copy !req
61. But that doesn't mean you're alone.
Copy !req
62. I'm not the one that's lost.
Copy !req
63. When was the last time you trained?
Copy !req
64. The last time you slept?
Copy !req
65. Don't even start.
I'm in the best shape of my life.
Copy !req
66. Oh, really?
Copy !req
67. Best shape of your life?
Copy !req
68. That was me holding back, way back.
Copy !req
69. Roy, you used to treat your body
as a temple, but now...
Copy !req
70. My body's no temple.
Copy !req
71. It's a cheap knockoff, a clone.
Copy !req
72. Can you scan that case?
Copy !req
73. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
74. Cannot scan contents. Not compatible.
Copy !req
75. "Not compatible" again?
What does that even mean?
Copy !req
76. Blue, what do you mean?
Who are you talking to?
Copy !req
77. It's the Scarab. The thing stuck to my
spine that gives me the armor, the powers.
Copy !req
78. It's an artificial intelligence
created by Ted Kurd...
Copy !req
79. you know, the previous Blue Beetle.
Copy !req
80. Yeah, I knew him. Good man.
Copy !req
81. So I hear.
Guess he was a super genius or something.
Copy !req
82. Captain Atom figures the Scarab
was Kord's ultimate invention...
Copy !req
83. but the Light killed him
before he had a chance to use it.
Copy !req
84. The Scarab advises me.
Copy !req
85. Think Jiminy Cricket
with a really bad attitude.
Copy !req
86. It can't scan the briefcase
for some reason.
Copy !req
87. Can it scan the Hall?
Copy !req
88. Ugly may launch an attack
against whoever's inside...
Copy !req
89. - …and it's shielded from my infrared vis...
- Scan complete. Hall's deserted.
Copy !req
90. What is that thing?
Copy !req
91. Don't know. The way Sphere's reacting,
I bet it's Apokaliptan.
Copy !req
92. - Meaning?
- Meaning bad news. Let's go.
Copy !req
93. Company, boss.
Copy !req
94. Too little, too late.
Copy !req
95. - Uhn!
Not compatible.
Copy !req
96. - Not compatible.
- Blue!
Copy !req
97. Game's over, Ugly.
Copy !req
98. Time to hand over the device.
Copy !req
99. You're half right. Game is over.
Copy !req
100. Attack.
Copy !req
101. - What is that thing?
Appellaxian Golem.
Copy !req
102. You know, I'm bilingual, and I still
have no idea what you just said.
Copy !req
103. Irrelevant. Attack.
Copy !req
104. Okay, that I get.
Copy !req
105. Blue, no!
Copy !req
106. Oh, man. Aah!
Copy !req
107. - They're down. Can we kill them?
- Eh.
Copy !req
108. Trying to kill a Kryptonian
could be time-consuming.
Copy !req
109. The League will be here any second.
Copy !req
110. Let's just get gone.
Copy !req
111. Roy, come back to Star City.
It'll be like old times.
Copy !req
112. You and me, training, fighting crime,
just hanging out, shooting...
Copy !req
113. You're confused.
Probably thinking of the other guy.
Copy !req
114. The original,
the one you stopped looking for.
Copy !req
115. - Me, I'm just...
We get it. You're a clone.
Copy !req
116. But you're not the only clone
on this rooftop.
Copy !req
117. I know from personal experience
how tough it was...
Copy !req
118. to come to grips
with being a copy of someone else.
Copy !req
119. That's why I gave up my identity
as Guardian...
Copy !req
120. so that I could figure out exactly
who Jim Harper is supposed to be.
Copy !req
121. That's not the only thing you gave up.
Copy !req
122. Roy, you know we both spent years
looking for the original Speedy.
Copy !req
123. And everyone else here did the same.
Copy !req
124. We never found him,
because the Light didn't keep him alive.
Copy !req
125. It was Cadmus policy
to delete the source material.
Copy !req
126. He's dead, brother...
Copy !req
127. which is all the more reason
you have to live.
Copy !req
128. To honor the Roy that was.
Copy !req
129. How are the ears?
Copy !req
130. Fine! Uh...
Copy !req
131. Fine. But what were you thinking,
using sonics against an Appellaxian?
Copy !req
132. Dude, never even heard
of an Apple-Laxative before tonight.
Copy !req
133. You freshmen never do the homework.
Haven't you read the case file...
Copy !req
134. on the League's first mission?
Haven't you taken the guided tour?
Copy !req
135. Those are rhetorical questions, right?
Copy !req
136. The Appellaxians were an alien race
of energy beings...
Copy !req
137. that attacked Earth 12 years ago.
Copy !req
138. They inhabited elemental host bodies,
including one made of crystal...
Copy !req
139. that could absorb and redirect
a sonic attack.
Copy !req
140. Oh. So, what were they doing
inside the Hall?
Copy !req
141. The original seven members of the
League drove the energy beings off world.
Copy !req
142. The empty husks the aliens left behind
became the League's first trophies.
Copy !req
143. Ugly's device
must have reactivated the husks...
Copy !req
144. combined them somehow
into a creature he could control.
Copy !req
145. Sphere's tracking the device's Apokaliptan
energy readings. We're closing in.
Copy !req
146. It sounds sad.
Copy !req
147. Don't go sentimental on me, A'Daire.
Copy !req
148. It's a construct of wood, stone, et cetera.
Copy !req
149. This gizmo pulled together
the residual psychic energy...
Copy !req
150. of its former alien hosts...
Copy !req
151. but that monster doesn't feel anything.
Copy !req
152. And with this thing as my enforcer...
Copy !req
153. I can expand lntergang's reach
exponentially.
Copy !req
154. Wow, five syllables.
Copy !req
155. I didn't think you knew any words
with more than two.
Copy !req
156. Hilarious.
Copy !req
157. But we'll see who's laughing when I...
Copy !req
158. Newgenisphere,
jam all Apokaliptan signals in the area.
Copy !req
159. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
160. I warned you
that tactic would be ineffective.
Copy !req
161. Por favor, I'm trying to...
Copy !req
162. What is that thing?
Copy !req
163. Something we don't want within a mile
of the nuclear reactor. Open fire!
Copy !req
164. Mixing an Appellaxian husk
with the potential for nuclear meltdown...
Copy !req
165. could be a recipe for disaster.
Or hilarity.
Copy !req
166. I haven't decided.
Copy !req
167. Want me to stop the thing?
Copy !req
168. No. This incident taken
to its ultimate extreme may prove useful.
Copy !req
169. But you could deal with the interloper meat
back in the clearing.
Copy !req
170. Happy to oblige, Partner.
Copy !req
171. You freed the beast, Superbrat.
Copy !req
172. Now no one's controlling the monster.
Copy !req
173. Blue, lock them down.
Copy !req
174. That tactic would be more effective
if you fired through bone.
Copy !req
175. - Ugh. No.
Blue, let's go.
Copy !req
176. - Fight your inner demons later.
- Demon. Singular.
Copy !req
177. One's enough, believe me.
Copy !req
178. Deploy.
We can't let it breach the reactor.
Copy !req
179. Hold it down.
Copy !req
180. Lock it down.
Copy !req
181. Working on it.
Copy !req
182. Sphere, pill bug mode.
See if you can take control of it.
Copy !req
183. I don't suppose we could just ask it
to play nice.
Copy !req
184. Such a tactic would betray weakness.
Copy !req
185. Wait, you mean it's possible?
Copy !req
186. I'm whelmed by all this attention.
Copy !req
187. What are you even doing here, West?
I thought you ditched the hero game.
Copy !req
188. Ditching the game
doesn't mean ditching friends.
Copy !req
189. And before you round back
to the original Roy again...
Copy !req
190. let's face the facts.
Copy !req
191. He was never our friend.
Copy !req
192. We've all done the math.
Copy !req
193. Speedy was abducted
before any of us met.
Copy !req
194. You're the guy we trained beside,
fought beside.
Copy !req
195. You're the only you we know.
Copy !req
196. You're our friend.
Copy !req
197. Just because you're a clone with anger
management issues doesn't change that.
Copy !req
198. Seriously. Have you met Superboy'?
Copy !req
199. All done?
Copy !req
200. You wanna salvage someone's soul,
go get Kaldur to see the light.
Copy !req
201. From what I hear, he needs
course correcting, but leave me out.
Copy !req
202. Write me off. Or don't.
Copy !req
203. Either way, blow.
Copy !req
204. Stop, Blue. Sonics don't work.
Copy !req
205. - Not as an attack, but maybe as a...
Frequency adjusted. Proceed.
Copy !req
206. Blue, break off. Whatever you're doing,
break off before it kills you.
Copy !req
207. No, it's not attacking.
Copy !req
208. It's communicating.
Copy !req
209. Communicating its pain.
Copy !req
210. Listen.
Copy !req
211. Where is the stillness
of wood, of stone, of crystal, of metal?
Copy !req
212. All this noise, all this life, is pain.
Copy !req
213. We sensed the power in this place.
Copy !req
214. Power enough to destroy us,
to end the pain, to be still again.
Copy !req
215. I can relate.
Copy !req
216. I mean, we can help you.
We will help you.
Copy !req
217. Sorry, meat,
but we can't have that.
Copy !req
218. Don't know who you guys are,
but you took that thing down.
Copy !req
219. Probably saved the whole East Coast.
Copy !req
220. It was alive...
Copy !req
221. and now it's gone.
Copy !req
222. Who attacked? Who killed it?
Copy !req
223. Someone ugly.
Copy !req
224. I'm telling you, they're long...
Copy !req
225. Gone.
Copy !req
226. They're alive, breathing.
Copy !req
227. Steady heartbeats, but non-responsive.
Copy !req
228. As requested, Ugly and Whisper
are now a living warning...
Copy !req
229. to anyone straying
from the path of the Light.
Copy !req
230. But why blow up Gruesome?
Copy !req
231. Seems like a wasted resource.
Copy !req
232. A resource falling into enemy hands
is a resource best disposed of.
Copy !req
233. Partner, I like the way you think.
Copy !req
234. How'd it go'?
Copy !req
235. It didn't.
Copy !req
236. We talked.
Copy !req
237. He wouldn't hear us.
Copy !req
238. And on top of that, my Vietnamese
Lit paper's still due at 8 a.m.
Copy !req
239. - I don't suppose I could copy off yours?
- Heh.
Copy !req
240. Not a chance.
Copy !req
241. Hey, it's after midnight.
Copy !req
242. Happy Valentine's Day, Artemis.
Copy !req
243. You remembered.
Copy !req
244. Come on,
what kind of jerk would I be...
Copy !req
245. if I forgot Valentine's Day?
Copy !req
246. For the fifth year in a row.
Copy !req
247. Well, I remembered too.
Copy !req
248. I got you your favorite food, everything.
Copy !req
249. Babe, you rock.
Copy !req
250. You're still worried about Roy.
Copy !req
251. He's lost, babe.
Copy !req
252. Alone.
Copy !req
253. The guy just won't let anyone in.
Copy !req
254. Someone looks worse for wear.
Copy !req
255. Cheshire.
Copy !req
256. Chill, Red.
Copy !req
257. I'm not here to fight.
Copy !req
258. I'm here to make you clean up your act.
Copy !req
259. Not you too.
Copy !req
260. Forget it, Jade,
you lost the right to backseat drive...
Copy !req
261. when you left me
to return to a life of crime.
Copy !req
262. That's not why I left.
Copy !req
263. It was just a side benefit.
Copy !req
264. Besides, I'm still your wife, legally.
Copy !req
265. Grants me certain privileges
to knock sense into you.
Copy !req
266. Roy, I left because your obsession
with finding Speedy was all-consuming.
Copy !req
267. There wasn't room in your life
for anything else or anyone.
Copy !req
268. Not me, and not our daughter.
Copy !req
269. We have a daughter?
Copy !req
270. Lian Nguyen-Harper.
Copy !req
271. She needs her father, Roy.
Copy !req
272. You have to get your head on straight,
for her.
Copy !req
273. And that means you need to exorcise
Speedy's ghost once and for all.
Copy !req
274. So while I was away,
I called in every chip I had.
Copy !req
275. I got us a lead, Red.
Copy !req
276. One last chance
to find the original Roy Harper.
Copy !req
