1. This is no time
for you to resign.
Copy !req
2. I'm not resigning.
Copy !req
3. Just taking
a leave of absence.
Copy !req
4. Besides, if you need help,
Copy !req
5. Barbara is more
than ready to step up.
Copy !req
6. Agreed. But, Dick—
Copy !req
7. I need a break, Kaldur.
Copy !req
8. You, me, Wally, we...
Copy !req
9. We founded this team.
Copy !req
10. Without him...
Copy !req
11. I understand.
Copy !req
12. This team has had successes.
Copy !req
13. But much remains to be done.
Copy !req
14. Superboy, Miss Martian,
Beast Boy, you're Alpha.
Copy !req
15. B'arzz O'oomm
has called from Mars.
Copy !req
16. He needs help.
Copy !req
17. Tigress, Kid Flash, Bumblebee,
Copy !req
18. Guardian, you're Beta.
Copy !req
19. Lexcorp is bringing out
Copy !req
20. The Reach soft drink
under a new name.
Copy !req
21. We need proof.
Copy !req
22. Business as usual.
Copy !req
23. I'm sorry, Otto.
We couldn't find a transplant.
Copy !req
24. And your sister, Ana...
Copy !req
25. her heart just gave out.
Copy !req
26. Ot...
Copy !req
27. Otto.
Copy !req
28. None of that, now.
Copy !req
29. Initiating tar protocol.
Copy !req
30. Otto!
Copy !req
31. Meta-gene activated.
Copy !req
32. Let's see what we've got.
Copy !req
33. Ice, look out!
Copy !req
34. No worries, Ice.
Copy !req
35. I got you covered.
Copy !req
36. Lightning, don't let
that thing touch you.
Copy !req
37. I kinda figured.
Copy !req
38. I'll just zap ugly here
into dreamland for a while.
Copy !req
39. What just happened?
Copy !req
40. I don't hear a heartbeat.
Copy !req
41. No, no, no. That wasn't
enough juice to kill anything.
Copy !req
42. It cannot be dead.
Copy !req
43. She. It is a she.
Copy !req
44. Or was.
Copy !req
45. Scans indicate heart failure,
Copy !req
46. and I'm reading a female,
Copy !req
47. approximate age
14 Earth years.
Copy !req
48. - Earth years?
- Yes.
Copy !req
49. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
50. But this is a human girl.
Copy !req
51. A child.
Copy !req
52. From Earth.
Copy !req
53. Excellent work,
Alpha Squad.
Copy !req
54. Textbook op, truly.
Copy !req
55. Gamma, you could learn
something from—
Copy !req
56. Recognized.
Steel, 3-6.
Copy !req
57. Black Lightning, 2-3.
Copy !req
58. Where are they?
Copy !req
59. Already in
the conference room.
Copy !req
60. Most of them, anyway.
Copy !req
61. Why isn't Lightning
in costume?
Copy !req
62. Well, that's everyone but
the League's fearless leader.
Copy !req
63. Recognized.
Aquaman, 2-7.
Copy !req
64. And speak of the devil.
Copy !req
65. They're, uh,
all waiting for you.
Copy !req
66. I am not
looking forward to this.
Copy !req
67. M'gann, as leader of the team,
Copy !req
68. you are invited to observe.
Copy !req
69. Do I want to observe?
Copy !req
70. Probably not, but please come.
Copy !req
71. I believe I could
use the moral support.
Copy !req
72. You have that, Kaldur. Always.
Copy !req
73. I hereby call
this emergency meeting
Copy !req
74. of the Justice League
to order.
Copy !req
75. I see that all of the Leaguers
stationed on Earth are here,
Copy !req
76. either in person,
or via hologram.
Copy !req
77. So, let us get right to it.
Copy !req
78. My coach here has urgent news
from the heroes she is leading
Copy !req
79. on our various
missions in space.
Copy !req
80. All right, we
have confirmation.
Copy !req
81. Meta-human trafficking
on Earth
Copy !req
82. has spilled out
into the galaxy.
Copy !req
83. On multiple worlds,
Earth's meta-humans
Copy !req
84. are being deployed
by the enemy
Copy !req
85. as weapons
of mass destruction.
Copy !req
86. Among other things,
their presence in space
Copy !req
87. is undermining our efforts
to rebuild both Earth
Copy !req
88. and the League's reputations
Copy !req
89. after our trial
on the planet Brimbor.
Copy !req
90. Right.
That's the problem.
Copy !req
91. I'm sorry, Jeff.
Copy !req
92. I... I didn't mean to diminish
Copy !req
93. the life of that girl.
Copy !req
94. I know, Diana.
Copy !req
95. Forget I said anything.
It's just...
Copy !req
96. It's just, we need to know
how this happened
Copy !req
97. and how it got by us.
Copy !req
98. Here on Earth,
our ongoing struggle
Copy !req
99. with meta-human
trafficking has...
Copy !req
100. Struggle? Try disaster.
Copy !req
101. Teens and even kids
are being abducted
Copy !req
102. at an unprecedented scale.
Copy !req
103. They're tested
for the meta-gene,
Copy !req
104. and if they test positive,
they're used as guinea pigs
Copy !req
105. to create new meta-humans.
Copy !req
106. And even if they
test negative,
Copy !req
107. they're rarely seen again.
Copy !req
108. Meta-humans are being treated
Copy !req
109. as the next
exploitable resource.
Copy !req
110. By first-world countries,
third-world countries,
Copy !req
111. rogue nations, corporations...
Copy !req
112. It's a global pandemic.
Copy !req
113. And globally, we are faced
with obstacles at every turn.
Copy !req
114. United Nations
Secretary General, Lex Luthor
Copy !req
115. is using our UN charter
Copy !req
116. to place more and more
restrictions on the League.
Copy !req
117. We have to assume he's
working behind the scenes
Copy !req
118. to turn other nations
against us.
Copy !req
119. He's hamstrung us.
I mean, come on!
Copy !req
120. When that tsunami hit Rhelasia,
Copy !req
121. we couldn't even go in
on a humanitarian mission.
Copy !req
122. We've become removed,
Copy !req
123. distant from the people
Copy !req
124. the League
was created to serve.
Copy !req
125. Not by choice.
Copy !req
126. Perhaps it's time
to acknowledge that the League
Copy !req
127. has outlived its usefulness
on Earth.
Copy !req
128. - Batman.
- That's overstating things.
Copy !req
129. - Don't you think?
- No, I don't.
Copy !req
130. And I'm offering
an alternative.
Copy !req
131. If your alternative
is to disband the League,
Copy !req
132. I think you are forgetting
all of the good we do.
Copy !req
133. Did. Past tense.
Copy !req
134. Present tense.
Copy !req
135. The League
has its difficulties.
Copy !req
136. I acknowledge that.
Copy !req
137. But we still have
a positive impact.
Copy !req
138. And we are an important symbol
Copy !req
139. for truth
and justice worldwide.
Copy !req
140. Kaldur, symbols
are great, but—
Copy !req
141. But all that matters
is the mission.
Copy !req
142. If the UN is a roadblock
to that mission,
Copy !req
143. then we remove it
by removing the League.
Copy !req
144. Bruce, please.
Copy !req
145. - You are a founding member.
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
146. But, I hereby tender
my resignation
Copy !req
147. to the Justice League.
Copy !req
148. So do I.
Copy !req
149. Ollie.
Copy !req
150. This was a plan.
You, Batman and the others,
Copy !req
151. you arranged this in advance.
Copy !req
152. You should leave
with us, Dinah.
Copy !req
153. We can do
a lot of good this way.
Copy !req
154. Well, you're off
to a fine start.
Copy !req
155. You knew I wouldn't be
part of blindsiding Kaldur,
Copy !req
156. so you kept me
out of the loop.
Copy !req
157. - I—
- If you're leaving, leave.
Copy !req
158. I swear
I wasn't a part of this.
Copy !req
159. But I came here today to
Copy !req
160. resign in person.
Copy !req
161. I felt I owed you
and the League that much.
Copy !req
162. It's just...
Copy !req
163. I can't do this anymore.
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
165. I understand.
Copy !req
166. We will have
to issue a statement.
Copy !req
167. - You mean, disown them.
- Yes.
Copy !req
168. So the League won't
be held responsible
Copy !req
169. for its former
members' actions.
Copy !req
170. Hmm.
Copy !req
171. It's time.
Copy !req
172. Time? Time for what?
Copy !req
173. Recognized.
Green Arrow, 0-8.
Copy !req
174. Robin. Tim.
Where are you going?
Copy !req
175. Spoiler, C-2-8.
Copy !req
176. Arrowette, P-2-7.
Copy !req
177. - Robin, C-2-0.
- Join us, Jeff.
Copy !req
178. I think we want
the same things.
Copy !req
179. The same things? Really?
Copy !req
180. Batman,
Copy !req
181. I just resigned
from the Justice League.
Copy !req
182. And at least their leaders
were elected democratically.
Copy !req
183. I want nothing to do
with Batman Incorporated.
Copy !req
184. The truth is,
I don't trust you.
Copy !req
185. Especially after
what you pulled in there today.
Copy !req
186. What? What did he pull?
Copy !req
187. I'm sorry, Virgil.
Copy !req
188. Maybe you can
find a new mentor.
Copy !req
189. One who is less damaged.
Copy !req
190. Will someone please
tell me what's going on?
Copy !req
191. Black Lightning, 2-3.
Copy !req
192. Perhaps Dick
had the right idea.
Copy !req
193. Intel was
on the money, Oracle.
Copy !req
194. Of course.
Copy !req
195. It's definitely another
meta-human trafficking lab.
Copy !req
196. But is it Bedlam?
Copy !req
197. I'm seeing pods
full of black goo.
Copy !req
198. Sounds like a match.
Copy !req
199. Bedlam uses
a substance called tar
Copy !req
200. as a catalyst for turning
abducted meta-gene kids
Copy !req
201. into full-on meta-humans.
Copy !req
202. Assuming the kids
survive the process.
Copy !req
203. Then let's shut him down.
Copy !req
204. Nightwing?
Nightwing, do you read?
Copy !req
205. You worried about me?
Copy !req
206. Worried you didn't
get a sample of the tar
Copy !req
207. before you blew the place.
Copy !req
208. Way ahead of you.
Copy !req
209. Sending data now.
Copy !req
210. Got it. Running analysis.
Copy !req
211. Okay. This is crash.
Copy !req
212. A solid lead
to the source of the target,
Copy !req
213. hopefully Bedlam Central.
Copy !req
214. Spill.
Copy !req
215. Tar contains a clay
only found in one place.
Copy !req
216. Markovia.
Copy !req
217. Then, Markovia, here we come.
Copy !req
218. This is Cat Grant
reporting live for GBS
Copy !req
219. from the Markovian
Royal Palace.
Copy !req
220. Markovia's King, Viktor Markov
Copy !req
221. and Queen, Ilona DeLamb-Markov
Copy !req
222. are about to hold
a press conference on this,
Copy !req
223. the second anniversary
of the abduction
Copy !req
224. of their daughter,
Princess Tara.
Copy !req
225. No ransom demand
was ever made.
Copy !req
226. She simply vanished
without a trace.
Copy !req
227. With me now is the Princess's
older brother,
Copy !req
228. Prince Brion Markov.
Copy !req
229. Prince Brion, you've just
returned to Markovia
Copy !req
230. after studying abroad
for the last two years.
Copy !req
231. Yes, Cat.
Copy !req
232. After my sister was taken,
Copy !req
233. I felt the need to get away
Copy !req
234. to expand my knowledge
of the world
Copy !req
235. and bring that knowledge back
to serve Markovia.
Copy !req
236. To serve, but not to rule.
Copy !req
237. You have a twin brother?
Copy !req
238. Fraternal twin, yes.
Copy !req
239. Right.
Copy !req
240. And Crown Prince Gregor
is heir to the throne
Copy !req
241. because he was born
16 minutes before you.
Copy !req
242. How does it feel to be
just 16 minutes away
Copy !req
243. from the crown?
Copy !req
244. Excuse me,
we are ready to begin.
Copy !req
245. Oh, Prince Brion,
the press conference.
Copy !req
246. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
247. You're looking at
the Queen's brother,
Copy !req
248. Baron Frederick DeLamb,
Copy !req
249. head of Markovia's
security forces.
Copy !req
250. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
251. the King and Queen
of Markovia.
Copy !req
252. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
253. We'll try to keep this brief.
Copy !req
254. There has been much debate,
Copy !req
255. both internationally
and here in Markovia,
Copy !req
256. about what to do
with Quraci refugees
Copy !req
257. following the invasion
of Qurac
Copy !req
258. by the rogue state of Bialya.
Copy !req
259. So, we will make our position
perfectly clear.
Copy !req
260. Markovia will not
turn its back
Copy !req
261. on desperate people
fleeing tyranny.
Copy !req
262. Quracis are welcome
in Markovia.
Copy !req
263. But that is not what we came
to discuss today.
Copy !req
264. All over the world,
Copy !req
265. children and teens
are being abducted.
Copy !req
266. The way our daughter
was abducted.
Copy !req
267. Meta-human trafficking
is an international scourge.
Copy !req
268. Today, we pledge all
of Markovia's resources
Copy !req
269. to see that scourge ended.
Copy !req
270. Dr. Jace.
Copy !req
271. Prince Brion.
Copy !req
272. Did the results come back?
Copy !req
273. Brion, I've told you,
Copy !req
274. I'm not comfortable with this.
Copy !req
275. I'm your family's physician.
Copy !req
276. I'm not some kind
of mad scientist.
Copy !req
277. Please, Doctor.
Copy !req
278. Did the results come back
or not?
Copy !req
279. Yes.
Copy !req
280. And yes, you tested positive
for the meta-gene.
Copy !req
281. - Which means Tara—
- Yes.
Copy !req
282. Princess Tara would likely
have tested positive as well.
Copy !req
283. Which explains why
she was taken.
Copy !req
284. Which might explain it. Might.
Copy !req
285. Even if your theory
is correct,
Copy !req
286. how does that help?
Copy !req
287. These traffickers
obviously have
Copy !req
288. meta-humans working for them.
Copy !req
289. How does anyone without
his or her own meta-abilities
Copy !req
290. fight such people?
Copy !req
291. Maybe he can't.
Copy !req
292. But maybe...
Copy !req
293. Does Markovia have
the technology
Copy !req
294. to create its own meta-humans?
Copy !req
295. To what end, Brion?
Copy !req
296. To fight meta-fire
with meta-fire?
Copy !req
297. Please answer the question.
Copy !req
298. It could be of life or death
importance to all of us.
Copy !req
299. I don't know the answer.
Copy !req
300. But, I'll try to find out.
Copy !req
301. Thank you, Doctor.
Copy !req
302. I don't know what
the Markov family
Copy !req
303. would do without you.
Copy !req
304. Bruce did it
last night.
Copy !req
305. Walked out with Kate,
Tim, Arrow,
Copy !req
306. Plas and the rest.
Copy !req
307. Can't worry about that now.
What you got?
Copy !req
308. All right, two leads.
Copy !req
309. First, The Markovian
Children's Hospital
Copy !req
310. in Markovburg
Copy !req
311. is using substantially
more electricity
Copy !req
312. than comparable facilities.
Copy !req
313. A children's hospital
would make a great front.
Copy !req
314. And a great source
of test subjects.
Copy !req
315. The second lead?
Copy !req
316. Dr. Simon Ecks,
a world-class geneticist,
Copy !req
317. currently underemployed
as a simple internist
Copy !req
318. at the Children's Hospital.
Copy !req
319. You're going to need backup.
Copy !req
320. I've run
an analysis identifying—
Copy !req
321. Way ahead of you.
Copy !req
322. all right.
Copy !req
323. I, personally,
am up.
Copy !req
324. I'm up.
Copy !req
325. All right, all right,
I'm coming.
Copy !req
326. Here you go.
Copy !req
327. Here you go.
Copy !req
328. - Coffee?
- Please.
Copy !req
329. Hey, Roy. I mean, Will. Will.
Copy !req
330. Sorry, still not used to it.
Copy !req
331. Well, Richard. I mean, Dick,
Copy !req
332. Who are you here
to recruit this time?
Copy !req
333. Freeze!
Copy !req
334. No.
Copy !req
335. The assassinations of
the Markovian King and Queen
Copy !req
336. have changed
mission parameters.
Copy !req
337. The pre-coronation
reception tomorrow night
Copy !req
338. is your last best shot at
getting the intel we need.
Copy !req
339. But with tightened security,
Copy !req
340. you'll want
a couple more recruits.
Copy !req
341. It's hard to explain.
Copy !req
342. Take your time.
Copy !req
343. It's Clark.
Kal-El, Superman.
Copy !req
344. He's been off in space
so long, I feel more of a—
Copy !req
345. - Need?
- Burden.
Copy !req
346. More of a burden here on Earth
to, you know, step up.
Copy !req
347. You'll do what you need
to do, Conner.
Copy !req
348. You'll do what's right.
You always do.
Copy !req
349. - Hey, stranger.
- Hi, M'gann.
Copy !req
350. I need to borrow
your guy, here.
Copy !req
351. There's a meta-human
trafficking syndicate
Copy !req
352. in Markovia
Copy !req
353. that we can shut down
with your help.
Copy !req
354. It should only take a day.
In, out, no muss, no fuss.
Copy !req
355. - Okay.
- Perfect.
Copy !req
356. Um, just a reminder.
Copy !req
357. This is a non-super-suit op.
Copy !req
358. I never wear a super-suit.
Copy !req
359. Sorry, pal, this counts.
Copy !req
360. I'll send you some
dark wear via Zeta-Tube.
Copy !req
361. Text you a time
and a place to meet, all that.
Copy !req
362. Sorry to recruit and run,
Copy !req
363. but I have one more stop
to make today, so, bye.
Copy !req
364. - Bye, Dick.
- See you soon.
Copy !req
365. I don't want to be that kind
of girlfriend, but—
Copy !req
366. But you wish I passed.
Copy !req
367. I just lost
a big chunk of my team
Copy !req
368. to whatever
Batman's got going.
Copy !req
369. I was sort of counting on you.
Copy !req
370. It's just one mission.
Copy !req
371. And you can always
count on me. I can prove it.
Copy !req
372. I'm carrying this
around for a month,
Copy !req
373. waiting for just
the right moment.
Copy !req
374. I figure the moment's now.
Copy !req
375. M'gann, will you marry me?
Copy !req
376. Yes. Yes!
Copy !req
377. Oh, I can hear you trembling
Copy !req
378. in your living rooms now.
Copy !req
379. "But, G. Gordon, martial law?
Copy !req
380. "Isn't that a bit extreme?"
Copy !req
381. But martial law was invented
for a reason, my friends.
Copy !req
382. Isn't that right, Baron?
Copy !req
383. I'm afraid that is
exactly right, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
384. My sister and brother-in-law
Copy !req
385. were assassinated
by a Quraci meta-human.
Copy !req
386. We need to vet every Quraci
in the country
Copy !req
387. for meta-human powers.
Copy !req
388. And that cannot be done
Copy !req
389. without giving Markovia's
patriotic security forces
Copy !req
390. the extreme authority
to get the job done.
Copy !req
391. Well, of course not.
Copy !req
392. Now, what about the throne?
Copy !req
393. Next in line is your nephew,
Prince Gregor. Correct?
Copy !req
394. Indeed.
Copy !req
395. But Gregor is only 17.
Copy !req
396. So, until he comes of age
next year,
Copy !req
397. I will be acting
as his regent.
Copy !req
398. Hello, Dr. Jace?
Copy !req
399. Good night,
Jennifer.
Copy !req
400. Good night, Anissa.
Copy !req
401. I know it's late.
Thanks for letting me see 'em.
Copy !req
402. Of course,
you're their father.
Copy !req
403. I'm giving it up, Lynn.
Copy !req
404. The life, all of it.
Copy !req
405. - Mmm-hmm.
- Seriously.
Copy !req
406. Jeff, I'm the sister
of a Green Lantern
Copy !req
407. and the ex-wife
of a Black Lightning.
Copy !req
408. I know how this
quitting-the-life thing goes.
Copy !req
409. You mean it now,
Copy !req
410. but sticking to it
is something else.
Copy !req
411. Trust me, it'll stick.
Copy !req
412. I have no choice.
Copy !req
413. No.
Copy !req
414. Forget it. Don't even start.
Copy !req
415. It's an entire meta-human
trafficking syndicate
Copy !req
416. that we can take down
in one night.
Copy !req
417. When it's all over,
we go our separate ways.
Copy !req
418. I can't.
Copy !req
419. I know what happened
on Rann, Jeff.
Copy !req
420. But we can make sure
something like that
Copy !req
421. never happens again.
Copy !req
422. You're not hearing me.
Copy !req
423. I'm not saying I won't,
I'm saying I can't.
Copy !req
424. My powers,
they're not working.
Copy !req
425. I'm useless, broken.
Copy !req
426. I came for the man,
not the powers.
Copy !req
427. You're a still a hero,
and I still need you on this.
Copy !req
428. Midnight at
the Centennial Park Zeta-Tube.
Copy !req
429. We'll wait five minutes.
Copy !req
430. I won't be there.
Copy !req
431. I heard that.
Doesn't sound promising.
Copy !req
432. No, it doesn't.
Copy !req
433. And we're running out of time.
Copy !req
434. Recognized.
Tigress, C-0-7.
Copy !req
435. - This all of us?
- No.
Copy !req
436. Don't give me that look.
Copy !req
437. One mission only. Agreed?
Copy !req
438. Agreed.
Copy !req
439. Time is short,
mission briefing en route.
Copy !req
440. Let's go.
Copy !req
441. Recognized.
