1. I'm not seeing or hearing
Copy !req
2. any survivors under the rubble.
Copy !req
3. And the deceased
are all Thanagarian.
Copy !req
4. - No parademons.
- Parademons?
Copy !req
5. There's no evidence
Copy !req
6. this was done by any
Apokaliptan.
Copy !req
7. Yeah, the ring won't
translate that last word, but...
Copy !req
8. - I can tell you what it means.
- I got the gist. Thank you.
Copy !req
9. Commander Talak,
Copy !req
10. this Nth metal refinery fits
the profile of other facilities
Copy !req
11. raided by parademons
on several planets.
Copy !req
12. Yet the attack pattern here
is different.
Copy !req
13. I don't see the usual evidence
of parademon weapons fire.
Copy !req
14. And the Javelin detected no trace
of Boom Tube activity in the area.
Copy !req
15. I assume your scans confirm the Nth
metal stockpiles here have been...
Copy !req
16. Been stolen, yes,
Lieutenant Thal.
Copy !req
17. But the theft of a common element
is the least of our concerns.
Copy !req
18. Sir, Nth metal
is only common on Thanagar.
Copy !req
19. And thus Apokalips checks another rare
raw material off its grocery list.
Copy !req
20. As I said, Captain Hol,
Copy !req
21. there's no evidence this was
an Apokaliptan attack.
Copy !req
22. Our scans have only detected
earthling bio signs.
Copy !req
23. But fortunately
for your friends,
Copy !req
24. not their bio signs.
Copy !req
25. You've been scanning us?
Copy !req
26. Smart.
Trust no one.
Copy !req
27. Certainly not earthlings.
Copy !req
28. Sir, we sent you the evidence.
Copy !req
29. Earth meta-humans
are being kidnapped off planet
Copy !req
30. for use by Apokaliptan forces.
Copy !req
31. The metas are mind-controlled
Copy !req
32. into violent action.
We've seen it.
Copy !req
33. Then, perhaps we should
send a hawk fleet
Copy !req
34. to quarantine Earth's populus
Copy !req
35. since the task
is clearly too difficult
Copy !req
36. for certain officers
and their human sidekicks.
Copy !req
37. Don't call us sidekicks.
Copy !req
38. Respectfully,
Copy !req
39. the Justice League
has been traveling the galaxy
Copy !req
40. in peaceful cooperation with...
Copy !req
41. Yes, yes,
you've sung this song before,
Copy !req
42. during your first contact
apology tour.
Copy !req
43. You claim then, that you and
Lieutenant Thal were mind-controlled
Copy !req
44. into violent acts on Rimbor.
Copy !req
45. Thanagar is still working
to repair our reputation from that.
Copy !req
46. And now that Thanagar itself
falls victim to human attack,
Copy !req
47. look who shows up
to sing a reprieve.
Copy !req
48. - Commander...
- You're done here.
Copy !req
49. Dismissed.
Copy !req
50. - Who's the now?
- Guy!
Copy !req
51. Relax. While you were squawking
with commander bird brain
Copy !req
52. I did some scanning of my own.
Copy !req
53. Boom Tubes
may have left no trace
Copy !req
54. but I found an ion trail
from the attacker's ship.
Copy !req
55. They flew away
on their own power,
Copy !req
56. meaning, they screwed up,
and we have a new lead.
Copy !req
57. You kinda want to
kiss the ring now, don't you?
Copy !req
58. Little bit?
Kinda want to kiss the ring?
Copy !req
59. Come on! Somebody kiss it.
Copy !req
60. - Kiss it!
- Guy!
Copy !req
61. Mmm.
Copy !req
62. I cannot believe this
is your first breakfast burrito.
Copy !req
63. An entire meal wrapped
in a warm tortilla,
Copy !req
64. pure enjoyment
for mouth and hands.
Copy !req
65. My sister and I
were raised in a castle where
Copy !req
66. eating with one's hands
was not encouraged.
Copy !req
67. I guess then you only ate
Copy !req
68. with those silver spoons
you were born with, huh?
Copy !req
69. Hmm. And your life with your
eminent scientist father
Copy !req
70. was one of economic hardship?
Copy !req
71. Uh, no.
Copy !req
72. Maybe this would be
a good time to get to it.
Copy !req
73. Listen, you've all
reached a crossroads.
Copy !req
74. Vic, you have
your own decisions to make.
Copy !req
75. But Brion, Tara,
Violet, Forager,
Copy !req
76. we feel the four of you
Copy !req
77. are ready to work
with the Justice League's
Copy !req
78. covert ops team to help mankind.
Copy !req
79. But being a hero
isn't for everyone.
Copy !req
80. This a choice you each have
to make for yourself.
Copy !req
81. And the decision you make now
doesn't have to be a permanent one.
Copy !req
82. No judgement from us either way.
Copy !req
83. You've already risked
your lives for each other
Copy !req
84. and for the meta-teens we
rescued in Bialya. That's enough.
Copy !req
85. I've made my choice.
Copy !req
86. And Bialya has proven
I made the right one.
Copy !req
87. To protect the innocent,
no matter the danger.
Copy !req
88. But facing danger isn't a
mandatory part of our mission.
Copy !req
89. Troia of Themyscira
and Garth of Atlantis
Copy !req
90. both left the front lines.
Copy !req
91. Now they fight the good fight
inside the system
Copy !req
92. as ambassadors
to the United Nations.
Copy !req
93. And you need to know there is no
shame in leaving this life behind.
Copy !req
94. A few years back
I quit the team with...
Copy !req
95. Wally West.
Copy !req
96. The first Kid Flash.
Copy !req
97. We went to college,
Copy !req
98. rented an apartment.
Copy !req
99. We had a life together.
Copy !req
100. And then, Wally,
Copy !req
101. my best friend,
Copy !req
102. came back to the life
and sacrificed everything,
Copy !req
103. so we could all be here today,
Copy !req
104. at the ruins
of our former headquarters.
Copy !req
105. Our former home.
Copy !req
106. Another sacrifice made
for the greater good.
Copy !req
107. So, the three of us live with the
consequences of these sacrifices.
Copy !req
108. We stand for those
who have fallen
Copy !req
109. and we fight for those
who can't.
Copy !req
110. That's our choice.
Copy !req
111. But it doesn't have to be yours.
Copy !req
112. And today's the day we are to
make this important life decision?
Copy !req
113. Yeah.
Copy !req
114. Today's the day.
Copy !req
115. After extensive investigation,
Copy !req
116. the Justice League discovered
that the entertainment device
Copy !req
117. known as Goode VR goggles
Copy !req
118. is part of a major
meta-human trafficking chain.
Copy !req
119. These devices secretly test
users for the meta gene.
Copy !req
120. Subliminal messages
in the goggles' content
Copy !req
121. direct victims
to discreet locations
Copy !req
122. for abduction, meta gene
activation, and enslavement.
Copy !req
123. New meta-humans
are then trafficked and traded
Copy !req
124. on the black market
by criminal organizations.
Copy !req
125. To save lives placed in
immediate danger by this scheme,
Copy !req
126. the Justice League took swift action
to shut down these trafficking centers.
Copy !req
127. Those rescued will be counseled
and rehabilitated here
Copy !req
128. at the S.T.A.R. Labs
Meta-human Youth Center.
Copy !req
129. The Justice League now calls
upon the governments of Earth
Copy !req
130. to investigate
Goode World Studios
Copy !req
131. for their role in this
heinous plot against humanity.
Copy !req
132. Yes, the League saved a few kids
Copy !req
133. which they've since
dumped in Taos.
Copy !req
134. But since these heroes failed to
coordinate with local authorities,
Copy !req
135. the big players in the meta trafficking
game vanished into the woodwork,
Copy !req
136. further antagonizing national
and international governments,
Copy !req
137. with whom the League
should be cooperating.
Copy !req
138. Yes, cooperation, folks.
Copy !req
139. That's how a society
achieves justice.
Copy !req
140. The people demand it,
Copy !req
141. the social media demands it,
Copy !req
142. foreign governments demand it
while threatening sanctions.
Copy !req
143. Even Gotham City Police
Commissioner James Gordon,
Copy !req
144. no relation, has shut down
the infamous Bat signal.
Copy !req
145. A clear good riddance
to the ex-Leaguer.
Copy !req
146. With me today
is the latest target
Copy !req
147. of the Justice League's
attacks, a close,
Copy !req
148. personal frenemy of the show,
Copy !req
149. please welcome Gretchen Goode.
Copy !req
150. The pop culture icon
known as Granny Goodness.
Copy !req
151. Thank you, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
152. Your flair for drama is always
the perfect spoonful of sugar
Copy !req
153. to choke on after the medicine
goes down.
Copy !req
154. You get me, old girl.
Copy !req
155. You really do.
Copy !req
156. What I get is the gravity of the
League's accusations against my company.
Copy !req
157. Just as I get my responsibility
to own up to our mistakes.
Copy !req
158. Why, Granny,
I expected a denial,
Copy !req
159. a counter attack.
Copy !req
160. But a mea culpa?
Copy !req
161. Yes.
Copy !req
162. I'm afraid
one of my closest friends,
Copy !req
163. Dakar Marlo,
director of Goode R&D
Copy !req
164. betrayed my organization,
Copy !req
165. my customers, and my trust.
Copy !req
166. He perverted our goggles
without my knowledge
Copy !req
167. or permission.
Copy !req
168. Sounds like
you have the evidence
Copy !req
169. to bring this scoundrel
to justice.
Copy !req
170. I do, and I would.
Copy !req
171. But Mr. Marlo was found
murdered this past August,
Copy !req
172. likely by the same villains
with whom he did business.
Copy !req
173. Then, perhaps justice
has been served up,
Copy !req
174. not by the League but by karma.
Copy !req
175. No, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
176. True justice
Copy !req
177. will be served up
by your dear old Granny.
Copy !req
178. All of my faulty devices
have been recalled.
Copy !req
179. I'll soon be offering new
and improved technologies
Copy !req
180. for the people's entertainment.
Copy !req
181. And Goode World Studios
Copy !req
182. will continue funding
the Meta-human Youth Center
Copy !req
183. for families harmed
by Marlo's betrayal.
Copy !req
184. So you can rest assured,
Copy !req
185. Granny will make everything
right as rain.
Copy !req
186. He took my purse!
Copy !req
187. Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
You're Garfield Logan?
Copy !req
188. Thank you!
Copy !req
189. The behavior of our stars
reflects on this studio,
Copy !req
190. and you are trending!
Copy !req
191. Excellent work, Garfield.
Copy !req
192. Your mother would be so...
Copy !req
193. Don't even mention my mom!
Copy !req
194. And cut the Granny gimmick.
Copy !req
195. I know what you are, Gretchen.
Copy !req
196. You really have no idea
what I am,
Copy !req
197. so mind your manners, child,
Copy !req
198. and your elders.
Copy !req
199. Bring it.
Copy !req
200. Good gosh.
Copy !req
201. Two years in space and I have
not missed Themyscira more
Copy !req
202. than at this very moment.
Copy !req
203. Great Scott! Up ahead.
Copy !req
204. We're coming up
on some kind of asteroid base.
Copy !req
205. One that's easily
twice the size of the Watchtower.
Copy !req
206. It's not every day the
team recruits a new member.
Copy !req
207. Today I'm happy to welcome four.
Copy !req
208. Terra, Geo-force,
Halo and Forager.
Copy !req
209. Your new teammates,
Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle,
Copy !req
210. Kid Flash, Static and Thirteen
Copy !req
211. will be glad
to have reinforcements.
Copy !req
212. And, personally,
Copy !req
213. I am thrilled we have
another alien on the team.
Copy !req
214. And two more girls.
Copy !req
215. We're keeping pace.
Copy !req
216. More girls...
Copy !req
217. I have given thought to this.
Copy !req
218. Despite my outward appearance,
Copy !req
219. I do not know
that I am a girl or a boy
Copy !req
220. as Earth languages
define the words.
Copy !req
221. Yeah, but your soul,
it's from...
Copy !req
222. A Mother Box.
Copy !req
223. An approximate
English translation
Copy !req
224. of the New Genesian word
for what I was.
Copy !req
225. But what I am now
Copy !req
226. is just me.
Copy !req
227. Is that okay?
Copy !req
228. Beyond okay.
Copy !req
229. Oh, but I'm sorry.
Copy !req
230. I interrupted your briefing.
Copy !req
231. It's fine.
Copy !req
232. I'm truly thrilled you're
discovering who you are inside.
Copy !req
233. Plus, there's more good news.
Copy !req
234. Superboy and Tigress
are rejoining the team.
Copy !req
235. Keeping an eye on us?
Copy !req
236. Spending more time
with my fiancée.
Copy !req
237. Recognized.
Beast Boy, B19.
Copy !req
238. Garfield. Are you sure
you've thought this through?
Copy !req
239. Yeah. I want back on the team.
Copy !req
240. We were just
noting the buzz online.
Copy !req
241. Gorilla heroics
got the itch scratchin', huh?
Copy !req
242. It's more than that.
Copy !req
243. I put Gretchen Goode on notice.
Copy !req
244. She might have me locked
into an acting contract,
Copy !req
245. but she doesn't control
my off hours.
Copy !req
246. And I'm here
to help take her down.
Copy !req
247. We don't have
any leads on Goode yet.
Copy !req
248. But you're always welcome on the
team, little brother.
Copy !req
249. Can't send you
on every stealth mission,
Copy !req
250. your powers
are too recognizable.
Copy !req
251. But I'll juggle assignments
to keep you
Copy !req
252. as busy as you want to be.
Copy !req
253. Looks like your team
just doubled in size.
Copy !req
254. Good. We need
all the help we can get.
Copy !req
255. Oh, speaking of help.
Copy !req
256. Troia and Catherine are
taking the fight public again.
Copy !req
257. Despite Lex Luthor's
short-sighted views
Copy !req
258. the Justice League
must maintain its autonomy.
Copy !req
259. Decisions by political committee
Copy !req
260. take too long,
and could cost lives.
Copy !req
261. Behind us is the former site
of the Hall of Justice.
Copy !req
262. It's been two years since the Hall
was destroyed by alien attack.
Copy !req
263. And the committee to renovate
the site is deadlocked
Copy !req
264. on how to proceed.
Copy !req
265. Now, imagine this process...
Copy !req
266. Luthor's process
Copy !req
267. applied to the life and death
missions of the Justice League.
Copy !req
268. Really, Lex Luthor,
Copy !req
269. how do you find the time
to be a leader of nations
Copy !req
270. and the super villain
the League frames you to be?
Copy !req
271. It is exhausting, G. Gordon.
Copy !req
272. Honestly though,
I have grown weary
Copy !req
273. of these tit-for-tat
public statements.
Copy !req
274. Certainly the League sees the difference
between autonomy and oversight.
Copy !req
275. We need accountability
and transparency.
Copy !req
276. That's why the UN has had a
satellite parked near the Watchtower
Copy !req
277. for the last two years.
Copy !req
278. So, we watch the Watchtower,
Copy !req
279. but who watches the watchman?
Copy !req
280. Even your own LexCorp
has oversight, correct?
Copy !req
281. Of course.
Copy !req
282. To avoid any conflict of
interests with my current duties,
Copy !req
283. I place LexCorp
in a blind trust.
Copy !req
284. My sister Lena now runs LexCorp.
Copy !req
285. Miss Luthor
recently made headlines
Copy !req
286. by pledging LexCorp funds
to the Meta-Human Youth Center.
Copy !req
287. Are you saying
you had nothing to do
Copy !req
288. with Lena's
charitable grandstanding?
Copy !req
289. Why, G. Gordon,
Copy !req
290. I'm not saying anything at all.
Copy !req
291. The ion trail
leads directly to target base.
Copy !req
292. An ion trail?
Copy !req
293. But my dear Barda,
Copy !req
294. that cannot be correct.
Copy !req
295. Not when we have
a clear policy of Boom Tubing
Copy !req
296. back and forth
from all raid sites.
Copy !req
297. I was laying a trap
for these vermin.
Copy !req
298. The time to hide is over.
Copy !req
299. Now we can fight...
Copy !req
300. What has Granny Goodness
taught you, child?
Copy !req
301. We serve only Darkseid.
Copy !req
302. And through me,
Copy !req
303. his will be done.
Copy !req
304. Granny will choose the time
for conflict.
Copy !req
305. And to be clear,
Copy !req
306. that wasn't torture, Desaad.
Copy !req
307. It was discipline.
Copy !req
308. I love Barda enough to
punish her for her own good.
Copy !req
309. But you'll see torture
soon enough.
Copy !req
310. The Watchtower is very crash.
Copy !req
311. Never in a million years
did I think
Copy !req
312. I would travel into space.
Copy !req
313. Victor, maybe next time
you can...
Copy !req
314. No, no, no, thank you.
Copy !req
315. Uh, despite appearances I'm not
the Watchtower superhero type.
Copy !req
316. I'm getting my old body back.
Copy !req
317. And the only space I need
is my own room.
Copy !req
318. If I have to hear your phone
chime another text from Violet
Copy !req
319. I may go all Fatherbox on you guys.
Copy !req
320. It is from Violet.
Copy !req
321. - How did you...
- Please.
Copy !req
322. She's always texting you.
Copy !req
323. Yes.
Copy !req
324. I suppose she is.
Copy !req
325. Not me!
Copy !req
326. Violet!
Lian spilled her juice.
Copy !req
327. - Not me! Not me!
- Coming.
Copy !req
328. Tara, it's time
for Brucely's walk.
Copy !req
329. Oh, you got him. Thanks.
Copy !req
330. - Full house, huh?
- Yeah, yeah. Never a dull moment.
Copy !req
331. But the girls
pull their weight, so,
Copy !req
332. we make do. Caffeine me.
Copy !req
333. We'll be right back after I
clean up this juice monster.
Copy !req
334. Not me!
Copy !req
335. You've built a home
full of love, William.
Copy !req
336. It is nice to see.
Copy !req
337. - Helga.
- I...
Copy !req
338. I feel so useless.
Copy !req
339. - Helga...
- Hear me out.
Copy !req
340. You've all done
so much for these children.
Copy !req
341. Yet I also wish to contribute.
Copy !req
342. Victor refuses to return to
his father or S.T.A.R. Labs.
Copy !req
343. And I believe
I could be of service to him.
Copy !req
344. But I would need
a fully equipped laboratory
Copy !req
345. to provide
any assistance at all.
Copy !req
346. I realize it's a lot to ask.
Copy !req
347. But how else could I repay
the kindness you've shown me.
Copy !req
348. Big Barda, open fire for Granny.
Copy !req
349. Hail Granny Goodness!
Copy !req
350. Hail Darkseid!
Copy !req
351. Apokaliptan
canon fire ain't no joke.
Copy !req
352. - You're lucky I'm here to cover your butt.
- Returning fire.
Copy !req
353. Missiles through their shields.
Copy !req
354. Hitting target.
Copy !req
355. Now!
Copy !req
356. Cursed Hawks gave them
Nth metal missiles.
Copy !req
357. The impact triggered
a decompression in section 16.
Copy !req
358. No.
Copy !req
359. It hid an incursion
Copy !req
360. or failed to.
Copy !req
361. Barda, summon the Furies.
Copy !req
362. At last.
Copy !req
363. Huh, underwhelming security.
Copy !req
364. Stay whelmed.
Copy !req
365. We're not out of this yet.
Copy !req
366. - Stay what?
- Oh, uh,
Copy !req
367. - guess I picked that up from...
- The children,
Copy !req
368. I think we found them.
Copy !req
369. The missing eight from Markovia.
Copy !req
370. No.
Copy !req
371. All of them.
Copy !req
372. The end point
of the light's trafficking
Copy !req
373. of meta-humans
to the forces of Apokolips.
Copy !req
374. That may not be the worst of it.
Copy !req
375. Look at the size of this thing.
Copy !req
376. Scans read all of the
stolen elements within it.
Copy !req
377. - Can you tell what it's designed...
- Furies!
Copy !req
378. Attack!
Copy !req
379. Stop! We don't want
to hurt you.
Copy !req
380. Good.
Copy !req
381. Makes it easier to hurt you!
Copy !req
382. Whoa.
Copy !req
383. Enough, Desaad.
Copy !req
384. I know our master's machine
isn't ready.
Copy !req
385. But if the Earth heroes
destroy the device,
Copy !req
386. will you explain to Darkseid?
Copy !req
