1. Conner, the fires...Copy !req
2. Gar! Garfield,
are you all right?Copy !req
3. What happened?Copy !req
4. The Zeta-Tube.
It exploded.Copy !req
5. But my brother...
he was in the tube!Copy !req
6. - Where is he?
I'm not sure.Copy !req
7. But he isn't here.Copy !req
8. He may have zeta'd away
before the explosion.Copy !req
9. You mean the explosionCopy !req
10. caused by the terrorist
Ma'alefa'ak?Copy !req
11. Look,
I'm not my brother'sCopy !req
12. biggest fan right now,Copy !req
13. but M'comm did not do this.Copy !req
14. So you say.Copy !req
15. But Martian ManhunterCopy !req
16. made it to the Watchtower,
right?Copy !req
17. - Em'ree?
Right?Copy !req
18. Em'ree!
I don't know!Copy !req
19. The explosion blew out
the connectionCopy !req
20. to the M'arzz-Earth
Communications Satellite.Copy !req
21. I can't reach the Watchtower!Copy !req
22. Can you fix it?Copy !req
23. Maybe.Copy !req
24. Yes.Copy !req
25. Soon, I hope.Copy !req
26. But J'onn's okay!
He has to be okay!Copy !req
27. - He has to be. He has to be...
- Did the Zeta-Tube malfunction?Copy !req
28. No.Copy !req
29. Some external source
added thermal energyCopy !req
30. to the Power-Core
during the Zeta-Transmission.Copy !req
31. This was clearly sabotage.Copy !req
32. Ma'alefa'ak,
you are under arrest.Copy !req
33. Listen,
I had him pinned,Copy !req
34. telekinetically and psychically.Copy !req
35. And you both were holding
scramblers on him,Copy !req
36. when the Zeta-Tube exploded.Copy !req
37. It's clear
he wasn't behind this.Copy !req
38. Ha! An A'ashenn
defending another A'ashenn.Copy !req
39. What a surprise.Copy !req
40. Seems you've conveniently
forgottenCopy !req
41. how he snuck in hereCopy !req
42. by blocking his presence
telepathically.Copy !req
43. That's not illegal!Copy !req
44. But it's ma'al suspicious.Copy !req
45. Arrested for being A'ashenn.Copy !req
46. Talk about your surprises.Copy !req
47. I have
to go with him.Copy !req
48. All three of us
will go.Copy !req
49. Of course.Copy !req
50. We'll try to find out
what happened here.Copy !req
51. Rita...
Ah, I mean, Em'ree.Copy !req
52. You need to reestablish comm
with the Watchtower.Copy !req
53. In a minute.Copy !req
54. First, I need to performCopy !req
55. some damage control
with the Queen,Copy !req
56. given all the psychic rumors
this explosion will cause.Copy !req
57. We're still investigating
the cause of the explosion.Copy !req
58. understand
there was an explosionCopy !req
59. at the Science Center...Copy !req
60. Ma'alefa'ak was arrested...Copy !req
61. It was A'ashenn terrorism,
of course,Copy !req
62. what else could it be?Copy !req
63. J'onn J'onzz
is reported dead...Copy !req
64. I told you
no ma'al goodCopy !req
65. would come of that Zeta-Tube.Copy !req
66. You mean
the Zeta-TubeCopy !req
67. you wanted stopped?Copy !req
68. What do you imply?Copy !req
69. Mother, is it true?Copy !req
70. Rumors are flying.Copy !req
71. Is J'onn J'onzz really dead?Copy !req
72. We do not know.Copy !req
73. But sabotage is certain.Copy !req
74. And the infamous Ma'alefa'ak
has been arrested.Copy !req
75. There's evidence
against him?Copy !req
76. I'm sure
there will be.Copy !req
77. He's an A'ashenn activist
and agitator.Copy !req
78. He is a terrorist!Copy !req
79. And you know this
based on what?Copy !req
80. Just trust me, my boy.Copy !req
81. You'll understand
when you are older.Copy !req
82. Excuse me.Copy !req
83. I hope the EarthlingsCopy !req
84. are not reacting negatively
to this turn of events.Copy !req
85. Why worry
about ma'al EarthersCopy !req
86. at a time like this?Copy !req
87. Nothing odd here.Copy !req
88. Or here.Copy !req
89. But we got this, right?Copy !req
90. I mean
you've studied with Dick,Copy !req
91. I've studied with Tim.Copy !req
92. We can totally
do the detective thing!Copy !req
93. I know, Gar!
I'm working on it.Copy !req
94. You totally see
something, don't you?Copy !req
95. Burn marks.Copy !req
96. Two small points of impactCopy !req
97. on the Power-Core's
thermal panel.Copy !req
98. There. Bypassed.Copy !req
99. What?
What did you bypass?Copy !req
100. The fried
comm-circuits.Copy !req
101. I should be able
to patch a signalCopy !req
102. through the M'arzz-Earth
Communications SatelliteCopy !req
103. to the Watchtower.Copy !req
104. When? Now?Copy !req
105. Soon.Copy !req
106. Ah. It's no good.Copy !req
107. The Zeta-TubeCopy !req
108. and all communications
to Mars are out.Copy !req
109. Problem's on their end,
not ours.Copy !req
110. Then it is clear...Copy !req
111. Something has gone wrong.Copy !req
112. Just after you zeta'd here,
thankfully.Copy !req
113. Cyborg,
boomtube us there.Copy !req
114. Can't, sorry.Copy !req
115. I've never been to Mars,Copy !req
116. so without a comm signal
to pinpoint a safe location,Copy !req
117. I could end up boomtubing us
into the middle of a mountain.Copy !req
118. There might be
another option.Copy !req
119. Steel.Copy !req
120. We need the Javelin back
at the Watchtower, ASAP.Copy !req
121. Understood.
Setting return course.Copy !req
122. M'arzz to Watchtower.Copy !req
123. Do you read?Copy !req
124. Is J'onn J'onzz with you?Copy !req
125. I am here, Em'ree.Copy !req
126. I am fine.Copy !req
127. What happened on your end?Copy !req
128. Oh, Uncle J'onn!Copy !req
129. You're all right!Copy !req
130. The Zeta-Tube was sabotaged.Copy !req
131. It exploded.
But no one was hurt.Copy !req
132. Dude,
you had us worried!Copy !req
133. We weren't sure you made it out
before the blast.Copy !req
134. Locking in on their signal...Copy !req
135. Hey, bring 'em back!Copy !req
136. I-I can't!
What happened?Copy !req
137. I don't know.Copy !req
138. The M'arzz-Earth
Communications Satellite...Copy !req
139. it isn't down...Copy !req
140. it's gone.Copy !req
141. I didn't have time to secure
a lock on their signal.Copy !req
142. We're right back
where we started.Copy !req
143. Steel, what's your ETA?Copy !req
144. We're on the other side
of the Milky Way.Copy !req
145. Even at post-lightspeedsCopy !req
146. it'll still take us
a couple of days.Copy !req
147. Then for now, M'gann,
Conner, and GarfieldCopy !req
148. are on their own.Copy !req
149. Someone's definitely
trying to cut Mars offCopy !req
150. from Earth
and the Justice League.Copy !req
151. And who would do that?Copy !req
152. And this guy is...Copy !req
153. No idea.Copy !req
154. Prince J'emm.Copy !req
155. Those explosions...Copy !req
156. they couldn't have been
his play, could they?Copy !req
157. No, but he's up to something.Copy !req
158. He wanted to make sure
the League couldn't intervene.Copy !req
159. So what now, Imra?Copy !req
160. Nothing's changed.Copy !req
161. We watch. We wait.Copy !req
162. We stay ready.Copy !req
163. What were you thinking, M'comm?Copy !req
164. Your choices, your actions...Copy !req
165. Son, this is not the way
to bring change.Copy !req
166. It's not your way.Copy !req
167. Because you like being
a grease-mat to the G'arrunns.Copy !req
168. I am G'arrunn!Copy !req
169. Is that how you feel about me?Copy !req
170. I need a moment
alone with my brother.Copy !req
171. Oh,
am I your brother again?Copy !req
172. I thought
the little green beastieCopy !req
173. was your brother now.Copy !req
174. You were
pretty tough on them.Copy !req
175. No tougher
than they deserve,Copy !req
176. from me or you.Copy !req
177. That's not fair.
They love us.Copy !req
178. You know they do.Copy !req
179. Not enough.Copy !req
180. When only two
of twenty-nine childrenCopy !req
181. are A'ashenn,
love is not enough.Copy !req
182. Our parents failed
to teach toleranceCopy !req
183. and acceptance
even in their own home.Copy !req
184. Maybe they failed,Copy !req
185. but at least they tried.Copy !req
186. Which is worth what?Copy !req
187. How many of our
G'arrunn siblingsCopy !req
188. plan to attend your wedding?Copy !req
189. Face it,
our parents' ways don't work.Copy !req
190. And your ways don't work
either, Miss Martian.Copy !req
191. If they did, I wouldn't
be sitting here innocent.Copy !req
192. Innocent of this.Copy !req
193. But you're no innocent.Copy !req
194. You killed two innocents
on New GenesisCopy !req
195. and tried to start a war!Copy !req
196. I-I feel like
I don't even know you anymore.Copy !req
197. Of course,
you don't know me!Copy !req
198. You abandoned me!
Ran away to Earth!Copy !req
199. I...
I-I had to go... I was...Copy !req
200. dying here.Copy !req
201. Don't you think
I know that?Copy !req
202. But why didn't you take me
with you?Copy !req
203. I was a child,
and you were my rock.Copy !req
204. You should've protected me!Copy !req
205. Instead,Copy !req
206. you traded me inCopy !req
207. for a cute little
green Beast Boy.Copy !req
208. I was a child too...Copy !req
209. It's an honor
to meet you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
210. Please, I don't need
any "Your Majesties,"Copy !req
211. especially from a famous Earthling.Copy !req
212. He's half-Kryptonian.Copy !req
213. My apologies.Copy !req
214. The point is, I need an answerCopy !req
215. to who might want
to cut M'arzz offCopy !req
216. from Earth
and your League of Justice.Copy !req
217. Well, the League
was setting up the Zeta-TubeCopy !req
218. so that our sister planetsCopy !req
219. could help
with each other's problems.Copy !req
220. With respect,
M'arzz does seem to have...Copy !req
221. well, a few.Copy !req
222. Yeah,
no offense and all, but...Copy !req
223. woof!Copy !req
224. Most of M'arzz's
current problemsCopy !req
225. stem from the murder
of my father,Copy !req
226. which remains unsolved.Copy !req
227. In fact,Copy !req
228. the king was a big proponentCopy !req
229. of both your Zeta-Tube
and interplanetary cooperation.Copy !req
230. Could these mysteries
be related?Copy !req
231. Absolutely...
Uh, maybe.Copy !req
232. We need to keep an open mind,Copy !req
233. but it's certainly possible.Copy !req
234. We were planning
to reopen the investigationCopy !req
235. with help from the famous
Martian Manhunter.Copy !req
236. Well,
I'm no J'onn J'onzz,Copy !req
237. but Miss Martian, Beast Boy,Copy !req
238. and I have trained
with him extensively.Copy !req
239. And not just him.Copy !req
240. Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl,
Robin, Elongated Man.Copy !req
241. Plus we have our own skills!Copy !req
242. I make a pretty sweet
Detective Chimp!Copy !req
243. I'm sorry.Copy !req
244. A sweet chimp?Copy !req
245. Yep! Even Superboy
thought I was cool.Copy !req
246. And he hates monkeys.Copy !req
247. Uh, it might helpCopy !req
248. if we had more intel
on your father's case.Copy !req
249. Mm, of course.Copy !req
250. What was that?
What did you do?Copy !req
251. I'm sorry!Copy !req
252. downloaded all the intelCopy !req
253. on my father's case
into your minds.Copy !req
254. Yeah, well,
ask permission next time!Copy !req
255. Gar, what are you doing?
Stand down!Copy !req
256. Sorry.Copy !req
257. Thank you for your trust.Copy !req
258. In exchange,
I expect to be kept informed.Copy !req
259. - Of course.Copy !req
260. You're trying
to distract me.Copy !req
261. I know you didn't personally
blow up the Zeta-Tube.Copy !req
262. Nevertheless,
you were lurking, hiding.Copy !req
263. Now, both the Zeta-TubeCopy !req
264. and the M'arzz-Earth
Communications SatelliteCopy !req
265. have been destroyed.Copy !req
266. You didn't know
about the satellite.Copy !req
267. You don't know
what I know.Copy !req
268. Not all of it.
Not yet.Copy !req
269. I'll admit you're stronger
than you were on New Genesis.Copy !req
270. I can feel it.Copy !req
271. You've been working
on your skills.Copy !req
272. But that doesn't mean
you're stronger than I am.Copy !req
273. So what are you up to,
little brother?Copy !req
274. There's a piece of your mind
you still keep closed.Copy !req
275. I'm asking youCopy !req
276. to voluntarily
open it up to me.Copy !req
277. Or what?
- What do you think?Copy !req
278. Spill, M'comm!Copy !req
279. Or I'll take what I need
the hard way.Copy !req
280. You've been watchingCopy !req
281. too many of Uncle J'onn's
Earth cop shows.Copy !req
282. Your mind's too open for me
to fall for this act.Copy !req
283. The hard way?Copy !req
284. You don't do
"the hard way," anymore.Copy !req
285. Let me
put this in termsCopy !req
286. a television fan
can understand.Copy !req
287. The satellite blew up
after I was already in custody.Copy !req
288. I'm obviously not the "perp."Copy !req
289. You got nothing on me.Copy !req
290. Not on this world.Copy !req
291. So tell the M'hontrrs
to charge me or let...Copy !req
292. me... go.Copy !req
293. This is it.Copy !req
294. The Sacred Boat.Copy !req
295. The Sacred River.Copy !req
296. I-I know it sounds silly,Copy !req
297. but I've dreamed
of my Ma'ayava'ana ceremonyCopy !req
298. and wedding since I was little.Copy !req
299. It doesn't
sound silly at all.Copy !req
300. So, Gar,
what do you think?Copy !req
301. Huh? Oh, uh,
yeah, yeah. Crash.Copy !req
302. He's been acting
like a jerk all day.Copy !req
303. I get that he was worried
about J'onn,Copy !req
304. but even after he knew
Manhunter was safe...Copy !req
305. I know.Copy !req
306. I think he's stressed
about being awayCopy !req
307. from the Outsiders
for this long.Copy !req
308. They've become
a second family to him.Copy !req
309. Hey!Copy !req
310. Here, hold this.
Sure.Copy !req
311. Happy to be of service.Copy !req
312. What are they called?Copy !req
313. Ma'arphin beasts.Copy !req
314. I like 'em!Copy !req
315. See, he just
needed a little distraction.Copy !req
316. Yeah,
we have plenty of distractions.Copy !req
317. Check out the intel
I got from the Prince.Copy !req
318. Wow!Copy !req
319. That was a lot
for one download.Copy !req
320. Yeah.
Prince J'emm was very...Copy !req
321. cooperative.Copy !req
322. So on top of
the explosions and M'comm,Copy !req
323. we also need to figure out
who killed the King?Copy !req
324. Not now, you don't.Copy !req
325. We still have
a wedding to plan!Copy !req
326. M'gann M'orzz, Conner Kent,Copy !req
327. this is Sorcerer-Priestess
S'yraa S'mitt.Copy !req
328. She'll be performing today's
Ma'ayava'ana ceremonyCopy !req
329. as well as the wedding.Copy !req
330. It is wonderful
to meet you both.Copy !req
331. Hi.
A pleasure.Copy !req
332. You're, um...Copy !req
333. much younger
than I expected.Copy !req
334. Yes, I only recently
took the Y'ellonn.Copy !req
335. And you're willing to riskCopy !req
336. performing a mixed-species ceremony?Copy !req
337. She asks
because the late K'rii St'ferr,Copy !req
338. the Priest
who performed our ceremonyCopy !req
339. was so old,
he did not fear the...Copy !req
340. inevitable repercussions.Copy !req
341. I didn't know that.Copy !req
342. I believe
you must be the changeCopy !req
343. you wish to see in the world.Copy !req
344. Otherwise,
nothing ever changes at all.Copy !req
345. We're very grateful.Copy !req
346. And couldn't agree more.Copy !req
347. Now. Scheduling.Copy !req
348. We want the wedding
to take place
as soon as possible!Copy !req
349. Not tomorrow.Copy !req
350. Conner, Garfield,
B'arzz O'oomm,Copy !req
351. and I still need time
to build the altar.Copy !req
352. Right, son?Copy !req
353. Uh, right, yeah!Copy !req
354. And M'gann, Em'ree,Copy !req
355. and I must construct
the canopy!Copy !req
356. Oh, joy.Copy !req
357. I would be happy
to help.Copy !req
358. We'd love that,
thank you.Copy !req
359. So... the next day, maybe?Copy !req
360. Unfortunately,Copy !req
361. I must attend the Prince's
birthday celebration that dayCopy !req
362. to help inaugurate
the new Royal Arena.Copy !req
363. Oh, the day after, perhaps?Copy !req
364. Perfect.Copy !req
365. And now,Copy !req
366. the reason we are here today
with this wonderful couple.Copy !req
367. I can sense the love you shareCopy !req
368. vibrating deep within
the psychic plane.Copy !req
369. You must care for each other
very much.Copy !req
370. We do.
So, so much.Copy !req
371. C'eridy'all,
Goddess of Life.Copy !req
372. These happy soulmates,Copy !req
373. M'gann M'orzz and Conner Kent,Copy !req
374. have found one another
and held one another,Copy !req
375. in mind, spirit, and body.Copy !req
376. With all thy power,Copy !req
377. please grant them Ma'ayava'ana.Copy !req
378. The gift of love!Copy !req
379. Frankly, Your Majesty,
it is outrageous.Copy !req
380. The Prince had no authority
to bring Earthers inCopy !req
381. to investigate
the fate of the King.Copy !req
382. You cannot
possibly objectCopy !req
383. to solving my father's murder?Copy !req
384. Of course I want
the mystery solved, my Queen,Copy !req
385. as we need to prove
beyond a doubtCopy !req
386. that an A'ashenn
killed S'turnn J'axx.Copy !req
387. What I object to
is involving Earthers,Copy !req
388. including one
who is marrying an A'ashennCopy !req
389. already contaminated
with Earther ideals.Copy !req
390. Now listen to me...Copy !req
391. This is just anotherCopy !req
392. of the Prince's misguided
modern notions,Copy !req
393. like his ill-conceived
attempt at matrimony.Copy !req
394. My Queen, I must humbly requestCopy !req
395. that you set the boy straight.Copy !req
396. "The boy"
is standing right here.Copy !req
397. A murder on M'arzz
is a rare occurrence,Copy !req
398. as getting away
with such a crimeCopy !req
399. was considered
virtually impossible.Copy !req
400. So it is hardly surprisingCopy !req
401. our M'hontrrs lack experience
in this sort of thing.Copy !req
402. Earthlings,
judging by their television,Copy !req
403. seem to have
a far greater expertise.Copy !req
404. I see no harm
in offering them a chanceCopy !req
405. to bring my family
and our people, peace.Copy !req
406. Well, that set me straight.Copy !req
407. Three more days!Copy !req
408. Just three more days.Copy !req
409. Hey, almost husband.Copy !req
410. - Care to dance?Copy !req
411. You know I don't
usually like being levitated...Copy !req
412. but I'm happy
to make an exception.Copy !req
413. Ten years.Copy !req
414. Think of all that's happened
to get us here.Copy !req
415. How young we were when we met.Copy !req
416. How dorky I was.Copy !req
417. You were beautiful,
inside and out.Copy !req
418. And you've grown more
and more beautiful every day.Copy !req
419. You were so cute back then.Copy !req
420. I always
look the same!Copy !req
421. I can see the change.Copy !req
422. Geez,
get a honeymoon suite.Copy !req
423. This way, guys.Copy !req
424. Okay,
what are you up to?Copy !req
425. Thought we might
check in on Bio-Ship.Copy !req
426. Why?
- You'll see.Copy !req
427. Oh, good.
Another mystery.Copy !req
428. I suppose the trip
has been slightly moreCopy !req
429. eventful than we planned.Copy !req
430. Uh,
aren't all our trips?Copy !req
431. But this
is a good surprise, I promise.Copy !req
432. We're getting awfully close.Copy !req
433. I've put up
a psychic screen.Copy !req
434. They can't see us.Copy !req
435. Oh, that's not good.Copy !req
436. Look out!Copy !req
437. I've got you!Copy !req
438. What the...
Incoming!Copy !req
439. Guys,
I-I sensed... something.Copy !req
440. I need to investigate.
Will you be okay?Copy !req
441. You can't leave now!
The squad's under attack!Copy !req
442. No, it's all right.
We're good. Go.Copy !req
443. I'm clear!Copy !req
444. There was
a psychic-signature, but, ah,Copy !req
445. it's gone now.Copy !req
446. Disappeared as quickly as it appeared.Copy !req
447. A signature?
Of whoever attacked us?Copy !req
448. We all agree
that was an attack, right?Copy !req
449. Nothing on infrared.Copy !req
450. Conner, you're bleeding!Copy !req
451. It's not a big deal.Copy !req
452. How is this even possible?Copy !req
453. We're farther
from the sun, and underground.Copy !req
454. There's not much solar energy
for me to absorb down here,Copy !req
455. and less oxygen
than I'm used to,Copy !req
456. so my cells
aren't fully charged.Copy !req
457. But it's just a little cut.
I promise I'm fine.Copy !req
458. No, you are not fine!Copy !req
459. You could have died!Copy !req
460. That's more
than a little disturbing!Copy !req
461. Also disturbing,Copy !req
462. I think someone
tried to kill us.Copy !req
463. Tinya,
are you all right?Copy !req
464. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
465. It's just,
phasing another personCopy !req
466. really takes a lot out of me.Copy !req
467. Perimeter's clear.Copy !req
468. No sign of the enemy.Copy !req
469. I can't believe
he thought that would work.Copy !req
470. He wasn't
trying to kill anyone.Copy !req
471. He was trying to out us.Copy !req
472. And he succeeded.Copy !req
473. Miss Martian got
a momentary read on me.Copy !req
474. I've put the screens back up,Copy !req
475. but we'll need to keep
our distance from now on.Copy !req
476. If we get too close,
she'll recognize my mind-touch.Copy !req
477. But he'll be back.Copy !req
478. How can we do our job
if we can't stick close?Copy !req
479. I honestly don't know,Copy !req
480. but come on, we need to go.Copy !req
481. Is that it?Copy !req
482. Will it perform as specified?Copy !req
483. Oh, it is. And it will.Copy !req
484. Lord Darkseid
always keeps his word,Copy !req
485. and this is
the Ma'alefa'ak's rewardCopy !req
486. for services rendered
on New Genesis.Copy !req
487. A'ashenns.Copy !req
488. G'arrunns. B'lahdenns.Copy !req
489. Nothing but a single
genetic marker,Copy !req
490. affecting skin color onlyCopy !req
491. separates the Martian races.Copy !req
492. You are all one species.Copy !req
493. Does that trouble you?Copy !req
494. I find
your petty racism veryCopy !req
495. entertaining.Copy !req
496. When it explodes,Copy !req
497. this gene-bomb
will disperse a virusCopy !req
498. that will kill off all
B'lahdenns and G'arrunns.Copy !req
499. Of course,
whether it will affect A'ashennCopy !req
500. of mixed parentage
is anybody's guess.Copy !req
501. I had no such test subjects,Copy !req
502. unfortunately.Copy !req
503. I truly don't care.Copy !req
504. All that matters
is that in two days' time,Copy !req
505. every ma'al G'arrunn
and B'lahdenn on M'arzzCopy !req
506. will be dead.Copy !req
507. Lahb-dee-ehn,
Garfield.Copy !req
508. I know you're on Mars now,Copy !req
509. and I don't know
if you'll get this messageCopy !req
510. before you return.Copy !req
511. But I thought, well...Copy !req
512. I miss you.Copy !req
513. I guess I've been missing you
for a while.Copy !req
514. Since before you left.Copy !req
515. I know you were busy
running the Outsiders.Copy !req
516. And I know how important
that is to you.Copy !req
517. Or, or, no, I mean,
how important it is, period.Copy !req
518. And, I know
I've been busy, as well.Copy !req
519. The refugee crisis,Copy !req
520. all these people
fleeing Markovia,Copy !req
521. flooding into Vlatava.Copy !req
522. And it's so hard to tellCopy !req
523. whether their concerns
are justified.Copy !req
524. I don't know.Copy !req
525. And King Brion
has refused any parlay.Copy !req
526. I wish my father were alive
to handle this.Copy !req
527. I wish he were alive
to give me a hug.Copy !req
528. I wish you were here
to give me a hug.Copy !req
529. Ehs Mee-loo Teh-vee.Copy !req
530. Ehs Meeioo Teh-vee, Garfield.
