1. Only made
it worse...
Copy !req
2. More hunted now
than ever...
Copy !req
3. Nowhere is safe...
Copy !req
4. Are we
still Ma'alefa'ak?
Copy !req
5. Hear me,
brothers and sisters.
Copy !req
6. Yes, our gene bomb failed.
Copy !req
7. But the terror we spread
among the G'arrunns
and B'lahdenns is a victory.
Copy !req
8. And soon enough, the jaws
of the Ma'alefa'ak
will close upon their throats—
Copy !req
9. How? Why?
Copy !req
10. The G'arrunns and B'lahdenns
reap what they've sown,
sister.
Copy !req
11. They are lucky
to have survived.
Copy !req
12. Not the G'arrunns, Conner!
Copy !req
13. This rage is for him?
For a mere earther?
Copy !req
14. Don't pretend you don't know
what he was.
Copy !req
15. You used Kryptonite
to kill him.
Copy !req
16. I don't even know
what Kryptonite is.
Copy !req
17. Liar.
Copy !req
18. Read my thoughts.
M'gann, I am not lying.
Copy !req
19. You're not lying.
Copy !req
20. He was telling the truth,
Copy !req
21. But now...
Copy !req
22. Who do I blame?
Copy !req
23. Who do I blame?
Copy !req
24. In olden times
there was a barbaric king
in a barbaric kingdom.
Copy !req
25. He had a daughter he loved,
and absolute power
Copy !req
26. over everyone he ruled,
including her.
Copy !req
27. When I ran from my father,
Copy !req
28. I swear, I never meant
for any of this to happen.
Copy !req
29. As soon as we reach
Santa Prisca,
you must trade me for Orphan.
Copy !req
30. That's not how we do things.
Copy !req
31. You are coming to help me.
rescue Orphan.
Copy !req
32. - I know but—
- You wanna be free
of the Shadows?
Copy !req
33. First, stop thinking like one.
Copy !req
34. My team does not leave
anyone behind.
Copy !req
35. You made the offer
knowing she'd turn you down.
Copy !req
36. And you attack my integrity
knowing it will sabotage
my chances with Tigress.
Copy !req
37. Cut it out, both of you!
Copy !req
38. We all have to work together
to get Orphan back.
Copy !req
39. A fine sentiment,
but the facts don't back it up.
Copy !req
40. The lead computer
in Green Arrow's vault
was breached.
Copy !req
41. One of those two has the data
and is using you to carry it
to the Shadows
Copy !req
42. You're riding with
at least one traitor.
Copy !req
43. Bruce, Dick, Tim, Kate
and Stephanie are cowl deep
Copy !req
44. - in a Penguin/
- Two-Face turf war.
Copy !req
45. But Orphan's one of us.
And after Jason...
Copy !req
46. Well, say the word and you'll
have the entire Bat family
Copy !req
47. en route to Santa Prisca.
Copy !req
48. Okay, but you better be right.
Copy !req
49. We have to get Orphan back.
Copy !req
50. Good to have you home.
Copy !req
51. My daughter.
Copy !req
52. I am very disappointed in you,
and not a little perplexed.
Copy !req
53. You were never just a Shadow
in training, not to me.
Copy !req
54. I molded you
into the perfect assassin,
Copy !req
55. shaped you to reach a potential
beyond even my grasp.
Copy !req
56. And I sent you
on a simple mission.
Child's play for you.
Copy !req
57. And not only did you fail,
you turned against us.
Copy !req
58. Against me.
Copy !req
59. To cower in the embrace
of the enemy.
Copy !req
60. You were the silent blade.
Copy !req
61. The soul of Shadow.
Copy !req
62. Death made flesh.
Copy !req
63. You are ready.
Copy !req
64. Your first target
was once considered
a useful asset to the Light.
Copy !req
65. But no longer. He sent
Vandal Savage this recording.
Copy !req
66. The League has accounted
for all known Kryptonite
on Earth
Copy !req
67. and in the Milky Way galaxy.
None is missing.
Copy !req
68. Which does not mean
there was not more out there
to be found.
Copy !req
69. True, but it does mean
we're out of leads.
Copy !req
70. I'm sorry, J'onn. Believe me.
Copy !req
71. As am I, Shayera.
Copy !req
72. Signing off.
Copy !req
73. The barbarian king
had won his crown in battle.
Copy !req
74. He would hold it
through subtler means.
Copy !req
75. He had his own rules,
his own laws.
Copy !req
76. And when
any of these were broken,
Copy !req
77. he had his own ideas
of justice.
Copy !req
78. If a man defied the laws
of the king,
Copy !req
79. he was taken to a huge arena,
in order to decide
his own fate.
Copy !req
80. There he faced
two identical doors.
Copy !req
81. Behind one, a ravenous tiger
that would destroy him
on sight.
Copy !req
82. Behind the other, a lovely lady
who would immediately
marry him.
Copy !req
83. Chance and his choosing
would be his judge and jury.
Copy !req
84. It came to pass
that the king's daughter
Copy !req
85. fell in love
with a handsome commoner.
Copy !req
86. This was forbidden.
Copy !req
87. So the young man found himself
facing the two doors.
Copy !req
88. The princess learned which door
held the slavering tiger,
Copy !req
89. and which the simpering maid.
Copy !req
90. - But would the princess
save her man?
Copy !req
91. For she was
as jealous of the man
as she was in love with him.
Copy !req
92. When she secretly
pointed to the door
her lover should choose,
Copy !req
93. he trusted her and opened it.
Copy !req
94. But which option did
the princess choose
for her man?
Copy !req
95. The lady or the tiger?
Copy !req
96. I know
you saw that last Shadow.
Copy !req
97. So were you testing them?
Copy !req
98. When these three don't call in,
Shiva will know we're here
Copy !req
99. and that we made her deadline.
Copy !req
100. Not what she had in mind
Copy !req
101. Yet it's what she'd expect.
Copy !req
102. She'll honor the deal.
Copy !req
103. Orphan is safe for now.
Copy !req
104. But we're on the wrong side
of the island.
Copy !req
105. It'll be light before we get
where we're going.
Copy !req
106. Then we'll find a rabbit hole
to wait out the day.
Copy !req
107. You better know
what you're doing.
Copy !req
108. - Take point.
Roger that.
Copy !req
109. Both of us?
Why not?
Copy !req
110. Now you're getting the idea.
Copy !req
111. For each door
holds both results
Copy !req
112. right up until the moment
it's opened.
Copy !req
113. Section 16 has gone dark.
Copy !req
114. Either you changed
the corporate vacation policy,
Copy !req
115. or our guests are here.
Copy !req
116. Which means
the League's data's here
as well.
Copy !req
117. Tigress will take her time,
I imagine. Still...
Copy !req
118. Shade, bring the vessel.
Copy !req
119. Time to hunt?
Copy !req
120. There's no point.
Our quarry will come to us
Copy !req
121. to trade one Cassandra
for another.
Copy !req
122. Of course,
they'll try to keep both.
Copy !req
123. And of course,
we will allow them
to keep neither.
Copy !req
124. I see that look in your eyes.
Copy !req
125. Yes, the Light has long coveted
the Justice League's
intelligence.
Copy !req
126. But make no mistake,
I was there for you.
Copy !req
127. I wanted to give my Cassandra
Copy !req
128. a second chance
to fulfill her destiny.
Copy !req
129. Hey there, Mr. Savage.
Copy !req
130. Sorry to call so late.
Eight years late.
Copy !req
131. But I only just heard it
through the grapevine. See?
Copy !req
132. Have to admit this revelation
has somewhat poisoned
Copy !req
133. my relationship
with you and yours.
Copy !req
134. Which, come to think of it,
might be exactly why
little Miss Poison Ivy,
Copy !req
135. spilled the beans.
Copy !req
136. Or whatever grows
on grapevines.
Copy !req
137. I'm not a horticulturist,
you know,
Copy !req
138. just a simple, fun loving fiend
Copy !req
139. apparently undeserving
of your full respect.
Copy !req
140. For I'm told,
the Injustice League
Copy !req
141. was nothing but a ruse,
a puppet show.
Copy !req
142. Wax fruit.
Copy !req
143. Something to keep the high
and mighty Light
in the shadows.
Copy !req
144. And I'm the only one
Copy !req
145. who didn't know.
Copy !req
146. I mean, Riddler knew?
Copy !req
147. Riddler!
Copy !req
148. Oh. Good versus bad.
Copy !req
149. Bad versus good.
Copy !req
150. And your old pal Joker
caught in the crossfire
Copy !req
151. of all your senseless violence.
Copy !req
152. And that's
the worst sin of all.
Copy !req
153. Because senseless violence
is my gag.
Copy !req
154. You stole my punchline, Vandy.
Copy !req
155. Made me,
me the butt of your joke.
Copy !req
156. But not to worry.
Copy !req
157. I've got a new routine
Copy !req
158. sure to entertain
the good guys and the bad.
Copy !req
159. I'm telling you, Vandy,
I think this act
Copy !req
160. will just slay.
Copy !req
161. And since apparently
you're all such big
Riddler fans,
Copy !req
162. here's a page
out of his feeble book.
Copy !req
163. My revenge will be untimely,
Copy !req
164. uncomfortable, and unfortunate.
Copy !req
165. Un. Get it, huh? U.N.
Copy !req
166. Ain't it grand
how the fear of death
Copy !req
167. and Joker venom
brings every nation together?
Copy !req
168. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Copy !req
169. But take note, Mr. Secretary.
Copy !req
170. You and your ambassadorks
are not my hostages.
Copy !req
171. No, sir.
Copy !req
172. You're my victims.
Copy !req
173. Courtesy of our dear ex-pal,
Vandal Q. Savage.
Copy !req
174. The Q stands for killjoy.
Copy !req
175. You see, Lexie,
this is about respect.
Copy !req
176. And who needs respect
more than a poor clown?
Copy !req
177. A clown who's dedicated
his life
Copy !req
178. to bringing a little sunshine
generating a few big,
Copy !req
179. stinking grins onto the faces
of the masses.
Copy !req
180. Until they choke
on those smiles and die!
Copy !req
181. Well, horse puckies.
Copy !req
182. Eh?
Copy !req
183. The Bat's right behind me,
isn't he?
Copy !req
184. I object!
Copy !req
185. Turning on infrared.
Copy !req
186. No arguments,
no noise.
Copy !req
187. We don't want Shadows
pinning down
our current location.
Copy !req
188. We don't wanna fight
until we're ready.
Copy !req
189. Please don't drag this out.
You have to get her back.
Copy !req
190. She's like a sister to me.
Copy !req
191. I know you know
how that feels.
Copy !req
192. Mad as a hatter not to,
I hope.
Copy !req
193. What was that?
Copy !req
194. Nothing. Another hour
and it'll be dark.
Copy !req
195. Then, we move.
Copy !req
196. - Stay whelmed.
Whelmed?
Copy !req
197. - Keep moving.
- No need. We're here.
Copy !req
198. Not a Shadow in sight.
Couldn't be more inviting
Copy !req
199. - if they hung
a free cookie sign.
We can't just walk in.
Copy !req
200. It always comes down
to choosing the right door.
Copy !req
201. You should stay here
with your family.
Copy !req
202. I have responsibilities
back home.
Copy !req
203. Good bye, Mom.
Copy !req
204. Good bye, Dad.
Copy !req
205. You don't ever plan
to return here, do you?
Copy !req
206. I'm not planning anything.
Copy !req
207. They're going
to see us coming.
Copy !req
208. Not if we blind them.
Copy !req
209. Three, two, one and...
Copy !req
210. - What?
- How?
Copy !req
211. Please. You two aren't
the only ones with secrets.
Copy !req
212. It's done.
Main and backup generators
are down.
Copy !req
213. They'll have
emergency power only.
No sensors, no alarms.
Copy !req
214. Come on, we're going in.
Copy !req
215. I'd lay odds they're holding
Orphan in cellblock A.
Copy !req
216. It's not much farther.
Copy !req
217. Then this is as far as you go.
Copy !req
218. Wait.
Copy !req
219. I want to go with you.
Copy !req
220. Learn about you
and your adopted world.
Copy !req
221. Give us a chance
to become real sisters.
Copy !req
222. You don't mind,
do you, Uncle J'onn?
Copy !req
223. You are welcome
to join us, Em'ree.
Copy !req
224. M'gann?
Copy !req
225. If you want.
Copy !req
226. Baby, all is ready.
Copy !req
227. I fear we have lost them both,
my love.
Copy !req
228. Tigress, I know
you don't believe me
but I'm sure she's a plant.
Copy !req
229. We can't let her
go any farther.
Copy !req
230. It's alright, Onyx.
Copy !req
231. I've gone as far as I need to.
Copy !req
232. A Glamour Charm.
Copy !req
233. Be flattered, Tigress.
We had the idea from you.
Copy !req
234. Infiltrators.
Copy !req
235. I'll be... Oh, thank God,
I found you.
Copy !req
236. No!
Copy !req
237. I've got you.
Copy !req
238. I've got you.
Copy !req
239. Nightwing to A33.
We need a medivac, stat!
Copy !req
240. Hold on, please, hold on.
Copy !req
241. I wasn't trying
to save Joker.
Copy !req
242. I was trying to save you.
Copy !req
243. It's okay.
I'm here to get you out.
Copy !req
244. And I suppose
that thing processes
the infiltrator's intel.
Copy !req
245. I'm on my way.
Copy !req
246. I'll be back, I promise.
Copy !req
247. I missed using that arm.
Copy !req
248. Analyzing.
Copy !req
249. Sonic pulse has successfully
disrupted all infiltrators.
Copy !req
250. Data theft averted.
Copy !req
251. Can I just say I told you so?
Copy !req
252. Noted, though this doesn't mean
you're not a mole, too.
Copy !req
253. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
254. Hey, focus! Orphan's waiting.
Copy !req
255. Which way to cell block A?
Copy !req
256. You won't survive long enough
to find out.
Copy !req
257. An empty threat.
It's two against one.
Copy !req
258. Make that four against two.
Copy !req
259. Odds are evening.
Copy !req
260. Follow the leader.
Copy !req
261. Cell block's this way.
Copy !req
262. - I knew you'd come.
- Really? No doubts at all.
Copy !req
263. None I'll admit to.
Copy !req
264. Spoken like a true Crock,
Copy !req
265. - of sh—
- We're here!
Copy !req
266. We need
to hurry this up.
Copy !req
267. Hang on, Orphan.
We'll get you out.
Copy !req
268. Hold that thought.
Copy !req
269. The boss may have other ideas.
Copy !req
270. Just to surrender or die.
Copy !req
271. For each door
holds both results
Copy !req
272. right up until the moment
it's opened.
Copy !req
273. Her decision had been
indicated in an instant,
Copy !req
274. but it had been made
Copy !req
275. after days and nights
of anguished deliberation.
Copy !req
276. She had known,
she would be asked.
Copy !req
277. She had decided
what she would answer,
Copy !req
278. and without
the slightest hesitation,
Copy !req
279. she had moved her hand
to the right.
Copy !req
280. The question of her decision
Copy !req
281. is one not to be
lightly considered,
Copy !req
282. and it is not for me
to presume to set myself up
Copy !req
283. as the one person
able to answer it.
Copy !req
284. And so I leave it
with all of you.
Copy !req
285. Which came out
of the open door?
Copy !req
286. The lady, or the tiger?
Copy !req
287. Frank R. Stockton,
The Lady, Or The Tiger?
Copy !req
