1. Well, just great!
Copy !req
2. No, not the presentation. That's terrible.
Some idiotjust hit me.
Copy !req
3. Ugh. Do you realize
how much this is going to cost?
Copy !req
4. Not in money,
which I have plenty of, but in...
Copy !req
5. What the...
Copy !req
6. Get away from me! Get away!
Copy !req
7. Help me. Someone help!
Copy !req
8. Stay away!
Copy !req
9. Ah! What are you doing?
Copy !req
10. - Look out!
- Help me!
Copy !req
11. Wonder Woman! Save me! Save me from them!
Copy !req
12. From whom?
Copy !req
13. Demons. They're everywhere.
Don't you see them?
Copy !req
14. I see only one.
Copy !req
15. STEVEN". I'll ask you one last time!
Copy !req
16. What did you do with my family?
Copy !req
17. Steven, it's me, Gloria! I'm your wife.
Copy !req
18. These are our children.
Copy !req
19. You're not my family!
You killed them, just like the others.
Copy !req
20. Now, it's your turn.
Copy !req
21. No one's dying here tonight.
Copy !req
22. It's not me you should be stopping.
Copy !req
23. It's them. Look at them!
Copy !req
24. Look at them!
Copy !req
25. It's just like the neighbors.
Go to my shed, you'll see I'm right!
Copy !req
26. What have you done?
Copy !req
27. BATMAN". Let me help you.
Copy !req
28. It's not my fault.
Copy !req
29. I've given birth to the devil.
It's the devil!
Copy !req
30. You're tired. Give me the baby.
You don't want to hurt her.
Copy !req
31. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
32. These crimes were committed
by law-abiding citizens.
Copy !req
33. They all claim to have seen
nightmare visions beforehand.
Copy !req
34. Any clue what's causing it?
Copy !req
35. Noidea.
Copy !req
36. The one week I fill in for Jordan,
Copy !req
37. and it couldn't be some hairy-ass monster?
Copy !req
38. The same pattern
is repeating around the world.
Copy !req
39. So, there could be an overriding factor.
Perhaps a paranormal element.
Copy !req
40. Are you talking about magic?
Copy !req
41. We've come up against
magic before, Batman.
Copy !req
42. Xerxes, Trigon, Felix Faust.
Copy !req
43. Even Shazam's powers are based in magic.
Copy !req
44. With as much as you've seen,
can you rule it out?
Copy !req
45. The criminally insane
don't need magic as an excuse.
Copy !req
46. I recommend spending
more time on the streets
Copy !req
47. instead of flying over them.
Copy !req
48. Hmm. He's even friendlier than they say.
Copy !req
49. CONSTANTME'. Bollocks!
Copy !req
50. In what bloody plane of existence
does four of a kind lose?
Copy !req
51. Too, too bad, Constantine.
Copy !req
52. Have you gained weight?
It looks good on you.
Copy !req
53. What say you let your soul mate
play a few hands, Jason?
Copy !req
54. Maybe he'd change my luck.
He'd definitely be less mopey than you.
Copy !req
55. John Constantine,
the man who perfected the bad idea.
Copy !req
56. The only reason I came to this
dung heap of a casino is to find a relic
Copy !req
57. to keep that monster locked away forever.
Copy !req
58. Boys, boys! You're boring me.
Let's play, shall we?
Copy !req
59. My luck's running
as hot as me naughty bits.
Copy !req
60. Oh, but our next group of friends
is due to arrive.
Copy !req
61. So, it's time to bust you out.
Copy !req
62. Copperfield's coming.
Presto changeo!
Copy !req
63. Woman in a box. In a box.
Copy !req
64. Yeah, he's classy, unlike you.
Copy !req
65. Are they implying David Copperfield,
television magician, has true power?
Copy !req
66. Owns a chain of islands and
dated Claudia Schiffer. What do you think?
Copy !req
67. No cards for me, and...
Copy !req
68. Oh, looks like
you can't call my bet, Constantine.
Copy !req
69. By my rules, you lose.
Copy !req
70. I raise.
Copy !req
71. With what?
Your ratty soul ain't worth two bits.
Copy !req
72. Not two bits.
Copy !req
73. I'm betting the House,
the House of Mystery.
Copy !req
74. And since I'm including everything inside,
Copy !req
75. it looks like
you're the one that can't call, Abnegazar.
Copy !req
76. Well, what do you say, boys?
Copy !req
77. I like the action.
Copy !req
78. I call.
Copy !req
79. Really? A chipped Dreamstone?
Copy !req
80. I'm out.
Copy !req
81. Broken knick-knacks
for the House of Mystery and its contents?
Copy !req
82. Are you mad?
Copy !req
83. I've got a working Soul Catcher.
Copy !req
84. That's Ogid's Eye Spiker, eh?
And the Garazi.
Copy !req
85. So, even if that very magical Dreamstone
doesn't work, it's still a big-ass ruby.
Copy !req
86. I'd be a poor sport indeed
if I didn't accept your fair wager.
Copy !req
87. Hell. Now, that's a losing hand
for the ages.
Copy !req
88. Now, read them and...
Copy !req
89. What?
Copy !req
90. Do they have an eye doctor in hell?
I'd make an appointment if I was you.
Copy !req
91. You cheated!
Copy !req
92. Technically, we both cheated.
I just did it better.
Copy !req
93. I'll rip your bloody heart out!
Copy !req
94. Sorry, mate, I'm using that.
Copy !req
95. Situation here, Jason.
It's time to call your better half.
Copy !req
96. Sorry, John, you're on your own.
Copy !req
97. Oi, I'm gonna roast your nuts
and feed 'em to you, Constantine.
Copy !req
98. Gone, gone, the form of man.
Copy !req
99. Arise the demon, Etrigan!
Copy !req
100. Once more with words of metered rhyme,
Copy !req
101. comes Etrigan the Slayerjust in time.
Copy !req
102. Easy now, brother.
We're on the same side, right?
Copy !req
103. Let's use our words.
Copy !req
104. Are you having a laugh?
We're the Demons Three.
Copy !req
105. Kill everyone!
Copy !req
106. You will pay, Constantine.
Copy !req
107. Your soul will be ours.
Copy !req
108. Get in line, you prats.
Copy !req
109. Your ass is grass, Constantine.
Copy !req
110. And we're the lawnmower!
Copy !req
111. Since the battle's fought and won,
Copy !req
112. Jason Blood with me is done.
Copy !req
113. For 500 years, I've been bound to Etrigan,
Copy !req
114. fighting to keep him from coming forth.
Copy !req
115. And you forced me to summon him.
Copy !req
116. Everything got sorted.
Copy !req
117. He could have gone on a killing spree.
Copy !req
118. You don't think.
You don't consider the cost.
Copy !req
119. Yeah, I did.
Copy !req
120. Weighed it against my being eaten alive
and thought, "Yeah, totally worth it."
Copy !req
121. You're a world class bastard, John.
Copy !req
122. And for my finale,
Copy !req
123. I will make this
terrible trio of terrifying Tantors
Copy !req
124. vanish before your eyes!
Copy !req
125. BATMAN". I hope those elephants survived.
Copy !req
126. You don't want PETA on your back.
Copy !req
127. You're assuming they were real
in the first place.
Copy !req
128. How are you, Bruce?
Copy !req
129. I'm fine, Zatanna. Busy.
Copy !req
130. You know where
I can find John Constantine?
Copy !req
131. No.
Copy !req
132. You must have some idea.
Copy !req
133. We don't keep in touch.
Copy !req
134. I know you two have history, so I—
Copy !req
135. Z, Batman needs to talk with John.
Copy !req
136. You've got to come along, too.
It's important.
Copy !req
137. Is that you, Boston?
Copy !req
138. Yeah.
Copy !req
139. Everything is—
Copy !req
140. Boy, this guy's mind is tough.
Copy !req
141. Can't hold...
Copy !req
142. What is going on?
Copy !req
143. I'll tell you on the way to John's.
Copy !req
144. Okay, but I call shotgun.
Copy !req
145. I don't even think
his kid could fit back here.
Copy !req
146. Sorry, Boston, but life is for the living.
Copy !req
147. Boston Brand. He was a circus performer.
Copy !req
148. Batman's heard of me. Sweet.
Tell him I'm a fan of his, too.
Copy !req
149. But, you know, be cool about it.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, that's him.
Copy !req
151. Ask him if he caught one of my shows.
Copy !req
152. He was a trapeze artist
who loved being famous
Copy !req
153. especially with the ladies.
Copy !req
154. Husbands, not so much.
Copy !req
155. You're killing me.
Copy !req
156. He had a knack for irritating
the wrong people.
Copy !req
157. Then, about five years ago,
karma caught up with him.
Copy !req
158. It was a weekend show, full house.
Copy !req
159. Boston was in the middle of
his death-defying act when...
Copy !req
160. He died and that should have been that.
Copy !req
161. But with Boston,
things tend to get complicated.
Copy !req
162. His spirit was called
by the goddess Rama Kushna.
Copy !req
163. She took pity on him and gave him
the power to possess the living,
Copy !req
164. so he could bring his killer
and others to justice.
Copy !req
165. Hey, I don't wanna brag, but I'm good.
Copy !req
166. Why did he feel the need
to write on my walls like a child?
Copy !req
167. Uh, yeah, he's sorry about that.
Copy !req
168. Mmm.
Copy !req
169. Where is this address?
Copy !req
170. GPS doesn't seem
especially useful tonight.
Copy !req
171. It's not an address.
The House of Mystery tends to move around.
Copy !req
172. I didn't put the symbols in there
for the GPS to find it.
Copy !req
173. I wanted the House to come to us.
Copy !req
174. She can't hold it! Do something!
Copy !req
175. There.
Copy !req
176. Into the House!
Copy !req
177. Z, you all right?
Copy !req
178. Yeah, as soon as you get off me.
Copy !req
179. I should have known you were the reason
I'm not back in London enjoying a pint.
Copy !req
180. The House always did like you better.
Copy !req
181. Odd trio for a road trip.
Copy !req
182. To what do I owe the visit?
Copy !req
183. The League thinks that a recent spike in
homicides may have a magical cause.
Copy !req
184. Told you something stinks.
Copy !req
185. Now we know someone
doesn't want us asking questions.
Copy !req
186. Looks like
you've cracked it wide open, mate.
Copy !req
187. - What did he say?
- Uh-uh.
Copy !req
188. I'm not playing telephone between you two.
Copy !req
189. We online?
Copy !req
190. Great. Sorry about the Batmobile.
Copy !req
191. I hope your insurance
was paid up.
Copy !req
192. What, is there even a policy
Copy !req
193. - for something like that?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
194. Hey, I told you not to do that, Orchid.
Use a bloody door.
Copy !req
195. I am glad to see you are well.
Copy !req
196. How new is this one?
Copy !req
197. Not what you think.
Copy !req
198. It's the magic of the House.
Copy !req
199. Decided it wanted to experience
humanity and gave itself a body.
Copy !req
200. it sure did.
Copy !req
201. A spirit whose existence
is not its own, like myself.
Copy !req
202. Interesting.
Copy !req
203. Um,
Copy !req
204. yeah, we are that.
Copy !req
205. Dead smooth you are, mate.
Copy !req
206. Hey, it's been a while, you know?
Copy !req
207. Powerful in true magic. Angry at John.
Copy !req
208. This, I understand.
Copy !req
209. Yet you still have feelings for him.
Copy !req
210. I could kill him.
Copy !req
211. You exude pain.
Copy !req
212. Your life is a patchwork of blackness
with no time forjoy.
Copy !req
213. How do you cope with it?
Copy !req
214. I have a butler.
Copy !req
215. That was enlightening.
Copy !req
216. Well, I guess
we should have that chinwag about now.
Copy !req
217. Demons!
It's not me!
Copy !req
218. I've given birth to the devil. It's the—
Copy !req
219. Rama Kushna says this will
break down the walls between the planes.
Copy !req
220. Even the afterlife will be affected.
Copy !req
221. Yeah, it's dodgy, all right.
I'll look into it.
Copy !req
222. Meanwhile, the House will
drop you wherever you'd like.
Copy !req
223. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Rama says we have to work together.
Copy !req
224. Come on! It's a dream team.
Copy !req
225. You, me, Zatanna, Batman,
maybe even the Justice League.
Copy !req
226. The capes and tights crew,
useless against dark magic.
Copy !req
227. That's why we need you. You can lead us.
Copy !req
228. Boston, do I strike you as a team player?
Much less a team leader.
Copy !req
229. Point is, even deities can get it wrong.
Copy !req
230. It's how we got the appendix,
Neanderthals and Reality TV.
Copy !req
231. Z, your help I could use.
Copy !req
232. Okay, if we do it as a group.
Copy !req
233. This is the monkey cage
in Sumatra all over again.
Copy !req
234. "Ooh, we need to save the monkeys,"
she said.
Copy !req
235. You're such an ass.
Copy !req
236. Oh, not the monkeys.
Copy !req
237. Says the man who has Newcastle
and a 100 other screw-ups on his resume,
Copy !req
238. costing lives and souls.
Copy !req
239. But not monkeys.
You're still way ahead on dead...
Copy !req
240. - They used to be a thing.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
241. You just have to make things—
Copy !req
242. We're wasting time.
Copy !req
243. He's dead and I accept the risks.
Copy !req
244. So, can we get to it,
or do you two need a timeout?
Copy !req
245. Fine and dandy.
Let's take a walk on the dark side then.
Copy !req
246. Coming, team?
Copy !req
247. Stop being a child and slow down.
Where are we going?
Copy !req
248. Ritchie's.
Copy !req
249. Have you talked to him lately?
Copy !req
250. I know he's pissed.
You don't have to remind me, love.
Copy !req
251. It's on my CV, remember?
Copy !req
252. No, really, has he told you...
Copy !req
253. Oh, no. He's dying.
Copy !req
254. John Constantine,
Copy !req
255. purveyor of the dark arts
and lifeline of last resort.
Copy !req
256. No matter.
Your friend's soul will be collected
Copy !req
257. and there's nothing you can do
to alter that.
Copy !req
258. Why don't you go do something useful,
like haunt a house?
Copy !req
259. Who's he talking to now?
Copy !req
260. Shrouds. They deliver souls to hell.
Copy !req
261. They're drawn to you.
Copy !req
262. Maybe it's your cologne, Batsy.
Copy !req
263. This one has cheated us many times.
Copy !req
264. It is vexing.
Copy !req
265. Boo.
Copy !req
266. This has been lovely,
but it's time for you lot to bugger off.
Copy !req
267. When the time comes, I'll be the one
to collect your soul, Constantine.
Copy !req
268. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
269. I thought
I felt a disturbance in the force.
Copy !req
270. How you doing, Johnny boy?
Copy !req
271. Zatanna and Batman?
Copy !req
272. What the hell?
Copy !req
273. Tell you everything inside, mate.
Copy !req
274. You poor thing.
Copy !req
275. Yeah, I may have lied
the last time we talked
Copy !req
276. about exactly how fast
I'm sledding downhill.
Copy !req
277. I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
278. But it means a lot you're here, John.
Copy !req
279. And, hey, you don't have to say it.
You... You're forgiven.
Copy !req
280. Still wondering
what Batman's doing in my living room.
Copy !req
281. And when is he gonna shut up, right?
Copy !req
282. What? What's with the face?
Copy !req
283. You're not here
to say you're sorry, are you?
Copy !req
284. Of course, lam,
Copy !req
285. but I was looking to borrow
the Keshanti Key as well.
Copy !req
286. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
287. I tried to tell him on the way.
Copy !req
288. Yeah, it's not your fault, Z.
Copy !req
289. Just like everything,
this is rock star Johnny's fault.
Copy !req
290. I was with you when it happened, Ritchie.
We were side by side.
Copy !req
291. Yeah, yeah, yeah, side by side.
Copy !req
292. But I got the weird magical cancer
while you, you added to your rep.
Copy !req
293. Isn't that right?
Copy !req
294. Look, me not making proper amends
isn't related to the Key,
Copy !req
295. which, truth be told,
you're not gonna need, mate.
Copy !req
296. John!
Copy !req
297. Getting that a lot lately.
Copy !req
298. You can go screw yourself.
lam not giving you crap!
Copy !req
299. Your anger is understandable,
but you need to reconsider.
Copy !req
300. Innocent lives are at stake.
Copy !req
301. Well, doctors say
an upbeat attitude can help,
Copy !req
302. so what I'll focus on today
is that I met Batman.
Copy !req
303. Force of good.
Copy !req
304. It was also nice seeing you, Zatanna.
Copy !req
305. Now, if you'll excuse me...
Copy !req
306. You can show yourselves out.
Copy !req
307. This him?
Copy !req
308. Father of the year.
Copy !req
309. I'll need the gear now.
Copy !req
310. How does this work?
Copy !req
311. It's basically a magical shortcut.
Copy !req
312. It lets me access
different planes of existence
Copy !req
313. without doing 20-odd hours
of incantations.
Copy !req
314. In this case,
I'll poke around this poor sod's memories
Copy !req
315. to see how his madness began.
Copy !req
316. And more importantly, what caused it.
Copy !req
317. What are you doing here?
I'm calling security.
Copy !req
318. I'll make sure the looky-loos
stay out of our hair.
Copy !req
319. Z, give me a psychic shout
if this body comes under attack.
Copy !req
320. Wouldn't do to be trapped inside, now.
Copy !req
321. Wouldn't do to go in alone,
and since I'm right here...
Copy !req
322. Too dangerous.
You're out of practice, love.
Copy !req
323. Look, you wanted me along. I'm here.
Copy !req
324. I'm not waiting in the wings.
Let's do this.
Copy !req
325. Mmm.
Copy !req
326. Hmm.
Copy !req
327. - Z? You okay?
%GROANS)
Copy !req
328. I'm fine.
Copy !req
329. I've never liked this sort of magic.
Copy !req
330. I can feel darkness seeping inside me.
Copy !req
331. How you stand it is beyond me.
Copy !req
332. It's all about control.
If you ever need a refresher...
Copy !req
333. We've had this conversation.
I haven't changed my mind.
Copy !req
334. Sure, sit out the war
between good and evil.
Copy !req
335. After all, you've got a good thing going
being applauded by mindless twits.
Copy !req
336. Really? Now?
Copy !req
337. Good a time as ever, I reckon.
Copy !req
338. - I'll teach you to talk back.
- No!
Copy !req
339. The magic I perform
brings people happiness.
Copy !req
340. You sure
it's not the two drink minimum, love?
Copy !req
341. You're such a pessimist.
Copy !req
342. Wrong. I expect the worst,
so I prepare for the worst,
Copy !req
343. and when the worst happens, I'm ready.
Copy !req
344. But my outlook doesn't alter
the reality of the world.
Copy !req
345. Steven, stop!
Copy !req
346. Leave me alone!
Copy !req
347. Another precious moment.
Copy !req
348. There was joy, too.
Copy !req
349. His madness swept it away.
Copy !req
350. Who dropped the bed pan?
Copy !req
351. This is it.
This was the morning of his madness.
Copy !req
352. What do you think will set him off?
Copy !req
353. My guess is the Sudoku.
Copy !req
354. He's got two nines in the same row.
Copy !req
355. John.
Copy !req
356. Run! Run! Run!
Copy !req
357. Run! Let's get out of here!
Copy !req
358. Oh, come on, fellow.
Eat a piece of fruit, huh?
Copy !req
359. Damn it!
Copy !req
360. Here it is.
Copy !req
361. We've got to get out of here.
Copy !req
362. One more second.
Copy !req
363. Now, John! There's no time!
Copy !req
364. CONSTANTINEI Got it.
Copy !req
365. Oh! Shit's really hit the fan.
Copy !req
366. You had to go there, Boston.
Copy !req
367. Let's get the hell out of here.
Copy !req
368. Hmm.
Copy !req
369. - I don't recognize it.
- Me, neither.
Copy !req
370. But if there's a person alive who can,
it's Ritchie.
Copy !req
371. Are you forgetting
when you made your friend despise you?
Copy !req
372. This is too bloody important
for hurt feelings.
Copy !req
373. Constantine.
Copy !req
374. Bollocks.
Copy !req
375. You've arrived in time to witness my—
Copy !req
376. Ritchie!
Copy !req
377. Get back, you bastards!
Copy !req
378. John, help Ritchie.
Copy !req
379. Take that! Boom!
Copy !req
380. No pulse.
Copy !req
381. We know! We know! Come on!
Copy !req
382. Why?
Copy !req
383. I see you have
a few tricks of your own, eh?
Copy !req
384. Not everything requires magic.
Copy !req
385. Make sure he sees that
right when he wakes up.
Copy !req
386. If he wakes.
Copy !req
387. We need to talk, you and I,
Copy !req
388. but if you try and summon Etrigan,
Copy !req
389. I'll fill your lungs with bile
before the first verse is done.
Copy !req
390. Savvy?
Copy !req
391. The situation was not how it seemed.
Copy !req
392. The apartment was like that
when I arrived. Richard as well.
Copy !req
393. Come on! You were all over him.
Copy !req
394. I was attempting to help.
Copy !req
395. When you burst in, I knew I'd get blamed,
so I ran.
Copy !req
396. Do you believe him?
Copy !req
397. Jason's not the murdery type.
Copy !req
398. He's chock full of honor, loyalty,
and rubbish of that sort.
Copy !req
399. Then tell us why you were there.
Copy !req
400. Richard is known as a collector
of the arcane and supernatural.
Copy !req
401. I wanted to see if he had something
that could gain me access to this place.
Copy !req
402. Why would you wanna break in here?
Copy !req
403. For this.
Copy !req
404. The single most powerful conduit of evil
in the history of the world.
Copy !req
405. He named it the Dreamstone.
Copy !req
406. But it's really the stuff of nightmares.
Copy !req
407. I was a young knight, green as grass.
Copy !req
408. With visions of battle-won glory
dancing in my head.
Copy !req
409. Needless to say,
these were dispelled thoroughly.
Copy !req
410. He called himself Destiny.
Copy !req
411. But Merlin told us he was
a man of science at one time
Copy !req
412. before he went insane.
Copy !req
413. Destiny forged the Dreamstone
with black magic and his soul.
Copy !req
414. He used it to subject people to
their most terrifying nightmares
Copy !req
415. and then feed off their torment.
Copy !req
416. It was actually the demon Etrigan
who won the day.
Copy !req
417. To battle, Etrigan.
Copy !req
418. Should you succeed,
I will release you of your bond to me.
Copy !req
419. If freedom is what's up for trade,
Copy !req
420. then Destiny's as good as slayed.
Copy !req
421. You haven't won, Merlin. This isn't over.
Copy !req
422. I swear it.
Copy !req
423. Release me, Merlin, from your care.
Copy !req
424. My duty's done. 'Tis only fair.
Copy !req
425. I'm afraid that's not possible,
friend Demon.
Copy !req
426. I apologize to both you and Jason Blood,
Copy !req
427. but your future portends a shared destiny.
Copy !req
428. Caught now, imprisoned in the form of man,
Copy !req
429. I fix the demon, Etrigan.
Copy !req
430. It was also the beginning
of my eternal life sentence with Etrigan.
Copy !req
431. I didn't think you'd give it up willingly.
Copy !req
432. And though this piece is useless
without the other half,
Copy !req
433. it's far from powerless.
Copy !req
434. Safe enough where it is.
Copy !req
435. Displayed like a tourist trinket
in a Karachi bazaar?
Copy !req
436. Neat, isn't it?
Copy !req
437. The House keeps my valuables out of phase,
so they don't go wondering off.
Copy !req
438. But still, the timing of the Stone's
appearance and its power indicates
Copy !req
439. that it's somehow involved
with these crimes.
Copy !req
440. Which is why it stays here,
where only I can get to it.
Copy !req
441. I think me, them,
and everyone else who knows you
Copy !req
442. might want it to be somewhere else.
Copy !req
443. Your friend is awake.
Copy !req
444. Ritchie, who was it? Who did this to you?
Copy !req
445. Faust
Copy !req
446. Felix Faust. You sure?
Copy !req
447. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
448. There you are, you old bastard.
Copy !req
449. I give you wizard and
asshole extraordinaire, Felix Faust.
Copy !req
450. Hell, I should have put it together.
Conjuring a whirlwind is just his style.
Copy !req
451. The League had a run-in with Faust,
Copy !req
452. but his location isn't in our database.
Copy !req
453. Yeah, well, wizards don't make a habit
Copy !req
454. of signing up
for credit cards or social media.
Copy !req
455. His grandly named
Observatory of the Cosmos is hidden
Copy !req
456. from the likes of you and Superman,
but not from me.
Copy !req
457. Felix Faust.
Copy !req
458. What's happening?
Copy !req
459. If this were a computer,
I'd say it's frozen.
Copy !req
460. Cheers.
Copy !req
461. Felix Faust would take precautions
against locator spells.
Copy !req
462. There's another way,
Copy !req
463. but it involves asking a favor of someone
Copy !req
464. that I don't have
the best relationship with.
Copy !req
465. Someone else dislikes you? Shocking.
Copy !req
466. Your friend slips from the mortal plane.
Copy !req
467. John“.
Copy !req
468. Keep him alive and safe. Understand?
Copy !req
469. That is not my purpose.
Copy !req
470. I don't give a flying shag
what you think your bloody purpose is.
Copy !req
471. I order you to help him
any and every way you're able.
Copy !req
472. Let's go.
Copy !req
473. All right, I'll ask.
Copy !req
474. Why are we in the middle
of a godforsaken swamp?
Copy !req
475. It's a favorite hidey hole
of one Alec Holland
Copy !req
476. whose corpse was taken to be
the most recent Avatar of The Green.
Copy !req
477. Bet you won't find that
on your bloody cell phone.
Copy !req
478. Our data's more factual.
Copy !req
479. Alec Holland was murdered by terrorists.
His body was never recovered.
Copy !req
480. End of story.
Copy !req
481. Not quite.
Copy !req
482. Go away!
Copy !req
483. Swamp Thing!
Copy !req
484. I know you're seeing this.
Get out here or the posies get it!
Copy !req
485. John Constantine.
Copy !req
486. You dare threaten The Green.
Copy !req
487. Dude, your social skills are horrendous.
Copy !req
488. Please, we aren't here to harm any plants,
but our need is urgent.
Copy !req
489. Don't let your feelings for John
stop you from doing what's right.
Copy !req
490. You have a garden.
Copy !req
491. Yes, I find it relaxing
and I water it every week.
Copy !req
492. We need to find a man,
a wizard named Felix Faust.
Copy !req
493. A single human among your teeming masses.
Copy !req
494. I only know John Constantine
because he enrages me.
Copy !req
495. Faust lives in an observatory
which is invisible.
Copy !req
496. It's a place where dark magic
would infect the earth below it.
Copy !req
497. I will take you there,
so you are no longer here.
Copy !req
498. The place you seek is there.
Copy !req
499. That place is heavily warded.
Copy !req
500. Mmm.
Copy !req
501. I know we've had our differences,
but we could really use your help.
Copy !req
502. If we don't get a handle on this rotter,
he'll threaten all of humanity.
Copy !req
503. What of it?
Copy !req
504. You were once human, just like me.
Copy !req
505. Nolongen
Copy !req
506. Perhaps his actions are a kind of justice
Copy !req
507. for who destroys more of The Green
than your kind?
Copy !req
508. And Swamp Thing has left the building.
Copy !req
509. Guess we do it the hard way.
Copy !req
510. Or not. Gone, gone, the form of man.
Copy !req
511. Arise the demon Etrigan!
Copy !req
512. What?
Copy !req
513. Who dares?
Copy !req
514. I, Etrigan, bring down this house,
Copy !req
515. and build a tomb for Felix Faust!
Copy !req
516. As if I would stoop to
brawling with a demon.
Copy !req
517. Fight others of your filthy kind.
Copy !req
518. From hell though we may be,
it does not make us family!
Copy !req
519. Do you like what I've done with the place?
Copy !req
520. No woman can speak
in my sanctum sanctorum.
Copy !req
521. I conjured it just for you
and, of course, men everywhere.
Copy !req
522. As a fellow showman,
this is no way to treat your guests.
Copy !req
523. Now, settle down!
Copy !req
524. Stop hitting yourself. Stop
hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.
Copy !req
525. Not everything can be solved
with your peashooter.
Copy !req
526. Just because you're dead, doesn't mean
you're beyond my retribution.
Copy !req
527. Is that it?
Copy !req
528. Well, it's off to the old magicians' home
for you, mate. Pudding night is Thursday.
Copy !req
529. Try that fireball once more, Constantine.
I'd love to see you cook your own goose.
Copy !req
530. Let me—
Copy !req
531. I take it back. That thing is useful.
Copy !req
532. Zatanna, where are you, darling?
Copy !req
533. I know you can't speak,
but give me a wave.
Copy !req
534. You're the only one here
that's really a threat.
Copy !req
535. There you are. This will sting a bit.
Copy !req
536. Stored magic? Really?
It's the TV dinner of spell casting, dear.
Copy !req
537. Here's what real magic looks like.
Copy !req
538. CONSTANTINEI Z!
Copy !req
539. Z, are you daft? Stop!
Copy !req
540. I will kill you, woman!
Copy !req
541. CONSTANTME'. Z, don't!
Copy !req
542. Don't kill him. You can't.
Copy !req
543. Out of my way, John.
Copy !req
544. If no blood is spilled,
your soul is in the clear.
Copy !req
545. Get control, Z, just like I taught you.
Copy !req
546. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. Deep breaths.
Copy !req
547. Let it go, love.
Copy !req
548. Do you see why I can't do what you do?
Copy !req
549. You lost control is all.
Happens to the best of us.
Copy !req
550. You've seen me in action, right?
Copy !req
551. Yeah, once or twice.
Copy !req
552. Why are you here?
Copy !req
553. I haven't done anything
to warrant this kind of response.
Copy !req
554. This yours?
Copy !req
555. I don't know. Maybe.
Copy !req
556. I have several hundred rings
of varying design and properties.
Copy !req
557. It isn't him.
Copy !req
558. Felix Faust isn't the one
behind the nightmare crimes.
Copy !req
559. He summoned our old poker
buddies in their more massive forms.
Copy !req
560. What the hell does it all mean?
Copy !req
561. It means Felix Faust had access
to the artifact whenever he wanted.
Copy !req
562. What artifact?
Copy !req
563. Well, we're back to square one, then.
Copy !req
564. Unfortunately, no. We were sent here
by your friend, remember?
Copy !req
565. But Ritchie's dying.
Copy !req
566. Is he?
Copy !req
567. Boy, oh, boy. I think
I got closer to death than I planned.
Copy !req
568. Ah! Nuh-uh-uh.
Copy !req
569. Bad girl.
Copy !req
570. See, now, you were told to do everything
to help me by the master of the House
Copy !req
571. and that does not include punching.
Copy !req
572. Bring me to the main room.
Copy !req
573. I'll take it
from here, beautiful.
Copy !req
574. But I need you out of my hair for now,
Copy !req
575. so why don't you just
go for a little walk?
Copy !req
576. Yeah! That's the stuff.
Copy !req
577. Why aren't we inside?
Copy !req
578. Because Ritchie's bloody well
taken control of the House.
Copy !req
579. This is what you get for having mates.
Boston, can you get inside?
Copy !req
580. That would be a no.
Copy !req
581. Ritchie, you're gonna listen to me
whether you like it or not.
Copy !req
582. Open the door.
Copy !req
583. Do you hear? Open it!
Copy !req
584. Too late, Johnny Boy.
Copy !req
585. Ritchie, please!
Copy !req
586. Stop while there's still time
to save your soul.
Copy !req
587. Says the man
who skates away from everything.
Copy !req
588. Since you got me infected,
Copy !req
589. I've looked all around the world
for a cure and I've finally found it.
Copy !req
590. A small piece of the Dreamstone.
It's sentient.
Copy !req
591. It told me how to get the Demons Three
to bring the rest of it to Earth.
Copy !req
592. It would've been so easy
to take it from them.
Copy !req
593. Of course, rock star Johnny
screwed everything sideways.
Copy !req
594. So, we had to frame Faust
and get you to bring me here.
Copy !req
595. Now I'm immortal and supercharged!
Copy !req
596. You've been played for a sap.
The Stone isn't sentient.
Copy !req
597. What's left of Destiny's soul
was whispering sweet nothings in your ear,
Copy !req
598. getting you to commit atrocities
to gain power and make his move.
Copy !req
599. You're just pissed 'cause I won.
Copy !req
600. I wish that were the case.
Copy !req
601. This can't be right.
Copy !req
602. No!
Copy !req
603. Wait! Wait! We had a deal!
Copy !req
604. We had a deal!
Copy !req
605. Five hundred years, I've waited.
Copy !req
606. Five hundred years, I've planned.
Copy !req
607. Really? I guess 500 must be the new 300.
Copy !req
608. What say we share your beauty secrets
over a pint, eh?
Copy !req
609. A god does not prattle with mortals.
Copy !req
610. She gonna be okay?
Copy !req
611. I... I don't know.
Copy !req
612. The amount of magic she's used,
sometimes you don't recover.
Copy !req
613. I should have never led her back.
Selfish bastard, I am.
Copy !req
614. BATMAN". You've done what you can for now,
Copy !req
615. but we have to stop Destiny,
or everyone's at risk.
Copy !req
616. He's right.
Copy !req
617. He'll have this city by midnight,
the Eastern Seaboard by dawn.
Copy !req
618. Then, what's to stop him? He'll be a god.
Copy !req
619. We don't need
another one of those mucking about.
Copy !req
620. All right.
Copy !req
621. Get them!
Copy !req
622. They're everywhere! Everywhere!
Copy !req
623. Yes.
Copy !req
624. Yes.
Copy !req
625. My will be done.
Copy !req
626. Fool! How can you hope to defeat a god?
Copy !req
627. Not only can I sense you,
you cannot defeat my shield.
Copy !req
628. Since when does God need a force shield?
Copy !req
629. The Justice League are on their way.
Copy !req
630. Suppose that couldn't be helped,
Copy !req
631. but make sure
they stay well away from Destiny,
Copy !req
632. to not be struck mad,
Copy !req
633. unless you want a bunch of crazed
super blokes ripping apart the city.
Copy !req
634. A little late for that, my friend.
Copy !req
635. John, listen to me.
You've been affected by magic.
Copy !req
636. Get away to space now.
Copy !req
637. Sorry to have to ask this, Jason.
Copy !req
638. At least you're asking.
Copy !req
639. Gone, gone, the form of man.
Copy !req
640. Rise the demon Etrigan!
Copy !req
641. So, Constantine calls once more.
Copy !req
642. Just like a greedy, wanton—
Copy !req
643. Save the bloody rhymes and top that git!
Copy !req
644. Killjoy.
Copy !req
645. I've had many years
to think about you, Etrigan.
Copy !req
646. Call this poetic justice.
Copy !req
647. Holy crap.
Copy !req
648. Looks like you've finally
beat the curse, my boy.
Copy !req
649. Wish it were under happier circumstances.
Copy !req
650. - What are you doing?
- Calling for help.
Copy !req
651. I just hope he doesn't realize
it's me doing the calling.
Copy !req
652. Who dares strike at me?
Copy !req
653. The Defender of The Green, Swamp Thing.
Copy !req
654. Perfect.
Copy !req
655. Glad to see you
back on your feet, Zatanna.
Copy !req
656. Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast!
Copy !req
657. The so-called
Guardian of The Green
Copy !req
658. who secretly hopes to be human again.
Copy !req
659. Let me dispel you of that notion.
Copy !req
660. Back to the dirt
Copy !req
661. where you belong.
Copy !req
662. He's getting more powerful by the second.
What the hell are we gonna do?
Copy !req
663. I say we go and talk to a man
about a horse.
Copy !req
664. Did you hit your head or something?
You're babbling.
Copy !req
665. A Trojan horse, Boston. Come on!
Copy !req
666. Over here, you wanker!
Copy !req
667. You are puny and disrespectful.
Copy !req
668. Let me see your madness.
Copy !req
669. Well, that's the trouble with
someone like me. Been there, done that.
Copy !req
670. I shall make you beg for death.
Copy !req
671. Can I beg you to stop talking?
Copy !req
672. I mean, all wizards are touched but you,
you're a full-blown nutter.
Copy !req
673. I will tear your soul apart.
Copy !req
674. And what happened
to not prattling with mortals, eh?
Copy !req
675. You chatter like my grandma
at a book club.
Copy !req
676. Now, Boston!
Copy !req
677. Trick or treat, freak!
Copy !req
678. Is that a sword in your chest,
or are you just glad to see me?
Copy !req
679. Merlin sends his regards.
Copy !req
680. Oh, and by the way, you lose.
Copy !req
681. I don't think so.
Copy !req
682. Johnny, I was...
Copy !req
683. I was under a compulsion.
You've got to save me.
Copy !req
684. You owe me. You owe me!
Copy !req
685. Sorry, mate. Can't take the chance that
Destiny is still pulling your strings.
Copy !req
686. John, please! Help me!
Copy !req
687. Help me, you bastard!
Copy !req
688. Help me!
Copy !req
689. That was unpleasant.
Copy !req
690. What the hell did I miss?
Copy !req
691. Z, you're okay. I thought—
Copy !req
692. My head feels like
the morning after Brixton.
Copy !req
693. Surely not that bad.
Copy !req
694. So, Merlin's spell hath ended.
Copy !req
695. It would seem so.
Copy !req
696. Though it's a
"good news, bad news" sort of thing.
Copy !req
697. - What's going on?
- Yeah. He wasn't wounded.
Copy !req
698. Unless I miss my guess, that happened
on the day he was bound to Etrigan.
Copy !req
699. And now that I'm not...
Copy !req
700. I'm truly sorry, Jason.
Copy !req
701. Don't be. It's a welcome end.
Copy !req
702. For 500 years,
he and I have been bound.
Copy !req
703. A demon from hell, a knight of renown.
Copy !req
704. Though we were cursed
to be slaves to each other,
Copy !req
705. I know of no man
I'd want more for a brother.
Copy !req
706. Farewell, mortal.
Copy !req
707. You couldn't
have picked a better place.
Copy !req
708. The village
where he was born was over there.
Copy !req
709. Too bad it took this to get him home.
Copy !req
710. Batman asked me
to be in the Justice League.
Copy !req
711. And you're considering it?
Copy !req
712. I visited their headquarters
a few days ago.
Copy !req
713. It's interesting and like you said,
maybe it's time to make a difference.
Copy !req
714. Listening to me now? Uh-oh.
Copy !req
715. They want you, too.
Copy !req
716. Good one, Z. Too right, they do.
Copy !req
717. You have got to be bloody kidding. No way.
Copy !req
718. Batsy would go mental.
Copy !req
719. He was the one who asked
and I told him that's what you'd say.
Copy !req
720. Be safe, John.
Copy !req
721. Now, hold on. Hold on.
Copy !req
722. Maybe I've been a bit rash.
Could you tell me more over a drink?
Copy !req
723. We could rechristen the House as it were.
Copy !req
724. A drink?
Copy !req
725. Yeah, a drink.
Copy !req
726. Don't think this is gonna turn into some
sort of Manchester weekend.
Copy !req
727. Get that out of your head.
Copy !req
728. We could have a Trewhiddle Tuesday.
Copy !req
729. No, definitely not.
Copy !req
730. Well, let's mark that as a maybe.
Copy !req
731. Now, that's what I call
making yourself useful, love.
Copy !req
732. English SDH
Copy !req
