1. The community is outraged
that convicted criminal Dr. Light...Copy !req
2. has escaped incarceration again,
embarking on a deadly spree.Copy !req
3. Tensions between Bialya
and Pokolistan reached new heights...Copy !req
4. when Bialya
disregarded U.N. sanctions...Copy !req
5. and pushed into settlements
across the border.Copy !req
6. Three strikes?
This is the law, not baseball.Copy !req
7. If a man commits a felony, he should
be expunged from civilized society.Copy !req
8. Victims' families are still asking how
such a tragedy could have taken place.Copy !req
9. Luckily, Superman arrived in
time to avert the terror attack.Copy !req
10. - Military deaths in Middle East...
- Polls show...Copy !req
11. more often afraid than not.Copy !req
12. - Where are our so called heroes?
- Sources describe the woman as kind.Copy !req
13. - when nations are not held
accountable for their actions...Copy !req
14. Time to take your medicine, love.Copy !req
15. - Easy as pie, didn't I tell you?
- I like pie.Copy !req
16. You're about to go on a diet.Copy !req
17. Superman! Blast him!Copy !req
18. - Oh, oh! Oh, oh!
- Why don't you two cool off?Copy !req
19. - Caught a couple of big fish, Superman.
- And without a net.Copy !req
20. Back to the tank with you two.
Up, up and away.Copy !req
21. Maybe this time they'll learn
that crime doesn't pay.Copy !req
22. Wow, okay. Ha-ha. That's, uh... Wow.Copy !req
23. It never occurred to me
that the S stood for "silly."Copy !req
24. It wasn't that bad.Copy !req
25. When have you ever said
"crime doesn't pay"?Copy !req
26. Well, you can take
the kid out of the cornfield...Copy !req
27. Producer said it would be inspirational.Copy !req
28. And who's profiting
from all this so-called inspiration?Copy !req
29. Proceeds from the cartoon
go to charity, Lois.Copy !req
30. Yes, I've got someone watching.Copy !req
31. And yes, we have an iron-clad contract.Copy !req
32. And do you get creative input?Copy !req
33. Did I mention it all goes to charity?Copy !req
34. Point is, you have to protect your S.Copy !req
35. The world is always watching Superman.Copy !req
36. Well, not always.Copy !req
37. Oh. Smooth one, farm boy.Copy !req
38. So close.Copy !req
39. - Help me!
- My God.Copy !req
40. - The Atomic Skull.
- Get somewhere safe.Copy !req
41. You've gone too far this time, Skull.Copy !req
42. They were just lawyers.
Come closer and we'll talk about it.Copy !req
43. You've gotten bigger.Copy !req
44. That genebomb that created me...Copy !req
45. it's still going off.Copy !req
46. Let go!Copy !req
47. - Cute.
- Why did you attack those people?Copy !req
48. To draw out the main course, of course.Copy !req
49. - You used them for bait?
- Give me a break.Copy !req
50. I do what I do, you do what you do.Copy !req
51. You'll have your front page
in 15 minutes, chief.Copy !req
52. Yes, I'll spell-check.Copy !req
53. Okay, beat it.Copy !req
54. Whoa.Copy !req
55. Here we are, lads and lassie.Copy !req
56. Makes the old hometown
look positively quaint.Copy !req
57. Mm. Makes me thirsty.Copy !req
58. They grow them big here,
but not as big as Blue Boy.Copy !req
59. Keep your pants on, Pammy.Copy !req
60. We don't need you
getting all beasty now.Copy !req
61. - Where do you think he is?
- I'll find him.Copy !req
62. Just stay tight.
First impressions, you know.Copy !req
63. - He don't like you.
- I don't like him.Copy !req
64. So was this justice, Superman?Copy !req
65. Millions in property damage...Copy !req
66. helpless bystanders killed
by a repeat metahuman felon...Copy !req
67. who's now enjoying three square meals
a day as a guest of the state.Copy !req
68. You had the power to end Atomic Skull's
criminal career right there permanently.Copy !req
69. Why didn't you?Copy !req
70. I'm not anyone's judge and jury,
Professor Baxter.Copy !req
71. Definitely not an executioner.Copy !req
72. My powers don't put me above the law.Copy !req
73. A noble sentiment. But are you the
Superman that the 21st century needs?Copy !req
74. Why not use your power
to fix the world?Copy !req
75. Let me reiterate that
I'm playing devil's advocate.Copy !req
76. I'm a huge fan.Copy !req
77. - Not embarrassing at all.
- Your dad?Copy !req
78. Could do worse.Copy !req
79. First, I don't believe
that the world is broken.Copy !req
80. Because when we say the world,
we're really talking about people.Copy !req
81. And it's always been my belief
that people at their core are good.Copy !req
82. - Ha.
- The grace of mankind is everywhere.Copy !req
83. You just have to open your eyes.Copy !req
84. Humanity has a limitless
potential for good.Copy !req
85. My purpose is to help people
reach that potential.Copy !req
86. Tamarev. Tamarev is under attack.Copy !req
87. What have you people done?Copy !req
88. How dare you?
Pokolistan holds to the treaty.Copy !req
89. Liar. My people are dying in the streets.Copy !req
90. No less than they deserve.Copy !req
91. Limitless potential for good?Copy !req
92. Good isn't perfect. I have to go.Copy !req
93. To be continued, professor?Copy !req
94. This is an act of war.Copy !req
95. Not while you press our borders.Copy !req
96. Reports are streaming in from Tamarev...Copy !req
97. capital of the Eastern Bloc
nation of Bialya.Copy !req
98. We're trying to get someone on the ground,
but as we've been reporting for weeks...Copy !req
99. diplomatic efforts between Bialya
and neighboring Pokolistan have collapsed.Copy !req
100. Both countries have access
to considerable technology.Copy !req
101. Weapons of mass destruction
could come into play.Copy !req
102. The U.N. has tried to intervene...Copy !req
103. Wait, I'm sorry, we're getting something.Copy !req
104. Oh, God. We've heard rumors about
Pokolistan's bio-weapons program.Copy !req
105. But this.Copy !req
106. - One of yours?
- No.Copy !req
107. Oi. You in the cape.Copy !req
108. The bastard doesn't have a brain or I'd have
had him rip his own guts out already.Copy !req
109. He's still alive, so if you don't mind
setting aside the kid gloves...Copy !req
110. - Come back from that.
- Nice one, brother.Copy !req
111. But you could use a smidge more flair.Copy !req
112. Okay.Copy !req
113. Flair, mon frére.Copy !req
114. Who's a good sorcerer?Copy !req
115. Double pork fried rice for you tonight.Copy !req
116. You sure know how to make an entrance.Copy !req
117. Thanks for the assist. Next time,
double-check for collateral damage.Copy !req
118. Came a little close there.Copy !req
119. - Hello.
- You're really tall.Copy !req
120. Don't mind them, Mr. Superman, sir.Copy !req
121. Big fans. Paralytic with giddiness.Copy !req
122. So before anyone
does anything embarrassing: Ta.Copy !req
123. Wait. Who are y...?Copy !req
124. - Where did they come from?
- Where did they go?Copy !req
125. What do they want?
What's all over that woman's body?Copy !req
126. These four are the biggest news
since Brainiac ate Boston.Copy !req
127. Someone's gonna break this story
and it better be us.Copy !req
128. It's a given that I am getting
the scoop on these newbies, right?Copy !req
129. Not unless you can type
5000 words a minute.Copy !req
130. Do not make me unleash
my feminine wiles on you, Clark Kent.Copy !req
131. Too late.Copy !req
132. For someone who plays fair,
you can really suck sometimes.Copy !req
133. "Telekinetic."Copy !req
134. "Conjured a dragon out of thin air."Copy !req
135. Outstanding, Kent.Copy !req
136. - Been on the phone with your source?
- Tweeting, actually, sir.Copy !req
137. Take point on this.
Book a flight wherever you need to go.Copy !req
138. Take Lane if she's still talking to you.Copy !req
139. Hope you like cold showers, Smallville.Copy !req
140. You spoke to Superman?Copy !req
141. What did he say?
Are these guys the real deal or what?Copy !req
142. The jury's still out, Jimmy.
He said they're strong.Copy !req
143. Really strong.
But there's something about them.Copy !req
144. Looks like they did
a pretty good job to me.Copy !req
145. If you boys are done gossiping,
some lady in England...Copy !req
146. just went online claiming to know
all about Superman's new best friends.Copy !req
147. - Sorry there's no movie.
- Don't try to be cute.Copy !req
148. You're lucky I'm letting you fly me there.Copy !req
149. Once we hit the ground,
it's every reporter for herself.Copy !req
150. Unless I get something really juicy.Copy !req
151. Ah. Learning.Copy !req
152. I practically raised the lad.Copy !req
153. He played football in me garden
and teased me cats, the rascal. Ha-ha.Copy !req
154. But a big heart, oh, a big heart.Copy !req
155. Always helped come harvest.Copy !req
156. What's his name, Mrs. Munsch?Copy !req
157. It's not for me to say, is it?Copy !req
158. Unless you're willing to pay
for the exclusive.Copy !req
159. If she knows anything,
I'm the Martian Manhunter.Copy !req
160. There go all of my fantasies.Copy !req
161. I'm gonna go knock down some doors.
Call me if you get anything.Copy !req
162. - You too.
- We'll see.Copy !req
163. I'll tell it all. How he saved
Churchill from that nasty Doberman.Copy !req
164. With just his brain.Copy !req
165. Quite the looker.Copy !req
166. Your reporter friend.
I'm not into the golden oldies.Copy !req
167. Subspace teleport pods.
All the cool HQs have them.Copy !req
168. So are you stalking me
or are you here for the scenery?Copy !req
169. You never gave me your cell.
Had to start somewhere.Copy !req
170. Quite the detective. Following the guy...Copy !req
171. with the Union Jack
tatted to his chest to England? Heh.Copy !req
172. Come on, I'm just breaking
your boots, Superman.Copy !req
173. Truth is I ramble when I get nervous...Copy !req
174. and I'm in a bit of a twist
having a jaw with Superman. Ha.Copy !req
175. - Let's start with your name.
- Manchester Black.Copy !req
176. Aspiring do-gooder and all-around
pain in the ass at your service.Copy !req
177. You wanna talk? Let's talk.Copy !req
178. Just not here.
Never could stand the smell of the place.Copy !req
179. Feeding time.Copy !req
180. Hey, some parsnips and carrots.Copy !req
181. Good for the skin.Copy !req
182. - This is inhuman.
- Just think what a service you're providing...Copy !req
183. having all your energy
sucked into the city's electronic grid.Copy !req
184. It's almost like
you cooked your own supper.Copy !req
185. Incoming. It's the big guy.Copy !req
186. Hello, again.Copy !req
187. Come on, you lot. He doesn't bite.Copy !req
188. That's a pity.Copy !req
189. Big fella goes by Coldcast.Copy !req
190. The Hat's our resident master
of hocus-pocus...Copy !req
191. and fortune cookie wordsmith.Copy !req
192. Your lucky numbers are four, eight, 15...Copy !req
193. - and...
- I'm Menagerie, but you can call me Pam.Copy !req
194. At this number. Anytime.Copy !req
195. Down, girl.Copy !req
196. Good to meet you all. Thank you again for
what you did in Bialya, but we need to talk.Copy !req
197. Of course. Someone comes sniffing
around your tomato...Copy !req
198. so to speak, you need to get a look-see.
Due diligence.Copy !req
199. We're an open book.
So if you'll just relax...Copy !req
200. Sorry. I heard your
telepathic shout before.Copy !req
201. But my mind is protected from anything
deeper by a series of psychic blocks.Copy !req
202. Best I've seen too.Copy !req
203. Got a few skeletons rattling around
up there you don't want out?Copy !req
204. I'm not looking for your deepest, darkest.
Showing is faster than telling.Copy !req
205. I hate to hear me own voice,
believe it or not.Copy !req
206. Don't believe him.
Only thing shuts him up is a soccer game.Copy !req
207. Football, you uneducated Yank.Copy !req
208. This is low-level stuff, Supes.
Promise. Like telly in HD.Copy !req
209. - All right.
- Apologies in advance...Copy !req
210. for the graphic nature
of what you're about to see.Copy !req
211. Some of us had it rough
in the origin department.Copy !req
212. I'm off, then. See you at dinner.Copy !req
213. Lucky I give you a roof and a pillow,
you worthless squib.Copy !req
214. You want something to eat?
Work it out for yourself.Copy !req
215. Take the girl with you.Copy !req
216. Can't stand her mewling.Copy !req
217. It's a Cinderella story, really.Copy !req
218. I was the unplanned fifth
of five boys...Copy !req
219. left to fend for meself after me mum died
giving birth to number six.Copy !req
220. The only girl. Vera.Copy !req
221. Ooh. What's wrong, love?Copy !req
222. I lost my mum!Copy !req
223. Oh, don't fret, dear.
We'll find your mum.Copy !req
224. The only good thing I had.Copy !req
225. Brothers had all gone off
and wound up dead or in jail...Copy !req
226. where they wound up dead anyway.Copy !req
227. But Vera, she was special.Copy !req
228. Did what I could to protect her.Copy !req
229. But really, she was always
taking care of me, till that summer.Copy !req
230. Plenty of loose wallets in Heaton Park.Copy !req
231. Not proud of it, but hungry is hungry.Copy !req
232. - Good day! Let's get ice cream before...
- Aah!Copy !req
233. Thought it was puberty,
you know. Headaches.Copy !req
234. The feeling that my body
was turning against me.Copy !req
235. But it was getting worse by the week.Copy !req
236. But that day...Copy !req
237. There's one of them.Copy !req
238. I couldn't stand. Couldn't run.Copy !req
239. A damn cripple. If it wasn't for Vera...Copy !req
240. Sod off, copper.Copy !req
241. No!Copy !req
242. Vera!Copy !req
243. It was a frigging horror show.
Me, on my knees. Vera screaming.Copy !req
244. And I was helpless,
praying for it all to stop.Copy !req
245. Imagine my shock when it did.Copy !req
246. Goodbye, headaches. Hello, power.Copy !req
247. After that it's the usual fish tale.Copy !req
248. Her Majesty's secret service took notice,
gave me a bed...Copy !req
249. and taught me about hurting
bad people in the name of freedom.Copy !req
250. Met this lot during a particularly
disenfranchising tour in Africa...Copy !req
251. and we decided to make a go of it
freelance, like yourself.Copy !req
252. The rest is current events.Copy !req
253. Your sister, did she make it?Copy !req
254. We don't all get happy endings, Superm...
Aah!Copy !req
255. Chester!Copy !req
256. - What's wrong?
- Screams. Lots of screams.Copy !req
257. Smoke and electrical discharge
in both tubes. Evac all trains.Copy !req
258. Not an accident.
this is an attack.Copy !req
259. They've hit us on the east end too.
Both ends of the Chunnel are sealed off.Copy !req
260. - This is not right.
- This should not be happening.Copy !req
261. Sweet heavenly father.Copy !req
262. - Captain.
- Oh, thank God.Copy !req
263. We have simultaneous attacks
at both openings.Copy !req
264. The trains are trapped inside,
filled to capacity.Copy !req
265. Flooding has begun to...Copy !req
266. Melt the blockage to slag
and drag the lorries out.Copy !req
267. No time. The superstructure
has been compromised.Copy !req
268. Collapse is imminent.Copy !req
269. Can you teleport the passengers?Copy !req
270. Teleport pod's back home, mate.Copy !req
271. We're great kicking the snot
out of wankers, but this...Copy !req
272. This is a test of your imagination.
How strong are you?Copy !req
273. - This for real, Ches?
- Real as it gets.Copy !req
274. You got the power he needs?Copy !req
275. Don't... Just don't ask.Copy !req
276. Get ready, Black.Copy !req
277. Like your mum! Hat, you're on deck.Copy !req
278. Now!Copy !req
279. Take it up!Copy !req
280. Damn, he doing it'?Copy !req
281. Not by himself, sweet thing.Copy !req
282. If you two are doing pissing about...Copy !req
283. Got him!Copy !req
284. Hat!Copy !req
285. Tell me he's got that thing trained.Copy !req
286. Not bad for a guy who
just kicks the snot out of wankers.Copy !req
287. Well, I'll be damned. We did it.Copy !req
288. Looks like you guys
are gonna need a name soon.Copy !req
289. Guess what we found.Copy !req
290. - Bastards!
- Manchester!Copy !req
291. Who put you up to this?Copy !req
292. - Easy, Manchester.
- Not chatty? Fine.Copy !req
293. Pokolistani tweaked about
England's support of Bialya.Copy !req
294. You're killing them! Stop!Copy !req
295. Can't just let them get away with it,
though, can we?Copy !req
296. We won't, but not like that.Copy !req
297. Why the hell not?
No less than they deserve.Copy !req
298. Call this one a win
and save the philosophy for the pub, then?Copy !req
299. - Definitely.
- Hey, hero. Mm.Copy !req
300. So was it the trashy outfit,
or should I start gluing slugs to my face?Copy !req
301. - Maybe an iguana.
- It was a moment.Copy !req
302. Pam was overexcited.Copy !req
303. Pam? One team-up and she's Pam.Copy !req
304. We saved a few hundred people, Lois.
What can I say?Copy !req
305. They're new and... excitable.Copy !req
306. That excitability better stay one-sided,
though you don't exactly sound like a fan.Copy !req
307. Not sure I am.Copy !req
308. You're the minority. The net's on fire.Copy !req
309. - People love these guys.
- They didn't see the part...Copy !req
310. where Black almost lobotomized
the two Pokolistani terrorists.Copy !req
311. - That would have sealed it.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
312. I mean some people think terrorists
should get what they deserve...Copy !req
313. as slowly and painfully as possible.Copy !req
314. Is that what you believe?Copy !req
315. Some days, yeah.Copy !req
316. I checked with the London Mirror while you
were making kissy faces with Lady Furby.Copy !req
317. They couldn't confirm any
of Black's story.Copy !req
318. - What about the sister?
- No birth record. No death certificate.Copy !req
319. - So he's lying?
- Don't know. We need to go deeper.Copy !req
320. If he did work for the government,
his files could be...Copy !req
321. Okay.Copy !req
322. Lois.Copy !req
323. Evening, morning,
and afternoon to one and all...Copy !req
324. wherever you happen to be.Copy !req
325. Please forgive this brief
but important message...Copy !req
326. regarding the safety
of the civilized world.Copy !req
327. How are they doing this?
Can you do this?Copy !req
328. This is a call-out
to the shadow cabinetsCopy !req
329. petty dictators
and all-around tossers of the world.Copy !req
330. You're on notice.Copy !req
331. We're not bound by lines on a map
or political alliances...Copy !req
332. or governing bodies of any kind.Copy !req
333. We are our own bosses,
and we have a very simple job.Copy !req
334. There are the good guys, namely us...Copy !req
335. and the bad guys, namely anyone
who treats anyone else like trash...Copy !req
336. to further their petty aims.Copy !req
337. We turn bad guys into memories.Copy !req
338. So mind your manners, lads and lasses...Copy !req
339. or we'll blow your house down.Copy !req
340. We're the Elite.Copy !req
341. You asked for us, world. Now you got us.Copy !req
342. At least they picked a name. Clark?Copy !req
343. Ha-ha. All right!
- Finally someone's got a pair!Copy !req
344. See, Dad? That's how you do it.Copy !req
345. No one's gonna pull something
with the Elite watching.Copy !req
346. Everyone likes a shiny new penny,
but it doesn't mean that...Copy !req
347. Lois.Copy !req
348. Get your coat.Copy !req
349. That'll give them something
to gab about.Copy !req
350. Viva the Elite!Copy !req
351. Have another, you git.Copy !req
352. Meanwhile, back at our secret HQ...Copy !req
353. we continue our chat
with the two unluckiest sods on the planet.Copy !req
354. The slobs at the other end
of the Chunnel.Copy !req
355. Your mates got off easy,
and you can as well.Copy !req
356. Spill your guts, so we don't have to.Copy !req
357. Pretty please.Copy !req
358. Guess it's a woman's touch, then.Copy !req
359. You like picking on those weaker than you.
Defenseless.Copy !req
360. No! No!Copy !req
361. No! Keep her away from me.Copy !req
362. The metahumans designated
the Elite are not anywhere...Copy !req
363. within the range of our scanners.Copy !req
364. Their message was downloaded
through a post-dimensional channel.Copy !req
365. I think my phone has an app for that.Copy !req
366. It means they're hiding
between dimensions.Copy !req
367. Impossible to track.Copy !req
368. Though we are currently processing
3,500,405 Internet hits on the Elite.Copy !req
369. How many of them are informational?Copy !req
370. Zero.Copy !req
371. How many of them contain the phrase:Copy !req
372. - "These guys rock"?
- 2,800,000...Copy !req
373. I need something. A location.Copy !req
374. Do you think the world has moved on
to a place where I can't follow?Copy !req
375. Sir, a spatial disruption matching
the Elite's energy signature...Copy !req
376. has been detected over Bialya.Copy !req
377. Which one of you tin cans
is gonna get me back to England?Copy !req
378. Thank God for the Elite!Copy !req
379. Finally someone with the power
to say what we're all thinking.Copy !req
380. Not all of usCopy !req
381. "Might makes right" has never been
a productive philosophy.Copy !req
382. So instead, you'd rather have tea
with terrorists.Copy !req
383. Demitasse with dictators.Copy !req
384. Of course not, but set aside the rhetoric
and analyze what Mr. Black said.Copy !req
385. He said he's gonna kick some ass!Copy !req
386. Without the rule of international
law, diplomacy, dialogue.Copy !req
387. Dialogue? There are people
you cannot talk to.Copy !req
388. That's who the Elite are for.Copy !req
389. What happens when the Elite turn
their attentions away from those people...Copy !req
390. - and turn them towards you?
- Why the hell would they do that?Copy !req
391. I'm American! We're the good guys.Copy !req
392. - American scum!
- Today you die.Copy !req
393. And Bialya falls.Copy !req
394. Wait.Copy !req
395. What?Copy !req
396. They have microwave popcorn
in your terror-ass country?Copy !req
397. Goodnight, ladies.Copy !req
398. You got terrorist on you.Copy !req
399. Ck.Copy !req
400. No worries, mate. It's all over now.Copy !req
401. Chill a minute.Copy !req
402. We've had you on a solar energy drip,
but your brain's still a wreck.Copy !req
403. My bad. Didn't see you flying in.Copy !req
404. Neutrino pulse.
It's like an EMP for organics.Copy !req
405. Stops the electrons in your brain
from flowing for a second.Copy !req
406. Makes everyone go nappy-time...Copy !req
407. unless you are in armor, apparently.Copy !req
408. Considering the hit you took,
it's a bloody miracle you stayed conscious.Copy !req
409. You...Copy !req
410. No need to thank us,
though cash would be grand.Copy !req
411. Kidding. How about the tour?Copy !req
412. It's less boring
when you're half in the bag.Copy !req
413. Even with his ass kicked,
it's still a fine ass.Copy !req
414. Remember who kicked it, baby.Copy !req
415. Totally flash, eh?Copy !req
416. She's not just a ship.Copy !req
417. She's actually the biggest silicone-based
bacteria colony in the universe.Copy !req
418. Well, this universe.Copy !req
419. Sounds gross, I know,
but she's fast as crap through a goose...Copy !req
420. and ducks between dimensions.
Complete privacy and gives traffic the finger.Copy !req
421. Named her Bunny.Copy !req
422. We think she had the capacity to feel...Copy !req
423. so we jettisoned her emotion nodules
a few ticks back.Copy !req
424. Seemed the humane thing to do.Copy !req
425. You killed them!
Murdered the Pokolistani soldiers.Copy !req
426. No offense,
but someone had to do something...Copy !req
427. while you were playing spastic
on the floor.Copy !req
428. Aww. Hat! Every time we win a battle...Copy !req
429. he gets knackered
and pukes all over the place.Copy !req
430. This isn't a joke. You can't murder people
and call yourselves heroes.Copy !req
431. Why not?
Your government does it all the time.Copy !req
432. Look, Supes, when we take down
the baddies, they stay down.Copy !req
433. - Isn't that better for everyone?
- We are not above the law.Copy !req
434. We have to show the world
that there's a better way.Copy !req
435. - That people can be better.
- But that's the problem. They can't.Copy !req
436. The world's overflowing
with sick puppies.Copy !req
437. Original sin in 36 flavors.Copy !req
438. I'm not an idiot.
I know there are bad men in power.Copy !req
439. It's not a perfect world, but we can't just
throw morality in the garbage.Copy !req
440. You don't have a clue what it means
to live in fear, do you?Copy !req
441. To wonder why no one can
stop the bogeymen...Copy !req
442. who knock down skyscrapers
or blow up schools.Copy !req
443. Well, we do. Human beings do.Copy !req
444. We understand fear all too well.Copy !req
445. So now we're wiping the Earth
free of scum, and they love us for it.Copy !req
446. It can't be this way. You know that.Copy !req
447. I can't allow it.Copy !req
448. You're welcome for the rescue.Copy !req
449. Bunny.Copy !req
450. Black!Copy !req
451. Um... If this is a problem,
I can cut you in 10 percent.Copy !req
452. As has been repeatedly stated,
Ms. Lane, MI5 does not confirm nor deny...Copy !req
453. Forget it. I got the message loud and clear,
Double-O Useless.Copy !req
454. Just checking in to report
nothing from British Intelligence...Copy !req
455. which is a major oxymoron
right now.Copy !req
456. You're barking up the wrong forest.Copy !req
457. As far as MI5 is concerned,
there is no Manchester Black.Copy !req
458. And are you here to tell me differently,
or am I about to get shot in the face?Copy !req
459. The world needs to know
what they're dealing with.Copy !req
460. Vera?Copy !req
461. Ches isn't the only one who worked
for the queen and had his history wiped.Copy !req
462. Hope it helps.Copy !req
463. Why?Copy !req
464. Because my brother is misguided
and angry, but he saved my life.Copy !req
465. I'd like to save his, if I can.Copy !req
466. Shall we return to Metropolis,
Miss Lane?Copy !req
467. Knock, knock, skull-head. Yummy time.Copy !req
468. Almost had some excitement there.Copy !req
469. The excitement's just starting.Copy !req
470. Been a lot of talk. Not much of it good.Copy !req
471. Had to put a slap on Ben Farnsworth
on account of he said you looked the fool.Copy !req
472. I did, Pa.Copy !req
473. They sucker-punched you.Copy !req
474. Sucker-teleported, technically.Copy !req
475. So even Smallville's rooting for the Elite.Copy !req
476. Well, just the loud, angry and stupid.Copy !req
477. Come on, it's not that simple.Copy !req
478. I don't think that
I make them feel safe anymore.Copy !req
479. The way I do things.Copy !req
480. Clark, when people are scared...Copy !req
481. they have a tendency
to hop on a bandwagon...Copy !req
482. before they see who's driving it.Copy !req
483. But when they wise up,
and believe me, they will...Copy !req
484. what matters is
that you'll be there for them.Copy !req
485. Leading by example just like always.Copy !req
486. Truth, justice and the American way.Copy !req
487. It ain't broke, so don't fix it.Copy !req
488. Thanks, Pa.Copy !req
489. Besides, if those knuckleheads
don't quit tugging on your cape...Copy !req
490. you can always kick
their self-righteous asses to kingdom come.Copy !req
491. - Lois?
- Home now.Copy !req
492. Let's get out of here!Copy !req
493. That's not attractive at all.Copy !req
494. Finally someone you wouldn't do.Copy !req
495. Zip it, love birds.Copy !req
496. Let's show Big Blue how it's done
on his home turf.Copy !req
497. I hope you know
that thing goes off during dinner.Copy !req
498. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
499. Dad, that's Central Square.Copy !req
500. - The Elite are here.
- Terrence, wait.Copy !req
501. Aren't you an ugly biter?Copy !req
502. He's sending in the B team?Copy !req
503. I want the boss, not the interns.Copy !req
504. Let him go!Copy !req
505. Black. Shield up.Copy !req
506. I really have to sober up now.
What the hell is happening?Copy !req
507. I think that little rest at Stryker's
did me some good.Copy !req
508. Hat, form a perimeter.Copy !req
509. Coldcast, can you absorb energy
or just project it?Copy !req
510. Hells yes. If I can get that sucker
before he gets me.Copy !req
511. Oi. You can't boss my team.Copy !req
512. The man giveth and the man taketh away.Copy !req
513. You're buggered, mate.Copy !req
514. Give my regards to Satan then.Copy !req
515. No. He's going back to Stryker's.Copy !req
516. Back to jail? Are you daft?Copy !req
517. This is what happens.
More pain, more suffering.Copy !req
518. - We are not the law. We do not...
Kill him.Copy !req
519. - Kill him.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
520. - Do it, Manchester.
- Kill it.Copy !req
521. - Kill it.
- Kill it.Copy !req
522. - Kill it.
- Do it.Copy !req
523. Stop, listen to Superman.Copy !req
524. - Do it.
- Kill the bastard.Copy !req
525. He... He wouldn't want...Copy !req
526. It's your fault. You beat him already.Copy !req
527. - You did it your way and...
- And he failed.Copy !req
528. Is that the world you want?Copy !req
529. Or should monsters like this
get what they deserve?Copy !req
530. Say it, kid.Copy !req
531. No.Copy !req
532. Do it.Copy !req
533. Listen, I like Superman, sure.Copy !req
534. But the Elite will kill these murderers
and terrorists. What's not to like?Copy !req
535. The Elite are terrorists.Copy !req
536. They have allied themselves with Bialya.Copy !req
537. And perpetrated acts of war
against our nation.Copy !req
538. This will not be tolerated.Copy !req
539. I've lived in Metropolis my entire life.Copy !req
540. Superman has always been there for us.Copy !req
541. But so have those criminals
he's put away so many times.Copy !req
542. Maybe his way doesn't work.Copy !req
543. Acts of aggression
will no longer be tolerated.Copy !req
544. And not a Superman
nor a Manchester Black...Copy !req
545. will stop us from defending
our borders.Copy !req
546. Kill them all and let God sort it out.Copy !req
547. Superman's done.
This is the age of the Elite.Copy !req
548. It's not fair. Someone else be Superman.Copy !req
549. - Not it.
- But you wanted to be Superman.Copy !req
550. Yeah, but I can't kill you,
but you can kill me? That's not fair.Copy !req
551. - It's the rules.
- Sucks. Superman is so beat.Copy !req
552. Clark. Clark. I called Kansas
and Ma said you're not there.Copy !req
553. So pick up your stupid hologram thing
or I'll kick your butt when you get home.Copy !req
554. - Sweet-talker.
- Yeah, well, not really.Copy !req
555. I made it through those files on the Elite.Copy !req
556. Mr. Black's back-story
is a load of rubbish.Copy !req
557. Failing to mention his sister
is still alive is a good example.Copy !req
558. And that dear old Dad
suffered a massive stroke...Copy !req
559. when Chester decided
he was due for one.Copy !req
560. And how Vera's rescue resulted
in the deaths of a dozen people...Copy !req
561. when he crushed the train that hit her.Copy !req
562. My God, are you running this
in the Planet?Copy !req
563. I tried.Copy !req
564. Perry was shut down by British Intelligence
before the story left his computer.Copy !req
565. No one wants to admit
they took a narcissistic angry teenager...Copy !req
566. and tried to make a Superman
out of him.Copy !req
567. The rest of the team isn't much better.Copy !req
568. No murders, but criminal records
a mile long.Copy !req
569. All wiped clean
when they were recruited.Copy !req
570. Vera's a sweet kid...Copy !req
571. but she turned into quite
the establishment bitch, didn't she?Copy !req
572. Sorry to barge in, but there was no bell.Copy !req
573. And magic trumps a giant key every time.Copy !req
574. I'm going to say this once.Copy !req
575. Surrender now,
face judgment for your crimes or...Copy !req
576. Stop. There is no "or"
in this conversation.Copy !req
577. Because you don't have the stones to do
to us what we'd do to you in a heartbeat.Copy !req
578. He might have the stones to do me.Copy !req
579. Pam, I'm handing out ultimatums.
Please, keep it in your pants.Copy !req
580. You probably won't believe this,
but I used to love superheroes.Copy !req
581. But masks are for hiding.
Capes are for play.Copy !req
582. You were the first. The best.Copy !req
583. But now you're a cliché
and you don't fit in anymore.Copy !req
584. Mad scientists, idiots in underwear, bank
robbers, knock yourself out with that lot.Copy !req
585. But the real work, fixing the world,
is ours.Copy !req
586. Starting tomorrow with Bialya.Copy !req
587. - I'm shutting you down.
- Right.Copy !req
588. Maybe this time they'll learn
that crime doesn't pay.Copy !req
589. Entering Pokolistan airspace.Copy !req
590. Capital city in range.Copy !req
591. Requesting authorization
for payload drop.Copy !req
592. - All buildings are active targets.
- Level the city.Copy !req
593. Long live Bialya.Copy !req
594. It ends today.Copy !req
595. Ends without a single loss of life.Copy !req
596. Boy, you sure showed us, didn't you?Copy !req
597. Do I feel mortified?
What happens next, Super Gandhi?Copy !req
598. Next I get the leaders of both
Pokolistan and Bialya...Copy !req
599. to sit down
and talk in a neutral location.Copy !req
600. - Don't you think it's a bit late for that?
- It's never too late for peace, Black.Copy !req
601. That's what I'm trying
to make you understand.Copy !req
602. No. No, I mean, it's a bit late...Copy !req
603. because the leaders of Bialya
and Pokolistan...Copy !req
604. - and dead as a bunch of dead wankers.
- What?Copy !req
605. Well, you know, the opposite of alive.Copy !req
606. Dead.Copy !req
607. No one was gonna blink here, Supes.Copy !req
608. I read their minds.Copy !req
609. Got all their precious little state secrets.Copy !req
610. Bottom line is that the war of jackholes
was just going to escalate...Copy !req
611. until this dungheap of a region
was turned to glass.Copy !req
612. - No offense.
- No. You didn't.Copy !req
613. The only logical thing to do was to
slot the whole megillah and start over.Copy !req
614. So congratulations, children.Copy !req
615. Your leaders are all dead.
Peace reigns supreme.Copy !req
616. No!Copy !req
617. Oh, no.Copy !req
618. Wait.Copy !req
619. In a week people will forget
these countries ever existed.Copy !req
620. But they'll never forget the day Superman
declared war on their favorite son.Copy !req
621. Write your wills, say your goodbyes.
Tomorrow it's done.Copy !req
622. While the international community...Copy !req
623. has condemned the actions
of the Elite...Copy !req
624. public polls indicate that many feel the
conflict between Bialya and Pokolistan...Copy !req
625. has been definitively resolved.Copy !req
626. However, with Superman
next on the Elite's list, the question is...Copy !req
627. Turn it off, please.Copy !req
628. - When?
- Dawn, I guess.Copy !req
629. They'll like the drama of that.Copy !req
630. Why do you have to do this?
Why can't you call someone else?Copy !req
631. The Elite didn't take the fight
to anyone else.Copy !req
632. - They chose me.
- No, you went after them.Copy !req
633. They're slaughtering people
and laughing about it.Copy !req
634. Black can punch a hole
through a mountain by thinking.Copy !req
635. The Hat tosses around demons
like trained birds and Pam...Copy !req
636. - They have to be stopped.
- I think they can beat you.Copy !req
637. I'm sorry.
But they're willing to go places you won't.Copy !req
638. And they are so damn strong.Copy !req
639. I heard a child say that he wanted
to be in the Elite when he grows up...Copy !req
640. because it would be fun
to kill bad guys.Copy !req
641. Fun to kill.Copy !req
642. People have to know
that there's another way.Copy !req
643. They have to see that someone
believes in humanity strongly enough to...Copy !req
644. To die for them?Copy !req
645. Clark?Copy !req
646. Show yourselves.Copy !req
647. Pretty flash entrance, isn't it?
Our Bunny's a keeper.Copy !req
648. Some people have no sense of theater.Copy !req
649. - I call kneecaps.
- Spine.Copy !req
650. - Other.
- Wait. Not here.Copy !req
651. Please.Copy !req
652. A last request. Brilliant.Copy !req
653. We'll patch the game through
to interested parties.Copy !req
654. Want everyone to see
it's a fair fight, yes?Copy !req
655. Crackers. Bunny, darling.Copy !req
656. Damn you, Clark.Copy !req
657. Here's a nice slice of pitch to play on.Copy !req
658. Thank Bunny for the oxygen.
Not that you need it, but we mere mortals...Copy !req
659. Figure you got a speech prepped.Copy !req
660. I've tried to reason with you.Copy !req
661. I've tried to show you
there's another way.Copy !req
662. I'm begging you to help me end this
without further bloodshed.Copy !req
663. Stand down
and be judged for your crimes.Copy !req
664. And maybe we can all get out of this
in one piece.Copy !req
665. You're an inconceivable wanker.Copy !req
666. Pay attention, would-be superheroes,
and glorious people of Earth.Copy !req
667. School's in session.Copy !req
668. And Professor Chester's gonna learn you
how the world will work from this day on.Copy !req
669. Rule number one: he who has the power
makes the rules. Obvious.Copy !req
670. Rule number two:
Tough love is a crock of scatters.Copy !req
671. This isn't about love.Copy !req
672. People don't want babysitters in spandex
to spank them when they're bad.Copy !req
673. They want surgeons to cut out the cancers
that festered in us...Copy !req
674. and make sure they never come back.Copy !req
675. Dr. Black, at your service.Copy !req
676. Wait for it, kids.Copy !req
677. Rule number three: no more capes.Copy !req
678. As this ends quicker than any of you
ever imagined, take heed.Copy !req
679. Blue Boy is the first.Copy !req
680. But if any of his costumed cronies rise up
to avenge their fallen dream...Copy !req
681. you'll get worse, I promise.
The dream is over.Copy !req
682. Viva reality.Copy !req
683. No witty retort? Oh, wait.
You're in the middle of a seizure.Copy !req
684. Sorry, mate. I can't read your mind...Copy !req
685. but I sure as hell
can muck about with your brain.Copy !req
686. All those capillaries,
like little tubes of concrete.Copy !req
687. But still vulnerable.Copy !req
688. It's funny, isn't it?Copy !req
689. A life of truth, justice and
the American, military, capitalist way.Copy !req
690. In the end, you die on the moon,
wondering if your bowels will let go.Copy !req
691. And tomorrow, the world will go on
like nothing happened.Copy !req
692. Dragged kicking and screaming
to a better day.Copy !req
693. Ta, mate.Copy !req
694. - They didn't really...
- I mean, it's Superman.Copy !req
695. There, look.Copy !req
696. How is it that no matter
how badly you massacre...Copy !req
697. one of these thong-and-blanket types...Copy !req
698. some shred of their unmentionables
still survives the blast?Copy !req
699. I did my best, boss.
At least you got a trophy out of it.Copy !req
700. Strewth.Copy !req
701. Right, who else has business to perform
on this shroud before we hang it up?Copy !req
702. - I, for one, should like to scrub my...
I finally get it.Copy !req
703. Thank you.Copy !req
704. No frigging way'...Copy !req
705. Cool it, Hat. Coldcast?Copy !req
706. Nothing could have...
That was like 15 suns exploding in his face.Copy !req
707. I made the mistake
of treating you people like people.Copy !req
708. No sonar.
Can't smell him either. Scorched air.Copy !req
709. But now I understand better.Copy !req
710. I'm getting a tight sphincter here,
Chester.Copy !req
711. Shut your gob.Copy !req
712. I understand now what the world wants.Copy !req
713. What it needs.Copy !req
714. Ow! Something bit me.Copy !req
715. 'Bit you?
- Pam!Copy !req
716. - Do something.
- Do what?Copy !req
717. He's poisoned the zoo.
The buggers want out.Copy !req
718. He is supposed to be dead.Copy !req
719. - She's not breathing. Damn it, Chester.
- She's dead?Copy !req
720. Bugger me. He's playing it our way.Copy !req
721. Leave her.
Blister the land and flush him out.Copy !req
722. I can't. Not after a blast like that.
Call the ship and get Pam to sick bay.Copy !req
723. Guys.Copy !req
724. The world needs people in charge...Copy !req
725. who are willing
to put the animals down.Copy !req
726. - Is...? Is that Superman?
- Not anymore.Copy !req
727. - Pam!
- She's dead. Let her go.Copy !req
728. Hang tight. Everyone knows
Superman can't do magic.Copy !req
729. Don't let him separate us.Copy !req
730. Here's a little ancient Chinese secret.Copy !req
731. How? He's shielded by magic.Copy !req
732. That wind is clocking in
at 500 miles a minute.Copy !req
733. His body may not be taking any hits...Copy !req
734. but his lungs just collapsed
from the vacuum.Copy !req
735. Do something.
Find his brain and shut it down.Copy !req
736. He thought this through.Copy !req
737. - He's been playing us this whole time.
- Chester. He killed Pam and the Hat.Copy !req
738. Get With it.Copy !req
739. Bunny, get us out of here.Copy !req
740. What the hell are you doing?
Pam is still up there.Copy !req
741. - We can't just...
- He won't do anything here.Copy !req
742. Not with the sheep around us.Copy !req
743. Bunny, get ready to port again.Copy !req
744. The second he shows his S,
I'm gonna flatten this whole city.Copy !req
745. Chester, wait.Copy !req
746. Holy sh...Copy !req
747. Where did he go?
Where did he freaking go?Copy !req
748. Orbit. He went into orbit at Mach seven.Copy !req
749. If you had super-hearing,
any second you'd hear the pop.Copy !req
750. Oh, no.Copy !req
751. You crazy son of a bitch.
You killed my team.Copy !req
752. Your team of killers.Copy !req
753. Now guess what.Copy !req
754. They won't be killing anyone else.Copy !req
755. See?Copy !req
756. I finally bought what you've been selling.Copy !req
757. You bloody psychopath!Copy !req
758. How does it feel, Black?Copy !req
759. How does it feel to be deconstructed?Copy !req
760. To be the victim?
To watch your dreams die?Copy !req
761. Let me show you,
you self-righteous hypocrite.Copy !req
762. Heat vision? You can barely stand,
let alone fry my face.Copy !req
763. I'm not aiming at your face.Copy !req
764. You're not dying. I'm thinking it...Copy !req
765. but why can't I feel my power?Copy !req
766. I scanned your brain for abnormalities.
And when I found one...Copy !req
767. I cut it out.Copy !req
768. - What?
- Heat vision.Copy !req
