Don't you see?

219
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:44,018
[Conner] You crossed a line

220

[Nightwing] You murdered
that man.

221
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:47,981
I executed a criminal,

222
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,858
while you hypocrites

223
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:52,652
allowed a murderer
to walk free among us!

224

No. There was

228
00:11:01,411 --> 00:11:03,913
[inhales] I had a choice.

229
00:11:04,455 --> 00:11:06,166
I made the wrong one.

230

[Baazovi speaking Markovian]

[crowd chanting in Markovian]

232
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:15,383
We both must

234
00:11:18,261 --> 00:11:20,430
Do you not hear the crowd?

They know what I did was just.

236
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:24,517
And so should you!

237
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:29,022
Tara, I dedicated my life
to rescuing you,

238
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:30,732
but you lied to me

239
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:33,318
and nearly betrayed us all.

240
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:35,028
You are an assassin!

241
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:37,864
I am a hero!

242
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:40,074
[Conner] Heroes don't do
what you did.

243
00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:41,576
The people would disagree.

244
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:44,078
Would you condemn
a soldier in war?

245
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:47,707
No, you'd call him <i>Varonis,</i>
a hero.

246
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:49,459
And I'd call this hero

247
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:50,543
<i>Karalis.</i>

248
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:54,547
- A King.
- King? But Gregor...

249
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:58,051
Kings make hard decisions
for the sake of their people.

250
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:00,637
You know I supported Gregor,

251
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:03,765
but Gregor isn't strong
enough for these times.

252
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:07,727
Only you have the strength
to rule Markovia.

253
00:12:08,019 --> 00:12:10,730
With the full support
of the military.

254
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:15,235
Prince Brion brought down
the tyrant DeLamb,

255
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:18,655

after escaping prison,

256
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:21,157

You are only 16 minutes
younger than your brother.

260
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,338
Admit the truth to yourself.

[in English] My brother
is a man of great patience.

264
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:55,817
But that is not
what our country needs.

265
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,236
Brion, you cannot
betray Gregor.

266
00:12:58,528 --> 00:13:01,572
Unlike you, I betray no one.

267
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:05,618
Gregor's 16 minutes is
no justification for his rule.

268
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:09,205
I've always known
the crown should be mine.

if you support my rule.

273
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:26,347
No, brother. That I cannot do.

274
00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:31,561
Fine. Halo, join me.

275
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:33,146

281
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:54,667
take all your heroes
out of my country.

282
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:56,461
At once!

[chuckles] Oh, please.

290
00:14:36,084 --> 00:14:38,252
Things could hardly

291

A coup on live television?

293

An Outsider executing an enemy
and declaring himself King?

294
00:14:47,804 --> 00:14:49,806
I can easily frame
the argument now

295
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:52,392
for heroes to be
registered and regulated.

296
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:54,060
As far as I'm concerned,

297
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,688

355
00:17:27,505 --> 00:17:29,215

356
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,133
<i>of the Princess'
abduction into account</i>

357
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,928

<i>Markovia's King-In-Exile,
Gregor Markov.</i>

359
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:39,642
<i>As part of her probation, she
will attempt to redeem herself</i>

360
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,853
<i>by doing good works
with the Outsiders.</i>

361
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:49,860
[sighs] No, I...
I don't want to see her.

362
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:51,404
She's made some mistakes,

363
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:53,739
but she wants to make up
for them by helping you.

364
00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:55,449
Please, Your Highness.

365
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,827
We all deserve
a second chance.

366
00:17:57,994 --> 00:18:00,246
[sighs] Let her approach.

<i>The Light is satisfied.</i>

368
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:16,929
Though Lex has some
legal issues to resolve,

369
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,848
the rest of the news is good.

370
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:22,268
<i>Agreed. King Brion now
leads a puppet kingdom,</i>

371
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:26,230
<i>thanks in no small part to
our newest member's influence.</i>

372
00:18:26,397 --> 00:18:28,357
[Baazovi]
<i>Yes, well, I'm no Martian,</i>

373
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:30,776
<i>but my limited
meta-psychic ability</i>

374
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:32,528
<i>does come in handy to...</i>

375
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:35,448
<i>nudge people toward
their own worst impulses.</i>

376
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,908
No need to be modest, Zviad.

377
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:40,870
Your services
are much appreciated.

378
00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:43,539
Now, I'm sure
you're all wondering

379
00:18:43,706 --> 00:18:46,208
about my recent trip
to Apokolips.

380
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:49,462
<i>Darkseid and I rattled
sabres at each other</i>

381
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:51,797
<i>over our mutual
sense of betrayal.</i>

382
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:56,052
<i>We aired our differences but
managed to find common ground</i>

383
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,804
<i>and reconfirm
our partnership.</i>

384
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:03,809
Of course, his search for the
Anti-Life Equation continues.

385
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:06,479
So we must prepare,

386
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,316
<i>while keeping eyes
on this... Halo.</i>

387
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:14,445
<i>She could be the key
to our final victory.</i>

388
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:19,367
Can you hear us
on the Javelin?

389
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:21,911
<i>Roger that.
You got three Lanterns,</i>

390
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:24,830
<i>two Hawks, a Martian,
a Captain, a Doctor,</i>

391
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:30,961
<i>a Devil, Magog, Steel, Icon,
Fire, Ice and Flongated Man.</i>

392
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:32,880
[Elongated Man]
<i>That's Elongated Man!</i>

393
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:35,132
<i>Hope you poozers
make it worth our while.</i>

394
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:36,550
[Nightwing] How about
at the Batcave?

395
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,303
<i>Metamorpho here
with Batwoman, Katana,</i>

396
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:42,807
<i>Hardware, Plaz, Spoiler,
Arrowette and Orphan.</i>

397
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:46,394
That's just about everyone.
Wasn't sure they'd all respond.

398
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:49,313
You command more respect
than you realize.

399
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,815
[Nightwing] Ah,
starting to get that.

400
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:55,194
Still, everyone's here except
the one guy I really need.

401
00:19:55,528 --> 00:19:56,445
[computer] <i>Recognized.</i>

402
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:59,782
<i>Pierce-Comma-Jefferson,
G-Zero-One.</i>

403
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:01,283
[Nightwing]
Glad you could make it.

404
00:20:01,450 --> 00:20:03,494
Gladder still
you're staying in the game.

405
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:05,079
Yeah, well...

406
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,415
it's the right thing.

407
00:20:08,499 --> 00:20:09,792
You sure about this?

408
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:11,627
Oh, yeah.

409
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:13,921
Thanks for coming, everyone.

410
00:20:14,171 --> 00:20:16,924
Word's spreading fast, so we
might as well get it out in the open.

411
00:20:17,091 --> 00:20:19,343
Batman, Wonder Woman,
Aquaman,

412
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:21,470
Miss Martian, Oracle,
Robin, and I

413
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:23,848
have been running
a secret task force,

414
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,933
coordinating all
our Teams and squads

415
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,227
in an attempt to beat
the Light at their own game.

416
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:31,981
We kept it a secret in a
misguided attempt to protect you.

417
00:20:32,314 --> 00:20:35,109
We've had successes,
failures, compromises,

418
00:20:35,276 --> 00:20:37,111
deceptions and betrayals.

419
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:40,573
It is now clear, that
despite our best intentions,

420
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,283
we made a mistake.

421
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:46,579
So I hereby resign as Co-Chair of
the League, effective immediately.

422
00:20:46,996 --> 00:20:47,872
As do I.

423
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:50,916
I'm stepping down as Leader
of the Team, as well.

424
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,043
Which means
we need a new leader,

425
00:20:53,294 --> 00:20:56,964
one who has consistently acted
as the conscience of the League.

426
00:20:57,381 --> 00:20:59,925
And although I'm not a member,
I'd like to take the liberty

427
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,303
of nominating Black Lightning.

428
00:21:02,511 --> 00:21:03,554
Seconded.

429
00:21:03,846 --> 00:21:05,848
All current Leaguers
present and in favor?

430
00:21:06,015 --> 00:21:08,058
- [all] Aye!
- And aboard the Javelin?

431
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:09,268
[all] <i>Aye!</i>

432
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:11,228
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I don't want this.

433
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:13,939
Maybe not. But we kinda
need you to take it.

434
00:21:15,566 --> 00:21:16,525
What say you?

435
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:18,861
I don't have a vote,
currently.

436
00:21:19,195 --> 00:21:23,199
If I take this, you're
either in or you're out.

437
00:21:23,407 --> 00:21:26,118
There's no half-way.
No behind-the-scenes crap.

438
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:29,580
If you take this,
we'll fold Batman, Inc.

439
00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:31,874
Back into the League
and the Team,

440
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:34,960
on your terms.
It's for the best.

441
00:21:35,252 --> 00:21:36,295
For the mission.

442
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:40,800
I rejoin the Team.
Team works for the League.

443
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,802
I work for you, boss.

444
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:44,345
[sighs]

445
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:51,143
We all believe the League
needs course correction,

446
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:54,271
because we're all afraid
of the same tired old story.

447
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:56,440
"The hero gets lost
fighting the good fight

448
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:59,318
"and becomes the very thing
he or she is fighting against."

449
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:01,153
And, sure, it happens.

450
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,656
Vandal Savage, Teth Adam,

451
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:08,202
Ra's al Ghul. And now,
sadly, Geo-Force.

452
00:22:08,661 --> 00:22:10,663
But it will not
happen again.

453
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,206
Not to any of us.

454
00:22:12,414 --> 00:22:15,835
Because from here on out, we will
not keep secrets from each other.

455
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:18,712
We need each other
to know each others' secrets

456
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:21,090
to keep each other
on the straight and narrow.

457
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:24,009
No more making decisions
to protect each other

458
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:26,428
from the choices
we might be forced to make.

459
00:22:26,595 --> 00:22:30,683
In this League, the ends
will not justify the means!

460
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:34,186
We will not sink to using
the methods of our enemies.

461
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,105
We will keep our covert Team,

462
00:22:36,438 --> 00:22:38,274
not for the sake
of it being covert,

463
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:40,526
but because it affords
our young heroes

464
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:42,444
a place to learn
out of the spotlight.

465
00:22:42,736 --> 00:22:45,030
But, otherwise,
like the Outsiders,

466
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:47,616
we must live
in each others' spotlights.

467
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:48,701
[groans]

468
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,411
If we fail while doing right,

469
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:53,789
then at least we went down
swinging on our own terms.

470
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:56,792
But in the long term,
we will not fail.

471
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:58,878
Holding firm
to our principles

472
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:01,755
will guide us
to an honorable victory!

473
00:23:02,673 --> 00:23:04,550
Now, let's get down
to business.
