1
00:00:06,221 --> 00:00:08,839
Previously on Justice League...
2
00:00:10,793 --> 00:00:12,159
Green Lantern: Stop!
3
00:00:12,227 --> 00:00:14,979
You are the Green Lantern
known as John Stewart?
4
00:00:15,047 --> 00:00:16,747
I am. Your ring.
5
00:00:22,854 --> 00:00:26,040
Manhunter: Welcome to Ajuris 5, John Stewart.
6
00:00:27,542 --> 00:00:29,276
There.
7
00:00:29,344 --> 00:00:30,695
That's where he is.
8
00:00:33,965 --> 00:00:36,300
What is this, some kind of trial?
9
00:00:36,368 --> 00:00:39,286
I was on my way to sell weapons on Ajuris 4.
10
00:00:39,354 --> 00:00:42,790
I figured he was gonna try to stop me,
but his aim was off,
11
00:00:42,858 --> 00:00:44,358
Way off.
12
00:00:50,098 --> 00:00:52,033
3 billion.
13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:54,568
That's how many were on that planet.
14
00:00:54,636 --> 00:00:56,387
Hawkgirl: That scum's an obvious liar.
15
00:00:56,455 --> 00:00:58,222
Nobody's lying.
16
00:00:58,290 --> 00:00:59,540
I did it.
17
00:00:59,608 --> 00:01:01,643
I'm guilty.
18
00:02:07,876 --> 00:02:08,759
3 billion gone.
19
00:02:08,827 --> 00:02:10,377
I can't believe it.
20
00:02:10,445 --> 00:02:11,846
Neither can I.
21
00:02:13,265 --> 00:02:15,233
I want to take a closer look
at what happened.
22
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:17,451
Why? John admits he's guilty.
23
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:19,169
No one's disputing the facts.
24
00:02:19,237 --> 00:02:21,856
Maybe I am.
J'onn, I need you to come with me.
25
00:02:21,923 --> 00:02:24,708
Flash, Hawkgirl, can you buy us
some time in court?
26
00:02:24,776 --> 00:02:27,612
You're asking the world's fastest man
to slow things down?
27
00:02:27,679 --> 00:02:28,913
Won't be easy.
28
00:02:35,203 --> 00:02:37,921
J'onn: So what do you expect to
find on this moon?
29
00:02:37,989 --> 00:02:41,125
I don't know.
There's something bothering me.
30
00:02:41,192 --> 00:02:42,627
Just call it...
31
00:02:42,694 --> 00:02:44,011
An intuition?
32
00:02:44,079 --> 00:02:45,596
Exactly.
33
00:02:52,487 --> 00:02:56,189
John Stewart,
you may now question your accuser.
34
00:02:56,257 --> 00:02:57,341
No questions.
35
00:02:57,408 --> 00:02:59,259
[crowd murmuring]
36
00:02:59,327 --> 00:03:02,596
None? Don't you intend to defend yourself?
37
00:03:02,664 --> 00:03:04,865
No, I don't.
38
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:06,734
[murmuring continues]
39
00:03:08,787 --> 00:03:12,106
Flash: I object. You call this a trial?
40
00:03:12,174 --> 00:03:13,791
I say it's a joke.
41
00:03:13,859 --> 00:03:16,844
Are you out of your mind?
What do you think you're doing?
42
00:03:16,912 --> 00:03:17,978
Prepare to be dazzled.
43
00:03:18,046 --> 00:03:19,196
Remove him.
44
00:03:23,401 --> 00:03:25,018
Listen to me.
45
00:03:25,087 --> 00:03:27,221
With something this important,
you got to hear both sides.
46
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,125
Flash, I told you not to get involved.
47
00:03:31,192 --> 00:03:33,360
They're railroading you, pal.
48
00:03:33,428 --> 00:03:34,178
Hey!
49
00:03:34,246 --> 00:03:36,263
Female judge: Wait.
50
00:03:36,331 --> 00:03:38,265
This being may have a point.
51
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:40,200
We don't want any lingering doubts
52
00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:42,069
About our final judgment, do we?
53
00:03:42,137 --> 00:03:45,222
Of course not.
But who would speak for John Stewart?
54
00:03:45,289 --> 00:03:46,607
Don't you have any lawyers here?
55
00:03:46,675 --> 00:03:49,877
We solved our lawyer problem
a long time ago.
56
00:03:49,944 --> 00:03:52,513
However, you could speak for him,
if you wish.
57
00:03:52,581 --> 00:03:55,048
But be aware, if you lose,
58
00:03:55,117 --> 00:03:57,851
You'll share the same penalty
as the accused.
59
00:03:57,919 --> 00:03:59,554
The same penalty?
60
00:03:59,621 --> 00:04:01,088
You mean...
61
00:04:01,156 --> 00:04:02,707
That's crazy.
62
00:04:02,774 --> 00:04:05,593
No, that's how we solved our lawyer problem.
63
00:04:05,661 --> 00:04:06,877
What's your answer?
64
00:04:06,945 --> 00:04:07,945
Don't do it.
65
00:04:08,013 --> 00:04:09,480
What, you think I'm gonna sit back and watch
66
00:04:09,547 --> 00:04:10,647
While you play martyr?
67
00:04:10,715 --> 00:04:11,999
I'll defend him.
68
00:04:12,066 --> 00:04:13,817
Very well. Proceed.
69
00:04:13,885 --> 00:04:15,386
Ahem.
70
00:04:15,453 --> 00:04:17,054
Right, sure.
71
00:04:20,558 --> 00:04:23,994
But first I'd like to say
a few words about...
72
00:04:24,062 --> 00:04:26,229
About habeas corpus.
73
00:04:26,297 --> 00:04:27,898
Yeah, habeas corpus.
74
00:04:27,966 --> 00:04:30,901
And ipso facto and...
75
00:04:30,969 --> 00:04:32,836
Phi beta kappa.
76
00:04:32,904 --> 00:04:35,172
[crowd murmuring]
77
00:04:41,229 --> 00:04:43,414
Waiter. Another round.
78
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:48,685
Why aren't you at the trial?
79
00:04:48,753 --> 00:04:50,955
Heh. We couldn't stand it anymore.
80
00:04:51,022 --> 00:04:53,356
John Stewart’s made us all look bad.
81
00:04:53,424 --> 00:04:55,926
So much for the vaunted loyalty
of the Lantern Corps.
82
00:04:55,994 --> 00:04:58,779
Oh, don't get so high and mighty, lady.
83
00:04:58,847 --> 00:05:01,765
If you're smart,
you'll stay away from him, too.
84
00:05:01,833 --> 00:05:05,335
Otherwise, you'll wind up
reeking of his stench yourself.
85
00:05:05,403 --> 00:05:06,420
Cowards!
86
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:14,078
My friends, please!
87
00:05:14,146 --> 00:05:16,012
No weapons! No weapons!
88
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,382
You think I need this mace to take you down?
89
00:05:20,285 --> 00:05:21,501
[groans]
90
00:05:21,569 --> 00:05:22,903
[growling]
91
00:05:24,422 --> 00:05:25,873
Grrr.
92
00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:27,625
[grunting]
93
00:05:33,531 --> 00:05:35,149
[groans]
94
00:05:37,152 --> 00:05:38,168
Raah!
95
00:05:40,054 --> 00:05:40,988
Unh!
96
00:05:44,392 --> 00:05:46,326
[whines]
97
00:05:52,951 --> 00:05:54,301
Hah!
98
00:06:06,197 --> 00:06:07,297
Aah!
99
00:06:11,453 --> 00:06:13,320
Aah!
100
00:06:17,692 --> 00:06:18,809
No more.
101
00:06:18,877 --> 00:06:20,243
Hawkgirl's right.
102
00:06:20,311 --> 00:06:23,079
John Stewart’s one of us.
103
00:06:23,147 --> 00:06:24,749
And I'm going to help him.
104
00:06:37,846 --> 00:06:39,863
Flash: Have you asked yourself,
105
00:06:39,931 --> 00:06:41,998
Why this rush to judgment?
106
00:06:42,066 --> 00:06:44,635
If the ring wasn't lit,
107
00:06:44,703 --> 00:06:47,154
You must acquit.
And furthermore--
108
00:06:47,222 --> 00:06:49,456
Enough! You're just wasting time.
109
00:06:49,523 --> 00:06:50,590
Who? Me?
110
00:06:50,658 --> 00:06:52,977
Kilowog: Out of my way.
111
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:55,162
[crowd murmuring]
112
00:06:57,832 --> 00:06:59,499
Now what?
113
00:06:59,567 --> 00:07:01,835
Looks like we've got a surprise witness.
114
00:07:01,903 --> 00:07:04,571
Surprise witness?
He was nowhere near the crime.
115
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:06,657
What kind of witness can he be?
116
00:07:06,725 --> 00:07:08,642
A big scary one.
117
00:07:13,431 --> 00:07:15,365
See anything wrong with this picture?
118
00:07:15,433 --> 00:07:16,900
Where do I start?
119
00:07:16,968 --> 00:07:19,837
The loss of life,
the echoes of our own pasts.
120
00:07:19,904 --> 00:07:22,740
No, not up there. Down here.
121
00:07:22,807 --> 00:07:24,140
It can't be.
122
00:07:24,208 --> 00:07:25,576
But it is.
123
00:07:25,643 --> 00:07:28,278
This moon is still orbiting a
planet which doesn't exist.
124
00:07:28,346 --> 00:07:30,014
It should have flown off into space
125
00:07:30,082 --> 00:07:31,515
The moment the planet was destroyed.
126
00:07:31,583 --> 00:07:33,867
But it didn't, did it?
127
00:07:33,935 --> 00:07:36,504
Kilowog: And the Nethorians would have
gotten me for sure
128
00:07:36,571 --> 00:07:38,255
If it hadn't been for John Stewart.
129
00:07:38,323 --> 00:07:41,041
He saved my life,
and risked his own to do it.
130
00:07:41,109 --> 00:07:43,810
That's the kind of guy he is.
131
00:07:43,878 --> 00:07:45,779
Flash: Thank you, Kilowog.
132
00:07:45,847 --> 00:07:47,731
John couldn't have asked for a
better character witness.
133
00:07:47,799 --> 00:07:49,015
Your turn.
134
00:07:49,083 --> 00:07:50,935
Kilowog, can you tell me
135
00:07:51,002 --> 00:07:53,336
Exactly what a Green Lantern does?
136
00:07:53,404 --> 00:07:56,039
Oh, that's easy. We catch bad guys.
137
00:07:56,107 --> 00:07:57,291
Commendable.
138
00:07:57,359 --> 00:07:59,576
But how do you know who the bad guys are?
139
00:07:59,644 --> 00:08:02,880
How? Uh, I just know.
140
00:08:02,948 --> 00:08:04,164
Oh, so, you're saying
141
00:08:04,232 --> 00:08:06,533
You use your obviously superior intellect
142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,136
To routinely sort out
matters of life and death?
143
00:08:09,204 --> 00:08:11,088
I didn't say--
I mean...
144
00:08:11,156 --> 00:08:12,823
Well, yeah. Kind of.
145
00:08:12,891 --> 00:08:14,625
And then you and the other Green Lanterns
146
00:08:14,692 --> 00:08:18,712
...enforce these decisions
with those incredibly deadly rings.
147
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:21,465
I guess you could put it that way.
148
00:08:21,532 --> 00:08:23,634
Who said you could do this?
149
00:08:23,701 --> 00:08:25,469
Who gave you the right?
150
00:08:25,537 --> 00:08:27,137
Man: We did.
151
00:08:27,204 --> 00:08:29,023
[crowd murmuring]
152
00:08:37,515 --> 00:08:40,651
J'onn, I hope you're doing better than I am.
153
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:42,319
All I see are craters.
154
00:08:42,386 --> 00:08:45,005
Well, I have found something,
but I'm not sure what.
155
00:08:54,216 --> 00:08:56,016
Superman: Any idea what this thing does?
156
00:08:56,084 --> 00:08:57,501
When I was a child on Mars,
157
00:08:57,568 --> 00:08:59,670
We had small toys called Illusitrons.
158
00:08:59,738 --> 00:09:01,672
They could project crude images
159
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:03,774
Over objects and even empty space.
160
00:09:03,842 --> 00:09:05,459
And you think this is a larger version.
161
00:09:05,527 --> 00:09:07,995
The engineering principles appear to be the same.
162
00:09:08,062 --> 00:09:09,596
So, it's an illusion.
163
00:09:09,663 --> 00:09:11,699
It would explain why this moon's orbit
164
00:09:11,766 --> 00:09:13,366
Has remained intact.
165
00:09:13,602 --> 00:09:15,118
But who--
aah!
166
00:09:27,448 --> 00:09:30,150
The secret will stay buried with them.
167
00:09:30,217 --> 00:09:31,485
Aah!
168
00:09:33,171 --> 00:09:33,853
[growling]
169
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,601
This moon is filled with surprises.
170
00:09:47,669 --> 00:09:48,919
[lasers firing]
171
00:09:55,510 --> 00:09:56,793
[beeping]
172
00:10:24,822 --> 00:10:27,023
I followed him here from Ajuris 5.
173
00:10:27,091 --> 00:10:29,093
I had to, uh, borrow
174
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,361
One of the defense forces' fighters.
175
00:10:31,429 --> 00:10:33,246
So, he's behind all this?
176
00:10:33,314 --> 00:10:34,648
Not exactly.
177
00:10:34,716 --> 00:10:37,000
Manhunter: It is time, brothers,
178
00:10:37,068 --> 00:10:40,103
Time to avenge 1,000 years of grievances.
179
00:10:40,171 --> 00:10:42,338
Time to regain our power and dignity.
180
00:10:42,406 --> 00:10:44,174
[all cheering]
181
00:10:47,178 --> 00:10:49,613
Our plan has worked flawlessly so far.
182
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,248
We've sown dissension among the Lantern Corps
183
00:10:52,316 --> 00:10:53,950
And stained their reputation forever.
184
00:10:54,018 --> 00:10:56,252
But beyond that, we've succeeded
185
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,855
In luring the leaders of
our most hated enemy
186
00:10:58,923 --> 00:11:00,757
Away from their home planet of Oa.
187
00:11:00,825 --> 00:11:02,959
Yes, they're here--
188
00:11:03,027 --> 00:11:04,395
The Guardians.
189
00:11:04,462 --> 00:11:05,980
All: Destroy them!
190
00:11:06,047 --> 00:11:08,582
Destroy them all!
191
00:11:08,649 --> 00:11:11,818
No, my brothers. Not here, not now.
192
00:11:11,886 --> 00:11:14,187
Our destiny lies elsewhere.
193
00:11:14,255 --> 00:11:17,841
But rest assured, the Guardians will burn,
194
00:11:17,908 --> 00:11:19,843
For we are the Manhunters!
195
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:23,430
All: No man escapes the Manhunters!
196
00:11:29,303 --> 00:11:31,037
It's true that we Guardians control
197
00:11:31,105 --> 00:11:33,306
the Lantern Corps' power source.
198
00:11:33,374 --> 00:11:35,241
But the individual Lanterns
199
00:11:35,309 --> 00:11:36,809
have complete autonomy.
200
00:11:36,877 --> 00:11:38,911
So, if one of them does something wrong,
201
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:40,313
It's not your fault.
202
00:11:40,381 --> 00:11:42,315
You misunderstand.
203
00:11:42,383 --> 00:11:43,950
We give them autonomy
204
00:11:44,018 --> 00:11:46,185
Because we trust their experience and--
205
00:11:46,253 --> 00:11:48,671
No other questions!
206
00:11:48,739 --> 00:11:50,506
How much more must we hear?
207
00:11:50,574 --> 00:11:52,742
We demand an immediate judgment!
208
00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:53,543
I object!
209
00:11:53,694 --> 00:11:55,261
Judges: Overruled.
210
00:11:56,747 --> 00:11:57,980
Chief judge: Having heard all the facts,
211
00:11:58,048 --> 00:11:59,215
We will now consider.
212
00:12:01,151 --> 00:12:02,818
[crowd murmuring]
213
00:12:04,822 --> 00:12:06,623
I did everything I could.
214
00:12:06,690 --> 00:12:07,891
I wish you hadn't.
215
00:12:15,165 --> 00:12:16,832
That was fast.
216
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:18,601
Chief judge: The facts are clear.
217
00:12:18,669 --> 00:12:21,187
John Stewart is guilty.
218
00:12:21,255 --> 00:12:23,139
Female judge: Do you wish to make a statement
219
00:12:23,206 --> 00:12:25,007
Before we pass sentence?
220
00:12:25,075 --> 00:12:27,193
No.
221
00:12:27,261 --> 00:12:28,494
Very well.
222
00:12:28,562 --> 00:12:31,164
The sentence is termination
223
00:12:31,231 --> 00:12:33,432
For you and your advocate.
224
00:12:47,048 --> 00:12:48,631
Whoa. Time out!
225
00:12:48,699 --> 00:12:51,284
I want an appeal.
226
00:12:51,352 --> 00:12:54,187
Will you show some dignity
for once in your life?
227
00:12:54,255 --> 00:12:56,189
This isn't right. We can't just sit here.
228
00:12:56,257 --> 00:12:59,009
We have to. Think of the others like us.
229
00:12:59,076 --> 00:13:00,844
We all need to be held accountable.
230
00:13:00,911 --> 00:13:03,129
We have too much power not to be.
231
00:13:08,769 --> 00:13:10,469
Uhh! Unh!
232
00:13:41,501 --> 00:13:42,952
Superman: Stop!
233
00:13:52,863 --> 00:13:54,814
How dare you!
234
00:13:54,881 --> 00:13:56,465
John's innocent!
235
00:13:56,533 --> 00:13:59,702
That's your cue, Hawkgirl.
Hope you can hear me.
236
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:01,937
Loud and clear.
237
00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:04,323
[growls]
238
00:14:17,421 --> 00:14:18,921
[crowd murmuring]
239
00:14:22,826 --> 00:14:25,361
Superman: Ajuris 4 was never destroyed.
240
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:27,096
It's right where it always was.
241
00:14:27,164 --> 00:14:28,698
It was all an illusion,
242
00:14:28,766 --> 00:14:31,100
A frame-up, as they say on my planet.
243
00:14:31,168 --> 00:14:32,201
You!
244
00:14:32,269 --> 00:14:33,436
Aah!
245
00:14:34,321 --> 00:14:36,339
Why did you do this to me? Why?!
246
00:14:36,407 --> 00:14:38,257
For...
For money.
247
00:14:38,325 --> 00:14:39,542
Whose money?
248
00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:40,609
The Manhunters'.
249
00:14:44,781 --> 00:14:46,198
Come on!
250
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:47,850
G.L.!
251
00:15:06,553 --> 00:15:07,820
We're too late.
252
00:15:07,888 --> 00:15:09,488
We have to go back immediately.
253
00:15:14,128 --> 00:15:15,578
Not so fast.
254
00:15:18,782 --> 00:15:19,915
What's going on?
255
00:15:19,983 --> 00:15:21,584
We don't have time for this.
256
00:15:24,087 --> 00:15:25,288
Where are the Manhunters?
257
00:15:25,355 --> 00:15:26,639
Headed back to Oa.
258
00:15:26,707 --> 00:15:29,024
Back to Oa? They've been there before?
259
00:15:29,092 --> 00:15:31,494
Yes. We created them there.
260
00:15:31,562 --> 00:15:32,861
Say what?
261
00:15:32,929 --> 00:15:35,665
It was before the Lantern Corps.
262
00:15:35,733 --> 00:15:38,668
We thought robots would make good peacekeepers,
263
00:15:38,736 --> 00:15:40,236
But they were flawed.
264
00:15:40,304 --> 00:15:42,922
They couldn't understand the subtle gradations
265
00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:44,557
Between good and evil.
266
00:15:44,624 --> 00:15:45,975
Why didn't you decommission them?
267
00:15:46,043 --> 00:15:48,561
We reprogrammed them for lesser duties--
268
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:50,362
Tracking, hunting, guarding.
269
00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:52,197
They didn't seem to object.
270
00:15:52,265 --> 00:15:54,367
Not out loud, anyway.
271
00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:22,712
Don't let up, brothers! They're weakening!
272
00:16:45,502 --> 00:16:48,120
They can't hide in there forever.
Rip it open!
273
00:16:52,909 --> 00:16:54,177
Rip them to--
274
00:16:58,115 --> 00:16:59,866
They can't stop us, brothers.
275
00:16:59,933 --> 00:17:01,000
No one can!
276
00:17:11,895 --> 00:17:12,578
Got your back.
277
00:17:14,631 --> 00:17:15,247
Look out!
278
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:26,275
Use the gun! The gun!
279
00:18:12,606 --> 00:18:14,123
You three take the north tower.
280
00:18:14,191 --> 00:18:16,075
Kilowog and I will take the south.
281
00:18:25,252 --> 00:18:26,552
[roaring]
282
00:18:49,159 --> 00:18:50,359
Aah!
283
00:18:55,249 --> 00:18:58,684
Manhunter, stop!
284
00:18:58,752 --> 00:19:01,587
Not till we've regained what is rightfully ours.
285
00:19:01,654 --> 00:19:02,972
Yours?
286
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:06,158
The power that the Guardians stole from us.
287
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:12,364
It was never yours.
288
00:19:12,432 --> 00:19:14,683
It was always the Guardians'.
289
00:19:14,751 --> 00:19:16,151
And they betrayed us,
290
00:19:16,219 --> 00:19:18,004
Just as they betrayed you.
291
00:19:19,089 --> 00:19:21,157
Aah!
292
00:19:21,225 --> 00:19:23,225
This power's our destiny.
293
00:19:28,348 --> 00:19:29,047
No!
294
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,168
Aah!
295
00:19:35,555 --> 00:19:36,221
Aah!
296
00:19:45,448 --> 00:19:48,667
Now I am the power!
297
00:20:04,134 --> 00:20:05,968
All is lost.
298
00:20:08,504 --> 00:20:10,072
Not while I'm standing.
299
00:20:12,926 --> 00:20:16,278
In brightest day, in blackest night,
300
00:20:16,346 --> 00:20:19,698
No evil shall escape my sight.
301
00:20:19,766 --> 00:20:21,466
[howling]
302
00:20:27,507 --> 00:20:30,092
Let those who worship evil's might...
303
00:20:33,380 --> 00:20:35,481
Beware my power--
304
00:20:35,548 --> 00:20:36,966
Green Lantern's light!
305
00:20:40,036 --> 00:20:42,254
No!
306
00:20:50,096 --> 00:20:53,632
We chose wisely when
we offered you the ring.
307
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,968
Thank you, John Stewart.
308
00:21:04,194 --> 00:21:06,495
You're some fighter, lady.
309
00:21:06,562 --> 00:21:09,281
But we already knew that, didn't we?
310
00:21:09,349 --> 00:21:10,616
[laughter]
311
00:21:15,154 --> 00:21:18,174
John, good work.
312
00:21:18,241 --> 00:21:21,294
I guess we were wrong about you, John.
313
00:21:21,361 --> 00:21:23,578
We should have known better.
314
00:21:23,646 --> 00:21:26,832
Yeah, you should have.
315
00:21:35,308 --> 00:21:38,009
Are you all right, John?
316
00:21:38,077 --> 00:21:39,211
You believed in me,
317
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:40,913
Even when I didn't believe in myself.
318
00:21:40,981 --> 00:21:42,832
Hey, what are friends for?
319
00:21:48,221 --> 00:21:49,955
Green Lantern: Let's go home.
