1
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:08,407
Previously on Justice League...
2
00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:09,876
This is U.S.S. Defiant.
3
00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:11,878
We are under attack and
have sustained heavy damage.
4
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:13,495
We are going down.
5
00:00:13,563 --> 00:00:15,765
Let it sink.
6
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:22,805
All this could have been avoided.
7
00:00:22,872 --> 00:00:25,391
Come and air your grievances
at the world assembly.
8
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:26,609
Negotiate for peace.
9
00:00:26,677 --> 00:00:29,895
Mera, what kind of future
am I making for our son?
10
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:31,597
Man: First you sink a nuclear submarine,
11
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:33,632
And then you threaten us to make peace.
12
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,101
Who gave you the right?
13
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:37,553
I knew we couldn't trust that fishman.
14
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:39,639
The sub's been stripped,
and the plutonium is gone.
15
00:00:42,392 --> 00:00:45,161
You tried to kill Aquaman. Why?
16
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:47,330
Spanish doubloons.
17
00:00:47,397 --> 00:00:49,031
Where would they get coins like this?
18
00:00:49,099 --> 00:00:50,166
Atlantis.
19
00:00:50,233 --> 00:00:52,468
Now is the time for mighty Atlantis
20
00:00:52,536 --> 00:00:54,453
To rise up and strike terror
21
00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:56,422
Into the hearts of its enemies.
22
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:58,507
Orm! What treason is this?
23
00:00:58,574 --> 00:00:59,775
I'm only doing
24
00:00:59,843 --> 00:01:02,228
What you never had the courage to do.
25
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:05,330
I'm in charge now.
26
00:02:09,096 --> 00:02:10,829
For years, I've stood in your shadow
27
00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:13,649
And watched while you
led Atlantis to the brink of ruin.
28
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:15,517
I'll stand no more,
29
00:02:15,585 --> 00:02:17,436
And neither will your generals.
30
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:20,222
This is a battle we should have fought years ago,
31
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:23,025
But you betrayed us by siding with our enemies.
32
00:02:23,092 --> 00:02:24,977
[grunting]
33
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:27,897
Unh! Ohh.
34
00:02:31,618 --> 00:02:33,019
Take him away.
35
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,057
General Brak, ready your troops at once.
36
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:39,191
Yes, my lord.
37
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:48,767
Orm, they said my husband has returned.
38
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:50,018
Is it true?
39
00:02:50,086 --> 00:02:51,570
I wish it were,
40
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:53,806
But it's only an unfounded rumor.
41
00:02:53,873 --> 00:02:56,242
I've tried to be strong,
42
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:57,743
But without him...
43
00:02:57,761 --> 00:02:59,195
Don't worry, Mera.
44
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:00,896
I'll take care of you
45
00:03:00,964 --> 00:03:02,314
And your son.
46
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:03,649
My son?
47
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:05,567
I've already taken the precaution
48
00:03:05,635 --> 00:03:07,887
Of placing him under my protection.
49
00:03:14,143 --> 00:03:15,528
[gasps]
50
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:19,214
These are dangerous times, Mera.
51
00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:21,000
We can't be too careful.
52
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:22,300
Where is he?
53
00:03:22,368 --> 00:03:24,386
The prince will come to no harm
54
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:26,122
As long as you cooperate.
55
00:03:26,189 --> 00:03:28,073
How can you do this?
56
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,593
I assure you I am only doing
57
00:03:30,661 --> 00:03:33,162
What is best for Atlantis.
58
00:03:41,604 --> 00:03:43,139
Wonder Woman: We're almost there.
59
00:03:43,206 --> 00:03:45,074
Atlantis is just beyond that reef.
60
00:03:45,142 --> 00:03:47,610
Don't expect them to
welcome us with open arms.
61
00:03:47,677 --> 00:03:49,111
Set the ship down here.
62
00:03:49,178 --> 00:03:51,747
Maybe we can slip under their defenses.
63
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:53,799
Too late. They've already seen us.
64
00:03:56,886 --> 00:03:58,587
If it's a fight they want, they've got it.
65
00:03:58,655 --> 00:03:59,755
Wait!
66
00:03:59,823 --> 00:04:01,022
Remember why we're here.
67
00:04:03,627 --> 00:04:04,927
Superman: Hold your fire.
68
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:07,780
We come with an urgent
message for your king.
69
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:09,431
How should we respond, general?
70
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:11,217
Destroy them.
71
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:13,085
[booming]
72
00:04:13,152 --> 00:04:14,587
Green Lantern: There's your answer.
73
00:04:19,125 --> 00:04:20,743
Oh! Unh!
74
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:21,844
Unh!
75
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:26,998
What? [gasps]
76
00:04:27,066 --> 00:04:29,084
Unh!
77
00:04:39,496 --> 00:04:40,662
Behind you!
78
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,201
Thanks.
79
00:04:46,269 --> 00:04:47,520
Aah! Aah!
80
00:04:55,661 --> 00:04:57,529
[grunting]
81
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:06,505
Aah!
82
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:14,964
This way.
83
00:05:16,216 --> 00:05:17,599
There it is.
84
00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:28,177
Not even close.
85
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:29,311
Aah!
86
00:05:29,379 --> 00:05:31,046
Oh!
87
00:05:31,114 --> 00:05:33,132
Depth charges.
88
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,217
Unh!
89
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:44,343
[electronic beeping]
90
00:05:48,498 --> 00:05:50,298
Worthless surface scum.
91
00:05:53,637 --> 00:05:54,854
[grunts]
92
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:57,205
Where's Aquaman?
93
00:05:57,273 --> 00:05:59,891
I thought your kind
already took care of him.
94
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:01,710
No. He came back here.
95
00:06:01,778 --> 00:06:04,997
Superman: We came to warn him about
a plot against his life--
96
00:06:05,064 --> 00:06:06,248
An Atlantian plot.
97
00:06:06,315 --> 00:06:09,335
Lies and deceptions!
98
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:10,936
Aah!
99
00:06:12,389 --> 00:06:14,139
I consider this latest incursion
100
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,825
Nothing less than an act of war.
101
00:06:18,327 --> 00:06:21,229
You will be executed as enemies of the crown.
102
00:06:21,297 --> 00:06:24,816
Then I will wipe out the surface world forever.
103
00:06:28,004 --> 00:06:29,871
[grunting]
104
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:47,005
Oh.
105
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:50,275
J'onn, can you phase free?
106
00:06:50,343 --> 00:06:52,327
No. Can't focus.
107
00:06:52,395 --> 00:06:55,664
Me neither. Some kind of synaptic discharge.
108
00:06:55,731 --> 00:06:57,515
Then we'll drown.
109
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,568
[grunting]
110
00:07:13,082 --> 00:07:15,451
Your troops are almost ready to depart, my lord.
111
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:16,735
Proceed, general.
112
00:07:16,803 --> 00:07:18,170
I will join you after I attend to
113
00:07:18,237 --> 00:07:20,172
Some unfinished business.
114

Which one will go first?
117
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,087
My money's on the girl.
118
00:07:35,155 --> 00:07:36,321
You think?
119
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,489
Aah!
120
00:07:37,557 --> 00:07:38,907
Aah! Oof!
121
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:46,715

125
00:08:14,127 --> 00:08:16,545
Thank you. But why...
126
00:08:16,612 --> 00:08:19,398
You believe someone in Atlantis
has betrayed my husband.
127
00:08:19,465 --> 00:08:21,233
I also fear for his life,
128
00:08:21,301 --> 00:08:22,434
But I need your help.
129
00:08:22,501 --> 00:08:23,902
Green Lantern: You've got it.
130
00:08:34,213 --> 00:08:35,714

00:08:48,227 --> 00:08:49,662
Getting rid of me
133
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:51,563
Won't make the people of Atlantis serve you.
134
00:08:51,631 --> 00:08:53,265
I know. That whole lineage thing
135
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:54,500
Could get messy.
136
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:57,302
Fortunately, I have a solution.
137
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,303
What do you mean?
138
00:09:00,673 --> 00:09:02,140
[baby crying]
139
00:09:04,744 --> 00:09:06,077
No!
140
00:09:15,087 --> 00:09:17,206
Your kingdom is truly magnificent.
141
00:09:17,274 --> 00:09:20,042
I see why Aquaman protects it so passionately.
142
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:23,445
Unfortunately, there are those
143
00:09:23,513 --> 00:09:25,214
Whose ambitions would destroy it.
144
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:28,901
Get down!

Stand back!

00:09:41,931 --> 00:09:43,415
Aah! Aah! Aah!
149
00:09:47,536 --> 00:09:49,137
Thank you.
150
00:09:49,205 --> 00:09:51,256

00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:04,086
A pity.
153
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:06,888
The young prince will be yet another innocent victim
154
00:10:06,956 --> 00:10:08,440
Of the surface dwellers' aggression.

[grunting]
156
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:14,763
Sadly, that will also make me

00:10:14,831 --> 00:10:17,199
The rightful heir to the throne.

00:10:28,928 --> 00:10:31,296
Well, I'm off to avenge your deaths.

We've searched the entire palace.
166
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:37,212
But there's still no sign of him.

Where is Orm?

I can't believe it.
177
00:12:31,149 --> 00:12:33,016
I told you he was a madman.
178
00:12:33,084 --> 00:12:34,701
Is it madness to sacrifice all
179
00:12:34,769 --> 00:12:36,086
For someone you love?
180
00:12:37,488 --> 00:12:39,623
Can't you work any faster?
181
00:12:39,691 --> 00:12:41,808
This is a delicate operation, my lord.
182
00:12:41,876 --> 00:12:43,643
It can't be rushed.

Thermal readings show temperatures increasing rapidly.

00:12:53,488 --> 00:12:54,838
If that continues,
188
00:12:54,906 --> 00:12:57,173
The ecological effects could be catastrophic.
189
00:12:57,241 --> 00:12:58,775
Then let's check it out.
190
00:12:58,843 --> 00:13:00,661
But what about the crisis here?
191
00:13:00,729 --> 00:13:02,129
There may be a connection.
192
00:13:02,196 --> 00:13:03,479
What do you mean?
193
00:13:03,547 --> 00:13:06,016
It's the doomsday thermal reactor.
194
00:13:06,083 --> 00:13:08,719
We designed it to create a polar meltdown.
195
00:13:08,786 --> 00:13:10,053
What?
196
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,639
I had it built as a weapon of last resort--
197
00:13:12,706 --> 00:13:16,226
To protect Atlantis should
the surface world ever attack.
198
00:13:16,293 --> 00:13:17,861
But I never armed it.
199
00:13:17,929 --> 00:13:19,529
Then Orm must have,
200
00:13:19,597 --> 00:13:21,848
Using the plutonium from the submarine.
201
00:13:21,916 --> 00:13:23,350
If the polar cap melts,
202
00:13:23,418 --> 00:13:25,285
The world will sink beneath the waves.
203
00:13:25,353 --> 00:13:26,820
Everything will be destroyed.
204
00:13:26,887 --> 00:13:28,238
Orm must be stopped.
205
00:13:28,305 --> 00:13:29,890
Aquaman: And he will be.
206
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:37,397
I'll see to it personally.
207
00:13:46,024 --> 00:13:48,342
[barking]
208
00:13:56,968 --> 00:13:58,385
Superman: Aquaman! Wait!
209
00:13:58,453 --> 00:13:59,920
Why do you follow?
210
00:14:01,722 --> 00:14:02,940
We want to help.
211
00:14:03,007 --> 00:14:04,357
This is my battle.
212
00:14:04,425 --> 00:14:06,142
No one asked you to fight it.
213
00:14:08,246 --> 00:14:10,447
Like it or not,
we have a stake in the outcome.
214
00:14:10,515 --> 00:14:11,732
We're not leaving.
215
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:13,416
Just stay out of my way.
216
00:14:32,086 --> 00:14:34,437
Soldiers of Atlantis, attack!
217
00:14:46,684 --> 00:14:47,968
Here we go again.
218
00:14:51,106 --> 00:14:54,090
Superman, the glaciers are already starting to melt.
219
00:14:54,158 --> 00:14:56,744
I know, but we've got our hands full here.
220
00:15:03,701 --> 00:15:05,268
Aah!
221
00:15:09,273 --> 00:15:10,524
Unh!
222
00:15:13,628 --> 00:15:14,494
Aah!
223
00:15:16,947 --> 00:15:18,114
Aah!
224
00:15:21,285 --> 00:15:23,103
Huh?
225
00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:24,137
Aah!
226
00:15:42,206 --> 00:15:43,273
Unh!
227
00:15:53,417 --> 00:15:54,985
For Atlantis!
228
00:16:12,503 --> 00:16:13,670
I saw it,
229
00:16:13,738 --> 00:16:15,539
But I still don't believe it.
230
00:16:15,606 --> 00:16:18,208
Stay with him. We'll handle things here.
231
00:16:27,785 --> 00:16:29,018
[exhales]
232
00:16:32,189 --> 00:16:34,358
[ice cracking]
233
00:17:00,118 --> 00:17:01,317
Aah!
234
00:17:01,385 --> 00:17:02,736
Ohh.
235
00:17:02,804 --> 00:17:04,771
Apparently, I underestimated you, brother--
236
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,090
A mistake I won't make again.
237
00:17:07,158 --> 00:17:08,241
Raah!
238
00:17:21,655 --> 00:17:23,190
There's not much time.
239
00:17:23,258 --> 00:17:24,424
If we can't shut that down,
240
00:17:24,491 --> 00:17:26,259
The entire world is doomed.
241
00:17:26,327 --> 00:17:29,029
Green Lantern: I suppose this is a bad time
to say I told you so.
242
00:17:29,097 --> 00:17:30,613
[both grunting]
243
00:17:35,352 --> 00:17:36,619
It's over.
244
00:17:36,687 --> 00:17:39,038
You're right, and you've lost.
245
00:17:45,196 --> 00:17:46,229
Unh!
246
00:17:48,215 --> 00:17:50,049
The tide is against you.
247
00:17:50,117 --> 00:17:52,235
The reactor can't be shut down.
248
00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:04,130
We're too late.
249
00:18:04,198 --> 00:18:05,432
Not yet.
250
00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:12,873
[both grunting]
251
00:18:16,227 --> 00:18:17,243
Unh!
252
00:18:26,687 --> 00:18:28,054
No good.
253
00:18:28,122 --> 00:18:30,123
I'll have to go inside and
manually shut it down.
254
00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:31,041
Inside?
255
00:18:31,108 --> 00:18:33,526
Your ring--
can it protect me?
256
00:18:33,594 --> 00:18:35,712
We'll find out.
257
00:18:50,744 --> 00:18:52,629
No! Get away from that.
258
00:18:56,383 --> 00:18:57,800
Orm! Stop!
259
00:18:59,053 --> 00:19:00,636
Still you defend them.
260
00:19:10,881 --> 00:19:12,332
[both grunting]
261
00:19:22,260 --> 00:19:24,193
Unh!
262
00:19:25,662 --> 00:19:27,981
You're not fit to wear the crown,
263
00:19:27,983 --> 00:19:30,100
You weak and gutless--
264
00:19:30,167 --> 00:19:31,184
Whoa!
265
00:19:34,772 --> 00:19:36,622
Please, brother!
266
00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:38,375
Help me!
267
00:19:43,113 --> 00:19:45,281
I believe this is mine.
268
00:19:46,651 --> 00:19:48,518
Aah!
269
00:19:52,623 --> 00:19:53,789
Hurry, Batman.
270
00:20:04,752 --> 00:20:07,020
It's shutting down. You did it.
271
00:20:07,088 --> 00:20:08,855
No...
272
00:20:08,923 --> 00:20:11,040
We did.
273
00:20:11,108 --> 00:20:13,042
Then the threat is over.
274
00:20:20,451 --> 00:20:22,352
Brak: And surely you must know, my lord,
275
00:20:22,419 --> 00:20:25,154
Our loyalty belongs to you and you alone.
276
00:20:25,222 --> 00:20:28,708
We never believed in Orm's plan,
but your brother forced us.
277
00:20:28,776 --> 00:20:31,927
The truth is we were only following orders.
278
00:20:31,995 --> 00:20:34,097
Get them out of my sight.
279
00:20:36,099 --> 00:20:37,467
[sighs]
280
00:20:37,535 --> 00:20:38,868
I can only blame myself.
281
00:20:38,935 --> 00:20:41,137
My fear of the surface dwellers blinded me
282
00:20:41,205 --> 00:20:43,306
To those I should have feared most,
283
00:20:43,374 --> 00:20:44,974
And it cost me dearly.
284
00:20:45,042 --> 00:20:46,543
Don't be too hard on yourself.
285
00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:48,345
Maybe we've all misjudged.
286
00:20:48,412 --> 00:20:50,480
Perhaps.
287
00:20:50,548 --> 00:20:53,483
All I want...
All I've ever wanted...
288
00:20:53,551 --> 00:20:56,018
Is peace and security for Atlantis.
289
00:20:58,239 --> 00:21:01,324
After what's happened, it won't be easy.
290
00:21:01,392 --> 00:21:04,644
I know, but some sacrifices are worth it.
