1
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,990
You're late. What happened?

2
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:26,480
There were difficulties.

3
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:28,960
- Mist, Livewire and...
- I know this part.

4
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:31,200
- Skip to the...
- You want to tell it?

5
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,840
Mist, Livewire and Shade

6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,940
- made their move tonight
on STAR labs, Detroit. - _

7
00:00:45,014 --> 00:00:46,749
What's he waiting for?

8
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:50,000
Oh, I'm finding the darkness within.

9
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:09,940
Two points.

10
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,960
Didn't think I'd actually
score on this mission.

11
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:14,740
- This is it.
- The photo didn't indicate scale.

12
00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:16,900
It's larger than I was led to believe.

13
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,000
I thought size doesn't matter.

14
00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:35,960
We're out of time.

15
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,600
That's a lot to swallow.

16
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:43,130
You got to stop handing
me these straight lines.

17
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,420
Just need a minute.

18
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,910
- We don't have a minute.
- Freeze!

19
00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:49,440
Do not move!

20
00:01:51,610 --> 00:01:52,880
You're here.

21
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:55,010
You're my team, I watch your back...

METROPOLIS
SEPTEMBER, 24 23:18 EDT

24
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:49,900
Maybe I made the wrong decision...

25
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:51,700
Quittin' when I did.

26
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:53,540
Right when the league
was splittin' in half,

27
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,960
I left Kaldur understaffed
and Virgil in the lurch.

28
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,510
Maybe I need to go back.

29
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:01,810
Best pillow-talk ever.

30
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,010
Sorry, it's, um...

31
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,980
It's been a while.

32
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:08,050
I'm teasing, Jeff.

33
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,490
The bottom line is you
left for a reason.

34
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:12,860
Has anything really changed?

35
00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:14,340
No.

36
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,330
The League used to be about
helping people. Period.

37
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,230
Now it's all politics.

38
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,730
And Bats, he's still
playing CEO of Batman Inc.

39
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,900
I'm better off freelancing with...

40
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:31,940
Ah, speak of the devil.

41
00:03:32,043 --> 00:03:33,995
HAPPY HARBOR
SEPTEMBER, 25 23:43 EDT

42
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,010
Recognized.

43
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,980
Pierce, Jefferson.

44
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:38,380
G01.

45
00:03:38,450 --> 00:03:39,680
Good. We're all here.

46
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,090
All? Where's Conner?

47
00:03:41,150 --> 00:03:42,890
Mending fences with Megan.

48
00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:44,860
Didn't know their fence was broken.

49
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,520
No, it's not so much broken as

50
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:48,660
left unattended for too long.

51
00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:50,460
Ah, right.

52
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:53,830
Lynn and I had fence problems...

53
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,170
Before the divorce.

54
00:03:55,230 --> 00:03:57,540
Must we maintain the "fence" metaphor

55
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,040
or can we find out why
we've all been summoned?

56
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,970
Okay. I need you to maintain your cool.

57
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,260
We've located someone who might have

58
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:06,870
some intel on the League of Shadows.

59
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,380
Meaning we'll finally find my sister?

60
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,680
That's wonderful.

61
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:12,480
Not so wonderful.

62
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:14,620
The intel would be from my sister.

63
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:16,920
Lian's mother? That's great.

64
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:19,160
Not so great.

65
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:21,060
She may not be very cooperative.

66
00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,960
Not very cooperative? That's excellent.

67
00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:26,960
Not so excellent?

68
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:28,040
No.

69
00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:31,470
Forager is good at this game.

70
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:33,970
Our understanding is she's wounded,

71
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,310
a cornered animal.

72
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:37,110
That makes her dangerous.

73
00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:39,940
Are we going or not?

74
00:04:39,945 --> 00:04:43,000
DETROIT
SEPTEMBER 26, 00:56 EDT

75
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,650
You know, Cheshire,

76
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,220
most of my patients prefer to be sedated

77
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,590
while under the knife
to remove a bullet.

78
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:55,960
One would almost believe you
don't trust your physician.

79
00:04:57,190 --> 00:04:59,260
And one would be right.

80
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:01,800
But don't take it personally, Dr. Moon.

81
00:05:01,870 --> 00:05:03,570
I don't even trust myself.

82
00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:04,870
Cheshire, we have company.

83
00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:07,000
Keep them busy. Time to go, Doctor.

84
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:19,940
She's not going anywhere.

85
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:24,360
So you're Black Lightning.

86
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:26,390
Heard you quit the Justice League.

87
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:28,840
Must've known you were obsolete.

88
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,900
Wearing yourself out?

89
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:40,600
It's a two-way street, kid.

90
00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:42,970
I can't touch you, but you can't...

91
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,290
Sorry. Really don't want to do this.

92
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:01,979
Forager!

93
00:06:01,980 --> 00:06:03,190
Halo!

94
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:13,900
Sorry. Really sorry.

95
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,940
Ow! That hurts.

96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,460
Go head, zap me!

97
00:06:35,530 --> 00:06:37,630
Absorbing lightning's totally my thing.

98
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,030
You've never had Black Lightning before.

99
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,600
Geo-Force, return him now.

100
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:48,340
Hmm, no.

101
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,380
I think we'll just keep
him bottled for a while,

102
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:53,340
or forever.

103
00:06:53,410 --> 00:06:54,580
Bring him back!

104
00:06:54,650 --> 00:06:56,210
You have to bring him back!

105
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:22,560
- Are you all right?
- I'm...

106
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,000
fine.

107
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:25,960
What happened?

108
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,180
Halo happened.

109
00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:35,920
Get out of here! You have no right...

110
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,490
Oh.

111
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,230
It seems the doctor is out.

112
00:07:41,290 --> 00:07:43,630
I'm glad you're alive.

113
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:45,920
But I have two questions
and one statement.

114
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:48,319
Who is running the
League of Shadows now?

115
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,869
And from where?

116
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:53,700
You know I have no
loyalty to the Shadows.

117
00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:55,960
But I honestly don't
know who's running them.

118
00:07:57,070 --> 00:07:58,280
I do know

119
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,600
they're being run out of Santa Prisca.

120
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:02,250
Happy?

121
00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:03,960
Ecstatic.

122
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,920
How's...

123
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,950
How's Lian?

124
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,680
Oh. Well, that brings
me to my statement.

125
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,390
Go see your kid!

126
00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:13,640
Come on, sis.

127
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:15,980
We both know she's
better off without me.

128
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:17,920
You're her mother.

129
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,020
But I'll always be...

130
00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:23,960
Cheshire first.

131
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
See you later, sis.

132
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,980
Hug...

133
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:31,960
Hug Lian for me.

134
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:41,180
Nightwing, Cheshire and Shade escaped.

135
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,920
But, I have Dr. Moon,

136
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:45,390
and the League of Shadows' intel.

137
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:55,840
You're late. Report.

138
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,400
Right. So,

139
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:58,500
per your orders,

140
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,720
and since his release from
Arkham six months ago...

141
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,670
- _ - I've been keeping occasional
tabs on Jervis Tetch,

142
00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:06,180
aka The Mad Hatter.

143
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,150
Two weeks ago, I brought along my squad.

144
00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:10,960
Spoiler, Arrowette and Orphan.

145
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:11,990
That's Tetch?

146
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,940
For a Mad Hatter, he's
kind of, well, hatless.

147
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,190
No hats. It's a condition of his parole.

148
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:20,060
Hmm. Good thing he's not
called The Mad Pantser.

149
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,730
He's heading for his night
job, right on schedule.

150
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:24,390
- Although...
- The water?

151
00:09:24,460 --> 00:09:26,320
- Yeah.
- Uh, water?

152
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,920
He's drinking a lot of it.

153
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:30,380
And awfully fast.

154
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:40,080
So, do we bust him for littering?

155
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,200
Hmm. Clay backwash.

156
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,420
Ugh. Gross.

157
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,080
- So, you're thinking...
- Yeah, it's possible anyway.

158
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:48,200
We need to find a way to check. Wait.

159
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,620
Where's Orphan?

160
00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:01,230
Did you know Tetch was really
Clayface, or just not care?

161
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:03,600
You're gonna regret that, kid.

162
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:19,720
Is Clayface an ally of Tetch's?

163
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:21,080
They're not buddies.

164
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:22,840
Which means Tetch is
probably controlling him.

165
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,659
Doesn't matter. We know where Tetch is,

166
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:25,979
so forget Clayface.

167
00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:27,060
Let's go get Hatter!

168
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:32,140
We don't know where Tetch is.

169
00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:34,070
But Clayface clearly does,

170
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:36,470
and I tossed a liquid tracker on him.

171
00:10:36,530 --> 00:10:39,340
Nice.

172
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,440
Now, this won't hurt a bit,

173
00:10:42,510 --> 00:10:45,280
or it may be agonizing.

174
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:47,940
Hard to say.

175
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,980
_

176
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:55,920
_

177
00:10:56,850 --> 00:10:59,980
Now, let's test it, shall we?

178
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:02,560
Raise your right hand.

179
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:04,600
Very good. Very good.

180
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:05,900
But too easy.

181
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:07,960
Punch yourself.

182
00:11:08,030 --> 00:11:09,920
Hard!

183
00:11:16,670 --> 00:11:19,110
Oh, what are you doing here?

184
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,610
I had to protect you.

185
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,980
From what?

186
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:27,920
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

187
00:11:27,950 --> 00:11:31,060
Yes! Yes! Clayface, protect me!

188
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,190
Shield me!

189
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,360
You, time to go.

190
00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:36,940
*Follow, follow, follow*

191
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,070
What is this place? What's Tetch up to?

192
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:48,960
I'll find out. Arrowette, Orphan,

193
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,510
run interference with Clayface.

194
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,920
Spoiler, go after Hatter.

195
00:11:58,550 --> 00:12:01,840
Self-destruct button.

196
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,860
Well, what part of Mad
Hatter didn't you get?

197
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,588
Now, *follow, follow, follow*

198
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,920
That hurts!

199
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:47,060
Everyone, out of the building! Now!

200
00:12:47,130 --> 00:12:49,180
I lost Tetch and whoever
he was running with!

201
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,940
Worry later! Get out now!

202
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:00,710
You too, Hagen! The
building's going to explode.

203
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,920
Must protect Hatter!

204
00:13:14,730 --> 00:13:15,960
Clayface...

205
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:18,220
He didn't make it.

206
00:13:21,970 --> 00:13:23,970
I think he'll be fine,

207
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640
and really angry at Jervis Tetch.

208
00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:37,360
She is late.

209
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:38,820
She's calling from half-way

210
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
across the galaxy, give her a minute.

211
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,200
Sorry, I'm late.

212
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:46,220
Had to bounce a signal from the
Javelin to the Watchtower to you.

213
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:48,590
- Break it down for me.
- Of course.

214
00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:50,500
It began several weeks ago.

215
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,960
Two meta-prisoners were
loaded on a transport

216
00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:55,960
to take them to a secured
flight to Belle Reve.

217
00:13:57,834 --> 00:14:01,167
STAR CITY
SEPTEMBER 10, 10:01 EDT

218
00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:07,019
Have I mentioned that I love this gig?

219
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:08,510
'Cause I really love this gig.

220
00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:11,240
Kid, when you've been at
this as long as I have,

221
00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:13,940
what you'll love is just
getting through the day.

222
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400
Oh, come on. We're putting
bad guys where they belong.

223
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:18,880
I mean, you can't tell me part
of you doesn't love this gig.

224
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,260
All right. Sure.

225
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,940
Part of me loves this gig...

226
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,960
Okay. Yeah, I totally love this gig.

227
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,540
Look out!

228
00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:34,900
How terrific.

229
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,240
A hockey puck, really?

230
00:14:37,260 --> 00:14:38,480
Really.

231
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:43,530
Kadabra, anytime!

232
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,550
Kind of a rocky ride.

233
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:52,360
Beggars can't be choosers.

234
00:14:54,340 --> 00:14:56,160
Now that's more like it.

235
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,560
Now, gentlemen, let's be off.
Time is not on our side.

236
00:14:59,630 --> 00:15:01,380
Neither are we!

237
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,010
No! No! No!

238
00:15:09,070 --> 00:15:10,640
Please, keep punching.

239
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:11,960
Kadabra!

240
00:15:13,410 --> 00:15:16,580
Yes. Yes. Fear not...

241
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,600
Better get while the getting's good.

242
00:15:28,030 --> 00:15:29,920
Oh, no, you don't.

243
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Oh, yeah, they did.

244
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:39,040
Oh, man. I got the worst luck.

245
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,100
Trust me.

246
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,740
You have no idea just how lucky you are.

247
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,260
We held on to Brick

248
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,950
and captured Abra Kadabra, but...

249
00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:53,920
- Sportsmaster got away with
the other prisoner. - GOTHAM CITY.

250
00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:55,550
- SEPTEMBER 25. 02:24 EDT
Still, over the last few weeks

251
00:15:55,620 --> 00:15:56,659
we've managed to cripple

252
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:59,140
the Branchwater chain of
meta-human traffickers.

253
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,190
Branchwater?

254
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:02,130
A so-called security firm

255
00:16:02,190 --> 00:16:04,230
owned by series of shell companies

256
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:06,730
that trace back to Stagg Industries

257
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,600
and its majority shareholder,

258
00:16:08,670 --> 00:16:10,040
Simon Stagg.

259
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,000
Branchwater uses different methods,

260
00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:13,920
but is easily as bad as Bedlam.

261
00:16:14,210 --> 00:16:16,680
It's basically a
meta-crime covert ops unit

262
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:18,780
that Stagg used for corporate espionage.

263
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,400
Or corporate warfare.

264
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Diana, we had identified

265
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,720
three links in the Branchwater chain,

266
00:16:23,780 --> 00:16:26,380
acquisition, coercion and utilization.

267
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,460
Link one, acquisition.

268
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,020
Instead of creating new
meta-humans as Bedlam did,

269
00:16:32,090 --> 00:16:34,360
Sportsmaster liberated existing metas

270
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:36,480
from prisons and transports.

271
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:38,700
Clayface, Livewire and Mist,

272
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,430
had all been taken while
en route to Belle Reve.

273
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,930
Link two, coercion.

274
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,870
Instead of Bedlam's control chips

275
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,720
Branchwater had Mad Hatter inject

276
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:49,240
its newly liberated
convicts with nanotech

277
00:16:49,310 --> 00:16:51,960
that forced them to follow
Branchwater's commands.

278
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:53,940
Okay, yeah, they're criminals.

279
00:16:54,210 --> 00:16:56,850
But they're criminals being
victimized by Stagg.

280
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,619
Clayface, Livewire and Mist

281
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:01,620
were all discovered to have
Hatter's nanotech in their systems.

282
00:17:01,690 --> 00:17:05,160
Which would've been Brick's fate
had he also been liberated.

283
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:07,460
Finally, link three, utilization.

284
00:17:07,530 --> 00:17:09,590
Cheshire ran missions for Branchwater

285
00:17:09,630 --> 00:17:10,700
using the controlled metas

286
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,200
for whatever Stagg wanted or needed.

287
00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:14,800
Cheshire, working with Sportsmaster?

288
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:16,200
I thought she hated her father.

289
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:17,760
It's unclear if either knew

290
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:20,000
both were employed by
the same organization.

291
00:17:20,070 --> 00:17:21,400
So the end result?

292
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:24,010
Well, for starters, no one's
being coerced anymore.

293
00:17:24,070 --> 00:17:25,640
I found one of Hatter's control devices

294
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:26,780
before his place blew up.

295
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,950
Clayface,

296
00:17:28,010 --> 00:17:29,160
I forever release you

297
00:17:29,180 --> 00:17:31,890
from all external mental
control of your actions.

298
00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:34,320
Thanks, kid.

299
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:37,440
I used the same device to
release Livewire and Mist

300
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:40,090
after Nightwing's group
left the Detroit airfield.

301
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,460
Clayface, Kadabra, Brick and Moon

302
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,130
are now in Belle Reve cells.

303
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,500
And Mist and Livewire?

304
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,460
They are minors, not hardened criminals.

305
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:50,370
We believe they are salvageable,

306
00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:52,700
and are seeking another
solution for them both.

307
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,000
And what about this Stagg?

308
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:55,480
Conner and I took care of him.

309
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:57,940
We busted him for receiving
stolen property.

310
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:01,050
The Reach device Cheshire's
group took from STAR.

311
00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:03,080
What does this Reach device do?

312
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:04,420
Why did Stagg want it?

313
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,900
That's unclear.

314
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,620
It was salvaged from a Reach warship

315
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,840
downed during the battle
against the Warworld.

316
00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:12,220
Blue Beetle had previously
translated the Reach text

317
00:18:12,290 --> 00:18:13,660
on the side of the machine,

318
00:18:13,730 --> 00:18:16,560
and all it says is,
"Meta-human fail-safe."

319
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:19,100
We believe Stagg had grown paranoid.

320
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,730
Because he was using
metas against others,

321
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:24,440
he feared someone else might
use metas against him.

322
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,370
He thought the machine
would protect him against

323
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,010
the "scary meta-world" he
himself was helping to create.

324
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:31,310
And it cost him,

325
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:33,200
because I anonymously forwarded

326
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:35,250
the evidence we gathered
to the authorities.

327
00:18:35,310 --> 00:18:37,960
And right about now...

328
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,190
Nice timing.

329
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:44,290
And where's the Reach device currently?

330
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,320
En route back to Dr. Stone
at STAR labs, Detroit.

331
00:18:47,390 --> 00:18:48,890
And I'm sure he'll be able to figure out

332
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:51,430
its true purpose safely.

333
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:53,000
Right now, I'm more concerned

334
00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:55,770
about Branchwater's most
recent acquisition.

335
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:57,070
Shade.

336
00:18:57,130 --> 00:18:59,440
Sportsmaster liberated him.

337
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:02,810
Turning him over to Hatter for
a nanotech control injection,

338
00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:06,580
so that he wound up as Cheshire's
mind-controlled stooge.

339
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:09,920
Which means he's still subject
to her manipulations.

340
00:19:10,180 --> 00:19:12,000
Cheshire's not about to free him...

341
00:19:12,450 --> 00:19:14,820
Without significant incentive.

342
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:16,440
But at least Stagg,

343
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:19,460
who was responsible for turning
him into a living puppet,

344
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,920
is no longer pulling Shade's strings.

345
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:32,870
So this is a win?

346
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:34,840
Largely. What troubles you?

347
00:19:34,910 --> 00:19:35,940
This.

348
00:19:36,010 --> 00:19:37,340
All of this.

349
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,280
Between the seven of us, we're
coordinating six teams of heroes.

350
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:42,210
None of whom know we're
working together.

351
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,420
It's what we all agreed to, Diana.

352
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,820
Taking a page from the
Light's own playbook,

353
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,680
to fight fire with fire.

354
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:50,220
We're kind of, the anti-Light.

355
00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:51,920
And that's a good thing?

356
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:54,330
The opposite of light is darkness.

357
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:56,190
Is that what we represent?

358
00:19:56,260 --> 00:19:59,100
Um, maybe that was a
poor choice of words.

359
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,740
Or maybe it wasn't.

360
00:20:00,770 --> 00:20:03,270
I don't like keeping the other
members of the League in the dark.

361
00:20:03,330 --> 00:20:06,340
Worst-case scenario, they
need real deniability.

362
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,110
Do you expect Superman

363
00:20:08,170 --> 00:20:09,710
to lie under oath?

364
00:20:09,730 --> 00:20:11,180
Do you expect me to?

365
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,510
If it comes to that.

366
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,280
As a princess of Themyscira,

367
00:20:14,350 --> 00:20:16,500
I expect you to use
your diplomatic status

368
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,360
to avoid taking the stand at all.

369
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,350
And the rest of you?

370
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:21,960
Are you all prepared to lie?

371
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,920
