02x25 - Apokolips... Now!, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Sawyer, Special Crimes Unit.

A late-night deposit, inspector?

Yeah, some freshly laundered money
we swept up in our latest raid.

Won't those lntergang bums
ever learn Turpin's first law?

You play in my backyard,
you play by my rules.

Modest, isn't he?

Please tell me that's thunder.

Afraid not.

I guess they think
they can change the rules.

This is Sawyer. All units.

We need backup now!

Maggie!

Come back, you murdering scum!

-Come back!
-lt'd serve him right if we did come back.

Look out!

Fire the nova b*mb! Hurry!

Fire!

You shouldn't stay long, Dan.
She's still very weak.

-Hi.
-Hi, yourself.

Lying down on the job, huh?

Some days you're the windshield,
and some days you're the bug.

Forget it. You'll be back
busting my chops in no time.

Any leads on the heist?

Got our best people working on it.
I mean besides you.

Maggie, I swear I'll find
those filthy creeps.

-And when I do--
-Dan, these aren't simple street punks.

-Punks are punks, Maggie. I am gonna--
-No!

Promise me you'll keep
that temper in check.

Promise!

You got it. Turpin's word.

I'm gonna hold you to that, Dan.

Because it's all on you now.

Yeah, I know.

I tell you, it was beautiful, Bruno.

We jacked the loot
and left Superman kissing concrete.

A few more jobs like this
and I'll own Metropolis.

I gotta take this call.

You heard me! Out!

Darkseid.

We tried out the t*nk just like you said.

I did not return you to Earth
so you could indulge in petty theft.

Petty? We cleared over
million!

I play for higher stakes.

Do we understand each other?

Good.

Serve me well, Mannheim,
and I'll make you a king.

So you're saying not even Superman
could stop this thing?

I'm saying we can't always expect
one guy to save our sorry butts.

Even if he is Superman.

This time we'll have to
tackle it ourselves.

-Good luck.
-Hey, Turpin?

-Dan, Northstar Herald over here....

It almost looks alien.

Sure, Kent. Maybe it was a Martian
strapped for cash.

Superman!

Must warn Superman!

How's our mysterious visitor doing, Emil?

His wounds are healing
at a phenomenal rate.

He's fully conscious,
and in quite a rage to see--

Superman! Get me Superman!

Freeze, bucket-head! One more move
and you're back in intensive care!

Hold it, inspector!

Everybody calm down!

I didn't fight my way through a battalion
of Para-demons to be told to calm down!

And they say I got a temper.

You have me at a loss, Mr....

My name is Orion.

I fled from the fire-pits of Apokolips
to warn you. He's coming.

Who is?

Darkseid.

Mother Box can explain it better than l.

She is a living computer
connected to the Source.

Let us begin at the beginning.

What was once whole was split asunder.

And in its place there arose two worlds.

Worlds as different as daylight
and darkness, virtue and evil.

One is called New Genesis.

Unparalleled in its beauty...

...it is ruled by the wise
and powerful, High Father.

The other is Apokolips,
a ravaged wasteland...

...ruled by the demonic
and omnipotent Darkseid.

He psychically feeds
on the despair and misery of others.

Because of their opposite natures, these
two worlds have been locked in eternal w*r.

However, an uneasy truce
was established...

... when Darkseid and High Father
exchanged their infant sons.

Unfortunately, this has not diminished
Darkseid's ambitions.

For years he has searched the galaxies
for the legendary Anti-Life Equation...

...a formula that would give him
complete control over all living things.

In his endless search,
he has conquered...

...and subjugated planet after planet.

Now he threatens Earth.

He's already provided human agents
with Apokoliptic weaponry.

-The hover t*nk?
-ls just a prelude.

Turpin.

I'm here to offer my assistance
in the coming battle.

Well, strap on your six-g*n,
space cowboy!

Your playmates are attacking
Sinnott Air Force Base.

-Take cover!
-Down! Down!

Blue Leader One,
I just lost contact with the tower.

-Cover me.
-Roger.

Locked on target. Fire!

Scratch one hero.

By the Source.

-Help!
-Get us out of here!

This ain't happening.

I take it the battle is not going well.

It's not my fault!

It's that new guy!

-Orion.
-You know that creep?

Doesn't matter.

We're ready to begin phase two,
Mr. Mannheim.

You mean the power plant?

Now?

Now!

Who are you? How did you--?

So many questions, so little time.

You know, Superman,
I play a pretty good game...

...but, not in this league.

I don't know what we'd
have done without you.

I'm not the one to thank.

It was a good thing
you showed up, Orion.

-lt was too easy.
-Oh yeah, a real walk in the park.

Don't mock me. Darkseid will consider
this a minor setback, if that.

I know how he thinks.

Yes. I'm his son.

I was the infant Darkseid gave up
to pay for his uneasy truce.

I'm sorry.
I had no idea.

It doesn't matter.

Right now, I must return to New Genesis
and report Darkseid's latest aggressions.

You may use this to contact me
when you need further help.

And you will need it.

The island's been evacuated,
just like you ordered.

And the incendiary's all set
to take out the reactor's cooling system.

There it goes.

You know, Darkseid, you and me,
we make a great team.

Indeed. You have served me well,
Mr. Mannheim.

And now, farewell.

What gives? What about me?
You promised you'd make me a king!

And so you are.
The King of Fools.

Darkseid? Darkseid! No!

Gotta be a k*ll switch!

Come on!

Yes!

Holy Hannah!

Orion was right.

It isn't over.
