02x15 - The Terror Beyond

[bunniefuu]

I think we found him again.

Oh, yeah.

Way to big to be anyone else.

All units in position, sir.

Get his attention.

Got him, sir.

I've heard it before.

Search the rubble.
Show me a body.

You heard him.
Let's start digging.

Ohh! Hey!

Leave grundy alone!

Grr!

Open fire!

Aah!

Huh!

Grr!

Uh!

Uh!

Aah!

Grr!

Grundy told stupid
soldiers to stay away,

But soldiers still come.

Now grundy crush!

Aah!

Grr!

Aah!

Aah!

He's finished. Get the cage.

Huh!

Uh!

Ohh!

Ohh!

If you want to
live, come with me.

Where are we?

You promised to
give grundy gold.

And I will once
you've done your part.

If stupid fishman

Tries to trick grundy,

Grundy will crush.

Charming.

Your gold's inside.

Welcome back, your highness.

I assume this is solomon grundy.

My name is inza.

Do you have grundy's gold?

Here, brute.

Everything I promised and more.

Ooh! Ha ha ha!

Grundy likes gold.

Where's your husband?

Preparing for the incantation.

I'll tell him you're here.

Kent, your guests have arrived.

He's on his way.

Please make
yourself comfortable.

Nothing for me.

Solomon?

It's ok.

Take as many as you want.

My apologies for the delay.

I have a kingdom do protect.

Keep me waiting
again at your peril.

It's a pleasure to
meet you, mr. Grundy.

I am dr. Fate.

Girl gave grundy the cookies.

I've done as you asked.

Let's get on with it.

Soon, but first I
have to make sure

He is truly what they say.

Too much talking! Grundy bored!

What does stupid magician
want grundy to do for his gold?

I need to know your origins.

How did you come to be

As you are?

Grundy doesn't remember.

Grundy's always been grundy!

Doubtful.

Perhaps a simple
spell of revelation.

Yes. I see now.

Your name was cyrus gold...

An evil man who performed

Many evil deeds...

Until the day you aroused
an evil as great as your own.

They ended your life,

Cursed you with a
powerful grigri...

And dumped your
remains in a swamp

Redolent with mystical
properties of its own.

These magics did
not sit well together.

And so it was that
decades later...

The swamp gave birth
to a walking dead man,

Soulless and empty,

Always seeking,
never knowing why.

Grundy remembers.

He meets our needs.

Then we should
begin immediately.

The future of atlantis
is my only concern.

No. Grundy wants something.

We're already agreed.

You help us, I
give you the gold.

Grundy not want gold!

Grundy wants what
men took from him.

Their curse removed your soul.

Grundy wants it back.

Will magician help?

I will do everything I can.

If you help grundy,

Grundy will help you.

Bring the trident.

We still have
preparations to complete.

Clear.

Looked like you needed a hand.

I've had more than enough help

From your kind
for one day, thanks.

Meaning?

My men had grundy well in hand

Until your friend showed up.

What friend?

No one in the justice
league would...

Don't tell me what happened!

I was here.

He wrecked our
tanks, grabbed grundy,

And hightailed it

On the back of the
flipping loch ness monster.

Who? Aquaman.

We can't assume he's gone bad.

Aquaman helped save
the world, remember?

He helped save atlantis.

He couldn't care
less about the world.

It doesn't make sense to
jump to either conclusion.

Let's just see
what he has to say.

You ever get chafed
straddling the fence all the time?

Hold on a minute.

Something up ahead.

Care to weigh in on the
aquaman question now?

I'll get back to you on that.

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Ow.

Hah! Hah! Huh!

Haah! Aah!

Hera, give me strength.

Do you have to say
that all the time?

Hawkgirl, catch!

Where's the creature?

Diving away from us.

Running back to daddy.

Could be.

My friends, welcome
back to atlantis.

Thank you, your highness.

We've come here to
speak with your husband.

"Speak with" being
a polite euphemism

For shutting him down.

What are you talking about?

Two att*cks on the surface world

By giant sea creatures.

And we couldn't help
noticing as we came in

That your army is on high alert.

So, looking to
expand the kingdom?

After all you've been
through together,

How could you even think
such a thing of arthur?

There doesn't seem to
be any other explanation.

Come on. Where's aquaman?

He's with dr. Fate.

If he wishes to see you,

He'll summon you
after his return.

That's not good enough.

This audience is concluded.

That went well.

What, you expected her to
confess to an act of w*r?

She's royalty.

You were needlessly
disrespectful.

Standard
interrogation technique.

I was bad cop.

You're always bad cop.

Why play against type?

Anyway, we got
a name out of her.

That's another thing
that bothers me...

Aquaman and dr. Fate?

Fate's some sort
of mystic, isn't he?

That's right,

And only magic could
have hurt me like this.

I guess I'm off the fence.

No door?

Fate!

Nobody home.

I want to see for myself.

Aah!

Magic.

Let me give it a sh*t.

Haaah!

After you.

Nice use of space.

I warn you both again...

Once the spell has
begun, I cannot stop.

And the pain will be unbearable.

You've told us
before. Get on with it.

Stupid magician.

Grundy not care about pain.

Grundy wants his reward.

Very well.

The elements are gathered
in a place of power...

A wizard of great knowledge...

The trident of poseidon...

Aah!

And the forbearance
of a dead man.

The walls between the
worlds have been torn asunder.

I order them now sealed.

Power of the titans which
resides in their trident,

By the power of
the lords of order

Which resides in everything,

By the power of fate

Which resides in
the helmet of naboo...

Banish the old ones
and seal the breach.

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

So fate demands!

Stop!

Aah!

Haah!

Aah! Uh!

Aah!

Do you realize what you've done?

Leave here! Now!

Not without grundy
and a good explanation.

You've ruined everything!

Aquaman, stop them.

I'll try to improvise something,

But I must be allowed
to concentrate!

Go away! Superman always
takes everything from grundy,

But not this time.

This time, grundy crush!

I've got aquaman.
You take the magician.

Your mace seems
to be giving him fits.

Just for the record, I
didn't start this fight.

First time for everything.

Hrrah!

Too much noise. Away!

Really not your day, is it?

What were they
trying to do to you?

Superman always att*cks grundy.

I was trying to help you.

Help yourself!

I'm not here to
hurt you, grundy.

Give up.

No.

Grundy can't give up.

Magician promised
to help grundy.

Don't make me do this.

Raah!

Uh!

Grundy will help magician,

Then magician will help grundy.

Last chance. Let me go.

Grundy won't quit.

I'll try to make this as quick
and painless as possible.

Huh! Haah!

Don't overestimate
your abilities.

My people are warriors,

No less than yours.

As you wish. No quarter given.

Where are my friends?

Bring them back,

Or I'm going to find out

What that bell on
your head sounds like.

You shouldn't make threats...

When you're so
clearly outnumbered.

Running out of tricks?

Not entirely.

Aah!

Those runes.
They're thanagarian.

What do you know
about thanagar? Talk!

Uh... Uhh.

Give them to me, superman.

Let's slow this down.

It's way past time you explained

What's going on here.

I'll explain it to
your grieving friends.

Haaaah...

That's enough!

You've run out of choices.

Tell us what you're doing now!

We were trying to prevent that.
