02x24 - Starcrossed

[bunniefuu]

The delegates from
kasnia are just arriving.

Any sign of trouble?

Nothing here.

Zilch. Not even a
sleazy politician.

Are you sure we need to be here?

According to my sources,

t*rrorists have targeted
this international peace summit.

Flash: they would have to
do it during the playoffs.

J'onzz: what if these
t*rrorists are already inside?

I've got that covered.

[All talking at once]

Look, lois, I know you'd
give your eye teeth

For this assignment,

But someone had to cover
that sanitation strike.

[Lois speaking
indistinctly on telephone]

Don't blame me! Talk to perry!

Green lantern: hey there.

Hey, yourself.

Aren't you supposed to be
patrolling the north end?

I thought I saw
trouble over here.

There's no trouble.

Sure there is.

And I'm looking right at it.

[Kiss]

You're bad. You should know.

And you should get back to work.

But after we're done,
let's get some take-out

From that chinese place
near your apartment.

Great. But this
time, no eel heads.

Lightweight.

Woman: general welles.

I'm picking up an
unidentified bogey

Heading toward washington.

I've tried contacting it,
but there's no response.

Scramble interceptors.

I want visual confirmation.

Man: roger that.

Weird.

Radar says it's
there, but I can't see it.

Still no response?

No, sir, and it's
entering d.c. Airspace.

Take it down.

Direct hit!

Holy...

G.l., Report!

Not exactly your
garden variety t*rrorists.

It's a gordanian
class-7 cruiser!

What? Watch out for
the plasma cannons!

Aah! Aah!

[Screaming]

I'll draw their fire.

We'll take out the
rear stabilizers.

Wait! Don't!

Aah! Aah!

Any other suggestions?

Out of the frying
pan, into the fire.

Hawkgirl: no! Wait!

You know these guys?

Yes.

Welcome to earth, commander.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Care to tell us what
exactly is going on here?

This is commander
hro talak, of thanagar.

Save the
introductions for later.

I must meet with
your world leaders.

The fate of this planet
may hang in the balance.

Talak: friends, we are here
on a mission of great urgency.

5 Years ago, we secretly
sent an advance agent to earth

To learn more about your
people and to study your defenses.

That agent was
lieutenant shayera hol,

Better known to you as hawkgirl.

You mean she's a spy? Cool!

She was spying on us.

Oh, yeah. Huh.

Unfortunately, she discovered that
earth's defenses are sorely lacking.

With your limited technology,
you are totally unprepared

For what is about to come.

The greatest evil
in the universe.

Our mortal enemies,
the gordanians.

For generations, we on
thanagar have been locked

In a bloody w*r
with these monsters.

[Distant moaning]

Across the cosmos, they have
committed unspeakable atrocities,

Decimating world upon world.

And now, they are coming here.

This will be the fate of earth,
unless you accept our help.

[Murmuring]

I know you'll need to discuss
this amongst yourselves,

But be quick about it.

We are your only
hope of salvation.

All this time... Why
didn't you tell me?

John, there were so
many times I wanted to.

But?

This was a m*llitary mission.

I'd sworn an oath of secrecy,

And I couldn't tell anyone.

Sorry, but not even you.

You're a soldier. I'd
think you'd understand.

So... What else
aren't you telling me?

Well, actually...

Talak: shayera.

There you are. Hro.

Darling. At last.

Sorry. Hro talak.

John stewart.

The green lantern.

Shayera has told
me so much about you.

Has she?

And you two are...?

Hro and I are
promised to each other.

It's like being engaged.

Congratulations.

I'm sure you two must have
a lot of catching up to do.

I thought he'd be taller.

Man: you saw what one
gordanian ship can do.

What chance would we
stand against an entire fleet?

But can we trust
the thanagarians?

We don't know
anything about them.

We know they came
here and risked

Their own lives to help us.

Like angels from heaven?

Sorry, princess.
I'm not buying it.

It does seem almost
too good to be true.

But if earth
really is in danger,

We can hardly afford
to turn away help.

I can't believe they're
still discussing this.

It's such a no-brainer, right?

Yeah.

Batman: the most mysterious
creatures in the universe.

Sorry? Women.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

You didn't know
she was spoken for.

How did you...

It wasn't hard to figure out.

The point is, these
things happen.

You just have to deal with it.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Believe me.

I know how painful it
can be when two people

Who are so involved...

Who's involved?

Wait. You and hawkgirl?

Get out!

Really?

Imagine how hard this
situation must be for her.

She's been here, alone,

On a strange planet,
far from home.

Who knows what she
must have gone through?

Maybe you should
have read her mind.

Actually, it's strange,
but I never could.

In fact, I can't read
any of their minds.

Not exactly thanagar's finest,

But I tried to make
it feel like home.

Hungry?

Alon's kidneys,
korschian oysters.

Don't you like them?

I remembered they
were your favorites.

No. It was very thoughtful.

Mmm! Awesome!

And when was the
last time you had this?

Plume nectar!

I remember we were on
leave together on aloria.

How long ago was that?

5 Years. 5 Long years.

My shayera!

[Angrily] what is it?

Commander talak.

Kragger! I left orders
not to be interrupted.

I'm sorry, sir, but
we're receiving

A transmission from the humans.

Commander talak,
the world leaders

Have come to a decision.

Earth gladly accepts
your assistance.

Very good. We will
begin immediately.

I'm sorry, darling.

Duty calls.

But I want you to come with me

And act as an official
liaison with the natives.

Your experience with
them may come in handy.

Of course.

Commander, a word with you?

I'm meet you in the landing bay.

Sir, with all due respect,

Do you think it's prudent to
let her go down there again?

She hasn't been
properly debriefed

Or psychologically assessed.

Living among those humans
for so long may have...

You worry too much, kragger.

I've always been
overly cautious.

Still, you might want
to keep an eye on her.

Oh, I'll be watching
her closely.

Very closely.

And you will mind
your own business.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

[Goat bleating]

Move those
civilians out of here.

We need this entire
area cleared and leveled.

I'm on it.

John, we have to talk.

Nothing to talk about.

But I wanted to explain
about hro and me.

I'm a little busy
right now, lieutenant.

This generator...
When we're finished,

It's going to be
the size of a city.

A big one. It has to be.

It's got to sustain a
force field strong enough

To protect earth
from the gordanians.

I don't get what
you see in that guy.

I mean, sure he's big and strong

And ridiculously
good-looking, but so what?

That doesn't make
him some kind of hero.

[Goat bleating]

Here. Look after
this little one.

[Bleats]

Fine... But I still
don't like him.

Wonder woman: what exactly
are you trying to prove here?

Think about it.

A single ship
att*cks a major city.

Then the thanagarian armada
coincidentally shows up to save us.

I don't believe in coincidence.

So how is this going to help?

You don't know anything
about gordanian physiology.

No, but I know a frozen
liver when I see one.

What?

The crew of this ship
was dead long before

The thanagarians sh*t them down.

I think we've been set up.

Kraggar: welcome aboard.

Since you are now our
partners in this great endeavor,

Commander talak has asked
me to show you our ship

And answer any
questions you might have.

It's easy to get lost, so
please stay close together.

I thought we'd
start with the bridge

And then move on to our
fully equipped medical facilities.

I'm sure you'll find
these quite interesting.

Easy now.

Connect the absorbing
plate to the integration unit.

Good.

This technology is amazing.

How does it work?

The circuits utilize enth metal,

An element with properties
you couldn't begin to understand.

Which properties
wouldn't I understand?

The hyperconductivity or
the mason-graviton inversion?

Man: sector 17...

Second man: received
and understood.

Talak: talak to comm center.

Link me to the high council.

Man: right away, sir.

Commander talak, what
progress can you report?

Talak: we are on
schedule, my lord.

With the help of the humans,

We should be
operational within days.

Not a moment too soon.

As you see, the gordanians

Have launched a new
counteroffensive.

They have sealed off
our expeditionary forces,

And their entire fleet is
pressing toward thanagar.

Man: you there!

How did you get in here?

I'm sorry.

I seem to have gotten
separated from my group.

Don't move!

Lieutenant, I found one of
your visitors in the comm center.

Kraggar: did he see anything?

I'm not sure.

Then don't take any
chances. Lock him up.

Come with me. No, thanks.

[Grunts]

Security! We have an
intruder on level 5!

Batman: diana, I was right.

The gordanians are
nowhere near earth.

The thanagarians are... Aah!

Batman! Come in!
Can you hear me?

Keep an eye on this one.

Commander, our security
has been breached.

I was hoping to avoid this.

Deploy our
contingency forces now.

By your command.

Wonder woman: superman!
The thanagarians are lying.

Batman's been captured
aboard their command ship.

[Loud crash]

Great hera!

They're here at the watchtower!

The landing bay's opening!

They must have our access codes!

Aah!

Ugh! Ugh!

Superman: diana's in trouble!

Get to the javelin! Fast!

Aah!

Woman: I'm afraid
we can't allow that.

[Grunting]

What are you doing?

Talak: can't let your friends
jeopardize our mission.

Man: general welles, the hawkmen
are attacking the justice league!

It's a double-cross!

Launch a full strike
counterattack.

10 Seconds to impact, sir.

[Shouting]

[Clicking]

Man: what happened? It's jammed!

[Chatter]

Surrender or die!

Take them out! Fast and hard!

[Shouting]

You wanted to learn
about our technology?

Aah!

[Grunting]

J'onn!

Now!

[Weakly] feels like kryptonite.

Fire the gravity beam!

Kragger, seal off the area!

Kragger: activate force
field projection. Now!

Don't fight us. We're
trying to help you.

Do you ever stop lying?

It was for your own good.

You've got to trust me!

Why? Whose side
are you really on?

Don't you know?

[Grunts]

I'm sorry, john.
