01x09 - Paradise Lost: Part II

[bunniefuu]

Wonder woman: previously
on justice league...

Home at last.

What?

Mother! No.

I should have been
here to protect you.

Who are you?

Felix faust.

I came here in pursuit
of ultimate knowledge.

To gain this, I must
find the fragments

Of an ancient sacred relic.

I'll restore your sisters

If you help me get
the other fragments.

I say we go back and kick
that would-be sorcerer's butt.

No. Men are forbidden from
ever setting foot on themyscira.

Unh!

Superman: diana?

Where's superman?

What kind of horror
have we unleashed?

The relics will soon be here.

And then, lord hades,
the world will be ours.

Powerful forces
are at work here.

Tell me something I don't know.

I hope I didn't hurt you.

Let's just say

I'm glad we're usually
on the same team.

I wonder how the
others are doing.

Batman, on earphone: diana, I've dug
up something on your friend faust.

Diana, on earphone: what is it?

I think you'd better
see for yourself.

J'onn: fascinating.

Faust clearly has a
great passion for learning.

Where did he get this stuff?

Warlocks 'r' us?

Don't touch that.

Oops.

Don't touch anything!

We don't know what kind of
powers we're dealing with.

So, who is this faust?

Felix faust was once a respected
professor of archaeology.

But when he became
fascinated with the mystic arts,

He was kicked out of the
university for his heretical ideas.

He swore revenge on
those who mocked him,

And several later disappeared

Under mysterious circumstances.

I have a pretty good idea
what happened to them.

Eew!

He's mad.

It gets worse. I
found his journal.

The last entries make
reference to tartarus.

The pit of lost souls.

Isn't that just a myth?

If only it were...

Long ago, in ancient times,

My mother hippolyta
fell in love with a god,

Lord hades.

When w*r broke out
between the olympian gods

And their ancient
foes, the titans,

Hades struck a treasonous
bargain with the enemy.

He would deliver mount
olympus into the titans' hands.

In return, he would be given
dominion over all humanity.

Hades tricked my mother into
opening the gates of olympus

To the invading titans.

There was a battle of
which the muses still sing.

The gods fought back
and eventually prevailed.

As punishment for his treachery,

Zeus cast hades into
the pit of tartarus,

Where he would rule over
the dead for all eternity.

And for her unwitting
role in hades' plot,

My mother was charged with guarding
the gateway to the underworld.

To make sure the gate
could never be unlocked,

Its only key was broken up

And scattered across the globe.

Mother told me she kept
one of the pieces in the temple

As a daily reminder
of her eternal shame.

Then these relics we've been
gathering are parts of the key?

But why would faust want it?

Only one reason.

He intends to use it.

Where is this gateway
to the underworld?

Beneath themyscira.

Diana, you can't
give faust the key.

If I don't, my
mother and sisters

Will remain petrified forever.

And if you do,

It could mean the
end of the world.

What are you going to do?

Faust: I should thank you

For raising such a
devoted daughter.

She was so eager to cooperate.

Faust!

Back already?

And with hours to spare.

I'm impressed.

Have you got the relics?

First, free my mother.

Oh, yes. Yes. Of course.

Raedis vitae.

Ohh..

Mother.

Faust: after 3,000 years,

The key is finally complete.

Diana, you didn't.

Thank you for your assistance,

But now that your
usefulness is over...

Petro fatis!

What?

You're not the only one

With an ace up your sleeve, pal.

What is this?

Unh!

You brought men
here to themyscira?

Did you really think

She'd trust a scum like you?

It's over, faust.
Come along quietly.

Never!

Now you see me,

Now you don't.

Ha!

Whoa!

Unh!

Aah!

Unh!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Halt.

Ampaloy!

Anybody got some weedkiller?

Come, your highness.

We don't want to be late
for the grand opening.

Aah!

Mother!

Es necropolin, el thomen!

Too late. She's gone.

And so is the key.

No.

There's only one place
they could have gone.

Follow me.

Whoa. What's that smell?

Don't ask.

I beg you, stop this.

You don't know
what you're doing.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

I've dreamt of this
moment my whole life.

Now, let's not keep
our new lord waiting.

No!

Hera, help us.

Free at last.

Welcome, lord hades.

To honor you, I've
brought an offering.

Do my eyes deceive me?

Can it be my dearest hippolyta

Here to greet her
lord and master

On his triumphant return from...

Ah, but you know what I mean.

Not a day has passed

That I haven't been
reminded of your treachery.

Not a day has passed
that I haven't longed

To feel the sweet touch
of living flesh again.

Oh!

My lord,

I've upheld my
end of the bargain.

I delivered your freedom
and the amazon queen.

Now I demand what
you promised me.

Ah, yes.

Ultimate knowledge.

Ultimately...

Pain and suffering are
all men will ever know.

Aah!

Good lord.

Wonder woman: huh!

Huh!

Hurry, mother.

Hippolyta...

You didn't tell me
you had a daughter.

I wonder if she's as
loving as her mother?

Whoo! Get this
guy a breath mint.

Aah! Unh!

Are you all right?

Yes, but hades must be stopped.

You dare to challenge a god?

Uh-oh.

Aah!

Behold the fate of all heroes.

Get 'em off!

Hang on.

Oh, gross.

They're endless.

How can we overcome them?

You can't!

Aah!

Ha ha ha ha!

Bow to me, mortals.

Lumino stactol.

Aah!

Great hera!

Now you see his true face.

Aah!

Come, don't be shy, my love.

No!

Hades: I'll get to you

When I'm finished
with your mother.

Diana, the key.
It's our only hope.

You will be mine and mine alone.

Diana, destroy the key!

Unh!

No!

Back to the pit, you monster.

Mother!

Unh! I've got you.

Aah!

Hippolyta!

He's gone?

What did you ever see in him?

Ancient history.

Thank athena it's finally over.

Is it? What about
our amazon sisters?

Is there nothing
we can do for them?

I still have this
snake-headed doohickey.

But only faust knew the spells.

Without him...

Yow!

Look.

But how?

Faust's enchantment
could only last

As long as he willed it.

So now that he's gone,

The spell is broken.

It's a miracle.

Athena be praised.

Hippolyta: and for
your brave assistance

Against the sorcerer
faust and the mad god hades,

You have earned our
eternal gratitude.

Did you hear that?

Eternal gratitude.

After she hands out the medals,

How about you and me taking
a private tour of paradise?

She wants me.

Indeed.

Hippolyta: before you leave,

Please accept these
royal offerings.

You are all truly heroes.

Thank you, your majesty.

Cool.

Diana, princess of themyscira,

Stand forth.

As your mother,

I am overjoyed that you
have finally returned to us.

But as your queen,

I am obliged to uphold
the laws of themyscira.

And in bringing these
outsiders to our island,

You have broken
our most sacred law.

This cannot be overlooked.

But, mother...

Diana, I have no choice.

It is with a heavy heart

That I must exile
you from themyscira.

What? You can't do that.

She risked her butt
to save all of you.

She... Hey!

Please, she did this
because she loves you.

You can't punish her for that.

No, mother's right.

I did break the law,

And I humbly accept
your judgment.

The fates were
against us, mother.

Good-bye.

Present arms!

That's it?

You're just gonna walk away?

This is so bogus.

Don't make this harder
than it already is.

Diana...

Let's go.

May hera watch over you,

My little sun and stars.
