[suspenseful music playing]
[g*nsh*t]
Jimbo, I need targets!
sh*t.
[footsteps approaching]
[g*n cocking]
[both grunting]
[screaming]
[man] Hey! Move it, buddy.
You're blocking the door.
[grunts]
Sorry. Reflex.
[coughs]
What the hell's wrong with you?
Have a nice day.
[homeless man] Get off me!
You have to run!
The world will end in a flash of light
and you'll be gone!
You'll all be gone,
just like the others!
We told you to leave this alley!
[groans]
And now, you pay the price.
[John] Stop!
You want to play bodyguard
for this garbage?
[all grunting]
I guess I do.
Then you're a dead man, too!
We're all dead! Everyone's dead!
Dead, dead, dead...
[gripping music playing]
[grunting]
[sirens approaching]
Police! Freeze!
[groans]
You can't just go b*ating the crap
out of people, soldier.
We got a public disturbance.
Name's Stewart, John.
- Looks like he might be a vet...
- Where'd you do your tour?
Afghanistan?
I was in Iraq. That sucked, too.
[female cop] Mike, come here...
You're not going to believe this,
but this guy's a Medal of Honor winner.
Citation list a mile long.
Do we really want to risk getting heat
from social media or the press?
Go home, Mr. Stewart.
Stay out of trouble.
[alarm blaring]
[exhales] At last. There you are.
[car door closes]
[sonic boom in distance]
What the hell?
[gasping for breath]
[gasps]
I found you at last, John Stewart.
Who are you?
How do you know me?
[gasping]
You must... You must...
Lay still.
I'm gonna take you to the hospital.
[exhales]
[gasps]
Poor bastard.
[clothes ruffling]
[Power Ring] John Stewart of Earth!
Who? What?
[Power Ring] You possess singular will.
Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps.
[straining] Get off of me!
And what the hell is this now?
[Power Ring] That is your
Green Lantern Corps uniform,
Green Lantern John Stewart.
Alterations can be made.
No, no, no... I am not hearing this!
[Power Ring]
Green Lantern John Stewart...
Stop calling me that!
Okay, great! Now I'm talking to it!
[Power Ring] Contacting Green Lantern
headquarters on Oa for guidance.
Right. You do that, and I'll do this.
[grunts]
[Power Ring] Contact unsuccessful.
You are tasked with halting
five genocides in this sector.
Then you must stop the Baelishian w*r...
Pound sand, ring!
[screaming]
I'm taking all the damn meds
the VA prescribes from now on.
[straining]
And you are getting off my finger!
Dammit! Why won't you come off?
[Power Ring]
Standard ring programming superseded.
Okay. Okay, okay. Let's just calm down.
[deep breath]
Is there someone who would know
what to do in this situation?
Someone I can talk to?
[Power Ring] Affirmative.
Can you show them to me?
[screaming]
Stop! Stop!
You're gonna k*ll me!
[Power Ring] Are you addressing me,
Green Lantern John Stewart?
Who the hell else would I be talking to?
[Power Ring] To avoid future confusion,
consider addressing me as "Ring."
What's that up ahead?
I mean... Ring, what is that up ahead?
[Ring] It is called
the Justice League Watchtower.
All right guys, I have no idea
what's going on
out in galactic sector ,
but it is definitely big
and the disruption is spreading.
It could even reach Earth.
We need all hands on deck.
Superman and Wonder Woman
should be back within a week.
Perhaps they will have answers for us.
It's too bad Batman's pulled
one of his disappearing acts.
We're stretched too thin as it is.
Hey.
Intruder!
Alpha Defense Pattern!
[roars]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Back off!
[grunting]
[thrilling music playing]
[groans]
I have pointy ones, too.
Green Arrow, wait... look.
Are you a Green Lantern?
That would explain
why he didn't set off any alarms.
I'm not here to fight.
I just want to get rid of this thing.
It is a Lantern Power Ring.
The Guardians didn't say anything
about sending a new Green Lantern.
Well, the Guardians haven't said squat
to us in like a year.
Power Ring, who was your previous owner?
Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
Hal Jordan... is dead?
Who are you?
How did you get our friend's ring?
My name is John Stewart
and if I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.
Try us. We are the Justice League.
We have seen a lot.
Seriously.
A lot.
A burning space ship crashed by me.
I ran over to help and found,
swear to God, a little blue alien.
And, he turned to dust.
Then this talking ring flew on my finger
and now it won't come off.
Why would a Guardian come to Earth
to deliver a Power Ring?
He's lying, that's why. Hal's not dead.
This guy is trying to trick us.
Power Rings are like my Tantu Totem.
They're not easily wielded
by someone unworthy.
Okay did you see
how much he sucked at using it?
Perhaps this is connected
to those disturbances in deep space.
Maybe we should go find out
what's going on out there.
We cannot leave Earth unprotected.
And since the Flash
is also on a mission,
I am the only one qualified
to administrate the Watchtower.
I'll go. I got to get to the truth
of what happened to Hal.
You should take him with you.
No way. Hard pass.
Hard, hard pass.
I don't trust this guy one bit.
He seems totally sketchy.
You do realize I can hear you, right?
Look, I'll check out the crashed ship.
If it still flies, I'll autopilot to Oa.
I'll get right in the Guardians faces.
[laughs]
I'm sure they'll love that.
And if something has happened to Hal,
then we'll know.
But he stays here.
Uh, question, can any of you
get this ring off me?
I have witnessed Green Lanterns
take their rings off,
so it should be possible, unless...
The ring's programming was changed?
Yes.
But these Guardians,
they could get it off?
They did create the Power Rings.
Then I'm going to this "Oa" place
with you.
You got a problem with that,
talk to the hand.
You know, the one with the ring on it.
Hey! Watch it! Slow down!
[both groaning]
Terrible. On, like, all fronts.
This was a burning wreck when I left it.
Now, it's like new.
Mm, yeah, it probably has some kind of
sophisticated self-repair program,
like nanites and what have you.
You seem to know your way around.
Actually, I've never seen it before.
But Hal once explained to me
that the real measure of
any advanced technology
is how intuitive it is to use.
[powering up]
You think you can fly this thing to Oa?
I... am not sure. Probably.
But...
But what?
We need coordinates.
Talk to your Ring.
What do you mean?
Well, just ask it for directions to Oa.
In fact, just tell it to put them
into the ship's autopilot
and get us moving.
Ring, did you hear all that?
Can you do it?
Unlocking systems.
Integrating.
Coordinates set.
Um, let's go?
[captivating music playing]
[Ring] The Guardians were
among the first intelligent
forms of life in the universe.
When they perceived
that less evolved life forms
were often prone to chaos and v*olence,
they decided a police force
was necessary to keep order.
These they called Green Lanterns,
and their members were selected
amongst the alien races
for their intelligence,
willpower
and fearlessness.
Huh? [sighs]
Hey, look alive, rookie. We're here.
So the Guardians are a prickly bunch
that don't much like humans.
- Because they've met you?
- That's good, but no.
Because, they think
we're too stupid to waste time on.
Please, don't prove them right.
[engine powering down]
[footsteps approaching]
Okay, so this is why
they haven't returned our calls.
[eerie music playing]
[Green Arrow] You okay?
Yeah.
Everything here
is built around that building,
like it's important or something.
Maybe we'll find some answers there.
Good. Nice to see you're not useless.
I know this one.
Sinestro.
He trained Hal into becoming
the greatest Green Lantern ever.
What happened to him?
He turned into an evil psycho.
I'm guessing they left that part out
when they gave the tour.
But, again, he trained Hal.
Look, it's not like
I haven't heard of Hal Jordan.
And yeah, he's pretty great,
but so were all these other Lanterns.
Right?
Holy crap!
[Console voice over speaker]
Hal Jordan is acknowledged to be
the greatest Green Lantern
in the universe.
In the universe?
[Green Arrow] Look what I found.
a*mo box, huh?
Correct. This is what Lanterns use
to recharge their Rings.
You'll need one.
I'm here to get rid
of this thing, remember?
Better to be prepared.
I'm going to see what else I can find.
Just stay out of trouble, hero.
Well, uh... that's something.
Well, all right.
[screams]
[intense music playing]
[grunting]
Can't I leave you alone for one second?
[groans]
[Ring] Lethal force is not authorized.
Lethal force is not authorized.
Lethal force is not authorized.
Lethal force is not authorized.
Lethal force is not...
You're k*lling her!
Stop!
[gasps for breath]
[breathing heavily]
You should have finished me.
Why? We're trying to find out
what happened here.
You weren't part of the Rannian att*ck?
Rannians? No no. We just got here.
I'm Green Arrow.
His name's John Stewart.
Who are you?
I am Shayera Hol,
warrior of Thanagar, First Order.
Okay, well, let's make a deal, Shayera.
No one kills anyone
for at least a minute
and instead we exchange some info.
[Shayera Hol] These are the last images
before the Oan security net
was disabled.
A Rannian ship.
It must have carried
one of their k*ll squads
instead of the diplomats
listed in the logs.
Maybe.
The evidence is in front of you.
Look, John and I don't see
eye to eye on a lot,
but he's right, we don't know
who was in that ship.
And why are you here?
He's just asking, not accusing.
My ship was destroyed in battle.
I came to seek aid from the Guardians
in our w*r
against the honor less Rannians
but was too late.
[screams in frustration]
They will pay.
If you're seeking vengeance,
shouldn't you be sure
you have the right target?
You don't understand, do you?
[captivating music playing]
After years of bloody w*r,
we finally achieved the tenuous peace.
To codify it,
Thanagar and Rann agreed
to a joint project
led by Sardath and Banth Dar.
Zeta-Beam technology would be harnessed
to create a bridge
between our worlds
and boost both of our economies.
Banth, begin the power up sequence!
[machine powering up]
[engine roaring]
[Shayera] Initially, the project
was a great success.
[cheering and applause]
[alarm blaring]
[alarm sounding]
Green Lantern to command center.
Are you doing another test?
I can't stop the emitter from f*ring!
We're locked out!
[Sardath] Green Lantern,
something has gone wrong!
What was your first clue?
[Sardath] You must stop the platform
from f*ring!
I'll try plugging it!
[groaning]
[screaming]
[Shayera] The Zeta force transported
the entire planet of Thanagar
into Rannian space,
upsetting the ecosystem of both planets.
Hal Jordan and millions
of Thanagarians d*ed that day.
And the w*r criminal Sardath escaped.
How do you know it wasn't an accident?
And this ship doesn't prove anything.
A true warrior does not ask questions.
They do not hesitate.
They k*ll.
Kinda seems to me
we should talk to the Rannians.
The nearest outpost is light years away.
We have a ship.
If you promise not to att*ck us,
you can come.
I shall accompany you
and I will not att*ck.
Unless threatened, insulted, or menaced.
Then, you die.
Well, she's fun.
What's this now?
I discovered the Ring
comes with a manual.
This exercise is part
of Green Lantern Corps training.
It's like a video game.
The kind of trouble
we're headed into is not a game.
You said you can get
that Ring off right?
Yeah. Seems I can now.
I thought you wanted to get rid of it?
I do.
But you both need me
to make the ship go to someplace
where there might be sh**ting...
Well, yeah. I mean probably.
More than likely.
Almost definitely, actually.
So, until we can give this Ring
back to your friend,
it's better to be prepared, right?
[Ring] Ring at three percent power.
- Come on. Just when I think I...
- You have to recharge it.
Where's the battery?
Stick your hand in it.
It's not doing anything.
You gotta say the oath.
Oath? What oath?
Yeah. Repeat after me...
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power...
Green Lantern's light."
You're kidding, right?
No, I am not.
Say it out loud and proud.
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power...
Green Lantern's light."
[lantern powering up]
[Ring] Ring at percent power.
Of all the hokey, lame-ass things...
The Rannian scum have m*rder*d
the Thanagarians sent to destroy them.
Mmm-hmm. You hear yourself, right?
[thunder rumbling]
Move!
[dramatic music playing]
[grumbles]
Okay, everyone take a moment
and remember our manners.
[screaming]
Aw, crap.
[groans]
Does everyone here
want to k*ll each other?
[groans]
[screaming]
Think! We need to question him.
Of course, interrogation first.
Then, execution.
I don't fear death. Get on with it.
We had nothing to do with this.
And we don't want to k*ll you.
Just answer our questions, please.
This is pointless.
What can he tell us
that is of any value?
Maybe give him a second to answer?
What was that bright light
that brought you here?
He's a Green Lantern.
Aren't they allies of yours?
They were until his people
k*lled the Guardians.
The Guardians are dead? How?
First thing's first.
The bright light.
It was a Zeta-Beam.
They seem attracted to me.
I don't know why.
But when they hit, they transport me
to different, far-reaching parts
of the galaxy.
I have little control over them.
Fairy tales and lies can't undo the fact
that Rann destroyed Oa
and m*rder*d the Green Lanterns.
No. Rann is allied with the Guardians.
The Green Lanterns
are heroes to the Rannians.
If I can get to High Command,
I'll show you.
[scoffs] The only thing this man
could show us
is the fastest way
to the bottom of a bottle.
I know how I look.
But I'm Adam Strange.
You? You're the Night Flyer?
The Bane of the Wingmen? Not likely.
Adam Strange is dead, gone years ago.
Gone, yes. Dead, no.
A Zeta-Beam took me and I couldn't
figure out how to get back.
[Green Arrow] So, how are you here now?
Random chance.
Zeta-Beams are unpredictable.
As are Rannian cutthroats.
Listen to me.
Rannians would never att*ck Oa.
Okay, then.
Let's go to your High Command
and see if you're right.
Our answers will be found on Rann.
And so will my vengeance.
Great road trip crew
you've assembled, John.
Try not to get m*rder*d.
[Ring] Test complete.
For a Bering that does not want
to be a Green Lantern,
you show some ability.
Just passing the time.
[thudding]
[distant expl*si*n]
What was it that caused the w*r
between Thanagar and Rann?
Rannian treachery, of course.
Under a guise of a peaceful experiment
meant to benefit everyone,
they transported their planet
into our system to conquer it.
What do you mean Thanagar transported?
You att*cked our capital city first
and destroyed it!
That was the w*r you were
involved in years ago. Many d*ed.
Since you've been gone,
it finally ended in peace.
And as a gesture of hope and goodwill,
we became allies.
Until your leaders tricked us
and tried to destroy Thanagar for good!
So, we should leave
before either side sees us.
Not yet.
It's just a derelict being yanked
into the gravitational pull
of a red dwarf.
[Shayera] It appears our fighters
did their jobs well.
Can you give it a rest?
I may be able to access
the main computer
with a scan of my DNA.
Oh, yeah, they... they love you.
[voice over speaker] It seems
the deities have granted me my wish.
To have the pleasure
of k*lling one more Thanagarian.
Wait! You are Kantus of House Thrax.
A great and noble captain.
Am I so well known to Thanagarian spies?
It's me, Adam Strange.
He's dead.
Scan me and see the truth.
We thought you d*ed years ago.
I've been away. Now I'm back.
Then, the Thanagarian is your prisoner?
Prisoner? You Rannian...
She's helping solve a mystery
that affects both Rann and Thanagar.
But we need your help.
Can we tap into your ship's computers?
I've disengaged the firewalls.
You're free to scan our data bank.
Ring, download all relevant information
on the Rann-Thanagar w*r.
I'd especially like to know
why Rann att*cked Oa.
What? Rann didn't att*ck Oa!
You lie! We have evidence!
It's too late for all your accusations.
Soon all your kind
will be wiped out of existence.
What are you talking about?
Our greatest scientist is building
a w*apon that will destroy Thanagar
and end this w*r once and for all.
Sardath. Where?
Only a few key people know.
I'm not one of them.
[expl*si*n]
This ship is doomed.
As captain, I intend to die with her.
Ring, can you do anything to get
the battle cruiser moving again?
[Ring] Rerouting power
to the kevval engines is possible.
It may be enough to defeat
the gravitational pull of the red dwarf.
Provided the hull
survives the forces required.
Re-route all power.
Whatever you have to do.
Do it!
Rannian battle cruiser has escaped
the red dwarf's gravitational pull.
Now he can limp his way home.
[Kantus] I don't believe so.
Thank you Adam Strange.
Onward for Rann!
He's going back to the battle!
Idiot.
His ship is useless.
What can he hope to do?
A noble death in battle.
For everyone involved.
Let's get out of here.
Come over here. We've made progress.
Are you two actually in a room together
without tearing at each other's throats?
Wow. Okay. Yes. Okay. All right.
What have you found out?
When the Zeta-Beam transported
Thanagar into Rann's atmosphere,
it caused
catastrophic climate disasters.
The planet survived.
And that's what started the w*r.
[screams]
Now Sardath has re-engineered
the Zeta-Beam
into a w*apon of total destruction.
A planet destroyer.
We've got to stop him.
Any idea where they're based?
Unfortunately, no.
But we do have a lead.
We were examining the data
on the att*ck on Oa.
We discovered this.
[Green Arrow] It's a Rannian ship.
You were right.
So I thought.
But when we examined
the drive signature it left behind,
something unusual turned up.
We found an exact match.
It was identical
to a ship that bombarded
the United Galactic
Council Headquarters years ago,
sabotaging the first peace talks
and k*lling several hundred people.
But that was a Thanagarian ship.
And that same ship's signature
was also found
at the scene of many more
unwarranted att*cks.
Somebody is impersonating both
Rannians and Thanagarians
to cause your w*r.
It would seem so.
Strange and I calculated the direction
the drive signatures left
after many such att*cks.
In each case, the ship headed
in this direction.
And if we triangulate the escape routes,
they all meet here, in this sector.
If we want answers,
this is where we find them.
Maybe your calculations were wrong?
There's nothing here.
Spoke too soon!
I'm on the weapons!
Nice sh**ting.
Those g*ns are here to protect
something or somebody.
Bingo. A shielded structure.
I can't see what's inside.
There's only one way to find out.
[Shayera] Artificial gravity and oxygen.
Somebody went to a lot of trouble
to build a hideout in this asteroid.
Well, since they made it so hospitable,
let's go pay them a visit.
[groans]
[groaning]
What was that you were saying
about this place being hospitable?
[dramatic music playing]
[whooshes]
[struggling]
[groans]
Do it! k*ll him!
No.
I've had enough k*lling.
[Sinestro laughs]
How odd. When it comes to k*lling,
I can't get enough of it!
Drop your weapons
or this Green Lantern
becomes green slime.
While we're on the subject.
I think I'll relieve you of this.
With your lack of experience,
you give new meaning
to the name "Green" Lantern.
Lights out.
[groans]
John!
[Sinestro] I wouldn't try that again.
Next time, you'll be reduced
to a pile of ash.
You look familiar.
His name is Sinestro.
He's a Green Lantern who went rogue.
If by "went rogue" you mean
I saw through the Guardian's lies,
then yes, I've embraced the power
of yellow energy and gone rogue.
The color yellow is the one thing
your ring power is useless against.
Yeah, the ring told me.
But I've been up against
that kind of barrier my whole life.
It hasn't stopped me yet.
Why don't you just k*ll us?
Because I may have a use for you.
But don't worry,
your death is a viable option.
We could dig our way out.
[man] Good thing I've got a head start.
Hal!
I knew you were alive!
You're too stubborn to die!
You're a sight for sore eyes, Ollie.
What are you doing here?
We came looking for you
after your ring turned up on his finger.
His name's John Stewart.
And this is Shayera and Adam Strange.
The Rannian hero?
I wish we were meeting
under better circumstances.
So do I.
Apparently, your ring
was given to John by a Guardian.
So... you received my ring.
From what I heard,
they screwed up big-time
by choosing me as your replacement.
Oh, the Guardians don't make mistakes
when it comes
to appointing a Green Lantern.
They've been doing it
for a million years.
They won't be doing it anymore.
Oa has been destroyed.
The Guardians are dead.
Sinestro.
We think he disguised his ship
as a Rannian vessel and att*cked them.
He's done even worse.
He sabotaged Sardath's grand experiment.
So he started the w*r?
Why would he do that?
Because he's insane!
Sinestro thrives on chaos and death.
Sure, I get that.
But how did you end up here?
And how did your ring end up with me?
I was told rings only leave Lanterns
after they die.
Good questions.
I'll give you the quick
and dirty explanation...
I was asked to keep watch
on Sardath's experiment.
And while I was outside
with the science barge...
Sinestro infiltrated the base.
The experiment went out of control.
I was pulled onto the planet
before it teleported with everyone else.
Before I passed out,
I released my ring
so Sinestro couldn't get it.
When I came to...
I was here.
And I've been here ever since.
As for my ring...
Well, It must have been found
by the Guardians and they,
in their wisdom,
chose to reassign it
to a worthy candidate.
I'll be happy to give it back to you.
If I ever get it back, that is.
We've gotta escape.
Right. To stop Sinestro.
Odd as this is,
Sinestro is problem number two.
First we've got to get to Rann
and stop Sardath from using his new
Doomsday w*apon to destroy Thanagar.
Doomsday w*apon?
Sardath is going to use Zeta-Beams
as a mega-w*apon.
He's trying it out in a secret location.
Only the Rannian High Command
knows where.
Really...
Thank you for all that information.
See? You were useful after all.
You should be proud. [chuckles]
You'll never get your hands on it.
No matter how much of an as*ault
you launch on Rann.
Their defenses are too good.
An as*ault on Rann
to find the location
of their Doomsday w*apon?
What a splendid idea!
I'll get on that right away!
We really suck
at being covert operators.
Jordan, you said you were
on the verge of escaping.
How?
I've been digging.
Judging from the warmer temperature
of the rock,
I think the controls
for the force field door
are powered by conduits
running through here.
If I can just get to them...
We turn off the force field
by short-circuiting its power feed!
I'm almost there.
But it's another foot of rock
to grind through.
Would an Nth metal Kn*fe help?
The hardest substance in the universe?
Yeah, might come in handy.
[captivating music playing]
Lord Damyn, Lyssa,
ready the ship at once.
Dress it as a Thanagarian cruiser.
They're working on it as we speak.
Excellent. Rann will never expect
an att*ck.
The element of surprise
should yield a fruitful result.
He has my mace.
How rude. Allow me.
[groans]
He's dead.
Serves him right.
I've never known you
to be indifferent to death.
Yeah well, months of being brutalized
in captivity will do that to a man.
And millions of lives are at stake.
Let's get out of here
before the others leave that ship.
[Green Arrow] I'll fire up the engines.
Wait.
We need to get the ring.
The Green Lantern ring.
What? Come on. All you've done
is complain about it
and now you want it?
Between Hal and me,
one of us should have it.
We're going into battle.
We might need it.
We don't have time
to go back and get it.
Not necessary.
All John has to do is will it to come.
It doesn't matter where the ring is.
It'll find a way to get to him.
Close your eyes and will it back.
But it's your ring.
Not anymore.
It answers to you now.
Close your eyes. Summon it!
Yeah, and Sinestro probably
put it with all of our other weapons.
See if you can grab those up, too!
[music increases in tempo]
[dramatic music playing]
What? No! The ring!
Get it! Get it!
What?
Ring, do we have enough fuel
to make a jump to warp speed?
Inconclusive.
That's wonderful. Strap in, everybody.
This ship needs
several months in space dock.
Hull integrity diminishing.
Breach in five seconds.
I'm dropping us out of warp speed.
We still have a long way to go.
Well, I'll drive as fast as I can
without the hyperdrive.
Sinestro b*at us to Rann!
What do we do now?
Adam Strange calling
Rannian High Command.
Is this some kind of trick?
Commander Strange is no longer...
[Adam] Jorson? Is that you? It's Adam.
Are you still terrible at Jaccarat?
By her Lady's Grace, it is you!
Open a window in the shield
for us to get through.
I'll explain everything when I see you.
[Jorson] Sending you coordinates now.
The window will open for two seconds.
That's all we need.
Annihilate them.
[alarm beeping]
We've got company.
Hmm. As I live and breathe.
I never thought
I'd lay eyes on you again.
It's good to be back.
I'm sorry the circumstances
of your homecoming are so grim.
I have no idea why these Thanagarians
have launched this futile att*ck.
They're not Thanagarians.
What nonsense is your prisoner speaking?
I am not a prisoner!
She's not and she's right.
We've uncovered a plot
by a band of rogue agents
to start and keep this w*r going
between our worlds.
They're the ones f*ring on you now!
That ship is not Thanagarian.
It's disguised.
We never thought to check.
But if what you say is true...
We know about the secret w*apon.
We have to stop Sardath
from using it on Thanagar.
And I need your help to contact him.
Adam? Is it really you!?
Yes. I have to see you at once.
Don't deploy your w*apon.
How do you know about...
Billions of innocent lives are art stake.
It can't be used!
But my w*apon is the only thing
that will stop the Thanagarians
from k*lling more of us.
And I have you
to thank for its creation.
Me?
It was the analysis
of your unique biology
that made it possible
to isolate your metagene.
Metagene?
I knew Zeta energy always found you,
as though drawn to you.
I noticed that you were born
with a unique metagene
and that was my first breakthrough.
I gained some control over
where the Zeta-Beams went.
Eventually, I was able
to amplify the phenomenon.
Now, I command vast amounts
of Zeta energy at will!
[Zeta-Beam charging up]
We've begun building
a charge large enough
to teleport Thanagar into a supernova!
Rann will be forever safe!
I beg you not to use it.
You'll be murdering innocents.
I'm shocked to hear such cowardice
from you,
especially since Thanagar
was responsible
for the death of your wife,
my beloved daughter, Alanna.
If Alanna were alive,
she'd be ashamed to learn
that instead of trying
to find our daughter Aleea,
you've been using your time
figuring out how to k*ll billions!
How dare you!?
Thanagar nor Rann started
this w*r and I can prove it.
But I'll have to see you face-to-face
to show you the evidence.
I can't do that.
My location is a secret
of the greatest importance,
too sensitive to transmit,
even over a secure line.
But I can use a Zeta-Beam
to transport you here.
Fine. There are five of us.
[engine powering up]
Don't like that transporter stuff
one bit.
Sardath, in memory of Alanna,
I'm here to prevent you
from making a terrible mistake.
Your first Zeta experiment
was sabotaged.
It caused this w*r!
What are you talking about?
[alarm blaring]
We're being approached
by a Thanagarian att*ck ship!
Sinestro! How did he follow us here?
Doesn't matter. Get ready for a fight.
[grunting]
[g*nshots]
[g*ns f*ring in distance]
[Green Arrow] Hal!?
No time to be soft, pal.
[John groans]
Now I'll have the sheer delight
of destroying the last
of the Green Lanterns.
[dramatic music playing]
[coughs]
Damn you.
You gave me no choice.
My master will k*ll you all!
[breath trembling]
[both grunting]
sh*t from behind.
[groans]
[groans]
Come on!
We've got to get to Sardath
before he uses the w*apon.
Good news. Sardath isn't going
to use the w*apon.
He's handing over the CPU
containing the core
of his Zeta technology to me.
The code is downloading
to this storage unit.
The only other place where
this knowledge is stored is my mind.
Excellent.
Hal! What have you done?
What was necessary!
But there's still
a lot of work to be done.
[g*nsh*t]
Oh, you'll have to do better than that.
Hal, what's wrong with you?
We had it all backwards.
He wasn't Sinestro's prisoner.
Hal was his master!
Right you are, John. Right you are.
I have him to thank
for my transformation.
He was the stepping stone
so I could fulfill my true calling...
with these!
After the experiment went haywire,
Sinestro infected me
with an alien parasite.
He called it the Parallax entity!
[choking]
He thought it would bend me to his will.
[groaning]
But instead, it opened my eyes.
It filled me with new purpose.
For too long, I had been blind
to the corrosive effect
of w*r and conflict.
[expl*si*n]
I saw clearly that I was the one
destined to change it!
I could be a better Guardian
than the Guardians.
There was no use for them anymore.
After Sinestro saw my truth and genius,
he became my main acolyte.
[screaming]
With this w*apon,
I can fulfill my true purpose.
I can wipe the universe clean
and create a newer, better one...
Like a God!
[grunts]
[groans]
[groans]
[gasps]
Go. We'll be fine.
[Zeta-Beam charging up]
[sinister music playing]
I've set the Zeta-Beam to destroy
both Rann and Thanagar.
Make the choice and join me
in making a new and better galaxy.
My only choice is to stop you
or die trying.
Hal! This isn't you!
You're right.
The old me would continue
a useless fight against evil
as a Green Lantern.
But the new me is a god.
And I thought you were my friend.
I am your friend, Hal.
Just listen to me and stop this madness!
Try to stop the Zeta-Beam!
Why fight me?
Aren't I doing exactly what you'd do
if you were in my place?
I can see it in your eyes.
You hate what the universe
has become as much as I do.
No, you're wrong.
[groans]
[sweeping music playing]
[Adam] It's locked.
We'll never get through on time.
Maybe John could use his ring.
No. It would take a billion rings
to put a dent in the Zeta force.
It can't be stopped.
But maybe it can be re-directed.
What are you saying?
Shayera, keep an eye
on the Universe for me while I'm gone.
[screams]
You've made me realize
the Green Lantern oath
isn't just some silly rhyme.
It means something after all.
"In brightest day,
in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might
beware my power...
Green Lantern's light."
[groans]
What's happening?
I've finally remembered why I fight.
No!
And why, whatever price
I have to pay, I'm okay with it.
Maybe the Guardians
made the right choice
by making me a Green Lantern.
[groans]
But k*lling you isn't the way.
John, the beam's locked in.
We've tried everything we can think of.
But we cannot stop it from here.
[laughing]
John, you're too soft to be a Lantern.
[breath trembling]
[thuds]
[beeping]
[powering up]
[laughs]
You're too late.
[exhales]
Look!
[sweeping music playing]
For you Alanna.
For a Rannian, he was very brave.
Thanks for saving my life.
I had to k*ll my best friend.
I don't know how I'm supposed
to live with that.
We're all forced to do things
we don't want to.
We can't b*at ourselves up over it,
as long as we do them
for the right reasons.
Thanks for the ride, Shayera.
Now, there's just
one more thing left to do.
Rebuild the Green Lantern Corps.
[sweeping music playing]
I hope to see you soon, John Stewart.
Thanagar will need a Green Lantern
to help watch over it.
[engine starts]
Congratulations, hero.
You're a Green Lantern.
How's it feel?
I'm starving.
Let's get something to eat
and toast our absent friends.
And maybe a few new ones.
