(male narrator) Previously on "Justice League.."
Aah!
(Jason) 'Morgaine le Fey.'
When Camelot fell, Merlin was able to hide
the philosopher stone from her.
'With it, she can resurrect Camelot'
'and place her son, Mordred, on the throne.'
Jason Blood. Doesn't he ever give up?
Argh!
My'ria'h?
I am truly home.
(Etrigan) 'You fool!'
Only a weak-minded simpleton
'will fall for this illusion.'
Don't trust the Martian.
He's been tainted by that witch.
(Morgaine) 'One of them must have the stone.'
(Flash) 'Harv Hickman? The magazine publisher?'
Hmm..
Come in. Come in.
J'onn, snap out of it!
Argh!
(Etrigan) 'You let her get away, didn't you?'
Admit it, Martian.
It's all your fault.
[theme music]
[music continues]
Ah..
(J'onn) 'Lie still.'
You have a concussion and two cracked ribs.
Argh!
I've survived worse.
- I am truly sorry. - Why?
I hesitated in battle
and it nearly cost you your life.
Perhaps Etrigan is right.
Perhaps I have been tainted by that sorceress.
I know what I experienced was a mere illusion.
But it felt so real.
The urge to embrace it was almost more than I could bear.
'Sometimes I believe I would do anything'
'to see my loved ones again.'
'You can't imagine how that feels.'
[upbeat music]
Home theater, complete gym, game room.
And this is one of my most prized possessions.
- A genuine Greek-- - Roman.
Excuse me?
This statue is a Roman copy.
- How do you know that? - Trust her on this one.
I'm guessing, she posed for the original.
Oh, a model, eh?
I thought so.
[upbeat music]
[women laughing]
Ha-ha ha-ha!
Uh, I've got a fresh lead. Carry on.
I have the power to jump-start your career, babe.
But I'm guessing you already knew that.
And what's the source of your power?
Some kind of crystal, or stone?
How'd you guess?
I'd love to see your stone, Mr. Hickman.
Please, c-call me Harv.
[instrumental music]
So...while I was working on the castle excavation
I found this.
It changed my life.
Soon, I had everything I'd ever dreamed of.
Cars, cash, girls.
Let me understand this.
You possess the most powerful object in the world
and yet all you wished for is money and women?
What else is there?
Err.
thud
whoosh
Uh, uh!
- Uh! - Oh! Aah!
[dramatic music]
At last, my quest is over.
The stone is mine.
- Not yet. - Whoa!
zwing
smash
My Neiman. Eh!
Aa-aah!
Aa-ah!
grrr
Uh!
Superman?
Yeah, he's a close personal friend.
thud
smash
What?
Uh!
Excuse me, ladies.
You okay?
Morgaine's here.
Yeah, I kind of gathered that.
thud
We gotta get outta here.
- Aa-ah! - Hey!
Get out at the back. I'll keep it busy.
(female #1) 'What's going on?'
Hey, Cecil, over here.
grrr
thud
What, are you blind?
You can do better than that.
O-oh!
Oh!
Aa-ah!
Uh-uh!
Uh.
Sorry, Harv.
Ah! Ah! Argh!
clank
thud
Argh!
Come to me.
No!
Eh, argh!
Aah!
Uh!
Fools, why are you still here?
You have the stone. Run!
I never run from a battle.
Get the stone as far away from le Fey as you can.
I'll handle the witch.
Thornhead's right. Go!
Alright, but you get these people away from here.
- Got it. - Don't stop for anything!
[dramatic music]
crash
Stand aside, beast.
I stood aside for you once.
Never again!
zap
Aa-ah!
thud
Is that the best you can do
my immortal beloved?
Ah! Ooh!
Ooh!
thud
Time to finish this with more than just a kiss.
swoosh
What are you doing?
You can thank me later.
Aa-argghh!
boom
Aah, ah..
Oh.
'Yo, Hickman!'
Keep it down! Some of us are trying to sleep.
frizz
swish
beep
Ha! I'd like to see her try to get it now.
Be careful what you wish for, little man.
Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine?
As far as I'm concerned, this mission's over.
The world's safe again
and I for one, I'm gonna kick back.
So go find some other house to haunt.
- He didn't mean that. - Do you think I care?
[instrumental music]
(My'ria'h) 'J'onn?'
My'ria'h.
J'onn, the children and I are waiting for you.
Come home.
Please, come home.
No!
It's a lie!
Must fight it.
[dramatic music]
(Le Fey) He's weakening.
I can sense it.
He just needs a little more coaxing.
Flash is right.
There's something unsettling about your friend.
When he stares, it's like
he's looking into my very soul.
True.
But I'd rather have him with us
than against us.
frizz
We are not alone.
[dramatic music]
Hey, who turned out the lights?
Yikes!
(all) Argh.
swoosh
blip
[dramatic music]
Argh!
Hmph!
thud
clank
Aah!
thud
Argh!
thud
A little help here!
bang
Uh, thanks.
[dramatic music]
Where is J'onn?
[music continues]
(My'ria'h) 'J'onn...J'onn?'
- 'Listen to me.' - No!
J'onn, come back to me.
I'm waiting for you.
Stop it!
Ah!
swoosh
blip blip
[dramatic music]
Argh!
- Hrmph! - Aa-ah!
- Ah! - Argh.
[music continues]
Aaa-ah!
Hmph!
Uh! Ah!
Uh!
How many of these things are there?
Aa-ah!
- Brwah! - Uh!
Flash, we need a maelstrom.
- A what? - A whirlwind!
Run fast! Now!
Right.
Grhh!
Ah!
swish swish
By the cold heart of Hera
I command you..
...freeze!
- Aa-aa-ah! - Aa-ah!
swish swish
Faster!
- Faster! - You got it.
swish swish swish
crash crash
crash
Ah, uh!
That was a real pain in the butt.
Is everyone okay?
We're fine, but has anyone seen J'onn?
Spread out and search every deck.
(Etrigan) 'Don't bother.'
The Martian's gone..
...and so is the stone.
[dramatic music]
You, stupid, ignorant
pathetic excuses for heroes!
It can't be.
Oh, really, your highness?
Take another look.
I've pursued that witch for centuries!
Yet you blindly ignored my warnings
and doomed the world.
Enough!
The truth hurts, doesn't it, princess?
Why don't you go straight to--
More bad news. The Javelin's gone.
And J'onn's access code is still punched
into the hangar controls.
Anymore questions?
(Wonder Woman) 'Watchtower to Javelin 7.'
'Come in, Javelin 7.'
'J'onn, if you're there, answer!'
'Please, J'onn--'
beep
He's turned off the comlink.
He belongs to le Fey now.
We'll stop him. I promise.
Like you promised to protect the stone?
We'll do whatever it takes, Etrigan.
Are you saying you're prepared
to take out one of your own?
I repeat, whatever it takes.
Listen, isn't this kind of academic?
We're stranded here, remember?
Maybe not.
Get a lock on the Javelin.
You asked when you would receive your kingdom, my son.
(Morgaine) 'Before the clock strikes 12:00.'
Before this All Hallows' Eve ends..
...the world will be yours.
A castle, mother.
I must have my own castle.
And so you will.
[dramatic music]
frizz
[music continues]
Ah!
(Morgaine) 'Behold...here is your palace.'
Ha-ha!
With the stone's infinite power
I can make this last forever.
swoosh
And now, the final piece arrives.
Come forth, my noble knight.
bang
Ding, fifth floor, sporting goods
it's hardware, evil sorceresses.
Ah.
zap
Aa-ah!
[dramatic music]
- Argh! - Ah!
Aah!
zap
swish
Get out of my castle!
boom
Whoa, the kid's got chops, too!
The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
swish
- Uh! - Argh!
Imbecile, that harpy has you charmed.
She'll never give you what you want.
Stand aside, demon!
- Argh! - Ah!
Argh.
thud
Aah!
Aah! Uh!
She has promised to use
the stone's power to restore Mars.
All honey and lies.
Your reward will be an eternal purgatory for you in this world.
I don't care.
This is my last chance for happiness.
My last chance to embrace my family.
You'll embrace them again..
...after the worms devour your bones!
Aah!
Oh!
Argh!
Oh!
I'll not be denied.
Aa-argh!
bling bling
boom
Yield...or suffer my unending wrath.
swish swish
Ah! Oh.
pew pew

roar
Aah!
Argh!
Grrr!
thump thump
Grrr!

Play time's over.
Mother!
Unhand him!
Aah! Oh!
What?
(Wonder woman) 'Aah!'
Aah!
zap
boom
Stand and fight, blast you!
Argh!
zap
Nothing will keep me from my loved ones!
Especially, not you!
[instrumental music]
Aa-aa-aah!
Uh-huh!
[instrumental music]
(Morgaine) 'The stone.'
Give it to me.
[instrumental music]
J'onn, my love, we're waiting.
No.
What have you done?
Huh?
You could have had anything you dreamed of.
Your family, your whole world
could have been yours again.
The price was too high.
I see that now.
You can no longer tempt me.
Have we lost, mother?
Only this battle, my son.
But not the war.
frizz
- Ah! - Ah!
Ah! Aah!
What did I miss?
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
It's over.
My friends, I have failed you.
In my yearning for my old family
I almost lost my new one.
Please, accept my humble apology..
...and my resignation from the Justice League.
Resignation?
Wait, the demon was wrong about you Martian.
You redeemed yourself here today.
- Did I? - Yeah, who knew?
Under that goofy green skin
I guess, you're human after all.
I only wish I had had your strength centuries ago.
But I'm still cursed
and must walk alone throughout eternity.
[instrumental music]
Poor man.
May he someday find the peace he seeks.
