Original subtitles

I thought you were a team player.

Are you a team player, son?

Sorry I'm late.

Martin Jordan.

Yeah, thanks for coming in, Mr. Jordan.

- Hal. - Dad.

Hey, what you got there?

Is that the game ball? Did you guys beat Central?

No, we forfeited because he wouldn't give up the ball.

Is that true?

I was pitching an almost no-hitter, and he brought in Danny Bochner.

Danny Bochner, Dad.

So he just comes in and puts his hand out.

Like, come on.

I'm really going to hand the ball to Danny Bochner?

- Danny Bochner hit you? - Yeah. Then Kyle Alvarez.

- The shortstop? - Uh-huh.

Evan Grunstein, Paul Bennett, Jim Griffith.

Joe Cox, too. And both Rafferty twins.

- I think. - You fought your whole team?

We were up two with one out and no men on.

I had it!

I told Hal he can still fix this.

Just gotta apologize to the other boys, ride the bench a couple games.

And, of course, give up the ball, son.

No men on?

What?

Kid's two outs away from a complete game

and you pull him?

How good is Danny Bochner's stuff?

It doesn't matter how good his fucking stuff is.

Brother...

It's all that fucking matters.

If you put the Popsicle on your nose, it won't swell up.

Who taught you that?

Just makes sense.

Go ahead, put it on.

What is it?

You scared?

No.

- It's okay if you are. - I'm not.

Then put it on.

You know, when I was a little younger than you,

my dad was headed out to go fly in the war.

He was rock solid.

No fear.

Excited, even.

But he told me no matter how good he was,

shit happens.

And that there were only two outcomes.

He would either succeed or he would fail.

And in the event of failure, he said it is a man's responsibility

to make preparations.

And his were locked up in a safe in the back of his closet.

And he handed me a key.

A key to his fail safe.

Literal guy, your grandpa.

He didn't come back.

No, he sure didn't.

What was inside the safe?

Money. Keepsakes.

Other things that stay between me and him.

And just like what's in my safe, it'll stay between you and me.

It's under my toolbox.

Shouldn't Mom have this?

It's not something she can carry.

But you can, Hal.

It's in your blood,

just like it was in Grandpa's,

and mine.

The Jordan boy's legacy.

Fortunately, I'm gonna be around for a long time

flying Boeings from Coast City to Japan.

Until they make me retire at 100.

You can throw it away.

Can't hold on to it forever.

Why not?

'Cause it's fucking exhausting.

Let her rip.

As far as you can.

Go on.

That's a great arm, kid.

Goddammit.

They found the body.

Your body, at the stadium. I'm sorry.

Who the hell are you?

You-- He got shot,

and I'm just trying to figure out who did it. I'm John Stewart.

Wait, you're the trainee, the one I gave the message to.

How long ago was that?

Ten years ago.

- That's my ring. - Yeah.

I trained you. And now, you're Earth's Green Lantern?

Well, shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

I mean...

congratulations.

So, you feel things?

- Yes, I feel things. - Okay, I know you're a backup

of his consciousness, but that's about it.

What do you mean you don't know? How do you not know?

Okay, we don't have time for this. The ring is running out of charge.

- It's got about 2%. - Then recharge the ring.

I can't recharge it. It's not fucking mine.

I'm not the Green Lantern.

Well, what the hell are you?

I'm trying to solve your murder.

- You dug me up! - I had good reason.

- Well, I'd like to hear that. - Look, there's a lockbox,

and whatever's inside, I think, will tell us why he got killed.

It needs one of your voices to open.

I found the ring. I used a trick you taught me.

I knocked it on here, gave it some juice, and I fired you up.

Hey, how'd the funeral go over?

The funeral was great.

What do you mean, "great"?

I mean, it was great, just how sad it was.

Well, everyone showed up,

you know, the Guardians and the Lantern Corps.

Yeah. Gave you the full works.

The sky was lit up. Hal the hero.

- The entire Corps? - Everybody.

- That squirrel show up? - Of course he did.

- How about Mogo? - You kidding me?

Me and Mogo, we stood right here.

Mogo and I.

Mogo's a goddamn planet.

Why are you lying to me, and what the fuck is going on?

I--

I'm not talking to you.

- Aaron, will you do me a favor? - I said I'm not talking to you.

I need 315,000 dollars in cash.

If you get to the bank when it opens,

you can have it to me by the end of the day tomorrow.

Marcus, I'll conference you in with John.

- He needs 300,000 dollars. - He what?

Hey, what's up, Marcus? How you doing, man?

So how about you tell us what the fuck you need 300,000 dollars for?

Listen, Hal Jordan's dead, okay?

And I was the last one with him.

The night he got killed, he and I got into it,

and some waitress saw that,

and now she wants some money to stay quiet.

Jesus, John, did you kill him?

Motherfucker, please, you think I would do that?

I don't know what you would do, Chosen.

You gonna help me or not?

I don't know, man. I'll think about it.

What you mean you think about it?

Aaron!

Aaron!

Fuck!

Greetings, Hal Jordan.

To access the vault, please confirm identity.

Come on, you know how this thing works. You gotta speak for it to open up.

Look, this is the key that we found on your dead body.

Birds are like my thing. Hal knew that.

He wanted me to find this to open up the box, so just talk.

Is that what you want to do? You want to do charades?

Let's go.

Two words. Yeah. First word.

You're this close.

- Who's Marcus? - What?

The guy in the truck with the phone. What's he, your brother or something?

How'd you even hear that? I thought I turned you off.

Apparently not.

You know, I don't need to explain myself to you.

Oh, no, you don't want to explain why you're being blackmailed,

- but I think I have a right to know. - You don't have any rights. You're dead.

And your only purpose is to help me break into that box.

Oh, and so you can find out who killed me.

Who killed Hal.

Maybe you're the one that killed me.

No, I just wish I killed you.

I'd like to talk to the authorities.

- The what? - It's a small town.

There must be a small-town sheriff around here. I wanna talk to him.

Her, and absolutely not.

What do you mean "absolutely not"?

I mean absolutely not. I think it's a bad fucking idea.

Shocking take from the guy who probably murdered me.

You know what? Listen, you ignorant copy

of an ignorant asshole.

After you fucked everything up, you ended up in jail.

And while you were in jail,

you did this thing with the sheriff and somehow she fell in love with you.

That's why you're here.

For her, and now she's dealing with your death.

So pulling up to wherever she's at

with your fucking ghost is not gonna be helpful.

I was in jail?

Yeah.

I was in love?

Yes.

- What was her name? - Kerry.

Kerry.

Kerry.

Box doesn't open til you take me to Sheriff Kerry.

You know, this ring is running out of juice,

and when it does, you're gone forever.

Well, I calculate that we've got a little less than an hour

of talk time left,

so we can either burn it arguing, or you can take me to see the sheriff.

You know, you're even fucking worse dead.

Motherfucker.

John 16:13...

Bernadette, that's your wife?

- The fuck? - Oh, that's my jam there.

What are you doing here? I didn't summon you.

The ring manifests wherever the wearer's thinking,

ergo, you're thinking of me.

What do you mean "summon"? I'm not your genie.

I'm not thinking about you.

And all evidence to the contrary.

Go away!

That feels kind of personal.

Yeah.

How about that?

- How are you doing that? - Doing what?

I'm still here. You're not wearing the ring.

- That's not possible. - Yeah, well, I guess it is.

Not many Lanterns that can do that. Hell, I can't even do that.

Bravo!

Well fucking done, trainee.

That's amazing.

You serious?

What do you mean am I serious? It's goddamn incredible.

What?

It's...

It's kind of funny.

Hal never complimented me before, so it's...

- It's just weird. - It's fucking incredible.

What's that?

These names, they all died?

Yeah. When Hal was training me,

he brought me down here to find a Manhunter,

and a lot went wrong.

- Manhunters are extinct. - There was one left.

Her name was Zoe.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one to fall for a Rushville girl?

Shut the fuck up, man.

Manhunters are very deceptive, very manipulative.

Maybe she got it in your head?

Hal killed her, didn't he?

That's why you hate him.

You know, you don't know what the fuck you talking about.

Listen, I don't know what happened after Jordan last updated me,

but I don't kill.

Not even a Manhunter.

Whatever he did, these people that died, I...

Whatever I am...

I'm not him.

In the fucking car.

The light signal with the big, green joystick on it.

- What's that all about? - It's Guy's.

- How's that? - Guy Gardner,

former gym teacher,

current Green Lantern of Earth. He's got a gold tooth.

A gym teacher with a gold tooth?

You gotta be shitting me.

Nope, and I don't really want to talk about it.

I want to talk about it.

Why would a gold-toothed gym teacher get the ring over you?

Dickie shorts, Lincoln clean

Leanin', checking out the scene

What are you doing?

Gangsta boys, bligga's lit

Oh, I see. That's very clever, trainee.

Riding 'round, talking shit

Yeah, you gotta get me off your mind. Well, I'll tell you.

You know what? It's not gonna work.

Nigga, where you wanna go? You know

The club don't close til four

Hey, Maggie.

You going to the hat ceremony?

Biggest thing to happen in this town since you and your pal destroyed it.

He's not my pal.

Whatever. Do you have the money?

It's on the way.

You know the sheriff's inside that building right now

about to watch her kid announce his future.

You really gonna make me ruin that for her?

I just need a little bit more time.

Yeah, no, okay, that's fine.

Oh, wait,

but what would I measure that time with?

Here you go.

You're on the clock.

What a day.

Thanks, y'all. It's the measure of the man

that he refused to even do a hat ceremony

without his offensive linemen.

So before we get to the business at hand,

I present to you...

Stu Staley, Jack Kavinsky,

Colby Hall, Josh Preston, and Jim Manley.

And now, the quarterback whose butt they protect,

Noah Macon!

Thank you, guys! Thank you!

Thank you guys so much for coming out.

Hope you'll all be at the game tonight.

I've thought a lot about this, obviously.

And what I've realized is the reason we're all here

isn't because of me.

But it's because this town is overdue for something to celebrate.

Yeah!

And that can't truly happen until we beat Chadron in the championship.

So if it's okay with you all, I'm gonna concentrate on that.

I'm not making a decision today.

This here can wait, game can't.

See you all tonight. Pioneers forever!

Yeah? Yeah!

What the fuck are you doing here?

You show up at my son's school?

Listen, I don't want any trouble, man.

Well, I don't give a shit what you want.

- Hey! He's with me. - Okay?

What's that mean? He's with you?

Are you serious?

I had to arrest him for kicking the shit out of you.

Wanna go again in front of Noah?

Fine.

I'll see you at our place. I made my dip.

It's my place now, Billy. But I truly appreciate the dip.

- What are you doing here? - Can we talk somewhere?

Can it wait?

I'm hosting a hundred people at my house to celebrate

a decision my kid just didn't make.

It's about Hal.

Science lab down the hall.

Gimme a minute. I'll meet you there.

Hello, this is Jacinda calling from First National Bank Client Services.

Am I speaking to John Stewart Junior?

Yes, you are.

Sir, your brother has provided your account information and PIN.

We just need a verbal assent from you to proceed

with a cash withdrawal.

- Yep, you have my verbal assent. - Thank you.

And if you can just confirm the withdrawal amount.

$315,000.

Sorry, sir. Could you repeat that?

$315,000.

Thank you, Mr. Stewart. The transaction is approved.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

No, that's great. We're good. Thank you.

Okay.

Before any of this happens,

I wanna tell you that this was not my idea.

And I'm sorry.

Okay, if there was any other way to do this--

- John. - Yes?

- What the fuck are you talking about? - I'm gonna show you.

I just need you to know that this man isn't who you knew.

I mean, it's him,

but it's an earlier version of him, like a recording.

Jesus, you're overexplaining it.

Hello?

You... you're real.

No.

He's a construct from the ring. This--

- Shut up, John. - Shut up, John.

Trainee's right.

I'm not your... him.

I'm not your Hal.

I mean, I...

I would have been.

But I'm...

I guess...

well, I'm what he used to be.

I just wanted to...

meet you, that's all.

We were...

We were close?

Very.

And I was open...

I was...

- I was open with you? - We told each other everything.

We talk about my father?

How he died?

So who killed me?

Well, it could have been anyone. The whole town hated you.

- What about him? John? - John?

What did I say about him?

You talked about John like a football team

who's always giving you hope and then letting you down.

He's the TV you yell at every Sunday,

but you never miss a game 'cause, you know...

big fan.

We should go. Ring's running out of charge,

and once that's out of juice, so is he.

- Where did you get his ring? - He dug me up.

This is about his voice.

So you could get into the box in the storage unit.

What was inside?

I don't know, because he wouldn't show me until he met you.

Pretty romantic, huh?

Romantics don't brag about being romantic, Tex.

Oh, I see what I saw in you.

Okay, can we go, please?

Noah's party.

It's at my house. I'm hosting.

Follow me home.

Do not come inside, or Billy'll throw his fucking dip at you.

I just need to make an appearance

and then we can all head to the storage unit together.

Okay. Yeah, good.

It's nice to see you again.

Fuckin' A.

- She killed me. - Sorry, what?

The way she touched my face, the way she was looking--

- I know guilt when I see it. - Do you know love when you see it?

Okay, fine. She loved me and she killed me.

- Seems very on brand. - An hour ago,

you said that I killed you. So what is it?

Well, that's because I'm evolving.

I'm not gonna sit around here and wait for her either.

You and I got a head start. We need to open that vault now.

I think you're being paranoid.

Well, I think being murdered allows for a little paranoia.

Greetings, Hal Jordan.

To access the vault, please confirm identity.

Listen, you play charades, I'll break your imaginary fingers.

What if I wasn't trying to keep people out?

I was trying to keep something in.

Shit!

What's in the bag?

Canteen, poncho...

some protein bars. You must've been going on a hike.

Shit.

Hey, you...

You hear that sound?

I ever teach you about Einstein-Rosen bridges, trainee?

You taught me two things. Jack and shit.

Well, there's always time to learn.

Einstein's great, but this is more like a tunnel.

Connects two points in the universe by whoever sets it up.

This bad boy right here, this is Point A,

and it leads to another dark matter manhole,

which is Point B, which could go anywhere.

A planet, another galaxy.

When you say whoever set it up, you're talking about yourself, right?

Presumably.

The fuck?

Hey!

Oh, yeah. It's another planet, all right.

Air seems breathable, trainee.

Of course, technically, I'm not sure if I am breathing.

Sorry, let me get this straight.

You got a planet in a box in a storage unit

in the middle of fucking Nebraska?

And a poncho and a gun.

You know what? Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait. We should move this first.

That hot but possibly evil sheriff's gonna be back after her brunch.

We don't want her playing shenanigans at Point A.

You got a fucked-up brain, man.

And there's a bullet in it.

Ask me if I'm afraid.

What?

I said ask me if I'm afraid.

You afraid?

Fuck, no.

Been here before?

I don't know.

All these planets, they kind of blend together

after a while.

You know, it's weird.

I feel like I have.

If you didn't make Lantern, how would you get off-planet?

I didn't. That's why it's weird.

Hey, there's an island in the middle of that lake.

Yeah.

That's not all there is.

What the fuck is that?

Why don't you fly up there, go take a look?

Because I didn't teach you how to fly yet,

- and the only thing I taught you was-- - Jack and shit.

You project me up there, and I'll take a look.

Just need to...

Just focus on the structure.

- Right. - And use your imagination.

Thanks for the lesson.

The whole city's abandoned.

Not a single living soul up there.

That's because they're all down here.

We aren't the only ones looking for a Manhunter.

I got grabbed by this guy, Antaan.

He told me that he was the last of his kind,

and I didn't believe him, so...

he injected me with his people's experience and...

man, I felt it.

Like it happened to me.

I was in this city, and there was this gas,

and when they breathed the gas, they got so fucking scared,

they were terrified.

They started killing each other...

and themselves.

I just didn't know the city was in the sky.

I didn't understand what they were jumping off.

Now, I do.

What the fuck was Hal doing here?

Well, I'm guessing that's his boat over there.

Let's find out.

You gonna help out or you just gonna keep staring at me?

No, no. Rowing takes energy.

I wouldn't want to burn through our talking time.

- You know, I'd be okay with that. - I'm sure you would be.

- You got something on your mind? - I do.

You told your brother you were the last one to see me alive.

You don't live in Nebraska.

You don't like Nebraska.

You don't like me.

So why did you come back?

- I didn't kill you, man. - I don't believe you did,

but that doesn't answer my question.

Maybe I don't want to answer it.

Well, I'm not gonna exist after sunrise,

so why don't you just indulge a ghost, huh?

I came back because my mother told me

that you wanted to apologize.

Your mother?

She said you told her.

- Apparently, y'all were friends. - How'd that come about?

I don't know, and I don't fucking care.

Did I?

- Did I apologize? - No, you didn't, actually.

You told me that I owed you an apology, and you proceeded to give me a lecture.

- That must be why you sucker-punched me. - Yeah, one of the reasons, sure.

One of the reasons? What, you got a list of 'em? Let's hear it.

I got a bunch. You got me kicked out of the Marines.

You drove a car off of a cliff with me inside.

You lied to me.

You crashed my car into a pole with me inside.

You disrespected me, and you disrespected the institution.

How could I drive you off a cliff and then crash you into a pole?

Separate incidents, motherfucker!

All right, take it easy.

- Sorry. - I don't want your fucking sorry.

- What do you want? - His sorry.

Well, he's dead. And if you took the time to see

that he was in trouble instead of trying to attack him

- every chance you got, maybe you'd... - Dickie shorts, Lincoln's clean

We're gonna do that again, are we?

Leanin', checking out the scene

Gangsta boys, bligga's lit

It's not gonna work. You know why it's not gonna work?

- Ridin' round, talking shit - Because you don't want me gone.

Hey, Junior!

Hey, Junior!

Hey, Junior!

Dad!

What are you waiting for?

Are you afraid, soldier?

- No, sir! - I can't hear you, motherfucker!

- I said no, sir! - Then take the goddamn shot!

You are scared!

Scared that they know you never wanted to be a Lantern!

- That's not true! - You just wanted

- to draw your little pictures... - You know that's not true!

- ...because you're scared! Then shoot! - Shut up!

Shoot, motherfucker! Come on!

- Shoot me, you goddamn coward! - Shut the fuck up!

- Shoot me! Shoot me! - Shut the fuck up!

You tried to drown me.

The fuck are you talking about? I just saved you, you idiot.

You went nuts.

You were seeing things that weren't there,

you were screaming about being a coward

and then you pulled that gun out and you stuck it to your head

and you were gonna do it til I tackled your ass.

It's the gas.

What made everybody kill each other and themselves

is still here in the clouds,

in the water, in the rain.

I told you that poncho was important.

My father killed himself.

He was a test pilot, so nobody had any reason

to believe it was anything other than an accident.

A couple months before, he...

he told me there was a safe underneath his workbench.

Anything happened to him,

he wanted me to be the first one to open it.

Then something happened, all right.

I did. I opened it.

Cash and coins.

Old photographs.

And a note.

My old man, he was convinced we'd be better off without him.

He said he had that pain his whole life.

Said it was getting worse.

He couldn't hide it.

He couldn't bear to let us see it.

Couldn't bear to let us see him.

He told me all this because my grandfather left it in a note to him.

Had the same pain.

Passed down generation to generation, father to son.

They called it the Jordan boy's legacy.

Man, I'm not fearless 'cause I'm brave. I'm fearless 'cause I'm broken.

You told me about that key with the little bird on it.

It opened the safe I left behind.

I wondered if there was anything in there that would lead me to my own note.

You think...

You think you killed yourself?

I remember you said you thought Kerry killed you.

Maybe she just found my dead body and tossed the gun away.

Covered it up to protect me.

Like you protected your dad?

Yeah, like I protected my dad.

Hal, I'm so sorry, man.

That's the first time you ever called me, Hal.

Yeah.

Shit.

I lost the gun.

Well, it's a good thing you got the greatest weapon

in the universe on your finger.

How much charge is left on it?

Maybe you shouldn't have lost the gun.

Lay down on the ground or I'll slice his throat open.

Who the fuck are you?

I'm the one taking your boat and you're the one telling me

where to find your portal off this godforsaken dead world.

- Yeah, that's not gonna happen. - I will kill him.

Go ahead. I don't really like the guy.

That's true. He really doesn't like me.

- See? - This is not a bluff.

Trainee.

- They're playing our song. - Quiet!

You must be John Stewart.

Great arm, kid.
