Young Justice s03e24 Episode Script
Into The Breach
"Luck?" That's all you're gonna say? How did you Oh.
Never mind.
Miss Martian and the are following their lead We'll follow ours.
And what is our lead? Why are we here, exactly? Didn't the Team search Granny's studio already? Vic? [sighs.]
Okay, for a while now, I've been struggling to figure out the full extent of my cyber-abilities - [phone beeps.]
- It all started when I intercepted a text from Violet to Brion.
You hacked his phone? Uh, no.
The cybernetic part of my brain just intercepted the text.
Things like that would happen at random.
I couldn't control it.
And back then, I didn't want to.
But after my recent Mobius-Tech infusion, I kinda got a handle on this "gift".
[screams.]
I can reach out with my mind to anything on the web or the cloud or, well, anything electronic, really.
That's how I sensed Motherbox was in danger at Granny's house.
So ever since Tara told us Granny took Violet, I've been searching any and everything related to Gretchen Goode, Granny Goodness or Goode World Studios.
How's that different from what Oracle's been doing? It's not and it is.
Oracle travels the information superhighway.
I become the highway itself.
Okay, Mr.
Highway, what did you find out? - Uh, let me see if I can show you.
- [beeping.]
Ooo-Kay, since when can you do that? First time.
Doing a lot of stuff for the first time these days.
Anyway, I jacked into the studio's proprietary network, and found this.
Building Sixteen, a storage facility for props and costumes with no network connectivity at all.
Gee, that's not suspicious.
Right.
So I checked again and found a clear Apokoliptan signature, which I could sense, 'cause apparently that's a thing I can do now.
Didn't the already search that building? They must have missed something.
If there's even a one percent chance Violet's there, we have to go in.
Yeah, but we go in smart.
And two men short? What about Static and Geo-Force? Didn't want to get Brion's hopes up.
And Virgil texted he's still with Jeff.
So it's just us.
[drones and beeps.]
No heat signatures in the building, so no people.
It's safe to go.
Or, you know, "safe".
[Overlord drones.]
Yes, I feel it, too.
Company's coming.
[theme music playing.]
Man, this is nuts.
Dude, you got us in.
You can wait on the Bio-Ship.
You don't have to come along.
Yeah, well, thanks, but Violet's saved my butt so many times, I gotta do this for her.
Time for a little recon.
[imitates laser.]
[imitates laser.]
Look, look, I'm a Klamulon! Kid, what are you doing? Besides trying to tick me off? Come on! The Klamulons are classic! They have heads shaped like clams! Not a cheezy aesthetic choice at all.
[scoffs.]
You guys have no taste.
- Anyway, I checked the whole place - [object clatters.]
- [glass shatters.]
- twice.
Nothing unusual.
Something definitely feels weird here.
Almost, almost There! [Wonder Girl.]
Whoa [machine droning.]
So, a big sci-fi machine, making a loud, nefarious [imitates droning sound.]
I'm guessing it's Klamulon-tech.
[Scarab.]
The Kid Flash is incorrect.
It is Apokoliptan in origin.
Not compatible.
"Not compatible.
" Why do I have the sinking feeling I'll be hearing that a lot tonight? [Victor.]
Give me a second.
I can figure it out.
I speak its language.
You speak? [imitates droning.]
[all screaming.]
[beeps.]
[line ringing.]
[all screaming.]
[Scarab.]
Not compatible! Not compatible! Shut down imminent! [screaming.]
Hold on, guys, I'm coming! [grunts.]
Dios mio! I'll get you out.
Start with Jaime! Right.
I got you.
No! [grunts.]
Can't get bearings! [grunts.]
No good.
Can't Gotta beat this.
[panting.]
Let 'em go, Granny.
[laughs.]
And why would I do that? It's your fault they're in this position.
Such a willful child.
But then, I always was too soft on my favorite star.
Don't pretend you care.
You only pulled me out so you could watch me watch my friends suffer.
That I appreciate the value of your suffering is what makes me an excellent Hollywood Producer.
But in this case, I'm trying to do you a favor.
You need discipline only your Granny can provide.
So I offer a fair fight.
Beast Boy versus Gretchen Goode.
[laughs.]
Winner take all.
Deal.
Mmm, goody! Though it's a shame I can't stream the battle.
The numbers would kill.
[sighs.]
Overlord, merge, please.
[Overlord droning.]
[grunts.]
[Gretchen grunting.]
I believe I told you, Garfield, you have no idea what I really am.
[all grunting.]
- [screaming.]
- [droning.]
Come on.
Come on.
Whoa.
Double-Whoa.
- [drones.]
- [gasps.]
Did not think this through.
[roaring.]
You see, child, that's why you need this lesson.
No matter how nasty you think you are - [grunts.]
- [groans.]
there's always someone nastier.
[Beast Boy.]
Nastier than this? - Rude, rude, rude! - [roars.]
[groaning.]
[Gretchen chuckling.]
Don't quit on me now, boy.
Our lesson's just getting started.
[grunts.]
[screaming.]
[groans.]
[hisses.]
[Gretchen grunting.]
[chuckles.]
Is that really all you've got? [Beast Boy.]
Just getting started.
[roars.]
[all yelling.]
[grunts.]
[screams.]
[gasping.]
[snarling.]
You stubborn child.
Haven't you gleaned what you face? You cannot win.
[groans.]
[Beast Boy groaning.]
Mmm, lesson learned.
[Beast Boy.]
No [groans.]
You're the one slow of study.
[groans.]
I'm not dead.
Why am I not dead? This This isn't how I look anymore.
This isn't real.
I took that cyber-Highway straight to Granny's cyber-stooge.
Meaning what happens here is all about who wants it more.
And no one ever wants a win more than Vic Stone! [grunting.]
But the old Vic can't beat this bruiser, so I better sub the new Vic in the game.
Now we're talking! You're the true source of Granny's power, aren't you? [grunts.]
You're the techno-cancer she's using to hurt my friends.
Well, guess who brought the techno-cure! Booyah.
You need to learn from your mistakes.
Overlord! Who told you to end the lesson? Overlord? [Beast Boy.]
Lesson One.
Don't come to the party alone.
I am so cranky right now.
El D, check on Jaime and Vic.
Whoa, yeah, okay.
Super-metabolism's kicked in.
Mind if I play? Be my guest.
[Kid Flash.]
Worst grandma ever! You will all suffer for these transgressions.
Lesson Two, don't make promises you can't keep.
- [groans.]
- Jaime? [Scarab.]
I have recovered, Jaime Reyes.
Oh, sure, now you're recovered.
Fight's this way, hermano.
We're not going to the fight! Come on! [groaning.]
What are you doing, boy? [Beast Boy.]
Teaching Lesson Three.
Don't get distracted.
What? [grunting.]
You with me? Absolutely.
No! No! No! [Overlord drones.]
If I hurry, I can follow.
[both grunt.]
She'll lead me right to Violet! No, dude, wait for back up.
Blue nearly died.
Gar got his butt kicked.
We didn't find Halo.
Granny escaped, and now Vic's vanished.
So did we just lose? [Granny Goodness and Gretchen screaming.]
[boom tube opens.]
[screaming continues.]
Whoa.
I knew it! [Granny Goodness groans.]
That machine kept Granny separated into two distinct [groaning.]
Don't miss.
[yells.]
No, no, no, what did I do? [groans.]
What What's happening? [sighs in relief.]
[Violet.]
No.
[gasps.]
Have to heal them.
Violet, wait! I know you want to fix this, but Yes.
I remember.
I've been repolarized.
If I simply act on my instincts, I'll continue to enslave everyone to the Anti-Life Equation.
But I can't leave him any of them like this.
And I believe there is a way.
[groaning.]
Better find it soon! Rainbow Power.
Cool.
[chanting in alien language.]
[all groaning.]
Violet! Brion! No! You naughty child! You've ruined everything! - [growling.]
- Violet, look out! [Granny Goodness yelling.]
No! No! No! No! No! [Violet.]
Don't worry about Granny.
I have a few lessons to teach her.
But first Help me destroy this! It's working! Keep pouring it on! [droning.]
Uh, we may be doing too good a job! It's gonna blow! Huh, still not dead.
Admit it, you'd all be chipped beef on toast without ol' Guy.
[all grunt.]
[droning stops.]
Oh.
My Overlord.
[chuckling.]
Oh, child, please! Everything Granny did was for your own good.
If you only knew what was coming, how pointless it was to fight, you would thank me.
Enough.
Your words are poison.
Insolent girl! [grunts.]
[groans.]
Life and Free Will have triumphed over Anti-Life.
Remember, I know how to destroy the Ghost Dimension, So there's no point in rebuilding your device.
[Superboy.]
Oh, and one other thing, if you're wondering how we found you, you can thank Vandal Savage.
He sent us and wanted you to know.
[yells.]
[Geo-Force.]
Violet! Brion! Um, let's check on those meta-teen prisoners.
I think we'll find the Markovian-Eight and many others who'd appreciate a return ticket to Earth.
[M'gann.]
So where are we? [Superboy.]
Where? We're on Granny's [M'gann.]
Conner, stop.
Where are we? [Superboy.]
I I don't know, M'gann.
I just don't know.
I have reliable intelligence that my brother M'comm has returned to Mars.
With Mantis under arrest, it's probably safe for you to return to New Genesis now.
I mean, if that's what you'd like.
Think about it.
You're our friend and more than welcome to stay on Earth.
We love having you with us.
But we'll respect whatever decision you make.
[clicks tongue.]
[Granny Goodness.]
Yes, I failed you, Lord Darkseid.
But all my works in your name, including the implementation of the Anti-Life Equation, was sabotaged by none other than Vandal Savage.
[Beast Boy.]
Ugh, I totally blew it! I never should have followed Vic's lead alone.
You didn't.
You brought us.
And Vic.
Now he and Violet are lost forever.
Vic! Violet! I knew you'd make it! [chuckles.]
Good to be back.
Indeed, it is.
There's more good news.
The League will soon return to Earth with hundreds of rescued meta-teens.
Wow.
The Taos Youth Center's going to need more beds.
Maybe more buildings.
And Granny? She got away.
But we've shut down her operation in space.
Plus I got proof Gretchen Goode and Granny Goodness are one-in-the-same.
Dude! You M.
V.
P.
'd this puppy! Nah, man.
Violet's the All-Star.
She rescued everyone from the Anti-Life Equation.
Which would not have happened without your intervention, Victor.
I agree with Garfield.
You are the crusher of magic today.
All in favor of Vic joining the Outsiders? [all.]
Aye! And if Static were here, I know he'd vote aye, too! Whoa, whoa.
How 'bout asking whether that's something Vic wants? Uh If being a public hero is a concern, you're also welcome to join the Team.
But doing something heroic today does not obligate you to join the Team or the Outsiders.
Hmm? [clicks tongue.]
You know, when I played football, I was never afraid of the spotlight.
[chuckles.]
Man, I sought it out.
But this This is in service of a better cause.
So I guess I guess I'm an Outsider.
[all clamoring excitedly.]
Now you'll need a cryptonym, a, uh, nom de guerre.
You, uh, a what now? Your code-name.
Any ideas? I believe "Hot Lava" is still available.
Uh, why would I [chuckles.]
That's what is called an inside joke.
Choose whatever code-name suits you.
Hmm.
For too long, I've been running from what I am.
Who I am.
It's time I embraced all my freakishness.
I am Cyborg.
Welcome to the Outsiders, Cyborg.
- [all laughing.]
- Booyah.
This has been a good day.
[chuckling.]
[high-pitched whing.]
[cars honking.]
[car door closes.]
Whatever you used on Killer Frost did the trick.
We're way out-trending the Outsiders now.
Happy, Boss? [theme music playing.]
Never mind.
