Titans (2018) s04e12 Episode Script

They changed the code.
What?
We gotta get down there. Keep trying.
[EXPLOSION]
I've got this.
No, wait.
[RUMBLING]
[TRIGON] You have summoned me.
Yes, I have.
[TRIGON] You had doubts.
You hesitated.
Your soul was racked by fear
and weakened with confusion.
It was.
But you overcame that.
You are the true son of Trigon.
You're not angry about Mother?
She was a vessel,
nothing more.
She told me that when you rose,
we would rule together as equals.
[TRIGON GROWLS]
But of course.
[RAVEN] He's lying.
That's all he ever does, is lie.
[SHUDDERING]
Is she okay?
She's done this sort of thing before.
I don't like it.
Just give her some time.
My daughter.
I can't tell you how
glad I am to see you.
I've thought of you. Often.
I'm sure you have.
Sebastian.
You know you can't trust him.
He will kill you.
Why would you bring him here?
He has something I need.

[BROTHER BLOOD BREATHING HEAVILY]
[BROTHER BLOOD] Rachel,
you're the only family I have left now.
So, what do you say, hmm?
You and me against the world.
You know I can't.
You've gone too far.
We're not family anymore.
Well, that's a shame.
[SIZZLING]
[BROTHER BLOOD] You know,
Mom and Dad were delicious,
but I think I still have a
little bit of room for you.
[GRUNTS]
- [GASPS]
- Rachel, are you okay?
Something happened to Conner.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Trigon came back.
And Brother Blood killed him.
He absorbed his power
and his evil.
It was like he absorbed his soul.
I don't know how we're gonna stop him.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Sebastian did this to him.
He's not Sebastian anymore.
Call him what he is.
Brother Blood.
[SOBBING] Can you feel anything?
[DICK] No.
Come on, let's get him back to the RV.
[KRYPTO WHINING]
What is that?
Red Kryptonite combined with
nitroglycerin and epinephrine.
S.T.A.R. Labs had it
designed to stabilize Kal-El
if the worst ever happened.
Will it work?
I don't know. It's never been used.
[EKG FLATLINING]
[SIGHS]
[KRYPTO WHINING]
[EKG FLATLINING]
Now what?
[KRYPTO WHINING]
[LINE RINGING]
Mark Hopkins Hotel?
I'd like to make a reservation
for the Top of the Mark, please.
This Friday night.
Six. Party of six.
Seven o'clock's fine. Thank you.
[SIGHS] We'll be there.
Remember the first day we met?
At the roller rink. Yeah.
Yeah, I really didn't like you.
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't like you either.
[CHUCKLES] Why not?
'Cause you stole my car.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry about that.
I'm really glad I took the
time to get to know you.
Sounds like you're
trying to say goodbye.
Please don't.
We're not there.
Maybe we are.
I'm not liking this.
Well, there's not a lot to like.
I think Kory's really planning
on sacrificing herself.
Well, maybe Dick's right.
Maybe there's another way.
[SIGHS] Like what?
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
There. Dick, I have eyes on him.
Chemical warehouse. Rail yards.
Why is he going there?
Because it's not just
a chemical warehouse,
it's a government black site.
[SIGHS]
They're storing biochemical weapons.
Kory, change of plans.
[BEAST BOY] Looks like
everyone left in a hurry.
The biochemical materials must be
stored in the underground bunker.
Come on.
[ROBIN] Hey, guys.
Nice. Very nice.
[BEAST BOY] Robin 3.0.
What do you think? [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Third time's the charm.
[BROTHER BLOOD] You
shouldn't have come here.
[GRUNTS]
Is that all you got?
Fuck this dude.
Double fuck this dude.
[RAVEN GRUNTS]
It was an illusion.
He was never really here.
Are you sure?
The whole thing was a distraction.
From what?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Welcome to S.T.A.R. Labs.
Making tomorrow, today.
All international metahuman
conference delegates,
please report to conference room 12.
Sebastian.
What are you doing here?
Ah. Hello, Dr. Espenson.
I was just stopping by because I heard
that S.T.A.R. Labs was
instrumental in shutting down
the game I developed.
I I don't know what
you're talking about.
It was the only thing
that mattered to me.
The one good and pure part of myself
that I wanted to share with the world,
but that didn't matter to you, did it?
Did it?
[ALARM BEEPING]
Unsanctioned metahuman
detected in main lobby.
[GROANS]
You need to leave.
[SIGHS]
If people like you had just
been a little bit nicer to me,
none of this would've had to happen.
[GASPS]
None of that matters anymore, does it?
I'm going to need access
to your Icarus Lab.
[DR. ESPENSON SCREAMING]
But let's just keep that
between you and me, hmm?
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
[EXHALES]
Well, that works, too.
[EKG FLATLINING]
- Any sign?
- Nothing.
We've checked news feeds,
residual spectral signatures.
Both negative.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
[TIM] Holy shit. Bernard.
- [ALARMS BLARING]
- Yeah, it's me. Hi. Um
we've got trouble.
[TIM] Hang on, let
me put you on speaker.
It's Bernard.
Are you okay?
[BERNARD] Brother Blood is here.
Gar, S.T.A.R. Labs.
Yeah, I'm on it.
[BERNARD] It's bad. Um, and
[ENGINE STARTS]
He killed everyone he saw. And
it's only luck he didn't see me.
What is he doing now?
He's headed to the Icarus Lab.
What's the Icarus Lab?
Dick, we need to tell them.
All right, go ahead.
S.T.A.R. Labs has always been
about the betterment of mankind.
We debate our research and development
and the possible consequences
of our actions.
Project Icarus is as close to
the line as we've ever gone.
Does anyone else hate
where this is going?
Dick, you wanna catch us up?
It's a wormhole.
Sorry, you mean like A wormhole?
[BERNARD] Pretty much. Yeah.
The Icarus Gate is controllable.
It's programmable.
It allows for any object to be
sent anywhere in the universe.
From something as small as a single atom
to as large as an entire planet.
I just sent you the data.
It's completely operational.
Except for one small problem.
There isn't enough
energy on Earth to run it.
Why would Brother Blood
want access to a wormhole?
He wants to destroy Tamaran.
We represent everything he's not.
He can't rule until there's no
trace of us left. Gar, stop the RV.
Kory, wait!
[RV DOOR SHUTS]
[CAR ENGINE STARTS]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[DICK] You trying to steal my car again?
[KORY] You knew about the Icarus Lab?
I knew it existed. I didn't
know this was gonna happen.
It's not just Tamaran,
you know. It's Earth too.
He's gonna destroy both.
I have to stop him.
No, we have to stop him.
[KORY SIGHS]
I have a plan.
[SCOFFS] Better be a damn good one.
Bernard thinks he can
get us inside the lab.
Once we're in, we can
destroy the Icarus Gate.
Brother Blood can't use
it if you blow it up.
Hmm.
We save Earth, save Tamaran.
Live to fight another day.
It's just putting off the inevitable.
Maybe. Maybe not.
But at least with my plan,
no one has to die. Not today.
Okay. Fine.
But I'm going alone.
Bad idea. He knows you're coming.
You could get killed
before you get a shot off.
I'm done asking anyone else to
risk their lives to stop him.
[DICK] It's not your
decision to make, it's theirs.
We're stronger together,
you know we are.
But we're even on me stealing your car.
[CHUCKLES]
- [ALARMS BLARING]
- [MAN OVER SPEAKER] This is an emergency.
All personnel evacuate S.T.A.R. Labs
and seek shelter.
This is not a drill.
Repeat, this is not a drill.
[WOMAN OVER SPEAKER] Unknown
presence detected. Please identify.
My name is Brother Blood.
And I'm going to change the world.
[MACHINES POWERING UP]
Good evening. My name is Calliope.
How may I help you?
Calliope.
I need to engage your Icarus Gate.
What is the password?
Azarath Metrion Zinthos.
Password accepted.
The Icarus Gate is not working
at full capacity, is it?
No. The Icarus Gate requires
1,000 zettajoules
to become fully operative.
Equivalent to the thermal
solar output of 10,000 suns.
[CALLIOPE] Ten thousand
and eighty-nine Earth suns.
If a Tamaranean were to use
their power in this room,
would that be enough
to activate the Gate?
[CALLIOPE] Correct. A typical
Tamaranean can generate
well over 1,000 zettajoules of energy.
[ALARMS BLARING]
- Bernard.
- [SHUDDERING BREATHS]
You okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Where is the Icarus Lab?
The top floor.
Well, if we're gonna
do this, let's do it.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING]
- [BREATHING DEEPLY]
- I'll be back, okay?
Sooner or later,
we all have to face our demons.
By now, Brother Blood
probably knows we're coming.
Once we're inside, distract
him for as long as possible.
Long enough for Kory
to destroy the gate.
[CREATURE SNARLS]
Bernard, what have you got?
All right. Keep heading for the
north staircase. It's all clear.
If he's got any surprises,
I'm not seeing them.
Kory.
Dick. Dick!
Kory's gone.
Tim! Gar!
[RAVEN] Kory!
[WHINING]
[KRYPTO WHINING]
[EKG BEEPS]
Kory! Kory!
[NIGHTWING] Tim! Anything?
[ROBIN] She's not down here.
You don't think she'd go
off on her own, do you?
No, she would've said something.
There's gotta be another reason.
Nightwing, I see her.
She's outside the Icarus
Lab. But something's wrong.
There's a metahuman assault
squad guarding the door.
[GUN COCKS]
[BROTHER BLOOD OVER SPEAKERS]
Gentlemen, allow my guest to pass.
Why would he bring her up
there? She could kill him.
Not if he's controlling her.
Why not put a spell on all of us?
'Cause he needs her for something.
Oh, my God, Dick.
Starfire's not his problem,
she's his solution.
He's gonna try to use
her to power the Gate.
[CREATURE SNARLS]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Hello, Kory.
I bet you wish you killed
me when you had the chance.
Back then you weren't Brother Blood.
You deserved the right to make
a choice about your future.
This is who I always was.
You just liked me
better when I was weak.
Look.
Earth and Tamaran will finally meet.
When the Gate is fully charged,
I am going to send this garbage
covered excuse for a planet
hurtling through space
to destroy a diamond.
[STARFIRE] Sebastian.
Destroying Earth and Tamaran
was your father's goal.
It was never yours.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.
When you murder someone and
you drink their life's blood
from their beating heart,
you really get to know them.
It turns out, my father's
deepest fear was that one day,
the people of Earth and the people
of Tamaran would join forces.
And he knew that if that
happened, they would be unbeatable.
I won't let anyone have power over me.
Never again.
[CALLIOPE] Icarus Gate
targeting computations complete.
Yeah.
You're thinking of destroying it,
aren't you? Hmm?
Or maybe
Maybe you're thinking of
sacrificing yourself to destroy me.
Either way it doesn't matter.
Any light you release in this
room will be instantly absorbed
by the Gate's power coil,
bringing it to full capacity.
It's waiting for your energy, Starfire.
It's hungry for it.
And you're the only person
on Earth who can feed it.
So how does this end?
I use my blue light. The Earth
goes into a wormhole and you die.
Gods don't die.
You're no god.
I am a god!
My whole life.
My whole life, all I ever
wanted was love and acceptance,
and all I got in return
was cruelty and pain.
It took me a long time to realize that
cruelty and pain are the only
true principles of existence.
And you either suffer them,
or you inflict them.
It's time for other people to suffer.
I'm done suffering.
Let's get started, shall we?
[ALARM BLARING]
Six. Armed. Riot gear.
We're gonna need some cover.
[GUARD] Firing positions.
[ALL GROANING]
Go.
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
- [TIGER ROARS]
- [GUARD SCREAMS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
I won't help you destroy my home.
Either one of them.
Yes, you will.

- [GROANS]
Bernard!
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[BERNARD] I might be
able to hack my way in.
[NIGHTWING] Anytime!
Almost there.
- [DOOR BEEPS]
- Bernard!
[GROANS]
[CALLIOPE] Power is at 17%.
[GROANS]
[PANTING]
The irony is irresistible, isn't it?
[GRUNTS]
The one whom the prophecy
states would save worlds
will now destroy them.
[STARFIRE SCREAMS]
[SHUSHES]
[CALLIOPE] Wormhole to Tamaran
will be charged in 320 seconds.
You see, destinies can be rewritten.
It just depends who holds the pen.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [CALLIOPE] Power is at 22%.
[GRUNTS]
[GROWLS]
[CALLIOPE] Power is at 27%.
[RAVEN] Kory!
Bernard, he's got Starfire
hooked up to some kind of machine.
- He's draining her!
- [RAVEN YELPS]
How do we shut it down?
You're gonna have to
get close but be careful.
The gravitational pull
can be very unpredictable.
Look for four black cables
just beneath the Gate.
I see them!
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
[CALLIOPE] Power is at 30%.
Those black cables, they're the
navigational guidance system.
If you pull them out, he won't
be able to target Tamaran.
[GRUNTS]
[BERNARD] First cable down, three to go.
Bernard, I can't shut it down.
Brother Blood has locked
down the entire mainframe.
- [CALLIOPE] Power is at 43%.
- [YELPS]
[SCREAMING]
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]
[GRUNTS]
For the record, that game
you made fucking sucks.
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
[CALLIOPE] Wormhole
initial ignition commencing.
[GROANS]
Gar, how are we doing
with that second cable?
[GAR STRAINING] I'm working on it!
[BERNARD] Two more cables to go, Gar.
[CALLIOPE] Power is at 70%.
[PANTING] Okay. I'm gonna
help you. Let me help you.
[GRUNTS]
[BUZZING]
- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]
[GROANING] Help!
Go help Beast Boy.
He's getting sucked in!
[STRAINING]
[STRAINING]
[GROANS]
[CALLIOPE] Tamaranean solar
system arrival imminent.
[BOTH STRAINING]
[CALLIOPE] Power is at 84%.
- No, no.
- [STRAINING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[SPITS]
- [GROANS]
- [BUZZING]
Planet Tamaran now in
range of Icarus Wormhole.
We don't have much time left!
Help me with these cables!
Okay! [STRAINS]
- [CALLIOPE] Power is at 95%.
- [BONE SNAPS]
[SCREAMS]
[CALLIOPE] Commencing primary ignition.
[GRUNTS]
Hey. Hey. [GASPS]
[SCREAMS]
[CALLIOPE] Wormhole activation ready.
Earth targeted to Tamaran.
Ready to execute on your command.
Did you really think you had
a chance? You can't beat me!
No. But he can.
[BOTH STRAINING]
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]
- [CALLIOPE] Targeting system failure.
[SCREAMS]
[ELECTRIC BUZZING]
[GRUNTS]
[YELLS]
[BROTHER BLOOD GROANS]
[PANTING]
[STARFIRE SHUDDERS] Rachel.
You're alive.
Damn straight.
[LAUGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Wait, was I dead?
I'll explain later.
[PANTING] Are you okay?
I don't think so.
It's over. The prophecies,
the story. Everything.
We won.
We can toss him into the Icarus Gate.
Blast him back to the
other side of the universe.
Conner, give me a hand!
No.
What if he comes back?
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
Stronger.
Then we'll be stronger too.
There's a flame lit inside of me.
I can't just put it out and restart it.
I'm sorry
[SOBS] But it's time.
There's always an end.
[SIGHS] I don't know how to do that.
I know.
[SIGHS] I can't.
Me neither. Let's just wing it.
[CHUCKLES]
[BROTHER BLOOD GRUNTS] No.
No.
This is my story.
You don't get to be the fucking heroes!
[GRUNTS]
Kory!
["DECK THE HALLS" PLAYING]
[KORY] Oh, how about this one?
Hey, buddy, want a snack?
Got one for me,
and one for you.
[CHUCKLES]
[KORY GASPS] Oh, it's so perfect.
Okay, so let me get this
straight. You've got Santa Claus.
His reindeer. Talking
snowmen. And Jesus?
Basically.
And Grinch and Scrooge.
That's a store, I think.
It's a very old story, and it
starts, like all good stories,
with a star in the East.
A star? I like it already.
Well, spoiler alert. It ends like
this, be kind to your fellow man.
And Tamaranean.
- And Kryptonians.
- And animals.
And half-demons.
- Okay, well, everyone just be kind.
- [CHUCKLES]
Speaking of everyone,
I'm convinced the whole world
is divided into two groups
Mm-hmm. Good and evil.
Yeah, not quite what I'm talking about.
Christmas morning people
and Christmas Eve people.
I am definitely Christmas Eve.
Don't ask him.
No, I need to know.
What's the difference?
Oh, Christmas morning people are
all about the presents, right?
The instant gratification.
But Christmas Eve is all about the hope,
the excitement, the anticipation,
because all the good things are
still in the future, yet to come.
- [KORY CHUCKLES] Oh.
- [DICK] I like that.
Yeah.
Here's to all the good things
in the future, yet to come.
[CHUCKLES]
- Cheers.
- [KORY] Cheers to that.
[ALL] Cheers.
[WIND HOWLING]
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
[SNIFFLES]
She saved us.
[SOBS]
She saved everything.
[SOBS] Dick,
come on.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
I thought I'd lost you.
[CHUCKLES] Me too.
[LAUGHS]
[BEAST BOY SNIFFLES]
Whoa. [CHUCKLES]
- Guys.
- [CHUCKLES]
Aw. [LAUGHS]
[STARFIRE CHUCKLES]
["HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING
AN ANGEL" PLAYING]
Welcome to the Top of the Mark.
Right this way, Mr. Grayson.
Heaven ♪
Wow.
- [DICK] After you.
- [KORY] Thank you.
I gotta say, this looks better
than bowling alley pizza.
That pizza was fantastic.
I don't know. We'll see.
Hey, before we get started, there's
something I gotta tell you guys.
- [KRYPTO WHINES]
- [SIGHS] I'm, uh leaving.
What are you talking about?
[GAR] There are some
things I still need to do.
- [RACHEL] In The Red?
- In The Red.
You're serious?
I got some answers,
but there were more questions raised.
I think they need me there, too.
How long will you be gone?
I don't know.
But I won't be too far.
If you guys ever need me, I'll be there.
[SNAPS FINGERS] Like that.
You know what? This is a good thing.
This is what's supposed to happen.
If we stayed in the same
place, we never would have met.
I'm so glad you said that, Dick.
'Cause I've been thinking
about the future, too.
Oh, God.
- What?
- [RACHEL CHUCKLES]
Well, just for a while
there, I was a normal kid.
[CHUCKLES] Have you ever been normal?
[CHUCKLES] Shut up.
Point is, I did something that
I never thought that I'd do.
I applied for college.
Oh, nice. Yes.
Where are you going?
[RACHEL] It's a little community college
just outside of Gotham called,
uh, Bludhaven University.
[DICK] Bludhaven?
[RACHEL] Sounds cool, right?
I just thought it was time
for me to spend some time
around regular kids, you know?
It's not it's not far.
You guys can all visit.
I'll fly.
Yeah, you fly.
I'll have to drive the RV.
- [RACHEL CHUCKLES]
- Take the Porsche, it's faster.
Hey, Rach, I'm gonna
see you all the time,
'cause I'm gonna be around there, too
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
[DICK] Where the hell are you going?
You said this was a good thing.
Yeah, it is. Just not
everyone all at once.
Here's the thing.
Robin is a responsibility.
And tied to Gotham.
But I got a life in Metropolis too.
[GRUNTS]
Nice sparring.
Guess the Boy Wonder
will be in both cities.
All right. Go ahead. You're next.
- [RACHEL CHUCKLES]
- Where the hell are you going?
Back to Metropolis.
Superman wants me to
spend some time with him.
He says he owes me one from last time.
[WIND RUSTLES]
[SUPERBOY] Whoa.
[CHUCKLES]
Maybe I'll finally get those
flying lessons after all.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.
- [RACHEL] Wow.
Guess you never know what
the future holds, huh?
I guess not.
- All right, who's hungry? Let's eat.
- [GAR] I am.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
[VEHICLES PASSING IN DISTANCE]
Scotch?
Lagavulin. It's what Lex drinks.
How does it taste?
About as good as it sounds.
You wanna head back to the table?
Gar's about to order every
single dessert on the menu.
I'm not the same guy.
[SMACKS LIPS] As what?
As the guy Clark wanted to meet.
None of us are the same.
Come on.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
You're afraid he won't approve?
I don't approve.
Look, you should ask
yourself one question.
The things you did,
the things you did where you
might have crossed the line,
did you do it for yourself?
Or to help other people?
What does it matter? I still did it.
Yeah, but the why is important.
Real bad guys out there?
They never ask that question.
So, keep asking it.
- [CHUCKLES]
- It's just weird, isn't it?
What?
- You and I alone together?
- Yeah.
A little.
I'm excited for them.
- They're not even leaving us Krypto.
- I
We'll survive. Somehow.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
So, can I buy you a coffee?
You can buy me another drink.
Gosh, this night really
is full of surprises.
[WIND RUSTLING]
Do you remember what Sebastian said?
About humans and
Tamaraneans getting together?
That if they ever did,
they'd be unstoppable.
Maybe we should get on that.
[LAUGHS]
Okay, let me buy you a drink first.
Just one step at a time, huh?
- Well, you're paying
- [LAUGHS]
- For once.
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
Thank you.
It's cause heaven must
be missing an angel ♪
Missing one angel, child ♪
Cause you're here with me right now ♪
Yeah! Whoo! [LAUGHS]
