(male narrator) Previously on "Green Lantern"..
(Atrocitus) 'You belong to the Red Lantern corps.
How's that phony ring holdin' up?
Without a Red Lantern battery, eventually its charge will die.
Sooner the better.
swoosh
Kilowog, get ready.
Should be in view right...now.
There it is.
The Red Lantern mother ship.
Aya, make sure we have max resolution and magnification.
Full spectrum scans.
I wanna know everything about this rock.
[dramatic music]
[rumbling]
Yep, waste dump at 06:00 mean sola time. Like clockwork.
[clapping slowly]
Congratulations.
After weeks of stalking Shard, you've unlocked the secret
of when they dump their garbage.
Can total victory be far behind?
I'm not hearing any better ideas
comin' out of your talk hole, Red.
Hold on, we're repairing the ship so we can use
the ultra-warp and bring reinforcements from Oa.
While we're waiting, I'm gathering as much intel
as I can, without getting us killed
'or letting the Red Lanterns know'
'we didn't die when they blew up that planet.'
Let me tell you what Atrocitus would do.
He'd come after you relentlessly.
He'd keep coming until you were dead.
Even if it meant his own death.
I was a fool to join you.
Soon I'll be as useless as you two.
You have no chance of victory if you aren't willing
to die for your cause.
[dramatic music]
[beeping]
What are you doing?
- None of your business.
Negative.
You must have permission to leave the interceptor.
Explain yourself.
I'm not a crew member. I just quit.
Technically, you are a prisoner. Now please return to the ship.
I do not want your actions to be misunderstood by the others.
[laughing] Misunderstood?
I know you are not evil.
Then you don't know me at all.
[music continues]
You have forced me to alert Green Lanterns, Hal and Kilowog.
They will help me bring you back.
No, you'll all be busy, saving the ship.
boom
I've got a quadruple failure in the ultra-warp reactor.
Is that even possible?
Life support, offline. Float controls, offline.
Internal grav, offline.
Does anything on this bucket work?
We're not floating, so we have internal gravity.
I'm reading the boards right, Jordan. And where's Aya?
I am here. Scanning systems.
Contrary to the readouts
all functions are nominal to profile.
Maybe she's right.
Cycle the rocker switches for a hard reboot.
So this was a.. What?
A diversion set by Razer.
We fell for the oldest trick in the book.
Where's our little saboteur now?
I'd like to congratulate him on his success.
He left the ship. I do not know where he went.
(Hal) 'Oh, I know exactly where he went.'
'Shard.'
[dramatic music]
Intruder! Seize him!
Have you forgotten me so soon?
Legion leader Razer?
But you're dead!
We went to your memorial service.
You died a hero.
Not yet.
But soon.
Lord Atrocitus, Razer is back.
He's at battery square. He's about to recharge his ring.
Zilius, prepare a proper welcome for our Razer.
[beeping]
With blood and rage of crimson red
we fill men's souls with darkest dread.
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all. That is your fate.
whoosh
Ah, a lost son has returned to me.
I have.
I was captured by the Green Lanterns.
But it was only a matter of time before I gained their trust.
Then I blew up their ship.
You did well, Razer.
I could only think of being here.
By your side.
To do this!
[gasps]
[grunting]
Did you really think
I'd allow you to recharge your power ring
without finding out your true intentions?
What you received was a mere light show.
Now tell me.
What have you really been doing all this time?
whoosh
See? I told you he was a lost cause.
And I say good riddance. Who knows?
Maybe he was planning this the whole time!
If that were true, why didn't he just kill us
when he had the chance?
Instead, he took the time to create
a very convincing diversion.
Agreed. The program is nearly undetectable.
My subsystems are studying how it works even now.
My bet is he went to settle his score with Atrocitus.
Then he should have made funeral arrangements.
'Cause that's a one-way ticket.
And he knows it.
Which is why we have to stop him.
[dramatic music]
Of all your stupid ideas, Jordan
this one wins the prize!
If you trust no one, Razer
you're never disappointed.
beep
Master, I can't believe you're bringing out
your personal battery to power his interrogation.
He doesn't deserve this.
(Atrocitus) 'Elements of your story are true.'
You have been with the Green Lanterns.
And by the end of our talk
you'll tell me everything you know about them.
Now, let's begin.
This could go quick or slow
but I really hope you choose slow.
[electricity crackling]
[screaming]
clank
[shots fired]
They're shooting at the asteroids, Jordan.
[shots fired]
boom
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
No. No more. I'll talk.
See? A matter of time. Speak up.
[growls]
Aah!
I'm going to miss you, Razer.
Schedule his execution.
We'll make an example of this one.
clank
Aya, do you remember the plan? You won't forget anything?
I am less likely to forget than you, Green Lantern Hal.
- How's she gonna get in? - With ease.
I forgot she could do that.
Patrol.
Come on.
[grunting]
[instrumental music]
(Cleric Loran) It is by hate alone I set my will in motion.
'It is through the breath of rage'
'that vengeance is made manifest..'
'...and for wrath only do I live and die.'
All hail.. Who's there?
'I warn you, I can defend myself.'
You hide. I'll stall.
What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
Official business. Sorry, sir.
Do I look like a "Sir" to you?
I'm Cleric Loran.
Lucky for you, soldiers are always welcome
in the house of our Lord Atrocitus.
[dramatic music]
Cleric Loran, it's been a long time
'since I've been here.'
I'd love to hear the story behind
these beautiful stained-glass windows.
Of course, my angry child.
'The city represents the capital of Ysmault'
'before the Guardians arrived'
'but it could be any city'
on a thousand worlds in our now-ravaged galaxy.
And then the Guardians descended upon us.
'They said they would bring peace and order'
'but as the Book of Rage tells us'
'lies tumbled from their mouths.'
'They said, "Kneel before us'
and you will want for nothing."
But we would not worship them.
And their wrath was deep and terrible.
'The blue devils unleashed their automaton manhunters'
'and the guardians' soulless avengers'
'snuffed out every life.'
'Stealing every breath and stilling every heart.'
'It was his holy hate'
'that bore the first fruit of a Red Lantern.'
'He, our Lord Atrocitus of the five inversions.'
So, by Red Lantern's light
we shall bring vengeance to those who laid us low.
[doors opens]
Just what do you think you're doing?
Does this look like your mess hall to slam my door like that?
Have you no respect?
Pardon, cleric. We're searching for two missing gunners.
I'll sweep here, men. You go down the street.
[grunting]
Hold your fire.
- Do you trust me? - Uh..
pow
Remember this lesson well
This is what happens to those who stray
from my righteous path.
Zilius, proceed.
This might sting a bit.
[clattering]
Who dares?
I just caught this stinking Green Lantern in your shrine.
thud
Oh, boy.
So, it seems Razer wasn't the only one
to survive the explosion of Colony 12.
'You Green Lanterns are harder to kill than I thought.'
Uh, master, permission to cut off Razer's head?
- What's your name, soldier? - Uh, Wrath, My Lord.
You can execute the one you caught
at the same time Razer meets his doom.
Let's get started.
Death to all enemies of Atrocitus.
Aya, now!
Aah!
(automated message) 'Warning, power controls overloading.'
Retreat to interior safe zone immediately.
Hyah!
You were foolish to come! I made my intentions clear!
Do you even have a plan to get out of here?
Don't need one. And you're coming with us.
They've infected our reactor with a virus.
Aah!
It's a trick, you buffoon.
[dramatic music]
You!
[grunting]
thud
Uh!
With blood and rage of crimson red
we fill men's souls with darkest dread.
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all. That is your fate!
[screaming]
[music continues]
[grunting]
Aah!
[shots fired]
I know you'd willingly die today
but do you have the strength to live for a cause?
'Because we sure could use you right now.'
[gunfire]
Aya, we are go. Table for three.
[shots fired]
Finish them. I don't want prisoners.
I have shut down Shard's automated defenses
'to allow the interceptor to pass through.'
Estimating arrival at docking bay 22
in eight minutes and 40 seconds.
Good. Meet us there.
My own arrival may be delayed.
I am currently downloading a large file.
(Hal) 'Don't be late for dinner, baby. Over and out.'
[shots fired]
boom
thud
Okay, I've had about enough of you poozers!
[gunfire]
[grunting]
boom
[grunting]
thud
wham
growl
Everything's spinnin'.
Aya, ETA 30 seconds. Where are you?
Your plan didn't work, guardian lapdog.
'If you'd like to reclaim your toy'
meet me at battery square.
[groans]
- It's a trap. - Of course, it is.
But we don't leave anyone behind.
I'll get the comp..
Aya, I'll get her.
Not alone, you won't.
You've got to get the sergeant to safety
and prep the ship for takeoff.
We won't get away from a dozen Red Lanterns
with only ring power. We need that ship.
Too risky. We board the ship now, and then I'll find Aya.
By then it will be too late!
You're always going on about having the courage
not to fight, so do you have the courage to leave this to me?
I'm trusting you to bring back a member of my crew, Razer.
Don't make me regret it.
[groaning]
[dramatic music]
- Leave her alone. - You want her?
Anything for you.
boom
Ah!
I hoped you would choose wisely.
I hoped you'd be an ambassador for my legacy.
A legacy of murder and hate.
thud
pow
[grunting]
thud
[grunting]
pew pew pew
whoosh
zoop zoop zoop
zoop zoop
I had such high ambitions when I created you.
Aah!
You didn't create me, I did. If only I had listened to--
If only you had listened to your sad little farm girl?
Unh!
zap
Do you think what she said to you
what you felt for her, mattered in the least?
It was I who conquered your world.
Who set your warlords against each other
to create destruction and chaos and hate!
thud
It was I who saw your potential and recruited you.
'And when I saw you needed only a nudge'
to become a truly hateful creature
then I sealed your fate.
It was I who slaughtered your precious Elana.
Aah!
thud thud thud
[groaning]
Razer, we have to get to the Interceptor.
I have vital information for Hal Jordan
but my mobility has been impeded. Will you aid me?
No. Do the best you can.
You die now.
pew pew pew
If we do not leave now, we will all die.
[groans]
[dramatic music]
whoosh
[beeping]
Aya, are you all right?
I am fine. Although my repairs shall take some time.
That is inconsequential.
Your actions put us all in danger.
Atrocitus knows we're alive now, and he'll be looking for us.
Our job just got infinitely harder, thanks to you.
Attention, I have unlocked the encryption
on the files I stole from the Red Lantern mainframe.
(Jordan) 'Warships, hundreds of them.'
Better keep your ring charged, Red.
Looks like we all should.
