(male narrator) Previously on "Green Lantern"..
Razer, we have to get to the interceptor.
If we do not leave now, we will all die.
[grunting]
swoosh
Green Lantern, Hal, and Sergeant Kilowog
these are the last of your emergency provisions.
A constant need for food seems to
be a drawback of organic life forms.
Tell me about it.
You don't have to eat grilled cheese sandwich in a can.
- What'd you get? - Glazed mungtor.
Glazed? Hey, I'll eat anything glazed.
Donuts, cookies, ham..
Help yourself.
Tempting, but I'll stick with this.
What is cheese, exactly?
It is curdled lacteal milk from
a female bovine species on Earth.
From now on, how about you eat
that in a closet or somethin'.
I have identified a nearby class G planet
in our current system that might
'be a source of food supplies.'
Nice work, Aya.
A Green Lantern cannot live on mungtor alone.

[instrumental music]
Shouldn't the kid be helpin' us out on this?
Evidently his race has a snazzy food storage system
that can go for months without refilling.
- Are you kiddin'? - Nope.
(Hal) 'Besides, who wants to take Razer on vacation?'
- 'Ha ha, not me.' - Hey, check this out.
- I had Aya rig me up an EBD. - EBD?
An Edible Biomass Detector. She named it.
It should make it easy to find something to eat, though.
When it comes to food, I follow my nose.
Sure, follow your nose to the oversized cockroaches.
And I'll use this time-saving gadget
to lead me to my all I can eat buffet.
You do that, Jordan.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
Back off!
thud
Hyah!
thud
[grunting]
[music continues]
beep beep beep
Wow, this place is paradise.
Look at this view..
Aah!
thud
Okay, what was that?
[grunting]
These things are supposed to be foolproof.
beep beep beep
This is more like it.
All I need is a fancy straw and a little paper umbrella.
[instrumental music]
[screaming]
beep beep beep
prrrbt
What is wrong with this place?
Daddy!
[laughing]
[music continues]
No!
boom
No!
Not too fast.
You fell hard.
How long have I been out?
A few hours. I brought you to my village
after you saved me from the Nadara.
I am Galia.
Name's Kilowog.
And I think you saved me.
Have some soup.
My home remedy.
slurp slurp
It's...delicious!
I used powdered Orem in it.
My secret ingredient.
Don't tell anyone.
slurp slurp slurp
Tastes like a dish I used to love back home.
Oh. Does your...wife cook?
For you and your family?
Not anymore.
I had a family once, but, uh..
...they were lost long ago.
I'm sorry.
If you're feeling better you can meet my family.
My tribe.
We are called the Zor.
[instrumental music]
Razer, it is good to see you venture from your quarters.
Have you recharged your ring?
What business is that of yours?
I am curious about the process
and how it differs from the Green Lantern's.
Leave me alone.
[instrumental music]
beep beep beep
Stupid beeping piece of junk.
[screaming]
[instrumental music]
pew
thud
And this is the village elder, Yarley.
You should be called "Kilowog the brave"
from what Galia told us.
Well, I think she maybe exaggerated
my abilities a little.
I did not! You saved me.
And this is our lead warrior, Leph.
Perhaps you are the one who can save us all
from the dreaded Nadara with your special powers.
[indistinct murmurs]
Thanks, but, you know, I've-I've got to
find my buddy and get back to my ship.
Please, Kilowog. We need your help.
This is about survival.
The Nadara come and steal our Orem.
We use it for everything.
Clothing, buildings, weapons, spice.
Our existence depends on it.
(female #1) 'Please, Kilowog the brave.'
Don't let the monsters hurt us.
Huh. I won't, little one.
Tell me more about these Nadara.
[grunts]
thud
What are you freaks?
'Ge-get away from me!'
[screaming]
[groans]
Wow, please tell me this isn't a dream
'cause it's awful dull for one of my dreams.
Hello. Are you the chef?
Measuring me for a bun or somethin'?
[instrumental music]
Aya, it's Hal. Do you read me?
'Razer? Kilowog? Anyone?'
[sighs] Incommunicado. Great.
Nobody's talkin' to me. Except you, Norm.
You look like a Norman. Can I call you Norman?
Guess you'll have to be my tour guide.
First things first.
Any good takeout places in this neighborhood?
[instrumental music]
(Razer) 'With blood and rage of crimson red'
we fill men's souls with darkest dread..
What are you doing here? I told you to leave me alone!
I was monitoring.
Your vital signs became abnormally high.
You-you don't understand how hard this is.
I've turned from Atrocitus' cult of hate.
But the ring stayed with me.
'Which means the rage in my heart remains.'
And so I must use the Red Lantern oath to recharge it.
I have observed how the ring affects your emotional state.
What is the rest of this oath?
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all that is your fate.
- Interesting. - Interesting?
It's vile and I'm forced to say it again and again.
- Razer, I did not intend-- - Get out!
I may have Green Lantern powers
but I can't do this alone.
You must all train and train hard
to defend this family!
Yes, sir, Kilowog of the braves, sir!
Have I not kept our people safe all this time?
Yes, Leph, you have.
But you do not have Kilowog's power.
The power to destroy the Nadara once and for all.
[scoffs] We'll see.
I should only have to show you these skills once.
[groans]
thud
[yelling]
Use this simple hand to hand pattern.
Engage, lock, throw!
[groaning]
Keep together. Watch your spacing.
Always stay in the wedge formation, always.
And protect the flanks.
[grunting]
Stop, stop!
Back to position now and try it again.
- They're learning. - Not fast enough.
These are very basic skills.
Argh. I don't even think I can turn them around.
No. You're an excellent teacher.
And you're my best student.
But it's not enough. So let's get it right this time!
I've seen these yellow crystals somewhere, Norm.
[instrumental music]
What are you doing? Get back!
Oh, huh, sorry, Norman.
Just touching that stuff gave me a serious
case of the heebie-jeebies.
You're miners.
Now I remember, the asteroid prison.
'This yellow crystal was there, too'
'and messes with the power rings.'
But this must be even more concentrated.
The effects are much worse.
And you know the crystals are bad for me, don't you?
You don't talk, but that doesn't mean you're not smart.
We have to find my friend Kilowog
and see if he's figured out what this stuff is, too.
[instrumental music]
[screaming]
'No! No!'
No!
No, no, no!
Kilowog! Are you okay?
- You were dreaming. - Yes.
slurp
Yes.
I know what we have to do.
Zor warriors, wake up!
It's time to act.
[instrumental music]
We can't just wait and defend.
We risk being overrun. Do you hear me?
We don't let the enemy dictate the rules of engagement.
We take the fight to them.
Kilowog is right. We must attack the Nadara.
You said the Nadara don't go out until sunrise.
So we march now and catch 'em at first light.
We wipe 'em out in one fell swoop!
Attack!
[indistinct shouting]
I was saving this for you, Kilowog the brave.
Thank you, Galia.
I'll wear it proudly as a member of the Zor.
Now, let's hunt us down some Nadara!
[crowd shouting]
[instrumental music]
Are you sure this is the way?
I haven't seen you ask for directions from anyone, Norm.
There they are. I should have never doubted you, Norm.
Hey, Kilowog! Over here!
My friend is a traitor! He's one of them now!
Zor warriors, kill 'em all!
Zor, attack!
[instrumental music]
Hey, hey, whoa, wait!
What's goin' on?
[grunting]
pew
grrr
[groaning]
Kilowog! It's me! Hal!
Traitor!
Listen! These yellow crystals are making you cra..
clang
smash
Kilowog, you've got to listen to me.
No. I've got to kill you!
[grunting]
Hey!
Put me down!
[instrumental music]
swish swish swish
You can't stand against Kilowog the brave!
Kilowog, you've got to hear me.
The crystals make you paranoid.
'It's like the prison asteroid'
'only the effects are much stronger.'
You're a liar and I don't believe you!
Fine, let's do it the hard way.
I didn't forget your training.
Engage, lock, throw!
[grunting]
My powers have returned.
Because you're away from the yellow crystals.
They affect our powers and our minds.
[yelling]
[grunting]
clang clang clang
rumble rumble rumble
[grunting]
Kilowog, I know the real you is in there.
Think, buddy. Think about what you're doing.
[instrumental music]
Kilowog, it's me.
It's Hal.
thud
You talk too much.
[grunting]
I knew it!
You're a traitor, Kilowog.
Zor warriors, keep at them.
Don't listen to Leph!
Galia's with them, too!
She's trying to protect him.
'We must kill them both!'
[indistinct shouting]
It's the Orem!
These yellow crystals are destroying our minds!
The Nadara are not your enemy. They're miners.
They dig up the Orem and feed off it.
It's harmless for them, but they know it's bad for us.
They've been trying to keep it away from you.
They...don't want to hurt us?
- No. - You figured all this out?
By yourself?
Well, my buddy Norm here helped.
[laughing]
The Nadara are very efficient creatures.
Yeah, they don't talk much, but they do work hard.
You can cook many things with these sugar vines.
It figures that on this planet
everything that looks like it will hurt is actually delicious.
I made this to remember you.
I'll always remember you, Tila.
I will miss you, Kilowog the brave.
(Galia) 'As will I.'
I'm trusting you to keep your people safe.
They're our people.
You are one of us, Kilowog.
Will you come back to check on our progress?
No. But I'll come to see you.
[instrumental music]
Have you finished your recharging ritual?
No.
I have something that might help.
I ran a detailed analysis of the rhythm and meter
of your Red Lantern oath.
And I've created an alternative that should also be effective.
"The power of the crimson red
"can lead your soul away from dread.
'"And heal the deepest wounds of hate.'
Let no one else decide your fate."
I detect no change in your metabolic rate.
- Have you recharged? - Yes.
Thank you, Aya.
Your concern is...appreciated.
I wish it were that easy.
'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!
