1
00:00:07,784 --> 00:00:11,027
Yeah, I know it's almost curfew, Mom,
but I'm practically home.

2
00:00:11,188 --> 00:00:13,794
I'm taking a shortcut
across the Kurd parking lot now.

3
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:55,203
What is all this?

4
00:00:55,365 --> 00:01:00,508
<i>Recall, Jaime Reyes,
you allowed Aqualad to take us prisoner.</i>

5
00:01:00,704 --> 00:01:04,242
Uh, right, right. Better armor up.

6
00:01:04,407 --> 00:01:08,048
<i>Negative. Containment pod
has neutralized all combat systems.</i>

7
00:01:15,018 --> 00:01:16,998
<i>Providing translation.</i>

8
00:01:17,154 --> 00:01:20,260
The Scarab's memory files are corrupted.

9
00:01:20,423 --> 00:01:24,394
Only recoverable data
is from the last eight months.

10
00:01:24,561 --> 00:01:27,974
That is, since it fused
with this host body.

11
00:01:28,131 --> 00:01:31,544
In fact, I was just reviewing
the point of inser...

12
00:01:31,701 --> 00:01:33,476
Spare me the details.

13
00:01:33,637 --> 00:01:36,447
If the Scarab is off-made,
perform a reboot.

14
00:01:36,606 --> 00:01:39,883
<i>I'd rather assess the cause of the crash,
Ambassador...</i>

15
00:01:40,043 --> 00:01:42,751
to make certain
it cannot happen again.

16
00:01:42,913 --> 00:01:45,826
Now, scientist, admit it.

17
00:01:45,982 --> 00:01:50,055
You just enjoy playing with the meat.

18
00:01:51,555 --> 00:01:54,900
Well, there's that too.

19
00:01:59,564 --> 00:02:03,884
<b> Season 2: Invasion
Episode 10: "Before the Dawn"</b>

20
00:02:03,924 --> 00:02:06,924
Subripped by Reef
www.addic7ed.com

21
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:09,507
Your ship
is most impressive, Ambassador.

22
00:02:09,673 --> 00:02:10,873
As are your people.

23
00:02:10,874 --> 00:02:13,184
We call ourselves the Reach.

24
00:02:13,343 --> 00:02:18,622
And these are our labs, most dedicated
to researching the human Meta-Gene.

25
00:02:18,782 --> 00:02:20,921
- Meta-Gene?
- A genetic marker...

26
00:02:21,084 --> 00:02:23,587
indicating the potential
of an individual human...

27
00:02:23,753 --> 00:02:28,668
to survive catastrophic physical trauma
by adapting new abilities.

28
00:02:28,825 --> 00:02:30,361
In other words, Ambassador...

29
00:02:30,527 --> 00:02:34,634
the Meta-Gene allows certain humans
to develop super-human powers.

30
00:02:37,701 --> 00:02:42,673
Kaldur'ahm, this is the scientist
in charge of all Meta-Gene research.

31
00:02:42,839 --> 00:02:47,788
I understand you are responsible
for providing several of our test subjects.

32
00:02:47,944 --> 00:02:49,150
Gratitude.

33
00:02:51,915 --> 00:02:54,156
I assume it would interest you to know...

34
00:02:54,317 --> 00:02:57,526
that in this lab, we are attempting
to isolate the Meta-Gene...

35
00:02:57,687 --> 00:03:02,659
by stimulating potentially dormant
powers in average humans.

36
00:03:02,826 --> 00:03:04,897
But La'gaan already has powers.

37
00:03:05,061 --> 00:03:06,261
He is Atlantean.

38
00:03:06,463 --> 00:03:08,374
Hardly an average human.

39
00:03:08,565 --> 00:03:12,843
Ah, but his powers are based
on training in sorcery.

40
00:03:13,003 --> 00:03:17,543
Beyond that, he is an average Atlantean,
is he not?

41
00:03:18,074 --> 00:03:24,116
Now, in this lab, we study humans
with active Meta-Genes.

42
00:03:24,281 --> 00:03:28,320
And how they respond
to various levels of stress.

43
00:03:31,121 --> 00:03:36,298
The goal is to learn if their abilities
can be extracted or duplicated.

44
00:03:36,593 --> 00:03:40,302
I see.
You seek to weaponize the Meta-Gene.

45
00:03:40,664 --> 00:03:44,373
You never mentioned he was clever.

46
00:03:53,743 --> 00:03:57,520
A pleasure meeting you, Kaldur'ahm.

47
00:03:58,415 --> 00:03:59,917
Blue Beetle is unaccounted for.

48
00:04:00,083 --> 00:04:02,563
I assume he is inside this third lab.

49
00:04:02,852 --> 00:04:07,323
That particular laboratory does not concern
you or your masters, the Light.

50
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:09,902
And frankly, neither does Blue Beetle.

51
00:04:10,060 --> 00:04:13,906
He may be human,
but he is of the Reach.

52
00:04:14,064 --> 00:04:15,264
As you say.

53
00:04:15,432 --> 00:04:18,276
- The new test subjects?
- Soon to be on their way.

54
00:04:18,435 --> 00:04:20,574
My best operative
oversees the shipment.

55
00:04:20,737 --> 00:04:21,937
Gratitude.

56
00:04:33,850 --> 00:04:35,727
What are they gonna do with us?

57
00:04:35,885 --> 00:04:37,865
- I wanna go home.
- Let us go!

58
00:04:41,091 --> 00:04:43,196
Bring out the pods. Now!

59
00:04:48,798 --> 00:04:50,903
Get those pods open.
We're on a schedule.

60
00:04:51,101 --> 00:04:54,048
And Kaldur'ahm does not tolerate delay.

61
00:05:07,917 --> 00:05:09,191
- Hey!
- What are you…?

62
00:05:09,352 --> 00:05:10,552
Shh. We're here to help.

63
00:05:10,653 --> 00:05:12,223
Why should we trust…?

64
00:05:15,558 --> 00:05:16,798
Okay. Never mind.

65
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,633
One per pod. Move.

66
00:05:22,699 --> 00:05:23,973
Hey!

67
00:05:24,334 --> 00:05:26,314
Stop it!

68
00:05:28,671 --> 00:05:30,776
Into your pod.

69
00:05:35,278 --> 00:05:37,815
Okay, go. Boat them and float them.

70
00:05:44,721 --> 00:05:47,600
Good. They're leading us
to Lagoon Boy and the others.

71
00:05:47,757 --> 00:05:48,957
How can you be sure?

72
00:05:49,426 --> 00:05:50,626
Wishful thinking.

73
00:05:50,693 --> 00:05:53,640
And the abductee shipment
at the docks?

74
00:05:53,797 --> 00:05:55,208
How did you know about that?

75
00:05:55,365 --> 00:05:59,211
Aquaman came across the intel
while searching for La'gaan.

76
00:06:04,174 --> 00:06:05,374
Yeah.

77
00:06:09,345 --> 00:06:12,189
Whoa, Tye, what's up with this fog?

78
00:06:21,958 --> 00:06:23,494
<i>Translating.</i>

79
00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:26,698
This human beetle is a disappointment.

80
00:06:26,863 --> 00:06:29,935
How can he be the Reach's
advanced operative on Earth...

81
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:32,670
if his Scarab refuses
to function on-mode?

82
00:06:32,836 --> 00:06:34,076
Then reboot.

83
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:37,281
Yes, that may be necessary.

84
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,011
Of course, we'd require a new host.

85
00:06:40,343 --> 00:06:42,914
Finding another will not be difficult.

86
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:47,357
Though removing the Scarab for mode-repair
will kill this Jaime Reyes...

87
00:06:47,517 --> 00:06:51,294
Meat is plentiful here.

88
00:07:07,421 --> 00:07:10,095
So this is the Light's Partner.

89
00:07:10,257 --> 00:07:13,204
That ship shares
the same alien design sensibility...

90
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,705
…as the bombs that destroyed
Malina Island and Mount Justice.

91
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:18,976
Kind of reminds me of Blue's armor.

92
00:07:22,202 --> 00:07:24,307
Miss M, you're up.

93
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:41,139
<i>Alpha Squad,
I'm heading into the alien ship.</i>

94
00:07:41,221 --> 00:07:42,421
<i>Are you aboard?</i>

95
00:07:45,025 --> 00:07:48,768
<i>Affirmative.
We're in some kind of docking bay.</i>

96
00:07:48,929 --> 00:07:52,968
<i>We have a visual on the new aliens,
a.k.a. the Krolotean's competitor...</i>

97
00:07:53,133 --> 00:07:55,306
<i>a.k.a. the Light's Partner.</i>

98
00:07:55,469 --> 00:07:57,142
<i>And we've got other company.</i>

99
00:07:57,871 --> 00:08:00,818
<i>It's Aqualad. If he makes us,
we're over.</i>

100
00:08:01,074 --> 00:08:03,281
<i>Stay whelmed.
He won't be looking for you.</i>

101
00:08:03,443 --> 00:08:05,650
<i>Just don't attract attention.</i>

102
00:08:10,317 --> 00:08:13,696
<i>I've found Gar and Bart.
They're unconscious but alive.</i>

103
00:08:13,854 --> 00:08:15,492
<i>No sign of Jaime or La'gaan.</i>

104
00:08:15,756 --> 00:08:18,669
<i>We've got eyes on Lagoon Boy.
And Shimmer?</i>

105
00:08:19,426 --> 00:08:21,770
<i>Plus four civilians
and all the teens we came with.</i>

106
00:08:30,771 --> 00:08:33,945
<i>We're unsupervised now,
but Blue's still unaccounted for...</i>

107
00:08:34,107 --> 00:08:35,950
<i>and escape could trigger response.</i>

108
00:08:36,109 --> 00:08:38,783
<i>- Do we wait?
Negative. Make your move.</i>

109
00:08:38,945 --> 00:08:40,447
<i>Before you need rescuing too.</i>

110
00:08:40,614 --> 00:08:43,686
<i>You too, Miss M. Get our boys.</i>

111
00:08:50,957 --> 00:08:52,157
Garfield?

112
00:08:52,492 --> 00:08:54,836
<i>Knew you'd come for me.</i>

113
00:08:55,562 --> 00:08:56,802
<i>Are you shorter?</i>

114
00:08:56,963 --> 00:09:00,433
What? Oh, the pressure
of the water outside the ship compacted…

115
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,441
<i>Thanks for the rescue. I'll find Blue.</i>

116
00:09:02,636 --> 00:09:04,309
Impulse!

117
00:09:07,074 --> 00:09:08,274
<i>Which way?</i>

118
00:09:09,476 --> 00:09:10,676
<i>This way.</i>

119
00:09:13,246 --> 00:09:15,021
Hold your position, trooper.

120
00:09:29,596 --> 00:09:30,796
<i>Docking bay, secured.</i>

121
00:09:30,797 --> 00:09:32,208
<i>Nice timing, handsome.</i>

122
00:09:37,237 --> 00:09:38,511
Docking now.

123
00:09:40,607 --> 00:09:42,780
All right, people, let's move!

124
00:09:56,123 --> 00:09:57,796
You!

125
00:09:59,726 --> 00:10:01,103
Murderer!

126
00:10:14,307 --> 00:10:16,981
<i>M'gann, where are you guys? M'gann?</i>

127
00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:19,181
The link's down. I'm going in.

128
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:24,451
Apologies, meat.

129
00:10:24,618 --> 00:10:28,156
But no one goes anywhere.

130
00:10:38,098 --> 00:10:41,011
Listen, uh, Black Beetle.

131
00:10:41,168 --> 00:10:42,613
You're totally outnumbered.

132
00:10:42,769 --> 00:10:45,511
Open those doors now
and we'll go easy on you.

133
00:10:45,939 --> 00:10:50,285
You will go easy on me?

134
00:10:55,615 --> 00:10:58,391
Oh, that is not a good sign.

135
00:12:13,774 --> 00:12:15,117
No.

136
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:16,983
M'gann? M'gann?

137
00:12:19,747 --> 00:12:21,488
Kaldur!

138
00:12:25,553 --> 00:12:27,999
<i>M'gann, what have you done?</i>

139
00:12:28,255 --> 00:12:32,260
<i>I thought he had killed you,
that he deserved...</i>

140
00:12:36,564 --> 00:12:38,805
I'll take mine. You take yours.

141
00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:41,469
And count yourself lucky, boy.

142
00:12:44,872 --> 00:12:46,351
M'gann, snap out of it.

143
00:12:46,507 --> 00:12:48,544
You did good. You took out Aqualad.

144
00:12:48,709 --> 00:12:50,848
But the others still need our help.

145
00:13:28,816 --> 00:13:30,318
Look out!

146
00:14:00,214 --> 00:14:02,592
On your feet, slave.

147
00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:05,856
<i>That's how it was. I mean, how it will be.</i>

148
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:07,761
<i>Somehow the Reach
gets you on-mode...</i>

149
00:14:07,922 --> 00:14:11,335
<i>and Blue Beetle becomes the biggest,
baddest big bad in history.</i>

150
00:14:11,492 --> 00:14:14,166
Don't make me tell you again.

151
00:14:14,328 --> 00:14:18,333
Ugh. No. I wouldn't.

152
00:14:18,499 --> 00:14:19,699
I'd never.

153
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:21,178
Except you do.

154
00:14:21,335 --> 00:14:25,681
And that's the real reason, well,
the main reason, I came back to the past.

155
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,911
To stop you
from betraying the human race...

156
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:30,783
and bringing on
the Reach apocalypse.

157
00:14:35,516 --> 00:14:37,516
<i>Can't you at least get the link back up?</i>

158
00:14:37,551 --> 00:14:38,962
<i>Oh, thanks.</i>

159
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,691
Now, come on.
We're sealed out of the docking bay.

160
00:14:42,223 --> 00:14:44,260
<i>- What's going on in there?
Don't know.</i>

161
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:45,904
<i>I'm cut off aboard the Bio-Ship.</i>

162
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:47,664
<i>We're fighting Black Beetle
and Shimmer.</i>

163
00:14:47,828 --> 00:14:51,571
<i>Lagoon Boy, Robin, and Bumblebee
are already down, and… Conner, look out!</i>

164
00:14:51,866 --> 00:14:54,608
<i>Superboy's down.
It's just Batgirl and me now.</i>

165
00:14:54,902 --> 00:14:56,382
<i>You've got to get in there!</i>

166
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:58,044
<i>What? How?</i>

167
00:14:58,205 --> 00:15:00,651
<i>What do you mean, how? Density-shift.</i>

168
00:15:00,808 --> 00:15:03,084
<i>Right. I can do that.</i>

169
00:15:03,244 --> 00:15:05,451
<i>I can still do that.</i>

170
00:15:13,654 --> 00:15:14,997
What did you do to her?

171
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,360
Shifted the density of the door.

172
00:15:17,525 --> 00:15:20,062
Wasn't quite prepared for that, was she?

173
00:15:20,227 --> 00:15:21,763
But don't be jealous.

174
00:15:21,929 --> 00:15:24,773
I can put you halfway
through the door too.

175
00:15:24,932 --> 00:15:26,434
Halfway...

176
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,443
The hard way.

177
00:15:59,967 --> 00:16:04,882
Little brother, one way or another,
I'm putting you back on-mode.

178
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:09,647
You are of the Reach
and cannot escape it.

179
00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:11,221
I have to.

180
00:16:11,378 --> 00:16:14,484
<i>Jaime Reyes, you do not function
at full capacity.</i>

181
00:16:14,648 --> 00:16:19,893
<i>grant me total control
of armor and all weaponry.</i>

182
00:16:20,054 --> 00:16:21,761
Do it.

183
00:16:29,763 --> 00:16:31,868
Hold up. Blue's keeping Black busy.

184
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:34,979
Impulse, Beast Boy, and I
will drag everyone else into the hold.

185
00:16:35,135 --> 00:16:38,309
Once in, you need to be at the helm,
ready to make a fast exit.

186
00:16:38,472 --> 00:16:40,850
Right. Execute.

187
00:17:00,761 --> 00:17:04,174
No. Can't let you win.

188
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:46,376
Everyone's aboard except Blue.

189
00:17:46,540 --> 00:17:47,746
Going back in for him.

190
00:17:51,011 --> 00:17:52,217
Nightwing, seal the hatch.

191
00:17:52,379 --> 00:17:54,739
- Docking bay is flooding our hold.
Acknowledged.

192
00:17:54,815 --> 00:17:56,954
- But Blue!
- We can't help him if we drown...

193
00:17:57,117 --> 00:17:59,825
or are crushed
by the pressure at this depth.

194
00:19:09,957 --> 00:19:11,163
It's me! It's me!

195
00:19:11,825 --> 00:19:13,065
Course it is.

196
00:19:13,227 --> 00:19:15,730
Mission accomplished, everyone.
Well done.

197
00:19:16,096 --> 00:19:18,440
Care to take the controls, Miss M?

198
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:21,136
Think she's still basking
in the glow of victory.

199
00:19:21,301 --> 00:19:23,747
She totally nailed Aqualad.
You should have seen it.

200
00:19:23,904 --> 00:19:26,180
Well, actually, it didn't look like much.

201
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:29,583
But I'm sure it was very cool
inside their heads.

202
00:19:35,682 --> 00:19:37,383
<i>By now they'll have moved
their ship.</i>

203
00:19:37,409 --> 00:19:39,665
<i>There's still the Beetle
connection to figure out.</i>

204
00:19:39,686 --> 00:19:41,666
<i>But you can tell the world they're here.</i>

205
00:19:41,822 --> 00:19:44,166
<i>Their secret invasion
is no secret anymore.</i>

206
00:19:44,324 --> 00:19:46,531
That would be an understatement.

207
00:19:50,864 --> 00:19:54,979
<i>Repeating today's top
a small group of extra-terrestrials...</i>

208
00:19:55,002 --> 00:19:57,812
<i>the Reach, have arrived
at United Nations Headquarters...</i>

209
00:19:57,971 --> 00:19:59,171
<i>in New York City.</i>

210
00:19:59,206 --> 00:20:04,451
<i>For more on this, we go live
to GBS' own G. Gordon Godfrey at the U.N.</i>

211
00:20:04,778 --> 00:20:10,194
<i>Thanks, Cat. And, yes, folks,
it seems Earth's finally met some aliens...</i>

212
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:13,422
<i>who know how to get it right.</i>

213
00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:16,466
<i>The Reach comes to your world
as friends.</i>

214
00:20:16,623 --> 00:20:20,264
<i>We come with open arms,
extending our hands...</i>

215
00:20:20,427 --> 00:20:23,601
<i>our reach, if you will, to help.</i>

216
00:20:25,466 --> 00:20:28,504
<i>Well, thumbs up to the Reach.</i>

217
00:20:28,669 --> 00:20:30,842
<i>Oh, I know what you're thinking.</i>

218
00:20:31,004 --> 00:20:35,043
<i>Old G. Gordon's gone soft
on the spacemen.</i>

219
00:20:35,209 --> 00:20:40,784
<i>But don't you see? This is exactly
how aliens should come to Earth.</i>

220
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:43,019
<i>Knocking on our front door...</i>

221
00:20:43,183 --> 00:20:48,656
<i>not sneaking in the back,
like some Leaguers we know.</i>

222
00:20:50,491 --> 00:20:53,938
<i>So before we warn the public,
they go public.</i>

223
00:20:54,294 --> 00:20:55,494
It could be worse.

224
00:20:55,629 --> 00:20:58,337
At least we know exactly where they are.

225
00:20:58,699 --> 00:20:59,899
<i>That's right.</i>

226
00:21:00,167 --> 00:21:02,738
<i>We know what we're up against.</i>

227
00:21:14,265 --> 00:21:17,265
