Titans (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Trigon - full transcript

[theme music playing]

[Rachel] Previously on Titans...

It's you.

- I'm not sure...
- You're the boy from the circus.

Your parents... I
watched them fall.

Can you help me?

Trigon. This being
was summoned to Earth

- to conceive a daughter.
- Rachel.

She is the doorway
that he can walk through.

Earth will be the first planet

that he will cover
in his darkness.



We need a doctor in here!

We need to find Jason Todd.

Rachel needs our help.

[Rachel] He's dying.

Your father, he could save Gar.

Bring him to me. Bring him home.

[screams]

[Rachel grunts]

[Trigon] My child.

I'm finally home.

[Donna] What the
fuck is going on?

- It's shimmering.
- Dick, wait!

Is it time to eat the world?

[Trigon] Not until
her heart breaks.



Dick, please... talk to me.

[Trigon] This was not my doing.

I offered your friend a path.

Ultimately, he
chose his own way.

Fuck you, Bruce. You win.

[Trigon] To embrace his darkness

rather than deny its existence.

I've released your friend
from a terrible burden.

It feels so good to be home.

You'll see.

They'll all see.

[whispers] No.

Let him go.

[distorted] Let him go.

[gasping]

[Trigon] I'm afraid
you're grounded.

No more magic.

I won't let you do this.

Let me?

You did this.

You brought me here, Rachel.

Your purpose was to
bring me into your world.

The whole journey you've
taken with your friends,

it's all been to make
this moment happen.

[Angela] I couldn't
be more proud.

You've given this world a gift.

[Rachel] You never loved me.

You used me.

Oh, sweet girl,

this is so much more
important than love.

Just let him go.

[Trigon] Look
around you, daughter.

All there is here is loss,
betrayal, and decay.

Everyone you love will leave you

by their own hand or in ashes.

Nothing lasts.

The only thing that awaits
you is disappointment.

You will lose everyone.

It's heartbreaking, isn't it?

Let your heart break.

It's inevitable.

And then you'll
be free to join me.

Our future will be glorious.

Uh... hard pass.

Rach, we gotta go.

- Gar.
- [Gar] Run!

She wants to do it the hard way.

You know what to do.

[Angela] I should've
prepared her better.

We've waited too
long to fail now.

We will not fail.

Patience, my dear.

One way or another,
her heart will break.

And then this
world will be mine.

[theme music playing]

- [motorcycle engine revving]
- [rock music playing]

[Jason] Whoo!

[rock music continues]

[yelling]

That was sick.

[sighs]

Epic.

[Hank] Don't tell me.

You're Jason Todd.

Yeah, and who the hell are you?

I'm Dawn Granger.
This is Hank Hall.

Rachel sent us to find you.

Why me?

Our hunch is she needs

the guy you work
for and not you.

I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.

Relax, killer. I'm Dove.

This is Hawk.

- We're friends of Dick Grayson.
- What kind of friends?

The kind that know about
the big, scary cave downstairs.

[chuckles]

- Does that ring a bell?
- [laughs]

You want me to
make bird sounds, too?

- Titans.
- Just tell us

where your dad is at, kid.

[sighs] Bruce is
halfway across the world

with the rest of
the Justice League.

Alfred, too. [scoffs]

Got this place all to myself!

Clearly.

Hey, look. Whatever
you need Bruce for,

if Dick needs
help, I'm your guy.

I mean, one Robin
saving another? [chuckles]

We'll never let him
hear the end of it.

You're the new Robin?

Present and accounted for, babe.

- [laughing]
- "Babe"?

What did he just say?

And that's a pass on the help

from heroes-on-
training-wheels department.

First off, bro, I'd put you on
your ass in three seconds.

- [chuckles]
- Okay, you little shit.

And secondly, if Dick's really
strapped, I wanna help him.

Kinda freaked out on him
last time and I owe him.

So where is he?

- We don't know.
- Okay, well, then you need me.

Dick's got a tracker in him.

Nice try, Speed. He disabled it.

Got a big ol' scar to prove it.

Let's bounce.

He didn't tell you
about the second one?

It's in a place he's
never gonna find.

Ew.

Just tell us where he is.

We can access it
on the Batcomputer

if you let me come
with you guys.

I wanna kill this kid.

Kill him after we find Dick.

You got a deal.

[yells]

[grunting]

[Donna] Would you
just stop blasting it?

You're wasting
all of your power.

[panting] Rachel is in there.

Anything could be
happening to her.

Says the woman who
was sent here to kill her.

Okay, now that she
and Dick are in there

with some intergalactic demon,

maybe you could try something
that might actually work?

Like what, Donna?

Or were you hoping

the sheer force of your
criticism would save her?

At least I'm not
draining my powers

just because I can't sit still.

Says the Titan who quit.

Oh, you really wanna
go there right now?

[engine rumbling]

[Jason] Hey, don't
stop on my account.

I like where that was heading.

Jason?

That's right!

The goddamn cavalry
has arrived. [chuckles]

What the fuck is that?

And why is it wearing
Dick's costume?

- The new and improved Robin.
- The annoying new Robin.

[Dawn] Who's your friend?

Um, Hank, Dawn,
this is Kory Anders.

- She's an alien.
- What?

What? It's true.

You could've put a
little more love into that.

Well, I wish we were meeting
under better circumstances.

Why are you guys here?

Rachel got inside of
her head at the hospital.

Yeah, I think she woke
me up from my coma.

She's in there, isn't she?

Yeah.

So what the fuck
is going on here?

Rachel's father is a
being called Trigon.

And if we can't stop him
here, he'll destroy your world.

And move on, destroying
countless others.

Our scripture states

Trigon can only fully
inhabit your world

after he breaks Rachel's heart.

We're talking metaphors, right?

We don't know, but if we
don't get through that force field

and into the house in there,

I'm afraid we're
never gonna find out.

Kid should've asked us
to get fucking Superman.

No offense, but your
dad is an asshole.

Tell me about it.

[rumbling]

[Rachel gasps]

[Gar] Oh, that's creepy.

Come on.

[Dick] Rachel?
Come out and play.

[Rachel] Come on, we
need to find a way out.

[Gar] What is happening?

[Rachel panting]

What is happening?

[eerie growling and wailing]

[Rachel] It's my father.

He's doing this. He's
trying to scare us.

Guess what?

It's de... finitely working.

That dude is totally messed up.

What the hell did he do to Dick?

Whatever he did to Dick,
he wants to do to us as well.

We gotta get Dick
back to normal.

There's got to be some
way we can reach him.

Make him hear me.

[Dick] Hello?

Rachel? Where are you?

- [banging on door]
- [gasping]

[whispers] This isn't
right. Believe me.

This isn't how it's
supposed to end.

She's right. It ends with
us all being together.

Just let me in.

I just want to talk to you.

That's what you want
too, isn't it, Rachel?

To talk to me.

To get through to me.

To make me see the light again.

Well, here I am.

I'm listening.

Maybe we can get through to him.

[gasps]

Let's talk.

[growling]

Gar! A door!

[Gar] Rachel, look.

[laughing]

They came.

[Rachel] We have to get to
them before my father does.

[Rachel] Hurry!

[Trigon] Rachel's friends.

They're coming to save her.

And instead, they will
only hurry this along.

Cue the rescuers.

Oh, great. That's
not concerning.

It looks like someone's
inviting us in.

Invitation accepted!

Titans...

- [Robin] Yes?
- And... new Robin.

Let's go.

[pants]

- [Rachel] Kory?
- Rachel!

Kory!

Kory!

- [Kory whispers] Are you okay?
- Trigon did something to Dick.

- He changed him.
- What do you mean?

- Where are the others?
- I don't know.

They came in with me.
They should be here.

You need to stop them
before he can get to them.

[Gar] Look, it might've
already happened.

He does things to
you in your mind.

Okay, just let me get you
guys out of here first, okay?

[Rachel] No. You don't
understand. It's too late.

No one is safe. It's my fault.

Kill me.

What?

It's the reason you came
to Earth in the first place.

He'll use me to
take over our friends,

everyone we love.

They'll be his forever.

It's the only way.

- Rachel, this is crazy.
- [Rachel] Kory...

Kill me.

No. No.

Kill me now!

Do what you came here to do.

[panting]

Just do it fast.

- [Gar] Kory.
- [choking]

Kory!

Gar!

I'm so sorry, Rachel.

[faint growl]

[girl] No. Vanilla.

No. Chocolate.

- Where am I?
- [girl] Dad, I don't know.

Oh, Donna. What a dilemma, huh?

- [girl] What is a dilemma?
- [chuckles]

Dad?

[ice-cream vendor] You
don't have to make a choice.

- You can have both.
- [Donna's dad] Wow.

[Trigon] On the house.

[Donna's dad] Say
"thank you," honey.

- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

So what do you
wanna do now, Donna?

Go to the park and take
pictures of the horses.

[Donna's dad] Well, we better
go home and get your camera.

Do you remember
where you left it?

[Donna] Oh, God.

Not that day.

[panting]

I can save him.

[horn blaring]

Dad!

[smoke alarm beeping]

Dad!

Dad!

[man coughing]

Dad?

No!

[young Donna] Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy! [crying]

Daddy!

Hey!

You.

It was you. You did this.

[both grunt]

Why did you do it?

Why did you set
the fire? Tell me!

I can't help it! I...

I like it when things burn.

I'm sick.

Arrest me.

No.

[arsonist screaming]

[faint growl]

[static crackling]

[gasping softly]

No, Bruce.

No, no, Bruce!

Bruce, wake up, man.

No, Bruce.

[Dick] I saw Bruce's
future, Jason.

Yeah, what the fuck
did you do, Dick?

[Dick] Batman
was going to break.

Kill the Joker.

Take down Gotham with him.

He trained you too well, Jason.

You could break just like him.

You need to be put down, too.

You think you're better than me?

I didn't say that.

You think you can take my place?

Dick, stop.

You can be Robin after I'm dead.

If you insist.

[both grunting]

- [bones crack]
- [screams]

[gasping]

Give it up, Robin.

[panting]

The gun that killed
Bruce's parents.

You don't actually
think he keeps it loaded?

No.

But I do.

[faint growl]

[Hank] I shouldn't
have involved you.

[folk song playing faintly]

The coach was my problem.

[knocking on door]

Hey, Hank. I got your call.

Special delivery.

This will take the pain away.

It'll make you feel so good.

I just want you, Hank.

This'll help you more
than I ever could.

It'll make you feel so good.

Trust me, babe.

♪♪ Lord knows
They haven't done ♪♪

[groans]

[sighs deeply]

[moans softly]

[exhales slowly]

You see?

Everything's better now.

[faint growl]

[Gar] Real life horror
movie! Real life horror movie!

[Rachel panting] Oh!

Thank God.

You got in. You're here.

No.

[Angela] Your children,
aren't they beautiful?

[Trigon] I have only one child.

And to her, I would
give the world.

Rachel, what the hell?

Don't fight it, Rachel.

It's perfectly natural.

It's who they are.

It's who we all are inside.

Don't listen to him.
That's not them.

They're still in there.

No.

Cue the final betrayal.

You know what to do.

Gar.

Uh, hey, guys. It's me, Gar.

[Gar grunting]

[Rachel] No! Stop!

Dick, please listen to me.

Back in Detroit, remember,
it was just you and me,

and I found you, and
I asked you for help,

and you said yes.

[sobbing] You said you
would. You said you would.

You promised. You promised.

And if you can hear
me now, please help me.

Please, please, stop them.

Please.

Please.

[groaning weakly]

[relieved sigh]

[whimpering]

[choking]

No!

[sobbing] No, no, no.

No, no, no.

[distorted screaming]

[glass shattering]

Save him!

Not this time.

I told you it would end.

You should have listened to me.

Maybe he could've lived.

But now his death
is on your hands.

Your friends are murderers

all because of you.

You're a monster inside.

A bringer of death.

That's all you are.

All you've ever been.

Just... like...

me.

[Rachel sobs] No.

I'm sure it breaks your heart.

Yes.

I can see that it does.

Good.

[choking]

[grunts, gasps]

[heart beating]

[low growling]

[growling]

[heavy footsteps]

[distorted] With this,

you have the power to
rule the world with me.

[distorted] I understand now.

That's my girl.

We are a family now, and
the world belongs to us.

Should we begin?

Some housekeeping first.

I don't understand.

That's the problem.

You never did.

[neck snaps]

Now, we begin.

[rumbling]

[bird caws]

[squishing]

[hissing]

[squishing]

[gasping]

[grunts weakly]

[Gar, softly] Rach.

[gasps]

You're still you.

Come back to me.

I know you're still in
there, Rach. Please.

Come back to us.

You've gotta fight it,
Rach. Please don't give in.

[gasping]

We've gotta stop your father.

[Rachel] I need to
get Dick back first.

You reached me.

There has to be a
way to reach him.

I think maybe we're past that.

No. This started with a
dream I had about him.

Before all this.

I was supposed to find him.

That's what the
dream was telling me.

My dream was the key.

It's all in the dreams.

Rach, no.

[groans softly]

[gasps]

What happened to you?

Remember.

[Rachel] Dick.

It's me.

What's with the new look?

I could ask you
the same question.

What are you doin' here?

I came here to save you.

[scoffs]

Do I look like I need saving?

Yes, you do.

What just happened,
what you just did,

it was all planned by Trigon.

He's been pulling the
strings the entire time.

Dick, you would
never kill Batman.

Are you kidding?

I've been dreaming about
this since I was 12 years old.

My only regret is
waiting for so long.

You taught me how to
let go of the darkness.

You have to let it go, too.

I have a better idea.

[distorted] Shut
your fucking mouth!

This isn't you.

I had a dream about you.

[scoffs] What dream?

I saw you at the circus.

The boy from the circus.

That's how I found you.

We're supposed
to save each other.

[choking]

I'm sorry, Rachel. [chuckles]

You caught me on a bad day.

I'm coming to you.

But if I die here,
I die for real.

Is that what you really want?

[Rachel gasps]

I missed you.

[gasps] Rachel.

Welcome back.

[Gar coughs]

What happened?

Dick can fill you in.

I think I need a minute
alone with my father.

Stay there.

Father!

My child.

Join me.

I would, but, you know...

stuff to do.

I do want to thank you, though.

For what?

For showing me who
my family really is.

This isn't the time
to get sentimental.

[scoffs]

I wouldn't worry.

I know how to look after myself.

Always have.

You know what they say...

genetics is destiny.

[Trigon growls]

[roaring]

[muffled boom]

[all groaning]

[Dick] You okay?

Yeah.

[sighs] Yeah. I think so.

- You?
- I am now.

[reporter] Clearly,
this has been

some kind of major disturbance.

Can you tell us what happened?

We can't say for sure.

All we know is that whatever
the cause of the phenomenon,

it appears to have been abated

by this new group
of masked heroes.

So, apart from some dead
birds, we seem to have...

Titans are back, bitches! Whoo!

You're kind of an
asshole, aren't you, kid?

Yeah, but you like me. Admit it.

Never gonna happen.

I gotta give it to you, Rach,

you really know
how to throw a party.

Yeah. Do it again.

- Love beating Dick's ass.
- Keep dreaming, bird boy.

Nice one. Really inventive.

I'll be here all
week. [chuckles]

Maybe give us a
heads-up next time

so I can do my own eye makeup.

Your demon dad
wasn't much for subtlety.

[Kory] Really? I kinda liked it.

It was really gothic, you know?

Uh... I didn't.

Hey, man, again...

we're really sorry.

No, it's cool.

Hey, I know it wasn't
really you guys.

It couldn't have been.

Dick was actually kinda
funny, in a weird, psycho way.

You do realize I'm listening.

[Dawn] You guys have fun.

- [Hank] Where are you goin'?
- [Rachel] Um...

Where are we going?

Uh...

I don't know. It's a mystery.

[Rachel] It's a mystery.

Annoying.

Some things never change.

[Kory] So, you caught
the road bug, huh?

What, bad coffee
and greasy food?

- What's not to love?
- [chuckles]

It's nice you're
taking the kids.

- Yeah, you think so?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, you're
good with them.

So are you.

And this model seats five.

So not for me right now.

I suppose I should
figure out my next move.

- Any thoughts?
- Mmm...

Yeah. Maybe a few.

Ah. A mystery.

[chuckles]

Yeah. Well, I'll let you
know when I decide.

[Rachel] Another mystery?

Get used to it. Life's
a lot better with them.

That sounds like something
Batman would say.

Uh, do we get to
meet him this time?

- Uh, no. Superman.
- [chuckles]

- Seriously?
- No. Get in the car.

[Kory laughs]

- Shotgun!
- [Rachel screams]

- Hey, seriously?
- [Kory] Hey!

Bye, guys. I'll miss you.

- Bye, Kory.
- [Rachel] Miss you more.

Send me a postcard
from your planet.

[Kory] Will do.

You sure it's cool
if we take your ride?

Never use it in
the city, anyway.

You guys need it more than I do.

Well, guys, take care.

Hey, I mean this in
the best possible way.

It's really been fun,

but let's not meet like
this again for a while, huh?

Hear, hear.

It's a deal.

I'm kidding.

[Hank] He's an asshole.
He did that on purpose.

- [all chuckling]
- [Donna] Good luck.

[engine starts]

[honking]

- [Kory] Bye.
- [Donna] See ya.

[water splashing]

[sighs]

[exhales deeply]

[groans]

[inhales sharply]

I found that foreign
tea you asked me about.

Had to go on the Internet.

[woman on TV] We
can't say for sure.

All we know is that whatever...

It's around here somewhere.

It appears to have been abated

by this new group
of masked heroes.

So, apart from some dead birds,

we seem to have
escaped any significant...

Titans are back, bitches! Whoo!

[reporter] I'm sorry,
you were saying,

"Any significant..."

[woman] Right. Any
significant damage.

So, while we're still
trying to understand...

"Chinese chrysanthemum tea"?

Seriously, why do
you hate America?

[keypad beeping]

[door unlocks]

[man 1] I have had inquiries.

[man 2] Mm-hmm.

[man 1] There's been
interest in your services.

[man 2] I'm sure.

The letters I sent?

I read 'em.

I guess you put down
the wrong address

when you mailed me back.

Something like that.

- I got this.
- No. No.

It's my house.

- [system] System unlocked.
- [door unlocks]

Dry cleaners were asking

too many questions
about the blood.

Got it off the best I could.

Little baking soda-lemon
juice combo did the trick.

How about it, old man?

Are we back in business?

[sighs]

Hmm.

[sighs]

[Bruce] I hadn't heard
from you for a while.

When Alfred mentioned
you wished to stop by,

I'll admit, I was surprised.

It's not like you,
Bruce, to be surprised.

True. I try not to
make it a habit.

I see you made the news

with your old Titans friends.

And some new ones, too.

You've been very busy.

I have.

[Bruce] But that's not the
reason you've come to see me.

[Dick] No.

I never got the chance to
talk to you about why I left.

[sighs]

It wasn't exactly
on great terms.

In my experience, when
people part, it rarely is.

I don't wanna make
a big thing out of this.

I just wanna say a few
things to clear the air.

After I left, when I
moved to Detroit,

part of me was
still back here...

still trying to make sense
about what happened, as a kid.

I struggled.

There was this
darkness inside of me,

and I didn't know
what to do with it.

It hurt me.

And I hurt others.

The whole time, I thought

it was because of
the way you raised me,

the way you
weaponized my childhood.

That's one way of putting it.

Point is, I blamed
you for a lot of things

that may or may not
have been your fault.

I see.

So you've decided
which one it is now,

and you've come
to render a verdict.

No.

It doesn't matter anymore,

the why or how.

I know you only
did what you knew,

what you thought
was best for me.

The training...

everything.

You only did it

so I would focus on
something other than

being angry and sad about
what happened to my parents.

And this, uh...

This darkness you mentioned...

I had to let it go in
order to move on.

It was stopping
me from realizing

all the things you
did that helped me.

I'd be curious to know what
you think those things are.

Maybe another time.

Cryptic.

Well done.

I learned from the best.

Well, I appreciate
you coming by.

Things haven't been
the same since you left.

You mean with Jason Todd?

Yeah, he's shown great
promise, as you know.

Though there are
some rough edges

that could use sanding down.

Seems right up your alley.

Well, perhaps after
this conversation,

I'll take an entirely
new approach.

[chuckles]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Fair enough. Old
dogs, et cetera.

[Dick chuckles]

And you, any new tricks?

Maybe.

[chuckles softly]

If there's anything you
need, you let me know.

Well, as a matter
of fact, there is.

I've been thinkin'
about San Francisco.

Titans again.

Maybe it's time for a do-over.

On one condition.

[Jason] It's not a
demotion, per se.

More like a
temporary relocation.

[Rachel] Ugh. Whatever.
Dick, where are we going?

[Dick] I thought it was obvious.

I mean, this bridge has
been in a ton of movies.

[Gar] Yeah, but where exactly?

[Dick] You'll see.

[Jason] God, I hate surprises.

♪♪ Hey, oh ♪♪

♪♪ Sing into my mouth ♪♪

♪♪ Out of all those
Kinds of people ♪♪

♪♪ You've got A
face with a view ♪♪

♪♪ I'm just an animal
Looking for a home ♪♪

What is this place?

Home.

♪♪ Love me till I'm dead ♪♪

♪♪ Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you ♪♪

♪♪ Cover up the blank
spots Hit me on the head ♪♪
