Young Justice (2010–…): Season 4, Episode 16 - Emergency Dive - full transcript

Forager is very happy
to welcome Baby to our Hive.

Forager will also miss Bio-Ship
very, very much.

[Baby trills]

But Forager is happy that
Bio-Ship will graduate

to a new life stage of rest
and retirement on Mars.

Forager knows
Bio-Ship wished for such.

How is Megan Morse doing?

Uh, there are good days
and bad days.

More bad than good,
to be honest,

but I'm keeping busy.

I helped Em'ree
move in upstairs,



and get a job at
the Erdel Initiative.

I'm also closing up
Conner's affairs,

and that's very painful,

[sighs] but my teammates
and the Kents and my friends,

everyone has been so wonderful,

stopping by, offering support,

and so, so many casseroles.

Megan Morse's Hive can help
Megan Morse get traught.

Has Megan Morse seen
Garfield Logan?

We've talked on the phone,

and he was the first person that
called when I got back from M'arzz.

But Megan Morse has not
met with Garfield Logan?

Not yet. I imagine has
been busy with Space Trek

and The Outsiders and Perdita.



Garfield Logan has
left Space Trek 3016.

Garfield Logan no longer goes
on missions with the Outsiders,

and Garfield Logan has
broken up with Perdita Vladek.

Forager thinks Megan Morse
should go see Garfield Logan.

[theme music playing]

[Arion] Must we do this?

It is humiliating.

[Mera] We apologize, Lord Arion,

but it has been almost a month
since you revealed yourself,

and all of Atlantis has
been chanting your name.

Certainly you can see the need
for us to confirm your identity.

If it is easier,

I can simply tell people
I lied about being Arion.

[Orin] We are not trying
to make things easy.

We merely seek the truth.

Please, just perform
a little magic for us.

- Anything will do.
- [sighs]

Behold Arion.

The great Lord and
failure of Atlantis.

Well?

Uh, the test is not conclusive,

but your magical residue
is indeed, uh, unique.

Your magicks are
of an older strain

than any we have
encountered before.

Our readings concur,

and your DNA is a match
with Batman's samples

for both Vandal and
Cassandra Savage.

Then, it would seem we
have as much confirmation

of your immortality as possible.

Short of a direct comparison to
Arion's DNA from ancient Atlantis.

I'm afraid we did not think to collect
DNA samples 12000 years ago.

[Blubber chuckles nervously] Unless
we finally found your legendary crown

with surviving hair follicles
attached. [chuckles nervously]

Our prophecies
speak of your crown.

Do you know where it is?

My crown, like my
kingdom, was lost

the day Atlantis was sunk,

buried by the sands of time,

and entombed by the
gravestone you call Xebel.

For centuries, archaeologists
have searched for the crown

in the ancient ruins
beneath Xebel.

Those excavations barely
go down a millennium.

The Earth consumed Atlantis
12 times that many years ago.

[sighs] Whatever
remains of those ruins,

my ruins, are likely
beyond your grasp.

[distant thunder]

[grunts]

Don't shift your legs. Keep your
head straight and back straight,

eyes focused on
your landing point.

Oh, you've got
it. You've got it.

[Superboy grunts]

[grunts]

- [chuckles] Very smooth.
- [groans softly]

- [chuckles] - It's
harder than it looks.

Stand up, get up
Let's get traught

Try, try again
with all you've got!

Okay, okay, this is getting old.

We're not getting anywhere.

[Megan] I know you can
find your way back to me.

I believe in you, Conner.

We'll get through
this... together.

I love you.

Love you, too, M'gann.

Don't know what
I'd do without you.

[all] Arion! Arion!

Arion! Arion!

Lord Arion, forgive
me if I overstep,

but you have been hiding in
sanctuary here for weeks now.

There are Atlanteans below
from all eight City-States.

Could you not say something
to give these people hope?

I never wanted this, Chian.

With respect, my Lord,
what else could you expect?

You single-handedly
saved Poseidonis twice.

I owed Atlantis that much.

[inhales] If I could
sneak away unnoticed,

without causing a riot...

I would.

[all] Arion! Arion!

[Orin] They're rioting in
Xebel, in Arion's name.

King Nereus must be
stewing in his own juices.

I believe that is called irony.

Father has been actively
alienating his citizens

from Poseidonis
and you for years.

Suddenly he's surprised
Xebelians want a new order?

His attempts to sway the
masses now fall on ears

that only hear the Prophecy.

A prophecy that merely
muddies the waters.

"The stranger come
from out our past.

The Trident's threat, the
Red Death, the True King."

Orin, even I must admit,

these elements of the prophecy

resonate with
Arion's recent deeds,

and understandably,
with all of Atlantis.

[Orin] As you can
see, Kaldur'ahm,

this is a delicate and
complex situation.

Take a covert squad to Xebel
to search for Arion's crown.

The Watchtower performed
a deep geo-scan of the area.

It discovered a vast
subterranean pocket ocean

beneath Xebel's sea floor.

By the Gods.

This may contain the
ruins of ancient Atlantis,

of which Arion has spoken.

Find a way into this undersea
without drawing attention.

Maintain radio silence.

News of this search
would only heighten unrest.

For the sake of all Atlantis,

we must prove or
disprove this Prophecy.

Of course, Annax.

[Garfield] I can't believe you
called Perdita. You had no right.

You're missing the point, Gar.

Perdita and I are
both worried about you.

Self-medicating may help
block your pain in the short term,

but, in the long term,

it only blocks your
healing process.

I don't need your
healing process.

Just some sleep.

Gar, please.

We learned on M'arzz

you had underlying
emotional trauma

you needed to deal with.

Hallucinating about Brion
didn't come from nowhere.

You were terrified of losing
another family member.

- And that was before...
- Before Conner died?

You can't even say it.

Maybe I'm not the
one who needs help.

Maybe I do need help,

but we're talking about you now.

And you promised to seek
counseling when you got back to Earth.

Because I was diagnosed by
someone posing as you in my mind?

Like I'm going to trust that.

We still have no
clue who it was.

For all we know, it
was Conner's killer.

Fine, but now I'm saying
you're suffering from depression,

maybe post-traumatic
stress disorder.

You have all the
classic symptoms.

Let me guess.

Sleeplessness, self-medication,

withdrawal from
normal activities,

pushing love ones away?

- Yes, you're doing all of that.
- No kidding.

I've been here before, right?

When Mom died, when Rita
died, Chief, Negative Woman,

Tula, Jason, Ted, Wally.

I survived it all.

I know the pitfalls,

and I know how to get
through this in my own way.

[footsteps approaching]

It's clearly
different this time.

Don't forget, I was there, Gar,

through all of it.

I've seen how strong you are,

but everyone has
a breaking point,

and you're well past yours.

You need help.

No one knows what I
need better than I do,

so just leave me alone.

[Rodunn] Does Kaldur'ahm not
understand how close our baby's arrival is?

What if the big day comes
early and you're not here?

I'm sure he would
rather reconsider

than have to
explain your absence

to our soon-to-be-born child.

Coral, Rodunn, my loves,

It is an honor, not a burden

that Kaldur chose
me for this mission.

I will be back in
a few short days.

[kisses] Be patient, little one.

Easy for you to say.

I will see you all
again soon, because?

[both] We never say goodbye.

[Wyynde] You said you would
take a break after Orm was captured.

Well he was captured weeks ago,

and you have not slowed down.

Let someone else
take this mission.

I cannot. The King
has entrusted it to me.

In any case, I am fine.

As you are coming with
La'gaan and I, you will see that.

On your secret
mission for the King?

- Yes.
- May I come?

I am sorry, Delphis.

You have your
volunteer work here,

and you are not
trained for such things.

If you need anything,
call my parents.

What if you need
something, Kaldur'ahm?

Thank you! Exactly.

[Kaldur'ahm sighs]

It's a long way to jump.

Come on! Jumping
is totally your thing.

You can do this with
your eyes closed.

But, like, don't close
your eyes for real,

'cause you might miss and fall
forever through a terrifying abyss.

I might miss anyway.
It's a long way to jump.

Dude, we'll make it.
We'll make it together.

But what's the point?

- Look at us.
- Okay, sure. We're dead.

Ghosts, phantoms,
spirits, whatever.

But I don't think we're
in Heaven or in Hell.

We're in some kind of Purgatory,

so, we have to keep moving.

Climb the mountain, leap
the chasm, pass the test

and prove ourselves worthy.

Only way to reach
our final destination.

[sighs] It's a long way to jump.

[Wally] Always is. When
it matters, it always will be.

But we can do it.

We just need a running start.

[Conner grunts]

Back again?

How many times can I tell you

I do not know this
so-called Arion?

I'm not here to
talk about Arion.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Our past. How far
back does it go?

What are you babbling about now?

Did Vandal Savage turn you,

or did you hate me from
the moment we met?

When I first came to Atlantis

and our mother tried
to make us a family,

were you already
plotting against me?

Oh, please, Orin. You had
me in this cell for six years.

You came to visit me 16 times.

Haven't we covered all this?

[Orin] Find DNA
on this and run tests.

You want me to run
tests on your brother?

I want to run tests to
see if he is my brother.

Now I must go.

Go? You cannot go now.

- The kingdom...
- I leave our kingdom in your capable hands.

Ugh, ma'al.

I was just coming up to get you.

For the intervention.

For the intervention.

All right. Let's
get this over with.

Who's first?

Ah, hermano, don't be like that.

Can't we just be cool here?

The way we made the
Outsiders cool with the world.

The world was not cool with
us metas before the Outsiders.

- You pulled the Outsiders together.
- Yes!

Togetherness.

Symbiose, right? Key point here.

Like, look at Windfall,
and even Livewire...

They're with the Outsiders
now 'cause you inspired them.

Inspired, yes!

You inspired meta
kids all over the world.

- With your big mouth.
- Big mouth?

- His, uh, voice. Your voice!
- Your voice!

The one-of-a-kind
Garfield Logan!

We miss you, man.

We just want you
to get some help.

And like, how bad would that be?

We all need a little
help sometimes.

That way we can all get
back to inspiring folks.

Symbiose.

Nice routine.

You have the
timing down perfect.

Now take it on the road. Next.

You can't talk to
my guys that way.

Especially because
they're our guys.

[scoffs] I know you know better,
because you taught me better,

and I know you still
have more to teach.

Gar, when you went to Mars,

I thought I was just
filling in as leader.

So, okay, if you don't want
to lead again, that's fine,

but I still need my
friend and mentor back.

And that can't happen
until you help yourself.

So?

So, the leader thing,
figure it out yourself.

I did. Next.

Like you, I have long
opposed Orin's rule,

but transferring your
loyalty to this false legend...

- [Xebelian 1] False legend?
- [Xebelian 2] Blasphemy!

[Xebelian woman] Arion
is the true king of Atlantis!

- Surrender your throne.
- To Arion!

-[Xebelians clamoring] -Keep
them back. Teach them duty.

[Xebelian man] The King's
Watch would silence us!

[Xebelian man 2]
Nereus would silence us.

[Kaldur'ahm] We will use the
unrest in Xebel to cover our infiltration.

Then, per the
Watchtower's intel,

we will make our way
to the Grave of Legends.

It is a holy site. Guarded.

But Nereus' Watch will be
stretched thin dealing with the crowds.

We should be able
to work undetected.

[La'gaan] Neptune's Beard!

Wyynde, he looks like you.

Well, some of us are the direct
descendants of the old heroes.

[Kaldur'ahm] The ground between Xebel
and the undersea beneath is thinnest here.

This is where we dig.

Should not one of us
stand watch for guards?

Better to complete
the job quickly.

[crowd chanting] Arion!

- [Chian] Pardon, my Lord.
- [chanting continues indistinctly]

You had no wish to cause a riot,

but rioting has begun.

Xebel is in chaos.

Only you can restore peace.

No. These are matters
for Atlantis' current leaders.

Nobody will listen to them.

The riots are in your name.

[sighs] Then, I will discuss
Xebel with the High King.

Annax Orin has left the palace.

Lord Arion, our
absent king left orders

for you to remain here,

but I can sneak you out.

[snickers] Will
you look at this?

A poor little goldfish
has lost his way.

Your chum Kaldur'ahm
was here a month ago

and failed to find your brother.

Nothing for you
to find here either,

except trouble.

I have some
experience with trouble.

Oh, not Ninth Tride trouble.

Your authority
means nothing here.

My loyal subjects may disagree.

Really, M'chiste, you have
nothing to fear from Lemon Sharks,

save their teeth.

Danuuth... We need to talk.

[Robotman] Sorry,
did I just hear you say

you figured everything
out on your own?

'Cause no frickin' way.

Gar, you never had to
figure nothing out alone.

I was there after
you lost your mom.

It was bad. Real bad.

But you got help. From
me, from Rita, from Megan.

And 'cause of that, you
never lost your optimism,

your desire to do
right, to help people.

Like how you helped me.

I was nothing but a brain
stuck in a frickin' metal jar.

But you showed me

the only jar holding me back
was the one I put myself in.

You set me free.

And then our little Doom Patrol had
to go and make the ultimate sacrifice,

'cause that's what
us heroes do, right?

Rita, Chief, Val...
gone. Game over.

Then they found my friggin' head

at the bottom of that
river and woke me up.

My only thought was
that I should've died too.

And again, you were there.

Convinced me that
my survivin' was a gift.

The last gift I could
give them that's gone.

That Garfield Logan would
never have abandoned his friends,

his family, or the world,
like you're doing now.

So if you think I'm
going to sit back

and let you lock your brain away

in this Premiere Building jar,

well, you got another
thing coming, kid.

You came back from the
dead to give that speech?

Next.

You having a good time?

It's easy,

almost fun to dismiss all
these people who love you.

Easier and more fun than

actually dealing
with your problems,

than actually facing your grief.

[sniffles] But you're not
the only one grieving,

the only one hurting.

I can't help you if you withdraw
from everyone you care about,

including me.

And you can't help me either.

And I need you, Gar.

I need my brother.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to be needed.

I can't take being
needed anymore,

so stop telling me
how to fix myself.

I'm doing this my way. Alone.

Next.

Oh, wait, that's everyone.

The end.

Fine, but there's one
thing you can't do alone.

Black Lightning made annual
mental health checks mandatory.

Yours is past due.

So unless you're prepared to
permanently leave the Team,

the Justice League
and the Outsiders,

you have to attend one therapy
session with Black Canary.

[Garfield exhales]

All right, Kon-El. On your feet.

Time to make your next jump.

Easy for you to
say. You can fly.

Besides, what's the use?

I'm nearly out of asteroids.

They don't lead anywhere anyway.

I know what you're gonna say.

Never give up. There are
people who love and need me.

I just need to believe in
myself the way they do,

but it's hopeless.

Come on, Kal,
you don't play fair.

Please I'm all about fair play.

Come on. I'll go first.

- [Superman grunts]
- Kal!

[Superman grunting]

[Conner] Stop it. Stop!

- [bone cracking] -
[Superman groans]

No.

- [guard 1] What was that?
- [guard 2] This way. Over here.

- Too close.
- I recognize that show of light.

Because light shows
are totally my thing.

[sighs] Delphis, would
you like to join our mission?

Mm, I believe I already have.

[loud crash]

[Delphis] Wow. Did we know the
head up there had a body down here?

- [rumbling] -
[La'gaan] Cave in!

[Kaldur'ahm] Go, go!

Kaldur, your drill.

[Kaldur'ahm] Shield yourselves!

- [rock thuds]
- Moded.

- Kaldur...
- I am fine, Wyynde.

So, no turning back then?

No. No turning back.

We can dig our
way out when ready.

But we have a mission
to complete for our king.

[Orin] It is as I feared, Mera.

The Orm currently in our prison,

spoke of our 16 visits together
during his prior incarceration.

Visits that never happened.

I did go to the prison 16 times,

but each time, I chose to
depart without seeing him.

A fact this Orm did not know.

I tracked down my brother's
former lieutenant, Danuuth,

who confirmed my suspicions.

Before we captured this Orm,

Danuuth spend a month with him.

He said Orm's memories of events

after the true Ocean
Master was imprisoned,

were spotty, at best.

So Danuuth came to believe
this Orm was an imposter.

[Blubber] Not surprising, Annax.

This new Orm is a
clone of the original.

It was good work.

If I had not been looking for
it, I would not have found it.

But why clone Orm?
Where is your actual brother?

And what is his and
the Light's game?

I am not sure,

but I still suspect the
simultaneous arrivals

of both the clone Orm
and the Prophecy's savior

cannot be a coincidence.

I need to have another
chat with Lord Arion.

[Mera] Then we have a problem.

Arion has disappeared,
as has Chian.

No one saw them leave, and
no one knows where they went.

[Forager] When Forager
looks back on Forager's journey

to Class Valedictorian,

Forager sees Forager's
greatest lessons

came not only from
Forager's books and teachers,

but also from Forager's identity
as Fred Bugg with two Gs.

Forager was once
just a frightened larva,

foraging for friendship
and a future far from home.

To blend in among
the Earth drones,

Forager became
Fred Bugg with two Gs.

Eventually, Forager felt Fred
Bugg with two Gs was a lie,

and a problem, but
problems can be lessons.

And this lesson taught Forager

that Fred Bugg with two Gs,

was actually
Forager's pupa stage,

readying Forager
to metamorphosize

into a new Bug with one G,

a true Outsider, proudly
standing up and out

for all of Forager's Earth Hive!

So, now, Forager
gratefully urges

his Happy Harbor High
School Hive Graduating Class

to learn from
Forager's lesson of Gs,

both two and one.

Stand up, stand
out, metamorphosize

and forage the future!

[all cheering and whooping]

[boy] Graduation!
