Young Justice (2010–…): Season 4, Episode 23 - Episode #4.23 - full transcript

[car approaching]

[gang laughing]

[Wilhelm] Tur vins ir!

[panting and grunting]

[revving loudly]

[panting]

Despite what you may
have heard, true Markovians

do not want meta-scum
infecting our homeland.

I don't want any trouble!

Sorry. Can't understand you.

We don't speak "Freak".



[snarling viciously]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

[gasps]

Get him! Kill him!

[Johnny panting nervously]

[thugs grunting]

[Geo-Force] I wouldn't do that.

[Geo-Force] Infinitors. Engage.

- [thug 1] Hey!
- [thug 2] Oh!

[thugs grunting]

[grunting]

You are safe now.

[panting]



[Geo-Force] Mother of Goat!
Kobold, Trajectory, watch these thugs.

Fury, with me!

But, boss...

Everyman? What are you
doing here?

Did you see anyone run past?

Sorry, boss.
No one here but me.

Episode Title: "Ego and Superego"
Aired on: May 19, 2022.

[both grunting]

What is in this thing?

My whole life! [Giggles]

[Violet grunts]

What's wrong?

Nothing. You know what to do.

What if someone sees?

Coast is clear.

Hmm.

Uh...

I'm still not very good at
levitating anything except myself.

Uh, I might drop you.

I'll take my chances

So, met your new roommate?

We video chatted.

She seems nice.

"Nice"? Wow. Great.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing. I...

I mean, you've got new powers, new
clothes, new school, new roommate.

You definitely won't miss an old
friend who's working at the D.W.P.,

instead of going to college.

Harper, we will
always be friends.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

It's just...

[sighs]

Vi, you're my best friend and I
don't wanna mess that up, but

you're not with Brion anymore,
and I dumped Jack.

So if I'm being honest, for a long
time, I've wanted to be more than friends.

I'm gonna go.

[gasps]

You don't have to
answer me now.

Just...

Think about it.

[indistinct radio conversation]

[camera shutter clicking]

I do not like
the looks of this.

How did that man get past you?

[Zviad Baazovi]
Mahns Karalis! Sveika!

Ambassador, we almost had
Wilhelm Vittings in the forest.

But somehow he evaded Everyman.

I'm starting to wonder...

[Zviad Baazovi]
Forget Vittings.

Tonight, you sent a powerful
message to these radical anti-metas

trying to force metas
out of Markovia.

We must focus
on the big picture.

True.

Let us be clear.

Despite a few bad actors,
we want the world to know

that Markovia
welcomes meta-humans.

You have a home here.

My Infinitors and I
will protect you.

[camera shutters clicking]

Listen, we don't have
much time.

My name is Tinya Wazzo.
Phantom Girl.

I'm a member of the Legion of...
[sighs]

Never mind. You won't know it.

But the thing is,
I can phase through matter.

Like how Miss Martian
density-shifts.

Except, I do it by phasing between your
dimension and my home dimension of Bgztl.

I've been putting it together, and I
think that's how we wound up here.

[Phantom Girl] Back on Mars, my
friends and I were trying to protect you.

So when you were about
to die in that explosion...

[screaming]

I attempted to phase us both
to Bgztl to save your life...

But between the pain and your
body's high density,

we didn't make it.

[Phantom Girl] See,
think of this circle as Mars,

and this one as Bgztl.

I'm guessing the Phantom Zone is a
trans-dimensional buffer between the two.

Well, not between
the two planets,

but the two dimensions
that contain those planets.

Just getting here knocked me
out for... I don't know how long!

So this'll be difficult, but I
think I can get us both back.

I know it's confusing.
But I'll explain it all later.

Right now,
we need to get out of here!

You're fighting me.

Your willpower's like an
anchor, tying us to the Zone.

Let go, so I can
bring you home.

I can't leave.

I've pledged my loyalty to Zod.

[gasps]

[engine revving]

[door opens]

[door opens and shuts]

[door shuts]

Spread out.
Search Pattern Alpha.

If we're going to rescue S.B.,
we need to find it.

You'd think finding one old
school bus would be easy.

[Tigress] Found it!

Ah, great job!

Phantom Zone, here we come!

[Tigress] Yeah, that might
be a problem...

[Geo-Force] I remember you
from Cuba.

We, I mean the Outsiders,
rescued you from Klarion.

It's, eh, Johnny, correct?

- [awkwardly] Lizard Johnny.
- Good! Own it.

I'm honored you chose Markovia,
Lizard Johnny.

Don't let these thugs
give you the wrong idea.

I will not allow anyone
to harm you.

You mean you'll do them
like you did your uncle?

[stuttering] Sorry!

It was all over the news.
A-and I'm not looking for a fight.

I just want to be left alone.

I understand. And you
shouldn't have to fight.

Markovia can be whatever
kind of home you need it to be.

[speaking Markovian]

How are you doing, my boy?

A traumatic experience
like that?

- You must be so angry!
- I...

Not unlike the anger
felt by our King,

who did what he had to do
to defend himself

and others,
from his traitorous uncle.

Yeah, yeah! That's right!

[speaking Markovian]

No... That's not what we want.

If the High and Mighty League
were taking care of these children,

they wouldn't need us,
would they?

- That's right.
- Pareizi!

[Zviad Baazovi] Wonderful!
I'm glad we're in agreement.

Come, Mueller. No need to
bother the Karalis with details.

[Geo-Force] Where's Johnny?

[Dinah] Okay,

I think everyone planning to
come to this month's group is here...

Who would like to share?

[dog panting]

I'm all moved in at Ivy,
ready to start classes.

I also stopped by
the Muslim Student Association

and signed up
for their orientation.

I feel like I have
a whole new life starting.

That's great, Vi!
You've come such a long way.

I'm sensing a 'but' coming.

Normal sensing.
Nothing psychic.

Someone I care about has
expressed... interest in me.

Uh, romantic interest.

Gee, I wonder
who that could be?

[gasps] You knew?

Sveika, Megan! She's been
crushing on you for a year.

- Who we talking about?
- [Dinah] You don't have to give us a name.

But, maybe tell us how this person's
'romantic interest' made you feel?

[stuttering] I can't tell how
I feel, because I'm...

[inhales sharply] ...blocked.

I...

I believe I am
a little bit broken.

I think we're all
a little bit broken.

Huh, or, you know,
a lot broken.

This "blockage".

It is Brion, yes?

I have so many
unresolved feelings.

Violet, I love my brother.

And I'd love nothing more
than for you to be part of his life.

But Brion made his choices.

You cannot be expected to
put your life on hold for him.

[Victor] Maybe
you need closure.

What if you reached out
one last time? Call him or text.

Remember, we aren't here
to offer advice.

Relate your personal
experiences but

try not to tell others
what to do.

Oh, right. Um...

when my dad and I had our issues,
it helped that he tried to reach out.

Gave me the chance to respond.

He told me it was important
to him to know he'd tried.

[Dinah] There are no right
or wrong answers here.

Only you can decide
what makes sense for you.

[Helga] It is a fact! Meta-Positive
teens from all over the world

have chosen
the Markov Family Center,

where, in a safe,
compassionate environment

those who have not had
their meta-genes activated,

are given the option,
on a strictly voluntary basis,

to undergo a simple T.R.
Two-Point-Oh Injection,

which has
a 95% success rate

at bringing new Meta-Humans
into the world.

Meta-Humans who then have the
option of joining the Infinity Cadets...

And those Cadets who train hard,
may become full-fledged Infinitors,

like Markovia's
greatest heroes,

Trajectory,

Fury,

Everyman,

Kobold,

and, of course,

Geo-Force himself,

King Brion Markov.

Together, we will
remake Markovia,

creating one loving
meta-family,

and turning that family
into a Nation of Heroes!

Yes!

- Lizard Johnny?
- King Brion!

I want to become a Cadet
and then a full-fledged Infinitor!

Such is the magic
of your rule, Your Highness.

They all want to become
heroes like you.

Because of you.

[footsteps receding]

Lizard Johnny
was at the Taos Center.

If he wanted to be a hero, he could've
joined the Team or the Outsiders.

I do not like
the looks of this.

Fury, report to Trajectory
for your next mission.

It seems the King and I
have much to discuss.

Is that what you want, Your
Majesty?

I...

Yes.

There is much to discuss.

General Zod is a tyrant
who attempted a coup

simply because he didn't approve
of how the Kryptonian government

interacted with
the New Genesians.

And if Zod gets out
of the Phantom Zone,

he'll stage a coup
to conquer the entire galaxy!

He doesn't deserve
your loyalty.

He's one of the bad guys.

He's one of the worst guys!

[Ursa] Super boy, we have
more questions.

Please, say nothing.

Such loyalty.

Still you watch over her,
though she may never wake.

She's awake now.

[gasps]

[vehicle approaching]

The mission's here?

Just follow our lead.

[doorbell rings]

Infinitors?

It is a little late
for a visit.

We know, Minister.
But it is urgent.

Markovia must remain
a safe haven for Meta-Humans.

I, well, agree, of course.

I've always supported
the King's policy.

Is this because of what I said
to His Highness

about recruiting Metas
away from the League?

Not necessarily.

It just raises
a larger question.

How can we be sure
of your loyalty to Meta-Humans,

when you and your family
don't have the meta-gene?

My... family?

A wife and two kids, right?

Asleep upstairs?

[growling]

I'd sure love to meet them.

What are you doing? Stop!

It seems many non-metas
like you and your family

feel more comfortable
across the border in Vlatava.

Food for thought.

Yo, holding me back like that?

Great touch!

[chuckling] You see Mueller's
face? He thinks you saved his life!

[Trajectory] Bet he's
packing his bags as we speak.

[Trajectory and Everyman
laughing]

Good. That'll give them
room to work.

Everybody ready?

Sgowogort egreme!

[Trogowogs screeching
and giggling]

[thuds]

[grunts]

[giggles]

[groans]

[clanking]

Great job, everyone!

Etativel!

You did almost as well
as my students.

If you rebuild that bus for us,
we'll give you any vehicle on this lot.

[Trogowogs giggling]

[whispering]

[indistinct]

[giggling]

- Deal!
- Hey, that's mine!

I'm not Bruce Wayne, you know?

Nah-ah. Uh-uh.

We'll throw in one full bag of
Freeze-Dried Chicken Whizees!

I was saving those
for the Zone!

[giggling and squealing]

Not until you're done.

And this will really work?

[objects clattering]

Thank you, Andie.

- [Victor] Yeah thanks.
- [Beast Boy] Good share.

[Lia] Good share, proud of ya.

Garfield, we haven't
heard from you.

Anything you'd like
to share... or, anyone?

This little guy is my new
emotional support dog, Wingman.

- I named him after, well...
- Wingman: The Crimson Avenger's sidekick,

the very first
superhero sidekick!

Yeah, we take care
of each other.

I give him food. He gives me
unconditional love.

We take walks together
so he can do his business.

Don't worry, I still do my
business in actual bathrooms.

But, it gets me
out of the house,

puts me on
a consistent schedule.

[both playfully barking]

Ha, ha!

I've been sleeping a little
better. Fewer nightmares. No pills.

Well, you know, except for
my prescribed antidepressants.

That's great, Gar.

Who knew a little dog
could have such a big effect?

Wingman's just part of it.

I'm doing the work
to get better.

What about your show?
It's pretty lame without you.

Don't know if I'll go back,
or if it'll even be my choice.

But... [inhales deeply]

I know I'm not ready for that
or the Outsiders right now.

What about the people
in your life?

M'gann and I have talked...
a lot.

It's been good.

Everyone's been really
forgiving of my prior jerkitude.

Mostly, they're just glad
I'm getting help.

Booyah!

And Perdita?

[Beast Boy]
I... I haven't gone there yet.

I really messed that up.

It's scary.

[gasping]

She wanted me
to leave with her.

Leave? Leave the cave?
The Fort?

Leave the Phantom Zone.

She can get us out?

She thinks she can.

But she won't take you.

She hates you.
Called you a tyrant.

Seize her.

[gasping nervously]

Please, come with me.

Neither of us is abandoning
the General.

We serve at his command.

You will kneel before Zod.

I won't.

I can't.

[breathes heavily]

I'm sorry.

[screaming]

[sighs]

[loud boom]

[chuckles]

[boom tube closes]

I know I'm not
supposed to be here.

But you wouldn't answer
my texts, so I felt I had to try.

I'm glad you did!

I've missed you.

I'm only now realizing
how much.

If you missed me,
why cut yourself off from me?

From your siblings?
From everyone?

I had to prove I made
the right choice.

So I've been busy building
something real, something important.

Something built on the foundations
of an execution and a coup?

I'm not saying
I don't have regrets.

All the more reason why
I need to make something good

come out of the ashes
of a year ago.

You don't have to
do that alone.

There are people who love you

and could help you,
if you let them.

Is that why you came?

To fix me?

No. I came to see if there's
anything still between us.

I'm no longer
a damaged Mother box,

fixated on fixing everything.

I'm more than that now.

You always were.

[voice quivering] Because you
helped me discover who I am inside.

For me, that journey
has continued,

and it hurts that you
haven't been part of it.

Shouldn't we walk
these paths together?

I... would like that, Violet.

But we both know
it's not that simple.

Nothing about being human
is ever simple, Brion.

I heard a Boom tube
Are you all right, Karalis?

This is her!

The woman you asked
to be your queen.

How wonderful!

Has she come to accept
your proposal?

They have absolutely not!

Then why are you here?

To get me to leave with you?

Do you expect me
to abandon my country?

I don't know why
I expected anything from you!

I have continued my journey.
But you are stuck

in the same place
I left you a year ago!

You didn't leave me.

I kicked you out.

Then I'll save you the trouble
of doing it again.

[Brion grunts]

[exhales]

My King, I know the ways of
the heart can be challenging.

Ambassador.

Leave.

Now.

Of course.

[bird cooing]

If you're waiting for them
to give you advice,

you may be here awhile.

[chuckles]

Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.

I'll bet.

It must feel like everyone
wants a piece of you.

What is it you want, Fury?

Please, call me Rosa.

And I was going to ask you
the same thing.

You look like
you could use a friend.

I know I could.

Someone I can talk to.
Someone I can confide in.

- I could use that too, but...
- Listen.

I know you have
no reason to trust me.

So... Let me lay
all my sins before you.

I've done things
I'm not proud of.

First, for Luthor
under a Control Chip.

Then for Trajectory and Baazovi
without one.

More than that, I've been told
things I'm no longer sure of.

I have to say, I do not
like the looks of this.

Tell me about it.

And I mean that literally.

[button beeps]

[ringing]

[Harper] Hello? Vi?

Harper!

Can I see you?

[Trogowogs giggling
and cackling]

[Kaldur'ahm] Amazing!

What did you call
these creatures?

Trogowogs.

But over the centuries,
they've had many names.

During World War II,
they were called Gremlins.

They favor tearing new things apart
over putting old things back together.

But as you can see...

- [engine revving]
- their skills work both ways.

Ta da!

[Tigress] From crushed
to crushing it.

Not bad.

All yours!

[cackling and giggling]

Woo hoo!

[sarcastically]
Hope you enjoy them.

- Aah!
- Ooh!

Ah! No joyriding in this realm.

And you really
should wear seat belts.

Bleh.

Sgowogort, nruter ot eht Htrae!

[Trogowogs in unison] Aww!

So we're really doing this.

And without M'gann?

[sighs] I hate keeping secrets.

But we can't get her hopes up.

If we're wrong, or if
this doesn't work,

I think it would kill her.

All aboard.

[engine turns off]

[belts power up]

Feeding you my power.

Thank you.

[inhales and exhales]

Mutrap a latrop!

[metallic screeching]

[door thuds]

Next stop, the Phantom Zone.

[ship horn blaring]

[water splashing]

[Catherine Cobert] And with no
further ado, allow me to introduce

Justice League Chairman,
Black Lightning,

and United Nations Secretary General Troia.

- [audience applauding]
- [Black Lightning] Thank you, Catherine.

The Justice League
is pleased to announce

that the construction
on our brand new

Hall of Justice is scheduled
to begin this spring,

here, on Justice Island.

[Troia] Right across
from the United Nations,

which welcome the League
as neighbors

and hope this represents
a brand new era

of partnership
between their organization

and ours.

[Black Lightning] And so,
we dedicate this site

to that partnership.

- [Black Lightning] Together?
- [Troia] Together.

[Leroy Bell] It's about time!

[audience cheering]

[Beast Boy] So crash!

[Looker] Ha, ha!
Very asterious!

[La'gaan] Neptune's beard,
that's how it's done!

[Silas Stone] Bravo! Bravo!

[Cyborg] Booyah!
