[Starfire] Previously on titans...
[Blackfire] I finally know my truth.
Now I want my throne.
- Stay here with me. - I wish I could.
So you're like the rest of them?
Let's fire her up.
We got company behind us.
Looks like your destiny arrived after all.
Hey.
Midnight. This is how it was always gonna end.
[Both grunting]
[Sobbing]
[Bats screeching]
Gar?
"I and the public know what all schoolchildren learn
those to whom evil is done do evil in return"
no, you'll never be a titan again.
But you can help me save Gotham.
Crane's poem. His war on Gotham.
September has come.
[W. H. Auden on pa] "I sit in one of the dives
on fifty-second street
uncertain and afraid
as the clever hopes expire of a low dishonest decade
waves of anger and fear
circulate over the bright and darkened lands of the earth
obsessing our private lives
the unmentionable odor of death offends the September night
accurate scholarship can unearth..."
Computer, stop poem.
Call Fletcher.
[Computer trilling]
[Fletcher] Yes, doctor.
[Crane] I've had a change of heart.
As satisfying as it would be to see Barbara Gordon's reaction,
I realize now I don't need an audience.
But I know that her fate is very much of interest to you.
So, I give her to you.
She's yours to do with as you please.
Have at it.
- [Fletcher] Consider it done. - Good.
And, doctor, the security cameras at the armory caught your friend red hood.
He was with dick Grayson.
That's excellent.
It's good. It's very good.
Okay, it seems he found his way back.
And he's received my little gift.
Good work.
Computer, activate the charges.
- [Automated voice] Confirmed. - Prepare for the beginning of the end.
Gentlemen, I can't begin to tell you the number of ways this is a bad idea.
Actually, no, I can.
Commissioner Gordon is still your commander
and any attempt to harm her will come back to bite you in the ass.
And that's it she doesn't take care of you herself.
You do realize she's armed?
Last chance.
Okay.
[Beeping]
It's not personal. It's just orders.
I was really hoping you wouldn't say that.
[Electrical whirring]
[Vee] You need to put that thing down or we're gonna have a problem.
Are you ready to get to work?
[Chuckles softly]
[Vee] The main building is secured,
but there's still rogue gcpd units out there in the city.
Secured by whom?
Okay, full disclosure.
I don't really work for gcpd.
Yeah. I use the gym and the costco discount,
but I was actually sent here by a.R.G.U.S.
To monitor suspicious superactivity
after ra's al ghul started poking his nose around these parts.
A.r.g.u.s.? Like Roy Harper a.R.G.U.S.?
The one and only.
Oh, he sends his regards, by the way.
Is vee even your real name?
Depends. Do you like it?
It suits you.
Okay. Then we'll keep it.
I have other news.
We suspect that ra's al ghul was here
to place a Lazarus pit as a first step in a larger plan.
And we believe that crane used it to resurrect Jason Todd.
There's more.
It's a good thing you're sitting down.
Dick Grayson is alive.
What?
His titan friends took him to the pit, and he came out alive.
Now, we are not sure what they're doing yet.
But we're using the a.R.G.U.S. Satellite to try and track the titans right now.
Okay, time to save Gotham.
I took the Liberty of making a few staffing changes.
Hr's gonna be pissed.
[Officer] Move in!
On your three!
[Grunts]
Where the hell did you learn how to do that?
- YouTube. - Okay?
Uh, Donna?
[Guns firing]
Get back with your family. I'll deal with them.
- You can't... - Go!
[Officer] Get this thing off of me!
[Grunting]
[Officer screaming]
[Panting]
[Growls]
[Roars]
[Chuckles]
Why don't you get out of that fur suit and come say hi?
Jeez, you look good for someone who's undead.
Oh, that's sweet. [Chuckles]
Hey, look, Lydia told me that you held vigil for me.
I really appreciate that.
I probably did it more for me than I did it for you, but, hey, itried.
It's funny how that works, huh?
Hey, kiddo.
If it ain't wonder girl, the sequel.
[Both laugh]
We have to go.
Dick sent us to find you. There's something going down with crane.
I think we're gonna need a minute.
Bro, impressive. Seriously.
- Didn't know you had it in you. - Neither did I.
We better get moving. You say goodbye to your friends?
I'm good. Let's go.
You need to stay.
This is where you belong.
We need you, but Gotham needs you more.
She's right. We'll be fine.
Do us proud.
Called it.
[Starfire] You did this?
I didn't mean...
You didn't mean to what? Blow up her ship?
Her only way back home?
You know what cowards hide behind?
Intentions.
I'm sick of people telling me what they didn't mean to do after they did it.
[Barking]
I'm sorry.
- Sorry's not enough! - Starfire.
[Scoffs]
I don't blame him.
Excuse me? Did he not just blow up your ship?
[Blackfire] Yes. He acted selfishly.
And I would have done the same thing if I were him.
Some of us have to fight for what we get.
And do stupid things along the way.
After everything we've gone through, you're just gonna forgive this?
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
But whatever it is, it sure as shit is not going to bring my ship back.
[Clears throat] On a purely technical level,
I can confirm that.
Not now.
You know what?
I'm done with this bullshit.
[Barbara over comms] Starfire, this is commissioner Gordon.
- Can you hear me? - Barbara?
One poem, multiple bombs.
Clues to where the bombs are are placed in the poem.
What's the plan?
Find some supers and stop the bombs from going off.
The titans?
What are they gonna do when they see me?
They're not.
- What's going on? - Get out.
Out?
I can't bring you to the titans. It'll cause a war. But I do need you.
So I'm your dirty little secret?
You wanna help? This is the way it'll be.
I can only fight one war at a time.
When do you need me?
If you don't hear from me before, meet me back here in three hours. Got it?
[Comms warbling]
[Barbara over comms] Dick, do you copy?
Barbara?
Yeah, it's me. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?
I'm fine.
Vee busted me out. Apparently, she's working for a.R.G.U.S.
- A.r.g.u.s. Is in Gotham? - We are now.
Long story. Basically, vee isn't who she said she was.
But who is really?
We're getting the a.R.G.U.S. Satellite locked in on you.
We've already contacted the other titans and activated their comms.
They're meeting in a Chinatown hideout.
Good.
Crane's about to blow Gotham to pieces. We need all hands on deck.
Yeah, happy to help.
A t signal. Nice touch.
- What was that? - Shining on a building off Gotham Plaza.
[Comms warbling]
This is Dr. Jonathan crane for dick Grayson.
Now, this is only the beginning.
There are ten bombs across the city.
How many can you find?
How many will die?
September has finally come.
And the season of the harvest is upon you.
[Barbara] Dick, is everything okay?
We lost you for a few seconds.
Get a call out to anyone near Gotham Plaza. Tell 'em to stay inside.
[Explosion]
[People screaming]
[People coughing]
[Coughing]
[Crane] "I and the public know what all schoolchildren learn
to those that evil is done do evil in return"
[sighs]
[Dramatic music playing]
[Opening theme music playing]
[Cell phone ringing]
- What do you know? - [Barbara] It's hard to tell.
Based on satellite readings, anywhere between 500 to 2,000 dead.
What about the toxin?
Wind's moving east, thank god, so most of it's dispersed over the harbor.
My guess is we're not gonna get lucky twice.
Stay handy. I'll call you right back.
[Phone beeps]
Gar, what do you know?
"I sit in one of the dives on fifty-second street"
there's like 20 dive bars near fifty-second street.
Narrow it down, find the one.
Hey, what do you guys got?
Line 76. "Who can reach the deaf who can speak for the dumb?"
Gotham's school for the deaf, is at machine and tenth.
But there are also four branches
of the Wayne institute for child development.
Each with a program for disabled kids including the deaf.
Do you think he'd target them because of Bruce's connection?
Find the one closest to midtown.
Near hotels, hospitals, apartment buildings.
He'd want maximum damage.
- Guys, anything? - "Nijinsky" comes up in line 59.
So far, we found a restaurant, a performing arts center,
and about 12 private residences.
Art center's a block from here. X-ray vision for a sweep?
I could try, but if crane's got the bombs in lead containers...
Let's hope he doesn't.
Hey, how's it coming along?
Like trying to find ten invisible needles in a thousand haystacks.
At the bottom of the ocean.
Look, if these bombs go off, we need a plan to save these people.
It's a deadly toxin.
I don't know what kind of plan we're talking about, dick.
The Lazarus pit.
Yeah, but we can't bring the whole city to the pit.
Unless we can somehow figure out a way to bring the pit to the city.
Try to find a way.
Don't expect miracles here.
I absolutely expect miracles. Let me know when you have one.
Conner, can I talk to you for a second?
[Sighs] About what happened...
You did what you had to do.
I know what it's like.
I did what I had to do too.
We have bigger things to worry about now.
All right, everybody, stop.
Forget the poem.
Forget the clues.
We've been going about this all wrong.
- Barb. - [Barbara] Talk to me.
This, all of this, all of us, racking our brains,
following clues, chasing our tails, we're playing into his hands.
Oh, dick, slow down.
This is all just a fucking game to him.
He wants us to run around like Batman would have.
He's right. You're right.
To him, you and I might as well just be Bruce and Jim.
It's the same game over and over again.
So let's not play it anymore.
Wait, we're not gonna look for the bombs?
[Dick] No, we're not.
Can the a.R.G.U.S. Satellite initiate a computer override?
Uh, yeah. If we can establish remote access to the mainframe, maybe.
We're gonna beat crane by doing what Batman never would.
We're going to Wayne manor. But not the way he expects.
[Starfi re] Um, dick?
About that miracle you asked for...
[Crane] I could while away the hours
conferring with the flowers
consulting with the rain
and my head will I be scratching
[automated voice] All devices armed.
While my thoughts were busy hatching
if I only had a brain
okay, so I'll try to keep this simple.
You have cold, moist air over here, see?
And then, hot air over here.
Add in some atmospheric particulates, mix well,
and, well, the result is obvious.
Yeah, we get it. It's a storm.
It was our idea. We literallyjust told you that.
But I drew it on the board.
Yes, you did.
But the question is can we do it without getting ourselves killed?
Only one way to find out.
All right, here's the plan.
We need to get inside Wayne manor before crane sets off the bombs.
Kory, Rachel, blackfire drain the Lazarus pit,
use it to bring back people that have died.
There's not enough for the whole city.
So we have exactly one shot at this.
Wait, why are you looking at me?
You saved my life by turning into a bat.
You think you can do it again?
I'm pretty sure I can't.
When I did it, when I turned into a bat, I was part of a hive mind.
Thinking with 100 brains.
It was loud and confusing, and I was flying. I...
I was so dizzy aftennards, I could barely walk.
[Dick] I didn't say it'd be easy.
Look, once we get inside, I need you to go to the keypad
and shut off the security system.
Barbara needs to access Wayne manor's computer network.
There's a router in my room.
When you get in, I'll talk you through setting it up.
Okay. Okay. I'm in.
Wait, uh, what's the code?
It's five digits, and the last person to set it up was Jason Todd.
Got it.
Wait, what is it?
Four-twenty-sixty-nine.
[Sighs] That tracks.
Dick, I didn't wanna say anything, but Wayne manor is crawling with gcpd.
When they hear the alarm, gar's cooked.
Don't worry, I've got that covered.
You're not gonna believe who we caught outside trying to get in.
There's something very wrong about this place.
It absorbs the worst fears and nightmares
of anyone who's ever been in it.
Extremely dark magic.
Too dark for you?
And if it goes wrong?
It's the last thing we'll ever do.
You don't have to do this.
Do you think I'm afraid?
You should be. I am.
I'm ready.
Me too.
Then what are we waiting for?
[Warbling]
[Screams echoing]
[Screams]
What in the actual fuck are you trying to pull here?
Crane is done with you.
I saw what he did downtown.
I'd rather be in here when the next bomb goes off.
What the fuck makes you think he'll take you back?
[Scoffs]
Pretty sure he's getting tired of dealing with the second string.
- Dr. Crane? - [Crane] Yes?
Red hood is here.
Bring him down.
Maybe it's important that he be here for the end.
Then, when it's over, kill him.
Thank you, doctor.
Take him down.
I'm gonna go outside, see if we have any other visitors here.
[Glass squeaks]
[Alarm beeping]
[All grunting]
[Officer] Don't shoot! Please!
[Alarm continues beeping]
- I'm in. - [Dick] Good.
Head down the hall and shut off the alarm.
[Automated voice] Disarmed.
[Screams echoing]
[Grunting]
Rach. Rachel, are you okay?
[Sighs] I don't see it.
Look down the left leg of the nightstand.
- Left. - [Dick] There's a button on the back.
[Beeps]
Got it.
Hey. Hey, dick sent me, okay? I'm on your side.
See?
Thanks.
Set up the router. I got the hall.
Okay, dick, I'm here. What do I do?
[Dick] Okay. I need you to connect the router to the Wayne manor mainframe.
Slide the security panel cover straight up.
It should come right off.
Should have told me about Jason.
Would you have gone inside if I had?
You still should have told me.
Okay, I got it.
Hold on. You're not done yet.
- [Gunshots over comms] - Gar.
I'm goin' in.
Tell gar to cut the red wire and hook it up to the router.
The red wire? You never cut the red wire.
Cut the red wire.
Gar, it's me. Dick left.
- He said, "cut the red wire." - [Gar] What?
No. You never cut the red wire.
I know, but that's what he said.
[Exhales]
- [Device beeps] - [Chuckles]
- What's happening? - We're in.
Oh, shit.
What?
There's a security question.
"What is the name of the 'one who got away'?"
Joker
riddler.
Tim, I've got one more try at this, or I'm locked out.
- Try selina Kyle. - [Gar] Who's that?
Trust me. S-e-I-i-n-a.
[Automated voice] Welcome.
Who's selina Kyle?
[Alarm beeping]
[Automated voice] Five gcpd vitals offline.
Location, west hallway.
You're on, boys.
[Vee] Can you do it?
Not with you fucking staring at me like that.
Right.
Come on.
[Officer] Stay clear.
[Grunting]
[Gun cocks]
Barbara Gordon's not here to save your ass this time.
- [Grunts] - [Groans]
[Fihuds]
I'll tell her you said hi.
[Whooshing]
[Suspenseful music playing]
[Dramatic music playing]
Fuck it. Fuck it. No more countdowns.
Inside. Let's go.
This is a titan's job.
He knows I turned on him and that's enough for me.
You guys finish it.
You sure?
And tell the others I'm sorry. For everything.
Thank you, Jason.
I don't know what you're talkin' about. I was never here.
[Clock cranking]
[Tim panting]
[Softly] Uh...
[Footsteps approaching]
[Starfire] Okay, we have one chance at this.
[Starfire grunts]
[Whooshing]
[Dramatic music playing]
[Thunder rumbling]
[Inhales deeply]
[Blowing]
[Electricity crackling]
Oh, no. I knew we forgot about something.
[Thunder rumbling]
What?
The Lazarus pit isn't gonna do much good if we burn the city.
[Wonder girl] I'm on it.
Wait a second. No. You're gonna get yourself killed. Again.
You know what they say about lightning.
[Electricity crackling]
[Grunts]
[Dramatic music playing]
[Electricity crackling]
Password... eight-eight... enter.
And my only wish is that Bruce Wayne could be here to see this.
- But all the same. Good night. - [Keyboard beeping]
All right, little Gotham, down you fucking go!
[Automated voice] Ten seconds to detonation.
- [Chuckles] - Nine...
[Vee] Are we in?
[Barbara sighs] I'm not sure yet.
- [Automated voice] Three, two, one. - [Beeping]
[Batcomputer chimes]
[Presses button]
- [Presses button rapidly] - [Crane] What's going on?
Why isn't it working?
Fuck.
Dear mother! Something's not right.
[Automated voice] Command override denied. Remote access engaged.
No, no, no.
I asked Barbara to set up a duplicate screen.
[Scoffs]
You didn't detonate anything.
What's the matter? All your clever hopes and dreams expire?
[Scoffs]
[Chuckles softly]
Tim, you always wanted to see the batcave.
Well, here it is. What do you think?
I think it's a little crowded.
I agree.
Why don't you do the honors?
Who are you supposed to be, huh?
My name is Tim Drake.
You tried to kill my family.
You failed.
- [Tim grunts] - [Crane groans]
[Breathing heavily] That's for Gotham, bitch.
[Exhales sharply]
Barbara, tell me something good.
[Automated voice] Playing "tell me something good"...
- No! - By Rufus and chaka Khan.
["Tell me something good" playing on speakers]
That works.
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
Tell me something good
[chuckles]
Tell me that you love me, yeah...
It's raining.
Tell me something good
[chuckles]
Purple rain.
[Grunts]
[Uplifting music playing]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Grunting softly]
[Man laughing]
[Baby crying]
[Chucang]
[Indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Horn honking]
Artie?
[Muffled] I was driving around looking for you guys, but I figured...
[Normally] Oh. Thanks.
God, these things are very stuffy. [Chuckles]
I came as soon as I got your call.
It's a brilliant plan.
What are you doing here?
I am here to make this day amazing.
What if I told you that there was a way to make your dreams come true?
Who is this dude?
You're Donna Troy.
And you're raven.
Oh, my god! This is...
Uh... do you guys mind if I get a selfie?
Yeah. Yeah. I told you this day was gonna be amazing.
Ready?
[Heroic music playing]
[Solemn music playing]
[Bruce] Slow down.
[Imperceptible]
Not exactly the "welcome home" I had planned for you.
I'm lucky to have a home at all.
A lot of people had it much worse.
[Dick] Do me a favor.
Next time you decide to leave town,
[Bruce chuckles]
You did what I asked you to do.
You saved Gotham city.
[Dick chuckles]
I had help.
The titans?
And Barbara.
You succeeded where I failed.
I failed too, Bruce.
But I got a second chance.
[Sighs]
[Footsteps approaching]
Coming here wasn't my idea.
Can you forgive me?
But you can't forgive me.
Was a time when that would've been true, Jason, but...
[Sighs] We've all crossed lines.
Starting with me.
I did things I can't come back from.
Do you wanna come back?
Here?
That life is over.
What life is next?
I don't know.
The fear that you felt,
I refused to see it
because it's something that you and I share.
It held sway over us.
But fear is a bad mentor.
I wish I'd had the strength to help you face yours.
When you killed the joker,
did you do that for me?
Yes. I did.
Thank you.
[Somber music playing]
[Sighs]
Goodbye, son.
[Sighs] This is the last place on earth I want to be right now.
I promise it'll be worth it.
'Kay, everyone, ready?
- [Switch clicks] - [Machine beeps]
Ta-da! [Chuckles]
I don't understand.
How were you able to do this?
Well, uh, your friend here has a hell of a memory.
It's like a computer.
So there's still a chance?
Won't even take long to build.
My 3D printer can do the little things
and there's your preferred online retail provider.
It was the least I could do.
What I did was pretty selfish.
If you really wanna go back to tamaran, I have no right to stop you.
Thank you.
[Intense electronic music playing]
[Indistinct chatter]
Hi, commissioner Gordon called me.
Said someone named vee was looking to see me?
I did. Margarita vee.
I've had my eye on you for quite a while now.
[Smacks lips]
- Thank you? - [Both chuckle]
[Vee] Remember when you and starfire brought down shimmer?
That file ended up on my desk, closed case.
We could always use more of those.
[Chuckles]
- You're with a.R.G.U.S. - Uh-huh. And you're dead.
Well, according to our database.
So you can imagine my surprise
when you showed up in Gotham alive and kicking.
- I'm full of surprises. [Chuckles] - Hmm.
What're your plans for your second life?
Spend less time in mysterious conversations. [Chuckles]
I'll remember that.
Oh, no. See, this one's got a chip in it.
You hold it up to your phone and it dials for you. Pretty cool.
- Not my idea. - [Chuckles]
You should give me a call.
Thought you'd have a day or two off
before jumping right back into rebuilding the police force.
- [Scoffs] What police force? - [Chuckles]
Good point.
So now what?
Since a.R.G.U.S. Is already on the scene...
- Why not make the most of it? - Why not?
Have 'em stick around, help us build back better than ever.
- I like it. - Oh.
And the a.R.G.U.S. Satellite is working to bring oracle back online.
If it can, I'm the only one who can handle him.
- What if he doesn't forgive you for... - Destroying him?
[Chuckling] Yeah.
Well, what's a partnership without a little conflict?
True.
[Barbara chuckles]
Uh, speaking of...
Do I need to worry about red hood?
[Sighs]
No. He's leaving Gotham.
How are the titans taking it?
Very differently.
Gar always saw the person behind the hood.
And he knows how far Jason went to helping us out in the end.
The others... we'll see.
Hmm. And you?
We made our peace.
Good.
So you're headin' out?
You could always come with.
You could always stay.
[Smacks lips]
Listen, Barb, I, um, wanted to say...
It's okay. I'll see you next time.
[Chuckles]
See you next time.
Hey, dick?
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
[Solemn music playing]
You asked her to go to San Francisco with you.
- And she asked me to stay here. - Hmm.
And yet, here you are, walking off alone. Again.
[Smacks lips] I'm never alone when you're around.
- We'll see you in San Francisco? - Probably not.
No, I think I'm headed to Paris to see dawn.
I've got a message from Hank I need to deliver.
After that?
Never know. There's always more bad guys than good.
Maybe I can figure a way to even out the odds a little.
- Congrats, by the way. - For what?
Finding nightwing.
Starting to.
- All I had to do to find him was die. - [Both chuckle]
You know, I will say this.
The one thing about dying and coming back,
it sure sets your priorities straight.
Wanna come for a drive?
Come on.
["Just like heaven" playing]
[Kory] He said ten o'clock.
- He did say 10:00, right? - He said 10:00.
He'll get here.
Eventually. He always does.
- [Horn honking] - [Vehicle approaching]
Hey, did someone order a bus?
[93595]
[Horn blaring]
The one that makes me laugh, she said
and threw her arms around my neck
show me how you do it
and I promise you, I promise...
[Chuckles]
Hey, dick, uh, what is that?
That's an rv.
I figured it'd be way more fun than taking Bruce's jet.
Why would that be more fun?
Road trip.
'Cause who would wanna fly in the batjet?
Exactly.
[Brakes screech]
[Car door opens]
Before you go, I wanted to thank you.
I'm really glad things turned out the way they did.
Maybe it's a new start for us.
You know those kind of sisters who are also best friends?
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, we're nothing like that. [Chuckles]
[Chuckles] Yeah.
- But at least now... - We don't wanna kill each other.
We don't.
That's a start.
Maybe one day I'll make it back to tamaran.
I'd like that.
People there are tough.
They don't tend to forgive and forget easily.
I'll be there if you need me.
I know.
But I also know that I'm not alone.
Thank you.
- Take care of these humans. - [Kory chuckles]
And I have some news.
I've spoken to Artie kind.
He's looking into something he calls a "nitrogen filter respiratory device."
So I could breathe on tamaran?
Perhaps one day you could visit me too.
[Solemn electronic music playing]
[Mouthing]
I got a great idea.
Let's get the hell out of Gotham.
[Donna] Aw. I'll see you too.
[Exhales heavily]
[Chuckles softly, clicks tongue]
For what it's worth, I think you would've made a pretty decent Robin.
You comin'?
Are you serious?
The question is, are you?
You got some nice moves, but you need proper training.
If you're up for it.
[Chuckles]
All right. Destination, San Francisco. Forty-four hours.
- Forty-four hours? - Yeah, I know.
[Sighs] Okay. Fine. But I get to dj.
But first, one more stop.
[Smacks lips] Okay.
[Metallic creaking]
[Grave instrumental music playing]
Well-y-well-y-well.
[Scoffs]
We've come full circle, haven't we?
[Crane chuckles]
Have you come for some more crime-solving advice?
[Chuckles]
You know I'm off that payroll now.
Although, I bet you and I can work out some sort of a private arrangement.
