00:00:16.997 --> 00:00:18.081 align:center
<i>Jump.</i>

00:01:44.710 --> 00:01:46.002 align:center
Hello.

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.467 align:center
I'm here for the interview.

00:01:53.844 --> 00:01:56.179 align:center
- Please have a seat inside.
- Yeah

00:02:01.268 --> 00:02:02.269 align:center
I'll be back

00:02:38.138 --> 00:02:39.389 align:center
You haven't moved.

00:02:40.432 --> 00:02:41.767 align:center
I was told to wait.

00:02:46.813 --> 00:02:48.356 align:center
Did you stay here all night?

00:02:49.107 --> 00:02:50.400 align:center
You said, "Have a seat."

00:03:00.327 --> 00:03:01.787 align:center
Do you know who I am?

00:03:03.330 --> 00:03:04.790 align:center
I have a pretty good idea.

00:03:05.332 --> 00:03:06.373 align:center
You're a Guardian.

00:03:06.374 --> 00:03:08.000 align:center
And what have you been told about us?

00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:11.087 align:center
You are the ruling body of the cosmos,

00:03:11.755 --> 00:03:12.922 align:center
founder of the Lanterns.

00:03:12.923 --> 00:03:14.173 align:center
There were 12 of you.

00:03:14.174 --> 00:03:15.759 align:center
One of you recently died.

00:03:16.343 --> 00:03:17.426 align:center
My condolences.

00:03:17.427 --> 00:03:18.553 align:center
Thank you.

00:03:19.846 --> 00:03:22.224 align:center
Also, you're all blue.

00:03:24.226 --> 00:03:27.270 align:center
We believe this interview
will be more pleasurable...

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:30.689 align:center
if I am in human form.

00:03:30.690 --> 00:03:32.692 align:center
- May I ask you a question?
- Please.

00:03:32.818 --> 00:03:35.320 align:center
Green Lanterns are chosen by rings.

00:03:36.446 --> 00:03:39.281 align:center
So why, suddenly, are you
interviewing people for the job?

00:03:39.282 --> 00:03:41.159 align:center
Because of your condolences.

00:03:47.290 --> 00:03:48.875 align:center
Am I supposed to say something?

00:03:49.376 --> 00:03:52.295 align:center
This is when most candidates
ask, "Why me?"

00:03:53.004 --> 00:03:54.089 align:center
Oh.

00:03:55.090 --> 00:03:56.800 align:center
No. I know exactly why me.

00:04:01.847 --> 00:04:03.098 align:center
Mama!

00:04:06.977 --> 00:04:08.103 align:center
Mama!

00:04:09.354 --> 00:04:10.981 align:center
I'm coming, Marcus.

00:04:26.580 --> 00:04:28.665 align:center
<i>Are you afraid?</i>

00:04:29.332 --> 00:04:30.417 align:center
Yes!

00:04:31.209 --> 00:04:32.335 align:center
Yes!

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:40.802 align:center
What happened?

00:04:45.098 --> 00:04:46.141 align:center
Oh my God.

00:05:02.490 --> 00:05:04.950 align:center
<i>The mysterious hero
known only as Green Lantern</i>

00:05:04.951 --> 00:05:08.162 align:center
<i>has again saved a major city
from near catastrophe.</i>

00:05:08.163 --> 00:05:10.331 align:center
<i>Still no information exists
about his identity,</i>

00:05:10.332 --> 00:05:12.458 align:center
<i>but today, he has offered this statement.</i>

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.711 align:center
<i>Quoting now,
"Though you can't see my face,</i>

00:05:15.712 --> 00:05:19.089 align:center
<i>know that my commitment to fighting evil
will never waver."</i>

00:05:19.090 --> 00:05:22.385 align:center
<i>"The night I received this ring,
I was asked only one question,</i>

00:05:22.886 --> 00:05:24.178 align:center
<i>if I was afraid."</i>

00:05:24.179 --> 00:05:27.057 align:center
<i>"I remain as steadfast now as I was then."</i>

00:05:27.557 --> 00:05:29.100 align:center
<i>"I am fearless."</i>

00:05:33.313 --> 00:05:34.898 align:center
Are you out of your mind?

00:05:36.107 --> 00:05:38.234 align:center
How the fuck was I not supposed
to be scared?

00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.027 align:center
Got lifted out of my bed.

00:05:40.028 --> 00:05:42.905 align:center
- I was in a... a bubble.
- Give me the gun, Johnny.

00:05:42.906 --> 00:05:44.157 align:center
The light was green.

00:05:45.075 --> 00:05:46.117 align:center
It was a test

00:05:46.952 --> 00:05:49.037 align:center
to be this Lantern thing,
and they wanted me.

00:05:49.704 --> 00:05:51.497 align:center
We have been through this.
It was a nightmare.

00:05:51.498 --> 00:05:53.874 align:center
- There was no bubble!
- There was. He just said it.

00:05:53.875 --> 00:05:55.709 align:center
Give me the pistol, Johnny.

00:05:55.710 --> 00:05:57.628 align:center
They asked him the same thing
they asked me.

00:05:57.629 --> 00:05:59.046 align:center
You think that's a coincidence?

00:05:59.047 --> 00:06:01.299 align:center
- You're scaring me.
- "Are you afraid?"

00:06:04.135 --> 00:06:05.177 align:center
Why you don't believe me?

00:06:05.178 --> 00:06:06.972 align:center
Because it's unbelievable!

00:06:07.472 --> 00:06:09.264 align:center
But you better believe
if you don't hand me that gun,

00:06:09.265 --> 00:06:11.059 align:center
I will send you to your maker!

00:06:21.403 --> 00:06:23.488 align:center
I wasn't gonna hurt nobody, Bernie.

00:06:26.950 --> 00:06:30.828 align:center
This thing has got your mind gone,
and we can't do this anymore.

00:06:30.829 --> 00:06:33.498 align:center
And when we come home from school,
you better be gone!

00:06:54.978 --> 00:06:57.480 align:center
Is Sergeant Stewart available?

00:06:59.190 --> 00:07:00.316 align:center
He's not.

00:07:01.359 --> 00:07:02.443 align:center
Can I help you?

00:07:02.444 --> 00:07:05.363 align:center
- At what hour do you expect him?
- I'm not sure.

00:07:07.282 --> 00:07:08.574 align:center
Who are you?

00:07:08.575 --> 00:07:10.577 align:center
Are you Sergeant Stewart's wife?

00:07:11.453 --> 00:07:12.454 align:center
Bernadette.

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:16.206 align:center
Please tell your husband the Guardians
send their deepest regrets

00:07:16.207 --> 00:07:21.463 align:center
for any lingering trauma
caused by our latest communication.

00:07:22.172 --> 00:07:24.673 align:center
We would like to make compensation

00:07:24.674 --> 00:07:28.428 align:center
for any continued distress
that may have resulted.

00:07:31.723 --> 00:07:33.641 align:center
I don't understand, I...

00:07:36.394 --> 00:07:39.438 align:center
We have reports
that many of the candidates

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.359 align:center
considered for the role of Green Lantern
have been experiencing...

00:07:45.862 --> 00:07:47.280 align:center
emotional turmoil.

00:07:49.532 --> 00:07:51.658 align:center
Are you telling me you're an alien?

00:07:51.659 --> 00:07:55.579 align:center
I am an intergalactic species
non-native to your Earth, yes.

00:07:55.580 --> 00:07:56.748 align:center
Prove it.

00:07:57.916 --> 00:07:59.166 align:center
Excuse me?

00:07:59.167 --> 00:08:02.879 align:center
You just look like some
unfortunate white lady to me.

00:08:03.671 --> 00:08:04.756 align:center
Prove it.

00:08:08.426 --> 00:08:10.553 align:center
I've found my natural form

00:08:11.262 --> 00:08:13.098 align:center
to be upsetting to humans.

00:08:14.891 --> 00:08:16.059 align:center
I don't get upset.

00:08:17.185 --> 00:08:18.394 align:center
Show me.

00:08:51.136 --> 00:08:52.554 align:center
You drink coffee?

00:08:55.348 --> 00:08:58.810 align:center
Sorry for the mess.
My kids just had a test.

00:09:00.103 --> 00:09:01.729 align:center
You have more children than this?

00:09:02.397 --> 00:09:05.525 align:center
I do. I meant my students.
I'm a teacher.

00:09:06.693 --> 00:09:09.445 align:center
So, you floated my husband
out of our bed?

00:09:10.071 --> 00:09:12.448 align:center
We have never had
a Green Lantern from Earth.

00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:18.830 align:center
We realize now that
the ring's selection process is unusual

00:09:19.956 --> 00:09:20.957 align:center
for your species.

00:09:21.457 --> 00:09:23.334 align:center
Do you all intend on fixing this?

00:09:24.502 --> 00:09:28.005 align:center
Everyone he talks to thinks
Johnny's lost his mind.

00:09:28.006 --> 00:09:30.174 align:center
He's nearly drinking himself
to death every night.

00:09:30.175 --> 00:09:32.134 align:center
My family is falling apart.

00:09:32.135 --> 00:09:35.972 align:center
The system is imperfect.
This is the best I can do.

00:09:37.807 --> 00:09:40.226 align:center
Do you know the differences
in race on Earth?

00:09:41.186 --> 00:09:44.104 align:center
Do you understand how unfair it is

00:09:44.105 --> 00:09:46.941 align:center
to ask a Black man in America
if he's afraid?

00:09:48.610 --> 00:09:49.986 align:center
By "Black," you mean...

00:09:51.613 --> 00:09:53.155 align:center
brown skin?

00:09:53.156 --> 00:09:55.782 align:center
We are terrified daily of persecution

00:09:55.783 --> 00:09:59.620 align:center
and still show up, sometimes better,
than everyone around us.

00:09:59.621 --> 00:10:00.788 align:center
Did you know that?

00:10:02.290 --> 00:10:03.374 align:center
I did not.

00:10:05.752 --> 00:10:07.795 align:center
Even in space, y'all don't consider us.

00:10:14.636 --> 00:10:17.847 align:center
Humans have relatively short lifespans.

00:10:21.726 --> 00:10:24.270 align:center
Perhaps this could present opportunities.

00:10:25.313 --> 00:10:28.482 align:center
Whatever the ring saw in your husband
is in his genetic makeup.

00:10:28.483 --> 00:10:31.110 align:center
You are a very formidable woman.

00:10:32.445 --> 00:10:35.448 align:center
Your offspring could one day...

00:10:36.991 --> 00:10:38.576 align:center
be an excellent candidate.

00:10:40.745 --> 00:10:44.707 align:center
That's a long time from now.
What if he's scared too?

00:10:45.208 --> 00:10:46.417 align:center
Then he'd fail.

00:10:49.545 --> 00:10:51.506 align:center
And if I raise him to be fearless?

00:10:53.049 --> 00:10:55.301 align:center
That would certainly warrant
our attention...

00:10:57.470 --> 00:10:58.596 align:center
when the time came.

00:10:59.806 --> 00:11:01.391 align:center
And when the time comes,

00:11:03.309 --> 00:11:05.353 align:center
how do I know he'll get a fair shot?

00:11:05.895 --> 00:11:07.438 align:center
You have my word.

00:11:19.784 --> 00:11:22.577 align:center
Were you the one
that came to visit my mom?

00:11:22.578 --> 00:11:23.662 align:center
Yes.

00:11:23.663 --> 00:11:25.998 align:center
You know, the police came to visit her

00:11:25.999 --> 00:11:28.334 align:center
when she tried to cash that diamond.

00:11:29.210 --> 00:11:30.502 align:center
They didn't believe it was hers.

00:11:30.503 --> 00:11:33.131 align:center
I am sorry she had to go through that.

00:11:34.716 --> 00:11:35.925 align:center
Yeah, I'll pass that along.

00:11:36.592 --> 00:11:39.052 align:center
Your father was a Marine.
Is that why you became one too?

00:11:39.053 --> 00:11:42.514 align:center
Yes, ma'am. And it's part of the path.

00:11:42.515 --> 00:11:43.724 align:center
The path?

00:11:43.725 --> 00:11:47.770 align:center
I became a Marine so I could get here,
across the table from you.

00:11:49.147 --> 00:11:51.441 align:center
Well, let's start there, John Stewart.

00:11:52.942 --> 00:11:55.986 align:center
Or, Sergeant Major John Stewart.

00:11:55.987 --> 00:11:59.324 align:center
- Is that right?
- Formerly Sergeant Major.

00:12:13.796 --> 00:12:15.839 align:center
You don't have other clothes in your car?

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.842 align:center
- Gym bag?
- No, sir.

00:12:19.177 --> 00:12:21.846 align:center
Well, I ordered.
I got you a steak and a beer.

00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:25.433 align:center
- Thank you.
- Weren't supposed to be dressed.

00:12:26.142 --> 00:12:28.560 align:center
I was told this was about
an issue of national security.

00:12:28.561 --> 00:12:31.189 align:center
The whole point of meeting
at an Outback is to be discreet.

00:12:35.234 --> 00:12:37.152 align:center
Not a lot of snipers like you left.

00:12:37.153 --> 00:12:38.571 align:center
Your kill record's impeccable.

00:12:39.530 --> 00:12:41.074 align:center
- You're patient.
- Is this my target?

00:12:42.575 --> 00:12:44.493 align:center
Code name is Gray Wolf.

00:12:44.494 --> 00:12:46.203 align:center
- He launders money.
- I don't care about the man.

00:12:46.204 --> 00:12:49.539 align:center
- Tell me about the mission.
- He's impossible to track.

00:12:49.540 --> 00:12:51.917 align:center
There's only one place
we've ever known him to return.

00:12:51.918 --> 00:12:54.753 align:center
A retreat we believe he owns
in the Kamchatka Peninsula.

00:12:54.754 --> 00:12:57.340 align:center
We have no idea how often
he goes, how long he stays.

00:12:57.882 --> 00:13:01.427 align:center
You want me to wait on him,
stay there until he shows up.

00:13:01.969 --> 00:13:04.180 align:center
It could take weeks,
maybe a couple months.

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:06.015 align:center
And how many have been before me?

00:13:07.642 --> 00:13:09.142 align:center
What makes you think you're not the first?

00:13:09.143 --> 00:13:11.978 align:center
Well, there's intel
on an otherwise remote mountain range,

00:13:11.979 --> 00:13:14.524 align:center
a rudimentary map of the retreat,
so someone's been there.

00:13:15.900 --> 00:13:16.984 align:center
Three.

00:13:17.652 --> 00:13:19.904 align:center
We lost contact
with the last team months ago.

00:13:20.696 --> 00:13:22.864 align:center
But if you agree to the mission,
we'll do things differently.

00:13:22.865 --> 00:13:24.825 align:center
You'll have a panic button
if you need extraction.

00:13:24.826 --> 00:13:28.204 align:center
I don't want that. I don't do panic, sir.

00:13:31.499 --> 00:13:33.208 align:center
Best to get your affairs
in order before you leave.

00:13:33.209 --> 00:13:35.044 align:center
- Yeah.
- How's your dad?

00:13:36.212 --> 00:13:37.213 align:center
Sir?

00:13:37.797 --> 00:13:39.966 align:center
We were stationed together after basic.

00:13:41.175 --> 00:13:42.802 align:center
I heard he had some struggles.

00:13:45.930 --> 00:13:48.307 align:center
Much better, sir. Thank you.

00:14:05.867 --> 00:14:07.368 align:center
I didn't hear you come in.

00:14:08.119 --> 00:14:09.620 align:center
Couch getting too comfortable?

00:14:10.246 --> 00:14:12.123 align:center
It's better than a motel.

00:14:15.209 --> 00:14:16.836 align:center
We need to fix this, Johnny.

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:19.005 align:center
I know.

00:14:19.505 --> 00:14:21.256 align:center
You were never gonna wear that ring.

00:14:21.257 --> 00:14:23.675 align:center
- I know you don't believe me.
- I do now.

00:14:23.676 --> 00:14:27.138 align:center
And I'm sorry that everybody's
been treating you like you're crazy.

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.435 align:center
- I'm sorry I have.
- Why now? What changed?

00:14:47.617 --> 00:14:50.536 align:center
One of the Green Lantern's
bosses came by the other day.

00:14:51.704 --> 00:14:53.915 align:center
They apologized for not picking you.

00:15:02.757 --> 00:15:03.883 align:center
What did they say?

00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:07.720 align:center
Some bullshit about
the imperfection of the system.

00:15:10.806 --> 00:15:12.225 align:center
But it could be John.

00:15:14.227 --> 00:15:15.269 align:center
Our baby?

00:15:16.562 --> 00:15:17.563 align:center
That's right.

00:15:19.315 --> 00:15:22.401 align:center
- I don't understand.
- Why did you become a Marine?

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:26.239 align:center
Why do I get up and teach?

00:15:27.782 --> 00:15:30.116 align:center
To be better than where we came from,

00:15:30.117 --> 00:15:32.870 align:center
to prove to God-knows-who
that we are worth a damn.

00:15:33.871 --> 00:15:35.830 align:center
And we didn't break every stereotype

00:15:35.831 --> 00:15:38.792 align:center
and face down every fear
for you to be penalized

00:15:38.793 --> 00:15:41.294 align:center
because you're scared to leave
the people that you love.

00:15:41.295 --> 00:15:43.589 align:center
They don't see us, Bernie,
and you know that.

00:15:45.007 --> 00:15:46.299 align:center
Down here or up there.

00:15:46.300 --> 00:15:49.554 align:center
I said the same thing,
but we can't accept that.

00:15:50.513 --> 00:15:52.013 align:center
We can't raise three boys

00:15:52.014 --> 00:15:53.848 align:center
and believe that no matter
how good they are,

00:15:53.849 --> 00:15:54.976 align:center
they get looked over.

00:15:55.560 --> 00:15:57.060 align:center
Why not Aaron or Marcus?

00:15:57.061 --> 00:15:58.437 align:center
No, they're too old.

00:15:59.522 --> 00:16:00.898 align:center
They already know fear.

00:16:03.943 --> 00:16:06.153 align:center
Plus, I think the Guardian liked John.

00:16:07.488 --> 00:16:08.573 align:center
I could tell.

00:16:14.370 --> 00:16:16.330 align:center
How do you make a Green Lantern?

00:16:18.124 --> 00:16:19.166 align:center
I've been reading.

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.045 align:center
We condition him so he's used to fear.

00:16:24.088 --> 00:16:26.131 align:center
Train him to be everything they saw in you

00:16:26.132 --> 00:16:28.426 align:center
and everything
the Lantern they picked isn't.

00:16:31.512 --> 00:16:32.597 align:center
I don't know.

00:16:36.142 --> 00:16:37.851 align:center
The night that they rejected you

00:16:37.852 --> 00:16:40.730 align:center
was the beginning
of everything falling apart.

00:16:43.274 --> 00:16:45.610 align:center
This is a chance for us
to put it back together.

00:16:54.910 --> 00:16:56.203 align:center
He's gonna hate us.

00:16:57.246 --> 00:16:58.497 align:center
So be it.

00:17:16.474 --> 00:17:19.100 align:center
It's not ideal jumping weather,
but it's the only way they don't see us.

00:17:19.101 --> 00:17:20.602 align:center
Then it's ideal.

00:17:20.603 --> 00:17:22.479 align:center
When the mission is complete,
hit this button.

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.689 align:center
If anything goes wrong
and you need extraction...

00:17:24.690 --> 00:17:26.484 align:center
You'll hear from me
when the mission's complete.

00:17:27.318 --> 00:17:28.778 align:center
Good luck. Jump.

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.019 align:center
I was dishonorably discharged.

00:18:45.104 --> 00:18:46.855 align:center
- Elaborate.
- Which part?

00:18:46.856 --> 00:18:48.732 align:center
The dishonorable or the discharge?

00:18:48.733 --> 00:18:50.483 align:center
I am more concerned with disobedience.

00:18:50.484 --> 00:18:51.569 align:center
No disobedience.

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.488 align:center
I had a mission to complete and I failed.

00:18:56.699 --> 00:18:59.284 align:center
You don't present as someone
who relents without cause.

00:18:59.285 --> 00:19:02.704 align:center
Well, if there was a reason or a cause,

00:19:02.705 --> 00:19:04.331 align:center
that would be classified.

00:19:07.168 --> 00:19:09.795 align:center
Much of what I will discuss
will also be classified.

00:19:10.588 --> 00:19:12.548 align:center
You have my word
nothing leaves this room.

00:19:17.094 --> 00:19:19.179 align:center
What do you know about Sinestro?

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:22.474 align:center
Only what I saw on the news.
He went rogue.

00:19:22.475 --> 00:19:25.185 align:center
He killed one of your fellow Guardians.

00:19:25.186 --> 00:19:27.270 align:center
Hal Jordan beat his ass and locked him up.

00:19:27.271 --> 00:19:28.688 align:center
And what do you think of Hal Jordan?

00:19:28.689 --> 00:19:30.315 align:center
- I don't.
- You don't what?

00:19:30.316 --> 00:19:33.110 align:center
- I don't think about him.
- You must think something.

00:19:34.195 --> 00:19:35.987 align:center
He was chosen instead of your father.

00:19:35.988 --> 00:19:38.949 align:center
My dad served this country honorably.

00:19:39.450 --> 00:19:42.327 align:center
He respects anyone
whose job it is to protect people.

00:19:42.328 --> 00:19:43.788 align:center
He taught me to do the same.

00:19:45.956 --> 00:19:47.875 align:center
Sinestro was Jordan's teacher.

00:19:49.585 --> 00:19:51.587 align:center
A father figure.

00:19:53.756 --> 00:19:56.884 align:center
He still harbors deep affection
for his mentor. It's quite...

00:20:00.554 --> 00:20:01.679 align:center
troubling.

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.807 align:center
It's human.

00:20:03.432 --> 00:20:05.726 align:center
We love the people that raise us.

00:20:08.521 --> 00:20:09.855 align:center
Even if they're crazy.

00:20:10.981 --> 00:20:19.573 align:center
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>

00:20:19.990 --> 00:20:25.203 align:center
<i>Happy birthday, dear John</i>

00:20:25.204 --> 00:20:29.917 align:center
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>

00:20:31.585 --> 00:20:33.045 align:center
Make a wish, my boy.

00:20:35.714 --> 00:20:38.175 align:center
We got something for you, baby.
Close your eyes.

00:20:38.801 --> 00:20:40.718 align:center
Why are you closing your eyes, Marcus?

00:20:40.719 --> 00:20:42.137 align:center
I want it be a baseball jersey.

00:20:42.721 --> 00:20:44.640 align:center
- You can't fit your gut in John's shirts.
- Hey.

00:20:46.392 --> 00:20:47.434 align:center
Open it.

00:20:59.154 --> 00:21:01.407 align:center
Wait, I asked for crayons.

00:21:02.241 --> 00:21:05.661 align:center
Your father and I think five is old enough
to know about your destiny.

00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:20.175 align:center
You're gonna be the Green Lantern
when you grow up, son.

00:21:22.678 --> 00:21:24.805 align:center
You probably wondered
why we treat you so different.

00:21:25.681 --> 00:21:27.765 align:center
Sleep in a different room
than your brothers,

00:21:27.766 --> 00:21:29.267 align:center
don't go to school with them.

00:21:29.268 --> 00:21:30.643 align:center
I thought you just liked him better.

00:21:30.644 --> 00:21:31.811 align:center
Hey!

00:21:31.812 --> 00:21:33.355 align:center
Boys, this is serious.

00:21:35.316 --> 00:21:37.901 align:center
When you were a baby, the Guardians,

00:21:37.902 --> 00:21:40.111 align:center
the people that run the whole universe,

00:21:40.112 --> 00:21:44.157 align:center
came to tell us that they want you
to be the next Green Lantern.

00:21:44.158 --> 00:21:45.825 align:center
They said that we had to train you

00:21:45.826 --> 00:21:47.912 align:center
and they would send birds
to watch over us.

00:21:48.412 --> 00:21:49.996 align:center
They report back to the Guardians.

00:21:49.997 --> 00:21:51.832 align:center
That's why you like birds so much, son.

00:21:53.459 --> 00:21:55.960 align:center
Now, I know you like drawing,
and you wanted those crayons,

00:21:55.961 --> 00:21:57.713 align:center
and you can still do that a little.

00:21:58.672 --> 00:22:01.549 align:center
But this year, your real training starts.

00:22:01.550 --> 00:22:02.968 align:center
What do I have to do?

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:06.888 align:center
They want us to make sure
that you're fearless.

00:22:06.889 --> 00:22:09.683 align:center
- You always choose him.
- Hey, Aaron.

00:22:12.353 --> 00:22:13.395 align:center
Hey.

00:22:15.439 --> 00:22:16.899 align:center
You can't worry about him.

00:22:17.775 --> 00:22:20.027 align:center
You can't worry about anybody
but yourself.

00:22:20.986 --> 00:22:24.614 align:center
You don't want the Guardians to think
you don't wanna do it, right?

00:22:24.615 --> 00:22:25.950 align:center
No, ma'am.

00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:29.702 align:center
What's this?

00:22:29.703 --> 00:22:32.039 align:center
Careful, Marcus. Hand it to John.

00:22:36.293 --> 00:22:37.711 align:center
We've given you your target, son.

00:22:38.587 --> 00:22:41.131 align:center
Now you gotta learn to shoot. You ready?

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:44.385 align:center
Is that why you chose to be a sniper?

00:22:44.927 --> 00:22:47.680 align:center
- I'm a good shot.
- That is not what I'm asking.

00:22:49.139 --> 00:22:52.726 align:center
I can hit a target from over a mile away.

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:08.450 align:center
<i>So, you like the distance?</i>

00:23:10.786 --> 00:23:12.037 align:center
<i>Is that a metaphor?</i>

00:23:12.955 --> 00:23:18.168 align:center
<i>You asking me if I'm close to anyone,
or if I'll be distracted on the job?</i>

00:23:19.795 --> 00:23:22.047 align:center
<i>Yes. That is what I'm asking.</i>

00:23:25.300 --> 00:23:28.554 align:center
<i>I like being alone,
and I don't get distracted.</i>

00:23:36.061 --> 00:23:37.146 align:center
<i>And your parents?</i>

00:23:40.274 --> 00:23:42.234 align:center
Do you resent them
for the rigors of your training?

00:23:43.193 --> 00:23:44.444 align:center
Do you have a family?

00:23:44.445 --> 00:23:48.615 align:center
We come into existence alone,
and we die the same.

00:23:49.742 --> 00:23:50.826 align:center
That's sad.

00:23:52.995 --> 00:23:54.038 align:center
Is it?

00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:59.917 align:center
I can't really explain family
to someone who doesn't have one,

00:23:59.918 --> 00:24:03.672 align:center
but rigorous kind of comes
with the territory.

00:24:05.424 --> 00:24:08.135 align:center
Hey, that was good, boy.
That was real good.

00:24:08.677 --> 00:24:10.387 align:center
Go on over there and set up another apple.

00:24:10.929 --> 00:24:13.765 align:center
Aren't you supposed to be out here
finishing this dish?

00:24:13.766 --> 00:24:15.558 align:center
I thought it made more sense to train.

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.143 align:center
You thought?

00:24:17.144 --> 00:24:19.353 align:center
There's nothing to think about.
We have to finish the dish.

00:24:19.354 --> 00:24:22.356 align:center
Diamond money's gone, Bernie.
We still need more parts.

00:24:22.357 --> 00:24:24.442 align:center
And I need to call 'em
and tell 'em how good he's doing.

00:24:24.443 --> 00:24:26.987 align:center
We don't even know who to call,
and they said they'll be watching.

00:24:27.654 --> 00:24:29.155 align:center
I'm not leaving this up to them.

00:24:29.156 --> 00:24:31.450 align:center
Look, Daddy. Like William Tell.

00:24:32.659 --> 00:24:34.078 align:center
Shoot one off me.

00:24:39.124 --> 00:24:40.167 align:center
Do it.

00:24:40.876 --> 00:24:43.378 align:center
- What?
- See if he's afraid. Do it.

00:24:56.475 --> 00:24:57.726 align:center
Fear is contagious.

00:24:59.645 --> 00:25:01.105 align:center
Ask him what they asked you.

00:25:13.117 --> 00:25:14.368 align:center
Are you afraid?

00:25:14.952 --> 00:25:16.078 align:center
No, sir.

00:25:22.376 --> 00:25:23.752 align:center
This is what it takes.

00:25:24.670 --> 00:25:25.963 align:center
For the both of you.

00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:39.059 align:center
It's applesauce. Can I eat some?

00:25:40.602 --> 00:25:42.604 align:center
I think your father
can do better than that.

00:25:44.398 --> 00:25:46.232 align:center
You deserve a cheeseburger, boy.

00:25:46.233 --> 00:25:48.902 align:center
My boy. Come on.

00:25:52.573 --> 00:25:55.534 align:center
<i>And your parents, do you love them?</i>

00:25:56.118 --> 00:26:00.121 align:center
Yes. Of course, I love them.
I owe them everything.

00:26:00.122 --> 00:26:01.915 align:center
- You owe them?
- Yes.

00:26:02.624 --> 00:26:04.877 align:center
And how do you intend to repay them?

00:26:05.377 --> 00:26:07.880 align:center
- By getting this job.
- And what if you don't?

00:26:08.547 --> 00:26:09.590 align:center
I will.

00:26:10.215 --> 00:26:13.343 align:center
- How can you be so sure?
- I was trained to be sure.

00:26:51.590 --> 00:26:53.216 align:center
- You trippin'.
- No, I know I'm right.

00:26:53.217 --> 00:26:54.592 align:center
That's not what it says.

00:26:54.593 --> 00:26:55.718 align:center
- Says.
- Yes, it is.

00:26:55.719 --> 00:26:57.678 align:center
They just can't say the "S" word
on the radio.

00:26:57.679 --> 00:26:59.138 align:center
Are the real words to this song,

00:26:59.139 --> 00:27:01.016 align:center
"You like fish and grits
and all the pimp shit"?

00:27:01.850 --> 00:27:04.393 align:center
And how would he know?
He ain't even Black.

00:27:04.394 --> 00:27:06.354 align:center
That nigga listen to piano music.

00:27:06.355 --> 00:27:08.522 align:center
- You know Mama makes him do that.
- Be quiet.

00:27:08.523 --> 00:27:10.066 align:center
You know Mama makes him do that.

00:27:10.067 --> 00:27:12.277 align:center
But he be listening through the wall.
I hear him.

00:27:13.904 --> 00:27:15.655 align:center
Yeah. That's the real words.

00:27:15.656 --> 00:27:17.198 align:center
- I told you!
- You just saying that

00:27:17.199 --> 00:27:20.785 align:center
- so Aaron will like you.
- Please. You know all the words?

00:27:20.786 --> 00:27:22.079 align:center
Do it.

00:27:24.957 --> 00:27:26.916 align:center
You gonna be afraid of them
your whole life?

00:27:26.917 --> 00:27:29.920 align:center
They tryna make you lame.

00:27:32.422 --> 00:27:34.840 align:center
<i>I said throw your hands in the air</i>

00:27:34.841 --> 00:27:37.176 align:center
<i>And wave 'em like you just don't care</i>

00:27:37.177 --> 00:27:39.887 align:center
<i>And if you like fish and grits
And all that pimp shit</i>

00:27:39.888 --> 00:27:41.347 align:center
<i>Everybody, let me hear you say</i>

00:27:41.348 --> 00:27:43.099 align:center
"Oh-yea-er"?

00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:45.142 align:center
- "Ay-er!"
- "Oh-yea-er."

00:27:45.143 --> 00:27:47.104 align:center
He talks like a white boy named Henry.

00:27:52.693 --> 00:27:55.529 align:center
- John, get out.
- But, Mama, we asked him to rap.

00:27:56.154 --> 00:27:58.990 align:center
This ain't about no song.
This is training.

00:27:58.991 --> 00:28:01.242 align:center
He can't survive out there.
He's never in places like this--

00:28:01.243 --> 00:28:03.453 align:center
If we wanted your input,
we'd have asked for it.

00:28:05.205 --> 00:28:06.623 align:center
Get out the car, son.

00:28:08.166 --> 00:28:09.293 align:center
Sorry.

00:28:51.043 --> 00:28:52.960 align:center
- All right there, son?
- What's up, little man?

00:28:52.961 --> 00:28:55.505 align:center
<i>I am curious why you didn't hit
your panic button.</i>

00:28:56.965 --> 00:28:58.466 align:center
I had a mission to complete.

00:28:58.467 --> 00:29:00.051 align:center
Perhaps you were stubborn.

00:29:00.052 --> 00:29:02.888 align:center
I had a mission to complete.

00:29:05.932 --> 00:29:08.685 align:center
Your training must have resulted
in great loneliness.

00:29:10.062 --> 00:29:13.564 align:center
As humans require high levels
of social connection,

00:29:13.565 --> 00:29:17.736 align:center
that isolation appears to be
in direct opposition to your programming.

00:29:19.488 --> 00:29:22.949 align:center
Humans aren't programmed, we're raised.

00:29:24.242 --> 00:29:26.078 align:center
I do not understand the distinction.

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:29.247 align:center
Well, there is one.

00:29:39.883 --> 00:29:40.926 align:center
Where you going?

00:29:41.426 --> 00:29:44.095 align:center
I'm gonna... You can't do that.

00:29:44.096 --> 00:29:46.098 align:center
- Wait! No. Go, go.
- No, no, no!

00:29:47.974 --> 00:29:49.017 align:center
Oh! Yeah.

00:29:54.564 --> 00:29:55.816 align:center
John.

00:29:58.819 --> 00:30:00.362 align:center
I saved you a pork chop.

00:30:02.447 --> 00:30:03.949 align:center
Your plate's in the microwave.

00:30:25.512 --> 00:30:27.054 align:center
<i>Should you become Green Lantern,</i>

00:30:27.055 --> 00:30:29.349 align:center
<i>you'll become more isolated
from your family.</i>

00:30:30.934 --> 00:30:31.935 align:center
Not a problem.

00:30:32.561 --> 00:30:33.603 align:center
They will not...

00:30:35.063 --> 00:30:36.356 align:center
- miss you?
- No.

00:30:37.357 --> 00:30:40.277 align:center
You will not miss them?

00:30:41.987 --> 00:30:44.948 align:center
We all lived in the same house
for 18 years.

00:30:45.949 --> 00:30:47.284 align:center
I grew up missing them.

00:30:48.827 --> 00:30:49.870 align:center
Mama!

00:30:50.745 --> 00:30:53.539 align:center
Can I go outside with Marcus and Aaron?
I did my work.

00:30:53.540 --> 00:30:55.166 align:center
He can already shoot
over a quarter mile...

00:30:55.167 --> 00:30:56.375 align:center
- Mama?
- ...at ten years old.

00:30:56.376 --> 00:30:59.420 align:center
He demonstrates fearlessness
every day. He--

00:30:59.421 --> 00:31:00.546 align:center
Are you there?

00:31:00.547 --> 00:31:03.175 align:center
Just say something.
You gave your word!

00:31:04.217 --> 00:31:05.677 align:center
Who are you talking to?

00:31:07.637 --> 00:31:10.724 align:center
Was that the Guardians?
Why weren't they talking back?

00:31:11.475 --> 00:31:14.936 align:center
Maybe they're not talking
because they're not seeing results.

00:31:15.604 --> 00:31:17.688 align:center
- You're still scared.
- I'm not scared of nothing.

00:31:17.689 --> 00:31:19.441 align:center
The birds should be telling them that.

00:31:19.983 --> 00:31:23.153 align:center
- Well, they're not.
- Then the birds are liars.

00:31:24.154 --> 00:31:25.655 align:center
Prove it.

00:31:32.162 --> 00:31:34.915 align:center
That's good, John. That's real good.

00:31:35.832 --> 00:31:37.459 align:center
Let's go get you a cheeseburger.

00:31:38.210 --> 00:31:40.294 align:center
- He's not done.
- Say what?

00:31:40.295 --> 00:31:41.463 align:center
Let John shoot.

00:31:44.216 --> 00:31:45.342 align:center
Shoot what?

00:31:46.384 --> 00:31:47.552 align:center
The apple off you.

00:31:49.554 --> 00:31:50.889 align:center
He said he's not scared.

00:31:52.724 --> 00:31:53.767 align:center
Let's see.

00:31:57.479 --> 00:31:59.022 align:center
Can you do that, son?

00:32:14.454 --> 00:32:16.080 align:center
Honey, shouldn't we work up to this?

00:32:16.081 --> 00:32:18.124 align:center
John could shoot a moth out the sky.

00:32:20.585 --> 00:32:22.087 align:center
Yeah.

00:33:12.262 --> 00:33:14.180 align:center
Guess the birds aren't liars after all.

00:33:33.033 --> 00:33:34.326 align:center
You don't have to do that.

00:33:36.036 --> 00:33:37.037 align:center
Let me see.

00:33:45.253 --> 00:33:47.005 align:center
You are gifted, son.

00:33:48.173 --> 00:33:51.342 align:center
I know if it were up to you,
you'd do a whole lot more drawing.

00:33:51.343 --> 00:33:54.094 align:center
I gotta train.
There's no time for drawing.

00:33:54.095 --> 00:33:56.348 align:center
Doesn't mean you wanna do it any less.

00:33:58.350 --> 00:34:00.560 align:center
Some things just come natural.

00:34:01.978 --> 00:34:04.022 align:center
Like birds, drawing...

00:34:06.566 --> 00:34:07.859 align:center
loving your dad.

00:34:09.027 --> 00:34:10.737 align:center
That's nothing to be ashamed of.

00:34:11.321 --> 00:34:14.157 align:center
You know how many little boys
don't even get a daddy to love?

00:34:17.202 --> 00:34:18.453 align:center
I was scared.

00:34:22.874 --> 00:34:27.212 align:center
It's normal to not wanna hurt
the people you love.

00:34:29.214 --> 00:34:31.716 align:center
Love is the most important thing
we've got.

00:34:32.509 --> 00:34:33.842 align:center
It's why we train you so hard.

00:34:33.843 --> 00:34:36.303 align:center
We wanna see you succeed
because we love you.

00:34:36.304 --> 00:34:39.891 align:center
The birds were right. I'm not good enough.

00:34:43.978 --> 00:34:45.188 align:center
I made the birds up.

00:34:46.314 --> 00:34:48.274 align:center
We make this all seem so urgent...

00:34:51.236 --> 00:34:53.947 align:center
like you have to be ready
to fly today because

00:34:54.906 --> 00:34:56.824 align:center
we don't know when they're gonna
call your number

00:34:56.825 --> 00:34:58.827 align:center
and ask you to be a Lantern.

00:35:00.328 --> 00:35:02.288 align:center
And the reason
we don't know is because

00:35:03.456 --> 00:35:04.541 align:center
you were right.

00:35:05.208 --> 00:35:07.252 align:center
The Guardians don't answer us.

00:35:09.879 --> 00:35:11.131 align:center
You lied?

00:35:11.673 --> 00:35:15.259 align:center
Just because they don't answer
doesn't mean they're not listening.

00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:17.386 align:center
They probably don't even know who I am.

00:35:17.387 --> 00:35:19.681 align:center
Oh, they know exactly who you are.

00:35:22.267 --> 00:35:24.309 align:center
They know you better
than they knew Hal Jordan,

00:35:24.310 --> 00:35:25.729 align:center
and they know you're better.

00:35:26.938 --> 00:35:28.981 align:center
And the only reason why he has that ring

00:35:28.982 --> 00:35:31.775 align:center
is because he's been
privileged enough in this life

00:35:31.776 --> 00:35:33.695 align:center
that he didn't have to know fear.

00:35:35.321 --> 00:35:37.907 align:center
And we are giving you that same gift.

00:35:39.033 --> 00:35:40.577 align:center
I can see it for you.

00:35:42.912 --> 00:35:45.957 align:center
I can see you wearing that uniform,
making us all proud.

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:50.003 align:center
But I wasn't chosen.

00:35:55.717 --> 00:35:57.051 align:center
Sometimes...

00:35:58.511 --> 00:36:01.389 align:center
a Black man has to raise his own hand.

00:36:03.016 --> 00:36:04.600 align:center
Doesn't mean you're not good enough,

00:36:04.601 --> 00:36:07.937 align:center
doesn't mean you're not better.
It just means they don't see us.

00:36:09.481 --> 00:36:11.107 align:center
So, we make ourselves seen.

00:36:14.444 --> 00:36:17.864 align:center
Now, if you wanna stop trying for this
because we lied to you, I get it.

00:36:19.949 --> 00:36:22.118 align:center
But you can't worry
about the choosing part.

00:36:27.248 --> 00:36:28.458 align:center
Choose yourself.

00:36:34.839 --> 00:36:36.299 align:center
I'm ready to shoot now.

00:36:39.093 --> 00:36:40.428 align:center
I'll go wake up your dad.

00:36:41.095 --> 00:36:42.221 align:center
No, not Dad.

00:36:42.222 --> 00:36:43.556 align:center
You.

00:37:15.630 --> 00:37:17.382 align:center
I knew you could do it, son.

00:37:19.759 --> 00:37:21.511 align:center
Let's go get you your cheeseburger.

00:37:22.637 --> 00:37:24.055 align:center
I hate cheeseburgers.

00:37:29.310 --> 00:37:31.354 align:center
Then you don't need to eat them anymore.

00:37:39.112 --> 00:37:41.446 align:center
<i>I admire your candor about your family.</i>

00:37:41.447 --> 00:37:44.992 align:center
Why do I get the feeling
you're about to say "but"?

00:37:44.993 --> 00:37:48.078 align:center
Because there are still other things
you are withholding from me.

00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.498 align:center
- Like my military discharge?
- Yes.

00:37:52.792 --> 00:37:54.794 align:center
I've told you everything
I'm comfortable telling.

00:37:55.879 --> 00:37:57.380 align:center
If you want this job,

00:37:58.673 --> 00:38:00.884 align:center
you will share everything
you are uncomfortable with.

00:40:09.012 --> 00:40:11.304 align:center
- Nine months.
- You said it could take a while.

00:40:11.305 --> 00:40:13.223 align:center
- That's a long while.
- That's how long it took.

00:40:13.224 --> 00:40:14.434 align:center
We thought you were dead.

00:40:14.976 --> 00:40:16.476 align:center
The higher-ups were losing their shit.

00:40:16.477 --> 00:40:18.271 align:center
You could have sent a recon plane.

00:40:19.022 --> 00:40:20.397 align:center
You didn't have to send in Jordan.

00:40:20.398 --> 00:40:21.607 align:center
We didn't.

00:40:22.608 --> 00:40:23.651 align:center
Exactly.

00:40:29.615 --> 00:40:32.826 align:center
The Deputy to the Defense Secretary
was at some strip club.

00:40:32.827 --> 00:40:35.663 align:center
And who's at the bar holding court
but Hal fucking Jordan.

00:40:36.205 --> 00:40:37.206 align:center
They start drinking.

00:40:37.790 --> 00:40:42.045 align:center
The Deputy lets it slide they have intel
Gray Wolf's headed for his retreat. Boom.

00:40:43.004 --> 00:40:45.714 align:center
Jordan just zips up at the sky,
headed straight for Kamchatka.

00:40:45.715 --> 00:40:49.635 align:center
Blasts the compound, grabs Gray Wolf,
and drops him off at Guantanamo.

00:40:52.472 --> 00:40:56.142 align:center
So now, we have a wanted terrorist,
not dead, but in custody.

00:40:57.268 --> 00:40:58.643 align:center
And a bunch of pissed-off Russians

00:40:58.644 --> 00:41:01.563 align:center
asking who torched 300 acres
of their sovereign land.

00:41:01.564 --> 00:41:03.982 align:center
Fortunately, the U.S. military
can take responsibility

00:41:03.983 --> 00:41:05.443 align:center
for this shitstorm.

00:41:06.235 --> 00:41:07.695 align:center
With one small exception.

00:41:08.738 --> 00:41:10.907 align:center
- We weren't supposed to be there.
- We were not.

00:41:12.325 --> 00:41:13.534 align:center
And neither was Jordan.

00:41:15.495 --> 00:41:17.037 align:center
And someone has to take the heat

00:41:17.038 --> 00:41:20.290 align:center
lest it get out that our foreign policy
is the solicitation of aid

00:41:20.291 --> 00:41:23.794 align:center
from drunk fucking superheroes
in titty bars.

00:41:23.795 --> 00:41:26.380 align:center
- Here you go, gentlemen.
- Thank you.

00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:32.804 align:center
Yeah, okay.

00:41:33.513 --> 00:41:35.306 align:center
Do you know
what you're saying okay to, son?

00:41:35.848 --> 00:41:37.266 align:center
You were there of your own volition.

00:41:38.684 --> 00:41:40.685 align:center
Your discharge is gonna be dishonorable.

00:41:40.686 --> 00:41:44.148 align:center
But everyone up top will know the service
you've done for your country.

00:41:50.655 --> 00:41:52.240 align:center
Yeah, I understand.

00:41:52.907 --> 00:41:54.117 align:center
God bless you, Major.

00:42:07.755 --> 00:42:09.674 align:center
How long are you gonna mope
around my house?

00:42:10.341 --> 00:42:11.509 align:center
As long as you'll let me.

00:42:16.556 --> 00:42:17.849 align:center
Fucking Hal Jordan.

00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:21.059 align:center
Fucking Hal Jordan.

00:42:21.060 --> 00:42:22.562 align:center
Everything I worked for is gone.

00:42:24.564 --> 00:42:26.398 align:center
Nothing you lost can't be got back.

00:42:26.399 --> 00:42:28.441 align:center
That's years of my life, Mama.

00:42:28.442 --> 00:42:32.279 align:center
Nine months alone,
spent eating bugs and berries.

00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:34.323 align:center
You don't eat meat anyway.

00:42:37.869 --> 00:42:39.579 align:center
Open it. I already did.

00:42:40.413 --> 00:42:41.414 align:center
What is it?

00:42:53.551 --> 00:42:55.760 align:center
- I didn't apply to art school.
- I did.

00:42:55.761 --> 00:42:58.096 align:center
- You wanna go, don't you?
- Why would you do that?

00:42:58.097 --> 00:43:00.265 align:center
Because it's time for you
to pick yourself up

00:43:00.266 --> 00:43:02.684 align:center
and stop using up all my electricity.

00:43:02.685 --> 00:43:04.187 align:center
Okay, and...

00:43:05.188 --> 00:43:06.522 align:center
what about my destiny?

00:43:08.900 --> 00:43:12.612 align:center
The path hasn't changed.
This is just a detour.

00:43:13.362 --> 00:43:16.156 align:center
Now, if you wanna sit up in this room
and be scared that it's all over,

00:43:16.157 --> 00:43:17.408 align:center
then you're afraid.

00:43:18.326 --> 00:43:20.619 align:center
- And if you're afraid...
- Then it's over.

00:43:20.620 --> 00:43:21.704 align:center
Right.

00:43:22.371 --> 00:43:24.957 align:center
Courage is fear
that's said its prayers, son.

00:43:26.334 --> 00:43:27.543 align:center
You could be worried,

00:43:28.044 --> 00:43:30.546 align:center
but you have to be brave enough
to still try.

00:43:31.756 --> 00:43:35.092 align:center
Because one day, every little boy's
gonna wanna be just like you.

00:43:36.469 --> 00:43:37.803 align:center
But until then,

00:43:38.721 --> 00:43:40.932 align:center
you have to make yourself happy.

00:43:43.184 --> 00:43:45.186 align:center
Since when did you care if I was happy?

00:43:45.853 --> 00:43:47.647 align:center
You still mad about those crayons?

00:44:07.166 --> 00:44:09.542 align:center
<i>Thank you for agreeing
to meet me, Mr. Stewart.</i>

00:44:09.543 --> 00:44:11.169 align:center
Thank you. Of course.

00:44:11.170 --> 00:44:12.921 align:center
As I'm sure you were told,

00:44:12.922 --> 00:44:16.049 align:center
we're looking for a well-trained student
for a very special project.

00:44:16.050 --> 00:44:18.219 align:center
You come highly recommended.

00:44:19.053 --> 00:44:20.513 align:center
The evaluation is simple enough.

00:44:21.055 --> 00:44:24.140 align:center
I will ask you to draw sketches
of objects from memory.

00:44:24.141 --> 00:44:26.811 align:center
The more detailed, the better.

00:44:27.395 --> 00:44:29.021 align:center
- Shall we?
- Yeah.

00:44:36.404 --> 00:44:39.490 align:center
Please, sketch the building we're in.

00:45:04.807 --> 00:45:06.099 align:center
Can you picture a watch?

00:45:06.100 --> 00:45:08.727 align:center
Preferably one that belonged
to your mother or father.

00:45:08.728 --> 00:45:11.355 align:center
- Yeah, my father's.
- Excellent.

00:45:12.648 --> 00:45:16.027 align:center
Now, Mr. Stewart, please...

00:45:19.488 --> 00:45:20.948 align:center
place the ring on your finger

00:45:21.782 --> 00:45:23.576 align:center
and manifest your father's watch.

00:45:39.550 --> 00:45:42.887 align:center
You must consider all
of its inner engineering if it is to work.

00:45:46.140 --> 00:45:48.351 align:center
Just think about it. It will project.

00:46:22.093 --> 00:46:23.219 align:center
Fine work.

00:46:40.152 --> 00:46:42.113 align:center
We've been watching your progress.

00:46:44.156 --> 00:46:47.493 align:center
Now, off you go.
Or you'll miss your interview.

00:46:51.372 --> 00:46:52.456 align:center
My interview?

00:46:53.999 --> 00:46:55.668 align:center
The one you've been waiting for.

00:47:06.011 --> 00:47:07.138 align:center
Jump.

00:47:29.660 --> 00:47:33.580 align:center
Can you confirm for me
that it is because of Hal Jordan

00:47:33.581 --> 00:47:35.123 align:center
that you are no longer in the military?

00:47:35.124 --> 00:47:36.208 align:center
Yeah.

00:47:37.751 --> 00:47:39.003 align:center
Would you say that

00:47:39.503 --> 00:47:42.839 align:center
it is because Hal Jordan
was chosen over your father

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:44.967 align:center
that your family life is...

00:47:47.761 --> 00:47:49.179 align:center
complicated?

00:47:49.180 --> 00:47:50.680 align:center
Yeah.

00:47:50.681 --> 00:47:52.808 align:center
You would be closer to your brothers?

00:47:56.937 --> 00:47:57.979 align:center
Yeah.

00:47:57.980 --> 00:48:00.357 align:center
And has any of this caused you to harbor

00:48:01.817 --> 00:48:05.070 align:center
ill will for Hal Jordan?

00:48:06.447 --> 00:48:07.447 align:center
No.

00:48:07.448 --> 00:48:10.700 align:center
You just told me he was the reason
you were discharged from the military.

00:48:10.701 --> 00:48:12.494 align:center
It's not his fault.
He was following orders.

00:48:12.495 --> 00:48:13.870 align:center
Actually, he wasn't.

00:48:13.871 --> 00:48:18.374 align:center
In fact, we had repeatedly admonished him
to not use his powers

00:48:18.375 --> 00:48:20.377 align:center
to intervene in terrestrial disputes.

00:48:31.514 --> 00:48:34.058 align:center
Would you be comfortable
replacing Hal Jordan?

00:48:35.809 --> 00:48:38.394 align:center
Understanding that he would be
under the impression

00:48:38.395 --> 00:48:40.564 align:center
that you are simply his backup.

00:48:44.318 --> 00:48:45.777 align:center
Are those my orders?

00:48:45.778 --> 00:48:49.532 align:center
If you get the job, yes,
those would be your orders.

00:48:50.574 --> 00:48:53.035 align:center
Well, then it doesn't matter
if I'm comfortable with it.

00:49:08.884 --> 00:49:10.219 align:center
Congratulations...

00:49:13.389 --> 00:49:14.598 align:center
John Stewart.

00:49:17.351 --> 00:49:19.270 align:center
Mama! Dad!

00:49:20.187 --> 00:49:21.855 align:center
Y'all are not gonna believe this.

00:49:22.439 --> 00:49:24.399 align:center
There he is.
The one and only John Stewart.

00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.651 align:center
Hey, he's a junior, isn't he?
Is that what you call him?

00:49:26.652 --> 00:49:28.403 align:center
We just call him John.

00:49:28.404 --> 00:49:30.446 align:center
Junior, Hal Jordan.
Pleasure to meet you.

00:49:30.447 --> 00:49:32.782 align:center
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
- It is, isn't it?

00:49:32.783 --> 00:49:36.244 align:center
I was just telling your folks here
I just had to meet my new protégé.

00:49:36.245 --> 00:49:39.664 align:center
And I don't know how in the world
the big, blue bosses chose him,

00:49:39.665 --> 00:49:42.418 align:center
but I know that if...
well, if you two raised him,

00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:44.169 align:center
he's gonna be top-notch.

00:49:46.046 --> 00:49:47.631 align:center
Y'all two are salt of the Earth,

00:49:48.299 --> 00:49:49.967 align:center
like the Midwest Huxtables.

00:49:51.176 --> 00:49:55.346 align:center
Junior, what say we walk outside
and talk over schedules and whatnot.

00:49:55.347 --> 00:49:56.557 align:center
And...

00:49:57.057 --> 00:49:58.809 align:center
I do appreciate the hospitality.

00:50:05.482 --> 00:50:06.567 align:center
You coming, Junior?

00:50:11.864 --> 00:50:13.324 align:center
You starstruck or shy?

00:50:14.533 --> 00:50:15.576 align:center
Neither, sir.

00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:18.912 align:center
I'm kind of getting the sense of...

00:50:20.205 --> 00:50:21.206 align:center
tension.

00:50:21.790 --> 00:50:23.250 align:center
No, no, it's just...

00:50:24.710 --> 00:50:25.835 align:center
It just means a lot to me.

00:50:25.836 --> 00:50:27.838 align:center
I was hoping
to tell them myself, that's all.

00:50:31.717 --> 00:50:34.345 align:center
Aw, hell. Did I spoil it?

00:50:35.429 --> 00:50:38.014 align:center
No. No, sir. No, it's okay.

00:50:38.015 --> 00:50:39.182 align:center
- It is?
- Yeah.

00:50:39.183 --> 00:50:40.558 align:center
- It's okay?
- Yeah.

00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:41.685 align:center
You're sure?

00:50:42.853 --> 00:50:44.521 align:center
All right, good. Good, good, good.

00:50:45.147 --> 00:50:47.107 align:center
Because, you know, honestly...

00:50:48.692 --> 00:50:50.777 align:center
I don't give a flying fuck
what you're hoping for,

00:50:50.778 --> 00:50:52.779 align:center
but I'm guessing
it's this ring right here.

00:50:52.780 --> 00:50:55.865 align:center
And I don't need a fucking sidekick,
and I don't want a fucking backup,

00:50:55.866 --> 00:50:57.367 align:center
and the only way
you're gonna get this ring

00:50:57.368 --> 00:50:58.827 align:center
is over my dead fucking body.

00:51:01.664 --> 00:51:04.208 align:center
We'll start training Monday morning.
Looking forward to it, Junior.

00:51:21.600 --> 00:51:22.810 align:center
I think he likes me.
