Okay, the Watchtower is ours again. So where's your secret weapon?
You're standing in it.
Wait, you mean we're gonna...?
Take the Watchtower out of orbit and drop it right on top of their little science project.

[Batman helps J'onn and the Flash load the unconscious Thanagarians into an escape pod, then closes the door and launches the pod, leaving himself behind.]
What are you doing?
I can't risk having the Watchtower burn up on re-entry. I'll have to guide it in, manually. Gentlemen... it's been an honor.
[Flash slumps on the floor of the pod as it disengages and maneuvers away from the Watchtower.]
This won't be like the last time you stole something from me.
Anything I took was freely offered. Maybe you should take better care of your stuff.
I've beaten you, little man. Any last words?
Yeah - you can kiss my axe.
My grandma hits harder than you!
[over radio-link] We're cutting it a little close! Have you shut off the force-field?
Not yet. Where are you?
Aboard the Watchtower, guiding it to target.
[shocked] That's insane! Get out of there!
Negative! I'm staying until... [static over radio]
Batman! [abandons fight]
[Batman loses consciousness just before Superman arrives. Superman rips up the seat he's buckled into, and flies him away from the Watchtower before impact.]
[As they pick themselves up from the rubble] Always have to be the hero, don't you?
Right back at you.
There's no us anymore, Shayera. Just a fallen traitor And a soldier with a job to do. She won't save you again, lantern. No woman's skirt to hide behind. No ring. What are you going to do now?
I was thinking of introducing you to my friend here!
TThanagarian
All construction personnel now en route to mother ship.
PDParan Dul
Good. Begin activation sequence.
That all you got? My grandma hits harder than you.
No!
Who's next?!
Stand down! Lower your weapons.
TThanagarian
Commander?
Our mission is a failure. There's no more reason to fight. Let them go. I hope you're pleased with yourself. It will take years for us to rebuild elsewhere.
Then you'd better get started.
SCSnapper Carr
This is Snapper Carr reporting. In a stunning turn of events, the Thanagarian Forces have ended their occupation of earth, departing for locations unknown. Once again, the world owes a debt of gratitude To the selfless heroism of the Justice League.
They've been in there a long time.
Yes, miss, they have. If I may be so bold, I'm neither a superhero, nor a soldier, so I'm hardly qualified to judge your actions by those standards. But I do know this: without the great sacrifices you've made, we wouldn't be here to share this nice pot of tea. Whatever they decide in that room, in my eyes, you'll always be a hero.
She exploited our weaknesses, betrayed us--
Come on! She was in the ultimate no-win situation. But when push came to shove, she came through for us, just like always.
She's a pariah to her people. We're all she has left.
Believe me, J'onn. I feel for her, but after everything that's happened. I honestly don't know if I could ever completely trust her again.
We're arguing in circles. It's time to take a vote.
They've sent for you, miss.
Thank you, Alfred.
Hawkgirl.
Before you start, I have something to say... I came to this planet as a patriot. I had a mission, and I carried it out. What I couldn't know was that I would come to care for the earth And her people... That I've come to care for all of you. I've spent the last 5 years torn between my feelings And my duty. I won't ask you to do the same. Therefore I am resigning from the justice league, Effective immediately.
Great. No Hawkgirl. No Javelin. No Watchtower. What's gonna happen to the League now? Do we all just walk away?
No. We rebuild, starting today.
J'onn's right. Earth still needs us, and we'll never let her down. It's our duty. :Green Lantern: You never asked how we voted.
It doesn't matter.
Where are you gonna go?
I don't know. Someplace where the fate of the world wasn't in my hands. Someplace where there's no more secrets, no more lies.
Was it all a lie?
I love you, John. I never lied about that. [flies away]
[tears falling off his face] I love you, too.
[Don Warren talks to Joe Blake about working at the shop]
DWDon Warren
You know what those brownshirts out there would do if they caught you? [referring to SD officers in security camera footage]
I'm not afraid to die.
WWarren
Me, either. Might be a relief, actually. But how you feel about pain?
Pain?
WWarren
Yeah. When they're plucking your fingernails out one by one, or they're cracking your balls open like walnuts. That's when maybe you stop caring about what your old man said and tell Johnny Jackboot out there my name, or just about anything else he wants.
You're so afraid, why are you here?
WWarren
I fought in the war, kid. I saw my buddies' brains get blown out on Virginia Beach. You... You're just a punk who could get me caught.
Yeah, I guess I'm afraid of pain. I don't have any buddies who died in the war. I don't really know what freedom is. But I'm not a punk and I'm not a spy, Mr. Warren. I'm here because I want to do the right thing. So you gonna give me the job or not?
[After a police officer helps him out with his truck, Joe Blake asks them about tattoo of a knife through a flower, the insignia of the Military Intelligence branch of the former U.S. Army]
PPolice officer
Oh, that? A soldier so fierce he’d kill a rose.
That was you?
PPolice officer
A long time ago. We lost the war didn’t we? Now I can’t even remember what we were fighting for.
[noticing ashes falling like snowflakes] What is that?
PPolice officer
Oh, that's the hospital.
The hospital?
PPolice officer
Yeah, Tuesdays, they burn cripples... the terminally ill. Drag on the state.
Hey, what is this?
It's newsreel film.
Yeah, I see that.
[elated at scenes of the flag-raising on Mt Suribachi] It shows us winning the war.
But we didn't win the war.
That's what they told us.
[film shows Allied troops riding through liberated towns with crowds cheering them on, and the destruction of Nazi swastikas in public structures]
Jesus, I know what this is.
What?
The Man in the High Castle.
The who?
Some guy they told me about, he makes these anti-fascist movies.
[notes footage of VJ-Day celebrations] Makes them GIs in Times Square.
I know they look real.
They look real because they are real.
[on the phone] Hey, it's me.
How was your journey?
No one stopped me.
Then your cover's intact. I'll tell your father, Joe. I know he'll be very proud.
Thank you, Obergruppenfuhrer. I hope so.
Heil Hitler.
Heil Hitler.
[Over breakfast, John Smith talks to Thomas about a certain bully in school and why Thomas is studying at the table]
Why do you want to succeed, son? Why do you want to do well in school?
To make my family proud. To bring honor to my school. To serve my country.
Your goals are directed outward. A boy like Randolph wants only to gratify himself. This is the path to moral decay. The decadence ruined this country before the war. You will grow to be a useful member of society. You will make our nation stronger. Randolph will not, whatever his test score.
RBRandall Becker
It takes a lot of effort not to be free-- keeping your head down, holding your tongue.
LLawrence
We wipe them out, yet they keep coming back like lice.
Lice don't assassinate Nazi officers.
LLawrence
I only meant--
It may reassure you to liken terrorists to insects, but they inflicted great damage on us today. Never underestimate them.
