[Rachel] Previously on Titans...
I lied. I told you that Jericho was dead when I got to the church.
He died trying to save me from his father.
[grunts]
You lying sack of shit.
- I'm out. - I'm out, too.
I mean, he got a kid killed. Who the fuck hides that?
You were there, too. You played your part.
- [grunts] Rachel, what's happening? - [Rachel] Sorry, Donna.
Conner, no!
[officer grunting]
- [tires screech] - [sirens wailing]
[Mercy] We've got a potential murderer walking around out there
with our technological fingerprints all over him.
We gotta bring Subject 13 in.
- We'll need your team. - My pleasure.
I help people that others have given up on.
He cured me.
- From what? - A rare disease.
Although, the cure I administered had unforeseen side-effects.
[screaming]
- Hello. - Hi.
I took advantage of Jericho to get to your husband.
I've got nothing but pain for you.
- Grayson! - You killed him.
This isn't about me.
You still haven't accepted your guilt.
[Slade] I sentence you to live alone, Dick Grayson,
forever knowing that your Titans family
lives and breathes somewhere out there in the world,
but you can never be with them.
Not until you've paid for your crime.
Excuse me, sir?
[grunts]
[cop 1] Ground! Down!
- [cop 2] Sir, get on the ground! - [cop 3] On the ground, now!
- [cop 2] Show me your hands! - [cop 3] Put your hands behind your head!
- [camera shutter clicks] - [man] Turn to your left.
Now, to the right.

[keyboard clicking]
We should play more board games. As a family.
It's supposed to promote bonding and connection.
And it's fun.
There's one I read about online.
Something about a penguin eating a fish.
I hate fish.
You don't have to eat it, it's a game...
- It's make-believe. - Can we play a vegan make-believe game?
Could use a little help.
They don't like fish.
I don't like monogamy, but I'm here, aren't I?
We're playing a board game. Tonight.
- No dietary exemptions allowed. - [cell phone ringing]
[dashboard beeps]
Walter, you're talking to everyone.
Hi, everyone. There's been a development.
Subject 13 has popped back on our radar. He's in the city.
Thought you would like to know.
Put a team together.
I was thinking you would say that.
Say goodbye now.
- [line disconnects] - Goodbye...
Game night's cancelled.
[sighs]
[whines softly]
Look, buddy, it's not safe for you to be around me anymore.
[barking]
- No. - [whines]
It's true. Sooner or later, they're gonna find me,
and you shouldn't be around when that happens. You might get hurt.
[growls softly and woofs]
You didn't do anything wrong, okay?
I did.
[barks and whines]
Go on, Krypto. Get out of here.
[growling]
I said get the hell out of here, you stupid mutt!
Go!
[whimpering]
[Len] One call each.
Two minutes max.
Use it or lose it.
[indistinct chatter]
[Len] Detective, huh? I applied to the PD.
Got red-flagged on the MMPI.
"I sometimes think of things too horrible to speak of?"
"That's a fucking affirmative, Madame Test Administrator."
Then spent four years at Lyon County
until the bastards finally realized they were wasting my potential.
Welcome to Len Armstrong's list of personal grievances.
I bet you got your own with that cop-hating PD
who railroaded you into a guilty plea.
Bullshit, if you ask me.
I wanted to plead guilty.
[blows raspberry] Sure.
Squeeze it down to 20 years instead of 30.
Got what I deserve.
Goddamn prosecutors. Always hit you when you're down.
Don't worry, we take care of our own here.
Welcome to the west wing.
No rose garden out back, but you got your privacy.
Keep you tucked away from the crazy.
Rent's free.
Just give me a heads up on shit before it hits the fan.
Eyes and ears out in the yard. You know the dealio.
[exhales] Yeah, not for me.
You'll wanna rethink that.
Gen pop's no place for a guy who wore a badge.
Sorry, I'm out of the business of helping people.
Okay. [chuckling]
Come here.
Detour time.
[chuckles]
[Len clears throat]
Brought you someone new to play with.
Enjoy...
Detective.
[inmates speaking Spanish]
[chuckles]
[speaking Spanish]
[crowd clamoring]
[reporter] Witnesses say the young man was immune to police gunfire.
San Francisco PD has issued a $50,000 reward
for information leading to his arrest.
[sighs heavily]
- [phone clicking] - [line ringing]
[Dick on phone] This is Dick Grayson. I can't take your call right now.
Leave a message.
Dick, it's me again.
[stammers] I know I screwed things up really bad, man, but...
And I get why maybe you don't wanna talk to me.
But, please, call me back.
- [sighs] - [line disconnects]
[automated voice] Security alert. Zone two. Downstairs entry.
Hello? Who's there?
[barking]
[chuckling] Krypto.
[Donna] Hey, Dick.
I know we're not exactly on chatty terms,
but Rachel went AWOL before our flight to Chicago, so...
I'm still in the city.
I figure she'll turn up when she runs out of cash, but...
I'm really starting to get worried.
[breathing heavily]
Just call me back, okay?
Fuck!
[woman] Here you go, dear.
There you go.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
[cell phone vibrating]
[phone clicks]
Do you think these are organic?
[sighs]
We've gotta die of something.
[chuckles softly]
- [gate buzzing] - [indistinct chatter]
[exclaims]
Hey, set up your play, man.
[gate buzzing]
- Yo, we got a problem? - Nope.
Hey.
What's up? You keeping an eye on us?
- Just minding my own business. - Yeah, so am I.
[Len] Hey!
Best buds already!
Melts my heart.
Mind if I cut in?
Used to be MS-13 littered this place with corpses.
Now, it's these Corto Maltese.
Last month I had to deport seven of them.
Got a punctured lung as a parting gift.
Sorry for throwing you in with the animals, but I had to make a point.
Now, let's bypass the bullshit and get down to business.
- Okay. - So, no hard feelings?
Sure.
Believe me, I had your back.
Let me get that single ready for you. Move you out of the jungle.
Hey.
What's up?
Don't.
I'm not helping you.
You said we were good.
We are, and I'm not helping you.
Or anybody.
- It's not personal. - You fucking with me again?
No.
Do you wanna be in here?
That's right.
[scoffs]
Know what happens to the cop who's in cahoots with the boss?
Nothing good.
[chuckling]
Enjoy your stay, kid.
[breathing heavily]
[inmates grunting]
Rent is due, motherfucker!
- We don't want any problems. - Too late.
- You left the family. - [breathing heavily]
They'll slice you up when you get home...
or we'll slice you up now...
or you pay the rent.
Your call.
- We'll do it. - Rafa, no!
Shut the fuck up!
I said we'll do it. Who?
- Rafa! - Your new cellie.
- The cop. - Why him?
'Cause he's a cop, motherfucker!
You saw him in the yard. He's down with the guards.
Twelve hours, puto.
[barks]
Great. Dumbest dog ever.
He can ring a doorbell with his nose.
I've seen dumber.
Stay away from me.
What you did to those cops...
You messed things up for a lot of people. Including me.
I think I deserve an answer. What the hell happened?
When you invited me to be a Titan, I told you what I was.
But you didn't listen, 'cause that's not what you wanted to hear.
You're right. I didn't listen.
But being a Titan isn't about being perfect.
I killed a guy once.
I clawed him to pieces.
So, maybe we should both be locked up.
What we do...
other people count on us to help them.
Well, they shouldn't.
[Krypto whines and barks]
[vehicle approaching]
[tires screech]
You gotta get out of here. Now!
Don't! No, no, no!
Do you really wanna hurt somebody else?
- [soldier 1] Let's go. Move, move! - [soldier 2] Spread out!
Come on!
[soldier] Move, move!
[pedestrian exclaims]
[Rachel] Mmm.
Mmm. These lemon things are delicious.
They get all their food from the Ritz Carlton down the street.
Leftovers from big muckety-muck conventions.
Bon appétit.
So, what brings you to this fine dining establishment? [chuckles]
Sorry, that was, um... You don't have to answer that.
Sorry.
It's all right.
I left.
My family is fucked up.
Yeah. Can't relate.
You look at all these grown-ups, and you think they have the answers.
Then you find out they just have no idea.
I think it's a test.
The longer we don't break free, the dumber we are.
Mmm.
Sixteen years.
That's like a D-minus for me.
Have you ever heard of a Labord's chameleon?
Can't say I have.
It's a lizard species in Madagascar.
The females lay their eggs before the winter
and then all the adults die before they hatch.
So, from the minute you're born, no parents.
You're totally on your own.
Yeah. Only downside is, your life span's only five months.
And you're, uh, green and scaly.
But...
you're totally free all your life.
No rules, no bullshit.
No adults fucking you up.
[chuckles] We should have been lizards.
Time to go.
You don't have to.
Mind your business, kid.
It's okay.
[door opens]
[door closes]
You disappear on me again, I'll fucking kill you.
Why wait?
Fine.
[grunts]
[distorted] I'm not a kid.
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
Please... don't kill me!
Please. Please.
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
I'm sorry.
Being a lizard would be considerably less freaky.
[chuckling]
You're fucking awesome!
[shadows rippling]
[growling]
[roars]
Oh, shit.
[roaring]
[whimpers]
No! No! No!
[screams]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[rock scraping]
[Dick] When's the escape?
I saw you looking at the guards at the gate.
So, you ratted us out, huh?
If I did, you'd all be in solitary.
If I can see what you're up to, soon enough, they will.
Fucking snitch giving us tips?
Just facts. Four guards on the ground...
two on the tower with M14s with 20 rounds each.
- You got no chance. - Yeah.
You're so smart, huh?
Why don't you tell us how we're gonna stay alive?
I'd kill me.
[sighs heavily]
[grunts]
I could fucking kill you. Make it easier on all of us.
But that's not who I am.
We're not murderers.
That's why we left the Corto Maltese and tried to go clean.
Immigration picked us up and they're gonna deport us.
At home, we're deserters, just like in here.
So, the Corto Maltese will slaughter us like pigs.
We have no choice but to break out.
So, unless you have real answers...
shut the fuck up.
You hungry? You want something to eat?
Yeah.
Hey...
you know they're gonna keep coming after me, right?
Let them try.
This is my mess, not yours.
This is what the Titans do. We have each other's backs.
[chuckles]
[Conner] So, where are they?
The other Titans?
You know, maybe...
I should do what Dick wanted me to do in the first place.
Call in the big guns.
We're gonna use guns?
[chuckles] No, it's just a metaphor.
- I'm calling Bruce Wayne. - [keyboard clacking]
[automated voice] Zone six. Unauthorized access.
What's that?
Zone six is the roof.
[glass shattering]
[soldier 1] Freeze, now!
[soldier 2] Everybody, down on the floor!
Stay where you are!
[soldier 3] Hands! Let me see your hands!
[soldier 4] Don't move!
[barking]
[soldier 2] Target ID'd.
[Mercy] Bring Subject 13 in alive.
Kill the other one.
[soldier 1] Shut that damn dog up!
[grunts]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[soldier screams]
[growls]
[roars]
Change of plan. Tranquilizers only. Bring the tiger in alive.
[roars]
[soldier grunts]
Screw this.
- I'm switching to Kryptonite bullets. - No! No Kryptonite.
Freeze!
No!
[whimpers]
[breathing heavily]
[Mercy] Stop!
It's okay.
- I'm not here to hurt you. - Who are you?
My name is Mercy Graves. I work with Eve Watson.
Eve?
Is she here?
No, she... sent me instead.
[Gar growls weakly]
[wheezing]
It's okay.
It's just tranquilizers to calm him.
I'm here to help you.
[scoffs] That's not what it feels like.
Do you want to hurt me?
I'm not sure.
Did you want to hurt those police officers?
I don't know. I don't think so.
These are not easy questions, Conner.
Let us help you.
After all, we created you.
We can fix you.
Fix?
What's happening to you, it's our fault.
An imbalance we didn't consider, but now that we understand it,
we can stop it.
All you have to do...
is come home.
What is this place?
I've brought someone who can help us.
Hey. Hey. Where the hell do you think you're going?
We've been here all morning. I'm bored.
Bored's better than dead.
- Take a nap. - I'm not tired.
Neither are they.
We stick together until tonight.
It's a suicide mission.
We're gonna make it.
Shut the fuck up, all of you.
It's not suicide.
You think we can't beat the guards with their guns,
but we can.
You know why?
Alazul.
You know Alazul?
In our village, Alazul's our hero.
He lives between the moon and the stars.
And in the time of greatest need, he flies down and saves you.
A bird that comes in the night and saves people?
Yes.
He's gonna save us tonight. And we'll be free.
[scoffs] Okay, Luis, there is no Alazul.
- Yes, there is. - Then why are you here?
The gangs, they came after you.
Immigration, they came after you.
If this bird's supposed to save you, where the hell has he been?
- Huh? - He's real.
And tonight...
he's gonna save us.
You'll see.
[sighs]
You'll see.
[Walter] Subject 13 is in stasis.
[Mercy] I'll call Mr. Luthor to get instructions on recalibration.
How's our other guest?
I'd like to say all bark and no bite, but I wouldn't put money on it.
Mr. Logan, I'm Mercy Graves. It's an honor to meet you.
Can I interest you in something else to eat?
Grass-fed ribeye? Chia pudding? Name anything you'd like.
How about letting me out of here?
I'm afraid that's not available on DoorDash.
[Gar laughs]
What have you done to Conner?
Exactly as he wanted.
We didn't force him to come back. It was his choice.
[scoffs]
Yeah, 'cause you guys are all about the free will here.
Loving mine, by the way.
My apologies for any discomfort.
We just wanted to contain your transformation
to ensure we had the opportunity to talk.
Let me guess. You guys can "fix" me, too.
No.
But I could help you.
I could offer you what Niles Caulder never did.
Dr. Caulder and Cadmus Industries have crossed paths from time to time.
He's a brilliant man.
Though not entirely altruistic, no matter how he wishes to appear.
He saved you,
gave you the gift of life, but only as it suited his needs, his purpose.
Did he ever ask you what you want? For yourself?
Has anyone?
Or do they just string you along...
using you for their own ends,
with little concern for you or your welfare?
Cadmus will focus on you.
Help you explore your powers to their fullest.
Help you be...
everything you want to be.
What I wanna be is a Titan.
I was out here last night, but it was too dark to see.
[police siren sounding]
Dick, I need you to call me back.
I tracked Rachel down to a soup kitchen.
Look, she's not just missing.
It's worse.
[prison gate buzzing]
Give me more points.
Hey, heads up. Get inside, now. Now!
- [Luis] Hey! Hey! Santos! - [grunts]
[clamoring]
[guard on PA] ...return to your cell. I repeat...
[Len] Move! Get out of the fucking way!
Call the medic!
Too late.
[Luis speaking Spanish]
[guard] Lockdown...
until your transport tonight. Warden's orders.
[cell door closes]
If you say we should have killed you, I'll break your fucking face.
Don't go through with this tonight.
[scoffs]
Now you fucking care?
With Santos, you had no chance.
Without him...
Santos being killed...
that's your sign saying, "Don't do this."
If you can't see that, you're blind.
I'm blind.
If God wants me dead, then it'll be my time.
But if I'm still alive tomorrow, then that's my sign.
And it means that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
And he's giving me a chance to be something else.
Maybe you're the one who's blind.
[sighs deeply]
[indistinct buzzing]
[cell door clattering]
Rise and shine, boys.
It's 6:00 a.m.
Say goodbye to America. Hope you had a nice stay.
[handcuffs locking]
[guard 1] Sit tight.
[guard 2] All right, we'll just need to get a signature
on the transport manifest...
All right. Load 'em up.
[guard 3] Time to go, gentlemen. On your feet.
Now!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Dick] Go!
[alarm blaring]
[grunts]
Hey!
- [guard 1] Cuff him! - [guard 2] Get him down.
The man who won't help anyone.
[wind rushing]
I spoke to Mr. Luthor.
There've been some changes regarding Subject 13 and Project Rakshasa.
With all due respect, Ms. Graves, I don't answer to you.
Oh, that's one of the changes. Now you do.
[Walter] What do we do about him?
[Mercy] He says he wants to be a Titan, reunited with his team.
I think it's an excellent idea.
