Let's get into it. 0:01:27.340 --> 0:01:32.140 We were at OWA picking up directly from the events 0:01:32.500 --> 0:01:36.190 of the end of episode two. Hal is talking to 0:01:36.220 --> 0:01:39.360 Sinestro about Manhunters, and we get the line from that 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:45.130 previous ep where Sinestro is like, where he says, well, Manhunters, 0:01:45.190 --> 0:01:48.430 if they exist, would be the second biggest threat after 0:01:48.510 --> 0:01:53.510 Jon Stewart. And Hal is like, where'd you hear about 0:01:53.550 --> 0:01:54.130 Jon Stewart? 0:01:54.330 --> 0:01:54.450 Mm-hmm. 0:01:54.770 --> 0:01:56.110 Why'd you say that name? 0:01:56.210 --> 0:01:58.640 He's cagey about where he heard the name, but it's 0:01:58.700 --> 0:02:03.860 clear that Sinestro still has, whether he still has contacts 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.520 that somehow can reach him there or whether he was 0:02:08.220 --> 0:02:10.880 a lot more connected than Hal knew when he was 0:02:11.139 --> 0:02:16.050 out is unclear. But he wants to know, he's like, 0:02:16.070 --> 0:02:19.790 where'd the Guardians find John Stewart, Hal? And Hal's like, 0:02:19.830 --> 0:02:22.270 the Marines. And he's like, ah, that's Earth military. And 0:02:22.310 --> 0:02:27.150 it's unclear why Sinestro thinks that is important, but, um, 0:02:28.370 --> 0:02:32.410 Hal does know, not a dumb man, although he kind 0:02:32.460 --> 0:02:36.440 of plays, he plays the hayseed kind of dumb guy 0:02:36.500 --> 0:02:40.660 very well. He knows that John is not his backup, 0:02:40.700 --> 0:02:45.590 that he's his replacement. We go to earth, um, to 0:02:45.620 --> 0:02:51.030 Nebraska where, um, John has been back at the motel 0:02:51.090 --> 0:02:55.790 drawing maps of The Malcolm Rancher. Drawing other things. He 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.240 gets a call from his parents. It's clear that his 0:02:58.340 --> 0:03:03.320 parents are the go-between from the guardians to him. The 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.720 guardians don't contact him directly. They contact the parents and 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:11.820 then the parents contact him. And dad is frantic saying 0:03:11.860 --> 0:03:13.720 they need to speak with you. You have 20 minutes 0:03:13.740 --> 0:03:16.440 to get to a pay phone. John says he can't 0:03:16.860 --> 0:03:19.399 because he's working on the case. And he just hangs 0:03:19.500 --> 0:03:23.060 up before dad puts mom on the phone. There's a 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.210 knock on Hal's door. I mean, excuse me, John goes 0:03:26.250 --> 0:03:27.970 to knock on Hal's door, but Hal's not there because, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.040 of course, he's up in space talking to Sinestro. 0:03:31.060 --> 0:03:31.750 True. 0:03:31.990 --> 0:03:36.330 And Sinestro, meanwhile, is saying to Hal, you know, the 0:03:36.370 --> 0:03:37.790 only way you're going to be able to deal with 0:03:38.250 --> 0:03:39.950 this John Stewart is you're going to have to kill him. 0:03:39.990 --> 0:03:41.730 And Hal's like, I'm not going to do that. Come on. 0:03:42.150 --> 0:03:45.130 I'm not a bad guy. I'm not an evil guy. 0:03:45.150 --> 0:03:48.770 I'm not like you. Sinestro then asks, so there's a 0:03:48.810 --> 0:03:51.230 Manhunter alive on Earth. That's really a thing. Mm-hmm. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.940 That's how he gets him to stay, basically. Hal's like, 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.060 fuck you. And then he's like, oh, wait a minute, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.990 I'm Hannibal Lecter-ing you. Very good Hannibal Lecter energy. 0:04:00.910 --> 0:04:06.210 And Sinestro knows quite a bit about Manhunters. He knows, 0:04:06.290 --> 0:04:10.830 for instance, how to use a part of their physiology, 0:04:10.910 --> 0:04:14.310 natural physiology, to identify them after they've taken on a 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:20.200 different form. And Sinestro then advises Hal that, That here's, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.219 here's your solution to all your problems at once. Deliver 0:04:24.260 --> 0:04:28.099 the Manhunter to the Guardians. And in the process of 0:04:28.220 --> 0:04:33.220 doing that, engineer Jon Stewart's downfall. Like figure out how 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:33.600 to do that. 0:04:34.540 --> 0:04:35.080 Betrayal. 0:04:35.700 --> 0:04:39.820 He then asks, so does Jon talk to the Guardians directly? 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.110 Hal says he doesn't, although Hal doesn't know. Hal probably 0:04:45.170 --> 0:04:49.030 suspects that he does. but he says that he doesn't 0:04:49.089 --> 0:04:51.869 and clearly doesn't know for sure that John is actually 0:04:52.730 --> 0:04:56.010 speaking to the, to the guardians. Although indirectly, it seems 0:04:56.050 --> 0:05:02.570 like Sinestro then says, you know, asks a little bit 0:05:02.610 --> 0:05:06.090 more about John and says, okay, so is he fearless? Yes. 0:05:06.230 --> 0:05:06.490 Okay. 0:05:06.529 --> 0:05:09.250 That means he's going to be, he's going to be 0:05:09.310 --> 0:05:14.560 arrogant and you can use his predilection for following orders 0:05:14.779 --> 0:05:20.010 as a military guy to fool him. He's easily manipulatable 0:05:20.150 --> 0:05:22.909 because of that. And Hal says, is that how you 0:05:22.950 --> 0:05:27.870 fooled me? And Sinestro doesn't really answer the question. He 0:05:27.890 --> 0:05:31.810 just says, I've always been the same guy. 0:05:31.830 --> 0:05:33.390 You just missed it. 0:05:33.420 --> 0:05:35.760 You just missed it. You just missed my true nature. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.659 Do not make that same mistake with Jon Stewart. 0:05:38.940 --> 0:05:41.540 He said, I was always ambitious. I was always the 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.020 same ambitious guy. 0:05:43.060 --> 0:05:43.859 Very interesting. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:44.720 I know. 0:05:44.860 --> 0:05:47.159 I have to say, the Sinestro stuff is so great. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.900 Lars killing it. I kind of like the way that 0:05:50.970 --> 0:05:54.750 he's playing it. He's kind of broken and he doesn't 0:05:54.790 --> 0:05:57.230 have anything to live for, but he's always machinating. 0:05:57.510 --> 0:05:59.830 You can see that he's already doing the most. 0:06:00.510 --> 0:06:06.150 I will say that over the course of this episode, 0:06:07.110 --> 0:06:10.230 It's become clear to me that Laura Linney is like 0:06:10.370 --> 0:06:12.230 out on her own. I don't think she's doing. 0:06:12.250 --> 0:06:14.110 You don't think she's representing. 0:06:14.150 --> 0:06:14.310 Yeah. 0:06:14.350 --> 0:06:15.850 Yeah. We'll get to it. We'll get to that. 0:06:15.950 --> 0:06:17.830 Okay. So I think there's going to be a lot 0:06:17.850 --> 0:06:21.030 of conversation about like different people's agendas after this episode. 0:06:21.130 --> 0:06:25.010 Yes. Jon Stewart goes to get a scope from the 0:06:25.050 --> 0:06:28.010 gun score, just a scope. They don't like him there 0:06:28.070 --> 0:06:32.160 because of his association with Hal and them being outsiders 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:38.020 and alien associated outsiders kind of around town. So they, they, 0:06:38.790 --> 0:06:40.550 you know, make it hard for him at the gun store. 0:06:40.610 --> 0:06:42.910 They're like, well, no, you, we don't sell just a scope. 0:06:42.930 --> 0:06:44.290 You have to buy the rifle and the scope. So 0:06:44.310 --> 0:06:47.950 John's like, okay. Very cheerfully used to deal with situations 0:06:47.970 --> 0:06:50.630 like these. I'll take a rifle and a scope then. 0:06:50.650 --> 0:06:52.710 And then he buys the rifle and the scope and 0:06:52.740 --> 0:06:56.120 then unscrews the scope and leaves the rifle. And he's like, 0:06:56.220 --> 0:06:57.660 see you guys later. Have a nice day. 0:06:57.900 --> 0:06:59.080 Have a blessed day. 0:06:59.140 --> 0:07:02.320 He's really doing the, Aaron Pierre is charming the pants 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:03.740 off people in this episode. 0:07:04.420 --> 0:07:07.060 He goes to the town water tower. To scout the 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.500 ranch using the scope. And he sees a helicopter landing 0:07:10.540 --> 0:07:14.350 on the ranch. And then Hal, back from space, lands 0:07:14.410 --> 0:07:17.910 right in front of him. And John asks where he was. 0:07:17.930 --> 0:07:19.730 I knocked on your door. Where were you? I was 0:07:19.770 --> 0:07:23.970 getting laid in space. I was having sex in space, Junior. 0:07:24.950 --> 0:07:28.190 John Stewart then reminds Hal that, you know, we're kind 0:07:28.210 --> 0:07:29.850 of on a ticking clock here. There's an alien death 0:07:29.870 --> 0:07:33.630 squad that's looking to blow up the city in like 0:07:33.630 --> 0:07:35.690 36 hours. So we really got to get on it. 0:07:36.510 --> 0:07:39.390 And he then lays out for her how what he 0:07:39.430 --> 0:07:42.640 has discovered. There is a spot, which he calls the weenie, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:50.940 based on a comment on architecture by Walt Disney. 0:07:51.580 --> 0:07:56.710 Yes, showing his architectural nous here. Yes. Right thing. 0:07:57.410 --> 0:08:01.070 So he is identified on the ranch of the weenie, 0:08:01.110 --> 0:08:04.650 which is the place where on the ranch that seems 0:08:04.710 --> 0:08:08.430 to anchor everything, but that also is not visible from 0:08:08.610 --> 0:08:11.550 anywhere outside of the ranch. He can't see it. And 0:08:11.670 --> 0:08:16.000 that must be the important place. There's a chopper that 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.080 lands there every single day at just after 9 a.m. 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.200 And while that could be a decoy, it could also 0:08:23.260 --> 0:08:26.620 be the exact spot that they're looking for. And so 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.200 they have to get in there. Hal then updates the sheriff. 0:08:30.570 --> 0:08:32.710 Because one, he has a crush on the sheriff, but 0:08:32.770 --> 0:08:37.610 also he's kind of, you know, he needs, he's both 0:08:37.710 --> 0:08:40.010 Hal and John have been fucking up with regards to 0:08:40.050 --> 0:08:41.980 the sheriff and they really need to include her. 0:08:41.900 --> 0:08:44.020 In the investigation. They need allies as well. Like they 0:08:44.059 --> 0:08:44.920 have no allies. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.580 John is like, oh yeah, sure. You need to update 0:08:47.620 --> 0:08:51.520 the sheriff because he understands that Hal is kind of 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.260 sweet on the sheriff. 0:08:52.580 --> 0:08:54.040 They're both yarners for sure. 0:08:54.540 --> 0:08:56.900 For sure. They go to the bar, which is closed 0:08:56.940 --> 0:09:00.260 during the day and is apparently owned by the sheriff's family. 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.780 Jon Stewart tells her, OK, here's what's going on. There's 0:09:03.820 --> 0:09:08.670 a Manhunter. He's an intergalactic war criminal hiding in Rushville. 0:09:09.510 --> 0:09:13.250 And there's an alien hit team that that's the guys 0:09:13.290 --> 0:09:16.209 who got shot on the football field. They're going after it. 0:09:16.250 --> 0:09:18.790 They're trying to kill it. If they can't find it 0:09:19.130 --> 0:09:21.620 and we and I don't call in with the identity 0:09:21.660 --> 0:09:24.120 and location of the Manhunter in 36 hours, they're going 0:09:24.140 --> 0:09:26.939 to blow up the city. It could look like anyone. 0:09:27.420 --> 0:09:30.490 Alien detectors won't work on it. And the sheriff says 0:09:30.929 --> 0:09:34.370 in kind of like the thing fashion. 0:09:34.390 --> 0:09:35.849 Bury the thing. Yeah, right. 0:09:36.090 --> 0:09:40.520 So it could be me. And Hal basically lays out 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.660 like that doesn't work. The timeline doesn't work. I did 0:09:42.700 --> 0:09:46.829 some like. i looked you up on instagram yeah he 0:09:46.850 --> 0:09:49.570 needed to goon ethically so he had to check you 0:09:49.610 --> 0:09:52.230 were not the manhunter right i looked you up on 0:09:52.270 --> 0:09:55.590 instagram and um i like what you've done with your 0:09:55.630 --> 0:09:58.090 hair in the years since but i didn't get bangs 0:09:58.170 --> 0:10:01.170 anymore i appreciate it but it's clear because I know 0:10:01.220 --> 0:10:06.360 when Abin Sur, the lantern crashed here with the Manhunter that, um, 0:10:06.420 --> 0:10:08.780 that must've been when the Manhunter arrived. And because you 0:10:08.820 --> 0:10:10.800 were in Gotham at that time, it doesn't make sense 0:10:10.820 --> 0:10:11.220 that it's you. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.060 And you wouldn't, you existed before he arrived and we 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.400 know that whoever it is doesn't exist before he arrives. 0:10:16.500 --> 0:10:16.800 Correct. 0:10:17.260 --> 0:10:22.770 So, um, The Manhunter is Macon's benefactor, they are pretty sure. 0:10:24.210 --> 0:10:28.510 And they think the sheriff could figure out who that 0:10:28.590 --> 0:10:32.600 is or might even know who that is. So meanwhile, 0:10:32.700 --> 0:10:36.580 Jon Stewart's phone is blowing up because his parents are 0:10:36.620 --> 0:10:39.700 just like, Guardians want to talk to you. Guardians want 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.160 to talk to you. Guardians want to talk to you. 0:10:41.179 --> 0:10:43.280 This is such an unhealthy dynamic. 0:10:43.350 --> 0:10:45.370 Laura Linney, sort it out, babe. 0:10:45.390 --> 0:10:47.290 This is not sustainable. 0:10:47.730 --> 0:10:49.949 Hal then tells the sheriff that they're going to investigate 0:10:49.990 --> 0:10:53.290 the weenie, and the sheriff's like, okay, but you realize 0:10:53.309 --> 0:10:54.870 you're only probably going to get one shot at this, 0:10:54.910 --> 0:10:59.280 so don't fuck it up. Back at the motel, Hal says, okay, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.579 we're going to go tonight, and we'll wait till nightfall. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.100 They go to their rooms. Laura Linney then appears to 0:11:05.140 --> 0:11:10.069 Jon Stewart, and... She's not happy. It's not just like 0:11:10.290 --> 0:11:13.440 not happy, but the amount of pressure she's putting on 0:11:13.500 --> 0:11:16.740 John definitely makes me feel like she's up to something. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.440 Yes. 0:11:18.860 --> 0:11:21.660 It feels like she's doing this to create her own 0:11:21.740 --> 0:11:25.319 lantern against the wishes of the other guardian or something, right? 0:11:25.580 --> 0:11:28.760 She's up to something. John senses it, but we don't 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.140 get that until later. So she basically tells John, listen, 0:11:32.730 --> 0:11:34.929 why haven't you been in contact? And he says, well, 0:11:35.970 --> 0:11:38.770 I'm investigating this thing. That you made me do. 0:11:39.150 --> 0:11:40.550 That you made me do. 0:11:40.590 --> 0:11:42.710 And she's like, well, why haven't you, like, this, that, 0:11:42.730 --> 0:11:46.250 and the other, gotten the ring? Like, you know, she 0:11:46.309 --> 0:11:48.670 wants him to seize the ring from Hal. It becomes 0:11:48.710 --> 0:11:51.709 increasingly clear. He's like, well, that hasn't happened yet, and 0:11:51.730 --> 0:11:55.050 we're investigating this thing. And she's like, well, maybe what 0:11:55.070 --> 0:11:57.130 it is is I was wrong about you, and your 0:11:57.150 --> 0:11:59.359 mom was wrong about you, and you're actually weak. You're 0:11:59.420 --> 0:12:02.510 not strong. You're not creative. You don't have the stuff 0:12:02.970 --> 0:12:06.950 that we thought you did, that your mom oversold. And 0:12:06.970 --> 0:12:08.890 when she said, you've been raised to do this, she 0:12:08.910 --> 0:12:12.510 was actually completely wrong. And we've wasted years and years 0:12:12.550 --> 0:12:16.480 and years. And in fact, your whole life investing in you. 0:12:16.540 --> 0:12:21.900 And we're just like completely wrong about you. And he's like, no, 0:12:22.020 --> 0:12:26.160 that's not true. I was made for this. Hal is weak. Hal... 0:12:26.540 --> 0:12:29.860 It will never be. He's old. He's washed up. He'll 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.120 never be a fraction as good as the lantern than 0:12:33.340 --> 0:12:36.480 I will be because I am creative. I am strong. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.699 And I have been training for this my whole life. 0:12:38.740 --> 0:12:42.069 And she says, great. So what you need to do 0:12:42.380 --> 0:12:46.670 is when Hal gives you the ring for your training, 0:12:46.770 --> 0:12:51.270 for whatever happens. Immediately say the oath and you will 0:12:51.390 --> 0:12:53.010 seize the ring from him and you will be the 0:12:53.050 --> 0:12:53.550 Green Lantern. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.860 That is when I knew she was definitely on some 0:12:56.940 --> 0:12:57.600 shady shit. 0:12:57.620 --> 0:12:59.160 Because where's the ceremony? 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.179 Where's the commencement? Why does Jon have to steal the 0:13:03.260 --> 0:13:06.080 ring from Jon? And why is she the only guardian 0:13:06.140 --> 0:13:08.380 saying this? I don't see no birds. I don't see 0:13:08.460 --> 0:13:11.800 anyone telling him nothing. Like, no, I think you're right, Jason. 0:13:12.260 --> 0:13:14.730 A hundred percent, especially on my second watch. I was like, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:15.450 she's desperate. 0:13:15.890 --> 0:13:16.809 There's something. 0:13:16.990 --> 0:13:19.180 Yes. Can I say something? Can I say something? 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.000 This is just a silly canon thing and maybe we're wrong. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.760 But in the comics, right, the Guardians are really short. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.020 That's like the joke. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:26.460 Right. 0:13:26.500 --> 0:13:28.920 So the fact that she was really tall, like, is 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.240 she a different kind of alien? 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.330 Interesting. I don't think so. 0:13:32.380 --> 0:13:34.910 I think she is a Guardian. And it's probably just 0:13:34.950 --> 0:13:37.070 like how they always change that stuff. Like how the 0:13:37.110 --> 0:13:38.930 Goombas in Mario had small heads. 0:13:38.870 --> 0:13:41.130 Instead of big heads. But like, but we can talk 0:13:41.170 --> 0:13:42.630 more about theories. 0:13:42.830 --> 0:13:45.130 We did need to say, guys, this is a red 0:13:45.230 --> 0:13:47.030 flag on Laura Linney's intentions. 0:13:47.050 --> 0:13:50.930 Big red flag. We should also say that she tells 0:13:51.010 --> 0:13:54.480 John that Hal was not in space having sex. He 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.780 was talking with Sinestro, violating his oath. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.640 Breaking his oath. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.440 And he's like, what were they talking about? And she 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.520 is like, I was hoping that you could tell me, 0:14:04.650 --> 0:14:05.890 which is like, how would John know? 0:14:05.929 --> 0:14:09.290 But also, don't you have cameras in that prison, girl? Like, 0:14:09.330 --> 0:14:10.130 come on, what do you mean? 0:14:10.150 --> 0:14:12.650 That is another part of my theory that I'm eager 0:14:12.670 --> 0:14:17.740 to lay out. Okay, so John smells rat. he's hesitant 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.260 because again, to your point, Rosie, where is the ceremony? 0:14:21.340 --> 0:14:23.780 Why are the guardians not giving him the ring? 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.470 Why is he in that silly place in Oa with 0:14:26.510 --> 0:14:28.190 all the guys sitting around. 0:14:27.930 --> 0:14:31.770 Looking at him? Like they like all that funny alien shit. Exactly. 0:14:31.850 --> 0:14:35.050 And those long robes with the glowing Oa. With the 0:14:35.070 --> 0:14:35.710 glowing shit. 0:14:36.010 --> 0:14:38.090 Why is he, why does he have to steal it 0:14:38.190 --> 0:14:39.130 from how? 0:14:39.210 --> 0:14:41.700 And also then how does he get the fucking lantern? 0:14:41.740 --> 0:14:44.420 Like that seems sus. The whole thing is questionable. 0:14:44.460 --> 0:14:45.500 And John's clever. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:45.600 Yeah. 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.000 You start to see they've played him quite like straight. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.980 Obviously the last episode, we got a lot more emotional core, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.000 but we get to see him kind of coming out 0:14:54.020 --> 0:14:54.980 of his shell a bit here. 0:14:55.020 --> 0:14:56.260 And you also see that he. 0:14:56.260 --> 0:14:59.320 Is so much more going on beneath the surface than 0:14:59.360 --> 0:14:59.990 he lets on. 0:15:00.500 --> 0:15:02.550 And actually this is where Laura Linney goes crazy. And 0:15:02.590 --> 0:15:04.470 it's like, well, maybe I was wrong. Maybe you're weak 0:15:04.530 --> 0:15:06.790 and your mom was wrong and your parents fucked up. 0:15:06.930 --> 0:15:10.610 And actually like, you're all a complete waste of our time. 0:15:11.930 --> 0:15:17.160 She then says, listen, Hal Jordan is, has filed reports 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.990 about you, and his reports say that you're uncreative, basically. 0:15:22.430 --> 0:15:25.410 And that's when John goes on the tirade saying, like, 0:15:25.450 --> 0:15:26.020 he's washed up. 0:15:26.030 --> 0:15:26.750 He's fucking washed. 0:15:26.770 --> 0:15:30.250 He's not shit. He's Shaq on the Celtics. Like, he's nothing. 0:15:30.290 --> 0:15:32.020 You love that comparison right now. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.800 I mean, the picture is so good. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:34.240 The classic. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.120 And then she tells him, well, you know, like, if 0:15:38.180 --> 0:15:43.330 that's true, if you are going to be 15 times 0:15:43.470 --> 0:15:46.060 the Green Lantern that he ever will be, Prove it. 0:15:46.340 --> 0:15:49.240 Go get the fucking ring. She's really putting the pressure on. 0:15:49.740 --> 0:15:52.520 John goes to knock on Hal's door. He suggests to 0:15:52.580 --> 0:15:56.080 Hal that, listen, look at the layout of the guard towers. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.770 It's going to be really dumb if you fly in. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.960 They're going to see you. They're going to shoot at you. 0:16:04.340 --> 0:16:07.940 And they'll know you're coming. We should tunnel in. And 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.220 he then shows Hal a design he's been sketching for 0:16:11.420 --> 0:16:15.810 a tunnel boring machine. And Hal says, you draw this. 0:16:16.490 --> 0:16:19.410 And he says, it just says, I'm creative. I'm creative. 0:16:19.590 --> 0:16:20.370 And they head off. 0:16:20.690 --> 0:16:24.220 That's what I mean. Like, some of the funny line 0:16:24.260 --> 0:16:27.620 deliveries of, like, his jokes are, like, so good. 0:16:28.460 --> 0:16:31.140 So they get to the outskirts of the ranch. And 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:36.110 perhaps just as John planned, Hal hands John the ring 0:16:36.870 --> 0:16:42.780 to manifest this machine. Mm-hmm. Because either Hal feels like 0:16:42.820 --> 0:16:44.620 he can't do it or he wants to see really 0:16:44.660 --> 0:16:47.260 what John is made of, whatever the reason. 0:16:47.500 --> 0:16:50.230 I think that's a good question because I think Hal 0:16:50.310 --> 0:16:52.850 thinks he's doing it because he wants to see what 0:16:52.890 --> 0:16:53.650 John's made of. 0:16:53.690 --> 0:16:55.350 But I think that Hal's like. 0:16:55.930 --> 0:16:59.410 lizard brain is saying you can't fucking manifest that shit. 0:16:59.270 --> 0:17:02.310 Hal's made stuff like this before i don't know like 0:17:02.330 --> 0:17:03.870 maybe not that. 0:17:03.790 --> 0:17:05.210 Yeah yeah but i don't know if he's made it 0:17:05.290 --> 0:17:09.910 like this engineeringly correct like this seems like intricate this 0:17:09.970 --> 0:17:13.490 hal is a blow shit up like big fist hal. 0:17:13.230 --> 0:17:15.830 Big that's kind of what we've seen right big gun 0:17:15.890 --> 0:17:16.490 big tank. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.220 Like John is like making shit that works like the. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.580 Round, the round bomb with the fuse. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.940 Exactly. Looney Tunes shit. Acme ass shit. 0:17:28.820 --> 0:17:31.070 So I don't know. I think Hal could maybe do this, 0:17:31.109 --> 0:17:32.810 but maybe not as well as John. And I think 0:17:33.070 --> 0:17:37.490 maybe it would take longer. We'll see. So he gives 0:17:38.250 --> 0:17:42.740 John the ring. John puts it on and acts a 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.970 little surprised. And then he does not do the thing. 0:17:46.070 --> 0:17:46.409 No. 0:17:46.910 --> 0:17:49.270 He maybe thinks about it. There's a pause where he 0:17:49.310 --> 0:17:51.670 thinks about it. But he doesn't do it. He then 0:17:51.750 --> 0:17:55.610 manifests the boring machine. And it tunnels into the ground. 0:17:55.630 --> 0:17:56.590 They're walking behind it. 0:17:56.910 --> 0:18:01.130 Very incredible professional tunnel with no gravel coming down. 0:18:01.190 --> 0:18:02.130 Like, they are safe. 0:18:02.150 --> 0:18:02.770 Very well done. 0:18:03.010 --> 0:18:05.970 John Stewart is an architect. It's just compacted. 0:18:06.130 --> 0:18:08.130 Well, the dirt just, like, disappears. 0:18:08.190 --> 0:18:08.540 Right? 0:18:08.650 --> 0:18:11.540 It's like they're just, like, in a professionally made tunnel. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.500 I love it. They can make a lot of money 0:18:13.540 --> 0:18:13.940 like that. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.859 So they're walking by in the tunneling machine and just 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:22.219 kind of chatting. Jon Stewart, Hal's like, how'd you do this? 0:18:22.300 --> 0:18:24.700 And Jon's like, I went to art school. And Hal's 0:18:25.500 --> 0:18:29.540 kind of surprised. And he asks about his parents. How's 0:18:29.580 --> 0:18:33.680 your mom doing? And Jon's like, she's doing great. How 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.850 is your mom? And he's like, she's dead. And Jon's like, oops, sorry. 0:18:38.310 --> 0:18:41.070 And then Hal Jordan then says, actually, both my parents 0:18:41.109 --> 0:18:46.140 are dead. And Jon asks about them and the dad 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.040 and how Jordan says, you know, my dad was fearless, 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.359 or at least he pretended to be fearless. John asks 0:18:52.420 --> 0:18:54.880 what he was afraid of, Hal completely dodges the question. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.790 They then arrive at the spot, crawl out of the hole, 0:18:59.869 --> 0:19:01.590 and they see what appears to be some kind of 0:19:01.609 --> 0:19:04.710 barracks building there in the distance. They run towards it. 0:19:05.810 --> 0:19:08.409 Big metal door to get in, lots of high-tech security, 0:19:08.510 --> 0:19:13.810 lots of advanced weapons on racks and work tables. The benefactor... 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:18.860 The person helping Macon with these designs must be the Manhunter. 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.300 It must be the Manhunter or some kind of high-tech 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:21.800 space person. 0:19:21.820 --> 0:19:26.460 Yes. Hal Jordan then immediately steps on some kind of 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.980 pressure plate alarm. Jon Stewart is like, okay, what do 0:19:30.340 --> 0:19:33.640 you weigh? 185-ish, Hal says. So he manifests this big 0:19:33.770 --> 0:19:38.070 green weight. And they do like the beginning of Indiana Jones. 0:19:38.270 --> 0:19:40.840 And then they trade off the weight for the foot. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.719 But the alarm goes off. Armed guys come running in 0:19:43.780 --> 0:19:47.209 with these weird lit up guns and these special glasses. 0:19:48.090 --> 0:19:51.670 They then charge at John. and Hal before John can 0:19:51.710 --> 0:19:53.369 do anything with the ring. They shoot this kind of 0:19:53.550 --> 0:19:54.760 smoke vortex at him. 0:19:54.859 --> 0:19:56.629 Essentially like darkness. 0:19:56.670 --> 0:19:59.600 They're basically shooting like darkness at the Green Lantern. So 0:19:59.619 --> 0:20:00.580 they can't use the light. 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.260 You know, Green Lantern's light. It's kind of crazy. 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.440 It's very, very cool. And then they beat up John 0:20:07.460 --> 0:20:11.060 and Hal and take them prisoner. They drag them both 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.260 into Macon's office. Macon is on the phone confirming an 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:19.419 order of 200 head of, we presume, cattle. But we 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:19.760 don't know. 0:20:19.780 --> 0:20:20.680 Yeah, we don't know. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.950 Macon is wearing like a velvet robe. 0:20:23.970 --> 0:20:26.710 This guy is going crazy. 0:20:26.730 --> 0:20:30.109 I gotta say, he's like, this is some funny-ass. 0:20:29.570 --> 0:20:35.270
