Bye.

What the fuck?

It's time to get up, Junior.

What did the Guardian say?

About what?

We got four dead aliens on a football
field.

Another one just blew up half the
sheriff's station.

Oh, yeah, I'm not calling the Guardian.
Then what the fuck are you doing here,

Hal? I'm training you.

really you just take your time what the
fuck are we doing jordan what are you

talking about you've been busting my
balls for a month to learn how to fly

today's the day you're gonna learn we
got a case to work jesus christ almighty

i'm gonna clinch you

ready

Fly. Fly.

Fly.

That's it. Just fly.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. Fly, please.

Look, it's supposed to be instinctual.
Just concentrate.

Me, I'm a fighter pilot. So I've heard.
When I think fly, it's automatic.

So just concentrate.

Think flight.

Great. Thank you.

What the fuck is that?

I think that's a bird, sir.

Why don't you drop that sir bullshit?

We both know you don't mean it. Yeah,
yeah.

Whatever you say.

Ring nearing depletion.

All right, new lead.

Grab it. Give me the ring.

Is there a problem?

Huh.

Huh.

Ring gets low on charge. There's a
one-time trick re-up.

Just gotta... Just gotta hit it flush.

Ring charge 5%. All right.

New flight plan.

Booked your window. I don't understand.

On an airplane.

There's seats near the windows, there's
seats near the aisles, and there's seats

in the middle, too. Nobody wants those.

Look, the point is, I need the lantern
to charge the ring.

I need you to go back to Coast City to
my place and get it.

The address is on the back, and the key
is out front under the rock.

Al, this is already booked.

Wait, so what would you have done if I
could fly? Well, you didn't fly, did

you? So it doesn't really matter. Now
get yourself ready. I need that lantern.

Oh, one more thing. Feed Earl for me,
would you? His food's in the icebox.

And what's Earl? Is it dog, cat?

You know what? And one more training
exercise.

Take that bird with you and bring it
back alive.

You lose concentration, it disappears.
It disappears, you fail.

Don't fail.

And what are you going to be doing?

Enjoying not answering your quest.

We have reached the Rushville Sheriff's
Department.

If it's an emergency, please hang up and
dial 911.

Otherwise, please leave a message and
someone from this department...

There you are.

This ring will soon run out of charge.

Three, two, one.

Were you talking about me?

You were talking about me.

We were just talking about whether to go
ahead with this Friday football game.

Would that be traumatizing or could it
help pull the community together? Coach,

you were about to say something.

Right.

Yeah.

I've been talking to the boys and
they're pretty shook up.

This is also something they've been
working for since two days.

I mean, I guess I wonder what we're
teaching them if we just pack it up and

forfeit.

Good news.

Got the judge to drop your assault
charges.

Well, I appreciate that.

How much is it going to cost me? Oh, no,
it's on the house.

And obviously we're worried.

Good news is you're free to go back to
Coastal City or anywhere else you feel

like going for that matter. What was
everyone talking about when I came in

here?

A lot of people just died here. An alien
blew himself up at the sheriff's

station. That's a lot to process.

Did your wife tell you that alien was
chirping about vengeance before you blew

himself up?

Here's what I'd really like to talk to
you about.

I ended up on that football field
because of a hunch.

Just a gut feeling it was going to be
extraterrestrial.

But your father's men, they shot four
people.

And yet...

Those guy's friend ends up being alien.

Is that a question?

No, it's just a roundabout way of saying
you don't shoot people because of a gut

feeling.

I wouldn't know. No, I'm telling you,
you don't.

Okay. So how is it that your father's
men do go to Target?

You'd have to ask him. I'm asking you as
my attorney, someone who cares about my

well-being and apparently my travel
schedule. We are still talking with

attorney-client privilege, I presume.

Excuse me, honey?

Yes.

I was talking to my husband. Oh, yeah,
of course. If you two are going to keep

talking, I'm going to need Mr. Jordan to
leave. He started it.

I've got about 30 seconds of patience
left.

I only need 40. And I'll be happy to get
them to you when we're done here.

Well, how long is that going to take?

It'll take as long as it takes.

Yeah, I don't think I can keep quiet
that long.

Sorry,

I gotta take this.

As you were.

Talk to me, Junior.

This house is insane.

That's what you called to tell me? No,
no, I can't find the key.

Well, did you look under the rock?

Which rock, pal?

To the left of the door under the bush.

It looks like a potato with a smile, or
frown if I left it upside down.

Potato rock.

How's it going over there?

I get the feeling that everyone wants me
gone.

Kind of.

It makes me feel like I need to stick
around.

It would make you think that. The
lantern's in my closet. You're at the

front door. It's upstairs to the left.

So how much do lanterns get paid anyway?

Not enough.

I can tell you that.

Well, your house makes the difference.

What the hell was that?

Don't worry about it.

I got the house from a rich guy.

Saved his kids. Dad felt like shit
because he couldn't help. I didn't want

to emasculate him anymore, so I... I...

I didn't buy me a house.

So when are you actually going to move
into this place?

What are you talking about?

I've lived in that house for eight
years.

You've got no furniture.

I have a bed.

I found your room.

The landing's in a box in the back of
the closet. Go into the hallway and turn

right.

Hey, do you need me to bring a uniform
back or something?

I'm honest, you're going to teach me how
someone takes a piss in one of those

goddamn things.

I see the box.

Good. It's voice activated, so when you
get it next to you, put me on speaker.

Greetings, Hal Jordan.

To access the vault, please confirm
identity.

Ready. Mogo doesn't socialize.

Open the box. The lantern's in there.

It's pitch black.

It's a pocket dimension, Junior. Just...
Just go around in there and... You'll

find it.

I got it.

Don't forget to feed Earl. The spoons
are on the counter.

Dinner time.

Earl, got your favorite beef and bison.

Hey, Earl, listen, I don't know where
you are, but I'm kind of ready to be

done with this meat.

What the

hell is wrong with you,

Jordan?

What's up, man? Hey, Earl, I'm John,

and I'm here to feed you.

Just don't eat my bird.

Bye.

You know, once upon a time, hamburgers
used to be my thing, too.

Whoa! Hey!

Bird safe.

This is about me not being on the
insurance.

It is pretty much exactly what it looks
like. But in my defense, I wanted to

talk to you about this at the meeting,
and you shushed me.

You're killing me, Jordan. You know
that.

Just a slow, painful death.

There's more going on here than you
realize.

You mean like you're going to the
stadium and dragging these corpses

through the metal detector?

Which you now realize is actually an
alien detector.

Let me rephrase.

You obviously realize exactly what's
going on here.

Congratulations. You've caught up to me.

Now, would you just please let me do my
job?

Is this a good time to talk about
jurisdiction?

Because you seem really hung up on what
was terrestrial and what wasn't. Where

are you going with these guys?

To visit your father-in-law.

May I just say, that is a profoundly bad
idea.

Did he put up those detectors?

He did. Do you know where he got them?

I do not. You're not even curious.

It's not against the law to be obsessed
with aliens.

Trust me, I wish it was. It would make
my marriage a hell of a lot smoother.

Your marriage is unspent? The fact is,
Macon hasn't done anything illegal.

Now, he was cordial when he needed you.
But if you show up today with all your

questions and all your attitude, it is
not going to go well.

What side are you on?

I'll take you, but you let me do the
talking.

Understood?

Well, I don't know if I... Just not.

Follow me.

Hey, Ben. I'd like to be your boss,
please.

I'm afraid he's not accepting visitors.

Yeah, I get that. Absolutely.

You know, sometimes you just gotta
accept things that take you out of your

comfort zone.

Is he speaking for you?

Right now, he's pretty much just
speaking.

This is part of an official
investigation, son.

Is that true?

Evidently. Well, in that case, can I see
your warrant?

Well, look at that. The cavalry. Just in
the nick of time.

I told them you aren't seeing any
visitors.

That's okay, Ben.

Thank you.

You know I'm a fan of your work.

But I confess, I'm confused as to why
you're still in town.

Four aliens are dead, their accomplice
blew himself up, and yet you linger.

That's what your son told me.

But, uh, well, here's what I think.

I think you're hiding something on this
property you don't want me to see. I had

you as a guest here just the other day.
Because you wanted me to prove that that

fella in custody was an alien. Which you
did.

Like I said, I'm a fan of your work, but
your work here is done. Oh, I just need

a minute of your time. I believe you've
had it.

Front gate, 11 o'clock.

Oh, boy, am I about to be threatened?

I got four dead bodies in my car that
set off the hidden camera and alarm.

When I drag them through those metal
detectors, you got set up. stadium there

now i don't want to disparage your small
little town but i've been all over the

galaxy i don't think i've ever seen
technology quite that sophisticated i

told you people who walk this land
before me they got caught flat-footed

when the settlers come in and colonize
them i'm not about to make that same

mistake again and how about that
technology Very generous gift from the

man who funds this property.

Oh, your benefactor? Correct. Tell me
the truth. Is he even real, or is this

some Kaiser Soce situation? Oh, I assure
you, he's very real. And what's his name

again? I'm not at liberty to say.
Because of the NDA.

That's right.

You know, do all cowboys have NDAs, or
are you just a special cowboy?

No, I'm serious.

You got this whole...

Marlboro Man thing happening here, but
yet you can't be straight with me

because of an NDA?

Hell, even that other guy, he was
selling cigarettes to kids, and he still

didn't let those lawyers stop him from
saying whatever the hell he wanted.

I want to know what other technology you
got in this compound.

I think it's important for you to know
there's a man with a rifle in that guard

tower with instructions to shoot anybody
who trespasses on this property.

Well, you can't do that.

Can he do that?

He can absolutely do that.

Well, that just seems unneighborly.

Sheriff.

I'm coming on. You're going to have to
deal with me.

Now, for Christ's sake, I got the ring.

You try to shoot me, and I'm just going
to put up...

I apologize for the violence.

Yeah.

May I ask you a question about the bird,
John Stewart?

Sure. It's a wildly impressive
construct, but how did Hal Jordan

continue to project it from such a great
distance?

He's not projecting it.

I am.

You're not wearing a ring.

Did you tie me up to ask me questions
about my fucking bird? No, I tied you up

to ask you about manhunters.

Sorry, was I supposed to react?

Yeah, you are.

Because you think I know what a
manhunter is? Given your proximity to

Hal Jordan, it'd be very hard to believe
that you do not.

Proximity? You mean closeness.

That's a better word, yes. That's a much
better word.

I see human is in your first language
here.

I'm not even close to close with Hal
Jordan. In fact, he sent me here to get

rid of me, so I'm sorry, gentlemen.

But you're about to torture a man who
doesn't know shit.

I told you not to.

We don't want to torture you, John.

We want to recruit you.

You don't tell someone when you want to
recruit them.

You have to be more subtle.

We don't have time for subtlety, John.

One of the most dangerous beings to ever
exist knows it has been found, which

means right now it is preparing its
brutal response.

Then that's a manhunter.

You think the Green Lanterns came first.
You really don't know. I really don't

know. Well, that makes things much
easier. I don't have to change your

mind. I just need to stab her. What the
fuck do you mean, stab?

Imprint?

Enlighten. I'll need enlightenment.

There was a time of chaos in the galaxy.

Then the Manhunters came.

We don't know where they came from, just
that they were synthetic.

and able to build new bodies which meant
they could take the form of any species

and embed undetected within any society.

This ability to build allowed them to
invent technologies far beyond the

limits of the planets they inhabited.

They were brutal.

They were deceptive.

They carried out what they called
justice.

Entire species were lost.

And as mysteriously as they arrived,
they were gone.

At least we thought they were gone.

In reality, one of them remained on our
planet, passing as one of us while he

quietly engineered a holocaust.

Have you ever been deceived by someone
you love?

Yeah. Then you'll understand when you
experience what he did to us.

I'm sorry, but you need to see.

This is what it looks like when a
Manhunter destroys your people.

John, do you see what it feels like?

See it!

Do you see what it did to them, John? Do
you see it?

See it!

The effects of our collective loss will
remain with you for some time.

I'm sorry.

A scale of our tragedy drew the
attention of a green lantern sent by the

Guardians.

The lantern took the monster into his
custody and guaranteed he'd be executed.

Why?

I do not know.

It does not matter, but we believe
somewhere the Manhunter was still alive.

So we searched.

John, we searched for years.

Until finally we discovered where he was
hiding.

Rushville. Our detection is limited.

There's radiation unique to the
Manhunter, though he could be disguised

as any human to find out which we had to
get close.

But our team was exposed and killed.

And who should arrive an hour later?

Jada.

Do you think he was trying to protect
the thing?

Perhaps. Our target knows we've located
him.

We cannot enter Rushville without being
detected.

So you... You must identify the man,
Hunter.

How the fuck am I supposed to do that?
You bird.

This bird is proof you can achieve the
impossible.

Now, we could fulfill our mission by
walking into the town square and

detonating ourselves, but that would
destroy Rushville.

No reason for innocent lives to be lost.

Because it took a human form, it could
be killed as a human.

We have 48 hours, John.

Find the Manhunter.

Once you do, contact us.

If you fail to contact me, I've got it.

Hey there.

They shot me.

You were trespassing.

Might as well have walked onto that
ranch with a sign that said, shoot me.

How are you feeling?

All right.

A little sore.

How long have I been out?

Not too long. They cleared you to go.

Just wanted you to sleep off the
anesthesia.

So,

what's with Sinestro?

Why are you asking me that?

You kept saying his name in your sleep.

I'm not authorized to talk about that.

Not exactly top secret.

It says here he was a lantern, attempted
a coup, killed one of the bosses.

It also says you were the one who took
him down.

Except that you do.

In your sleep.

You gotta be kidding me.

Like I said, you were trespassing.

In the name of Tom Osborne or whoever it
is that you worship, please take these

off. Not until you listen to me.

Can you manage that?

Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Because every time you don't listen or
you steal bodies or storm my father-in

-law's compound and don't let me do the
talking, what you're really doing is

cutting my legs straight out from under
me.

I'm the sheriff.

If you don't follow my lead, you're
legitimizing this idea that Macon is the

seat of power. And trust me, you do not
want to help push that narrative.

This is my town.

I have worked my ass off to earn
people's respect, and I can't have you

undermining that.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

You're wrong.

So you're going to go back to your motel
and let me do my job?

No more storming the compound?

I swear on Tom Osborne's life.

And for the record, I'm not on your
side.

I'm not on Macon's side. I'm on my side.

I'm trying to hold this town together.

I ask you a question.

If I knew about the alien detectors, why
did I fight you on jurisdiction?

Does make a guy wonder.

The others were dead.

I assumed if Waylon didn't set off the
alarm, he wasn't an alien.

I was wrong.

It happens.

It shouldn't. Look, I apologize for
trying to obstruct you.

I just didn't want Billy's dad
insurrecting the shit out of everyone

and getting them all paranoid about
invasion.

So much for that plan.

Thanks for being straight with me.

Thanks for not dying in my jurisdiction.

My turn for a question.

Why am I still in town? The threat's
over.

It does make a girl wonder.

Something is off here.

I can feel it.

Why do you want me gone?

Everything feels like it's about to
explode for no good reason.

This place is losing its mind.

You kicking up dust and getting shot
isn't helping.

If I need you, I can call.

You were at my bedside.

It's a great book.

It's hard to find time to read with a
kid at home.

Where are you from, anyway?

You decided to actually make nights, and
that's the best you got?

Where are you from?

Well, you don't exactly scream
Rushville.

You're a snob.

That doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I'm from Gotham, which you're on a whim.

That sounds like a story.

Doesn't it?

That's all I'm going to get?

Pretty much.

I'll take it for now.

Because you're not leaving.

You didn't hear a word I said in there,
did you?

Oh, I heard a few of them. Where are all
the patients?

It's a small town, not exactly a big
patient pool.

Half the equipment looks like it was
just taken out of the crate.

Yeah, well, most everyone's smart enough
not to get themselves shot.

Hey,

can I get a decaf, please? Thank you.

Small town, bound to happen.

Yeah. The booths are more comfortable.

It's been a long day. I'm just trying to
clear my head for a second.

Fair enough.

Thank you.

For the record, I wouldn't have slept
with you if I knew you were married.

Well, I'm glad you didn't know.

You into that kind of thing?

What kind of thing is that?

I mean, is your relationship
unconventional?

You have met my husband, right?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. What do you think?

Uh, respectfully, I think he's pretty
fucking weird. Oh.

Yeah, that he is. Deeply so. I think
he's pretty fucking weird, but you're

not.

How can you be so sure?

I see you.

Um, I don't think you would do anything
without thinking about it first.

You know? White men have the privilege
of being eccentric.

White men with money.

They can do whatever the fuck they want.

Play cowboy, build castles.

Do you like that?

Yeah. I like the security.

I also like that he could have brought
some blonde member from Texas to be his

arm candy, but he wanted me.

I'm sure a lot of people want you.

Not now.

If I could give me what he has.

It's a lot to deal with, I know, but...

But it's worth it, I think.

When I need a break, I just take one.

So you'll put up with some deeply weird
white man with a savior complex just to

live the life?

No, I'm with my husband because I love
him.

And I know he loves me.

Hey, how's your white man?

Uh, how is he?

He wanted me out the way, so he sent me
to fetch his things.

Is that why you were trying to clear
your head over there?

I'm just trying to figure out if I can
trust him.

If you have to ask the question, then
you already know the answer.

What happened to you?

Your girlfriend's husband sicked one of
you sniper types on me. Oh.

Shoulder? Mm-hmm.

Through and through?

Yeah, it's a nice warning shot.

Good to know you're a fan of his work.

Yeah.

Told

you

not to bring the suit.

Yeah, well, maybe I couldn't bring
myself to just disrespect it. What else

were you doing when you were rummaging
through my stuff?

Dance around my bathrobe, sing into my
hairbrush?

Brightest day and blackest night. No
evil shall escape my sight, but those

who worship evils might be where my
power green lanterns light.

There's something on that compound.

The benefactor's the key. I'm not
leaving here until we find out who he is

and what they're hiding.

Whatever you say.

You might want to check the fine print
on that insurance policy.

What the hell's all over the seats?

I believe technically they call that
alien goo.

What do you know about Manhunters?

Where'd you hear that word? Our buddy
Waylon had friends.

They followed me onto the plane,
snatched me outside of your house.

They're convinced there's a Manhunter
here in Rushville.

So what did they want with you?

They want me to eye-deal and give them a
call in 48 hours.

Otherwise, they'll blow up half of
western Nebraska.

Why you?

Because they don't trust you. In fact,
he made it explicit that I shouldn't

tell you any of this. What else?

Just that he thinks the Guardians may
have hit the man on the air.

They wouldn't do that. Oh, shit, that's
what I said.

I knew there was something about this
place, and my gut is never wrong.

I haven't served Mr. Brodom here, and
the man on her killed him.

Yeah, and then you got your ring.

What else can you tell me about
Manhunters?

It's above your pay grade, Junior. No,
it's not.

I told you he was here.

Oh, so now Mr. Chain of Command wants me
to break the rules? No, they don't know

what form he's taken. He could be anyone
in town.

What else did they say to you?

You know, just that, um...

To create a living thing, let alone
keeping it alive while not wearing the

ring, is so advanced that it's
practically impossible. But I figured

that couldn't be true, because if it
was, you would have at least given me a

hoorah.

Hoorah.

48 hours, huh?

Yeah. 48.

You tell the Guardians any of this?

I report to you.

Hey. What?

What's with that bird, anyway?

What are you talking about?

The bird. I mean, you brought to life
with your subconscious.

It must mean something pretty deep. It's
just a bird.

Authorized help, Jordan.

Access granted.

Sinastro.

Tell me what you know about Manhunters.

No, hello.

No, how have I been?

Hello, Sinestro. How have you been?

How the fuck do you know about
Manhunters?

If one still existed, they'd be the
second greatest threat you're currently

facing.

Why don't you tell me about Jon Stewart?

She takes my hand and she pours me a
glass. I think she's on her feet so I

get a pass.

I want to feel something again.

She takes my hand and she asks me to
dance.

Nothing really matters if you don't have
romance. I want to feel something again.

Take me out into what's-your-business.
Be the bad guy, but I believe in

forgiveness. Want to do something that
matters.

Take a meeting because it lacks
ambition.

I'm not optimistic, no, I'm just
ambitious. Want to be someone that

matters.

It's all just a myth. You want to keep
me content and not a super bitch. And

they got you convinced that ignorance is
less than. You can never change. You

want to raise your human condition.

I don't have time to worry about if I

am adopted.
