Original subtitles

[Kory] Previously on Titans...

-We must prepare for the journey ahead. -What's next?

Next, we bring back your father.

It's from Lex. He must have planted it here to help us.

-[Nightwing] Can you read that? -No. It's an ancient Tamaranean dialect.

I definitely know someone who can.

We need your help.

So there is a fulsome son of Trigon

manifested in the Well of Blood here on our Earth?

-And he has the Horn? -What horn?

The one Trigon lost in his early battles with the first Tamaranean.

And how do we stop him?

You don't. She does.

But it will end you.

Lex just gave us the location of the Horn.

-What the hell? -[Bernard] Where did they go?

[Dick] Thanks.

[gasps]

-[Dick] What was that? -She's afraid.

-Of us? - I think so.

Dick Grayson.

Dave Carter.

-Where are your friends? -I don't know.

Don't get up. Don't even move.

Your friend, the son of Trigon, where is he?

-How would I know? -You better start telling us the truth.

-How'd you get into town then? -I'm the daughter of Trigon.

I have to show you something.

-Try it yourself. -[Dick] They don't want us to leave.

Maybe we need to get the Horn in order to get out.

Sheriff Carter invited me for drinks tonight.

I think he has the Horn.

[coughs]

-Hey, what's going on? -I don't know.

Something's happening to me. I feel strange.

Take it easy, old Teddy.

Things are gonna be a lot sunnier from now on.

[Vinnie on radio] 98.6 BLUD. You're with Vinnie Peruzzi,

counting down the all-time smooth operators.

Be the tenth caller, and Patricia will give you a ride

on the human margarita mixer.

Ay, caramba!

Baby, I'm-a want you

Baby, I'm-a need you

You're the only one I care enough to hurt about

Maybe I'm-a crazy

But I just can't live without

Your loving and affection...

What the fuck?

Where the fuck? How did we--

-I'm asking you. -I don't know.

Who put these on me?

-Same person who put these on me. -You don't remember?

All I remember is being surrounded by the sheriff and his guys.

[sighs]

Sebastian and his mother too.

I remember you walking me to the RV. I wasn't feeling well.

Fuck. They must have drugged us.

[sighs]

We didn't...

-No. -Are you sure?

No. But I assume--

-I'm assuming that too. -Assume what?

-That nothing happened. -Nothing.

[sighs]

[turns off radio]

[song continues over town speakers]

Hello?

[bell tolling]

[all chattering indistinctly]

[Mother Mayhem] Parenting is zealotry.

It's fanatical, uncompromising, and let's be honest, exhausting.

When I was looking for a community to help me,

Caul's Folly rose to the occasion.

You guarded the Horn for me and my son,

waiting patiently all these years to see the fruit of your labors.

Lions' hearts get hidden in the most unlikely places.

Well... look what I found.

[all cheering and applauding]

My whole life,

I always wanted a family.

Someone to protect me from the world.

From myself.

But I never felt as though I belonged...

until I came here.

I finally know who I'm supposed to be.

It's time.

[grunts softly]

-[yells] -[all cheering and applauding]

Brother Blood! Brother Blood! Brother Blood!

[Mother Mayhem] Before we leave, there's one last detail.

The girl who came yesterday, the one they call Raven,

claims to be the daughter of Trigon.

-Heretic! -[all] Heretic! Heretic!

Yes, yes, a heretic,

who could sabotage everything we have built together.

I'm thinking of a solution.

Can anyone help me?

Kill the heretic.

[all chanting] Kill the heretic! Kill the heretic! Kill the heretic!

[chanting continues]

[birds squawking]

[people chattering indistinctly]

Well, hello there, little bird.

[squawking continues]

Got a lead on the heretic. Follow the ravens.

[Megan] Rachel?

[theme music playing]

[music playing on stereo]

[Dick] There's half a quart of milk in here.

And some leftovers.

Swedish meatballs.

Dick.

[man over coffee machine] It's 8:27.

Time to caffeinate with the one you love.

It's set on a timer.

Apparently, we live here.

What?

Looks like somebody air brushed us in.

-Why? -[phone ringing]

Hello.

[man] Teddy, how are you?

-Who's this? -Hey, can you cover my shift tomorrow?

-I need some Janet time. -[Kory sighs]

Sorry. I think you have the wrong number.

[man chuckles] Always the jokester. Thanks.

Hey, see you on the links, Long Ball.

[call disconnects]

Who was that?

Some guy looking for Teddy.

Teddy?

"Ted...

and Carol."

[sighs] Someone had their hands on me last night, on both of us.

They drugged us and tucked us in.

They could've slit our throats.

-Looks like they want us to play house. -I'm not playing.

-When was the last time you saw Rachel? -Yesterday. At the diner.

Let's find her and get out of here.

Where's the RV?

Cute.

Where was she?

The sheriff found her hiding in someone's barn.

We can leave now. They'll take care of her.

I don't want to leave. I want to see her.

Don't get squishy on me.

- I need to kill her myself. -She's no longer your concern.

[Sebastian] She is my concern. She's my last weakness.

I need to sever ties with her.

You can't do that.

And who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?

-You don't understand. - I do understand.

You don't know me.

Sebastian.

I had a feeling that you'd still be here.

You've gone through so many changes.

Nobody knows what that's like.

Except me.

Stop talking.

Your pain is my pain, Sebastian.

It lives in me.

Not anymore.

[Rachel grunts]

Sorry, Rachel.

But this ends here.

Don't be so sure.

-[Sebastian grunts] -[Rachel grunts]

[Rachel breathing heavily]

-[Sebastian grunts] -[Rachel grunts]

If you kill me... I take you with me.

You can't hurt me without hurting yourself.

Sebastian, she knew this.

She knew what would happen if you tried to kill me.

She's keeping things from you.

That's not true.

Ask her what happens when you blow the Horn.

That's enough!

You don't even know him.

-Who? -Trigon.

You're nothing to him.

You're nothing to her.

Your mother used you, like mine did, to get closer to him.

You're wrong.

She wants you to think that you're a God,

but you're a tool, Sebastian.

As soon as you let him in,

you'll be a nobody again.

I am not nobody.

What?

[knife clangs]

[winces]

[breathing shakily]

Thanks, brother.

My son couldn't kill her...

but you people can.

Yes, Mom.

[engine revving]

[Vinnie on radio] 98.6 BLUD.

Counting down the old-school, new-school classics.

Turn it off. It's fucking annoying.

[music playing on stereo]

It will go off in a moment.

Just wait and see

I'll never...

[Vinnie on radio] It's Vinnie Peruzzi with the Caul's Folly weather report.

Partly cloudy and mild for the rest of the day...

Just you wait and see

I'll never be...

[woman] Oh, hey, Ted, Carol.

I missed you at church this morning.

Heard you were off at the driving range.

Ted's got his own religion. [chuckles]

Three buckets of balls and a Hail Mary?

That's why they call me Long Ball.

[Megan] Regular spot, guys?

-Sure. Thank you. -Sure. Thank you.

Look, Tyler's serving your favorite, the hash.

Yours too, Carol, toad in the hole.

Think the toad's fresh?

Fresh frozen, like always.

Excuse me, miss.

Um, did you happen to know

where the young woman we were with yesterday is?

Sorry, haven't seen her.

Uh, are you looking for the heretic?

The who?

[woman] You should have been at church. It was a honey of a homily.

Now, all that's left to do is Kill the girl

and celebrate His coming.

-Rachel. - I think we skip breakfast.

We gotta talk to Sheriff Carter. Find out what happened at the Church.

[Vinnie on radio] It's another day in paradise,

where the rum is spiced twice,

the hammocks hold ice, and the moonlight feels

[distorted] all right.

[distorted music playing]

[both gasping]

Here's your coffee.

Did you just--

-Forgot where I was for a second. -And what we were doing.

Don't sleep on the specials.

Dick.

-What do you know about Rachel? -We need to hurry.

Get in the van. Now.

Fuck!

Get in the goddamn van!

I'm not messing around.

[Megan] We don't know. She was in our barn.

Who are you?

-Who are you? -[Megan] He can't hear you.

-He's deaf. -Deaf?

[Megan] We both are.

Then how do you know what we're saying?

[Jacob gasps]

We're lip readers.

[Dick] We're tired of playing games. What the fuck is going on?

We took her to our barn.

We wanted to find out what you were up to.

Now, either she got out on her own, or somebody got her this morning.

Probably felt it already.

First, you forget where you are, then who you are.

It's just the beginning.

A couple hours, whoever you two are won't exist anymore.

You'll be somebody else.

And once you're gone, you don't come back.

Some kind of drug?

Listen.

[music playing indistinctly]

[Megan] It never stops.

Speakers everywhere, like they're connected to their sacred Horn.

[Jacob] The music washes away the old you.

Pretty soon, she'll look over at you, and you'll be a stranger.

Look behind your ears.

[song continues playing]

[Jacob] They must have got you both last night.

Installed a receiver that swims right to your hippocampus.

So, why doesn't it work on you two?

I think I covered that.

We're deaf.

Our little secret here.

Megan lost her hearing IN a swimming accident when she was ten.

And mine was self-induced.

Self-induced?

[Jacob] I don't want to forget my life, my children.

They destroyed everything else, our whole town.

Burned it to the ground and turned it into

an inter-dimensional bank vault for their Horn.

At least that's over.

-Over? -Yeah. They got the Horn this morning.

Left town about an hour ago.

If they blow that thing and I'm not there...

We will be. We're gonna find Ra--

[music playing]

There's something better inside of me

Dick, you okay?

Yeah.

Cooking syringe and a bottle of gin makes the music stop.

We're going to get some earplugs. Come on.

[Jacob] Earplugs, candle wax, tin foil, nothing works.

I have another idea.

-[Bernard] Hey. -Hey.

[Bernard] We gotta go.

Good morning.

I finally located Starfire's spectral signature.

Spectral signature?

Yeah. Even when she sleeps, she gives off a geo-magnetic pulse.

It's like, um, solar flares.

-Is she close? -[Bernard] Yeah.

Couple miles up the road, there's this little town...

Caul's Folly?

It's a mining town. Burned down, like, ten years ago.

What's she doing there?

Well, finish getting dressed, then we can go find out.

I got you some avocado toast.

Thanks.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Fire must not have reached the radio station.

[device whirring]

[device beeping]

I'm still reading traces of Kory.

[device beeping]

I think this was part of the old Rural Radio Network.

It's got 670-L crystal relay receivers. They could've reached listeners

-100 miles away with this equipment. -Wait, wait, wait.

[muffled music playing in distance]

Well I've never been to heaven

But I've been To Oklahoma

People tell me I was born there...

[device beeping]

In Oklahoma

Not Arizona

What does it matter?

Hey, man.

-[turns volume down] -What's going on?

Not much.

What you doing out here?

Waiting for my dad.

Rachel is in trouble, and you bought toys?

Recorders. All I could find.

This was your big idea?

Bruce trained me for this mind washing thing

in case he and Constantine had a row.

[sighs in exasperation]

We don't need a Bruce mind trick right now.

We need to find Rachel.

It's one of his deepest fears, losing his identity, his mission,

which can happen to us if we don't do this.

Do what?

Record some memories.

They're a map of who we are.

A map we can use to find our way back if we get lost.

Memories?

Shittier the better.

Dick...

This is some peak daddy bullshit,

and you fall for it every time.

Painful memories are more vivid.

They'll center you, make you impenetrable,

help drown out the music.

- It could work. - It could work if you're a psychopath!

[scoffs]

Sebastian and his mother have the Horn.

You know what that means, right?

I know.

It's worth a try.

Memories, huh?

The more painful, the better.

Goes with your outfit, Ted.

Thanks, Carol.

[Vinnie on radio] 98.6 BLUD. Don't touch that dial.

We're in the middle of a sonic boom-shaka-laka.

It's yours truly, Vinnie Peruzzi,

playing the sugary sweet sounds guaranteed to rot your brain.

[recorder clicks]

[Kory sighs]

My name is Kory Anders.

My name is Dick Grayson.

I'm 13 years old.

My life gets turned upside down.

[Kory] I was with my grandfather when he died.

His feet started shaking and he grabbed me.

I lose both of my parents,

and move in with Bruce Wayne.

It made me want to fly into space, and never come back.

That's when I realized my life would never be the same.

[Kory] When we were in Gotham, after so much death,

they told me Dick died too.

Sometimes you don't know how you feel about someone until they're gone.

Could you zip me?

Do you want to talk about it?

The sex?

Which part would you like to talk about?

[Dick scoffs]

Okay then. All good.

[clicks recorder off]

[vacuum cleaner whirring]

What're you doing?

They really should be steamed.

What?

I'll call a service tomorrow.

[giggles]

Look, we should really get to Rachel.

Who's Rachel?

[music continues playing]

I was away at camp when the fire happened.

Drum and Bugle Corps camp.

The radio station is...

Is the only thing that survived.

You come out here a lot?

Every day.

-For ten years? -Yeah.

It sounds crazy, but I...

I can feel my dad and sister here.

-I don't get it. -What?

The reading that I had on Starfire, it went dead.

-Does that mean-- -We should go back to the Lab.

We'll find a different way to track her.

I'm gonna stay.

-Stay? - I think William's onto something.

-Said he can feel them out there. -Tim, we're wasting time.

My mom used to have this feeling.

She used to call them her Sun Dogs.

-Her Sun Dogs were never wrong. -Look.

I understand that we're just getting to know each other.

I can't use Sun Dogs. I need data.

I'm not leaving.

-My friends are still out there. -I'm trying to find them too.

And I will. I just need the right tools.

William's got a feeling. And I'm gonna... We should trust it.

I don't trust feelings.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna go back to the hotel. The wi-fi's decent there

and I can get back on the S.T.A.R. Labs server.

How am I gonna get back? There's no cell service out here.

Maybe a Sun Dog Uber will appear.

Really?

You know where to find me.

[door opens and closes]

[Dick] Kory?

Carol?

[Kory] Yeah, just give me a second...Done.

I need you to listen to this now.

Okay.

Okay.

[Kory on recorder] I was with my grandfather when he died.

His feet started shaking, and he grabbed me.

He told me not to let him fall into the death hole, but I did.

[recorder clicks]

Sound familiar?

Ted, I feel like we should have turkey burgers for dinner.

My name's not Ted, and you're not Carol.

Did I do something wrong?

[sighs]

No.

It was me.

I fucked up.

-I don't understand. -I know.

[birds squawking]

Oh, shit.

[Kory] What is it?

I got to go.

Ted.

Please don't leave me.

I would never leave you.

What are we doing here?

I'm gonna drop something in the collection basket.

Seeing as how we missed this morning.

Oh.

Brother Blood be with you.

[birds squawking]

Give her back.

Teddy. Old man.

-Where is she? -How about you relax?

Maybe understand what's on the line here.

Walking away from the old you is going to be liberating.

All your disappointments, failures, losses,

they aren't yours anymore.

I'll give you one more chance.

You should be grateful.

She decided to convert you.

Make you part of her church instead of killing you.

She sees real promise.

You could play an important role in our future.

[Vinnie on radio] 98.6 BLUD.

It's Vinnie Peruzzi, with a shoutout to Ted and Carol,

who just keep holding on.

[music playing]

[grunts softly]

[winces]

[door opens]

[Rachel] Are you sure you want to do that?

Killing Trigon's only daughter might not be the best idea.

I've got the mark on my back if you want to take a look.

-[gun cocking] -Not my problem.

Might be when, uh, Trigon returns.

[Sheriff Carter] I gotta give it to you. You held on longer than most.

But Vinnie... he told me not to worry.

-[Dick grunts] -[Sheriff Carter screams]

[both grunting]

[Dick grunts]

Just kill her and get it over with.

-She's got the mark of Trigon. -She's a heretic, like Mother said.

Look truth is, doesn't matter who pulls the trigger.

You're both going down.

[Dick grunts]

[officers grunting]

[officer shrieks]

[gun firing]

[gunshots echoing in distance]

Sheriff wants to kill her, he can do it himself.

Jesus.

[whistles]

Don't point that thing at me, asshole.

I won't. Just put your gun away. Let's get out of here.

[both grunting]

[gun fires]

-Did somebody die and make you the boss? -Put the fucking gun down!

Okay.

Keep on running...

[gun fires]

Motherfucker.

[breathing heavily]

[groans]

Took you a while. Where's Kory?

That's a long story.

What do you mean, "She's not herself'?

Exactly what I said.

They did something to her, wiped her memories.

[horn honking]

They opened up the armory.

They're coming after ya. The whole town.

Where's the radio station?

-You don't want to do that. -Just tell us!

Nobody's ever come back.

If you don't tell us now, you'll never get out of here.

Go on up the road. A couple miles.

You'll see the transmitter lights.

Radio station?

We gotta stop this music.

[Bernard] I know. I know. You are wondering,

"How'd I find a physicist

"so patient and reasonable and intellectually flexible?"

Yeah.

But I'm also wondering why you have an extension cord with you.

I had a Sun Dog moment.

My version of one anyways.

You and William, you're having feelings.

And feelings aren't magic, they're real.

So maybe your friends are out there, just in a different dimension.

We may be in the same place as they are.

We just can't see them.

You did have a Sun Dog moment.

And if there is another dimension, I think I can get a signal through.

A signal?

Sound waves have been known to be able to cross temporal planes.

So I think we can get some through if we simply turn up the decibels.

Did you just say pump up the volume, Bernard?

Sort of. Yes.

Um, my car, it's electric.

It's basically a gigantic battery. I can plug it into the aux unit.

Here we go.

[exhales deeply]

Whoa!

Can I play a song?

You can play an entire set.

-[song starts] -Uh, Dad, Megan...

if you're out there...

Say the ladies are insane there...

this one's for you.

And they sure know How to use it

-[radio tower warbling] -[song playing faintly]

[footsteps approaching]

Did you find them?

Um...

They're headed out to the station.

Dad, didn't you tell them?

I told them.

-[warbling] -[song playing faintly]

Well, I've never been to England

What?

But I kinda like The Beatles

We're gonna sing? Now?

I was headed for Las Vegas

But only made it out to Needles

Can't you feel it?

You must believe it

"Cause it feels so good

I can hear it... in my head.

It's William. He's out there.

That's impossible.

Come on.

We're not supposed to be here, Ted.

-Nobody's allowed. -[Dick] We won't be long.

You should just stay here.

Be careful, Ted.

[distorted music playing]

Hey, Dick.

Stay with me.

-Let's move. -Okay.

[music continues]

Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love

I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did

[door opens]

Jesus.

Looks like somebody lives here.

I can see her lyin' back

In her satin dress

In a room where you do What you don't confess

Sundown...

[Dick on recorder] After she walked out,

all I could think was how I should've told her how I feel.

But if you'd like to talk about the other stuff, we can.

I'll do one last check of the perimeter, then turn in for the night.

[Dick on recorder] I was so close.

Instead, I let her walk away.

[recorder clicks]

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better When I'm feelin' no pain...

You know, I think Carol was right.

We really shouldn't be here.

Hey! [snaps fingers]

No.

[door opens]

-[grunting] -[Rachel] Hey!

-[men grunting] -Stop it!

[groans]

[Rachel] Dick.

Dick, it's me, Rachel from Detroit, remember?

[men grunting]

[man screaming]

[men grunting]

[Rachel] You're the boy from the circus, remember?

[man grunting]

Are we back?

Yeah, we're back.

Turn it off.

[Vinnie on radio] 98.6 BLUD.

And the Bionic Boogie playing the smoothest rock classics.

Sometimes I think It's a shame

When I get feelin' better...

Dick.

I think the tubes are filled with blood.

You better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'Round my back stairs

Sundown...

[song distorting]

[all gasping]

Sometimes I think...

Turn it off.

Don't.

Sundown You better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'Round my back stairs...

-[song distorting] -Please don't.

-[song stops] -Dick!

Dick!

It stopped.

I think he's trying to say something.

[Vinnie] You're too late. The Horn is gone.

And soon, He will come.

[groans]

Let's get out of here.

-What is happening? -Power surge.

-Everybody out! Now! -William!

[warbling]

Dad?

Megan.

I knew you were here.

[Jacob] It's over. It's finally over.

Rachel.

Where's Dick and Kory?

Kory!

It could have been so beautiful.

[grunts]

Dick Grayson?

Kory Anders?

What happened?

I thought I lost you.

I used your recorder trick.

Painful memories.

Works every time.

Wasn't the painful ones.

[Tim] Welcome back to reality.

How'd you find us?

Tim had a Sun Dog.

-[Kory] What's that? -Just a hunch.

Instincts. Robin instincts.

What happened in there?

Can we just get the hell out of here? I think we got a Horn to catch.

Heard from the others?

Nothing from Gar or Conner.

We should get back on the road, try and send a message.

Dick.

[Dick] Let's go.

[Tim] You look good in pink.

[chuckles] Hey.

[Dick] Got a spare T-shirt in that bag?

[server] A friend sent you this, sir.

What are we toasting?

To the future.

[theme music playing]
