[man] Bruce Vayne.
Bruce Wayne.
[speaking Icelandic]
[speaks Icelandic]
[in English] Talk.
I believe there is a stranger.
Comes to this village
from the sea.
He comes in the winter
when the people are hungry.
He brings fish.
He comes on the king tide.
That was last night.
[Arthur speaking Icelandic]
[in English]
You have eyes, so see.
Icebergs in the harbor.
It's four months since
the last ship got through.
Well, this stranger
doesn't come by ship.
[speaking Icelandic]
[in English] There are enemies
coming from far away.
I need warriors.
This stranger, others like him.
 -3-

I'm building an alliance

to defend ourselves.
It's very important
that I see this man.
If this stranger exists,
he'll give him your message.
$5,000 American.
Look, I'll give you $25,000
to talk to this man
right now, outside.
[speaking Icelandic]
[laughing]
[villagers laughing]
[in English] How dare this dog
speak to us like children.
Ooh, magical man from the sea.
We are poor, not stupid.
Get out.
I'm sorry.
Can't do that.
I'll leave after we've spoken.
He said, "Get out."
[speaks Icelandic]
[both grunt]
- [villagers exclaim]
- [Arthur breathes heavily]
Arthur Curry.
Also known as
Protector of the Oceans.
The Aquaman.
[birds calling]
[Arthur] So, let me
get this straight.
You do it dressed like a bat?
Like an actual bat?
Worked for 20 years in Gotham.

Oh, that shithole.

When the fight comes,
we'll need you.
- Don't count on it, Batman.
- Why not?
'Cause I don't like you coming
here, digging into my business
and getting into my life.
I want to be left alone.
Is that why you do this?
Why you help these people out
here in the middle of nowhere?
I've read the stories.
Your good deeds
you think no one sees.
You'll join us.
"Strong man
is strongest alone."
You ever heard that?
[Bruce] You ever hear
of Superman?
He died fighting next to me.
My point exactly.
He believed
we were stronger together.
We owe it to him.
I don't owe anyone anything.
Dressed like a bat.
You're out of your mind,
Bruce Wayne.
[woman singing folk song
in Icelandic]
[women singing along]
[women continue singing]
[women continue singing]
Move over, Dusty.

[exhales sharply]
[Dusty whines]
[engine starts]
[Alfred] My God, Master Wayne,
but this is cold.
Maybe we can catch
the next king tide in Jamaica?
Might be
a metahuman or two in Fiji.
Costa Rica's nice.
I found him.
He said no.
So the draft stands
at naught for two?
Maybe a man who broods
in a cave for a living
isn't cut out to be
a recruiter. Hmm?
That's $10, please.
