"What does yöur gut tell yöu?" "Zod can't be trusted." "The problem is I'm not sure the people of Earth can be either." "LEONE:" "Sometimes yöu have to take a leap of faith first." "The trust part comes later." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "All right. yöu've got our attention." "What is it yöu want?" "I would like to speak to Lois Lane." "SWANWICK:" "What makes yöu think she's here?" "Don't play games with me, general." "I'll surrender, but only if yöu guarantee Lois's freedom." "LOIS:" "Why are yöu surrendering to Zod?" "I'm surrendering to mankind." "There's a difference." "yöu let them handcuff yöu?" "Wouldn't be much of a surrender if I resisted." "And if it makes them feel more secure then all the better for it." "What's the S stand for?" "(SIGHS)" "It's not an S."

"I know, I can see yöur ID tag in yöur breast pocket." "Along with a half-eaten roll of Lifesavers." "I can also see the soldiers in the next room preparing that tranquilizing agent of yöurs." "yöu won't need it." "Sir, yöu can't expect us to not take precautions." "yöu could be carrying some kind of alien pathogen." "Been here for 33 years, doctor." " Haven't infected anyone yet." " That yöu know of." "We have legitimate security concerns. yöu revealed yöur identity to Miss Lane over there." "Why won't yöu do the same with us?" "Let's put our cards on the table here, general." "yöu're scared because yöu can't control me." "yöu don't, and yöu never will." "But that doesn't' mean I'm yöur enemy." "Then who is?" "Zod?" "That's what I'm worried about." "Be that as it may I've been given orders to hand yöu over to him." "Do what yöu have to do, general." "Thank yöu." "For what?" "For believing in me." "Didn't make much difference in the end." "It did to me." "(SONIC BOOM)" "They're coming." "yöu should leave now." "Go, Lois." "FAORA:" "Kal-El." "I'm sub-commander Faora-UI." "On behalf of General Zod, I extend yöu his greetings." " Are yöu the ranking officer here?" " I am." "General Zod would like this woman to accompany me." "HARDY: yöu asked for the alien." "yöu didn't say anything about one of our own." "Shall I tell the general yöu're unwilling to comply?" "I don't care what yöu tell him." "LOIS:" "It's all right." "I'll go." "The atmospheric composition on our ship is not compatible with humans." "yöu need to wear a breather beyond this point." "Kal-El." "yöu have no idea how long we've been searching for yöu." "I take it yöu're Zod?" "General Zod." " Our commander." " It's all right, Faora." "We can forgive Kal any lapses in decorum." "He's a stranger to our ways." "This should be cause for celebration, not conflict." "SUPERMAN:" "Unh." "ZOD:" "Not conflict." "(GRUNTING)" "SUPERMAN:" "I feel strange." "(SUPERMAN COUGHING)" "SUPERMAN:" "Weak." "LOIS:" "What's happening to him?" "ZOD:" "He's rejecting our ship's atmospherics." "LOIS:" "Clark."

"(GRUNTING)" "Help him." "Help him." "ZOD:" "Hello, Kal." "Or do yöu prefer Clark?" "That's the name they gave yöu." "Isn't it?" "I was Krypton's military leader yöur father our foremost scientist." "The only thing we agreed on was that Krypton was dying." "In return for my efforts to protect our civilization and save our planet I and my fellow officers were sentenced to the Phantom Zone." "ZOD:" "And then the destruction of our world freed us." "We were adrift, destined to float amongst the ruins of our planet until we starved." "CLARK:" "How did yöu find yöur way to Earth?" "ZOD:" "We managed to retrofit the phantom projector into a hyperdrive." "yöur father made a similar modification to the craft that brought yöu here." "And so the instrument of our damnation became our salvation." "We sought out the old colonial outposts looking for signs of life." "But all we found was death." "Cut off from Krypton, these outposts withered and died long ago." "We salvaged what we could armor, weapons even a world engine." "For 33 years we prepared until finally we detected a distress beacon which yöu triggered when yöu accessed the ancient scout ship." "yöu led us here, Kal." "Now it's within yöur power to save what remains of yöur race." "On Krypton the genetic template for every being yet to be born is encoded in the registry of citizens." "yöur father stole the registry's Codex and stored it in the capsule that brought yöu here." "For what purpose?" "So that Krypton can live again on Earth." "Where is the Codex, Kal?" "If Krypton lives again what happens to Earth?" "The foundation has to be built on something." "Even yöur father recognized that." "No, Zod." "I can't be a part of this." "Then what can yöu be a part of?" "No!" "Zod!" "No!" "No!" "(SHACKLES CLANKING)" "(GRUNTING)" "ZOD: yöur father acquitted himself with honor, Kal." "yöu killed him?" "I did." "And not a day goes by where it doesn't haunt me." "But if I had to do it again, I would." "I have a duty to my people and I will not allow anyone to prevent me from carrying it out." "What's the sit-rep, major?" "DSP pinged two bogeys launching from the alien ship." " Put it up." " Yes, sir." "LARAMORE:" "There it is." "Re-task IKon-4..." " ...and get me a closer look." "ANALYST:" " Yes, sir." "SWANWICK:" "Command, the word of the day is trident." "We have two alien craft on aggressive approach." "Ikon-4 coming online." "SWANWICK:" "Air speed?"

"Here in this environment yöu are as weak as a human." "Unh!" "Unh!" "(WHIRRING)" "Where did yöu come from?" "The command key, Miss Lane." "Thanks to yöu, I'm uploading to the ship's mainframe." "Who are yöu?" "I am Kai's father." "Can yöu help us?" "I designed this ship." "I can modify its atmospheric composition to human compatibility." "We can stop them." "We can send them back to the Phantom Zone." "How?" "I can teach yöu." "And in turn, yöu can teach Kal." "Will yöu help me?" "(ALARM WAILING)" "(GASPS)" "JOR-EL:" "The ship's crew are alerted." "We need to move quickly." "Retrieve the command key." "(DOOR WHIRRING)" " Did yöu do that?" " Yes." "Pick up her sidearm." "(ALARM WAILING)" "What's happening?" "To yöur right." "Fire." "Behind yöu." "Secure yöurself inside the open pod." "Safe travels, Miss Lane." "It's unlikely we'll see each other again." "Remember, the phantom drives are essential in stopping them." "Move yöur head to the left." "(SCREAMING)" "Is it true what Zod said about the Codex?" "Strike that panel." "We wanted yöu to learn what it meant to be human first so that one day, when the time was right, yöu could be the bridge between two peoples." "Look." "Lois." "yöu can save her, Kal." "yöu can save all of them." "(SCREAMING)" "(BARKING)" "SUPERMAN: yöu'll be safe here." " Are yöu all right?" " Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I didn't wanna tell them anything, but they did something to me."
