1. (Clark)
'Lois?'
Copy !req
2. Clark.
Copy !req
3. I couldn't go
through with it.
Copy !req
4. I couldn't stay away.
Copy !req
5. Let's just get out
of here and go someplace
Copy !req
6. where they'll
never find us.
Copy !req
7. Oh, yes, yes!
Copy !req
8. Oh, Clark, I knew..
Copy !req
9. Thinking about her?
Copy !req
10. I know she's
thinking about me.
Copy !req
11. This bond that
you have with her
Copy !req
12. it's so different from
the way I was taught.
Copy !req
13. Still, it must be
incredible
Copy !req
14. to learn to love
like that.
Copy !req
15. The mother ship
is on fast
approach.
Copy !req
16. 'They request
your countersign.'
Copy !req
17. Zara Kala Tai.
Copy !req
18. The mother ship?
Copy !req
19. The Royal Transport, Clark.
Copy !req
20. A floating palace.
Copy !req
21. It will take us
to new Krypton.
Copy !req
22. Palace?
Copy !req
23. I'm not sure I'm
really
ready for a palace.
Copy !req
24. She will uncloak now.
Copy !req
25. It's a
spacecraft,
alright?
Copy !req
26. I mean, when
you say a
palace
Copy !req
27. you don't
really
mean like a..
Copy !req
28. palace.
Copy !req
29. The Council of Elders
is aboard.
Copy !req
30. Our subjects wish to bid
you welcome, Lord Kal-El.
Copy !req
31. Kryptonian society
is held together
Copy !req
32. by an alliance
of Noble families.
Copy !req
33. Right, right.
Copy !req
34. Who are represented
by the Council of Elders.
Copy !req
35. Right, the Council of Elders.
Copy !req
36. They'll be watching you
for any signs of ambivalence.
Copy !req
37. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
38. It is vital
you adhere strictly
Copy !req
39. to the Kryptonian customs.
Copy !req
40. Kryptonian customs.
Copy !req
41. So that we maintain
the support of all the
people.
Copy !req
42. And avoid the upheaval—
Copy !req
43. That will lead to war.
Copy !req
44. They are prepared
to receive you,
Kal-El.
Copy !req
45. Ready?
Copy !req
46. I just want this
kept low-key, you know?
Copy !req
47. They don't have to make
a big deal over it.
Copy !req
48. Whoa!
Copy !req
49. Walk two paces
ahead of Zara.
Copy !req
50. Greet the elders with
open arms, palms up.
Copy !req
51. Say, "Brothers in bonds,
I greet thee" thrice.
Copy !req
52. You're kidding.
Copy !req
53. Brothers in bonds,
I-I greet thee... thrice.
Copy !req
54. I am Trey,
Chief of the
Elders.
Copy !req
55. We are humbled
and grateful to greet
you.
Copy !req
56. Kal-El!
Copy !req
57. (all)
'Kal-El!'
Copy !req
58. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
59. What do you mean,
Clark's gone?
Copy !req
60. Well, when you
called last night
Copy !req
61. we talked about
someone going off
Copy !req
62. to see if organized crime
Copy !req
63. was taking advantage
of Superman's absence.
Copy !req
64. Now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
65. I didn't
necessarily
mean you or
Clark.
Copy !req
66. Well, we tossed
a coin and he won.
Copy !req
67. What? Lois,
hold on
here.
Copy !req
68. This could be dangerous.
Copy !req
69. Are you sure he knows
what he's gotten himself
into?
Copy !req
70. Chief, to be honest,
I'm sure he has no idea.
Copy !req
71. (Trey)
'Lord Kal-El, Lady Zara..'
Copy !req
72. The ceremony will begin.
Copy !req
73. Why does Ching have
that funny look on his face?
Copy !req
74. I probably should've
told you about this.
Copy !req
75. About what?
Copy !req
76. The ceremony of union.
Copy !req
77. Union.. Union..
Copy !req
78. Union?
Copy !req
79. It makes it legal for us to
Copy !req
80. consummate the marriage.
Copy !req
81. - What?
- What?
Copy !req
82. Look, I don't know what kind of
arrangement you and Kent have.
Copy !req
83. I thought you might
be free for dinner.
Copy !req
84. For your information,
Ralph, I am an engaged woman.
Copy !req
85. I am an engaged man!
Copy !req
86. Not here, you're not.
Copy !req
87. Here you're my husband.
Copy !req
88. Kal-El and Zara,
married since birth
Copy !req
89. in accordance with the laws..
Copy !req
90. I am taken!
Dance card filled!
Copy !req
91. 'Off the market!'
Copy !req
92. Huh! And here
is poor Clark
Copy !req
93. out risking
his life for a story
Copy !req
94. and the minute
his back is turned
Copy !req
95. you're, you're..
Copy !req
96. Oh, whoa, it's just
a stinking dinner!
Copy !req
97. Well, you should be
ashamed of yourself.
Copy !req
98. Wow!
Lois, get a
grip!
Copy !req
99. I'll tell you
this
as a friend.
Copy !req
100. You have been a mess
ever since Superman
left.
Copy !req
101. Well, we're friends, you know?
Copy !req
102. And I am sure that he is
giving
up more than anyone knows
Copy !req
103. to do what he thinks is right.
Copy !req
104. Yeah, but did he
think about us?
Copy !req
105. I mean, we need him, too!
Copy !req
106. Of course
he thought about us.
Copy !req
107. 'You don't think
it killed him to leave?'
Copy !req
108. But civil wars would've
broken out in his country.
Copy !req
109. Innocent people
would've been slaughtered
Copy !req
110. if he hadn't
returned to lead them.
Copy !req
111. Protecting the helpless
isn't limited to here, Ralph
Copy !req
112. and that is what
Superman does!
Copy !req
113. Boy, should you be
ashamed of yourself!
Copy !req
114. As you were.
Copy !req
115. I declare
this union complete.
Copy !req
116. Its consummation
sanctioned by the law.
Copy !req
117. Behold.
Copy !req
118. The bridal chamber.
Copy !req
119. So..
Copy !req
120. This is the village
where both Kal-El
Copy !req
121. and the assassin Tez
landed on Earth.
Copy !req
122. It's certainly
less barren than home.
Copy !req
123. Our master's convinced
Copy !req
124. that hordes from new Krypton
will follow him here.
Copy !req
125. Less barren, yes.
Let me see..
Copy !req
126. There may be
other
incentives.
Copy !req
127. So where is everybody?
Copy !req
128. Hmm.
Copy !req
129. Oh, perhaps
that palace over
there.
Copy !req
130. I'll race you.
Copy !req
131. I could
learn
to like it
here.
Copy !req
132. Locked.
Copy !req
133. Just rip them open.
Copy !req
134. - Huh.
- 'Hey!'
Copy !req
135. What the hell
do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
136. Oh, we're playing.
Copy !req
137. Would you like to play too?
Copy !req
138. (Nor)
That's quite enough.
Copy !req
139. Survey the village.
Copy !req
140. Be ready for my arrival.
Copy !req
141. All will be ready,
my Lord Nor.
Copy !req
142. You will be
amazed at how easily
Copy !req
143. these fools
are conquered.
Copy !req
144. Zara?
Copy !req
145. Yes, Kal-El?
Copy !req
146. I'm not sure
what to do here.
Copy !req
147. I-I see.
Copy !req
148. And are the intimate habits
of men and women on Earth
Copy !req
149. so different from ours?
Copy !req
150. This fact never appeared
in my briefing manual.
Copy !req
151. That's not what I meant.
Copy !req
152. (Zara)
'There are techniques
to help couples.'
Copy !req
153. Your cable television shows
are most informative.
Copy !req
154. Please.
Copy !req
155. If you were Lois,
I'd know exactly what to do.
Copy !req
156. It'd be natural.
Copy !req
157. But this whole thing..
Copy !req
158. You and I..
Copy !req
159. Together..
Copy !req
160. We're not a couple.
We're a political solution.
Copy !req
161. So your heart
isn't in this.
Copy !req
162. My heart? No.
Copy !req
163. No, my heart is waiting
for me back on Earth.
Copy !req
164. Lois is my heart.
Copy !req
165. I was an outsider
there, uh, incomplete
Copy !req
166. until I met her.
Copy !req
167. You saved
yourself
for her.
Copy !req
168. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
169. I saved myself
for Lieutenant
Ching.
Copy !req
170. It's very
Kryptonian,
actually.
Copy !req
171. You see, my heart
isn't in this,
either.
Copy !req
172. Then we're agreed.
Copy !req
173. Not partners in bed
Copy !req
174. but partners.
Copy !req
175. Partners.
And
friends.
Copy !req
176. I-I hold you in
high esteem,
Kal-El.
Copy !req
177. Forgive the intrusion, I
don't
mean to interrupt your, uh..
Copy !req
178. Uh, your handshake.
Copy !req
179. You're not intruding, Trey.
Copy !req
180. So I see.
Copy !req
181. And you wanted?
Copy !req
182. Your presence.
Copy !req
183. We must prepare
for arrival on new Krypton
Copy !req
184. and it appears, um..
Copy !req
185. you're not occupied.
Copy !req
186. Oh.
Copy !req
187. (all)
Kal-El!
Copy !req
188. Uh, look..
Copy !req
189. From now on,
you don't have to do this.
Copy !req
190. It's tradition.
Copy !req
191. I know, but it's
driving me crazy.
Copy !req
192. Up, everyone.
Up, please.
Copy !req
193. Up.
Copy !req
194. I don't believe I've said
congratulations, Lord Kal-El.
Copy !req
195. Congratulations.
Copy !req
196. Ching, listen.
Copy !req
197. There's something
that I want to make
very..
Copy !req
198. I understand,
Kal-El.
Copy !req
199. 'We're all prisoners
of duty, I know.'
Copy !req
200. It's how ardently we embrace
our duty that concerns me.
Copy !req
201. Disturbing
news,
My Lord.
Copy !req
202. It appears Lord Nor
and a party of his
followers
Copy !req
203. have vanished
from new
Krypton.
Copy !req
204. Where would they go?
Copy !req
205. It's believed
they're, um..
Copy !req
206. They're on
their way toward
Earth.
Copy !req
207. Ho-hos.
Copy !req
208. Twinkies.
Copy !req
209. Ding-dongs.
Copy !req
210. Snickers?
Copy !req
211. Huh. You feeling hungry?
Copy !req
212. Jonathan, you know
I never eat this stuff.
Copy !req
213. Well, then, uh, why
are we stocking up?
Copy !req
214. They're his favorites.
Copy !req
215. And I know when he comes home,
he's gonna want them.
Copy !req
216. And since he
doesn't have any problems
Copy !req
217. with cavities
and cholesterol
Copy !req
218. then why not?
Copy !req
219. That's spoken
like a true
mom.
Copy !req
220. Martha..
Copy !req
221. We've talked about this.
Copy !req
222. There's still
a small chance
that
Copy !req
223. Clark might not
get back alive.
Copy !req
224. I know we've
talked about it.
Copy !req
225. And you know
what I said then?
Copy !req
226. "My boy is coming home."
Copy !req
227. - Martha, you—
- Jonathan.
Copy !req
228. My boy's coming home.
Copy !req
229. (Nor)
'Villagers of Smallville.'
Copy !req
230. 'Forgive me for interrupting
your tedious lives.'
Copy !req
231. 'It can't be helped.'
Copy !req
232. 'A change in leadership
has occurred.'
Copy !req
233. 'So report immediately
to your municipal
headquarters'
Copy !req
234. 'for details
of this joyful news'
Copy !req
235. 'along with work
and dwelling assignments.'
Copy !req
236. (officer)
'Freeze!'
Copy !req
237. Oh!
Copy !req
238. 'Oh!'
Copy !req
239. Yield to the forces of Nor!
Copy !req
240. Oh! Look!
Copy !req
241. Well, well..
Copy !req
242. Isn't this an awkward moment.
Copy !req
243. Let me attempt
to smooth things over.
Copy !req
244. Friends, do not,
I beg of you
Copy !req
245. think of me as
some alien creature.
Copy !req
246. 'Some being who
shares nothing with you.'
Copy !req
247. Rather think of me
as a God.
Copy !req
248. Stern.
Copy !req
249. Unforgiving.
Copy !req
250. Invincible.
Copy !req
251. I neither like you
nor need you.
Copy !req
252. Resist me
Copy !req
253. and die.
Copy !req
254. Well..
Copy !req
255. Now that the ice is broken
Copy !req
256. my men will sort you according
to strength, age and health.
Copy !req
257. - Aah!
- Oh!
Copy !req
258. - Here.
- Where you going?
Copy !req
259. To call Lois.
Copy !req
260. This Lord Nor is the enemy that
Clark went to Krypton to fight.
Copy !req
261. (Jimmy)
'Lois.'
Copy !req
262. Hey, have you
talked to Clark?
Copy !req
263. Uh..
Copy !req
264. He managed
to call last
night.
Copy !req
265. I'm not sure
when I'll see
him.
Copy !req
266. (Jimmy)
'Boy, he's gone,
Superman's gone.'
Copy !req
267. He's gone.
Superman's gone.
Copy !req
268. Lois, you don't think..
Copy !req
269. I certainly do not that..
Copy !req
270. Jimmy, that's ridiculous.
Copy !req
271. What? I was just thinking,
with all this hard work
Copy !req
272. they could both burn out.
Copy !req
273. Oh.
Copy !req
274. Oh, oh, that, oh, that.
Copy !req
275. Why?
Copy !req
276. What were you thinking?
Copy !req
277. I want a simpler life.
Simpler life.
Copy !req
278. - Lois, it's Martha.
- Hi, Martha.
Copy !req
279. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
280. Well, it's kinda
hard to explain.
Copy !req
281. A terrible thing is
happening.
These peop..
Copy !req
282. Martha?
Copy !req
283. Hello, Martha?
Copy !req
284. - Jimmy?
- 'Yeah?'
Copy !req
285. Could you keep
trying the Kents?
Copy !req
286. There's something wrong
with the Smallville lines.
Copy !req
287. (Nor)
Well, although we
got off to a rocky start
Copy !req
288. I think it's safe to say
Copy !req
289. things are back
on track, isn't it?
Copy !req
290. Isn't it?
Copy !req
291. - Alright.
- Yes, sir. Whatever you say.
Copy !req
292. (Nor)
Your enthusiasm
touches me deeply.
Copy !req
293. As part of our
urban improvement plan
Copy !req
294. my men have begun
a few modernizing
touches.
Copy !req
295. Voila.
Copy !req
296. 'Smallville has been
surrounded by a force field'
Copy !req
297. 'that cannot be breached.'
Copy !req
298. Completely cutting us off
from the rest of your world.
Copy !req
299. Oh..
Copy !req
300. And another
beautification effort.
Copy !req
301. 'My palace.'
Copy !req
302. At least for now.
Copy !req
303. 'So, to review'
Copy !req
304. since I am absolute ruler
Copy !req
305. it follows you are my slaves.
Copy !req
306. Behold your ruler and bow down.
Copy !req
307. We don't do much
bowing here in
Kansas.
Copy !req
308. No.
Copy !req
309. See, I've a feeling
we're not in Kansas anymore.
Copy !req
310. Down! Respect!
Copy !req
311. 'On your knees, slaves!'
Copy !req
312. I greet you
Copy !req
313. as subjects of new
Copy !req
314. new Krypton.
Copy !req
315. Well, if the FBI doesn't
handle
these things, who does?
Copy !req
316. No phone calls are getting
through to Smallville, Kansas
Copy !req
317. and the phone company
doesn't know why.
Copy !req
318. Well, then transfer
me to the Pentagon.
Copy !req
319. Oh, what are
their business hours?
Copy !req
320. Hello?
Copy !req
321. This is crazy.
Copy !req
322. Maybe I am, too.
Copy !req
323. Clark?
Copy !req
324. Clark?
Copy !req
325. - Clark?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
326. Oh.
Copy !req
327. I'm going crazy.
Copy !req
328. And I'm talking to myself.
Copy !req
329. That's a sign,
isn't it?
Copy !req
330. Now I'm asking
myself questions.
Copy !req
331. Oh, this could be
a problem.
Copy !req
332. Or maybe I'll learn
to enjoy it.
Copy !req
333. You're just an illusion.
Copy !req
334. Not here.
Copy !req
335. Oh, God.
Copy !req
336. Oh, if this isn't real,
I don't want to know.
Copy !req
337. Mmm..
Copy !req
338. I told you I'd come back.
Copy !req
339. Mmm! And you did.
Kiss me.
Copy !req
340. I don't
have
a lot of
time.
Copy !req
341. I had to see you.
Copy !req
342. Why are you here?
Copy !req
343. - Change of plans.
- Oh, don't stop.
Copy !req
344. What about your people?
Copy !req
345. They're here, too.
Copy !req
346. Don't ever leave me again.
Copy !req
347. I won't.
Copy !req
348. (Trey)
'Lord Kal-El.'
Copy !req
349. Family friend?
Copy !req
350. Very friendly.
Copy !req
351. Sir, forgive me
for reminding you
Copy !req
352. how critical your presence
is at the palace.
Copy !req
353. Palace?
Copy !req
354. Temporary palace.
Copy !req
355. It-it floats.
Copy !req
356. Yes, Trey. I know.
Copy !req
357. (Trey)
'Yes, well, in that case'
Copy !req
358. I suggest you unhand your friend
Copy !req
359. and, um, return to
your troops and your bride.
Copy !req
360. I hear you.
Copy !req
361. If it were my country, I'd
want
to kick Godzilla's butt, too.
Copy !req
362. (Ching)
I'm sure you would.
Copy !req
363. Ching,
they took him away.
Copy !req
364. He was here,
and they took him away.
Copy !req
365. And do you have
any idea how much
Copy !req
366. cookie dough ice cream
I've eaten tonight?
Copy !req
367. - Where is Clark?
- In the palace.
Copy !req
368. I don't see any palace.
Copy !req
369. That would be correct.
Copy !req
370. Ching..
Copy !req
371. It's cloaked.
Copy !req
372. So that even now, it is
hovering
undetected over the city.
Copy !req
373. Well, I've got to tell you
Copy !req
374. seeing him for
less than a minute
Copy !req
375. was almost worse than
not seeing him at all.
Copy !req
376. Almost, but not.
Copy !req
377. Yes. Kal-El too,
said
he was very bumped.
Copy !req
378. Bummed.
Copy !req
379. He was bummed.
Copy !req
380. (Ching)
He feels your absence deeply.
Copy !req
381. I try to tell him
that a Kryptonian
Copy !req
382. must disregard
his own feelings.
Copy !req
383. Oh, right.
Copy !req
384. Like you're not sick inside
Copy !req
385. that Clark's married
to the woman you adore.
Copy !req
386. How's the marriage going,
anyway?
Copy !req
387. Any squabbles?
Tiffs? Door slammings?
Copy !req
388. Zara and Kal-El do not
have time for tiffs.
Copy !req
389. - Lord Nor is here.
- Why?
Copy !req
390. (Ching)
'When he learned he would
have superpowers on Earth'
Copy !req
391. it made conquest
too tempting to resist.
Copy !req
392. Well, we have to do something.
We have to tell someone.
Copy !req
393. Earthly force
is useless against
him.
Copy !req
394. And if Kal-El
cannot
successfully
Copy !req
395. lead our men against Nor
Copy !req
396. then he will
colonize your
world.
Copy !req
397. Then all our dreams..
Copy !req
398. yours, mine, and
Clark's will be
lost.
Copy !req
399. This is why
he had to leave
you.
Copy !req
400. And, yes, it... does
Copy !req
401. make me sick
to see Zara with
Kal-El.
Copy !req
402. But not as sick as if both our
worlds were destroyed by Nor.
Copy !req
403. So this isn't just
about your people anymore
Copy !req
404. but mine as well.
Copy !req
405. Ching, I want to see Clark.
Copy !req
406. There's no way
your customs will allow it?
Copy !req
407. Actually..
Copy !req
408. there is one
custom
that might interest
you.
Copy !req
409. As your advisor, Kal-El
Copy !req
410. I regretfully endorse
Copy !req
411. a preemptive strike
by our forces against Nor's.
Copy !req
412. We have no idea where he is
Copy !req
413. or whether we outnumber him.
Copy !req
414. Well, my guess is we do.
Copy !req
415. And a guess
isn't good enough.
Copy !req
416. I have my people's
lives to consider.
Copy !req
417. By "Your people"
do you mean us?
Copy !req
418. Or the ones on Earth?
Copy !req
419. Everyone.
Copy !req
420. But if we do attack,
the big losers
Copy !req
421. will be the people of Earth,
trapped in the crossfire.
Copy !req
422. Perhaps Kal-El's loyalty has
been compromised by... sentiment.
Copy !req
423. If by "Sentiment" you mean
that I value human life?
Copy !req
424. Yeah, I'm kind of
a nut that way.
Copy !req
425. Husband, may we speak?
Copy !req
426. I know this is difficult.
Copy !req
427. I just don't like
slaughter being discussed
Copy !req
428. like it's an inconvenience.
Copy !req
429. Every war
harms the
innocent.
Copy !req
430. Look at that map.
Copy !req
431. What do you see?
Copy !req
432. Troop deployments,
mountains, borders,
rivers.
Copy !req
433. Yeah, well, I see
neighborhoods,
parks, schoolyards.
Copy !req
434. Places where people
expect to be safe.
Copy !req
435. Now, I will not rob
those people of their futures
Copy !req
436. just because Krypton cannot
solve its problems at home.
Copy !req
437. If that's what
you want me to do
Copy !req
438. then I have no business
being your leader.
Copy !req
439. A bit of domestic discord?
Copy !req
440. You don't know
the half of it.
Copy !req
441. Be patient, my lord.
Copy !req
442. The first few
days
of any marriage
Copy !req
443. are bound to be strained.
Copy !req
444. Trey.
Copy !req
445. Lord Kal-El, I have
brought you something
important.
Copy !req
446. - What, you found Nor?
- No.
Copy !req
447. Have an estimate
of his troops?
Copy !req
448. No.
Copy !req
449. His attack plan?
Copy !req
450. No. I have brought you
a selection of concubines.
Copy !req
451. Sorry?
Copy !req
452. It is our custom for Nobles
to ease their tensions
Copy !req
453. with the help
of professional care-givers.
Copy !req
454. Guys, I am trying to hold
this unstable alliance
together
Copy !req
455. long enough
to defeat Nor's
army
Copy !req
456. and you guys are
talking
concubines?
Copy !req
457. If you'll just
take a moment
Copy !req
458. to inspect these women.
Copy !req
459. I do not inspect women, Ching.
Copy !req
460. I'm telling you that-that..
Copy !req
461. that this could be
a really good custom.
Copy !req
462. Chief!
Trouble in Smallville.
Copy !req
463. - What kind of trouble?
- Don't know.
Copy !req
464. - What are the facts?
- Can't get any.
Copy !req
465. Well, who there
have you talked
to?
Copy !req
466. No one.
Copy !req
467. Clark's hometown
is Smallville.
Copy !req
468. Have Lois get
in touch with
him.
Copy !req
469. - She can't.
- Why not?
Copy !req
470. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
471. Boy, you're just
a fountain of
information.
Copy !req
472. How in the Sam Hill do you
even know there's trouble?
Copy !req
473. A U.S. Spy satellite shows a
force field of unknown origin
Copy !req
474. sealing the city off
from the rest of the world.
Copy !req
475. There's a team
of army investigators
Copy !req
476. on their way there now.
Copy !req
477. (male #1)
'Hey, chief!
Take a look at this.'
Copy !req
478. I'm Leeza Gibbons, coming to
you
live from Smallville, Kansas.
Copy !req
479. Judas
priest.
Scooped.
Copy !req
480. My very special guest today
is Lord Nor of new Krypton.
Copy !req
481. Welcome, Lord Nor.
Copy !req
482. Thank you, Leeza.
Copy !req
483. So, what brings you to Earth?
Copy !req
484. We're a caring planet, Leeza.
Copy !req
485. An advanced culture
sharing its bounty
Copy !req
486. with a more primitive one.
Copy !req
487. Mr. Nor,
the tough questions.
Copy !req
488. Why a force field?
Copy !req
489. Why over the entire city?
Copy !req
490. Well, I don't have to talk
to you about crime, Leeza.
Copy !req
491. The field is basically
a protective device
Copy !req
492. to keep the town
safe from intruders.
Copy !req
493. And not to keep
the people of Smallville in?
Copy !req
494. Well, that's up to them.
Copy !req
495. Needless to say,
it would be vastly safer
Copy !req
496. for them to remain inside.
Copy !req
497. And how would
leaving endanger them?
Copy !req
498. Well, they'd be killed.
Copy !req
499. By me.
Copy !req
500. These people are
your prisoners?
Copy !req
501. Well, "Prisoners" is
such a pejorative term.
Copy !req
502. What would you call them?
Copy !req
503. Students.
Copy !req
504. I aim to educate the people
Copy !req
505. to accept me as their
unquestioned ruler.
Copy !req
506. And what more do you want?
Copy !req
507. To educate the entire
world along similar lines.
Copy !req
508. In fact, if there are
any kings, presidents
Copy !req
509. princes, or interested
world leaders listening
Copy !req
510. we really should get together
Copy !req
511. to discuss the rapid transfer
of global power to me.
Copy !req
512. You can't expect
legitimate heads of state
Copy !req
513. to accept this situation.
Copy !req
514. Indeed.
Copy !req
515. And if there's any doubt
Copy !req
516. we'll start killing two
quivering citizens of
Smallville
Copy !req
517. every day until we get
a polite response.
Copy !req
518. Starting with these two.
Copy !req
519. What are your feelings
about being executed?
Copy !req
520. Concubines?
Copy !req
521. I thought this was some great,
evolved civilization.
Copy !req
522. I mean, look at me.
I'm on a leash.
Copy !req
523. Yeah, well, look
at the outfit they put
me in.
Copy !req
524. Well, actually,
I don't mind yours.
Copy !req
525. So, this must be
the bridal bed.
Copy !req
526. Comfy.
Copy !req
527. I suppose.
Copy !req
528. And my Clark,
a married man.
Copy !req
529. A married Lord.
Copy !req
530. You know, I was meaning
to ask you, Clark, um..
Copy !req
531. Just how married are you?
Copy !req
532. - What?
- Well..
Copy !req
533. I know that you feel
an obligation to your people
Copy !req
534. and you are a pretty thorough
guy when it comes to details.
Copy !req
535. And you do look good.
Copy !req
536. Really great
in the new
suit.
Copy !req
537. You think it's better
than the blue and the cape?
Copy !req
538. Oh, no, I'm not
knocking the blue
suit.
Copy !req
539. It's just that
this is more..
Copy !req
540. More.
Copy !req
541. And I know that you
got married in good
faith.
Copy !req
542. And you are a man
of your word.
Copy !req
543. How married are you?
Copy !req
544. Lois.
Copy !req
545. I promised you first.
Copy !req
546. I can't even explain
Copy !req
547. how frustrating
all this has been for me
Copy !req
548. posing as a husband
Copy !req
549. stumbling over
these very strange customs.
Copy !req
550. I'm asked to lead people who
don't even completely trust me
Copy !req
551. and the only time
that I feel real
Copy !req
552. is inside my head
Copy !req
553. thinking about you.
Copy !req
554. Well, I'm here now.
Copy !req
555. Do you mind?
I'm on the clock
here.
Copy !req
556. Forgive me, sir, but
we thought you should know
Copy !req
557. Lord Nor has captured
the village of Smallville
Copy !req
558. 'and claimed it as his own.'
Copy !req
559. (Ambrose)
'There's our target,
gentlemen.'
Copy !req
560. Alright, move back.
Copy !req
561. Attention, space creatures.
Copy !req
562. I'm Colonel Ambrose Cash,
United States Army.
Copy !req
563. We are giving you a
chance
to throw down your arms
Copy !req
564. and surrender at once.
Copy !req
565. Is it worth
reminding the Colonel
Copy !req
566. that these Kryptonians
are probably invincible
Copy !req
567. and that the only ones in
danger
are the people of Smallville?
Copy !req
568. Sir.
Copy !req
569. Lieutenant,
we are under
orders.
Copy !req
570. These United States
ain't theirs for the
taking.
Copy !req
571. Yeah, those
devils
are ignoring us.
Copy !req
572. Open fire!
Copy !req
573. Okay.
Copy !req
574. Return and tell your people
Copy !req
575. never again to attempt
these amateurish tactics.
Copy !req
576. You can't stop us.
Copy !req
577. Chief!
Copy !req
578. Chief, the U.N.'s ordered
the world's military
Copy !req
579. to stand down
for the next 48 hours.
Copy !req
580. They want to negotiate
with the Kryptonians.
Copy !req
581. Sell them
on the American dream.
Copy !req
582. Of course.
I lost men out there.
Copy !req
583. Bunch of weaklings.
Copy !req
584. (Ching)
'Mr. White.'
Copy !req
585. The Kryptonian high command
Copy !req
586. is commandeering
this building.
Copy !req
587. Just hold on there.
Copy !req
588. Aren't you the fella
that took Superman away?
Copy !req
589. He's also the one that's
bringing him back, chief,
look.
Copy !req
590. Superman.
Copy !req
591. Cool outfit.
Copy !req
592. Mr. White,
forgive the intrusion
Copy !req
593. but the Kryptonian
force in Smallville
Copy !req
594. needs to be dealt with.
Copy !req
595. 'Since this is
a communications center'
Copy !req
596. 'it'd make a great base of
operations, if that's
alright?'
Copy !req
597. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Copy !req
598. I'll move in, too.
Keep an eye on you.
Copy !req
599. Lois?
Copy !req
600. Uh, I-I..
Copy !req
601. Jimmy, do me a favor. Get
Dr. Klein on the phone,
please.
Copy !req
602. What's the current
status of Smallville?
Copy !req
603. All the water and power
has been cut off.
Copy !req
604. The Kryptonians don't
need any water or food.
Copy !req
605. The ones that are being hurt
are the people of Smallville.
Copy !req
606. (Jimmy)
'Dr. Klein? It's Olsen from
the
"Planet." Hold for Superman.'
Copy !req
607. Dr. Klein?
Yes, it's me.
Copy !req
608. I'll need your Kryptonite
specimen removed from the
vault.
Copy !req
609. It may be the only resolution
to the Smallville situation.
Copy !req
610. I don't know
what Kryptonite is
Copy !req
611. but if Lord Nor has been
behaving illegally—
Copy !req
612. If?
Copy !req
613. He's holding
an entire town hostage.
Copy !req
614. Why this incessant worry
about this stupid town?
Copy !req
615. Well, maybe Kal-El
has a plan of his own.
Copy !req
616. 'We don't know what's going
on inside that force field.'
Copy !req
617. We have no way
of penetrating
it.
Copy !req
618. But if we could find a way
of infiltrating Smallville
Copy !req
619. we could look around.
Copy !req
620. I could go too,
my fiancé's from there
Copy !req
621. and I know the place.
Copy !req
622. Sir, I really must request
Copy !req
623. that the wishes
of the Elders be heeded.
Copy !req
624. And I really must insist
that we do as I say.
Copy !req
625. Alright, Superman.
Copy !req
626. And who are you to
insist we do anything?
Copy !req
627. Who am I, Jen Mai?
Copy !req
628. I am your commander.
Copy !req
629. (Drull)
This is the green,
My Lord.
Copy !req
630. It says here, this is the
most
important part of the game.
Copy !req
631. (Nor)
Really?
Copy !req
632. (Drull)
"Left arm remains straight.
Copy !req
633. Eye remains on the ball."
Copy !req
634. Fascinating.
Copy !req
635. I could love this game.
Copy !req
636. "The grass surrounding
the cup is of a shorter
Copy !req
637. and sturdier variety and should
be trimmed to 5/8 of an inch."
Copy !req
638. Keep it moving there!
Copy !req
639. Hmm.
Copy !req
640. "Sand trap."
Copy !req
641. '"Sand trap."'
Copy !req
642. Hi, mom, dad.
Copy !req
643. Clark.
Copy !req
644. Honey, I can't believe..
Copy !req
645. Clark had to return
because of Lord Nor.
Copy !req
646. He's here, son.
He's made us into his slaves.
Copy !req
647. I know. So we're going
to become slaves, too.
Copy !req
648. See if we can
undo all this mess.
Copy !req
649. Concubine to slave.
Is that a step down?
Copy !req
650. What's that?
Copy !req
651. Someone's has
to stand up to you!
Copy !req
652. I'd rather burn
the damn golf course
Copy !req
653. than be your slave on it!
Copy !req
654. Hey!
Copy !req
655. (Drull)
'Back to the village!'
Copy !req
656. 'Back to work.
Clean up this..'
Copy !req
657. (Drull)
'You! Carry the rebel!'
Copy !req
658. Ha!
Copy !req
659. Anybody call for a cab?
Copy !req
660. (Nor)
Look at our troops.
Copy !req
661. A lifetime of Kryptonian
discipline forgotten.
Copy !req
662. Don't be so insufferably dull.
Copy !req
663. All that discipline
has left them starved
Copy !req
664. for a little debauchery.
Copy !req
665. What's the harm?
Copy !req
666. It certainly
wouldn't
be allowed at
home.
Copy !req
667. It certainly wouldn't.
Copy !req
668. Which is why
so many of our comrades
Copy !req
669. will leave
that wretched rock
Copy !req
670. and follow me here to paradise.
Copy !req
671. My Lord, the townspeople
are begging for water.
Copy !req
672. Their tongues
are blistered with thirst.
Copy !req
673. The point being?
Copy !req
674. They'll have what's
rationed to them
Copy !req
675. and not a drop more.
Copy !req
676. They have their
government to thank for it.
Copy !req
677. They'll all die slow
and horrible deaths.
Copy !req
678. (Nor)
No, not all.
Copy !req
679. The lucky ones
will be executed.
Copy !req
680. From what
I've been able to pick
up
Copy !req
681. their master plan is to
make
city after city
surrender.
Copy !req
682. Metropolis being
the first on the
list.
Copy !req
683. Look at us.
Copy !req
684. I always sort of figured
we'd be on our honeymoon
Copy !req
685. about right now.
Copy !req
686. Well, at least
you're here with me.
Copy !req
687. Being without you?
Copy !req
688. That was bad.
Copy !req
689. And besides..
Copy !req
690. What?
Copy !req
691. Well, if you
wanna know the truth
Copy !req
692. it's kind of exciting.
Copy !req
693. Just seems to be the
way
our life together is.
Copy !req
694. Oh, God,
do you think that's what
Copy !req
695. makes our relationship work?
Copy !req
696. No.
Copy !req
697. Okay.
Copy !req
698. This looks like
a good place.
Copy !req
699. For what?
Copy !req
700. You drilled a well?
Copy !req
701. Got to get some water
to all these people.
Copy !req
702. (male #2)
'You two! Back to work!'
Copy !req
703. Alright.
Move it
along.
Copy !req
704. Promise me,
once in a
while
Copy !req
705. we'll have a
quiet
evening at home?
Copy !req
706. - Here you go.
- It's water. Shh.
Copy !req
707. Now, don't turn around.
Copy !req
708. Be careful.
Copy !req
709. Careful.
Copy !req
710. Drink it slow.
Copy !req
711. (Ran)
'Hey, Drull.'
Copy !req
712. 'See that
old guy over there?'
Copy !req
713. 'Use him as your target.'
Copy !req
714. - 'You watching, prisoner?'
- 'No, please, I'm begging
you!'
Copy !req
715. (Ran)
'Drull, freeze him.'
Copy !req
716. Excellent.
Copy !req
717. Most efficient
manner of execution.
Copy !req
718. Come on.
Copy !req
719. Prepare to die.
Copy !req
720. (Martha)
'Who are you to be accusing
me?'
Copy !req
721. You heard me! I saw all
that food you were hoarding!
Copy !req
722. - It's not fair!
- She's lying!
Copy !req
723. I am not!
I saw it myself!
Copy !req
724. Liar!
Copy !req
725. Stop at once!
Copy !req
726. Ran! Drull!
Copy !req
727. You see what's happened?
Copy !req
728. You fools, you've lost
control of these wretches.
Copy !req
729. (Ran)
'We'll find him, Lord Nor.'
Copy !req
730. That's not just
a worthless prisoner.
Copy !req
731. The whole mood
of the town is changing.
Copy !req
732. And I believe I know why.
Copy !req
733. I've just received
some disturbing news
Copy !req
734. from an unimpeachable source.
Copy !req
735. Jonathan and Martha Kent!
Copy !req
736. 'Show yourselves!'
Copy !req
737. Let's see how much
he cares for mum and dad.
Copy !req
738. 'Let's go!
Out of the way!'
Copy !req
739. 'Move aside!'
Copy !req
740. It's okay.
Copy !req
741. 'Come on, old man!'
Copy !req
742. 'Let's go!'
Copy !req
743. I told you
you'd
be the first to
go
Copy !req
744. if I didn't
get
what I
want.
Copy !req
745. Well.
Copy !req
746. What I want is..
Copy !req
747. Kal-El.
Copy !req
748. Lord Kal-El!
Copy !req
749. 'I know you're among us!'
Copy !req
750. I'm still waiting, Kal-El.
Copy !req
751. And I assure you,
my credentials
Copy !req
752. in the field
of excruciating death
Copy !req
753. are impeccable.
Copy !req
754. What do you want with me, Nor?
Copy !req
755. Where do I start?
Copy !req
756. I want your throne, Kal-El.
Copy !req
757. And I want your world.
Copy !req
758. And I want you gone..
Copy !req
759. forever.
Copy !req
