1. (Lord Nor)
Well, well..
Copy !req
2. we have here a tableau
of infinite possibilities.
Copy !req
3. None of them, unfortunately,
pleasant for you.
Copy !req
4. Do you try to escape,
and I kill the Kents?
Copy !req
5. Do you attack me,
and I kill you?
Copy !req
6. Do we do battle and I kill
all
these Earth people?
Copy !req
7. Stop me if you're
sensing a theme here.
Copy !req
8. You don't want to
do battle with me.
Copy !req
9. Oh, but I do.
Copy !req
10. All my life, I've been one
step
away from marrying Zara
Copy !req
11. and claiming the throne.
All my life
Copy !req
12. I've heard of the lore
of the great house of El
Copy !req
13. and its beloved son,
my rival.
Copy !req
14. How I've hated you.
Copy !req
15. It's not me that's kept
you
from the throne
Copy !req
16. it's the law
of your own
people.
Copy !req
17. On the contrary,
the law of my people
Copy !req
18. will place me
on the throne.
Copy !req
19. You're under arrest.
Copy !req
20. Under arrest for what?
Copy !req
21. He hasn't done
anything wrong.
Copy !req
22. You're the one
who's breaking the law.
Copy !req
23. You hired an assassin
to kill him! Is that legal?
Copy !req
24. Excuse me, do any of you hold
Kryptonian law degrees?
Copy !req
25. - No.
- Then shut up!
Copy !req
26. So, not content with ruling
your world
Copy !req
27. 'you wanted to rule mine.'
Copy !req
28. Ambition will be
the end of you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
29. And them as well.
Copy !req
30. (male #1)
'Come on,
move it! Move it!'
Copy !req
31. Lois, honey.
Are you alright?
Copy !req
32. Are you two alright?
Copy !req
33. Oh, could you at least get
them
some chairs or something?
Copy !req
34. On New Krypton we do not
get hostages chairs.
Copy !req
35. You know what?
I don't like New Krypton.
Copy !req
36. There. I said it.
Copy !req
37. I know that you're
supposed to be
Copy !req
38. 'so intellectually advanced'
Copy !req
39. but I think you're
a bunch of creeps
Copy !req
40. and I am sorry that Kal-El
ever
even gave you the time of day
Copy !req
41. much less sacrifice everything
to save your stupid planet.
Copy !req
42. So, are you going to shoot us
over a couple of chairs?
Copy !req
43. I don't think so because
we're
the only hold you've got
Copy !req
44. over my friend Kal-El, who'd
be
out here in maybe two seconds
Copy !req
45. to mop the floor with you.
Copy !req
46. - Well said, Lois.
- Hear, hear, honey.
Copy !req
47. Silence!
Copy !req
48. You. Inside.
Copy !req
49. Kal-El, in accordance
with your legal rights
Copy !req
50. you have a visitor.
Copy !req
51. A particularly vile
Earth woman.
Copy !req
52. Watch it.
I'm his favorite
concubine.
Copy !req
53. 'Come on.'
Copy !req
54. Lois, you got to be
careful with these
guys.
Copy !req
55. You make 'em mad
and they might—
Copy !req
56. I know. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
57. I get upset,
I shoot my mouth off.
Copy !req
58. I don't know
if you noticed.
Copy !req
59. I have.
Copy !req
60. When I was a kid, I used to
sit
at that stool right there
Copy !req
61. eating banana splits all day.
Copy !req
62. Never thought
I'd be locked up in
here
Copy !req
63. with my parents
chained outside
Copy !req
64. and the world
about to be taken
over.
Copy !req
65. I know.
Copy !req
66. It's always something.
Copy !req
67. How can they arrest you?
Aren't
you the king or something?
Copy !req
68. Under their law, if one Noble
charges another with a crime
Copy !req
69. then a tribunal
has to be
convened.
Copy !req
70. But they can't convict
me.
I haven't done
anything.
Copy !req
71. Well, see, you're so good you
assume justice will prevail.
Copy !req
72. This is not something
I assume.
Copy !req
73. Lois, I'm gonna
beat
this guy Nor.
Copy !req
74. And then the
Kryptonians
can go back
Copy !req
75. and they can solve
their own problems.
Copy !req
76. And faster than
a speeding
bullet
Copy !req
77. you and I are
gonna
get married.
Copy !req
78. Can you make it
any faster than that?
Copy !req
79. (male #2)
'Move along, Earth slugs.'
Copy !req
80. See if you can find out
if they know about
Kryptonite.
Copy !req
81. It's the one thing
that could be a
problem.
Copy !req
82. From what I can tell,
they don't know about it.
Copy !req
83. For a bright bunch
of aliens
Copy !req
84. they sure didn't
do their homework.
Copy !req
85. Hmm. Then why's he
so confident of
winning?
Copy !req
86. I mean, what does he have?
Copy !req
87. Well, that's what
I will try to find out.
Copy !req
88. Mmm.
Copy !req
89. Good.
Copy !req
90. (male #3)
'Coordinated view.
Do it A.S.A.P.'
Copy !req
91. Judas Priest! It's like
a tomb in here!
Copy !req
92. Now, look, this may be
your headquarters
Copy !req
93. but it's still my newsroom,
so, uh, don't look so glum.
Copy !req
94. Let's lighten up!
Superman's on the case!
Copy !req
95. Still, one more day and this
whole planet may be at war.
Copy !req
96. World's military
gave Kal-El just 48 hours
Copy !req
97. to find out what's going on
in Smallville.
Copy !req
98. I'll tell you what's goin' on.
Copy !req
99. We got a wacko Martian
on our hands
Copy !req
100. and he's got to be
taken out!
Copy !req
101. - Martian?
- Martian?
Copy !req
102. A generic term for anyone
who's never had a big mac.
Copy !req
103. (Jimmy)
Chief! Chief, bad news.
Copy !req
104. Superman told S.T.A.R. Labs
to get their Kryptonite
Copy !req
105. ready for use,
only there isn't any.
Copy !req
106. 'It got stolen out
of their vault.'
Copy !req
107. 'No sign of forced entry.
Had to be an inside job.'
Copy !req
108. Or else somebody
with superpowers.
Copy !req
109. That's what
Dr. Klein said.
Copy !req
110. If Nor does know Kryptonite's
power and uses it against
him—
Copy !req
111. He will marry me
and assume the throne.
Copy !req
112. My dear, you continue
to paint far too bleak
Copy !req
113. a picture of Lord Nor.
Copy !req
114. I have bad news.
Copy !req
115. Doesn't anybody
ever come through
Copy !req
116. that door with good news?
Copy !req
117. Kal-El has surrendered to Nor
Copy !req
118. who invites us to meet him
at Smallville.
Copy !req
119. I still maintain
that Nor is, at heart
Copy !req
120. loyal to the nobility.
Copy !req
121. 'Do what you should have
done from the beginning.'
Copy !req
122. Go to this
Smallville
and confront him.
Copy !req
123. You have the full backing
of the Council Of Elders.
Copy !req
124. Well, if you feel
that's best..
Copy !req
125. Alright, alright.
Then it's a done
deal.
Copy !req
126. Now, Jimmy,
I want you to tag
along
Copy !req
127. with these, uh, folks, here.
Copy !req
128. 'Tell Superman and Lois
about the Kryptonite'
Copy !req
129. 'and try to get some photos
inside the force field.'
Copy !req
130. Thanks, chief.
Copy !req
131. Listen, uh, Ching, heh, I was
thinking maybe I should wear
Copy !req
132. one of those black outfits,
like Kal-El has.
Copy !req
133. You know, just so
I'd fit in better.
Copy !req
134. It's not like I'd look bad
or anything.
Copy !req
135. I've really lowered
my percentage of body fat.
Copy !req
136. (male #4)
'Alright.
Line up in two columns.'
Copy !req
137. Citizens' committee
has drawn up a petition.
Copy !req
138. They demand more food
and water for the people.
Copy !req
139. Oh, that's only fair.
Copy !req
140. Kill the committee.
Copy !req
141. Distribute their
portion
among the rest.
Copy !req
142. Leadership
is problem
solving.
Copy !req
143. I thought they'd
never get here.
Copy !req
144. Order the field made
penetrable
by thought transmission.
Copy !req
145. Lord Nor, this is Zara.
Copy !req
146. - Oh.
- What?
Copy !req
147. I hereby order you
to open the force field.
Copy !req
148. You are here without
authorization of
Copy !req
149. the Council Of Elders
and have much to explain.
Copy !req
150. It's Zara.
They're
here.
Copy !req
151. Not only to me,
but to your people.
Copy !req
152. Ching, could you have a talk
Copy !req
153. with the guy
who hands out the suits, huh?
Copy !req
154. - Shh.
- Oh. Sorry.
Copy !req
155. The entire council joins me in
warning you not to resist our—
Copy !req
156. Jimmy, we are trying
to communicate!
Copy !req
157. Look, before you go
Copy !req
158. invoking the law, the council
Copy !req
159. and everything that's sacred
Copy !req
160. let me extend to you
my sincerest welcome.
Copy !req
161. Nor's letting them
land.
What's he up to?
Copy !req
162. Words of reason, lady Zara.
Copy !req
163. I fear Lord Nor's
been
judged too harshly.
Copy !req
164. Look sharp, lads.
Copy !req
165. We do want to give our
Copy !req
166. ruler a most fitting welcome.
Copy !req
167. My most humble greeting
to lady Zara of New Krypton.
Copy !req
168. And to the council,
at whose pleasure she rules.
Copy !req
169. Lord Nor, you've taken
Kal-El prisoner.
Copy !req
170. We order his release.
Copy !req
171. 'We also order you
to surrender this
territory.'
Copy !req
172. Of course, my lady, if
that's
what the council wishes.
Copy !req
173. My Lords, my hope had been
to provide you with
Copy !req
174. a full report about
colonizing the Earth.
Copy !req
175. Colonizing?
Copy !req
176. We have a home.
Copy !req
177. A temporary one, I feel.
Copy !req
178. My Lord Trey,
wasn't our
charter
Copy !req
179. to find the most hospitable
home
for our people?
Copy !req
180. Can we think the barren
wasteland we live on
Copy !req
181. 'is preferable
to the lushness of Earth?'
Copy !req
182. Perhaps we should wait
until your report is
complete.
Copy !req
183. Uh, provided,
the townspeople are unharmed.
Copy !req
184. Why, even today, I increased
their rations of food and
water.
Copy !req
185. As for Kal-El, I'm merely
holding him for tribunal
Copy !req
186. 'since he has the power
to elude us.'
Copy !req
187. What tribunal?
Copy !req
188. A tribunal must judge any
charges brought by
Copy !req
189. one Noble against another.
Copy !req
190. And what could Lord Kal-El
possibly be charged with?
Copy !req
191. Same as you, Zara.
Copy !req
192. Destroying
the royal
bloodline..
Copy !req
193. Betraying your people..
Copy !req
194. In short... high treason.
Copy !req
195. What? What?
Copy !req
196. (male #5)
'"So... welcome to New Krypton.
We'll have a world of fun."'
Copy !req
197. Lord Nor commends
the earthly governments
Copy !req
198. for ordering
their military units
Copy !req
199. not to interfere with the
reorganization of this
planet.
Copy !req
200. Being annexed by New Krypton
Copy !req
201. is a lot
like getting amiable
Copy !req
202. some say fun-loving,
new neighbors.
Copy !req
203. Uh, except, of course, you're
going to be our slaves.
Copy !req
204. 'We will take over
one city at a time'
Copy !req
205. beginning with Metropolis.
Copy !req
206. Any city resisting
this opportunity
Copy !req
207. will be annihilated.
Copy !req
208. Thanks for your cooperation
Copy !req
209. and welcome to
the New Krypton family.
Copy !req
210. Great shades of Elvis!
Copy !req
211. Have you ever heard
such unmitigated
gall?
Copy !req
212. And when did that
rascal
switch sides?
Copy !req
213. Well, we're not just
gonna sit still for this.
Copy !req
214. I'm calling the Pentagon.
Copy !req
215. The UN has to let
the military act.
Copy !req
216. Aw, come on, colonel, what
can
you do against these people?
Copy !req
217. You've already lost
men
trying to stop 'em.
Copy !req
218. Face it, you simply
don't have a weapon
Copy !req
219. that's effective
against
these Kryptonians.
Copy !req
220. (male #5)
'Up, up, up!'
Copy !req
221. 'Form up for work detail.'
Copy !req
222. 'You! Up! And you.
Get in line.'
Copy !req
223. Yeah, you,
in the baggy suit.
Copy !req
224. H-hey.
Copy !req
225. Jimmy.
Copy !req
226. Have you noticed these aliens
have a lot of attitude?
Copy !req
227. That Kryptonite that you said
was stolen from S.T.A.R. Labs
Copy !req
228. you hear any talk about it?
Copy !req
229. No, and I've been nosing
around since I got here.
Copy !req
230. Me, too.
Nobody's saying
anything.
Copy !req
231. That Nor's got
some game plan here.
Copy !req
232. I'll bet he's got it.
Copy !req
233. - There.
- You! Concubine!
Copy !req
234. Okay, let's get
something
straight.
Copy !req
235. I am not a concubine.
Copy !req
236. Ha ha. Sure, baby.
Copy !req
237. You're to report to the palace.
The trial's about to commence.
Copy !req
238. Um, hey, what about me?
I'm with the press.
Copy !req
239. This is a Kryptonian matter.
Copy !req
240. No one of your species is to
attend, unless they're
evidence.
Copy !req
241. Evidence?
Copy !req
242. (Nor)
'My Lords of the
Tribunal Of Elders'
Copy !req
243. 'the evidence is all too clear'
Copy !req
244. that Kal-El and Lady Zara
did willingly enter
Copy !req
245. into a cynical pact to delude
the people of New Krypton
Copy !req
246. and place Zara illegally
on the throne.
Copy !req
247. (Kal-El)
That's a lie!
Copy !req
248. Everything I did was for
the good of New Krypton.
Copy !req
249. And who would you be to judge
what is good for New Krypton?
Copy !req
250. My Lords, Kal-El
was raised on earth.
Copy !req
251. He's a virtual half-breed.
Copy !req
252. Awash in the primitive
teachings
of these simple rustics.
Copy !req
253. You watch your mouth.
Copy !req
254. He's the best son
we could possibly hope
for.
Copy !req
255. No doubt.
Copy !req
256. My Lords,
to anoint Kal-El our ruler
Copy !req
257. is to place an Earthling
on the throne.
Copy !req
258. I'm proud of
how
I was raised.
Copy !req
259. If I knew nothing
of Krypton
Copy !req
260. it's because I was
sent here as a baby.
Copy !req
261. Your heritage
was preserved for you
Copy !req
262. in the ship
you arrived in.
Copy !req
263. Writings, holograms.
Copy !req
264. In a language
that I didn't know.
Copy !req
265. You mean a language of no
interest to an Earth child.
Copy !req
266. The same child
who would grow to be a man
Copy !req
267. and give his heart,
to an Earth woman!
Copy !req
268. Do you deny that you're in
love
with this creature?
Copy !req
269. That you had her smuggled into
the palace as your concubine?
Copy !req
270. That you plan
to marry her
Copy !req
271. in direct violation
of Kryptonian law?
Copy !req
272. Silence! Silence!
Copy !req
273. There will be order
to these
proceedings.
Copy !req
274. I left her on Earth.
Copy !req
275. I left her to bring
peace to your planet.
Copy !req
276. Did you now?
Wasn't that a ruse, too?
Copy !req
277. (Clark over recording)
Told you I'd come back.
Copy !req
278. (Lois over recording)
Mmm, and you did. Kiss me.
Copy !req
279. - Don't ever leave me again.
- I won't.
Copy !req
280. I'm sad to say I, uh
witnessed this
myself.
Copy !req
281. There is no question
that he loved this woman
Copy !req
282. 'but also no question of what'
Copy !req
283. his intentions were
when he left Earth.
Copy !req
284. Oh, his intentions.
I'm so glad you brought that
up.
Copy !req
285. Just listen to this.
Copy !req
286. (Zara)
'You saved yourself for her?'
Copy !req
287. (Clark)
'Y-yeah.'
Copy !req
288. How dare you?
Copy !req
289. (Zara)
'Well, I've saved myself
for Lieutenant Ching.'
Copy !req
290. (Clark)
'So, then we're agreed.'
Copy !req
291. 'Not partners in bed,
but partners.'
Copy !req
292. Do you deny that
you never intended
Copy !req
293. to produce an heir
as demanded by law?
Copy !req
294. That this marriage
was never consummated?
Copy !req
295. 'That you had no intention
of doing so?'
Copy !req
296. A sham marriage
for the sole purpose
Copy !req
297. of snatching the throne
from the proper bridegroom.
Copy !req
298. Me!
Copy !req
299. - That is not true!
- Oh, no?
Copy !req
300. (Clark)
'Lois, I'm gonna beat
this guy Nor.'
Copy !req
301. 'And then the Kryptonians
can go back'
Copy !req
302. 'and they can solve
their own problems.'
Copy !req
303. 'And faster than
a speeding bullet'
Copy !req
304. 'you and I
are gonna get married.'
Copy !req
305. In a single speech,
Kal-El reveals his plans
Copy !req
306. to abandon the people
he pledged to rule
Copy !req
307. to commit adultery and bigamy
and murder a fellow Noble!
Copy !req
308. No, you tried
to murder him!
Copy !req
309. Silence, concubine!
Copy !req
310. I am not a concubine!
Copy !req
311. From her own lips, a
confession
of her subterfuge.
Copy !req
312. And where is one shred of proof
Copy !req
313. of this wild-eyed
murder allegation?
Copy !req
314. - I saw the assassin, Tez.
- As did I.
Copy !req
315. And I did, too.
Copy !req
316. Well, there's an airtight
case
if ever I heard one.
Copy !req
317. Oh, don't you see the
railroad
job going on here?
Copy !req
318. All Zara and I are guilty of
is trying to save our people.
Copy !req
319. Because I was grateful
to a planet that gave me
life.
Copy !req
320. And to my father
Jor-El,
who saved my life.
Copy !req
321. My father was honest and good.
Copy !req
322. 'And, so, I imagined
this great society'
Copy !req
323. filled with noble ideals.
Copy !req
324. And I imagined that
saving this society from war
Copy !req
325. was worth turning my back
on everything
Copy !req
326. and everyone that I loved.
Copy !req
327. Oh, it is a noble society,
Kal-El
Copy !req
328. and you are its nightmare.
Copy !req
329. A duplicitous, lying
half-breed
bent on seizing the throne
Copy !req
330. diluting the bloodline,
and ending the culture.
Copy !req
331. My Lords, if you do not
banish this man
Copy !req
332. 'there's no telling what
he'll
do to you and to Lady Zara!'
Copy !req
333. The ruling couple
of New Krypton
Copy !req
334. will most likely be a
half-breed
and his Earthly slut!
Copy !req
335. Nor!
Copy !req
336. 'Silence! Silence!
There will be order!'
Copy !req
337. There will be order!
Copy !req
338. Well, Lady Zara..
Copy !req
339. On the bridal bed at last.
Copy !req
340. Dare I hope to soon
be joining you?
Copy !req
341. You proved nothing
in court.
Copy !req
342. All you did was prey on
their
fears and prejudices.
Copy !req
343. Brilliantly, if I do say so.
Copy !req
344. Mmm.
Copy !req
345. Oh, I'm sipping
from the wedding cup.
Copy !req
346. I do take to all this
quite naturally.
Copy !req
347. 'Oh, by the way..'
Copy !req
348. I've begged the council
for leniency in your case.
Copy !req
349. Do you, uh, care to show
your gratitude
Copy !req
350. in some, uh, inventive way?
Copy !req
351. Get out.
Copy !req
352. Tossing your husband
from the bedchamber
Copy !req
353. is no way to start
a marriage.
Copy !req
354. You'll never
be
my husband.
Copy !req
355. Oh, I beg to differ.
Copy !req
356. With Kal-El gone,
I'm next pig at the trough.
Copy !req
357. And I assure you,
I'll have no trouble
Copy !req
358. consummating the marriage.
Copy !req
359. Not feeling romantic,
dearest?
Copy !req
360. I swear this will be
the last time you deny me.
Copy !req
361. You've lived on this
idiot planet too long.
Copy !req
362. And grown
far too emotional!
Copy !req
363. (Trey)
'This chamber
will come to order.'
Copy !req
364. 'Come to order!'
Copy !req
365. Having considered
all the evidence
Copy !req
366. the tribunal
will
render its
verdict.
Copy !req
367. Kal-El, of the charges of
high treason and conspiracy
Copy !req
368. the tribunal
finds you..
Copy !req
369. guilty as charged.
Copy !req
370. And we do hereby direct for
you
to be banished forever.
Copy !req
371. 'That your body
be disintegrated'
Copy !req
372. and your molecules scattered
over countless distant
galaxies.
Copy !req
373. That is the
sentence
of this court.
Copy !req
374. I, uh, assume the sentence
will
be carried out posthaste.
Copy !req
375. What about Kal-El's appeal?
Copy !req
376. Well, admittedly,
he's well-built
Copy !req
377. but he's a trifle dull
for my taste.
Copy !req
378. - I meant his legal options.
- Oh, that.
Copy !req
379. There are none.
Copy !req
380. Council, you've been used,
lied to, and manipulated
Copy !req
381. to get me out to the way, so
that Nor can threaten
Copy !req
382. the people of this planet
with extinction.
Copy !req
383. The ravings of a condemned man,
My Lords
Copy !req
384. of which there's not
one shred of proof.
Copy !req
385. Kal-El is your ruler.
Copy !req
386. Certainly his case is entitled
to more consideration than
this.
Copy !req
387. Kal-El only rules
so long as he's married to
you.
Copy !req
388. (Trey)
The tribunal has annulled your
marriage.
Copy !req
389. What?
Copy !req
390. A mongrel dog unfit to lead
Copy !req
391. unworthy of your hand!
Copy !req
392. An impostor,
who's been unmasked.
Copy !req
393. Any last words, mongrel?
Copy !req
394. I am a man of few words.
Copy !req
395. Slit their throats.
Copy !req
396. No!
Copy !req
397. One day you'll have
nothing to hide behind.
Copy !req
398. Then it'll just be
you and me.
Copy !req
399. And you'll be made to answer
for all the lives
Copy !req
400. that you've ruined.
Copy !req
401. Come along, gentlemen.
Copy !req
402. You're invited
to a wedding.
Copy !req
403. No!
Copy !req
404. Clark.
Copy !req
405. Clark, don't go.
Copy !req
406. Honey, a lot more lives
are at stake than ours.
Copy !req
407. Clark, get out of here.
Copy !req
408. I can't do that, dad.
Copy !req
409. They'd kill you.
Copy !req
410. Thus ends the ceremony
which binds you
together.
Copy !req
411. Kiss me, my pet.
Copy !req
412. I'd rather die.
Copy !req
413. My Lord Nor,
I have urgent news.
Copy !req
414. Metropolis has
refused to surrender.
Copy !req
415. I knew this
would happen.
Copy !req
416. Shut up... beloved.
Copy !req
417. Metropolis?
Copy !req
418. I was conducting delicate
negotiations
Copy !req
419. for our people
to share the city.
Copy !req
420. By ordering it
to surrender?
Copy !req
421. I had to have
some leverage.
Copy !req
422. Lord Nor is
our leader now, Trey.
Copy !req
423. He is not
to be questioned.
Copy !req
424. I see.
Copy !req
425. Any response, sir?
Copy !req
426. That was yes.
Copy !req
427. My Lord Jen Mai,
alert my generals.
Copy !req
428. We will proceed to Metropolis
where we will destroy the
city.
Copy !req
429. Uhh!
Copy !req
430. He's mad.
Copy !req
431. Yes, he is.
Copy !req
432. Careful.
Copy !req
433. 'As I'm sure
I needn't remind you..'
Copy !req
434. such words
are treasonous.
Copy !req
435. Lord Trey, there's
been an oversight.
Copy !req
436. The court must allow two Nobles
vying for the throne
Copy !req
437. to settle their
differences privately.
Copy !req
438. Yes. An ancient
law,
almost never used.
Copy !req
439. In any event,
Kal-El
didn't request it.
Copy !req
440. He didn't know of it.
I barely knew of it.
Copy !req
441. As a traitor, he's lost
the
right, stripped of his
title.
Copy !req
442. The verdict
is
irreversible.
Copy !req
443. If he was not informed of
the right before the trial
Copy !req
444. the verdict is illegal.
Copy !req
445. No.
Copy !req
446. Reverse the procedure
at once! Bring Kal-El back!
Copy !req
447. You'll do
no such thing!
Copy !req
448. Kal-El was denied
his legal rights.
Copy !req
449. Lord Nor will determine
his rights.
Copy !req
450. Nor follows the same laws
we all do!
Copy !req
451. You do this, Trey, and
you'll answer to him.
Copy !req
452. If Nor breaks the law,
he answers to me!
Copy !req
453. Hey, Kal-El is being
scattered
all over the universe.
Copy !req
454. Shouldn't somebody
do something
Copy !req
455. and maybe you could
measure your manhood later?
Copy !req
456. Oh, Clark, honey.
Copy !req
457. I'd thought
we'd lost you.
Copy !req
458. Easy, mom, I'm still
a little bit shaky.
Copy !req
459. (male #6)
'What's the matter?'
Copy !req
460. (male #7)
'It's mine!'
Copy !req
461. Where's your master?
Copy !req
462. Enjoying himself immensely.
Copy !req
463. And why are you here,
and not looking
Copy !req
464. after my interests
back at the palace?
Copy !req
465. The palace is here.
Copy !req
466. Kal-El has exercised
the right of
challenge.
Copy !req
467. Kal-El?
Copy !req
468. He lives.
Copy !req
469. The Tribunal determined he must
be given the right to challenge.
Copy !req
470. The traitorous
Chief Of The Tribunal,
master.
Copy !req
471. And you probably feel it
would be prudent to accept.
Copy !req
472. Well, there is a certain public
relations upside to a duel, yes.
Copy !req
473. Wherein it is certain
you
will emerge the
victor.
Copy !req
474. Lord Nor, Kal-El
is no longer an outcast.
Copy !req
475. Further, I can assure him
the support
Copy !req
476. of at least
a portion of the nobility.
Copy !req
477. Avoid a massive battle,
a battle you well could
lose
Copy !req
478. and accept the challenge.
Copy !req
479. Mind you, this duel
belongs to you and Kal-El.
Copy !req
480. Your warriors are
restricted
to their barracks.
Copy !req
481. Is that clear?
Copy !req
482. Perfectly.
Copy !req
483. The street upon
which I now stand.
Copy !req
484. Noon tomorrow.
Copy !req
485. You're doing the
right
thing, master.
Copy !req
486. Kal-El is as good as dead.
Copy !req
487. Oh, be still,
you sickening sycophant.
Copy !req
488. Although,
you're not incorrect.
Copy !req
489. I do possess
the superior skill.
Copy !req
490. There's that.
Copy !req
491. - And I cheat.
- That, too.
Copy !req
492. What bothers me, Dr. Klein,
is that the duel is coming up
Copy !req
493. and Lord Nor seems
completely unconcerned.
Copy !req
494. Well, one reason may be that he
has the missing Kryptonite.
Copy !req
495. Oh, boys, excuse me. That's
my grandmother's lamp.
Copy !req
496. Sorry, Lois.
I meant to move that.
Copy !req
497. 'By the way, we're out
of high-fat, high-salt'
Copy !req
498. nutritionally worthless
snack items.
Copy !req
499. Well, I nearly
cleaned out the store.
Copy !req
500. I know, but we're all
nervous,
and since we don't
Copy !req
501. have to worry about calories
or cholesterol—
Copy !req
502. Trust me, I know
all about it.
Copy !req
503. Oh, boys, not the fish tank!
Not the... fish tank.
Copy !req
504. Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Dr. Klein.
Copy !req
505. Well, yeah, don't you agree
that Nor could have been able
Copy !req
506. to pull off the robbery
without
any signs of forced entry?
Copy !req
507. You're a very
quick study.
Copy !req
508. Nor has been training with
the Drei since childhood
Copy !req
509. but you've already mastered
its finer points
Copy !req
510. as well as
the 980 basic moves.
Copy !req
511. And you've won three
out of four matches.
Copy !req
512. That's good, isn't it?
Copy !req
513. Yes. But I could
still beat you.
Copy !req
514. - You sure?
- Yes.
Copy !req
515. Well, if not Nor, who else
had
access to the vault?
Copy !req
516. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
517. Zara, stir the fudge
and turn off the popcorn.
Copy !req
518. Which is which?
Copy !req
519. Finally, someone worse
in the kitchen than me.
Copy !req
520. You can beat me, huh?
Copy !req
521. Go ahead.
Copy !req
522. Oh, gotta go.
Copy !req
523. What the heck was that?
Copy !req
524. There is a mind-set crucial
to all Drei masters
Copy !req
525. a point in the match where
the man becomes the weapon.
Copy !req
526. All else vanishes.
Copy !req
527. No doubts, no heart,
no mercy, just the kill.
Copy !req
528. You've not
shown us
that.
Copy !req
529. And I won't,
uh, because that's not
me.
Copy !req
530. Yes, it is, Clark.
Copy !req
531. It's part of the Kryptonian
will
that lies within you.
Copy !req
532. I've never
believed
in killing.
Copy !req
533. I've closed my mind to
Kryptonian instincts like
that.
Copy !req
534. Then I doubt you
will survive the duel.
Copy !req
535. A change in uniform, Kal-El?
Copy !req
536. In whose name
are you fighting?
Copy !req
537. I'm fighting
for my people.
Copy !req
538. (Nor)
'Don't you trust me?'
Copy !req
539. I assure you
we're quite alone.
Copy !req
540. Did I mention?
I'm quite good at this.
Copy !req
541. M'lady, all are
accounted for.
Copy !req
542. Nor's men are
safely
in their barracks.
Copy !req
543. Dr. Klein, what is it?
Copy !req
544. Well, of course
you can trust me.
Copy !req
545. Even if it is a rumor,
if you have information
Copy !req
546. about who else had access
to that Kryptonite
Copy !req
547. you have to tell me now.
Copy !req
548. What did you say?
Copy !req
549. Ohh! That guy just
sucker-punched Superman.
Copy !req
550. This is code name
ready money.
Copy !req
551. It's a go ahead on deployment
of lethal gas in three
minutes.
Copy !req
552. Lethal gas?
Copy !req
553. Yes, we're just
covering our bets
Copy !req
554. in case Superman can't
beat this Nor guy in combat.
Copy !req
555. Ordinary gas wouldn't
be
lethal to Kryptonians
Copy !req
556. would it, colonel?
Copy !req
557. Unless it was
laced with
Kryptonite.
Copy !req
558. The missing Kryptonite's been
in
your hands the whole time.
Copy !req
559. I know tactics.
Copy !req
560. Now, if we take Nor down,
his followers will cave.
Copy !req
561. We just didn't have
a way of getting to
him.
Copy !req
562. Not until you had
Superman for bait.
Copy !req
563. If you'll excuse me.
Copy !req
564. - Stop the gas.
- No can do.
Copy !req
565. Superman has saved
all of our lives
Copy !req
566. even yours,
thousands of times
Copy !req
567. and you repay him
with betrayal?
Copy !req
568. It was
a tactical
decision.
Copy !req
569. Now, you have anything else you
want to say, little lady?
Copy !req
570. Ohh!
Copy !req
571. No.
Copy !req
572. (Lois)
'Superman!'
Copy !req
573. They're going to hit the two
of you with Kryptonite gas.
Copy !req
574. You've got to
get out of here.
Copy !req
575. Only one of us
leaves this place.
Copy !req
576. Your world is mine.
Copy !req
577. You've got to
get out of here.
Copy !req
578. You did it.
Copy !req
579. No doubts, no
mercy,
just the kill.
Copy !req
580. Clark, the
gas.
Come on.
Copy !req
581. No, I can't
leave him here.
Copy !req
582. He's still alive.
Copy !req
583. Nor had no intention
of facing you alone.
Copy !req
584. (Jimmy)
'Lois!'
Copy !req
585. 'Lois!'
Copy !req
586. Hold it!
Don't go in there!
Copy !req
587. They didn't make it.
Copy !req
588. Oh, no, he's not dead.
He's not dead.
Copy !req
589. You're not dead.
Copy !req
590. You're alive.
Copy !req
591. (Lois)
'There you go.'
Copy !req
592. Mmm.
Copy !req
593. Thank you, honey.
Copy !req
594. So Nor and Ran
saved my life?
Copy !req
595. Well, they saved your life
by absorbing most of
Copy !req
596. the gas with their bodies,
after
first knocking you senseless.
Copy !req
597. I keep telling you,
there's some good in
everyone.
Copy !req
598. Oh. What about Colonel Cash?
Copy !req
599. - He's in jail, by the way.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
600. Kal-El, this will
require your signature.
Copy !req
601. What is it?
Copy !req
602. Um... orders for my arrest.
Copy !req
603. Now, before you say more,
let me assure you
Copy !req
604. I accept full responsibility
for the gravity of my acts.
Copy !req
605. The ease with which Lord Nor
appealed to my arrogance
Copy !req
606. my fear, my,
my mistrust of you..
Copy !req
607. was shameful, shameful.
Copy !req
608. Further, I accept with
humility
whatever punishment
Copy !req
609. you and the new tribunal
deem proper.
Copy !req
610. And who will advise Lady
Zara
while you're imprisoned?
Copy !req
611. She'll need the steady
hand of a statesman
Copy !req
612. to keep the
factions
in line.
Copy !req
613. Well, isn't that
what you'll, uh..
Copy !req
614. I mean, aren't you..
Copy !req
615. Trey, the more that I
try
to be Kal-El
Copy !req
616. the more that I
know
I am Clark.
Copy !req
617. Zara will do what she'd
been
prepared for since birth.
Copy !req
618. 'Rule wisely over New Krypton.'
Copy !req
619. Her place is there,
with the man that she
loves.
Copy !req
620. Mine is here on Earth..
Copy !req
621. with Lois.
Copy !req
622. Good-bye, Clark.
Copy !req
623. We're grateful beyond words.
Copy !req
624. I said once that you had been
on
this sloppy planet too long
Copy !req
625. 'and now I think
it's true of me.'
Copy !req
626. For the first time in
my life, I have tears.
Copy !req
627. It seems like years ago
we stood at this window
Copy !req
628. and said goodbye
to each other.
Copy !req
629. That was the
worst
night of my life.
Copy !req
630. Did any part of meeting up
with your roots feel good?
Copy !req
631. I mean, was it
satisfying in any way
Copy !req
632. or was it
a disappointment to you?
Copy !req
633. Maybe all those.
Copy !req
634. I kept waiting for this
incredible feeling of
connection
Copy !req
635. you know, like I was
exactly
where I belonged.
Copy !req
636. But that's only
happened
to me once in my life.
Copy !req
637. When?
Copy !req
638. The day I met you.
Copy !req
639. For a spaceman, you are the most
romantic person I've ever known.
Copy !req
640. Earth guys don't stand
a chance against you.
Copy !req
641. Mmm.
Copy !req
642. I told you
I'd keep it
safe.
Copy !req
643. As safe as
your love for me?
Copy !req
644. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
645. Marry me, Lois.
Copy !req
646. Let's not plan,
let's not wait
Copy !req
647. let's not let clone-makers
Copy !req
648. or psycho psychiatrists
or women who shrink people
Copy !req
649. into little people
keep us apart.
Copy !req
650. Just marry me.
Copy !req
651. You know..
Copy !req
652. that's precisely
what I was thinking.
Copy !req
