1. Previously on "Smallville"...
Copy !req
2. Jor-El: You must find
the human vessel and destroy it.
Copy !req
3. The cost of one life
is the price that must be paid.
Copy !req
4. Even if that life
is your son?
Copy !req
5. I don't know how I could have
ever loved you.
Copy !req
6. I don't know if I'm ever
gonna see you again.
Copy !req
7. You need to know the truth
about me.
Copy !req
8. I won't let you destroy this
planet like you did Krypton.
Copy !req
9. You don't have a choice.
Copy !req
10. Then it begins.
Copy !req
11. Aah!
Copy !req
12. What have I done?
Copy !req
13. You've opened the portal
for Zod!
Copy !req
14. Mr. Luthor!
Aah!
Copy !req
15. And now the season premiere
of "Smallville."
Copy !req
16. Hello!
Copy !req
17. Is anyone there?
Copy !req
18. Thank you.
Copy !req
19. Welcome to the phantom zone.
Copy !req
20. No! No!
Copy !req
21. Mr. Luthor!
Copy !req
22. Mr. Luthor, we need
to get you off the street.
Copy !req
23. Your son's already inside.
Copy !req
24. Lex is...
Copy !req
25. No!
Copy !req
26. Go. I'll get her.
Copy !req
27. The city's
tearing itself apart.
Copy !req
28. All those people...
Copy !req
29. we have to help them.
Copy !req
30. Help them?
Copy !req
31. With the powers fine gave you,
you could end the riots.
Copy !req
32. You could
save everyone, Lex.
Copy !req
33. Lex Luthor is dead.
Copy !req
34. My name is Zod.
Copy !req
35. That was him, wasn't it?
That was Zod.
Copy !req
36. Clark must not have been able
to get to Lex in time to...
Copy !req
37. To...
Copy !req
38. Stop him.
Copy !req
39. Zod has taken over Lex.
Copy !req
40. Clark.
Copy !req
41. You don't think
Zod actually...
Copy !req
42. It's the dagger.
Copy !req
43. The dagger that Jor-El
gave to Clark —
Copy !req
44. it might still be there
at the farm.
Copy !req
45. We can use that
to stop Zod.
Copy !req
46. You mean kill him?
Copy !req
47. I'll make my way
to the daily planet
Copy !req
48. and see if I can
learn anything else
Copy !req
49. about this Kryptonian virus.
Copy !req
50. Maybe if I can match
those symbols
Copy !req
51. to the ones
that you were scribbling —
Copy !req
52. that won't help us.
We...
Copy !req
53. We need Clark
to decipher them.
Copy !req
54. But you're Jor-El's oracle.
Copy !req
55. I mean,
don't you have access
Copy !req
56. to some sort of
kryptonian/english dictionary?
Copy !req
57. The connection that I felt
with Jor-El and the fortress...
Copy !req
58. it's gone.
Copy !req
59. I can't feel his presence
anymore.
Copy !req
60. But if we can get to
that dagger, we can stop Zod.
Copy !req
61. We can stop all of this.
Copy !req
62. I can't make it
back to Smallville
Copy !req
63. with my leg like this.
Copy !req
64. Here.
Copy !req
65. Take care, miss Sullivan.
Copy !req
66. You too, Mr. Luthor.
Copy !req
67. Clark...
Copy !req
68. Wherever you are, I could
really use your help right now.
Copy !req
69. Where are you from?
Copy !req
70. Where?
Copy !req
71. I was born on Krypton.
I was raised on earth.
Copy !req
72. Earth?
Copy !req
73. Kal-El?
Copy !req
74. How do you know
my Kryptonian name?
Copy !req
75. I knew your father.
Copy !req
76. Let go!
Where are you taking me?
Copy !req
77. Zod doesn't take orders.
He gives them.
Copy !req
78. What is Zod?
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
79. Oh, God.
Copy !req
80. You're one of those things
from that ship.
Copy !req
81. Aethyr and nam-ek?
Copy !req
82. Mere foot soldiers
here at my command.
Copy !req
83. Whatever is happening,
it's not you.
Copy !req
84. It's the ship.
It's fine controlling you.
Copy !req
85. You have to fight it, Lex.
Copy !req
86. I already told you,
Lex is gone.
Copy !req
87. I don't believe that.
Copy !req
88. Do you really think
Zod cares
Copy !req
89. what a primitive like you
believes?
Copy !req
90. If Lex is really dead,
Copy !req
91. then why waste your time
with a primitive like me?
Copy !req
92. To bear witness to the end
of the human era
Copy !req
93. and the rebirth of Krypton.
Copy !req
94. Krypton?
Copy !req
95. A shining jewel
in a vast, dark universe.
Copy !req
96. And you have the privilege
Copy !req
97. of playing a part
in its resurrection.
Copy !req
98. There's no escaping
what's about to happen.
Copy !req
99. Lois?
Copy !req
100. Lois?
Copy !req
101. Lois?
Copy !req
102. Lois.
Copy !req
103. Oh, my God!
Lois!
Copy !req
104. Lois!
Copy !req
105. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
106. Sweetie.
Copy !req
107. Everything is gonna
be all right.
Copy !req
108. I'm gonna
get us out of here.
Copy !req
109. Lois.
Copy !req
110. Lois!
Copy !req
111. Mayday.
Copy !req
112. Mayday!
Copy !req
113. Our plane is down!
Copy !req
114. Can anyone hear me?
Copy !req
115. Lois.
Copy !req
116. Lois.
Copy !req
117. Jor-El: Martha Kent.
Copy !req
118. Jor-El.
Copy !req
119. This is the fortress
Clark told me about.
Copy !req
120. Why did you bring us here?
Copy !req
121. Why did you crash our plane?
Copy !req
122. You were taken as pawns
Copy !req
123. by the brain
interactive construct,
Copy !req
124. the being you know
as Milton fine.
Copy !req
125. Clark?
Copy !req
126. I gave him a dagger
to kill the vessel of Zod.
Copy !req
127. Instead, he chose
to use it against fine.
Copy !req
128. Where is he?
Where... Where is Clark?
Copy !req
129. The dagger is part
of this fortress.
Copy !req
130. Plunging it into fine
destroyed all copies of him —
Copy !req
131. also damaged the structure
and released Zod.
Copy !req
132. What happened
to my son, Jor-El?
Copy !req
133. Banished forever by Zod.
Copy !req
134. Bring him back.
Copy !req
135. You have to bring him home.
Copy !req
136. Not within my power.
Copy !req
137. His destiny is now his own.
Copy !req
138. I've lost my husband
and now my son
Copy !req
139. because of your games!
Copy !req
140. We have both lost much,
Martha Kent.
Copy !req
141. But you must put aside
your anguish
Copy !req
142. if you wish
to save the world.
Copy !req
143. Kal-El's mission
must be completed.
Copy !req
144. Retrieve the dagger
Copy !req
145. and kill Zod's vessel —
Copy !req
146. Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
147. You want me to murder Lex?
Copy !req
148. Zod has taken over his body
Copy !req
149. and given him all the powers
of a true Kryptonian.
Copy !req
150. How am I
supposed to do that?
Copy !req
151. You must find a way
or all is lost.
Copy !req
152. All right.
Copy !req
153. Send me back.
Copy !req
154. Everything you've done
for Kal-El —
Copy !req
155. you have
my deepest gratitude.
Copy !req
156. I couldn't have wished
for a brighter light
Copy !req
157. to guide my son.
Copy !req
158. Farewell, Martha Kent.
Copy !req
159. Who are you?
Copy !req
160. Raya.
Copy !req
161. Not that names matter here.
Copy !req
162. Where is "here," exactly?
Copy !req
163. Jor-El created this place
Copy !req
164. to hold criminals from
the 28 known inhabited galaxies.
Copy !req
165. So, it's a prison?
Copy !req
166. That makes you... An inmate.
Copy !req
167. I may be trapped here,
Copy !req
168. but I'm not
one of the prisoners.
Copy !req
169. What, am I supposed to
just trust you?
Copy !req
170. I'm running a little low
on that lately.
Copy !req
171. Good.
Copy !req
172. In the zone,
trust can get you killed...
Copy !req
173. or worse.
Copy !req
174. The most vicious offenders
are condemned for eternity,
Copy !req
175. their corporeal bodies
destroyed,
Copy !req
176. their essence
haunting the wasteland.
Copy !req
177. Phantoms, like the ones
that attacked me.
Copy !req
178. The crystal your father gave me
is the only thing they fear.
Copy !req
179. How did you know Jor-El?
Copy !req
180. I was one of his assistants.
Copy !req
181. When you were 5?
Copy !req
182. Krypton was destroyed
years ago.
Copy !req
183. Time is meaningless here.
Copy !req
184. I wanted to stay with Jor-El
in the final hours.
Copy !req
185. But he wouldn't hear of it.
Copy !req
186. He thought I'd have a better
chance in the phantom zone.
Copy !req
187. Why didn't he and my mother
come with you?
Copy !req
188. Because he wouldn't stop
trying to save Krypton,
Copy !req
189. and your mother
wouldn't leave his side.
Copy !req
190. This is all I have left
of your father.
Copy !req
191. Every day,
he still saves my life.
Copy !req
192. I have to go.
Copy !req
193. I... Have to stop Zod.
Copy !req
194. Zod?
Copy !req
195. He's on earth because of me.
Copy !req
196. Raya, you were
my father's assistant.
Copy !req
197. You helped him
create this place.
Copy !req
198. Is there a way out?
Copy !req
199. Zod is a soldier.
He will kill you.
Copy !req
200. If there was a way for you
to save everyone you loved,
Copy !req
201. wouldn't you risk dying?
Copy !req
202. You truly are
your father's son.
Copy !req
203. Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
Don't shoot!
Copy !req
204. Okay?
Copy !req
205. I work here.
You don't have —
Copy !req
206. Chloe?
Copy !req
207. Hey.
Copy !req
208. This isn't 'cause I didn't
call you back, is it?
Copy !req
209. Jimmy Olsen.
Copy !req
210. How did you know
to come here?
Copy !req
211. This is Lex's home.
Copy !req
212. If there wasn't some part of him
still alive inside you,
Copy !req
213. how did you remember
this place?
Copy !req
214. You had feelings
for this human.
Copy !req
215. Yes.
Copy !req
216. His feelings for you
were also strong.
Copy !req
217. They left
an unpleasant taste
Copy !req
218. when I consumed
his essence.
Copy !req
219. This virus
crippling your technology
Copy !req
220. can only be stopped at
the original point of infection.
Copy !req
221. It's the only reason
I'm here.
Copy !req
222. You got rid of the virus.
Copy !req
223. I needed
to acquire information.
Copy !req
224. Power.
Copy !req
225. It would take days for
your people to restore it...
Copy !req
226. If they had that much time.
Copy !req
227. The Pentagon?
Copy !req
228. There's something there
I need.
Copy !req
229. What are you going to do?
Copy !req
230. Finish what I've started.
Copy !req
231. The black ship would have sent
the pulse around the world,
Copy !req
232. reshaping its crust.
Copy !req
233. Into what?
Copy !req
234. My home.
Copy !req
235. The planet you were
talking about — Krypton.
Copy !req
236. Only this time
it will be perfect —
Copy !req
237. the start of an empire,
ruled by the bloodline of Zod.
Copy !req
238. I thought you needed
the black ship.
Copy !req
239. Its hard drive can still
initiate the pulse,
Copy !req
240. but I need access
to your military satellites
Copy !req
241. to broadcast it.
Copy !req
242. I'm not gonna let you
do this.
Copy !req
243. There's nothing
to be afraid of.
Copy !req
244. The fate of your race
will not be yours
Copy !req
245. if you give me what I want.
Copy !req
246. What?
Copy !req
247. An heir.
Copy !req
248. Aaaaaah!
Copy !req
249. We'll discuss this further
Copy !req
250. when I return
from your Pentagon.
Copy !req
251. Aah!
Copy !req
252. Aah!
Copy !req
253. Why haven't you
used the gateway yourself?
Copy !req
254. It won't open for anyone
except the house of El.
Copy !req
255. Your father kept it
a secret,
Copy !req
256. a back door in case anyone tried
to imprison his family here.
Copy !req
257. Why would he have to worry
about that?
Copy !req
258. Jor-El was a great man,
and like all great men,
Copy !req
259. there were those
that wished him ill.
Copy !req
260. Aah!
Copy !req
261. Kal-El.
Copy !req
262. Nam-ek! Wait!
Don't kill him.
Copy !req
263. Why should I
spare his life —
Copy !req
264. the one who sent me here?
Copy !req
265. He can open the gateway.
Copy !req
266. I was bringing him to you.
Copy !req
267. He can free us all.
Copy !req
268. Martha.
Copy !req
269. Martha.
Copy !req
270. You're all right.
Copy !req
271. Your son...
Copy !req
272. Lex —
Copy !req
273. I know, I know.
Copy !req
274. I know what I have to do.
Copy !req
275. I...
Copy !req
276. Where's Clark?
Copy !req
277. Lana.
Copy !req
278. I don't know where Clark is.
Copy !req
279. I heard him talking to Chloe
about killing Lex.
Copy !req
280. I didn't understand
what was happening.
Copy !req
281. Lana, where's Lex?
We have to find him.
Copy !req
282. It's too late.
Copy !req
283. The things he can do now —
Copy !req
284. I don't think there's anyone
on earth who can stop him.
Copy !req
285. There might be.
Copy !req
286. I can kill him with this.
Copy !req
287. You would never get close enough
to even use that.
Copy !req
288. But I can.
Copy !req
289. A lot of people are going to die
if you don't let me do this.
Copy !req
290. It's the only way.
Copy !req
291. That's all it takes
to end the world?
Copy !req
292. And begin a new one.
Copy !req
293. You freed yourself
but didn't run.
Copy !req
294. Why?
Copy !req
295. I realized there was nothing
to run to.
Copy !req
296. Sometimes...
Copy !req
297. To survive,
you have to give up the things
Copy !req
298. that you care about...
Copy !req
299. and just give in
to your fate.
Copy !req
300. You would give me an heir...
Copy !req
301. Willingly?
Copy !req
302. The first of many.
Copy !req
303. Perhaps I've underestimated
the females of your species.
Copy !req
304. Maybe you just
underestimated me.
Copy !req
305. You shouldn't play with things
you don't understand.
Copy !req
306. Did you really think
you could make a difference?
Copy !req
307. Nothing can change
the fate of your world.
Copy !req
308. So, I was down
in the basement,
Copy !req
309. scanning archive photos
into the database,
Copy !req
310. when everything went screwy.
Copy !req
311. First official day
at the daily planet,
Copy !req
312. and the world decides to end.
Copy !req
313. I can't believe
you actually work here.
Copy !req
314. What is that?
Copy !req
315. Jimmy!
Copy !req
316. Since when are there earthquakes
in Metropolis?
Copy !req
317. The others
will be here soon.
Copy !req
318. I'll never help you.
Copy !req
319. Open the gateway.
Copy !req
320. He doesn't know how.
Copy !req
321. But I do.
Copy !req
322. Give me the knife.
Copy !req
323. Aah!
Copy !req
324. His blood,
the blood of the house of El —
Copy !req
325. it's the key
to open the gateway.
Copy !req
326. I trusted you.
Copy !req
327. Trust is for the weak.
Copy !req
328. You're right.
Copy !req
329. Nam-ek!
Copy !req
330. The gateway! Go!
Copy !req
331. Aah!
Copy !req
332. Raya!
Copy !req
333. Aah!
Copy !req
334. What's happening?
Copy !req
335. It's Zod!
Copy !req
336. Clark!
Copy !req
337. Where is he?
Copy !req
338. You could've been by my side
as Krypton is reborn.
Copy !req
339. Now you'll die
with all the rest.
Copy !req
340. Let her go!
Copy !req
341. Kal-El.
Copy !req
342. Aah!
Copy !req
343. I don't know
how you escaped the zone,
Copy !req
344. but you were safer
where you were.
Copy !req
345. Did you really think
you could win, Kal-El?
Copy !req
346. You're an idealistic fool,
just like your father.
Copy !req
347. So easily beaten.
Copy !req
348. Disappointing.
Copy !req
349. I won't let you
destroy earth...
Copy !req
350. like you did Krypton.
Copy !req
351. Jor-El couldn't stop me,
and neither will his son.
Copy !req
352. Then I'll die trying.
Copy !req
353. But you won't be
the only one.
Copy !req
354. These humans
you care so much about...
Copy !req
355. Swear your allegiance to me,
Copy !req
356. and I'll allow the ones
you love the most to live.
Copy !req
357. Kneel before Zod.
Copy !req
358. Kneel.
Copy !req
359. My father sends his regards.
Copy !req
360. Jor-El.
Copy !req
361. Aah!
Copy !req
362. Hey, Smallville.
Copy !req
363. Hey, how are you feeling?
Copy !req
364. Bad enough to know
I'm still alive.
Copy !req
365. Guess I have your mom
to thank for that.
Copy !req
366. You know, honestly...
Copy !req
367. I don't even remember
the plane going down.
Copy !req
368. The cabin lost pressure
and I was gasping for breath
Copy !req
369. and then I was
in this palace of ice.
Copy !req
370. It was the most beautiful thing
I'd ever seen.
Copy !req
371. I was bathed
in this warm light,
Copy !req
372. and I knew everything
was gonna be okay.
Copy !req
373. Lois, you were, uh,
hurt pretty badly.
Copy !req
374. Maybe you were hallucinating.
Copy !req
375. No.
Copy !req
376. It was real.
Copy !req
377. I think I died
and went to heaven.
Copy !req
378. Then I'm glad you're back.
Copy !req
379. Lana!
Are you all right?
Copy !req
380. What happened?
Copy !req
381. You don't remember?
Copy !req
382. I was in the field
with you...
Copy !req
383. And everything went white.
Copy !req
384. Next thing I know,
I woke up here.
Copy !req
385. Is that why
you're afraid of me?
Copy !req
386. Is all this because of me?
Copy !req
387. Lex, you weren't yourself.
Copy !req
388. The things you did —
it wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
389. I tried to stop it.
Copy !req
390. Lex, I almost killed you.
Copy !req
391. Lana...
Copy !req
392. Hey.
Copy !req
393. I would have done
the same thing.
Copy !req
394. Look, I can never make up
for what happened.
Copy !req
395. All I can do is move forward
Copy !req
396. and try to rebuild
everything I've damaged.
Copy !req
397. That might not be easy.
Copy !req
398. Well, nothing worth it
ever is.
Copy !req
399. Clark.
Copy !req
400. Oh, my God.
I thought you were dead.
Copy !req
401. Hi.
Copy !req
402. Um... So did I...
Copy !req
403. For a while there.
Copy !req
404. What happened?
Where did you go?
Copy !req
405. A place I never
want to go again.
Copy !req
406. Are you okay?
Copy !req
407. Yeah. Everything's great
now that you're here.
Copy !req
408. Um...
Copy !req
409. Chloe...
Copy !req
410. Before I left...
Copy !req
411. There was this moment
that we, um...
Copy !req
412. You mean
when I laid one on you?
Copy !req

Copy !req
440. Lionel told me his connection
to Jor-El is gone.
Copy !req
441. Along with any influence
he had over him.
Copy !req
442. Maybe we're all better off
without Jor-El in our lives.
Copy !req
443. I took raya's crystal to
the fortress for safekeeping.
Copy !req
444. I tried to talk to Jor-El,
but he wouldn't —
Copy !req
445. he wouldn't answer.
Copy !req

450. Lana's...
Copy !req
451. I don't know
where to go from here.
Copy !req
452. I didn't either
when I was your age.
Copy !req
453. Just follow your heart...
Copy !req
454. And you'll always do
the right thing.
Copy !req
455. Maybe some Kryptonians
believed the same thing.
Copy !req
456. Jor-El sacrificed himself
trying to save Krypton.
Copy !req
457. Raya died saving me.
Copy !req
458. Every world needs
its heroes, Clark.
