This is who she is now.

No one in the history of Krypton

has ever been able to withstand
Somatic Reconditioning.

Are you back inside my mind?

Very little of me remains
within you, but enough...

When did you get good at this?

- To save you.
- I need you to find the Codex

- and then bring it to me.
- You know my terms.

- Complete surrender.
- That's it?

That's your offer?

General Zod,

you have one hour to begin
withdrawing from Wegthor.

If you refuse, Lyta dies.

If you go through with
this, you do it alone.

- I was afraid you'd say that.
- What are you doing?

- Whatever it takes.
- I'm picking up

lots of warm bodies behind there.

Zod claimed he was
retreating, but instead,

he amassed his forces underground,

waiting to ambush us the
moment we returned Lyta-Zod.

- You have betrayed us...
- No.

And for that, you must be punished.

Jax, don't do it!

Apologies, General,
but I have urgent news.

Scouts in the Outlands have
pinpointed Doomsday's location.

Headed toward an ice cave system,

south of Kandor.

Have we regained control

of our public broadcast systems?

I believe the rebels still
have control of it, sir.

You mean to tell me that
all those people down there

are still watching replays
of my mother's execution?

I, um, don't know,
sir. It's possible, sir.

I... really, I don't know.

Then perhaps you should find out.

Put them in a secure cell.

You think that he saw?

Seg?

I think the whole of Krypton saw.

Of one thing I'm certain going forward.

There will be no secrets. I promise.

I'm not going to pretend to
be the same kind of leader

that Jax was. The truth is,

she's irreplaceable. I don't
have her tactical mind,

I don't have her experience...

but I have a belief
that what we are doing

is right and just,

and because of that, I
know that we can win this.

- We have to.
- Yes!

Dru, I am truly so very sorry
for what happened to Lyta.

Deliver Jax-Ur to me immediately,

or everyone on that moon...

civilian, rebel, or
otherwise... will die.

You can't be serious.

There are countless innocent
civilians on Wegthor.

By executing Lyta, you
silenced the only voice

that can stay my hand.

You and I disagree on
a great many things,

but I know you believe what you're doing

is for the good of our people.

I respect the value you
place on Kryptonian life.

I do not require your respect, Val-El,

just your obedience.

Jax-Ur has been removed from
her position of leadership

and is now in custody.

She will answer for what she has done.

Perhaps you doubt that I possess

the capability for such
large scale destruction.

That would be an unwise assumption.

No.

- I don't doubt it.
- Good.

I expect confirmation that Jax-Ur

is on her way to Kandor within the hour.

Just so we're absolutely clear,

you definitely have it on you, yes?

Just saying, you could make
things a whole lot easier...

Nobody touches the
Codex till I see my son.

I'd hate to get you in front
of the general only to discover

that you hadn't been
honest with us, that's all.

That would not be good,
would it, Sagitari?

- Sir, not good at all.
- Mm-hmm.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

This way.

Well, come on, then. I
thought you were in a hurry.

Sagitari.

Assuming she really does have it,

where do you suppose

she has it tucked away right now?

Hmm? Inside jacket pocket, maybe?

Yes, sir, I think that's
a very likely place for it.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh.

Ahh!

I suppose you were half right
about the inside jacket pocket.

Stop!

- Shit!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy.

It's me. Yeah.

I can't believe it.

I don't understand.

What are you doing here?

Lyta's death did precisely
what Jax expected:

provoked an emotional response from Zod.

But instead of...

being careless and acting mistakenly,

it stoked his desire for revenge.

So we've been given two options:

turn Jax over or deny Zod,

and have him ravage everything
and everyone on Wegthor.

Then please, just...

Just turn her over.

And stop the killing.

Look, I have seen more than I care to.

I've done more than I care to,

and it has to stop.

Do you really think that Zod

is just gonna stop the killing

- once he gets Jax?
- I don't know.

Okay, listen. I know this asshole.

He is not gonna stop

until he kills every last one of us,

one way or another.

Of that, there is no doubt,

which is why I feel we have no choice

- but to turn Jax-Ur over to Zod.
- Mm-hmm.

We need to buy ourselves some time,

stop him from retaliating immediately.

You're making the right decision.

We don't want to stick
around here too long.

The Sagitari failed to
deliver their package.

- Zod's gonna send more.
- Their package?

They were never gonna
take me to Zod, were they?

What do you have that he wants so badly?

Nyssa?

Nyssa. What is it?

I agreed to trade the Codex
to Zod in exchange for Cor.

That was the deal.

Before you say anything, let me explain.

Val put a failsafe in the Codex.

If anyone tries to weaponize it,

the Codex will automatically shut down.

Your grandfather knew why I needed it.

He did it to help us so
our son could be safe.

Dru would never have let you go,

and once he'd found out
you'd corrupted the Codex,

he would have killed
you without hesitation.

I'm sure you're right.

But that's not going to stop me,

because if there is
even the slightest chance

that it could work, I have to try...

for Cor, like you would have for Lyta.

Then we have to find some other way

to get your son back.

We can't let you walk
into House Zod alone.

That is exactly what we're going to do.

Dev's right.

Dru will quickly find out the Sagitari

sent to collect you are dead.

He'll be thinking you're on the run.

The last thing they'll be expecting

is for you to turn up there.

Because it would be suicide, Seg.

You're not thinking clearly.

Do not patronize me.

I just watched the woman I
love die in front of my eyes,

like I watched my parents die,

and there was nothing
I could do to save them,

but I promise you, there
is nothing I would not do

to keep my son safe.

- Do you trust me?
- Of course I do.

Then trust that I refuse
to let any more harm

come to the people I love.

I know.

We should get moving.

We'll go over the details on the way.

General, we weren't expecting you.

I need a progress report on this weapon.

Of course. Our team has made

significant strides since we last spoke,

and the results are promising,
if not yet conclusive.

Am I to be encouraged
by that non-answer?

Apologies, General.
Let me be more specific.

The hardware components are complete,

fitted with both long- and
short-range firing options.

The warhead housing the payload
is a high-density projectile,

with Stellarium-powered delivery system,

allowing for unprecedented impact depth.

Simply put, General,
this weapon could pierce

an underground bunker cased entirely

in high-grade
Promethium... theoretically.

We'll know soon enough.

The Codex is on its way.

You will have it imminently.

The Codex will finally allow us

to put this theory into practice.

Good.

I need this weapon fully operational

within an hour of its arrival.

An hour?

I trust that won't be a problem?

No, General, that won't
be a problem at all.

I hadn't thought myself
capable of being surprised,

let alone betrayed. Twice.

Val-El takes advantage
of your history together.

He still treats you like a pupil.

Now the bastard's taken your bionic eye.

Val-El is the most brilliant
man I've ever known.

He just didn't live under the oppression

of the Voice of Rao, or Daron-Vex...

like you and I did.

I didn't start Black Zero
because I wanted to.

I did it because I had to,
and I see the Resistance

and everything I've done in its name

in exactly the same way.

I do what needs to be done,

however ugly,

not because I enjoy it,
because no one else will.

If that means people see me
as a monster, then so be it.

It never stopped me before,
and it won't stop me now.

Me neither.

But by killing Lyta...

Haven't we backed
ourselves into a corner?

I've got myself out of corners before.

Well, don't just stand there.

Keep an eye out.

Mine's busy.

A former lawmaker killed
two highly skilled,

expertly trained Sagitari?

Nyssa-Vex is to be
presented here to me...

That won't be necessary.

Leave. Now.

Where's my son?

Safe.

You may see him yourself...

once you hand over the Codex.

Cor first.

You think you're in a position

to issue demands here?

Yes, I do.

The Codex has been locked and programmed

to respond to my voice only.

Any other attempt to operate the Codex

will cause instant destruction.

You...

continue to surprise.

Because you continue to underestimate.

Indeed.

By returning here with the Codex,

you have completed a
difficult assignment,

despite significant odds,

and in doing so you have done
something very few have done.

You've impressed me.

I'm not proud of what I've done,

but I did what I had to.

Precisely.

Which is why I have a proposal for you.

Work with me, Nyssa.

The rebellion is on its knees.
It will soon come to an end...

even sooner with your help...

and in the aftermath,

there would be many great opportunities

for someone with your capabilities.

Governor of one of
Krypton's colonies, perhaps.

Krypton has no colonies.

Not yet, but as we both know,

that is just a matter of time.

Cor.

I've been patient enough.

Unlock the Codex.

Remove your hand.

You don't want that
lock detecting stress

in my vocal patterns, do you?

And your guards.

I find their presence stressful, too.

Codex:

Access authorization code.

Erkol, Urrikka,

Xan, Zenium.

I will need to verify
this for authenticity,

but it appears...

you have impressed me again.

Once that's been verified,

how can I really trust that
you'll allow me to leave?

If we are to work
together, as I propose,

you must learn to trust me.

A leap of faith?

Yes, I suppose.

I figured as much.

Guards!

Give me that.

Looks like Jax turned
her sub-dermal comm device

into some kind of weapon.

Yeah, I got that. I meant

"where do you think she went?"

Sorry, Val. More bad news.

There's a whole bunch
of gravity bombs missing

from the munitions depot.

She probably rigged
them to cover her escape,

and laid a minefield for
anyone trying to follow.

No, she has something else in mind,

and I know exactly where she's headed.

- Get your weapons.
- I mean,

what's a day on the moon
without being shot at?

Oh...

No Sagitari skimmers on the radar, yet.

We might be deep enough
in the Outlands by now

to have lost them.

Your assessment is correct, Seg-El.

However, I'm afraid
pursuit is not the concern

that requires your immediate focus.

Something's wrong.

What do you mean?

I don't know how much...

Zod's plasma blast damaged
the operating system

of this vessel. It will lose power

in precisely 17 seconds,
resulting in a fatal crash.

- Seg, what's happening?
- A blaster fried the system.

- What?
- There's nothing I can do.

Well, of course there is.

With my assistance.

- Seg!
- Hold Cor tight

- and brace yourself.
- What?

Nyssa, please! Do it now!

We need to manually redirect power

from the emergency life support systems.

Like so.

It's okay.

I thought we were...

Everything's okay now.

I swear.

One hour.

You made it.

Barely, but we're here.

Let's get you all inside and warmed up.

Since I've been back, I've
spent a little bit of time

with Jax and... well,
I'm just gonna say it:

she likes me. Like, really likes me.

So I think I could
probably talk her around.

I'm sure she does not really like you.

I'm afraid the Jax-Ur
that could be reasoned with

just doesn't exist anymore.

Oh, Shh-shh!

No!

Val?

I didn't want it to come to this.

Neither did I.

I've tried so hard to keep you
from making the tough choices.

I never wanted you to
have blood on your hands.

Then please.

Zod has given us an ultimatum.

He demands we hand you over,

or everyone on the moon dies.

You wanted to provoke him.
You've achieved your goal.

Of course.

Because your unyielding morality means

you've never had to make
any of the tough choices.

It's always been on me,

even though you've benefitted from them.

No more.

Activate this, and the gravity bombs

we've laid will destroy

the Space Elevator Base Station,

cutting off Zod's forces
from fresh supplies

and reinforcements.

No, no, no, no. You
said that we were going

to take control of the Space Elevator,

- not destroy it!
- Control it for how long?

Have you found those
missing Sagitari yet?

Hmm?

How long before they try
to regain control of it?

We don't have the numbers
to defend our base

and hold the Base Station.

Val, please.

Hundreds of innocent civilians
that work that station...

that don't believe in
Zod's war... they will die.

Please!

So what's it going to be, my friend?

Are you prepared to
sacrifice the lives of a few

to save the entire planet?

You know that Lyta and I...
we never really saw eye to eye.

But I respected your daughter,

and if I had any idea

that Jax was planning
on doing what she did...

I would have found a way to stop it.

I swear.

You feel guilty.

We all do. Maybe we all failed Lyta.

Or...

maybe she could never have been saved.

We'll never know,

but we can make her death count.

We have to.

If Val hasn't already, then
we can bring Jax to justice.

She will answer for Lyta's death.

But right now, we need to
focus on stopping Dru-Zod.

We cannot let him spread more misery

and destruction across the universe.

I say tonight we rest, for tomorrow...

we make Dru-Zod pay.

And what about...

the next day?

And the day after that?

Whatever we do...

won't bring Lyta back.

I trust this call means
Jax-Ur is on her way.

Because of your sound judgment,

I will show mercy. Of course,

I cannot allow your comrades
to escape punishment,

but you, Val-El, will
have the honor of returning

to the Science Guild and working for me.

There is nothing more dangerous

than a delusional dictator,

and you must be living inside a fantasy

if you believe I will ever support

your foul vision.

Choose your next words
carefully, old man.

There are no more words.

What is that?

What now?

We wouldn't be here today
if it wasn't for you.

All of Krypton owes you
a debt of gratitude,

but you can't be a
part of this rebellion,

not anymore.

So go, Jax. Disappear,

and perhaps you may just
find yourself again one day.

Tell me it's ready.

We can really only regard
this as a prototype.

Just give it to me.

Hmm...

General, there's something
you need to know.

The Codex was corrupted.
Some kind of failsafe

was installed to protect
it from being weaponized

in the most, shall we say,
obvious or expected manner.

Mm.

Val-El, no doubt.

How does that impact our intended use?

We believe we managed to retrieve

the genetic information we needed,

but there's no way to
be certain without tests.

Then I will test it in the field.

Where do we go from here, Dev?

I don't know.

But wherever we go, we go together.

Tears.

I'd say of frustration,

not sadness.

Fear of the fight that lies ahead.

Very rational, actually.

It demonstrates a marked improvement

in your capacity for critical thinking.

Perhaps aware now

that you cannot defeat your son,

the finest military mind
Krypton has ever known.

You're wrong.

We will defeat him. We have to.

You will not.

And though you attempt to
suppress this knowledge,

you increasingly understand
this to be the truth.

Yes.

Unless...

- Unless you help me?
- Precisely.

Take me to my ship,

my quantum consciousness,

and I will imbue you

with the power to defeat General Zod.

And then what? And then what?

You just leave Krypton
for good, Brainiac?

It's lies. It's all lies.

You're trying to manipulate me.

I give you my word.

We need to leave. Now.

What about Jayna and Dev?

It's best they don't know.

What's going on with you?

It has to do with what
happened in the skimmer.

The reason I was able
to solve that problem...

It's because of Brainiac.

He's alive...

in me.

I can't tell you more
than that right now,

but I need you to help me end this.

You're the only one that I can trust.

I meant what I said.

I will never, ever let
anything happen to you or Cor.
