Where's Heron?

Uh, trouble at the border.

So, uh, how'd you land it?
This is, like, pioneer stuff.

Amajagh's never given an interview.

You know what Heron always
says when we're on assignment together?

Not a goddamn thing.

I like Heron.

Are you a terrorist, General?

They did not tell me the interview
was with a lady.

I'm not a lady. I'm a journalist.

GENERAL AMAJAGH: What I am
is a man with nothing

except a love of my people.

Who's paying for these
security contractors, General?

Who pays for the drones
that pass over our heads at night?

GENERAL AMAJAGH:
One question begs another.

Yes?

Say what you're saying, General.

It's just a camera.

The United States
has declared its neutrality

in your country's civil war

both in policy and in principle.

Don't open... You just exposed...

(LAUGHING)

These pious American fictions...

...spoken like truth.

Okay. That's my film.

Men with power obey
neither policy nor principle, Miss Lane.

No one is different.

No one is neutral.

Negative. RPA to engage.
Stand down and get black.

There'll be friendlies

Stand down is an order. Python?

Even worse came after.

The government attacked.

No mercy in the villages.

(SOBS) My parents tried to run.

The world has been so caught up
with what Superman can do

that no one has asked what he should do.

Let the record show that this
committee holds him responsible.

He answers to no one.
Not even, I think, to God.

Surprise you.

They held hearings about what happened.

- They're saying that--
- I don't care.

I don't care what they're saying.

The woman I love could have
been blown up or shot.

Think of what could have happened.

Well, think about what did happen.

I didn't kill those men,
if that's what they think.

If that's what you're saying.

No, I'm saying
I want to understand what happened.

I'm saying thank you for saving my life.

I'm saying there's a cost.

I just don't know if it's possible.

Don't know if what's possible?

For you to love me and be you.

Clark, you're going

- Mmm-hmm.

BRUCE: You still working?

You're getting slow

Even you got too old to die young.

And not for lack of trying.

There's nothing wrong
with the microphone.

It's this new layer of armor.

I'll just have to rewire.

So, last night was productive?

No. He's too low-level. He knew nothing.

This is the man who knows things.

Anatoli Knyazev. He's Russian.

Contracts all over the globe,

but he's based out of the port of Gotham.

Weapons and human trafficking.

ALFRED: So the White Portuguese
is a Russian.

That's the theory.

No. The theory is that the Russian
will lead me to the man himself.

If he is, indeed, a "him."

You don't even know if he exists.
Could be a phantasm.

One that wants to bring
a dirty bomb into Gotham?

Ah, high-stakes round.

ALFRED". New rules.

BRUCE: We're criminals,
Alfred.

We've always been criminals.
Nothing's changed.

Oh, yes, it has, sir.

Everything's changed.

Men fall from the sky.

The gods hurl thunderbolts.

Innocents die.

That's how it starts, sir.

The fever. The rage.

The feeling of powerlessness.

It turns good men cruel.

PLAYER: John, gel' D.

Ooh. Ah. Ahoy, ahoy!
I did not know you were here.

- Man on the marquee.
- Yeah, don't believe it.

My father named the company
after himself.

He was the Lex in front of the Corp.
How you doin'?

Really great.

Really great? Good. Good.
Uh, follow me.

No, uh, Dad started saying
that he named the company,

after his kid at investor pitches.

Rich old ladies.
They thought it was very cute, you know?

"Write checks for Lex."

You know, Dad was born in East Germany.

He grew up eating stale crackers.

And every other Saturday,
he had to march in a parade

and wave flowers at tyrants.

So, I think it was providence
that his son, me,

would end up with this.

One of my Rebuild Metropolis
crews found it.

Little souvenir from
the Kryptonian World Engine.

What does a rock have to do
with homeland security?

Homeland security? Hmm.

No, no, no, ma'am, planetary security.

The fragment
is of a radioactive xenomineral.

We suspected it might
have bio-interactions,

so we took the sample to AMRIID,

where they keep the remains
of the Kryptonian decedent.

And, when we exposed
General Zod to the mineral,

this happened.

Profound biodegradation.
Decaying Kryptonian cells.

We concluded the mineral
could be weaponized

if a large enough sample was found.

And then, among the fishes, a whale.

Ah!

Lying at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Emerald City.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Beautiful.

Now, Rocky is radioactive,

but what he needs from you
is an import license.

And why would we want to
weaponize this material?

LEX: As a deterrent.

A silver bullet to keep in reserve,
to use against the Kryptonians,

so the day does not come, madam,

when your children are waving
daisies at a reviewing stand.

Last I looked, the only one of those

flying around up here was Superman.

Ha-ha, yes. Superman.
Yeah, but there are...

There are more of them.

The metahuman thesis.

LEX: Yes, the metahuman thesis.

More likely than not

these exceptional beings live among us.

The basis of our myths.
Gods among men upon

our little blue planet here.

Now, you don't have to use
a silver bullet.

But if you forge one...
(INHALES)

(IN SOUTHERN ACCENT)
Well, then

we don't have to depend
upon the kindness of monsters.

There are ways we can help each other.

(SIGHS) Would you step
into my office here?

Yes.

What's your wish list?

Access to the wreck of
the crashed Kryptonian ship?

Done.

The complete remains
of the dead alien for testing.

(LEX SNIFFLES)

You want Zod's body?

Okay.

-(DOOR OPENS)
- Mmm.

It's cherry.

Mmm-mmm.

KAHINA:
Because the time has come

for the world to hear
the other side of the story.

They say that Superman is a hero.
Okay, but whose hero?

REPORTER: If Superman
were here right now,

what would you want to say to him?

KAHINA: That my family,
too, had dreams.

To look him in his eye
and ask him how he decides

which lives count.

And which ones do not.

You're Sports today.

I want you to go to Gotham,
follow up on football.

"Underdog Dreams Dashed:
Ten Yards Between Gotham and Glory."

Watch yourself over there in Gotham.

Don't let them take your lunch money.

Hey. Are you guys watching this?

Emergency responders quickly created

a precautionary perimeter
around Heroes Park

while they brought the man down
from this beloved monument.

The suspect has been identified
as Wallace Vernon Keefe.

I work for Bruce Wayne!

I work for Bruce Wayne!

REPORTER". He'll be arraigned
on charges of vandalism,

resisting arrest,

and the felony charge of
making terrorist threats.

That carries up to 40 years in prison.

PERRY: Poor son of a bitch.

- PERRY: Jenny.
- Hmm.

Headline, "End of Love Affair
with Man in the Sky,

"question mark."

Okay.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Is she in?

No, she's been gone.

POET: What'd she do,

I'm not a cop. I'm a reporter.

The young lady living here...

She hasn't been back.

In fact, if she's smart,
then she's got out of this city.

And you need to
get out of here before dark.

Unless you want to run into him.

WOMAN". Don't listen to that nonsense.

Only people scared of him,
people who got reason to be.

Scared of who?

There's a new kind of mean in him.

He is aHQTY-

And he's hunting.

Three nights with a Bolshoi ballerina,

that line was all she taught me.

Not all, I'm sure. Good evening.

CLARK: It's like a one-man
reign of terror.

This Bat vigilante has been
consistently targeting the port

and the adjacent projects and tenements.

And, as far as I can tell,
the cops are actually helping him.

"Crime Wave in Gotham."

Other breaking news, "Water, Wet."

Did you file the football yet?

Why aren't we covering this?

- Poor people don't buy papers?
{ZHUCKLES

People don't buy papers, period, Kent.

Perry, when you assign a story,

you're making a choice about who matters.

And who's worth it.

Good morning, Smallville.

The American conscience died
with Robert, Martin, and John.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

No match. My guys in the crime lab
never seen one before.

It's called a bullet.
You shoot people with them.

Recovered from the scene
of the firefight in the desert.

Not sold anywhere
commercially in the world,

even black market.

30?

So who gave prototype military rounds

to Tuareg fighters in the Sahara?

You're the reporter. Tell me.

I think that the US government
is arming the rebels

while claiming to support
the elected government.

The Ask, Lois.

Flight to D.C. tonight.
Couple of days there.

Go.

Coach. No extra legroom.

Economy plus.

Coach!

CLARK: So,
why didn't you tell me?

You're digging up snakes, Lo.

It's kind of dangerous.

That is why I didn't tell you.

PERRY". Lane, don't you
have a plane to catch?

Yes, sir.

Benefit for the Library of Metropolis.

Someone on the committee
requested that Clark Kent cover it.

Probably some old charity crone
who's got a thing for nerds.

LEX: Senator.

Little bourbon before lunch?

My driver's outside. I can't stay.

LEX: No bourbon?

Kentucky girl like yourself?

Hmm.

My dad always said that Kentucky mash

was the secret to health.

(SLURPS) Mmm.

This was his room.

I kept it just the same.

Mmm.

"Maybe one day Dad'll come back
if I just keep everything the same."

(CHUCKLES) That is silly.

I'm blocking the import
license for your mineral.

-(DRUMMING STOPS)
- Mmm.

Do you know the oldest lie
in America, Senator?

Can I call you June?

You can call me whatever you like.

Take a bucket of piss and
call it Granny's Peach Tea.

Mmm-hmm.

Take a weapon of assassination
and call it deterrence.

You won't fool a fly or me.

I'm not gonna drink it.

You don't think Dad would mind, do you?

If I changed just...
Just one thing in this room?

Because that should be upside-down.

We know better now, don't we?

The devils don't come
from Hell beneath us. No.

No, they come from the sky.

Thank you, sir.

(ALFRED SIGHS)

This is every call made
from the Russian's phone.

Two mentions of business
with the White Portuguese.

And it's continually
transmitting blacked-out data

to the personal residence
of Alexander Luthor.

You think Lex Luthor
is the White Portuguese?

(SNIFFS)

I can't see that he needs the income
from imported arms.

Regardless, I'll need to put
a leech at his house,

and I'm gonna need the suit.

The Bat interrogated six people

and came away with nothing.

It was Bruce Wayne
that got the information.

Well, Bruce Wayne can't
break into Lex Luthor's house.

Bruce Wayne won't have to.

He's been invited.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Who's that?

You must be new to

(CLEARS THROAT)
The end.

- Uh... (CHUCKLES)
-(GUESTS LAUGHING)

The word "philanthropist"
comes from the Greek.

Meaning a lover of humanity.

It was coined about 2,500 years ago.

All right. Where am I going, Alfred?

Go past the elevator.

Do a left.

That's right, must be.

It's in the service corridor
in the basement.

Go down the stairs.

LEX: Gods and men.
Prometheus went with us.

And he ruined Zeus' plan
to destroy mankind,

and for that he was given a thunderbolt.

(IMITATES THUNDERBOLT ZAPPING)

Hmm, that seems unfair.

On a serious note,
the Library of Metropolis...

Go to the stairs. You saw them
on your way in. Down the stairs.

LEX: But at one time,
Dad could not buy them. No.

My father could not afford
books growing up.

He had to root through the garbage
for yesterday's newspaper.

(TV PLAYING)

All right.
You got the kitchens on your right.

Do a left.

Right in front of you.
That's where you want to be.

May I help you, Mr. Wayne?

I just...

I thought the bathroom was down here.
I must have...

That last martini was
two too many, I think. (CHUCKLES)

Men's room is upstairs.

Great. I'm okay.

I like those shoes.

-(DOOR CLOSES)
- I can't stay down here, Alfred.

ALFRED: Go upstairs
and socialize.

Some young lady from Metropolis
will make you honest.

(SCOFFS) In your dreams, Alfred.

LEX". Books are knowledge,

and knowledge is power,
and I am... (LAUGHS)

No. Uh, um...

No. What am I? I...
What was I saying? No.

The bittersweet pain among men

is having knowledge with
no power, because...

Because that is paradoxical!
And, um... (LAUGHS)

Thank you for coming.

Mr. Wayne? Mr. Wayne?
Clark Kent, Daily Planet.

My foundation has
already issued a statement

in support of books.

- Sir?
- Um...

Wow. Pretty girl. Bad habit.
Don't quote me. All right?

What's your position on
the Bat vigilante in Gotham?

Daily Planet. Do I own this one?
Or is that the other guy?

Civil liberties are being
trampled on in your city.

Good people are living in fear.

Don't believe everything you hear, son.

I've seen it, Mr. Wayne.
He thinks he's above the law.

The Daily Planet criticizing
those who think they're above the law

is a little hypocritical,
wouldn't you say?

Considering every time
your hero saves a cat out of a tree,

you write a puff piece editorial

about an alien who, if he wanted to,

could burn the whole place down.

There wouldn't be a damn thing
we could do to stop him.

Most of the world doesn't
share your opinion, Mr. Wayne.

Maybe it's the Gotham City in me.

We just have a bad history
with freaks dressed like clowns.

LEX: Boys! (CLAPS) Um!

Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent. Ha!

I love it.
I love bringing people together.

How are we?

- Lex.
- Hello. Good.

Hi, hello, Lex, it is a pleasure.

Wow! That is a good grip!

You should not pick a fight
with this person.

So, after all these years,
we finally got you over to Metropolis.

Well, I thought I'd come drink you dry.

Well, you're welcome.

You should hop the harbor
more often, though.

I'd love to show you my labs.

Maybe we could partner on something.

My R and D is up to all sorts of no good.

That's seven minutes.

Looks like the transfer's complete.

- Mr. Luthor.
- Yes?

- The governor.
- Governor.

- Excuse me.
- Next time.

(SIGHS)

VIKRAM GANDHI: (ON TV)
We, as a population on this planet,

have been looking for a savior.

90% of people believe in a higher power,

and every religion believes

in some sort of messianic figure.

And when this savior character
actually comes to Earth,

we want to make him abide by our rules?

We have to understand that
this a paradigm shift.

We have to start thinking
beyond politics.

ANDREW SULLIVAN: Are there any moral
constraints on this person?

We have international law.

On this Earth,
every act is a political act.

CHARLIE ROSE: Is it really surprising

that the most powerful man in the world

should be a figure of controversy?

Uh, to have
an individual engaging

in these state-level interventions

should give us all pause.

GLEN WOODBURN: Human beings
have a horrible track record

of following people with great power

down paths that led to
huge human atrocities.

GANDHI: We have always
created icons in our own image.

What we've done is
we project ourselves onto him.

The fact is, maybe he's not
some sort of devil or Jesus character.

Maybe he's just a guy
trying to do the right thing.

NEIL deGRASSE TYSON: We're talking
about a being whose very existence

challenges our own
sense of priority in the universe.

And you go back to Copernicus,

where he restored the Sun

in the center of the known universe,

displacing Earth.

And you get to Darwinian evolution,

and you find out we're not
special on this Earth,

we're just one among other lifeforms.

And now we learn that we're not even

special in the entire universe
because there is Superman.

There he is. An alien among us.

We're not alone.

CHARLIE ROSE: Are you,
as a United States senator,

personally comfortable saying
to a grieving parent,

"Superman could have saved your child,

"but on principle,
we did not want him to act"?

I'm not saying he shouldn't act.

I'm saying he shouldn't act unilaterally.

What are we talking about here, then?

Must there be a Superman?

There is.

(SIGHS)

(ALARM BLARING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Wrong room, miss.

Secretary Swanwick,

you haven't been
returning my phone calls.

Miss Lane, if you'd like an interview,

Major Farris is just outside that door.

You're treating me like a stranger?

I'm treating you like a reporter.

All right. ls the US providing
experimental military arms

to rebels in Africa?

You know, with balls like yours,

you belong in here.

What's your source on this?
A tin foil hat?

No, not tin. But it's metal.

Fired in the Superman incident.

Experts at the Pentagon can't ID it.
We haven't been told the truth.

Here's the truth.

A reporter got greedy for a scoop
and went where she shouldn't have.

Superman acted like some rogue combatant

to rescue her, and people died.

Don't invent a conspiracy
theory to put back his halo.

Or yours.

- Major.
- FARRIS: Sir.

PERRY: So.

I logged into your Dropbox to find copy.

There's copy all right.

But nothing about football.

Nothing about the friends
of the Metropolis Library,

just the goddamn Gotham Bat thing

I told you not to pursue.

If the police won't help,
the press has to do the right thing.

You don't get to decide
what the right thing is.

When the Planet was founded,
it stood for something, Perry.

And so could you if it was 1938,
but it's not 1938.

WPA ain't hiring no more.
Apples don't cost a nickel.

Not in here, not out there.
You drop this thing!

Nobody cares about Clark Kent
taking on the Batman.

JON STEWART". So apparently Superman

doesn't want us to think of him
as American anymore.

And really, why would we?

Aside from the red and blue costume.

And, I don't know, the fact that he has

one-third of the USA's
initials on his chest.

I assume the only reason he's not wearing

the Declaration of
Independence as a cape is...

He thinks it's too on-the-nose.

- MANAGER: What is going on back here?
- No.

Guys, come on. Let's go.

Get yourselves together and get out there.

Get those glasses on those trays.

We got thirsty people out there.

I wonder, would you excuse us?

- There's something I'd like to show you.
- I'm sorry.

Now some scholars insist
that it never happened...

But I believe it's the action

perfectly in keeping with a king
who was also a psychopathic killer.

For me, it's the culmination
of 40 years curating.

And I can't believe it,
but I've finally got it here.

It's the Sword of Alexander.

It's the blade that cut the Gordian knot.

It's a triumph.

DIANA: Yes.

JAMES HARMON: Enjoy.
DIANA: Thank you.

It's a fake.

The real one was sold
in '98 on the black market.

And now it hangs...

Over the bed of the Sultan of Hajar.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, miss.

The other night you took something
that doesn't belong to you.

Stealing's not polite.

Is it stealing if you steal
from another thief?

Who are you?

Someone interested
in the same man you are.

Is that right?

I believe Mr. Luthor has a photograph
that belongs to me.

Did you get it?

As it happens, no, I didn't.

The data you copied has
military-grade encryption.

You know, I bet with that dress,

9 out of 10 men will let you
get away with anything.

But you're the 10th?

I'm guessing I'm the first

to see through that
babe-in-the-woods act.

You don't know me,

but I've known a few women like you.

I don't think you've ever
known a woman like me.

You know, it's true what
they say about little boys.

Born with no natural
inclination to share.

I didn't steal your drive. I borrowed it.

You'll find it in the glove

It's a ship.

Master Wayne, since the age of seven

you have been to the art of deception

as Mozart to the harpsichord.

But you've never been
too hot at lying to me.

The White Portuguese is not
carrying a dirty bomb.

What is it carrying?

It's a weapon.

It's a rock.

A mineral capable of weakening
Kryptonian cells.

The first sample big enough
to mean something

turned up in the Indian Ocean
three months ago.

It is now aboard the White Portuguese

being delivered to Lex Luthor.

Who I am going to steal it from.

To keep it out of Luthor's hands.

To destroy it.

No.

You're gonna go to war?

That son of a bitch brought
the war to us two years ago.

Jesus, Alfred. Count the dead.
Thousands of people.

What's next? Millions?

He has the power to wipe out
the entire human race,

and if we believe there's even
a 1% chance that he is our enemy,

we have to take it
as an absolute certainty.

And we have to destroy him.

But he is not our enemy.

Not today.

20 years in Gotham, Alfred.

We've seen what promises are worth.

How many good guys are left.

How many stayed that way.

My name is Clark Kent.
I'm from the Daily Planet.

I'm trying to find out
what happened to an inmate,

a Santos.

I can't give out that information.

Mommy!

Mrs. Santos?

May I ask you a few questions?

He wasn't my husband.
But I know what he did.

But he was a father. He was that, too.

They took him out of Gotham Central.

They moved him to Metropolis.

But inside they know.

They know the mark all over.
Guards don't care.

what's good?

In a democracy, good is a conversation,

-(CAMERAS CLICKING)

So I urge Superman to come

to this Hill of the People tomorrow

to see those who have suffered.

The world needs to know

Does he act by our will or by his own?

Somebody wanted Superman to look guilty.

(SIGHS) The bullet?

The metal was developed
by a private company.

What company?

LexCorp.

Lex Luthor?

He also had private security contractors
at the desert compound.

Go on record.

Not a chance. It's classified.

I happen to like my job.

It doesn't make sense.

Mr. Keefe. Mr. Keefe.

Soledad O'Brien, In the Moment.

Quick question for you.

You're heading in
to meet with the senators.

What will you tell them?

KEEFE: I've come here
to tell them to wake up.

This is flesh and blood.

He has delivered a war here.

And this...

This is what war looks like.
I have nothing.

There are plenty of people,
sir, who would say he's their hero.

He is not a hero.

Grace, can you get Greg up here, please?

Right now.

An anonymous source can verify everything

I told you about what
happened in Nairomi.

- An anonymous source?
- Run it.

Luthor engineered the desert.

It was an ambush for Superman.

Trust your reporter. Think Watergate.

Yeah, and you need to think litigate.

If you're wrong, Luthor will
sue the paper out of existence.

You need proof.

No. it needs to run now.

Before the hearing.

If Superman knows,
it might change what he says.

I am not going to risk the paper

so that you can pass notes in class

to the man that rescued you.

MQGRAW: He paid her?

(STUTTERS) Not only paid her.
He threatened her.

Gave her a script to learn.

Her parents are alive back home.

But the girl's got a conscience.

He's been using the committee
as his puppet theater.

Senator!

Hi, you.

Don't go anywhere. I want to talk to you.

Uh, you know what?

Mercy, you go in and make sure
no one takes my seat.

So what you been up to?

I'm just here to tell my story.

That I was willing to finance
a Kryptonian deterrent,

but a certain junior senator from Kentucky

decided to block it.

Yes, the chair of the committee
on Superman is soft on security.

Greg, why hasn't he been
getting our checks?

He is, Mr. Wayne.

He gets a check from
the Victims Fund every month.

GREG". He returns them.

in those horrific events in Metropolis

that happened two years ago.

BRUCE: Jesus.

Why haven't I seen this?

GREG: I'm sorry.
I'll get to the bottom of it.

BASH". And there he is. Superman is here.

He is actually
at the United States Capitol.

This is really a historic moment.

Now we expect that Superman will give

some kind of a statement to the Senate,

to the American people,
and, of course, to the world.

He's here. He came.

- He's above the Capitol.
- Ah.

You are gonna be on the

I grew up on a farm.

As for Superman, he was in the room,

I didn't see it, Lo.

I was standing right there

Clark, there are people behind this.

I'm afraid I didn't see it

And they haven't ruled out the idea
that Superman was a co-conspirator.

Now, my sources are telling me

they are getting a barrage of anonymous

LOIS: I need a chopper to Gotham.

Call the heliport.

Chopper? We can barely afford a bicycle.

You wanna chase a story? Go to the ship.

Superman's probably there already.

Perry, it's not for a story.

Jenny, get her a chopper to Gotham.

And forget the heliport.
Put it on the goddamn roof.

On the roof, Lois!

Where are we headed?

There!

He wanted your life for hers.

She's losing time.

The scout ship seems to be
drawing power from the city.

It's got to be Lex.

They need you at that ship. I'll find her.

- My mother needs me.
- Wait.

I'll make you a promise.

Martha won't die tonight.

ALFRED". Master Wayne.

Alfred.

Uh, I'm sorry for listening in,
but I've tracked the Russian's phone

to a warehouse near the port.

You're locked onto it.

I don't deserve you, Alfred.

No, sir. You don't.

KNYAZEV: I'm afraid this is goodbye.

And every time we say goodbye,
you die a little.

- Are you hurt, ma'am?
- I'm okay.

Good. You're gonna be all right, okay?

COOPER: This thing emerged
from the Kryptonian crash site

just moments ago.

Thankfully though, the work day is over
in the downtown core.

It's nearly empty.

Now military aircraft.
Those are Apache helicopters.

They have now just arrived.
The images that...

(DOOMSDAY ROARING)

We've, uh... We just lost

Now, it's not clear what just happened.

What's happening there, Alfred?

Sir. Look, they've cleared the city.

Looks like he's taking it into space.

We can go

It's Kryptonian.

Only Kryptonite weapons can kill it.

They might. If you had any left.

I got one round left.

The spear. Alfred, the spear.
It's pure Kryptonite.

It's back in Gotham.

If I can penetrate the skin,
the spear will kill it.

It would in theory.

I've gotta get it to chase me

I forgot my checkbook

They said it's all taken care of.

BY Whom?

Anonymous donor.

All those circuses back east
burying an empty box.

They don't know how to honor him,

except as a soldier.

I've failed him in life.

I won't fail him in death.

Help me find the others like you.

Perhaps they don't want to be found.

They Will. And they'll fight.

We have to stand together.

(SIGHS)

100 years ago, I walked away from mankind.

From a century of horrors.

Man made a world where
standing together is impossible.

Men are still good.

BRUCE: We fight. We kill.

We betray one another.

But we can rebuild.

We can do better.

We Will.

We have to.

Why did you say they'll have to fight?
