This is only a casing,

used to contain a Sentry.

Once the Sentry is out
of the shell, it seeks a host.

Then uses that host
to gather information

about whatever planet it's on.

Once it's gathered
all the information required,

it uploads it to Brainiac,

and leaves
the host body for dead.

My mom's
not coming home, is she?

No, sweetheart, she's not.

Val, I'm headed your way...

Tell me what you know
about Brainiac.

- Who are you?
- I didn't bring you here

to ask me questions.

I need you to tell me
how to get us out of here.

We go straight.

Whoa, hey, friends, friends.

This is a sacred place.
You do not belong here.

Commander Zod,
it is by Rao's word

that you are hereby charged
with treason.

I have come
to make you an offer

that could save Lyta's life.
For the cost of what?

Pledge your support
for my father.

What makes you think
Jayna is ready to join us

and go against everything
House Zod stands for?

Our plans rest
on Jayna's militarism...

Oh, you think
I don't know that?

Tell us where you took
that Cythonnite woman.

She holds the key
to stopping Brainiac.

Stay here.

- Who gave you that?
- You did.

I'm your son.

You made me work for this
when I was just a boy.

Then you put it
on me, and said,

we kneel for no one.

This...

It can't be.
It's impossible.

Don't listen to a goddamn
word this asshole says, Seg.

- You know him?
- I know who he is.

In my time,
we all know who he is.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

General Zod.

This son of a bitch
is Superman's greatest enemy.

So trust me on this,
we need to kill him now.

Born from the void
of the universe,

before time began,

Almighty Rao, who kindled
the sun and created all life,

I submit to thee.

What makes you think
Rao created all life?

Because I have faith.

My mother told me
faith's a journey

that begins in hope and ends in
belief of what you can't see,

but know to be true.

Or it could
be considered a delusion.

The sign of a species
not given to clear thought.

Is this a test?

Yes.

Do you think my faith
isn't strong enough?

What are you testing?

Your worthiness.

Your city's, your world's.

Do you deserve eternal life?

What happens
to those who aren't worthy?

I think you know the opposite
of eternal life, Ona.

Killing a man directly
runs the risk of witnesses.

A bomb, though, that can
be attributed to anyone.

Tonight, the Voice of Rao
closes the Nova Cycle festival

with the Ascension Ceremony
at the Hall of Justice.

It's private, so there will
be minimal collateral damage

and we can rig the explosive
ahead of time.

I hope you've
chosen your support

among the Guilded carefully.

Oh, we know who will back us
when the time comes.

- What about you?
- There's only one left

to complete the team.
Commander Dev-Em.

He's used to working with
the Voice's security detail,

and the Voice is used to him.

How sure are you
that he'll commit?

The Ems are
a traditional house.

Dev goes through
the motions of Raoism,

but it's not
where his heart lies.

That's with my daughter.

As for his loyalty,
that's with me.

- I hope you're right.
- And I hope you're ready.

Come now, you're obviously
not built for this.

You're only resting
that weapon on my chest

to stop your hands
from shaking.

Go on, say one more word.

And you'll see exactly
what I'm built for.

All right, all right.
Just take it easy.

- And start explaining.
- This sorry bastard

has travelled
back through time to get here.

I don't know how,
but it's not hard to see why.

He's obviously working with
Brainiac to destroy Krypton.

Why would I
destroy our world?

I'm here to save Krypton.

Oh, so it's
just a coincidence

you're here at the
same time as Brainiac?

Of course not.
History tells us this

is when that creature
ripped Kandor City

away from the planet and
made it part of his collection.

I'm here to
prevent that tragedy.

I'm confused,
you're saying that Brainiac

isn't from the future?

That's exactly
what I'm saying.

Brainiac didn't travel through
time to launch this attack.

This is what he's always done.

No, that...

That can't be right.

It's elementary
Kryptonian history.

The beginning of the end
for our civilization.

Brainiac takes Kandor City,

which destabilizes
Krypton's core.

Causing the planet
to explode in 200 years.

The planet explodes
in 200 years?

That, that, that's insane.

- That's insane.
- Wait.

Your friend here
didn't mention that?

It's true, isn't it?

That's not the point.

This whole time,
you knew and you said noth...

Seg, you cannot
trust this man.

Oh, so he's lying?

But you've confirmed
he's a Zod,

and he's from your time...
And if he's really your son,

then I'm sorry,
but believing anything he says

is a mistake.
You got to trust me on this.

He's here to destroy Krypton,

and make sure
Superman is never born.

No Zod would ever
destroy Krypton.

It's our duty to
defend our city, and our world.

Our duty, and...

Our proud privilege.

Oh, this is some grade-A,
premium bullshit.

Seg.

You know you can trust me,
don't you?

Well?

Hey, man.

Cuff them both.

Come on.

Seg...

Oh, I think there's
some explaining to be done.

All right.

You first.

You said you're here
to stop Brainiac,

that you've studied him.
Let's hear the plan.

Firstly,
you have to understand

that Brainiac
is virtually immortal.

Existing for
thousands of years.

He possesses
the intellectual plunder

of countless
advanced civilizations.

He's far beyond us.

And as history has proven,
Krypton's current weapons

- are useless against him.
- Yet here you are.

And we still haven't
heard a plan yet, General.

That's because
he doesn't have one.

On account of
he's full of shit.

When Brainiac took Kandor,
both our families made it out.

They made their way
to Kryptonopolis.

In that city's
ancient archives,

I learned of the location
of a hidden weapon.

A pre-cataclysm instrument
of violence so powerful,

it would give
even Brainiac pause.

That's why
your base is down here?

I've been searching
these catacombs for months.

With only one clue.

Inside pocket.

Don't come crying to me

if he's hiding some kind of
freaky ass space spider

in there that
bites your hand off.

Just saying.

According to the archive,

we find that symbol,
we find the weapon.

It looks like a house sigil.

It doesn't match
any house currently on Krypton.

You recognize it.

All you have to do
is take me there.

- Seg, you can't...
- Shut up.

You'll have your turn.

The people who live down here,
the Cythonnites.

This weapon is what they're
sworn to protect, isn't it?

Yes, and they will guard it
with their lives.

Because that is
how powerful it is.

Which is why we need it.

I received a message.
You wanted to see me?

Commander Em, sit down.

What I need to say to you,

I say because I trust you, Dev.

Thank you, Primus.
That means a lot.

The Rankless Initiative.
That was shit, wasn't it.

Complete shit.

It only made things worse,
and Lyta didn't deserve

to be made a scapegoat for the
Council's bad decisions.

Over your lifetime,
would you say things

have gotten better in Kandor?

No, I wouldn't.

But there is nothing
we can do about it.

We are Sagitari.
We don't make policy.

What if I told you
there are some

who would like to see
a change in who makes policy?

And the person
they'd want to change out?

The Voice of Rao.

You've committed to this?

Just by my being here,

being here
and not turning you in,

I'm committed.

Are you?

You could still walk out
and call officers to arrest me.

Would you let me do that?

We could find out.

No need.

Everything I learned
about being a Sagitari

was by following your lead.

If you ask it of me,
I'll back you.

All the way.

You guys can't
seriously be considering

giving this wackjob
a weapon of mass destruction.

Seg.

I'm sorry.
Really, I am.

I know I should have
told you before,

but what was I supposed to say?

Hey, man, let's go get a drink.

By the way, your world's
going to explode.

Why even lay
that burden on you?

Wouldn't you want to know?

All right.

I didn't tell you
because it was hard.

It's not a conversation
anyone wants to have.

Look, I don't, I don't know.

Maybe Zod's lying.
Maybe...

Maybe I was wrong.

All I knew was
Superman's enemy was going back

to change the timeline,
which means that

your grandson
would never be born.

So you're telling me
you didn't even hear

the full story, but you
came to me, so sure of yours...

I had to.
I couldn't just stand around

and do nothing
if it meant no Superman.

Regardless of
what you got wrong,

Brainiac is still coming.
We can all agree on that.

We all want to stop him,
so why don't we work together?

Because,
if the warning I received

wasn't about Brainiac,
it must have been about Zod.

And if we're
to preserve the timeline,

maybe we have to step back,
and let...

Let Brainiac take Kandor.

In honor of the Nova Cycle,
by Rao's mercy,

your wrongdoing is pardoned.

Go, meditate on your sins,
and perfect yourself.

In honor of the Nova Cycle,
by Rao's mercy,

your wrongdoing is pardoned.

Go, meditate on your sins,
and perfect yourself.

In honor of the Nova Cycle,
by Rao's mercy,

your wrongdoing is pardoned.

Go, meditate on your sins,
and perfect yourself.

In honor of the Nova Cycle,
by Rao's mercy,

your wrongdoing is pardoned.

There must be some mistake.

A late addition
to the list of pardons.

- I see nothing wrong.
- But Commander.

It says he's Black Zero.
He's a bomb maker.

- Is something wrong?
- Excuse me,

but there's been an error.
Zeroes are never pardoned.

Rao's mercy is infinite.

If His Eminence sees
something in this prisoner

that we do not,
it is not for us to question.

But shouldn't
we follow this up?

- Make sure...
- Lieutenant.

You're aware
that the Rankless Initiative

created an ill feeling
in the city.

There are those
who think the authorities

are obsessed with Black Zero.

This is a chance
for us to show them

that Rao sees us all
as his children.

Let it go, Lieutenant Ran.

The politics
are above our pay grade.

Commander Em,
there's a lot of animosity

towards Black Zero,
understandably.

Perhaps you could
accompany this prisoner

safely out of the building.

He's clearly insane, Seg.

Come on, don't waste another
moment thinking about him.

Seg, I know how
this sounds, but please.

This is a key moment
in history.

Things need to unfold the way
that they originally did.

Okay, any changes
could set off history

in some new and crazy way,
and something huge,

like stopping Brainiac,

that could ruin everything.

By everything,
you mean my grandson.

Your obsession.

Tell me, how is it
that my world goes extinct,

but he ends up on yours?

He was sent off just before
this planet exploded.

That's why he's called
the Last Son of Krypton.

I don't have
all the answers here.

I admit it.

I guess if...

If Brainiac
doesn't take Kandor,

if Krypton doesn't explode,
then anything can happen.

And maybe Kal-El will exist.
Maybe he won't.

But what I do know is that is a
risk we cannot afford to take.

One might argue
that the millions of lives

on Krypton are more important

than one immature survivor
on Earth.

And one might argue
how many times

Superman saves the universe,
if you want to count numbers.

Forget the numbers!

I care about my world.

My friends.

What's the point of any of it?

Of making the world
a better place?

Of having children?
Of protecting our loved ones?

If it all just ends

in fire and death?

Everything that we are.

Everything we've built.

You're asking me

to sacrifice all of it.

For an idea.

An abstraction.

A future if.

Seg...

Please.

This is the most important
moment in all of our lives.

I know that I've given you
reason to doubt me,

and I'm sorry.

But I'm asking you
to put that aside right now.

I'm asking you to trust me.

- Keep both eyes on him.
- He's not to be trusted.

Copy that.

When we met,

you said you knew my family.

I counted your son
as my closest friend.

It's true I disapproved
of your grandson.

Why?

There are immigrants
who turn their backs

on their history
and their culture.

Passively accept the standards
their new world offers,

as though no others
could possibly exist.

He let himself
be cut down to size.

He was proud of it.
Proud of burying his heritage.

I'm sorry, but your friend was
right about one thing at least.

We were enemies.

Though I take no pleasure
in that, and never have.

Why is faith
important to you?

It means that
everything has a purpose.

That the purpose is good.

That I'll see
my mother again one day.

It's faith that leads us
to the Blessed Place.

Is that important to you,
Little Sundrop?

How did you know
my mother called me that?

A few of the worthy,
the special ones,

I take into myself.

I take their memories,
skills, dreams.

Everything that
makes them what they are.

Their template lives forever

in me.

A template, that's a soul?

Your mother is here in me.

You could join her.

Together forever.
Would you choose that?

Sevi, why are you afraid?
What's wrong?

Sevi has nothing
to be afraid of.

She's answered
her questions well,

and been promised eternal life.

Sevi, that's wonderful,
isn't it?

Yes, I'm so happy.

Your choice will determine
your fate for eternity.

Take time to consider it well.

He's been asking questions.

Wondering why
the last minute pardon

for a Black Zero bomb maker.

Noting that the prisoner hasn't
returned to his dwelling,

or been seen in the city
since his release.

Of course not,
he's in a Rankless safe house

under guard, waiting
to be found and arrested

for the Voice's death, and
killed while avoiding capture.

What good does that do us
when one of your officers

is encouraging people to
scrutinize the chain of events?

He's from a prominent family.
People might listen to him.

Couldn't you have replaced him
with one of our people?

I already slipped Dev in.

If you want
to attract suspicion,

a good way to do it would be
to shift assignments around

just before an assassination.

Most officers wouldn't
have questioned the order.

We were unlucky.
You need to silence him,

quickly, before
he draws attention.

Well, it's too late
to bring him on board now.

And any attempt to scare him

would only deepen
his suspicion further.

No, there is only
one way to handle this.

- I'll speak to him.
- No, don't...

I do not need to be
schooled on the danger here.

The lives of every Sagitari
I've recruited are in my hands,

and they've put them there
because they have faith in me.

If I'm committed,
they're willing to back me.

What are you committed to,
except yourself?

You've only ever
been out for number one.

Am I supposed
to justify myself to you?

Two decades ago,
you came out of nowhere,

and married into House Vex,
and spent the rest of your life

trying to make
the Vex name seem important.

My honor,
that's my own problem.

But what did
I sacrifice it for?

And am I supposed
to kill a junior officer

- to prop up your ego?
- My ego?

You take a good look
at this city

that you are
supposedly protecting, Jayna.

Kandor is stagnating.

We are barely surviving
on our dwindling resources.

It is time
to look to the future.

To look beyond, and start
to build new alliances

with the eight other cities.

To combine our expertise,
and develop new resources.

If the other,
more illustrious houses

are too hidebound
to do it, I am not.

This world will only improve
when our cities work together.

Under your leadership?

You know, you're right.

I do look out for number one.

But the people
of Kandor are number two.

Where do you
suppose they feature

on the Voice of Rao's list?

He only cares about the
glorification of his god,

and he expects the people
to dedicate themselves to that.

At least from me, they get
a chance at a decent life.

I am a selfish bastard, Jayna.

But people do things
for more than one reason.

Everything all right,
Lieutenant?

I don't know.

The bomb maker who was freed.

Why pardon someone
with such lethal expertise?

I feel I should seek
an audience with the Voice.

- Ask what he meant by it.
- I'd advise against that.

You'd be implying the Voice
made a bad decision,

and that's never a good idea,
career-wise.

I get that, but...

Did you know
the prisoner vanished?

The whole thing feels wrong,
don't you think?

You could be on to something.

Let's find somewhere
to talk it over, figure it out.

That's okay.
You're right.

I probably should
stay out of it.

It's no trouble.

- I've got the time.
- No.

Thank you, Commander Em.

It's really okay.

Oh, I hate to say this,
but I got to pee.

So unless you want
to hold it for me,

you're going to have
to unlock me for a moment.

Real soon.

I'll take the third option,
which is ignoring you.

Hey, wait, wait, wait,
I've got something to tell you

about the weapon
that you're guarding.

The prisoner was only added
to the list at the last second.

And no one can tell me
where the order came from.

He was last seen
with Commander Em.

Since then, he's disappeared
from the city.

You were right to come to me
with this, Lieutenant Ran.

I feel I should
also tell you,

I've requested an audience
with the Voice of Rao.

You are a fine officer.

You have
your commander's praise.

I have a million questions.

Yes?

Aren't you afraid
revealing things to your mother

might mess up your timeline?

A man who travels
into the past to change things

is in no position to be picky.

Very true.

It's amazing
to see you like this.

- Young?
- Happy, open.

Smiling.

What I remember most
about you was how heavy

the loss of Kandor
weighed on your heart.

You didn't like
to talk about it,

but I learned that you were
in one of the military vessels

attacking Brainiac's ship

when he ripped
the city from the ground.

You never forgot your failure
to defend the city.

It made you bitter.

I guess you're saying
I'm not a perfect mother.

Maybe, but you taught me

to put the defense
of this world above all else.

You fashioned me into a weapon.

I take pride in that.

What was he telling you?

Apparently, one day,
I wake up to find

I've turned into my mother.

Well, it seems I have
a grandson

who's decisions are morally
dubious, so there's that.

Can't help but worry, though.

Our future?

I have a son who
recognizes me as his mother,

but only knows you as the
father of his best friend.

I suppose I thought...

Now that you're Guilded,
maybe there'd be a way.

I still want to believe
we have a future.

Let's stick with today.

We already know
the future is confusing.

Hold.

- What is it?
- I heard something.

Glad we're on the same side.

Not bad for
a bitter old lady.

The prisoner's
given up the location

of his bomb-making equipment,

and I've put
the finishing touches

on one of his creations.

Did you remove
all remote detonators?

Yes, there's nothing
that's traceable back to us.

Once the timer's set,
nothing can stop it.

And no one can point a finger
at anyone else but Black Zero.

And the rogue officer
asking all the questions.

Has he been...

dealt with?

- Yes.
- Good.

Then please feel free
to conceal your bomb

in the Tribunal, Commander.

Have you decided, Ona?

Are you ready
to give yourself over now,

and join your mother?

That's not what I've chosen.

I want to serve you here.

You are a surprising child.

I'm sorry.

One gets tired
of always being right.

I think I like surprises.

Perhaps it's time you saw

who it is you've vowed
to serve.

Your Eminence, we're here
to escort you to the ceremony.

There will be a slight delay.

In speaking with my protégé,

I've realized
I need more contact

with the people of Kandor.

I have much to learn

and to judge.

I don't understand,
Your Eminence.

The ceremony
must be open to the public.

I want the hall packed
with citizens.

Young, old, Guilded, Rankless.

Turn no one away.

Your Eminence,
I'm not sure we can

get the people there in time.

Then begin now.

Thank you, Seg.

If you hadn't guided me here,
I might never have found it.

Well, let's just hope this
ancient weapon actually works.

Where did you get those?

They're military-grade
explosives.

Perks of using Black Zero.

Here goes.

You're telling me there
will be collateral damage?

I'm telling you
the room will be stuffed

with collateral damage.

This is no longer
a controlled situation.

We have to abort.

Proceed as planned.

There comes a point in any coup
when it's more dangerous

to back out
than to go forward.

Too many people
are involved to depend on

none of them
betraying the secret.

- Even inadvertently...
- Let me be clear.

Your opinion
means nothing to me.

Primus?

We can't withdraw now.

We've already
paid too much, Dev.

People of Kandor City.

The time for holding
myself apart is over.

I look forward

to coming to know you
intimately.

Soon, you will have

no secrets from me.

Bomb!
Clear the room!

There has to be a way in.

I know if we work together,
we can find it.

I think you might be
more right than you realize.

I can't believe
I didn't see it before.

Doesn't that symbol
look familiar to you?

It's the El and Zod sigil
superimposed on each other.

I think our families
put this vault here.

Raika, Raika said
that because I'm an El,

I have the power
to destroy everything.

And the power
to open the vault.

Maybe this is
a lock of some kind.

Blood of the house.

Blood of the house.
Um, do you have a knife?

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't know.

An El and a Zod.

I'm not used
to being in this position.

No!

Don't do it.

That thing in there will kill
us, and everyone in Kandor.

Everyone in the universe,
if it can, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Whoa.
- He betrayed us.

Hey, just surrender.

Okay, they promised
not to hurt you.

That thing in there, they
told me it's called Doomsday.

Okay, I know that name.

It's a soulless killing machine
that can't be destroyed.

Or controlled.

Seg, if you
let that thing loose,

it will kill everything
that it comes across.

It's true.

That's why we have
given over our lives

to protecting the universe
from Doomsday.

My people were here
when the weapon arrived.

The Els and the Zods,
they thought that together,

they were creating
something great.

But we've seen it.

We understand the unending
cloud of hatred they birthed.

You do not know
the danger we are in.

It doesn't matter what
may have happened in the past.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

Our world.

No!

Shit!

Hey.

Cover me, I see a way out.

Seg!

Go, go, go.

Go!

Just have the skimmer ready.

This is going to be
a hot extraction.

They'll be there,
you can trust me.

- I believe you.
- You understand why

I had to do that, right?

The timeline is
too important to risk.

We're still friends, Seg.

You can come with us
back to Kandor.

Find your Zeta-Beam gadget
and ride it back

to wherever you came from
and never come back.

- Does this mean you're in?
- I'm with you.

But no Doomsday.
We find another way.

I have His Eminence.
We are headed to his chambers.

- You do your job well.
- Thank you.

If this moment
is to be my last,

I trust you'll allow me

to look upon it
with my own eyes.

Most worthy Sagitari.
