Original subtitles

Okay, okay, okay.

So, barring any further bouts of amnesia...

Or shrinking.

Or cloning or Kryptonite

or time travel or voodoo.

I say we get married sooner rather than later.

Me, too.

I just have to wait long enough for my mother

to recover from our last wedding.

Oh, Lois, I'd like to get married this century, okay?

Oh, here's the research you wanted

on that subway project.

Oh, that was fast. I just asked for it yesterday.

I stayed late.

Well, for that... you deserve a doughnut.

Whoa, not the banana cream. The chief will kill me.

Oh, um, but, uh..

Here, you can have mine.

'Jimmy!'

I got to go.

Uh, I know I'm sort of new here.

Well, I'm not that new. I've been here a month, but..

Do you take suggestions for stories from someone else?

Yeah, if it's a good idea.

Well, I was thinking, there's always so much bad news.

What if you do a series on people

who make personal sacrifices for the good of society.

- Like astronauts. - Or medical missionaries.

- Or Superman. - Exactly.

What really drives him or people like him.

Well, I would say it's something...

Alright, turn those things up!

They're about to christen the space station.

'And in just five minutes'

at 9 o'clock Eastern Standard Time

'we'll take you live to the opening ceremonies'

'of the United Nations space station.'

'Home to over 100'

'orbiting scientists and astronauts'

the space station is led by Commander Bob Rozakis.

'Rozakis, by the way is on his 11th space mission.'

'Joining him in the command module'

'is veteran astronaut Captain Tim Lanier'

'who, last month, sang happy birthday from space'

'to his daughter Debbie Jo.'

Uh, ju-just one moment, please. I'm..

'Apparently there has been'

'some kind of technical difficulty.'

'The space station's thrusters have misfired'

'and are driving the space station'

'towards the Earth's atmosphere'

where the space station will burn up

if re-entry cannot be prevented.

'Mission Control is in contact with the station'

'but, so far, they are unable to ascertain the reasons'

'for the station's thrusters firing.'

Hey, Jurgens, get me Binder in Houston.

And Swan, I wanna talk to our stringer on the Cape, right now.

- Lois, Clark. - I'm already writing.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to call my friend at, uh, at NASA.

Oh, boy, if only we had Superman's telephone number.

So far the crew has not been able

to shut down the engines.

'Mission Control now estimates'

that the friction of the Earth's atmosphere

will cause disintegration of this station

to commence in approximately one minute.

'Breaking news just in.'

'Mission Control is saying the space station'

'has turned around.'

'Superman seized the ship and returned it to orbit.'

'The Man of Steel reportedly..'

Did I miss anything? I heard cheering.

Superman saved the space station.

Oh, man. He was like a fly on the windshield of a car.

Except this time, the fly stopped the car.

Whamo.

Lois, Clark, I want everything you got on this story.

I wanna know exactly why

a 64 billion dollar space station

tried to turn itself into a charcoal briquette.

And I want it by 1:00.

'Cause that's when I got a car

coming to pick Jimmy and me up

and nobody is gonna interfere with my fishing trip.

You got it. Nobody.

See ya.

Oh.

You okay?

That was one of the toughest things I've ever done.

And I almost didn't stop it.

But you did. That's the important thing.

So, Star Labs?

Absolutely.

Hey, I wanted to say if you need any research for your story

just let me know.

Thanks, Sarah. We will.

Okay.

I think somebody has a crush on somebody.

But I'm an engaged man.

All the more tempting.

Somebody else isn't jealous, are they?

Not in the least.

What a pity you lack self-confidence.

You know, we're definitely gonna have to work on that.

Well, maybe I need some private instruction.

Oh.

Well, you know

it could be... rigorous and intensive.

No pain, no gain. What do you say we start now?

Okay.

'Seconds before the main thrusters ignited'

the station received a very brief

tight-beam microwave transmission.

'It sent in a computer code'

'that overrode the automatic controls'

'and fired the thrusters.'

Do we know where the transmission

came from?'

- Don't touch that! - Uh!

Oh! Sorry.

I'm measuring the electron flow along the plasma wake

as the laser passes through two different gasses.

Plasma wake? That's it!

- Dr. Klein? - 'Caution.'

'Mad scientist at work.'

No matter how brief it was

the microwave beam must have left a trail

'of agitated molecules along its path.'

I'd say something was agitated.

Agitation means heat.

Therefore, by using the infrared detectors

on some low-orbiting satellites

we should be able to identify

and backtrack down the column

of heated molecules to its source.

Ah-ha! Gotcha!

Ooh, I-I don't see anything.

I'm switching over to an NIA spy satellite.

We'll get real-time photos

now that I've locked in all the molecules.

A spy satellite? You can do that?

The name is Klein.

Bernard Klein.

You know, like James Bond. "Bond. James Bond."

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's-that's...

We were just teasing. That was really very good.

It was... yeah.

'Here we go.'

'Let's see.'

'Eastern seaboard.'

'Looks like New Troy.'

'There's the river.'

'Charlotte Drive.'

'Looks like it came from right here in Metropolis.'

Of course. Where else would it be?

Every villain in the universe

seems to operate out of Metropolis.

'For once, I just wish we could have a villain in Maui'

or Aspen or Monte Carlo.

H-how accurate is this?

Plus or minus six feet.

I'd say that's close enough. Thanks, doc.

Nice little yard.

Yeah. It's cute.

Nice little fence.

'I like the driveway, too.'

I like the latticework around the porch.

I've always sort of liked this style of house.

Yeah. It's pretty great.

Definitely the kind of place I could go for.

Me, too. Let's try around back.

Okay.

Well, we know that this sent the signal.

But where's the device that this signal came from?

- 'Can I help you?' - 'Oh, yes.'

'Uh, we were just looking at the house.'

'We saw the sign and we thought we'd stop.'

Well, you found a good one.

- I'm Dave Miller. - Lois Lane.

This is my fiance, Clark Kent.

Is this something you'd be interested in?

Yes, actually, it's sort of our dream house

'and we love the neighborhood'

but, um, this morning around 5:00 till 9:00

we were driving by, and we saw some, um.

Uh, strange people?

Yeah. Sort of hanging around.

Wondered if maybe you happened to see them?

No, no, I haven't seen anyone except my clients.

An elderly couple in their 60s.

This is one of the safest neighborhoods in Metropolis.

If you like, I can give you the name of listing agent.

Oh, oh, so you don't handle this house?

No, I represent some buyers.

I'd be happy to show you some of my listings if you like.

Oh, no. We're really just getting started.

Well, I understand.

Well, don't hesitate to call.

At century 22, we bring your future to you.

- I'll just be in second. - Right.

Okay, thanks.

The UN is in an uproar.

They canceled their science conference

to deal with the space station.

No terrorist group has claimed responsibility.

And the NIA thinks it's a lone gunman.

Great. What's next? The Eiffel Tower?

The Parthenon?

It takes one single lunatic

to bring everything crashing down.

Yeah.

Not unlike our wedding.

No kidding.

You know, uh, for our next wedding

maybe we should do something different.

I was thinking we could just elope.

- Elope? - Yeah. It would be fun.

'Intimate, less complicated'

'sort of a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing will be romantic.'

Just you and me and a few friends

our parents.

Amiable passerby. Mariachi band.

What? What are you looking at?

You.

Just sitting here wondering

what my life would have been like

if I'd never met you.

Yeah.

What if you'd never left Smallville?

Smallville? What if I'd never left Krypton?

Oh.

You probably have parents there

that have their heart set on a daughter-in-law

from Jupiter.

Uh. How'd you know about her?

I bet they really would have liked you.

Jor-El and Lara.

Do you think about them much?

Sometimes.

But that is in my past.

What's in my future..

...is us.

Okay, well go find your fake bug on a hook

and let's get outta here.

"Fake bug on a hook?"

'This is my lucky fly.'

'Jimmy told me he was gonna go fishing.'

I said I'd lend it to him, but I can't remember

where I put it.

I looked for it this morning, and..

Ah-ha!

Here it is.

My dad gave this to me

when I was seven.

It never misses.

Looks like the moths didn't miss it, either.

- And I love this fly. - Oh, come on.

I'll buy you a new one on our honeymoon.

Mm. Thank you very much.

Are you alone, or are you having another doughnut?

I'm alone. Did they find it?

No, and it was super obvious.

A child of two could have discovered it.

Perhaps we should have laid down bread crumbs

or a neon sign or a large..

Ching, don't start.

Why are you so protective?

Wait. Do I detect admiration?

- Not at all. - Wait. I sense..

You're attracted to how tight his clothing is

across the muscles of his posterior.

No, I'm not.

I was thinking about phase two.

Oh, is that what they call it.

Let's just continue as planned, shall we?

It should be interesting to see Superman

try to survive this.

So, we've got the satellite dish, but no transmitter.

And no suspects.

Off the lamp.

'Can't be Lame Brain, or the Prankster or Tempus.'

Because they're all in jail.

Off the door frame with a back flip.

And Lex and Bad Brain are dead.

Also correct.

Off the water bottle off the coat rack

in the cup.

Oh. You know, you could miss one every once in a while.

Guys, Dr. Klein's on line three.

Here is all I've been able to find

'on companies involved with microwave technology.'

Oh, that was quick.

I knew it was important

so I just moved you right up to the top of the list.

Thanks, Sarah.

Okay.

Is she seeing anyone?

Jimmy, we'd be the last ones to know.

And you guys call yourselves reporters?

Don't you have a limo to catch.

'Hey, some things are more important than trout.'

Like your phone call.

Oh.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Dr. Klein.

I just finished deciphering the last of the computer code

that was sent to the space station.

'It was very interesting, actually.'

'The encryption was in multiples of the wavelength... '

Dr. Klein?

Right. Okay.

To the point.

If Superman wasn't able to save the space station

the main thrusters were programmed to stop

and the altitude thrusters would have fired anyway.

'The space station would have saved itself.'

So, you mean there was never any real danger?

Exactly.

'But why program it'

to put itself in jeopardy

and then rescue itself?

That's the 64 billion dollar question.

Thanks, Dr. Klein.

Maybe that real estate guy didn't tell us everything.

- What was his name? - Dave Miller.

Hey, never let it be said

that I don't pull my weight in this relationship.

Hello, may I speak to Dave Miller, please?

Uh, yeah, he's one of your brokers.

He showed me a house this morning.

Oh, okay, I see.

Thank you.

No broker named Dave Miller?

Bingo.

Jimmy!

Ha-ha! Good news! She's single.

That's great. Call Detective Kuramoto.

And see if he can get us some mug shots on guys

who might run real estate scams

and/or be experts in microwave technology.

Oh, yeah. Those two are related.

Lois! Clark! I just got an anonymous phone call.

There's a bomb set to go off in front

'of the Metropolis Museum of Natural History.'

It's in a backpack by the lions.

- Clark, you get the car. - Oh, yeah. Right.

Now, Jimmy, I want you to pull up everything

you got on the museum.

Superman!

You all have to leave immediately.

There may be a bomb.

- Cool. - I wanna stay.

Is that the bomb?

It's not here.

"Superman, if you're reading this

"I assume you got my message.

"Here is the location of the real bomb.

"It's on this micro-CD.

'"Unfortunately, you have to assemble the player'

in time to play it. Good luck."

Superman, what's going on?

A very dangerous riddle.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to concentrate.

- Can we help? - I can do my four times tables.

Wanna hear? Four times one is four.

Four times two is eight.

'Four times three is fourteen.'

- Twelve! - No, it's not.

Kids.

That's stupid!

Stupid's not a nice word.

'Congratulations.'

'But the bomb is still ticking.'

'Here's another puzzle.'

'Twice the square root of Holst is where you start.'

'Cary Grant knew the direction.'

'Patrick Henry.'

- That's it? - Okay.

The only Holst I know is Gustav Holst, the composer.

He wrote a symphony called "The Planets."

'There are nine planets.'

'So the square root of nine is three.'

I know my threes tables.

Three times one is three. Three times two is...

Not now, Sammy. Not now.

- Twice three is six. - I knew that.

But six of what, or the sixth what?

It could be anything.

But if it is based on the symphony of "The Planets"

then the, the sixth planet is Saturn.

- Is that like the moon? - No.

Saturn has rings around it, just like

the "Daily Planet" logo.

Lois! Lois, it's..

Superman, there's a bomb at the museum.

No, no, no. It's somewhere around here.

- Lois just went... - No, no, I'll explain later.

But Cary Grant was in a movie called "North by Northwest."

- Right? - Yeah.

Was he in any other movie with a compass

or the direction heading in the title?

Uh, gee, I'm not a big Cary Grant fan.

I'm more of a Jim Carrey's my...

- Uh, Jimmy. - No, not that I know of.

Okay, alright.

We'll start here under the globe.

North is this way, right?

And Patrick Henry? What?

A-a revolutionary, revolutionary war, patriot...

"Give me liberty, or give me death."

Alright, and death is what's gonna happen

if we don't find that bomb.

But what is liberty?

Freedom? Escape? Uh..

- Liberty-liberty-liberty.. - Get-out-of-jail free card.

"Liberty."

Oh! I just remembered.

Cary Grant was also in a movie

called "Destination Tokyo."

- Thanks, Jimmy. - Yeah.

Nice hat.

Perry's idea.

He found it just in time.

We have to talk.

What kind of sick person does somethin' like that?

I don't..

- What did you see? - Dave Miller.

Uh, he's a guy Clark told me about.

The real estate guy?

Where did he go?

I don't know.

- Are you sure you saw him? - Absolutely.

Look, peep Lois and Clark, and tell them to

meet me at that house, they went to this morning.

I wanna see if there's any clues that the other people

from Star Labs might have overlooked.

You got it.

I'll never get used to that.

'And the bomb almost exploded.'

Correction. It did explode.

But your able-bodied friend managed to toss it

into the ionosphere in another modest display of strength.

- He's not my friend. - 'No, no. You're right.'

Maybe friend is too mild a word.

Perhaps your feelings are stronger.

'How else could you explain when he tempts you'

with a doughnut, you give in.

- You had a cappuccino. - I didn't enjoy it.

Ching, you're being ridiculous.

You know where my feelings lie.

Really?

Then how do you explain these.

These-these ear adornments and these clothes?

And... you're wearing chemical compounds.

Everyone does. It's harmless. It means nothing.

Yeah, and what's next, liposuction?

It must mean something

otherwise you wouldn't take the time out

to go shopping and use it.

I suppose he likes it.

You forget yourself.

On the contrary

you've forgotten who you are

and why we're here.

While you've been indulging yourself

I've been pushing ahead with our plan.

And you are pushing too hard!

Life is hard! Our life is hard!

Yes, people may die

but remember our goal.

I remember.

Good.

Then I suggest we proceed.

We know his strength and his intelligence.

Now we'll see where his heart really lies.

Okay, I'll bite.

Why would Dave Miller be looking around an alley?

You got me, but if he is connected

to the space station and the bombing

he's either crazy or he's really smart.

Or worse, he's a really smart crazy person.

So what are we looking for?

Anything unusual

no matter how unimportant it seems.

Okay.

Let's assume the worst case scenario.

That he's a really smart madman.

It's gotta be something big.

I mean, he was able to out think the space program.

He's willing to risk hundreds of lives.

And why would he do all this?

And that space station was a bluff.

Yeah, but that bomb under the manhole cover

was not a bluff.

El zippo.

This is definitely strange.

'You know, I was thinking for a minute'

'these things were just'

'diversions to get me out of the way'

so some other crimes could be committed

but so far, nothing is happened.

It's almost like you're being tested.

Or set up for something bigger.

Yeah, definitely. Something bigger.

Well, there's something big.

There's a quarter.

We can use it on our down payment.

Speaking of money..

...I was thinking that

you know, maybe we ought to make an offer on this house.

Very funny.

- I'm serious. - What?

That's your happy look, right?

Surprised but happy, right?

Clark, are you out of your mind?

But you are the one who always tell me to take a chance.

Be spontaneous, carpe diem, seize the day.

Well, I'm talking about little things

like wearing brown shoes with a gray suit

or putting the coleslaw actually on the pastrami sandwich.

Not this. This is huge. This is colossal.

I-I mean, this is a life-altering decision

that could have repercussions for decades.

Whoa, whoa, okay. We haven't done anything yet.

How do you know I even want a house?

Well, this-this morning you said

that you really liked this place.

I really like the Grand Canyon

but I don't wanna buy it.

Clark, it's just a really big step.

I-I just thought that

you know, after we got married

you wanna get a place.

You know, put down some roots.

Lois?

Well, I just don't... know

if I'm gonna be any good at that.

Anyways, we should get back to work

because all my search has turned up so far

'is this one..'

Clark, look at this.

This isn't a quarter.

It's a micro transmitter.

This must be what Dr. Klein honed in on.

The satellite was a decoy.

Well, he did say plus or minus six feet.

Let me see.

Finally.

It's about time you found this, Superman.

Or should I say, "Super Slow Man?"

Wait. Don't answer that.

I just wanted to say, hello.

And you'll be seeing a lot more of me soon.

The best..

...and the worst

is yet to come.

Now, see, Jimmy.

This is what we call a woolly bugger.

I call him a goopy worm for short.

And you just flip it all out there.

Follow my lead.

Easy as pie.

Fish actually eat these?

Quicker than you can say trout almondine.

'Mr. White?'

- Mr. Olsen? - Huh?

I'm Dave Miller.

Well, hey, how you doing?

I've got to tell you, this is like

nothing I've ever seen.

Whoever wrote this is a genius.

I'm almost down to the atomic level

and there's still circuitry.

Hold it. There seems to be some lettering here.

"Ching Limited."

Roberta, it's Lois.

I need an address for a Ching Limited.

Two words, the last one is abbreviated.

'It's open!'

Good. You're here.

Now the real fun begins.

Listen, Miller, or whoever you are

if we don't get some answers, Superman's gonna

come through that door in two seconds.

Really?

One.

Two.

Whoops. Did I miss him?

Or perhaps you were exaggerating a bit.

I guess we'll have to go on without him then.

Bomb A.

- No. - Bomb B.

Now here is an interesting problem.

The two bombs are electronically linked.

'Stop one, the other goes off.'

'Separate them, say by'

'throwing the one at your apartment into space'

'and the other goes off.'

So, do you save Metropolis

or White and Olsen?

What do you say, Clark?

Or should I say Superman?

Why are you doing this?

Because we need to know.

Sarah, what are you doing here? What do you need to know?

This is really not the time to dawdle.

Do you save two people you really care about

or million strangers?

It's unfair. You can't make him choose.

People have to make choices all the time.

Low fat or regular, Calvin Klein or Versace.

Life or death. What'll it be?

Stop the bombs.

Did you just think of that?

That's good, but I can't.

Nobody can be in two places at once.

He'd have to split himself in two.

Why are you doing this? It's insane.

No, it's a test.

And one I'm deadly serious about.

And now we know the answer.

He's going to try to save Metropolis.

- We can stop. - No.

We need to see it through. We have to know absolutely.

"Sorry. I need to borrow this. Superman.

PS, Thank you."

Yes!

He did it.

Jimmy, Mr. White, you guys okay?

Yeah. Yeah, we are now. Boy, I'll tell you something.

That's a lot more excitement

than I'm used to on a fishing trip.

Yeah, well, don't worry, you're not the only ones

in for some excitement.

Jimmy, can you hold this for a second?

I got to fly.

Well, chief, uh..

...I guess we better cancel, huh?

Huh? Aw, come on, Jimmy.

Trout out there with your name written all over it.

Come on, son.

You.

You gave him the idea.

He would've failed if you hadn't been here.

Come on. We've got to leave now.

Wait a minute. Aah!

Ugh. Uh.

As another block of muscle once said.

"Hasta la vista, baby."

Lois?

Lois?

Can, can you hear me? Huh?

You okay?

He knew you were Superman.

I know, but don't ask me how.

And what does Sarah have to do with all this?

Wh-what happened after I left?

He threw me away

like he was flinging a piece of spaghetti against the wall

to see if it would stick.

Well, if he's that strong he's even more dangerous

than we thought.

I had the weirdest dream.

I dreamed I was in this house in the back yard.

And I had this chef's hat on.

I was barbecuing burgers

and my legs were turning into roots.

And they were growing into the ground

and I was screaming "I am not an oak! I am free!"

Lois, honey, maybe, maybe you better lie back down.

Come on.

Mmm.

Now are you happy?

Well, he would've failed without Lane's help.

No doubt he'd put that ridiculous suit of his

on backwards if she weren't around.

Why do you keep denying what we've both seen?

Look, you find him worthy.

I find him wanting.

I'll admit, he has ability, but look at him.

Skulking around, wearing glasses

when I know for a fact they're completely unnecessary.

And why pretend at all?

He could rule the world if he wanted to

and enforce what he knows to be a better way

and yet he refuses.

Perhaps there's a higher lesson there.

Ching.

No. No. Don't you understand?

This..

This kaleidoscope of virtues

this... Superman.

He doesn't deserve what's been handed to him.

And I'll prove it.

Obviously, I have ambivalent feelings

about owning a house, and..

...all that that means.

Obviously.

If I can just reassemble this

maybe we'll have a way of locating Ching and Sarah.

I mean, I move from place to place.

I take assignments all over the world.

It's like I deliberately run from putting down roots

like that's a bad thing.

There. That piece fits.

Clark.

I'm talking about something important here.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey. I-I'm just...

When I saw that house today

it suddenly became really clear to me

what you want.

And I just don't know if I can give you that.

Lois.

You've already given me everything that I want.

You.

I-I don't care if we live in a house

or a boxcar or a yurt

just as long as we're together.

What's a yurt?

- It's a circular portable... - Clark.

I know a house is important to you.

When I was growing up..

...my home..

...meant permanence.

A-a place to be safe.

My life is so chaotic now

going from disaster to disaster.

I just always dreamed..

...of having my own..

...real home.

When I was a kid..

...home was where

mom was in the lounge chair getting drunk

and daddy was in the backyard burning steaks

trying to explain what he was doing

kissing Mrs. Bellcanto in the church parking lot.

Permanence... wasn't so permanent

in my house.

Lois.

You and I..

...are gonna be as permanent..

...as permanent can be.

So I guess I should stop running.

I-I won't burn the steaks, I promise.

Forget the steaks.

Just don't be kissing Mrs. Bellcanto.

Superman.

What?

Yes, it's me.

I'm here at your apartment.

Don't keep me waiting.

What do you hear?

A voice in my head.

He's at my apartment.

Then we better go.

I'm gonna put you away for the rest of your life.

How much are you willing to sacrifice

to personally put me away?

- Plenty. - That's good.

That's the attitude.

Then by all means, come and get me.

Two guesses what this is.

'It rhymes with Kryptonite.'

Lois, no helping.

Turn it off.

Okay, it's... Kryptonite.

Actually a Kryptonite force field.

What's the matter, Superman?

Don't you still want me?

I'll take a piece of you.

- Let go! - He has to do this alone.

That's good. That's good.

Better yet, why don't you just run away?

See? I told you.

You can't hide in there forever.

I don't intend to.

Expand.

- Ching, what are you doing? - Simple.

Testing the Man of Steel.

I intend to shoot myself.

'Now, of course, you can try to stop me'

'but to do that, you'll have to pass through'

the force field, which as you can tell is lethal.

Ching, I order you to stop now.

I'm beyond orders!

So, you can either let me die

'the man who tried to kill Olsen and White'

plus a million other people

or you can kill yourself

trying to save me.

He's bluffing.

I wasn't bluffing about the bombs, was I?

- Five. - Ching, don't do it!

This is the only way to prove to you that I'm right. Four.

- I believe you. - No, you don't! Three.

What's killing yourself gonna prove?

That I'm right and he's not. Two.

Whatever it is, Ching

it's not worth dying for.

Yes, it is.

One.

No!

Aah!

- No. - Aah!

- Why did you do this? - I..

What have I done? He is the one.

He's going to be alright. Let's tell the others.

Did I save him? Lois?

Where'd they go?

Are you feeling any better?

Yeah. Thank you.

Well, I'll tell you that-that, Kryptonite

it's a humbling experience.

Clark.

Sarah and this Ching person..

...first they nearly tried to kill you

and then in the end they say, "He's the one."

- "The one" what? - I don't know.

And then they flew. How could they fly?

I don't know.

Who do you think they are?

Lois, I have no idea.

I was the unconscious one on the floor, remember?

But nobody on Earth has ever had your powers.

No.

Not unless they were somehow

transferred directly from me.

Do you think there's any possibility

that they aren't from Earth?

No. Oh, no. That's a dumb idea.

It's going to be more of a problem than I thought.

He's lived too many years on Earth as Clark Kent.

It's going to take some convincing.

What do you mean convincing? It's the law.

He passed our tests. The law demands he return.

Just tell him. It's the law.

Kryptonian Law.

Yes, and he is Kryptonian.

I'm in no mood to coddle him, Sarah.

Ching, he's our future.

And our children's future.

I think that we can find the proper way

to tell Kal-El

that he must leave the Earth forever.

Well, well. I found you.

I traced your transmissions before you disguised them.

And I'm given to understand

you found him as well.

Unfortunately, by finding Kal-El

you've just signed his death warrant.
