'Lois?'

Clark.

I couldn't go through with it.

I couldn't stay away.

Let's just get out
of here and go some place

where they'll never find us.

Oh, yes, yes!

Oh, Clark, I knew..

Thinking about her?

I know she's thinking about me.

This bond that you have with her

it's so different from
the way I was taught.

Still, it must be incredible

to learn to love like that.

The mother ship
is on fast approach.

'They request your countersign.'

Zara Kala Tai.

The mother ship?

The Royal Transport, Clark.

A floating palace.

It will take us to new Krypton.

Palace?

I'm not sure I'm really
ready for a palace.

She will uncloak now.

It's a spacecraft, alright?

I mean, when you say a palace

you don't really mean like a..

...palace.

The Council of Elders is aboard.

Our subjects wish to bid
you welcome, Lord Kal-El.

Kryptonian society
is held together

by an alliance
of Noble families.

Right, right.

Who are represented
by the Council of Elders.

Right, the Council of Elders.

They'll be watching you
for any signs of ambivalence.

Mm-hmm.

It is vital you adhere strictly

to the Kryptonian customs.

Kryptonian customs.

So that we maintain the
support of all the people.

And avoid the upheaval...

That will lead to war.

They are prepared
to receive you, Kal-El.

Ready?

I just want this
kept low-key, you know?

They don't have to make
a big deal over it.

Whoa!

Walk two paces ahead of Zara.

Greet the elders with
open arms, palms up.

Say, "Brothers in bonds,
I greet thee" thrice.

You're kidding.

Brothers in bonds,
I-I greet thee... thrice.

I am Trey, Chief of the Elders.

We are humbled and
grateful to greet you.

Kal-El!

'Kal-El!'

Oh, boy.

What do you mean, Clark's gone?

Well, when you called last night

we talked about
someone going off

to see if organized crime

was taking advantage
of Superman's absence.

Now, wait a minute.

I didn't necessarily
mean you or Clark.

Well, we tossed
a coin and he won.

What? Lois, hold on here.

This could be dangerous.

Are you sure he knows
what he's gotten himself into?

Chief, to be honest,
I'm sure he has no idea.

'Lord Kal-El, Lady Zara..'

The ceremony will begin.

Why does Ching have
that funny look on his face?

I probably should've
told you about this.

About what?

The ceremony of union.

Union.. Union..

Union?

It makes it legal for us to

consummate the marriage.

What?

Look, I don't know what kind of
arrangement you and Kent have.

I thought you might
be free for dinner.

For your information,
Ralph, I am an engaged woman.

I am an engaged man!

Not here, you're not.

Here you're my husband.

Kal-El and Zara,
married since birth

in accordance with the laws..

I am taken!
Dance card filled!

'Off the market!'

Huh! And here is poor Clark

out risking his life for a story

and the minute
his back is turned

you're, you're..

Oh, whoa, it's just
a stinking dinner!

Well, you should be
ashamed of yourself.

Wow!
Lois, get a
grip!

I'll tell you this as a friend.

You have been a mess
ever since Superman left.

Well, we're friends, you know?

And I am sure that he is giving
up more than anyone knows

to do what he thinks is right.

Yeah, but did he think about us?

I mean, we need him, too!

Of course he thought about us.

'You don't think
it killed him to leave?'

But civil wars would've
broken out in his country.

Innocent people
would've been slaughtered

if he hadn't
returned to lead them.

Protecting the helpless
isn't limited to here, Ralph

and that is what Superman does!

Boy, should you be
ashamed of yourself!

As you were.

I declare this union complete.

Its consummation
sanctioned by the law.

Behold.

The bridal chamber.

So..

This is the village
where both Kal-El

and the assassin Tez
landed on Earth.

It's certainly
less barren than home.

Our master's convinced

that hordes from new Krypton
will follow him here.

Less barren, yes.
Let me see..

There may be other incentives.

So where is everybody?

Hmm.

Oh, perhaps that
palace over there.

I'll race you.

I could learn to like it here.

Locked.

Just rip them open.

- Huh.
- 'Hey!'

What the hell
do you think you're doing?

Oh, we're playing.

Would you like to play too?

That's quite enough.

Survey the village.

Be ready for my arrival.

All
will be ready, my Lord Nor.

You will be amazed at how easily

these fools are conquered.

Zara?

Yes, Kal-El?

I'm not sure what to do here.

I-I see.

And are the intimate habits
of men and women on Earth

so different from ours?

This fact never appeared
in my briefing manual.

That's not what I meant.

'There are
techniques to help couples.'

Your cable television shows
are most informative.

Please.

If you were Lois,
I'd know exactly what to do.

It'd be natural.

But this whole thing..

You and I..

Together..

We're not a couple.
We're a political solution.

So your heart isn't in this.

My heart? No.

No, my heart is waiting
for me back on Earth.

Lois is my heart.

I was an outsider
there, uh, incomplete

until I met her.

You saved yourself for her.

Well, yeah.

I saved myself for
Lieutenant Ching.

It's very Kryptonian, actually.

You see, my heart
isn't in this, either.

Then we're agreed.

Not partners in bed

but partners.

Partners.
And
friends.

I-I hold you in high
esteem, Kal-El.

Forgive the intrusion, I don't
mean to interrupt your, uh..

Uh, your handshake.

You're not intruding, Trey.

So I see.

And you wanted?

Your presence.

We must prepare
for arrival on new Krypton

and it appears, um..

You're not occupied.

Oh.

Kal-El!

Uh, look..

From now on,
you don't have to do this.

It's tradition.

I know, but it's
driving me crazy.

Up, everyone.
Up, please.

Up.

I don't believe I've said
congratulations, Lord Kal-El.

Congratulations.

Ching, listen.

There's something that
I want to make very..

I understand, Kal-El.

'We're all prisoners
of duty, I know.'

It's how ardently we embrace
our duty that concerns me.

Disturbing news, My Lord.

It appears Lord Nor and
a party of his followers

have vanished from new Krypton.

Where would they go?

It's believed they're, um..

They're on their
way toward Earth.

Ho-hos.

Twinkies.

Ding-dongs.

Snickers?

Huh. You feeling hungry?

Jonathan, you know
I never eat this stuff.

Well, then, uh, why
are we stocking up?

They're his favorites.

And I know when he comes home,
he's gonna want them.

And since he
doesn't have any problems

with cavities and cholesterol

then why not?

That's spoken like a true mom.

Martha..

We've talked about this.

There's still a
small chance that

Clark might not get back alive.

I know we've talked about it.

And you know what I said then?

"My boy is coming home."

- Martha, you...
- Jonathan.

My boy's coming home.

'Villagers of Smallville.'

'Forgive me for interrupting
your tedious lives.'

'It can't be helped.'

'A change in leadership
has occurred.'

'So report immediately to
your municipal headquarters'

'for details
of this joyful news'

'along with work
and dwelling assignments.'

'Freeze!'

Oh!

'Oh!'

Yield to the forces of Nor!

Oh! Look!

Well, well..

Isn't this an awkward moment.

Let me attempt
to smooth things over.

Friends, do not, I beg of you

think of me as
some alien creature.

'Some being who
shares nothing with you.'

Rather think of me as a God.

Stern.

Unforgiving.

Invincible.

I neither like you nor need you.

Resist me

and die.

Well..

Now that the ice is broken

my men will sort you according
to strength, age and health.

- Aah!
- Oh!

- Here.
- Where you going?

To call Lois.

This Lord Nor is the enemy that
Clark went to Krypton to fight.

'Lois.'

Hey, have you talked to Clark?

Uh..

He managed to call last night.

I'm not sure when I'll see him.

'Boy, he's
gone, Superman's gone.'

He's gone.
Superman's gone.

Lois, you don't think..

I certainly do not that..

Jimmy, that's ridiculous.

What? I was just thinking,
with all this hard work

they could both burn out.

Oh.

Oh, oh, that, oh, that.

Why?

What were you thinking?

I want a simpler life.
Simpler life.

- Lois, it's Martha.
- Hi, Martha.

Is everything okay?

Well, it's kinda
hard to explain.

A terrible thing is
happening. These peop..

Martha?

Hello, Martha?

- Jimmy?
- 'Yeah?'

Could you keep trying the Kents?

There's something wrong
with the Smallville lines.

Well, although
we got off to a rocky start

I think it's safe to say

things are back
on track, isn't it?

Isn't it?

- Alright.
- Yes, sir. Whatever you say.

Your enthusiasm
touches me deeply.

As part of our
urban improvement plan

my men have begun a
few modernizing touches.

Voila.

'Smallville has been
surrounded by a force field'

'that cannot be breached.'

Completely cutting us off
from the rest of your world.

Oh..

And another
beautification effort.

'My palace.'

At least for now.

'So, to review'

since I am absolute ruler

it follows you are my slaves.

Behold your ruler and bow down.

We don't do much
bowing here in Kansas.

No.

See, I've a feeling
we're not in Kansas anymore.

Down! Respect!

'On your knees, slaves!'

I greet you

as subjects of new

new Krypton.

Well, if the FBI doesn't
handle these things, who does?

No phone calls are getting
through to Smallville, Kansas

and the phone company
doesn't know why.

Well, then transfer
me to the Pentagon.

Oh, what are
their business hours?

Hello?

This is crazy.

Maybe I am, too.

Clark?

Clark?

- Clark?
- Mmm.

Oh.

I'm going crazy.

And I'm talking to myself.

That's a sign, isn't it?

Now I'm asking myself questions.

Oh, this could be a problem.

Or maybe I'll learn to enjoy it.

You're just an illusion.

Not here.

Oh, God.

Oh, if this isn't real,
I don't want to know.

Mmm..

I told you I'd come back.

Mmm! And you did.
Kiss me.

I don't have a lot of time.

I had to see you.

Why are you here?

- Change of plans.
- Oh, don't stop.

What about your people?

They're here, too.

Don't ever leave me again.

I won't.

'Lord Kal-El.'

Family friend?

Very friendly.

Sir, forgive me
for reminding you

how critical your presence
is at the palace.

Palace?

Temporary palace.

It-it floats.

Yes, Trey. I know.

'Yes, well, in that case'

I suggest you unhand your friend

and, um, return to
your troops and your bride.

I hear you.

If it were my country, I'd
want to kick Godzilla's butt, too.

I'm sure you would.

Ching, they took him away.

He was here,
and they took him away.

And do you have
any idea how much

cookie dough ice cream
I've eaten tonight?

- Where is Clark?
- In the palace.

I don't see any palace.

That would be correct.

Ching..

It's cloaked.

So that even now, it is
hovering undetected over the city.

Well, I've got to tell you

seeing him for
less than a minute

was almost worse than
not seeing him at all.

Almost, but not.

Yes. Kal-El too, said
he was very bumped.

Bummed.

He was bummed.

He feels your absence deeply.

I try to tell him
that a Kryptonian

must disregard his own feelings.

Oh, right.

Like you're not sick inside

that Clark's married
to the woman you adore.

How's the marriage going,
anyway?

Any squabbles?
Tiffs? Door slammings?

Zara and Kal-El do not
have time for tiffs.

- Lord Nor is here.
- Why?

'When he learned he
would have superpowers on Earth'

it made conquest
too tempting to resist.

Well, we have to do something.
We have to tell someone.

Earthly force is
useless against him.

And if Kal-El
cannot successfully

lead our men against Nor

then he will
colonize your world.

Then all our dreams..

Yours, mine, and
Clark's will be lost.

This is why he had to leave you.

And, yes, it... does

make me sick to
see Zara with Kal-El.

But not as sick as if both our
worlds were destroyed by Nor.

So this isn't just
about your people anymore

but mine as well.

Ching, I want to see Clark.

There's no way
your customs will allow it?

Actually..

...there is one custom
that might interest you.

As your advisor, Kal-El

I regretfully endorse

a preemptive strike
by our forces against Nor's.

We have no idea where he is

or whether we outnumber him.

Well, my guess is we do.

And a guess isn't good enough.

I have my people's
lives to consider.

By "Your people" do you mean us?

Or the ones on Earth?

Everyone.

But if we do attack,
the big losers

will be the people of Earth,
trapped in the crossfire.

Perhaps Kal-El's loyalty has
been compromised by... sentiment.

If by "Sentiment" you mean
that I value human life?

Yeah, I'm kind of
a nut that way.

Husband, may we speak?

I know this is difficult.

I just don't like
slaughter being discussed

like it's an inconvenience.

Every war harms the innocent.

Look at that map.

What do you see?

Troop deployments,
mountains, borders, rivers.

Yeah, well, I see neighborhoods,
parks, schoolyards.

Places where people
expect to be safe.

Now, I will not rob
those people of their futures

just because Krypton cannot
solve its problems at home.

If that's what you want me to do

then I have no business
being your leader.

A bit of domestic discord?

You don't know the half of it.

Be patient, my lord.

The first few days
of any marriage

are bound to be strained.

Trey.

Lord Kal-El, I have brought
you something important.

- What, you found Nor?
- No.

Have an estimate of his troops?

No.

His attack plan?

No. I have brought you
a selection of concubines.

Sorry?

It is our custom for Nobles
to ease their tensions

with the help
of professional care-givers.

Guys, I am trying to hold
this unstable alliance together

long enough to defeat Nor's army

and you guys are
talking concubines?

If you'll just take a moment

to inspect these women.

I do not inspect women, Ching.

I'm telling you that-that..

...that this could be
a really good custom.

Chief! Trouble in Smallville.

- What kind of trouble?
- Don't know.

- What are the facts?
- Can't get any.

Well, who there
have you talked to?

No one.

Clark's hometown is Smallville.

Have Lois get in touch with him.

- She can't.
- Why not?

I'm not sure.

Boy, you're just a
fountain of information.

How in the Sam Hill do you
even know there's trouble?

A U.S. Spy satellite shows a
force field of unknown origin

sealing the city off
from the rest of the world.

There's a team
of army investigators

on their way there now.

'Hey, chief!
Take a look at this.'

I'm Leeza Gibbons, coming to
you live from Smallville, Kansas.

Judas priest.
Scooped.

My very special guest today
is Lord Nor of new Krypton.

Welcome, Lord Nor.

Thank you, Leeza.

So, what brings you to Earth?

We're a caring planet, Leeza.

An advanced culture
sharing its bounty

with a more primitive one.

Mr. Nor,
the tough questions.

Why a force field?

Why over the entire city?

Well, I don't have to talk
to you about crime, Leeza.

The field is basically
a protective device

to keep the town
safe from intruders.

And not to keep
the people of Smallville in?

Well, that's up to them.

Needless to say,
it would be vastly safer

for them to remain inside.

And how would
leaving endanger them?

Well, they'd be killed.

By me.

These people are your prisoners?

Well, "Prisoners" is
such a pejorative term.

What would you call them?

Students.

I aim to educate the people

to accept me as their
unquestioned ruler.

And what more do you want?

To educate the entire
world along similar lines.

In fact, if there are
any kings, presidents

princes, or interested
world leaders listening

we really should get together

to discuss the rapid transfer
of global power to me.

You can't expect
legitimate heads of state

to accept this situation.

Indeed.

And if there's any doubt

we'll start killing two
quivering citizens of Smallville

every day until we get
a polite response.

Starting with these two.

What are your feelings
about being executed?

Concubines?

I thought this was some great,
evolved civilization.

I mean, look at me.
I'm on a leash.

Yeah, well, look at
the outfit they put me in.

Well, actually,
I don't mind yours.

So, this must be the bridal bed.

Comfy.

I suppose.

And my Clark, a married man.

A married Lord.

You know, I was meaning
to ask you, Clark, um..

Just how married are you?

- What?
- Well..

I know that you feel
an obligation to your people

and you are a pretty thorough
guy when it comes to details.

And you do look good.

Really great in the new suit.

You think it's better
than the blue and the cape?

Oh, no, I'm not
knocking the blue suit.

It's just that this is more..

More.

And I know that you
got married in good faith.

And you are a man of your word.

How married are you?

Lois.

I promised you first.

I can't even explain

how frustrating
all this has been for me

posing as a husband

stumbling over
these very strange customs.

I'm asked to lead people who
don't even completely trust me

and the only time
that I feel real

is inside my head

thinking about you.

Well, I'm here now.

Do you mind? I'm
on the clock here.

Forgive me, sir, but
we thought you should know.

Lord Nor has captured
the village of Smallville

'and claimed it as his own.'

'There's
our target, gentlemen.'

Alright, move back.

Attention, space creatures.

I'm Colonel Ambrose Cash,
United States Army.

We are giving you a chance
to throw down your arms

and surrender at once.

Is it worth
reminding the Colonel

that these Kryptonians
are probably invincible

and that the only ones in danger
are the people of Smallville?

Sir.

Lieutenant, we are under orders.

These United States
ain't theirs for the taking.

Yeah, those devils
are ignoring us.

Open fire!

Okay.

Return and tell your people

never again to attempt
these amateurish tactics.

You can't stop us.

Chief!

Chief, the U.N.'s ordered
the world's military

to stand down
for the next 48 hours.

They want to negotiate
with the Kryptonians.

Sell them on the American dream.

Of course.
I lost men out there.

Bunch of weaklings.

'Mr. White.'

The Kryptonian high command

is commandeering this building.

Just hold on there.

Aren't you the fella
that took Superman away?

He's also the one that's
bringing him back, chief, look.

Superman.

Cool outfit.

Mr. White, forgive the intrusion

but the Kryptonian
force in Smallville

needs to be dealt with.

'Since this is
a communications center'

'it'd make a great base of
operations, if that's alright?'

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

I'll move in, too.
Keep an eye on you.

Lois?

Uh, I-I..

Jimmy, do me a favor. Get
Dr. Klein on the phone, please.

What's the current
status of Smallville?

All the water and power
has been cut off.

The Kryptonians don't
need any water or food.

The ones that are being hurt
are the people of Smallville.

'Dr. Klein? It's Olsen from
the "Planet." Hold for Superman.'

Dr. Klein?
Yes, it's me.

I'll need your Kryptonite
specimen removed from the vault.

It may be the only resolution
to the Smallville situation.

I don't know what Kryptonite is

but if Lord Nor has been
behaving illegally...

If?

He's holding
an entire town hostage.

Why this incessant worry
about this stupid town?

Well, maybe Kal-El
has a plan of his own.

'We don't know what's going
on inside that force field.'

We have no way
of penetrating it.

But if we could find a way
of infiltrating Smallville

we could look around.

I could go too,
my fiancé's from there

and I know the place.

Sir, I really must request

that the wishes
of the Elders be heeded.

And I really must insist
that we do as I say.

Alright, Superman.

And who are you to
insist we do anything?

Who am I, Jen Mai?

I am your commander.

This is
the green, My Lord.

It says here, this is the most
important part of the game.

Really?

"Left arm remains straight.

Eye remains on the ball."

Fascinating.

I could love this game.

"The grass surrounding
the cup is of a shorter

and sturdier variety and should
be trimmed to 5/8 of an inch."

Keep it moving there!

Hmm.

"Sand trap."

' "Sand trap."'

Hi, mom, dad.

Clark.

Honey, I can't believe..

Clark had to return
because of Lord Nor.

He's here, son.
He's made us into his slaves.

I know. So we're going
to become slaves, too.

See if we can
undo all this mess.

Concubine to slave.
Is that a step down?

What's that?

Someone's has
to stand up to you!

I'd rather burn
the damn golf course

than be your slave on it!

Hey!

'Back to the village!'

'Back to work.
Clean up this..'

'You! Carry the rebel!'

Ha!

Anybody call for a cab?

Look at our troops.

A lifetime of Kryptonian
discipline forgotten.

Don't be so insufferably dull.

All that discipline
has left them starved

for a little debauchery.

What's the harm?

It certainly wouldn't
be allowed at home.

It certainly wouldn't.

Which is why
so many of our comrades

will leave that wretched rock

and follow me here to paradise.

My Lord, the townspeople
are begging for water.

Their tongues
are blistered with thirst.

The point being?

They'll have what's
rationed to them

and not a drop more.

They have their
government to thank for it.

They'll all die slow
and horrible deaths.

No, not all.

The lucky ones will be executed.

From what I've
been able to pick up

their master plan is to
make city after city surrender.

Metropolis being
the first on the list.

Look at us.

I always sort of figured
we'd be on our honeymoon

about right now.

Well, at least
you're here with me.

Being without you?

That was bad.

And besides..

What?

Well, if you
wanna know the truth

it's kind of exciting.

Just seems to be the
way our life together is.

Oh, God,
do you think that's what

makes our relationship work?

No.

Okay.

This looks like a good place.

For what?

You drilled a well?

Got to get some water
to all these people.

'You two! Back to work!'

Alright.
Move it along.

Promise me, once in a while

we'll have a quiet
evening at home?

- Here you go.
- It's water. Shh.

Now, don't turn around.

Be careful.

Careful.

Drink it slow.

'Hey, Drull.'

'See that old guy over there?'

'Use him as your target.'

- 'You watching, prisoner?'
- 'No, please, I'm begging you!'

'Drull, freeze him.'

Excellent.

Most efficient
manner of execution.

Come on.

Prepare to die.

'Who are
you to be accusing me?'

You heard me! I saw all
that food you were hoarding!

- It's not fair!
- She's lying!

I am not!
I saw it myself!

Liar!

Stop at once!

Ran! Drull!

You see what's happened?

You fools, you've lost
control of these wretches.

'We'll find him, Lord Nor.'

That's not just
a worthless prisoner.

The whole mood
of the town is changing.

And I believe I know why.

I've just received
some disturbing news

from an unimpeachable source.

Jonathan and Martha Kent!

'Show yourselves!'

Let's see how much
he cares for mum and dad.

'Let's go!
Out of the way!'

'Move aside!'

It's okay.

'Come on, old man!'

'Let's go!'

I told you you'd
be the first to go

if I didn't get what I want.

Well.

What I want is..

...Kal-El.

Lord Kal-El!

'I know you're among us!'

I'm still waiting, Kal-El.

And I assure you, my credentials

in the field
of excruciating death

are impeccable.

What do you want with me, Nor?

Where do I start?

I want your throne, Kal-El.

And I want your world.

And I want you gone..

...forever.
