What's this one, Grandpa? And this! Whoa! Where'd you get--
One minute, Van. Something's bothering you.
Here. And here. And here.
A series of mild tremors. Not unusual. I don't see what--
Something's wrong, Dad. Something's going to happen. I can feel it in--
Oh, so you're a scientist now.
Dad.
Do I have to remind you about a certain prediction of my own? Made, I'm embarrassed to say, when you were only a few days old. I announced to the world that Krypton was going to explode, and it took me years to salvage my reputation.
But maybe you were right. Maybe-- Maybe I've just been working too hard.
The past is dead. Focus on the feature.
Can we go up to the roof, Grandpa?
Somebody wants to see my macroscope.
Go on up with your father, Van. I'll be along in a few minutes.
Let's go.
It's not right.
Yes, that's it. Fight it, Clark. Fight it. Fight it.
[On Krypton; Kal-El is with his son Van-El on the roof of his father's lab, as Van looks through a telescope]
Dad! [The ground shakes] Dad? You've gotta look at thi-- [Sees Kal-El's troubled expression] What's-- What's the matter? Why are you--
Van, when you were born, it was the happiest day of my life. When I first saw your beautiful little face, your tiny fingers squeezed my hands so tight, like you never wanted to let go. I've watched every step, every struggle... I've... but, Van...[eyes begin to water] Oh, Rao, help me. But I don't think you're real. I don't think any of this is real.
Don't say that, Daddy. Please, you're scaring me... [hugs his father]
No, no, I don't wanna scare you, Van. You are everything I ever wanted in a son. This... this is everything I ever wanted in a life. But I've got responsibilities, Van. And... I... have to... go now.
[Hugs his son as Krypton begins to tear itself apart, and kisses him on the forehead]
[Tearful] Daddy...
I promise you... I'll never forget.
[Krypton explodes]
Yes!
