General Zod, Seg-El and others in “Unfinished Business”

We will need your grandfather's unsurpassed intellect. I believe Val-El is our last, best hope.

Seg-El

You left my grandfather stranded in that place with no way out, but now that we need him, you suddenly have a way to free him.

If you hadn't kept this place a secret from me, I couldn't have done it anytime, if there had been a need. [to Val] I assume you can activate it.

Lyta-Zod

So what's the catch?

Someone has to go in and get him.

Seg-El

I'll go.

You would get lost in there forever. I know my way around and I'll find him.

Nyssa-Vex

Or now that you've failed to stop Brainiac, this is your means of escape.

No one's ever been in there would consider going back an escape.
