S1 E15Unfinished Business
I hope it was worth it.
I tried talking to you.
I don't know why you're protecting Seg, but if you want to risk your life for him, so be it. But not even Rao will help you if you risk those of your squads. Lyta-Zod, I hereby appoint you Commander of Fourth Squad, Sagitari. You are obliged to bear true allegiance and faith to the Military Guild of Kandor City against all enemies, and to defend and support the Supreme Council in loyal service of His Reverence, the Voice of Rao. May Rao's grace be your shield. It only gets harder from here.
[holding Superman's cape] Does this really belong to my grandson?
Yeah.
Then why isn't he here? Why you?
Uh, he sent me in his place. Kind of a big deal where I'm from. Lot of reasons, but mainly because I can teleport across light-years using a little something called a Zeta Beam. I know. It's a cool name, huh? Came up with it myself. Only problem is, uh, one passenger per ride, me, and... it's a little temperamental. You don't believe me. How do you think I got to this fortress? Do you... You think that I power-walked across the ice to get here? Everythng that I am telling you is true. Trust me.
Even if I did, it wouldn't make a difference. Can't help you.
Seg, wait up.
I can't. I'm in a hurry.
Well, I'm sure I can keep up. Nice to see you walking amongst the Guilded. Didn't even have to send a Sagitari to retrieve you. Some would call that progress. One of these days, we'll work up to a family dinner.
I'd like that.
Hm, I really need to teach you how to lie, Seg.
I'm better with the truth. It means a lot what you did for me, Nyssa. Allowing me the chance to give my parents an honorable burial.
What happened to her? Is she still alive?
Barely.
Seg, what's going on?
My grandfather was right. We're not alone in the universe. There's something out there. It found her, and it's coming for us.
Is she going to live?
It's difficult to say. Whatever Brainiac did, it appears to be keeping her alive. My concern is that, in trying to reverse it, we risk losing her.
Well, at least you stopped her before she got to a transmitter and uploaded whatever info she accessed.
I don't believe that was her intention.
What do you mean?
I believe she is the transmitter.
We gotta stop her before she sends a signal to Brainiac.
It's too late. It's already been sent.
Kryptonian, your world is doomed.
[At display panel] Mr. Strange, you should see this
Please, Mr. Strange was my Dad. And also what we called the kid in gym class who licked feet. Call me Doctor. No, better make it Adam.
So this is what you do. Just kill anyone you think is in your way.
No. I kill who I know is in my way. Our existence is at stake, and if you fail to understand that, then you're just another idealistic El without the stones to effect real change.
Another? You knew my grandfather?
My history with your family is complicated. But it doesn't have to be that way any longer. The choice is simple, Seg. You help me find that Sentry, and together we can protect the future of Krypton.
Well, that sounds good in theory. But I have no way knowing if you will keep you're gonna keep your word.
You're right. How can I prove that I am honorable?
Breaking a prisoner out of Fort Rozz would be a start.
Why do you want to save Lyta-Zod?
Because I love her. I love her. And I can't lose her.
Was that so hard?
Anda, you are to begin preparations for Nova Cycle celebration.
AAnda
Nova Cycle? But it's not for weeks.
SSevi
It is Rao's will that His Reverence will begin the Nova Cycle today.
The military's failed initiative created much unrest. The fate of the Rankless has been shaken. The Nova Cycle celebrations will begin today.
AAnda
I'll start preparing immediately.
We shall walk amongst the Rankless and show them how the light of Rao can heal all wounds.
I will only say this once. Stay away from Lyta.
You'll what? You're gonna add another El to your kill list? Or may you just arrest like you did your own daughter?
I had nothing to do with this.
I suppose you could do nothing to stop it, either!
She's charged with treason, you shit! By the Voice of Rao himself. Lyta's fate is out of my control.
What's gonna happen to her?
She'll be executed, just like your grandfather was.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
I believe you are the reason this it is happening. So don't come back here.
Today we will spread the word of Rao. Today Kandor will be reborn.
Ona, this - is Mama Zed. Mama Zed raised your Uncle Kem.
He's not real my uncle. I just call him that.
MZMama Zed
Oh, that's all right. I'm not his mama. But I still think of him as family.
What was that thing? What did you do to me?
Nothing to cause permanent damage.
If you're gonna torture me, asshole, at least ask me some questions.
You endured a test, not torture.
Oh, a test. Good. Thanks for explaining. I feel so much less tortured now.
