He's been asking questions. Wondering why the last-minute pardon for a Black Zero bombmaker. Noting that the prisoner hasn't returned to his dwelling, or been seen in the city since his release.
What good does that do us when one of your officers is encouraging people to scrutinize the chain of events? He's from a prominent family. People might listen to him. Couldn't you have replaced him with one of our people?
I already slipped Dev in. If you want to attract suspicion, a good way to do it would be to shift assignments around just before an assassination. Most officers wouldn't have questioned the order. We were unlucky.
You need to silence him, quickly, before he draws attention. [seeing her expression] Well, it's too late to bring him on board now. And any attempt to scare him would only deepen his suspicion further. No, there is only one way to handle this.
I do not need to schooled on the danger here. The lives of every Sagitari I've recruited are in my hands, and they've put them there because they have faith in me. I'm committed, they're willing to back me. What are you committed to, except yourself? You've only ever been out for number one.
It means that everything has a purpose. That the purpose is good. That I'll see my mother again one day. It's faith that leads us to the Blessed Place.
A few of the worthy, the special ones, I take into myself. I take their memories, skills, dreams. Everything that makes them what they are. Their template lives forever in me.
This sorry bastard has traveled back through time to get here. I don't know how, but it's not hard to see why. He's obviously working with Braniac to destroy Krypton.
Of course not. History tells us this when that creature ripped Kandor City away from the planet and made it part of his collection. I'm here to prevent that tragedy.
It's elementary Kryptonian history. The beginning of the end for our civilization. Brainiac takes Kandor City, which destabilizes Krypton's core. Causing the planet to explode in 200 years.
You guys can't be seriously by giving this whackjob a weapon of mass destruction. Seg. I'm sorry. Really, I am. I know I should have told you before, but what was I supposed to say? Hey, man, let's go get a drink. By the way your world's gonna explode. Why even lay that burden on you?
All right. I didn't tell because it was hard. It's not a conversation anyone wants to have. Look, I don't, I don't know. Maybe Zod's lying. Maybe... Maybe I was wrong. All I knew that Superman's enemy was going back to change the timeline, which means your grandson would never be born.
Because, if the warning I received wasn't about Brainiac it must've been about Zod. And if we're to preserve the timeline, then we have to step back and let... Let Brainiac take Kandor.
That thing in there, they told me it's called Doomsday. Okay, I know that name. It's a soulless killing machine that can't be destroyed. Or controlled. Seg, if you let that thing loose, it will kill everything that it comes across.
It's true. That's why we've given our lives to protecting the universe from Doomsday.

My people were here when they weapon arrived. The Els and the Zods, they thought that together, they were creating something great. But we've seen it. We understand the unending cloud of hatred they birthed.
I know who he is. In my time, we all know who he is. [keeping his weapon trained on Zod as he stands up] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. General Zod. This son of a bitch is Superman's greatest enemy. So trust me on this, we need to kill him now.
You said you're here to stop Brainac, that you've studied him. Let's hear the plan.

Firstly, you have to understand that Brainiac is virtually immortal. Existing for thousands of years. He possesses the intellectual plunder of countless advanced civilizations. He's far beyond us. And as history has proven, Krypton's current weapons are useless against him.
When Brainiac took Kandor, both our families made it out. They made their way to Kryptonopolis. In that city's ancient archives, I learned of the location of a hidden weapon. A pre-cataclysm instrument of violence so powerful, it would give even Brainiac pause.
