Krypton

Every moment of your life is a test,

one that reveals who you are.

And if you truly are worthy of the name Zod,

you will follow in the footsteps of those

who have come before you.

Or you will die trying.

If you didn't know Brainiac had corrupted

the Voice of Rao, then why even attempt a coup?

Because Daron-Vex offered to spare your life

in exchange for my help.

- Stop! - And I would do it again.

Hello, Father.

I came to tell you...

that I forgive you

for what you tried to do to me.

Black Zero is in.

They want something in return.

There he is. My old friend, Daron-Vex.

We have a lot of catching up to do.

Ona!

What's wrong?

Through fire, we are reborn.

I learned of a pre-cataclysm instrument

of violence so powerful

it would give even Brainiac pause.

That thing in there,

they told me it's called Doomsday.

If you let that thing loose

it will kill everything that it comes across.

It's true.

That's why we have given over our lives

to protecting the universe from Doomsday.

What does this alien want?

To rip this city right from the ground

and add it to his collection.

You didn't really think

the Voice of Rao was a god, did you?

Why kill the chancellor? And the others?

All I can say is there's going to be

a lot more bodies if we don't find him.

Look...

I can't risk being up here any longer.

Just have you Sagitari...

You mean what's left of the Sagitari?

They're already spread too thin.

The remains of the Council are either dead or in hiding.

The Primus has turned traitor.

Black Zero is openly walking the streets.

I can't help you.

Does anyone know what's happening?

Back. Back!

How come they haven't addressed the people yet?

- Every one... - Move! Now!

Do us a favor and go back inside.

- It's not safe out here. - Go on! Move!

Back off!

You, come here!

Was this Black Zero?

No!...

We've to close down...

Whoa.

It's chaos out there.

I know. And it's getting worse.

Pretty soon people are going to figure out

that no one's in charge.

Then the whole city is going to descend into panicky.

Making it even harder to find the Voice.

Three days of searching and nothing.

Nyssa said they found a trail of mangled bodies

leading out of the Tower of Justice.

She's there now. She's trying to find out more.

Brave of her.

We need to find him, Lyta. We need to find him

and stop him from bringing Brainiac here.

We will.

And we'll make him pay for what he's done.

How's Dev?

I-I managed to get him in a med bay.

He's recovering.

Itching to get back in the fight.

Good.

We're going to need him.

And a whole lot more just like him.

Seg...

I know losing Ona was hard for Kem,

but sending him to Kryptonopolis...

Was that to help him or to help you?

I'm worried you're starting to think

this fight we're in, that maybe we can't win it.

Is that what you think?

Everything that Adam said...

about my grandson, about the Els,

about who we are...

who we're meant to be.

He believed that I could save the universe.

I couldn't even save him.

I've lost too many people already, Lyta.

I can't lose anyone else.

You're not going to lose me.

*KRYPTON* Episode Title: "Hope"

Synchronized by srjanapala

You can't stop me.

I'm coming for you and your world.

That's a lot of hardware.

The Voice of Rao is wounded.

And like all wounded animals,

this is when they are most dangerous.

No one's seen him. He's in hiding.

It's not him we're going after.

The fall in the Genesis Chamber didn't kill the Voice.

The only way to fight something that cannot be killed

is with a weapon that is unkillable.

We're going to get Doomsday?

Look how far you've fallen, old friend.

The same could be said for you,

Sela-Sonn.

How does one transition...

from one of the most respected

and highly regarded members of the Science Guild,

protégé of the great Val-El, no less,

to leader of an insurgency

whose only currency is death and destruction?

It started with a betrayal.

From someone I trusted.

You think I didn't know?

That you'd covered your tracks so well

I wouldn't follow them back to you.

That's no excuse.

You dedicated your life to saving lives.

Not destroying them.

That was a long time ago.

And all my work trying to ease people's suffering

gave me keen insight into how to inflict it.

I have a lot of questions for you, Daron,

and I intend to get answers.

And my name is Jax-Ur now.

Lyta's disappeared.

So has Zod.

With far more firepower than one man can handle

and with one of Black Zero's skimmers.

They're going for Doomsday.

To think you were all expecting me

to screw you guys over.

I realize this wasn't easy for you.

Going against Seg.

And I understand why you admire his idealism.

But ideals are no good to the dead.

It was sheer luck that he survived

that blast in the tavern.

Get to the point.

It's up to us to save him and everyone else.

And the only way we can do that is by making the hard choices.

Even ones as extreme as unleashing Doomsday.

But how can we be sure?

You said Doomsday is a genetically engineered

killing machine that can't be controlled.

He functions like any apex predator.

Focusing on the most formidable opponent first.

That's Brainiac. Great.

And after that, he'll work his way

down the food chain.

That's us.

Before that happens,

we return him to stasis.

We're risking a lot on being able to pull that off.

That's Seg talking.

Don't think of this as a betrayal.

You and I, we're Zods.

Duty-bound to protect our people

by any means necessary.

Seg's an El.

He will never understand that.

But at least he'll be alive to forgive you.

So how are you planning on getting inside?

I'd like to know that, too.

'Cause all that firepower isn't going to get you in there.

You need a Zod and an El.

And I won't do it.

I don't need you to.

Lyta, you once asked

if I knew who my father was.

At the time, I didn't.

But I do now.

House of Zod...

House of El.

You're both. You're my son.

Where is it?

Seg, if you know something...

Doomsday is already far beyond your reach.

I've made sure of that.

You knew.

It was your mother who convinced me.

She knew that Zod would come for it.

I just never thought that you'd help him do it.

You couldn't have moved it far.

I will find it. You like to believe

you're a few steps ahead, General.

But it turns out I know these tunnels better than you do.

How else do you think we beat you here,
