This is who she is now.

No one in the history

of Krypton

has ever been able to withstand

Somatic Reconditioning.

Are you back inside my mind?

Very little of me remains

within you, but enough...

When did you

get good at this?

To save you.

I need you to find the Codex

and then bring it to me.

You know my terms.

Complete surrender.

That's it?

That's your offer?

General Zod,

you have one hour to begin

withdrawing from Wegthor.

If you refuse, Lyta dies.

If you go through with this,

you do it alone.

I was afraid you'd say that.

What are you doing?

Whatever it takes.

I'm picking up

lots of warm bodies

behind there.

Zod claimed he

was retreating, but instead,

he amassed his forces

underground,

waiting to ambush us the moment

we returned Lyta-Zod.

You have betrayed us...

No.

And for that,

you must be punished.

Jax, don't do it!

Apologies, General,

but I have urgent news.

Scouts in the Outlands have

pinpointed Doomsday's location.

Headed toward

an ice cave system,

south of Kandor.

Have we regained control

of our public broadcast

systems?

I believe the rebels still

have control of it, sir.

You mean to tell me that

all those people down there

are still watching replays

of my mother's execution?

I, um, don't know, sir.

It's possible, sir.

I--really, I don't know.

Then perhaps

you should find out.

I know that what I did

was unexpected,

but believe me,

it was for the best.

We have the advantage now.

General Zod has relocated

all Sagitari units

to the mines,

so for now, they are cut off

from all supplies,

with no hope of reinforcements.

Now,

we can make that permanent,

once we take control

of the Space Elevator.

Araame,

put a strike team together

to round up

the Sagitari in the mines.

Then we need to do recon

on the base station,

see if there are

any Sagitari there.

Stop!

Do you realize

what you've just done?

I did what I had to do.

He gave me no choice.

We've been negotiating

an end to the war.

You've cost us

any chance of peace.

Zod failed to uphold

his side of the bargain

by not removing

the Sagitari as agreed.

This was never a negotiation.

This was another one

of Zod's traps,

which we evaded

because of my decision.

But that act of barbarism--

it goes against everything

we stand for.

And you had it broadcast live

to all of Krypton.

Because of what I did,

the people saw not only

his duplicity,

but his weakness.

They saw someone who couldn't

and wouldn't

save his own mother,

while in us

they saw determination.

Hmm?

An unwavering

commitment to the cause,

because this is war.

Do you want to win or not?

Of course,

but this is not the way,

Even if I could

put the moral issues aside...

you made

a grave tactical error.

We're not terrorists.

We're freedom fighters!

Oh, people don't give a shit

what we call ourselves,

and whatever they think now,

they will thank us later

when we win.

We won't win

without the people!

We need them!

We need them for shelter,

supplies, financing,

intelligence, recruits.

We are meant to be offering

them social reform,

freedom from repression, hope.

Hope.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

What you showed them

was another tyrant

as morally corrupt as the one

she is seeking to replace,

and someone I am no longer

willing to support.

So if this is your rebellion...

I want no further part in it.

All of you are here

because you chose to stand

against this kind

of brutal tyranny.

That's right.

You now have

another choice to make.

I'm with Val.

I'm with Val!

Yes?

I've done what you asked.

Codex?

On its way to Kandor

with me.

Did you hear me?

I'm coming to get my son back.

The Codex in exchange for Cor.

That was the deal.

It was, but circumstances

have changed.

You give me back my son,

or I'll destroy the Codex,

right now.

You would doom

our entire species...

to extinction?

I will do whatever it takes

to protect my family.

Bring me the device.

I will honor the deal.

You have my word.

Your word?

Forgive me if I'm--

Rest up for now.

I'll keep listening in

to the Sagitari comm signals

to figure out

the best way off Kandor.

And then what?

I guess we head back

to the outpost.

Figure it out from there.

What about you?

You gonna come with us?

You were up there

for a while, right?

On Wegthor.

Tell me how something

like this can happen.

Why don't you ask

your grandfather?

My grandfather

would have tried

everything he could

to stop it.

It wasn't enough, was it?

All I can tell you is Lyta

wouldn't want

the three of us

arguing about this.

You're wrong.

None of us would know

what Lyta wants.

'Cause Zod reconditioned her,

changed who she was,

her beliefs.

her memories.

Everything.

That can't be true.

He wouldn't do that to her.

I saw it!

Look at me!

I saw it!

I was there!

I saw the Somatic

Reconditioning center.

I saw exactly

what they did to her!

And I think I know

exactly when it happened.

I just didn't realize it

at the time.

I should have known.

I failed her.

Dev.

Talk to us.

What did you see?

When you were away...

everyone thought you were dead.

It's what General Zod

told everyone.

Lyta was devastated,

of course,

and I was there for her.

To support her.

But over time we grew closer,

closer than

we've ever been before,

but then Lyta changed.

I just put it down

to Zod's influence.

He was growing stronger

politically

and gaining power by the day.

I remember the first moment

I knew

Lyta was in love with you.

I thought it would pass.

What hope could there be

for a disgraced Rankless

and the daughter of the Primus?

But it didn't pass.

Not until you were gone.

Dev.

So when I saw

that same blind devotion...

for Dru-Zod this time...

I gave up on her.

I should have known.

I should have done something.

Instead, I...

Instead, I gave up on her.

I mourned the old Lyta

even before she died.

So much grief

over a single life.

You're expending

an inordinate amount of emotion

over a solitary being,

considering death is inevitable

for all your species.

A compromised capacity

for rational thinking

is the direct corollary

of this indulgence.

You can't possibly want

to feel this way.

No.

You must learn

to divest yourself

of such emotion if you--

Stop!

Stop blaming yourself.

Lyta's death,

her reconditioning.

None of that is your fault.

We need to move on.

Need to push forward.

Dev.

What is it?

I'm hearing comm chatter.

Nyssa-Vex.

She's en route from Wegthor,

arriving on planet imminently.

General Zod sent

a Sagitari squad

to the Base Station

to retrieve

an important package from her.

And Nyssa?

What about Nyssa?

She's been deemed

"Surplus to Requirements."

Put them in a secure cell.

You think that he saw?

Seg?

I think

the whole of Krypton saw.

Of one thing I'm certain

going forward.

There will be no secrets.

I promise.

I'm not going to pretend to be

the same kind of leader

that Jax was.

The truth is,

she's irreplaceable.

I don't have her tactical mind,

I don't have her experience...

but I have a belief that what

we are doing

is right and just,

and because of that,

I know that we can win this.

We have to.

Yes!

Dru, I am truly so very sorry

for what happened to Lyta.

Deliver Jax-Ur

to me immediately,

or everyone on that moon--

civilian, rebel,

or otherwise--will die.

You can't be serious.

There are countless

innocent civilians on Wegthor.

By executing Lyta,

you silenced the only voice

that can stay my hand.

You and I disagree

on a great many things,

but I know you believe

what you're doing

is for the good

of our people.

I respect the value you place

on Kryptonian life.

I do not require

your respect, Val-El,

just your obedience.

Jax-Ur has been removed

from her position of leadership

and is now in custody.

She will answer

for what she has done.

Perhaps you doubt

that I possess

the capability for such

large scale destruction.

That would be

an unwise assumption.

No.

I don't doubt it.

Good.

I expect confirmation

that Jax-Ur

is on her way to Kandor

within the hour.

Just so we're

absolutely clear,

you definitely have it

on you, yes?

Just saying, you could make

things a whole lot easier--

Nobody touches the Codex

till I see my son.

I'd hate to get you in front

of the general only to discover

that you hadn't been honest

with us, that's all.

That would not be good,

would it, Sagitari?

Sir, not good at all.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

This way.

Well, come on, then.

I thought you were in a hurry.

Sagitari.

Assuming she really does

have it,

where do you suppose

she has it tucked away

right now?

Hmm?

Inside jacket pocket, maybe?

Yes, sir, I think that's

a very likely place for it.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh.

Ahh!

I suppose you were half right

about the inside jacket pocket.

Stop!

Shit!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy.

It's me.

Yeah.

I can't believe it.

I don't understand.

What are you doing here?

Lyta's death did precisely

what Jax expected:

provoked an emotional response

from Zod.

But instead of...

being careless

and acting mistakenly,

it stoked his desire

for revenge.

So we've been given

two options:

turn Jax over or deny Zod,

and have him ravage everything

and everyone on Wegthor.

Then please, just...

Just turn her over.

And stop the killing.

Look, I have seen

more than I care to.

I've done more than I care to,

and it has to stop.

Do you really think that Zod

is just gonna stop the killing

once he gets Jax?

I don't know.

Okay, listen.

I know this asshole.

He is not gonna stop

until he kills

every last one of us,

one way or another.

Of that, there is no doubt,

which is why I feel

we have no choice

but to turn Jax-Ur over to Zod.

Mm-hmm.

We need to buy ourselves

some time,

stop him

from retaliating immediately.

You're making

the right decision.

We don't want to stick

around here too long.

The Sagitari failed to deliver

their package.

Zod's gonna send more.

Their package?

They were never gonna take me

to Zod, were they?

What do you have

that he wants so badly?

Nyssa?

Nyssa.

What is it?

I agreed to trade the Codex

to Zod in exchange for Cor.

That was the deal.

Before you say anything,

let me explain.

Val put a failsafe

in the Codex.

If anyone tries

to weaponize it,

the Codex

will automatically shut down.

Your grandfather knew

why I needed it.

He did it to help us

so our son could be safe.

Dru would never

have let you go,

and once he'd found out

you'd corrupted the Codex,

he would have killed you

without hesitation.

I'm sure you're right.

But that's not

going to stop me,

because if there is even

the slightest chance

that it could work,

I have to try...

for Cor,

like you would have for Lyta.

Then we have to find

some other way

to get your son back.

We can't let you walk

into House Zod alone.

That is exactly

what we're going to do.

Dev's right.

Dru will quickly find out

the Sagitari

sent to collect you are dead.

He'll be thinking

you're on the run.

The last thing

they'll be expecting

is for you to turn up there.

Because it would be

suicide, Seg.

You're not

thinking clearly.

Do not patronize me.

I just watched the woman I love

die in front of my eyes,

like I watched my parents die,

and there was nothing

I could do to save them,

but I promise you,

there is nothing I would not do

to keep my son safe.

Do you trust me?

Of course I do.

Then trust that I refuse

to let any more harm

come to the people I love.

I know.

We should get moving.

We'll go over the details

on the way.

General,

we weren't expecting you.

I need a progress report

on this weapon.

Of course.

Our team has made

significant strides

since we last spoke,

and the results are promising,

if not yet conclusive.

Am I to be encouraged

by that non-answer?

Apologies, General.

Let me be more specific.

The hardware components

are complete,

fitted with both long-

and short-range firing options.

The warhead housing the payload

is a high-density projectile,

with Stellarium-powered

delivery system,

allowing

for unprecedented impact depth.

Simply put, General,

this weapon could pierce

an underground bunker

cased entirely

in high-grade Promethium--

theoretically.

We'll know soon enough.

The Codex is on its way.

You will have it imminently.

The Codex

will finally allow us

to put this theory

into practice.

Good.

I need this weapon

fully operational

within an hour of its arrival.

An hour?

I trust

that won't be a problem?

No, General,

that won't be a problem at all.

I hadn't thought myself

capable of being surprised,

let alone betrayed.

Twice.

Val-El takes advantage

of your history together.

He still treats you

like a pupil.

Now the bastard's taken

your bionic eye.

Val-El is the most brilliant

man I've ever known.

He just didn't live

under the oppression

of the Voice of Rao,

or Daron-Vex...

like you and I did.

I didn't start Black Zero

because I wanted to.

I did it because I had to,

and I see the Resistance

and everything I've done

in its name

in exactly the same way.

I do what needs

to be done,

however ugly,

not because I enjoy it,

because no one else will.

If that means people see me

as a monster, then so be it.

It never stopped me before,

and it won't stop me now.

Me neither.

But by killing Lyta...

Haven't we backed ourselves

into a corner?

I've got myself

out of corners before.

Well, don't just stand there.

Keep an eye out.

Mine's busy.

A former lawmaker

killed two highly skilled,

expertly trained Sagitari?

Nyssa-Vex is to be presented

here to me--

That won't be necessary.

Leave.

Now.

Where's my son?

Safe.

You may see him yourself...

once you hand over the Codex.

Cor first.

You think

you're in a position

to issue demands here?

Yes, I do.

The Codex has been locked

and programmed

to respond

to my voice only.

Any other attempt

to operate the Codex

will cause instant destruction.

You...

continue to surprise.

Because you continue

to underestimate.

Indeed.

By returning here

with the Codex,

you have completed

a difficult assignment,

despite significant odds,

and in doing so you have done

something very few have done.

You've impressed me.

I'm not proud

of what I've done,

but I did what I had to.

Precisely.

Which is why I have

a proposal for you.

Work with me, Nyssa.

The rebellion is on its knees.

It will soon come to an end--

even sooner with your help--

and in the aftermath,

there would be

many great opportunities

for someone

with your capabilities.

Governor of one of Krypton's

colonies, perhaps.

Krypton has no colonies.

Not yet, but as we both know,

that is just a matter of time.

Cor.

I've been patient enough.

Unlock the Codex.

Remove your hand.

You don't want that lock

detecting stress

in my vocal patterns, do you?

And your guards.

I find their presence

stressful, too.

Access authorization code.

Erkol, Urrikka,

Xan, Zenium.

I will need to verify this

for authenticity,

but it appears...

you have impressed me again.

Once that's been verified,

how can I really trust

that you'll allow me to leave?

If we are to work together,

as I propose,

you must learn to trust me.

A leap of faith?

Yes, I suppose.

I figured as much.

Guards!

Give me that.

Looks like Jax turned

her sub-dermal comm device

into some kind of weapon.

Yeah, I got that.

I meant

"where do you think she went?"

Sorry, Val.

More bad news.

There's a whole bunch

of gravity bombs missing

from the munitions depot.

She probably rigged them

to cover her escape,

and laid a minefield

for anyone trying to follow.

No, she has something else

in mind,

and I know exactly

where she's headed.

Get your weapons.

I mean,

what's a day on the moon

without being shot at?

Oh...

No Sagitari skimmers

on the radar, yet.

We might be deep enough

in the Outlands by now

to have lost them.

Your assessment

is correct, Seg-El.

However, I'm afraid pursuit

is not the concern

that requires

your immediate focus.

Something's wrong.

What do you mean?

I don't know how much--

Zod's plasma blast damaged

the operating system

of this vessel.

It will lose power

in precisely 17 seconds,

resulting in a fatal crash.

Seg, what's happening?

A blaster fried the system.

What?

There's nothing I can do.

Well, of course there is.

With my assistance.

Seg!

Hold Cor tight

and brace yourself.

What?

Nyssa, please!

Do it now!

We need

to manually redirect power

from the

emergency life support systems.

Like so.

It's okay.

I thought we were--

Everything's okay now.

I swear.

One hour.

You made it.

Barely, but we're here.

Let's get you all inside

and warmed up.

Since I've been back,

I've spent a little bit of time

with Jax and... well,

I'm just gonna say it:

she likes me.

Like, really likes me.

So I think I could probably

talk her around.

I'm sure she does not

really like you.

I'm afraid the Jax-Ur

that could be reasoned with

just doesn't exist anymore.

Oh, Shh-shh!

No!

Val?

I didn't want it

to come to this.

Neither did I.

I've tried so hard to keep you

from making the tough choices.

I never wanted you

to have blood on your hands.

Then please.

Zod has given us

an ultimatum.

He demands we hand you over,

or everyone on the moon dies.

You wanted to provoke him.

You've achieved your goal.

Of course.

Because

your unyielding morality means

you've never had to make

any of the tough choices.

It's always been on me,

even though

you've benefitted from them.

No more.

Activate this,

and the gravity bombs

we've laid will destroy

the Space Elevator

Base Station,

cutting off Zod's forces

from fresh supplies

and reinforcements.

No, no, no, no.

You said that we were going

to take control

of the Space Elevator,

not destroy it!

Control it for how long?

Have you found

those missing Sagitari yet?

Hmm?

How long before they try

to regain control of it?

We don't have the numbers

to defend our base

and hold the Base Station.

Val, please.

Hundreds of innocent civilians

that work that station--

that don't believe

in Zod's war--they will die.

Please!

So what's it going to be,

my friend?

Are you prepared to sacrifice

the lives of a few

to save the entire planet?

You know that Lyta and I...

we never really saw eye to eye.

But I respected

your daughter,

and if I had any idea

that Jax was planning on doing

what she did...

I would have found

a way to stop it.

I swear.

You feel guilty.

We all do.

Maybe we all failed Lyta.

Or...

maybe she could never

have been saved.

We'll never know,

but we can

make her death count.

We have to.

If Val hasn't already, then

we can bring Jax to justice.

She will answer

for Lyta's death.

But right now, we need to focus

on stopping Dru-Zod.

We cannot let him

spread more misery

and destruction

across the universe.

I say tonight

we rest, for tomorrow...

we make Dru-Zod pay.

And what about...

the next day?

And the day after that?

Whatever we do...

won't bring Lyta back.

I trust this call means

Jax-Ur is on her way.

Because of

your sound judgment,

I will show mercy.

Of course,

I cannot allow your comrades

to escape punishment,

but you, Val-El, will have

the honor of returning

to the Science Guild

and working for me.

There is nothing

more dangerous

than a delusional dictator,

and you must be living

inside a fantasy

if you believe

I will ever support

your foul vision.

Choose your next words

carefully, old man.

There are no more words.

What is that?

What now?

We wouldn't be here today

if it wasn't for you.

All of Krypton owes you

a debt of gratitude,

but you can't be a part

of this rebellion,

not anymore.

So go, Jax.

Disappear,

and perhaps you may just

find yourself again one day.

Tell me it's ready.

We can really only

regard this as a prototype.

Just give it to me.

Hmm...

General, there's something

you need to know.

The Codex was corrupted.

Some kind of failsafe

was installed to protect it

from being weaponized

in the most, shall we say,

obvious or expected manner.

Mm.

Val-El, no doubt.

How does that impact

our intended use?

We believe we managed

to retrieve

the genetic information

we needed,

but there's no way

to be certain without tests.

Then I will test it

in the field.

Where do we go

from here, Dev?

I don't know.

But wherever we go,

we go together.

Tears.

I'd say of frustration,

not sadness.

Fear of the fight

that lies ahead.

Very rational, actually.

It demonstrates

a marked improvement

in your capacity

for critical thinking.

Perhaps aware now

that you cannot defeat

your son,

the finest military mind

Krypton has ever known.

You're wrong.

We will defeat him.

We have to.

You will not.

And though you attempt

to suppress this knowledge,

you increasingly understand

this to be the truth.

Yes.

Unless...

Unless you help me?

Precisely.

Take me to my ship,

my quantum consciousness,

and I will imbue you

with the power

to defeat General Zod.

And then what?

And then what?

You just leave Krypton

for good, Brainiac?

It's lies.

It's all lies.

You're trying to manipulate me.

I give you my word.

We need to leave.

Now.

What about Jayna and Dev?

It's best they don't know.

What's going on with you?

It has to do with what happened

in the skimmer.

The reason I was able to solve

that problem...

It's because of Brainiac.

He's alive...

in me.

I can't tell you

more than that right now,

but I need you

to help me end this.

You're the only one

that I can trust.

I meant what I said.

I will never, ever let

anything happen to you or Cor.
