1 00:02:20,343 --> 00:02:23,972 People, we are in a war. The stakes are high. 2 00:02:24,148 --> 00:02:29,074 If we lose, that asteroid will hit Metropolis in a matter of hours. 3 00:02:29,257 --> 00:02:32,598 Ten million lives will be wiped out instantly. 4 00:02:32,782 --> 00:02:35,064 And they'll be the fortunate ones. 5 00:02:35,249 --> 00:02:39,045 It's up to us to destroy it as we would any other enemy... 6 00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:41,237 utterly and completely. 7 00:02:41,415 --> 00:02:43,733 - Any questions? - No, sir. 8 00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:47,294 Still think we need the alien? 9 00:02:50,506 --> 00:02:54,339 I'd feel a lot better. Can't understand how he missed liftoff. 10 00:02:54,523 --> 00:03:00,760 It's no loss. The last thing this mission needs is your friend's grandstanding. 11 00:03:03,827 --> 00:03:06,361 Sorry I'm late. Earthquake in Albania. 12 00:03:08,478 --> 00:03:12,731 We're just glad you could make it. I'll get you the explosives. 13 00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:16,686 We'll keep your team on standby. 14 00:03:28,176 --> 00:03:30,494 There, that was easy enough. 15 00:03:33,356 --> 00:03:35,074 I'm moving to the other side. 16 00:03:35,259 --> 00:03:38,178 Just get the job done, hero. 17 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,329 And no showboating. 18 00:03:44,033 --> 00:03:46,279 What do you have against him, Hardcastle? 19 00:03:46,465 --> 00:03:50,226 He's an alien. He has no allegiance, no jurisdiction. 20 00:03:50,552 --> 00:03:53,051 I don't trust what I can't control. 21 00:03:53,231 --> 00:03:55,513 And I don't like what I can't trust. 22 00:03:55,698 --> 00:03:58,509 Emil, you'd better get over here. 23 00:03:59,503 --> 00:04:00,800 What's the problem? 24 00:04:06,093 --> 00:04:08,724 You have to see this for yourself. 25 00:04:25,404 --> 00:04:26,700 My heavens. 26 00:04:41,084 --> 00:04:44,953 There's no doubt about it. The creature is warmer than the asteroid. 27 00:04:45,137 --> 00:04:47,419 And listen to this. 28 00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:53,656 - Heartbeats? - That's my guess. 29 00:04:53,841 --> 00:04:56,581 There's also a transmitter within the rock. 30 00:04:56,801 --> 00:05:00,178 It's broadcasting some kind of binary code. 31 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,409 - I'll need time to decipher it. - You'll have all the time you want... 32 00:05:04,589 --> 00:05:05,959 after the demolition. 33 00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:08,915 Are you crazy? That's a living thing out there. 34 00:05:09,098 --> 00:05:13,387 A living alien, and it would die when it hits the Earth's atmosphere, anyway. 35 00:05:13,574 --> 00:05:17,827 - In good conscience, you can't— - Jeopardize the lives of millions? 36 00:05:18,014 --> 00:05:19,840 You're absolutely right. 37 00:05:20,023 --> 00:05:22,233 Gentlemen, there may be another way. 38 00:05:22,419 --> 00:05:25,831 I might be able to push the asteroid into Earth's orbit. 39 00:05:26,577 --> 00:05:31,118 Yes, even if it was a decaying orbit, it would buy us some time. 40 00:05:31,299 --> 00:05:35,348 That's not my mission. I'm under orders to destroy that thing. 41 00:05:35,527 --> 00:05:39,744 Superman, if you can alter the trajectory by five degrees... 42 00:06:05,234 --> 00:06:08,886 That's it, three degrees. 43 00:06:09,075 --> 00:06:10,481 Three point two. 44 00:06:25,178 --> 00:06:28,446 - What is it? - The creature's body temperature is rising. 45 00:06:36,736 --> 00:06:39,932 Superman, it's coming to life. 46 00:07:17,084 --> 00:07:19,824 - What are you doing? - Detonating the charges. 47 00:07:20,010 --> 00:07:24,443 - But Superman's out there. - Wasn't his party to begin with. 48 00:08:27,597 --> 00:08:29,807 Emil, it's falling toward Metropolis. 49 00:08:29,993 --> 00:08:33,057 I'm gonna try to divert it toward the ocean. 50 00:09:28,629 --> 00:09:30,768 Oh, look, a shooting star. 51 00:09:45,931 --> 00:09:48,034 Sonic boom? Earthquake? 52 00:09:48,222 --> 00:09:50,504 Maybe Perry had chili for lunch again. 53 00:09:55,481 --> 00:09:56,850 Oh, my God. 54 00:10:49,501 --> 00:10:54,115 I'm at 2400 fathoms, professor, about 100 miles northwest of Metropolis. 55 00:10:54,294 --> 00:10:57,248 - How's it going with that code? - We're working on it. 56 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:58,872 Any sign of the creature? 57 00:10:59,051 --> 00:11:03,977 Well, as a matter of fact, there is. And it looks like he's headed toward land. 58 00:11:07,685 --> 00:11:10,640 This can't be right. It's too big to be another sub... 59 00:11:10,820 --> 00:11:14,653 or even a pod of whales. Gotta be a misread. 60 00:11:18,961 --> 00:11:20,474 Evasive maneuvers, now. 61 00:11:20,653 --> 00:11:22,226 We're dead in the water. 62 00:11:25,586 --> 00:11:27,688 - Reactor room, full power. - Aye, aye. 63 00:11:32,245 --> 00:11:34,215 All right now, full speed ahead. 64 00:11:40,386 --> 00:11:42,319 - Nothing. - Keep trying. 65 00:11:53,882 --> 00:11:56,837 Captain, the reactor's cooling. We're losing power. 66 00:12:32,397 --> 00:12:33,658 It's holding. 67 00:12:37,014 --> 00:12:39,825 Superman, we need you back at STAR Labs. 68 00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:44,514 - I'm kind of busy right now. What's up? - We've cracked the code. 69 00:12:47,057 --> 00:12:51,178 The code was simpler than it seemed. They wanted others to translate it. 70 00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:54,696 - They? - The aliens who created that thing. 71 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:56,670 It's a synthetic being. 72 00:12:58,826 --> 00:13:02,202 It was built for strength and given minimal intelligence. 73 00:13:02,385 --> 00:13:05,052 They wanted to use it for heavy labor. 74 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,450 Obviously something went wrong. 75 00:13:07,636 --> 00:13:11,540 Very. Its fuel was supposed to be the heat from their suns. 76 00:13:11,723 --> 00:13:15,099 But that was hardly enough for the creature. 77 00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:20,321 Soon it began to absorb heat from everything. 78 00:13:20,498 --> 00:13:23,238 And the more it absorbed, the stronger it got. 79 00:13:23,423 --> 00:13:26,450 No wonder it didn't burn when it fell through the atmosphere. 80 00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:29,332 - The heat just made it stronger. - Exactly. 81 00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:33,244 - How do we stop it? - You know those cold packs in first-aid kits? 82 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:39,173 They work on the principle of mixing two chemicals that create instant cold. Watch. 83 00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:46,210 - Will they work with seawater? - We're too late. 84 00:13:46,398 --> 00:13:48,152 The creature's come ashore. 85 00:14:14,977 --> 00:14:18,497 Continue firing at will. We've got him on the ropes, boys. 86 00:14:18,676 --> 00:14:20,755 Hasn't moved since we engaged him. 87 00:14:20,931 --> 00:14:23,394 It hasn't moved because it hasn't wanted to. 88 00:14:23,575 --> 00:14:25,821 It soaks up the heat from the explosions. 89 00:14:26,006 --> 00:14:29,694 - Ready the NX missiles. - Didn't you hear me? You're feeding it. 90 00:14:30,622 --> 00:14:35,055 Alien, I listened to you and that crackpot Hamilton once before... 91 00:14:35,238 --> 00:14:40,272 and look where that got me. This time, we're doing it my way. Fire! 92 00:14:48,206 --> 00:14:51,858 NX gel, 10 times hotter than napalm. 93 00:14:52,047 --> 00:14:55,075 We're gonna have us a down-home barbecue. 94 00:15:16,890 --> 00:15:19,497 Better hold off on the marshmallows. 95 00:16:38,961 --> 00:16:42,829 Hold your fire. I repeat, hold your fire. 96 00:17:05,284 --> 00:17:10,390 Yes, I can get the chemicals to the reservoir, but how do we get the creature there? 97 00:17:10,570 --> 00:17:13,729 I'll find a way. But in the meantime, I need something. 98 00:17:13,916 --> 00:17:16,379 I'll see what I can do. 99 00:19:04,354 --> 00:19:06,565 Thank you, Hamilton. 100 00:20:03,378 --> 00:20:06,190 That's it, Superman. You're almost there. 101 00:20:28,468 --> 00:20:30,113 No! 102 00:21:30,276 --> 00:21:31,849 Now!
