1
00:01:37,398 --> 00:01:38,932
City desk? This is Lois Lane.

2
00:01:39,112 --> 00:01:41,316
Hit the record button
and take all this down.

3
00:01:41,505 --> 00:01:43,539
I'm in Crestview Park
on the west side...

4
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,217
and this thing from outer space
has just landed.

5
00:01:52,687 --> 00:01:55,573
I don't know what it is,
but it doesn't look user-friendly.

6
00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:03,329
- You got plans this weekend, Clark?
- I'm playing tour guide for my folks.

7
00:02:03,511 --> 00:02:05,544
They're coming to town
for Father's Day.

8
00:02:05,724 --> 00:02:07,039
What's their ETA?

9
00:02:07,404 --> 00:02:09,901
Call the SCU.
Get them down here. Fast.

10
00:02:10,726 --> 00:02:13,259
Your mom and dad.
What time are they—?

11
00:02:15,155 --> 00:02:16,251
Clark?

12
00:03:41,852 --> 00:03:43,386
Lois, get back.

13
00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:22,073
He's ripping it apart.

14
00:04:22,254 --> 00:04:24,287
Transmit the destruct code.

15
00:04:24,468 --> 00:04:26,356
- Now.
- Yes, sire!

16
00:04:29,827 --> 00:04:33,322
- That doesn't look too encouraging.
- No, it doesn't.

17
00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:46,536
Superman.

18
00:04:46,723 --> 00:04:50,717
My scream machine is a success,
great Darkseid.

19
00:04:50,902 --> 00:04:52,253
Is it?

20
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,507
A success in gauging
Superman's strength.

21
00:04:55,688 --> 00:05:00,902
Using this data, I can now construct
the ultimate device to destroy him and—

22
00:05:01,083 --> 00:05:05,004
That was your ultimate device, Desaad.
You have failed me.

23
00:05:05,191 --> 00:05:08,578
Please, sire.
All my years of service to you.

24
00:05:08,763 --> 00:05:10,467
Send me back to Earth, Darkseid.

25
00:05:10,656 --> 00:05:14,931
Let me put lntergang back together.
I've learned a lot here on Apokolips.

26
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:19,221
No one gets the chance
to fail me twice, Mr. Manheim.

27
00:05:19,658 --> 00:05:23,299
Give me the opportunity
to prove myself, sire.

28
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,012
Let me destroy Superman for you.

29
00:05:27,873 --> 00:05:29,652
- No, Kalibak.
- But—

30
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,444
The destruction of Superman
is too important to my plans.

31
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:35,292
I cannot entrust it to you.

32
00:05:36,948 --> 00:05:39,481
As you wish, great Darkseid.

33
00:05:42,662 --> 00:05:46,085
How can he even
take that gorilla seriously?

34
00:05:46,271 --> 00:05:50,155
No one questions my judgment,
Mr. Manheim.

35
00:05:50,343 --> 00:05:52,803
Least of all you.

36
00:06:07,596 --> 00:06:09,728
To work.

37
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:25,839
Kalibak. You do not have to accept
your rejection.

38
00:06:26,208 --> 00:06:30,020
I can send you to Earth
to destroy Superman.

39
00:06:30,459 --> 00:06:33,601
And cover your failure, worm?

40
00:06:33,781 --> 00:06:37,312
Well, technically.
But if you were to succeed...

41
00:06:37,495 --> 00:06:39,127
Darkseid would honor you.

42
00:06:39,318 --> 00:06:43,239
- You would be his favorite.
- Yes.

43
00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:47,174
It is only right
that you claim all the glory...

44
00:06:47,355 --> 00:06:50,497
for this great deed.
Do not even mention that I suggested it.

45
00:06:55,393 --> 00:06:57,171
Are you certain?

46
00:06:57,608 --> 00:06:59,141
Trust me, Kalibak.

47
00:06:59,321 --> 00:07:03,707
Darkseid will finally
accept you as his son.

48
00:07:16,325 --> 00:07:19,139
Your father's thinking of buying
a computer for the farm.

49
00:07:19,683 --> 00:07:21,888
I am not. I don't need
some fancy gizmo...

50
00:07:22,076 --> 00:07:24,610
to tell me when the chickens
have to be fed.

51
00:07:25,327 --> 00:07:27,142
It's your mother who wants one.

52
00:07:27,328 --> 00:07:30,567
She's aching to surf the net,
whatever that means.

53
00:07:31,078 --> 00:07:35,682
When I finish a story, I press a button
and it goes straight to the editor's desk.

54
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:39,364
Heck. That could save you
five or six whole steps.

55
00:07:39,544 --> 00:07:42,687
Ah, but the editor can send it directly
to typography...

56
00:07:42,867 --> 00:07:46,642
seven flights down, and they can
send it to the press room, and—

57
00:07:46,832 --> 00:07:48,366
Okay, okay. I surrender.

58
00:07:48,546 --> 00:07:50,044
This is Lois Lane, folks.

59
00:07:50,226 --> 00:07:52,114
Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Kent.

60
00:07:52,298 --> 00:07:54,501
Please, Jonathan and Martha.

61
00:07:54,690 --> 00:07:56,822
We've heard so much
about you from Clark.

62
00:07:57,012 --> 00:08:00,399
- Really?
- We feel like you're practically family.

63
00:08:00,585 --> 00:08:01,935
Will you join us for lunch?

64
00:08:02,299 --> 00:08:06,038
Well, seeing as I'm practically family,
why not?

65
00:08:06,229 --> 00:08:09,468
Kent! My office. Now.

66
00:08:09,979 --> 00:08:11,549
On my way, chief.

67
00:08:11,729 --> 00:08:15,334
You all go ahead to the restaurant.
I'll meet you in a few minutes.

68
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:20,798
No hurry, Clark. I'm sure Lois and l
have a lot to talk about.

69
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:23,976
Your editor wasn't angry
with Clark, was he?

70
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,903
He certainly sounded upset.

71
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:30,730
No. The chief always sounds like that.
It's part of his charm.

72
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,227
My goodness.
This place looks expensive.

73
00:08:58,418 --> 00:09:00,915
- Clark shouldn't have—
- Oh, hush, Martha.

74
00:09:01,097 --> 00:09:02,801
Let the boy indulge us if he wants.

75
00:09:12,527 --> 00:09:16,023
Is it true Superman is often seen
in this part of the city?

76
00:09:17,672 --> 00:09:20,022
- Yes, sir.
- Good.

77
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:01,390
Hurry! Before the roof comes down.

78
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:05,173
Somebody should take that
bruiser down a peg.

79
00:10:14,362 --> 00:10:16,396
Jonathan!

80
00:10:19,579 --> 00:10:21,320
What was that?

81
00:10:30,044 --> 00:10:33,004
I can't see a thing,
but it sounded like a bomb to me.

82
00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:35,356
Kent. Get down there
and find out what—

83
00:10:45,226 --> 00:10:49,039
Superman.
Clark Kent's father... still inside.

84
00:10:49,227 --> 00:10:50,542
Are you two all right?

85
00:10:51,512 --> 00:10:54,118
Yes. Go save Jonathan.

86
00:10:55,336 --> 00:10:56,651
And be careful!

87
00:11:07,516 --> 00:11:09,830
Don't move. I'm coming.

88
00:11:10,017 --> 00:11:12,550
The only place you're going
is to the grave.

89
00:11:13,447 --> 00:11:15,760
Stop! There's an innocent man.

90
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,084
How naive you are.

91
00:11:18,269 --> 00:11:23,189
On Apokolips we are taught
even as children that no one is innocent.

92
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:34,333
You see, Superman, life breeds death.

93
00:11:34,522 --> 00:11:38,590
Anything that lives
must kill something to survive.

94
00:11:40,524 --> 00:11:43,800
And I am a survivor.

95
00:12:25,175 --> 00:12:26,490
Whoever you are—

96
00:12:26,890 --> 00:12:29,058
My name is Kalibak.

97
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:30,953
I'll settle with you in a moment.

98
00:13:01,112 --> 00:13:05,033
I seem to recall telling Kalibak
he was not to go to Earth.

99
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:08,423
I was just about to tell you, sire.
He has disobeyed you.

100
00:13:08,614 --> 00:13:12,961
I know not where
he comes by such foolish ideas.

101
00:13:13,328 --> 00:13:14,387
Oh?

102
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:18,286
He wishes to prove himself
worthy to be your...

103
00:13:18,651 --> 00:13:20,685
A technicality of his birth.

104
00:13:21,223 --> 00:13:25,498
As far as destiny and I are concerned,
I have no son.

105
00:13:47,836 --> 00:13:51,075
There are people on that train.

106
00:13:51,265 --> 00:13:52,654
Maybe hundreds of them.

107
00:13:53,301 --> 00:13:55,335
More of your innocents?

108
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,942
Clear out. Now.

109
00:14:45,597 --> 00:14:47,022
Not again—

110
00:15:33,143 --> 00:15:36,919
The destruction of Superman
is too important to my plans.

111
00:15:37,109 --> 00:15:38,569
I cannot entrust it to you.

112
00:15:38,751 --> 00:15:40,066
Entrust it to you.

113
00:15:40,252 --> 00:15:41,677
To you, to you.

114
00:15:54,255 --> 00:15:57,567
- Clark. Look out!
- Clark? Where—?

115
00:16:53,196 --> 00:16:56,582
Now, with your death,
I shall prove my worthiness...

116
00:16:56,768 --> 00:16:59,192
- ... to my father.
- Father?

117
00:17:40,742 --> 00:17:42,701
No!

118
00:18:00,782 --> 00:18:02,633
So is this my Father's Day present?

119
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:17,814
Honestly, Jonathan.
You've got more nerve than sense.

120
00:18:17,999 --> 00:18:20,203
He tried to stand up
to that big brute...

121
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:22,780
- ... all by himself.
- Speaking of whom...

122
00:18:26,109 --> 00:18:30,347
No matter how many times I see that,
I'll never get used to it.

123
00:18:30,537 --> 00:18:32,425
Me neither.

124
00:19:06,081 --> 00:19:09,003
Sire, I know I disobeyed you...

125
00:19:09,188 --> 00:19:11,892
but I thought
if I could destroy Superman...

126
00:19:12,511 --> 00:19:17,541
- And did you?
- I underestimated his strength...

127
00:19:17,725 --> 00:19:19,833
but he won't catch me off guard again.

128
00:19:20,548 --> 00:19:23,214
That much, at least, is true.

129
00:19:25,335 --> 00:19:27,796
Please, Father!

130
00:19:30,157 --> 00:19:32,860
You'll beg louder than that
when I'm done with you.

131
00:19:41,124 --> 00:19:42,939
What have you done to him?

132
00:19:44,054 --> 00:19:45,904
I asked you a question.

133
00:19:46,875 --> 00:19:48,470
Who are you?

134
00:19:50,412 --> 00:19:52,080
Answer me.

135
00:20:12,844 --> 00:20:14,659
That is who I am.

136
00:20:18,595 --> 00:20:21,908
And when the time comes,
you and this primitive planet...

137
00:20:22,097 --> 00:20:24,873
will swear allegiance to Darkseid.

138
00:20:25,061 --> 00:20:27,729
Or you will be destroyed.

139
00:20:52,853 --> 00:20:55,495
Great Darkseid, I do not understand.

140
00:20:55,675 --> 00:20:57,782
Why did you let Superman live?

141
00:20:58,676 --> 00:21:01,672
Superman cannot be destroyed
with one stroke.

142
00:21:02,213 --> 00:21:04,708
But it can and will be done.

143
00:21:05,392 --> 00:21:08,095
You sacrificed your son—
Uh, Kalibak?

144
00:21:08,785 --> 00:21:10,952
One casualty.

145
00:21:12,464 --> 00:21:15,704
How many will there be
before you destroy Superman...

146
00:21:15,893 --> 00:21:17,318
and conquer the Earth?

147
00:21:18,465 --> 00:21:21,778
As many as it takes.
