Krypton

General Zod is Superman's greatest enemy.

Has traveled back through time to get here.

I'm your son.

Braniac takes Kandor City causing the planet to explode.

Your friend here didn't mention that.

This whole time you knew,

- and you said nothing! - Seg, you cannot trust this man!

I know I should've told you before,

but, I mean, what was I supposed to say?

"By the way, your world's gonna explode."

I've learned of a hidden weapon that would give

- even Braniac pause. - It's called Doomsday.

The Cythonnites... This Doomsday

is what they're sworn to protect.

Find your Zeta-Beam gadget and ride it back

to wherever you came from and never come back!

Why do you want to save Lyta Zod?

Because I love her. Will you help her?

She's a traitor.

If we don't stop Lyta's execution, we lose Jayna.

Pledge your support to my father.

Help us overthrow the Voice of Rao.

One word from you, and she is saved.

This world will only improve...

Under your leadership?

It is time to look to the future.

There's only one left to complete the team,

Commander Dev-Em.

Perhaps it's time you saw who it is you vowed to serve.

Primus! Please, Primus, help!

Help!

You are being given a precious gift.

Freedom from your concerns and attachments.

You have now glimpsed the infinite intelligence

and seen the deliverance that I bring.

Are you ready to serve?

Are you ready to be the instruments of my will?

*KRYPTON* Season 01 Episode 07

*KRYPTON* Episode Title: "Transformation"

We found him in a skimmer heading for Argo City.

Praise be to Rao that you are unharmed.

Leave us.

I will personally see to it that the savages

that perpetrated this attack are dealt with swiftly.

No mercy shall be shown.

We will make Black Zero

- bleed for... - I find it curious

that the Chief Magistrate

would be out of the city as a coup attempt was taking place.

You can't possibly believe that I had anything

to do with this.

I was on a diplomatic mission.

There was nothing nefarious about my absence.

It was merely... Coincidence?

Your Eminence, please.

- I would... - You are lying.

So easy to tell with your species.

Intensified breathing,

elevated heart rate,

the pheromones you generate,

all are windows into your limited nature.

There is nothing you can hide from me.

I had no part in this.

My allegiance belongs to you.

Look at me.

None are worthy to look upon the Voice of Rao's face.

There is no Voice of Rao.

Only the agent of Braniac.

Checking the rear perimeter now.

I'm getting a very bad feeling about this.

That's the third patrol we've seen in the last two blocks.

It's the last day of Nova Cycle.

Why is there no one drunk and running naked

through the streets?

How are you holding up?

I just need to catch my breath.

Something must have happened to warrant the extra security.

We gotta get him to a Guild hospital right now.

He is a wanted terrorist.

We won't get past the checkpoint.

Oh, shit.

Morning. Hi.

He... don't worry about him.

He's just another casualty of the Nova celebrations,

if you know what I mean.

I'm gonna take him home.

S-home... that way.

I'll handle it myself. It's all good.

You have 20 minutes before the curfew begins.

Thanks, guys. Thanks for keeping us safe.

You guys have a good one, now.

- Come on, we're moving. - Where are we taking him?

Only place we can.

Are you here to destroy us?

Don't be foolish.

I'm here to save you.

- From what? - Entropy.

I will lead this city into a glorious new future.

Your way of life preserved for all eternity.

Then you and I share the same goals...

the same vision.

Let me serve you.

An interesting offer.

Let's put your newfound loyalty to the test.

If... I detect deception,

you die.

Who was behind this coup attempt?

I was, it...

Along with Primus Zod.

We also had the support of five members of the Supreme Council.

Why did you wish your leader dead?

He was an ignorant zealot who peddled false hopes

in a nonexistent God.

You don't believe in this sun God of yours.

Why?

My parents...

worshiped the Goddess of ice,

Cythonna.

After the Cataclysm, all religions except Raoism

were banned but unofficially tolerated.

When the Voice of Rao was anointed,

he initiated the Great Purge, and those who did not convert

were killed and disappeared.

And my parents refused.

And I never saw them again.

All I know is...

their God couldn't save them any more than Rao could save

his prophet from you.

What's the point of believing in something that has no power?

So what do you believe in?

Myself.

I took action because I could see that I was the only one

in this city with the vision and strength to lead.

And do you still hold to that belief?

No.

Perhaps you may be useful after all.

Tell me...

how would you deal with these traitors?

They must be publicly executed.

All of them. A message must be sent.

The people will expect it.

Let it be done.

I do have one more question.

Have you given me the names of all the conspirators?

Nyssa-Vex,

my daughter...

She was also involved.

Then she must be executed too.

Correct?

I ask you to allow me to...

Handle this matter.

Very well.

- What's going on? - Nyssa-Vex,

you've been placed under arrest and confined

- to your quarters. - Under whose authority?

Chief Magistrate Daron-Vex.

And that... is why you can't see a Rondor Beast's testicles

when it walks.

- I mean... - Kem!

Seg, where have you been, and who is this guy?

Get everyone out of here. Now.

- Now! - Okay.

All right, everybody out! Finish your drinks!

We're closed! Let's go!

Now.

Come on, let's go. Come on.

Go home to your families. They miss you.

- Hey. - Closing time.

Leave your drinks. Pay me tomorrow.

You know, it's customary to bring drunk people

out of the bar.

Oh!

Yeah, bring him to the store room.

Come on, I'll get some fresh towels.

Come here.

He's getting worse. He needs a medic.

- Okay, I'm on it. - Hey, wh-what are you doing?

All communications are being monitored.

- You should know that. - Why?

What do you mean?

Seriously, you don't know?

There was a failed coup attempt.

They're looking for the conspirators.

The whole city's on lockdown.

See?

They're saying that she orchestrated the whole thing.

It's a lie.

My mother would never betray the state.

I'm just telling you what the official line is, okay?

They've rounded up everyone else except for her,

and... I think they're looking for you too.

And there is one more thing.

The lovely man that you made me boot out of here,

well, he works as a clerk in the Tower of Justice.

Apparently Nyssa-Vex has been arrested.

She's accused of being part of the coup.

Seg, they're gonna execute her.

Sorry.

Hello, Adam.

Is there something I can help you with?
