Krypton

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.

*KRYPTON* Season 02 Episode 06

*KRYPTON* Episode Title : "In Zod We Trust"

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.
