Man of Steel (2013) Edit

A background check revealed that his work history...

A boy child.

A choice of whether to stand proud in front of the human race or not.

A dream your mother and I dedicated our lives to preserve.

A freak.

A good death is its own reward.

A good death...

A launch.

A school bus that went into the river.

A singularity can be created.

A world with a much harsher environment than Earth's.

Abort the launch.

AGENT: FBI. Hands up.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ahh!

Ahh!

Ahhh!

All Kryptonians were conceived in chambers such as this.

All right. You've got our attention.

All systems operational.

All these changes that you're going through, one day...

ALL: Ah!

Along with a half eaten roll of Lifesavers.

Alpha team, sit rep. Alpha team.

An isotope analysis of the surrounding ice bores suggests that an object...

ANALYST: 380 knots, entering Kansas...

And every action I take...

And he sent you here...

And he will be free.

And he's beyond your reach.

And I don't blame you, son.

And I have arrived at the inescapable conclusion...

And I worried all the time.

And I'm arguing its merits with a ghost.

And if he won't do that...

And if history has proven anything...

And if it makes them feel more secure...

And if your forces prevail...

And in turn, you can teach Kal.

And it hurts...

And Kal?

And neither are you.

And not a day goes by where it doesn't haunt me.

And so the instrument of our damnation...

And that when the day came...

And the Fordham boy.

And there you go.

And we've been making this up as we go along, so maybe...

And who will decide which bloodlines survive, Zod?

And you.

Anybody know where we keep the toner?

Are they gone?

Are you listening, Clark?

Are you seriously suggesting that we evacuate the entire planet?

Are you watching this crap? Been running all morning.

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Arm the package. You are cleared hot.

As a result, our planet's core became unstable.

As for my rescuer?

Be that as it may...

Because he was convinced that I had to wait.

Because I want my mystery man to know I know the truth.

Because whoever that man is, good character or bad, he's...

Been here for 33 years, doctor.

Behind you.

Brace for impact.

Brace for impact.

Breaching the genesis chamber is a Class B crime

Bring that ship down.

But all we found was death.

But by then it was too late.

But didn't you once describe my site...

But he is not one of you.

But here's the spooky pan.

But if I had to do it again, I would.

But in time...

But not for a moment do I believe that your leads just went cold.

But somewhere out there you've...

But that doesn't mean I'm your enemy

But those pieces you wrote when you were embedded with the 1st Division were...

But we've been doing the best we can.

But you can't be.

But you chose the humans over us.

But you're not just anyone, Clark, and I have to believe that you were...

But, ultimately, I believe that's a good thing.

Can you help us?

Can you imagine how people on this planet would react...

Can you see it?

Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?

Can't you see that? The Krypton you're clinging onto is gone.

Cells.

CHRISSY: Anything else? MAN 2: They're calling it an anomalous object.

CHRISSY: It's not worth it, sweetie.

Citadel's defenses are being scanned and evaluated.

Clark, come out of there.

Clark, I have called your mother.

Clark, you have to keep this side of yourself a secret.

CLARK: I didn't say that.

CLARK: I let my father die because I trusted him.

CLARK: I'm tired of safe.

CLARK: It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right.

CLARK: What? It's nothing.

CLARK: Where people won't look twice...

Clark!

Clark?

Clark.

Clark.

Clark.

Clark.

CO PILOT: Co pilot's aircraft.

Colonel Hardy's on his way and he's got Superman in tow.

Come on, Kent.

Come on, Lois. When are you gonna throw me a bone?

Come on!

Come on. Fight back.

Come on...

Comets don't make course corrections, general.

Coming.

COMPUTER: Command key accepted. Genesis chamber coming online, sir.

COMPUTER: Recursive diagnostics complete.

COMPUTER: Target locked.

Concentrate fire on the main doors.

COP: Everybody, this way! Come on!

Courtside seats to the game tonight.

Courtside?

Cut off from Krypton, these outposts...

Dad!

Destroy it.

Destroy it.

Did God do this to me?

Did they hurt you?

Didn't even exist on the periodic table.

Didn't make much difference in the end.

Do what you have to do, general.

Do you copy? Alpha team.

Do you know...

Don't do this, El.

Don't do this!

Don't play games with me, general.

Doubtful. That's 300 meters.

Drop the bag. Now.

DSP pinged two bogeys launching from the alien ship.

Earth's gravity is weaker, yet its atmosphere is more nourishing.

Easy, H'Raka.

Eiecu

Either you die...

Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief...

Even if I were willing to try, what makes you think they'd listen?

Even your father recognized that.

Eventually, our military leader...

Every child was designed to fulfill a pre determined role in our society...

Everybody, come on! Keep moving, keep moving.

FAORA: General.

FAORA: Kal El.

FAORA: The Codex is not here.

FAORA: Yes, sir. I need to secure the genesis chamber...

FAORA: You will not win.

Faora.

FATHER LEONE: What's on your mind?

Fire.

Focus...

For 33 years we prepared...

For 100,000 years, our civilization flourished...

For believing in me.

For every human you save...

For once I agree with Woodburn. Have you seen him?

For reasons unknown, he has chosen to keep his existence...

For what purpose?

Free to forge his own destiny.

General Zod.

Get inside. It's not safe.

Get me Lara.

Get up, Kent.

GIRL 1: His parents won't even let him play with other kids.

GIRL 2: I know.

Give me control of the Codex. I will ensure the survival of our race.

Glad to be here, Lois.

Go for the overpass!

Go to hell.

Go, Lois.

Go.

Good luck, kid.

Good luck, sir.

Goodbye, my son.

Got it.

Greenhorn.

Guess I'll just have to trust you.

Guiding presence authenticated.

H.&.RD'?': Loadmaster, is the package

HAM I LTON : General Swanwiczk, sir

HAM I LTON: Sir?

Hank! Hank! Come!

Hank's in the car.

HARDY: All rangers, I need you...

HARDY: General, that craft maxes out...

HARDY: Guardian en route to Metropolis...

HARDY: Miss Lane?

HARDY: Miss Lane.

HARDY: We're auto rotating, going in hard.

HARDY: You asked for the alien.

Harvesting the core was suicide. It has accelerated...

Have you tried...communicating with it?

Haven't given up lecturing me, have you, even in death?

He did it.

He did it.

He disappeared during the object's departure.

He knows you're Woodburn's anonymous source and cannot wait to rip you a new one.

He said whatever it was made from didn't even...

He saved us.

He saw it, Clark, believe me.

He was in the bus.

He will have made efforts to blend in.

He will look like you.

He'll be a god to them.

He'll be an outcast.

He'll die out there...

He's a stranger to our ways.

He's gonna change the world.

He's right. Clark has a point.

HELEN: My son was there.

Hello?

Help her out.

Help him.

Help him.

Help me save our race. We'll start anew.

HERALDSON [ON PA]: Gentlemen, secure the deck.

HERALDSON: Roger, Coast Guard. What about the men left inside?

Here...

Heresy.

Hey, Perry's gunning for you.

Hey. Leave her alone, man.

Hi.

His cells will drink its radiation.

His consciousness.

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on.

Hold this platform, commander.

How about...

How can 7

How can I help you if you won't let me in?

How could he have remained hidden from us for so long?

How do we know you won't one day act against America's interests?

How far to the station?

I am Kal's father.

I am your father, Kal.

I asked if you could tell me who first...

I believe you saw something, Lois.

I can also see the soldiers in the next room...

I can do things that other people can't.

I can modify its atmospheric composition...

I can promise you that.

I can teach you.

I can't do it.

I can't print this, Lois. You might have hallucinated half of it.

I designed this ship.

I did.

I didn't wanna tell them anything, but they did something to me.

I don't care what you tell him.

I don't even know why I'm listening to you. You're not my dad.

I don't even know why I'm listening to you. You're not my dad.

I don't know where to start.

I don't know, general.

I don't know.

I don't think they're interested in sharing this world.

I don't wanna be.

I exist...

I fell into a ring of fire

I gotta confess, Miss Lane...

I gotta find a job where I can keep my ear to the ground.

I grew up in Kansas, general.

I have a duty to my people...

I have a duty to my people...

I have held that hope in my hands.

I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you.

I have previously encountered and observed...

I have so many questions.

I just think he's kind of hot.

I just wanna do something useful with my life.

I just wanted to help.

I know how to stop them.

I know where I come from now.

I know you did, but we talked about this.

I know you did. I mean...

I know you're trying to find out where I hang my cape.

I know, I can see your ID tag in your breast pocket.

I promise.

I request that you return this individual...

I said

I see it.

I stand by my words. Woodburn. but I want this story...

I take it you're Zod?

I think I'll probably just leave when I'm good and ready.

I think so.

I think you're blowing it out of proportion.

I thought I could, but...

I told you not to run with this, and what do you do?

I took it to a metallurgist...

I wanna hear what he has to say.

I want you to show him the ropes. This is Clark Kent.

I wanted to hit that kid. I wanted to hit him bad.

I was bred to be a warrior, Kal.

I will find him, Lara.

I will find him!

I will find him.

I will harvest the Codex from your son's corpse...

I will not let you use the Codex like this.

I will reclaim what you have taken from us.

I would like to speak to Lois Lane.

I'll be with you as soon as I can.

I'll go.

I'll surrender, but only if you guarantee Lois's freedom.

I'll upload the Codex.

I'm all right.

I'm Colonel Hardy, U.S. Norlhcom. Dr. Emil Hamilton...

I'm from the Daily Planet and I'd like to talk to you about your son.

I'm going to make them suffer, Kal.

I'm just speculating, but I think whoever's at the helm of that thing...

I'm Lois Lane. I'm from the Daily Planet.

I'm looking for a Pete Ross. Do you know him?

I'm not about to let that stop me from trying.

I'm not going anywhere, Mom.

I'm pretty sure that only counts when you're kissing a human.

I'm so happy for you, Clark.

I'm sorry.

I'm surrendering to mankind. There's a difference.

I'm the one they're looking for.

I'm worried they'll take you away from me.

Icome from a world far from yours.

If I don't stop that machine over the Indian Ocean...

If Krypton lives again...

If only Lara could have witnessed this.

If that thing is making Earth more like Krypton...

If you destroy this ship...

If you destroy this ship...

If you love...

Ikon 4 coming online.

Initiate.

Is it true what Zod said about the Codex?

Is she right?

Is that all you've got?

Is that what I think it is?

Isn't it?

Isn't that a good thing?

It bends space.

It can always be replaced.

It did to me.

It is of little consequence...

It was hard for you.

It was never in the capsule.

It's a seemingly intelligent population.

It's a viable plan.

It's all right, Martha.

It's going to come out eventually.

It's gonna impact somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

It's his only chance now.

It's not an S.

It's on my phone too.

It's only stuff, Clark.

It's our people's only hope.

It's the Pentagon.

It's up to you and Hamilton now.

Jar er' took me 000%: x..

JAX UR: What happened down there?

JENNY: It's coming in on the RSS feeds.

Joe can take your bags. Joe.

JONATHAN: Go for the overpass.

JONATHAN: Our family's been farming for five generations.

Jor El was right.

Jor El was right.

JOR EL: A young star.

JOR EL: Did you find a world?

JOR EL: Earth's sun is younger and brighter than Krypton's was.

JOR EL: Lara, you have to ready the launch.

JOR EL: Stop this, Zod...

JOR EL: The ship's crew are alerted.

JOR EL: You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards.

Just let me look at him.

Kal El.

Kal El. It is.

KELOR: Lady Lara, shouldn't you find refuge?

KEN: Come on, Kent.

Krypton had its chance.

Krypton is doomed.

Krypton's first natural birth in centuries.

Krypton's first natural birth in centuries.

LARA: What if the ship doesn't make it?

Lara.

LARAMORE: Put it on the board now.

LEONE: Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith first.

Let me tell your story.

Let's make it three weeks since you're so willing to agree.

LO I S Clark

LO R EM: General Zod..

Lois Lane.

LOIS: Ah!

LOIS: As you work your way back in time, the stories form a pattern.

LOIS: Careful with those. They're heavy.

LOIS: Don't. Ha, ha, ha. No.

LOIS: Hi.

LOIS: How do you find someone who has spent a lifetime covering his tracks?

LOIS: It's all right.

LOIS: It's the ship he arrived in.

LOIS: Mrs. Kent?

LOIS: Pete Ross?

LOIS: Thanks.

LOIS: The friends of a friend...

LOIS: What Colonel Hardy and his team surmised...

LOIS: What's happening to him?

LOIS: Why are you surrendering to Zod?

Lois.

Lombard, Lane, I want you to meet our new stringer.

LOMBARD: Hey. Steve.

LOMBARD: Push! Oh, my God.

LOMBARD: You better watch out, Lois.

Long ago...

Look at this.

Look to the stars, like our ancestors did.

Look, Dad

Look, let's get one thing straight, guys, okay?

Look.

Look...

Make a better world than ours, Kal.

Make you feel any better?

MAN [ON TV]: This is a breaking news. An unidentified...

MAN [ON TV]: We hardly know anything about him, isn't that right?

MAN [OVER RADIO]: All civilian boats, stand clear.

MAN 1: Go! Go!

MAN 1: Hey, let's go. What are you doing?

MAN 2: No, there was a change in the plans.

MAN: Forget them. They're dead. Greenhorn...

MAN: Let's get this trap in the air.

MAN: Miss Lane! It's not safe for you...

MAN: Over there. Just follow them. JONATHAN: Take cover.

MAN: Right here!

MAN: This is the last of the oxygen. I don't know how much longer we can hold out.

MAN: Well, I was saying we were...

MARTHA: A reporter came by here.

MARTHA: Ah!

MARTHA: Clark.

MARTHA: Clark.

MARTHA: Dusty. Shh shh shh.

MARTHA: Go get him.

MARTHA: He always believed you were meant for greater things.

MARTHA: I'm here.

MARTHA: Oh.

MARTHA: Then make it small.

MARTHA: What are you going to do when you're not saving the world?

Maybe our best isn't good enough anymore.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Miss Lane!

Miss Lane. How you doing?

Mom.

Move your head to the left

My editor won't print it, but if it leaked online...

My father believed that if the world found out who I really was...

My name was Jor El.

My parents taught me to hone...

My parents.

My People.

My son...

My son...

My soul...

Negative, Guardian.

Never gonna happen.

Never hear him say our names.

Never.

Nice suit, son.

No matter how much...

No, I'm not. Lana saw it too.

No, no, no!

No, wait.

No, Zod.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No.

No. But this General Zod...

No. Everybody here is already dead.

Nobody cares anymore, Kelex. The world is about to come to an end.

Northcom, this is Guardian.

Northcom, this is Guardian. Are we cleared?

Not if you give them hope.

Not if you guide them, Kal.

Nothing, sir.

Now hold my hand.

Now it's within your power...

Now the publishers want me to sue you.

Of course they are. They're supposed to.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit.

Oh, there he is.

On behalf of General Zod, I extend you his greetings.

On Krypton...

On my world it means hope.

One day you're gonna think of them as a blessing. When that day comes...

Ooh.

Or at least a shadow of him.

Or do you prefer Clark?

Or I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Or what, tough guy?

Our beliefs, our notions of...

Our hopes and dreams travel with you.

Our people can co exist.

Out of the way.

People are afraid of what they don't understand.

Perry, it's me we're talking about.

PERRY: All right, everybody...

PERRY: Jenny.

PERRY: We just gotta move this. LOMBARD: Here.

Perry!

PETE: Hey, ass wipe.

PILOT 1 : Contact. Contact.

PILOT 1: Cleared hot. Weapons free.

PILOT 1: Norlhcom, Lightning 1, request...

PILOT 1: Roger, Guardian, we are inbound to target.

PILOT 1: Roger, Guardian. We'll make a second gun run...

PILOT 2: Avionics are going haywire. The gravity field...

PILOT 2: Copy, 11. Weapons free.

PILOT 2: Fallen angel. Fallen angel. Guardian is down. I repeat, Guardian is down.

PILOT 2: I just lost my wingman.

PILOT 2: Thunder 11...

PILOT: This is Coast Guard 6510. We'll make one more pass then get out.

Planetary engineering...

Pretend ifs an island...

Put down everything you've got north of my position.

Ragh!

RAIN P L I MG Cfark.

RAIUIPLI MG Clark.

RAMPLING: when Kansas became a territory?

RANGER 1: Let's go. Go to the LZ.

RANGER 2: Roger, sarge. let's go!

RANGER 3: Guardian, this is Badger 01.

Re task lkon 4...

Release the world engine.

Remember, the phantom drives are essential in stopping them.

Retrieve the command key.

Right?

Right? We talked about this. You have...

Safe travels, Miss Lane. It's unlikely...

Secure the deck.

Secure yourself inside the open pod.

She's a friend. Don't worry.

Ship, have you managed to quarantine this invasive intelligence?

Sir, you can't expect us to not take precautions.

Sir? Is everything all right?

Slide that in. You push, I'll pull, okay?

So farming, feeding people. That's not useful?

So if we open up this doorway...

So that Krypton can live again...

So we can suffer through years of pain trying to adapt like your son has?

So whatever your reasons are for dropping it...

So you want us to bomb them with that?

SOLDIER [OVER PA]: Lay down your weapons.

SOLDIER: Jar El, by the authority of General Zod..

SOLDIER: Move now! Go!

Somebody found something strange on Ellesmere.

Somebody's going to get a photograph or figure out where you live.

Somehow they're increasing the Earth's mass...

Stop!

Stop!

Strike that panel.

Strike.

SUPERMAN: Ahh!

SUPERMAN: I...

SUPERMAN: I'm so sorry.

SUPERMAN: It was.

SUPERMAN: It's one of your surveillance drones.

SUPERMAN: Mom'?

SUPERMAN: Unh. ZOD: Not conflict.

SUPERMAN: Weak.

SUPERMAN: You'll be safe here.

Superman?

Surrender it...

Surrender within 24 hours...

SWANWICK: Air speed?

SWANWICK: Are you effing stupid?

SWANWICK: Command, the word...

SWANWICK: Godspeed, Guardian.

SWANWICK: How fast is that bogey moving? ANALYST 1: Approaching...

SWANWICK: That's a $12,000,000 piece of hardware.

SWANWICK: What have they hit us with? Looks like some kind of gravity...

Take command.

Take cover! Take cover!

Take him away.

Target locked.

Target that aircraft.

Tell me.

Tell me...

Temperatures drop to minus 40 at night around here.

Thank you, colonel.

Thank you.

Thanks to you, I'm uploading to the ship's mainframe.

That ship that appeared last night.

That you were sent here for a reason.

That's another way of saying...

That's my name.

That's not what I meant. I meant, are you all right?

That's the name they gave you.

That's what I'm worried about.

That's what they're calling him. Superman.

That's what this symbol means.

That's why we risked so much to save you.

That's wonderful.

The alien, sir.

The Americans are there too, lots of them.

The atmospheric composition on our ship is not compatible with humans.

The Codex is Krypton's future.

The command key I have entered is revoking your authority.

The command key, Miss Lane.

The entire world is being threatened here.

The fact that you possess a sense of morality...

The FBI is here. They're throwing around words like treason.

The foundation has to be built on something.

The ice shelf plays hell on the echo soundings.

The ice surrounding the object...

The last thing I want is for us to be enemies.

The only reason I'm here is because we're on Canadian soil...

The only thing we agreed on...

The only way to know how strong...

The outposts on space exploration were abandoned.

The people of Earth are different from us, it's true.

The problem is...

The questions raised by my rescuer's...

The rest of the ship is descending.

The rest of you will be tried and punished accordingly.

The ship appears to have...

The ship just split in two

The strength you derived from the Earth's sun...

The sub sea valves failed and the rig is about to explode.

The symbol of the house of El means hope.

The trust part comes later.

The truth about you is beautiful.

The world's too big, Mom.

Then of course there's the question on ever)/onek mind:

Then prepare to terminate it.

Then swim towards it, honey.

Then what can you be a part of?

Then who is'?

There are habitable worlds within reach. We can begin by using the old outposts.

There is no refuge, Kelor.

There.

There's a bucket in the corner.

There's more at stake here than just our lives, Clark, or the lives of those around us.

There's something wrong. It's not supposed to do this.

These humans you've adopted. I will take them all from you...

These lawmakers...

They are extremely dangerous and we have been authorized...

They did the same thing to me.

They will fall.

They will stumble.

They won't necessarily make the same mistakes we did.

They'll kill him.

They'll race behind you.

They're coming.

They're terraforming.

This council has been disbanded.

This is a second chance for all of Krypton...

This is gonna hurt.

This is serious, Lois.

This is the end.

This isn't the first time...

This man is not our enemy.

This scout ship was one of thousands launched into the void.

This ship is powered by something called a phantom drive.

This should be cause...

This was in that chamber with you.

This was providence.

Thunder 11, eject!

Thunder 11...

Thunder 12, calling Guardian.

To Kai El, I say this.

To see you standing there having grown into an adult...

To those of you who may know...

To your right.

Track one is heading east, track two to the southern hemisphere.

Trained my entire life...

Try not to wander.

Turning Earth into Krypton.

Two weeks leave...

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Van!

Very little. According to government officials...

Wanted you to see this before some amateur with a telescope creates a worldwide panic.

Watch it, dumb ass!

We are lined up for the drop. What's the hold up?

We are now slave to the world engine.

We built outposts on other planets...

We can forgive Kal any lapses in decorum.

We can stop them.

We could have built a new Krypton...

We couldn't, Kal.

We exhausted our natural resources.

We have a plan, general.

We have got to go.

We have identified an engine ignition within the citadel.

We have two alien craft on aggressive approach.

We just got a distress call from a rig due west of us.

We knew that one day, the whole world would see that.

We may only have a matter of weeks. I warned you.

We need to move quickly.

We salvaged what we could...

We saw that the moment we laid eyes on you.

We sought out the old colonial outposts...

We wanted you to learn...

We were adrift, destined to float...

We were expecting you tomorrow.

We were sure the government was gonna show up on our doorstep...

We'll get you out of there, all right? Just sit tight.

We'll never get to see him walk.

We'll sever...

We're both ghosts, Zod.

We're going in hard!

We're lining up for the final run.

We're not your parents.

We're passing through phase line red. Good to go.

We've had a child, Zod.

We've had a child, Zod.

We've had a setback.

Well, here, it's an S.

Well, if it makes a difference, I'm dropping it.

Well, look at you.

Well, they haven't responded as of yet.

Well, they were pretty impressive.

Well, what can I say? I get writer's block if I'm not wearing a flak jacket.

What about the contractors who corroborated...

What about the guy in blue?

What am I looking at, doc? Comet? Asteroid?

What are you smiling about?

What do you think?

What do you think? You see the game?

What does your gut tell you?

What happened to your leads?

What if a child dreamed of becoming something...
