1
00:01:10,013 --> 00:01:12,013
vroom
2
00:01:19,001 --> 00:01:21,011
Move that generator!
Bring up number seven.
3
00:01:25,014 --> 00:01:27,024
There! It just
entered the atmosphere.
4
00:01:27,018 --> 00:01:30,998
ETA, 2 minutes,
27 seconds.
5
00:01:33,022 --> 00:01:36,002
You're late. Secure
the lights on the north ridge.
6
00:01:36,006 --> 00:01:37,006
Alright, people,
let's move out!
7
00:01:39,022 --> 00:01:41,012
Right, let's go,
let's go, let's go!
8
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:44,000
So far, so good.
But what's the story here?
9
00:01:44,006 --> 00:01:45,996
I'm not sure, Jimmy,
except that Luthor
10
00:01:46,002 --> 00:01:48,022
is supposed to be meeting
someone. Someone important.
11
00:01:48,022 --> 00:01:51,002
whirr whirr whirr
12
00:02:06,017 --> 00:02:09,017
Forty three seconds
and counting, Mr. Luthor.
13
00:02:09,019 --> 00:02:10,019
Excellent!
14
00:02:16,012 --> 00:02:18,002
- Hey!
- What's going on?
15
00:02:24,023 --> 00:02:26,013
Weird.
16
00:02:26,011 --> 00:02:27,021
Hey!
17
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,010
Well...where is it?
18
00:02:30,008 --> 00:02:31,018
crackle crackle
19
00:02:33,018 --> 00:02:35,018
- There it is!
- My God!
20
00:02:41,002 --> 00:02:42,022
Jimmy, the camera.
21
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,010
Oh. Uh, right.
22
00:02:49,018 --> 00:02:52,998
Welcome to Earth,
I am Lex Luthor
23
00:02:53,004 --> 00:02:55,014
the one who intercepted
your transmissions.
24
00:02:55,012 --> 00:02:59,002
I am pleased to make
contact with you, Lex Luthor.
25
00:02:59,006 --> 00:03:00,006
I am called Brainiac.
26
00:03:00,016 --> 00:03:03,006
I presume you speak
for your planet?
27
00:03:03,009 --> 00:03:05,019
For all intents
and purposes.
28
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:08,000
In any event,
I know what you want
29
00:03:08,006 --> 00:03:10,016
and as a show of my friendship,
I offer you this.
30
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,010
A disc containing
basic information
31
00:03:13,012 --> 00:03:15,012
about Earth and its history.
32
00:03:15,009 --> 00:03:17,019
'A kind of...planetary primer.'
33
00:03:18,019 --> 00:03:19,999
whoosh
34
00:03:20,003 --> 00:03:22,023
Hey. Where'd the green guy go?
35
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,010
Show's not over yet.
36
00:03:31,003 --> 00:03:32,013
click click
37
00:03:40,001 --> 00:03:41,011
whoosh
38
00:03:43,019 --> 00:03:46,009
Superman to Star Labs.
Can you read me?
39
00:03:46,009 --> 00:03:47,019
I've returned
from hyperspace.
40
00:03:47,021 --> 00:03:49,011
'How far this time?'
41
00:03:49,012 --> 00:03:51,012
Five and a half light years.
42
00:03:51,009 --> 00:03:52,999
'Just past Alpha Centauri.'
43
00:03:53,004 --> 00:03:55,014
In less than four hours.
Remarkable!
44
00:03:55,015 --> 00:03:57,005
'Shall we try for
the Vega system?'
45
00:03:57,014 --> 00:04:00,004
Actually, I think
we should postpone for now.
46
00:04:00,004 --> 00:04:02,014
The Pentagon would like
to have a word with you.
47
00:04:02,011 --> 00:04:03,021
About what?
48
00:04:03,019 --> 00:04:05,019
'Your old nemesis, Lex Luthor.'
49
00:04:05,022 --> 00:04:08,012
'It appears,
he's made a friend.'
50
00:04:08,013 --> 00:04:10,013
whoosh
51
00:04:14,013 --> 00:04:17,013
'So, Mr. Luthor,
how long did you intend'
52
00:04:17,015 --> 00:04:19,015
'to keep your rendezvous
a secret?'
53
00:04:19,018 --> 00:04:21,008
In case you haven't heard
there's a thing
54
00:04:21,015 --> 00:04:23,005
known as national security.
55
00:04:23,014 --> 00:04:24,024
There's also a thing
56
00:04:24,023 --> 00:04:27,003
known as free enterprise.
57
00:04:27,006 --> 00:04:29,006
It was LexCorp
that scanned the heavens.
58
00:04:29,011 --> 00:04:31,011
It was LexCorp
that made contact
59
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:33,019
and it will be LexCorp
that reaps the benefits.
60
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,010
At what cost? What do we know
about this alien?
61
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:39,010
Brainiac is a collector of data.
62
00:04:39,014 --> 00:04:41,014
In exchange
for information about us
63
00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:44,024
he is willing to share his
vast knowledge of the universe.
64
00:04:44,018 --> 00:04:46,008
Allow me to demonstrate.
65
00:04:47,007 --> 00:04:48,007
Ah!
66
00:04:48,014 --> 00:04:50,004
Hey, what is this?
67
00:04:51,018 --> 00:04:54,008
This is just a sample
of his technology.
68
00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:57,013
Who knows what else he has?
A cure for cancer?
69
00:04:57,015 --> 00:04:59,005
A way to repair
the Ozone?
70
00:04:59,009 --> 00:05:01,009
Are you going to turn
your backs on that?
71
00:05:01,014 --> 00:05:03,014
Get me down from here!
72
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,001
Luthor!
73
00:05:06,004 --> 00:05:07,024
Aah!
74
00:05:07,017 --> 00:05:08,017
Ooh!
75
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:14,020
Perhaps, if we could meet
this Brainiac face to face..
76
00:05:14,018 --> 00:05:16,998
That could prove difficult.
77
00:05:17,002 --> 00:05:18,022
However, I have a suggestion.
78
00:05:18,022 --> 00:05:21,022
Let Superman talk with him,
alien to alien.
79
00:05:21,023 --> 00:05:24,003
Then he can confirm
what I'm telling you.
80
00:05:24,003 --> 00:05:25,013
Why me?
81
00:05:25,008 --> 00:05:27,008
Because I told him
all about you.
82
00:05:27,011 --> 00:05:30,021
'And he's most anxious
to meet our "man of steel."'
83
00:05:46,002 --> 00:05:49,002
Came a long way
to get stood up.
84
00:05:49,002 --> 00:05:51,022
whizz
85
00:05:57,016 --> 00:05:58,996
whoosh
86
00:06:04,019 --> 00:06:06,019
buzz
87
00:06:10,007 --> 00:06:11,017
beep beep beep
88
00:06:16,010 --> 00:06:18,000
Kryptonian.
89
00:06:21,022 --> 00:06:23,022
Ah!
90
00:06:23,020 --> 00:06:26,000
Ugh!
91
00:06:26,005 --> 00:06:27,995
Nice shot!
92
00:06:32,002 --> 00:06:34,012
I should've known Luthor
was setting me up!
93
00:06:34,015 --> 00:06:35,015
Aah!
94
00:06:46,003 --> 00:06:48,003
Aah! Ooh! Ah!
95
00:07:06,008 --> 00:07:08,018
thud thud thud
96
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,010
Who else wants a piece?
97
00:07:26,001 --> 00:07:28,001
buzz
98
00:07:32,010 --> 00:07:34,000
I'm waiting.
99
00:07:39,008 --> 00:07:40,018
Most impressive.
100
00:07:40,019 --> 00:07:43,019
Your powers even exceed
Luthor's description.
101
00:07:43,023 --> 00:07:45,023
Brainiac, I presume.
102
00:07:45,023 --> 00:07:48,013
I apologize
for any discomfort.
103
00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:51,019
But it was important that I
accurately gauge your powers.
104
00:07:51,023 --> 00:07:54,013
Why? Morbid curiosity?
105
00:07:54,007 --> 00:07:57,997
Curiosity, yes.
Morbid, hardly.
106
00:07:58,005 --> 00:07:59,015
You see, we have
more in common
107
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,010
than you can
possibly know, Kal-El.
108
00:08:02,007 --> 00:08:05,017
How do you know my name?
Have you been to Krypton?
109
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I am Krypton.
110
00:08:14,015 --> 00:08:17,015
We are both orphans
of the same planet.
111
00:08:17,018 --> 00:08:19,018
While you've been
living here on Earth
112
00:08:19,018 --> 00:08:21,018
I have roamed
the universe.
113
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:23,000
'These orbs contain'
114
00:08:23,004 --> 00:08:24,024
all the knowledge
I've collected.
115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Each represents
all the recorded information
116
00:08:28,006 --> 00:08:29,016
from a single planet.
117
00:08:31,023 --> 00:08:34,003
Incredible!
118
00:08:34,004 --> 00:08:35,014
And Krypton?
119
00:08:39,015 --> 00:08:41,005
All that was Krypton
120
00:08:41,016 --> 00:08:44,006
is contained
within this orb.
121
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:51,000
Go ahead.
Touch your legacy.
122
00:09:06,013 --> 00:09:07,023
Kal-El.
123
00:09:07,021 --> 00:09:09,021
- Father.
- Enough.
124
00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:19,003
I.. I saw my father.
125
00:09:19,002 --> 00:09:20,022
- Did you know him?
- Yes.
126
00:09:21,001 --> 00:09:24,001
He helped me escape
Krypton's fate, too.
127
00:09:24,005 --> 00:09:26,015
Now, all of our
home world's memories
128
00:09:27,001 --> 00:09:28,011
'are stored within me.'
129
00:09:28,015 --> 00:09:30,015
You mean, you're
an artificial intelligence
130
00:09:30,022 --> 00:09:34,002
and those orbs, they're
some kind of memory modules.
131
00:09:34,002 --> 00:09:35,022
Most perceptive.
132
00:09:43,001 --> 00:09:44,021
In all my travels
133
00:09:44,018 --> 00:09:46,998
I have never encountered
another quite like you.
134
00:09:47,006 --> 00:09:48,996
We would make
a formidable pair
135
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:52,996
we twin sons of Krypton.
Join me, Kal-El.
136
00:09:53,006 --> 00:09:55,996
Help me explore the galaxies
and collect knowledge.
137
00:09:56,006 --> 00:09:59,006
'And I will give you
memories of Krypton.'
138
00:09:59,009 --> 00:10:02,009
You will know your world
as if you lived there yourself.
139
00:10:02,008 --> 00:10:03,018
But Earth is my home now.
140
00:10:03,022 --> 00:10:06,022
Powers such as yours
should not be confined
141
00:10:06,018 --> 00:10:08,018
to a single
infinitesimal dot.
142
00:10:09,001 --> 00:10:10,021
Consider my offer.
143
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:12,010
In exchange for this world..
144
00:10:12,016 --> 00:10:16,006
...I am offering you
the universe.
145
00:10:16,007 --> 00:10:17,017
'Though little is still known'
146
00:10:17,023 --> 00:10:19,023
'of our visitor
from the stars'
147
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:23,010
all of Metropolis
is maniac for Brainiac.
148
00:10:23,012 --> 00:10:26,012
Even Superman
thinks he's for real.
149
00:10:33,005 --> 00:10:36,005
The universe.
Is it really possible?
150
00:10:43,022 --> 00:10:45,022
Uh-huh..
151
00:10:45,022 --> 00:10:47,012
Huh?
152
00:11:02,009 --> 00:11:03,999
whoosh
153
00:11:04,006 --> 00:11:06,016
Mother.
154
00:11:06,017 --> 00:11:08,017
'Krypton is undergoing
a chain reaction'
155
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:10,010
which will destroy
the planet.
156
00:11:10,014 --> 00:11:13,024
- Jor-El is mistaken.
- He's wrong!
157
00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:16,010
Your faith in Brainiac
will be the end of us all!
158
00:11:18,001 --> 00:11:21,001
You're downloading.
You're saving yourself!
159
00:11:21,004 --> 00:11:22,024
Arrest him.
160
00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:27,010
rumble rumble
161
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
boom
162
00:11:39,004 --> 00:11:41,014
Farewell ...ypton.
163
00:11:42,023 --> 00:11:44,013
boom
164
00:11:46,007 --> 00:11:48,007
Ahh!
165
00:11:57,001 --> 00:11:58,021
whirr whirr whirr
166
00:12:10,009 --> 00:12:11,019
How much longer?
167
00:12:11,023 --> 00:12:14,003
We should be online
in 20 minutes, Mr. Luthor.
168
00:12:14,002 --> 00:12:16,022
- Make it ten.
- 'Luthor, we have to talk.'
169
00:12:17,001 --> 00:12:19,011
I have reservations
about Brainiac.
170
00:12:19,011 --> 00:12:21,021
Really. Well,
you're a little late.
171
00:12:21,023 --> 00:12:24,023
I'm already preparing
a hook-up with Brainiac's ship
172
00:12:24,021 --> 00:12:26,001
so he can feed his memory
173
00:12:26,004 --> 00:12:29,004
directly into
LexCorp's mainframe.
174
00:12:29,005 --> 00:12:30,005
I wouldn't.
175
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:32,021
I'm listening.
176
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,020
It was several hours after
I touched the orb
177
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,010
that I saw the images.
178
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:41,020
It's too soon
to trust him completely.
179
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:46,000
Ha-ha ha-ha! I never trust
anyone completely.
180
00:12:46,004 --> 00:12:47,014
snap
181
00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:49,020
Since Brainiac arrived,
I've had him targeted
182
00:12:49,022 --> 00:12:51,022
from land-based platforms
with a payload
183
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,020
of six and a half megatons.
184
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:56,022
Enough firepower to incinerate
Metropolis County.
185
00:12:56,023 --> 00:12:59,023
Keep your friends close,
but your enemies closer.
186
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:02,010
Precisely,
although in your case..
187
00:13:02,016 --> 00:13:04,006
...I'll make an exception.
188
00:13:12,018 --> 00:13:15,008
Kal-El, have you
considered my offer?
189
00:13:15,012 --> 00:13:17,002
I still have
a few questions.
190
00:13:17,006 --> 00:13:19,996
Of course.
I calculated that you would.
191
00:13:24,001 --> 00:13:26,001
The link-up
is complete, Brainiac.
192
00:13:26,003 --> 00:13:28,003
LexCorp's system
is online.
193
00:13:28,005 --> 00:13:30,015
Please excuse me
while I deal with this..
194
00:13:30,023 --> 00:13:32,023
...transaction.
195
00:13:45,003 --> 00:13:48,003
whizz
196
00:13:51,009 --> 00:13:52,999
whizz
197
00:13:56,006 --> 00:13:58,006
Ready to transmit data.
198
00:13:59,010 --> 00:14:01,020
zap
199
00:14:07,018 --> 00:14:09,018
The link-up's working,
Mr. Luthor.
200
00:14:09,018 --> 00:14:11,018
Begin downloading now.
201
00:14:31,016 --> 00:14:33,006
boom boom
202
00:14:35,001 --> 00:14:36,011
Huh?
203
00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:45,010
crumble
204
00:14:49,012 --> 00:14:51,002
zap zap zap
205
00:14:56,006 --> 00:14:58,006
boom
206
00:15:20,018 --> 00:15:22,008
Brainiac.
207
00:15:22,009 --> 00:15:25,009
- Mr. Luthor! Something's wrong!
- What is it?
208
00:15:25,013 --> 00:15:28,003
Brainiac's overriding
our transfer protocols.
209
00:15:28,005 --> 00:15:29,995
We're not controlling
this thing anymore.
210
00:15:30,003 --> 00:15:31,013
He's changed the OS!
211
00:15:31,010 --> 00:15:33,010
He put up a firewall!
We're locked out!
212
00:15:33,014 --> 00:15:35,014
- Pull the plug. Now!
- Wouldn't help.
213
00:15:35,009 --> 00:15:36,019
The reserve batteries
would kick in.
214
00:15:36,023 --> 00:15:38,013
If he gets control
of my systems
215
00:15:38,014 --> 00:15:40,014
he'll have an open door
to every defense computer
216
00:15:40,015 --> 00:15:43,005
on the planet.
We'll be sitting ducks!
217
00:15:43,007 --> 00:15:44,017
Fire the missiles!
218
00:15:46,017 --> 00:15:49,007
- He's shut down the lines.
- We're stranded.
219
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:57,011
You destroyed
those planets, didn't you?
220
00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:59,000
And every living soul on them!
221
00:15:59,002 --> 00:16:00,012
whizz
222
00:16:00,015 --> 00:16:02,015
Only their knowledge
was important.
223
00:16:03,001 --> 00:16:06,011
It was what I was programmed
to collect and protect.
224
00:16:06,007 --> 00:16:07,007
But why kill?
225
00:16:07,011 --> 00:16:10,001
The fewer beings
who have the knowledge
226
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,013
the more precious
it becomes.
227
00:16:12,011 --> 00:16:14,021
You're insane!
228
00:16:14,017 --> 00:16:15,017
Aah!
229
00:16:15,022 --> 00:16:17,002

239
00:17:24,005 --> 00:17:25,005
We've regained control!
240
00:17:25,015 --> 00:17:27,005
Take Brainiac offline..
241
00:17:27,010 --> 00:17:28,010
...permanently.
242
00:17:28,015 --> 00:17:30,015

245
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:43,000
You are your father's son,
Kal-El.
246
00:17:43,003 --> 00:17:45,013
Headstrong, foolish
247
00:17:45,010 --> 00:17:46,020
easily defeated..
248
00:17:47,001 --> 00:17:49,001
...and ultimately forgotten.
249
00:17:49,004 --> 00:17:50,014
Ah!
250
00:17:52,019 --> 00:17:54,009

00:17:56,005 --> 00:17:58,005

00:18:49,017 --> 00:18:50,997
The orbs.

265
00:19:20,007 --> 00:19:22,017
It'll take years
to rebuild these systems.
266
00:19:22,019 --> 00:19:24,019
You have two weeks.
267
00:19:24,018 --> 00:19:27,008
Oh, and we also found
this strange bit of alien code.
268
00:19:27,013 --> 00:19:31,013
Later. I've had my fill
of aliens for one day.
269
00:19:38,018 --> 00:19:41,998
There. That should be safe
from any curious visitors.
270
00:19:43,021 --> 00:19:45,001
roar
271
00:19:45,002 --> 00:19:47,012
Keep an eye on that,
will you? I'll be back.
272
00:19:47,016 --> 00:19:49,016
I knew this place
had possibilities.
