[laughter]

Listen, you're my man.

Just out of curiosity, where

exactly did he go?

There's a lot of weird

places out there.

Oh yeah?

[laughter]

[music ♪]

[crowd gathering]

Go ahead. Ask him. It's OK.

Sovereign. May I have your

autograph?

I'm not who you think I am.

[tires screeching]

Sovereign. We've found a

traitor.

A traitor to what?

To you.

[spits]

[screams]

Should we execute her, or would

you like to.

Rip her arms off, Sovereign.

Burn her with your heat vision.

He's going to k*ll her.

Lana.

Go ahead, do it.

Lana, what's going on?

You ought to know, you're the

sovereign.

I'm not the sovereign. You've

got to believe me.

Who else could you be?

You look like him.

You have his powers.

If I were this sovereign,

wouldn't I have k*lled you?

You're trying to trick me.

You want me to inform

on the movement.

- What movement?

- The movement that's gonna

The movement that believes in

freedom and democracy.

But that's what I believe in.

No. I'm not going to tell you

anything.

But Lana.

Just go ahead and k*ll me.

Stubborn as ever.

What?

No.

That's it?

Um, you don't suppose there's

any way he could get back, do

I'm not sure.

Well let's make sure .

A little plastique, perhaps.

What?

[imitates expl*si*n]

No more problems.

What are you kidding?

This machine's my whole life's

work.

No it's not.

But after I come to power

and make you permanent director

of the National Academy of

with a billion dollar budget.

Then you can begin your life's

work.

Like, I guess I can whip up a

batch of C4.

Perfect.

Besides, I've still got the

remote.

The what?

I've been working on this

control device,

and it works just like the

portal, except that

you can hold it in your hands.

Ah, Let me see it.

Hmmm.

Just to be on the safe side.

I thought I got rid of you.

Wrong one.

Which one are you?

The one who k*lled you.

[patriotic music ♪]

[knocking]

[turns down music]

Sovereign.

Dr. Winger.

Yes, have I, have I done

something to offend you?

You're working on a

dimensional portal.

Yes I am. But how did you

know that?

Lucky guess.

You were just about to test it,

weren't you?

You know everything.

I don't suppose you could

help me with something?

Anything, sovereign. Anything.

I need to use the portal.

I don't know if it works.

I've taken some tests on it.

But

Trust me. It does.

Well, anything you say

sovereign, of course.

I have to go next door to

adjust the power supply.

See it works on a 3,000

Then go.

They hate me.

They hate me!

They don't hate you, sovereign.

They love you.

They don't deserve me.

They don't.

Maybe I should let them run

their own stinking planet.

Oh, no sovereign, no.

We need you.

But the movement doesn't need

me.

They're an aberration.

A handful of lunatics.

If just a few, then why are they

so difficult to get rid of?

Because

I'm waiting.

Because, we're no good.

We don't deserve to work for

you.

You're dedicated. I like that.

Why don't you take that

dedication and use it to get rid

Yes, Sovereign.

We will.

Good.

Now I feel better.

We'll get on it right now,

sovereign.

Sovereign

Sovereign. There's an imposter,

pretending to be you.

That's impossible.

He flew sir.

And he had a chance to k*ll one

of the rebels, but he didn't do

- He flew?

- Yes sir.

It's some kind of trick.

They're trying to destroy me.

I'll see to it immediately sir.

Stop!

Get back here.

No, sovereign. No.

Please, please.

Have mercy on me.

No, please.

[moaning in pain]

Is everything OK?

Just perfect, sovereign.

But I brought a friend.

I hope you don't mind.

A friend?

A friend of his, not yours.

[patriotic music ♪]

[music stops]

He's not the sovereign.

He let me go.

It was a trick.

No, No, he's not. I know it.

OK. Who are you?

Superboy.

What the hell kind of a

name is that?

He's lying. He's the sovereign.

I came through one of the

portals from another world.

What do you mean one

of the portals.

There's only this one.

There are billions.

What's he talking about?

Multidimensional theory.

How would you know about that?

It works.

I'm proof.

It is possible.

Lex. He's not the sovereign.

OK.

But I want something in return.

Same old Luthor.

What do you want me

to do for you?

You're gonna help us

fight the sovereign.

You said you believed

in freedom and democracy.

Now prove it.

Every child knows the

sovereign's story by heart.

It's practically religion.

The infant who could fly, lift a

truck, see through concrete

destroy an entire forest with

the heat that comes from his

He came here on a rocket.

It landed on the Kent farm.

Kent farm?

No just across the highway from

there a couple of hundred yards.

Landed at one of the Ellman

granary complexes.

The old man Ellman

found him himself.

Took him back to his estate

and carefully groomed him

to become master of the earth.

See Ellman was crippled.

Saw the Sovereign's strength,

and with it the potential for

total political domination.

Based entirely on Ellman's

philosophy of fear and

[g*nf*re]

Get down.

Lana, are you all right?

Lex?

Lex?

Oh, God. He's been hit.

[wheezing]

You've, you've got to to

promise me something.

What?

Promise me You're gonna help

us fight him.

Promise me.

I'll fight him.

Tell me. Are there other

Luthor's out there?

There are.

Are they the kind of men

that will die for what

they believe in?

Absolutely.

No. Lex come on.

Don't give up.

Lex.

So I asked myself

where do the people in the

movement come from?

Don't they have brothers

and sisters?

mothers and fathers,

sons and daughters?

Of course, they do.

And those people have an

obligation to report them.

If they don't. they're guilty of

treason too.

Remember, the sovereign can't be

watching all of you all the

But, sooner or later,

he will see you.

Very nice.

Excellent likeness.

Now who are you?

I'm you, I'm ashamed to say.

But how?

Listen to me.

These people don't need your

help.

They can run their own lives.

You know you look like me.

But I don't think you have

my character.

Let's see what you're made of.

You're as strong as I am.

People like us were meant to

rule. It's our destiny.

I'm not sure what my destiny is,

but I know it's not this.

Look what I've done.

They wanted truth and justice.

I gave them something better.

Peace and prosperity, order!

But not the freedom to choose

the way we want to live.

Lana, get out of here.

It's all right.

I'm ready for it.

No.

This is a mistake.

You k*lled Lex.

You were always jealous of him

when we were growing up.

You cannot do this.

Oh, yes I can.

You've always wanted me.

Oh.

Now you've got me.

Let's dance.

Lana, no.

Time to go.

At least it didn't k*ll you

this time.

Will you shut up and

try to undo my wrist.

Change of heart?

No.

Same heart that was there

all along.

Maybe you will turn

things around.

Oh.

Maybe.

Here's a present for starters.

We're going home, Lex.

No way. I'm not going

in that thing.

Yes you are.

Look, the portal.

I must have transported the

expl*si*n back, too.

Here.

But what about you?

Don't worry, I'll be all right.

Go.

No. No.

No.

[screaming]

[expl*si*n]

I was afraid I'd never

see you again.

I thought I'd never see this you

again either.

Honey. Lex.

[mumbling]

There's no place like home.

What the hell did you do to

him?

He's crazy.

What was he before? Sane?

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home.

There's no place like home.
