[MACHINERY HUMS]
[KAL-EL CRIES]
Have you finished?
Nearly.
It's the only answer, Lara.
If he remains here with us he will die as surely as we will.
But why Earth, Jor-El?
They're primitives thousands of years behind us.
He will need that advantage to survive.
Their atmosphere will sustain him.
LARA: He will defy their gravity.
JOR-EL: He will look like one of them.
He won't be one of them.
No.
His dense molecular structure will make him strong.
He'll be odd. Different.
He'll be fast. Virtually invulnerable.
Isolated, alone.
[SIGHS]
He will not be alone.
He will never be alone.
KRYPTONIAN: The energy input to Jor-El's quarters...
...is now in excess.
Our data indicates the loss is due to a misuse of energy.
Investigate.
And if the investigation proves correct?
He knew the penalty he faced.
Even as a member of this council.
The law will be upheld.
You will travel far, my little Kal-El.
But we will never leave you...
...even in the face of our deaths.
The richness of our lives, it will be yours.
All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel...
...all this and more...
...I bequeath you, my son.
You will carry me inside you all the days of your life.
You will make my strength your own, see my life through your eyes...
...as your life will be seen through mine.
The son becomes the father, and the father the son.
This is all I....
All I can send you...
...Kal-El.
