"On this third planet from this star,

514
00:41:40,248 --> 00:41:43,377
sol, you will be a god among men.

515
00:41:44,753 --> 00:41:47,589
They are a flawed race,
rule them with strength, my son,

516
00:41:47,756 --> 00:41:49,841
that is where your greatness lies."

517
00:41:56,348 --> 00:41:58,892
I think I was sent here to conquer.

518
00:42:02,062 --> 00:42:04,523
What kind of planet am I from?

519
00:42:05,315 --> 00:42:08,819
Maybe you did misread it, Clark,
but even if you didn't,

520
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:11,780
it's you who decides
what kind of life you're gonna lead.

521
00:42:11,947 --> 00:42:15,909
Not me, not your mother,
not your biological parents.

522
00:42:16,118 --> 00:42:18,328
What if it's part of who I am?

523
00:42:18,495 --> 00:42:20,497
Is that the kind of person I will become?

524
00:42:20,664 --> 00:42:23,041
Clark Kent, you're here
to be a force for good.

525
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:26,294
- Not a force for evil.
- But how can you be so sure?

526
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:28,422
Because I am your father.

527
00:42:28,588 --> 00:42:32,634
I raised you
and I know you better than anyone.
