Quotes 

• Jonathan Kent : How far can you hear?

  Jordan Kent : Oh, I don't know. Somewhere in Australia?

  Jonathan Kent : Australia?

  Jordan Kent : Or New Zealand. I can't tell the accents apart. Regardless, it doesn't matter. I couldn't hear Dad.

  Jonathan Kent : Okay, well, I mean, what if he just wasn't saying something and-and you, like, you scanned over him or...

  Jordan Kent : Jon, I-I-I don't know. That's what I've been saying. I just got this power good enough that I'm not having a migraine every two seconds. Look, this isn't gonna work.

  Jonathan Kent : Hey. Yes, it will, okay? Just try again.

  Jordan Kent : We've been at this for an hour, and I don't even know what I'm hearing half the time.

  Jonathan Kent : Look, I know it's hard, but right now, you are the only one who can find him.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, but what if I can't? Wh-What if I-I-I keep trying and trying, and my powers just aren't good enough?

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, you're good enough.

  Jordan Kent : Really? 'Cause that didn't stop Edge. W-When I used my heat vision on him, I-I gave him everything I had, everything, and he just... he just tossed me around like a rag doll. Then he took off with Dad. I-I was the only one with powers who could've done something, and I just... I didn't.

  Jonathan Kent : You can do something now. You can do something now, okay? Just focus, okay?

• Jonathan Kent : Do you know who I am?

  John Henry Irons : I have a pretty good idea.

  Jonathan Kent : My name's Jonathan. Jonathan Kent. When you were at the DOD, your RV was parked at our farm. I saw a lot of videos about you there. I saw... I saw what happened to my mom. I saw who my dad was. I saw a lot about you, too. I saw about your daughter, Natalie. You seemed like a really good dad. I just want you to know... this guy you're about to kill... he's a really good dad, too.

  John Henry Irons : I wish there was another way, son.

  Jonathan Kent : There's always another way.

• Lois Lane : Boys, he's gonna be okay.

  Jonathan Kent : Mom... Edge just took off with him.

  Lois Lane : I know.

  Jordan Kent : He said we'll never see him again.

  Lois Lane : Yeah, I know, honey, and I know how scary that sounds. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but your dad has been in worse spots than this, and he always gets through them. I've been dealing with this for 20 years. Trust me. Your dad will fight through this, and he will win. It's not gonna do either of you any favors by staying up all night. Try to get some sleep.

• Jordan Kent : Where are you?

  Superman : The Badlands.

  Morgan Edge : [picking him up by the throat]  You think your boy can help you?

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, what's wrong?

  Morgan Edge : If you send anyone for your father, know this: he won't be the man they find waiting.

  Jonathan Kent : Is he still alive?

  Jordan Kent : We need to go. We need to go right now.

• Jonathan Kent : [watching the DOD soldiers]  Have you heard anything that they've said?

  Jordan Kent : They got nothing. All this state-of-the-art tech and, uh, they can't do anything.

  Jonathan Kent : We can, though. Jordan, listen. When Dad was attacked by John Irons, you heard him, and then we found where he was.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, they were a couple miles away.

  Jonathan Kent : So?

  Jordan Kent : So, Dad could be anywhere in the entire world.

  Jonathan Kent : Why does that matter?

  Jordan Kent : I-It just does.

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, Dad said that he could hear all of the-the fluctuations in the collective sonic frequency.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, but he also said that it took years of training at the Fortress in order to do that.

  Jonathan Kent : Jordan, listen to me. This is just like punching that training log in the cellar, okay? It's just like it. You could do it, but you had to believe you could do it. And you can do this, too.

  Jordan Kent : Yeah, well, there's too many people here.

  Jonathan Kent : Okay, so let's find a spot. Come on, you can do this.

• John Diggle : You can't try to kill Superman. You sure as hell can't use A.R.G.U.S. tech to do it.

  John Henry Irons : The tech is mine. A.R.G.U.S. is simply providing the ammo.

  John Diggle : I'm sorry, who the hell are you?

  General Sam Lane : This is John Henry Irons. He's helping us coordinate a fallback plan if we run out of time.

  John Henry Irons : Which looks more and more likely.

  Lois Lane : That's not true. I just spoke with one of Edge's former subjekts who confirmed it's possible to fight back against eradication.

  John Henry Irons : Possible? Maybe. Not probable.

  Lois Lane : This is the proof that we needed.

  John Henry Irons : Are you really gonna gamble on the fate of your world?

  John Diggle : Wait, wait. You're from another Earth?

  General Sam Lane : Yeah, he is.

  John Diggle : You and I are gonna have a serious conversation about this, General.

  Jordan Kent : [running in]  Mom, Mom.

  Jonathan Kent : We need to talk.

  Jordan Kent : It's important.

• Superman : Hey.

  Lois Lane : Hey, yourself.

  Superman : [kissing, then to the boys]  All right, you two.

  [hugging them] 

  Superman : You did good.

  Jordan Kent : It was all his idea. We were just trying to think, what would you do?

  Jonathan Kent : How'd you do it, Dad? How'd you break free?

  Superman : Thought about you guys, remembered what I was fighting for. I had a little bit of help.

  [the Steel armor lands behind them] 

  Superman : It's okay. It's okay. He's on our side.

  John Henry Irons : [disengaging the helmet]  Lois.

  Lois Lane : [mouthing]  Thank you.

  Superman : John, you've, uh, you've actually met our kids before.

  John Henry Irons : Ah, yeah, I remember. Nice to do this under better circumstances.

  Jonathan Kent : Thank you. And, uh, I never said sorry about hitting you with a truck. No... no hard feelings.

  John Henry Irons : [with a laugh]  The good news is, Morgan Edge is in a state-of-the-art military prison. He's never gonna hurt anyone again.

• Jordan Kent : So, Dad said he was somewhere in the Badlands. Do you think that's enough information to find him?

  General Sam Lane : If your dad's still in that desert, we'll know soon enough.

  Jonathan Kent : There's one more thing.

  Jordan Kent : Jon.

  Jonathan Kent : We have to tell 'em. Look, Edge... Edge told Jordan that if anyone went looking for Dad, it wouldn't be him they'd find.

  General Sam Lane : Boys, you've done great work here. Can you give your mom and me a minute?

  Lois Lane : It's okay.

  [the boys leave] 

  Lois Lane : He was bluffing. He had to be.

  General Sam Lane : Lois.

  Lois Lane : Dad, please.

  General Sam Lane : Honey, I don't have a team equipped to take on numerous Kryptonians and win. I have to shift my priorities, treat this as I would any other global threat, make the same decision I would if it were anybody else. When we locate them, I'm sending John in.

  [before she can argue] 

  General Sam Lane : I'm sorry.
