Season 1, Episode 1: Fate of a World

Jor-El is in the chamber where Krypton's authoritative figures hold important meetings. He stands before the Kryptonian Council in an urgent manner of some sort.

Jor-El: "Krypton's core is unstable. This planet might self-destruct at any moment. We must act now. "

Council Member Jul-Us: "You have no proof of this. You have a great reputation among our numbers but if you pursue in this endeavor, we will have no choice but to charge you with treason."

Council Member Al-An: "I'm afraid Jul-Us is right. An act of treason will in no doubt, subject you to banishment to the phantom zone. A zone you created for Krypton's finest criminals."

Jor-El: "Then that is what I must risk to save our kind from destruction."

One of the council members picks up a hammer and strikes it on the concrete panel.

Al-An: "Enough. The council has heard enough. Your claims are causing unease to the rest of the members of our council. This kind of rumor, if spread, will cause panic among the citizens of Krypton. Guard! Please Escort Jor-El to his quarters."

Council Member Sor-Ay: "And in addition we have no choice but to strip you of your credibility as Krypton's most revered scientist. As of now, you will be under close guard in your home and will not be allowed to leave under any circumstances. This meeting is adjourned!

Each council member heads back to their quarters while Jor-El is being escorted by a burly Kryptonian guard to his quarters where Lara awaits him.

Jor-El enters his crystal like home.

Lara: "Jor-El. How did it go?"

Jor-El: "I'm afraid my colleagues are rather stubborn. They think I'm stirring up these claims out of thin air."

Lara: "Don't worry darling. They'll come around and when they do, they will see the error of their ways."

Jor-El: "I'm afraid it will be too late by then, my sweet. Since the council won't heed my warning they are unknowingly putting this whole planet at risk. The risk is imminent to all who live here, whether they are innocent or guilty. If Krypton is no more, I cannot let our son, Kal-el fall into the same fate. He is innocent in all of this. No matter what happens to us, we must preserve the life of our child at any cost."

Lara: "Your right. He hasn't even begun to live. He has much more to offer in life rather than in death."

Jor-El walks over to the crib where baby Kal-el lies. Kal-el is shaking a rattle with the "S" insignia imprinted on its surface.

Jor-El picks up his son and holds him in his arms.

Jor-El: "My son. My precious heir of the House of El. Your life means more to me compared to the lives of Lara and me. That is why I have labored hard in the past weeks to build you a vessel that will send you to a planet called Earth."

Lara: "Are you sure Earth is the right place for our son?"

Jor-El: "My love, it is the only descent place I know of. It may be primitive compared to our planet but from my research, it is not very different from our world. The only difference in our two planets is that, it possesses a yellow sun while we possess a red one. This particular sun will give Kal-El great powers and will give him an advantage to all on Earth."

Jor-El walks to the spaceship carrying baby Kal-el and puts him in there. He takes a crystal and puts it on top of the star-shaped craft. The spaceship activates and makes a whirring sound. It begins to hover in the air, slowly moving upwards.

Jor-El looks at the smiling face of his son.

Jor-El: "Kal-El you will be a beacon of hope for all on Earth. We may not be with you in flesh but our spirits will forever guide you, as you journey across the galaxy to a new world."

What Jor-El didn't know was that the remaining power source he used for the spaceship's journey would drain the core of Krypton and accelerate its self-destruction.
