Zod approaches Clark now, angry and not noticing the theft of the Legion ring. "You chose to fight me. You forced me to unleash my power! We could have made this planet a paradise!"

Clark no longer fears Zod, and grabs his jacket lapels. "It already was."

His lack of fear proves fatal. It's been so long since he's felt the sting of kryptonite, he forgot that Zod still had the knife. Until he feels the blade slide into his chest, under his ribs.
