Lex Luthor:
Johns Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic. My father's knocked on the door of every major medical institution in the Western world and was sent home each time without a cure.

Chloe Sullivan:
I'm sensing you're having second thoughts. Lex, I understand if you want to back out. I mean, he needs to be punished for what he did, but he's still your father, and he's dying.

Lex Luthor:
Yeah. And he's gonna draw his last breath in prison, not the VIP suite at Metropolis General. But only you're still willing to go through with this.

Chloe Sullivan:
I don't think I like the sound of this.

Lex Luthor:
Chloe, a dying man has little to lose. My father used a bizarre blood platelet cocktail to raise the dead, then pinned the murders of the research team on his son. Who knows what tactics he'll use to avoid going to prison?

Chloe Sullivan:
Yeah, but the FBI guaranteed our safety. I mean, they're putting me and my father in protective custody until after the trial.

Lex Luthor:
Then what?

Chloe Sullivan:
Lex, are you trying to scare me?

Lex Luthor:
I'm worried about you, Chloe. I want you to have all the facts before you walk into that courtroom.

Chloe Sullivan:
Your father's intimidated me long enough. I'm not backing down.
