Tess Mercer:
Hack yourself silly. You'll never crack my system.

Chloe Sullivan:
This isn't so much cracking as it is bleeding out.

Chloe Sullivan:
This is the digital equivalent to the Ebola virus.

Tess Mercer:
You take down my firewalls, and you'll be exposing Clark to much greater dangers than you can even imagine. I've done everything in my power to postpone this, but the day has finally come. The tower is ready. It's linked up to the satellites. The countdown has started, and in T-minus 18 hours, the atmosphere will turn red and the Kandorians will have their powers. But I've lost my faith in Zod. If Clark joins them, he can rule over all the Kandorians, even Zod. But you and I have to work together.

Chloe Sullivan:
It's quite the offer. Let me think about it.

[punches Tess]

Chloe Sullivan:
I'm sorry, but embracing the red skies definitely violates my no-conspiring-with-baddies policy.
