Andrea Rojas: We won't know how bad things really are for us until next week when the board decides to either pitch the launch of the phone, or... kill it completely. Papa's locked himself away in his lab till then. I've seen him bad before, but never like this. The way he looked yesterday... it scared me... Oh, how about you? How are things going at Luthor Corp?
Lena Luthor: You're not the only one with family business problems. Lex is completely unhinged. His obsession with Superman is out of control. He'll stop at nothing to kill him. And I'm very afraid that... a lot of people are gonna get hurt... or killed in the process.
Andrea Rojas: Can't you stop him?
Lena Luthor: He pushed me out. And Lex's latest plan is to seed the atmosphere with Kryptonite.
Andrea Rojas: What is Kryptonite?
Lena Luthor: According to Lex, it's Superman's great weakness.
Andrea Rojas: Can he do it?
Lena Luthor: No, not yet. First, he has to figure out how to subliminate it into vapor, but... he has this mad theory that an ancient alien element is gonna help him do that. I mean, this element crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago. All I need to do to... save humanity from Lex's madness is... find the element first.
[smiles]
Andrea Rojas: You already found it, didn't you?
Lena Luthor: [big smile] Thanks to you. Okay, so, do you remember your anthropology dissertation about the Aztec village that lived in the shadow of the volcano but never got covered in lava no matter how much the volcano erupted?
Andrea Rojas: You think that's where the alien element is?
Lena Luthor: I did an *intensive* satellite scan of the area, and I found...
[produces envelope from which she removes a report]
Lena Luthor: this.
Andrea Rojas: It's that symbol we used to draw. The Medallion of Acrata.
Lena Luthor: What are the odds that my mother's story would lead me to the one thing that has the property that I need to stop my brother?
Andrea Rojas: It's crazy.
Lena Luthor: It's fate!
