[WOMAN ON TV] Morgan Edge's accusation of Lena Author.
Eve: Ms. Luthor, is there anything I can get for you?
Lena: Call the CDC and get every report they have on the outbreak. I also need the victims' medical reports and I wanna see every bit of data Morgan Edge has seen.
Eve: Right away. And, uh, I'm so sorry.
Kara: There has to be another explanation. There could be hundreds of other reasons why these kids are getting sick besides your device. I mean, Edge is manipulating people to get revenge on you for buying CatCo. He's ruthless, Lena, you know that. Lena: Look, what if it's true, okay? I told Supergirl that the lead in the device was safe for humans. She wouldn't have used it if it wasn't safe. Kara: Yes, but using it saved all of us
James: Ms. Luthor.
Lena: Mr. Olsen. Come to tell Kara "I told you so"?
James: [SIGHS] Another Luthor takes innocent lives, news at 11? Ms. Luthor, despite our differences, I would hope by now that you would recognize that I see you as more than just an extension of your brother. However, I do think that you should get ahead of this thing. Which, in my opinion I think you should step down from CatCo, so whatever we report, good or bad, comes off as truthful. Kara: No, that would look like an admission of guilt.
Lena: No, Kara, he's right. Whatever's happening, whoever's responsible, this is a public crisis. And the public deserves to be able to trust the reporting so that they can prepare themselves. They expect integrity from us. They deserve it, and they need it now more than ever. Mr. Olsen, you will run CatCo until this is resolved, and I think I should also step down from L-Corp.
Sam: Lena, we need you. We need you to help guide the research.
Lena: No, no, L-Corp has a brain trust that's more than capable, okay?
If I'm involved, I could be accused of covering things up, or even profiting from the sick. [SIGHS] This can't be like Flint, Michigan, okay, where bureaucracy got in the way. Helping people has to be the focus.
Angry Father:Where is she? Where's Lena Luthor?
Eve: Sir! Sir, please calm down.
Angry Father: I need to see her. She needs to answer for my son. You know he stopped breathing? They had to put a tube down his throat. My boy is 12 years old. He is supposed to be laughing, outside playing, not stuck in some hospital with the doctors telling me they don't know how to fix him. You rich people, you think you can do whatever you want, that we don't matter. My son matters. Lena: I am sorry. I- -
Angry Father: You're sorry? You're gonna answer for what you did to my son. For what you did to all of them. Lena: [SHUDDERS] I want your best reporter reporting this. I'm not hiding anything. Set a press conference for later today.
