Lockwood, Otis and others in “Unfinished Business”

Lockwood

I seem to recall you telling me that Supergirl was dead.

Otis

We never said it was official.

Mercy

We'll make her dead. The plan still stands.

Lockwood

Well, your plan is small.

Mercy

Excuse me?

Lockwood

You want to show people that aliens are monsters. That's good, but you don't do that by attacking their protectors, the police, the DEO. Yeah, that will make them afraid. That'll make them feel fear, up here, in their mind. What you need to do is make them feel it in their bones.

Mercy

And how do you plan on doing that, exactly?

Lockwood

You show them that they need to be afraid for their children.
