So I stopped acting like a victim and I started thinking like a reporter.
I don't get it.
I'm gonna have to suspend you.
- Lois, you know... - That was fast. I just called.
Well, now, it couldn't hurt to try, Miss Jefferson.
...gets good jobs and quality education.
Lois, you used every means to protect his identify.
How do you respond?
- Who's Al? - He's the guy we helped in the subway.
I think he's in Idaho covering the Spud Festival.
You know, it's funny.
Speaking of which, how is the war chest?
Dad, we have a reporter here who covers trends in agriculture.
- Bless you. - May I have some tissue?
Winning this election is Thorpe's first step in getting Hansen to the White House.
What? Not from my article. I wrote it as vague as possible.
Suddenly, he's dead and I'm sitting here playing checkers with you.
I'll make you a deal, Miss Lane.
I'm feeling much better now, thank you. I appreciate it.
Perry wants us down there right away. Taxi!
I don't understand.
- Mom, that's really not a good idea. - Clark, Lois is right.
It's a slow news day.
Lois, you gotta understand something.
That's our next lead unless you tell us where Stuart is.
But why kill him here?
I think he said he had to phone in the story.
Okay, if we're right, and Thorpe tried to kill you...
Believe me, Mr. Thorpe, I had nothing to do...
It's just my exterminator.
Oliver's my best friend. I'd trust him with my life.
...if such a report exists, and it does not.
- Would you like to meet him? - Yeah.
- Is that all right with you, Lois? - Well...
- Lois Lane? - Yes.
That's all that we're gonna say for now.
Lois, you and Clark cover that press conference.
Sit down, Stuart.
I appreciate what you're trying to do, Clark...
Could we speak with this alleged source?
My name is Stuart Hofferman. May I speak to you for a moment?
And "uh-oh" means that you don't know the code?
We've received a tip from a source that implicates one of our competitors.
Because he's got Daniel Hansen in his hip pocket.
You told me you disposed of her.
Interesting report Hofferman has on his computer here.
That's right, you wouldn't.
Come on, Jonathan. Maybe a little popcorn will cheer you up.
