Now everything begins to come together!
As Clark released his grip on Jack, he asked, "What's your name?"
"Jack."
"Just Jack?"
"Yeah, just Jack." He looked at Clark again and asked, "Is the globe yours?"
"I've been keeping it … for a friend."
Jack asked, "How does it work? Who's the guy with Superman's 'S' on his shirt?"
I don't care what anybody says, Jack was a smart cookie and probably put two and two together and came up with Superman.
"Something interesting … he said that he could see the hologram, but he didn't hear anything."
Lois sighed with relief, "Thank heaven for small favors. At least he didn't hear Jor-El. Which doesn't change anything. What if someone else will hear it? You've got to get the globe back before it gives up any more information about your past."
In the episode Lex and Nigel were able to see and hear Jor-El they even mentioned it was better than cable. So this has to be something you came up with.
"Lois, that's a pretty tall order. You're talking over a hundred floors."
"I would think that you could concentrate on his office and quarters, maybe the floors immediately below. I don't think he's going to allow it too far from his person."
"At this point he's had probably twelve hours or so to hide it."
"Any lead lined enclosures would, of course, be suspect," Lois offered.
"Lois, I can't just go barging in there and ripping open lead lined safes. That would require the police and a search warrant. In order to get that we would need probable cause. Now, if Jack would identify Luthor as the person that bought it, that would be probable cause, but he won't. He claimed he doesn't know who it was."
"I'm going to head on in to the office, you my dear husband, need to go look over Luthor's lair. I'll meet you at the Planet. If you spot the globe, you need to recover it, no matter what. If Luthor tries to have you arrested, he'll have to prove that the globe is his and not yours, which will be impossible for him to do."
This exchange is perfection!
They work so well together as a team, solving a very big mystery!
"I know, Perry, but if we can get the goods on him, it will blow the lid off of the rackets in Metropolis, but good. We could be talking Pulitzer here."
Perry sat back in his chair, stunned. He started to smile and said, "That big, huh?"
"Yeah, that big."
"If you and that husband of yours can pull this off, it'll be the coup of the century."
Good exchange between Lois and Perry!
