Thanks, Philip, but what about the first line:
What has he done? What has he done?

He says, "what has he done?" after popping the trunk. Is there something in the trunk that elicits this question? If it's a body, "what has he done?" would be just a question of wonderment: what is happening, what has happened, what does this mean, why did he do this, etc.

No, you've got me wrong, Philip. He says 'Ah, Lex, what has he done? What has he done?'
But he says it before popping the trunk. After he pops it he sees he's faithful servant laying inside.
Lex tells Lionel (his father) next time to call him and ask him himself for financial matters not to send
his servants to investigate. After that Lionel says 'Lex, well done!'
