That would be your department...
Clark: Think I finally have something for the front page.
Tess: An article?
Clark: I found a stack of missing person
cases that no one's talking about. Forsaken cases?
This city is being attacked, and no one seems to care.
Tess: Kind of makes you wish the Red-blue Blur
wasn't sitting down on the job. Not to do his job?
I can't print this. They're called facts, Clark,
and you don't have any.
Clark: You don't care about these victims?
You're sweeping this under the rug. Cover it up?
Tess: Great. Another conspiracy theory,
'cause I love those. Look closely. You will not find a web of lies
behind this facade. Is she refering to her face by facade?
And does she mean she's not hiding anything?
That would be your department. You're the expert?
