Let's do this.
Be right with you.
Hello?
Hey, fellas.
Hercules.
- What happened in there? - I don't know. Get him inside.
Load up.
- Where the hell is Einstein? - Call him back.
Hey, this is Chloe. I'm not in right now.
Leave a message, I'll get back to you.
Chloe, it's lo. I'm out of the dorm and on my way back to the kents',
but I'm still getting mail at your place. Can you bring it by in the morning?
Okay, thanks.
[Fihuds]
Oh, my god. What have I done?
Oh, my god.
Okay.
I didn't see you, okay? We're gonna get you out of here.
Okay.
You're gonna be fine. I know you're gonna be fine.
Everyone I've ever hit was all right.
J“ somebody save me j“
j“ let your warm hands break right through it j“
j“ somebody save me j“
j“ I don't care how you do it j“
-j“ just stay, stay j“ -j“ stay with me j“
j“ come on, I've been waiting for you j“
j“ to stay with me j“
j“ I made this whole world shine for you j“
j“ stay, stay j“
j“ come on j“
Shh.
Hey, I was just getting in. What are you guys doing up?
We seem to have a visitor. A hungry visitor.
Hey, he's supposed to be tied up...
In the barn.
I chained him to a post so that I could get my stuff out of the car and, well...
I had him chained right there.
Okay, that's just bad wood.
That's not my fault.
How'd that post break?
Oh, my allergies.
Where did you say you found him?
Actually, I kind of...
- Hit him. - You hit him?
- With your car? - No, with my fist.
I was gonna call the vet, but when I got in just now, he seemed fine.
You need to make some fliers in the morning.
Maybe we can figure out who he belongs to. He's got a collar.
I'm sure somebody's missing him.
Fine with me.
Actually, it might be fun to have a dog around.
Maybe if we can't find the owner, we'll keep him.
We'll just see what happens tomorrow.
Yeah, don't get too attached.
I'm going to bed.
We should all get some sleep.
- You know, I'm gonna do my chores. - It's 3:00 in the morning.
Since Lois is staying here, if I'm gonna do my work at super-speed,
I have to do it when she's not looking.
All right, then why don't you start with that.
Come on.
Well, at least I don't have to hide anything from you.
- Hey, Chloe. - Hey.
Lois had her mail fonnarded to my apartment. Is she around?
- Yeah, she's probably still in the shower. - Hi. Who's the puppy?
We don't know his name. Lois found him.
She's bringing home strays now, huh?
- How is the new tenant? - Lois?
Well, she re-recorded our answering machine. She uses all the hot water.
Oh, and she took over my bedroom. She's doing great.
Okay. How are you?
I don't know. It's just kind of hard to be myself with her around.
Yeah, but now you got this guy.
You can be yourself around him, right?
And I'm always around.
It's cold.
- I'm gonna go see if I can find her. - All right. I'll be right in.
Okay.
Come on.
We'll see if this will hold you.
Good boy.
Stay.
Holy...
Looks like you got a secret too.
Where are you from?
You're a good boy.
- What did you do? - What?
Oh, it must have rolled.
Through a fence?
Yeah. Weird, huh?
- Yeah. - Yeah, weird.
But, I mean, it happens.
You know, the emergency brake must have slipped or something.
- It's old. You know, it's an old tractor. - It is old.
Anyway, I'm gonna get going. I'll see you guys around.
I was just playing with skippy here.
- We're not gonna call him "skippy." - Okay, what would you like to call him?
Let's see.
He's annoying, and I can't get within 10 feet of him without getting sick.
I think we should call him "clarky."
Come here, clarky. Come here, boy.
I made some fliers. He can be somebody else's allergy now.
We won't have to use those. I found one of those microchip ID tags under his skin.
- They can scan it at the animal shelter. - I spent all morning on these.
I'll be right back. I have to tell my parents something.
Don't give me that look.
Clarky.
We should probably get your mom a new pot roast while we're out.
Sit, clarky.
Good dog.
Hey, shh!
- How can I help you guys? - We found this dog.
Actually, I found him.
Well, hit him, actually.
- We call him clarky. - We don't call him clarky.
Is it the "y" part you don't like? We could always just make it "Clark."
That would get really confusing.
Hey, maybe you should consider changing your name.
You could be "skipper."
Anyway, we think he might have an ID chip.
We're wondering if you could scan it for us.
If it's not too much trouble.
Well, sure, I guess.
Whoa. Easy boy.
He doesn't seem to have a lot of love for you.
Maybe I should do that.
Bless you.
- LuthorCorp. - You're kidding.
Must be one of those lab dogs or something.
Lab dogs?
I'd be happy to take him off your hands and return him.
Actually, you know what...
That's okay. We'll take care of it.
Thanks. That's okay.
Come on, boy. Come on.
I should get your name and address, though,
in case someone from LuthorCorp calls.
It's policy.
Would you mind taking him to the farm. I'm gonna go talk to Lex.
Terrific.
Come on. Let's go sneeze a while.
Heel, clarky.
Hey, Josh.
Guess who just showed up.
Einstein.
Yeah. Some guy named Clark Kent's keeping him out on his farm.
That's good news, little brother.
Because I was thinking we'd have to Rob that truck tomorrow
with just this dummy.
Why do you have to do that?
What do you care?
It's just a dog.
How's he doing anyway?
He has a couple of hours left, long enough to get Einstein back.
Then we can shoot them both up...
And get their strength back for tomorrow.
So how come you guys couldn't get the effect to last longer anyway?
I don't know, Zack. I was just a trainer.
Plan's back on, little brother.
Let's close up shop, huh?
Yeah, sure.
Genevieve.
What a surprise.
If you're looking for Jason, I sent him to Metropolis on a business errand.
Actually, I came here to see you, Lex.
I didn't realize we had any more business to discuss.
Drink?
I take it my son has proven to be a good hire.
Excellent.
He's taken a real passion for the project I've given him.
I gather this project does not require him to relocate out of Smallville.
Highly doubtful.
I underestimated you, Lex.
It's a common mistake.
But not one I usually make.
It seems that headstrong young men
have become my blind spot.
First Jason...
And now you.
You asked me to give Jason a position at LuthorCorp.
I'm not sure I understand your problem.
You know exactly why I wanted you to hire Jason.
To get him away from Lana lang.
But instead, you decided to co-opt him for your own purposes.
Genevieve...
Paranoia is not a very attractive quality in a woman.
I'm just trying to protect my son.
Maybe you should get together with my father and write a parenting book.
I bet it'd be a bestseller.
Then you're no longer interested
in how your father was released from prison.
I've chosen to believe my father truly is reformed.
Therefore, the question of his guilt or innocence no longer bothers me.
But it's great seeing you again, Genevieve.
And you too, Lex.
Give my best to Jason.
It's a shame he won't be able to help you
find what you're looking for.
It's hard to believe he's as strong as Clark says he is.
He certainly is a beautiful dog.
Wait a minute. I know what you're thinking.
It might be nice for Clark to have a dog. It's been a lonely year for him.
Wait a minute. Then what happens when Clark goes off to college next year?
Who winds up having to take care of that dog? Me.
Lois, it's time for dinner!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
You see?
Well, remember when Clark did that? He was only 3.
It's not funny. Hey.
- Would you...? Hey! - What happened?
That's my t-bone.
Bad dog.
Clark, grab a stick. I was just about to break.
Lex, is LuthorCorp doing experiments on dogs?
- I'm not sure that's any of your business. - Lois found a stray dog.
It has a LuthorCorp ID tag.
Are you?
When I took over the company, I found quite a few irregular experiments
being conducted at my father's request.
One of them involved animal testing.
What were they doing?
If I remember correctly,
they were mixing meteor rock with a steroid to enhance canine strength.
Why would your dad be interested in making super-powered dogs?
If I understood my father's insanity, Clark, I'd be a much happier man.
But I suppose in this case there were military applications.
I'll never really know for sure. The results were inconclusive.
I had animal rights activists picketing the site, so I closed it down.
I was told the dogs were destroyed.
Evidently, not all of them.
Is it exhibiting any problems?
Is that your way of asking me if it has super strength?
No, I assume you'd tell me that
because I'd have quite a liability on my hands if he did.
The dog's perfectly healthy.
Well, then I'm sure the Kent farm will be a perfect home for him.
Sorry about dinner. I guess it's just sandwiches tonight.
Jonathan?
Jonathan!
Stay back!
Jonathan!
- My god, Jonathan! - Get back!
Martha.
- Get away! Get away! - No!
- Get away from him! - Get back.
Martha, don't!
Sweetheart.
Mr. Kent.
Are you all right?
Lois, get the car keys. We have to take him to the hospital.
Dad. What did they say?
The doctor said he'd never seen a dog that could bite through bone before.
God, look at this.
Owner's in a coma. He was attacked by something that pulverized a steel door.
- Police think it's a bear, but... - You think it was the dogs.
Someone's obviously controlling these dogs and using them.
Only people that knew we had the dog were Lex and that guy at the shelter.
Since the boy billionaire probably doesn't Rob convenience stores...
- We should check it out. - Let's do that in the morning.
All right. Clark, give me a hand signing out, would you?
Look, son, I know that you're really attached to this dog.
I'm worried he could be dangerous.
- I know. That's why I have to stop them. - No. Clark...
Son, it won't make any difference.
If they had anything to do with putting that man in a coma,
then they're gonna have to be put down.
Dad, when you and mom found a super-powered boy in a cornfield
you didn't give up on me just because I might be dangerous.
You raised me. You gave me a chance.
He's a good dog, dad.
Someone's just using him to do bad things.
We should give him a chance.
I want you to leave here with me tonight.
Why?
Because of countess Margaret Isobel Thoreaux?
You know that name, don't you?
Is this what Lex has you doing,
researching 17th century witches?
You're incapable of giving a straight answer, you know that?
So apparently, when Isobel was condemned to die,
she vowed to rise again through one of her descendants.
You knew that that was Lana, didn't you?
That's why you had me bring her to Isobel's tomb in Paris.
Because you knew that if she received the Mark, then she was the one.
Which means it's my fault that everything's happening to her.
You can't blame yourself.
How could you use me like that?
- Look, it's not safe for you to stay here. - Well, I'm not leaving Lana.
Perhaps you'll change your mind when you hear the rest of the story.
Isobel was condemned by a woman named gertrude.
Isobel vowed that when she Rose from the dead,
that she would wipe out all of gertrude's heirs.
We're gertrude's ancestors, Jason.
So you think that Lana's going to kill you?
But Isobel will. And who knows when she'll return.
Mother, I walked out on Lana once before.
I'm not gonna do it again.
Then you're in love with a girl...
That may kill our entire family.
What is this, an obstacle course?
Oh, crap.
Do you see him anywhere? Come here, clarky.
Come here, boy.
Wow. Could the dander get any thicker in here?
You know, I've been thinking.
Clarky might have had something to do with that store,
but I don't think he hurt that guy. Wasn't any blood when I found him.
We're not calling him clarky, okay?
We'll call him bear or bandit or something.
No, and no.
What is all this?
LuthorCorp payroll. They're gonna hit an armored truck.
It's happening now. Call the police.
- I'll see if I can catch up with them. - Hold on, Forrest Gump.
What are you gonna do, run? We brought my car.
- Lois, look... - We can call the cops on the way.
You are so weird sometimes.
Can you go a little bit faster?
You were gonna be hoofing it about 10 minutes ago.
Besides, I don't want to hit anything.
- It should be right here. - Well, it's not.
Let's go. Come on.
Just the money. Grab the money.
Stop yelling at me. I got the bags, okay?
- Wait. Turn left. Turn left. - —why?
Another one of your famous hunches, or are we just on a little scenic route?
- Okay, stop here. - Where?
- Here. Stop here. - Okay.
Shut up!
- Grab the bags. Let's go. - I am.
Come on, faster.
- Those guys don't look so good. - Forget about the guards.
Just the money, let's go.
All right, come on.
Buckle up, little brother.
Come on.
Can you go see if you can help those guards?
It's all right, buddy. We'll get you out of here.
What's he barking about?
In five minutes, it won't matter. We burn the truck, the dogs, everything.
- All the evidence. - What?
We're gonna be in the keys before anyone knows we're gone.
- Where's Einstein? - What the hell?
It's that guy from the animal shelter.
Well, well, well.
Looks like someone has some explaining to do.
Well, you just had to be a hero, didn't you?
Sometimes heroes get burned.
- Are you sure about this? - He saw us. We can't let him walk.
- This wasn't part of the plan. - The plan's working, okay?
We got the money, and we're almost out of here.
You're not gonna chicken out on me now, are you?
I didn't think so. Come on.
You got all the bags out of the truck?
Make a wish, little brother.
Going somewhere?
This guy's quite a hero from what I understand.
Yeah. I hope my dad lets me keep him.
You didn't notice anything unusual about any tests you ran on him, did you?
Like what?
He just seems really strong sometimes, and he likes to get into things.
Well, if anything, I'd say his strength is a little below average.
You got a perfectly normal, healthy dog there.
- Have you thought of a name yet? - I was thinking of "krypto."
Interesting name.
Well, I better be going.
- Thanks, Dr. Klein. - You're welcome.
Krypto.
What's it mean?
Friendly.
It's because his background is so cryptic.
Speaking of his background,
I went out to the scene of the robbery and saw my armored truck.
From the look of the doors,
I assume it was the handiwork of some very strong dogs.
You said I could keep him when you thought he was a failed experiment.
If the experiment didn't fail, this dog could be dangerous.
But he's not dangerous now.
He saved my life.
I'll take my chances on his loyalty.
So you mind telling me why I was up until 2 in the morning
researching Jason's family tree?
I mean, not that it wasn't halfway interesting.
It's just, you definitely got your place
in the guinness book of strangest last-minute requests.
I, uh...
Saw him downstairs talking to his mom.
It was obviously a heated discussion,
but when he came up, he didn't even mention it.
- You hear what they were talking about? - No.
But it clearly rattled him.
Chloe, he's keeping something from me.
I don't even know who I can trust anymore.
Did you find anything?
Not much.
I mean, I could only go back as far as his mom's grandmother.
After that, it's like someone just chopped off
a part of the family tree. There's nothing there.
I can tell you that she comes from a town called castelnau de montmiral,
but that's all I know. Except that...
Lana, are you okay?
Chloe...
This is the town that my ancestors come from.
And Isobel Thoreaux.
Well, on a scale of weird to 10,
Genevieve's grandmother is the one who moved Isobel's tomb
into that church in Paris.
Why would anyone move a witch's tomb into a church?
I think that's something you need to ask Jason.
If you're looking for my son, he's not here.
- I'm just returning something. - Yes, yes.
How's the research coming?
- I'm not sure I know what you mean. - Yes, you do. I mean Isobel.
I understand your hesitation.
When I found out that you'd been hired by my son,
I put a few of the pieces together and saw the connection.
You, um...
You're Genevieve teague's boy?
Of course.
You can't trust her, Jason.
Of course you can't trust my son either, but I think you know that.
I suppose you're gonna tell me I can trust you, though.
- What's this? - Open it.
I think it might help you.
Done.
Ah, took you long enough.
Now you just have to fix the dining room table, the window, the fence.
J“ give a little bit of your love to me... j“
I thought bathing him was supposed to help with my allergies.
- Maybe you're allergic to the soap too. - Maybe I'm allergic to you.
Can you grab me a towel, please?
What are we gonna call him? And don't give me this skipper crap.
I was thinking we'd call him krypto.
Why, because he's so cryptic, like you?
- Why not? - Because I think it's dumb.
You can call your next dog krypto.
Look, it's not that hard. Max, lucky, rocky, baily, scamp, monte, bud.
Hey, you're gonna have to pick one of those if you wanna keep him.
Really?
Come on.
When I was a little girl, we had a dog that looked just like this one.
Maybe that's why I liked him so much right away.
His name was Shelby.
- I can live with that. - Well, it beats clarky.
Come on, Shelby, let's go outside.
J“ so send a smile, we 're on our way back home j“
j“ what you need j“
j“ yeah, come along too j“
j“ what you need j“
j“ come along too j“
j“ such a long ride j“
j“ come a long way j“
j“ oh, sing it tonight j“
