All language subtitles for No Ordinary Family - 01x05 - No Ordinary Earthquake

Every story has a beginning.

We were just an ordinary family until...
Hold on!

Oh, my God!

Something extraordinary
has happened.

You can jump just over a quarter
mile, can lift 11,000 pounds.

I'm fast.

I can hear people's thoughts.
I've got, like, this super-brain.

Any time you want
to tell mom and dad

you have genius powers,
let me know.

So you turned your garage into...

What every secret
crime-fighter needs... a lair.

Don't you see? I can
finally make a difference.

You thought you were the only one?

Find out who know about him,
and then take care of it.

Okay, be honest with me, Daphne.

What do you think
about these sneakers?

I think they look exactly
like the pair you just bought

three days ago. Can we go now?

As soon as I try them out.

Huh. Not bad.

They have good arch support.

Oh. I'm spending more money
on shoes than gas these days.

You know, if you think about it,

do you even really
need a car anymore?

Because a car would make a
perfect birthday present.

Mm. Or the perfect
incentive for you to get

a little something called a job.

These are pretty cool.
What do you think?

Dad, my old cleats are fine.

J.J., you're on the football team.

I think you earned a
new pair of cleats.

What if I told you I'm not
as good as you think I am?

For once in your life,
will you give yourself some credit?

You're good, really good,
and you didn't need

anyone's help to do it.
I'm proud of you, kid.

What's that?

Earthquake. Mom!

Big earthquake.

Everybody all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Help!

I can't get out!

Help! I can't move!

Dad! What?

If you pull that,
it'll crush her. Come here.

Okay, pull that straight out,

and don't let it touch anything.

- How do you...
- Dad, do it!

J.J., how did you
know how to do that?

Totally lucky guess.

Thank you.

Honey, if J.J. had powers,
he would've told us.

Then how do you explain
that life-size game of jenga

- ... he just played?
- That was a guess.

It was a demonstration of advanced
mechanical engineering.

Admit it, J.J.'s been different

- ever since we got back from Brazil.
- Yes, you're right.

He's been working harder to
compensate for the fact that

his entire family has been given
a superhuman gift except him.

Jim, our learning disabled son
is suddenly a b-plus student

and a varsity football player?

All right. Then...
then what's his gift?

Realizing his potential?
Steph, he looked us in the eye,

a- and he told us
nothing had changed.

Well, I want to test him.

I got a better idea.

Why don't you trust him?

We tried that. Look,
we have to know if he has powers.

So what are you gonna do, honey?

Y- you're gonna tell your
son you don't believe him,

and then what,
ask him for his D.N.A.?

I think I can come up
with a more subtle approach.

You want me to pee in a cup?

J.J., I told you,
in order to research our powers,

I need a control group with
the same filial D.N.A...

someone who doesn't
have powers, like you.

You must really think I'm stupid.

What, you want to test
me because you think

I'm lying to you?

No. No. No, J.J.

You're the only one who's still themselves,
and we need to know why.

Look, it's no big deal.
Just take the cup into the bathroom,

- turn on the faucet...
- Mom, I know how to pee.

Look, it's just that
I'm kinda late for school,

and I already went this morning.
I'll do it tomorrow.

I will drop it by the lab on the way home.
Okay. Tomorrow it is.

Caramel frapp, extra whip,
little mocha on top,

just how you like it.

George, thank you,
but we talked about this.

Yeah. You did something
to your hair, didn't you?

I... Yeah, you did. Oh, my God.
And it's working for you, girl.

No. And you know what?
The green, with your eyes...

George. Stop it.

- I can't keep talking about these cases.
- Why not?

You keep me informed.
I keep you caffeinated.

- We're a team. - Because it's
privileged information. That is why.

You're an A.D.A. Why don't you just
talk to the district attorney?

Why would I want to talk
to some pruny old man

- when I can talk to you?
- George.

Right. So tell me,
what is the inside intel on crime

in Pacific Bay? I'll leave you alone.
Just give me that.

Mnh. Fine. But this is
the last time, okay?

- The last time.
- All right.

They haven't released
it to the press yet,

but apparently there was
something rather unusual

about that earthquake yesterday,
as small as it was.

Okay, like what?

Like it wasn't one.

- Dr. Powell.
- Dr. King.

Excited for your big night?

Mm. I was, until I found
out how many board members

were flying in to honor,
well, a plant.

The reception's honoring you,
Stephanie.

Mm. You'll do great. Excuse me.

There's a slight crisis
that needs my attention.

How could there have
been a sector 7 breach?

Security was everywhere.
Three guards are in I.C.U. One is dead.

Realize we're dealing
with a deadly weapon,

one that needs to be
contained immediately.

No worries.

Something that powerful
can't stay hidden for long.

- Good morning, Katie.
- Good morning.

How's it coming along...

Well, that doesn't look like
the powerpoint presentation...

You're supposed to be
working on for my speech.

Well, that's 'cause it isn't.
It's way more interesting.

- Douglas Volson?
- This is the only trace

of the late doctor in the
entire Global Tech archives,

and considering that
he was researching

the same mutated chromosome
that your family has,

I decided to take a peek.

- And? - The entire thing is
encrypted with a 64-bit algorithm.

Mm. But in the unlikely event
that I can crack the code,

it may give us some insight into
his research on superpowers.

Great. I could really
use some answers...

Starting with my son.

- I think J.J. has abilities, too.
- J.J.?

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my God! That's fantastic.

What does he have?

Don't tell me.
Invisibility. No! Flying.

I knew it made no sense that
none of you were airborne.

I mean, that's, like,
the first thing your mind goes to.

No. Katie! Katie,
he can't fly, all right?

In fact, he's not even
admitting that he has powers,

which is why he's coming
in tomorrow to be tested.

So he's trying to maintain
his secret identity.

Most superheroes don't reveal their
alter egos to their families.

I'm his mother, Katie.

Interesting tidbit...
most superheroes don't have mothers.

Most of them are dead or
away on their home planet

or something like that.

You know, there are a
lot of coffee places

much closer to school
that are hiring.

And serve Bailey Browning

- and her skank friends? No, thanks.
- Is that...

What's Olivia doing here
with our English teacher?

Mr. Robbins, Olivia, hi.

Hi. Hi.

Megan, Daphne.

Thought it was a coincidence
running into Olivia.

- Uh, what brings you guys all the way out here?
- Job application.

Figure it's never too early
to start working for the man.

Y- yeah, me, too.
Uh, then I saw Mr. Robbins,

so I thought I'd harass him
about my book report grade.

Anyway, I should, um, go.

Right. Uh, good-bye, Olivia.

And I'll be sure to take
your grade under advisement.

Bye, Olivia. Bye.

Mr. Robbins, I didn't think
that you lived around here.

I don't.

Huge mistake meeting
her like this.

If they suspect anything,
I'm screwed.

No line.

Huh?

There's no line at the register.

Probably want to get
that application in.

Right. Um, bye, Mr. Robbins.

Yeah. Bye.

Oh, my God. They're so doing it.

- What? How do you know?
- Duh.

Don't you know the way
people act when they do it?

But Mr. Robbins is her teacher.

In more ways than one, I guess.

Listen to this. That
earthquake that you were in...

- Yeah? - The reason it wasn't
felt more than a few blocks away

from the store is because it
wasn't a natural disaster.

- It was man-made.
- What?

- At least that's what my sources tell me.
- You have sources?

What, you can have superpowers
and I can't have sources?

- This is what I do.
- Okay. So what else do your sources tell you?

Well, they're still
sifting through debris,

but investigators
think it was some

- ... sort of concussion grenade.
- It was no grenade, George.

No, no. Not the kind
that G.I. Joe uses, okay?

It's... it's like...
it doesn't use explosives.

It actually, like, sends out
an electromagnetic shock wave.

It almost killed my family.

Yeah, well, get this.

In the middle of all that quaking,
the in-store pharmacy was robbed.

Thousands of dollars of meds lifted.

The one thing is, it's usually
Navy seals, military commandos

tossing around these explosives,
not drugstore cowboys.

So, what, they're using the grenade
as some sort of diversion?

Exactly. So while families like yours

are at some pharmacy,
stocking up on supplies...

mom's buying 2-in-1 shampoos,

kids are begging for candy...
suddenly, without warning,

everyone's life is changed
with one simple boom.

Fearing for their lives,
the customers run out,

while the perp walks
in and helps himself

to whatever drugs he wants.

God help anyone who
tries be a hero.

Another pharmacy was hit.

Pay-rite on marine.
Pharmacist is dead.

Let's go, people!

Hey. I got your pee, man.

Dude. Are you kidding me?
Not here.

Is it yours?

Nah. I got stage fright.

But it's from a
reliable source, though.

What's going on
with you right now?

My parents are all over me.
Think I'm dopin' or something

just 'cause I'm on
the football team.

But if you're clean,

- what do you need this for?
- Uh, my asthma meds.

High probability of a
false positive. Oh.

And if that happens, I'm dead.

Well, this'll cover you,
I promise.

We're gonna get 'em off
your jock once and for all.

- All right. Thanks, dude. I owe you
big-time. See ya. - You owe me.

Oh, here comes Olivia.

I'm gonna launch a
light investigation.

Megan, don't. You're
the opposite of subtle.

Oh, hey, Olivia. Hey.

So weird running into
you at that coffee place

- way on the other side of town.
- Wh-what she means is,

first you run into Mr. Robbins
and then... We run into you.

They so don't get it.

Yeah. I guess.

I mean, me... I'd go anywhere
to meet Mr. Robbins

- for a cup of coffee.
- Subtle!

Look, if you guys think there's
something going on between us,

you couldn't be more wrong, okay?

They can't know about this.

God, I hope they
just leave me alone.

Sorry, Olivia.

Megan had too much sugar at lunch.

W- we should get to lineup.

Excuse me. Any updates?

As you know, my family
and I were on-site

for the first robbery,
so we're pretty curious.

It looks like another
concussion grenade.

This one took out the pharmacist,
shattered his spine.

- Guy was dead on impact.
- Any leads?

Yeah, we got a surveillance
tape we're analyzing.

Well, maybe I could
take a look at that.

I don't... you know,
sketch the guy?

What part of "we have him on tape"
didn't you understand?

Just trying to help.

We gotta get our hands
on that footage, George,

figure out what kind of lunatic

- we're dealing with here.
- I'd help if I could,

but I'm currently in between
sources at the moment.

Cordero won't let
us anywhere near it.

He's got it locked
away in evidence.

What?

- Seriously?
- Uh...

- No, n-n-n-no, no, no, George.
- Yeah!

No, no, no, no, no!
I can't break into evidence.

Even if I could get past the lock,
I'd be seen.

Not if you were
moving fast enough.

- Unh-unh. No.
- Yeah.

Just... George!

Stephanie would never help
me with something like that.

Hey. You cannot be too sure.

You never know until you ask.

Absolutely not.

Just because you've decided
to clean up the city

- doesn't make crime-fighting the
family business. - I understand.

George and I will figure
something else out.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll probably
have plenty of time

to plot strategy while
Jim's behind bars.

- Huh?
- Excuse me?

Actually, jail isn't where
they'd put someone like Jim.

More of a government
research facility

with that "Area 51"
kind of vibe... uh...

bright lights, metal slab.
You're a scientist.

You know the drill.

What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?

Uh, that's a pretty good question.

What Jim isn't telling you is
that that surveillance tape,

currently in the precinct's
evidence locker...

Jim, I will not keep the truth
from her any longer! I cannot!

- It's of your husband here using his powers.
- Oh, Jim.

- George.
- Stephanie...

He did not want to tell you,
but I can't lie to you.

It was just a matter of time

with all those risks
you've been taking.

I'm not the only one
around here taking risks.

Fine. I will get that tape for you,
but just this one time.

After that, you are on your own.

What?

Hey, just because you
won't lie to your wife

does not mean that I can't.

What's she gonna do
if she finds out,

make me sleep on the couch?
We got it!

J.J.! I'm sorry.
I didn't notice you there.

I've been spending hours
trying to crack the last wall

in this encrypted data code.

Anyways, I come bearing... this.

Huh. Ew.

This is the sample for
the control group?

Yes.

Looks complicated.

Complicated?

"Inception" made more sense.

I'm gonna take this to the lab

before it starts to smell like
my college dorm in here, okay?

Hi.

Whew. Sure is hot out there today.

Busy, busy, huh?

Must've blown open.

Let me get that for ya.

Once. Next time,
you're on your own.

I think that went pretty well.

Oh, yeah? Which part?
The part where you deceived my wife

into committing a felony?
You mean that part?

Here you go.

Check out Mr. Special Ops here.

That our guy.

That's not our guy.

That's our girl.

Mm. Hey.

Thanks for your help with
that thing yesterday.

- Couldn't have done it without you.
- So were you on the tape?

Uh, no. Unh-unh.
As it turns out, no. Uh, got lucky.

Okay, anybody wants a ride,
now's the time.

J.J., I want to hear about
your game this weekend.

All right. All right.
Bowls in the sink.

Oh, crap! Oh! Oh. No, uh,
it's all right. It's all right.

You can't be crying over
spilled milk, can you? Daph?

Mom, with these powers,
what do I do if I should

accidentally overhear
something that I shouldn't?

Well, if it involves your father,
me, or whatever I was thinking

when he got out of the shower the other day...
Ew. Gross! Uh...

I think Olivia Schaeffer is
sleeping with Mr. Robbins.

Your English teacher?
Uh, are you sure?

That's the thing.
Olivia didn't exactly confess.

In fact, she denied it.

But you read her mind.

This just isn't fair.
I just wanted a job,

not to get stuck in some
after-school special.

Oh, honey. You're right.
It's not fair.

And we didn't ask
for these powers,

but we've got them,
so now we have to do what's right.

- So I should say something?
- It's a very serious allegation.

You have to be absolutely certain.

Her name's Rebecca Jessup.

Police already have
an A.P.B. out on her.

Spent a year and a half in
prison for writing bad checks.

Got out early for good
behavior six months ago.

No history of violence.
No history of drug use.

This doesn't make sense.

Doesn't have to make sense.
She's stealing drugs.

She was probably as high
as the pizza delivery guy

- when she dreamed up this plan.
- Nah, it's a good theory,

only the drugs she's been
stealing don't get you high.

She stole carbamazepine.

Says here it's an
antiepileptic drug.

Why the hell is she
doing this, George?

Hi, Katie. I got your message.
You wanted to see me?

J.J., yes. Thank you for coming.

Do you notice anything different
about this lab today?

No.

No? Okay. Well, I'll tell you.

It contains one less
unsolved algorithm...

Thanks to you.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

J.J., yesterday when I took
your specimen for testing,

you cracked an encrypted
file in seconds,

and that can only mean one thing.

You came back from that trip
with superpowers, too.

You're a genius, aren't you?

Here's what I don't
understand, though.

Why would you lie to
your parents about it?

Oh! Oh! Uh, sweetheart,
what are you doing here?

Math tutoring with Katie.

Yep. Oh. Wow. You do that, too?
You're amazing.

Yeah. I saw the Volson file.
You cracked the code.

To be honest, I didn't
think you could do it,

- but, wow, you are a genius.
- It was no problem.

She's being way too modest.
You are being way too modest.

Truth is, I don't say this enough.

You are a tremendously
gifted scientist,

and I am so lucky to have
you working beside me.

I will see you at
home later. Great.

- Great job.
- Thank you.

Okay! That feeling that
you're having now...

That's the reason I didn't tell
my parents about my secret.

Because if they know
that I have powers

I'm not special
because of me anymore.

I'm just this kid with a
mutated gene, you know?

Okay. J.J., I'll cover
for you for now,

but you're gonna have to tell
her the truth, and soon.

Yeah. Oh! I-I got
your test results.

Well, you can go ahead
and give 'em to her,

because I know for a
fact that they're normal.

They are. Except for
one minor detail.

J.J., you're pregnant.

Mr. Robbins, can I speak
to you for a second?

If you need more time on your
"Pride and Prejudice" paper,

- just please...
- No. It's not that. I...

- I need to talk to you about Olivia.
- What about her?

Why were the two of you meeting
so far away from school...

Alone together?

I told you, it was a coincidence.

I bumped into you, too.
What, are you gonna read into that?

Please, Mr. Robbins, I'd like to
believe it's that simple, but...

Look, Daphne, I know you
have Olivia's best interests

at heart. I do.

But I would never get involved
with one of my students.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I thought all this lying would end

when I stopped sleeping with her.

You have my word.

See you next class.

Hey.

Hi.

I got J.J.'s test results back.

And?

Well, according to Katie,
he's normal.

See, I-I knew it.

I knew our boy would not lie,
not... not like that.

Wait a minute.

Something tells me you
still don't believe him.

Call it a scientific hunch
or mother's intuition,

but... but he's just
not the same boy he was

before we took our trip.

Yeah, but you tested him.
Katie gave you the results.

Hey, look, I don't want to be
right about this, all right?

You, me, and Daphne...
every day we are faced

with some new moral dilemma
because of our powers.

Do you think I want
J.J. to have to also?

I'm sorry. It's George.

Might be something,
you know, important.

Hey, George.

I got three words for you...
robbery in progress.

I'm kind of in the middle of
something with Steph right now.

Let the... let the cops deal w...
Jim! It's another pharmacy.

If the pattern holds,
there's gonna be another grenade.

No one else can do it!
It's gotta be you. Fifth and Main.

Go! Now.

She's probably leaving
the pharmacy right now.

You need to get to her
before the cops do.

Rebecca! Stop.

I know what you're doing.

You stay away from me.

Easy. I'm not gonna hurt you.

I know you won't.

That's why there were no bomb
fragments, no explosive residue.

She's the weapon.

First a teleporter.
Now a human earthquake.

Why do bad guys get
all the cool powers?

My powers are cool.
She must be hard-core, too,

'cause you're supposed to be
more powerful than a train.

It's a locomotive,

and I think you're confusing
me with someone else.

Uh, she could make these, like...

These sort of waves that, like...
with her hands...

Some sort of shock
waves or something.

Shock waves. Damn.

I know. Cool power.

Hey, yeah, but why is she using
it to steal epilepsy meds?

Maybe she's trying to control
her power somehow. Oh, jeez.

Hey, no sudden movement.
You might have a concussion.

Ought to get Steph to check you out.

- No, I can't tell her
what happened. - Why not?

As far as Steph knows...

Superpowers just
run in the family.

I haven't told her
there are others.

Wow, and you think
that I'm the one

that's good at lying to your wife.

Hey, J.J.

Kenny.

Yeah.

- I thought you said the pee you
gave me was 100% pure. - Yeah.

- It is. 100% pure girl.
- Dude,

I didn't think it mattered.
It's just...

- It does when the girl is pregnant.
- What?

- What? It's not like you're the
one who got busted. - No, no.

Dude, that pee that I gave you
belonged to my girlfriend.

What am I gonna do? Man,
my life is over. It's not that bad.

We used protection and everything.
It's gonna be okay.

Condoms are only effective
98% of the time.

If women are fertile
37% to 42% of the time,

application of standard deviation

actually raises your odds
of pregnancy to...

J.J.

Yeah, buddy?

Stop trying to make me feel better, man.

Daphne! What are you doing here?

Oh, I was just dropping
off a note for Mr. Loeb.

I have a question about
the European history exam.

You ever hear of e-mail?

I gotta go. My mom's making me
meet with a college counselor.

So lame. Bye.

Bye.

I don't get it.

Blueprints of some building.

What are architectural blueprints

doing on Volson's
computer disk-osaurus?

You know what?
Maybe we're missing something.

Do me a favor.
Run another decryption.

I doubt Volson went
to all this trouble

just to protect some blueprints.

Right. Right.

Uh... okay.

I'm just, um...

Gonna run this algorithm again...

Like I did the first time...

All by myself.

Just do what you did before.

Right. Right. Uh...

Okay. This is the thing.
I had a little help.

Okay. Katie, it's nothing
to be embarrassed about.

It was a tough code to crack.

Exactly. And I don't know
what he did to crack it.

Katie, who cracked the encryption?

Jim!

- We need to talk.
- About?

The lies that someone in
this family is telling.

- Okay. Here's the deal...
- Your son has superpowers.

My... what? What are
you talking about?

Well, for lack of a better term,
he has a genius-level intellect.

Technically, it's just
heightened cognitive function

facilitated by rapid somatic
transfer between neurons.

J.J.!

Wh-why didn't...
why didn't you tell us?

Look, when I started to get A's
and play football and stuff,

I don't know, I just...

What does playing football have
to do with your powers?

Everything. Football is all angles,
trajectories, velocity.

- I see it all my head.
- That's how you made the team.

Don't you get it? This is the
first time in my whole life

that you guys have actually been
proud of me!

That's not true.

Yes, it is, and I
didn't want you to think

that it was because I had powers.

I wanted you to think
that it was because of me.

So you lied to us?

All right. Why aren't you
more angry about this?

What? I am. Sort of. Uh...

Honesty is complicated where
our powers are concerned.

Yeah, as far as other
people finding out,

but this is our family.

There shouldn't be any
secrets between us.

And you should not be using

your abilities on the
football field!

Why not?

It's an unfair advantage.

- It's called cheating.
- Dad!

- So no more football.
- Until when?

Until you either lose
your powers or... forever,

- whichever comes first.
- No, this isn't fair.

I am not leaving this team.
No way!

- Jim.
- What?

Everybody in this family
uses their powers. I am, too.

And you guys wondered why
I didn't want you to know?

Wow. You were a
really big help there.

Great parenting.

I... You know what?
Just get dressed.

We're gonna be late at the reception.

Look at this way.
A- at least now we know the reason

J.J. didn't get powers is because...
He got powers.

Yeah, but he couldn't
even tell us about them.

What does that say
about us as parents?

Well, as parents, we're breaking
totally new ground here.

We should've had this
contained days ago.

She's off the grid.

There's no way to track her
until she uses her powers again.

Actually, I think I... found her.

Rebecca.

Thank God you're okay.

I was worried.

You should be.

Robbing pharmacies...
Killing innocent people... for what?

I want my life back.

I want to be normal again.
Those pills don't work.

Ah. Nothing does.

You should've come to me.
I could've helped.

- By locking me up again?
- Rebecca.

Maybe this is who I am now,

but at least I can stop you
from doing this to anyone else.

Transport her back to the dormitory,
and... Do it quietly.

Saving lives has always
been the cornerstone

of Global Tech Research.

Countless people
from around the globe

have been cured of
debilitating afflictions...

And have gone on to live healthy,
productive lives.

I am so fortunate to be a
part of this continuing legacy

with my own research into
this extraordinary plant,

the trilsettum coronis...

Put her in the back.

A species whose D.N.A.
is unlike any other.

Oh, my God. It's an earthquake.
Some kind of... What's going on?

It's my very first earthquake.

And it's already over.

Everyone okay?

Whoa. Oh, my God.

Tell Stephanie I'll be right back.

Rebecca, stop!
I- I don't want to hurt you.

I just... I just want to talk to you.
How are you still standing?

You should be in a morgue
after what I did to you.

Yeah, well, we're a lot more
alike than you might think.

Highly unlikely.

You're one of us, aren't you?

They got you, too.

One of who? Who got us?

Look, if you can bring
yourself to trust me,

I can help you find the
answers you're looking for.

You can't help me. Leave.

I can't do that.

Please. Trust me.

No.

Of course they'd send
someone with powers.

It's the only way they
think they can capture me.

Hey, Olivia.

Principal Ackerman talked
to Mr. Robbins today about

an inappropriate relationship
he's been having with a student.

Megan knew nothing about it.

Olivia, I'm sorry
I went behind your back,

- but I was just trying to protect you.
- You don't know anything.

He was taking advantage
of you, Olivia.

By dating my mom?

What?

You might have the perfect family,

but for me, seeing my mom happy

and having a nice guy in our
lives meant something...

Until they broke up.

He was taking me to coffee that
day to basically say good-bye.

He was always so nice to me,

like I had hoped a
father might be.

I am so sorry, Olivia.

I didn't know.

Now he's humiliated,

and everyone thinks I'm
having sex with my teacher,

so thank you so much for
trying to protect me.

Olivia, I'm sorry! I...

Jim. Jim. Jim, do you hear me?

Honey. Honey, open your eyes.

Not sure that's the word I'd use.

Who did this to you?

Steph, there's something
you need to know.

J.J.'s not the only one
who's been lying...

And I'm sorry.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.
I'm perfectly fine. I promise.

Good. Now I can be
furious with you.

Why didn't you tell me there
were others out there like us?

It seemed like a lot to process...

And I didn't want you to worry
any more than you already do.

I'm a scientist, Jim.
I can handle the fact

that the world is filled with strange,
inexplicable things.

Why did she come to Global Tech?

No, it's not Global Tech.
It's Volson.

Look, uh, I've been tracking this
scientist, uh, Douglas Volson.

He was experimenting with chromosome
mutations a lot like ours.

Now who's keeping secrets?

Volson is dead.

And his research has
been mothballed.

Rebecca must not have known that.

Well, whoever this Volson guy is
and whatever he was working on

was clearly dangerous.
You need to leave it alone.

Look, the whole
world is dangerous...

From renegade scientists
to superpowered criminals,

even regular criminals.

And we can't control any of that.

The only thing we can control
is how we deal with it.

And how we teach our children to.

Exactly.

Mr. Robbins?

Daphne.

You probably already know this,

but I'm the one
that wrote the note.

I just thought... I...

I saw the two of you, and then
you were both saying things

that made me think...

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

Don't be sorry for looking
out for your friend.

It's... look, it's what I
was trying to do, too.

But you... you still can.

You can still be there for Olivia.

No.

I can't.

Look, I-I still have my job,
but these kind of allegations

have a way of following
you for a long time.

I guess we'll both have to be

a little bit more
careful next time.

Mom already said I can play,
so if you're here to stop me...

I didn't come here for that, kid.

I came to apologize.

Look, I hate that you lied.
I hate it.

But if I did anything
to make you feel like

you're not good enough,
I'm so sorry.

Dad, these powers

and what they allow me to do...
It's like I'm living

someone else's life... someone cool,
someone smart,

someone that I've
always wanted to be.

I get that, more than
I'd like to admit,

but these powers... they...
they also trick you.

They trick you into thinking

y- you're only special
because of them,

and that's not true,
and that's not fair, either.

So what, are you
gonna tell me that

by playing with them tonight,
it's cheating, right?

Yeah. It is.

It's cheating yourself.

You think you need them

to become this person
that you want to be,

but I think you can do
it on your own, J.J.

I just wish... I wish
you'd believe it, too.

Powell! Game time. Let's go!

Church 22 right on 3! Break!

And one!

You know, I-I was so sure that
what I was hearing was true,

but I couldn't have
been more wrong.

Doing the right thing
isn't always so simple,

with or without powers.

Is that really what you think?

Oh. No, no. Unh-unh.
Do not read my mind,

especially during
heart-to-heart talks. Come on.

Powell. Yeah.

You're in. Go get 'em.

Come on. Hurry up. Hurry up. What?

- They're putting J.J. in the game.
- They are?

- Really?
- Yeah. They're putting him in.

All right, everybody.
X- jet 25 sidewinder on 1.

Ready. Break!

All right, J.J.! All right.

Blue, 25! Blue, 25!

Set! And one!

Pass! Pass!

- He's breaking.
- What?

- Why didn't he just throw?
- Break! Go!

I got 20.

Sorry, J.J.

Ohh. You almost had it.

No, I didn't. The guy
almost decapitated me.

Yeah, but if you got around that
corner, you were home free.

Thanks. I appreciate it, dad,

but what's the return
policy on the cleats?

Hey, if you kept the receipt,

we could trade them in
for baseball cleats.

Dad!
