No Ordinary Family (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 16 - No Ordinary Proposal - full transcript

We were no longer an ordinary family.

And we soon realized we weren't alone.

Our arrangement is over. I'm done.

I'm working on my own serum,
an antidote. You'll no longer

- have your powers, but you'd be...
- Normal?

- I won't tell anybody what I saw!
- Oh, I know you won't.

- Oh my God!
- Hey!

Aaah. Where's he headed now, George, huh?

I told you, I said stay on the rooftops!

But I got him crossing 5th,
probably headed to the subway.

Got it!



I can't see him down here, George.
He's in a crowded pit!

Yeah, until now. Guess what?
You got him running

down a dead end, but, dude, be careful.
The man is armed.

All right.
You know, this'll go a lot easier

if you just turn yourself in.

I meant, easier on you.

What the...

All right, George.
I got him. Call the cops,

let's clean him up.

Jasper! Jasper.
Jasper, say something to me.

Somebody help me!

Jasper, talk to me. Talk to me.

Somebody shot my son! Help me!

Please! Please.



- Oh, no.
- Come on, say something to me, please!

Somebody help me, please!

Jasper.

Tell me that you are not blaming yourself

- for this.
- If I hadn't cornered that guy,

he wouldn't have pulled the gun.

- How is not my fault?
- Yeah, but there's no telling

what he might have done
had he gotten away.

Think of all the people
you might have saved.

The doctors have it under control.

There is nothing you can do, Jim.

I can't, but maybe Steph can.

Hey.

Hey.

I can't believe you're awake before me.
I'm sorry,

did you want to say something?

Just this.

Holy frak.

Katie, I've spent most of my life

feeling out of place...

Until I met you,

and I don't ever wanna lose that feeling,

and I never want to live
without you again.

- So... Katie Andrews, will you...
- If you're asking me to marry you,

which I'm 96.3% sure that you are,

then, oh, my God, yes! Yes, yes, yes!

When I have the money, I'll
buy you a ring you deserve.

This is all that I want.

You are all that I want.

- Oh.
- Wow. He's a lucky guy.

- I'm the lucky one.
- Mmm, then why does it sound

- like you're trying to convince yourself?
- No, I'm just...

Okay, so I always had a crush on Wolverine,

but I never thought about what would happen

if I actually married Wolverine,

and if we had little wolvie babies.

Oh. I mean, if we had kids,

do you think they would have superpowers?

Because the terrible twos
would be much terribler

- with telekinesis.
- Well, hopefully you won't have to worry.

I took our little test subject
off the trilsettum yesterday

to prepare him for the antidote.

If it works on him, it may
work on Joshua as well,

meaning he'll be back
to normal before you know it.

That would be the best
wedding present you could give me.

Oh, well, first things first.

I'd like to throw you an engagement party.

- It's what Batman would do for Robin.
- Aw. Steph, you're the best.

But I'm pretty sure
that Robin's a confirmed bachelor...

- Huh?
- If you know what I mean.

Hi.

Daphne. Hey. What are you doing here?

You weren't at school today. Are you okay?

Yeah. I kinda had my hands full here,

- so...
- Who the hell's at the door?

It's just a friend, dad.
Thanks for checking on me.

Listen, my parents
are having a party tonight...

And I thought that maybe you
would come and keep me company.

I know it's gonna be boring,
but there'll be food,

and... me.

Look, I would come, but I just...

I... I just took on a new job,

and it's too late to get
someone to cover my shift,

- so...
- How many jobs do you have?

Uh, ever since my dad's accident,

it's been kind of
up to me to pay the bills.

He can't really hold a job, so...

I said, close the damn door!

I'll tell you what.

Maybe I can come for a bit.
I gotta get out of the house.

Hey, Dad, I'll be back.

Jim, it's a party.

I know.

Then why do you look
like you're at a funeral?

Look, we need to talk... in private.

Oh, Jim. It wasn't your fault.

It was a stray bullet. It was an accident.

Which I'm responsible for.

What else could you possibly do?

There is one thing.

The trilsettum serum?
No. Put that away,

it's dangerous.

Then why did you bring it into our house?

Because there's things
I can't do at the lab.

But you said it could
be used to cure people.

Well, maybe, but you've seen
what it does to them,

how addicted they become, and...

If the kid's gonna die,
isn't that a small price to pay?

I mean, if we actually have
something that can cure people,

- why wouldn't we use it?
- Because interfering in this kid's life...

that's not the solution.

I'm sorry this happened,
but we can't play God.

Dr. King?

This is a surprise... a good one, I mean.

- I was so thrilled to hear the news, Katie.
- Oh.

- My congratulations to you.
- Well, you should come in.

Ohh, okay.

What the hell is he doing here?

- Well, I... I invited him.
- What?

I just started to gain his trust.

It would've been suspicious if I didn't.

I didn't think he'd actually come.

All right. Fine.

- I'll see you, all right?
- Yeah. O... okay.

What are you doing here?

She's actually quite charming.

You know, I can almost see why
you would give everything up

- for her... almost.
- You need to leave now.

And miss your engagement party?

Please, don't do this.

Relax. Relax.

Good evening.

As coincidence would have it,
I am honored to know both sides

of this union that we're celebrating.

Katie is a beloved employee
at Global Tech...

And Joshua... well...

Uh, many of you don't know

that Joshua and I... go way back.

As I've told him over the years,

he is capable of doing anything he chooses,

of being anyone he chooses to be.

And now he's chosen...

to be a fool in love.

So...

To the fate that brought you two together.

Cheers!

Congratulations.

You've made your father proud.

Jim.

Is there something you want to tell me?

I've already broken five of these?

- Maybe you should wash 'em.
- No, that's not what I'm talking about.

The serum. Where is it?

- I don't know. I didn't take it.
- Well, someone did.

I put it back in the dresser,
but now it's gone.

Oh, you don't think someone at the party...

Oh, Jim. Do you know what this means?

We could be responsible
for giving someone superpowers...

No Ordinary Family 1x16 - No Ordinary Proposal
Original air date Feb. 22, 2011

We need to compile a list.
There were 26 guests at the party.

Any one of them could've taken the serum.

I think it was professor Plum

with the lead pipe in the library.

Oh, come on, Daphne. This is serious.

How about we start with
the only certified bad guy

- in the room... your boss?
- Dr. King?

Well, he doesn't need to steal the serum,

- he has access to his own.
- I guess.

Especially when there was
someone else at the party

who had more motive...
someone who needs it to survive.

I have no idea what you're saying.

I had some of the serum
at the house last night, Joshua,

and now it's gone.

Wow. We've been engaged for 26 hours now,

and already you don't trust me.

I'm sorry. It's just...
who else would want it?

Probably not the guy who's
trying to get rid of his powers.

Listen, Katie, I was given the choice

between amazing abilities
and an amazing woman,

and I chose you, and I promise
never to lie to you,

but that doesn't mean anything
if you don't believe me.

So do you?

I do.

Remember, applications
for the taft merit scholarship

are due tomorrow. $10,000, people.

Take it from someone living
on a teacher's salary...

that isn't chump change.

- A word, mr. Powell?
- Come on. What'd I do this time?

I know we've had
our difficulties in the past,

- but I'd like to leave that behind us.
- What's the catch?

Oh. You're quite intuitive, mr. Powell,

and it's because of this intuitive genius

that I am inviting you to join
the academic decathlon team.

As you may know, I am the team's adviser,

and I believe it would be

- a great challenge for you.
- I seriously doubt that.

So... you're not interested?

You're quite intuitive yourself,
mr. Litchfield.

Hey, Nat.

Hi. I was wondering if you
wanted to hang out tonight...

You know, as friends.

I won't even look at you.
Seriously. It's not...

J.J., you keep acting like I don't want

- to spend time with you. I do. It's just...
- You have to study.

- Don't you?
- Yeah. Of course.

Look, I'm applying
for that merit scholarship

everyone's talking about,
and if I'm gonna get it,

then I can't afford to let my grades slip

because I'm hanging out with some cute boy.

So you're... saying I'm cute?

I'm saying, you're a distraction,

and if I have to choose a "ship" right now,

it's not a friendship or a relationship.

It's a scholarship.

Uh, pardon me.

How's he doing?

He's still stable.

I'm sorry.
I should probably know your name.

No, uh, I... I drove the ambulance.

I just wanted to tell you
how sorry I am about your son.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Look, uh, whoever took the serum,

- it wasn't Joshua.
- How can you be sure?

- Because I asked him.
- And?

He promised he didn't.

That's what bad guys do, Steph.

They say they didn't do it.

- They lie.
- Look, you should've heard him, Jim.

He's so in love with Katie.
There's no way he would

do anything to risk that.

But if he didn't take
the serum, then who did?

Chris Minor?

It has to be.

Look at his record...
underage driving, truancy.

My daughter's dating a criminal.

He's not exactly Al Capone, Jim.

Not yet, but these are gateway crimes.

Gateway to what, loitering?

I'm serious, George.
This isn't like getting your wallet stolen.

If this stuff gets in the wrong hands,

there's no telling what kind of hell

- will break loose.
- Any units, please respond.

We've got a 211-S at the corner
of Beach and Laurel.

What's at the corner of Beach and Laurel?

Pacific Access Bank.

Appreciate it, guys.

Cops think it was a smash and grab.

Some explosive device attached
to the ATM machine...

Small boom, big haul.

You see any blast residue
on the ground of the ATM?

- Not really. Why?
- Well, a bomb would've

blasted stuff out and away
from the machine.

It looks like all the damage here is in.

"In" meaning...

Come here. Look, police write their reports

based on what they think is possible,

and a super villain punching
a hole through an ATM

is not one of those possibilities.

That's what you think is going on here?

The super serum goes missing
from my house one night...

Super crime happens
the next day, a few blocks away.

So do the cops have any more leads?

No, just one witness. Didn't get a plate,

but she said she saw someone

- take off on a blue motorcycle.
- A blue motorcycle?

You know someone who rides one of those?

Hey, nice ride.

Mr. Powell?

It's unique.

Don't see many of those
around here, which isn't a good thing

- when the cops are out looking for one.
- I'm not following.

Follow this... you took something
from my house last night,

something dangerous.

It's making you do things
that you're gonna regret,

if you don't already.
Like... like robbing ATM

- machines?
- Look, is this

some kind of new tactic to keep
me away from your daughter?

Because the whole psycho dad
thing... it just might work.

Hello, George. I'm standing

- here with our suspect now.
- Yeah, about that...

I don't, um, think he's the guy.

What do you mean,
you don't think he's our guy?

Well, a minute ago,
there was another ATM robbery.

M.O. identical to the last one.

So if you're standing there
with Chris, there's no way

that he could be downtown,

going Manny Pacquiao on a cash machine.

Okay, if he didn't do it then who did?

Since you're a fan of surprises,

I thought you might like one of your own.

Oh, imagine how it must feel

to be the last one to know

- your own son's getting married.
- I'm not your son.

Don't be fooled by biology.

I loved you as I would one of my own.

Love?

Is that what you call it?

Pumping experimental
serum into a 6-year-old?

- It saved your life, as I recall.
- And turned me into a killer.

Details.

Ah, yeah.

The reason I came
to the Powells' yesterday

was to let you know you'll
always have a home here.

Wow. What a coincidence,
because the reason I came here

was to tell you I'll never come back.

- Without the serum, you'll die.
- Hmm?

Unless you found someone
who can synthesize an antidote,

counteract the trilsettum
and prevent withdrawal.

But very few minds
in the world are even capable of...

Dr. Powell is helping you, isn't she?

Oh, my boy.

Well, that explains the ditzy lab tech.

She's just your way in, isn't she,

to get close to Stephanie Powell
in your quest for normalcy?

No, that's not true.

I love Katie. And I'm not your boy.

And whatever it is you turned me into,

I won't be that for much longer either.

Hey. How's it goin'?

I don't know. You tell me.

All right, look, I can explain.

Explain what? How you harassed my boyfriend

- in front of the entire school?
- I was just trying to protect you.

Oh, sure, by ensuring that
no one would wanna talk to me

for fear of being accosted
by Captain Embarrassing.

Okay, I'm sorry.
Look, you were right. I was wrong.

- Chris didn't take the serum.
- Of course he didn't.

You know,

sometimes I wish
you'd been given super hearing

instead of super strength.

Then maybe you would actually listen to me

every once in a while.

Hey, Chris, get the door. I'm having lunch.

Chris!

I'm coming.

Okay, before you say
anything, I am so sorry.

My dad has some serious

- boundary issues that I...
- Uh, Daphne, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

My dad accused you of stealing.

- That...
- Calm down. It's no big deal.

Seriously, it's fine. Whatever's missing,

- it sounds important.
- That doesn't...

I'm sure he's just questioning
everyone at the party.

It's cool.

Hey. Come here.

I told you, Daphne's mom
said this heals people.

You ready?

Yeah.

Chris, my legs.

Oh, my God, Chris.

It works.

Katie, look.

No signs of withdrawal.

Oh, my God. It worked?

Uh...

And not only that, his organs...

the antidote healed them.

You know, maybe you should
get Joshua down here.

If he's willing, it might be
worth it to test it on him.

If this works, if he could be normal...

Don't jump the gun just yet.

No, no, no, no. I'm not jumping,

just... hoping.

Dad, I gotta talk to you about Chris.

Yeah, and I was thinking about
what you said to me earlier.

- I guess I'm just naturally suspi...
- Dad, you were right.

- Chris took it. He stole the serum.
- What?

But it wasn't for him.
He was trying to help his dad.

They were in a car accident two years ago.

Chris was driving, and he feels responsible

because his dad was paralyzed after that.

Until now.

I saw it. Mr. Minor took the serum,

and then it was like nothing
was wrong with his legs at all.

He can walk.

He's been doing a heck of a lot
more than just walking.

Hey, dad. What is this?

What are you doing going through my stuff?

Where'd you get that kind of money?

Where do you think?
I withdrew it from my savings account.

That's crap, dad.
We've been broke since your accident.

- Where did you get this?
- You know what?

You didn't have any problem

taking something that didn't belong to you

when you snuck into your girlfriend's house

and jacked that green
potion for me, now did you?

Because I was thinking about our family.
I got it for you,

so you could walk, not so you could
do whatever it is you're out there

- doing to get money like that.
- Mind your own business.

And go get me another beer. All right?

You've been sober for two years.
Now you're drinking again?

Forget it.

I'll get it myself.

I've been sitting
in that chair for two years,

just wishing you would've hit
the tree harder that day

and killed me.

Son, you gave me my legs back.

You made me better than I ever was before.

I'm gonna fix our lives, okay?
I'm gonna make them better.

You got no idea what your old man can do!

- Yeah, like busting into ATMs?
- Christopher, you better shut up,

or you're gonna wish I did die
that day, all right? Got it?

Mr. Powell. A word, please?

You can have as many words as you'd like,

as long as they don't include
"academic" or "decathlon."

J.J., why are you so resistant
exercising your fertile brain

with other like-minded individuals?

Just have a lot going on, I guess.

Oh, I know what you don't got
going on... a lady friend.

I know you have affection
for young Natalie Poston.

Why do you care so much
about what I do or who I date?

Well, I take great pride
in my successes, mr. Powell,

and I have great faith in you.
If you join my team,

well, let me put it bluntly...
Natalie Poston's chances

of being selected for the scholarship

would vastly improve. Think about it.

My hope is when I inject
this into your bloodstream,

it'll counteract the trilsettum
in your system,

rendering the active agents inert.

She means, "Say sayonara
to your superpowers."

And what about all my withdrawal symptoms?

Well, if I formulated this properly,

you shouldn't have any.

So in just a minute, you'll be normal.

I'm sorry. Wait.

Can you, uh, give us
just a second, dr. Powell?

Yes, of course.

Joshua, what's wrong?

I know you're not scared of needles.

No, just this one.

Look, Katie,

this is how you know me.

And, I mean, I've seen
the way your eyes light up

when I use my powers, so,
I mean, once they're gone,

how do I know you're still
gonna look at me that way?

Joshua...

At the risk of being overly allegorical,

with or without your powers,

you make my cardiac organ levitate.

- Okay?
- Dr. Powell?

I'm ready.

Roll up your sleeve.

Oh, my God.

What's happening to him?

Joshua, are you okay?

I don't know.

How do you feel?

Uh, Joshua, why don't you try
to engage your powers? A test.

I don't know why I thought...

you could make me into
something I've never been...

normal...

- Uh, mr. Powell?
- You mind if I come in for a minute, Chris?

Look, it's fine.
Uh, Daphne already apologized.

Look, I'm not here to talk to you.
I'm here to see your dad.

W... why?

He's not here.

Well, the man couldn't have gone
very far without that thing,

unless... he's made some sort
of miraculous recovery.

Um, no, of course not.
My... my dad's at physical therapy.

He's been making improvements.

Chris, why don't you stop lying to me?

Look, I... I know you think
you're helping him

by taking that stuff out of my house,

but you have no idea
what it can do to a person.

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

It can make a man do something like that.

It can make a man do something like this.

Look, I know you're just
trying to protect your dad,

but you're the one who needs protection.

I got this wiping out on my skateboard.

I think he's been running
around town, ripping off ATMs.

Punching holes in 'em like this one.

I need you to help us stop him
before he does something worse.

Yeah, George.

Another ATM?

All right, I'm... I'm on the way.

Listen, Chris, I'm sorry
you had to go through this alone.

I'm sorry no one was here
to protect you from your dad.

But you can help us protect
everyone else from him,

if you're willing.

- Where'd you come from?
- Take off the helmet,

toss me the cash, and get off the bike.

How about I hold on to the cash

and just run your ass over?

Look, I don't want to have to hurt you.

Don't worry, you won't.

Come on. Come on.

I'm worried about you, man.

You haven't looked this bad
since my bachelor party.

For my second wedding.

So what happened out there?

You mean besides Roy Minor kicking my butt?

That serum of yours turned
him into a super criminal.

Well, the serum may have made him super,

but Roy Minor was already a criminal.

See, that's how the trilsettum works.

It takes who you are
at your core and it amplifies it.

The question is, how do we stop
someone that's stronger than me?

How do you get stronger than invincible?
You can't.

You just go all out on his ass.

No, two guys as strong as us go all out,

- there's no telling what'll happen.
- He's not gonna hurt you.

- I'm not talking about me.
- Jim,

what happened with the kid was an accident.

That I caused.

Look, there's gotta be a way...
a safer way... to take Roy down.

What about that...

that antidote you're developing for Joshua?

Would that get rid of Roy's powers?

- If it worked, but so far it hasn't.
- Wait a minute.

So you need to take down

someone who's bigger and stronger than you.

I might know just the way.

You still want to tell me

that you got this
from your savings account?

- Mind your business, son.
- Dad,

look, whatever you're
doing, you gotta stop.

You got your legs back. Isn't that enough?

You think walking makes up

for being stuck
in that chair for two years?

I gave you that stuff
to help you start a new life,

- not go back to your old one.
- Yeah, about that...

I'm not really feeling
as strong as I was before.

I think that juice you gave me
is starting to wear off.

Well, don't look at me,
'cause I'm not helping you

- get any more of it.
- Look, you're gonna go to your girlfriend

and you're gonna get me more of that stuff.

I'd rather see you back in your chair.

You sure about that?
Because I can go talk to her mom myself.

You stay away from that family.

You should watch your mouth.

Dr. King? You wanted to see me?

Stephanie, please come in.

Look, now that we're working
more closely together,

there's some issues I think
you should be made aware of.

I know you care a great deal
about ms. Andrews,

so when I learned of her engagement,
I was concerned.

You know I'm familiar with Joshua.

Well, he was

one of Dr. Chiles'
more successful experiments.

Oh, my God. So he's a...

Yes.

The abilities Joshua developed
are quite dangerous.

Uh, I tried to explain this to Katie,

but she has no recollection
of our conversation.

That's odd.

Not really. You see,

Joshua has the ability

to erase memories.

I believe he must've done that
to ms. Andrews.

Why are you guys looking at me like that?

You don't seem to remember

anything that's happened to us
over the last three months.

Erase memories?

Is something wrong, Stephanie?

I... I hope nothing like that's
happened to you,

- I would hate to think...
- No, no. No, nothing at all, I'm fine.

I'm just concerned about Katie, that's all.

Your assistant is marrying
a very dangerous man.

I think it's best that
she learn this from you

before she has to learn it the hard way.

Okay. Thank you.

I don't understand why we're doing this.

Because you're going up
against a supersized version

of yourself, and you
refuse to punch him out.

And you think sparring
with you is gonna help?

- If you can hit me.
- George,

if I hit you, I'm gonna take your head off.

That's a big "if." Go ahead.

- Ooh. Go ahead.
- Hey.

Go ahead. Try to hit me. Ho, ho, ho!

See? That's what most people
think boxing is about...

That Tyson-style, 1-punch knockout.

No, the real sweet science is
about making your opponent miss.

And the more you make your opponent miss,

- the more energy he uses.
- And in Roy's case,

the more serum that burns
through his bloodstream.

Ta-da!

As long as you keep dodging...

I can take him down
without ever laying a finger on him.

Oh. You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay!

Hang on a second.

Daphne?

Chris, you have to tell me what happened.

I wiped out on my motorcycle.

Look, your father's capable
of some very dangerous things.

- I need to know where he is before he...
- What can you do?

Look, whatever that stuff was,
it made him strong,

really strong. No one can stop him.

I can, if you tell me where he is.

He said he was gonna go get
more of that juice. Um...

- Someplace called...
- Global Tech?

Katie?

Uh, I'm down here?

Look, uh, Katie, there's something

- I have to tell you about Joshua.
- Um, we kinda have a guest.

I... I met him in the parking lot,
and he asked to see your lab,

and, well, he's... he's very strong.

You're the one who makes this stuff, right?

- Yeah.
- I need more of it.

Just calm down, okay?
No one needs to get hurt.

Oh, really? Maybe I wasn't clear.

I need you to get more of it,
or I'm gonna snap her neck.

Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Just please, calm down. Please.

I got a tip for you, Nurse Ratched.

Telling a man to calm down
never really works. Now go get me more

of them green vials of yours,

and everything'll be all good, okay?

The side effects from
that serum are startling...

Oh, yeah? Can't be more startling
than being stuck in that chair

- without any hope of ever getting out!
- I understand.

No, you don't understand crap!
I can walk now.

And I'll kill both of you before
anyone takes that away from me.

Now go get me those green vials. Now!

Okay. Okay. I just...
I'm gonna get them for you. I just

- have to unlock that cabinet over there.
- Good, good, good.

Give me the key. Give me the key.

Now toss it over here.

Don't even think about having
any bad aim. Good girl.

Good girls.

- The sedative?
- Yeah.

No! Stephanie!

Care for a rematch?

It's a fight you can't win.

We both know it.

You sure about that?

Missed me.

Is that all you got?

I'm surprised...

With all the practice
you've had on your son.

No.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, it's over.

I wish that were true.

- You did that to my daughter?
- Wh...?

You erased her memory?

What kind of a man hurts a child like that?

I didn't hurt her.
I was doing it to protect her.

Protect her?!

Yeah. Yes.

From knowing too much.

From being too much like me.

She will never be like you.

Just do it. Do it.

Don't worry. I will.

Jim, stop. Don't hurt him.

Leave that to me.

It's true?

You took away Daphne's memory?

Yes.

Just like you took away
mine after I found out

who you really are, what you really do.

Yes, I did.

But I did it because I love you.

Stop.

That's enough.

I don't love you.

I don't believe that.

How could I love someone
who I don't even know?

You've been lying to me
since the day I met you.

Stay out of my life, Joshua,

or whatever your name really is,

forever.

J.J., can you believe it?
I got the scholarship.

Oh, that's great.

Mr. Litchfield just told me.

Oh, no. Were you going out for it, too?

No. No. No, not at all.

I'm just... I'm happy for you.

Excuse me. I have to talk to somebody.

You gave Natalie that scholarship.

Congratulations.
Your deductive skills are astounding.

But I never agreed to join
your academic decathlon team.

That's unfortunate.
I'd hate to inform miss Poston

that the award which she's
so obviously excited about

has been reassigned
to a more worthy student.

- This is blackmail.
- Think of it as a lesson in physics.

Force multiplied by distance,
otherwise known as...

Leverage.

You're leveraging my feelings for Natalie

into my committing to your team.

Ah, you're a quick study, mr. Powell.

That's why I need you.

You're going to be
a tremendous asset to my team.

I'm sorry about your dad.

The truth is, I was relieved
when they took him away.

Is that terrible to admit?

No.

Now you can go live with
your mom and your brother,

have a normal life.

I took care of my dad

'cause I felt guilty
for messing up his life,

but... he's been messing up mine

for as long as I can remember.

Well, I'm sorry you had
to go through all that stuff

by yourself, Chris.

That's the thing...

Since I met you,

I haven't felt so alone anymore.

You mean a lot to me.

I, uh...

I love you, Daphne.

I love you, too.

Jasper's surgery was a success.

- That's great.
- The thing is, when they were doing

the surgery, the doctor said
they found something... a tumor.

He said it was so small,
we would've never known about it

until it was too late.

So he's gonna be okay?

Actually, getting hit
by that bullet saved his life.

Amazing what you can accomplish,
mr. Powell.

You'll be a true asset to the team.

I knew that if you put your mind
to it, you'd get the job done.

Most impressive, mr. Litchfield.

Thank you. You were right, sir.

J.J. Powell is remarkable.

He solved that problem
you gave me in seconds.

May I... may I ask you
a question, Dr. King?

Of course. Anything.

Why did you want
J.J. Powell, in particular,

to solve that problem?

None of your damn business.
