No Ordinary Family · Season 1, Episode 20

Helen Burton, J.J. Powell and others in “No Ordinary Beginning”

Helen Burton

[points gun at Daphne] I'm running out of patience, J.J.

J.J. Powell

I already told you everything. I swear.

Helen Burton

And somehow I don't believe.

Daphne Powell

J.J., please!

J.J. Powell

I'm sorry. I just can't think, okay? Stress overstimulates the hippocampus, my glucocorticoid receptors haven't been this saturated since... Since the plane crash. Oh, my God. Look, I know why our powers are permanent. Please, just let my family go, and I'll tell you everything you wanna know. I promise.

Helen Burton

J.J., I will. I will let them all go.

J.J. Powell

Okay, you've been mixing the trilsettum with epinephrine - synthetic adrenaline - but what you need was real adrenaline. Now the serum wasn't wrong, the circumstances were. Look, in moments of extreme stress, like life and death, like a plane crash, the receptors in the hippo campus are wide open. And the trilsettum can be absorbed enough for its effects to become permanent. So please...

Helen Burton

Thank you, J.J. You have been most helpful.

[gives gun to guard]

Helen Burton

Give me ten seconds, then put a bullet in each of them.
