I keep telling you,
if you trained a little more,
180
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,196
you'd have more control.
181
00:09:31,196 --> 00:09:32,572
Less property damage,
182
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,199
no nicknames.
183
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:35,992
Says the woman who leaves
giant cracks in the street
184
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,827
just by landing dramatically.
185
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:40,163
-You can just walk, Anissa.
-You know what? Nevermind.
186
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:42,749
You know what? It's bad enough
I'm arguing with your father,
187
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,209
I don't want to hear it
from you two.
188
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,919
[Jennifer sighs]
189
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,129
The only word I wanna hear
is an apology. Am I clear?
190
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:49,589
[Anissa] Yeah,
you're right, Mom.
191
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:51,466
I'm gonna go check on Grace.
192
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,885
-Bye.
-Bye, Lethal Lightning.
193
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:55,470
-[laughing]
-That's not funny. Anissa!
194
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:59,390
[sighs] I was helping people.
195
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:02,769
What that camera didn't catch
was that family I saved.
196
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,687
Larsen's controlling
my narrative.
197
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,105
I know.
198
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:07,524
Like I said,
199
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:09,567
edited news like that
you can't fix.
200
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:11,903
Now, put my show back on.
201
00:10:13,571 --> 00:10:15,573
[woman speaking indistinctly
on TV]
202
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:16,491
Put me in a coma.
203
00:10:20,829 --> 00:10:22,664
You've been busy, Lauren.
204
00:10:22,664 --> 00:10:24,541
Wait until you
see the playground
I've built inside.
205
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:26,751
Mmm-hmm.
Just what have you got inside?
206
00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:28,211
The stuff that
dreams are made of.
207
00:10:36,928 --> 00:10:39,806
This facility is like
nothing I've ever seen before.
208
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:41,266
-Mmm-hmm.
-It's amazing.
209
00:10:44,352 --> 00:10:46,646
-Are those--
-My pride and joy.
210
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:49,190
The next generation
Direct-Energy Gun.
211
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,442
The press calls them the DEGs.
212
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,987
We're on the eve
of market release.
213
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:58,324
They're going to save lives
and change the world.
214
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,076
-[gun beeps]
-From what I've read,
215
00:11:00,076 --> 00:11:02,829
their energy output is lethal
to humans and to metas.
216
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:04,747
Are you confident they're safe
for mass market?
217
00:11:04,747 --> 00:11:07,208
You think the prospect unwise?
218
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,168
-You're showing
your age, Peter.
-[sighs]
219
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:11,838
Wine only improves with age
220
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,172
if the grapes were good
to begin with.
221
00:11:13,965 --> 00:11:15,466
I missed this.
222
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:18,094
Yes, they are lethal
to both metas and humans,
223
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,555
but I had the techs install
a stun setting.
224
00:11:20,555 --> 00:11:21,848
Can't have
local law enforcement
225
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,434
disintegrating civilians.
226
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:26,853
They're capable of punching
a hole through a tank,
227
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:29,981
or safely neutralizing
a carjacker.
228
00:11:29,981 --> 00:11:32,275
The ultimate peacekeeper tech.
229
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:34,193
Hmm?
230
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:35,236
-[telephone ringing]
-[people chattering
indistinctly]
231
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,830
Marcel?
232
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:48,875
Hey. I didn't expect you
back to work so soon.
233
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:49,876
[sighs]
234
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:51,169
Look, I, um...
235
00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:52,253
I appreciate
the time you gave me
236
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:53,212
to mourn the loss of my son...
237
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:55,798
but I need to work.
238
00:11:55,798 --> 00:11:57,675
I have to get my kids back
from child services.
239
00:11:57,675 --> 00:11:59,177
Yeah, um...
240
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:00,929
everything okay? I mean...
241
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:02,430
-[chuckles softly]
-What happened?
242
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,140
Oh, this? It's...
it's nothing to worry about.
243
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,394
Look, I can't imagine
what you're going through,
244
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:11,022
um, but I have to ask.
245
00:12:11,022 --> 00:12:13,858
You didn't get that from trying
to get back at The One Hundred,
did you?
246
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:16,444
[scoffs] So, Mr. Pierce,
who do you think I am?
247
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:17,403
Black Lightning?
248
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:18,947
[chuckles]
249
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:20,657
No, I'm moonlighting as a...
As a bouncer...
250
00:12:21,783 --> 00:12:22,742
and occupational hazard.
251
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:24,911
Hey, I won, though.
252
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,414
Uh...
253
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:30,959
[bell ringing]
254
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:33,211
I'm late.
Can't set a bad example.
255
00:12:33,211 --> 00:12:34,671
-Right.
-[Marcel clears throat]
256
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,133
[monitor beeping]
257
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:40,802
Here we go, babe. I got you.
258
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:43,262
I got you. [chuckles softly]
259
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:44,597
Hey, babe, I really did
260
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,016
something great
for the community.
261
00:12:47,016 --> 00:12:49,560
You know, the news are
just trying to say that
metas only destroy,
262
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,438
but, no,
I built something, okay?
263
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,107
A safe space.
264
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,191
You gotta see it, babe.
265
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:56,442
A safe space for the homeless.
266
00:12:57,527 --> 00:12:59,153
And I did it without violence.
267
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,865
Hmm. There we go.
Okay, I'm lying.
268
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,534
Maybe there was a little.
269
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:06,828
But, babe, the people I helped,
270
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:10,540
you gotta see
their faces. You had to.
271
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:13,251
Damn, babe,
you're a little ashy today.
What's going on?
272
00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:15,003
[chuckles]
273
00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:18,464
Remember how I taught you
there was a thing. Hmm?
274
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,841
[chuckles]
275
00:13:22,719 --> 00:13:24,429
God, I miss you so much.
276
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,349
It's been so long, babe.
I don't...
277
00:13:28,349 --> 00:13:29,767
I don't even know if you're
still in there.
278
00:13:31,102 --> 00:13:33,146
But, babe, if you are,
279
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:34,564
please can you give me a sign,
280
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:36,107
let me know we have
a future together?
281
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,151
Please?
282
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,360
I love you so much.
283
00:13:40,403 --> 00:13:41,654
[monitor beeps alarming tone]
284
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:45,283
No. No. No, baby, please, no.
285
00:13:45,283 --> 00:13:48,119
Don't do this
right now. Please.

Oh, my God. Baby.
289
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:07,388
Hi.
290
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:11,559
Hi, how are you?
291
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:13,519
Hi, baby.
292
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:24,781
[hip-hop music playing]
293
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:32,246
That face means
someone's in trouble
or you need my help.
294
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:34,207
Both.
295
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:37,001
Tell me you caught that
lying Rebecca Larsen
last night.
296
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:39,337
Yeah, that white woman
had it out for you. Uh...
297
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,757
Lethal Lightning.
298
00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:44,926
That bitch
edited footage from somebody
to fit her narrative.
299
00:14:47,804 --> 00:14:49,263
I need you
to find her for me, TC.
300
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:52,058
You look mad.
301
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:53,810
Please tell me
you're not gonna...
302
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:55,186
[mimicking Lightning]
303
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:57,313
No, no. no.
304
00:14:57,313 --> 00:14:59,148
I need the unedited footage
so I can clear Leth--
305
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:02,693
So I can clear
Lightning's name.
306
00:15:02,693 --> 00:15:04,320
Freelanders understand
the truth,
307
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,238
I'd like to give it to 'em.
308
00:15:08,116 --> 00:15:10,076
I don't know, Jen.
309
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:12,578
Why don't you just let
sleeping Larsen lie?
310
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,706
And why do you care what people
think about Lightning anyway?
311
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:17,792
Isn't that the point of having,
you know...
312
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:20,586
an alter ego?
313
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,255
No. If meta-hate
like hers spreads,
314
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:24,006
it's gonna make all
of our lives more dangerous.
315
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:27,593
Please?
316
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:33,975
All right, fine.
317
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:36,519
[whirring]
318
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:42,275
[breathing heavily]
319
00:15:45,695 --> 00:15:48,156
There you go. Terry Andrews.
320
00:15:49,657 --> 00:15:51,868
Don't go
and do something crazy.
321
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:53,703
-Thanks.
-Good luck.
322
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:56,247
[bell rings]
323
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,293
[Lynn] Not much has changed
since our last session.
324
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:03,546
Jeff is still sulking.
325
00:16:03,546 --> 00:16:06,132
And I'm still juggling my work,
326
00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:08,259
with teaching night school
at Garfield.
327
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:09,427
Let's talk about that.
328
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:11,679
Elaborate on your decision
329
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,347
to split your time.
330
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:15,099
Rebuilding our community is...
331
00:16:16,058 --> 00:16:17,727
Is paramount right now.
332
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:20,021
And while Jeff's
taking a break,
333
00:16:20,021 --> 00:16:22,440
-I'm filling in.
-Why?
334
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,151
Commitment to duty
has been drilled into me
as a child.
335
00:16:26,027 --> 00:16:27,737
Both my parents
336
00:16:27,737 --> 00:16:29,280
proudly served in the military.
337
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,741
Their parents before them.
338
00:16:31,741 --> 00:16:34,702
My brother John
left college and went
straight into the army.
339
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,037
But you didn't.
340
00:16:36,037 --> 00:16:38,247
Why choose
the path less traveled?
341
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:40,124
Um...
342
00:16:41,918 --> 00:16:43,377
It was chosen for me.
343
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:46,047
I was different.
344
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:49,342
Smarter than my brother,
my parents.
345
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:51,844
They convinced me that
the military would be tedious,
346
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:54,347
and I wouldn't fit the mold.
347
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:55,848
And how did that make you feel?
348
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:00,436
Like an outsider.
349
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:02,772
Hmm.
350
00:17:02,772 --> 00:17:06,567
But I guess my parents made
the right choice, so...
351
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:10,112
You're a world-renowned
geneticist.
352
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:13,157
And a foremost expert
on metagenics.
353
00:17:13,157 --> 00:17:15,701
It's perfectly acceptable
354
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,955
-to sort of
stretch your ego here.

Jeff and the girls, they have
360
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:31,467

363
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:38,724
Jeff told me,

"You don't belong.
You're not one of us."

00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,562
-Hmm.

when I was young.

435

and of course,
its lawful occupation
448
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:07,219

The schematics don't
mention it by name,

proprietary.

00:27:05,374 --> 00:27:08,001
So, don't worry, TC.
I'm a professional.
532
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:17,511
That's not good
for Black Lightning.
533
00:27:19,012 --> 00:27:20,514
That's not good
for anyone.
534
00:27:22,516 --> 00:27:24,142
[people clamoring]
535
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:25,394
All bets are in.
536
00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:31,024
-Fight!
-[bell dinging]
537

[both grunting]
541
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:02,973
Yeah!
542
00:28:11,607 --> 00:28:14,735
[crowd cheering]
543
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:32,377
[grunting continues]

[crowd gasps]
545
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:38,508
No one can beat me!
546
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:44,890
[grunts]
547
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:46,642
[crowd booing]
548
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,770
No man alive.
549
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:51,730
Yo, should I stop
the fight?
550
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:53,315
He about to kill
Mr. Pierce.
551
00:28:55,192 --> 00:28:56,610
I don't think
he will.
552
00:28:58,987 --> 00:29:01,448
[crowd jeering]
553
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:10,916
No! [groans]
554
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:18,256
Stay down, old man.
You're done.
555
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,511
[crowd cheering]
556
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:30,435
Don't you turn your back on me.
557
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:35,983
[crowd exclaims]
558
00:29:36,858 --> 00:29:38,110
We're not done here.
559
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:42,155
[both grunting]
560
00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:56,837

00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:21,945
[crowd cheering]
563
00:30:22,946 --> 00:30:23,905
Yeah!
564
00:30:40,797 --> 00:30:41,840
All right.
565
00:30:44,217 --> 00:30:46,803
This is where
I grew up.
566
00:30:46,803 --> 00:30:52,100
Now, I know it's, uh,
a little old fashioned,
567
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,478
but you're welcome
to stay until you get back
on your feet.
568
00:30:54,478 --> 00:30:56,480
Uh, it's perfect,
Mr. Pierce.
569
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,150
Look, please, please
call me Jefferson.
570
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:02,652
We spilled blood together.
571
00:31:03,779 --> 00:31:05,197
Uh, you more than me.
572
00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:08,408
You know, I...
573
00:31:08,408 --> 00:31:12,079
I know you took gold
in the decathlon
back in the day...
574
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,830
but I didn't know
you could fight, too.
575
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,624
Yeah, well, I grew up in
the streets of Freeland,
you know.
576
00:31:15,624 --> 00:31:16,833
I learned a trick or two.
577
00:31:17,793 --> 00:31:19,503
Fair enough.
578
00:31:19,503 --> 00:31:21,838
Still, I've never seen
anybody fight like that.
579
00:31:21,838 --> 00:31:23,215
I mean, especially
a principal.
580
00:31:23,215 --> 00:31:25,133
[Jefferson chuckles]
581
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:28,470
You, you may be the most
impressive man I know,
Mr... Jefferson.
582
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:32,974
-Jefferson.
-Yeah, I almost forgot.
583
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:42,609
Oh, man, I can't accept this.
You won it.
584
00:31:42,609 --> 00:31:44,945
Mmm-mmm.
Lala cheated.
585
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:45,987
That's your money.
586
00:31:55,205 --> 00:31:56,289
First month's rent.
587
00:31:58,458 --> 00:31:59,543
Yeah.
588
00:32:02,754 --> 00:32:05,340
When you're ready
to talk to child services,
let me know.
589
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:06,174
I'll put in a good word.
590
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:10,804
Please do me a favor.
No more fighting.
591
00:32:10,804 --> 00:32:13,974
Your kids need a dad.
And Garfield needs
its teachers.
592
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:20,564
So, this house will take
good care of you
and your family.
593
00:32:25,235 --> 00:32:26,653
Try and enjoy the rest
of your weekend.
594
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:46,590
Ooh, these are for you.
595
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:48,800
Oh, who are they from?
596
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,803
I don't know. I'm guessing Dad.
You know he likes to make
grand gestures
597
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,096
when he realizes
he's actually wrong.
598
00:32:55,265 --> 00:33:00,270
-Well?
-It's your father inviting
me for dinner tonight.
599
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:01,313
What are you gonna
wear tonight?
600
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,356
Oh, I have just the dress.
601
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,525
Your father is not
the only one that can
make grand gestures.
602
00:33:05,525 --> 00:33:07,194
-Ah. Well, have at it.
-[laughing]
603
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:13,700
[machine beeping]
604
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:21,166
Do I want to know
where you got that?
605
00:33:24,794 --> 00:33:25,921
Same way you got this,
606
00:33:26,963 --> 00:33:28,131
doing things we shouldn't.
607
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:33,678
These DEGs pack
quite a punch.
608
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:36,014
I'm not sure even your
new suit could survive
a direct hit.
609
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,309
Well, here.
610
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:40,769
Go on, test it out
if you want.
611
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,106
What if you need
to suit up?
612
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:47,692
I won't.
Look, I told you
Black Lightning's done.
613
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,570
-Jefferson...
-Freeland will be fine
without him.
614
00:33:53,073 --> 00:33:55,075
Honestly, it's a relief
to accept that.
615
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:56,993
Well, you're awfully
chipper about this.
616
00:33:56,993 --> 00:33:59,621
-Have you been drinking?
-Oh, not yet.
617
00:33:59,621 --> 00:34:01,539
I helped someone, Gambi.
618
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:05,877
Me, Jefferson Pierce,
and it felt great.
619
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:07,587
Better than being him.
620
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:10,590
Jeff, I realize you're
in a dark place right now,
621
00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:12,759
but you can't just stop
being Black Lightning.
622
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:15,345
Why not? I stopped
being Jefferson Pierce.
Look where that got me.
623
00:34:16,179 --> 00:34:18,223
Gambi, I'm done.
624
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:19,683
I don't even know
where to start.
625
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:21,393
Well, you can start
with being happy for me.
626
00:34:22,852 --> 00:34:23,979
I'll see you around,
old man.
627
00:34:25,355 --> 00:34:27,440
Where you off to?
628
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,442
I've been sulking
for over a year.
629
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:31,236
It's time I try
to make things right with Lynn.
630
00:34:32,862 --> 00:34:33,905
Wish me luck.
631
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:40,829
[door closes]
632
00:34:43,665 --> 00:34:45,959
-Bonjour, madam.
-Good evening.
633
00:34:45,959 --> 00:34:48,044
I believe I have a reservation
in the name of Pierce.
634
00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:50,922
But of course.
Your party awaits
if you would follow me.
635
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:51,923
Thank you.
636
00:34:58,263 --> 00:35:00,307
[Tobias] Dr. Stewart.
637
00:35:00,307 --> 00:35:02,225
Please do me the honor
of joining me for dinner.
638
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,362
Girl, don't act like
I don't know you.
639
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:16,114
Or would you rather
the fine people of Freeland
640
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:18,742
know about your family's
extracurricular activities?
641
00:35:22,495 --> 00:35:23,580
Please sit.
642
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:30,754
I rented this whole place
just for you.
643
00:35:31,588 --> 00:35:33,882
Forgive my ruse.
644
00:35:33,882 --> 00:35:37,344
But I knew you wouldn't
attend on my account alone,
so I kept my note vague.
645
00:35:37,344 --> 00:35:41,723
But please,
feel free to order whatever
your heart desires.
646
00:35:41,723 --> 00:35:44,059
I'd rather break bread
with Judas.
647
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:47,562
Fair enough. Though
I'd be remiss if I didn't
recommend the cognac shrimp.
648
00:35:49,356 --> 00:35:52,817
Dr. Stewart,
or may I call you Lynn?
649
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,402
I need a favor.
650
00:35:54,402 --> 00:35:56,154
One only you
could afford me.
651
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:57,697
I'll never do
anything for you.
652
00:35:59,074 --> 00:36:00,742
I expected that.
653
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:03,495
But the favor
is not for me.
654
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:08,541
You may not know,
but my sister was diagnosed
with ALS at a very young age.
655
00:36:08,541 --> 00:36:11,753
She was cured through
nefarious medical
experimentation,
656
00:36:11,753 --> 00:36:15,590
but the nasty side effects
became too much
for her to bear.
657
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,094
I promised a cure.
658
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:22,430
Even though she's
no longer with us,
I'm a man of my word.
659
00:36:22,430 --> 00:36:25,433
You're a monster
masquerading as a man.
660
00:36:25,433 --> 00:36:27,477
Mmm.
661
00:36:27,477 --> 00:36:29,562
I recently learned that
a very close friend of mine
662
00:36:29,562 --> 00:36:32,440
was also diagnosed with
this horrific disease.
663
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,193
And I can't bear to watch
her suffer like me
and my sister did.
664
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:36,861
There are other
geneticists in the world.
665
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:39,489
None like you.
You're the best.
666
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:42,909
And I'm willing
to pay for the best.
667
00:36:42,909 --> 00:36:46,913
If you agree to focus
all your research on
finding a cure,
668
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:50,125
I'll fund your new institute
for the next decade.
669
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:55,463
Just imagine all the good
that could be accomplished.
670
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:59,592
On top of being remembered
in history as the Black woman
who cured ALS.
671
00:37:01,761 --> 00:37:02,804
I know.
672
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:08,643
-Decisions, decisions.
-What do you really want?
673
00:37:08,643 --> 00:37:11,646
I don't have the time
or the inclination
for your mind games.
674
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:15,483
No games. Scouts Honor.
675
00:37:15,483 --> 00:37:17,444
Even a broke clock
tells the truth
twice a day.
676
00:37:20,196 --> 00:37:24,284
[chuckles] Listen,
I know we've had
our issues.
677
00:37:24,284 --> 00:37:27,495
Especially with the rest
of that meta freak
family of yours.
678
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:29,706
But, you're different.
679
00:37:30,999 --> 00:37:32,125
You're not like them.
680
00:37:34,461 --> 00:37:36,379
What I need is
your superpower, Lynn.
681
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:43,344
What I need is you
to just be you.
682
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:47,348
Please consider my offer
while we dine.
683
00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:53,980
Garcon, menus, please.
684
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,252
Damn. Damn,
beat me to it.
685
00:38:19,214 --> 00:38:20,924
I'm already late.
686
00:38:24,677 --> 00:38:25,929
[door closes]
687
00:38:27,764 --> 00:38:29,390
[machine beeping]
688
00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:33,061
-What's up?
-You look like trash.
689
00:38:33,061 --> 00:38:35,230
Like you've been
partying all night.
690
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:38,983
[sighs] No, there's always
a come down when I go
to the ionosphere.
691
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,027
I just need a little
pick-me-up.
692
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:44,197
Well, how about
you stop going up there?
693
00:38:44,197 --> 00:38:46,991
Absorbing that much power
has to have some type
of consequences.
694
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:48,743
I'm fine.
I know my limits.
695
00:38:49,953 --> 00:38:51,496
Are you done
with my page yet?
696
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:04,259
[machine beeping]
697
00:39:04,259 --> 00:39:06,219
Lightning is officially
verified on all social media.
698
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:09,472
And you're sure
it's secure?
699
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:13,351
I've been bouncing
signals off of VPNs
all around the globe.
700
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:15,270
It will take a very
determined team
to track it.
701
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:19,440
All right, good.

I just paid him $20

officially ordained.
