Previously
on Black Lightning...

You are the storm,
so you can control the storm!

Don't fear it. Own it.

Need a ride?

I do need you
to contact your son.

Boy knows a lot
about my business.

He's not gonna stop
until he kills me.
- I got you.

What are you doing?
- We're gonna need
money on the run.

What up, Painkiller?
- Here to collect.

Go, go, go.

What we need is a plan.

My aunt,
let's go to her house.

Need to ask you
a few questions
about your nephew.

You know damn well
you ain't no detective.

Why pretend?

Come on. Come on.

Where'd they go?
- Tell me you have him.

Not yet. He's got a cut.
They won't get far.

That's it. Okay.

Come on, come on.
Khalil, come on.

One sec. Here.
Right there. Come on.

Okay.

Okay, sit, sit, sit.

God.

You're burning up.

I thought the toxins
they pumped you full of

were supposed to heal
from stuff like this.

Yeah, J...

Yeah.

Look, we just need to...

You about to fall
on your ass.

Too weak to travel.
You're clammy.

I'm not a doctor,

but if that cut
gave you a fever,
it might be infected, Khalil.

Look, we don't have
any other choice.

I'm gonna try and find you
some antibiotics or something.

No.

Yo, yo, it's way too risky.

We got people out there
searching for us.

Well, what do you want
me to do? Sit here
and watch you get worse?

If it was me laying there,
you'd do the exact
same thing, wouldn't you?

I'll be right back.

Jeff, did you find her?

Do you have her?
Jeff, please just tell me
she's safe.

Babe, I wish
I could tell you that.

But the truth is,
I don't know.

Why? What happened?

When we got
to Khalil's aunt's house,

there was this woman,
highly skilled with knives,

probably sent by Tobias.

She was here before us.

Is... is Jennifer okay?
She wasn't hurt, was she?

No, not that I could see.

She and Khalil disappeared
during the chaos.

And then they somehow
managed to take out
one of Gambi's drones.

So you don't even know
which direction she went in?

No, Lynn.
We will find her.

Lynn?

So what happened?

Bitch came to my house,
looked like she was
trick-or-treating.

She must have
hit me or something,

because the next thing I knew,
you all were standing over me.

Looks like Khalil darted her.

Gambi just gave her
the antivenom to help
speed up recovery.

How you feeling now?
- How does it look
like I'm feeling?

I knew I shouldn't have
let his ass stay here.

Yeah, well, he probably
just saved your life.

Look, any idea
where they're headed?

They didn't tell me.
And I don't think
they wanted me to ask.

I might have an idea.

This blood splatter
is consistent with
castoff from a knife,

our mystery woman's
weapon of choice.
And since none of us are cut-

It was definitely Khalil's.
She was on top of him
when we came in.

Jen could be hurt, too.

Either way, they might seek
medical attention.

They'd never
expose themselves.

Yeah, probably not.

But right now,
it's the only lead we got.

I'll tap into the local
database, check out
the doctors in the area.

All right. And we'll check out
the hospitals and the clinics.

How do you wanna split 'em up?

There's probably
only a handful,

so we should stick together
in case there's trouble.

Is this because
you're worried, or you're
trying to keep an eye on me?

Both.

Well, believe me,
if anything happens
to Jennifer,

I'll be the one
bringing the trouble to them.

What happened?

Nothing.

I just... I don't know.
I couldn't sit around
doing nothing anymore.

Come on in.

At least we can
be miserable together.

Thank you.

Can I see Khalil's room?

It's pretty much
how he left it.

I'm not sure you'll find
anything that'll do you
any good, but...

You don't mind
if I snoop around a bit?
- Nope, have at it.

Just being in here
breaks my heart.

I knew I had done
everything right
this time around.

But when that bullet hit,

I knew he was no better off
than my other son.

Khalil had a brother?

Yeah. He was hardly 15
when he died.

Running with that
One Hundred gang.

Got killed slinging mud
on them corners.

I'm so sorry.

One son dead,
one son on the run.

Seems that motherhood
was never meant
to be my calling.

No, don't say that.

You still have a son,
and he still needs you.

Now more than ever.

Is this Khalil's father?

Seems pretty recent.
Are they close?

Do you think he knows
how to contact him?

I couldn't say.

Here's what I know.

That man ain't nothing
and never will be.

Far as I'm concerned,
he can go to hell.

Despite your many successes
this past year,

Todd, we've decided
that the grant
for advanced encryption

is going to another candidate.

Let me guess,
Garett Tortolani?

Actually, yes.

The same Garett Tortolani
whose rich white dad

just donated a new wing
to the research center?

Quite frankly, I resent
the implication, Mr. Green.

Well, you can resent it
all you want.

That doesn't make it
any less true.

Good day, Mr. Green.

The panel's decision
has been made,
and that decision is final.

Some straight bull!
- Security!

You can take that
grant to hell,

'cause that's where
all of you corrupt,
racist bastards are going!

Security.
- Thank you, brother.

Don't touch me.
Don't... Look, don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Surgery, pick up line 24.

Surgery, pick up line 24.

Okay.

...shoulder-length cut.

Maybe a little bit longer
than the shoulders,
about till here.

No?

Another dead end.

I mean, by now,
who knows how far
they could have gotten.

Mom still not answering?

Your mother's
been through a lot.

She probably
just needs a minute.

Mary, we got
a major power outage in here.

Copy that. I'm on it.

What?
- Did you hear that?

So this guy thinks
some kind of power surge
shorted out the machine.

But what if...

Wait, Dad. Come here.
Look up top.

That... There's a scorch mark.

Yeah, it has to be her.
But if she's willing
to take this risk...

Khalil must be
in pretty bad shape.

Gambi, I think
we got something.

You okay?

Never better.

Hopefully this will help.

Let's see.

You wouldn't happen to have
a secret heroin addiction?

Or use some
performance-enhancing drugs?

No. No, but...
But I wish I did.

You imagine how fast
I would have been?

Yeah, and I still would have
smoked your ass.

Only because I would have
liked the view after you did.

It's like that?

You better be nice,
'cause I'm about
to stick you with this.

If I can figure out
how to do it.

When I hacked into
the hospital's CCTV,
I found this.

Okay.
Can you delete this footage?
At least keep her out of jail.

Well, the good news is,
Jennifer isn't hurt.

Yeah, the bad news is,
now both of my daughters
are thieves.

Sometimes you've gotta
do the wrong thing
for the right reasons.

Okay. You see this?

That means that she was here
the same time you were.

All right. Well,
they couldn't have
gone too far, then.

With Khalil injured,
they're probably holed up
somewhere nearby.

Can you tell which direction
she was headed in?

Well, when she
pulled out of here,
she was traveling east.

Whoa. Wait.
Freeze that, right there.
In the mirror.

Damn, who is this bitch?

Now that we have a face,
I can do some serious digging,

find out exactly
who we're dealing with.

I'm going east.

What are you talking about?

Jeff!

What the hell are you doing?

You're not going anywhere
without your suit
to protect you.

We don't have time for that.

I lost her twice,
I'm not losing her again.

Not without your suit, Jeff.
You know how risky that is.

Dad, come on. That's crazy.
Are you insane?

There is a killer
on my daughter's tail,

hired by Tobias,
which means that she's-

She's after Khalil.

No, she will kill
whoever's in her way.

Look, finding Jennifer
is our priority,

but you flying around
without your suit
is just plain reckless, Jeff.

You risk exposing yourself
and your entire family.

The only thing I care
about in this moment
is finding Jennifer.

Jeff, you're not listening.
- Get off of me.

Have you lost your damn mind?
I raised you!

Get off!

Dad! This has
gone too far, guys!

Now, we all wanna
find Jennifer, but it's not
gonna happen like this.

Jeff, I'm sorry.

You've lost perspective.
Please, don't lose your life.

The antibiotics should have
kicked in by now.

Unless it's too late.

Don't even say that.

Don't say stuff like that.

J...

Whatever this is,
it's getting worse.

I'm on fire.

I'm not hearing
that right now.

Stop it. Not after
everything we've been through.

I remember
when I first saw you.

Are you seriously getting
all corny on me right now?

No. No. No, this...

This is a memory
I'll keep for myself.

But...

I knew then
that you were special.

Well...

I remember all the girls
at Garfield going on and on

about Khalil this
and Khalil that.

And I'm like, "What the hell
is the big deal?

Who is Khalil?"

And, um,

then I saw you standing
at your locker.

And I can't lie.

First thing that popped
into my head was...

"Well, damn!"

You hear me?

Hold up.
He invited me.
He invited me.

Let the man in.

Don't you know
this is our guest of honor?

Todd Green.
Born in Fort Valley.

Graduated college at 17.

Earned both
your Masters and PhD
by the time you were 21.

It's kind of weird
that you know all that.

I've been monitoring you
for a while now.

When I heard you weren't
gonna get that grant,

well, I figured it was
a good time to reach out,

introduce myself.

I mean, how did you know
what they would decide
before I even knew?

This is really good.

At $500 a bottle,
it better be.

Must be tough,

smart kid like you,
good family,
good private schools,

always getting passed over
despite his superior talents.

Why do you think that is,
Todd, that you keep
getting passed over?

It's because it's the black
man's burden to carry
the weight of white privilege.

Without the benefits
of being rich or white,

you'll never be better
than second best.

Well, unless of course
you change the game.

Here, I saved you
the best seat in the house.

Now, if these women
aren't to your liking,
I can get you others.

Or if you'd prefer men-

No. No, but... But thank you.
I actually prefer
to not be touched.

That... That would be
my preference.

Ladies, you heard the man. Go.

This is what they call
the good life, Todd.

And you'd better
get used to it,

because that old life
just doesn't exist anymore.

I don't even know
why I'm here.

I did some reading today.

In fact, I probably read
everything that's ever
been written about you.

Press doesn't really paint you
in the most flattering light.

I'd like to think
that we're both worth

more than the labels
society put upon us.

Just know this,
I come to you as a friend,

a friend with
enormous resources

who can pull you up out
of that second-class status

you've been branded with.

All you have to do is say yes.

Excuse me for a moment.

Yes.

Our friend's gonna be dead
within the hour.

Thought you should know.
- I had one request,

and that was for him
to be brought in alive.

Which was clearly my intent.

But when those
metas showed up,
I went with the poison blades.

If it wasn't for his
enhanced immune system,

he would've been
dead hours ago.

Are you a...

My terms were very clear.
If you want your money,
abide by them.

Tobias, come on,
dead is dead.

Let's not make
things difficult.

Death at someone else's hands
is too easy an outcome.

I want him alive.
No exceptions. No excuses.

Giselle Cutter.
Assassin, tracker,

world-class martial artist,
mercenary for hire.

Is she a meta?
- There are rumors.

People have had her
lined up point-blank,
and they've missed.

She's bulletproof?
- Bullets never hit her.

It's also been said that
she can literally throw
knives around corners.

That says to me,
low-level telekinetic.

Any connection to Tobias?
- Nothing solid.

And she's been tracking Jen
since the hospital.

She's several hours
ahead of us.

These markers signify
all of the zoned locations
within the county.

A total of 41.

I've searched every structure
30 miles east of the hospital.

There's nothing but mountains
to the north.

Now, if Khalil was hurt
bad enough that Jen
would steal medicine,

there's no way
he's hiking that terrain.

That leaves us
with 15 possible locations,

including some farms,
silos and an old power plant.

Keep monitoring the sheriff
and police scanners.

We still doing this together?
- No, there's no time.

I figured I'd see you.

Hard for anyone
to get into the sanctum
without me knowing.

What are you trying to find?

I got the name
of Khalil's father, Kito.

I'm hoping he might be
able to help us find them.

Is a name all that you have?

That, and he just
got out of jail.

Try the FBI database.

Once he's been fingerprinted,
he's in the system.

"Possession with
intent to sell.

Assault and battery.

Resisting arrest.

Carrying a concealed weapon
without a permit."

Are you sure
this is a good idea?

No, but I'm willing to do
whatever it takes.

Well, if I thought
it'd do any good,

I'd try to talk you
out of it-

I know. I'm as stubborn

as the rest of my family.

I'll be careful. I just...
I need an address.

All right,
we're chasing the clock here.

I've gotta get back.

Right. If I find anything,
I'll let you know.

Please don't die.

God...

God, please don't
let him die.

Please.

Did you say something, J?

What?

No.

No.

Khalil,
I'll be right back, okay?

I'm just gonna
go step outside.

I'll be right back.

Right back.

What... What happened?

You tell me.
This is a place
of your own making.

Wait.

So this is
different than before?
You're not actually here?

Everything you need to know
is already inside of you.

What does that even mean?

I think she means me.

But I'm just as scared
as you are.

Let your fear be your guide.

Two parts of your brain
working in harmony.

So if she's
a part of my brain,
then so are you?

Indeed.

There's something humming
out there in the dark.

Like that machine
at the hospital?

Yeah, exactly.
Just not as strong.

But there's nowhere
to plug something in.

Batteries.
- Batteries.

If there are binoculars,
then someone's
out there watching us.

If you know where to look,
electricity can be
found anywhere.

Including the human body.

Okay.
Mrs. Glew's chemistry class,
fourth period.

We had a whole
section on this.
Think, think, think.

Okay, let me see. Um...

We learned about
charged elements,

human voltage,
electrical currents, ions-

If there's all this
electricity in the body,

and we can see the binoculars,

then we should
also be able to see...

Run!

You good?

I thought you left.

Never.

Never.

Anything?
- No.

Look, I just wanted to...
I wanna...

I just wanna say-
- Jeff. Jeff, we're good.

Did you find anything?
- Nothing.

There must be some buildings
that haven't been registered
with the county,

or that are just obscured
from satellite imagery.

What about Cutter?
- Nothing.

From everything I've gathered,

if she doesn't wanna be found,
we're not gonna find her.

But she's probably
found Jennifer.

No, Dad.
Dad, we don't know that.

But at this point,
we have to assume the worst.

There's gotta be
something we're missing.

My daughter's
a damn generator.

I'm Black Lightning,
and I can't find her.

Dad, come on.
Take a deep breath.

It is because
you're Black Lightning
we're gonna find her.

You gotta believe that.

I don't believe
anything right now.

What did you do to him?

You can tase me all you want,
I'm not telling you nothing.

Tell me what you did.
He's gonna die.

Bitch, we all gonna die.

What did you do? Tell me!

You are gonna die tonight.

Why the hell
didn't the medicine work?

What does the red tape mean?

Well, I'd like to find out.

How about I use
one of your own
poison knives on you,

make you suffer like he has?

As smart as you are,
you probably have an
antidote on you somewhere...

Just in case?

Let's find out where it is.

It's in my necklace.

Booyah.

And this one's for Khalil.

I got something.

I got something.
Hang in there.

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to scare you. I'm...

I'm Lynn Stewart,
Jennifer Pierce's mother.

Our kids are in danger.
I was hoping you might
be able to help.

He's running from Tobias.
- We assume so.

I warned him to stay
away from that dude,
but he wouldn't listen.

Felt like he owed him
for his legs.

Do you have any way
to get in contact with him?

Just his cell phone.

He pretty much keeps me
at arm's length.

And if you talked to Nichelle,
you know she hates me
something fierce.

I was already doing time

when our other boy, Keenan,
started running wild,

hanging on the corner,
same way that I had.

Is there anybody
you can think of?

A friend, a cousin, a pastor,
a couch he might
have crashed on?

No, nothing.

He got this new place,

but I never heard him
talk about neighbors
or roommates.

I don't know why,
I just assumed he was
staying with Tobias.

Do you know where
this new place is?
Do you have an address?

I'm sorry, I don't.

He definitely wasn't staying
with Tobias, though.
That I know for sure.

Kito, thank you.
- Yeah.

Let's just run
through them again.

But we've searched
all of these.

Yes, Gambi,
the clock is ticking.

I feel like
I'm wasting my time.

Now, why do you think
we're gonna find
something new?

Look, like I said,
we must be missing something.

Jennifer is
out there somewhere.

This is like finding
a needle in a haystack.

Wait a minute.

Maybe the haystack's
the problem.

Gambi, can you increase
the voltage threshold
in these goggles?

Yes. Why?

Most generators
and large appliances
operate at about 240 volts.

And since Jen runs
much hotter than that,
by increasing the threshold-

We'll be able
to narrow down the search.

Okay.

All right, let's go. Come on.

I need you to isolate
each location so I can
lock in the coordinates

and see if
anything new pops up.

All right.
Here's the laundromat
Anissa went to.

Here's the pumping station
you saw.

Here's the power plant.

What about this last one?

It's not on the list.

That's gotta be her.
Let's go.

It's okay. It's okay.

Thank you, God.

Don't cry.
- I thought you were dead.

Come on, J.

You know you can't
get rid of me that easily.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Don't scare me
like that, please.

Don't leave me out here, okay?

I got you. It's okay.

What...

What exactly happened here?
- She pissed me off.

She's lucky
after everything she did,

I still decided
to give her the antidote.

The antidote?

I'll tell you later.
Are you good to go?

Yeah.
- Yeah?

I'm fine.
- Come on.

There's quite a bit
of blood over here.
I assume it's Khalil's.

It looks like someone
was held captive here.

There's drag marks
on the ground.

Could be sign of a struggle.

You think it was Jennifer?

With Cutter on their tail,

it's hard to think otherwise.

We saw a series
of electrical pulses.

Maybe try the goggles.
See if there's
any residual traces.

Yeah,
they were definitely here.

This whole area is lit up
like a Christmas tree.

Let's walk the perimeter.

We tracked 'em to a barn
where it looks like
they were hiding.

And?

They were already gone
by the time we got here.

Jeff, there's something
you're not telling me,

I can hear it in your voice.

Lynn-
- No, please don't lie to me.
Not now.

Just tell me the truth.

Did they kill her?

Is that what you're saying?

Is Jennifer dead?

I don't know.

T...

The nerd wants to see you.

I believe you owe
Todd an apology.

I said apologize.

I'm sorry, man.
No disrespect.

I trust you're having
a good time?

Yeah. A little too good,

which is why the question
keeps rattling
around in my mind.

Why me?
Why are you doing this?

Let's just say I'm a big fan.

Well, I'm flattered, but...

I'm afraid I'mma have to
decline whatever it is
that you're offering.

But thank you, you know,
for your generosity.

Though I respect it, Todd,
I think you're bluffing.

Now, we could blame it
on the alcohol

or that surge of excitement
at being wanted,

but if I had my guess,
I'd say this is about power.

Now, how's that?

By rebuffing my offer.

Even if for a moment,
it made you feel strong.

Like you're in control.

Funny thing is,
there's very few people
in this world

that can do what
I'll be asking you to do.

And that is why you're here.

If you come work for me,
not only would I make you
incredibly rich,

but you'd have more
control and more power
than you've ever dreamed of.

Go ahead, look at it.

Did you really just deposit
100 grand into my account?

If it's a problem,
I can take it back.

I wanted you to know
I put a value on your time.

No.
Whatever it is, I'm in.

You know Tobias
is never gonna stop, right?

My family, either.

I know.

J, we're never gonna be able
to run fast enough.

You know that, right?

Then we'll find a place
to hide, you know?

Get 'em off our scent
for a while.

I think you should go home.

I'm not going anywhere.

J, come on. Look,

you deserve better than this.

Look, just because
my life is jacked,

doesn't mean that
yours has to be.

I'm not
hearing you right now.

I'm the ride or die type,
you already know that.

Yeah, and it's the dying part
that I'm afraid of.

Well, I'm not.

We're in this together, okay?

And after everything
we've been through,

what should we
even be afraid of?

There you are.

It's done. What's next?

Well, how much we talking?

Freeland?
