[Jefferson] 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.

[Jennifer grunts]

Go, go, go-

[Jennifer] 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?

[screams]

[both grunting]

Come on. Come on.

[panting]

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

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

[both panting]

[Jennifer] That's it. Okay.

Come on, come
on. Khalil, come on.

[Khalil] One sec. Here.
Right there. Come on.

0K3'!

Okay, sit, sit, sit.

[Khalil groans]

God.

[panting]

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... [9 roans]

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 go try and find you
some antibiotics or something.

Hey. Hey, 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?

Huh?

I'll be right back.

[sighs]

[line ringing]

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.

[sighs in frustration]

Lynn?

[Thunder] 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.

[Gambi] I might have an idea.

[glass crunching]

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.

N' Last night I saw a
superhero He was black N'.

N' He said "This is for the
street Black Lightning's back" N'.

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.

[Lynn] 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.

[camera clicks]

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.

[woman on PA]
Surgery, pick up line 24.

Surgery, pick up line 24.

[indistinct announcement]

[current buzzing]

[buzzing increases]

[high-pitched tone]

0K3'!

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.

[man] Mary, we got a
major power outage in here.

Copy that. I'm on it.

- [Jefferson] 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.

Hey. He'!-

You okay?

Never better.

Hopefully this will help.

Let's see.

[sighs]

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

Or use some
performance-enhancing drugs?

[chuckles]

[coughs]

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.

Oh, 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?

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.

[Gambi] What are
you talking about?

- Dad!
- Jeff. 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.

[Jennifer sighs]

[Jennifer] The antibiotics
should have kicked in by now.

[Khalil] Unless it's too late.

Hey, don't even say that.

Don't say stuff like that.

[Khalil] J...

[shivering]

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?

[coughs] No. No. No, this...

This is a memory
I'll keep for myself.

But... [breathing unsteadily]

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!"

[both chuckle]

You hear me?

[rap song playing]

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.

Oh! Oh...

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.

[cell phone vibrating]

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.

[sighs] 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.

[door beeps]

[Khalil shivering]

Please don't die.

God...

God, please don't let him die.

Please.

Did you say something, J?

What?

No.

[whispers] No.

Khalil, I'll be
right back, okay?

I'm just gonna go step outside.

I'll be right back.

Right back.

[sobbing]

[current buzzing]

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.

[buzzing continues]

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...

[high-pitched tone]

[gasps] Run!

You good?

I thought you left.

Never.

Never.

- Anything?
- No.

Look, I just want
to... I wanna...

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

- 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.

At this point, we have
to assume the worst.

[Gambi] There's gotta be
something we're missing.

[screams]

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.

[current surging]

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.

[Khalil coughs]

What did you do? Tell me!

[9 runts]

[breathing heavily]

[laughing]

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.

[9 runts]

It's in my necklace.

Booyah.

Oh...

And this one's for Khalil.

Hey, hey. I got something.

I got something. Hang in there.

Hey.

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.

[Black Lightning] 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.

[Black Lightning] 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.

Hey.

-[sobbifl9] .Hey.

Hey, 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.

[kissing]

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, uh...

- 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.

[Black Lightning] Yeah,
they were definitely here.

This whole area's 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?

[tearfully] Is Jennifer dead?

I don't know.

[rap music playing]

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.

[chuckles]

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.

[cell phone vibrating]

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. [Stammers]
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.

[Jennifer clears throat]

I think you should go home.

[scoffs]

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.

[Jennifer] 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?

'Cause after everything
we've been through,

what should we
even be afraid of?

- [blow landing]
- [man yells]

[9 runts]

[man groaning]

There you are.

[cell phone vibrating]

It's done. What's next?

Well, how much we talking?

Freeland, huh?

[closing theme music playing]
