All language subtitles for BLACK LIGHTNING - S04 E07 - Painkiller (1080p - AMZN Web-DL)

Previously on Black Lightning...

I love you. You're the best thing
that has ever happened to me.

Painkiller, this is your target.
Terminate with prejudice.

Yes, sir.

We're going to kill the
Pierces. Each and every one.

We have the Painkiller
operating system firewalled.

You're nothing without me.

It's always going
to be inside you.

-Hey! You're not even real.

We'll see after I finish my last
mission and kill the Pierce family.

Starting with that pain in
the ass you love so much.

Jennifer.

Promise me you won't
tell her where I am.

Painkiller is
still inside of me.

The kill order is
still inside of him.

I want you to watch her die.

-No!

Does Jen know you're leaving?

I'm not too good with goodbyes.

- Where are you gonna go?
- I don't know.

But I got to get
out of Freeland.

I had your name removed
from the ASA register

so you'll have a chance at
somewhat of a normal life.

"There's one."

The path has been corrected.

"Go forth and conquer."

These words came
to me in meditation

and led me here,
to Akashic Valley,

a place where I came to
find peace of mind and body.

A place where I pieced together
a family and built a new life,

so that I can conquer
my own duality.

Me, Khalil, who wants
peace and vengeance.

And Painkiller...

who just wants a bloody war.

Give a warning before you

Apologies.

- You good, babe.
- Yeah, I'm good.

Sheesh.

I'm going to the bathroom.

- Hey, man, can I have the bill?
- Yeah, of course.

Come on. Come on.

You gonna help me or are
you just gonna stand there?

Come on. Come on.

Have a good one.

Give her to me.

I'm not letting that Pierce
bitch get away this time.

That's one. But you don't
really want to kill Anissa.

That's Odell. He
put that in your head.

I know that. But what you
don't seem to understand

is that until I kill
every damn Pierce,

I'm in a constant state
of pain, a constant rage.

And I've told you
the war is over.

For you, bruh! Not for me. You know,
as soon as I'm done with that bitch,

- I'm coming after you.
- Two.

And why me? Odell's the
one who created you this way.

Odell didn't create me.

There is no light
without shadow...

no sun without moon.

I was already buried
deep inside of you, Khalil.

Odell, he just weaponized
all that ghetto pedigree anger,

Black boy horror movie
rage that you tried to hide

by being the good running
boy with the pretty smile.

I said give her to me.

Nah, that bitch is dead.

Well...

She's not a bitch.

Freeze-frame.

What happened?

I think you can
see what happened.

What are you really asking me?

How did he get out?

He almost killed her.

The logic bomb I put in
your head gives you control.

It works even better with
your meditation practice.

But he's always looking
for ways to override it.

I'm assuming she's one of the
targets Odell implanted in Painkiller?

- Yeah, that's right.
- Yeah.

Logic bomb wasn't built
to override a kill order.

A kill order is like a GPS.

If the Pierces are anywhere
near him, he can sense them.

That's why you being all the way
out here was such a good thing,

so you'd never see
the Pierces again.

How the hell did
she end up here?

I guess the creator
had other plans.

Yeah.

Hell of a coincidence.

There's no such thing
as coincidences, Philk.

Synchronicity, energy and
intent combined to create

a spontaneous manifestation
of one's thoughts.

Hell, all Painkiller thinks
about is the kill order.

And he's even more intent
on killing Anissa because...

Because he failed his mission
in that previous encounter.

He bought her here.

Look, when the ASA was brought
down, you were out on your ass.

No one wanted anything to do
with anyone who worked for 'em.

I found you here, damn near
homeless and an alcoholic.

And I appreciate that.

Back then, I asked
you one simple question.

Can you fix what's in my brain?
And what was your answer?

- Yes.
- So I bought this building,

built this lab to
your specification.

Look, all I'm saying is you got
what you wanted out of the deal,

the lab, the bar, so you could
look in the face of your demons

and overcome them
everyday, you said.

Well, bruh, I still have
a demon in my head

and he almost killed
Jennifer's sister.

Look, I understand
why you're upset

and I'm working
on it. You know that.

Now that we have some data and we've seen
what this thing does when he sees a target,

it gives me something
different to work with.

But Khalil, this
is the first time.

Painkiller has
shown up in a year...

so give me some credit.

And yeah, you did
buy all of this stuff.

But you wouldn't have know about the
ASA's hidden millions if it weren't for me.

I think I was pretty generous with
your cut considering I took all the risk.

Yeah, man. I'm not debating
that, but I need you to hear this.

I'm not your damn
Asian tech savior, man.

You need to also realize
that as much as you saved me,

I've done the same for you.

So back up a bit, bro.

Khalil, she's waking up!

Hey.

Happy to see you awake.

I believe you're
going to be all right.

I'm Donald. I'm here to
make sure you keep breathing.

Hey, that's not
Painkiller, that's Khalil.

He's not going to
hurt you, I promise.

There were a few
good candidates.

Uh, the bad ones we
tranquilized and we left on the strip.

I mean, they won't
remember anything happened.

They'll think they just had a
few extra drinks and a good time.

You talk too much. Where's Nick?

Uh, Nick. Well,
Nick is kinda dead.

- You can't be this dumb.
- Uh...

How?

Well, we were dragging a subject
into the van when a fight broke out.

And some big Black
guy came out of nowhere

and he poisoned Nick
with one blow to the chest.

He sent him flying backward.

Poisoned? Did you
get a picture of him?

My camera doesn't take
photos of faces, it scans brains.

That's how we find
the smart subjects.

-Bring Nick's body to the lab.

Re-engage.

What do you want?

Uh, just one more thing.
I took a pic of one subject

and her brain was
abnormal but amazing.

I mean, I told Nick and he
had me take another pic...

Please get to the point.

When I opened the
van to sort the subjects,

one of them had shape-shifted
into a large sleeping leopard.

- You captured a meta?
- Yes.

That's rare. I want
to see her now.

I thought I had him under
control, but he found a way out.

I don't give a damn how it
happened. But you're gonna fix this.

Especially after all the times
my family saved your ass.

Anissa, I'm not like
you and your family.

I don't go out there trying to
be some kind of superhero.

Painkiller could end up
killing a lot of innocent people.

And Grace is more than
capable of taking care of herself.

You coward. You know I
could have saved her myself,

but I can barely
move because of you.

They drugged her. She's
probably somewhere still drugged.

And the longer your punk ass
stands here making excuses,

it's gonna be harder
for us to find her.

Now, I almost lost her once,
and I will not lose her again.

No such thing as
coincidences, huh?

No such things as coincidences.

If she wakes, tell her I
went to go find Grace.

Freeze-frame.

Rewind.

Now stop.

See right there. It's subtle, but he
gave that guy right there a signal.

Watch. Continue.

Stop.

Those are the two
guys we need to find.

I'll use the facial recognition
to track down their location.

Listen, I don't know anything.

They pay me to take the photos
and I wirelessly upload them

to a different email
account every time.

You setting these women
up for sex trafficking?

No. No, I would never do
anything as terrible as that.

Because you have morals.

Right.

Some of these people are weird.
They're in some sort of mind cult.

Jeez.

Dude, I can't believe you ran me
over with your car. Who does that?

Whoa. Come on, dude. I didn't
run you over. If I did, you'd be dead.

Anyway, I don't think you're telling
me everything I wanna know, so...

I'mma finish the job.

No. No, no. Come on, dude. I don't
even know the people that I work for.

The money just shows
up in my account.

They're just interested
in people's minds.

And how they work.

No, don't shut the door.

I put a tracker on
him and his car.

He's an idiot, so
it won't take long.

Don't need it.
Hacked the car's GPS.

He made a face-to-face
booth call on the strip

and then headed
immediately to a warehouse

on the outskirts of the Valley.

- I'm sending you the address now.
- Nice work.

Smart guy's not so smart. I'll hit you
when you're close to the warehouse.

I'll try and hack into
the security cameras.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

What was that, anyway?

Just some herbs I put together.

It'll help with the
healing process.

Hmm.

You really know a lot about
healing and medicine, huh?

I was a medic in the Marines.

Some years ago.

You don't seem like the kinda
guy who would work for a murderer.

Khalil is not a murderer.

Yeah, well, that was the
second time he almost killed me.

Khalil didn't try to
kill you. Painkiller did.

-He's at war with himself.

Khalil's been through a lot,
but you already know that.

When I left the military,
things weren't so good for me.

I suffered from
PTSD. Got pretty bad.

When I was finally able to
see the shrink at the VA, he just

gave me some meds to
take and sent me on my way.

One night my mind was hurting so
bad, I took more meds than I should have.

Did you try to kill yourself?

I don't know.

But I'm a pretty big guy, so
they didn't take effect right away.

So I came here, thought
I'd help the healing process

by adding quite a few
whiskeys to the mix.

You're a budding doctor, so you
can guess what happened next.

How did you know that?

Khalil told me. He told
me all about the Pierces.

He really admires
and loves you guys.

Hmm.

Anyway, when I woke up. I
was laying right where you are.

Khalil found me in that
alley pretty much dead.

Brought me here, put me
back together somehow.

He saved my life.

It's a wonderful story,

but I'm not gonna be convinced
unless he saves Grace's life.

I know what's it's like to
be one person on the inside

and have to pretend to be
someone else on the outside.

To lead a double life.
Struggle with identity.

Khalil's struggle is different,
but that's what he's dealing with.

Hmm.

You should understand that.

I never really had to hide
who I was. I've always been out.

Well, then, you're one
of the lucky ones, Anissa.

Or do you prefer Thunder?

Isolate the compound
that killed him.

I want the results in an hour.

Keep her sedated until we find a proper,
more secure environment for her to wake in.

I have special
plans for this one.

There's two guards,
one at the top of the stairs

and one guarding the
entrance to the room.

Got it.

Man, I don't know
what the hell this is

but it is way deeper
than we thought.

These people... I
can't even describe it.

A bunch of kids with computers
connected to their brains.

But Grace is definitely
not one of them.

Wait, how many laptops?

About six. Looks like
one for each person.

Okay. I'll put in a call to
the police for the people,

you grab the laptops.

Maybe there's some information about
why they're abducting these people.

Who are you working for...

and where can I find them?

I want a name.

- Name?
- Maya.

And where?

Damn it.

Coincidentally, the nanotech in their
brains resembles the tech in your brain.

Philky, there's no such
thing as coincidences.

Well, the victims' brains
have been partitioned,

effectively cordoning off a large
section of their brain like a computer.

They're being crypto-jacked to
harness the computing power of the brain

for criminal enterprises
like unravelling Bitcoins.

Okay, but what's the other
part of the brain doing?

Well, it ain't dead. Sort
of in a non-thinking state.

So the brain is meditating.

Don't you need to know that you're
meditating in order to meditate?

Okay, well, can this
technology help with Painkiller?

- It might.
- Good.

All the more reason for
us to find this Maya woman.

Kill two birds with one stone.
Save Grace and fix my brain.

I think I know someone who
can help us find out who Maya is.

This is the closest we've been to
finding a way to get rid of Painkiller.

You really think she can help?

She seems to know
everyone in the Valley.

Everything that went
down or is about to go down.

People say she can tap
into the Akashic records,

a place where the past,
present and the future exist.

- And you believe that?
- I do.

And a lot more.

Philky.

What up, Wo?

What up?

Khalil, this is Wo
Man, Wo, this is Khalil.

- Pleasure.
- Mine, too.

You said it was an
emergency. What's up?

We were wondering if you've
heard of a woman named Maya?

Apparently she's into some
real high-tech mind-bending stuff.

Tech that usually only the
government can get their hands on.

Yeah, I know who she is.

But there ain't no kind of
future in even saying her name.

I know that sounds dramatic,

but you could say it to the wrong
person and end up dead, Philk.

Come on, Wo.

This is personal.
It's family stuff.

And plus, we've got
some debts between us.

-That we do, but...
It's real personal.

And we're short on time.

I'll secure email you the
schematics and location of her retreat

thirty minutes after you leave.

I'm going to say this
and then leave it alone.

If you insist on going there,
you'd better bring an army, okay?

'Cause that bitch don't play.

I just need guns. Lots of guns.

You got lots of money?

Impressive.

Right?

Hey, man, what kind of
game are you playing?

I have a message for Ms. Maya.

You walk in here strapped to the
nines, with a long-ass butcher knife

saying you have a
message for someone?

I know you don't trust me.

Maybe for good reason.

But like you said, I didn't
make me like this. Odell did.

If you die...

I die.

Come on, Khalil. Deep down
inside, your survival instinct...

in all of us.

You need me on this.

That's why you're here.

This technology
is too important.

It could set us both free.

I can't take the risk of you
killing the wrong person.

What does that even mean, bruh?

"Set us free"?

But what you're really saying
is to set you free from me.

I'm not stupid.

I think it means we can
stop warring with each other

and finally live in peace.

No more kill orders
causing you pain.

No more fear or worry of Odell
or anyone else controlling you.

You'll always be a part of me.

It's just a matter of how.

Then trust me.

I don't want Grace dead as
a result of collateral damage.

We'll go in, save Grace
and then get the technology,

and if things get real
bad, then you'll finish.

Understood?

I'll be on my best behavior.

Wake up, boy. We
got a message for you.

PK, you're up.

'Bout damn time.

Everyone back down.

Delay him, but I
don't want him killed.

Katie, activate self-destruct.

Password, please.
- Rosebud.

Self-destruct activated.

Put this safe house on a
ten-minute fuse, then blow it.

Understood.

Whoa, whoa, woman. Where in
the hell do you think you're going?

Where the hell do you think?

Let Khalil and Philky
handle this. Okay?

They will bring Grace back.

Listen to me.

I've known many women in
my life, but I have only loved one.

Now you done
good, cousin Donald.

You got me up, back on my feet.

Now I'm going to use that strength
that you gave me to go save Grace.

Okay, I feel you, let's
go. I'm driving, though.

You're not Khalil.

You're the one who
almost killed my wife.

You're right. I'm not Khalil.

I'm Painkiller. But he sent
me to get you, not kill you.

- Then let's go.
- You go ahead.

I have unfinished business.

- Oh, my God. I love you.
- I love you more.

- Where's Khalil?
- Painkiller. He's inside.

Yo, the building's gonna
blow in, like, five minutes.

Whoa, whoa. They're
never gonna make it.

We have to try.

Painkiller, Grace made it out

and the building is gonna
blow up in five minutes.

You don't have time to find
the tech. You've got to get out.

Get the hell out of
here right now, PK!

You're going to get
Khalil killed, I mean it!

Get the hell out of here.

We gotta go.

I'm tired, man.

I know.

Me, too.

No, you don't understand.
My mind doesn't like me.

It's constantly attacking,

pressing me with
negative thoughts.

Always wanting to hurt someone.

She was my mother, too.

We are one.

It's just that they split
us up with all of their stuff.

But I will find a way to
put it all back together.

But we have to go now.

If I die, you die.

We could be
done with all of this.

I don't want to die.

I want to live.

The part of you that
is me will live if I live.

I'm not your enemy.
And I will save us...

by any means necessary.

But you got to trust me.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Okay, yeah. I'm gonna go downstairs
and check on cousin Donald.

Yeah.

So, how are you, Khalil?

Well...

I'm about the same as I
was when I left Freeland.

Yeah, well, look, you made
some good friends here.

Yeah.

They're about the
only family I have.

- Hey, if you don't mind me asking...
- She's great, Khalil.

-Yeah.

You know Jen's being
herself. She's changed...

quite a bit in other ways,
but we talk about you often.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

I mean, that's besides...

Promise me you won't
tell her where I am.

Painkiller is
still inside of me.

The kill order is
still inside of him.

Most times I have control,
but that's just most times.

It seems like anything that brings me
joy just brings the dark side out of me.

It's something I gotta work on
before I see her again, you know?

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I promise.

Listen, I really just wanted to
thank you, for real. For everything.

No. Thank you.

For trusting me with
what you love the most.

And for encouraging me to
do something good, Harriet.

-You tried it.

You just keep doing it.

You're good at it, kid.

Hey. Maybe.

Maybe.

Anything worth knowing?

There's a lot there

but nothing that's going to
help you with Painkiller just yet.

You got plenty to get
us on the right path.

Man, if we got the tech from the
building, it might have been different.

That's in the past. Thanks.

So what do we got?

It's all in these laptops, man.

Each individual brain
scan tells a different story,

but, you know, at
the end of the day,

these crypto-jack
victims, they'll all live,

but most will have some
serious brain defects.

- It's a damn shame.
- But it's bigger, man.

They're ramping up abductions
of tourists on the strip.

This Maya, she's got her hands
all over it but she's also like a ghost.

You have to go through the seven
layers of hell just to find a last name.

She got everyone in her pockets.

Politicians, police even
the damn meter-maids.

It's like party pic dude said,

it's like a mind cult thing.

-Cults usually have a
means to an end. Mmm.

And a charismatic
leader, like Maya.

I'm telling you, man, it's bigger
than just Bitcoin hacking, bruh.

Something much bigger.

They're really out here
ruining people's lives

and everyone just
looks the other way.

Everyone except us.
